I, after failing the exam, went to Xiangxi to drive away corpses!

The next day, in the evening.

The sun was about to set, and crimson sunset filled the sky.

The fishing boat sings late!

In the lower reaches of the Yellow River, the water is calm and not as turbulent as the upper reaches.

The fishermen there have begun to close their nets and harvest the fruits of their day's labor.

On the river as far as the edge can be seen, there are more than ten fishing boats parked densely.

There were two or three people standing on each fishing boat.

They kept pulling the fishing line, retrieving the fishing nets that had been spread on the river in the morning, and chatting with the fishermen on the surrounding fishing boats.

Conversing about some ordinary things, nothing more than what the harvest was like

"Lao Zhang, how many pounds of fish were there yesterday?"

"It’s still a few hundred kilograms!"

"It’s strange. I almost had a thousand catties of fish yesterday."

"Yes, I don’t know if the river god in the river had a kind heart these days and suddenly let all these fish into the net."

"If only it had stayed like this, I would have made a fortune!"

"Haha, let’s take a look at today’s harvest!"

"……"

Strangely enough, these fishermen have caught several times as many fish in their nets in the past two days as before.

And... it's not just one or two days, but it has lasted for three or four days.

It seems... something is chasing the fish in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, driving all the fish downstream.

At this time, one of the fishermen named Lao Zhang stopped holding the fishing line. It seemed that the fishing net was very heavy.

There was an expression of surprise on his face, and he quickly pulled the fishing line to the machine where he put it on, preparing to use the machine to pull out the fishing net.

At the same time, he did not forget to show off to the people around him, and said proudly:"Old guys, my net here can't pull it, I'm afraid there's something big in it!"

"Isn't it? Has your character exploded?"

"Come on, come on, let's see what a big deal you are"

"Lao Zhang is feeling proud again. Let’s see if he can break the thousand-pound record today."

"……"

Everyone stopped what they were doing while talking and laughing, and all looked at the net on Lao Zhang's fishing boat that was slowly being pulled up by the machine.

There was a bit of anticipation in their eyes, wanting to see what was in the fishing nets.

"Suddenly... suddenly... suddenly……"

The sound of machines running constantly echoed over the river.

The fishing net on the fishing boat was slowly pulled up, and the contents of the fishing net gradually emerged from the water.

"Huh?"

"It doesn’t seem like a fish!"

I saw that there was no fish in the huge fishing net, but a hint of darkness and a corner of copper.

The fishermen around them frowned slightly when they saw this, as if they noticed something was wrong.

They narrowed their eyes slightly and stared closely at the fish that was still rising.

Under their concerned gazes, the fishing net was completely pulled onto the fishing boat.

There were indeed only a few fish in the net, but what was actually caught was a coffin and a copper bell!

"this……"

"what's the situation?"

"Could it be that you dug a grave?"

A group of fishermen whispered and were surprised.

They have lived by the Yellow River since they were children. Naturally, they have heard many legends about the Yellow River, which have been passed down since ancient times, and the mystery of the Yellow River is also obvious. It is said that there are many secrets buried deep in the Yellow River.

At this moment, such a strange thing was salvaged, but it was the only fishermen who had ever seen it in their lives. They were excited and scared at the same time.

……

When they looked closely, they saw that the coffin was completely black, about three meters long, two meters wide, and one person tall.

He was tightly tied up with arm-thick hemp ropes. He didn't know how long he had been in the water. The hemp ropes were also dark, full of holes, and had been corroded to the point of disgrace.

The bronze bell is about half a person tall.

The surface is covered with green patina and strange patterns are carved on it.

Zhong Di didn't know why it was sealed with something.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang's fishing boat is big, otherwise these things would really not be able to fit in.

At this time, everyone was completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

They never dreamed that they would fish out such things without catching any fish.

At this time, a fisherman named Lao Li suddenly lit up and thought of something.

He quickly waved his hand and greeted everyone who was still stunned:"Don't be stunned, open it and take a look! There have been many tombs dug on the edge of the Yellow River before. Maybe this is from which tomb, inside There may be some treasure there!"

After hearing Lao Li's words, everyone suddenly woke up and their eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn’t the purpose of fishing by yourself just to make money?

If there really is any priceless treasure inside, how about fishing?

They looked at each other without hesitation, and immediately worked together to quickly pull down the fishing net.

Then they all looked at Lao Zhang, waiting for his next decision to see which one to open first!

Lao Zhang thought for a moment and thought it would be better to start with the coffin, which was easier to open.

So he pointed to the coffin, then waved his hand suddenly, and said proudly:"Let's start with this coffin first!"

Hearing Lao Zhang's words, other fishermen also immediately took action.

They took out knives from their pockets and cut the thick hemp ropes tied around the coffin in a few strokes.

Then they all came to one side of the coffin, put their hands on the coffin lid, and then worked together!

"clang——！"

With a dull sound of wood hitting wood, the coffin lid crashed onto the deck of the fishing boat.

Everyone stood on tiptoe, stretched out their necks, and looked into the coffin.

However, just by looking at it, I saw that there was nothing valuable in the coffin. It could even be said that there was nothing.

There is only... a human skeleton in a coffin!

There are white flowers and flowers, and the bones are densely intertwined.

However, the skeleton seems to contain only the trunk and limbs.

The skull of the head is missing!

The weirdest thing is that in the hollow mouth and eye sockets of the skeleton, there are actually three small copper bells, or rather - bells!

"hiss——！！！！"

Their eyes suddenly widened, they gasped, and stumbled back a few steps.

You look at me, I look at you, my eyes are full of fear

"Why is this coffin all a skeleton?"

"besides……"

"Where did the skull go?"

"Weren't they all beheaded and thrown into this coffin?"

"It scared me to death!"

Lao Li, who had reminded everyone before, was a little confused now.

But then, his eyes suddenly burst out with a brighter light, and he quickly waved to everyone again and said excitedly:"Yes, yes, It must be!"

"I'm afraid these coffins were all buried with him!"

"Then there must be funerary objects inside this sealed copper bell!"

"Burial objects!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense.

People died for money and birds died for food.

The fear in their hearts also dissipated a lot, but no one dared to look inside the coffin anymore.

They just walked to the bronze bell and surrounded it. Get up

"give it to me!"

Among them, a relatively strong fisherman took a step forward and moved his wrist.

Then he first moved the bronze bell to a position where it could just catch the bronze bell, and then turned the bronze bell upside down.

Then he used the dagger in his hand to The tail of the handle was aimed at the mouth of the bell, which seemed to have been poured with iron juice, and then he smashed it down hard!

"click——！"

The sealed area at the bell entrance has long been severely eroded by the river water.

Now I have received such a violent impact again.

Suddenly, the response was shattered!

With full expectations, everyone immediately looked inside the bronze bell.

They only took one look, and they felt like they were struck by lightning!

My heart felt like I had been punched hard, and I had difficulty breathing.

"Grass!"

Under their horrified gaze, there was no treasure in the bronze bell!

Instead, it was a skull filled with human heads!

At the same time, there were colorful tiny snakes making hissing sounds, densely intertwined and entangled. It's so incomprehensible that from time to time, a few small snakes get in from the skull's eye sockets and come out from the nostrils or mouth.

"turn out to be……"

"The skulls of the skeletons in the coffin are inside the bell!"

"only……"

"This bronze bell has been sealed underwater for who knows how many years"

"Why are there so many little snakes living in the clock?"

Everyone's thoughts were in confusion, and their heads were filled with countless question marks.

They wanted to escape, but their feet seemed to be stained with glue and they couldn't move.

They didn't obey orders at all!

"……"

Quiet.

Except for the sound of the wind brought by the breeze and the rushing sound of the river.

Besides, there was no other sound.

There was lingering fear in everyone's eyes, their bodies were trembling slightly, and no one spoke for a while.

"Gudu——"

For a moment, the silence was broken by the sound of someone swallowing.

Only then did everyone wake up from a dream.

It was only now that they felt that the body belonged to them, and they staggered back a few steps. There were even... a few timid fishermen who had already sat down on the ground.

"So weird!"

"That’s right, you can’t keep this thing!"

"Just throw it into the river again!"

"Agreed, let them go back where they came from!"

"It's unlucky, it's too unlucky. Don't hit the River Dragon King."

"……"

Everyone was talking to each other, and now their heads were so frightened that they remembered the many taboos of the Yellow River, and soon decided to sink the coffin and the bell into the Yellow River again.

They suppressed the fear in their hearts, threw the bronze bell into the coffin, and then closed the coffin lid.

Then, everyone worked together to push the coffin into the Yellow River from the deck of Lao Zhang's fishing boat.

"Plop——！"

Along with the sound of falling water, the coffin splashed with water, and Gugu sank toward the bottom of the Yellow River.

Everyone looked at the coffin that disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the fear in their hearts seemed to sink with the coffin.

They all let out a long sigh of relief. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they couldn't help but have the same thought in their hearts.

"But don't get into trouble."

Then, the fishermen stopped their boats and docked, and dispersed while talking about each other.

The sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun was gradually replaced by night, shrouding the rolling Yellow River, inexplicably adding a touch of gloom and mystery.

In the middle of the night, the full moon hung high. It was getting dark.

Except for the occasional barking of dogs and the chirping of cicadas, people had already fallen asleep.

"Duang…Duang…Duang……"

Suddenly, a bell rang.

The voice was rich, with some resentment, and the tone was long, sounding very melodious and desolate. It came from the bank of the Yellow River not far away, and echoed over the entire fishing village.

Suddenly, there were no more dogs barking, no more cicadas chirping and frogs croaking.

The whole world seemed to have no other sound except the sound of bells.

One hour... two hours... three hours……

……

Time passes minute by minute.

The bells ring very regularly.

Every half hour, it will continue to sound for more than ten minutes, and then disappear. Waiting for the end of the next half hour, it will be remembered again.

This sound lasted until the sun rose the next day, and then stopped completely.

At this time, almost at the same time.

Every household in the fishing village opened the door together with a tacit understanding, and people came out of the room one after another.

These people are none other than the fishermen who salvaged the coffin and the bell from the Yellow River yesterday evening.

At this time, everyone had huge dark circles under their eyes and looked tired.

The bell was so loud yesterday that they naturally heard it and were awakened.

But after hearing it, no one dared to come out and take a look.

After all...

I still remember clearly what I did yesterday evening, and I naturally guessed that it might have something to do with the coffin and copper bell that I fished out!

Then who dares to go out and watch?

At this moment, many fishermen looked at each other and started talking.

"Did you all hear that?"

"Looking at everyone like this, do you still need to ask?"

"This thing is not right, we should report it to the relevant departments!"

"I think it's ok, but what if there is still this kind of movement tonight, do you want to prevent people from sleeping?"

"……"

Almost without saying a few words, everyone quickly came to the conclusion of the discussion.

Immediately afterwards,

Lao Zhang didn't waste any more time. He immediately took out his mobile phone and started to contact the relevant departments.

……

This day.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The lower reaches of the Yellow River, near the shore of Tianya Terrace.

What is different from usual is that there is an extra tent here today.

There were four men inside the tent.

They were none other than scientific researchers from the relevant departments invited by the municipal bureau after the fishermen in the fishing village called the police.

It turned out that after the four of them received the call from the city bureau, they suddenly thought of the rumors by the Yellow River and speculated whether there were any ancient tombs that were about to be unearthed!

Although they don't know how to explain the strange things inside the bronze bell, they can't understand that a snake sealed for hundreds or thousands of years can still be alive, let alone how to explain the fact that they can still hear the bell ringing at night.

But out of curiosity and a responsible attitude, they decided to come to this fishing village first to see what was going on.

After the four people arrived at the fishing village in the afternoon, they wanted to salvage the coffin and the bronze bell for inspection.

It's just that... no matter how hard the fishermen fished at the place where the coffin sank, they could never catch it again.

In desperation, they had no choice but to give up searching for the coffin and the bell, and instead prepared to listen to the bells at night.

So I set up a tent on the bank of the Yellow River, wanting to experience it more closely and observe it for the first time.

Because they suspected that the sound of the bell might be related to the topography. For example, there was a wind tunnel for ventilation, which happened to blow the bronze bell, causing an echo.

At this time, inside the tent.

A scientific researcher wearing glasses pondered for a moment, then turned to the other three people and said:"After coming here today, I specifically asked about the appearance of the coffin and the bronze bell, as well as the situation of the bones stored inside. I think this The large tomb is most likely a tomb from the Northern Song Dynasty!"

"The body was cut into pieces and buried with him."

At this time, another scientific researcher wearing a hat came up with a term and said with some emotion:"This kind of burial method originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and ended in the Northern Song Dynasty. There will never be such a cruel burial method in later generations.."

The remaining two scientific expedition personnel also nodded in agreement.

The four of them looked at me, and I looked at you, with confusion in their eyes, and a big question mark rose in their hearts.——

"Who from the Northern Song Dynasty would be buried here?"

The four people's attention was all focused on thinking, and they did not notice that there were suddenly a few black shadows in the tent behind them.

……

At this time, outside the tent.

Lin Hao and his group were standing outside.

It turned out that when Lin Hao just passed by here, he didn't want to stop and wanted to leave directly.

After all... this place is not far from the training base of the national mountaineering team. Finish your work early and receive your rewards early.

However, he didn't mean to, but he happened to hear the conversation of the scientific expedition personnel in the tent, and at the same time, he thought of the vision he saw by the Yellow River yesterday night.

So he stopped and listened to see what the four scientific researchers had discovered.

But at the end, I only heard the conclusion that it was a tomb from the Northern Song Dynasty.

"It seems they don't know either."

Lin Hao smiled and shook his head. He was not entangled in his heart.

If you know it, you know it. If you don't know, it won't be a loss.

But he knows very well that this can never be a cemetery, because there is absolutely nothing about the vision and the cemetery. Relationship.

I'm afraid this weird thing in the Yellow River is not that simple!

Just when he was about to shake the purple bell and leave with the seven corpses, suddenly the familiar voice of the Royal Sister sounded in his ears.

"Ding, the system releases a task!"

Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking that these corpses haven't been sent to the training base yet. There was just a trigger mission to open the Walking Corpse Village. Why would there be another mission now?

However, he was just curious and had no clue. dissatisfied

"A year passes, every day becomes less and less"

"There are more tasks to improve your strength……"

"It’s not too late to be happy! Lin Hao was secretly amused for a moment, and then he calmed down and continued to listen to what tasks the system was going to announce.

The system did not keep Lin Hao waiting for a long time, and then prompted:"In ancient times, there was a famous person who used his corpse to suppress the Yellow River. Thousands of years have passed. , salvage the mysterious ancient corpses from the Yellow River and send them back to their hometown to let the deceased rest in peace."

"Reward: Host completed
