Chapter 13: Searching for Rats
Shen Pang was full of curiosity, so he naturally didn't want to miss it, so he nodded.
Liu Xuan really has a secret.
The door of the hotel would not be closed all night, but the front desk attendant was already asleep in the chair behind the counter, and it was 2:20 in the morning.
After leaving the door of the hotel, Shen Pang looked at the street, the street lights had been extinguished early, although there was a moon, but today it was only the ninth day of the first month, the moon was only half bent, not very bright, and it seemed to be a half-hazy shadow in the distance.
"Where are you going?" Shen Pang asked Liu Xuan quietly.
"Go to the theater!" Liu Xuan replied again, turned his head to look at Shen Pang and smiled, and said, "Shen Pang, I've lost my eyes, you can't be a person in the wind gate!" ”
"What is a damper?" Shen Pang asked in surprise, "It's a strange name, it's a bit of a river and lake flavor, but I've only heard of Shaolin, Wudang, and a lot of martial arts novels, but I haven't heard of 'Fengmen', is Fengmen a tourist attraction or what company?" ”
Liu Xuan was stunned, staring at Shen Pang pondering, Shen Pang had a simple and straightforward expression on his face when he spoke, and he couldn't see the slightest expression of lie in his eyes, in his opinion, Shen Pang was undoubtedly a Jianghu person who hid his secrets like him, he didn't notice the spiritual aura in Shen Pang's body, and guessed that Shen Pang also had the same hidden ability as him, which was also the reason why he didn't guess that Shen Pang was a Jianghu person before, he hid it too well!
In fact, the reason for Liu Xuan to confirm that Shen Pang is the same as him is not these, it is the reason for the mouse tonight, it is not an ordinary mouse, if you don't practice spiritual sense, it is impossible to detect its movements.
But it's too strange, Shen Pang doesn't look like he's lying, if he really didn't lie, then he was clearly an ordinary person who didn't know anything about their world, but why did he have the ability to detect mice?
After pondering for a long time, Liu Xuan stared at Shen Pang and asked, "Do you really don't know or fake don't know?" ”
Shen Pang spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "What do you say? ”
Liu Xuan groaned, "That mouse...... You saw it at night, and it stole a piece of dark crystal from me. ”
"How can a rat steal something? What kind of stone is black crystal? Is it valuable? The strangeness and questions in Shen Pang's heart became heavier and heavier, and he wanted to know more and more.
Liu Xuan waved his hand with an indifferent expression: "Black crystal is not particularly valuable, and my one is not very pure, it is of little value to ordinary people, but for people in the rivers and lakes, especially newcomers with low ability, it will be of some help, that mouse is not an ordinary mouse, its name is 'Tan Mouse', it is a spiritual thing, it loves treasures by nature, its sense of smell is super sensitive, and it can smell treasures hidden dozens of meters underground, but this mouse's ability to detect mice is not strong, and it is still young and not an adult." ”
Shen Pang listened with great interest, these things he couldn't see in the book, but there really were such animals in the real world?
However, he couldn't help but believe that the rats he saw in the afternoon could even count addition, which could almost reach the intelligence level of a human five or six-year-old child!
Liu Xuan ignored Shen Pang's excitement, sniffed around, and then pulled Shen Pang to the back street of the town, saying as he walked: "I laid a technique on the black crystal!" ”
Shen Pang let out an "oh" and suddenly realized: "Then you deliberately let that probe rat steal your spars?" What did you do? The rat ran away, what else can you know where it went? It's amazing, it's incredible! ”
Liu Xuan said casually: "What's strange about this, this is just an ordinary technique in the wind gate......
Speaking of this, Liu Xuan suddenly realized that he had shown his mouth, so he quickly stopped, glanced at Shen Pang, and then looked left and right and said to him: "Your illness is also fake, right?" The acting skills are very good at a young age, I thought it was true! ”
Shen Pang has grown short hair on his shaved head, but his eyebrows have not grown yet, and the state of chemotherapy is obvious, so Liu Xuan also felt that he was telling the truth at first.
Shen Pang smiled bitterly and pointed to his head: "How can it be fake?" I also think it's fake, but the reality is very cruel, my disease is already in an advanced stage, and there is no cure! ”
Liu Xuan was surprised, he felt Shen Pang's sincerity full, and after thinking about it, he asked him again: "I see that you can even sense the movement of the mouse, at least it is the realm of the beginning of spiritual consciousness, and I can't sense your spiritual sense, and it is not possible for ordinary beginners to hide spiritual consciousness, unless there is a spiritual weapon talisman given by the elder master to help hide the aura of spiritual consciousness, I don't know which sect you are a disciple of......
Shen Pang still smiled bitterly but said with anticipation: "I haven't even heard of it, what I want to say is what I just heard you say, as for spiritual sense...... To tell you the truth, I met a strange old man when I was in the hospital, he gave me a mantra, and he didn't say how to practice and disappeared, I practiced by myself, what do you say to hide the aura of spiritual consciousness, I don't know how to do it at all! ”
Liu Xuan was surprised and surprised, it is possible for a master of the rivers and lakes to teach his apprentices when he meets someone with good understanding, but at least he will know the inside story, right? And Shen Pang didn't know how to hide the aura of spiritual sense, but his aura of spiritual sense was clearly and hidden at all, he tried it many times with his spiritual sense and couldn't find it, and it was not for nothing that he could hide his breath by practicing qi, but it was definitely a very rare and extremely clever secret method of mind transmission, how could he, an ordinary boy who didn't know anything, be taught by a blind cat and a dead mouse?
Although he doubted and speculated, Liu Xuan didn't ask, the Jianghu sect cherished their own cultivation methods, and he was a Jianghu native who naturally understood such rules, so if he didn't ask, he would definitely not say it if he asked Shen Pang.
Unconsciously uphill, Shen Pang found that Liu Xuan took him to the back street and went to the direction of the mountain, the mountain road was grassless, and it was a faint white line from a distance.
I remember Liu Xuan told him that he was going to "watch a play", and he didn't know what kind of play it was.
There are trees on the mountain, and the woods in the lush places cover the moonlight, and you can't see the underground road, but Liu Xuan is still striding forward, as if he is walking on a bright and dignified road, and he can't hear any footsteps.
This did not make Shen Pang strange, when he climbed the slope, his aura was running, and his spiritual sense sensed where he was, although his eyes could not see clearly, but his mind was like a mirror, and the scenes around his body at least five or six meters away were clearly imprinted in his mind, so he would not make a mistake.
After about half an hour, Liu Xuan stopped after climbing a slope beam, listened sideways for a while, and then turned to Shen Pang and whispered: "We are hiding here, don't go over again, hehe, there must be a lot of people coming, eight immortals have crossed the sea, hehe......"
Shen Pang didn't understand what he meant, so he shrank in the grass and looked ahead, and then over, there were a few lights flickering two hundred meters away, and someone was there.
If you look closely, the lights are seven or eight flashlights, and there are many people, as if they are digging something.
Liu Xuan squatted down, he was carrying a bag on his back, his figure was a little fat and bloated, he couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully at night, Shen Pang also saw that he felt something in the bag behind him that seemed to be a telescope or something.
But you can't see anything with a telescope at night, right?
Liu Xuan looked at it and handed the "telescope" to Shen Pang: "Look at it, this is a new night vision device I brought back from abroad, military-grade!" ”
Of course, Shen Pang knew what the "night vision device" was, so he took it and put it on his eyes to take a look, good guy, the scene two hundred meters away was presented in front of him like a high-definition picture!
There were seven men in black clothes digging the ground with shovels and other tools, and there was a person watching the command on the side, Shen Pang could see clearly from the night vision device that this person was actually the "mouse" homeless man he saw on the road in the afternoon!
The mouse, with its mink-like fur, squatted motionless on the shoulder of the homeless man, and the homeless man was playing with something in his hand, and if he looked closely, he could see that it was the black crystal that the mouse had taken from Liu Xuan's clothes.
What are these guys digging for?
Tomb robbing?
But look at that location doesn't look like a grave!
Shen Pang has only seen the rumors of tomb robbery in novels or movies and television, and his place has not had many years of cultural history, and there have been no historical figures, so there are basically no tomb robbers.
This is the first time I have seen someone digging a pit in the field in the middle of the night.
Shen Pang looked at it for a while before asking Liu Xuan in a low voice: "Brother Liu, are they robbing the tomb?" ”
Liu Xuan shook his head and said, "It's not a tomb robbery, it's Zhang Laoba who invited a group of people to help him dig things." ”
Shen Pang pointed to the homeless man and said, "Is Zhang Laoba the homeless man?" What are they digging? ”
"Yes, this Zhang Laoba is a person in the door, I have heard of his name, I heard that he has a treasure hunting spirit object to detect rats, so I guess it is him, he is looking for that thing with the ability to detect rats, but ...... Hehe, since that thing is so mysterious and difficult to find, how can it be easy for him to get it, it is said that that thing appeared in Wuyan, and in the past few days, Wuyan has met in all directions, and the dark tide is surging, there must be a big drama to be staged! ”
No matter how smart Shen Pang was, he couldn't understand Liu Xuan's words, but he understood that from the moment he met the old man, he had already stepped into this unheard of and unheard of strange world of rivers and lakes!
Liu Xuan was not in a hurry, he took out two bottles of drinks from his bag, and handed one to Shen Pang: "Come, drink some drinks and sit and wait, don't worry, wait and watch the show!" ”
Shen Pang is at ease, of course he is not in a hurry, but in his heart he wants to figure out the world of rivers and lakes that Liu Xuan said, in his own world of ordinary people, his brain tumor terminal disease cannot be cured, but in Liu Xuan's world, maybe there is a way to cure it!
After another half hour, the seven men were tired from digging, and they were nagging while drinking water.
Liu Xuan lightly knocked Shen Pang and pointed to the front: "Let's go, let's go quietly and step forward a little." ”
The two of them walked forward in the grass for more than 100 meters, until they were only more than 20 meters away from Zhang Laoba's excavation site.
At this distance, I could already hear Zhang Laoba's voice, only to see him touch a bundle of banknotes from his body and throw it into the hands of one of them, saying: "This is 10,000 yuan, hurry up and dig up, if you can't dig anything tonight, you only have this 10,000 yuan of wages, if you dig something, I will give you another 20,000 yuan, if you want to earn this money, then you can dig it quickly, and you can only withdraw when it is dawn!" ”
