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

He added: "Unlike the corpse-finding technique in corpse-driving, the deep-water corpse-fixing technique can directly lead you to the exact location of the corpse. However, it also has a disadvantage, that is, if there are multiple corpses in the water, it may lead you to other corpses. But fortunately, Ma Tao drowned here, so we use the deep-water corpse-fixing technique nearby, and the accuracy rate will be higher."

Fatty Wang nodded in sudden realization, and then he and Zhang Hao boarded the bamboo raft and headed for a place fifty meters north of the river. When the paper boat swam to this location and suddenly sank into the water, Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang looked at each other.

"This is it." Zhang Hao said, taking out the corpse rope from his arms. He squinted his eyes, feeling the place where the death energy gathered, and then put the corpse rope into the water. After the corpse rope slowly sank, Zhang Hao stood on the bamboo raft, closed his eyes, as if waiting for something. His posture was like an old man fishing by the river, holding a fishing rod, without the slightest impatience.

Looking at Zhang Hao's actions, Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Zhang Hao, what are you doing..."

"Corpse fishing." Zhang Hao answered concisely, pointing to the corpse rope in his hand.

"Fishing for corpses?" Fatty Wang was surprised. He had heard of fishing, but this was the first time he heard the term "fishing for corpses". Moreover, he noticed that there seemed to be no hook on the rope, just an ordinary rope.

"This..." Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao with a puzzled look on his face. "Brother Zhang Hao, don't be ridiculous. Although I have never heard of corpse fishing, but if you say it exists, I believe it. But your rope doesn't even have a hook, how can you fish for corpses?"

Zhang Hao smiled and asked, "Fatty, have you heard of the story of Jiang Taigong fishing?"

"Of course I know that," Fatty Wang nodded. "Chinese people should all know this story. Isn't it about Jiang Taigong using a straight hook to fish, and whoever wants to take the bait will do so?"

"It's the same with corpse fishing. Those who are willing will take the bait." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Fatty Wang showed a surprised look: "Is this possible? Brother Zhang, don't lie to me!"

Zhang Hao shook his head and began to explain: "Legend has it that the profession of corpse retriever originated in ancient times, about three thousand years ago, before the Spring and Autumn Period. The first generation of corpse retrievers were inspired by Jiang Taigong fishing and created the method of using corpse ropes to retrieve corpses. This also laid the foundation for the profession of corpse retriever and made it one of the ancient professions later."

He paused, looking at the corpse rope he was "fishing" in the river, and continued: "What I am using now is one of the most famous skills in the ancient world, as famous as the corpse sacrifice order: Jiang Taigong's corpse hanging technique!"

Hearing this name, Fatty Wang showed a shocked expression and said to himself: "Jiang Taigong's Corpse Hanging Technique? This name sounds so powerful."

"This skill is not inferior to the Corpse Sacrifice Order that Hao Xie learned, and it even feels more powerful!" With a fiery light flashing in his eyes, he looked at Zhang Hao and laughed, "Brother Zhang, I think this move is really powerful!"

Zhang Hao continued to explain: "Jiang Taigong's corpse hanging technique can not only retrieve and fish corpses, but also use this skill to retrieve corpses as long as the conditions are met. Moreover, this is not an ordinary rope, it is a corpse rope, which belongs to the underworld."

Fatty Wang looked confused, then pointed at the rope and asked, "Brother Zhang Hao, are you saying this is a corpse rope?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "The corpse rope is not an ordinary rope. It is naturally attracted to evil spirits and dead spirits. This can greatly increase our success rate in recovering corpses."

"This corpse rope has been nourished by corpse qi for at least a hundred years, and its toughness is far greater than that of ordinary ropes. What's more special is that it can also suppress the resistance of the corpse, making our work a lot easier."

"Without these unique features, how can it be worthy of the name of a ghost weapon?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rope suddenly tightened.

"Brother Zhang Hao, look!" Fatty Wang exclaimed, "The rope is stretched straight, did they catch something?"

At the same time, the archaeologists on the river bank in the distance were also nervously observing Zhang Hao's every move. They were worried that they would not find the body, and they were also curious about how Zhang Hao would salvage it.

When they saw Zhang Hao throw down a rope thicker than his belt, they all found it incredible. Secretary Wang muttered to himself with a bitter face: "Just use a rope to retrieve the body? How is this possible? Fishing requires a fishhook, let alone retrieving a body."

The archaeologists nearby also shook their heads, puzzled. They couldn't see what was so special about the rope, and thought Zhang Hao was joking.

However, Zhang Hao looked at the rope in his hand calmly and nodded to indicate that he had indeed caught something. Suddenly, the bamboo raft flipped violently to one side, and Fatty Wang almost fell. He hurriedly pressed down the raised bamboo raft and tried to keep his balance.

"Brother Zhang Hao, what's going on?" Fatty Wang asked in panic.

Zhang Hao frowned and said calmly, "It's okay. The drowning person is turning into a corpse. This is actually better. We can use the force to salvage him."

Fatty Wang asked in confusion, "Leverage? Could it be that the evil spirits are pulling our raft hard?"

Fatty Wang felt his scalp tingling at the thought that the corpse evil spirit might want to pull them into the water. He pressed his whole body on the bamboo raft, but still felt that the raft was about to be overturned. He couldn't help but wonder, how could this corpse evil spirit be so powerful?

Zhang Hao explained: "When fishing out an ordinary corpse, you can't use too much force, because the corpse that has been soaked in water is very fragile. But the body of the corpse is strong, so you can fish it out without worry. However, the weight of the corpse is much heavier than that of an ordinary corpse, so it is easy to pull people into the water."

Fatty Wang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but say, "I feel like I'm carrying three donkeys! What should I do?"

Zhang Hao calmly took out a brush and cinnabar from his arms, threw the cinnabar in the air, and drew a symbol on the rope. He chanted: "The law of heaven is clear, the law of earth is spiritual! The earth god returns to his position, and the water god helps me! Loose!"

With a light shout from Zhang Hao, the cinnabar pot fell into the water. Fatty Wang suddenly felt the bamboo raft beneath him lighten, and then huge waves rose up around him, splashing water everywhere.

Huge splashes of water fell, and Fatty Wang was soaked all over. He shook his head and found that his clothes and hair were soaked by water. However, he was surprised to find that the huge force under the bamboo raft seemed to have disappeared.

"Wow!" Fatty Wang exclaimed, "Brother Zhang Hao, what happened just now? It looks so powerful!" He glanced at the symbol on the corpse rope. This symbol looks a bit like the word "力", but it is not a modern character, but an ancient character.

Zhang Hao nodded and explained, "This is a force-releasing talisman that corpse collectors use to deal with corpse evil spirits. Corpse evil spirits are heavy, and if there is no effective way to deal with them, it is easy for them to be dragged into the water. Just like what happened just now, even you can hardly support yourself, let alone others. However, by drawing a force-releasing talisman on the corpse rope, the power of the corpse evil spirit can be dispersed into the water, so that it can no longer cause trouble. The splash just now was caused by the power of the corpse evil spirit being released into the water."

Fatty Wang nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then asked, "So, if we learn the force-dissipating talisman, can we deal with the corpse evil spirits?"

Zhang Hao responded, "It's enough to deal with the two corpse evil spirits below. But if you encounter a more powerful corpse evil spirit, a force-discharging talisman alone may not be enough. Remember, when you are fishing out corpses, ordinary corpses can be pulled onto the boat, or hung with corpse ropes and floated in the water, which will save some effort. However, you must never let corpse evil spirits get on the boat. This is the rule of corpse fishers, the so-called 'corpses don't touch the boat.' The 'corpse' here refers to corpse evil spirits. The reason is the same as what I said just now. The force-discharging talisman disperses the weight of the corpse evil spirit into the water. If you put it on the boat, the boat will not be able to bear its weight."

Fatty Wang nodded with lingering fear, remembering every word of Zhang Hao in his heart, because these words might save his life at the critical moment. At this time, people on both sides of the river widened their eyes, looking at the huge waves on the water, and looking at Zhang Hao in disbelief. They talked about it: "What happened? Why did the water suddenly explode?" "Did you see it clearly just now? I was busy watching whether the bamboo raft would capsize and didn't pay attention to other things. Did the Yin-Yang master throw a bomb into the water?" "No way? I kept watching, he seemed to draw something on the rope, and then the water exploded." "Is this a trick? Or a magic? Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

The villagers of Sanjiashan Village were full of awe for Zhang Hao. When the bamboo raft landed smoothly, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. Yin Yang is really worthy of his reputation! I'm sure there must be monsters in the water. Mr. Yin Yang was fighting with the monsters just now!" "Stop kidding, what era is it still monsters?" "Really! When the village chief came back yesterday, he told us that there were corpses in the water! It's a monster!" "Corpse? What is that?" "It should be a corpse that has become a spirit! In short, it's not a good thing. Think about it, so many people drowned here, maybe a few of them have become spirits!" "Mr. Yin Yang is so powerful! Now he should have driven the monster away, right?" "I don't know, but it feels like it should be about the same."

After a while, people on both sides of the Sanjiashan River Basin saw Zhang Hao and Fatty Wang paddling a bamboo raft and dragging a rope as if the other end of the rope was dragging something far away. When the bamboo raft approached the shore, the villagers of Sanjiashan Village, the archaeological team members, and the people from the Second Branch of the Ministry of State Security gathered around it. After Fatty Wang fixed the bamboo raft, he went back to help Zhang Hao drag the corpse rope. They walked four meters along the shore before they saw two figures floating on the water. It was only then that the archaeological team was sure that the two figures were the bodies they wanted to salvage!

"It was actually fished out?" "How did he do that? How could he fish out a body with just a rope?" "What kind of magical skill is this? It's amazing!" "It seems that this Yin-Yang master is really capable! If nothing else, at least his skills in driving a bamboo raft and fishing out of the water are really amazing!" Everyone in the archaeological team found it incredible. They originally thought that Zhang Hao was just joking when fishing on the Yangtze River with a rope, but they didn't expect that he actually had such a unique skill! However, no one could figure out how he fished it out, and they could only guess that it was a unique skill.

"... the bodies are out of the water!" "Get up!" At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly shouted. Then he suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the bodies that floated to the surface. He glared and twisted the rope in his hand twice. Then he threw the two bodies in the water back suddenly and they flew out of the water. The bodies were obviously very heavy, but Zhang Hao pulled them out of the water like fishing. This process is the same as the process of corpse-carrying craftsmen. There are steps of raising and driving the bodies, and the corpse-retrieving craftsmen also have the process of retrieving and removing the bodies.

At this moment, the stage of removing the sunken corpse from the water has arrived.

With two dull thuds, the two bodies were thrown unceremoniously to the ground, faces downwards and backs upwards.

This scene caused the crowd to whisper and their surprise was beyond words.

"How much strength does it take to throw the corpse up here?"

"You know, a drowned body can weigh two or three times more than the original one!"

"It seems that this Yin Yang Master has quite a lot of strength!"

"His technique is so skillful, could he be a professional?"

Members of the archaeological team rushed over and exclaimed, pointing at the corpse on the ground.

"Look, there's a dead body coming up!"

"It's Ma Tao's body. He was wearing a protective suit and an oxygen tank."

"Quick, go and see if Ma Tao can be saved!"

The bodies of drowned people are usually swollen due to being soaked in water, with horrible faces, protruding eyeballs, and heads that are much larger than before. If the bodies were placed face up, it would be disgusting.

Seeing the crowd surging, Zhang Hao gently shook the corpse rope, and the rope tied to the corpse loosened instantly.

With a whoosh, the corpse rope flew back into Zhang Hao's hand under his control and skillfully wrapped around his arm several times.

Who can achieve such skillful techniques unless they are professionals?

"Brother Zhang, you are really amazing!"

Fatty Wang's eyes sparkled with admiration and envy, and he hoped that he could reach this level.

It was not until this moment that the archaeological team realized that Zhang Hao had fished up more than just one body!
Someone was surprised to find: "Huh? Why is there another body?"

"Whose body is this?"

"Could it be that this Yin-Yang master wants to get one more and make more money?"

"No, this corpse is wearing the uniform of our archaeological team. Could it be one of ours?"

Chen Wenjin, Dapeng and the leaders of the archaeological team rushed over after hearing the noise. They clearly only saw Ma Tao fall into the water, but did not see anyone else following.

Why is there an extra body?
Dapeng turned the two bodies over, and the onlookers vomited uncontrollably.

Chen Wenjin and others suppressed their nausea and checked the bodies on the ground.

"Why is it Jiang Sheng?" Dapeng asked in astonishment.

"Isn't he missing, but drowned? Or was he murdered?"

Chen Wenjin's heart beat faster, and the two corpses in front of her exuded a strange aura.

Ma Tao's face was filled with horror, as if he had witnessed an extremely horrific incident.

Jiang Sheng's face was calm, but his hands were tightly holding Ma Tao's ankles.

Everyone speculated that if they had not seen Ma Tao go into the water alone, they would probably have thought that Jiang Sheng had drowned him in the water.

"Why is Jiang Sheng here? Didn't he disappear?"

"Could he have been murdered?" (End of this chapter)
