Chapter 21: Deception
If he were the usual Wang Banxian, he would definitely not say anything more about the burial ground, but this time, I looked at the slightly crazy thing in front of me, and I decided to talk again.
I controlled my tone, at least when Wang Banxian listened, I wouldn't be wary of anything. I asked.
As I guessed, Wang Banxian was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, chattering for a long time.
Most of the time what he said was not related to each other, but I listened patiently with the beard and reorganized the logic in our hearts.
According to Wang Banxian's meaning, this burial ground used to be the largest cemetery in Dawang, and the locals of Dawang, but whoever died, would be buried here, and this situation continued until the Qing Dynasty. When the Qing government sent an official to Dawang, the cemetery and a large area around it were requisitioned, and the area was eventually built as the governor's palace.
The cemetery here, because of the good feng shui, has since become a place for burying the rich and important people, and this cemetery is very distinctive, it is the mode of underground construction, divided into several layers, and now it is preliminarily estimated that each floor is full of graves.
Wang Banxian said a few more things on this basis. According to local legends, there are many treasures in this burial ground, all of which are burial goods, so this burial ground has always been a piece of meat in the eyes of tomb robbers. Let's just say that in the past 100 years, several groups of tomb robbers have sneaked into the burial ground, wanting to make a fortune with Yin Bao.
But this burial place is very evil, and these tomb robbers have never returned. As a result, there is a local legend that the burial place is guarded by the gods, even by the dead buried here.
Neither Beard nor I are superstitious, and when we heard the end, we exchanged glances. Beard sneered.
But speaking from the heart, I vaguely feel that the reason why this place is so rumored to be so godly may be really funny, otherwise how could those tomb robbers who are masters of art and daring be wiped out.
So I would like to say a few words to the beard. The beard frowned again.
At this time, Wang Banxian finished speaking, he lowered his head, didn't look at me and his beard, and especially showed a preoccupied look.
Suddenly, he jerked his head up again. He stared at the gossip diagram with a hideous expression.
Wang Banxian scolded, saying that it was the devil's key, and it could not be kept, and it must not be kept!
Wang Banxian stood up suddenly, and he walked towards the gossip map while holding the planer and saw.
I guess Wang Banxian wants to destroy this gossip map. Originally, this gossip map was not mine, and whether he was willing to destroy it or not had nothing to do with me, but I knew that this gossip map was a treasure, and it must have made Wang Banxian pay a lot of effort.
There is an old saying called the destruction of the heavenly things, and I said in my heart that this picture was destroyed because of this, and it is really no different from the violent destruction of the heavenly things.
I slowed down Wang Banxian and half a beat, aimed at his back, and pounced.
I hugged Wang Banxian, and I also reminded Hu Zi to let him take a hand.
The beard was not as active as me, but he was also in front of Wang Banxian, and he also put his hands out together and grabbed Wang Banxian's two wrists.
Wang Banxian has been staring at the gossip map angrily, ignoring the actions of the two of us. He tried to exert his strength to break free from the two of us.
I found that he was such an old man, and he had so much strength on an occasion like this.
I held him in my arms, and my beard stopped him, and finally we were led by him, and we walked a few steps forward together.
The beard said to me, "Why don't you knock this old man unconscious?"
He also looked at Wang Banxian's temple.
I'm afraid that this old man's physique is not good, especially the beard is often not light or heavy, this time something really has to go wrong, I'm afraid that Wang Banxian's life will be killed.
I shook my head and motioned for the beard to wait.
I suddenly remembered one thing, Wang Banxian always recited mantras blindly this night. I have a trick.
I whispered Buddhist scriptures in Wang Banxian's ear. Actually, I don't know any of this, but after occasionally coming into contact with Buddhism, I know a few things more or less.
I don't care if the logic makes sense or not, the word order is smooth or not, anyway, I read whatever comes to mind.
After being tossed by me like this, Wang Banxian's irritability was reduced a lot.
He took out a blank look, especially with his eyes hooked, and his mouth repeated the Buddhist scriptures I had just said.
Hu Zi observed Wang Banxian, and he said incredulously, "This is okay?" Damn! ”
I insisted on talking for a while, and Wang Banxian rolled his eyelids without warning.
This is a sign that you are going to faint. I dragged him in a hurry, and my beard held him up from the front. When Wang Banxian's legs were weak, the two of us helped him again and got him to the bed.
The beard took advantage of the time to put the planer and the saw blade under the bed.
I'll give Wang Banxian a preliminary check. In my experience, this old man is just faint, and he is not in serious trouble, and his breathing is very steady.
Hu Zi came to the gossip diagram again, and he hesitated and asked me, what does that mean, do you want to hide this diagram, otherwise when the half-immortal brother wakes up, don't mess with the idea of this diagram again.
I thought to myself, I think that Wang Banxian will not be so reckless after waking up, especially as long as I stop talking in his ear, he should not be sick.
I shook my head at the beard.
Now that we know the exact location of the burial place, I don't think it's too late.
I said to the beard, "Get ready, let's go to the burial site at night." ”
Beard answered, in fact, we didn't have much preparation, but we both wore "three-in-one" flashlights on our bodies.
This flashlight has almost become a personal treasure for me and my beard, and even when we come to the governor's palace, we always carry it close to us, and I also stuck the porcelain knife on my waist.
The two of us quietly left the dormitory and slipped out of the yard again.
The beard is good at night walking, after all, he has the foundation of a pickpocket, he first identified the direction and direction, and then I followed him, and we ran southwest.
At this time, the Governor's Palace, except for the occasional street lamp, was almost dark, and we did not use flashlights in order to save electricity.
After about a quarter of an hour's walk, we came to the outskirts of a small garden. We wanted to stick to the garden and walk around it, but as we were walking, someone came out of the small garden.
He also carries a flashlight, but the difference is that his flashlight is yellow, to put it bluntly, he is an ordinary product.
This man has a thief's eye, and he spotted us both at once.
Beard and I didn't want to meet him, but before we could react, he snorted.
He had a very sharp voice, and my beard and I were stirred. He immediately asked, "Who?" ”
The beard's first reaction was to drag me to escape, but I said in my heart that we didn't steal or rob, as for running away? I tugged at my beard instead.
He paused suddenly, and then came back to his senses.
The man on the other side, he took advantage of the time to shine another flashlight, and walked over to the two of us.
I saw how he was dressed, and I knew that it was a member of the governor's house, and that he was carrying a short stick in his hand, and I guessed that he was patrolling at night.
I smiled as politely as I could with him. But this Ding still doesn't have a good face for me.
He asked, repeating what he had just said.
The beard replied, "We are mercenaries, not bad people!" ”
This Ding was very suspicious, he immediately wrinkled his brows, and answered, "Helper? Someone from Anu's side? You two don't sleep most of the night, what are you doing here? ”
Then, without waiting for us to answer, he added, "Servants are not allowed to walk around in the Governor's Palace, I think you two are very suspicious, you must be doing something bad, go, follow me!" ”
He was holding a short stick, and like a duck, he asked me and the beard to be in front of him, and he wanted us to take somewhere.
It was impossible for me and Beard to listen to him, and I was wondering what to say more, but who knew that Beard suddenly snorted and took out a tantrum stance.
The family was stunned, and I was stunned. This is not over, the beard leaned over and pushed at the family.
With a little bit of strength in his beard, he was forced to take a step back, and at this moment, his face was full of vigilance and hostility.
The beard touched the family's face in the air, and he asked, "Were you born by a stupid mother?" We just came to find Master Bianba, and now we are about to go back. What's the matter, according to what you said, we were instigated by Lord Bianba, are we going to do something bad? ”
I knew that Hu Zi was trying to trick this Ding, and this Ding was not so easy to be fooled, so he took out a posture of disbelief and asked, "You two stinky workers, how can you know Master Bianba?" And what does Lord Bianba have to do with the two of you? Those of us who are subordinate can run errands. ”
I don't think this Ding is speaking harshly. The beard was still hesitant, probably thinking about how to weave it.
And a thought popped into me. I answered, "My brother and I are from other places and believe in Buddhism. It just so happened that we had a Buddhist scripture on us, and when Master Bian Ba found out, he asked us to lend him the Buddhist scriptures. ”
The next expression on his face told me that he believed me. Actually, it wasn't me who was blind and bumped into a dead mouse, and when Beard and I accidentally bumped into Bianba and a woman doing indescribable things, he was clearly imitating the Buddha of Joy. I took a gamble.
Beard smiled at me secretly, and then he sank his face.
What does he mean, aren't you going to take us away? In that case, let's go, let's go to Lord Bianba's to evaluate the theory.
He also took the initiative to drag this family member, and I cooperated with the beard. In the end, the two of us were holding one of the arms of the family.
He must have thought too much, especially afraid that after he really saw Bianba, he wouldn't be scolded.
He smiled and looked apologetic, and he didn't dare to say anything more about me and my beard. He has a brother and an old brother.
The two of us have been keeping a calm face and showing a posture of not buying it.
This Ding was a little anxious in the end, and even scolded himself, which means, he is a blind man, and his brain has just entered water, etc.
I think it's almost there, and I wink at the beard. Beard scolded him a few more times, and then we swaggered away in front of him.
It was supposed to be a small episode, but as I walked with the beard, especially after a short walk, we came to a house.
The courtyard walls of this house are so high that we can't see what is going on here. And next to this house, there is a bush.
The shrubs are more than one person tall, and there are old locust trees scattered in the forest.
I don't know what's going on, but we walked along this bush, and there was always a trace of white mist floating here. I know that the yin aura of the locust tree is great, and the old saying often says that the locust tree attracts ghosts.
I wonder if the reason for the white fog here has something to do with these locust trees? And I was a little uncomfortable with this thought.
And that's not all, as we passed through this bush, trouble came as well......
