Qiu Wujiang blinked his big black eyes, and suddenly said: "Grandpa Dao, I heard you just say that you are from the Qingluo Mountain Wanshou Palace, but I have never heard of such a place, and there is no record in the books I read. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the stack of books beside the bed, and continued, "Is the place where you came here very far from here?"

Zhao Lingwei scrambled to the side and said: "The Taoist grandfather in your mouth is my master, this little brother is my junior brother, and the big sister next to me is my sister-in-law who has not passed the door, we are all from Anping Mansion." Then she reported the names and surnames of the three people. At the end of the day, he turned to ask, "Little brother, do you know where Anping Mansion is?"

Qiu Wujiang shook his head blankly and said, "Anping Mansion? I haven't heard of it either." ”

Everyone secretly said in their hearts: Although this child is extremely smart, after all, he grew up in this remote and poor country, and he still has less knowledge.

Seeing his stunned face, Yu Wenlei couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Anping Mansion is thousands of miles away from here, and it's normal that you don't know." In fact, before I came here, I hadn't heard of Yu Yuanhai. ”

After Qiu Wujiang heard this, an innocent smile appeared on his face, and he asked casually: "Then Brother Yuwen, what are you doing when you come to this Yu Yuanhai thousands of miles away? It doesn't look like visiting relatives and friends." ”

Speaking of this, he rolled his eyes, stuffed a large piece of beef into his mouth, then looked at Yuxian Zhenren, and said while chewing: "Could it be that Grandpa Dao came to visit my grandfather? Alas, it's a pity that his old man passed away before I was born!"

Yuxian Zhenren picked up a piece of beef on the table, threw it into his mouth, and said: "Poor Dao, I like to travel the mountains and rivers the most in my life. Thirty years ago, once I went to northern Xinjiang, I happened to pass by this Liuwan Village, and happened to meet Qiu Tianping, who was in the prime of life at that time, in the willow forest behind the village, that is, your grandfather.

He was cutting down trees and building a boat in the forest alone, and I saw that he was working hard, so I used magic to help. He was very pleased to see that I was quite capable, and he took me by the hand and told me everything that had happened to your ancestors.

After listening to his account, I was curious, and I wanted to take the finger plate from him, and go out to sea to find the Huqiao Mountain in person, to see whether the fishermen who went to sea were dead or alive, and why they were never heard from again.

Instead, he persuaded me, after all, sixty years have passed since the incident, and that group of fishermen who went to sea must be unlucky, or buried at the bottom of the sea, and died alive in the so-called fairy mountain, in short, they are not in this world, so why should I be an outsider and add unnecessary risks.

The reason why he is willing to open his heart to me is not to bewitch me to look for Huqiao, but because he is in pain in his heart, he lives too depressed, and he wants to find someone who can speak, talk to him, and vent his grievances.

You must know that there is a great-grandfather among the people who went to sea, and their family is clearly a victim, why the villagers put all the blame on their clan, which is really unfair.

We sat on the floor and talked for a long time, and at last I got up to say goodbye to him because I was in a hurry. When he saw that he couldn't keep it, he pointed to a house in the distance and said to me, "This is his house, and I am always welcome to be a guest."

In the end, he also told me that the only remaining finger pan in the village was placed on the shrine in the temple on the edge of the forest, and at the same time joked that it seemed that the Taoist priest really lived a long life, and after so many years, the finger priest was still unharmed, and I don't know why he did such a thing back then, it was really difficult.

I can't explain the intention of that Taoist friend, so I smiled and said goodbye to your grandfather, and made an appointment with him, the next time I came over, Poor Dao would definitely go to Huqiao Mountain to have a look, who knew that this was a farewell. Little brother, is your Qiu family the only seedling for you?"

Qiu Wujiang shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, I heard my father once say that he has a brother above him, who is my uncle. It's just that my uncle ran away from home when he was very young, and he never came back, and I never saw him. ”

After speaking, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Grandpa Dao, are you going to the sea to find Huqiao?" If this is the case, I advise you to dispel this idea." ”

Zhao Lingwei answered on the side: "Little brother, the reason why we came to Yu Yuanhai is indeed to track down an extremely powerful enemy, and it is very likely that he is hiding on Huqiao Mountain. ”

Qiu Wujiang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "But, but the finger pan is gone, and no one wants to find the pot without the finger pan." ”

The four of them were taken aback when they heard this, and they looked at Qiu Wujiang speechless. Yu Wenlei was the first to come to his senses, and he hurriedly asked: "When did the Sipan disappear, has it been more than half a year?"

Qiu Wujiang saw the anxiety on everyone's faces, knowing that the matter was very important, and he didn't dare to hide it, he hurriedly said: "It's impossible, that is, the last two days." ”

Yuxian Zhenren frowned and asked, "Child, are you sure of it?"

Qiu Wujiang nodded, his face was sincere, and said, "I'm absolutely sure!" As he spoke, he lowered his eyelids and whispered, "I won't hide it from you, it's freezing now, and it's not easy to find food outside, and I'm still too young to go out to sea to fish, and I'm embarrassed to always trouble Grandpa Zhao."

I had no choice but to ...... He often went to the temple in the willow forest at night to get some offerings to satisfy his hunger. ”

Yuxian Zhenren secretly said: The fishermen here live on the sea, often go out to sea to fish, and every time before going to sea, most of them will go to the temple to worship. Since it is a worship, it must be more or less to bring some fruits and fish to be offered. It seems that the child relied on these offerings to keep him from starving to death and barely survive the harsh winter.

I heard him continue: "I was afraid of being bumped into, so I never dared to go over during the day, and I didn't go out until the middle of the night, sneaking over.

Last night, as usual, I walked to the temple and planned to go to the shrine to touch the finger plate. Who knew that as soon as he stretched out his hand, he actually touched the air. ”

"I was suspicious, and secretly thought that the priest was placed in this shrine, and the villagers looked at it as if they saw a snake and scorpion on weekdays, if it weren't for the nostalgia for the ancestors who went to sea back then, they would have lost it somewhere, so everyone was afraid to avoid it, so no one would touch it at all, how could it not be in place?

Last night it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything, so I stood on tiptoe and touched the shrine again, but I still found nothing, and it seemed that the finger plate had indeed been taken away.

As soon as I thought of this, I was so frightened that my hairs immediately stood on end, goosebumps rose all over my body, and I didn't even bother to take the offerings, so I ran out of the view in a panic. I was so scared that I hid in my house until you came today. ”

Qiu Wujiang recalled the events of last night, his eyes still showed a look of horror, and he trembled all over, and he was extremely scared.

After hearing this, Yuxian Zhenren was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Can you be sure when the master plate was taken away?"

Qiu Wujiang didn't want to think about it and said, "I was sure that it was still in the niche the night before yesterday, because I had personally touched it at that time, and there would be no fake."

And yesterday during the day, some people went to the temple to worship one after another, pointing out that the master plate should not have been taken away at that time. If you think about it, I don't know who took it from yesterday night to before I went at night. ”

Yu Wenlei Qi said: "Wujiang, how can you be so sure that it must have been taken away by outsiders, and maybe it was taken by the villagers who went to worship yesterday." ”

Qiu Wujiang turned his head to look at Yuwenlei, and said with a sincere face: "Brother Yuwen doesn't know, since that incident, it has been rumored in our village for generations that it is ominous, so it is regarded as a bad omen. It has been placed in a shrine for decades, and no one has ever looked at it, so it can be said that it was secretly taken by the people of our village, and the possibility is very small.

What's more, when I went to Grandpa Zhao's liquor shop to buy wine just now, I heard the villagers drinking there complaining that a fishing boat he parked in the bay had disappeared for no apparent reason.

As you all know, the fishing boats in our Liuwan Village are all made of willows, and they will never leave the bay on their own without oars. ”

After hearing this, the four looked at each other and were speechless for a while. In the end, Yuxian was really humane: "It seems that someone went to Huqiao one step ahead of us." ”

Zhao Lingwei hurriedly said: "Master, could it be a good thing done by the black-robed man! He stole my father's corpse, and only arrived here today, so he stole the Sipan and the fishing boat and fled to Huqiao Mountain, I don't know what he wants to do behind his back!"

Saying that, her willow eyebrows frowned, her apricot eyes widened, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "If he is met by me, I will definitely not spare him!"

Qiu Wujiang saw her suddenly angry appearance, and said some strange things in his mouth, so he looked at her with wide eyes and surprise, not knowing what to do.

Yu Wenlei suddenly had a thought, and he said, "In my opinion, it shouldn't be a black-robed person." It has been more than half a year since Ling Zun's body disappeared, and if it was a black-robed man, it would never take him half a year to get here. Most likely it's—"

"Stalker!" Yuxian Zhenren said indifferently.

"What!" Zhao Lingwei blurted out, she suddenly stood up and looked at her master with an incredulous expression, then looked at Yu Wenlei again, and asked in surprise, "Is this true?

Yu Wenlei nodded, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "A month ago, you and the Dongfang girl were stopped by two maidservants of the Imperial Immortal Sect's Dharma Protector Phantom Miao, who framed you for stealing the Imperial Immortal Sect's Treasure Immortal King Treasure Box, so as to trap you in the City Lord's Ancestral Hall.

In fact, they are just designed by others to become outcasts of others. At this time, there was another person buried in the shadows, and when he saw that they were defeated, he suddenly attacked, that is, the man who fought with me, and his purpose was to delay as much time as possible.

He couldn't strike a blow, and when he saw the master arrive, he knew that he couldn't win, so he immediately fled. At this time, another group of people had already set off, rushed in front of us, took the finger pan, and went to Huqiao Mountain first. ”

What Yu Wenlei said was reasonable and well-founded, and everyone present admired it when they heard it. Especially Zhao Lingwei and Qiu Wujiang praised on the side, and their faces were full of joy and convincing.

Yuxian Zhenren pondered for a while, and said cautiously: "Disciple, your reasoning seems to be perfect, but there is a big flaw in it. ”

Yu Wenlei was stunned for a moment and said, "What is the flaw, please correct it, Master." ”

Yuxian Zhenren gasped and said, "After so many years, there are very few people who really know the secret of the finger pan, I think even the villagers of this Liuwan Village should be very few." ”

Qiu Wujiang nodded in agreement: "Grandpa Dao is right, after all, more than 90 years have passed, and now the people in the village have passed it down for several generations, and they have long forgotten the purpose of the finger pan.

I just heard from my ancestors that it was a bad thing and should not be touched, but I couldn't tell a clue. Now in addition to me and Grandpa Zhao, there should not be many people in the village who know the secret of the Sipan. ”

Yuxian Zhenren stroked his head and said: "Except for the villagers of Liuwan Village, the only people who know its secret are me and the Taoist friend back then." By the way, I also mentioned it to the lord of the castle by chance when I came.

However, the person who came last night, he took the finger plate and did not alarm the villagers, so he must have known where the finger plate was hidden and what it was used for as soon as he came. ”

Yu Wenlei was stunned, held his chin and said, "Could it be that someone came to use the divine talisman of the Taiyi Altar?"

Yuxian Zhenren said: "Although the Divine Talisman is famous for its accurate divination, it can only calculate the general direction and general matters, but he is like a good calculation, and he is ahead of us, which cannot but be suspicious." ”

Dongfang Miao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected: "So, what should we do next?"
