Chapter 18 There is a problem

The Five Elements Lantern was stolen, and my intuition told me that it was something that had been planned for a long time. I just don’t know if he stole the Five Elements Lantern to release the contents of the red coffin, or if he had other motives.

I saw that Zhao Mayi knew a lot of things, so I asked him what was in the red coffin. Zhao Mayi knocked on the end of the cigarette pot and put it away before saying: "What else can be in the coffin? It's a dead person. If you want to know, climb in and have a look."

Isn’t that enough?”

I gave him a big eye roll and followed his words and asked: "What will happen tomorrow night if we can't find the Five Elements Lantern?"

"What should I do?" Zhao Mayi looked at me, her eyes shining brightly, "If I can't find it, just think of yourself as a pawn and crawl in to restrain it!"

"Uncle Zhao, stop joking with me!" I grinned, smiling reluctantly.

Zhao Mayi's face turned serious and she said, "I'm not joking. You have all five elements in your body. If you burn your essence and blood to create yin and yang, you can survive the whole night."

Burning essence and blood will shorten your life span. I hurriedly said: "But that's not a long-term solution."

Zhao Mayi chuckled, "Do you still know how to be afraid?"

"Isn't that right?" I said flatteringly. Zhao Mayi stopped teasing me and started talking seriously.

Zhao Mayi said that when he first salvaged the coffin, he found a stone tablet under the coffin with runes engraved on it, which should have been used to suppress the red coffin. At that time, they were supposed to salvage the coffin together, but the floods rose too much that day.

It's too late.

Later, Liu Yuan built the Five Elements Lantern, and the stone slab matter was dropped.

But Zhao Mayi told me that if I want to go down to the Mang River, no one must be buried in the water within the past month, otherwise the Yin energy of the Mang River will be strong, and I will have a narrow escape if I go down.

I calculated that no one in the village has been buried in the water in the past three months. However, the day after tomorrow, Mrs. Li is going to go into the water, and we have to salvage the stone tablet, and we have to do it at dawn.

Zhao Mayi nodded and smoked another cigarette, seemingly worried about He Fakui's body.

But I was worried about Yizhuang. As for finding He Fakui's body, I didn't want to get involved, so I didn't even mention it during the chat.

"Uncle Zhao, you have been floating on the water all year round and are known as the Hunjiang Dragon. You must know the Mang River very well. Do you know what is in the Mang River?"

I was afraid that Zhao Mayi might misunderstand that I was just out of curiosity and didn't want to answer, so she explained: "My mother was killed by something in the Mang River, and her body was returned to the water." Speaking of my mother, I felt a little sad.

, but I swore not to shed tears anymore, so I just held back my tears.

"I can't explain what's going on in the Mang River. What's in it can only be understood if you see it with your own eyes. It's almost dawn. Go to Li's house to find me early tomorrow morning. Then pay attention to the people in the village to see if anyone shows up to me.

The two symptoms described." Zhao Mai didn't seem to want to talk too much about Manghe, so she stood up, patted her butt and went down the mountain.

After Zhao Mayi left, I found an oil lamp, lit it, and carefully inspected the Five Elements Array. The five elements interacted with each other, and the yin and yang qi continued to converge, forming a five-color mist that gathered on the red coffin.

But as Zhao Mayi said, these town objects cannot last long.

I walked around a few times, but nothing came out of sight. In addition, without the light of the five-element lamp, I felt a little lonely and completely sleepless. I sat on the bed alone in a daze, thinking about a lot of problems.

The Python River is just a river. No matter what is in it, I always believe that only people can be harmed.

Also, the words Mr. Li San said, which cannot be seen in the comprehensive reminder, remind me that there is something wrong with the body. I feel that the old man is not talking nonsense.

But it is also true that Li Ergou is dead, so the Li Ergou that Mr. Li saw could only be someone else.

After speculation, there is a possibility that the man pretended to be Li Ergou and killed He Fakui, and tricked me into burying He Fakui in Longbei Mountain. Then the power of the Five Elements Lantern was suppressed, and he took the opportunity to steal the Five Elements Lantern.

Thinking of this, I rolled out of bed, took Liu Laodao's gourd, went down the mountain in the dark, and went straight to Uncle Li's house.
