The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 514

And in the center of the square on the ground, a altar was built.There is something enshrined on the altar, which seems to be a stone sculpture.

In this space, there is nothing else.We naturally focused our attention on the stone carving.

Our three diving lights illuminate the stone sculpture together.

The size of the stone carving is not very large, and it is about the size of a rabbit.Originally, I thought it should be a statue of a god, but when I looked closely, I found that the statue was actually an animal.The two front legs are standing, the hind legs are bent, the head is flat, the eyes are protruding, and the long tail is dragging.The mouth is also flat, with a gap in the middle.

Under the animal statue, there is a stone base.

Pang Haihai was surprised when he saw it: "Why is there a toad here?"

I took a closer look, and apart from the long tail, the other features really looked like a toad.

The third uncle glared at Pang Dahai: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is a cricket. I searched hard on the bridge, but I didn't expect it to be at the bottom of the water. I said it's because of the bridge. The cockroach can suppress water."

It turns out that the enshrined above is actually an earthworm. According to the third uncle, it should have been built when the bridge was built during the Yongzheng period.Then this space should have existed 300 years ago.

The third uncle walked back to the stone wall, touched the wall, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be inscriptions written on it. And the inscriptions here can summon ghost beasts."

"The ghost beast? The old horse said that the ghost beast is a prehistoric creature."

"That's right. Then it's all on the right track. That Puff Beast should have been summoned by Yin Wen. Then it was occupied by Qiao Ling." Third Uncle said.

I questioned: "But there are more than one kind of prehistoric creatures, right? Why can this Pyofuron continue to survive and go outside?"

The third uncle explained: "Do you still remember the dead bones that the old horse took away? He said it was a kind of fossil. I guess there were already fossils of the skeletal beasts here, and then the Yinwen summoned the real scorpion beasts." .The fusion of soul and flesh and bone produces a kind of Pavlomon which is different from other pluto beasts. We cannot see other pluto beasts. But this kind of puff fur beasts with bones can be seen by our naked eyes. See, it can provide a body for Qiao Ling."

"Then someone must read the inscription? Who read the inscription and summoned the beast?"

"The Yin script is for the dead. The few living people who know the Yin script are just a different kind. I miss the Yin script, not necessarily the living people, it should be the water zombies."

"Did the water zombie read the inscription, thus attracting the bifurcation beast, and the bifurcation beast was taken over by the bridge spirit?"

The third uncle nodded, staring at the stone platform and shaking his head repeatedly: "I guess so. But these are not important now. There were originally six water zombies, but they are gone now. What I care most about is being taken away by the fire soul that thing."

I looked left and right, and it seemed that there was nothing of value here except the statue of the cockroach on the altar.

"Third uncle, are you so sure that Huohun took what we wanted?"

The third uncle smiled wryly, pointed to the base of the cockroach statue, and said, "If you don't believe me, look at the base, there should be written records on it."

I took the diving light, got closer, and looked at the base, and sure enough, there were writings on it.

I carefully identified and read out word by word.

The written records are all awkward ancient prose, but fortunately the meaning is not difficult to understand.

The first text said that there were frequent floods in the local area at that time. At that time, Emperor Yongzheng sent a water conservancy minister named Yang Zixu to control the floods.That Yang Zixu is very capable, and he managed the flood well.And prepare to build a bridge on the river, and to the imperial court, request for approval.At that time, the artist was also invited to draw a few bridge samples and submit them here.In today's words, these bridge samples should be renderings.

After seeing the renderings, Emperor Yongzheng liked the scenery on the banks of the Jie River and the bridge very much.He also selected a bridge sample, named it Liuyu Bridge, and personally inscribed the words Liuyu Range Rover.He also gave Yang Zixu a big reward and ordered Yang Zixu to personally supervise the bridge construction project.

The bridge that was chosen is the current Liuyu Bridge.Yang Zixu received the emperor's order and began to build the bridge.Yang Zixu has managed the Mustard River for many years, and he knows the river and waterways quite well. He knows that there is an undercurrent under the water, forming a natural space.Therefore, in order to ensure that the water of the Mustard River would never be in trouble, he set up a palace of earthworms and a statue of earthworms in that hidden hole.And once again went to the imperial court to ask the emperor to give the king's money to suppress the river demon.

This court discussion was opposed by many ministers.It is said that the emperor and the king's money represent the unity of the dynasty and must not be separated.But Yang Zixu insisted on reasoning, saying that the earthworm is the nine sons of the dragon, the emperor is the emperor of the ninety-five, and he is the son of the real dragon.It's only natural to give money to the prince.In order to protect the people in the Jiehe River from being disturbed by the flood, it is a blessing to benefit the people to give the king's money.

Emperor Yongzheng weighed the pros and cons and felt that it was all reasonable, so he bestowed the emperor Shunzhi's royal money, Shunzhi Tongbao, enshrined in the palace, and put the king's money in the mouth of the cockroach statue.

Only after reading the text did I know that Emperor Yongzheng did not come to Liuyu Bridge in person.Moreover, the earthworm palace under the Mustard River was built by a man named Yang Zixu.What's more, there is really a king coin in this cockroach palace, but it is not Yongzheng Tongbao, but Shunzhi Tongbao.

This record should be true, because Yongzheng Tongbao is already in our hands.It is impossible for another Yongzheng Tongbao to appear here.

The third uncle pointed to the mouth of the cockroach and said: "Look, there should be a copper coin in the mouth of this cockroach. If the words on the stone statue are true, this copper coin should be given by Emperor Yongzheng." Shunzhi Tongbao's Wangqian. We were so close to this Five Emperors' Wangqian, and now we are so far away."

I took a closer look, and there was indeed a gap in the mouth of the cricket.If it holds copper coins in its mouth, it looks a bit like the golden toad that we often see.That kind of golden toad also has a copper coin that symbolizes wealth in its mouth.

Although none of us have seen the five emperors' coins of Shunzhi Tongbao, I believe in the third uncle, and I even believe in the written records on the base of the stone statue.

The third uncle looked annoyed, and finally took out an ancient copper coin that he usually carried, stuffed it into the mouth of the cricket, and said: "Originally, the cricket has the king's coin of Shunzhi Tongbao in its mouth, so it can be calmed down." The water of the mustard river has not been flooded for at least 500 years. But now the royal money of Shunzhi Tongbao has been taken away, and only the stone statue of the cockroach is left. I am afraid that the water of the mustard river cannot be restrained. I use this Ordinary ancient coins can only barely last ten years. I hope we can find the Shunzhi Tongbao and return the river bottom cockroach in these ten years. Otherwise, there will be floods..."
