Chapter 56 The Things of Zhenjiang
I couldn't help but scream: "Ninth Master??"
The ninth master snorted coldly, and before he could turn his head, the red silk suddenly dispersed directly at a position about the width of a palm from my face.
I looked at Gui Xiangcheng in shock, only to see his face suddenly change drastically, and he strode to the side.
As soon as he landed on the other side of the paper boat, the houseboat burst into flames.
The ninth master turned his back to Gui Xiangcheng's side. Said coldly: "Hmph! When did you fall into the trap of sneaking up on someone in the back? ”
Gui Xiangcheng replied: "In order to establish a life and settle down, I can do whatever it takes!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, the burning paper boat had already floated to the center of the river. Start swimming against the current.
The speed with which Guixiangcheng left was astonishing.
I was puzzled: "Ninth Master, will he obediently hand over Liu Ruoxue?" ”
The Ninth Master said with a serious expression: "I said that he would not take the initiative to hand over people." Can you believe it? ”
I secretly tightened my heart and said, "I believe!" But I'm more convinced that you have a way to get him to hand him over. ”
The ninth master said: "Be careful that your fart is slapped on the horse's buttocks, are you curious, just now Gui Xiangcheng and I were just verbally tit-for-tat, but we didn't mean to do anything." ”
It was as if he had read through my mind before he said it.
I hummed, nodded and said, "Well, but I saw that Gui Xiangcheng had movements in his hands from the beginning, and Jiu Ye, your hands were not idle." I suspect you're fighting him in secret. ”
The Ninth Master smiled and said, "Wu Thirteen, it seems that you have worked hard and made progress during this time. Then I'll ask you again, do you know why the inside of his houseboat is so scarlet? ”
I scratched my brain, and I couldn't think of a reason, so I had to say to the ninth master that I didn't know.
The ninth master said: "The reason why he dares to secretly compete with me tonight is because there is a mystery in his houseboat, but if he wants to deal with me with this, it is still a small loss." ”
As we spoke, we left the Wujiang River and headed for the county seat.
I asked the ninth master if we would go back to the town now. Then you just have to wait three days.
Within three days, if he doesn't hand him over, we'll come back to him.
The ninth master put his hands behind his back and said, "Naturally, you can't wait for the three-day deadline!" There was a problem in this Wujiang River, and I didn't want to care about it. ”
"But that Gui Xiangcheng appeared in the Wujiang River, and dared to kidnap Liu Ruoxue, there must be a connection between the two, and I will help the Wujiang River God once in the past three days."
I couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't the man in Tsing Yi already say that there is no river god in the Wujiang River?" ”
The Ninth Master said: "It's not that there is no river god. It's that something is wrong with the river god. Now, who is the person who kidnapped Liu Ruoxue, I am already seventy percent sure in my heart, so I can help Wujiang River God by the way. ”
Although he said half a word, he did not tell him who the person he doubted was. But originally the ninth master only suspected two people, but now he is seventy percent sure. It's only two percent more.
I asked, "Ninth Master, what should we do now?" ”
The Ninth Master frowned and said, "I still need to prove one thing, if that thing is as I expected, then the person who kidnapped Liu Ruoxue should be able to hammer it." ”
Hearing this, I was immediately happy in my heart, but I was also confused, so I asked the ninth master: "What else do you need to prove?" ”
The ninth master said: "After dawn, I will take you to a place, and you will know when the time comes." ”
This time, there were still about five hours before dawn, so we went back to the county and found a random hostel to stay.
As soon as it was dawn, I drove away from the county seat with Jiuye and went to a place called Tianqiao Township in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River.
The distance between Tianqiao Township and our village road to the county seat is considerable, but Tianqiao Township is not far from our village.
The reason why this place is named Tianqiao is related to a natural bridge in the township.
From the county seat to the township of Tianqiao Township, you must pass through a mountain stone bridge less than a mile away from the entrance of the township.
The bridge was formed naturally and not artificially.
In fact, this "bridge" is that the two mountains are connected, and the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is empty, except for the top part.
Later, people just paved a road on it, which was passable, hence the name flyover.
The upper reaches of the Wujiang River pass under this large natural "stone bridge".
According to my grandfather, the big river outside our village also flows into the Wujiang River here.
After more than an hour, we arrived at the natural stone bridge.
Although I know this place, it is my first time here. Standing on the mountain and seeing the Wujiang River passing under the mountain, I really feel like I am standing on a bridge.
The Ninth Master seems to be familiar with this place. After getting out of the car, he took it to a sheep intestine path by the overpass.
It didn't take long for us to reach the halfway point of the mountain. Here you can see just under the natural stone bridge.
There is nothing special underneath the stone bridge, but it is indeed a naturally formed mountain stone bridge. The steep slopes on both sides of the stone bridge are also covered with some small trees.
I stared at the bottom of the stone bridge. In the middle of the bridge, I found a small piece of dark red hanging from it, and when I looked closely, I was sure it was a strip of red cloth.
The Ninth Master said with a serious expression: "There is really something wrong with this Tiansheng Bridge. ”
I can't help but wonder why the Ninth Master only glanced at this natural bridge and said that there was something wrong with this bridge.
"Ninth Master, what's wrong with this bridge?"
The Ninth Master pointed and said, "Hmph! Interesting, the things in Zhenjiang under this bridge were stolen by someone, and it is no wonder that something happened in the waters of the Wujiang River. So to speak. The person who kidnapped Liu Ruoxue must be him. ”
In some places, bridges are built to hang things under the bridge to Zhenjiang River, saying that it is to avoid evil things in the river.
But this bridge is made of nature. Do you hang things underneath too? The bottom of this bridge is so steep, who has the ability to hang something from Zhenjiang.
I asked, "Ninth Master, what was hanging up here before?" ”
The Ninth Master was silent for a while, and said, "Sixty years ago, someone hung an iron sword under this bridge. ”
After listening to the words of the Ninth Master, I couldn't help but wonder how difficult it would be for people sixty years ago to hang a sword under here.
And since it was hung up sixty years ago, after so many years, not to mention being stolen, it may have fallen into the river a long time ago.
Thinking of this, I said: "Ninth Master, it's been decades, could it be that the rope hanging the iron sword is broken, or that the iron sword is rusty and fell into the Wujiang River." ”
The Ninth Master said: "If this sword hadn't been taken away artificially, even if it had been hung at the bottom of that bridge for hundreds of years, it wouldn't have been broken." ”
I can't refute the words of the ninth master, after all, the little sword in my hand is still one of three automatic synthesizers, and such mysterious things will happen.
It is entirely possible that a sword at the bottom of the bridge can hang for more than a hundred years.
That day, after Jiu Ye saw the bridge, he directly asked me to drive him to the countryside, saying that he was going to meet someone.
