Although what Shi Quan said is very bizarre, there is nothing special, at most there are two forks in the cave that pierces the cross, and there is one more thing like a stone drum and an iron drum. The latest free chapter of this book is full ♀ of things, and there are even legends of stone bells to stone drums, and now there are a few more strange stones in the cave, Hou Liangzhu asked: "What you said is a bit unexpected, but I don't hear any danger." ”

Shi Quan said: "I said the danger is to refer to the drum-like thing, I originally thought that the stone drum dug out maybe you can find the spiritual spring, so I touched the stone drum with my hand to see if it can be loosened, who knows that the stone drum itself is loose to shake, just a shake has a change in the hole left and right turn the invisible object can only touch and walk, it is dark all around, and there is no sound, but as soon as the stone drum is shaken, I hear a lot of strange sounds coming around, there are women's laughter and children's crying, and I don't know what strange screams, I also felt dizziness, tinnitus, weakness in my hands and feet, and just wanted to run away quickly. ”

Hou Liangzhu said strangely: "Is there such a thing? According to you, the cave is very small and can't hide so many things, even if someone pretends to be a ghost in it, they can't hide it, how can that phenomenon happen? ”

Shi Quan said: "I was very panicked at first, and then I thought about it, I was not afraid of thousands of troops, but what women and children were I afraid of?" I shook my head and plucked up the courage to pull out the stone drum with all my might, who knew that if I didn't pull it out, it would be more troublesome to pull it out, I only felt a little stinging in my eyes, throat, and ears, and I felt a terrifying aura attacking, and I felt that there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at me coldly. At that time, my bones seemed to be broken, and I couldn't lift my strength, and there was a cold wind blowing through the back of my neck, which made my scalp tingle. ”

Hou Liangzhu thought for a while and said: "It seems that you have been prepared, in that case, you really can't climb back from the narrow hole the same way, think about the men who met the fairy in the legend, they probably also heard the bitter laughter of those women and children, they scrambled to go home, but you pushed me and stuck in the cave, and finally was greatly frightened and went home with nonsense and died without being cured." ”

Hou Liangzhu and Liu Qiao all licked the blood with their heads, and they had experienced this terrible incident so they were not afraid, Liu Qiao's eyes lit up at this time and asked: "Shi Baihu is saying that there are only strange things in the cave, if you don't enter the cave, there will be nothing, right?" ”

Shi Quan said: "Yes, even if you enter the cave, as long as you don't move, the stone drum is estimated to be nothing." ”

Liu Qiao nodded and continued to ask, "How did you get the trust of Daoist Long to come to this view?" ”

Shi Quan sighed and said: "I began to prepare for people to rob him of things, and then I came to help him, who knew that he was poor and had nothing to rob, and the people who monitored him also found that he would dance with a stick when he was fine, and he was very much twice, plus he was afraid of hurting him and the other was afraid that his people around him would come to help, and finally had to pretend to be pitiful and said that he couldn't find his relatives and was robbed and homeless and asked him to take him in." Fortunately, he was a kind-hearted person and needed help with things, so he took me as an apprentice and lived here, and he usually didn't have anything to do, just cooking and sweeping the floor. ”

Hou Liangzhu nodded and said, "It's right to outwit the enemy if you don't have a good opponent, what kind of person have you found out he is after so many years?" ”

Shi Quan thought for a while and said: "He is still very kind, and often tells me not to do too much, to rest more, things can't be done, as long as you can get by." It can be said that his biggest shortcoming is laziness, in addition to sleeping is eating, sometimes he will play chess with others, and people have come to him to play chess from the beginning, so I came out to find you. He doesn't know how to play chess sooner or later, sometimes he sleeps all day the next night, never does any morning class and is too lazy to talk about late class. Sometimes I can't stand it anymore, no matter how lazy a monk is, he should learn something to behave, right? Someone can fool one is not it? ”

Hou Liangzhu said: "It seems that you are more suitable than him to be the host of this view, how is he playing chess?" Are there any other drawbacks besides laziness? ”

Shi Quan said: "How to say his chess skills, I played two games with him when I first came, and I feel that he should win a horse with a big chance, and he often comes to play chess with his playmates who grew up together. If laziness is his biggest shortcoming, then the second shortcoming is that he has a broken mouth, and whenever he is free, he will keep talking, saying that he has dreams and how his master treated him well when he was a child, and sometimes saying that if he does not leave home, he may marry a little girl from a certain family, of course, that little girl is also an old woman now. ”

Hou Liangzhu laughed and said, "This is also the reason why you pretend to be dumb, right?" It's really annoying to meet someone with a broken mouth, but what if you pretend to be dumb and want to talk for a long time? ”

Shi Quan said: "If it's just a broken mouth, it's really annoying that he has to ask me this and me, and sometimes I have to evaluate his thoughts and dreams, and I have to take the opportunity to pretend to be dumb when I meet such a person." But at first I was dumb and didn't pretend, after rolling out of the cave, my throat was indeed swollen and I couldn't speak for many days, and then I was afraid that he would ask this question and that, so I had to continue to pretend to be dumb, so I panicked and ran to no one to find a dirt pit and yelled a few times. Once, when I was yelling on the ground outside, I was discovered, and he felt sorry for me when he knew it, and I wanted to talk and go crazy, so I was told to lie on the side of the well and yelled that the road was close and convenient. ”

Liu Qiao said at this time: "I know what you mean, I want to complete the task as soon as possible and go back early, I can promise you that as long as you can help complete the task this time, I will transfer you to Beijing to follow me, what do you think?" ”

When Shi Quan heard this, he saluted and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

Liu Qiao said: "It's not early and it's time to make dinner, you go down and make dinner for Daoist Long, and we'll contact you if we have something." ”

After Shi Quan left, Liu Qiao asked Hou Liangzhu: "Brother Hou, what do you think?" ”

Hou Liangzhu said: "Shi Quan shouldn't be lying, but just in case, he still sent someone to Chengdu to ask about the specific situation, what is Brother Liu going to do next?" ”

Liu Qiao said: "I don't think there are any ghosts and gods in this world, only strange things that we don't know, the echo in a semi-enclosed cave fork will be amplified, and it is very possible to scare yourself, but it is not excluded that there is a danger that we can't see." ”

Hou Liangzhu asked a little incomprehensibly: "What invisible danger?" ”

Liu Qiao said: "For example, magnets will attract iron, and there must be a connection between magnets and iron, and we can be sure that there is some kind of connection between other things, and this connection is good and bad, and it is not excluded that people and other things will also happen, which may have great benefits to people but may cause great harm to people." Those young people who meet fairies in legends, even if they are frightened at the time and cannot be cured, they cannot all die, presumably they are stuck in the hole and can't get out of the coma and are injured, Shi Quan jumps off the cliff in time and his throat will be swollen for many days, and those who have been in a coma will definitely be hurt more and die. ”

Hou Liangzhu frowned and said, "What if this is the case, what is Brother Liu going to do?" If you hurt my brother, it is nothing for me and my subordinates, Brother Liu is the person next to the emperor, if he is injured, it will be terrible. ”

Liu Qiao said: "Where am I so delicate? Now it's too late, we should divide the troops into three ways, one way to Chengdu to investigate Shi Quan to see if he is really the case, the second way to go directly up the mountain to survey the terrain preparation plan, the two of us find an opportunity to go to Daoist Long in person. He may not have a way to overcome the damage of the stone drum, but surely his master can, and perhaps it is because he knows his master's methods that he will take care of us. ”

That night, Daoist Long was indeed as obsessed with playing chess as Shi Quan said, and in the afternoon he and his chess friends fought against each other under the tree by the well for an afternoon, and at night they fought in the room at night. He knew that Shi Quan's chess skills were high, and he felt that he was a little uncomfortable by his side, so he sent Shi Quan to the main hall to guard, so as not to let the soldiers ride on Zhang Tianshi's head and provoke the Tianshi to be angry□ Qiao wanted to talk to Long Daoist and came to the west ear room, only to see Long Daoist was looking down and thinking about how to move next, and an old man with a white handkerchief wrapped around his head opposite was smoking dry tobacco while looking triumphantly, as if a little victory was in sight.

Daoist Long and the old man saw Liu Qiao and Hou Liangzhu come in and hurriedly got up to sit down, Liu Qiao hurriedly asked them to sit down and continue to play chess, he and Hou Liangzhu drew a stool and sat next to watch→ Taoist priest and the old man didn't say much, and lowered their heads and immersed themselves in the chess game□ Qiao usually likes to play chess, although there is a certain distance compared with the big players, but he is still confident in ordinary people. He saw that in the chess game, Long Daoist only had one rook and one handsome, and the old man was one rook and one veteran, and there was one more cannon, and Long Daoist occupied the middle lane should be a game of chess.

The old man saw that there were many people in this game and wanted to win, and Daoist Long was trying to find a way to support him, Liu Qiao couldn't wait and said: "This game is peaceful, and the master of Longguan will not lose as long as the car does not leave the middle." ”

The old man was a little irritable after fighting for a long time, so he said: "It seems that this official can also play chess, why don't we also play two games?" ”

As soon as Daoist Long heard that he was in the middle of the heart, he also spoke and gave up his seat to invite, Liu Qiao did not politely sit on the back cannon and started to attack, looking for a loophole and began to kill left and right, and the old man's men and horses were gone. The old man was not convinced, and when he was halfway through, he felt that there was no way to attack, and the defenders were not enough, so he had no choice but to say that the pigs at home were still waiting for him to go back to feed, and he escaped home from the desert.

Seeing that Liu Qiao's chess skills were strong, Daoist Long didn't want to humiliate himself, so he packed up his chess pieces and asked by the way: "Is there anything wrong with the two of you coming to me at night?" ”

Liu Qiao said: "We are going to go up the mountain in two days to see the places where your apprentice has been, is the Longguan Lord interested in going with us?" It is said that only your master has been to that place and has not been harmed, can you tell us what you know now and see if you can help us? ”

Daoist Long heard what Liu Qiao meant, that is, if you are useful, we will take you with you, if you are useless, then don't say anything, how far you go, don't hinder us in doing things→ Taoist priest is not stupid to say everything now, if this is the case, he has become a useless person, he thought about it and said: "My master did go to Houshan back then, and he went every year for many years, and he went every year at the beginning of July. However, I can't say what method he used to avoid danger when he got to that place, we Taoists pay attention to improvisation, maybe I can find a way to see the terrain. ”

Liu Qiao nodded and said: "I understand the specific situation, then you can make a preparation, we will go in a few days, and tomorrow we will start to let the soldiers go up the mountain to survey the terrain, and we will study a plan, we are all people who have married wives and had children, and we are not afraid of fairies, and it is not good to let the bad fairies break the Yuanyang body of your Longguan Lord." ”

Hou Liangzhu also quipped: "If the Lord of Longguan is well prepared, he is not afraid of any fairies, and he may be able to kill the fairies and eliminate the harm for the people, which can be regarded as accumulating merit." ”
