The third child shuddered, and was unwilling to say anything more.
The sky suddenly darkened, the oldest ship owner looked up at the sky, put away his playing cards and said, "Go back too, the weather has changed, it's going to rain."
Mu Rong raised his head, and from nowhere came a black cloud that covered the sky and covered the sun. It was clearly afternoon, but it was more like dusk.
The air was sultry and humid, and the river water smelled fishy, which made people very uncomfortable.
The four of them were no longer in the mood to play, so they hired a car and headed home.
Sang Tong stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the gray sky outside, took out his mobile phone, and checked the real-time weather forecast of Guan'er Prefecture, and it showed: sunny.
Sang Tong's heart sank, and he murmured: "A natural phenomenon..."
She opened a black lockbox, took out a pair of tortoise shells and shook them.
Looking at the typed hexagram, Sang Tong's face became more and more gloomy: the hexagram of great evil.
Since she came into contact with the Dao method, she has played a total of three major ominous hexagrams.
The first time she was sent to southern Xinjiang to carry out a mission, ten people in the same group went, and only two came back alive.
The second time was when Dandan was kidnapped. Her senior sister shattered her primordial spirit, scattered her soul, and ended up burning her whole body's essence and blood.
This time, it's the third time.
Sang Tong felt two temples throbbing and tingling, and pressed his forehead with his hand.
"Senior Sister Tong."
Sang Tong turned her head, Su Sifang was holding a glass of water and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Sang Tong took the water glass and took a sip. The temperature was just right, and he took a big sip.
Her drinking habits are a bit special, she likes to drink slightly hot water, so that she can feel the flow of water, pass through the esophagus, and warm her heart.
The temperature of this glass of water was just right for her appetite. Sang Tong squinted her eyes, feeling the comfort brought by the hot water, and the pain eased.
"Don't worry, everything will work out."
Sang Tong turned his head and saw Su Sifang smiling, his eyes flickered.
This smile has a calming power.
The corners of Sang Tong's mouth couldn't help curling up, looking at the dense water vapor wafting from the cup, he asked, "What do you think about this?"
"I think we should find out the almanac on the day of the incident first, and then survey the terrain."
"You mean...?"
Su Sifang nodded, and Sang Tong dialed the woman's phone and asked for the exact time: the boy died five days ago, around four or five in the afternoon.
Sang Tong pinched his fingers and counted, and his face darkened: "Breaking the sun, a big bad day."
Su Sifang flicked the prayer beads: "Let me accompany you to survey the terrain."
"good."
Sang Tong asked Sang Yu and Mu Rong to stay in the hotel to rest, and went out with Su Sifang with the lockbox.
The moment he stepped out of the hotel entrance, it rained heavily, and the water droplets formed a water curtain, and the raindrops hit everywhere, making a crisp sound.
In the blink of an eye, the street in front of the hotel was empty.
Sang Tong looked up at the sky, gritted his teeth and said, "The more you don't let me go, the more I want to find out!"
Less than ten steps out of the hotel, the umbrellas on their heads were blown over, and Sang Tong simply threw away the umbrellas: "Go to the rain!"
They stood on the side of the road and waited for more than ten minutes, but there was not a single empty car.
Finally, a car came over, seeing their distressed appearance, kicked the accelerator and drove away, refusing to take the car!
Sang Tong looked at the taillights of the taxi, and took several deep breaths to control the swearing. If she fails at this juncture, something big will happen!
As a cultivator, Sang Tong has a pair of eyes to see the essence through phenomena. First, the river was cold and smelly, and now there was a vision from the sky. The pouring rain blocked her and Su Sifang's way, and everything was connected together. , is definitely not a coincidence.
The boy died at the time of breaking the sun, and his death would not rest in peace. Two days later, the boy's first seven will be born. According to the description of the third man who retrieved the corpse, if the first seven did not handle the matter well before the first seven, he would definitely die again! Even multiple lives!
Sang Tong said stubbornly: "Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, a motorcycle drove over.
The ugly group's delivery car stopped in front of them: "Xiao Sangtong."
"Zeng Tianhan?"
"What a coincidence, where are you going in such a heavy rain?"
"Okay, stop acting. The people who are traveling with me this time are not outsiders. I am going to survey the terrain at the scene of the incident."
"No, I brought a map, let's go back to the hotel."
After changing her clothes, Sang Tong rubbed her hair, glared at Zeng Tianhan, and said angrily, "You are really good at it!? You push such a difficult matter to me?"
Zeng Tianhan smiled: "I only have the Four-Pillar Immortal family, but the Liu family is missing. Among the five major families, except the Liu family, they are not good at water, and the family immortals do not cross the river. When I reach the Yelou River in Guanerzhou, I am already half a useless person." gone."
Sang Tong heard the clues, and asked: "Has there been any major incidents in the bureau recently?"
She has always wondered that Zeng Tianhan is mainly responsible for "animals" in the Northeast region and other supernatural events. According to Jiaxian Bujiang, his magic power will become weaker as he goes south. The north of Shanhaiguan is where Zeng Tianhan is like a fish in water!
The fact that the Bureau sent such a person to the bank of the Yelou River to carry out the task proved that the Bureau was really short of manpower.
Zeng Tianhan nodded, but Sang Tong didn't pursue the question, but turned around and asked about the brave boy.
Zeng Tianhan took out a map and laid it out: "The boy's name is Li Hanchu, and he died of injustice in Dapo Ri. Take a look at this map."
He pointed to a spot on the map, a circle was drawn where his finger was, and several others were marked as well.
"This is the place where Li Hanchu drowned. Look here, here, and here again."
Zeng Tianhan pointed to the three marks on the map in turn, and explained: "These three are ancient pagodas." He raised his head and stared straight at Sang Tong.
Sang Tong's temples were tingling again, and he let out an irritable "tsk", resting his forehead wearily.
Zeng Tianhan smiled and said: "Xiao Sangtong, seeing you in a very bad condition this time, could you be...?"
"Don't guess, I'm a little tired recently."
Murong looked at the map, a few words suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "Baota Town River Demon?"
Zeng Tianhan let out a "huh" and turned to look at Mu Rong: "Expert?"
Murong didn't expect that he was right when he said it casually, and asked in disbelief: "Am I right?"
Zeng Tianhan nodded: "The Yelou River will change its course every hundred years. The three places I just mentioned are all places where it used to flow. There is a tower in each place. These towers used to be built on the water. The side is used to suppress demons."
Sang Tong rubbed the center of his brows: "If it's the Yelou River Demon, there's nothing I can do to help you with this matter. I'm sorry Zeng Tianhan."
"Come on, little Sangtong, don't you like to slay demons and demons the most? How can you let go of such an ancient thing?"
A hint of anger flashed in Sang Tong's eyes, and he growled: "Don't provoke me! Do you think I don't know? The Yelou River Demon is a natural and unrivaled monster. No one knows how long it has lived. Why does the ancient pagoda exist? It is because no one has ever been able to subdue it, so they can only build towers to subdue it! The Yelou River demon likes to sleep, but every time he wakes up, he must manipulate the Yelou River to change its course. It is only recorded in the history books, Yelou Louhe has been diverted at least twenty times, once every hundred years on average. How old is this monster? It has been at least two thousand years! During this period, no one can subdue him. Me? I haven't lived enough!"
Zeng Tianhan showed embarrassment, and begged for mercy: "Little Sangtong, don't be angry, it's still not certain that Li Hanchu's death is related to the Yelou River Demon, right? But look, the distribution of pagodas by the river, this one is four hundred It was built years ago, and this one is closer. It was built by Emperor Xianfeng. This is the latest one. Lao Jiang secretly ordered people to repair it afterward. The Yelou River Demon lives everywhere in the Yelou River. According to the locations of these three towers , I deduce that the river demon should have been sleeping here for five hundred years. Li Hanchu's death was wronged, and he ran into "the right time, place, and people." The demon woke up early, my abilities are limited, and I have already reported to the bureau, but I really can't find any manpower, so please help me, if you don't care, it may cause a catastrophe on earth, I assure you, if This matter really involves the river demon, you should go home immediately, and I, Zeng Tianhan, will bear all the consequences on my own!"
After Zeng Tianhan finished speaking, he stood up and held up three fingers: "I, Zeng Tianhan, swear to the sky, if this matter is really caused by the Yelou River demon, Sang Tong can leave immediately, and all the consequences will be borne by me alone. If you break the oath... "
Sang Tong grabbed Zeng Tianhan's finger: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, even if it is really the Yelou River demon, since I, Sang Tong, have caught up, I will never let it go, the big deal..." is death That's all.
Murong suddenly said: "If a person's soul is captured by the Yelou River Demon, even the underworld will have no way to get it back. The Yelou River Demon is one of the few ancient monsters left in the world. Punishment, the Yelou River Demon escaped the catastrophe by relying on Yelou River's heaven-sent location, if it is really the Yelou River Demon, we alone are not enough to watch."
Sang Tong showed doubts: "Who did you listen to?"
Sang Tong also knew about the legend that Mu Rong said. In the Bureau of Special Events, there was an ancient book that had been lost for more than 800 years. It was the Yelou River Demon, but how did Murong know
Murong looked blank, apparently stunned by the question. She tried her best to remember, but she couldn't remember where she heard about it, so she could only reply vaguely: "It seems that Hao Jiefang mentioned it."
