"The full name of Chenzhou is Chenzhou County. It was at the end of the Yuan Dynasty when the world was in chaos. In order to avoid the war, people in this small county did something that was harmful to the world. Although they escaped
He was looted by a bunch of rebels, but he was punished by God."
"That night there was thunder and lightning, and the surrounding residents said there was a sound like the sky was falling apart. It should be the earth dragon turning over, causing the nearby Mata Lake to flood. Then the entire Chenzhou County was directly submerged by the flood, and all sank to the bottom of the lake.
go."
"Of course, that happened hundreds of years ago. No one knows whether it is true or not, but Li Ju has a man named Sai Zhangfei whose hometown is in Mata Lake. Wouldn't you know if you asked him to come and ask?
.”
So soon, Fang Linyan and Li San found the people from Xiangjiao, but Zhang Fei didn't sell Li San's face. Fortunately, Li Ju took a large sum of money from Fang Linyan and was in Tianjin.
Crazy whoring and gambling...
Ahem, even though Li Ju looks gloomy and indifferent, who can bypass the four major barriers of wine, sex, wealth and wealth? Even an upright man like Wang Wu is good at wine and loves face, so he is afraid of losing his reputation.
own reputation for righteousness.
As soon as Li Ju came forward, Sai Zhangfei must have known everything, saying that there was indeed an ancient city under Mata Lake, but there was no chance to see it usually. It had to be done in winter when the water was shallow and the weather was good.
On a clear day, you can vaguely see the winding buildings underwater, which indeed look like the buildings in the county town.
After hearing such strange things, not only Fang Linyan, but also Li San and others were amazed. Li Ju couldn't help but said curiously:
"If that's the case, why doesn't anyone go out to hunt for treasures? The water in Mata Lake is only two to three feet deep, right? I heard that there are people in the south who grew up by the sea and have lived in the water since they were young, so it is also called water.
Damn it, this kind of person can make an airbag from pig urine, and with two or three airbags, he can stay underwater for half a day."
Sai Zhangfei shook his head and said:
"Growing up, I have always heard of people going treasure hunting. Even people from the Navy were attracted to it, but without exception, they all died underwater!"
"Older people say that the underwater city is so evil that the residents there have already turned into hundreds of evil spirits and are waiting for people to go into the water to find their substitutes!"
"However, these statements are all rumors and cannot be counted. However, my uncle has always liked to go fishing during his spare time. He once experienced an evil thing personally and later became seriously ill because of it. Don't ask me.
He refused to say anything."
Fang Linyan continued:
"Then do brothers Zhang Wangzhuang know where they are?"
When he asked this question, he knew that there would be no easy answer. After all, Chenzhou in this address actually refers to an underwater ancient city.
Sure enough, Sai Zhangfei shook his head:
"I've definitely never heard of this before."
After getting this information, Fang Linyan knew something in his heart. He simply took out his banknotes and launched a silver bullet offensive:
"Two hundred taels, brother, I wonder if you would be interested in accompanying me to visit my hometown?"
Then Fang Linyan looked at Li Ju next to him:
"If Senior Brother Li is willing to go, it will be a thousand taels."
Li Ju raised his chin slightly and looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle. He looked very arrogant, but he shouted in his heart:
"Why don't you go, you bastard? You only got one thousand taels for running around. That fool like Wang Wu went to the port to escort the goods. After a life-and-death trip, he only got eighty or ninety taels!"
In fact, under normal circumstances, the chief escort can get two to three hundred silver into his account after a trip to the country. However, Wang Wu is generous, generous and loyal, and even the escort who has just arrived can get it.
Received a full bounty ----- Under normal circumstances, it would be considered kind for the chief escort to give him some bonus money.
Therefore, Li Ju just remained reserved for two or three seconds, then coughed and asked the subordinate next to him:
"Are we okay recently?"
This subordinate is a real person:
"Replying to Senior Brother, didn't the Senior Sister over there at the lantern make an appointment with you to discuss something important tonight?"
Li Ju immediately hated this bastard so much in his heart that he decided to go out to preach next time. He would perform nail rolling, chest crushing, and invulnerability. His face was still intact.
He said sensibly:
"Senior Sister has sent a message earlier, saying that the date will be rescheduled, but you didn't know about it. If that's the case, then just make a trip."
***
One day later,
Fang Linyan has arrived at Mada Lake. The area of this lake is not small. Although it is not as big as the famous Eight Hundred Liang Shanshui Lake, it is not much different from it.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was shining on the lake. You could see the shadows of sails, and the endless sea of reeds, constantly swaying in the wind. The scenery was very beautiful. According to Sai Zhangfei, the surrounding area of Horseshoe Lake was at least as beautiful as
There are thousands of fishermen making a living on the lake, so it should be easy to find out what's going on.
After a round of visits, the location of the underwater city was immediately locked. After all, in today’s jargon, this place is about to become an internet celebrity. There are treasure hunters and immortals every year.
People come here to explore and visit.
As soon as Fang Linyan smashed his money, the country people here immediately knew everything and talked about it, but there are various opinions:
Some people say there are thousands of scapegoats down there,
Some people say that the water surface looks calm there, but in fact there are many undercurrents, and it is easy to get sucked in and unable to escape.
The most exaggerated theory is that there is a water eye below, which leads directly to the East China Sea. Once you are accidentally sucked in, it will be difficult to survive.
...In short, it can be said that there are different opinions.
But even now, Fang Linyan still wants to hear what Sai Zhangfei's uncle has to say. This is one of his own, a witness to the underwater city sinking incident. From his mouth, he should be able to get first-hand information.
?
Soon, Sai Zhangfei came over with his uncle, whose surname was Liu, and others called him Old Man Liu.
This was a Chinese farmer who seemed honest and friendly at first glance. He was very frightened after seeing so many people. Fang Linyan walked over and comforted him, and then offered him inducements. Soon the old man told him all about his experience.
Talked about it.
It probably means that he took five ospreys with him to go fishing on the lake, but he didn't expect a heavy fog, so he accidentally strayed into the evil waters of Shen City------
-According to word of mouth from local fishermen, it is also a restricted area and you would never go there.
Because of this, the old man made two nets at that time, and was very happy to find that he had harvested both. This is very rare! You know, he came back empty-handed after being out for a long time today, and his family was still waiting for him to catch fish to sell.
I will buy two kilograms of rice for cooking later.
Previously, Fang Linyan used modern people's thinking and thought that even if you can't catch fish in this good place, you can't sell eels, frogs, mussels, snails, loaches and the like for money? Why do you have to point to the fish to sell them?
money?
Later, when I visited a fisherman’s house, I realized that this was an era when materials were extremely scarce. These river delicacies had to be delicious and had more oil, such as spicy millet, watercress, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, chicken essence, pepper, and five-spice powder.
There must be no shortage of such things.
These condiments... ahem, can these poor people have them?
The way they cook fish is to either boil it and add salt, or steam it and add salt. Frying it and adding salt is the way to entertain guests!
Therefore, at that time, no one really ate things like eels and loaches unless they were in a hurry. Think about the taste of salt after boiling them.
Another important point is that logistics was not developed at that time. Even if the fish was caught, buyers would still be a big problem!
You said that if you sell it near the surrounding villages, your life will be very tight. Haha, if you want to eat fish, won’t people go to the lake to catch it themselves? Even if someone is willing to pay, it must be ridiculously low.
It takes at least three or four hours to walk to the nearest county town. If you take the fish there to sell them, nine out of ten of them will be dead.
So at that time, some fishmongers bought special fish-carrying boats. There was a living water tank separated in the bottom of the boat. There was only a vine net in the bottom of the boat, and fish could be caught at any time in it.
It interacts with the external river water, so live fish can be transported to the county town adjacent to the river.
Therefore, after the old man set up two nets in succession and had a harvest, all he wanted to do was to net another one. However, after he netted this time, he found not only two fish in the net, but also a piece of the bottom of the water was broken.
The tiles were fished out!
This moment suddenly frightened him out of his wits, because there were not many places where he could fish out Powadang on this vast lake. Not only that, the fact that there were fish in three consecutive nets meant another thing. The rest
The fishermen have never been here to catch fish before.
Obviously, the old man finally realized that he had caused a big disaster. He probably broke into the restricted area of the underwater city in the fog, and he found that the fog seemed to be bigger.
In this case, the old man suddenly thought of a method passed down from ancient times, which was to release all the fish he caught first, because it was said that the fish here were transformed by the ghosts in Shen City.
Then he could only kill the ospreys he was carrying with tears in his eyes, slit the throats of each one and bled them, and then sprinkled the blood into the water.
Of course, I kept kowtowing on the bow of the boat and begging from the bottom of my mouth.
In the end, when four ospreys were killed, it actually worked.
The fog began to dissipate, and the old man hurriedly rowed the boat as if to escape for his life. Only when he got home did he realize that he had forgotten to throw something back into the lake, which was the half-picked-up tile.
The family was starving and the children were crying from hunger, but there was no end in sight. His wife's natal brother came to the door and said he was looking to borrow a medicine jar from his sister. As he was leaving, he saw the medicine jar lying next to him.
The old tiles suddenly lit up my eyes and I wanted to take them with me.
Uncle Sai Zhangfei was immediately shocked when he heard this. Everything else is easy to talk about, but can this evil thing be lent out?
When I turn around, I will punt the boat to that place and then throw it down. Otherwise, I am afraid that ghosts will knock on the door in the middle of the night.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law's brother also said that people's lives were at stake here. It turned out that several villages near his home were affected by the plague. All men, women, and children were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. He invited a famous doctor to come and see him, and he also prescribed prescriptions.
Got the medicine.
As a result, the doctor said that this prescription is the right medicine for the disease and will definitely cure the disease. However, there is one thing that is a bit difficult to solve, which is to find old bricks and ancient tiles to use as a primer to decoct the medicine together.
The older this medicinal introduction is, the more powerful it will be in restraining the plague in the body!
At this time, doctors prescribed prescriptions with all kinds of strange medicines, so the villagers were accustomed to this, and even thought that the medicines were good.
I don’t know whether the medicine was effective or just lucky. After my brother used the broken tile as a medicine introduction, the medicine really cured the disease. However, the disease was not very serious and he died in a month or two.
Not that kind of person.
Seeing that their natal brother was cured of his illness, the rest of the village came to borrow the medicine from his natal brother, and found that it was indeed effective.
After curing more than a dozen people one after another, Sai Zhangfei's uncle was also worried about throwing this thing into the lake, so he took the initiative to come and get it back.
As a result, as soon as my uncle was about to go out to board the ship the next day, someone came to borrow this "medicine introduction". He must have heard that his aunt's brother's medicine was very effective.
Of course the uncle refused, saying that I would take this thing back to Shenhu immediately to avoid being haunted by resentful ghosts. The life of your patient is life, and my life is just paper, right?
The patient had no choice at all, so he just paid for it and wanted to buy it. At this time, Sai Zhangfei's uncle was a quick-thinking man. When he saw the high price offered by this man, he refused, saying that he was only borrowing it and not selling it.
, bring this broken tile to the door to cook medicine for him. The patient not only has to pay, but also has to take care of his food.
As a result, the patient's illness was really cured after drinking the medicine. As the reputation of this broken tile spread throughout the countryside, it began to be called Yin tile, and more and more people came to seek medicine.
More, the key is that although its efficacy is not 100%, it has a recovery rate of almost 50%.
Sai Zhangfei's uncle also became rich because of this, and relied on this piece of shady tile to enter a well-off life where he could eat without having to work hard.
And his experience has also caused many people to want to make a fortune by fishing for a piece of broken tiles or broken bricks. You must know that this thing is not a commodity, but a cornucopia of money trees! If you fish it up, you can even pass it on to others.
Children and grandchildren, let them have enough food and clothing.
However, these people who went there either returned empty-handed, or they capsized their boats directly to sacrifice to the lake god... However, there were still a few people who killed thousands of people and randomly found a piece of tile to pretend to be a yin tile, and ran on it.
Make myself feel very uncomfortable.
After hearing what the old man said, Fang Linyan of course had a clear mind and knew the implication. After laughing, he threw out an ingot of ten taels of silver:
"Take out this tile of yours for me to see. I don't want yours. I'll just use it for two or three days. Your nephew will keep it for the whole process and then ask your nephew to bring it back. Is this enough money?"
