The villagers were stunned by this sudden change. The quarreling stopped abruptly and everyone turned their eyes to the river.

I saw a huge black shadow emerging from the water, as if some giant beast was slowly approaching.

When the villagers saw the huge black shadow, they couldn't help feeling a little frightened and they stepped back, talking about it in horror.

"Oh my god, what is this? Is there some monster in the river?"

"Could it be that the evil spirit has come to seek revenge?"

"How can a corpse be so big? Looking at the outline of its shadow, it's bigger than my house!"

"Could it be that the noise just now was too loud and angered the river god here?"

"River God? This is the Yangtze River. Besides, if there really is a river god, why didn't he take care of those evil spirits in the past ten years and let them harm us here?"

Fatty Wang also felt a palpitation in his heart. He approached Zhang Hao and asked cautiously, "Brother Zhang Hao, what on earth is this thing? Was it at the bottom of the river before?" Zhang Hao shook his head slightly. When he used his Yin-Yang eyes to check the bottom of the river, he did not find this huge creature.

Suddenly, a huge snorting sound was heard on the surface of the river, followed by two fountain-like water columns shooting up into the sky, reaching a height of more than four meters before dispersing and falling down.

Everyone was astonished to see a huge coffin floating on the river. On the coffin was a relief of a golden dragon. The dragon's body was wrapped around the coffin, and the dragon's head was reaching out to the four corners of the coffin.

This is exactly the Zhenjiang ancient coffin that Zhang Hao had seen before!

However, what shocked them even more was that under the coffin there was a huge black rock covered with moss and fine sand, which had almost become a small hill.

Everyone was shocked by the difference in size and couldn't help but take two steps back again.

After Zhang Hao frowned and observed carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put his hands behind his back and muttered to himself: "I thought there was no such thing in this river basin."

"What?" Fatty Wang asked Zhang Hao with a puzzled look on his face.

"Water Dragon King." Zhang Hao said lightly.

"Water Dragon King?!" Fatty Wang's eyes widened in shock. "There's actually a Water Dragon King here? That... isn't right! Those evil spirits are doing whatever they want in their territory, and the Water Dragon King doesn't do anything about it?"

Zhang Hao smiled and explained, "Logically speaking, those corpses wouldn't dare to make trouble for the Water Dragon King. But judging from the Feng Shui pattern, the sorcerer who arranged those corpses was no ordinary person. I guess the Water Dragon King was caught off guard and was tricked by that sorcerer."

At this time, the black shadow in the water had completely surfaced and climbed up to the riverside. The villagers could then see its true appearance - it was actually a huge old turtle!

It turns out that this Water Dragon King is not the legendary Dragon King but an elf in a body of water.

Water Dragon Kings can be born in rivers, lakes or old wells, and this old turtle is obviously the Water Dragon King of the Sanjiashan waters.

"It seems that this river basin hides many more secrets than we imagined!"

"Well, speaking of that big fish, I did hear about it. It even became a hot topic in the news!"

"Is this really possible?"

"."

At this moment, both the archaeological team and the personnel from the Second Branch of the Ministry of State Security were shocked.

They originally thought that encountering the corpse evil and the Black and White Impermanence today was already extremely bizarre, but they did not expect that what they had seen before was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

When they saw the corpse, everyone couldn't understand why a dead person could move. When they saw the Black and White Impermanence, the two vague shadows made it difficult to tell whether they were real or an illusion. Perhaps it was just a high-tech magic trick.

However, the huge old turtle they were facing now was real and its existence could not be denied.

The crawling sound of the old turtle, the waves it creates on the water, and even the camera can clearly capture its figure.

When Chen Wenjin saw the old turtle, she felt that her worldview had been overturned once again, and this time it was completely shattered.

"What's going on?" Chen Wenjin stared at the old turtle in amazement, muttering to himself.

"Turtle? Such a big turtle?"

"Isn't this about the same size as a whale in the ocean?"

"This can break the Guinness record, right?"

The big roc next to him also looked at the old turtle in amazement and nodded woodenly, "It's more than just a record-breaking achievement, it's simply unprecedented!"

"I've only heard of the Venice sea monster before, but no one has ever seen it, and there's no video evidence, so there's no way to verify it. Now, I've actually seen an old turtle bigger than a house with my own eyes!"

"It's over. Should I go through nine years of compulsory education again? I feel like I can no longer trust this world."

Logically speaking, the archaeological team has visited countless tombs and encountered many poisonous insects and monsters, including some extinct species, such as the giant salamander.

However, these species pale in comparison to the giant tortoise before them.

The existence of this giant turtle is beyond common sense and completely illogical.

At this time, Chen Wenjin glanced at Dapeng, then shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to the villagers.

The old turtle's actions did not seem to be directed at the villagers.

After it climbed up to the river bank, it just glanced at the crowd and then locked its eyes on Zhang Hao.

The old turtle crawled in front of Zhang Hao, suddenly opened its mouth wide, spit out a peach wood and purple gold treasure box, and placed it in front of Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao walked up and asked, "Is this for me?"

The old turtle nodded slowly without making any sound.

Zhang Hao curled the corner of his mouth, picked up the peach wood and purple gold treasure box, but did not rush to open it, but held it in his hand.

When Zhang Hao saw this treasure box, he knew that it must be a valuable treasure.

At the same time, he also guessed that the reason why the sorcerer who set up the Ten Corpse Evil Feng Shui layout did not kill the old turtle was probably because of this treasure?

"As the ancients said, a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure. The reason why you have been suppressed by the Ten Corpse Demons for ten years must be because of this thing, right?" Zhang Hao said.

A strong hatred suddenly burst out from the old turtle's eyes, making everyone feel an unprecedented fear.

Although the old turtle could not speak, the villagers, the archaeological team and the people from the Ministry of State Security could all feel the murderous intent emanating from it.

However, this murderous intent was not directed at the villagers or them, but at the sorcerer who had tried to suppress it.

Zhang Hao glanced at the old turtle and coughed lightly. Hearing Zhang Hao's cough, the old turtle immediately retracted his murderous gaze and looked at Zhang Hao.

Immediately afterwards, the old turtle stretched out its two front limbs forward and hit its huge head on the ground.

Boom!

With this knock, a huge vibration was felt, like an earthquake. Several villagers hurriedly grabbed the people around them and avoided falling down.

However, what shocked them at this moment was not the question of whether it fell or not, but that they saw the old turtle actually kowtowed to Zhang Hao!

"Is the old turtle kowtowing to Mr. Yin Yang?"

"Oh my god, this old turtle looks like he must have lived for at least a thousand years. I wonder how many people he has seen? If we talk about seniority, I don't know how many generations of our ancestors he is. Now he is actually bowing to Mr. Yin Yang?"

"Is this old turtle thanking Mr. Yin Yang?"

"He must be thanking him. Think about it, he gave me treasures and kowtowed to me. This must be a way of thanking me, right?"

"Yes, there is no other explanation!"

"Village chief, has this old turtle always been in the waters near us?" Someone suddenly looked at the village chief and asked.

At this time, the village chief's eyes were full of confusion, and after a while, he suddenly widened his eyes.

"It's actually true?" This sentence made everyone confused. What is real? Isn't this old turtle now appearing in front of them in its true form? It can't be fake, right?
Someone looked at the village chief worriedly and asked, "Village chief, are you okay?" The village chief shook his head, then stared at the old turtle and said, "You are too young and may not know what happened in the river. Even your grandfathers rarely know about this."

At this time, the villagers looked at the village chief and wondered how many years ago it happened to their grandfather's generation.

"I also heard it from my grandfather. When I was seven or eight years old, my grandfather said that he saw a huge old turtle in this river. But at that time, there was no coffin on its back, and there were no ten evil spirits and stinging corpses in this river. So at that time, children often went into the water to play, and adults went fishing on the river. Some people relied on their courage to go into the deep water to take a look, and my grandfather was one of them."

At this time, all the villagers looked at the village chief and were secretly shocked. Could it be that the old turtle was already in the Sanjiashan River Basin at that time?
"Later, my grandfather went to touch the water one day and saw a huge black shadow swimming in the water. Although he was scared, he was more curious and wanted to see what it was! So he followed the black shadow to the bottom of the river and saw this huge old turtle! When my grandfather told me about it, I thought he was telling me a story! And I had never seen the old turtle in all these years, so I always thought it was a legend. I didn't expect it to be true!"

The villagers opened their eyes wide in shock, and their disbelieving gazes kept wandering between the old turtle and the village chief!
"In that case, this old turtle has been here with us for a long time!"

"Yeah, none of us knew about this!"

"In the past ten years, strange things have happened one after another. Many people have left the village. Who can know these things?"

"Yeah, judging from the appearance of this old turtle, it must be at least several hundred years old, right?"

"Hundreds of years? I think thousands of years is possible! Otherwise, how could it grow so big!"

Zhang Hao looked at the old turtle carrying the Zhenjiang ancient coffin and bowing to him. He nodded slightly, touched the peach wood and purple gold treasure box in his hand, and then said:

"Okay, I've dealt with the Ten Corpse Demons. Although my original intention was not to help you, I did free you from the bottom of the river."

"I will accept this gift."

"Don't worry about the Ten Corpse Demons. I will handle them properly."

"From today on, you are still the Water Dragon King of this area of ​​water. Protect the people here."

The old turtle still didn't say anything, but its actions said it all. It lowered its head, kowtowed to Zhang Hao again, then raised its head and let out a long howl.

"Roar!"

Although the voice was loud, unlike that of the villagers, there was no sadness or anger in it. Instead, it made people feel safe and happy.

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said:
"Okay, let's go back."

After hearing Zhang Hao's instructions, the old turtle slowly turned around and crawled into the river step by step.

When the villagers saw the old turtle was about to leave, they all knelt down again and shouted to the old turtle:

"Thank you for the blessing of the Water Dragon King! The villagers of Sanjiashan will worship the Water Dragon King for generations!"

Their voices rose and fell, and in less than a moment, the figure of the old turtle coffin had completely disappeared in the water.

The villagers stared at the old turtle disappearing, then looked at the river surface, and stood up after a long while.

At this time, the village chief turned his head and looked at the villagers, waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice:
"Everyone listen to me!"

"I know that everyone hates these Ten Corpse Demons very much. I understand and I hate them too!"

"But Mr. Yin Yang is right. We don't understand these things and can't handle them. If we don't handle them well, maybe even two lives will be lost!"

"So I think that everyone has their own expertise. I'll leave these ten bodies to Mr. Yin Yang to deal with."

"If anything goes wrong, it's my fault. I will bear all the responsibility!"

"Besides, even the Water Dragon King thinks that it would be better to let Mr. Yin Yang deal with the Ten Corpse Demons. What reason do we have to think that we can deal with the Ten Corpse Demons?"

At first, the villagers were somewhat reluctant. After all, they had been deceived by the Ten Corpse Demons for so many years, and even caused many villagers to be separated from their families. It would be a lie to say that they did not want to chop the Ten Corpse Demons into pieces.

But after the Water Dragon King showed up, the villagers calmed down. It was not because the Water Dragon King's appearance made them believe that Zhang Hao could better deal with the Ten Corpse Evils, but because even the Water Dragon King had to kowtow to Zhang Hao, so what qualifications did they have to object to Zhang Hao's suggestions?

Zhang Hao said he would personally deal with the Ten Corpse Demons, and the Water Dragon King was very grateful, which was obvious to everyone. And who among the people of Sanjia Mountain dared to oppose the Water Dragon King's opinion?

No one opposed the Water Dragon King, and no one dared to oppose Zhang Hao. So the villagers nodded and discussed:
"Even the Water Dragon King has kowtowed to Mr. Yin Yang. If we continue to stop him, wouldn't that mean we don't respect the Water Dragon King? Why should we expect the Water Dragon King to protect us in the future?"

"That's right. It was Mr. Yin Yang who asked the Water Dragon King to protect us. We must remember this favor!"

"Mr. Yin Yang is the great benefactor of our Sanjiashan Village! Not to mention taking away the Ten Corpse Demons, he can even take my son away!"

"Stop it, Mr. Yin Yang took away the Ten Corpse Demons because he could handle them, why did he take your son away?"

"That's right, we all listen to Mr. Yin Yang!"

The village chief also looked at Zhang Hao gratefully and said, "Mr. Yin Yang, you are the one who saved all the people in Sanjiashan Village, so whatever you say is what it is, and we will never say another word!"

Fatty Wang came over with a smile. Seeing the villagers admiring Zhang Hao so much, he felt very proud! After all, he was the apprentice of Mr. Yin Yang!

So he came over and said with a smile: "Hey, wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier? You people in Sanjiashan Village are quite wise."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Boss, what should we do now? Should we stay here and wait for Zhang Qilin, or should we go back to the inn first?" (End of this chapter)
