The mound of dirt was like a hill, overgrown with weeds, flowers, and a few small birds jumping on it.

Ordinary people look at it, there is nothing wrong! But Zhou Fengchen doesn't feel normal when he looks at it, the river demon is a monster, and the one that can be turned into a human form is even more demonic, and the corpse is an evil thing after death, and it should be burned and buried, otherwise the evil qi will grow, the flowers and plants will not grow, and the insects will not stick, and what the Yuanzhi monk dealt with at the beginning was not right.

Now the appearance of this mound, it is obvious that there is nothing wrong, could it be that the corpse of the river demon is not in it? Resurrected from the dead?

Zhou Fengchen pointed to the mound and asked, "Are you sure that the river demon is buried here?"

Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Sure!" At that time, the whole village was buried together, everyone saw it, and there will be no mistake! ”

Zhou Fengchen said: "Then you help me find a shovel, and I'll take a look inside."

Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "The shovel has a ready-made one."

As he spoke, he ran under a wooden dock by the river and brought two shovels over.

Zhou Fengchen took a handful, asked him to stay away, and then went up to the mound and took out a compass from his leather bag, which was influenced by Zhang Shisan, and was made when he was idle in the first two months.

At that moment, he picked up the compass, set the direction of the five elements, picked up the shovel and excavated, dug more than ten pits in total, and then took out more than ten talismans from his bag and put them into the pits.

Finally, he jumped off the mound, pinched the seal with both hands, and recited the words in his mouth: "Xuan Eighteen, Five Elements Technique, fire gives birth to thick soil, urgent as order, urgent as law!" Open! ”

Rumble!

The whole mound exploded, the dirt splattered, and the birds flew away, revealing a large crater inside.

"Oh-"

Xiao Feng opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Fengchen, his face full of horror.

Zhou Fengchen had already walked to the edge of the pit at this time, and when he looked down, it was full of rotten sacks of sackcloth and dried dirt and blood rust, and there was not even a river demon bone.

"What's going on?" Zhou Fengchen pointed to the pit and asked, "Where is the corpse of the river demon?"

Xiao Feng came to look at it and was also surprised, "This, this...... I don't know! ”

Zhou Fengchen took a deep breath and looked at the big river next to him, "What's the name of this river?" ”

Xiaofeng swallowed his saliva tightly and said: "This river is called Tuojiang, it leads to the sea in the east and Anhui in the west, and we call this river Hulu River."

Zhou Fengchen nodded, pointed to a few small awning boats in the river, and said, "Can you rent a boat for me, I'll take a look on the river."

"No problem, it's all from our village!" Xiaofeng agreed, ran to the river, waved his hands and shouted, and soon several small canopy boats rowed over together.

The people on the boat all jumped onto the shore, thinking that something had happened, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong Xiaofeng?"

Xiaofeng pointed at Zhou Fengchen, "My old cousin wants to use the boat, and I will go back to drink at my brother's house." ”

A few men were quite polite, waved their hands and said, "It doesn't matter, the young man can use it as he pleases!"

"Thanks!" Zhou Fengchen smiled, jumped on one of the boats, picked up the oars and rowed towards the center of the river.

Several men on the shore felt strange and asked Xiaofeng: "Your old watch looks like a novice, what is he doing rowing into the river?"

Xiao Feng smiled dryly and said, "I haven't seen the river, go in and play."

A few men sneered, "This is really idle!" ”

After a while, Zhou Fengchen arrived in the middle of the river, put down the oars, straightened up, and looked around.

The river is very wide, and judging by the color of the water, it should be very deep, and the water is rippling and fishy, and there is nothing special about it.

He stretched out his hand to feel it, and the rain was much lighter, so he took out more than a dozen talismans and threw them out.

Whoosh whoosh ......

More than a dozen talismans flew in all directions against the wind, flying against the water, but they did not fall, and here he took out the compass again, and there were words in his mouth, "The five elements turn to gossip, Gengjin fixes the heart, feng shui seeks evil, and the demon soul appears in all directions, and the disease is sick!" ”

The compass pointer turned a few times, and then it didn't move, Zhou Fengchen couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

No? It's empty underwater! Why is that?

At this time, several men on the shore, including Xiao Feng, stared at the flying talismans in the center of the river, and their eyes were about to pop out.

"Holy!" A man said, "Xiaofeng, what are you doing with this old watch?"

Another man was also surprised and said, "How did he do it?" That papyrus doesn't fall into the water? ”

Xiao Feng was also very shocked in his heart, thinking of Zhou Fengchen's words, he hurriedly panicked, "My old watch is juggling, go into the river to practice." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man pointed to the heart of the river, "Wow! He took back the yellow paper again! ”

A few men looked, sure enough! Those flying "yellow papers" were taken back by Zhou Fengchen again.

After a while, Zhou Fengchen rowed the boat back to the shore, jumped off the boat and asked a few men, "You usually run boats on the river, have you encountered anything unusual?" ”

A few men shook their heads, a little confused, and asked what are you doing here? They all say no, we just catch a fish, occasionally transport goods, nothing unusual.

Zhou Fengchen sighed, rushed to the village with Xiaofeng, and asked halfway through, "You just said...... Xiao Yong came to dig this river demon grave to avenge his mother? ”

Xiaofeng said: "Yes, I dug for half a month, but when it was discovered, the village chief reprimanded him, and asked everyone to rebury the grave."

Zhou Fengchen nodded, "Take me to see Xiao Yong." ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "I can't see it, Xiao Yong went to work."

"Got a part-time job?" Zhou Fengchen frowned and asked, "What's that...... The village chief's Xiaojuan is at home, let's go meet her! ”

Xiaofeng still shook his head, "Xiaojuan also went to work!" ”

"They went?" Zhou Fengchen asked.

Xiaofeng said: "They went with four or five young men and girls in the village, and they went a year ago, and they haven't been back for years."

"Got it."

Zhou Fengchen nodded, he was entangled in his heart, and now it can be concluded that the "great general" must have something to do with this river demon, so he shot an arrow at the Yuanzhi monk in order to avenge the river demon.

But now that the corpse of the river demon is gone, there is no sneakiness in the village, there is no demon in the river, and the two people who are more or less connected with this matter have gone to work again.

What should I do? Heaven and earth are so big, where should I go to find the "great general"?

kept returning to Xiaofeng's house, Zhou Fengchen was still worried.

At this time, Xiaofeng's wife had already made breakfast, and the family of three accompanied Zhou Fengchen to eat, and Zhou Fengchen brought a bowl of white porridge to Monk Yuanzhi and poured it down.

After the meal, Zhou Fengchen rubbed the acupoints for the Yuanzhi monk for a while, and prescribed a few Chinese herbs to nourish the mind and remove pollution, so that Xiaofeng could find a way to buy them.

I didn't sleep for a day and a night, I had traveled so far, he was very tired, and after Xiaofeng left, he curled up beside the monk Yuanzhi and slept with it first.

……

I don't know how long I slept, there was a piercing suona sound and noise outside, Zhou Fengchen woke up suddenly, raised his eyes and looked outside, it was almost noon, and it happened that Xiaofeng bought Chinese medicine at this time and hurried back from outside.

Zhou Fengchen pointed outside and asked, "What's going on in the village?"

Xiao Feng put the medicinal herbs aside and said: "Didn't Mrs. Pi die yesterday, it's the old lady who checked Xiaojuan's body, she is a midwife, and she also knows some things that the gods talk about, she has raised two sons all her life, they are not filial, and they are angry to death, and the trumpet class invited today is here, and it is blowing outside."

Zhou Fengchen nodded, and suddenly frowned again, "Go and take a look." ”

Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, "Okay!" I'll take you. ”

The two went out and went to a row of tiled houses in front, and there were many people in front of one of the houses, most of them wearing filial piety hats and scarves, and there were whining cries and noises inside.

"That's it!" Xiao Feng pursed his lips and whispered: "Mrs. Pi's two sons are really bad, the old lady is dead, and she doesn't want to hold a funeral at home, so she works together in the old lady's room, and at this time eighty percent is rummaging through the old lady's money."

Zhou Fengchen suddenly thought of the old lady last night, walked to the door and looked through the crowd, only to see a broken wooden bed in the dark small tile room, and a posthumous image on the bookcase cabinet at the bedside, on which was a grinning white-faced old lady.

Isn't it the old lady with a crutch I met last night!
