I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 641 Comparison Records, Bridge Piers
The professor was shocked. Did something happen to the Yellow River Iron Ox?
"Tell me in detail, and describe the specific details so that I can determine which Iron Bull it is."

"???"

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment. Which one?

Are there a lot of iron bulls?

Thinking back, I seem to have heard that cast iron cows have existed in every dynasty, so it is normal that there are so many of them.

But he remembered that these iron cows seemed to be on the river bank, right?
He vaguely remembered someone mentioning it to him, but he couldn't remember when.

Wen Yan gave a brief description and the professor pondered for a moment.

“Based on these alone, I can’t accurately determine which one it is.

There are indeed many iron oxen along the Yellow River. In the early days, the iron oxen were used as anchors to fix the cable bridges.

Tie iron chains on it to connect boats and use it as a fixed iron chain bridge.

This is the practical significance.

Also because the ox represents strength, the ox symbolizes Kun, Kun represents earth, and earth overcomes water.

The cast iron ox is placed on the river bank, with the intention of deterring floods in the Yellow River, suppressing evil spirits and blocking floods.

But these are placed on the river bank.

It is true that there was an iron ox dug out from the Yellow River.

But at the beginning, these iron bulls were not thrown directly into the river.

Instead, it was stationed on the river bank, and as the river course changed, it was eventually submerged in the river.

Four statues were originally excavated on the east coast, and according to records there were eight.

There should be four statues on the west bank of the Guanzhong County side, but they have not been found yet.

I will go back and study it to confirm the details.”

"Okay then, I'll have a talk with the professor then." Wen Yan thought about it and didn't say anything about the alien riding on the iron bull's back.

As for the professor’s other speculations, we will talk about them later.

Under normal circumstances, Wen Yan would never go near the Yellow River. He would avoid going within 50 kilometers of the main stream if possible, even if it meant taking a detour.

The situation is urgent this time, he definitely can't just ignore it.

Moreover, he also knew that he could avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth.

But just when he was about to fall into the Yellow River, a strange creature appeared riding an iron ox.

Wen Yan was certain of one thing in his heart, He Bo definitely hadn't revived yet.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to have no reaction when faced with such an opportunity.

At that time, he only revealed a little bit of his aura, and Suicune was able to open his eyes instantly across the water.

The Thirteenth Ancestor had directly blessed the chains that bound Water God with the scorching sun.

He didn't know what the Thirteenth Ancestor's Fiery Sun derivative special effects were, but he thought they wouldn't be bad. This kind of blessing must have special effects.

This was beautified by the younger generations as "some unpleasantness", and they still solemnly warned him not to get close to the Huai River no matter what.

The unpleasantness with He Bo was probably intended to offend someone to death at that time.

The relationship between Fuyu Mountain and the water system is not very good, but it is not entirely the fault of the Thirteenth Ancestor.

Gan Tang has always had a grudge against these water guys.

The big zombies have a similar attitude. At most, they just keep to themselves and don't see each other.

My aunt is a Ba, it would be weird if she could have a good relationship with water.

Now Wen Yan has come to see the Yellow River in person, and it is not quite the same as he had imagined.

The water in this section of the river was emerald green, without any yellowish feel, and the water surface was very calm. Instead, it was a bit like the big rivers Wen Yan had seen in the south.

Now thinking back, Wen Yan also felt that this was normal. If the entire area was like Hukou Waterfall, it would have been doomed long ago.

While he was daydreaming, he also felt that what the professor said was quite possible.

Because before, it was supposed to be far from the time for Suicune to wake up, but he was awakened anyway...

If he fell into the Yellow River and then used the scorching sun, there might be a possibility that it would stimulate He Bo to revive.

Wen Yan stayed in a nearby city for a day, waiting for the professor to come.

By the way, he was waiting here to prevent anyone from coming to silence him again.

The smiling interrogation expert was seconded again to conduct a surprise interrogation.

Wen Yan didn't care. It had been a whole day and the people in the interrogation room were busy.

There was no one who dissented, and no one to stop it.

If these guys really do something big, it will be equivalent to a terrorist attack. They deserve it if they are chopped up on the spot and used as fertilizer.

Wen Yan now realizes that the people who really have the chance to cause trouble are the living people.

Once an alien is discovered in the city, the worst consequence is registration and filing.

From then on, anyone who committed a crime would be caught.

There are also preventive measures that are not seen on weekdays.

But for normal living people, as long as they are not registered professionals, the Lieyang Tribe has no control over what they do on a daily basis, and the protection plans are not at the same level.

Wen Yan didn't go to check. Even if he did, he wouldn't find anything, so he just stayed there.

Then, no one found out about the kidnappers or the messenger.

The ghosts living nearby sensed something unusual and began to retreat away.

With the local Lieyang tribe headquarters as the center, there is not even a ghost to be found within a radius of ten miles.

The professor came over by high-speed rail. After seeing Wen Yan, he looked at Wen Yan carefully. After making sure that there was no problem, he started to talk about business.

"Professor, please take a look at this first." Wen Yan handed the ancient jade engraved with the talisman of the Goddess of Salvation to the professor.

Then he put his hand on the professor's shoulder and gave him some yang energy.

With the blessing of Yang energy, the remaining Yin energy in the professor's body, as well as the negative forces that had eroded his body due to the passage through the underworld, were all swept away.

The professor nodded and thanked him. He then gave the amulet to his driver, as he himself was somewhat affected.

After all, he is not a combat profession. His physical condition is slightly better than that of ordinary people, but not as good as that of a warrior.

“This thing is not difficult to make, and it was promoted by the Lieyang Tribe before.

As long as one is a Taoist priest who is familiar with the ordination of the Goddess of Evil, and learns a little bit of carving and spends some time, one can do it.

The best effect is achieved by using ancient jade, but it cannot be ancient jade used for burials that is soaked in blood.

The effectiveness of a single use is generally ten to twenty minutes.

After use, you have to take it back and re-consecrate it.

But the advantage is that you don’t have to bring a Taoist priest with you when you are doing a mission.

Nowadays, even if the Taoist priests who grant the Goddess of Elimination of Evil relax some of the conditions, it is only so much.

Even if these people were used like donkeys, they would not be able to pull all the millstones.

This thing is just a stopgap measure, and a better improved version has not yet been developed.

But even so, in the past four months, the Lieyang Division has prevented at least 300 casualties in the field."

The professor said this and gestured to Wen Yan.

“Take a photo and compare it, there should be a record.

Don't worry about someone abusing it. This thing was originally intended for field use, so we can't throw it out with the bathwater."

Wen Yan took a photo and asked Black Box to compare it.

No exact match was found.

Wen Yan thought about it, took a few more photos, all with the highest pixels, and gave them back to the black box so that it could match the ones with the most similar details.

After matching the results, Wen Yan handed the phone to the professor. "Professor, I can't find the records, but I guess someone with this ability would definitely not just do one.

As long as it has been done before, it is all gone in the records of the Lieyang Department.

Otherwise, there must be similarities between them.

But I can’t see it, and the results of computer matching cannot be 100% certain.

Professor, please show me."

The professor adjusted his glasses and carefully compared the suspected target given by the black box.

"Different people may have different habits, angles, strengths, tools, and sequences when carving. If you are not an experienced hand, some small mistakes may be more obvious."

While the professor was explaining to Wen Yan how to identify this kind of thing, he also talked about handwriting identification and other things, and talked about the common points of these things.

He didn't expect Wen Yan to be able to enter the industry, it was purely a habit.

After waiting for a few minutes, the professor pointed to two of the photos on file.

“This is the guy, there’s no doubt about it.

Look at the technique and the details, and his growing proficiency.

This piece of ancient jade was made between these two photos.

That is, between two months ago and two and a half months ago. ”

The professor not only pointed out the person, but also determined the time when the ancient jade was carved.

The sculptor was a Taoist priest from Luoyue County, a Taoist priest in a small Taoist temple.

According to the records of the Lieyang Tribe, his qualifications were average, but he had a good temperament and was well-educated. After entering the Taoist temple, he volunteered to teach drowning prevention in the local area every summer for more than ten years.

Because of many reasons, this person is not qualified for most Taoist certificates according to formal requirements, but he does meet the requirements for the certificate of the Goddess of Elimination of Disasters.

Moreover, the process of ordination is also a test, and it does not necessarily mean that the ordination will be successful once it is approved.

The ordination process for this Taoist priest went smoothly because he was very compatible with the ordination of the Goddess of Salvation.

After learning how to carve jade to make backup props, this Taoist priest has already supplied nine jade talismans to the Lieyang Tribe. The people of the Lieyang Tribe in Luoyue County have a very good impression of the Taoist priest.

Wen Yan asked Black Box to pass the message to the headquarters director and left it alone, saying that the people from the Lieyang Department would handle it.

"Before, in addition to the iron bull, I also saw a woman sitting horizontally on the back of the iron bull. Half of her face was normal, and the other half was a skeleton. Something like that."

Wen Yan took out his mobile phone and called out the picture that he had asked the black box to generate.

The picture shows the characteristics of the woman he described, including her clothes and appearance. Tie Niu was also modified according to Wen Yan's description.

The professor looked at the picture and saw that the woman was wearing a red dress and had a big braid. The professor frowned slightly.

"Wife of the River God, the River Guarding Ox..."

"Does the professor recognize you?"

“When the mountain folks were ignorant, they did a lot of things under the pretext of marrying the river god.

In the previous few hundred years, during the Dharma Ending Age, there were no miraculous influences.

Many problems are caused by soil erosion and a vicious cycle caused by climate change.

But there were some people who wanted to find someone to take the blame, or to find ways to save themselves.

Or maybe he just wanted to do evil and found an excuse to continue oppressing and controlling the mountain people.

Forcing women to wear wedding dresses and throwing them into the river was one of the typical examples that was targeted after the establishment of the Lieyang Tribe.

With the revival of spiritual energy, these things have ceased.

But who knows, there might be a special water ghost that has revived and taken on the identity of the River God’s Wife.”

"Water ghost..." Wen Yan muttered.

“Well, even if it exists, even if it has some special abilities, its essence is still a water ghost, and it cannot be a water god.

Among the many large water bodies in China, although there is only one water god except the Huai River, there are more than one water god in other places.

But the Yellow River has a different meaning. It is impossible for a water ghost or water monster to turn into a water god casually.

This is different from the south. In Nanwu County, the water god of Xijiang River, water monsters or water ghosts with some characteristics of the water god are very likely to appear.

That's because the rules had been set earlier that Xijiang could not be the only dragon king.

Even King Guilong, his territory is just a first-level tributary.

Anyone else who meets the requirements can be transformed into a water god of a body of water.

In the north, whether it is the rules that have been set long ago or the imperial decrees of successive dynasties, people are much more cautious.”

Wen Yan did not interrupt the professor. He was used to the professor's way of speaking and just regarded it as an opportunity to broaden his horizons.

After the professor finished speaking, the topic turned to Tie Niu, and the professor looked at Tie Niu.

"How similar are you to Iron Ox?"

"It's at least 90% similar to what I saw."

“Then this is not the iron ox that sits on the shore, nor is it the iron ox that was originally on the shore and was later submerged as the river course changed.

The original purpose of casting this iron ox was to be thrown into the river.

It is not used to suppress floods, but to suppress something in the river.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be to suppress a certain river god's wife.

But as the spiritual energy revived, the iron ox also developed charm.

According to what you said, it should be a bit like the power of the water god.

And judging by the visions you were seeing, it certainly wasn’t something harmless.”

Wen Yan became interested when he heard this.

"Professor, what do you think is the best way to deal with this?"

"Its body is heavy and impossible to move. Find its body and dig it out together with the body and the things under it.

Find a capable steel mill, crush it, and smelt it, preferably to make steel bars for the piers of the cross-sea bridge."

"..."

Wen Yan was dumbfounded. He had just thought of digging it out and throwing it into the sea to fill the land.

The professor is much more cruel than him.

If you do this, it doesn't matter what magical powers or characteristics this iron ox has.

The final result is that it is neither land nor sea, neither left nor right. In addition, as a bridge pier, it will never be reborn.

"Are you really doing this?"

"if not?"

"How do we dig?"

"Don't worry about it. You can't interfere in this matter. If you interfere, nothing good will come of it."

"Oh……"

"Don't say that. Oh, by the way, when I was passing through the underworld, I met an old ghost who helped me.

He asked me to ask you if he could also order takeout?

I have asked, if you are really free, you can go to Guanzhong County, which is more than 100 kilometers northeast of the county seat.

Go there and buy a portion of mutton in a basin and three crescent moon cakes, and take them with you on your way back.

After that, if you are free again, you can go to Luoyue County.

Don't interfere in what's going on here.

I'll take care of it myself!"
