Chapter 425: Progress

Xiao saw Chu take Chu to eat with Chu Qi.

The shopkeeper greeted him warmly as he did yesterday: "Guest officer, what are you eating?" ”

Xiao Jianchu said: "It's the same as yesterday." He paused slightly, "I just don't know, your boss, do you still give away dishes today?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "I'll help you ask?" ”

"No, you don't." Xiao Jianchu said, "It's just a joke." After speaking, Xiao saw Chu Chongchu Chuqi give a look.

On the seventh day of the first month, he was as good as a stream, and took out a piece of broken silver,

The shopkeeper rejoiced next.

Xiao Jianchu said: "How long has your inn been open?" ”

The shopkeeper took the money and answered the question very positively: "It's been open for seven or eight years."

"You've been here to help?"

"No, I came here two years ago, and the shopkeeper who helped here came home, and the boss recruited me."

Xiao Jianchu smiled and said quietly: "Your boss can look at people, you are a clever and capable person." ”

"Hey, hey!" The shopkeeper smiled, "Our boss treats people very well." ”

"Really?"

"yes!" The shopkeeper rolled up his sleeves and was about to tell Xiao Jianchu about their boss's deeds.

"Ryoko." At that moment, the innkeeper came over and said, "Go and serve the food to the guests." ”

"Yes......" The shopkeeper had no choice but to put away his own gushing and hurry down.

Xiao Jianchu looked at the boss.

The boss looked back at Xiao Jianchu.

…………

…………

Not to mention the intersecting eyes between Xiao Jianchu and the boss, it is said that on Gao Jingchuan's side, after he and Xiao Shulun discovered the secret of the city map, the two acted separately.

Gao Jingchuan went to catch that Meng catcher! Xiao Shulun took the map of the city to find the eighth day of the first month.

It just so happened that the eighth year of junior high changed shifts with other shadow guards and stayed in the inn.

When Xiao Shulun rushed over with the map of the city, he happened to meet the eighth day of the first month.

"Third son?!"

"Hurry up." Xiao Shulun didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "Look at your organs." ”

Chu Ba nodded, and followed Xiao Shulun into the room.

The two closed the room, and Xiao Shulun moved the table and spread out the map of the city.

"This is ......" Chu Hachi saw the cinnabar mark on it, "This is the six-pointed star!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Shulun said, "Is there anything to say about this?" ”

Chu Ba said slowly: "The six-pointed star represents reincarnation!" ”

"Reincarnation?"

"Yes!" The first eight paths, "The six-pointed star is the array of reincarnation." ”

Xiao Shulun said: "Then their houses are all inclined to the east, is there any explanation?" ”

"Facing east, the six-pointed star ......" Chuba's eyes lit up, "I know!" ”

"Know what?"

"The Altar!" "We may be able to find their altar!" ”

'…………

…………

Xiao Shulun analyzed the map of the city with Chu Ba.

At this time, Gao Jingchuan walked into the county office alone.

Coincidentally, Zhao Qingyi was going out at this time, and she walked face-to-face with Gao Jingchuan.

"Lord Wang, why did you come by yourself?" Zhao Qingyi asked.

"Something." Gao Jingchuan paused slightly and asked, "What are you ......?"

"Go see Siwan." Zhao Qingyi said.

"Be careful." Gao Jingchuan advised.

"So is the prince." Zhao Qingyi's expression was gentle, and he saluted Gao Jingchuan, "Farewell."

"Walk slowly." Gao Jingchuan stood still, looked at the direction Zhao Qingyi left, and swept the figure of the third junior high.

With the shadow guard following, Zhao Qingyi will not be in danger.

Gao Jingchuan turned his head and looked at the county office.

"Lord Wang! Are you here? "The officials of the county government all know the two "big officials" from the capital, especially Gao Jingchuan, who is a dignified prince.

"Is there anything you have to say?" Yacha asked diligently.

"Where's Meng Zhutou?" Gao Jingchuan asked.

"Meng Zhutou?" The Yacha said, "Meng Zhutou asked for leave today." ”

"Where did he go?"

Yacha said: "It seems to say that if there is something at home, I will ask for half a day off first." ”

Gao Jingchuan frowned slightly, turned around and left.

"My lord! You, where do you go? "Yacha wants to help.

Gao Jingchuan didn't answer him, and went directly to Meng Zhutou's house.

No one!

That Meng Zhutou is gone.

Gao Jingchuan frowned.

They shouldn't have alarmed the talent, how could this Meng Zhutou leave?! Was it simply not at home, or did it just run away?

…………

…………

Gao Jingchuan's side was not very smooth, and no one could be found, but the third prince was much smoother here.

On the eighth day of the first month, according to the east, the six-pointed star, after adding some knowledge of feng shui organs that the three sons could not understand, after calculating on the map, pointed to a place, his eyes lit up, and said, "Here!" This is it! ”

"The altar?" The third prince looked at the place, which was on the west side of Langzhou City, and there were almost no people in sight, only one house, scattered and pestle.

"This is it!" Hatsuhachi nodded heavily.

"So what are you waiting for?" Xiao Shulun put away the map in the city, "Let's go!" ”

"Good!"

Chu Ba and Xiao Shulun hurried to the remote hut.

When I was on the map, I knew that this house was not big, but I didn't expect it to be smaller than I imagined.

The courtyard gate is very short, and those who are tall, such as the third prince and the eighth junior high, if they want to enter the door, they have to keep their heads down.

"The gate of this courtyard ...... It's uncomfortable to watch. Hachihachi muttered.

It's about a lot of high-level households, even ordinary people's homes, they are willing to make their doors brighter, but this house, people feel unspeakably depressed, it is estimated that those thirsty pedestrians, when passing by this house, are reluctant to go in to beg for water to drink.

"Anyway, this is it...... right" The third prince stood in front of the small door and took a deep breath.

They searched for so long, and finally found it, and the emperor finally lived up to his wishes.

"Third son, I'll go in first." Hachichi said, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

There was no movement inside.

"Anyone?" The eighth day of the first month continued to knock.

Still no sound at all.

Chu Ba held his breath and knocked tentatively.

There was still a dead silence in response.

Chu Ba looked at Xiao Shulun: "There is no one inside." ”

"Find a way to get in." Xiao Shulun said, began to look at the surrounding eaves, and turned over directly, which was also good.

"No, you don't." Chu Hachi said, "Third son, you wait a minute. ”

After saying that, he took out something similar to a dagger, which was thinner than a normal dagger and looked more dexterous.

"Wait for me for a moment." After the eighth day finished speaking, he inserted the "dagger" in his hand into the crack of the door, and saw the flexible rotation in his hand.

After a while, the cramped courtyard gate was loosened.

"Alright." Chu Hachi said and put the "dagger" back.

He pushed open the courtyard door.

Xiao Shulun gave him a thumbs up and walked in with the eighth year of junior high school.

This door is indeed short, and when the two of them enter, they can only press their heads, not only that, but the porch of this house is also long, and after entering, it follows like a cave.

Xiao Shulun walked through the porch with the eighth year of junior high school, and finally walked into the courtyard.

The palm-sized courtyard is as small as it is, with only two rooms.

Xiao Shulun glanced at Chu Ba: "I'll go over there, you go over there." Xiao Shulun pointed to the two rooms.

One room per person.

"Okay." Chu Ba nodded and pushed away the one on the east side, and Xiao Shulun pushed away the one on the west side.

"This is ......" Xiao Shulun's eyes widened, and he was a little speechless in surprise.

"I saw that there was nothing in the house, only a dense collection of strange symbols, drawing a room full of them, whether it was on the ground, or on the four walls, or even on the roof, there was not a single ground without such symbols.

The worst on the ground! The symbol jumped into his eyes, twisting a little.

Xiao Shulun is dizzy and disgusting when he watches!

He hurried out of the room.

At this time, the third junior also happened to come out of the next room, and saw Xiao Shulun's face slightly pale.

"Third son, are you alright?"

"It's fine." Xiao Shulun swallowed hard, suppressing the dizziness and nausea.

"It's all weird symbols, where are you?" Xiao Shulun asked.

"I have only an empty altar here."

"Empty altar?"

Xiao Shulun walked over to take a look, and saw that there were no messy symbols in the house inspected by the eighth day of the first month, and there was something similar to a grinding plate in the middle of the room, which was hollow in the middle, which made people feel that there should be something more.

"Three sons!" Chu Ha hurriedly walked over.

He had just looked at the room that Xiao Shulun had inspected earlier, and now he hurriedly walked out, and his expression was not very good.

"Third son, you didn't keep staring at those symbols just now, did you?" Chu Ba hurriedly asked.

"Nope." Xiao Shulun said, "I watched it for a while, and I felt dizzy and nauseous, so I hurried out." ”

"That's good, that's good......"

"What's wrong? Xiao Shulun asked.

Hachi explained: "Those things in the west room can make people go crazy after looking at them for a long time. ”

"Really?!" Xiao Shulun felt that it was a bit exaggerated, it was just some strange symbols, which could also make people go crazy.

"It's true, those things, which look like symbols, are actually alive." The eighth year of the first month said.

"Alive?" The third son got goosebumps all over his body.

Chu Ba took out a pill and stuffed it to Xiao Shulun: "You take this medicine and come with me." ”

Xiao Shulun didn't know why, but he still took the pill according to what he said in the eighth month.

Chu Ba took Xiao Shulun and walked into the rune-filled room in the west again.

About because of taking the medicine, Xiao Shulun was not as dizzy and nauseous as before.

"Third son, look at it." Hachi said, taking out a fire fold from his body, and then approached the wall beside him.

Suddenly, where the fire fold touched, the runes slowly dispersed...... Like an earthworm, it slowly dispersed.

The third prince rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

You can't go wrong! It's scattered! It's slow, it's slow! But it's really spreading.

"How can these runes move?!" Xiao Shulun was surprised.

"This isn't a Gu talisman." After the eighth day of the first month finished speaking, he carefully put away the fire fold, "The matter is too serious, I must report to the emperor!" ”

"What's a serious deal?" Xiao Shulun asked.

"Stuff from this place!" Chu Ba's face was stiff, "You can destroy a Langzhou!" ”

"What?!"

Xiao Shulun hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on!?" ”

Let's go out and talk first. "The eighth path of the first month.

"Okay." Xiao Shulun followed the eighth junior high school to the courtyard, everything here was too cramped, even in the courtyard, the people were a little out of breath.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Shulun asked.

Chu Ba took a deep breath and explained: "Third Prince, the runes in this room you are looking at are actually Gu worms, and this kind of Gu worm is called Cursed Gu ...... This kind of Gu worm is very difficult to raise, and these Gu worms in the house, only one is needed, and it is enough to destroy the family! ”

The third prince heard it in a fog: "You can talk about it specifically." ”

"Let's put it this way, these Gu worms are comparable to natural disasters!" Chu Ba said, "It's good that they are entrenched here, if they climb out of this room and climb into Langzhou, then the entire Langzhou can become a no-man's city overnight!" ”

"No Man's City?!"

"Yes!" Chu Ba said, "This kind of Gu worm is called a cursed Gu because everywhere it goes, it's a curse!" This kind of thing is alive, it just releases some smell, it is easy to make people go crazy, it is the most terrible when it is dead, no one dares to kill him! ”

The third year of junior high school: "Is it more terrible to die?" ”

"Yes!" Chu Ba said, "When he kills a cursed Gu worm, he will release a poison because of his pain, and when the time comes, there will be no grass in a radius of ten miles." ”

"Burn them to death?" Xiao Shulun asked.

Chu Hachi shook his head: "Even if it is burned to ashes, it is also highly toxic powder!" There are so many cursed Gus, if you don't want to find a way to settle them, the entire Langzhou will be in danger! ”

"So, this curse is so domineering, we have nothing to do?"

"Not really." Chu Hachi said, "This thing, if it dies naturally, then it's fine." ”

"Huh?" The third son's head is crooked, and there is still this statement?

Chu Ba continued to explain: "Heaven and earth are constant, these cursed Gu temperaments are actually very mild, their lifespan is only three years, and the toxins in their bodies will disappear little by little as their lifespan increases. ”

"In other words......" Xiao Shulun said, "Separate this room of cursed Gu, and wait for them to die naturally, and the matter will be settled?" ”

"And most importantly!" Chu Badao, "Third Prince, have you ever seen a snake dancer on the street?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Cursed Gu has a similarity to a snake, and is sensitive to music!"

Xiao Shulun was suddenly taken aback: "Gu cultivator!" ”

If this Gu cultivator plays the music that the cursed Gu can't bear, these cursed Gu will turn into uncontrollable gunpowder!

"Where's that room!" Xiao Shulun pointed to the room to the east.

"That's their altar!" Hachi said, "That's an altar, yes, but there's one thing missing from it." ”

"What's missing?"

"I don't know." Chu Ba said, "Now, what matters is the Cursed Gu. I must report to the Emperor! ”

"There you go." Xiao Shulun said, "It's about Langzhou, and I really want the emperor to make up his mind." ”

Chu Hachi nodded heavily, turned around and left.

Xiao Shulun turned his head to look at the two rooms, his brows furrowed.

The house on the west side, he didn't want to go again, thinking of the cursed Gu, the third prince only got goosebumps.

Xiao Shulun walked into the east room again.

I don't know, I missed any clues just now.
