Guo Hua picked up the statue and flipped it over to look at it, "Master Cen, have you seen these words in Zitong?"

It turned out that a few small characters were engraved at the bottom of the statue, which were not affiliated with the seal, and Guo Yu did not know them.

"Yikes. It's really this thing, it's this thing, I can't imagine that I can come across this in such a place. This is the deity worshiped by the sorcerers and priests in the indigenous tribes of Zitong, and it is a combination of the god of thunder and the god of snakes. I really can't imagine that this Taoist priest would secretly worship the gods of the barbarians here. ”

Lao Qian didn't know what to do on the side, but when they found some important clues, he hurriedly took them to Wang Daoshi's bedroom.

"The room on the right is full of clutter, and here is his bedroom. ”

"You mean Daoist Wang lives in this room?" Li Changsheng looked around and asked.

It turns out that this room can really be described as a house with four walls, a window, blue brick paving, and a few landscape calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Not to mention the bedding and bedding, there is not even a table, chair and bench.

"Hey, hey. Look over there. Old Qian said a little pretentiously.

The crowd followed the direction he had indicated, and there was a slender bamboo pole hanging horizontally from two ropes.

Guo Hua flicked his fingers on the bamboo pole a few times, knowing that this was the method of some Taoist monks to practice qigong, "I can sleep on this bamboo pole, it seems that our Wang Taoist priest does have two strokes." ”

"Yes, yes, in addition to the art in the room, this Wang Taoist priest also knows some methods of catching ghosts and demons, and also knows some fist and foot kung fu. Lao Qian seems to have forgotten that the person they are looking for is the person who is suspected of adultery with his concubine, and it is not without praise when it comes to Wang Daoshi.

"Nobody. Are you sure he lives here?" Xian Yuyan patted Old Qian on the shoulder.

"yes. I have been with him a few times, this Wang Taoist has a strange temper, I said I want to give him a house, he doesn't want it, but he likes to live in this broken Taoist temple, deserted. ”

"Well, do you know where he usually goes?"

"If he wasn't at home, then he might go to someone's house to do some Dharma or something, and he still had some reputation in this Xianyang realm. It's hard to say where it went. ”

"If that's the case, then I'll come back another day. I also bother to ask Boss Qian to send me another ride, we still need to go to Weicheng Station, there are some things to do. Guo Yu stepped forward and beckoned everyone to leave.

"This, how good is this, seeing that noon has come, you are all the heroes in Chang'an City, it is better for me to be the east, I am the east, please drink in the best restaurant in the city, so that I can show a little affection. ”

Zhao Dalu seems to have frequent dealings with Lao Qian, and he also helped to ask Lao Qian for a treat, but he was still stopped by Guo Yu. In the end, under Guo Hua's repeated requests, Lao Qian sent everyone to the Weicheng Guanyi and checked in. Lao Qian and Zhao Dalu went back separately.

"Hey. Guo Xuan, why do you kid have to go back to Weicheng Station, will Daoist Wang be here?" Xian Yuyan was also puzzled.

"No way, this is the most appropriate reason to branch Zhao Dalu and Lao Qian, and the next thing, the two of them, especially the boss Qian, are inconvenient to participate. ”

"Oh?"

"We've had lunch here first, and you'll find out in a moment. Guo said mysteriously.

As soon as he was done, he had to follow Guo Hua's meaning, and honestly settled down to use the wine and rice first. In the meantime, Cen Shen and Du Huan told everyone what they knew, hoping to help, so they said goodbye.

"That's probably all we know, if a few of them are used in Lao Yu and Du Gongzi, but by words. It's just that in a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Du Gongzi and I plan to go to the tomb of General Gao before the festival to pay our respects, and the original plan was to go tomorrow, so I want to say goodbye for the time being, and we will go back to Chang'an to prepare. ”

Cen Shen talked about Gao Xianzhi's matter, and his eyes couldn't help but show sadness and nostalgia.

"Oh, it's okay, the master and Du Gongzi are going back together. I only hate that I was born too late, and I never saw General Gao's demeanor, and I regret it. If I have the opportunity, I would like to go with the two of you and think about it. ”

Guo Hua's words are not polite, because he has always admired strange people, Gao Xianzhi's strategy and style, he has already heard his father talk about it many times, and he has been fascinated for a long time.

"Hahahaha, since this is the case, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely invite his son to go with him. ”

Cen Shen saw that Guo Hua was sincere, and he was also very pleased with Gao Xianzhi at the moment. When he was born, he was a handsome man, and after he died, he had a bosom friend, life is like this, but he can do it!

Satiated. Everyone said goodbye to Cen Shen and Du Huan, and Guo Wu turned around and walked to the post station again.

"Hey. Ay. Guo Xuan, why did you go back again? Didn't you say that after eating, you would be able to find Daoist Wang?" Xian Yuyan looked at it and asked.

"Did I mean that you can find the Taoist after eating? I'm just saying that you'll understand after a while. ”

"Ahh ”

"It's still early, keep drinking, keep drinking. Guo Yu didn't look back, and pointed to the sky sun.

"Hmph, Dead Skin, in fact, you don't know anything, pretending to be a ghost. Li Changsheng caught a glimpse of a small pebble on the ground, kicked it up, and hit Guo Hua's ass.

"Oops, oops, you're going to kick me to death, and you really won't know anything, oops, oops. Guo Hua exclaimed exaggeratedly, and looked back at Li Changsheng aggrievedly.

Li Changsheng giggled, stepped forward and kicked Guo Yu again, and went back to drink with his face raised.

A few people were already full of wine and food, so they asked for two pots of good Gaochang wine, sipped slowly, and passed the time.

"Gaochang wine is here, and the old country is hard to find. Li Changsheng held the small crystal cup, took two sips in a row, and suddenly sighed.

At this time, nearly a hundred years have passed since Tang destroyed Gaochang. According to a messenger from the Western Regions, after the An Lushan rebellion, the Uighurs sent 50,000 horses to invade the old land of Gaochang.

"Oh, I can't see that you still have a lot of feelings for this Gaochang wine. Guo said solemnly.

"yes. My mother is a remnant of Gaochang, although she has never lived there, but there are still many stories about Gaochang among the people, and Gaochang must be a very beautiful place. ”

"Hey, the dead Guo Yu diverted the topic again. ”

"I'm just following your words. ”

"Hmph, Dead Skin. What are your schemes, but let's talk about it, why are you so mysterious? ”

"It doesn't work to say it now. Come, the wine and the sun can't be disappointed. Guo Yu drank a small glass of wine, and outside the window, the afternoon sun fell on the remaining plantains, mottled and scattered.

"Hmph. The autumn colors outside the window are much more beautiful than your big waves. Li Changsheng didn't ask any more questions, and drank to himself.

A few people took advantage of the grape wine, talking and laughing, until the sun hung in the west mountain. Only then did Guo Hua gather everyone, take the carriage of the post house, and come to the small broken Taoist temple again.

The sky has darkened, and the houses on the street have been lit up with sparse candles.

Everyone slowly paced and came to the small courtyard of the Wang Daoist. I saw that where the bedroom of Daoist Wang was located, a bean light lit up.

Li Changsheng and Xian Yuyan looked at Guo Yu with a smile and nodded approvingly. He slowed down his pace even more and walked straight into the house.

The candles on the offering table in the hall were also lit, the light was not very bright, and there was a high statue of the Taoist god pressed there, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

The four of them tiptoed into the bedroom of the Taoist priest in turn.

On the hanging bamboo pole, a small oil lamp was hung, and the flame the size of a bean shook gently.

"No one?" Li Changsheng patted Guo Yu and lowered his voice to ask.

"Don't worry, listen carefully. Guo Yu motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"There is the sound of a stream flowing, and the sound of a waterfall falling," Xian Yuyan's ear strength was better than others, and he first heard the clue, "There is no river around this courtyard for more than ten miles, how can there be the sound of a stream?"

"And the sound of birds, the cries of wild boars and pheasants. Yakshamaru, who had not spoken, said happily. When he was in Fusang, he was a hunter in the mountain tribe, and when he heard these voices, he was naturally very kind.

"I heard it, too, that it was like we were in a valley. Li Changsheng said in surprise.

"Don't you think there's another person in this room?"

As soon as Guo Hua's words came out, everyone's eyes immediately widened, and their hearts jumped wildly.

"Dead Guo Xuan, don't be scary. Li Changsheng covered his chest, said angrily, and almost waved his hand to hit Guo Hua a few times, she also knew in her heart that it was impossible for Guo Hua to joke at this time.

Xian Yuyan took a step forward, looked at Guo Xuan, and said in a low voice: "What's the situation? Is it a person or a ghost? I can also feel the sound of a person's heartbeat." ”

Guo Yu has tantric cultivation, and Xian Yuyan has the talent of the Beast King Gu bloodline, and the perception ability of both of them is beyond ordinary people.

"Actually, when I first came here, I thought there was something strange in this house. It's just that during the day, the sound is noisy and you can't really hear it. Lao Qian and Zhao Dalu are here, and it's not very convenient, so they have to wait until now. ”

"Hmph, I didn't think you were a swinger and quite careful, so you have already found Wang Daoshi?"

"Not yet. ”

"Not yet. What does it mean yet. ”

"Aren't we looking for—the third prince—"

"Shh

"Guo Yu, what do you think is going on?" Xian Yuyan said in a low voice.

"There are two possibilities that I can think of, one is that this room has a very clever secret passage, connecting a valley, because of its superb skills, it can transmit the sounds in the valley here, and it is even possible that the royal Taoist priest has also used this special space to carry out some kind of deception. ”

"What about the second one?" Li Changsheng didn't seem to be very interested in Guo Yu's first thought, and asked eagerly.

"The second one, I also think is the most likely one, the situation here is similar to what Lao Qian said. ”

Li Changsheng didn't know about the old Qian's concubine Hongxing coming out of the wall, Xian Yuyan suddenly woke up when she heard it, and echoed it.

"Yes, yes, you can hear the sound but you don't see the human figure, here you can hear the sound of the water and the birds, but you can't see the birds of the stream. ”

"Didn't Lao Qian also say, in addition to the room technique, this Wang Daoist does have some Taoism, maybe he is really a master of the hidden red dust, and he has laid something similar to an enchantment here. ”

"Enchantment?" Li Changsheng asked with a sigh.

"Yes, it can also be said to be a kind of space, which overlaps and hides from the space we are in, and he stands with me, but we can't see him. ”

"But what about those flowing water and birdsong?" asked Li Changsheng relentlessly.

"If he really mastered this kind of Dao technique, if the Dao level is high enough, it is also possible to open a space to connect a valley, but this connection is not an ordinary secret passage building, but an enchantment constructed by a technique. ”

"Hmph. What you're saying is too complicated, anyway, you can find out that Wang Daoist. ”

As soon as Li Changsheng finished speaking, Yasha Pill suddenly whispered urgently, his Tang language was not fluent.

"Yes, someone is watching us. You see, somebody is watching us. ”

Everyone looked at Yakshamaru and saw him stretch out his hand and point to a place, his eyes showing indescribable fear.

There is a picture of the landscape hanging there, in the daytime, Guo Hua looked at it carefully, the painting is - a flowing spring and a stream, a clear water, on a side of the green rock, a hermit lying high, a boy is cooking tea. Very at ease.

Guo Hua took off the oil lamp on the bamboo pole and slowly approached.

"Ahh

"What?" Xian Yuyan and Li Changsheng asked almost at the same time.

"In the daytime, this hermit is clearly lying high on the bluestone, how can he stand here at this moment. Guo Yu couldn't help but be on guard, held up the oil lamp, and invited Li Changsheng and Xian Yuyan to come closer.

When they came earlier, they had not looked closely at him, and did not know whether he was standing or lying down, but at this moment, the secluded Coats, standing with his hands down in the painting, staring straight ahead with his eyes straight ahead. It's creepy to look at.

As if sensing the threat, everyone couldn't help but get closer. Yasha Pill was even more like a monkey, tightening his body and snuggling up behind Xian Yuyan.

"The problem lies in this painting, right?" Xian Yuyan whispered in a low voice.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, but be careful, this barrier may be dangerous. Guo Yu said

"But there's no way to go on like this, you haven't thought of a solution yet? Don't you also know some Taoist witchcraft and the like?"

"I've never really practiced it, and there really isn't such a technique in Tantra. ”

"Then you just can't help it?" Li Changsheng glanced at Guo Hua, and reached out to take the oil lamp from Guo Hua's hand.

"Hey, what are you going to do? Don't mess around. ”

Guo Hua couldn't stop shouting anymore, only to see Li Changsheng slowly approaching the lower end of the painting, and the fluttering flames continued to roast, and a small piece of the painting was quickly blackened, and a blue spark was slightly ignited.

Just as the fire was about to start, the stream in the painting suddenly changed the direction of its flow, splashed out, and extinguished the light.

The room was dark.

Poof, something fell.

Immediately afterwards, Xian Yuyan shouted: "Caught, caught, tell you kid to pretend to be a ghost." ”

Guo Hua had already opened his eyes, and even though it was night, he really saw a big living person, falling out of the painting that was only more than three feet long.

Sure enough, he was hiding in this painting.

Guo Hua shook the fire and lit the oil lamp from the beginning. Only then did Li Changsheng see clearly that Xian Yuyan had already pressed a blue-robed Taoist priest to the ground.
