Chu Huan's heart was excited, and he said, "Old man, could it be that what I said is the language of your ghost side?" ”

He Xigu frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It seems to be, and it seems to be...... Again, it doesn't seem to be. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Huan was stunned.

He Xigu said: "I understand a small half of what Dake said just now, it is indeed the language of our ghost side, but there are some I don't understand, but it may not be the language of our ghost side." ”

Chu Huan frowned, and He Xigu said: "Dake's words mention the soul and change, but the whole sentence is a little incomprehensible. ”

Chu Huan's originally excited mood was suddenly a little disappointed, but He Xigu had already said: "But judging from the pronunciation, those are also the pronunciations of our ghost dialect, but we have lived in the original place for hundreds of years, and our ancestors have already switched to Chinese to communicate, so many ghost dialects don't even speak ghost dialect at all." Suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, there is an old man in our Daqimeng, he is nearly eighty years old, and his old eyes are dizzy, but he seems to know how to talk about ghosts. ”

"Do you mean to say that I just said this, and any of you in Daqimeng understand?" Chu Huan raised hope.

He Xigu nodded and said, "Although we have forgotten many things about the Ghost Fang, we have continued the Heavenly Sacrifice of the Ghost Fang. The ghost elder who presided over the heavenly sacrifice is the most learned person in the clan, and he is also one of the few people who is proficient in the ghost language, and the old man I am talking about is the ghost old man of our ghost side, I believe he must understand the meaning of what you just said. ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, frowned slightly, and said, "Since he is a ghost elder, he must be a person with a high status in your clan, and he is willing to help me explain this sentence?" ”

He Xigu said with a smile: "Don't worry, you are the Dake of our ghost people, as long as you can meet the ghost elder, with me coming forward, he will definitely help you." ”

When Chu Huan heard this, he suddenly realized something, and saw that the necklace around Hexigu's neck was full of wood carvings, and he was about to ask, but at this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps, and two black-clothed jailers had appeared in front of the prison door, both with sabers around their waists, and one of them was holding a short stick in his hand, and looked at the doorrail, "You, and you, come out!" ”

He first pointed at Chu Huan with a stick, and then pointed at Sun Zikong next to him, Chu Huan had already gotten up, but He Xigu also got up, and said solemnly: "They didn't violate the royal law, why did they also arrest them in prison?" ”

The jailer didn't pay attention to it at all, one of them opened the cell door, snorted his mouth, and motioned for Chu Huan and the two to come out, Chu Huan also seemed very cooperative, the two went out, Chu Huan turned around, saw He Xigu's face full of worry, smiled slightly, and signaled that He Xigu didn't have to worry, the two of them locked the cell door again, and pushed Chu Huan and the two in the back.

Chu Huan and Sun Zikong walked along the road of the cell, looking at both sides from time to time, this prison of the Criminal Department is really not small, there are many cells, but in the big prison, many cells are empty, and no one is inside.

After walking for a while, he saw a wooden door appear in front of him, and the two jailers pushed Chu Huan and the others into the wooden door, but they saw that it was a torture room.

Sun Tzu saw the torture instrument inside, and suddenly felt a little flustered, seeing Chu Huan calm and calm, he thought that Chu Huan was a messenger of the imperial court, as long as his identity was revealed, he was afraid that he would scare this jailer to death, so he calmed down.

Chu Huan entered the torture room, and at a glance saw a black-clothed jailer sitting behind a large table, behind the jailer, there were two stout saber jailers standing on the left and right, with hideous faces and round eyes.

"This official is the cell boss here." The cell boss sitting behind the desk had a gloomy face, but at this time he actually squeezed out a smile, "I heard that the two of you intend to rebel, but is there such a thing?" ”

Chu Huan's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "I don't know where this crime of rebellion comes from?" We are walking down the street, and you forcibly arrest us in broad daylight, and we really don't know where the sin is. ”

The cell boss smiled, "Don't worry, things can always be made clear." We have always been careful with the ghost people, and when you are with the ghost people, you will naturally suffer some grievances. After a pause, he looked at Chu Huan and his grandson for a while, and then said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a routine, go through the motions, and let you out." By the way, you don't seem to be from our Anyi, where did you come from? ”

Chu Huan was also happy: "Xishan Road." ”

"Oh?" The cell leader nodded slightly, "Xishan Road is adjacent to our Anyi Road, do you come to Anyi to do business or do something?" ”

Chu Huan saw this cell boss with a pleasant face, but felt that this person had other thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "It's not that I came to Anyi on purpose, I have a friend who has been away from home for many years and has not been heard from, so our brother came out to look for him everywhere." ”

"Can you find that?"

"Not yet." Chu Huan shook his head, "Great Qin is thousands of miles away, and we don't know where he is, so we can only look around." ”

The smile on the cell leader's face was even stronger, "So, your family doesn't know that you are in Taiyuan Mansion?" ”

Chu Huan shook his head.

Sun Zikong was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Chu Huan deceived these jailers.

The cell boss got up, walked to Chu Huan's side, turned around, and finally said, "Where is the specific location of your family?" Now that you are in prison, even if you are allowed to leave, it is not a matter of three or two days, and you have to send a message from above. Send someone to tell your family, lest they worry. ”

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessary. Don't hide it from adults, when we came out, we had already told our family that we were afraid that we would not be able to go back for a year and a half. Since the adults said that they would be able to go out in three or five days, there was no need to send someone to tell them, so that their families would not be worried. ”

The cell head nodded slightly and sighed: "He is a person who knows what is important." Then he sighed: "Yes, since you have come out to find the whereabouts of your friends, you should look for someone, why do you want to be entangled with the ghost people?" ”

"Back to adults, in fact, we are not familiar with the ghost people." Chu Huan shook his head and said: "We are just one side, seeing that they are dressed strangely, I am curious, and I also want to ask them for some news, maybe they have seen my friends." ”

The cell boss smiled and said, "Are you really not familiar with the ghost people? ”

"It's really unfamiliar."

The cell boss smiled and said, "Since you are not familiar with it, it doesn't matter even more." Just grieve you for a few days, stay in this prison for two days, you don't have to worry, in two days, you will leave here unharmed. He commanded his men, "Take them back first." ”

Only then did the two jailers step forward and leave with Chu Huan and the others.

When Chu Huan and the others left, a small door opened next to the interrogation room, and the white and chubby Yang Tou slowly came out of it, still holding the black cat in his arms.

"Chief, as you commanded, I have already interrogated." The cell boss leaned to Yang Tou's side, "Do you think these two people can make it?" ”

Yang Tou looked at the back of Chu Huan and the others leaving through the gap in the door that had not yet been closed, and then shook his body and sat down on the chair, and said softly: "Things have to be done properly, do you think there is any flaw in the words of these two people?" ”

"Boss, don't worry so much." The cell boss said in a low voice: "I don't think they can lie, and you listen to their voices, it is indeed not from our Taiyuan Mansion." ”

Yang Tou squinted his small eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally got up and said, "That is the case, I will go and talk to the adults, if the adults agree, they will just send it out together tonight." ”

……

Chu Huan returned to the prison, and Hexigu relieved himself and asked a few words, knowing that there was nothing to do, so he was relieved.

Being in the prison, I don't know the time, and I don't know how long it has been, the jailer lit a torch and came over, carrying a rice bucket to distribute food to the prisoners, the prison meal is naturally not delicious, half a steamed bun as hard as a stone, plus half a bowl of rice porridge with only clear water and no rice grains, Hexigu has something to do, he has no appetite, he can't eat, but Chu Huan doesn't seem to dislike it. After eating the steamed buns and rice porridge cleanly, seeing that Hexigu was silent, looking worried, he couldn't help asking, "Old man, what do you seem to be worried about?" ”

Hexigu smiled bitterly: "Dake, if the news of my detention in the prison spreads and my people know about it, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid something big is going to happen. ”

Chu Huanqi said: "Why did the old man say this? ”

Hexigu shook his head, and stopped talking.

Chu Huan saw that Hexigu didn't say anything, so he didn't ask, Hexigu was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Dake, you are kind to my ghost people, this time you were arrested and put in prison, and it was because of us, I ...... Hey, I'll tell you the truth......! He leaned close to Chu Huan's ear and said in a low voice: "The sixteen caves of Daqimeng Mountain have cave masters, in fact, the sixteen caves are the sixteen ghost people with the surname left, and the sixteen caves have a common leader, known as the ghost master!" ”

"Ghost Lord?" Chu Huan frowned, and suddenly understood something, "Could it be ......!" ”

"Not bad." He Xigu knew that Chu Huan had already understood, "I am the ghost master of the Sixteenth Cave of the Ghost Fang. ”

Chu Huan had vaguely guessed that Hexi Valley's status in the ghost people was not low, but he didn't expect that this old man would suddenly be the leader of the ghost people, and He Xigu said it himself, Chu Huan was really a little surprised.

"We sent people to negotiate several times, but to no avail." The ghost lord He Xigu said slowly: "At the beginning, I personally negotiated the transaction with Huang Zhigui, but now that Huang Zhigui has left, the household department will not give us food, so I can only come in person." ”

"What the ghost lord just said about the big thing is ......!"

"I'm worried that if the clansmen know that I am being arrested and put in prison by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, they will be taken advantage of." Hexigu's expression was solemn, "Dake, I won't tell you, before I came to Taiyuan Mansion City, someone transferred it to our Great Qimeng Mountain. ”

"People from the Huang family?" Chu Huan said immediately.

He Xigu was stunned, looked at Chu Huan with some surprise, and finally nodded: "Dake guessed well, in fact, Huang Zhigui personally went to Daqimeng Mountain not long ago to find me. ”

Chu Huan frowned, he seemed to understand something, "The ghost master means that Huang Zhigui went to Daqimeng to find the ghost people...... Ally? ”

He is already taking care of Hexi Valley's face, and he didn't say rebellion, only alliance.

He Xigu nodded, and said solemnly: "I have three thousand brave warriors on my ghost side, and the Huang family rebelled and wanted to turn these three thousand warriors into knives in their hands. ”
