My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Chapter 733 The mysterious disappearance of villagers

The following three people dragged their suitcases and slowly moved forward with the queue, waiting for the train to arrive.

At this moment, a man in his fifties sitting next to the window suddenly started talking.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a rumor that a huge tomb appeared in Sanjiashan Village near Nanjiang City!"

The passenger sitting opposite asked curiously, "A big tomb? How did you know about it? Are you an archaeology expert?"

The uncle waved his hands hastily, with an expression that said "you don't even know this" on his face: "It's all over the Internet. I heard that a team of archaeological experts from Kyoto went to that village to investigate a few days ago. Think about it, if there was no big tomb, would they go there?"

"That doesn't necessarily mean it's a big tomb." A passenger objected.

"You don't understand this, do you?" The uncle smiled proudly, "It is said that there is an ancient coffin in that place. It looks very old and exquisite. It is obviously a relic of a wealthy family. The coffin is filled with rare treasures! What do you think, if this is not a big tomb?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but turn to Tie Zhu and jokingly said, "Does your village have such a legend?"

Tiezhu looked at the old man who was talking at length with a bewildered look on his face, then turned to Zhang Hao and said, "That's impossible. How come I've never heard of an ancient tomb in our village?"

"However, there is indeed a coffin at the bottom of the river, but it was discovered a long time ago and is nothing special," Tiezhu added.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and pointed ahead: "Okay, we've arrived."

After saying that, Zhang Hao, Fatty Wang and Tiezhu got off the train one after another. After leaving the station, they quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight for Sanjiashan Village.

After about an hour's drive, Tiezhu described the situation of their village in detail in the car.

When the car was about to reach the destination, the driver suddenly asked: "Are you the internet celebrities here?"

"Internet celebrity?" Fatty Wang looked confused.

The driver pointed to the Sanjiashan Village ahead and said, "I heard that a few days ago, a lot of antiques and cultural relics floated up on the river near this village. They were all gold, silver and jewelry."

"After word spread, many people came here to pan for gold, and many internet celebrities came here to live stream. Even the archaeological team in Kyoto came here after hearing the news!" The driver continued, "Looking at your posture, you don't look like you are here for archaeology, nor for gold digging. Gold diggers wouldn't dare to come here so blatantly. I guess you are internet celebrities, here to live stream, right?"

Zhang Hao smiled after hearing this and said, "It seems like you have sent quite a few people here in the past two days?"

The driver smiled proudly: "The fare to Sanjiashan is very expensive now, two or three hundred yuan for less than an hour. I can take one or two orders a day and then go home. How relaxing!"

The car finally stopped and the driver held out his hand: "We're here, two hundred and sixty!"

Although Tiezhu felt bad about the money, he still paid it obediently. After the three got off the car, they went straight to the village chief's house.

As soon as they entered the village, the villagers saw Tiezhu with Fatty Wang and Zhang Hao, and they gathered around them curiously.

"Tiezhu, is this the great master you invited?" someone asked.

Tiezhu greeted the villagers and corrected them: "What Mr. Big? This is the Yin-Yang Master I invited!"

Zhang Hao just smiled faintly and didn't say much.

At this moment, a group of people in plain clothes but obviously from the city came out of the village. After hearing the conversation between Tiezhu and the villagers, they stopped.

"Mr. Yin and Yang? Wenjin, could this be the person the village chief of Sanjiashan Village is waiting for?" One of them looked at Zhang Hao and his group and asked Chen Wenjin beside him.

This team of people was the archaeological team led by Chen Wenjin. They had just returned from the village chief's house after being turned away. They heard from the grapevine that the reason why the village chief acted like this seemed to be related to this Yin-Yang Master. When they heard the words "Yin-Yang Master", they naturally turned their eyes to Zhang Hao.

Chen Wenjin nodded slightly and whispered, "I didn't expect this Yin Yang Master to be so young."

One of them looked at Zhang Hao and the others with disdain and continued, "Such a young Yin-Yang master, maybe he is just like those health product sellers, a liar who specializes in defrauding the elderly in the village."

Chen Wenjin glared at him and said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Let's go to the river to see the situation first. Now that the Yin-Yang Master has arrived, the village chief should have no reason to refuse us."

"We'll go see the village chief again when we get back." She added, "Also, maybe we can try to contact this Yin Yang Master. Maybe we can learn something from him."

"Him?" The man looked at Chen Wenjin in confusion. "What can he know when he just arrived?"

Chen Wenjin looked at him helplessly and explained, "Even if he doesn't know anything, with his relationship with the village chief, it will be much easier for us to contact the village chief. Besides, since he is called Mr. Yin and Yang, he should have some understanding of Feng Shui. If he is really a Feng Shui master, maybe he knew the location of the ancient tomb earlier than us."

Zhang Hao and his group followed Tiezhu and came to the village chief's house. At this moment, Aunt Liu was sitting by the door, carefully feeding porridge to the village chief who was tied to the millstone.

Zhang Hao pointed at the village chief in astonishment, his face full of confusion. Aunt Liu was overjoyed to see Tiezhu coming back. She put down her bowl of porridge and hurried to meet him.

"Tiezhu, you're finally back!" she said excitedly.

The village chief also shouted with relief: "Tiezhu, you are finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have almost collapsed!"

Tiezhu looked at the tied up village chief, his face full of confusion: "Village chief, why are you still tied up?"

The village chief's face darkened and he complained, "You little bastard, didn't you say you would tie me up first to prevent me from running around after being struck by the evil spirit?"

"Do you know how I survived these days?"

Tiezhu touched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "Village Chief, please understand that your condition was too critical at the time, and tying you up was a helpless move. But, I didn't say to tie you up forever, did I?"

"Okay, now that Tiezhu is back, please untie me!" The village chief complained helplessly to Aunt Liu.

Aunt Liu quickly untied the village chief, then looked at Fatty Wang and Zhang Hao beside Tiezhu and asked curiously, "Tiezhu, is this the Yin-Yang master you mentioned?"

Fatty Wang cleared his throat and answered before Zhang Hao: "This is Mr. Yin Yang from our Yin Yang Inn."

Zhang Hao smiled and nodded: "Hello, I'm Zhang Hao."

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt down in front of Zhang Hao and burst into tears: "Mr. Yin Yang, I finally see you! If it weren't for you, my man would be dead!"

Zhang Hao helped Aunt Liu up and looked at the village chief deeply. The village chief also came over with tears of gratitude: "Mr. Yin Yang, you saved my life! If it weren't for you, I would have been in the coffin! I have lived in vain in my old age!"

Zhang Hao comforted Aunt Liu, then turned to the village chief and said, "Village chief, the matter of you being possessed by the evil spirit doesn't seem to be simple. Generally speaking, although the evil spirit can possess a person and drain the person's vitality and yang energy, it requires the person to actively approach the evil spirit. Did you take something you shouldn't have taken?"

The village chief was stunned, with a look of regret on his face. He glanced at the villagers watching the excitement outside the door, pointed to his house and said, "Mr. Yin Yang, you have worked hard on the way. Come in and have a cup of hot tea first."

Zhang Hao nodded in agreement, and walked into the village chief's house with Wang Pangzi and Tiezhu. Aunt Liu also realized that the village chief might have done something he shouldn't have done, so she closed the door and went into the house to make tea for them.

In the house, the village chief sighed: "The master is really worthy of his reputation. He cured my strange disease without being around. You knew what I did before I even said it. Yes, I did take something I shouldn't have taken that night. If I had known this, I would really regret being tempted by money." Tiezhu asked curiously: "Village chief, what did you take? Can't you just give it back?"

The village chief shook his head and said, "I still want to return it, but I don't know who to return it to." As he spoke, he took out a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets from his arms. This thing was obviously worth a lot of money, but now it has become a burden to the village chief.

Zhang Hao took the bracelet and carefully examined it before placing it on the table. Fatty Wang asked curiously, "Manager Han, is there anything wrong with this bracelet?"

"Yes," Zhang Hao nodded, "There is still evil spirit left on this bracelet. It should be left by the evil spirit that possessed the village chief before. But how did this thing end up in your hands?"

The village chief recalled that night with a bitter look on his face: "It was already late when I went to collect the fishing boats. At that time, I saw something shining brightly on the river surface. I approached and saw a pile of jewelry floating on the river surface. When I was about to pick it up to have a look, a big catfish pounced on me. I almost fell into the water, but fortunately I can swim. Later, I drove the catfish away and picked up the bracelet to have a look. As soon as I got ashore, I felt a black shadow floating by and then I knew nothing. It was not until the child's mother poured black dog blood on me to wake me up that I knew what happened."

Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao in confusion: "Boss, we have heard along the way that a large tomb was discovered here and that someone got gold, silver and jewelry. It seems that this matter is not groundless!"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "What kind of big tomb is this? It's just a trick of the evil spirits."

"Some evil creatures are extremely cunning and good at tricking people into falling for them and then taking over their bodies."

"Speaking of which, you should be grateful to that big catfish. It seemed to understand human nature and rushed into you because it sensed that you were about to encounter an accident. Unfortunately, you did not realize the danger."

"The evil creature was almost ruined by the catfish, so once it possessed you, it immediately caught the catfish to take revenge."

After saying this, Zhang Hao took out a yellow talisman and a dish of cinnabar from his arms, turned to the village chief and said:
"Village chief, please give me a drop of blood."

When the village chief saw Zhang Hao's posture, he understood that he wanted to exorcise the evil spirit for him, so he hurriedly did as he was told.

Zhang Hao mixed cinnabar with the village chief's blood, drew a symbol on yellow paper, and then handed it to the village chief and instructed:

"If you want to cure this disease, you must first return this bracelet. Since you found it in the river, you should return it to the river. It is not yours, so even if you find it by chance, you will not benefit from it."

"After returning it, burn this talisman, mix the ashes with water and drink it. This way, the evil creature that is targeting you will have a hard time finding you."

"I advise you not to covet the things in the river."

"You are not capable of dealing with evil things."

The village chief nodded repeatedly, then pointed to the jade bracelet on the table and asked:

"Mr. Yin Yang, if I touch this bracelet, will it..."

Zhang Hao understood the village chief's concern, so he lightly smeared the bracelet with cinnabar mixed with the village chief's blood.

As soon as the cinnabar touched the jade bracelet, the emerald green bracelet suddenly turned blood red, and then a black gas escaped from the bracelet.

"Fatty, you must remember that if you encounter a jade bracelet of unknown origin in the future, do not take it at will. If the cinnabar mixed with blood touches the jade without any harm, it means that the jade is harmless."

"If it turns into blood jade, taking it would be like asking for trouble."

Fatty Wang was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself that he had touched many ancient jades when he was robbing tombs in the past, and he would check them carefully when he returned home.

Zhang Hao took a piece of cloth, wrapped the bracelet carefully, and returned it to the village chief, instructing him:
"Everything has its cause and effect. Since you found this bracelet, you should return it."

The village chief looked at the bracelet in the handkerchief with deep emotion, and burst into tears of gratitude to Zhang Hao, "Mr. Yin Yang, I am so grateful!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely return it!"

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said calmly: "You don't need to promise me, how you act is up to you."

"Tiezhu placed an order with my inn, one to cure your illness, and two to solve the Feng Shui problem in your village."

"Now that you have recovered from your illness, let's go to the river to find out what happened."

"You can also take this opportunity to return this bracelet."

The village chief nodded, holding the bracelet carefully, not even daring to put it in his pocket, and then said:

"Mr. Yin Yang, you have come a long way, would you like to take a rest?"

"How about we go explore after dinner? It's still early, no need to rush."

"Besides, I haven't told you the details of the situation in the river yet."

Zhang Hao waved his hand, thinking that the Ten Corpse Evils mentioned by the system were about to awaken, and the sooner the better, he should first understand the situation in the river before making a decision.

So he said, "It's okay. We've already had a bite to eat on the way. If there's anything important, we can talk about it again on the river."

The village chief was helpless. He wanted to entertain Zhang Hao warmly and then talk about the Feng Shui of Sanjia Mountain, but seeing that Zhang Hao seemed anxious, he had to nod in agreement.

"In that case, please follow me. I will take you on a tour of this river in my fishing boat!"

After saying this, the four of them left the courtyard and walked towards the river.

At the same time, there were two ships sailing on the usually quiet river.

A big ship and a small black-sailed boat.

Chen Wenjin and his party arrived at Sanjiashan Village two days earlier than Zhang Hao, and were now standing on a large boat looking at the river bank.

"Chen Wenjin, the villagers in Sanjiashan are keeping their mouths shut, and the village chief has never come out. How can we just wait here?" Dapeng couldn't help but ask.

Chen Wenjin looked at the increasing number of people on the riverside and the boats on the river, and shook his head:

"Don't be impatient."

"There must be something fishy going on here with the crowds of people. They must have heard some rumors and gathered here."

"Dapeng, didn't you say someone found antiques here? Have you contacted them?"

Dapeng curled his lips, looking confused, "I was just about to mention this!"

"Previously, there was a man named Chen San who was said to have found a wine pot that seemed to be a cultural relic. But strangely, he disappeared without a trace after finding the antique! No matter how we tried to contact him, it was fruitless. His companions are also unable to find him and have called the police for help!" (End of this chapter)
