Chapter 114 Breakthrough
——Yuan Tiandao lit three incense sticks on the altar at that time. The disciples who came out of the horse lit incense were asking the immortal to be on their body. Yuan Tiandao started another spiritual consciousness. He wanted to find out who the woman who made a giggle in the middle of the night! As a result, as soon as the incense was lit, the laughter suddenly appeared again.
“Great.”
Yuan Tiandao looked at the direction where the three cigarettes drifted, walked over and kicked open one of the coffins. The coffin itself was extremely decayed. After Yuan Tiandao kicked it away, the body wrapped in silk cloth rolled down. The body was already covered with black hair. A pair of eyes without pupils stared at Yuan Tiandao and made a giggle that was extremely creepy. It seemed that this was a corpse of the transformed Yellow River Queen.
Yuan Tiandao naturally would not be afraid of such a thing that looked like a zombie. He rushed over and jumped high, then twisted the head of the Yellow River Empress off. Then Yuan Tiandao looked around with caution. At this moment, Yuan Tiandao suddenly felt a creepy feeling. He looked back and saw that the three incense he placed in the middle of the altar had been destroyed.
If the fragrance is destroyed, it means that this matter is not something that Yuan Tiandao can do. If it is normal, Yuan Tiandao should kneel down and kowtow three times and then retreat. However, Yuan Tiandao could not leave at this time. He took two steps back and retreated to the sarcophagus and looked around. At this time, he found that the coffins of the Yellow River Empress remaining around the sarcophagus began to shake.
In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen corpses of the transformed "Yellow River Queen" popped out of the dozen coffins. Yuan Tiandao suddenly fell into the encirclement of zombies, but Yuan Tiandao was still not afraid at this time. These zombies just looked a little terrifying. In Yuan Tiandao's eyes, they were just dry bones with some flesh on their bodies. As long as they twisted their heads, they could not die anymore. Yuan Tiandao rushed over and solved these things in a few seconds, and the wreckage was scattered on the ground.
"What else can I do? Use it!" The Yellow River Empress easily solved the problem and greatly increased Yuan Tiandao's confidence. He shouted at the sarcophagus.
Just as Yuan Tiandao finished speaking, the sarcophagus seemed to be angry with his provocation, and the sarcophagus began to shake violently. Then the sarcophagus began to layer. Yuan Tiandao and his men couldn't find the traces on the coffin, thinking that the sarcophagus was a complete stone. Now the traces on the sarcophagus finally appeared, and a dazzling light burst out from it. Through this light, Yuan Tiandao saw an almost dry hand, dragging the stone coffin board to come out of the coffin.
Yuan Tiandao stared at the coffin. At this time, he felt very stressed, and he felt that what was going to come out of the sarcophagus was like a great demon king. Yuan Tiandao was unable to get rid of the tiger at this time. On the one hand, he wanted to see what was in the sarcophagus, but on the other hand, he was also worried that he would not be the opponent of the sarcophagus. At this moment, a footstep suddenly sounded from far to near. Yuan Tiandao looked back and saw the foolish woman rushing towards him like crazy. After rushing over, the foolish woman knelt in front of the coffin and kept kowtowing on the ground, kowtowing while whining, and the open coffin slowly closed as the fool's woman kowtowed.
Yuan Tiandao stood there for a while and didn't know what to do. He could feel that the foolish woman was here to save him, but he also wanted to see what was in the coffin. Just as Yuan Tiandao was hesitating, the foolish woman turned around and shook her head desperately at him. Yuan Tiandao saw the foolish woman kowtowing and his face was covered with blood. Seeing the foolish woman like this, Yuan Tiandao felt unbearable. He thought of Xiao Zhang. When the matter was not clear, he didn't want others to die because of his recklessness.
"Okay. I'll go." Yuan Tiandao said.
After saying that, Yuan Tiandao slowly retreated, got off the altar and left the village. After returning to the tent, Yuan Tiandao felt unable to calm down for a long time. After waiting for a while, Yuan Tiandao began to worry about the foolish woman. Not to mention that the foolish woman entered the village to save him, he could not let her have an accident. That foolish woman was also an important clue to this underwater temple. Yuan Tiandao stood up and entered the village again. Apart from a distance, Yuan Tiandao saw the gecko man he saw underwater on the altar, holding the foolish woman in his arms and walking towards the water.
Yuan Tiandao began to speed up. After seeing Yuan Tiandao, the gecko man looked at Yuan Tiandao resentfully and turned around and walked away. However, his speed on the ground was obviously not as fast as underwater. Yuan Tiandao rushed over and grabbed the dagger and stabbed the gecko man. The gecko man might be very fast underwater, but his movements on the ground were very clumsy. He could not be Yuan Tiandao's opponent. After being stabbed by Yuan Tiandao a few times, he put down the fool's woman and stared at Yuan Tiandao and got into the dry bone. Yuan Tiandao did not pursue him deeply. She picked up the fool's woman and returned to the camp to bandage her wounds. She waited until the fool's woman woke up the next day. She did not bring surprise to Yuan Tiandao, but was still as stupid as usual.
However, on the next day, things finally turned around. Yuan Tiandao sent a team member to investigate the old mute man back and brought back a person. This man claimed to be the younger brother of the old mute man. Seeing that this man was dressed as an honest farmer, he looked at Yuan Tiandao and the others with a look in timid eyes. Yuan Tiandao was about to see him, the team member said to Yuan Tiandao: "Captain, I inquired about the nearby villages. They all knew the old mute man and the fool woman brought by the old mute man, but they didn't know the origin of these two people, just thought they were fleeing the famine. Moreover, the old mute man came here about three months ago. I calculated the days. Three months ago, it was the transition of spring and summer, and the water level of the Yellow River had not yet reached so much."
"What do you mean is that the mute old man came here on purpose?" Yuan Tiandao asked.
The team member nodded and said, "He appeared at that time. After he appeared, he lived in this village without going anywhere else. It's hard not to doubt it."
"What you said makes sense." Yuan Tiandao nodded and said.
"And this guy is not reliable. When I first entered the village, he kept looking at me. Don't look honest, I asked. He is a famous second-rate man in the village. He usually does whatever he wants to eat. He told me that the old mute man is his brother. I asked the villagers and asked him, "This guy has a mute brother, and he has been dead for more than fifty years. He was only a teenager when he died. If he hadn't mentioned it, no one would have remembered that there was such a thing, but this guy insisted that he was his brother and said something that he had to see my leader. I think he was unreliable, but he didn't want to miss anything, so he brought it back to you." The team member said.
Yuan Tiandao nodded and walked to the man and said, "I am their leader, what do you have to say?"
"Are you keeping your word?" the man looked at Yuan Tiandao and asked.
"Forget it." Yuan Tiandao said.
"Let's get two white flour buns first," said the man.
"Captain, I think he just needs to be cleaned up!" the team member cursed angrily.
"Give him two steamed buns." Yuan Tiandao stopped the team members and said.
The team member took two steamed buns and threw them to him. He finished eating them voraciously, and then said, "Give me two more dollars."
"md! I've eaten Xiongxin and leopard's courage. I've come here to cheat me!" The team members were really angry this time.
"Give it to him!" Yuan Tiandao said.
The team member gave him two dollars angrily and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense later, how can you spit it out for me!"
The man received the money and thanked Yuan Tiandao for his gratitude. He said, "I have eaten the white buns and taken the money. I will say whatever I have. But I will first agree that I can't criticize me just because of what I said. Can you make the decision?"
"Yes, you say." Yuan Tiandao was particularly patient with this person, mainly because he wanted to find a breakthrough.
"That mute is my brother. He really died fifty or tens of years ago. My parents used to catch fish on the Yellow River when they were alive. Later, my brother had some strength and clamored to go down the river with his parents. My mother happened to be in poor health, so my parents went down the river to catch fish. One night they went down the river to get nets, and my father came back alone in the middle of the night. At that time, my father was wet and his face turned pale. My mother asked him what the boss was? My father said he was caught by the water ghost. My mother kept crying. My father was so annoyed that my father beat my mother and said that the water ghost was asking him for it.
If he doesn't push my brother into the water, he will die. I asked my father what happened. My father said he had encountered a corpse and carried the boat. As they walked, the boat suddenly couldn't move. He thought it was someone's net. When my father went into the water, he saw a corpse under the boat holding the boat. Everyone on the Yellow River knew that it was a water ghost blocking the road to ask for things. My father quickly threw fish and other things into the water, but the man refused. My father heard the man say in his ear that he wanted to eat people. My father had no choice but to throw my brother into the water and let him drag him away." The man said.
"Then did your father say that the water ghost who blocks the way to eat people is a male ghost or a female ghost?" Yuan Tiandao asked.
"My father said he was an empress." The man said.
"Captain, this person is talking nonsense. His brother has been dead for more than fifty years. How did he know that this mute is his brother who has been dead for more than fifty years? I think he is here to cheat money and eat!" said the team member.
"I haven't lie. I've seen this mute. He is my brother!" The man said unconvincedly.
"Oh?" Yuan Tiandao asked.
"My father beat my mother that night, and the next day my mother packed up and went back to her house. My father didn't dare to go down the river to catch ghosts alone, so he ran out to drink and leave me alone at home. As a result, my brother went home that night. He was covered in stone, his nostrils, ears, eyes, mouth and mouth. I knew he must have died at a glance, but I couldn't be afraid of being my brother. I hugged him and cried. He told me that the Empress Huanghe saw that he was pitiful and didn't eat him, but instead took him as a disciple. Now they are living in the Dragon Prince's Dragon Palace under the water. He also told me that the Empress said that she would let him come back to reunite with us when she had the chance." The man said.
"Isn't your brother a mute? You can talk to you when you die?!" the team member asked.
"I admit that I had a dream that night. My brother told me about this. But in the dream, my brother left me with my brother's object and said that I could burn incense for this thing to protect my father's safety on the water. That thing is a bronze man, looking like a gecko. My brother said that it was the Dragon Prince of the Yellow River. After I woke up, I grabbed the thing in my hand. What do you say about this? Can it be a dream? My brother is back, and there was also, just three and a half months ago, my brother came back and brought a woman home to find me!" The man said unconvincedly.
