Chapter 243 Raising the coffin to make a fortune
When it was dawn, Aning called a tugboat and dragged the salvage boat to the shore. Several boatmen, who were in danger of dying, ran away without looking back.

The bodies of the three boatmen on board were transported away, and Aning rushed back to the company to deal with the matter.

As for the boatman who fell into the river, he never saw the body, and no one dared to go down to salvage it.

"I said, this ghost cave is very evil, should we explore it?" Fatty Wang asked from the side.

"We must find out the reason for the curse, and I will go down to find out later." I replied in a deep voice.

We discussed it, and felt that the biggest threat to exploring the cave was the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, so we decided to get a few bags of lime powder to completely remove the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river.

I made a phone call to Aning, and not long after, someone delivered more than ten bags of lime powder, which were all poured into the river.

The muddy river water was constantly bubbling, and large pieces of withered aquatic plants floated up, among which were some dead fish and shrimp.

After more than an hour, the lime poured into the river was washed away by the flowing water, and the water became clearer.

I was wearing diving equipment, and Zhen Qingyi stood aside with concern, telling me to be careful.

"I'll go down with you, I have a guide." Ghost Detective Xu put on his equipment and walked over.

I made a gesture of caution, walked slowly into the river, and dived into the river again. There were withered aquatic plants everywhere at the bottom of the river. These evil plants had lost their vitality.

A rotting corpse, bound by water plants at the bottom of the river, was the boatman who fell into the water last night, and his body had been scorched by lime powder to a disfigured state.

I swam over, cut off the water plants on the opponent's body with the Gouyu sword, and pulled the body to swim to the surface of the water.

A figure swam over, it was Ghost Detective Xu, and together with me, he dragged the body to the shore.

"Fatty, come and give me a hand." I yelled with half of my body out of the water.

When Fatty Wang saw the rotten corpse, he hesitated, and reluctantly walked over, and together with us, he pulled the corpse up.

"Fatty, read the "Saving the Human Sutra" a few more times to help this brother reincarnate earlier." I looked emotional.

There is only so much we can do for each other since death cannot be brought back to life.

After handing over the body to Fatty Wang, Ghost Detective Xu and I dived into the water again and swam all the way to the entrance of the cave. Everything was relatively smooth and there was no disturbance from aquatic plants.

The aquatic plants around the hole curled up into a ball, turned black, lost their vitality, and turned into a pile of dead objects.

I slowly swam over there, the inside of the cave was pitch black, Ghost Detective Xu was behind, and turned on the bright flashlight.

Thinking of those blood-red eyes in the cave, I took out the soul jade bell and stared at it warily.

It was quiet inside, and by the light of the flashlight, one could see large groups of withered water plants, but those blood-red eyes had disappeared.

I turned around, communicated with Ghost Detective Xu with hand gestures, and cautiously swam towards the cave.

The entrance of the cave is not very big, just enough for one person to pass through. I cut off the group of withered aquatic plants with the Gouyu sword, and got in.

Ghost Detective Xu is behind, using a strong flashlight to illuminate me.

I held the Gouyu sword tightly and looked around cautiously. I saw a dry human head growing on the stone wall, and my heart suddenly rose.

Naturally, it is impossible for a human head to grow out of the stone. The reason why there is a human head exposed on the stone wall is that someone used some means to seal the person's body inside the stone wall.

The head was covered with aquatic plants. The strange plants we encountered actually grew from the dead man's head.

I squinted my eyes and looked around. There are many heads like this on the stone wall. They look old and rotten.

"Grass grows on the head, it's fierce!"

A sentence from the Sutra of Broken Physiognomy inexplicably popped into my mind.

Because of the incompleteness of the scriptures, there is no specific explanation for this sentence, and I don't know if it is referring to the current situation.

I was wary and stared at these heads. Neither Mr. Wang nor Aning had mentioned this weird situation, and I don't know if they didn't encounter it, or they deliberately concealed it.

Fortunately, the aquatic plants on those heads have withered. It seems that our move of pouring lime powder is more sensible, and it has avoided a big trouble invisibly.

Cautiously, I explored the depths of the cave. The flashlight beam behind me was constantly advancing, and Ghost Detective Xu should have followed closely behind.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when I saw a human head on one of the stone walls, it moved a bit.

I was concentrating on my guard when someone touched my shoulder, I turned my head suddenly, and saw Ghost Detective Xu pointing to the back with a nervous expression on his face.

A kind of slender water snake unexpectedly swam out from the mouths of those people, twisted its body, and swam towards us.

My scalp was numb, looking at these chopstick-thick water snakes with dark bodies, I subconsciously took a step back.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a black figure rushing over, opening its mouth to bite my face, I was so frightened that I quickly leaned over to avoid it.

Seeing the slender water snake rushing towards me again with a bow and a flick, it subconsciously raised its arm and swung the jade sword in its hand.

The slender water snake was chopped into two pieces, and the broken body was still twisting continuously. While looking at it, it was disgusting and frightening at the same time.

Ghost Detective Xu took out a dagger and kept waving it to prevent the water snakes from approaching. However, there was resistance in the water, and his movements were obviously not as fast as the water snakes.

I saw a water snake, bypassing the dagger wielded by Ghost Detective Xu, and biting towards his neck, I quickly pulled him back a step.

The water snake was extremely nimble, after flying into the air, it bent and flicked, and was about to attack again, but Ghost Tan Xu immediately cut it off with a dagger.

Suddenly, my eyelids twitched sharply, and the hidden dragon tattoo on my back warned me. I turned around reflexively, and saw a slender water snake scurrying towards me silently.

Fortunately, I discovered it early, and I got rid of that water snake, but more and more water snakes were swimming in all directions, Ghost Detective Xu and I could only back to back, covering each other.

When I dealt with a water snake with all my strength, I didn't notice another sneak attack next to it. I accidentally bit my arm. Fortunately, the water was hard on the skin. The water snake was small and the teeth didn't penetrate, but even so, I was scared I'm choked up.

The largest of these snakes are just a little longer than chopsticks, and while their small size gives them nimble speed, it also means they don't have long teeth.

We carefully protected the exposed skin, and those water snakes couldn't do anything to us for a while.

Taking advantage of the time when I cleaned up a water snake, I signaled Ghost Detective Xu not to stay here.

It may be that the word "big ominous" in the scriptures has left a shadow in my heart. I feel that those heads on the stone wall may hide some evil, otherwise, with these water snakes, they would not be able to reach the "big ominous" Degree.

In the mentality of venting my anger, I kicked a head on the stone wall. The head broke off and was washed aside by the current. A green liquid seeped out from the broken place.

Although I don't know what the liquid is, but just looking at the color of the thing, I know it's not a good idea.

We ignored the few water snakes left behind, speeded up and swam deep into the cave.

After advancing for a certain distance, the stalactite landform can already be seen, and the cave began to become more spacious.

The few little snakes chasing after me were dealt with by ghost detective Xu and I.

At this time, the skulls on the wall over there suddenly broke one by one, and a large stream of green liquid flowed out, polluting the nearby river.

Rejoice flashed in my heart, fortunately I left early, otherwise we would also be affected.

Seeing the polluted water slowly moving towards this side, I turned around and swam forward quickly.

Ghost Detective Xu has been following closely behind, shining his flashlight on the surroundings. There seems to be an underground river in front of him. From there, we can go ashore without soaking in the water.

Climbing to the shore in the cave, I sat on the ground, looked up and looked around, and lamented the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

"Who would have thought that there would be such a big cave right under our feet." Ghost detective Xu ripped off the oxygen mask and sighed.

"Come on, let's continue to explore forward." I took a break, took off my flippers, and walked forward.

I don't know how long the underground river on the side is. One end is connected to the Yellow River, but the other end leads to nowhere.

"Look, is the coffin in front of you filled with gold?" Ghost Detective Xu said excitedly, patted my arm, and pointed forward.

I squinted my eyes and saw a coffin was padded with stones and suspended on the ground. It was filled with gold and silver, and even piled up and scattered around.

The position of the coffin was a bit abrupt, and my heart moved, and I remembered a kind of feng shui evil situation recorded in the Broken Xiangjing.

Ghost Detective Xu was a little excited, and was about to walk there, but I grabbed him and looked at me with some puzzlement.

"Those gold and silver are life-buyers, so don't touch them." I said in a deep voice.

Ghost Detective Xu was a little puzzled, saying that the gold and silver are ownerless, since we discovered them, they belong to us, and there is nothing that cannot be touched.

"Have you ever thought about a question, the position of the coffin is so conspicuous, we are not the first to enter the cave, why didn't the people who entered the cave take away the gold and silver?" I stared at Ghost Detective Xu and said.

Ghost detective Xu froze for a moment, stared blankly at the pile of gold and silver in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and asked me what I said in it.

I pointed to a few dead bones by the wall, and said meaningfully, those were the people who moved gold and silver and then bought their lives.

The few dead bones by the wall are very inconspicuous and dusty. If I hadn't reminded them, Ghost Detective Xu would not have noticed.

I stared at the coffin in front of me and explained to Ghost Detective Xu the way of this evil Feng Shui bureau.

This feng shui evil situation has a very auspicious name, which is Sheng Coffin and Fa Cai.

But if you touch that coffin and make money inside, you will die suddenly within a quarter of an hour, because that coffin was cursed by a secret method.

After explaining everything to Ghost Detective Xu, I frowned subconsciously. What I saw and heard since I entered the cave was obviously different from what Mr. Wang dictated. What is going on?
