Bidding farewell to Baolikun, the leopard turned his head and ran to the small courtyard that was watched by the nine monkeys.

The disciples in the main gate of the fire, if they can have a beast tooth charm on their necks as a token, they should be people with names and surnames in the main gate of the fire. But in the small courtyard without an owner, Xiang Youbao has never heard Na Jiu Ye mention it, and even when he inquired about the former characters of the Huo Zhengmen in Sijiu City, he didn't inquire about it?

This thing is really weird?!

I was puzzled, and the soles of my feet naturally tightened up a little. It was only two or three pots of smoke, and the leopard had already turned back to the front of the small courtyard.

As soon as I saw the leopard showing its face at the alley in front of the small courtyard, the nine monkeys sitting on the steps in front of the small courtyard immediately jumped up, and shouted at the leopard: "Senior brother, I have inquired and understood!" This small courtyard used to live a famous swordsman in the city of Sijiu, I heard that many years ago, the price of the scene that asked him to shoot had to be a hundred oceans, and he did some faceless black work in private, and the price was even higher! ”

Suspiciously, he glanced at the small courtyard of the independent sect a few times, and while walking towards the small courtyard, Xiang Youbao whispered to the nine monkeys who followed him: "How can the famous knife hand in the industry get white face?!" Didn't you hear that the famous swordsmen in the fighting industry are all three non-touches - white noodles, big smoke, and treasure bureaus, and they have always been not touched, for fear that they will damage their kung fu if they get stained with these things? ”

Towards a small grocery store next to the small courtyard, the nine monkeys whispered to Xiang Youbao and responded: "I heard the people in this grocery store say that this knife hand made people have a black hand behind his back a few years ago, and he was hit several times on his body, as if the injury had not healed, and he was rolling on the ground in pain when he saw Tian'er." That's what got a white face! It's strange to say, I only smoked three or five days of effort, and I said that if I take a knife and eat again, that is, the aisles are all trembling step by step, and the people on the top will be gone in seven days."

Sighing slightly, Xiang Youbao raised his finger and pointed to the courtyard door that had just been locked: "Open the door and take a look!" I just saw an object. It seems to be a little involved with the main gate of our fire, and I don't know if I saw it wrong? ”

A few steps ahead, the nine monkeys neatly opened the courtyard door, but they were not in a hurry to enter the courtyard, but stood at the gate of the courtyard and bowed with their palms together, and muttered to themselves: "The immortals who come and go, the souls who don't go to the stack, bother rashly, don't be blamed!" ”

It was a little funny to watch the nine monkeys muttering half-truths and prayers, and they didn't stop each other. It was only after the nine monkeys had finished chanting those prayers that they walked into the yard first, and walked straight to the debris piled up in the yard.

Perhaps because of the sun and rain, the debris piled up in the campus has taken on a somewhat decayed appearance. On several empty and broken drawers, the pull rings made of copper have grown a layer of patina. And several half-open wooden boxes also have a lot of signs of mold.

Stretched out his hand and picked up the broken beast tooth that was thrown on the pile of debris, and the leopard only looked at the word 'Huozheng' carved on the beast tooth, which was more confirmed by the origin of the beast tooth. It must be the object of some senior in the main gate of the fire.

Stuffing the beast tooth talisman that had been broken in two into his arms, Xiang Youbao turned his head to the nine monkeys who were following him and said, "Close the courtyard door." I spread out these belongings and touched them carefully to see if there were any eye-catching objects, and I went up to the house to take a look! ”

Simply agreed, the nine monkeys turned around and closed the courtyard door, rolled up their sleeves and spread out the miscellaneous items that were piled together, and carefully rummaged through the miscellaneous items.

I looked up at the only two rooms in the small courtyard. Xiang Youbao first glanced at the palm-sized stove room, and then walked towards the main house where the door frames were removed.

The main house is not large, and there are two rooms inside and outside that block the door with a cloth curtain. The tables, chairs, and benches in the outside room were all moved into the courtyard, and there was nothing left. On the wall facing the door, a New Year's painting of Yang Liuqing does not know how many years it has been hanging. The color of the golden carp in the painting was dull and gray, and it looked like a fat loach with a long and broken shape.

Stretching out his fingers, he opened the broken curtain, and the kang mat spread on the kang in the room inside had been removed, revealing the dusty surface of the kang surface. Seeing that the winter season is about to be over, many rats who are looking for a place to spend the winter obviously have taken a fancy to this undisturbed territory, and have made several mouse holes in the kang corner.

On the ground, where no one has settled for a long time, the green bricks that were originally paved have been covered with gray soil so that they can't be seen. Strings of rat paw prints, and some traces of unknown things crawling out are densely covered with the ground, no matter how you look at it, people feel that this is a dilapidated appearance.

was looking at the empty house, and the voice of the nine monkeys was already heard behind him: "Senior brother, all those objects in the yard have been spread out and touched, and there are no eye-catching things!" I guess this small courtyard has been cleaned more than once or twice, and all the things that can be used to come in handy have been called away."

Nodding slightly, Xiang Youbao was just about to turn around and leave the house, but his eyes inadvertently swept over a place in the corner of the inner room.

The whole house was already covered with traces of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling, but against a boxy boundary in the corner of the house, the dust falling was smooth and abnormal, as if those snakes, insects, rats and ants who were tossing around the house had deliberately avoided that territory?

Reaching out and pulling down the curtain full of holes, Xiang Youbao shook his right arm slightly, pinched the steel thorn that had not left him for a moment, and walked to the corner of the room that was a little strange.

Squatting down and sweeping the dust accumulated on the ground with the broken door curtain, Xiang Youbao used the steel thorn in his hand to pull a few times along the gap in the green bricks on the ground, and gently picked up a few green bricks.

Leaning next to Xiang Youbao's shoulder, the nine monkeys only looked at the lime foam exposed under the green bricks, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Hey, I heard that the knife fighters in Sijiu City have a doorway to hide the secret cellar in their own houses, and I really saw it today?!" Senior brother, what weird stuff is hidden down here! ”

Ignoring the words of the nine monkeys, Xiang Youbao pried up all the green bricks in the corner, and then swept away the lime under the green bricks with the broken door curtain, and then gently sniffed and muttered to himself: "No wonder those snakes, insects, rats and ants have avoided this boundary - there is actually a layer of sulfur under this?!" Master Nine Monkeys, go get some water and pour it over! This knife fighter is really a master who has been guarded against people to the bones - the sulfur powder is also mixed with boiled nitrate! If you are reckless, these things will be in the wind! ”

Turning his head and running out of the door, the nine monkeys grabbed a broken drawer, scooped up some dirty water that already smelled strange from a broken tank with some rainwater in the small yard, and trotted back to Xiang Youbao's side, carefully pouring the water on the sulfur powder mixed with nitrate.

Seeing the water-soaked sulfur powder quickly change color, Xiang Youbao gently wiped off the muddy sulfur powder with the broken door curtain, and slowly took out a small wooden box the size of a dressing box.

There was only one brass buckle on the wooden box, but it was not locked at all. Perhaps to prevent moisture, a layer of boiled yellow wax was carefully smeared along the cracks in the wooden boxes.

Gently peeling off the layer of yellow wax with the spikes in his hand, Xiang Youbao first opened a very small gap in the small wooden box, and then carefully looked at the information that there were no other mechanisms in the box from the gap, and then carefully opened the wooden box.

The wooden box is not large, and there are naturally not many things stored inside. On the top are two short knives with red and green steel, just look at the dark brown oil on the antler handle, and then look at the faint dark red cloud pattern on the blade, you can immediately understand that these two life-threatening things are designated as things that have been around for years, and they are also murder weapons that have really seen blood and taken lives!

The two bull ear short knives with red and blue steel were removed, and below them were a pair of bracers with cooked cowhide and bubble nails. Stretched out his hand to weigh the weight of the bracer, and then pinched the dozen or so thin steel pieces that were hard poked in the cooked cowhide, which made it clear that this bracer was also the guy who used the knife to eat back then!

Opening a small oilcloth bag resting at the bottom, the leopard only looked at the thing wrapped in the oilcloth bag, and immediately jumped up in shock - what was wrapped in the oilcloth bag was a fragment of a strange beast picture!

didn't have time to think about anything, Xiang Youbao re-wrapped the fragment of the alien beast picture into the oilcloth bag, and then stuffed the oilcloth bag back into the wooden box with the two ox ear sharp knives and bracers with red and green steel, and then turned his head and whispered to the nine monkeys: "When you inquired about the situation of the house in this small courtyard, did you reveal your identity?" ”

Shaking his head subconsciously, the nine monkeys looked at the leopard who suddenly straightened his face, and responded in a solemn voice with some discomfort: "No! I asked several households, and I said that I was a crushed person who was doing business in the pile market under Kun Ye, and I didn't show the details of the main gate at all! ”

Huo Ran stood up, and Xiang Youbao held the wooden box in his hand, and shouted to the nine monkeys: "Be sharp under your feet, hurry up and report to the head in the main gate, just say that I have found something important, please close the door and a few uncles to thank you!" Keep the back corner door for me, and I'll go back through the back corner door in a moment! ”

Nodding his head in understanding, the nine monkeys took out the lock key on the door of the small courtyard from his arms: "Then senior brother, you lock the courtyard door yourself!" If you can find this thing in this room, you might even be able to find some useful objects next to it! ”

Rolling his eyes, Xiang Youbao stretched out his hand and grabbed the nine monkeys who were about to run out of the house: "When you go out, ask again with your hand to see who the deed of this small courtyard is in your hands?" Don't show the details as usual! ”

"Senior brother, don't worry! Can't be wrong! (To be continued.) )
