Chapter 51: Ghost Gate Gorge
Xie Bangui sneered: "We people, all of our whereabouts these days are all under your noses, have you ever seen me pick the lock?" β
Su Li'er pointed at Mei Xin'er and said sharply: "I haven't seen when the secret box was handed over to her, you can hide the box under our noses, why can't you steal the lock?" β
Xie Bangui's face also sank: "Since you say so, then I don't need to explain anything?" Let's draw the line as you like! β
Su Li'er trembled with anger: "Okay, since you admit it." Ξ© Literatureβ‘ I will definitely report today's incident to the Xianfu, so that the masters of the Xianfu can seek justice from you. β
"The ghost is waiting for you at any time!" Xie Bangui waved his hand and said, "Xin'er, let's go." I'd like to see how much movement the Immortal Mansion can make! β
"Stop!" Su Li'er leaned sideways at the door: "If you don't hand over the things in the secret box today, no one will want to go out." β
"Li'er, don't mess around." Yu Xian got up and said, "Mr. Xie really hasn't opened the secret box, and that skeleton scattered into pieces of bones after unlocking it. It must be a one-time thing, Mr. Xie is not a person from the witch sect and can't copy the key. β
Su Li'er argued forcefully: "That's not easy to say, he is also a secret officer, and he knows a little bit about these things." β
Yu Xian said softly like coaxing a child: "Li'er, I understand your thoughts, if you can't get back the tomb map of Wu Shuangfeng, I will be severely punished by the Immortal Mansion." However, we cannot put the blame on Mr. Xie. β
"Miss......" Su Li'er's eyes turned red and tears fell.
Yu Xian held back her tears and bowed deeply to Xie Bangui and said: "Yu Xian is not strict, so that the maid offended Mr., and Yu Xian will make amends on her behalf." I also ask for your pardon. β
Xie Bangui hugged his fists and said: "The county lord of Yuxian does not let her eyebrows, and admires it." These secret boxes, do you want to go back and report to the Immortal Mansion? β
Yu Xian said dejectedly: "No need, no matter how valuable the secret box is, it is not our goal, Yu Xian has taken her leave, hoping that there will be a day when you will meet Mr. again." β
Xie Bangui arched his hand and said: "Take care of the county lord, there will be a period later." β
Yu Xian took Su Li'er to pedal away, and halfway through, Yu Xian suddenly said inexplicably: "No! β
Su Li'er was surprised: "Miss, what are you saying wrong?" β
"Xie half-ghost is not right!" Yu Xian hurriedly said, "You are walking at the back, do you remember what Xie Bangui said to that girl?" β
Su Li'er recalled: "It seems to say, put away the box...... Take it home as a souvenir ......."
Yu Xian seemed to sigh and said in an atmosphere: "What a half-ghost, let's go back." β
Su Li'er gritted her teeth and said, "I already knew that Xie Bangui didn't have any good intentions. He must have opened the box. β
"Xie Bangui has never opened the secret box, I can be sure of that." Yu Xian smiled bitterly: "He is a person who observes things in detail and attaches great importance to practicality. If he can put the box away, it means that he has something on it. β
Su Li'er frowned and said, "However, I don't have a mezzanine in the secret box!" β
Yu Xian smiled wryly, "We may have made the same mistake as the skull lock, focusing all our eyes on the inside of the box and ignoring what is in front of us. It's like we never thought the skull lock was the key. But Xie Bangui thought of it, Xie Bangui's vision, I can't imagine it. β
Su Li'er also seemed to have lost her mind: "Then are we going to question him?" β
"No!" Yu Xian shook her head and said: "That's the stupidest way, we follow him quietly, since he has revealed the secret, he will not be indifferent." Release the carrier pigeon to Wu Laosan and let him keep an eye on Xie Bangui. β
By the time they transferred to Yin Meng County, it was already midnight, but Xianfu's eyeliner in Yin Meng County said that Xie Bangui and Mei Xin'er had already left the county seat and went in the direction of the ghost ya.
The carrier pigeons that were tracking Xie Bangui also flew back one by one, Yu Xian looked at the news from her eyes, and her face became worse and worse: "Xie Bangui has walked five hundred miles, and the direction has not changed, am I guessing wrong?" β
Su Li'er whispered: "Perhaps, Wu Shuangfeng's secret burial is in the same direction as the ghost ya?" β
"Follow along!"
Yu Xian's master and servant immediately followed Xie Bangui away.
Xie Bangui himself suddenly appeared in the tall fat man's bedroom.
The tall fat man was scared half to death by Xie Bangui: "Brother! Don't be so scared, you don't sleep in the middle of the night and sit on the edge of my bed, trying to scare me to death? β
Xie Bangui picked up the oil lamp and said mysteriously: "Fatty, the opportunity for wealth is right in front of you, do you want to make a fortune?" β
"Opportunity for money?" The tall fat man's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head like a rattle and said: "Don't go, don't go, the wealth opportunity you said, nine out of nine are to rob the tomb, so I won't go?" β
Xie Bangui smiled: "It's a tomb robbery, and it's a tomb robbery of Wu Shuangfeng!" β
"Don't, don't, don't tell me!" The fat man put his head into the quilt and pouted his ass and said, "I don't want to die, I knew you didn't have a good heart when I saw you take away the secret box, and I really hit the idea on the dead man!" That's a master of the witch sect, maybe what will become after he dies? I'm not going. β
"Why don't you understand!" Xie Bangui patted the fat man's back and said, "Wu Shuangfeng only has two hobbies in his life, one is to study witch Gu and mechanisms, and the other is to collect rare treasures. Do you think that the White Lotus Sect wants to open Wu Shuangfeng's cemetery for his witch trick? They can even get their hands on the 'magic work' people, do they care about those side door tricks? They are treasures. Think about it, what a damn wealth a treasure that can make the White Lotus Sect tempting! β
The tall fat man pulled his head out of the quilt a little, and listened to Xie Bangui's seductive words: "Haven't you ever thought about what it's like to sleep on a golden bed?" You didn't add it up, and replaced the broken oil lamp in your house with a night pearl? Haven't you ever thought about using a night pot studded with colorful diamonds to catch urine in the middle of the night? β¦β¦ I'll let you scrape Yin Mengxian hard, and you will scrape all the people in Yin Mengxian to sell, how much can you earn? I'm afraid that even a fraction of Wu Shuangfeng's secret burial is not counted. β
The tall fat man sat up around the quilt and muttered in a low voice, "But the tomb, can we steal it?" Don't the baby hasn't arrived, let's go and bury people first. β
"As long as we join forces, we will definitely be able to do it." Xie Bangui pointed to the hammer placed next to the fat man's bed and said, "Don't forget, you still have a hammer and a nail!" β
The tall fat man struggled: "Let me think, let me think about ......"
"Still want to fart!" Zhao Jindao kicked open the door of the tall fat man's room, and pulled up Xie Bangui with Lao Qian left and right: "He doesn't want such a good opportunity, he deserves to die of poverty." He doesn't want to live a fairy life, and I still lack money to redeem Xiyu! Let's go, brother, let's talk outside! β
"Don't!" Tall and fat people are small, but when there are more people, they will be more courageous. Now that even Zhao Jindao has to come in with one foot, can he fall behind?
Xie Bangui and others went out overnight, went straight to Xiangxi by waterway, and went straight into the hinterland of Xiangxi by boat.
Their clippers rowed regularly across the turbid currents and surged southward. Zhao Jindao, who was born in the north, and the others sat on the boat and fell asleep, and suddenly, a shout broke through the peace...... My mother has Gu, she put me in the cup, I know, if she doesn't take it back quickly, I won't spare her: one day I will carry the dung on her door, pick a stone and smash the roof of her house, so that everyone knows that there is Gu in her family, some children can't marry, and some girls can't marry! β
Although Zhao Jindao didn't understand Miao language, he could feel the anger and hatred in the shouting, and couldn't help but lean the window and look out: "What is she shouting?" β
"This is someone shouting at the village!" Xie Bangui smiled indifferently: "Xiangxi Gu poison is popular, once someone feels that they have been hit by Gu, they will shout and shout like this, it is said that through this method of shouting village, let the people who "release Gu" hear it, and they will automatically take back the 'Gu' when they are afraid. β
Zhao Jindao said in disbelief: "Can this control the Gu poison?" β
"When you meet a master with Gu, it won't help if you shout out your throat, it's just some disputes among the villagers!" Xie Bangui suddenly said seriously: "Don't underestimate Gu poison!" Driving out corpses, Gu poison, falling flower cave girl and called the three evils of Xiangxi, especially Gu poison and witchcraft are even more people talk about tiger color change, the master who can run rampant in the Central Plains martial arts, but he does not dare to go to Xiangxi to publicize the reason is here! β
The tall fat man said nervously: "Brother, are you so sure that Wu Shuangfeng's tomb is in Xiangxi?" β
Xie Bangui said seriously: "I have studied Wu Shuangfeng's life. He was born in Xiangxi and was born in Wumen. Although the witch Gu technique is not recognized by the orthodoxy of the witch sect, the identity of the people in Wu Shuangfeng's witch sect cannot be changed. He will definitely be buried in Xiangxi after his death. β
Xie Bangui paused and said: "And the days when the Immortal Mansion paid attention to Wu Shuangfeng were not short, except for Xiangxi, I really can't think of any place where they dare not search on a large scale." β
Lao Qian agreed: "I agree with Brother Xie's statement, the liaison station of Xianfu covers almost the whole world, but Xiangxi is a forbidden place that their intelligence network cannot reach. It's not that there are no ghosts in Xiangxi, but that the wandering ghosts here are afraid of the wizard and dare not serve the secret. β
"What about the witches?" Gao Fatzi questioned: "Eight of the ten people in Wu Ya are from Xiangxi, and they can't find Wu Shuangfeng's tomb?" I don't believe that the witches have that kind of high spirit! β
"Don't believe this, don't believe that." Lao Qian rubbed his temples and said: "The people of Wuya can be said to be traitors of Wumen in Xiangxi, the first precept of Wumen is not to serve the imperial court, and the people of Wuya have been sold to the imperial court, do they dare to come back casually?" β
"That's good, that's good......" The tall fat man came to his spirit again: "It's so late, should we find a place to rest?" β
Xie Bangui pointed to the village by the river and said, "That's it!" It's time to get some supplies. β
After a few people settled down, Lao Qian walked out by himself, and did not return to the village until he held the lamp, and it could be seen from his expression that the process of finding clues was not smooth. Zhao Jindao silently moved a chair for him, but Xie Bangui smiled and said, "You don't have to cry with a sad face, it doesn't matter if the Miao people don't want to deal with you, it won't be long before they come to us?" β
Zhao Jindao frowned and said, "Why are you so sure?" β
Xie Bangui fiddled with the tea bowl and said, "We also brought a boatload of salt!" In the eyes of the Miao people, salt is more expensive than gold! β
Zhao Sen muttered, "Cut, what if it's a wizard who comes to the door?" β
"Shh Xie Bangui suddenly made a silent gesture, as soon as he landed the door, he was pushed open from the outside, and the old woman of the farm walked in tremblingly with a food plate, Xie Bangui gestured to her to put dinner on the table.
Zhao Jindao saw that the old woman was incapacitated and was about to get up to greet her, but the tall fat man held down her thigh under the table.
