Chapter 340: Someone Comes, Something to Ask For!
Second, I ask for a monthly pass, please support me
Ignoring Hua Die's objections, the two abandoned her directly and left quickly.
A limousine, parked not far from the shop. The driver waited there, saw the two coming, and immediately opened the car door to welcome them into the car.
"Toot ......"
As soon as the engine sounded, the car soon set off for the remote suburbs.
Soon after, the car stopped in the barren mountain, and Qi Xiang looked through the car window and saw a house on the mountain, as if it had been ravaged by someone, scattered and dilapidated.
"Is it so serious?"
Qi Xiang got out of the car, stopped to look, and frowned. Although after listening to Hua Wenwu's statement, he knew that the house was struck by lightning and there was a fire again. He originally thought that the fire would be extinguished due to heavy rain, but he did not expect that the situation would be more serious than he imagined.
The entire house, a dozen houses, burned down at least half of it. Even if the brick walls and the like were not damaged, the wooden planks and tiles on the roof were all melted.
The ruined houses can be seen in the color of burnt yellow and jet black.
Without waiting for Hua Wenwu to greet him, Qi Xiang approached straight and came to the door of the house. At this moment, the door of the house also burned down, and only a lone silhouette remained.
The flowers and trees in the courtyard of the house could not escape the disaster, and they were roasted to the outside and tender on the inside, and the branches and leaves withered.
"Miserable ......"
Qi Xiang glanced around, unable to bear to look directly.
"Dao Chief."
At the same time, Hua Wenwu walked over, and his expression was not much sad. Don't say that the house only burned down most of it, even if it was all reduced to ashes, he wouldn't be much sad.
After all, as a local tyrant, he will definitely not take it in his eyes as an old house. Even if the house burns to dust, he can pay for it at any time. Ask someone to restore another building on the original site.
And it's exactly the same, repaired as before.
Therefore, Hua Wenwu doesn't care about whether the house is intact or not, but what he cares more about is some abnormal conditions that occur in the house.
For example, the big pit.
At this time, Hua Wenwu said in a low voice: "Dao Chief, please move to the back garden......
"Backyard?" Qi Xiang's eyebrows moved. Immediately thought of the big pit in the back garden. At that moment, he didn't have the slightest objection, and followed Hua Wenwu to the back house.
Along the way, the broken tiles that fell down were scattered all over the ground, which can be regarded as some small obstacles.
The two of them didn't mind, they stopped and went, and soon arrived at the back house.
Walk to the back of the house. As soon as Qi Xiang saw the big pit, he knew why Hua Wenwu wanted to invite him over to watch the situation.
Because last night, it rained heavily. The rainfall is so abundant that even the boundary of Dongting Lake has risen by a few inches. But in the big pit, there is still no dripping water. Even the soil is dry and has no moisture.
It's abnormal. There must be demons when abnormal.
Even here, it is limestone and the water can penetrate the ground. However, after being watered by heavy rain, some wet marks will be left behind.
But this big pit, not to mention wet marks, there is not even moisture. On the contrary, as soon as you walk into the pit, you can feel a sultry breath rushing in, as if you are walking in the desert in the scorching sun.
"It's weird."
Qi Xiang looked down, his mind turning back and forth.
"Dao Chief, how is it?"
Hua Wenwu couldn't help but speak: "This pit ...... It seems strange. and yesterday's thunder fire, which also came a little inexplicably. My house is not a top-notch building. ”
"Even if you want to split, you have to split the trees on the mountain first, there is no reason to split the house."
Hua Wenwu hesitated, and his voice suddenly lowered a little: "The most important thing is that last night's heavy rain almost flooded the streets, but this big pothole, there is no water at all, and it is also very unreasonable." ”
“…… Good eyesight and meticulous observation. ”
Qi Xiang nodded, and then jumped into the pit lightly, looking at it as he walked.
"Dao Chief, be careful."
Hua Wenwu was slightly startled, and immediately with a little uneasiness, after hesitating for a moment, he also followed him to the pit, and Xue Qixiang looked around.
However, Hua Wenwu felt that this thing was weird at most, and he really let him see it, but he couldn't see any clues.
It's just that Hua Wenwu thought that Qi Xiang, a master, once wanted to buy this house. Now that there is a strange problem in the house, it is natural to contact him, so I simply asked him to come over and help check it.
After looking at it for a long time, Hua Wenwu couldn't help but ask, "Dao Chief, have you found anything?" ”
"There is ......"
Qi Xiang calmly pointed to his hand: "This pit has also been struck by thunder." ”
"Huh?"
Hua Wenwu was suddenly taken aback: "Really? ”
"It shouldn't be true."
Qi Xiang squatted down, grabbed a handful of dry sediment casually, and gestured: "This scorching trace looks like the remnants left after the thunder fire was incinerated. ”
"It's very similar to ......" Hua Wenwu thought so, and then hesitated: "So, the anomaly in the big pit may be that the thunder fire fell down and evaporated the stagnant water?" ”
“…… You can understand it the same way. ”
The corners of Qi Xiang's mouth twitched, revealing a little smile: "Actually, you can rest assured." You must know the power of thunder, which can subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, and eliminate the demon and ward off evil spirits. Even if there was something unclean in the house, now it was destroyed by the thunder and fire, and it was impossible to still be able to cause trouble. ”
"Ah......h
When Hua Wenwu heard this, he was suddenly shocked and overjoyed: "Thank you for reminding me, I thought too much." ”
"Hmm."
Qi Xiang smiled, turned around and said, "Since it's okay, let's go." ”
"Uh......"
Hua Wenwu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, hurriedly stepped forward, led the way in front, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, I'm sorry, for this little thing, I bothered you to run for nothing." ”
"It's okay......"
Qi Xiang didn't care: "I've been in the shop for a long time, it's okay to come out for a walk." ”
The two of them said as they walked away from the house. After all, the house caught fire, and it was poured by heavy rain, and there was a vague smell everywhere, which didn't smell very good, so it was natural to take two steps faster.
When leaving the house, Qi Xiang glanced at the afterglow of his eyes. The gaze was a little strange. He had explored it just now, and it seemed that the passage that connected the pit and the secret realm no longer existed.
"Broken, cut off from ......"
Qi Xiang pondered silently: "I don't know if it was the old Taoist priest who did it, or because of the thunder tribulation." ”
Lacking sufficient information, he was also unsure of the situation. However, it is certain that something has definitely happened to the secret realm, so that even the secret realm passage has been destroyed.
Qi Xiang was really curious, and even had an impulse to throw himself into the lake immediately...... Cough. Dive into Dongting Lake to see if the passage connecting the bottom of the lake to the secret realm has also been destroyed.
However, Qi Xiang still had some determination in the end and restrained this impulse.
Immediately, under the warm greeting of Hua Wenwu, Qi Xiang got into the car again and returned to the city store briskly.
The return journey was fast, about half an hour. I went back to the shop smoothly.
Qi Xiang got out of the car and was about to enter the door, but he had an omen in his heart, which made him stagnate. Stopped at the door.
Hua Wenwu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, what's wrong?" ”
“…… It's okay. ”
Qi Xiang shook his head and said softly, "It seems." There are customers in the store. ”
"Guest?"
Hua Wenwu looked at it in confusion, and saw that there were no vehicles parked around the shop. Inside the doorway. There was also a big screen blocking the view, and there were no guests.
Qi Xiang didn't answer, stood at the door and calmed down, took a light breath, and his expression became very solemn.
"It's time to come, it's still coming."
Qi Xiang's eyes flowed, and he rose to the challenge: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." I want to see who is waiting for me. ”
In an instant, Qi Xiang strode into the shop, his eyes swept away, but he was stunned.
"Master, you're back."
At the right time, the flower butterfly is like a real butterfly, fluttering and fluttering. There seemed to be a hint of nervousness on her face. After seeing Qi Xiang, he exhaled.
“…… There's a weirdo coming. ”
Hua Die approached and whispered, "You just went out, and he came." After coming in, he didn't speak, just sat there, very scary, and I was worried about whether he was a bad person, and wondered if I should call the police......"
"Got it."
Qi Xiang's eyes were contemplative, and he waved his hand slowly: "You guys go back first, I want to entertain guests." ”
"What?"
Hua Die was stunned, and then her apricot eyes widened: "Master, you are too ruthless, cross the river and tear down the bridge!" ”
"Fluttershy, don't talk nonsense."
Hua Wenwu was very discerning, and hurriedly pulled Hua Die over, and then said with a smile: "Dao Chief, you have something to do, we won't bother much, and we will visit another day." ”
"What to see, go and go......"
Hua Wenwu was very knowledgeable, pulled Hua Butterfly brutally, ignored her stumbling, and left the shop directly.
"It's good to go, don't send it."
Qi Xiang really didn't send it, and he didn't even turn his head, just looked at the cloaked man sitting on the rattan chair fixedly. The customers in the store, up and down, were wrapped in a layer of black robes, together with a cloak covering their heads, like a person in a suit.
Not to mention the appearance, even what kind of figure it is, you can't tell it. However, at first glance, Qi Xiang could be sure that this was his old acquaintance with the strange aura emanating from that person.
While Qi Xiang was looking at the other party, he could also sense that the other party was also observing him.
For a while, the two looked at each other in silence for a long time.
After a while, it was Qi Xiang who opened his mouth and broke the silence: "Senior, something?" ”
Qi Xiang's heartstrings have been buckled, not only on guard, but even the strange treasure tortoise shell is hidden in the palm of his hand, and the whole person is ready to go, just waiting to tear it apart.
didn't think about it, his wish was disappointed, and the black-robed cloaked man didn't seem to have any intention of tearing it apart. I saw that at this time, he slowly lifted his cloak, revealing the true face of Lushan.
When Qi Xiang saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and then his pupils contracted sharply, condensing into a point of needle.
"Ho ho ho ho ......" The cloaked man seemed to be smiling, and his voice was very low and hoarse: "Fellow Daoist, I have something to ask for here, I hope you don't refuse." ”
At this time, Qi Xiang's heart was like a deer bumping into each other, thumping and thumping. He took a deep breath before he could barely stabilize his mind, and his voice trembled: "Say, what's the matter?" (To be continued......)
