Chapter 157: Two of the Three
Using a knife to pick open Ma Kui's clothes, Wu Song couldn't help but sigh: Ma Kui has been lurking in Qinghe County for many years, and he is not visible, but he is also a huge greed!
On his body, he not only carried a lot of gold leaves and silver, but also several house deeds and receipts. The deed was the house in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and it turned out that although Ma Kui was in Qinghe County, he had secretly purchased several properties in the capital.
As for the receipts, they show that in the capital, Ma Kui saved several huge sums of money from different merchants.
Wu Song still vaguely remembers that the history textbook before the crossing said that in the Song Dynasty at this time, there had been "Jiaozi" and "Qian Yin", which were equivalent to the world's earliest paper money. However, in fact, the circulation scope of Jiaozi is relatively limited, mainly limited to Sichuan Province, and there are many drawbacks in circulation.
Therefore, it is more common for people to deposit a large amount of money and goods from others, and still use the contracts and receipts of both parties as evidence. At this time, there were no banks, but these merchants who deposited money and goods were generally relatively strong and had guaranteed reputation.
Unexpectedly, Wu Song made a fortune like this!
What he values more than making a fortune is that among Ma Kui's personal treasures, there are also excellent gold sore medicines, as well as two small pills. There was also an inconspicuous-looking box, but it was wrapped in layers of fine silk, a black slimy pill, I don't know what it was.
But this pill will be collected by Ma Kui closely, and it is wrapped so tightly that it is definitely not an idle thing. I don't know if it's poison or tonic, I'll take it first.
It is a pity that Wu Song did not see the most important "Situ Testament".
Previously, Wu Song had actually seen the "Situ Testament", that is, after the battle in the cemetery on the outskirts of Qinghe County, Ma Kui took the suicide note from Cui Hao's tomb, but was later snatched away by the fourth masked man.
After that, Ma Kui plotted against the fourth masked man and took the opportunity to escape, and the fourth masked man went to chase Ma Kui again. It stands to reason that the fourth masked man's martial arts are far higher than Ma Kui's. But Ma Kui is deep in mind and cunning, and it is entirely possible to take back the suicide note design from the hands of the fourth masked man.
Judging from the fact that Zhao Er and others wanted to arrest Ma Kui no matter what, it is basically certain that "Situ's Suicide Note" was recaptured by Ma Kui from the fourth masked man. As for the specific process in between, Wu Song couldn't figure it out for a while.
Could it be that this book was finally snatched away by Zhao Er and others?
The odds are not very high. Because, if "Situ's Testament" was really snatched away by Zhao Er and others, Ma Kui would never give up and let go of Zhao Er and others to chase Wu Song and Pan Jinlian.
After all, although Ma Kui is obsessed with Pan Jinlian, the "Testament of Situ" is something that Tong Guan wants, and for this thing he has been incognito in Qinghe County for so many years, it can be seen that this book is important, and he resolutely does not dare to give up easily.
Cai Jing sent Zhao Er to Qinghe County to snatch the suicide note, and later sent people to reinforcements, but Ma Kui still did not tell Tong Guan that he had won the suicide note, firstly because he was obsessed with Pan Jinlian and wanted to stay in Qinghe County for a few more days, secondly, because he was worried that after giving Tong Guan a complaint, Tong Guan would send someone else to answer him, which might rob him of his merits, and thirdly, there was a very important point, that is, he had full confidence in his martial arts and resourcefulness, and he didn't think that Zhao Er and others could snatch the suicide note away from him.
It is very likely that this "Situ Testament" was hidden elsewhere by Ma Kui.
Ma Kui was already in a different place, and it was impossible to tell Wu Song in person where the suicide note was hidden. However, Wu Song believes that as long as Ma Kui's whereabouts are secretly investigated, new clues may not be discovered.
Therefore, although he felt regretful, he was able to kill this thief, remove a big trouble, and make a windfall, Wu Song still felt that he should be content.
Arrange Pan Jinlian and her brother Wu Dalang first, and then come back with the camera to find the suicide note.
In order to destroy the corpse and prevent the government, especially Zhao Er and others, from discovering the clues of Ma Kui's killing, Wu Song still decided to bury Ma Kui hastily.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet bright and there were few pedestrians on the mountain road, Wu Song hurriedly dug a pit on the side of the road and dragged Ma Kui's body.
He grabbed one of Ma Kui's feet and dragged the corpse forward, and Ma Kui's clothes were flipped up, revealing a large wound in his waist. The wound was tightly bandaged with strips of cloth, and there were blood marks on the strips, which showed that the wound was not light.
It turned out that Ma Kui was indeed seriously injured, so that Wu Song had the possibility of killing him at this time.
Wu Song glanced at the bandaging on Marquina's wound and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
That bag is too big, no matter how seriously Ma Kui is injured, it seems that he doesn't need to be bandaged so tightly, otherwise it will be impenetrable and will only affect the healing of the wound. With an old Jianghu like Ma Kui, a person who licks blood on the knife edge and lives a life, he should not lack this kind of healing common sense.
What's more, the bandaging bulging one, if it is wrapped in clothes, it does not make people feel abrupt, but when it is revealed at this time, it makes people feel that if the bandaging is drugged, then the medicine is also too much.
If something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Wu Song shook his wrist, and with a slight cut of the knife in his hand, he picked the bandage open.
Sure enough, what was densely wrapped in the bandage was not medicine, but an oiled paper package.
The oiled paper package was tied to Ma Kui's body. Wu Song picked it out with a knife and held it in his hand, feeling very light and soft, looking at the shape like a book.
When I tore off the oiled paper, I was overjoyed!
A yellow ancient book with quaint words written on it. At this time, although Wu Song couldn't fully recognize those words, because he had seen them before, he could still conclude at a glance that this ancient book was nothing else, or-
"Situ's Testament"!
This book was snatched away by the fourth masked man, but it was taken back by Ma Kui's gang and hid it closely.
Presumably, there was also a vicious fight between Ma Kui and the fourth masked man, which made it difficult for him to get out of the battle with Zhao Er and others for a while, further consuming his strength.
In this way, Wu Song can also kill him and win this "Situ Testament"!
"Situ Testament", "Dharma Heart Sutra", "Xuannu Zhenjing", the legendary three strange books in the world, Wu Song has now obtained two of them!
Among them, the "Dharma Heart Sutra" was found on the body after crossing over, and how it fell into the hands of Wu Song was still a mystery to Wu Song himself at this time.
No matter what kind of mystery it is, in short, "Bodhidharma Heart Sutra" is a strange book, and it is genuine. It is with this book that Wu Song's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Then, since "Situ's Testament" is as famous as "Dharma Heart Sutra", it must be a great book!
