Chapter 14: Where to go

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the lord of the ghost market took a jar of tomb wine and invited the drunkard fairy to drink. After three mouthfuls of yellow soup, the fairy aunt told the story of the monster of the underworld marriage hijab, and told Mu Qingming that the murder in the city could not be done by the monster of the hijab. Drawing out Mu Qingming's silk and cocoon, it was expected that the fairy aunt's mother was troublesome, so she handed over the hijab to others for safekeeping. So the dragon lockers traveled to Jiaosan Bridge at night, and Mu Qingming went to the coffin shop to ask where the hijab went. 】

The moonlight outside the small building was as clear as frost, quietly sprinkled down, and spread out in the forest on Happy Horse Mountain, bringing up a patch of mottled one after another.

The ghost market gradually became lively, and many shady transactions began to be traded on this moonlit night.

In the building, there was not much left of a jar full of tomb wine, and the fairy girl, who looked comfortable and satisfied, wiped her lips with her sleeves.

Before, her eyes were not wandering when she spoke, her words were not repeated and her tone was not raised, and she did not shrug her shoulder and rub her nose and other subconscious movements when lying, Mu Qingming had already expected that the fairy aunt was not lying. It's just that he still can't figure it out, why doesn't the fairy aunt's mother take care of the monster herself?

"Jiao Sanqiao?" Mu Qingming, who had been silent for a long time, muttered to himself, then looked at the fairy Gu and asked: "Is it the one on the Mingtong River outside the Dadongmen (now the small garden at the intersection of Renmin Middle Road and Qingnian Road), which was funded and built by a wealthy businessman surnamed Youjiao?" ”。

"yes, that's it." The fairy aunt nodded her head and looked at Mu Qingming's frowning brows with interest, as if she was thinking about something, out of curiosity why Mu Qingming suddenly frowned, she stared at Mu Qingming with open eyes and asked, "What did this young master think of?" ”。

Her words interrupted Mu Qingming's thoughts, and Mu Qingming, who had recovered from his thoughts, shook his head lightly with a smile, and said, "It's nothing; Just a little bit of feng shui, according to the feng shui layout of the spring city, there is open at a glance, and the Mingtong River cut off the leyline, the aura in the vein is therefore not smooth, belongs to the phase of the earth in the Jin Ge staggered, suddenly separated from the place, living here for a long time will only bring people a disaster of blood and light. I really don't understand, why would the coffin shop be opened in such a place? Aren't they afraid of blood? Or is it that from the guys to the shopkeepers in the store, they can create a bloody disaster? ”。

As soon as these words came out, the fairy girl who had just lifted the wine bowl was suddenly stunned, and the mouth of the bowl stopped at her slightly trembling lips.

"Such terrain also has a little-known name in Feng Shui, called the guillotine. I heard that the people of Spring City also gave it a simple and easy-to-understand name - called Mourning Bridge. After a pause, Mu Qingming said thoughtfully: "It is said that all funeral teams must cross this bridge first when they go out of the city. If you open a shop in such a vicious place, the people in the shop are either disciples of the Door of Death; This kind of person is born to kill people like hemp, and they have fierceness all over their bodies, and they can fight poison with poison and suppress the evil qi overflowing from the ground. And opening a coffin shop is just a cover for selling dog meat on the head of a sheep. Either that's in the store, there's really the ancient mirror you said. ”。

The astonishment flashed on the fairy girl's face, and then Mu Qingming said leisurely: "Maybe there are both possibilities; It is precisely because of the bronze mirror that the people in the store are all bloodied with their hands, and they are born with a fierce ferocity, so they can suppress the monster by suppressing the evil with evil; Your mother was afraid of trouble, and she didn't want to make anything happen to the monster, so she gave it to them for safekeeping. ”。

As soon as the words landed, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the fairy girl, even more than before. But what Mu Qingming said was the truth, and the fairy aunt was really afraid of trouble before, so she came up with such a seemingly perfect way to hand over the underworld marriage hijab to this store for safekeeping.

"But your mother is wrong, the people of the Asking Gate have always only negotiated the price, and there is no bottom line. As long as the price is right, they will do anything. Mu Qingming, who had already slowly got up, squinted his eyes, and after a cold light burst out of his eyes, he said slowly and meaningfully: "Maybe that hijab has been sold by them now." Therefore, it is still very likely that the monster that committed murder in the city is this hijab. ”。

After saying this, Mu Qing meditated and had nothing to ask, so after thanking the city lord, he took away the extra ocean, pulled Mo Han and turned around and left.

"What's the origin of this little master?" After watching him leave for a long time, the fairy aunt withdrew her gaze from the door of the building, turned to lower her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and let the ghost city lord who had already entered the seat, and sighed leisurely: "The second ancestor who looks clear and delicate looks like an embroidered pillow, but it is hidden deeply; Not only is the breathing technique strange, secretly in line with the rising and falling speed of the turbid qi between heaven and earth, but also thoughtful, just a few clues can deduce the whole process; Old bald donkey, how did you know this person? ”。

"It's all fate." The city lord replied indifferently, then smiled kindly, and said leisurely: "But with his ability, that monster that we haven't been able to eliminate for hundreds of years, it's bad luck to meet him; Fortunately, in this way, one of our wishes can be fulfilled, and the city can be more peaceful. ”......

In the afternoon of the next day, Mu Qingming came back from work in Rong Bao Zhai early.

"Why so early? Didn't you come back until sunset? Seeing him come back, he greeted Mo Han, and when he saw him frowning, he casually asked, "What's wrong?" ”。

"In the past few days, the shopkeeper has to go to the surrounding countryside to collect things, so today he let me get off work in advance and gave me three days off." Mu Qingming frowned, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the coffin shop." When I came back, I went around and found that the door of this coffin shop was locked, and I asked the surrounding pedestrians to find out that this shop is usually opened at sunset. ”。

Mu Qingming said this and walked to the well. Mo Han followed, scooping water for him from the vat by the well, and said, "This is unusual, it is not open during the day and open at night." ”。

With a "bang", the clear and cold well water poured into the basin, splashing a little water.

"Well, but I didn't notice the smell of a monster when I looked around. It's just that the murderous aura is too heavy. Mu Qingming stared at the ripples in the basin for a moment, and said slowly: "It is indeed the territory of the Seeking Life Gate in Spring City. ”。

After a pause, Mu Qingming turned his head to look at Mo Han, put away his solemn face and asked with a smile, "Why don't we go shopping at night?" ”。

"Okay, it's a place for wicked people who kill people and set fires, it's really exciting." The elated Mo Han agreed in one gulp.

Mu Qingming washed his face, and saw that Miaotian happened to come out of the room and walked towards him, so he asked while wiping his face, "Gong Xiaoyun is nothing unusual, right?" ”。

"No, it's quiet." Miaotian stood in front of him and said calmly: "But at noon, that inspector Zhao Liang came, let me convey to you, saying that the autopsy report came out, and the deceased's internal organs had traces of human teeth biting, and the internal organs were indeed eaten." ”。

"yes, I forgot about it." After being reminded by him, Mo Han also remembered this and shouted: "I also rubbed a meal." ”。

"Got it." Mu Qingming shook his hand and motioned for him to go about his own business......

At night, the evening breeze was slightly cool, and after eating and drinking leisurely, Mu Qingming wiped his mouth, got up and walked out of the courtyard without saying a word with Mo Han, who had been waiting impatiently.

"The young master went out with Miss Mo Han for the past two nights, and he didn't come back until midnight." Miao Yu, who was gossiping in her heart, bit her chopsticks and looked at the direction of Mu Qingming's departure, and guessed: "I said that I was asking where the monster was, but when I came back, it was the second half of the night, did you say that the young master thought that we were in the way at home, so he took Miss Mo Han out to find a place, and Hua Qianyue went down?" ”。

The eyes of the other people lit up when they heard this, and they replied thoughtfully in unison, "Possibly." ”。

"So in the future, we will walk around the courtyard less at night, and go back to the room when it gets dark, don't disturb the young master." Miao Yu, who put down the chopsticks, looked around at a few other people and said leisurely; Mu Luo left her behind, so that she secretly matched Mu Qingming and Mo Han.

The rest of the people hurriedly turned their heads and continued to eat.

Naturally, he didn't know that Miao Yu was talking about Mu Qingming behind his back, so he took Mo Han out of Shala Lane and headed towards the Great East Gate.

After nightfall, the vicinity of the Great East Gate is not deserted and very lively because of its proximity to the Yunjin Night Market. Some of the liquor shops in the neighborhood are still open for customers.

And now there is no fighting, no curfew, and the gates are wide open. Mu Qingming and Mo Han easily walked out of the big east gate, also known as the Wafer Gate, and headed towards the outside of the city.

Once out of the city, there was a lot less noise around. Mu Qingming took Mo Han and walked towards Jiao San Bridge with a familiar car, and when he arrived at the edge of Jiao San Bridge, he saw a coffin shop on the side of the bridge, and the door that was closed during the day had been wide open; Then the dim sunset can be seen in the store with a few mouthfuls of unpainted longevity, surrounded by carpenter's tools.

Mu Qingming and Mo Han glanced at each other, and at the same time walked towards this coffin shop that didn't even have a front sign.

After entering the store, I didn't see any other guys, only a half-hundred-year-old man with gloomy eyes, standing behind the counter in every possible way, and after seeing Mu Qingming and them come in, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to make longevity?" Is the size belt? ”。

"Don't make longevity." Mu Qingming stood still in the dimly lit shop, looked around the group, strode to the counter and stood still, looked directly at the half-hundred-year-old man without fear, and said bluntly: "I heard that there is a hidden hijab in the store, can I take a look?" ”。

The old man, who was stunned suddenly, was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be stupid and said, "What are you talking about?" ”。

Then he smiled, and the yin owl in his eyes suddenly decreased a little, and then said: "We only make coffins here; There is nothing else but Shoucai. ”。

"Are all the people in the Gate of Seeking Life so bottom-line? When has it become your traditional virtue to keep your mouth shut? Mu Qingming didn't bother to talk nonsense with them; For every minute he drags, another person may die. He simply took out three oceans from his sleeve and put them on the table, and asked bluntly: "I want to know the whereabouts of the underworld marriage hijab." ”。

Will the life-seeking door be opened? Where did the hijab go? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

[Mingtong River of Suolongren Small Theater - Mingtong River is a river parallel to the Panlong River on the east side of Panlong River and Beijing Road. "Kunming City Chronicles" recorded: "This river is the diversion of the Jinzhi River in Sanyuanzha, originates near the Yunnan Military Region, along the west side of Beijing Road to the Jiaosan Bridge and turns to the southeast, through Mingtong Lane, the municipal government (referring to the old city government on Dongfeng Road), Tangzi Lane, Mingtong Road, through the South Railway Station to the south, after the confluence of Zhangjiamiao and Qingshui River, it is called Daqing River, and enters Dianchi Lake in Qingshuihe Village. "After the 50s of the last century, the inner section of the city of Mingtong River was gradually covered and buried under the houses or streets, becoming a dark river. The location of the three bridges is generally in the area of the intersection of Beijing Road and Renmin East Road. To the west of it, it faces the Dadongmen Bridge next to the Panlong River. Now the river and the bridge are gone, leaving only the name of the Jiaosanqiao bus and subway station. 】
