Chapter 182 [Black Water Temple] (Part 2)

There is a Heilong Temple in the north of Xinmanying. The temple is named after the Heilong Pond in front of the gate. This area was originally short of water and there were not many natural springs. Heilong Pond was one of them. There were three springs at the bottom of the pond, and the water accumulated into a pond, which was not dry for thousands of years. However, strangely, in the year when the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the spring water suddenly stopped gushing, and the Heilong Pond became a sourceless water and soon dried up. Locals say that the dragon vein of the Great Qing pond was connected under the Great Qing pond. When the Qing Dynasty died, the dragon vein was naturally broken. When the dragon vein was broken, it was impossible for there to be another spring water.

After the Black Dragon Pond dried up, the bottom of the pond gradually revealed, and the bottom of the pond was covered with dead bones. Over the past years, locals have been drinking the water of the Black Dragon Pond. When the bottom of the pond was secretly disclosed, they all regarded this place as a place of evil.

The monks of Heilong Temple also drank the Heilong Spring Water in the past. When they learned about this, they all thought that the sin was serious. The old abbot suffered from a heart-wrenching illness and died soon after. The other monks also switched to other temples. In just a few years, they became empty from a place with a prosperous incense.

Often the more deserted the land, the more awe-inspiring it makes people feel. Even the locals choose to detour when passing by. Later, a foreigner chose to open a charity house here, but it only took a year to run it. The boss and the servants were killed overnight, and after the murder, the Heilong Temple was even more daunting.

Until Yan Tuojiang became the Ningxia Guardian Army, he re-activated the place and changed it to Zhongyi Temple to place the remains and spiritual positions of the fallen soldiers. Although it was re-activated, it was still regarded as a dangerous place by the locals.

Ma Yongping suspected from the beginning that Yan Tuojiang might have built his secret vault here, but he could not find any evidence. After he successfully usurped power, he also conducted a large-scale search on Heilong Temple, but did not find any vaults. Instead, a lot of bones and weapons and armor were dug out from the temple courtyard. Judging from what he found, large-scale battles should have occurred in Heilong Temple in the past and many people had died.

After leaving Yan Tuojiang, Ma Yongping went straight to Heilong Temple because the coffin that Yan Tuojiang mentioned just now was temporarily stored in Heilong Temple.

At the beginning, Ma Yongping did not feel how important the coffin was. It was not until he came to him that he realized the importance of the coffin.

Zhuo sat on the stone railing beside the Black Dragon Pond with one hand, wearing a hat, wearing a sleeveless black silk short jacket, fat bloomers, and wearing a pair of round-mouthed cloth shoes barefoot. He hid under the shade of the tree, his eyes were hidden in the shadow of the hat. Zhuo found himself liked to hide in the shadow. But when he looked up, he saw the dazzling sunshine outside the shade of the tree. He didn't like it, he didn't like the scorching sun, nor did he liked the overwhelming wind and sand. Sometimes he even wondered if he was a Dangxiang person.

Maybe I have lived in Manchuria for too long, and have been used to the lush and vast mountains and forests there, the ice, snow and cold wind there, the white mountains and black waters, and...

Zhuo Yishou found that he had been used to recalling the past recently and would involuntarily think of his adoptive father, and those who regarded him as brothers and elders. Zhuo Yishou was not without feelings, but some feelings need to be seen when they happened. No one knew why his parents died, and no one knew that Yan Kuohai, who was called the foster father, was actually his enemy.

Zhuo Yishou's forbearance was not for revenge, and his parents did not die directly at the hands of Yan Kuohai. He was trusted and had never done anything to be sorry for Lianyun Village during his years of living in Pawn Mountain, but some things were destined to happen.

If Princess Longyu's body had not reappeared in the world, then he would have been at ease to be his Mongolian doctor in Lianyun Village. Before that, he had even given up hope because he realized that he might never find the secret realm of Jiuyou. However, he only realized not long ago that even if you don't take the initiative to look for some things, they will eventually appear in front of you.

The Western Xia Jurchens were originally a feud, which was an old hatred between the nations. Although it had been so long, the mark passed down from generation to generation in their bloodlines has not disappeared. The departure of Princess Longyu became the last straw that crushed the Western Xia Kingdom. The glorious fortune of the Western Xia Kingdom ended here, but the Jin Kingdom was also destined to perish.

The past is like smoke, and history has been buried in the dust. Some facts that cannot be verified can only be passed down by the clan members. However, Zhuo Yishou firmly believes that his father will not deceive himself.

If it weren't for the mutiny of Xinman Camp at this time, perhaps he had already gotten what he wanted, and the world was unpredictable, and no one would have expected Yan Tuojiang to suddenly lose power. In the current situation, Zhuo Yishou had to make a new choice.

Ma Yongping's cavalry team appeared in Zhuo Yishou's sight. Zhuo Yishou didn't know what had happened before. In his opinion, he had fulfilled his promise. Now it was Ma Yongping's turn to fulfill his promise.

This section of the road leading to Heilong Temple is not easy to walk, which is also the reason why Ma Yongping abandoned his car and rode a horse. Compared to driving, Ma Yongping prefers riding horses. He does not like cold machinery and prefers to communicate with flesh-and-blooded living organisms.

Ma Yongping turned over and dismounted, looking at Zhuo Yishou who was enjoying the shade of the tree, and suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. Although he understood that what had just happened had nothing to do with Zhuo Yishou. He felt more and more the importance of the coffin. If it weren't for the extremely important, how could Zhuo Yishou betray his tribe members? If it weren't for the extremely important, Yan Tuojiang wouldn't have shown such tension.

Zhuo's eyes hidden in the shadow were looking at Ma Yongping approaching him with extreme contempt. He looked down on such a treacherous villain, but he had to choose to associate with such villain, and even he did what he disdained the most.

"General Ma! How is the progress?"

Ma Yongping tried his best to control his expression. The darker a person's heart was, the more he often disliked being discovered and pretended to be as plain as usual: "Everything went well."

Zhuo Yishou felt something was wrong from Ma Yongping's understatement. He was not worried about the fate of Wu Jie and Luo Lie. In fact, either of these two people are outstanding figures, and their vigilance and ability are definitely not inferior to him. Before Ma Yongping gave this answer, Zhuo Yishou even thought that he had a high possibility of failure.

So the easier Ma Yongping answered, the less credible the answer. Zhuo Yishou's intuition told himself that even if Ma Yongping was able to take down Luo Lie and Wu Jie, the process would not go smoothly. He should pay a considerable price. He realized that something might have happened, and it was very likely that something had happened.

In terms of not showing his voice, Zhuo Yishang is fully qualified to become Ma Yongping's teacher. He is deeply scheming and hides it indifferently, saying: "What the general promises me."

Ma Yongping said: "If I hadn't kept my promise, why should I invite you here?" He made an invitation gesture and asked Zhuo to get up and enter Heilong Temple with him.

The scale of this ancient temple is not very large. Although the temple was renovated a few years ago, the paint color of the temple began to fade away due to wind and sun. After Yan Tuojiang changed the place to Zhongyi Temple, he sent two veterans to garrison on weekdays, which is responsible for removing weeds and cleaning fallen leaves.

Locals know the history of ancient temples, and most of them avoid it. No one will take the initiative to come here to cause bad luck.

All the things seized from Yan Tianxin's tribe were confiscated, but this coffin was placed alone in Zhongyi Temple.

Zhuo Yishou's condition to Ma Yongping was to return all the things they had robbed. In fact, what he really cared about was the coffin. The reason why he made such a request was to conceal his real purpose.

Ma Yongping brought Zhuo to the black coffin with one hand. The surface of the coffin was covered with straight red lines. These straight lines were stained with black dog blood and popped out with ink buckets. There were strange symbols written on the surface of the coffin.

Therefore, this coffin looks a bit weird.

Zhuo Yishou quietly observed the talisman seal around the coffin. Everything was intact and he felt relieved in his heart. This proves that no one had taken the initiative to open the coffin during this period. Zhuo Yishou said deliberately: "General Ma, didn't you promise me to return all the things to me after I got it done?"

Ma Yongping said: "There is only this coffin left. If you want it, take it away. If not, forget it."

Zhuo Yishou was secretly happy. As long as the coffin could be taken away smoothly, the other things were insignificant. He sighed and said, "Can the general provide me with a carriage? I will take the coffin away."

Ma Yongping nodded and said, "No problem."

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Zhuo Yishou was worried that the night was long and dreaming, so he decided to take the coffin away first. He walked towards the coffin and sighed, "The general also gave me some things, so I could have an explanation when I went back."

Ma Yongping suddenly said, "Didn't you want just this coffin?"

Zhuo Yishu stopped, and he could hear something in Ma Yongping's words.

After Ma Yongping said this, he gave a wink. The four subordinates rushed up, and the bullet-loaded rifle aimed at Zhuo Yishou in the center.

Zhuo Yishou sighed in his heart, everything was not as easy as it seems. Ma Yongping was really a villain who turned his back on his word and treacherously. He said calmly: "What does General Ma mean?"

Ma Yongping said: "It's not interesting, I'm just a little curious. Who is lying in this coffin?"

Zhuo sighed and said, "My daughter..." He slowly turned around, picked up a sad expression, glared at Ma Yongping and said, "I don't want anything anymore, I just want to take away my daughter's body. Do you not even agree to this request?"
