Chapter 35: Kidnapping

The truth is really as the professor said, Qi Lu was taken aback after reading it, and he handed the manuscript to Lao Wu with a gloomy face.

Lao Wu's face also changed greatly after reading it, and he muttered: "How is this possible!" ”

Jiang Wenhao said with emotion: "It seems that we are all blinded by the truth. ”

"Even so, we faced a formidable opponent." Qi Lu said calmly.

Lao Wu also agreed with Qi Lu's point of view, saying: "I'm worried that it will be even more difficult to deal with. ”

Qi Lu thought of another question, and he made his request to Jiang Wenhao: "Professor, can you show me the leg bone I gave you?" ”

Although Jiang Wenhao didn't know Qi Lu's intentions, he still went to the cultural relics storage room to take the bone and handed it to Qi Lu.

"This leg bone has been compared and tested, and it can be confirmed that it belongs to something in the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is a leg bone of a skeleton in the main coffin room."

But Qi Lu's interest was not there, he put this bone in front of his nose and sniffed it, and suddenly his eyes flashed.

"Something new?" Lao Wu asked.

Qi Lu smiled slightly, handed the bones to him and said, "It seems to smell a little gasoline." ”

"Really?" After smelling it, Lao Wu found that what Qi Lu said was right, there was a very faint smell of gasoline in his bones.

At this moment, Ding Xiaolan called Qi Lu, but after Qi Lu connected the phone, he heard a man's voice: "Mr. Qi, what are you busy with?" ”

"Yanshi, what did you do to Ding Xiaolan?" Qi Lu wanted to get angry, but then gave up again.

"What, Yanshi kidnapped Ding Xiaolan?" Lao Wu and Jiang Wenhao were both shocked. Especially Lao Wu, he was even more shocked. He thought that Yanshi would attack the professor, but he didn't expect his target to be Ding Xiaolan.

"This girl is safe at the moment, do you need me to ask her to talk to you?"

"No need." Qi Lu groaned and said, "If you have the ability to rush at me, why bother to embarrass a weak woman." ”

The purpose of the Yanshi was to obtain the ghoul resurrection technique, and he would not harm Ding Xiaolan until he learned the content of the forbidden spell. The reason why Qi Lu refused to talk to Ding Xiaolan was because he was afraid that he would disturb his mind after hearing her cry, so he would not be able to keep a cool head.

"The means are only the process, and the most important thing is the result. My patience is limited, do you want this girl to die because of your selfish thoughts? The Yanshi on the other end of the mobile phone did not follow Qi Lu's idea of speaking at all, but always held the initiative.

"What do you want to do before you let Ding Xiaolan go?" Qi Lu didn't want to talk nonsense either, lest he provoke himself.

"Happy. Tomorrow night at 9 o'clock will be exchanging hostages with me with information on the revival of the ghouls. ”

"Where do you trade?"

After Yanshi finished saying an address, he terminated the call, listening to the cold and mechanical "beep" sound on the mobile phone, Qi Lu felt a slight pain in his heart.

"What do we do now?" Jiang Wenhao asked urgently, his face was rarely nervous.

Qi Lu said: "Professor, in order to save Ding Xiaolan, please give me the photo with the words of the Tiger Head Fangzun." ”

"No problem." Jiang Wenhao came to the desk and squatted down and opened the locked drawer with the key, but there were only materials and no photos inside.

Just when Qi Lu was surprised, Jiang Wenhao groped with his hand on the inner wall of the drawer, only to hear a "pop", and a dark grid popped up in the drawer, and the professor handed over the photo hidden inside to Qi Lu.

It turned out that it was hidden in such a secret place, no wonder Director Li, who was controlled by Yanshi, couldn't find these photos. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qi Lu wouldn't have dared to guarantee that he would have found these photos easily.

Jiang Wenhao asked again: "Do you want to notify Xiao Liu?" ”

Qi Lu hurriedly shook his head and refused, he didn't want Liu Chenfei to get involved, an enemy like Yanshi was not a character that the police could deal with.

Lao Wu said: "With the photos, we should discuss tomorrow's countermeasures, but we can't be led by the nose by the Yanshi." ”

Qi Lu nodded in agreement, and the three of them sat at the table to discuss. In the end, Qi Lu synthesized the proposal of Professor Wu and put forward a plan.

After listening to Qi Lu's statement, Lao Wu and Jiang Wenhao both nodded in agreement and felt that this method was safe.

But Qi Lu immediately argued with Lao Wu, because Lao Wu insisted on taking the professor to see Yanshi tomorrow night, while Qi Lu resolutely opposed the professor's danger.

Jiang Wenhao saw that the two were arguing about this matter, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said gently: "Xiao Wu is right, I must go with you tomorrow." ”

"Professor, how can this work! Yanshi is a ruthless person, and if you fight him, any tiny spell will hurt you. Qi Lu was worried.

"The most terrible thing about Yanshi is that he uses his wisdom in the evil path. Until things are clear, another possibility cannot be ruled out. That is, his kidnapping of Ding Xiaolan is just a pretense, and the real purpose is to kidnap me in turn when you rescue Xiao Ding, so that I can learn the specific content of the ghoul resurrection technique from my mouth. ”

Qi Lu was shocked when he heard this, the professor knew the content of the forbidden spell, and with the temperament of the Yan Master, who could guarantee that he would not take this way to obtain the secret of the ghoul resurrection technique, so he no longer objected to Jiang Wenhao going on an adventure with him.

And so it was settled.

At seven o'clock in the evening of the next day, Qi Lu and the three of them set off to the top of the back mountain of Ding Xiaolan's house, which was the place where Yanshi and him agreed to meet.

Qi Lu and Lao Wu walked while checking the movements on both sides of the road to prevent the Yanshi from setting traps or ambushes in advance.

Fortunately, there were no twists and turns along the way, and the three of them finally reached the top of the mountain.

The top of the hill is very flat, overgrown with knee-high wild grass, and occasionally there are rocks hidden in it, and there is a cypress in the north corner that cannot be hugged with both hands in the sky, which looks like a huge parasol from a distance.

There were no stars in the night sky, and there was no moon in sight, Qi Lu smelled a strong smell of dampness wafting in the air, and it seemed that a thunderstorm was brewing tonight.

Old Wu winked at Qi Lu, and then ran quickly towards the old tree, ready to jump onto the tree right. This allows him to be condescending, easy to observe his surroundings, and also to get a sneak peek into the enemy's movements.

But Qi Lu stopped Lao Wu's actions. Although this idea is good, but there are unforeseen circumstances, if you wait for the heavy rain to come, it is a dangerous thing to hide in a tree, but I am afraid that before the Yanshi people arrive, Lao Wu may be knocked down by thunder and lightning.

Since this idea didn't work, Lao Wu looked at every inch of land here, even every rock that was exposed to the surface.

The soil under the turf is very soft, not to mention human tracks, not even animal tracks, which shows that the Yanshi has not yet come.

Lao Wu put his mind at ease and said, "It seems that Yanshi has not yet arrived." ”

Qi Lu said with a gloomy face: "I don't think so, if he flew over, there would be no footprints on the ground at all." ”

"In that case, we have to prepare first." Lao Wu untied the sack he brought, sprinkled the white powder inside into the grass regularly, and began to draw a talisman array.

This is a magic circle that prohibits the invasion of evil spirits, Jiang Wenhao doesn't know spells after all, once he fights with Yanshi, the professor stays in the magic circle, at least his life can be saved.

"Don't mess around!"

Hearing this cold voice, everyone was startled, and when they looked towards the place where the voice came from, they saw Yanshi jumping out of the canopy of the cypress tree!

Qi Lu secretly regretted that he thought he had come early enough, but he didn't expect Yanshi to reach the top of the mountain before him.

Lao Wu was shocked again, if he didn't listen to Qi Lu's persuasion just now and forcibly jumped onto the big tree, he was afraid that before anyone went up, Yanshi would be able to give him a fatal blow when he was unprepared.

It was darker, revealing a ghostly color. Lao Wu hurriedly asked the professor to stand in the magic circle he had hastily drawn, while he and Qi Lu stood side by side, ready to deal with sudden dangers at any time.

The Yanshi stood far away from them, and this position was safe from that point of view, and it was difficult for the enemy to have a chance to sneak attack.

"Mr. Qi, did you bring something?"

"Brought." Qi Lu took out a bag from his arms, took out the photo from it, raised it and said, "Ding Xiaolan? ”

Yanshi also stretched out his right hand and raised it, and Qi Lu saw Ding Xiaolan walking out from behind the tree. Her eyes were glazed over, and her face was devoid of any color.

Qi Lu knew that she had been controlled by Yanshi, so he had to suppress the unhappiness in his heart and said: "One hand over people, the other hand over photos." ”

A strange smile appeared on Yanshi's lips, and he glanced at Ding Xiaolan, who suddenly walked towards Qi Lu like a puppet.

"Can you give me something?"

"Ding Xiaolan is still under your control, how can I rest assured that I will hand over things to you." Qi Lu was unmoved.

"Mr. Qi really spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Qi Lu sneered and said, "A person like you is also worthy of being called a gentleman?" ”

"I don't have time to argue with you. As soon as the things are in hand, the girl is immediately free. Seeing that Qi Lu still had doubts in his eyes, Yanshi replied coldly: "Don't bargain with me, you have no choice." ”

Qi Lu gritted his teeth and threw the information bag to Yanshi. Yanshi reached out to catch it, took out the photo to check the authenticity.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to fool you with a fake."

"Mr. Qi is really an understanding person." Although he had only seen a few photos, the Yanshi knew from the content of these clips that this was the real ghoul resurrection.

He couldn't help but get excited, and began to recite the incantations in his mouth.

At the same time, Ding Xiaolan also regained her senses. She didn't seem to wake up from her fear, her weak body had fallen into Qi Lu's arms, and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

Yanshi really didn't break his promise, and Qi Lu also let go of the big stone in his heart. But now is not the time for children to grow up, he hurriedly beckoned Lao Wu to bring Ding Xiaolan to the magic circle and stand with Jiang Wenhao.

Yan Shi, who was reciting the incantation, suddenly stopped chanting the incantation, and his face became gloomy, because he found that Qi Lu was looking at him coldly, and he had no intention of leaving.

"Mr. Qi, do you want to have a duel with me?"

As soon as the words fell, Yan Shi was surprised to see that the photo in his hand suddenly burst into green smoke, followed by flames.

"Bastard, you dare to play yin for me!" In the midst of the curse, the Yanshi quickly put the index finger of his right hand to his lips and began to recite the incantation in his mouth.

The true qi suddenly condensed, conjuring into a water dragon in the air, and swooping straight into the burning flames. But it was too late, and all that was extinguished was a pile of ashes scattered in the wind.

Qi Lu was also stunned, this was not the result he expected. He didn't leave, but he was worried that if they withdrew first, the Yanshi would take the opportunity to sneak attack, and for safety reasons, he wanted to wait for the Yanshi to leave first.

Why do photos catch fire and burn for no apparent reason? In the flash of light, Qi Lu suddenly understood that it must be the person in the underworld who was preventing the Yanshi from obtaining the ghoul resurrection technique.
