Chapter 74: When the Tide Falls, the Floating Corpse Appears(1/2)
At this time, Old Uncle Gao saw me coming back and waved quickly.
"Thirteen is back! Come and try my roasted rabbit. I caught it last night for half the night."
I shook my head helplessly.
"So you spent the night catching rabbits last night."
"No. Your uncle Gao caught the rabbit, and I am mainly responsible for catching fish and shrimps.
But the water was too big, so we didn’t catch much, and we had already finished eating.”
Uncle Wu waved his hand and quickly denied it.
I smiled bitterly.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to find the old turtle? This sea eye will destroy the dam."
Old Uncle Gao had a flattering look on his face while tapping Mr. Sang's legs.
"It's okay. Mr. Sang said that you can definitely get things done. Just let us keep our hearts in our stomachs."
Only then did I realize that Mr. Sang had probably figured everything out a long time ago, so he was so confident.
At this time, Sang Ye slowly stood up and stretched.
"Okay! It's almost time, let's go out and take a look."
Mr. Sang raised his eyebrows and walked towards the embankment with his hands behind his back.
Uncle Gao and Uncle Wu saw this and hurriedly followed behind.
After the old turtle suppressed the sea eye, the water level quickly fell back to the normal level.
Mr. Sang stood on the embankment and glanced back and forth into the reservoir several times.
"The sea eyes are already calmed down, what else is there to see?"
Mr. Sang ignored me and pointed toward the northwest of the reservoir.
"Xiao Gao, if you sail to the northwest and look for it, you will definitely find the child's body."
Only then did I realize that Lord Sang was looking for the seventh corpse.
It's just that the body has been sinking for seven or eight days, and there was such a big storm last night.
Even the body of the big white python was rolled up and disappeared. Even if the body was still in the water, it would have been smashed.
Uncle Gao heard the sound and quickly drove the boat to the northwest to search.
Less than half an hour later, Old Uncle Gao came back in the boat, dragging a large sack behind the boat.
Old Uncle Gao stood at the bow of the boat, waving his hands excitedly.
"Master Sang, you are really clever and clever, and you really let Lao Gao find it."
Uncle Wu's brows finally relaxed. With the last body recovered, he could finally communicate with the superiors.
I couldn't help but be shocked. Mr. Sang didn't even get into the water, so he just scanned it twice.
It's incredible that he actually knows where the body is.
"Master Sang, how did you know?"
Mr. Sang shook his beard and asked, "Do you know why the child's body was never found before?"
I raised my eyebrows in confusion.
"Didn't he get eaten by that big white python?"
Mr. Sang took out the talisman from his sleeve and patted my forehead several times.
“I don’t know what I have learned every day, and I don’t even understand this bit of common sense.
Snakes' blood is cold and they rely on heat to sense prey, so they only eat live animals.
These children all died of drowning, and their bodies were so swollen that they surfaced.
Then why does the big white python want to eat a dead body?"
I scratched my head and looked confused.
"If the body wasn't eaten, where could it go?"
Mr. Sang snorted softly.
"Hmph! If my guess is correct, then the child should happen to be born in a yin year, yin month, yin time, and the zodiac sign belongs to yin.
Its corpse can temporarily suppress Haiyan, but only temporarily of course.
Once the first seven days are over, the Yin Qi on the corpse will dissipate.
The big white python was suppressed here a hundred years ago, and now it wants to use the child's body to get out of trouble.
Although he temporarily broke free from Haiyan, he could not leave the lake.
It is necessary to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon for seven days and seven nights to truly escape from the trap.
Last night happened to be the seventh night.
The white python is murderous and has a lustful nature. Once it escapes from its trap, it will surely bring disaster to the world.
It only takes one night to escape.
But it happened that on this last night, I was killed by you due to some strange combination of circumstances. I can only say that it was God’s will."
I was slightly startled, as I didn't expect that there would be a reversal.
"So, by killing that big white python last night, I did a great deed worthy of praise!"
Mr. Sang rolled his eyes at me.
"Stop being so pretty! Even without you, this white python wouldn't be able to survive.
There are five thunder formations arranged around this sea eye. Once the white python escapes from the trap, it will definitely encounter the sky-thunder body."
My face was full of surprise.
"Master Sang, how do you know so clearly and all these are calculated?"
Mr. Sang shook his head.
"This white python was originally suppressed here by a senior master hundreds of years ago. This master has some connections with my sect, so I know about it.
That senior has profound knowledge and has already calculated today's disaster.
Therefore, an old water-calming turtle was left in the mountain to prepare for any eventuality.
Otherwise, why do you think an old turtle appeared out of thin air in this barren mountain?"
After a long time, Sang Ye, the big white python, was suppressed here, and Sang Ye had known about it for a long time.
Mr. Sang made a deep voice and continued.
"After the white python dies, its aura dissipates, and the sea eyes spurt out.
The tide goes down and corpses appear.
Once the storm calms down, the child's body will naturally surface.
The valley here is sloping and the water surface looks calm, but in fact the water potential is lower than in the northwest.
Once this corpse surfaces, it will inevitably float to the northwest.
As long as you search all the way to the northwest, you will definitely be able to fish out the body.
All this is not calculated by me, but relies on observation, thinking and past experience.”
Mr. Sang touched my head and showed a faint smile.
“Thirteen, I’m telling you this because I hope you can understand that people’s calculations are ultimately not as good as God’s calculations.
Don't rely too much on external forces for everything. When you really encounter a desperate situation, the only one who can help you is yourself.
You still have a long road ahead, so long that even I can't see clearly."
After saying that, Mr. Sang turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
The early morning sunshine fell on me, and I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Have I always relied too much on Mr. Sang?
Precisely because of Mr. Sang's protection, I can do anything with confidence.
If one day I encounter a problem that even Mr. Sang cannot solve, who should I rely on?
If Mr. Sang also encounters an unsolvable crisis, how should I protect him?
Half a month passed in a flash.
My life has returned to its former peace.
"Lao Sang, you are quite sexy in this leather jacket, but isn't it hot in this summer?"
"You know nothing! This is made of golden toad skin. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Our family, Thirteenth, made it for me."
