Chapter 26: Midnight

"The disciple in the door is missing?!"

The old man with a gray beard sitting on the top got the news from his apprentice from the capital, and he stood up in surprise. Starters, oh dear

How could it be missing?

The disappearance is not a trivial matter, or such a large-scale disappearance of disciples, if one is not done well, Lubanmen will suffer heavy losses. He is not Zhao Jinlin, nor is he Elder Xu, but one of the most core elders in the upper echelons of Lubanmen......

Unexpectedly, not only did I not find out the news, but I also lost people.

The nature of this matter is different, it is directly related to the lives of the disciples in the sect, and he can't do it if he doesn't come forward. At this time, their core elders must come forward to preside.

For a while, he was also a little anxious, Lu Banmen hadn't encountered this kind of thing for many years.

"You go down first." Elder Chen Liu waved his hand, and the disciple respectfully stepped back.

At this time, a person came from behind the hall, and before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first.

"Senior brother, this time, I'm afraid it's ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Elder Chen Liu's face sank.

"I'm afraid the other party is coming for that thing."

"You mean ......"

Elder Chen Liu instantly understood that if it was that thing, there were really countless people who wanted to snatch it. They carefully maintain their secrets to this day, but it is inevitable that some gossip will be leaked, they have nothing in Lubanmen, and only this is worth grabbing by others.

"Eh, I can't avoid it." Chen Liu sighed.

"This time, even if we knew that the other party was coming for us, we had to come forward. People have tied up our disciples as bargaining chips, this time it's a disciple, next time, I don't know who it will be. Be careful......"

"Keep that thing, it's also ......" The junior brother frowned and wanted to say something, but he immediately stopped.

I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people staring at this thing, it is better not to have it than to cause a bloody storm in the door, hello, hello, hello, everyone, live a peaceful life.

"That's what Master Zu left behind, eh, that's it." Chen Liu waved his hand stupidly, "Let's see how to solve this matter, we have lost the opportunity and are very passive." ”

But no, the news was only conveyed to Chen Liu in the end, and they didn't know what was going on, and they were naturally not as sensitive to the information as others who were in direct contact. Not to mention paying attention to the existence of Minglu and his party.

It is clear that they must be quick to get by.

They are afraid that if they don't act earlier, the other party will have to be on guard. So before the other party realized it, they got the clues so quickly and reacted, and finished the investigation.

The skeleton was found.

But what does the skeleton mean, and what clues are behind it, connect a qiē together.

Minglu also needed someone to help her piece together the broken map.

And this person is Elder Xu.

That night, Ming Lu touched into Elder Xu's house, and sure enough, something so big happened, how could he go to bed early and be sober.

"Elder Xu." Minglu entered quietly, said softly, and bowed down to make a series.

Elder Xu was so frightened by her that he almost dropped the cup in his hand, and when he saw that he was about to stand up and scold loudly, Minglu squinted slightly, and said sharply: "Elder Xu, don't do anything to startle the snake and attract the traitor." ”

"Mole?!"

Elder Xu's eyes widened, and he was stunned on the spot, he thought that he was hallucinating, how could the word traitor appear in Lubanmen? Probably too comfortable for a long time, he almost forgot what was going on in the sinister rivers and lakes.

Obviously, he still didn't believe it, but he lowered his voice: "You don't want to stir up the relationship between our door, what is your intention!" ”

"If I have intentions, I also hope that Elder Xu can help us." Ming Lu took a few steps to get on the stool, "I know you don't want to see us, but now we're all half-hearted, so let's have a good talk and exchange useful information with each other." ”

Elder Xu stared at her for a while, frowning: "Why." ”

"I know more clues than you." There are no moles to hold them back.

Elder Xu was silent, as if he was thinking about whether cooperating with Minglu could really be beneficial. In fact, people didn't do anything to hold them back, and even, they were quite efficient. But Elder Xu just doesn't trust people outside the sect very much, but she says that she is a traitor......

Elder Xu was afraid for a while.

It was already spring, and the climate was gradually getting warmer, but at this moment, he felt a chill down his spine.

The night is as cool as water.

Outside, in the empty courtyard, the sound of quiet footsteps slowly stepped here.

"Click-Click-Click......"

The corners of the caftan dragged a small shadow on the bluestone slab.

It's Zhao Jinlin.

Inside the house, Elder Xu had already begun to waver.

A little girl didn't dare to play tricks in front of him.

"Tell me, what's going on with the mole." Elder Xu finally relented, he just had a bad temper and a hard temper, it was not that he didn't know the current affairs, and he could still carry it at the critical moment.

Minglu raised her eyebrows: "I'm afraid it will scare you when I say it." ”

Elder Xu's eyebrows showed a Sichuan character, as soon as she said this, basically the candidates were fixed on those people, but Elder Xu couldn't believe it, and the impact was too great: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense." ”

"No nonsense."

Elder Xu: "......"

Ming Lu cleared his throat: "I won't say the specifics for the time being." I'll tell you about this, in the afternoon we were going to Haicheng to look for clues, but we were just about to go, but before we got there, we called to ask, and they said that the two workers were missing and never came back. You say, is this a coincidence? The decision to go to Haicheng was just made when we were a guest with you. ”

"As soon as we went to investigate, the person was gone."

Elder Xu heard the hint in Ming Lu's words, and his face changed slightly.

Minglu continued: "Fortunately, I kept a hand, I originally wanted to test it, but I didn't expect it to come true." We simply went our separate ways and continued all the way to Haicheng, while Xiao Yucheng and I went to Senhe's project, where we caught people. ”

"You've got someone?!"

Elder Xu suddenly became excited, and put aside the matter of the traitor for the time being, as soon as Ming Lu said it, he had a guess in his heart, although he couldn't believe it, there were always doubts that began to take root.

"Dead people." Minglu smiled but not smiled.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, and the wind rustled the trees in the courtyard.

"Dead people?!"

Seeing this, Ming Lu threw out a Polaroid photo, which showed a skeleton in a worker's uniform.

"Elder Xu should know that these skeleton people should have been created using some secret methods." Minglu said, "The appearance is no different from normal people, the only flaw and weakness is that their hands are always white bones, but fortunately, they must wear gloves on the construction site so that they will not be discovered." ”

"In this way, the question of why so many projects suffer from carpentry is solved."

"But what I still don't understand is what kind of clues can be deduced from this skeleton, which requires your help, Elder Xu." Ming Lu looked at Elder Xu.

She doesn't know about Lubanmen, and if she continues to investigate, she must understand the actual situation of Lubanmen, so as to deduce it.

Minglu found that when Elder Xu saw the skeleton, the aura of the whole person was different, and he was completely calm, motionless, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to understand something from it.

It's not seeming, it's already.

"Elder Xu." Minglu called him softly.

Elder Xu stared at the picture motionlessly, the light faintly reflected on his face that began to be wrinkled, showing a bit of wisdom. Halfway, he closed his eyes slightly and said, "Miss Ming, do you know about the Book of Luban." ”

"There have been some rumors in the rivers and lakes."

But no, there are various versions, the more mysterious things are, the more people speculate, just the Luban book, the gossip is almost like a star, endless, true and false.

"Eh, this matter shouldn't have been told to you, you're not from our sect......" Elder Xu's tone softened a lot, "But now is the moment of life and death, and I can't care so much." What's the use of keeping that thing if it's gone? ”

"Elder Xu, don't worry, I will keep it a secret." Minglu said seriously.

Elder Xu waved his hand: "Confidentiality? It's not necessary, instead of hiding and hiding, looking for people to be red, and causing disaster, it's better to find a way to deal with him properly, maybe after this time, the top will have other ideas. ”

After a pause, Elder Xu continued, and this time, he got to the point: "Everyone in the world has said that the original copy of the Luban book has been lost, but in fact, it may not be. ”

Minglu had already known it, but she wasn't too surprised.

"It's just that you should also know that the spells in Luban's book are good and bad, and even our people from Lubanmen won't practice all of them, and the master won't teach them. So for so many years, in fact, most of them have relied on the master to teach some routine cultivation spells, and the real Luban book has never been taken out. Even the elders above will not practice spells that have not been passed down in the real book. ”

They are not some evil sect, and the disciples are not allowed to do great evil in the sect, those powerful but easy to use spells, they think that they have no benefit, and over time, the true copy of Lu Ban's book will be shelved.

"I only vaguely know a little, the people who really master the "Book of Luban" are the elders at the core, and only they know where the real book is hidden."

Ming revealed: "Then it can be explained that the other party is actually trying to force the elders to come forward, so that they can know where the real book is hidden, right." ”

Elder Xu looked at her and nodded.

Although neither of them said their names, they knew the person behind this pronoun, and Elder Xu also muttered in his heart.

"Actually, seeing this photo, I can vaguely guess what the other party's purpose is. But I also knew about this by chance, otherwise, I would never have thought of it......"

"Do you know what the last form of the Book of Luban is?"

Elder Xu lowered his voice and looked at each other, and the atmosphere became more and more strange and condensed.

"What."

She was curious.

Elder Xu stretched out his finger and tapped the photo, and his voice was slightly hoarse, which was particularly clear in the dark night:

"Life and death, flesh and bones."

Click......

Click......

The footsteps grew closer and closer, until they landed in front of the door.

Zhao Jinlin's face was as usual, and the cold moonlight fell on his gray robe, which was light and light.

He reached out and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock."

The dull sound of percussion suddenly sounded, like a midnight bell.

After a while, Elder Xu got up and opened the door, and when he saw Zhao Jinlin, his face was still full of sadness and extremely depressed.

Zhao Jinlin's gaze crossed Elder Xu's shoulder, intentionally or unintentionally fell on the table, the scattered wine cups in the room were scattered, the room was full of wine, and Elder Xu was obviously blushing a little when he drank.

"Senior brother, it's so late, why don't you rest."

Elder Xu pursed his lips: "At this time, how can I be in any mood to rest, senior brother, you can leave me alone, when I get tired later, I will go to sleep by myself." ”

"Okay." Zhao Jinlin seemed a little uneasy, and said a few more words, "I know that you are worried about your apprentice, but you must also take care of your body and don't drink too much." ”

"Senior brother, I know ......"

Elder Xu was still the same as usual, his temper was stinky and hard, he didn't listen to people's persuasion much, and he was often impatient.

"Eh, that's it, I'll go back and rest first."

Zhao Jinlin said a few words, then turned around and walked back to the courtyard, the tall and thin figure was quickly submerged in the boundless darkness.

And Elder Xu has not closed the door for a long time, the moment Zhao Jinlin left, he put his still cloudy eyes, suddenly sober and sharp, looking at Zhao Jinlin's distant back, for a long time, neatly turned around, closed the door.

……

The turmoil in the capital secretly has nothing to do with most of the ordinary people in the city, and they are still living their lives step by step.

Minglu is the same, when she is not in a hurry to check things for the time being, she continues to be busy with the studio.

From Elder Xu's side, she has already obtained a lot of useful information, and with her eyebrows, she is no longer in a hurry and thinks about it in the long run.

Now the studio has been renovated, and Marshal Zhao, the God of Wealth, is also enshrined.

Zheng Yihan and the others usually have nothing to do in the company, and they will chat with the God of Wealth, and let the old man give him some pointers.

Minglu has also maintained a good relationship with several customers who were originally pulled.

Song Zhixue happily photographed the company's feng shui business before, and when it came to the appointed day, Minglu had to come to show her feng shui.

Now Song Zhixue is proud of the spring breeze, since she was named in Yue Lao, her love road is getting smoother and smoother, as soon as she falls in love, she is in a good mood, she is in a good mood, she is positive in everything, and her work efficiency has become much higher. It's not getting smoother.

Looking at feng shui this time, Song Zhixue wanted to trouble Minglu to urge a fortune and a career.

"Song Zhixue, you packed up and rushed back so quickly, in a hurry to reincarnate?" As soon as Agent Li came to the advertising set, he learned that Song Zhixue had completed her work efficiently and packed her bags and was ready to go home.

I really don't know what this girl thinks lately, she always runs home, well-behaved, but she's too homely, she doesn't go out to socialize, and she can't do it.

"It's more urgent than reincarnation!"

Song Zhixue put on her shoulder bag, put on sunglasses, shook her hair, and said with a smile.

"What the hell?" Agent Li was helpless, "No, you explain it to me clearly, how can you not have a little social life as soon as you go home from work?" ”

"I have." Song Zhixue is very innocent.

Agent Li frowned: "It's too little." ”

"Huh! Brother Li, what are you anxious about, I don't have to worry about this, you let me go home first, I'm in a hurry. Song Zhixue muttered.

"What's the time?" Agent Li was not angry.

"I made an appointment with the master to help me see feng shui today, I can't lose my trust with the master." That's her big thick legs, absolutely and definitely have to hug Master Ming's big thick legs tightly.

People can invite God's sisters!

Agent Li reprimanded: "It's that master again, what kind of ** medicine did he pour you in, so that you believe him so desperately, and you still look at feng shui, and you are not afraid of being deceived!" ”

Song Zhixue was helpless: "Even if I am poured ** medicine, I am willing!" ”

Agent Li was completely speechless, this girl is a magic barrier at all.

"You're like this, and you still say that you haven't been deceived, and you're chattering all day long......"

"No, I'm not worried, I'll go back with you today, I want to see what kind of character that so-called master is." Agent Li decided to teach Song Zhixue what it is to know people clearly, don't take any master to his home and watch feng shui.

"Eh......"

Before Song Zhixue agreed, Agent Li directly pulled her into the nanny car.

Get!

I just hope that Brother Li has a little bit of an eye and doesn't offend the master.

People are people who are old enough to be in the background, and it is not good to reunite after a long time without a long time if you are not happy to give you a piece of running with the ball for ten years.
