Chapter 40: The red-clad figure in the middle of the road
"Why, you're ready to give up before you even start trying?"
Qian Xiaodao smiled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Since the young master came of age to the present, we have found no less than a hundred masters, and none of them can unlock the curse on the young master, and more than thirty of them have been injured, two have gone crazy, and three have died. ”
"And what do you mean?"
"To be honest, I don't think you're too young to die."
The middle-aged man's expression was solemn, and it didn't look like he was joking.
Qian Xiaodao still looked relaxed: "Don't worry, I won't die so easily...... Be careful! ”
At the moment when Qian Xiaodao turned his head, a girl in red clothes with long braids appeared in his sight, she happened to be standing in the middle of the road, walking towards the hillside next to her.
Hearing Qian Xiaodao's shouting, the middle-aged man immediately stepped on the brakes.
But it's too late!
The tires of the car finally came to a stop after four deep black marks were scratched on the concrete floor.
Qian Xiaodao and the middle-aged man hurriedly got out of the car, but they searched around, but they didn't see the woman in red.
He looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Did you see it just now?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "Hmm." ”
Qian Xiaodao glanced around and found that there were barren mountains all around, and he couldn't see anyone at all.
"Mr. Zhuge , is there a village here?"
"Nope." The middle-aged man shook his head, "This generation is very close to the Wild Forest Park, and in order to protect the environment, the original residents have moved away. ”
"How far is this from your town?"
"There's still about a twenty-minute drive away."
Standing in the middle of the road and glancing at the sun overhead, Qian Xiaodao's brows immediately furrowed: "That sister just now is obviously a Piao, she must have some purpose when she appeared here under such a big poisonous sun." ”
As he spoke, Qian Xiaodao looked at the hillside next to him again, and just as he was about to go up the hill to take a look, the middle-aged man next to him began to urge: "Mr. Qian, no matter what, you should go to the town with me first, if you are really interested, you can also come here to have a look later." ”
Qian Xiaodao thought about it, turned around and got into the car again.
As Zhuge Qing said, in about twenty minutes' drive, they arrived at Meixi Town.
Because he came here to save people and heal diseases, Qian Xiaodao didn't have extra time to watch others, and soon followed Zhuge Qing into an ancient mansion.
"Mr. Zhuge , this house is more than two hundred years old, and you still live here?"
As soon as he entered the ancient mansion, Qian Xiaodao obviously felt a yin aura approaching.
Although the surface temperature outside is about 40 degrees Celsius, the inside of this ancient mansion is as cool as spring, which is really strange.
Zhuge Qing explained: "This is the old house of our Zhuge family, and the central location is the ancestral hall of our Zhuge family, which has a history of more than 300 years. Usually, the old house is open, and only on special holidays will people gather. ”
Qian Xiaodao nodded, stopped talking, and followed Zhuge Qing towards the depths of the old mansion quickly.
Walking and walking, Qian Xiaodao suddenly felt a glimpse of a red figure in the corner of his eye, and when he turned his head over, there was no trace of anyone.
Seeing Qian Xiaodao stop, Zhuge Qing turned around and asked, "Mr. Qian, the patriarch is already waiting, please hurry up." ”
"Okay."
Qian Xiaodao was silent on the surface, but he had a question in his heart.
Everyone knows the story of the blind man touching the elephant, Qian Xiaodao felt like a blind man, and after entering this ancient mansion, he felt that he was touching an elephant.
As the saying goes, "there must be a demon when something goes wrong", since he entered this Zhuge family's old house, Qian Xiaodao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any clues all of a sudden, so he could only secretly remind himself that he must not be careless and lose his life.
There's got to be a problem here!
The ancient house is so big that the two of them walked around for about ten minutes!
"Here we are."
After following Zhuge Qing to cross a threshold that was at least half a meter high, Qian Xiaodao approached a house with a relatively high stomach.
Facing the gate is a high archway, there is a big well under the archway, and after the well is the main hall.
At this moment, there were two rows of people sitting on either side of the main hall, all with frosty white and silver hair on both sides.
Seeing Qian Xiaodao and Zhuge Qing enter the hall, an old man with a childish face stood up, stretched out his hand to Qian Xiaodao, and said with a smile: "Hello, thank you for your hard work to come to Meixi." ”
Qian Xiaodao responded casually, and after greetings, he asked the old man, "What about the one you are talking about?" ”
The old man glanced at a young man next to him, who nodded, turned and walked towards a side room next to the main hall.
Soon, two young men came out of the side room carrying a coffin.
Qian Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to carry the coffin without a coffin and take it away, but he found that there was a thick quilt in the coffin, and there was a person lying in the quilt.
A middle-aged man with jet-black hair, but his eyebrows and beard have turned white!
"This ......"
"This is my son, Zhuge Qi." When the old man said this, Qian Xiaodao obviously felt that his whole heart was trembling.
Yes, whoever sees such a picture will not feel good for this parent.
Before coming, Zhuge Qing had already roughly talked about what happened to Zhuge Qi.
Zhuge Qi was fine until he was eighteen years old, and everything changed after he became an adult at the age of eighteen.
He began to be afraid to approach any woman, not even his own mother, and often sleepwalked.
Before Qian Xiaodao, the Zhuge family invited many masters, including Taoist priests, monks, feng shui masters, Nanyang head descenders, Miao Jiang wizards, and some people with extraordinary abilities.
Especially recently, Zhuge Qi has been full of strange things.
He would come out of the water for no reason, and sometimes he would be walking on the road, and suddenly he would be soaked from head to toe as if he had just been fished up from the river.
Moreover, on a sunny day like now, he stood on a concrete floor with a surface temperature of 40 degrees, and his body would still tremble, even if he was wrapped in a winter down jacket.
The reason why he was wrapped in a quilt and lying in the coffin was that this was a trick from a Taoist priest who was invited, and the problem of getting out of the water for no reason was solved, but he was still afraid of the cold, so he wrapped it in a quilt.
"Master, you must save my son! In the past, he couldn't touch women, but now he can't even lose his life! I am such a son, and I can't afford to lose it again. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
