One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

But the corpse fishers believed that this song could bring them good luck, gain the protection of the river god, and allow them to return home safely.

"Be careful!" Huang Miao suddenly issued a stern warning.

"Wow!"

At this moment, a bony hand stretched out from the surging river and grabbed Wang Ye's ankle.

Wang Ye subconsciously took a step back, and then pulled the thing out of the river.

This thing looked extremely scary, with black fur all over its body and fangs protruding outward. When it opened its mouth, its entire head seemed to be split in two, with only a layer of fur connecting them.

Moreover, this thing was extremely fast. After climbing onto the raft, it appeared behind Huang Miao in the blink of an eye, opening its mouth to bite.

Seeing this, Wang Ye quickly drew out the black gold ancient sword and chopped it on the monster's neck.

In an instant, the corpse was separated, but strangely, not a drop of blood flowed out of the body.

Wang Ye kicked the monster's body back into the river and said coldly:
“I didn’t expect there would be water monkeys in this river.”

At this moment, more and more hands grabbed the raft and shook it desperately, as if they wanted to shake the two men off the raft and into the water.

However, the oar in Huang Miao's hand suddenly hit the raft. Strangely enough, the raft that had been drifting with the current now floated on the water as steadily as land, and no matter how it shook, it did not move at all.

Wang Ye looked at the raft under his feet in surprise, and saw that the talisman drawn on it before emitted a faint light. Although it was only a flash, he was sure that he was not mistaken.

"This is..." Wang Ye asked puzzledly.

Huang Miao naturally knew his doubts and explained calmly:
"All the rules passed down from ancient times have their reasons. Don't be distracted, just focus on dealing with the water monkey."

As Huang Miao was speaking, more and more water monkeys climbed out of the water, and some could even jump more than half a meter high.

Wang said no more. The black gold ancient sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, and his legs seemed to have taken root as he stood on the raft.

He was able to deal with the water monkeys coming from all directions by himself.

The people on the shore were all surprised when they saw the water monkey appear for the first time, and then they began to worry that the two would encounter an accident.

"What on earth is that? A water monster?" Zhuge Qing asked in astonishment.

However, at this moment, Zhang Lingyu's voice sounded beside him:

"It's recorded in the notes that this creature is called a water monkey. It has a brutal temperament and likes to rot corpses. They are omnivorous animals and are almost extinct. They are very rare.

I didn’t expect that there would be something like this hidden in this river…”

"Water Monkey?" Zhuge Qing looked at Zhang Lingyu in surprise. He had never heard of this name.

At this moment, Xia He's voice came with shock:

"Team Leader Zhuge, I know Director Huang has a strange style of doing things, but why haven't I heard that Deputy Director Zhang of the Core Bureau is so powerful before?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qing immediately looked towards the river, and saw Wang Ye taking a step into the air and killing two water monkeys in a row.

Then when he landed on the raft, he stepped on a water monkey and broke its spine.

These water monkeys seemed to be endless and attacked from all directions, but Wang Ye and Huang Miao were able to protect himself and Huang Miao unharmed with just his sword.

This scene made Zhuge Qing open his mouth wide.

He had tried to pick up the knife before, but found it so heavy that he could barely lift it even with two hands.

However, now the knife in Wang Ye's hand seemed to have lost its weight and was as flexible as ever.

How much strength does it take to do this!
What surprised Zhuge Qing even more was that this taciturn man who had always stayed by Huang Miao's side actually possessed such powerful strength.

He asked himself, if it were him, even if he had a full set of hot weapons in his hands, he would have been dragged into the water by now, let alone with only a cold weapon?

This is simply unbelievable!
"Wow, Deputy Director Zhang is so powerful?" Feng Baobao also looked at Zhang Lingyu in astonishment. She had never thought that the taciturn Wang Ye was so powerful.

Zhang Lingyu was not surprised:

"Wang Ye's abilities are even stronger than what you see. You have blood flowing in your body, but he has the blood of a unicorn flowing in his body."

Feng Baobao didn't understand what Zhang Lingyu said, but at this moment another idea came into her mind.

She looked at Zhang Lingyu curiously and said:
"Doesn't this mean that the combination of the two directors is invincible? Director Huang is knowledgeable and knows almost everything, while the deputy director is very skilled and powerful.

How could this combination of civil and military talents meet any rivals?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingyu smiled strangely:
"You don't really think our Director Huang is just a weak scholar, do you?"

While the two were talking, Wang Ye had already been entangled by five or six water monkeys.

At this moment, two water monkeys jumped out of the water again and rushed towards Huang Miao.

Huang Miao seemed unaware of it. He picked up the oar and hit the two water monkeys with a light paddle.

Both the angle and the strength are just right.

This seemingly random attack actually contains the profound heritage of ancient Chinese martial arts.

"Crack!"

Two crisp breaking sounds were heard, and the necks of the two water monkeys were broken in an instant.

However, Huang Miao continued to control the ship steadily as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Wang Ye also used his last knife to kill the remaining water monkey. He looked at Huang Miao in surprise:
"Why didn't I see you being so powerful in the ancient tomb before? Every time we dealt with Zongzi, you were the first to run away."

Huang Miao shrugged, looking nonchalant:
"That's because you're here. The king doesn't have a chance to show off."

The two chatted easily, as if the crisis before them was nothing at all.

However, when Feng Baobao, who was on the shore, saw Huang Miao's move, he widened his eyes and was stunned for a long time.

Zhang Lingyu's voice came slowly:
"See? Although our director didn't do much, we can tell from these details that he is quite powerful."

Feng Baobao nodded solemnly. Only then did she realize that her previous judgment of Huang Miao and Wang Ye was completely wrong.

These two people are really very talented. You can't tell that they have such abilities.

This scene was so shocking to Feng Baobao, not to mention Zhuge Qing and others.

Especially after seeing Huang Miao easily solve the two water monkeys, Zhuge Qing's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He had dealt with Huang Miao a lot, but he never knew that Huang Miao had such skills.

After all, the investigators of the National Security Bureau all have special skills.

Just from Huang Miao's casual attack, one can see his extraordinary strength.

He can keep the raft steady in big waves and remain calm when faced with sudden attacks from water monkeys.

At this moment, Zhuge Qing's doubts about the core bureau were reduced a lot.

He even vaguely felt that this department was more complicated than he had imagined!
"Rumble..."

At this moment, another thunder brought Zhuge Qing back to reality from his contemplation.

He looked at the river again, but found that the water monkey had disappeared. Wang Ye held a water monkey's head in his hand and threw it aside casually:
"Lucky, I cut off the leader's head directly..."

Huang Miao never looked back and left his back to Wang Ye with complete trust.

This shows how much he trusts Wang Ye's ability.

After all, they were a group that had explored thirty large tombs side by side!

At this moment, Huang Miao took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it and put it to his mouth.

Seeing this action, Wang Ye knew that Huang Miao was about to start "casting magic".

It's like this every time. Huang Miao doesn't smoke at all. He only lights a cigarette when he is dealing with something.

Sure enough, after Huang Miao lit the cigarette, he held it in his hand and carefully observed the smoke drifting towards the east.

Soon, Wang Ye was surprised to find that the smoke produced by the burning cigarette actually gathered and did not disperse.

"We have now entered the Shenlong Shelter. No matter what happens, remember not to look back."

As soon as Huang Miao finished speaking, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded behind Wang Ye:
"Wang Ye..."

When his name was suddenly called, Wang Ye subconsciously wanted to turn around, but at this moment, Huang Miao's stern voice came:
“Don’t look back, this is the water ghost calling your soul. If you look back, the two yang flames on your shoulders will be extinguished.

By then, the water ghost will have an opportunity to take advantage. "

Hearing this, Wang Ye immediately stopped turning around and looked at Huang Miao in confusion:
"Water ghost, what is it?"

As for zongzi, Wang Ye can even tell its year just by looking at it.

But Wang Ye was very unfamiliar with things like water ghosts.

Huang Miao looked ahead calmly, completely ignoring the constant calls from behind, and explained to Wang Ye:
“Almost every river has water ghosts, which are the souls of people who drowned in the river and could not be reincarnated.

Only by finding a substitute can they be freed from here.

But the water ghosts here are a bit unlucky, because even if they find a substitute, they can't leave.

Because this is the Dragon House, everything will be trapped here.

The salvage bureau can only salvage the bodies but cannot salvage the souls.

Therefore, one of the compulsory lessons that every corpse retriever must learn on the Yellow River is to never turn back when hearing a sound.

Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:

"Then could these water ghosts be what we are looking for?"

Huang Miao shook his head slightly:

“These water ghosts should have drowned no more than five years ago.

What we are looking for are the vengeful spirits that have been trapped for 12 years.

The vengeful spirits are very vigilant and will not mindlessly repeat the same thing like these water ghosts.

In order to lure them out, we must find their bodies."

As he spoke, Huang Miao looked at the cigarette in his hand, then exerted a little force and stabilized the raft on the river.

Then, he gently pointed to the river in front of him:

"It should be here..."

As Huang Miao spoke, he picked up a long pole from the side. The head of the pole had been carefully processed by him and was tied with a special iron hook. The hook was divided into three teeth and the overall length was nearly two meters.

Wang Ye had always been curious about this thing. Seeing Huang Miao holding it in his hand, he couldn't help but ask:

"What is this thing used for?"

Huang Miao weighed the iron hook in his hand and explained:
"This is called iron wormwood, one of the essential tools for corpse fishermen. In the turbulent Yellow River, there are dangers everywhere, and corpse fishermen usually don't dive rashly. They will use this iron wormwood to reach into the river to test it. Experienced corpse fishermen can even determine the location of the corpse through the touch transmitted by the iron wormwood. The three teeth on the head of the iron wormwood are used to hook the clothes of the corpse and pull the corpse out of the river."

As he spoke, Huang Miao slowly put the Artemisia annua into the water.

Zhuge Qing on the shore witnessed everything that had just happened and became more and more interested in Huang Miao. He could only vaguely see Huang Miao holding a simple pole and reaching into the river.

You know, the salvage bureau's equipment is much more professional than this. Even after the case became more and more serious, the salvage bureau used radar to conduct underwater detection, but no bodies were found.

Does Huang Miao think that he can compete with the professional equipment of the salvage bureau with this simple long pole in his hand?

Zhuge Qing would never have believed it in the past, but after seeing Huang Miao and Wang Ye display abilities he had never seen before, this scene made him particularly curious and he became unsure.

Huang Miao and Wang Ye always bring him surprises time and time again. Will it be the same this time?

"Rumble..."

The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if they were right above people's heads, pressing them down to the point of suffocation. The surging waves seemed to know that they could not stop Huang Miao, Wang Ye and others, and after the water monkey came out of the water, they became much calmer.

But this sudden calm makes the surroundings seem even more dangerous.

Wang Ye had been keeping a close eye on the water, and the ominous feeling in his heart was growing stronger.

At this moment, Huang Miao stopped what he was doing. He glanced at Wang Ye and then said:

"Found it. Even though there's only one, the others shouldn't be far away."

Wang Ye and Huang Miao, who were standing on the raft, could not see the situation in the water at all, but Huang Miao was able to accurately judge that he had found the body through the touch transmitted back by the wormwood.

Wang Ye, who didn't understand the mystery, was naturally very curious.

"wrong……"

Just as he was about to ask, Huang Miao spoke again, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Ye saw Huang Miao take the Artemisia annua back and throw it aside.

"What's wrong? Why don't you fish out the body?"

Wang Ye looked at Huang Miao with a bit of surprise in his eyes and asked in confusion.

But Huang Miao frowned and sighed deeply:

"If I'm not mistaken, the body in the water is a standing corpse."

"Standing corpse?"

Wang Ye naturally knew that the so-called standing corpse was a body standing upright in the water after death. He also heard from Huang Miao that one of the three major taboos for corpse collectors was not to retrieve a standing corpse in the water.

But he didn't know why the corpse standing in the water could not be fished out.

Huang Miao seemed to know the doubts in Wang Ye's heart, so he took the lead in explaining:
"Corpse fishers believe that corpses standing in the water are filled with deep resentment. Salvaging such corpses is not only very dangerous, but may even bring disaster to the body and cause suffering to the family. And this is indeed the case. The reason why the corpse stands in the water is because there is a resentment in the chest. This resentment prevents the corpse from floating in the water normally, but stands still. The resentment accumulated by those people who disappeared 12 years ago over the years is much greater than I imagined."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye subconsciously tightened the black gold ancient sword in his hand:

"So what should we do now? Are we going to return empty-handed?" (End of this chapter)
