Chapter 81 Turtle Spirit Remains
"Storyteller?" When I heard this name, my first instinct was that this person should be like my grandfather and the bamboo stick man. He was not an ordinary person, or a strange person among the people.
As I expected, Er Pang and Liu Sa became respectful: "Are you the storyteller from the Nine-Level Thirteen Wonders?!"
The old police officer waved his hand: "Oh, don't make such an expression. The person you are talking about is probably my master. I am just lucky because of the influence of my ancestors. I don't deserve your respect."
At that time, we were eager to discuss things about the Minjiang River. The storyteller later told me about it in the car.
When I met Bamboo Stick Guest before, Er Pang and Liu Sa once told me about the three religions and nine streams in ancient times.
In modern history, there were once thirteen strange people belonging to different industries and schools who were active in many people's sights. It was not until the era entered a well-off period that their affairs were gradually forgotten.
To this day, most of the thirteen strange people are no longer known, and only a few are still hidden in the market.
Among them are the incense maker from my grandfather's lineage, the bamboo stick man who represents the beggars in the market, and this storyteller from the middle-class scholar lineage.
According to rumors, there was a storyteller during the Republic of China. He was the last Tanhua in the late Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing emperor abdicated, he lived on the streets and made a living by telling stories. This man was good at knowing the causes and consequences, full of knowledge, and a clever mouth that could tell the difference between yin and yang and reverse the situation.
Qiankun.
If the bamboo stick man is one of the thirteen wonders of the ear, then the storyteller is the one of the thirteen wonders of the mouth.
The Bamboo Stick Man was in charge of all the beggars in Guanzhong at that time, and he was well-informed and had many eyes and ears; the storyteller traveled all over the world with only his own feet and was familiar with all the strange things in the world. Even the Bamboo Stick Man could not tell the stories in Duiye Shihua.
Compare.
However, this legendary storyteller is obviously not as mysterious as the Bamboo Stick Man, and seems to be able to live forever. The old police officer today is just the disciple of the storyteller. The reason why he gave up his identity as a storyteller and came here to be a policeman
, entirely because of his passion for upholding justice.
It was only after he came here and took office that he realized the true meaning of what his master said about everything in the world, rarely going as planned.
The old police officer wanted to light a cigarette, but thinking that this was a hospital, he had to sigh: "To be honest, I have never done anything worthy of the title of 'storyteller' in most of my life, and I am really ashamed.
Fortunately, someone has given me a chance now."
I immediately asked him: "Is that my grandfather!"
"Ah - probably not. Although it has been many years, but when I saw him, he was still very young. Counting his age, at most he could be your father."
"My dad..." I remembered that my fifth uncle told me that my dad had an affair with a certain Qiang woman. Maybe it was really my dad. "Then what did he tell you?"
"I didn't say anything. I just said that if someone named Chen Siyu comes here to meddle in other people's business, let me help you." The old police officer clapped his hands and said, "Ah, by the way, I know someone who is traveling with me."
"who?"
"Like me, he is one of the Thirteen Wonders. He is nicknamed the Divine Counter."
I have never heard of this name, but it is certain that my grandfather and my father did not fight alone. Does that mean there are traitors around them?
"I know what you are thinking. In short, you should do the things in front of you first.
You, a bunch of rookies, can't get to where they are now."
"Is it that dangerous?"
"Ah~"
"I don't quite understand the difference between finding them early and finding them after following the route planned for us. This is not like playing games and upgrading equipment."
"It seems you don't know anything." The old police officer made that disgusting voice again and scratched his head without motivation, "Forget it, let me show you my professionalism as a storyteller.
Please tell me about Yanwei Gu.
It is said that the Yanwei Gu is not an ordinary product. It is rumored that it was refined by the ancient Shu people using the Miao Gu technique and the Ba people's magic technique. As long as the person affected by the Gu is still breathing, he can be brought back to life no matter how serious the injury is.
It’s just that every time the Yanwei Gu attacks, the muscles and bones are cut away. If it happens too many times, the person who is affected by the poison will eventually be reduced to a skeleton by the Yanwei Gu.”
I have basically experienced these effects, and more than once.
"Wait a minute, this is too contradictory. How is it possible to save people and kill people at the same time?" Liu Sa was puzzled.
"This judge has a good question. In fact, Yanwei Gu has the same effect as Bigu Dan. It both saves people and kills people. In fact, it is completely a process.
The real function of Yanwei Gu... you will know.
I only talk about removing the poison. In fact, there are two ways to remove the poison from the Yanwei Gu. One is to remove the poison according to the method of refining the poison. This method is just a simple removal of the poison. Little brother, you are now terminally ill and this method is no longer effective. Even if it is solved,
, you are also a broken body now and want to find your grandfather.
That’s hard to reach the sky.”
"Then what should we do? What is the other way? Oh, don't show off, I'm scared to death!" said the second fat man.
"The other kind is up to you to find out for yourself. I don't know. Even if I know, I can't tell you."
"What? It's like saying nothing."
The storyteller looked at Ah Hui and said, "You know nothing. The real magic of Yanwei Gu is that when the poison is truly dissipated, you can make your body different from ordinary people's, and any wounds you inflict will be healed instantly, and you will be immune to all poisons."
"
"So awesome!?" We all said in unison.
"So, this is your test, and it is also your destiny." After saying that, the old police officer's voice immediately dropped. I thought he was possessed by a ghost just now.
"Anyway, that's it."
"Did you just bump into a customer? Suddenly you were energetic and then suddenly depressed." I complained to him.
"Ah, okay, that's all I can help you. Oh, by the way, you can go into the water and take a look. After all, the monster came out of the water. The bronzes and poisonous insects it eats should also come from the water.
." The old police officer waved and left.
"Xianyu, you'd better not..."
"I have to go." I interrupted Erpang's dissuasion, and then I started to take off the bandages on my body.
They were shocked by my actions, but the bandage wrapped around my body fell off easily, and there was still a layer of dead skin stuck to the bandage.
I stood up immediately and jumped up. In fact, every bone in my body was aching. This time when the Yanwei Gu attacked, the numbness I felt in the past was very weak, and what was more serious was the pain.
In the past, Yanwei Gu attacks were like scratching on the nails, and there was no serious pain. But this time, it was like Guan Yunchang scraping the bones to treat the poison without anesthesia, and the pain was excruciating.
But in order for Erpang and the others to agree to let me go into the water with them, I had to endure the pain.
Fortunately, the hospital equipment could not detect anything wrong. It only said that the platelet index in my body was weaker than before, but my metabolism was relatively accelerated.
But being able to be cured so quickly can be regarded as a medical miracle.
Before leaving, the doctor stopped me: "Chen Siyu, you have to pay attention."
I was stunned.
"Use less." He said two words meaningfully.
I knew that the attending doctor was not simple, but I didn't dare to ask any more questions, so I nodded and chased him out.
We return to the shore.
Because we hunt water monsters, people no longer need to be afraid of water monsters.
But they had been performing human sacrifices before, and when they suddenly stopped, the atmosphere in the village seemed strange.
In order to save unnecessary trouble, we secretly took the equipment in the car and prepared to dive.
Shang Qingyun is not here this time. We must be careful about everything.
We dived into the river again. This time Erpang had a long memory and stopped us when he saw an underwater whirlpool.
First, he fired two shots into the vortex to confirm safety, and then took the lead and dived into the underwater vortex.
We already have the experience of entering the Eye of the Sea before, so this time it can be said that we are very familiar with it.
We passed through the eye of the sea easily, but this time what we saw was no longer the majestic Dragon Palace, nor the ancient city that had been sleeping for thousands of years as we imagined.
It's a desolate ruin.
From the broken stone pillars and dilapidated walls, I can basically tell that this should be a sacrificial palace from the Turtle Spirit era that sank into the river.
But soon, our new discoveries overturned my ideas.
In the sediment accumulated in the ruins under the eye of the sea, we found another bronze statue.
The pattern on it and its unique shape were instantly recognized by not only me but also Ah Hui.
"Ahhh! Little sir, it's that one! That one!"
"Which one?" Er Pang and Liu Sa were kept in the dark.
I briefly told them about the previous shipwreck, and introduced: "The picture here shows Dayu controlling the flood and subduing the dragon and the water monster Wuzhiqi. It is exactly the same as the bronze statue salvaged from the shipwreck."
I led three other people to excavate in the underwater mud for a long time, and each found a beast-shaped statue that was exactly the same as the one in the Temple of King Yu, as well as an iron sea-fixing needle.
It seems that this is the damaged Temple of King Yu.
The storyteller told me the story before. I'm afraid the truth is that the temple of King Yu was destroyed during the battle between the goddess and the demon, and the things in the temple were scattered everywhere.
But I still can't explain the reason for the formation of 108 Haizi.
But since this is the Temple of King Yu, why are there bronzes and pottery from the Turtle Ling Period?
Could it be said that when they came to Haiyan and saw the temple of King Yu, they occupied the mountain and became king?
But this is impossible. The temples of King Yu are all located in the eye of the sea. It is obvious that the utensils from the Turtle Ling era were later sunk into the river.
In addition, there are some contradictions that make me very concerned.
That means the Bieling Dynasty should be in Chengdu.
Legend has it that after the turtle spirit died, its body was left along the river in Chengdu. Du Yu fished it out, and the turtle spirit came back to life and helped Du Yu control the flood.
Later, Du Yu's Zen position was given to Turtle Ling, and his capital was also set near Chengdu.
In this case, why did the turtle spirit come to the Dujiangyan area north of Chengdu?
Moreover, judging from the content of their paintings, these utensils are in praise of the two emperors Du Yu and Bieling, which means they should have been made after Bieling became emperor. Otherwise, according to ancient rules, monarchs and ministers should not use the same utensils.
According to this theory, the flood had stopped at that time. However, the turtle spirit ran to the vicinity of Dujiangyan and accidentally sank the utensil into the eye of the sea. The purpose was definitely not simple, at least it was not a coincidence.
