Li Yuanyin heard the exclamation of the two of them, hurriedly stepped forward to watch, and also exclaimed: "It's really Wei Zhongxian!" How can there be a statue of Wei Zhongxian here? ”

The old eunuch outside the house, who was frightened by the embroidered spring knife in Li Yuanyin's hand, was finally awakened by the sound of shouting in the room, got up and entered the house in a daze, and raised his eyes to see the whole nine statues of Wei Zhongxian standing in front of him, so frightened that he stumbled under his feet, fell to the ground and fainted.

Ji Qingwen didn't have the leisure to take care of this old eunuch who had passed out, and walked around the statue of Wei Zhongxian several times restlessly, muttering in his mouth: "There must be weirdness, there must be weirdness!" Then Xu Chunchao asked me to come to Baiyun Temple, but don't you just look for these things, right? ”

When Li Yuanyin heard Xu Chunchao's name, he immediately became alert, and asked tentatively, "Master Ji, did Xu Chunchao say anything to you?" ”

Ji Qingwen glanced at Li Yuanyin and replied: "What did he say to me, I don't dare to tell you, I can't tell you that I haven't even left the door of this Baiyun Temple, and it has reached Luo Yangxing's ears." ”

Li Yuanyin was embarrassed by what he said, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Seeing this, Ji Qingwen said again: "It's not that I can't trust you, you are talking to that Luo all day long, I have no ideas and is not realistic, right?" As I said earlier, if I can live a good life, everyone will have a good life; I can't live a good life, then you can't even live an awkward life! As long as you listen to me, expose my shortcomings less, and pass on my words less, everything will be easy for us to say. You Commander Li is a smart person, and if you take a few thousand taels of silver a year from me, it is better than taking a few dozen taels a year from the imperial court, isn't it? ”

Li Yuanyin is a shrewd person, so he naturally knows the pros and cons, but he is a spy, and he has long been trained to be moody, although he is convinced, but he only lightly answered the word "yes".

Ji Qingwen shook his head and said, "It's all in the past, and it's not a big deal to tell you, that is, after you followed Luo Yangxing to escort Wei Zhongxian's body out of Fucheng Post Station and rushed to Jingshi that day, Xu Chunchao told me and Li Yan that there were treasures hidden under the backyard of Baiyunguan......"

"That's why Master Ji came to Baiyun Temple to find treasures in a targeted manner?" Li Yuanyin asked.

"Yes, that's it, I took the treasure to hand it over to the emperor to reward the three armies. How? Did you break the "Da Ming Law"? You go and report to Luo Yangxing! Ji Qingwen still wore a somewhat angry tone in his words.

Li Yuanyin heard this and hurriedly said, "Don't dare...... Don't dare ......"

At this time, Li Yan had already taken a lit candle, circled around Wei Zhongxian's statue several times, and took a stick and struck it on the statue.

I only heard him say: "Brother Ji, I thought that this statue was so heavy, it must be made of silver, but I looked at it, this statue is made of wood, and it seems that it is still empty, it shouldn't be so heavy......"

"Empty? No way! Ji Qingwen said as he picked up a wooden stick from the ground and held it in his hand, and beat it on the chest of the statue, and sure enough, he heard a "dong dong" sound similar to that of a ripe watermelon.

He continued to knock down, but the sound was much lower, and it didn't seem to be empty again.

So Ji Qingwen said: "If my guess is right, this statue is actually a human-shaped box, and if you open the box, you must have hidden gold and silver." ”

After that, he beckoned Huang Degong and said, "Huang Degong, smash this statue for me!" ”

Although Huang Degong is strong and ugly, his courage is smaller than that of ordinary people, and when he heard such an order, he immediately made a mistake and said: "The owner, it is unlucky to smash the god statue, and you will be ......punished by heaven."

"Nonsense! I didn't let you smash the Buddha, the Taishang Laojun, and Jesus Christ, but it was Wei Zhongxian who made you smash. Lao Tzu is really Wei Zhongxian is not afraid, let alone this fake! ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen suddenly stepped forward, took out the embroidered spring knife worn by Li Yuanyin's waist, and slashed at the neck of Wei Zhongxian's statue with his backhand.

Li Yuanyin's embroidered spring knife is also very sharp, although it is not like cutting iron like clay, but there is no pressure to cut wood - the neck of Wei Zhongxian's statue was immediately cut off by the blade, and the head of the statue suddenly rolled down.

I don't know if Wei Zhongxian's ghost is still lingering, his fake head is so immortal, but he rolled under the feet of Ji Qingwen and his party.

The ancients always believed in gods and ghosts, and when they saw this scene, everyone was so frightened that they pushed away from the left and right, and even Ji Qingwen subconsciously moved two steps to the side.

After rolling a few times, Wei Zhongxian's ghost finally dissipated, and the fake head finally stopped on the floor of the warehouse, but its face was facing up, and its two eyes were staring at the ceiling.

Among this group of people, only Xiao Duozi has seen the least of the world, and he trembled with fright, and the oil lamp in his hand couldn't help shaking, and the light emitted was also flickering and dim, in a trance.

Ji Qingwen was dizzy and reprimanded: "Xiao Duozi, you hold the lamp steady, what are you hanging around here?" ”

Xiao Duozi quickly settled down, but suddenly exclaimed: "Ghost! Ghost! There are ghosts! ”

His scream was so terrifying that even Ji Qingwen was frightened, and scolded: "Where is the ghost in this world? Even if there are ghosts, you coward! ”

Xiao Duozi hurriedly explained: "Young master, it's not that I'm cowardly, you go and look at the eyes of the idol, it seems to be glowing!" ”

Ji Qingwen listened, and hurriedly looked at the head of Wei Zhongxian's statue, and sure enough, he saw that the eyes were shining brightly, but this light was not emitted by the eyes themselves, but by reflecting the swaying light of the oil lamp.

Ji Qingwen figured out the principle, so he was naturally no longer afraid, and simply took the oil lamp in Xiao Duozi's hand, leaned down and observed carefully. After looking at it for a while, Ji Qingwen suddenly raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand and fiddled with the head of the statue for a while.

Li Yuanyin saw Ji Qingwen abuse his beloved sword like this, and felt a pang of regret in his heart, and hurriedly said, "My lord, what are you doing?" Be careful that my sword is broken......"

Ji Qingwen didn't seem to hear his voice, and fiddled with it for a while, Fang returned the knife to Li Yuanyin, but there were two more objects the size of green dates, black and shiny, in his hand.

Ji Qingwen held these two things in his hands, walked out of the house, and looked at them carefully in the sunlight.

The rest of the people saw Ji Qingwen walking out, and they also hurriedly exited the warehouse.

So Ji Qingwen stretched out his hand, divided the two things in his hand to Li Yan and Li Yuanyin, and said, "Look at the two of you, what are these two things?" ”

Li Yuanyin took a closer look, then suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Lord Ji, did you get this thing from the head of Wei Zhongxian's statue?" ”

Ji Qingwen nodded: "It's the eyes on the head." Commander Li is well-informed, so he must know what this thing is, right? ”

Li Yuanyin replied truthfully: "If Lord Ji asks others, others may not know, and asking me can be regarded as the right person." This thing has no name, only called 'black gem' in color, and is mostly used to carve Buddha statues, and is most popular with the women who believe in Buddhism in the palace. A few years ago, a concubine in the palace lost a black gem Buddha pendant that was slightly larger than this one, causing a storm in the city, and finally it was the brocade guard who went out and beat all the eunuchs who served the mother, and then found out the whereabouts of the things......"

Ji Qingwen nodded while listening, and interjected: "Is this thing so valuable?" There is everything in the palace, and if you lose it, you will lose it, as for such a stirring up of the people? ”

Li Yuanyin frowned and said: "This thing is a treasure from Siam, even if it is placed in Siam, it is also a national treasure, and it can't be bought with silver!" ”

Ji Qingwen said while rubbing the gem in his hand, and said to himself: "I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable, I can't help it be worthy of a good Western table clock!" ”

Over there, Li Yan said: "Brother Ji, there are a total of nine statues of Wei Zhongxian, so their eyes must be made of such gems, then there are a total of eighteen!" ”

"Yes!" Ji Qingwen agreed, and hurriedly instructed Huang Degong and Xiao Duozi to look for tools in the warehouse to pry off the eyes of the other eight statues.
