Mysterious Resurrection: Seize the Artifact

Chapter 237 Invisible Spirituality
Tianshui Town is located in a small county called TS City in Dachuan City. The population flow here is not too high, and it belongs to the type of small town.

The prices here are not high, and the wages paid by the factory to employees are only a little over 2000 a month.

But one thing is good, the house price here is very cheap, and a suite is only 50 million, which is not as expensive as a bride price from a big city girl.

So this kind of small place is very suitable for rich people to retire, especially this kind of town with big mountains, it is the best place for rich people to come and relax when they are tired from playing.

The weather in TS City today is very good, the sun is shining brightly, and the cold wind blowing from nowhere is not so biting.

Lin Qian was lying on the iron railing of Tianshui Bridge, which was a ten-meter-high bridge that crossed the Tianshui River below.

The wind hanging from the river made people's clothes grin, and the windbreaker was blown backwards by the wind.

Coco's small head protruded from the gap in the railing, staring at the exposed riverbed below, her eyes were bright, and looking at her, it was obvious that she wanted to go down and play.

The age of the bridge is not too young. Listening to the locals here, because of a flood a year ago, almost submerged the entire bridge, it sounds a little unreal, but it doesn't matter.

Importantly, after that day, the bridge was barricaded and no cars, not even motorcycles, were allowed to pass.

So, I don't know when it started, Tianshui Bridge has become a good place for locals to go out for a walk at night.

The wind blew her hair, and Lin Qian lay leisurely on the railing, her eyes fixed on a small section of river tens of meters away.

There is a river embankment extending from the bank, which is paved with stones, and one extends to the middle of the river. I don't know if it is to block some river water from scouring the bridge, or what.

In the middle of the embankment, there is a red safety warning post, there is no text warning, it just stands like this, I don't know what its purpose is.

However, I heard a casual chat from an old man who was walking just now, and that thing seems to be used to mark it, so that people can know that there is a deep pit there, a bottomless pit.

According to the old man, there is a name there. According to the locals, it is called "Changwentuo". As for why it is called this name, he does not know.

This "long winding lump" is very deep. I heard that when a large truck was dumping goods, the driver accidentally drove the truck into it due to a driver's misoperation.

According to what the old man said at the time, if the driver hadn't run fast, he might have disappeared with the car.

If something like this comes out, someone will definitely come forward to salvage it. After all, in those days, a large truck loaded with sand and gravel was not cheap.

So a few days after the accident, someone came to salvage, but the result was not satisfactory. They didn't even touch the car for a whole few days.

This is a bit unbelievable. In the eyes of the people at the time, the long winding tuo didn't look very deep. In addition, this is a natural river. The deepest in other places is only more than ten meters deep. The shallowest one can be seen at a glance. Seeing the river bed, it was barely enough to pass a cargo ship.

So people at that time didn't believe in evil, and they salvaged for several days, but found nothing, and they didn't even touch the bottom of the long winding lump.

This is a bit weird, many people don't know what to do, after so many days of fishing, they didn't even find the location of the car, and they didn't even find out the bottom of the lump.

At this moment, it is difficult for people. It is impossible for them to just give up such an expensive truck.

Things worth hundreds of thousands, in those days, a house was only 12, and this car alone was worth several houses, and it was something that could not be given up.

But depending on the situation, the car is not easy to fish out, after all, if you can't touch the car, you can't get it out, right?

So some of them figured out a way, that is, to dig out the bottom of this long winding lump first, as long as they are sure how deep it is, then they will know how deep they should use to fish the car.

Because at that time, there was no advanced equipment, they could only use the clumsy method of tying something with a rope to sink into the water. As long as the rope did not continue to fall, it would be the end.

When the time comes to see how many ropes are used, they will know how deep it is, so they did this. One rope is 100 meters, and they used more than [-] ropes tied together for sinking. water.

The result was surprising. These more than 100 ropes and a length of more than 300 meters did not reach the end. It was at this time that they also realized that there was very likely a grand canyon under this long winding tuo. In the end, let alone hundreds of kilometers.

It is basically impossible to salvage a car from here, no one can salvage a small car in this deep lump of unknown depth and width.

Knowing that this was the result, the owner of the truck went directly to the hospital. In that era, hundreds of thousands of people disappeared immediately, and it was in such a small place, and those with poor psychological endurance might jump right away.

But fortunately, the owner of the truck has a good mental capacity, so he didn't choose to jump off the building, and this matter was left alone in the end.

It is said that after the owner of the truck, another unlucky ghost drove the car into Changwentuo, but this time the driver was unlucky and did not escape in time, and followed the truck into this bottomless lump .

Staring at that part of the river, Lin Qian felt unspeakable apprehension. What the old man said was true. There is indeed a bottomless canyon under this long winding lump, at least a thousand meters deep.

And in this grand canyon, let alone tens of thousands of meters wide, it is almost the size of the entire TS city. Inside, Lin Qian saw a big fish, a fish that was completely black, with two chains hanging from its mouth.

On the fish's back, a huge golden coffin was bound by dozens of chains, several chains the size of an adult tightly bound the coffin to the back of the big fish.

On top of the big fish grew a willow tree, a flowering willow tree.

"The predecessors' handwriting is beyond doubt. This matches another legend told by the old man. There is indeed a carp that weighs a thousand catties."

Lin Qian's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to touch the things inside, that fish was a ghost fish, the level of terror was much higher than his, if it wasn't for the long winding mouth, it was only so small, and there was a lamp on the mouth The burning ancient bronze lamp suppressed the ghost fish.

This ghost fish might have come out a long time ago, Lin Qian looked at the carp swimming in the darkness, and silently withdrew the spirit of the ghost glasses.

He can see these all because of the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, otherwise he can't see this kind of weirdness. The starving ghost is only invincible in this era, and he can't be invincible in the era of his predecessors. Once the bride is married, he can do it.

Ripples on the river surface, occasional river fish splashing, splashing a piece of water, a few children walking on the embankment, for them, the adults' warning is their challenge fun, they are playing happily, the dense aquatic plants on the embankment They were quickly overshadowed.

In front of a winter swimming base not far away, seven or eight old men put on swimming rings, plunged into the water and swam towards the opposite bank.

It seems that the icy cold river water is a good medicine for them to strengthen their bodies.

Lin Qian stared at all this and let out a long breath. The beautiful breath of life is always daunting. If there is no recovery of the ghost, he is very willing to live such a life.

The wind on the bridge is always so strong that I don’t care about the pedestrians taking pictures of them. Anyway, if there is no accident, the photos taken are all blank. If you are unlucky, you may have to change to a new mobile phone.

Rubbing Ke Ke's head, putting his hands in his pockets, he walked towards Tianshui Town. Tianshui Town is on the opposite side of the bridge, and TS City is on the other.

Ke Ke followed Lin Qian bouncingly, with a lollipop in her mouth, made by Li Gui, Lin Qian helped her get it out, it tasted like apples and tomatoes, it tasted very good.

Lin Qian looked up at the sky, the clouds passed over the sky, covering the morning sun, the weather was a bit gloomy, but it was not going to rain.

Walking across the bridge, Lin Qian looked at the T-shaped intersection, recalled what the old man said, and walked to the left. If there is no accident, he has to go to the fifth turntable, where he enters Tianshui Village, which is Tianshui Town. On the west side, his delivery target is there.

On the right is another place, where the situation is still very strange. Legend has it that there is a reservoir in that place, and there is a water dragon king hidden in the reservoir. Anyone who does not follow the rules will anger the water dragon king, so at night, that person They will be recruited by the water dragon king, and then they will dive to death.

And the corpse had to stay underwater for half a month before being released by the Water Dragon King, and only then could the family members collect the corpse.

Lin Qian was skeptical about this statement. In his eyes, the legend of the Water Dragon King was just a terrifying ghost. As for the corpse staying in the water for half a month, this might be a rule of the ghost.

Lin Qian looked to the right, thought for a while and didn't go over there to provoke that ghost. It's weird here. Lin Qian guessed that many folk legends here are true, but it's not the gods and Buddhas they thought in their hearts, but a Only ghosts.

Moreover, most of these ghosts may not have been left over from the period of the Republic of China, but were most likely written by predecessors. The coffin-carrying ghost fish in Changwentuo is the best proof.

Going to the left, there is a bus station at the head of the bridge, from here you can see buses going to many places, such as Yaoba Ancient Town, Chewang, Hejiang, and Fawang Temple.

Passing through the station, there are many people asking if there is a car going there, many of them are carrying big bags and small bags, and they look like they are going to visit relatives. After all, it is almost the Chinese New Year. common.

Ignoring the call from the conductor to go in front of the bus, Lin Qian took Coco and left the station. Sometimes small towns also have the benefits of small towns.

The place is small, the flow of people is not so much, it doesn't look so crowded, and the sound of car exhaust and horns is not so noisy.

Walking on the street, there are shops on both sides of the road, selling clothes and pants, breakfast restaurants are basically there, one after another, covering both sides of the entire street.

Walking among them, Lin Qian found an interesting place, that is, the closer to the bridgehead, the more people set up stalls selling fruit and food, and they didn't set up a stall.

Instead, put a basket on the ground or pick vegetables, which can be called a stall, and some even sell directly in front of the bank.

And the bank didn't come forward to drive people away. After all, these sellers are older grandparents. It would be inappropriate for them to come out to drive people away. Besides, it doesn't affect them, so there is no need to do this. Kind of wicked.

This kind of situation is basically not seen in big cities. On the one hand, there are places dedicated to selling these things, and on the other hand, no elderly people will set up such stalls in big cities.

Looking at this scene, Lin Qian was very surprised. Walking past the stalls in front of these old people in their seventies and eighties, the things they sell are very fresh, and the vegetables and fruits look like they have just been picked from the trees.

Ke Ke walked beside her father, saw her father stopped in front of a stall selling winter dates, hugged her father's thigh, poked her head out quietly, looked at the winter dates in the vegetable basket, her eyes flickered.

The man who sold the winter jujube was an old man who looked very energetic and could live for at least 20 years. The old man showed a smile on his face when he saw the shy Ke Ke:
"What a handsome girl, young man, your daughter? She's a bit shy, it's not a good thing, take her out to play more, and when she grows up, she will have a better personality and more friends."

Hearing the old man's words, Lin Qian rubbed Ke Ke's head, and nodded with a smile. The old man is not bad-hearted. He looked down at Ke Ke, and Lin Qian asked:
"Do you want to eat dates?"

"want!"

Ke Ke nodded quickly, because the nodding was a little too big, the lollipop in her mouth almost fell out, Lin Qian's eyes twitched, it was not good for this thing to fall out.

But Lin Qian didn't care, squatted down, took the bag handed over by the old man, grabbed three or four catties of winter dates, and passed it to the old man:
"Master, weigh me."

"okay."

The old man smiled and picked up the scale. It was a handmade scale with scales. When he started to weigh it, the old man reached out and fiddled with the weight, and quickly gave the weight:
"Young man, it's four catties and five taels in total. Let's see if it's right."

As he said that, he handed the scale to Lin Qian. Lin Qian was a little embarrassed. He would not recognize this thing. He was born in the city, but he had only heard of this kind of thing, but had never seen it. Today was the first time he saw it .

It was at this time that Lin Qian discovered that the grandpas and aunts who sell melons, fruits and vegetables on the street all use this kind of scale to determine the weight.

The old man also noticed Lin Qian's embarrassment, and immediately realized that Lin Qian would not let him go, so he laughed, but he didn't care, he didn't mean to laugh at Lin Qian, all the kids in the city were like this.

"Young man, the jujube for you is ten yuan a catty, so I will give you a change, and you can give me forty."

The old man handed over the winter dates, and smiled ridiculously at Lin Qianke, who was hiding from him. Seeing the old man's kind smile, Lin Qian nodded, took the pocket that was handed over, and took out 50 yuan from it with a smile The money was put in the vegetable basket, and after saying that there was no need to look for it, he stood up and left.

Looking at the 50 yuan in the vegetable basket, the old man accepted it openly without being pretentious. Looking at the backs of Lin Qian and Ke Ke, he grinned.

It is very rare to see such a pair of father and daughter these days. The old man is handsome, and the girl is handsome, but I don’t know what a mother looks like.

Lin Qian walked in the crowd, carrying a bag of winter dates, Ke Ke stretched out her small hands to grab into the pocket, Lin Qian lowered the pocket slightly, so that Ke Ke didn't have to work so hard.

Seeing that Coco was eating a winter jujube in one mouthful, Lin Qian shook his head, a little dumbfounded, this little guy, since he got a part of the supernatural power of a starving ghost from him, this little guy has no taboos in eating, and his appetite is extremely exaggerated.

Rubbing Ke Ke's head, Lin Qian felt helpless:
"Eat slowly, no other children will snatch it from you."

"Hey, Dad, this is delicious!" Ke Ke laughed, her face was full of satisfaction, but she also listened to Lin Qian's words, and the speed of eating slowed down a lot.

"This snack."

Lin Qian shook his head, and walked towards the five-turn dial with Ke Ke. Ke Ke is very fierce now. Since his connection with the bride has deepened, the ghosts that Ke Ke has gotten from the bride have become more and more outrageous. Now she not only has ghosts The ability to draw, and the ability to be willing to starve to death.

If it wasn't for her feeling that Li Gui was not delicious and had no taste, maybe Coco would eat Li Gui every day. Coco also expressed a pity for this. According to her words, Gui Gui is not delicious, it doesn't smell good, and it doesn't look good. , Coco doesn't like to eat.

Lin Qian didn't care about these, anyway, Keke was very obedient, when he was with him, he just ate and basically forgot that he still had these supernatural powers.

It was the same when we were together with Xiaoyue before. If there was no problem with Xiaoyue last time, Keke would not have remembered that he still has ghost domain. Keke told him all these things.

Regarding this, Lin Qian was very speechless. The only guy in this world who can forget that he has abilities and think that he is an ordinary person is Ke Ke.

There are many people going to the market on the street. This is the characteristic of a small place. Some things are only sold when you go there early. These things are not available in supermarkets, such as fresh winter bamboo shoots.

Walking among the market-going crowd, Lin Qian was retrograde, looking at the sky far away, the sky there was much darker than where he was now, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be Tianshui Village.

Lin Qian took Ke Ke's hand and walked towards the destination. Suddenly, Lin Qian raised her brows, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the road ahead, feeling a little chilly in her heart.

After looking at the expressions of the people around him, Lin Qian's pupils dilated slightly. He could be sure that these people were not affected by the supernatural, so these people really couldn't see the scene.
