Listening to the conversation between the two parties, the person who died should be a Taoist priest.
Could it be?
Xu Keming's face appeared in Cao Yi's mind, his brows furrowed slightly, and he paddled faster. The boat under me tore through the cold lake surface and moved forward at a faster speed. Not long after, he came closer.
A corpse with a rope tied around the neck by a middle-aged man with a cold expression and half his head blocked by the boat came into view.
It was Xu Keming who left the Taoist Temple more than an hour ago!
"Taoist Master"
Mu Heng's voice sounded.
Cao Yi did not respond, staring at Xu Keming motionlessly.
"Are you a Taoist priest from Xuanmiao Temple? You came just in time. Thirty thousand yuan. Hand over the money in one hand and the body in the other."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he tugged on the rope in his hand.
Xu Keming's head tilted to one side, and the strangulation marks on his neck, which had been soaked white by the cold lake water, were shocking.
Cao Yi looked away from Xu Keming and looked at the middle-aged man with a cold expression: "Okay."
The middle-aged man was delighted and slaughtered another fat sheep.
"No, we agreed to eight thousand."
On the boat next to him, Mu Heng had an angry look on his face.
"Think of us as fat sheep. Believe it or not, I will expose you."
Zhang Shan warned while taking pictures of the middle-aged man with a waterproof mobile phone.
"What's the exposure? You came to me. The underwater salvage company I work for is recognized by the state."
The middle-aged man is confident.
As if to deliberately stimulate Cao Yi, Mu Heng and others, he tugged a few more times.
Xu Keming, who died saving people, was treated like a dead dog after his death.
"Ma Dan, just wait for me."
Zhang Shan was furious.
Mu Heng and Li Si also glared at each other.
The middle-aged man snorted and looked at Cao Yi: "Alipay, still> A trace of coldness flashed across Cao Yi's crown-jade-like face.
After traveling through three worlds, especially in the Three Kingdoms world, many people died in his hands.
He really doesn't have much scruples now about killing people, especially evil people.
But considering that this is the real world after all, I didn’t do it myself.
With a thought, magical power bursts out of the body.
Xu Keming, who had turned into a dead thing, suddenly opened his eyes and his body rose directly from the water.
In the sound of rushing water, hanging on the water.
A pale and blue face, disheveled hair, and blood-red eyes.
Horrible to the extreme!
The middle-aged man holding the rope had his eyes wide open, his face full of fear, and his body could not stop shaking.
On the boat not far away, Mu Heng, Zhang Shan, and Li Si were also frightened and leaned closely together.
Zhang Shan, who had something in his heart, turned pale.
"Fake...fake corpse"
The middle-aged man stammered.
Xu Keming moved his neck, suddenly stretched out his pale right hand, and pinched the middle-aged man.
"Ho, ho..."
The middle-aged man kept breathing hard from his throat. The inner fear made him forget the struggle.
Suddenly, the sound of an engine came.
The middle-aged man suddenly woke up and struggled hard. But how could his power compare to the power of turning decay into magic.
Just when he was about to be strangled to death, the power that turned decay into magic receded like a tide. Xu Keming let go of his hand and fell into the water again.
The middle-aged man sat down, breathing heavily.
Cao Yi cast his gaze into the distance,
A government patrol boat is heading this way. In less than two minutes, the patrol boat came closer.
"Comrade policemen, you have faked the corpse, you have faked the corpse..."
The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and yelled like crazy.
A young face popped out of the patrol boat: "Wang Shouhai, why are you so crazy? You haven't fished out the body yet."
How dare a middle-aged man named Wang Shouhai fish out Xu Keming's body? He shook his head like a rattle.
"Come on, poor man"
Cao Yi paddled to Xu Keming's body and fished him out.
"Everyone come back with me"
The policeman on the patrol boat said.
…
Two hours later.
After leaving the police station, Cao Yi went directly to Cheng Wan's jewelry store and met Jiang Haoran.
He is worthy of being in charge of one of the few local jewelry companies.
Not only did he sell the jade at a higher price than the market price, but he also exchanged it for rare rare medicinal materials on the market.
After spending several hours repairing a dozen pieces of jade, Cao Yi left the jewelry store with precious medicinal materials.
The journey was uneventful.
Returning to Yuxu Temple, Cao Yi immediately threw himself into planting. Not only in the Taoist temple courtyard, but also in the shrine.
Of course, not every precious medicinal plant was blessed with spiritual energy. In less than ten minutes, more than five precious medicinal plants died.
I am worried that other precious medicinal materials will follow in the footsteps of the five precious medicinal materials.
Cao Yi continued to adjust the spiritual energy within the spirit gathering array.
…
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
The outside world, or rather the online world, is very noisy.
After the mysterious incident of passing the national flag and Taihu Lake, Taihu Lake once again became a hot search topic.
This time it was - holding the body and demanding a price.
There is also a photo attached, showing a middle-aged man holding a rope around the neck of a dead old Taoist priest with an indifferent expression.
Text introduction: An old Taoist priest named Xu Keming drowned while trying to save tourists who fell into the water due to a ship collision.
Wang Shouhai, the man who retrieved the body, demanded a price for the body. If he didn't have thirty thousand, he wouldn't hand it over.
There are tens of thousands of comments in the comment area.
"Suddenly I feel that human nature is so dark...very disappointing"
“I saved people, but I was treated like this”
"It's 30,000 yuan to get a corpse. Why don't you go and rob it?"
"It's really a trivial matter to ask for money. When there was a craze for corpse retrieval a few years ago, I heard people said that the body retrieval first dived and harmed the swimmers. After drowning, they tied them underwater. They waited until the victim's family came and then pretended to help retrieval. The asking price was sky-high. .”
"This picture matches the title of holding a corpse and asking for a price. It is easy for people to think that if you don't pay, you will not save it, and it caused a huge sensation. I can only say that the capture is really good, the title is really good, and the combination of the two is even better!"
"What's the meaning?"
"It's fake. The rumors have been refuted. Just click on the hot search and you will know."
After seeing this comment, many people went to the hot search and saw another headline - holding corpses for a price to refute rumors.
Click here to see a video of a statement from an official from the relevant Taihu department.
The official said that the middle-aged man named Wang Shouhai was an employee of an underwater salvage company and was performing normal salvage work.
He didn't hold the body to ask for a price.
Soon, Zhang Shan and Wang Shouhai appeared on the screen. Zhang Shan lowered his head and apologized to Wang Shouhai.
Wang Shouhai accepted Zhang Shan's apology.
Comment section.
"I thought it was the reporter who ate human blood steamed buns, but that's what happened."
"Hahaha, I don't know how many people were slapped in the face."
"Nowadays, people listen to the wind and it turns into rain, haha."
"Put yourself in my shoes, don't be a bitch! You go and help others recover bodies for free for the rest of your life! It's smelly and tiring, and there are also accidents of being infected with diseases and being washed away by water! You go! If you don't want to go, why should you? You want others to salvage other people's bodies for free? They did it after putting in labor and bearing a considerable psychological burden."
