Chapter 138: Ghosts in the Jungle
Chapter 138: Ghosts in the Jungle
In the evening of the same day, Tian Wei brought wine and food to greet Wang Baoshan and the other three.
After eating and drinking, and being in good spirits, the gossip between those glasses of wine was also talked about in the middle of the night.
It wasn't until the moon was on the branches, when the stars were sparse and the moon was bright, that the four of them left separately and slept in peace without mentioning it.
In the second half of the night, on the fifth watch, Wang Baoshan, who has never been drunk with a thousand cups, will inevitably have abdominal distension and pain and some internal urgency after drinking half a night's wine.
In order not to wake up Lu Yun, who lived in the same room, he went out of the house lightly, intending to find a place to facilitate it.
At this time, it was already the dead of night, and there was a dead silence outside the house.
He looked left and right, found a place that was still hidden, and walked briskly over it.
It was a dark grove, deep in the hut community, not far from the house where he rested.
When he was done and was about to go back to sleep, a dark shadow suddenly came towards him sneaky.
"This ......"
In the middle of the night, when the moon stars were scarce, a black shadow suddenly wandered away, which was somewhat scary.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Wang Baoshan, who was originally in the dense forest, had to hide in the shadows of the woods, temporarily avoiding the limelight, wanting to see what the people were going to do.
But as soon as he hid his form, the black shadow went straight into the depths of the grove as if he had not noticed his existence.
It didn't take long for the sound of conversation faintly heard in the dark forest.
"The adults are well, the villains have something to report......"
The person who spoke first had a low voice with a hint of trepidation, as if he was facing someone.
When Wang Baoshan heard this, he was shocked, because he heard who this person was.
But before he could think about it, another stiff voice sounded leisurely.
"How's it going?"
"Back to the adult, the villain has gained the trust of the young master of the Tian family according to the predetermined plan, and has successfully entered the internal ...... of Qingshui Village."
"Good...... Very good...... You hold your ground and secretly investigate the whereabouts of Miss Lin and that thing......"
"Yes......"
When the first person said this "yes", it seemed that their conversation was over.
The silence of the whole grove was restored, and the black shadow walked out of the woods and disappeared into the thatched hut.
A few short sentences of dialogue, just suddenly, and already over. Although there are not many words, it seems to contain a conspiracy.
Wang Baoshan hid in the shadows, and his heart was beating when he heard it.
At that moment just now, he saw a strange picture in the moonlight, among the shadows of the trees.
Just now, the black shadow, after walking to the center of the dense forest, casually took out a scroll, about the size of a palm, the whole body was white and bright, and the handwriting on it was stained with fluorescent dots.
Wang Baoshan can recognize it from a long distance, it is a magic weapon with a lot of aura.
In this regard, he was very curious, what would be the effect of this magic weapon?
Next, he saw that the black shadow opened the scroll, exhaled a cloud of yellow gas from his mouth, and sprayed it on the scroll.
From time to time, on that scroll, the yellow mist was shrouded, and in the mist, a vague face appeared leisurely......
It turned out that the scroll turned out to be a magic weapon for sound transmission and dialogue.
I didn't expect that black shadow, but it was a cultivator, otherwise how could he use such a magical treasure.
Wang Baoshan heard the voice of the black shadow and their conversation, which made him confused and worried.
When he returned to his resting house, he lay down in bed and could not sleep for a long time.
Finally, in a state of confusion, he closed his eyes and began to meditate on the little black dragon, hoping that it would give him an answer.
Subsequently, the little black dragon chatted with Wang Baoshan in the way of spiritual transmission.
The little black dragon told him that maybe this Qingshui Village was not as calm as it appeared to be, and it should involve some larger conspiracy, otherwise there would be no cultivators involved.
After all, there is a certain boundary between the world of cultivation and the world of mortal dust. Under normal circumstances, practitioners are not allowed to arbitrarily interfere with people in the world.
Why is this so, the little black dragon can't say, it is said that this is a convention.
It also advised Wang Baoshan to leave early, if he stayed here for a long time, he would inevitably not be involved. When the time comes, it will be difficult to get out of trouble.
Wang Baoshan also knew the powerful relationship, so he would find Xiao Heilong to discuss one or two.
He looked at the current little black dragon, it seemed that compared to before, not only had his cultivation improved a lot, but even his knowledge had become more and more.
This surprised him a little, and he asked it again.
The little black dragon didn't hide it, and told him that maybe it was its own remnant soul, and as it gradually repaired, its lost memories were also repaired little by little.
This is really a happy thing, and Wang Baoshan is also a lot happier with it.
The little black dragon is becoming more and more spiritual, which is also a good thing for himself, and it is also beneficial to his cultivation.
In this way, he and the little black dragon chatted until dawn.
After washing, Tian Wei brought them breakfast again.
While eating, Wang Baoshan found that Xie Zhilong did not come over, and asked Tian Wei to say goodbye.
He said that he wanted to go to the back mountain of Qingshui Village as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of the flint powder.
Tian Wei did not shirk, according to their earlier agreement, this was also his part.
He also led Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun to the back mountain of Qingshui Village, pointing to a sheep intestine path, saying that from this path to the mountain, you can reach the depths of the back mountain.
After Wang Baoshan thanked him, he told what happened last night, so that Tian Wei could be on guard.
As for who the black shadow was, he didn't say it clearly, hoping that Tian Wei wouldn't startle the snake, so as not to cause any extraneous branches.
After hearing this, Tian Wei was a little skeptical, and expressed his gratitude to Wang Baoshan, saying that he would be fully prepared to deal with unexpected incidents.
He also told them that if they found what they were looking for, they could come back to the water village and stay for a few days.
Wang Baoshan also nodded in agreement, saying that he would definitely bother him afterwards.
The two thanked each other like this, and after that, Wang Baoshan took Lu Yun and walked into the sheep intestine path.
Tian Wei, on the other hand, returned to Shuizhai and prepared to go to Juyi Hall to meet several leaders.
At this time, the lobby was overcrowded and tense.
"Second Uncle......"
Tian Wei stepped forward and greeted the man sitting in the hall and the first chair.
This hero is the big leader of Qingshui Village, Tian Dang, known as the mixed water wolf.
At this time, he was discussing important matters with other leaders, and when he saw Tian Wei suddenly arrive, there were some differences.
And said, "Hehe...... If it's not an important matter, I'll say it in private, now is not the time to ......."
Since Tian Wei called him second uncle, presumably the identity of this Tian Wei is not clear.
"Second Uncle......"
After Tian Wei heard this, he stopped talking a little. After he looked at the other people, he saw that they were all frowning, and the expressions on their faces were a little unsightly.
He didn't want to share a little for them, so he said: "The news I brought back last night may not be comprehensive, but today a friend of mine suddenly told me......"
Although he didn't pay much attention to Wang Baoshan's words, he still had to tell a few leaders in the water village about this kind of thing.
Tian Wei re-told his second uncle and the rest of the leaders sitting there what Wang Baoshan said.
When everyone present heard this, they were all shocked.
Tian Dang immediately asked, "Who is this friend of yours, and how does he know?"
Tian Wei did not hide it, and gave a detailed account of the situation between Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun.
What is the unknown origin, the magical wall-piercing technique, and the amount of alcohol that is not drunk in a thousand glasses...... and so on, all of which Tian Wei himself has seen and heard about Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun.
When everyone listened, no one spoke, and everyone fell into silence.
I don't know if they are amazed by the strangeness of Wang Baoshan and Lu Yun, or the origin of the two of them.
Perhaps, it was more that they couldn't believe that the city lords of Pingshui City had sent their subordinates to lurk in Qingshui Village for the sake of their daughters, wanting to exchange news.
"Who is this inner ghost, can your friend explain?"
He didn't explain this, and it seemed that he was a little concerned...... It could also be someone close to us. ”
Tian Wei was also puzzled, because Wang Baoshan did not say everything he heard last night.
He just told Tian Wei to be more vigilant, saying that there might be spies from the city lord in the water village.
Tian Dang listened, and no longer spoke, but frowned, and glanced at the people in the Juyi Hall.
He noticed that they were all pondering, and seemed to be thinking about the situation in the water village, trying to find out who the ghost was.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whether the information is true or not, it seems that we need to be fully prepared for the inevitable strife......"
When everyone heard this, they talked about it one after another, and they were all thinking about countermeasures.
After a while, Tian Dang said again: "Before discussing how to deal with it, for that inner ghost, let's not touch him for the time being, so as not to startle the snake, it's good!"
The other leaders were all people who understood the gods, and immediately catered to Tian Dang's statement.
For the rest of the time, they each expressed their own opinions, and after Tian Dang's decision-making, in the end, everyone always thought that for the time being, they would not be quiet and only prepare in secret.
As for what kind of response method it is, they did not say it clearly, but just waited and saw what happened, and then made arrangements without mentioning it.
In the afternoon, Tian Wei walked out of the Juyi Hall and went to the community of thatched huts.
He went to Xie Zhilong's resting house to see him, but found that there was no one in the house.
Last night's big drink, this Xie Zhilong drank a little too much, and he was even drunk.
This morning, Tian Wei thought that he was still not sober, and did not bother him, wanting him to sleep more.
For this friend who has known each other for a long time, Tian Wei thinks that he still knows a little, and he also knows how much he drinks, and knows that he can't drink much.
Moreover, this Xie Zhilong, every time he finishes drinking, he will sleep in the dark, and he can't wake up without a day and a night.
It was precisely because of this that Tian Wei was so worried about him, and he was still thinking about whether he had slept well.
However, Xie Zhilong, who was not strong enough to drink, disappeared.
