My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married
Chapter 869: Yangtze River Extends Life
It was also because of the burial of the corpse that Huo Xiuer decided to come to Hao Xie to learn the art of Yin and Yang.
It can be said that the Sanjiashan Basin is of vital importance to everyone in Yinyang Inn.
The mention of the Sanjiashan River Basin at this moment naturally attracted everyone's attention.
Could it be that when they were in the Sanjiashan Basin, there was something they didn't know?
Zhang Hao nodded slightly, looked at Tie Zhu and continued to ask: "Are you talking about... the Dragon Coffin Ten Corpse Evils?"
This time it was Tiezhu's turn to be stunned. He had only heard the fortune teller mention that place, and it seemed he had also mentioned something about a coffin, but he had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared. It was the fortune teller in Yin City.
Perhaps even the fortune teller himself did not expect that his luck was so good that he could stay with Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao is a fifth-rank governor! If he had been luckier, he might have been able to come back to life.
What he didn't expect was that today was such a coincidence. The little guy he met in Yin City actually came back to life and found the Yin-Yang Master as agreed.
After the fortune teller appeared, he bowed respectfully to Zhang Hao and said, "Sir, let me tell you about this matter!"
When Tiezhu heard this familiar voice, he almost thought he was back on the road to life.
He suddenly raised his head and saw the fortune teller he met in Yin City.
"Sir! Why are you here?!" he asked in surprise.
At this time, Fatty Wang and his companions looked at the fortune teller, then looked at Tiezhu, then pointed at the two and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Tiezhu nodded excitedly, then turned to look at Lao Xu excitedly: "Dad, this is the gentleman I told you about, the one who took care of me in Yin City! He is very accurate in fortune-telling. When you have time in the future, you can ask him to tell your fortune!"
The fortune teller shook his head with a wry smile, glanced at Zhang Hao secretly and said, "The dead don't tell fortunes for the living, that's the rule. Moreover, how dare I call myself a gentleman in front of the governor? Tiezhu, just call me a fortune teller!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Hao again, and the smile on his face immediately faded. He asked, "I wonder how the governor knew about the Ten Corpse Demons?"
Zhang Hao glanced at a few people and found that they all showed a trace of surprise. Few people knew about the Ten Corpse Demons, so few that even the villagers in Sanjiashan Village didn't know about the Ten Corpse Demons.
It was only after Zhang Hao went there that the villagers found out. Now, when the fortune teller suddenly mentioned it, Fatty Wang walked around the fortune teller twice, and then asked, "You don't mean to say... that the Feng Shui master who made the Yangtze River prolong life and the Ten Evils fill the coffin was you? You are too wicked, aren't you?!"
"Ah? The Yangtze River prolongs life? Feng Shui master?" The fortune teller looked at Fatty Wang in confusion, with a lot of question marks hanging over his head. "What does this mean? Why don't I understand?"
Hao Xie, Zhang Qilin and others also frowned. They had all heard Fatty Wang talk about the Sanjiashan Basin, so they were relatively familiar with it.
But seeing that the fortune teller seemed to know nothing about anything he asked, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Didn't you do the life-extending work on the Yangtze River?" Zhang Hao asked.
The fortune teller shook his head, and then as if he remembered something, he continued: "I seem to remember that there were indeed many corpses in the coffin, which was sealed with corpse wax and then guarded on a dragon eye. But I have never heard of the story of the Yangtze River extending life. I only remember that one time, someone sent me a message on my pager, asking me to go to Sanjia Mountain to take a look. It was only after I went to see it that I knew there was such a treasure under the dragon eye!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment. After looking at each other, they asked in unison: "Pager?"
Huo Xiuer glanced at everyone awkwardly, then said, "How many years ago was this? Although I have heard of pagers, I have never seen one! Oh my god..."
Hao Xie rolled his eyes at Huo Xiu'er and said teasingly, "You are the daughter of a wealthy family. Your family uses mobile phones, so you naturally don't use a pager."
"When we were kids, there were indeed people who still used that old stuff, but telephones were also gradually becoming more popular at that time." Fatty Wang said with emotion, with doubts arose in his heart.
He recalled what the villagers said, that it was after the Yangtze River extended life that the legend of the Ten Evil Corpses guarding the coffin came into being.
But now, according to this fortune teller, he actually found the mysterious dragon coffin before the Yangtze River extended his life, and even saw the body in the dragon coffin. What on earth is going on?
Could it be that the ten bodies had been placed there long ago? What did the Yangtze River's life extension have to do with all this? These two things seemed to have no clue, but Fatty Wang had a hunch that there must be some connection between them. He turned to look at Zhang Hao, his eyes full of confusion, but he found that Zhang Hao just shook his head slightly, indicating that he should be patient.
So Fatty Wang suppressed his curiosity and waited quietly for the fortune teller to continue his story.
"I was really surprised when I found such a treasure hidden under the dragon's eye." The fortune teller looked excited, "That is definitely the royal energy and dragon luck accumulated by Shiva sect for thousands of years!"
"I was thinking about how to get it out, but I didn't expect..." He sighed, "Then I came to this Yin City for no apparent reason."
Zhang Hao frowned. If what the fortune teller said was true, then the soul that came to Yin City was just a remnant of his original soul.
Just like the residual soul in the armchair in Fengmen Village, if the fortune teller did not lie, then the toll collector in the inn that year must have encountered some misfortune, which is why his soul was sealed in the armchair to avoid being stranded in the underworld like the fortune teller.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the fortune teller called himself a wandering soul, his physical body should not be dead yet, but is just missing.
What is even more bizarre is that this remnant soul still retained all its memories after leaving the body.
Otherwise, with the strength of the toll collector, wouldn't it be easy to return the remnant soul? Zhang Hao shook his head and asked, "So, you don't know who sent you the message, just asking you to go to the Sanjiashan River Basin, and then something happened?"
The fortune teller nodded, and Fatty Wang and the others exchanged glances. Fatty Wang spoke first: "This is really weird! If it is true, then someone deliberately led him there to harm him, right?"
"But looking at him, he doesn't seem to be completely dead, just seriously injured. So where is his real body now?" Zhang Qilin also came over curiously, staring at the fortune teller's shadow.
"The final destination of those corpses is the Nine Gates. Could it be related to the Nine Gates?" Huo Xiu'er glanced at Zhang Qilin and said softly.
Hao Xie shook his head and did not comment. Zhang Qilin suddenly said, "Could it be that the guy in the armchair is the same person who did this? Changjiang Xuming might be the next target!"
Zhang Hao nodded and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed time to check the news of that rich man. But after so many years, it may not be easy to find clues."
At this time, the fortune teller saw that their topic seemed to have deviated from the main topic, and he blinked his eyes quickly and said anxiously: "Oh, that's not important! It doesn't matter how I lost it. What's important is that although I didn't get the treasure, I know where the key to the treasure is, and I really feel the dragon luck and royal energy there! Aren't you interested in the dragon luck and royal energy?"
The fortune teller's words were like bombs, constantly exploding in the hearts of Zhang Hao and others.
Zhang Hao had roughly guessed the identity of the treasure, which was probably the wooden box given to him by the Water Dragon King. He had always treasured the wooden box, taking it out to study from time to time, but he could never find a way to open it.
How did this fortune teller know this and even the whereabouts of the key?
Zhang Hao stared at the fortune teller, touched his chin, and asked slowly: "Have you seen the treasure?"
The fortune teller was stunned, his eyes became dull, and after a while he shook his head and said, "Hiss... Why is my brain getting worse and worse? I seem to have seen it before, why don't I remember it now?"
Seeing the fortune teller like this, Zhang Hao didn't think much about it. He turned back to the house and brought back the wooden box. He placed the wooden box in front of the fortune teller and shook it, and asked, "But what about this thing?"
The fortune teller took the wooden box and examined it carefully.
The wooden box was still as seamless as when the Water Dragon King gave it to Zhang Hao, with no cracks visible. It was impossible to insert a key, or even a strand of hair.
However, after the fortune teller looked at it for a while, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he nodded vigorously: "That's right! This is it! Hey? I didn't expect that the adults have already got it?!"
Seeing the fortune teller confirm the identity of the wooden box, Zhang Hao shook his head with a bit of a smile. He glanced at Zhang Qilin and the others and said calmly: "Someone gave it to me. No one said what it was, but it looked very valuable. Speaking of which, I only found out today that there was such a treasure hidden in this wooden box."
The fortune teller was stunned, blinked, and then thought to himself: Did I hear it wrong? Someone actually gave such a priceless treasure to the governor? Although he originally planned to send this news to Zhang Hao through Tiezhu, he never thought that Zhang Hao would get this treasure so easily.
After all, this is a great opportunity! If an ordinary person can get a little bit of dragon luck and imperial aura, then his life will be smooth sailing.
This is even more true for practitioners. If any of the six major sects can obtain Dragon Luck, they will be able to practice like a fish in water and will never stagnate at a certain level like the head of Wudang. The imperial energy can not only help practice, but also make people have the domineering power of the emperor like the ancient emperor.
But now, there is someone who is willing to give both of these treasures to Zhang Hao.
The fortune teller was stunned for a moment, unable to imagine how Zhang Hao did it. Could he be a member of the Shiva sect?
The fortune teller looked at Zhang Hao for a while and then asked, "Excuse me, Governor, is the person who gave you this wooden box a member of the Shiva sect?"
Zhang Hao glanced at the wooden box and smiled faintly, "That's not the case. It was given to me by the Water Dragon King in the Sanjia Mountain Basin. It's strange that the Water Dragon King was suppressed in the Dragon's Eye by the Ten Corpse Evils. He must have been seriously injured by the dragon's energy over the years. As the saying goes, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. The Water Dragon King should have figured this out."
The fortune teller frowned in confusion.
Water Dragon King?
Although his memory is incomplete now, he vaguely remembers that he did not see the Water Dragon King when he almost took the wooden box out last time.
Could it be that he was suppressed deliberately later? I don't know how long it has been since he went to Yin City. After so much time, any changes are possible.
"Governor, I have one more question..." The fortune teller hesitated for a moment and then continued, "Have you...got the key?"
Fatty Wang couldn't help curling his lips at this time, and said reluctantly: "Huh! What key? The old bastard probably doesn't know what this is, right? He probably knew it was a good thing, so it was coveted by others, and it was inexplicably suppressed in the dragon's eye for so many years. He probably thought this thing was a hot potato, so he gave it to us to prevent others from thinking about it in the future."
Zhang Hao glanced at Fatty Wang and reminded him, "Fatty, the Water Dragon King has been guarding this place for many years after all, so you should show some respect to him. Don't talk nonsense anymore."
The fat man curled his lips, nodded and said nothing more.
Zhang Hao looked at the fortune teller again and continued, "But he didn't give me the key."
When the fortune teller heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Hao again and said earnestly: "If you don't mind, I am willing to bring the key to you!"
Fatty Wang and Hao Xie looked at each other and muttered to themselves: Is there such a good thing? This fortune teller is quite sensible. Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said, "I will consider your return to the world, but not now."
Zhang Hao did not give an immediate answer, because he knew that since the treasure was in his hands, the key was not so urgent. At this moment, he was more concerned about the situation in Yin City.
"There are still some matters waiting to be dealt with in the underworld, and I am short of manpower." He spoke slowly, his eyes deep, "I will assign some tasks to you. If you can complete them successfully, I will help you return to the world of the living."
When the fortune teller heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement, and he kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Governor! If you can help me return to life, this secret will be meaningless to me. In fact, the key is hidden on the dragon eye in the Sanjia Mountain Basin. Since you have obtained the wooden box, you must also know the dragon coffin suppressed on the dragon eye? The secret of the key is in that dragon coffin."
He paused, then continued: "However, although I know about this, I am not the only one who knows about it." (End of this chapter)
