When everyone heard this, they were immediately happy.

"It's a place name," Cen Shen said slowly, "there is nothing special there, there is no special scenery there, the only characteristic is that it is ancient, so old that it is beyond the scope of historical memory." At that time, when I was in the year of my weak crown, when I traveled to Bashu, I came to that place by chance. It is said that it was the tribe of Cuba long before the Xia Dynasty, but to this day, it also retains the customs and way of life of a long time ago, in the mountains and mountains, slash-and-burn farming, and drinking blood. They are rejected by the outside world, and they do not want to associate with the outside world. Therefore, very few people in the world know about that place. The people there believe in the snake god and the god of thunder, and there is also a stone gate that is the same as in this painting, and the three words Zitong Gate are also written on it, but those three words are written in older characters, and the stone gate pillars and beams are also reliefs of snakes and thunder gods, which are the same as in this painting, simple and weird. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces and asked one after another.

"Oh, where is this place in Bashu?"

"Could it be that the general also went to Bashu back then? I followed the general for more than ten years, until the battle of Talas, if the general really went there, I would not have known. ”

"Mr. Cen, do you think the general will put the treasure in this place called Zitong?"

Everyone asked nonsense, and Cen Shen had to stop and shake his head while listening.

"Everyone, everyone, please listen to the old man again, in fact, the old man has never heard that General Gao has the experience of traveling to Bashu. As for the place of Zitong, the mountains and rivers are steep and difficult for horses to walk, and they have to survive a lot of natural dangers, and even if they enter, they must have local people as guides. First, there is a thick poisonous miasma perennial there, and it is difficult to distinguish the road; second, the mountains and forests are full of vicious insects and poisonous snakes, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to enter an inch; third, in order to make a living, the local people have planted traps all over the forests and mountains, and if they step on them, they will be disabled or fatal. It is an excellent place to bury treasures there, but if you want future generations to take them out, I am afraid that those who go will die. I don't think General Gao would have left things there, and if he didn't, he would have killed a lot of his own people. ”

When everyone heard this, half of the hope that had been ignited was suddenly annihilated.

"Actually, it's still possible, right? Xian Yuyan asked unwillingly.

"It's possible, but I don't think General Gao would do that, the general is sympathetic to his subordinates, and even if he marches and arranges the army, he will never do things that are put at the risk of others. This treasure is reserved for people to trust, and according to the general's character, he will definitely not make such a dangerous move. I speculate that the painting must have something to do with some particular kind of witchcraft or Taoism. ”

When Guo Hua and Li Changsheng heard this, they immediately came to their senses, and this idea had actually been thinking about it for a long time in their hearts. Cheer up at the moment and listen to Cen Shen continue.

"As I said earlier, the people of that place in Zitong have lived there since ancient times, and there are many ancient witchcrafts. For example, the snake god they believe in is actually very good at collecting. The local people are indeed very good at hiding things, sometimes some food reserves, sometimes some treasures that they cherish. Moreover, according to the guide at that time, the wizards of those tribes could place the most precious treasures of the tribe in a kind of dream-like space through some special methods, so that no one could find them. ”

"Hey, that's not right, if no one finds it, what does General Gao do with this picture?" Zhao Dalu was also listening on the side, and couldn't help but ask.

"I think that if you are a person who knows that sorcery, you can take it out according to a certain method. Perhaps this painting is the key to the witchcraft. ”

Everyone heard it, and the following words were basically some speculations of Master Cen. However, what he said is very likely to be the secret to solving this diagram.

"Master Cen, have you ever seen a person in that tribe perform such a spell?" Li Changsheng asked with some unease.

"No, no, I stayed there for more than three months, that is, because I was infected with viciousness, and I had to be treated by the great wizard of the tribe, so I was able to meet the wizard. Outsiders generally don't have the opportunity to meet the sorcerers of the tribe. ”

Cen Shen shook his head a little embarrassed and replied.

"Well, although Master Cen has never seen those wizards perform this kind of magic, it seems that this is indeed the most likely way to do it, and we don't have to stick to the witchcraft in Zitong, maybe there may be similar spells in the Buddhist sect. ”

Guo Yu saw that Cen Shen was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly played a round.

"Yes, yes, maybe that's a hint that we can solve the mystery of the painting with some side techniques. Cen Shen echoed, "Looking at this painting, it doesn't look like an ordinary map." ”

"Well, in that case, there are some ways to find it. It's late at night, so it's better for everyone to rest for the time being, and it's not too late to make plans tomorrow. ”

Li Changsheng obviously didn't want to stay too late with these shapely* men, so after a few words of greeting, he went down with Yasha Maru. Zhao Dalu had already arranged a good suite for the two of them to rest.

Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan live in the same room. After a day of running, the two of them fell asleep soon after washing.

In the haze of pajamas, Guo Yu suddenly realized that something was squirming on the beams, and a cold breath kept swallowing.

Guo Hua slowly opened his eyes, and a pink tongue was hanging above his head, a tongue that was a foot long and forked in the middle.

A big snake. Guo Hua was shocked in his heart, stabilized his emotional fluctuations, slowly opened his eyes, and tried his best to stay still, so as not to cause the snake's attack.

Looking along the long snake letter, he gradually saw a strange snake's face, Guo Yu was not afraid of snakes, but he didn't think the snake's face was cute.

And the snake in front of him has a very cute face, and there is a seven-point smile in its eyes.

A snake that laughs, a snake that is smiling at itself. Guo Yu sneered in embarrassment in his heart. It was a snake he had never seen before. Could it be that at night, the owner of the snake he scared away came to play tricks on himself again?

"Guo Xuan—" A sweet voice came.

Guo Hua's heart is sober, but the scene in front of him makes the world seem a little psychedelic.

This big snake not only has a cute face, but also a cute body, which doesn't seem to be the body of a snake, but more like a young girl's snow-white thighs, round and full. Exudes youthful longing.

Guo Hua's heart thumped, and in a trance, the snake's face also transformed into a woman's face, the face of a woman who is a woman at the age of twenty-eight, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, youthful and faint style. The small lips open slightly, revealing the white teeth and the tip of the pink tongue, swallowing slightly, and smiling smartly.

"Guo Xuan—"

It was clearly a woman lying on the beams of the room, wearing only a pink nightgown, vaguely revealing slender fingers holding the beams, a fair-skinned and slender leg slightly bent, hanging there, white and slender little feet swinging around very provocatively.

"Guo Xuan—"

Guo Yao's heart was almost suffocating, a sharp pain came, and his body seemed to be burning, no, no, there was something in his body that seemed to be burning with a flame, as if he could see it, it was a black flame.

The graceful woman slowly withdrew her hanging legs, skillfully coiled on the beams, and her body slid down flutteringly, like a bewitching boneless fairy, with a pointed chin, delicate collarbones, and a pair of proud breasts faintly undulating in the half-open neckline.

"Guo Xuan—"

That sweet voice called softly, mixed with a slight gasp!

Guo Hua's heart swayed, and the black fire in his heart was about to explode.

"Guo Xuan. Guo Xuan. Guo Xuan. Wake up. Wake up. There was a rough and eager shout, followed by a few slaps.

Guo Yu felt a hot pain on his face, and when he opened his eyes, Xian Yuyan was standing by the bed with a shy stomach, looking at himself in surprise.

"Stinky salted fish, are you beating me?" Guo Yu sat up with a grunt, rubbed his face and asked, "Hey, why do you look at me like this?"

"If I don't beat you, can you wake up?" Xian Yuyan became innocent instead.

"What happened to me just now?" Guo Yu was secretly shocked in his heart, knowing that the beautiful snake was just a dream, but he didn't know if it was a dream of his own, or if someone had cast an illusion on him.

"Just now I came to call you to get up, and I saw that you had a * complexion, no matter how you screamed, I couldn't wake up, and then I saw that you were getting more and more improper, and I thought you were evil, hey, hey, hey, what are you dreaming of? Xian Yuyan said with a disdainful face.

A spring dream, will it be a spring dream? Guo Yu thought in his heart, didn't answer Xian Yuyan again, got out of bed by himself, and went to wash.

"Hey, hey. I'm looking for something for you. Xian Yuyan didn't give up, chased after him to talk.

"Hmm, what's the matter?

"No, it's the road that has some trouble, and you want me to help, and you can come too. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"A peach blossom case. ”

The so-called peach blossom case is a case related to the affairs of men and women.

There is a very large money bank in the city, and the owner is also surnamed Qian. This Qian boss and Zhao Dalu have always had some friendship with wine and meat.

On the evening of that day, Boss Qian specially invited Zhao Dalu to have a drink, two people, between the glasses of wine, the boss Qian said his heart in a hesitant way, he suspected that one of his concubines was adulterous, and he was annoyed, but because of his face, he refused to report to the official, so he wanted to ask Zhao Dalu to investigate in private.

"Oh, he knows that his concubine is committing adultery, so what's the trouble?" asked Guo Wei curiously.

Normally, most of this kind of cases are caught in bed, or the token of the relationship between the two parties is obtained, which can be regarded as eyebrow-raising, and it is not a difficult case to handle.

"It's not an ordinary peach blossom case, although Boss Qian tried his best to cover it up, there were still rumors in the market, saying that the concubine was seduced by a fox fairy and that it was a human fox adultery. ”

"Oh, that's bizarre. Guo Yu finally wiped his face and waited with interest for Xian Yuyan to continue.

Here's the thing, this money boss is also very busy, and he mostly drinks and socializes outside all day long. One afternoon, a letter was left at home and needed to be picked up.

When he returned home, he saw that there was still some time, so he wanted to make love to the concubine. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the living room where the concubine lived, he heard the sound of love between men and women coming from the bedroom.

Boss Qian naturally understood what was going on, and immediately became angry, took three steps and two steps, and rushed straight into the concubine's bedroom.

Who knew that as soon as he rushed into the room, he suddenly froze. He thought he would see a very embarrassing picture for himself, but who knew that the room was empty, not only the pillows and futons on the bed were neatly stacked, but there was no half of the figure in the large cabinets when he opened several large cabinets.

But the woman's screams were still coming from wave to wave, and he could hear that this voice was the voice of his beloved concubine Liu Mei. It was accompanied by the man's heavy gasps.

He felt so humiliated that his face turned red, and his whole body was about to explode. But there is nowhere to vent, helpless.

He remained in the room until the voices of the man and woman died down, but there was still no one to be seen.

In the end, he had to go out and go to the money house first to stop taking care of the business. I rushed back again, and when I entered the house, I saw that Liu Mei was sitting in front of the window, served by the maid, embroidering an object.

Liu Mei hurriedly got up, stepped forward to serve Boss Qian and sat down, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, asking why the master came back so early today, is the money village busy, and so on. It's as if nothing happened.

Boss Qian's heart was suddenly in a mess, no matter how diligent and enthusiastic Liu Mei was, he couldn't keep his spirits up.

I found an opportunity to ask the maid, and the maid said that at noon that day, Madame asked her to buy needlework and cloth early in the morning, and did not accompany Madame. Boss Qian naturally tried it further, and found that Liu Mei was often like this, asking the maid to go out to do this and that, and let her go.

Boss Qian became more suspicious. Later, I deliberately went home early a few times, and sure enough, there were two more times, and the previous situation happened.

Things are weird. Boss Qian had no choice but to suppress the matter, but the subordinates slowly discovered the abnormal movement in Liumei's room, and the rumors suddenly spread.

Lao Qian didn't believe that it was the fox fairy who did it, and secretly followed and inspected the whereabouts of his concubine several times, but found nothing.

In the end, he had no choice but to find Zhao Dalu in private.
