Wangjiang Tower is a very evil place. In the past, when the small county town was still a big wharf, Wangjiang Tower would always have accidents. People often drowned there!
Not to mention the little children who were swimming and playing in the river, there were also adults who were proficient in water skills who were doing business and running boats. Every now and then, someone would drown in Wangjiang Tower.
Later, some people said that there was a water eye under the water at Wangjiang Tower. Of course, there was no Wangjiang Tower at that time. Some businessmen raised funds and built a Zhenjiang Tower on the bank where accidents often happened to suppress the water eye. In the future, I don’t know.
Why was it renamed Wangjiang Tower?
It is said that the effect was good, and there have been no accidents since then. This is what Ding Li heard from some elderly people.
Of course, just as there are many versions of folklore in every place, Ding Li has heard of at least a dozen versions of the legend of Wangjiang Tower. Ding Li thinks this is the most reliable one!
The other ones are all too ridiculous. It has something to do with the Eight Immortals, Emperor Qianlong, etc. It all seems like a fantasy. There is another one that sounds quite reliable, but the time doesn't seem to fit.
.
It is said that the Japanese invaders carried out a massacre in a small county town and buried two mass graves. Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, they built a Jade Emperor Pavilion and a Wangjiang Tower on top of the mass graves to suppress grievances.
However, this statement was too unreliable, so Ding Li just listened to it. Because the teacher at his school said that Wangjiang Tower was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, which was too long apart from the Anti-Japanese War.
Ding Li also couldn't figure out why Wan Zizi had such a big reaction to the destruction of Wangjiang Tower!
"Oh, what a sin!" Wan Laizi shouted: "These are all the money buried by the town!"
The so-called town burying money means that when major construction projects were carried out in ancient times, something would be buried in the foundation for the purpose of suppressing the town.
According to Wan Zizi, the Wangjiang Tower was the water eye of the river, where dragons were making trouble. Later, in order to suppress the water eye, a Wangjiang Tower was built on the bank of the river to suppress it. When the foundation was being laid, a sword was buried.
, and five large baskets of copper coins as a burial.
These copper coins were all buried money obtained from under Wangjiang Tower! Wan Laizi felt sad for a while, and said to Ding Li: "Who cares who deserves to die and who is unlucky. Look, this is Qianlong Tongbao."
This is oh..., good guy Shunzhi money. Tsk tsk, it was buried with the money of the Five Emperors back then!"
At this time, Wan Laizi became very happy and fiddled with the pile of copper coins: "What a treasure, let's see if my godfather makes you a payment of Five Emperors' money. It can earthquake disasters, eliminate evil spirits, destroy evil spirits, gather treasures, and make a fortune... What a fortune!"
Little lady, don’t look at it, my brother is just dazzled by it..."
Wan Zizi was so happy that he started to sing a tune. Ding Li didn't understand at this time, but later he realized that these were obscene words and clichés, and related to pornography...
Ding Li is confused now. He doesn't understand why Wan Laizi is so happy. Are these copper coins really antiques? Are they valuable? No, Ding Li doesn't know how many of these coins he has seen, especially those of Qianlong and Kangxi.
It's the street.
Only then did Wan Laizi come back to his senses. He coughed dryly and touched Ding Li's head: "Good boy, you have done a great job this time! Let's go and get all the money back. It's our turn."
Lucky... you'll be lucky, ahem..."
I think Wan Zizi himself knew that it was not good to sing these things in front of children, so he quickly stopped and took Ding Li excitedly to buy copper coins.
Wan Cripple couldn't get up from the car, so Ding Li carried Wan Cripple on his back and rode very fast. Wan Cripple was skinny and skinny, probably only weighing seventy or eighty kilograms. The kid had plenty of energy and didn't exert much effort.
Wan Laizi was happy and said to Ding Li: "Good boy, when you are two years older, your godfather will buy you a motorcycle to ride on. That guy, hey... take your godfather to your uncle's house to play!"
….
Ding Li was even more happy, and the two of them happily ran to the little fat man's house. The adults in his family had already come back. When it came to the matter of coming to collect copper coins, the adults didn't pay much attention. Instead, he said: "These copper coins are all worth it."
It's rusty, but I have better ones here, all of which were dug out of the river. Can you take a look?"
It turns out that this family works for a shipping company. Of course, the so-called shipping company does not have any shipping business. It just digs sand and gravel from the river.
Until now, you can see a big dredging ship parked in the middle of the river every day. It was not until the hydropower station was built that all the rivers here were used as water storage reservoirs, and sand and gravel digging was prohibited.
This man works on the boat. I wonder how many good things he got out of those white sand and pebbles?
Anyway, Wan Laizi's eyes became brighter and brighter when he saw what the man took out. Especially when he saw a clay jar, he almost jumped up.
"Do you know what this is? Do you dare to take it back?"
The man was so frightened that he felt dizzy: "Isn't this how you dare to break the jar? I even wanted to use it to pickle sauerkraut last time!"
Wan Laizi shook his head and shouted: "How dare you use the jar of dead people's ashes to pickle pickled vegetables? Do you dare to eat it? Can you eat it?"
When Wan Laizi asked, the man's expression turned ugly, and he threw the jar far away as if he was electrocuted.
"There are a lot of evil things in the river. I said you did it like this, haven't you encountered anything evil?"
The men in that family almost cried out of fear, and even the woman in that family turned pale: "There is something really evil. Do you think Lao Bai is..."
The man in the family forced a smile and said: "It's okay, I'm okay!"
Wan Laizi shook his head: "There are some things I didn't intend to say, but alas... I can't bear it. Your family is orphaned and widowed, alas!"
The family was completely frightened, and the woman asked with tears in her eyes: "How to fix it, how to fix it? Master Wan, please save my family! Master Wan, I know you, you are so powerful at seeing ghosts,
Save my family!"
Ding Li started to want to laugh. He knew that Wan Laizi was afraid that the man would charge too much, so he wanted to scare him. But now it seems that this is not the case?
There is a Five Ghost on Ding Li's body, and his ghost eyes have been opened. He didn't notice it at first, but now it seems that the man's canopy to the Yintang is completely black, like a dark cloud covering it. It's really strange that he is still alive and not dead!
Wan Laizi sighed: "Oh, who made me soft-hearted? Tell me, what happened to you? Are you in the river?"
The man nodded anxiously: "That's right, that's right. We seem to have encountered a water ghost, no, it's a water monster..."
The dredging boats are parked in the middle of the river all year round and rarely return to the shore. There are always sand transporting ships sailing to the middle of the river to collect the sand and gravel. This man happened to be on duty on the dredging boat some time ago.
It's not heavy, it's all mechanized.
Sand and stones are dug up by excavators and separated. These people have nothing to do and like to wander around to see if they can find some good things from the sand and stones at the bottom of the river.
That day, they really fished something good out of the river, a bronze jar, engraved with complicated and clumsy patterns. Although none of the people working on the ship could tell clearly what was so good about this bronze jar, they all estimated that
