Vol 13 Chapter 105: The Mystery of Shencheng

Li San smiled bitterly:
"The full name of this Chenzhou is called Chenzhou County. At that time, when the world was in chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of this small county did something hurtful to avoid military disasters, although they escaped because of this. He was looted by a group of rebels, but he was punished by God."
"Thunder and lightning flashed that night, and the surrounding residents said that there was a sound like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. It should be the earth dragon turning over, causing the nearby Ma Ta Lake to flood, and then the entire county town of Chenzhou County was directly submerged by the flood, and all sank to the bottom of the lake. go."
"Of course, that was hundreds of years ago, and no one knows if it's true or not, but Li Ju has a man named Sai Zhangfei whose hometown is in Ma Tahu, so why not ask him to ask? ."
So soon, Fang Linyan and Li San found the person from Xiangjiao, but Zhang Fei didn't sell Li San's face. Fortunately, Li Ju took a lot of money from Fang Linyan at this time and was in Tianjin. Crazy prostitution and gambling...
Ahem, don't look at Li Ju, who looks gloomy and indifferent, but how can an ordinary person bypass the four barriers of wine, sex, wealth, and qi? Even a bright and upright man like Wang Wu is both a good drinker and a lover of face, lest he damage his reputation for righteousness.
As soon as Li Ju came forward, Sai Zhangfei must have known everything he could say. He said that there is indeed an ancient city under Mata Lake, but usually there is no chance to see it. In winter, when the water is shallow and the weather On a clear day, you can vaguely see those winding buildings underwater, which are indeed like the buildings in the county seat.
Hearing such a strange thing, not only Fang Linyan, but also Li San and others were amazed, Li Ju couldn't help but said curiously:
"Since this is the case, why is there no one going to hunt for treasures? The water of Ma Ta Lake is only two or three feet deep? I heard that there are people in the south who grew up by the sea and lived in the water since childhood, so it is also called water. Ghost, this kind of person can make airbags out of pig urine, wear two or three airbags, and can stay underwater for half a day."
Sai Zhangfei shook his head and said:
"Since I was a child, I've heard that people go to treasure hunts, and even sailors have been attracted, but without exception, they all died underwater!"
"The older generation said that the underwater city is very evil, and the residents in it have already turned into hundreds of evil ghosts and others to go into the water to find a substitute!"
"However, these claims are all rumors and can't be counted, but my uncle has always liked to go fishing in the slack farming season. He wouldn't say anything."
Fang Linyan continued:
"Then do brothers Zhang Wangzhuang know where they are?"
When he asked this sentence, he knew that there should be no easy way to get the answer. After all, Chenzhou in this address actually refers to an underwater ancient city.
Sure enough, Sai Zhangfei shook his head:
"I really haven't heard of this."
After getting this information, Fang Linyan had a bottom line in his heart. He simply took out the silver note and launched a silver bullet offensive:
"Two hundred taels, I wonder if brother, are you interested in taking a trip to my hometown with me?"
Then Fang Linyan looked at Li Ju next to him:
"If Senior Brother Li is willing to go, it will cost one thousand taels."
Li Ju raised his chin slightly, his eyes were looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle, he looked very arrogant, but he shouted in his heart:
"Why don't you go, the don't go? It's only a thousand taels to run away, and Wang Wu's fool escorts the goods to the outside of the mouth, and it's only eight or ninety taels after being beaten to death!"
In fact, under normal circumstances, if the chief dart head runs out of the mouth, he can still have two or three hundred silver in his account, but Wang Wu is a generous person, has a big hand, and is loyal, even a newcomer can take it. To a full amount of reward money-----under normal circumstances, the general dart head can give the following bonus money, which is considered kind.
So, Li Ju just held back for two or three seconds, then he coughed and asked his subordinate next to him:
"Are we all right recently?"
This subordinate is a sincere eye:
"Looking back to the senior brother, didn't the senior sister from Hua Lanzhao have an appointment with you to talk about something important tonight?"
Li Ju immediately hated this in his heart, and decided to go out to preach the next time, performing a peg board, smashing a big stone in his chest, and the package of invulnerability must be him, his face still didn't move. Soundly said:
"Senior Sister has asked someone to send a message earlier, saying that it was rescheduled, but you don't know that. If that's the case, then let's go."

A day later,
Fang Linyan has already come to the Mata Lake. The area of ​​this lake is not small. Although it is not comparable to the famous Babaili Liangshanshuibo, it is not much worse than it.
It was noon at this time, the sun was shining on the lake, and you could see the shadows of the sails. The sea of ​​reeds was endless, swaying in the wind. According to Sai Zhangfei, there are thousands of fishermen living on the lake around this Horseshoe Lake, so it should be easy to inquire about the situation.
After visiting for a while, the location of the sinking city was directly locked. After all, in today's jargon, this place is about to become an Internet celebrity. Every year, there are treasure hunters, Xun Xian. People come here to explore and wander.
As soon as Fang Linyan smashed his silver coins, the villagers here immediately knew everything and said everything, but there are various sayings:
Some people say that there are thousands of ghosts below,
Some people say that the water looks calm there, but in fact, there are many undercurrents, and it is easy to get caught in the water and cannot escape.
The most exaggerated statement is that there is a water eye below, which leads directly to the East China Sea. Once it is accidentally involved, it will be difficult to survive.
...In short, it can be said that there are different opinions.
However, since they have come, Fang Linyan still wants to hear what Sai Zhang Fei's uncle has to say. This is his own person, who has experienced the sinking of the city under water. From his mouth, he should be able to obtain first-hand information. ?
Soon, Sai Zhangfei brought his uncle over. His surname was Liu, and everyone else called him Old Man Liu.
This is a Chinese farmer who is honest and friendly at first sight. After seeing so many people, he was trembling with fear. Fang Linyan walked over to comfort him, and then enticed him, and soon the old man told his own experience. speak up.
It probably means that he took five ospreys and went fishing on the lake back then, but he didn't expect the fog, so he accidentally strayed into the evil waters of Shencheng - According to the word of mouth of the local fishermen, there is also a restricted area, and it is usually impossible to go there.
Because of this, the old man played two nets at the time, and he was very happy to find that he actually gained something. This is very rare! You know, he came home empty-handed after coming out for a long time today, and the family is still waiting for him to buy two catties of rice and eat it after he sells the fish.
Before Fang Linyan considered the thinking of modern people, he felt that even if there is no fish in this good place, eels, frogs, mussels, snails, loaches, etc., can't be sold for money? Why do you have to point to fish to sell money?
Later, I went to the fishermen’s house to find out that this is an era of extreme material scarcity. The latter must be made delicious, with a lot of oil, such as spicy millet, watercress, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, chicken essence, pepper, and five-spice powder. Classes must not be less.
These seasonings... ahem, can these poor people have them?
The way they make fish is to boil it with salt, or steam it with salt, fry it with salt, that's the way to entertain guests!
So, things like eel and loach were not eaten unless they were in a hurry at that time. Think about the taste of salt after boiling them.
Another important point is that logistics was not developed at that time, and even if the fish was caught, the buyer was a big problem!
You said that if you sell it near the surrounding villages, you have to live a tight life every day. Haha, wouldn't people go to the lake to catch them if they want to eat fish? Even if someone is willing to pay, it must be extremely low.
It takes at least three or four hours to walk in the nearest county town. When you bring the fish to sell it, nine out of ten fish will die.
So at that time, there was a special fishmonger who bought a special fish-carrying boat. A living water tank was specially separated from the bottom of the boat. The bottom of this thing was only a vine net, and the fish could be in it at any time. It interacts with the outside river water, so it can transport live fish to the county town adjacent to the river.
Therefore, at that time, after the old man had two nets in a row, he thought of another net, but after he went down this net, in addition to finding two fishes in the net, he also broke a piece of the bottom of the water. Wadang was picked up!
This suddenly made him scared out of his mind, because in this vast lake, there are really not many places to pick up broken tiles. Not only that, but there are fish in three consecutive nets, which means another thing, the rest The fishermen never came here to catch fish at all.
Obviously, the old man realized that he had caused a big disaster. It is estimated that he broke into the restricted area of ​​the underwater sinking city in the fog, and he found that the fog seemed to be bigger.
Under such circumstances, the old man suddenly thought of an ancient way of saying that he first released all the fish he caught, because according to legend, the fish here were transformed by ghosts in Shencheng.
Then he could only kill the osprey he was carrying with tears in his eyes, cut their throats one by one and bleed them, and then sprinkled the blood into the water.
Of course, he kept kowtowing on the bow of the boat, and kept pleading in his mouth.
In the end, when he killed four ospreys, it actually worked.
The fog began to dissipate, and the old man hurriedly rowed away as if to escape for his life. When he returned home, he realized that there was something he forgot to throw back into the lake. It was the half-fished tile.
The whole family was hungry, and when the child was crying because of hunger, there was no way out. His wife's maiden brother came to the door, saying that he had come to ask his sister to borrow a medicine jar. The ancient tiledang suddenly brightened up and said that he would take it away together.
When Uncle Sai Zhangfei heard it, he was taken aback immediately. Everything else is easy to talk about. Can this evil thing be borrowed?
When I turned around, I would punting the boat to the vicinity, and then throwing it away, otherwise, I would be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, my mother's brother also said that his life was at stake here. It turned out that several villages near his house were plagued by plague, and men, women and children were all vomiting and diarrhoea. medicine.
In the end, Lang Zhong said that this recipe is the right medicine for the disease, and it will definitely cure the disease, but there is one thing that is a little difficult to do, that is, to find the old bricks and ancient tiles to make the introduction and make the medicine together.
The longer the introduction of this medicine is, the more powerful it will restrain the plague poison in the body!
At this time, there are all kinds of strange medicines when the langzhong prescribes the prescriptions, so the villagers have become accustomed to this, and even think that the medicine introductions are quite good.
In the end, I don't know if the prescription is effective, or if I was lucky. After my family's brother used Napowa as a drug primer, the medicine really cured the disease, and the plague was not very serious, and he died in a month or two. Not like people.
Seeing that her mother's brother was cured, the rest of the village came to ask her mother's brother to borrow the medicine, and it turned out that it really worked.
After curing more than a dozen people one after another, Sai Zhangfei's uncle was also worried about throwing this thing into the lake, so he took the initiative to come to the door and get it back.
As a result, the next day when my uncle was about to go out and board the boat, someone came to borrow this "medicine introduction". It should be because he heard that the curative effect of his parents' brother's side was remarkable.
Of course, my uncle refused. He said that I would take this thing back to Shenhu immediately, so as not to be haunted by resentful ghosts. The life of the patient on your side is life, UU reading www. uukanshu.com My life is paper?
The sick man had no choice, so he took out the money and wanted to buy it. At this time, Sai Zhang Fei's uncle was very smart. When he saw that the price was very high, he refused, saying that he was only borrowing, not selling. , took this broken tile to the door to give him decoction, the sick family not only had to pay, but also had to take care of his meals.
As a result, the patient's illness was really cured because of the medicine. As the reputation of this broken tile spread in the four towns and eight li, this thing began to be called Yin tile, and more and more people came to ask for medicine. The key is that although its curative effect is not 100%, it has a recovery rate of almost 50%.
Sai Zhangfei's uncle also made a fortune because of this, relying on this Yin tile to enter a well-off life where he can eat without working hard.
And his experience has also led many people to want to find a piece of broken tile or a broken brick to make a fortune. You must know, this thing is not a big deal, but a cornucopia of cash cows! Once they are picked up, they can even be passed on to their children and grandchildren, so that they can have no worries about food and clothing.
However, these people who went there either returned empty-handed, or they capsized the boat and sacrificed to the lake god... But there are still a few who killed a thousand knives and randomly found a tile and came to counterfeit the Yin tile and ran on it. Make yourself uncomfortable.
Hearing the old man's words, Fang Linyan, of course, was like a mirror in his heart, knowing the meaning of the words, he laughed and threw a dozen silver ingots:
"Take out this tile of yours and show it to me. I don't want yours either. Just use it for two or three days. Your nephew will keep it for the whole process, and then ask your nephew to bring it back. Is this enough money?"
