Chapter 17 River Temple

Then the fat man walked to the big gold tooth and squatted down:

"Master Jin, I have offended you so much. I will lend you one of your teeth. Please bear with me."

When Big Jinya heard that he wanted to pull out his gold tooth, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands and refused to let go.

As soon as the fat man saw how strong he was, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and spit into the palm of his hand:

"Master Jin, it's convenient for you to exchange one tooth for one bead. It won't be a loss! At worst, I'll put a big one in for you when you get back!"

After saying that, the fat man started to pull the big gold tooth's hand, preparing to break his gold tooth.

Big Jinya's expression was extremely painful, and he couldn't bear it. He hurriedly blocked the fat man's arm with his hand:

"Oh, my fat man! Please let me go! I really can't handle this!"

Big Jinya screamed repeatedly, and in desperation, Big Jinya violently pushed the fat man away.

Then he took out another gold bar from under his arm and immediately threw it to the fat man.

The fat man stretched out his hand and caught it accurately:

"Hey! Mr. Jin, you are so good at hiding, why are you Doraemon? Let me search again, is there anything else?"

"No, Fatty, stop it, I really can't stand it!"

Da Jinya had a bitter look on his face, and his nose was full of tears. It seemed that he was really gone.

Then the fat man handed the gold bar to the boatman:

"Here! Five gold bars! If there are not enough, I will throw you down to feed the fish!"

"Enough, enough, enough, enough."

The boatman's eyes widened when he saw the five gold bars placed in front of him. He nodded like a pound of garlic and quickly gave the fat man the bronze eyeball.

Then he quickly put the five gold bars into his arms, fearing that the fat man would regret it.

The fat man handed me the eyeball. I took the eyeball and looked at it again.

I looked at the lines on the two eyeballs, and thought that the function of these two eyeballs was probably what the fat man said.

It is used to open something. As for whether it is used to open the stone door or open the mechanism, it is still unknown.

Looking at these two identical bronze eyes, I was basically sure that what we were going to steal this time was the big pit the boatman mentioned.

At this time, I suddenly thought of something, looked at the boatman and asked:

"Brother, tell me again, what happened to the pit after you discovered the bead?"

As for why I ask this, it is because if this hole has not been filled.

Then when we go to the tomb, we can just go down through that pit without having to go through the trouble of digging another hole.

But if it is filled in, you will have to find another shortcut to dig a new hole.

Not only is that time-consuming and labor-intensive, but if you rush in without knowing the specific structure of the tomb, if you hit a rice dumpling, it will be immediately ruined.

The boatman coughed, pretended to be the same as before, and said:

"Originally we thought about leaving it alone, but after a few days, a few outsiders suddenly came to our village.

They said that there is a river god living in this pit. If it is not dealt with,

Over time, the whole village will suffer, and a river temple must be built above this pit."

The fat man interrupted the boatman at this time:

"I said, what age is this? Do you still believe in the river god? Is this inappropriate feudal superstition?"

"Of course we don't believe it, but since the big hole appeared, we have been experiencing drought.

The heavens will not even drop a drop of rain, and the crops in the fields will die from drought. And with what they say, we are just treating a dead horse like a living horse."

When I heard this, I immediately felt something was wrong. I thought to myself that this person couldn't even get close to that big pit, so how could this temple be built?

Thinking about it, I asked the boatman:

"You just said that people will faint when they get close to that big pit. Why do you now say that a river temple was built on top of the pit?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment when he heard my question. Then he came to his senses and hurriedly asked the boatman:

"Yes, how can you build a temple even if you faint?"

The boatman frowned, and his face, which was already full of wrinkles, became even more ugly when he wrinkled it like this. He shouted again:

"When the temple was built, people from our village had no involvement at all. It was all built by a few outsiders. We wanted to help but they refused."

"Then they won't faint?"

Big Jinya came over at some point and squatted next to me, far away from the fat man. He probably had some psychological shadow.

"Probably so."

The boatman paused, his eyes a little blurry, as if he was thinking about something, and soon he continued:

"That's right! They all wear masks on their faces and have tubes inserted into them, as if they are going to the sea to fish."

"Mask? And a tube? Could it be..."

I said and looked at the fat man.

The fat man also thought of something at this time and looked at me:

"Bull-headed and horse-faced noodles! So professional! If you are so professional, then this temple must be very good!"

The boatman let out a long sigh, his expression a little sad:

"Alas! Lingta's mistress! After the construction was completed, we burned incense and worshiped all day long, but the weather was still in drought, and not a drop of rain fell.

It didn’t take long for those outsiders to pack up and leave. After that, we never went to that temple again, and the temple became deserted.”

After hearing this, I understood everything, and I couldn't help but sneer.

The fat man noticed my expression at this time and asked with a puzzled look:

"Arlene, why are you laughing?"

I snorted:

"Hmph, I think these outsiders think that building temples is fake, but robbing tombs is real!"

Seeing that the fat man was still puzzled, I explained:

"This group of people are actually robbing tombs under the guise of building a temple. Those bull-headed and horse-faced noodles are not something to prevent fainting, they are just something to make you faint."

In fact, it is the corpse gas in the tomb. If you smell the corpse gas too much, your body's performance will decline rapidly, which is why you will faint when you get close.

And the bull-headed and horse-faced masks they wear are used to protect against corpse aura."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but admire that group of people for even thinking of it.

Taking advantage of those people's low ideological awareness, they carried out tomb robbery under the guise of building temples to eliminate disasters.

If this wisdom were used in the right way, I would probably become an official at least.

Then the fat man asked:

"Then if it's really what you said, then is there nothing left in this tomb?"

I nodded. After all, when does a thief steal something and leave some for those who come after him?

Even if there were, probably only the coffin boards would be left, because they couldn't lift them.

The fat man sighed hurriedly and put on a boring posture:

"Then the tomb is empty, so what are you going to do? Let me tell you, let's go back and save the trip."

As soon as these words came out, the boatman immediately became unhappy and shouted:

"You can't go back here! The water level is so high that even if you are risking your lives by taking you there, you want to go back now. How is that possible?"

The fat man became anxious at this time and retorted:

"I said you, an old man, look quite honest, why are you so bad-tempered? Is it because you don't have enough money?"

As he said that, the fat man looked at the big golden tooth again:

"Master Jin! Pay for it! Let's go back!"
Chapter completed!
