There are two mother rivers in the country, which gave birth to the splendid civilization of the nation.
the Yangtze River in the south,
and the Yellow River in the north.
The activities of the ancestors for thousands of years have cast many unknowns and mysteries on these two mother rivers, and also gave birth to many bizarre stories.
Just like the Yellow River, for example, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the carp essence of the Yellow River is more than ten meters long, and the turtle essence is as huge as a car.
It is said that in ancient times, there were often strange incidents in which a boat ran into a rock and capsized for no reason, and all the people on the boat disappeared. This is the encounter with carps and turtles in the Yellow River, because these two things are the easiest to become spirits and become river gods.
There are legends of the living, and legends of the dead.
No one knows how many weird things there are under the Yellow River. The Yellow River is prone to bursting embankments and causing floods. It's not sure what to fish out.
There are sarcophagi, stone cattle, and dragon heads.
There are sacrifices to the dragon king and the god of the river who do not rot.
There are also all kinds of weird pottery pots, such as pottery pots with half a human face, small doll sea bowls without heads, and so on.
The above information is Fang Zheng's special homework before this trip, and various legends about the Yellow River that he found on the Internet.
If this place is really near the mouth of the Yellow River, Fangzheng can't help but think of an ancient profession when he meets two strange uncles and nephews who are holding a boat to salvage dead souls here.
Corpse man.
And in this industry, the Yellow River corpse hunter is the most famous.
Corpse fishers are also called water ghosts, which means a profession that specializes in dealing with dirty things in the water, and is one of the famous evil professions in ancient times.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, people who deal with corpses all day long are evil enough.
But people had to deal with the corpse hunters, because too many people drowned in the Yellow River. This mother river not only gave birth to the civilization of the Yellow River Basin, but also caused floods in the lower reaches during the rainy season.
That's why it is said that the Yellow River Corpse Collector is the most famous in the industry.
Facing the other party's apology, Mr. Fu nodded slightly and continued to punting on the road.
Only the young man touched the back of his head in dissatisfaction, trying to retort stubbornly, but after being glared at by the uncle he was talking about, his words were choked back, and he shrank his neck, not daring to provoke his uncle to get angry.
…
Fangzheng was curious all the way as he went deeper into the Yellow River Basin.
The two Yellow River corpse hunters he met earlier made him think of another thing.
There have always been rumors among the people that there are two kinds of corpses that people in the Yellow River are most afraid of encountering. These two kinds of corpses will not be fished even if they are killed, even if they are given more money.
One is a young girl in bloom, and the other is a straight corpse.
Because when a person drowns, the man looks down on the woman, and the young girl drowns the person who either commits suicide for love or dies a tragic death, so her eyes are wide open after she dies, and she died on her back. Scared, scared.
The second type of straight corpse refers to a corpse whose head and feet are soaked, only the hair floating on the water surface. There are rumors that when seeing this kind of corpse with only hair floating, the person who retrieved the corpse immediately turned around and left. Don’t hesitate. This kind of straight corpse is called a person who died unjustly or violently. They only pick up the corpse and do not avenge the ghost on behalf of the ghost.
In fact, there are many seemingly unreasonable things in this world, and sometimes they may not all be ghosts and gods, but more often people scare themselves.
Regarding these two kinds of corpses, science has already given an explanation. Why do men lean up and women face up after drowning in water? It is because women’s pelvis is wider than men’s, and men’s muscle density is higher than fat, while young women just On the contrary, the buoyancy of the young female corpse is greater than that of the male corpse.
This resulted in the horrific face-up pose of the young woman as she drowned.
The reason why men face down after death, with hands and feet bent into a tree-hugging shape, is because most of the muscles of adult men are concentrated in the hands, feet, chest, and narrow pelvis.
As for the second kind of folks, they dare not salvage even if they are given 100,000 yuan. The most perverted straight corpse of "not avenging the ghosts" has long been explained scientifically.
If you encounter a straight corpse, a corpse with only hair floating on its head and feet in the water, you must run quickly. If you run slowly, you may not even be able to run with a boat.
Because under the feet of such a corpse, there must be a whirlpool, and the whirlpool sucks the corpse, so that only human hair floats up.
The most dangerous thing underwater is to encounter undercurrents or whirlpools. Even people with good water skills will drown if they are sucked by the whirlpools.
In the past, due to insufficient education, some scientific events could not be explained, so the theory of ghosts and gods gradually came into being based on rumors.
The corpse hunters mentioned above are not real corpse hunters. At best, they are corpse hunters who comeo as fishermen. During the rainy season, they comeo as corpse hunters. After the rainy season, they return to their old profession.
The real corpse hunter does not believe in ghosts and gods.
I heard that real corpse hunters grew up eating special foods, and their flesh and blood are full of death, so they are not afraid of ghosts and gods.
Because in the eyes of the ghosts, the corpse-hunter is just a corpse, and ghosts without yang energy cannot find the corpse-hunter.
The reason why Fangzheng is so familiar with the corpse hunter is because he thought of the corpse hunter he had rescued in Longtouhu Village back then.
I don't know what happened to the corpse hunter
After entering the Yellow River Basin, the expression on Fang Zheng's face became serious.
The mountain village where Li Sishui was located was getting closer and closer.
But at this time, an accident happened, and the boat stopped in the river.
Mr. Fu couldn't move forward even with a pole.
Like something under the boat holding the boat.
Fangzheng hurriedly probed the bottom of the water, and saw faces that were swollen, pale, and unrepentant after death, densely surrounded the bottom of the boat, and pairs of wet arms stretched out of the water , the void holds the bottom of the boat, no wonder the boat can't go.
"It's a corpse boat."
This time it was Mr. Fu who spoke.
Corpse hug ship? Fangzheng looked thoughtfully, and nodded thoughtfully. The things under the water are the most vicious after death. Because the water is cloudy, people of the older generation often say that drowned people must find a surrogate to go ashore to reincarnate.
But Fang Zheng showed no fear, on the contrary, he was eager to try and excited, and was about to make a move, but at this moment, there was a sudden noise from the bottom of the water, and a huge stone statue of a goddess rose from the bottom of the river.
Fangzheng looked a little shocked, watching the sudden change in front of him.
The statue of the goddess pulled up from the bottom of the river, holding the boat surrounded by corpses with a single palm, the ordinary soul energy from the water ghost +1, +1, +1... Seven wisps of soul energy are absorbed in an instant.
Those ghosts with corpses hugging the boat were directly crushed by the huge single palm of the goddess statue, and the boat was held in mid-air by the goddess statue's single palm, sent more than ten meters away, and then gently lowered into the river again.
Then, under Fangzheng's amazed gaze, boom! Boom!
The waves in the Yellow River were tumbling, stirring up the heaven and the earth. The statue of the Goddess landed on the shore, where she sat down and turned into a temple, suppressing on both sides of the Yellow River.
Then a woman in white came out of the temple. I don't know if it was Fang Zheng's illusion. That woman... seemed to be nodded by Mr. Chaofu...
