Chapter Thirty-Six: The Down-and-Out Taoist

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming and Zhao Liangbing searched for the whereabouts and details of Boss Qian in two ways. Mu Qingming, who went to the ghost market, through the vast connections of the ghost city lord, took the lead in finding out that Boss Qian was active in the Qipanshan area outside the city. Zhao Liang, who was in the police department immediately afterwards, also learned from Xu Lao's mouth that Boss Qian was mostly active in the area of Qipan Mountain. Led out Mu Qingming and his wife to the foothills of the mountain in the shape of a case, the literary atmosphere rose, the chessboard peak in the jade case mountain surrounded by greenery, and the green forest looked for a thousand bosses for a long time, but still found nothing. The sky was getting dark, and the hungry Mu Qingming made up a pheasant from the forest. After Mu Qingming killed the chicken in one go, the blood of the pheasant did not attract the beast, but led the forest to a crazy way. 】

That is, the white clouds as white as snow have begun to drift slightly to the west, and the sun is not dazzling, and it is no longer so scorching.

In the quiet provincial police department, in the busy office of Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang was overjoyed, stood up sharply, and stared at Xu Lao, who was standing behind the door, with wide eyes, his eyes full of joy and excitement.

Xu Lao thought about it for a while, frowned, and then said to Zhao Liang: "But the locals don't know where he is?" In short, he often wandered around the Jade Case Mountain and the Qipan Mountain in the Jade Case Mountain, and no one knew where he lived. This man is very strange, no one knows where he came from or where he goes, and no one knows where he lives. ”。

Xu Lao didn't ask Zhao Liang much, but through the excitement in Zhao Liang's eyes, he could see that Zhao Liang was very interested in Boss Qian. He expected that Zhao Liang might have to go to the thousand bosses, so he told Zhao Liang everything he knew.

"A master of the world?" Zhao Liang was excited and asked loudly.

"Let's just put it that way." Xu Lao nodded his head, then turned around and left, and said in his mouth: "There are still some things over there in the mortuary room, I'll go and get busy first." If you want to go to him, if you need my help with anything, just come to me. ”。

When the words landed, Xu Lao had already walked out of Zhao Liang's office and walked towards the corpse room. And Zhao Liang was overjoyed, and decided that he must go to Qipanshan to find this thousand boss tomorrow.

In any case, Zhao Liang also wants to find out this so-called master of the world; After the case is solved, the key is that Zhao Liang also wants to see if this person is a master?

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang said to the people around him: "Move all the materials back, and then go to rest." ”。

These words were very sudden, but they made the surrounding policemen who were busy with backache stunned in place, looking at Zhao Liang blankly, with a lot of incomprehension in their eyes.

But in the silence of Zhao Liang, who was sitting in the chair, they also reacted quickly and hurriedly cleaned up, their hands and feet were sharper than before, and their actions were faster than before.

However, after a while, Zhao Liang's office no longer saw a mountain of files. The policemen who came to help also slipped away and disappeared in front of Zhao Liang's eyes along with the files.

Zhao Liang was left alone, sitting alone in the office and muttering. He took out the paper cigarette in his pocket again, put it in his mouth and lit it.

Under the smoke, Zhao Liang looked thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The afternoon sun glows a faint orange red, a little softer, but a little less sharp. The golden light in the air outside the house has faded, but a soft faint orange red appears. The clouds in the sky are no longer as white as snow, so there is a touch of orange, but they are even more beautiful. The elegance contained in the colorful clouds is also a bit lazy and comfortable.

The flowers and plants planted in the provincial police department are still exuding a hearty fragrance under the soft sunlight.

The mottled shadows of the trees silently climbed up the multicolored glass window of Zhao Liang's office, and also sprinkled mottled silhouettes into the smoky office.

Zhao Liang gently pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the celadon ashtray at hand. The last wisps of green smoke, a moment before the cigarette butt went out, slowly rose from the ashes.

After Zhao Liang shook off the cigarette ash stuck to his fingertips, he suddenly opened the drawer in his hand; The action is done in one go.

He will set off early tomorrow morning, and take Mu Qingming to the area of Qipan Mountain in the Jade Case Mountain to find the whereabouts of that thousand boss.

I went to a strange place, all in a strange environment. Although Zhao Liang was accompanied by Mu Qingming, a strange person, he still had to be fully prepared.

In the drawer that he slammed open, there were several sheets of paper that he didn't know what had been written, and a book, on which lay a twenty-shot Mauser pistol.

From the barrel to the sound of the gun, it was jet black and shiny, and it was shiny. At a glance, you can see that Zhao Liang has taken good care of this robbery.

Zhao Liang, who was excited in his eyes, quickly reached out and picked up the gun, and skillfully withdrew from the * in front of the trigger. With a soft "click", * retreated, Zhao Liang looked down at the golden bullets filled inside, and then put * on the gun again.

As everyone knows, Mu Qingming and Mo Han already knew about Boss Qian one step ahead of him, and they were rushing to Jade Case Mountain......

Located in the west of the city, the Jade Case Mountain is named because the foothills are shaped like a case. Therefore, in the feng shui layout of Kunming, the literary atmosphere of Yushan Mountain is rising, and the green is embraced by the blue, and the Wenchang feng shui of the main Kunming City.

And the peaks in the Jade Case Mountain, the peaks of the Qipan Mountain are the most famous. It is said that there is a stone on the top of the mountain, and the stone surface presents a checkerboard pattern, with 19 stone patterns in the vertical and horizontal, no more, no less. Locals call it the Chessboard Stone, hence the name of the mountain.

And the mountains are also pine and beautiful, the mountain forest vegetation is dense, the four seasons are green and evergreen, and the scenery is beautiful. There is Bodhi Spring at the foot of the mountain, and the spring water is always sweet and has an endless aftertaste. Even Xu Xiake, a traveler in the Ming Dynasty, came here to visit this place.

Mu Qingming and Mo Han were at the ghost city lord's place, and after eating a famous local feast of insects, they rushed to Qipan Mountain. The two of them directly used the shrinkage of the ground into inches, and in a moment they came to the top of the mountain.

The wind blows in the quiet mountains, and the birds sing in unison among the green trees. The branches and foliage block out some of the sunlight, but they cast mottled silhouettes on the ground.

Mu Qingming and Mo Han paced slowly in the green forest, among the dense woods and shrubs.

The news they got from the lord of the ghost market was that Boss Qian should live in the mountains, and the village below the mountains was just a place for him to hang out. When he met someone in the village who wanted to catch a ghost or eliminate a disaster, he would help people, and his reputation in the local area was still good, and his popularity was also very high.

So Mu Qingming and Mo Han came straight to the mountain; And this person claims to be the descendant of the local chessboard ancestor, and most of them should stay in the chessboard mountain.

There is a chessboard temple in the mountain, which was built by the locals to commemorate the great achievements of the chessboard ancestor to inspect the local disaster and pray for good weather.

But from the information obtained by the lord of the ghost city, it seems that this thousand bosses are no longer in the temple, and they don't seem to like to live in the temple or the house. This is bitter for Mu Qingming and Mo Han, and they can only hike in the vast mountains and forests to find the traces of the thousand bosses.

However, they can gather Qi to protect their bodies, and cover their bodies with a layer of true Qi that is as hard as iron, and the sharp grass and stones in the mountains and the sharp thorns of the branches cannot hurt them even a bit.

After walking for a long time, the chessboard stones on the top of the mountain have been found, but there is still no trace of the thousand bosses. As far as the eye can see, the mountains are full of greenery, and only lush trees remain. There are also some leafy shrubs, and some rocks that have broken through the ground.

The sun was in the west, Mu Qingming and Mo Han were tired of walking in the mountains, and in the kettle that the ghost city lord brought to them, there was only Banhu water left, and there was still no trace of Boss Qian, but they saw a lot of small beasts in the mountains, and both of them couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Mo Han stopped, lit a towering giant tree, leaned on the dark green trunk, looked around and said, "It's almost dark, we have searched the entire mountaintop, but we still haven't seen a human figure." ”。

The birds chirp pleasantly, the mountain breeze is refreshing and cool, and the mountain air is also very fresh with lush vegetation and flowers, mixed with a hint of sweetness, but it is also pleasant.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't been looking for a long time and hadn't been able to see the thousand bosses, Mo Han would have been even happier.

But between her frowning brows now, there was a little irritability.

Mu Qingming, who was beside him, saw that Mo Han's patience was almost exhausted, so he said to his wife, "You find some firewood and wait for me on the spot." ”。 After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the grass and trees, and after a while, he disappeared without a trace, and only heard the sound of rustling where he went.

Mo Han was wondering what Mu Qingming was going to do, when he saw her husband turn around again, but there was an extra forehead and the base of the upper mouth in his hand that were black, rich in blue-green luster. A pheasant with tan on the top of its head, white eyebrows, and crimson skin on the front and around its eyes.

In the mountains of Yunnan, there is no shortage of such wild things. And if the dragon locker wants to go out, he naturally still has the ability to hunt. When looking for the traces of Boss Qian all the way, no trace in every part of the forest escaped Mu Qingming's eyes.

He knew exactly where a wild beast was passing, whether it was a herbivore or a carnivore.

Now that my wife is also a little tired, I simply went to catch a pheasant and gave my wife a taste.

"You cook at home, how about trying my craft today?" As he spoke, Mu Qingming had already spewed out a thin line of true qi from his fingertips, like a sharp needle, without hesitation, piercing into the throat of the pheasant in his hand, and hurriedly pulled it out, the pheasant snorted, and a small hole with a finger thick had been opened in his neck.

After Mu Qingming skillfully bled it, he began to pluck his hair.

Mo Han was stunned. Her husband, who is too lazy to die at home, and who doesn't care about anything after eating, can skillfully bleed and pluck his hair, and there is no superfluity at all in the action of doing it in one go.

Mo Han's eyes widened, and he froze in place, watching her husband lift the pheasant in his hand with his head down, so that the pheasant, which was no longer fluttering, could better flow out the blood in his body.

If she hadn't known her husband for a long time, Mo Han would definitely think that the man in front of her would definitely be a professional killer. With Mu Qingming's skillful movements, if you don't want to be a dragon locker, you can go to Kunming City to kill chickens and sell them.

It wasn't until the last drop of crimson chicken blood fell to the ground, sprinkled on the blades of grass in front of Mu Qingming's feet, and then scattered into the soil, that Mo Han came to his senses.

And Mu Qingming had already taken advantage of the fact that the pheasant was dripping blood and slowly dying, and plucked half of the smooth and bright feathers on its body alive.

But the force of the hand was moderate, and the skin and flesh of the pheasant were not torn apart.

There is no boiling water here, so this is the only way to pluck the feathers.

Mo Han, who reacted, swallowed his saliva and hurriedly went to collect firewood. Thinking of the appearance of a fragrant roast chicken, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

Scattered on the ground, it became a patch of red and mottled chicken blood, exuding pungent blood, overflowing in the forest.

At this moment, deep in the woods behind the two, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly came to mind: "Do you two want to roast chicken?" ”。

Mu Qingming and Mo Han's hearts sank, they didn't perceive the existence of outsiders at all before they heard the voice. When they fled again, they saw a down-and-out Taoist in a tattered Taoist robe, standing not far behind them, with a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes, staring at the pheasant in Mu Qingming's hand.
