Chapter 5: Lock the dragon man and explore the West Temple Tower

[The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qing saw that the floating corpse had dark blue skin, and it was expected that this person had been poisoned by the corpse before he died, and I heard that someone said that there were two holes in the neck of the floating corpse, and he was about to take a closer look but was stopped by Inspector Zhao Liang, and coaxed him that the floating corpse was just a person who fell into the water, and there was nothing to see. Mu Qingming believed this on the surface, but secretly he was suspicious, so he planned to take the little boy to the ghost market on Happy Horse Mountain outside the city to ask for clarification. Led out, the blind woman saw Qian Yan open her mouth to spit out the truth, Dao Ming floating corpse identity, lock the dragon people in the middle of the night to return to Kunming City, to explore the West Temple Tower. 】

The wind was miserable, whistling over the top of the hill, and the lights in front of the stall kept swaying.

The turtle shell copper coin, as well as the eyeless eye sockets, all show that the slightly hunchbacked old lady in front of her is a blind woman.

The blind woman stared at her empty eyes that had no eyeballs, looked at Mu Qingming, and after opening her wrinkled lips, her mouth, which had few teeth, made a hoarse voice: "Do you want to see a figure-eight?" Or let the old body touch the bones? ”。 As he spoke, he raised his crumpled right hand, revealing five fingers with sharp black nails, and slowly stretched out towards Mu Qingming.

"You're not a local." Mu Qingming, whose eyes looked like Lang Xing, showed a sharp eye, and after sweeping the red, green, blue and yellow stripes on the old woman's arms and the back of her hands, she said lightly: "You are a grass ghost woman from Xiangxi." ”。

Although the sound of this earth-breaking statement was not loud, it sounded like rolling thunder to the blind woman's ears, and she couldn't help but shake her body, but her slightly open lips couldn't make a sound. Stretching out half of his right hand, he was suddenly stunned in the middle of the air less than an inch away from Mu Qingming.

"You want to give me Gu by touching the bones, and then tell me I'm sick; If I don't believe it, if I leave, I will inevitably have a poisonous attack when I get home, and if I ask you, you can make a lot of money. Mu Qingming, who had already guessed the purpose of the old woman, handed the lantern to the bearer and stood in front of the stall, and said with a smile: "If I believe it, you will treat me immediately, but in fact, I can secretly solve the Gu, and I can also make money, and I will be grateful to you." This business can make money left and right. ”。

After speaking, he laughed loudly, startled the nearby stall owners to look at this side curiously; Then he laughed, and under the nervous expression of the blind woman, he said calmly and softly: "But I am not a three- or five-year-old child, and your tricks are useless to me; Calling you mother-in-law is respecting you. If you are more serious, you will live another Jiazi, and you will have to call me grandpa! ”。

"It's Grandpa." Miao Jue then added proudly.

As soon as these words came out, I knew that I had met a blind woman who was a master today, and I was even more frightened.

After being stunned for a while, cold sweat broke out on the tip of her forehead and nose, and the first thing she did when she came to her senses was to get up in a hurry, and bowed to Mu Qingming again and again: "My little sister is blind and blind today, and I hope that your guests will forgive her sins." ”。

It is somewhat strange for a seventy-year-old woman to call herself a little sister to a young man in her early twenties.

"Forget it, don't you want to make money?" Mu Qingming didn't bother to care, and after smiling disapprelicly, he took out a silver dollar from his sleeve and shook it in front of the blind woman, saying, "One problem is one ocean, but you have to know everything." ”。

"Okay, okay." Immediately, the blind woman, who was already in high spirits, quickly stretched out her hand and made a good move to receive the money. You must know that this piece of ocean, in Kunming City at that time, you could buy thirty or forty catties of high-quality rice, how could she be unhappy with the blind woman?

"The first question, how did the dead bodies in the grain river in Kunming die today?". Mu Qingming put the silver dollar in her hand and gently put it in her hand.

"I don't know!" The blind woman spoke in tongues, blew the silver dollar, and hurriedly put it to her ear to listen.

Mu Qingming was slightly stunned, but he still took out the second copper coin and asked, "Are there zombies near Kunming City?" ”。 As he spoke, he put the silver dollar into the palm of the blind woman's dirty hand again.

"I don't know!" Again, I got the same answer.

"Are you telling the truth?" Miao Jue took a step forward and asked sharply.

"It's the truth." The blind woman looked innocent, turned her head and looked at Miao Jue with her eyeless eyes, but her hand pointed at Mu Qingming, straightened her waist and shouted not to be outdone: "The whole muttering of the ghost shouting (shouting loudly) is a question that he said individually (himself) A big ocean, and he didn't say that he must know before giving it." ”。

shouted justifiably, but her heart fluttered and fluttered wildly, she had seen Mu Qingming's ability, and she could see that her experience was not shallow. And she is young and claims to be older than her, either a fairy or a ghost, she can't afford to mess with her. It was also a reluctant decision to be forced.

Miao Jue was choked by her, and she was impatient, and she was about to raise her hand to clean up this old grandmother who saw the money, but was stopped by Mu Qingming, and said with a light smile: "It is polite to come to the door to ask for advice; The two dollars should be used as a greeting gift, and the following questions should be answered truthfully. ”。

"Hmm." The blind woman, who was secretly relieved, nodded and stretched out her hand again, but this time it was done carefully.

"First, what is the surname of the floating corpse?" Mu Qingming took out two silver dollars and asked unhurriedly, "Second, what did you do before you died?" ”。

"I don't really know, but I can ask you about it. This second knows, he is the tower keeper of the West Temple Tower, since the end of the previous dynasty, he is the tower keeper, Kunming people know him. The honest blind woman took the silver dollar and grinned. The laughter was shrill and piercing, like a jackal smiling fox, which made the scalp tingle.

"Tower Keeper?" Mu Qingming muttered, lowered his head slightly, frowned and thought about it.

"Yes, there is an evil dragon under the tower of the East and West Temple, and it is said that guarding the tower is guarding the dragon." After a casual answer, the blind woman sat down and played with the four silver dollars, counting them over and over again.

"Young Master." The wonderful light call pulled the pensive Mu Qingming out of his thoughts. Then he pointed to the green light in the lantern and said, "We should go." ”。

It is said that the candles in the lanterns of the ghost market are only enough to burn for an hour; In other words, everyone can only stay in the ghost market for an hour in a day, and the so-called fire can't stay for a long time, which is the rule of the ghost market.

And in order to remind everyone to pay attention to the time, this candle will show a green fire when it is burned to the back, because of the addition of phosphorus powder; It is intended to remind the buyers of the ghost market that time is running out. But the reason for this is that it has been a long time since it was formulated, and it is impossible to verify it.

"Hmm." Mu Qingming nodded his head and walked towards the way he came without saying a word.

After another half an hour, they finally walked out of the dark forest and stood at the foot of the mountain. Mu Qingming, bathed in the hazy moonlight, still frowned.

Seeing that Mu Qingming was preoccupied, Miao Jue asked curiously, "Young Master, what do you want?" ”。

"I remember when my grandfather was alive, he once mentioned at the dinner table that he would come to Kunming when he was young, and the East and West Temple Pagoda already existed at that time, right?" Mu Qingming asked with a frown.

"Old lady?" Miao Jue took a breath of cold air, thought about it for a while, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that there is such a thing." ”。

"The tower keeper actually guards the dragon? Generally, the evil dragon that is suppressed will not live for three to five hundred years. My grandfather came to Kunming during the Hongwu period, and it has been 500 years since then, what kind of dragon do you still keep? Mu Qingming, who was even more suspicious, muttered to himself.

"Young master, aren't you worrying about the sky for nothing? I dare to expect that this tower keeper is the tower keeper, not the blind woman talking nonsense about guarding the dragon. Guessing how wonderful he was puzzled, he patted the outside of his thigh and shouted disappreciably: "That tower keeper was bitten to death by a zombie, let's not think about anything else; Find out the zombie and destroy it, and the merit will be complete. ”。

"No, no, no." Mu Qingming, who was slowly moving forward, shook his head slightly, and said very firmly: "The evil dragon is still there, so the tower guards will die." ”。

He was stunned by this wonderful moment, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"According to the ancient books of the dragon lockers, the evil dragon with strong dragon qi may not be able to suppress it to death, but there is no such dragon in ten thousand." Mu Qingming, who suddenly became refreshed, stopped, turned to look at Miao Jue and asked, "And think about it, what is there in any place to suppress the evil dragon?" ”。

"If the dragon is alive, it will have dragon energy." Miao Jue looked at him stunned, and said slowly: "There are still dragon balls in some places; If the dragon dies, there will be gold and silver treasures left behind by the dragon. ”。

After thinking about it for a while, the voice became lighter and lighter because of the doppelganger, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he was wonderful; If the dragon is alive and the person who guards the dragon is not dead, they will often check the seal of the dragon. And what is sealed away with the dragon is the supreme wealth.

Since ancient times, it has been said that people die for money, and birds die for food, and if you can obtain the treasure of the dragon, you can at least save decades of struggle.

Such a reckless move is very worthwhile in the eyes of many people and demons with bad intentions.

"The rules of the tower keeper are not too far away from the tower when you go out; This tower keeper actually died on the grain river, and I don't believe that he was not murdered. Mu Qingming smiled at him, nodded and said, "But if you want to know how he died, we have to go to the West Temple Tower to verify whether there is a dragon under the tower." ”。

"Well, if you don't have a dragon, you can find traces of greed." Smiling wonderfully, he nodded his head: "If you touch the melon along the vine, you will definitely be able to find the evil thing that bites the tower keeper to death." ”。

"Hold on to me." Mu Qingming stopped talking nonsense and took out a soil retreat talisman from his pocket.

The next second later, the rune paper burned out, and the two of them disappeared under the night sky one by one.

However, after a breath, the two of them had already stood in front of the West Temple Pagoda behind Dongsi Street in Kunming City, and they were shocked that the dogs in the surrounding houses barked wildly.

The two of them raised their heads together, looking up at this square dense eaves type thirteen-level hollow brick tower bathed in the starry sky, and the copper golden roosters standing at the four corners of the top of the tower could be faintly seen, spreading their huge wings in the night, majestic and magnificent.

The so-called golden rooster is just the common name of the people of Kunming, as early as the first day of arriving in Kunming, Mu Qingming recognized that it was actually the eight of the Buddhist family, the great peng Ganuro, which was the evil dragon that could be suppressed as a disaster.

And the West Temple Tower was originally built in the Huiguang Temple, only because the Kunming people commonly called the Huiguang Temple as the West Temple, so it is called the West Temple Tower. Unfortunately, as early as the sixth year of Xianfeng, Huiguang Temple was destroyed by Bingxie. Since then, only this west temple tower stands alone in this place, echoes with the east temple tower not far away, constitutes one of the "eight views of Kunming" "twin towers smoke and rain".

The night breeze blows, and the bells on the tower are heard in all directions; The two of them circled around the base of the three-story King Kong Pagoda under the tower and came to the south.

"I didn't smell the dragon either." Raising his nose and sniffing the wonders of the air in the tower for a long time, he muttered with confusion on his face.

"The dragon isn't here." Mu Qingming raised his head and looked at the top of the tower, through the hazy moon pass, he could vaguely see the middle of the four golden rooster statues, and there was a bronze tower of about two zhang.

"Kunming takes the city as a array, suppresses the evil dragon, and also absorbs the dragon qi to nourish the place, so it can be so outstanding." After a while, Mu Qingming, who slowly closed his eyes, suddenly appeared in his mind a map of the old Kunming City that resembled a basalt spirit turtle, and the labels of the east and west temple towers in the picture were particularly eye-catching; In his mouth, he said leisurely: "The dragon is not here, this is just one of the seals." ”。

Yu Bi suddenly opened his eyes and said categorically: "Let's go, let's go into the tower and have a look." As he spoke, he stepped up to the base of the Vajra Tower.

Can Mu Qingming enter the West Temple Pagoda smoothly? Is the tower just a seal as he says? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

[Lock Dragon Man Small Theater - Grass Ghost Woman. Some people may feel unfamiliar with the draft ghost woman, but when it comes to their other name, Gu Po, everyone should be familiar with it. Gu is commonly known as the "grass ghost" in Xiangxi, and according to legend, it is only attached to women and harms others. Therefore, those women who have so-called Gu are called "grass ghost women". 】
