Chapter 1382 Treasure
"As the door of the inner room opened, the woman let out a shrill scream. The old fisherman disappeared, and the house, which was originally tidy, was completely changed. The room was wet, and the black mud on the ground was emitting a pungent stench. The most important thing was the bed... The bed where the old fisherman had slept was covered with water plants, which was the unique beauty fragrance of Chunshen Lake!"
"The woman did not faint with the help of several younger generations. Before she could recover, another group of people came outside, led by an old man who was not tall and had a hunchback. The old man was supported by others and staggered over. He became excited when he saw the woman. The old man said that he had found her along the lake.
"The old man turned around and pointed to the ground in the yard. There was a very strange huge mark on the ground, like a huge snake crawling. "
"This is the rut left by the boat after hitting the bottom. It was a boat that knocked open your door last night! "The old man was obviously excited when he said this, his chest heaving violently, "I just followed the tracks and found a remote place by the lake. That boat...that boat came to your house from the lake last night!"
"It has been a rule in the fishing village for many years that boats cannot sail at night, and what kind of boat can sail on the shore? This strange scene made everyone present feel cold in their hearts. "
"Thinking back to what the old fisherman said last night, the three younger generations who had stayed at his house were even more scared. A strange and bizarre picture emerged in everyone's mind. Late at night, the wooden boat floated out from the depths of the lake, carrying the long-dead old man Wu and several others. These ghosts took the boat and drove all the way to the shore, knocked open the gate, and took the old fisherman in the room away in an incomprehensible way.
"No, it should be more appropriate to say 'bring him back'. Their purpose this time is to take the old fisherman back. After all, the old fisherman should stay there. It was a complete accident that he escaped."
"The old fisherman's premonition was correct. He really heard the sound, the sound of water, the sound of the boat cutting through the lake. Old Wu and his people were indeed outside the door!"
"At this time, the young man who had leaned behind the door to look out last night suddenly took a breath, and then his body began to tremble uncontrollably. He remembered that last night...last night was a dark cloud, and there was no moon at all. So where did he see the bright moonlight through the crack in the door? "
"Or, what kind of ghost thing did it come from?"
Storekeeper Qian took a breath, "In short, after that, no one saw the old fisherman, and the so-called old Wu and his people. They completely disappeared from this world."
The story is about to end here, but Jiang Cheng's doubts are far from being answered. While listening to the story, Jiang Cheng has always had a question in his heart, which is very important to him.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Qian, how do you know so much about this? It's as if you were watching him do these things." Jiang Cheng leaned forward, putting enough pressure on Shopkeeper Qian. He began to doubt his identity. Shopkeeper Qian was so frightened that his face changed. "Sir, sir, don't you dare joke like that! This kind of thing... don't dare to talk about this kind of thing casually, I just heard it from others..."
With a "bang", Jiang Cheng slammed the table and stood up, and the teacups on the table fell to the ground, "Bullshit! Is there such detailed hearsay?"
Shopkeeper Qian's legs were shaking, and he knelt down with a plop, and slapped himself with his backhand, "Sir, I'm sorry, sir, it's me... I was blinded by lard. I'm telling the truth. I asked someone to find out these things, that is... from the old fisherman's nephew. This nephew was one of the three young men who kept watch that night, so what happened to the old fisherman and what he said, he... he knows everything. In order to find out this matter, I spent 5 taels of silver."
"You, who runs an antique shop, are still interested in such a weird thing?" Jiang Cheng sneered, as if he had seen through Shopkeeper Qian's trick.
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Qian swallowed his saliva and said mysteriously: "Of course I dare not be interested in such evil things, but... but this time is different, this time..." Shopkeeper Qian blinked at Jiang Cheng, showing an expression that you understand and I understand.
"What are you looking at me for?" Jiang Cheng didn't understand.
"Sir, don't you understand yet?"
"What do I understand?"
Shopkeeper Qian came over mysteriously, leaned over to Jiang Cheng's ear, and said in a very light voice: "I know what you have been looking for? There are treasures in Chunshen Lake, right?"
"Your people in the Marquis' Mansion secretly captured all the fishermen around Chunshen Lake and accused them of colluding with bandits. A group of poor fishermen dare not rebel even if they have ten courage. You just want to use them to help you find the treasure left in the lake by General Guo of the previous dynasty before his death."
The previous dynasty, General Guo, treasure, and lake, four almost unrelated words are perfectly combined at this moment, and successfully attracted Jiang Cheng's attention. He vaguely felt that he had grasped the key to the problem.
Looking at the appearance of Shopkeeper Qian, he obviously regarded himself as a direct descendant of the Marquisate, and assumed that he also knew about the treasure in the lake. Jiang Cheng calmly played along and guided him to continue talking.
"You know a lot." Jiang Cheng slowly sat back in his chair and gave Shopkeeper Qian a dangerous expression that said you'd better carefully consider every word you say next.
Shopkeeper Qian sneered twice and excused himself: "Actually, there are not many people who know about this matter. After all, the former General Guo has been operating in our Luo'an City for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that the wealth in his hands is as rich as the enemy's. , but when the city was finally broken, guess what, the treasure house of his general’s palace was actually empty. "
"Not to mention gold and silver treasures, there are not even antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Some people say that General Guo knew his final fate, so he had already left a way out for himself and built a house for himself in Chunshen Lake. All the gold, silver and jewels are stored in the tomb. It is said that the tomb was instructed by ghosts and gods to make it extremely hidden. It is neither above the water nor under the water. It can only be found under the guidance of the general himself. "
Jiang Cheng was confused when he heard this, and asked: "It's not on the water, and it's not under the water, so where is this big tomb?"
"I don't know. Everyone is spreading rumors that this tomb... is alive. Because it can keep changing its position, no one can find it. It is also said that General Guo and others are not actually dead. They They all live in that tomb, as brave and immortal as they were in life, and have become the shadowy soldiers of ghosts and gods. "
"Their bodies were not found after the city was broken?" Jiang Cheng frowned. The heads of enemy generals of this level are good things that can be directly claimed for credit. There is no reason why they should not be found.
Shopkeeper Qian became uncomfortable when he heard this, and said with some fear: "Then this is not something that we little people can know. You have to ask the Marquis about this. After all, General Guo and the others were killed by the Marquis."
"It turns out that our Marquis has some tricks up his sleeve. General Guo led his soldiers, who are all ruthless men possessed by the God of Death. In front of the two armies, he cracked the armor with his bare hands and swung it away with a punch. All the men and horses were shattered. That's it. Shengfeng was killed by our Lord in one battle. It was also because of this that he was personally named the Marquis of Zhennan and took command of Luo'an City."
