Chapter 1: The Ghost Case of the Imperial Capital (Cursed Stone)

The boat arrived at Grandpa Huang's residence half an hour later, and the big boat was thrown by me to the Dragon King Temple, so we had to settle in his temporary hut, which was not far from the town.

Akui was going to travel overnight. Before leaving, I gave him two bronze objects, which were a gift. He repeatedly told me to give me the opportunity to go to Hunan and must find him.

I responded perfunctorily, and I didn't know when I could go where I could go, just treat it as a small promise.

After Akui left, Grandpa Huang placed his son and went to catch two fish in the fish pond. After working hard for a long time, he made a pot of fish soup for me, and then cut a bottle of old wine from the field. He said it was an old wine from more than ten years ago. He took me outside, basking in the moonlight, and set up a dinner party on the wooden table.

“Where are you going next?”

He took a sip of fish soup, then poured a sip of old wine into his mouth.

"I don't know yet, I plan to continue walking."

I didn't know where I was going. The old man asked me to come out to practice and said that the time was up and I would come to see me, but I had been waiting for almost no time, but I still didn't see his news.

"Young people always have to go to big places to see it. If it really doesn't work, go north to Kyoto. It's also good to see the world."

"Kyoto? The capital of China?"

"That's right. When I was young, I was a bit famous in Kyoto Antique Street. There are still a few old subordinates. If you go, you can go and find them." Grandpa Huang said, pouring me a glass of old wine. I postponed it. Grandpa Huang didn't force it, pouring himself a glass of himself, and then waiting for my answer. I lowered my head and thought about it.

"Let's talk about you then, and you're still fishing out the bodies on the bank of the Yellow River?"

I asked, but Grandpa Huang shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to take the last fine product of these years. I'm going to find a piece of land to live with my two sons, and I've been busy spending all my life. But my grandson has never even seen him. The debt I owe back then has been almost done. It's time to enjoy the joy of family."

Grandpa Huang sighed, rubbed his fingers against the wine glass, sank for a moment and said, "But to be honest, I really can't bear to give up the skills. You and I will be together again, so I will leave it to you."

He smiled, then put down his wine glass and got up, went to the house to carry a box and a book, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth, and the book was worn out.

After Grandpa Huang sat down, he put the thing on the table and handed me the book, saying, "This is the craft of the old Huang family, passed down from generation to generation, but I don't want it to continue cursing the old Huang family. Originally, the old Huang family passed on their own lineage, but after giving birth to the eldest son, my wife's belly was strong and she was pregnant with me again."

"It was a big happy event, but after the child was born, strange things began to happen. When it was born, it was wrapped in scales, like a fish, which scared the midwife to death. For this reason, I moved specifically, but the child was difficult to raise. I always saw strange things. Until I met an old man in Kyoto, he told me that the child was cursed because my Huang family robbed tombs for generations and was retribution."

"What happened later? How did you deal with it?" I asked curiously.

"Later, the old man told me that there was a lack of a corpse picker on the Yellow River bank. I asked me to come here to accumulate some good deeds and deal with the matter of the Dragon King Temple at the same time. As long as it is done, the great virtue can be preserved."

"So you gave up robbing the tomb and came to the Yellow River bank to pick up corpses?"

"That's the flesh of my heart. The old Huang family finally had the opportunity to grow branches and leaves, so I wouldn't let it go, so I came to the Yellow River bank twenty years ago. At that time, it was in chaos and war everywhere. I picked up corpses along the river. On the most day, I picked up hundreds of them. Look at the mountaintop." Grandpa Huang pointed to the mountaintop opposite and said, "I turned my eyes to see that the mountaintop was blurred in the dark night, but I felt that the mountaintop was quite strong.

"No one recognized the bodies I picked up back then. I buried them where I have buried them. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of Yin De, so I wrapped my child in it. Unexpectedly, something big happened in the Dragon King Temple not long after."

"What a big deal?"

When Grandpa Huang mentioned the matter of Dragon King Temple, I immediately became interested, mainly because of the modern buildings at the entrance and whether the blood pool was artificial in this town. I was extremely curious.

"The Dragon Prince somehow did it rain heavily overnight. It took three days and three nights, and the water was rising quickly. The green fish rushed up all over the land. From where, after the town, people died every year, like a curse, cursing the people in the town."

"Didn't the greenfish you made three years ago?"

"It's even earlier, but everyone is just as the reason to cover up some things!"

"The blood pool of Dragon King Temple, and there is also a stone kiln, right?"

I said in a deep voice, I vaguely felt that I seemed to have guessed something.

"That's right, there are so many people in the town that they mentioned the sacrifice, so they bought a few people outside and also lived to sacrifice to the Dragon King. It's strange that after the sacrifice, the Yellow River bank was really calm for several years, but it didn't take long to break out, but it could no longer be sacrificed. Because the times were different, once the living sacrifice was discovered, something big would happen, so they also sacrificed the blood of the beast, but they could not calm the Dragon King's anger, so people continued to die. Later, we went to the tomb and fell down. After we carried out the box, several companions died in the town. They took this opportunity to investigate the situation and pushed everything on the dead, so that the few people with no bones would take the blame."

"The river's bluefish?"

"A group of cursed fish, every time a group of cursed fish is salvaged, one person will basically die. So the fishermen on the Yellow River stopped instantly and became increasingly deserted. In the end, only I, the corpse picker, is still ferrying on the Yellow River."

"No need to mention the past. After tonight, everything has nothing to do with you and me. Whether it is the Qingyu or the Dragon King Temple, it will eventually become a legend under the erasure of time."

"Well, I'll give you all the things tonight. This is the box I brought to you. After drinking this glass of wine, we will see you again!"

Grandpa Huang pushed me the box and poured me a glass of wine. I lifted it and clinked it with him. The two of them sat about a little longer. Grandpa Huang got up and went to find a tricycle on his feet. He put his son in the car and asked me to help him tar the house when I left, then untied the boat and let the boat go down with the water.

We said goodbye, and before dawn could dawn, they all left. Xiao Shi and I sat at the table, not sleepy at all. When it was almost dawn, I knew I should leave, so I found a piece of cloth to put the box on my back, then set a fire to light the house and unloaded the boat.

Take Xiao Shi while it was not dawn and paddled down the river.

At dawn, I threw the boat in the river bay, then looked for a stone with the box on my back, and put it down, reached out to open the cloth on the box, revealing the dark box inside.

"This kind of curse is not a very powerful curse, it is just a destruction curse."

Xiao Shi glanced at the black ramp, and I was delighted when I heard this, and asked quickly: "Doesn't that mean I can open it?"

"It's ok, but although it's not a problem, it will still accumulate in your hands. I'm afraid that if it suddenly breaks out, something big will happen if it can't be controlled!"

Xiao Shi said worriedly.

"After walking for a day, you can make a calculation for a day. Since you say that the curse on my hand is extremely powerful, it is not bad for it."

I smiled optimistically and reached out to pull the black tiles' pin. The black tiles did not design any mechanism, which surprised me.

I slowly opened the black sky, and a black gas came out from it. I was so scared that I quickly moved away. When the black sky dissipated, I came up and saw a piece of cloth covered with black sky, and there was a piece of weird jade on it. It was said that it was strange because the jade was made of a stone dragon and a jade dragon, two dragons intertwined and coiled, and there were four words on the jade's foot.
