Chapter 5 One Separate and Two Wide There is a hole in the Pavilion of the Dead
The two searched for a morning without success, the craftsman could not find it, the tomb of King Wu had no way down, and even the shadow of the little flying warbler could not be inquired, at noon, the hungry two people picked a tavern, who knew that they had just entered, but they heard such words...
"Do you know that Cao Cao has a new lieutenant?"
"Hey! It must be which son's brother flattered a few words that made the old dizzy Cao Cao happy."
"Brother Xian's words are wrong, then Cao Cao is a person who cherishes talents, even if he is old, he will not be so confused."
"But this Cao Cao has always been cunning, I have a brother in the military camp who said that the General Yu beside him disappeared recently, who knows if he offended Cao Cao and was killed."
"That's it, we don't talk about the affairs of the soldiers, in this troubled world, we can have a good pot with our brothers, this is a pleasure, come!"
Qiao Er and Wang Tiehammer sat on the table next to them and eavesdropped, the two of you look at me, I look at you, Wang Tiehammer snorted and laughed.
"Young Master Qiao, please"
"Hahahaha.."
After the two drank a few cups, Wang Tiehammer sighed and said:
"I do admire the prime minister, but this companion is like a tiger, you and I used to be free people, but now we are on a rope"
"Wang Iron Hammer" Qiao Erliang suddenly had a solemn expression,
"Let's go."
Wang Tiehammer was stunned for a moment, and the wine bowl that had just been halfway raised tilted, and splashed the wine in the bowl on Qiao Erliang's face.
"I fucking want to leave early, you're a colonel, I'm a big guy who follows you and lose face, right? You don't care about Xiao Feiying, do you want to wait for the prime minister to send you another family affair! After saying this, Wang Tiezhu also felt that he had said too much, he knew that Qiao Er didn't let him follow, maybe he could still live happily, but his brotherhood with Qiao Erliang made Qiao Erliang drive him away with such a breezy appearance, he glanced at Qiao Er, Qiao Er bowed his head and didn't say anything, and he didn't talk to him as usual, as if he didn't exist. This is no different from Qiao Er slapping him, so angry that he flipped the table and strode out of the tavern.
After eating a glass of wine, Qiao Er didn't know what time it was, so he took out some broken silver and threw it on the table, and when he was about to leave, a touch of green floated in front of the door.
"Ying'er?" Qiao Erliang tried to open his eyes wide and looked around, and he was the only one left in the tavern. He hurried out the door to chase after the woman in green.
The streets were empty, and it turned out to be night. It's strange that there isn't even a single light in this huge town. The weather in November, but the wind is biting like a cold winter wax moon, even if you drink wine, you can't help but shiver forward.
Where did this damn Wang Tiehammer go, this wind is strangely cold, this fat man is yang and vigorous, and he can even suppress a lonely ghost with a guy on weekdays, but when they came out today, the two didn't think about going down, so they naturally came out empty-handed.
"Don't be entangled" Qiao Erliang sobered up instantly, thinking that if he didn't provoke him, he wouldn't be so angry... Just as he was thinking, there were a few paper lamps not far away, and the closer he seemed to go, the more he could hear a voice, as if someone was talking, the sound of squirming.
But when he walked up, Qiao Erliang saw an old man in a thin shirt, holding a carving knife in his hand, carving the spokes of a car. The sound he heard seemed to have come from the old man.
This is really a coincidence, and I am worried that I can't find a craftsman. Qiao Erliang thought to himself. But this shop appeared out of thin air on this street, and this old man must not be a good man. With his alone, it's better to go first.
But the old man was not surprised at the slightest by Qiao Erliang's arrival, as if he was waiting for him.
"This son, please stay"
"What's the matter with the old man" Qiao Er's wine woke up suddenly, the room was as cold as an ice cellar, white candles were lit around the store, and the aroma in the house was compelling. There are many accessories on display on the south side, which should be carried with you, and the north side is dark and there are no candles, so you can't see anything. Qiao Erliang approached those strange ornaments and saw that there were beads on the cabinet that Wang Tiehammer was wearing!
"Before the evening, a prince came and said that he wanted to order a pair of the most solid wheels, and he said that he did not have enough silver, so he took this bracelet as collateral, and gave me fifty taels of gold in an hour to change the wheels, but it was already three watches, but the person was gone."
"Do you know which way he's going?" That bracelet is the thing that protects the king's hammer! How could he give it to someone so easily?! Qiao Erliang took a step forward, I don't know if he drank too much wine, and he couldn't even see what this old man looked like.
The old man blew the powder on the wheel in his hand, "Childe, although I am an old bone, I will not do such a useless thing, this blood bone spokes can be the same as the spokes of the chariot you were riding in at that time?" ”
I saw the old man put more than half of the blood and bones in his hand on the table, and the finely carved dragon scales and auspicious clouds loomed, subtle and subtle.
"Who are you" Qiao Er realized that something was wrong, and pulled out the short sword he was wearing, pointing at the old man.
"Don't panic, my ancestors have repaired the mausoleum for the emperor for generations, you wheel, I'm afraid you went to Hebi?"
"Nonsense! Tomb repairers have always been buried in the mausoleum, and the dignitaries and nobles are still like this, not to mention the emperor, how can you live until now? "This old man must not be a good stubble.
"And listen to me, how can this tomb builder bury the soil, the general tomb will have all kinds of secret passages to let the tomb builder hide for a few days, and wait for the tomb to leave, naturally so as not to die" The old man touched his beard and smiled: "The son is not an idle person, he can steal this Jiuxiang chariot"
"Mr. said and laughed, what kind of nine chariots is this, the prime minister told the little ones to make a good wheel! Doesn't you have to please him, take a few more copper plates" Qiao Er didn't plan to ask for wheels, he just wanted to know where Wang Tiehammer went,
The old man picked up Wang Tiehammer's bracelet and rubbed it in his hand, and said to Qiao Er: "Where is your brother? There is a lot of bad luck. He saw that Qiao Erliang heard that he was leaving, and hurriedly said, "But... Take this in exchange," the old man said, pointing to Qiao Erliang's chest.
Qiao Erliang subconsciously stepped back, touching the golden talisman was a personal thing, even Wang Tiehammer had not seen it carefully, how did he know? No, we need to get out of here! He paid no attention to the old man, and hurried out of the door, and the old man did not chase him, but still sat there and watched him quietly.
"Something!"
A line of soft white silk fell from Qiao Erliang's head, wrapping around his neck to force him to look up, this look up can make Qiao Erliang smart, the plaque of the store actually said "Death Pavilion" It turned out that he was entering the longevity store! Although he has dealt with dead people a lot, this white silk grosgrain is more uncomfortable than any old carrion, after all, he is still panting, isn't he?
When I opened the white silk and looked into the store, I found that the old man was missing. He looked back at the bleak street, and rushed back in with a twist of his heart.
It may be because the wine is all awake, but this shop is not the same as when I first entered, all kinds of coffins are lined up, filling half of the entire space of the shop, and there is a narrow corridor in which the old man has just sat in the block.
Qiao Erliang walked straight in, the sound of rustling that he had heard on the street before became more and more intense, and there was a dim light in the front hall, but this narrow corridor was like an underground road, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. It's very slippery, like walking into a mud pool. He touched the cold walls around him, and when he touched them, he found that the wall was actually warm, and then he touched it carefully, and it turned out to be a human face!
Qiao Erliang screamed out, leaned against the wall, who knew that his feet slipped, and he touched a warm face in a hurry, only to hear a click, and actually knocked open a door.
The blinding glare of light made him unable to open his eyes, but the voices reached his ears first.
The singing of women, the laughter of men, the jingling of wine glasses, the rattling of bamboo pianos and stone chimes, he touched his surroundings, it was no longer a dark and damp corridor, and there seemed to be people walking around, accompanied by bursts of suffocating incense.
"Oops~"
Qiao Erliang opened his eyes with this delicate exclamation, and there was a piece of white flowers, and he was holding a girl's ankle in his hand. The girl was wearing a red gauze skirt, and the aroma on the skirt caused Qiao Er to cough for a while.
The woman hurriedly withdrew her foot, "Guest officer, don't worry, you have drunk so much, why don't you let the slave accompany you to have a few drinks" The woman began to wander along Qiao Er's chest with her hand, Qiao Er had been in contact with a woman in Xiaofeiying on weekdays, and she had not held her hand a few times, this teasing of scratching her head and posing was naturally unbearable, he quickly took out a dagger from his waist and pointed at the woman:
"Take it away"
"Humph! It's all come to this kind of place, what are you pretending to be serious" The woman took a few steps back and left unhappily. Qiao Erliang looked at the place fixedly, the sorghum expanded the sky, and the beams and pillars were hung around the silk Baoluo tent, and the tent was embroidered with silver thread begonia flowers, which turned out to be a green building.
But when Qiao Er and Liang got up and wanted to leave, they found that the door when they came no longer led to the shroud shop, and it was still a scene of high-ranking officials and nobles having fun.
"Snow Warbler! Where's my little snowwarbler! A drunken man slapped his hand on Qiao Erliang's back.
"Snow Warblers?" Qiao Erliang immediately thought of the little flying warbler, the little flying warbler's birthday was in Layue, I remember that she said that she liked snow the most, and it was also snowing on her birthday. He had a sense of foreboding in his heart, this snow warbler must not be a little flying warbler.
"Snow Warbler! You don't know the snow warbler, I heard that the boss trained this beautiful girl for many years before releasing it, but the snow warbler is different from those cheap goods, that little face that can be broken by blowing up the bullet tsk..."
Who is this snow warbler? Qiao Erliang was suspicious in his heart, shuttling between the smell of wine and aroma, thinking that he must not see that familiar face.
Qiao Erliang walked around, and suddenly someone grabbed his feet. King Hammer?! Sure enough, I still saw an acquaintance, and I saw that the fat man was drunk and fell under a pillar, muttering words he didn't understand.
"Fatty, how did you get here! Do you see the little warbler? ”
"Warbler. . . Snow Warbler... Flying Warbler.. Little Flying Warbler." Before he could finish speaking, he fell asleep under the pillar. Qiao Er checked Wang Tiehammer again, except for his bracelet was missing, the rest were there, it seems that this guy was also tricked in by the boss.
Suddenly, everyone exclaimed, it turned out that the pavilion on the second floor was full of dancing girls, and the charming dancing posture was matched with ecstatic strings, which made everyone in an uproar again, and suddenly someone shouted
"Girl Snowwarbler!"
Qiao Erliang also followed the crowd to look, sure enough, the snow warbler was graceful, wearing a red gauze skirt, and a piece of red yarn was covered on her face, and the four corners of the red gauze were adorned with four silver bells, she stood in the center of the dancer, green and hesitant, and seemed out of place with the surroundings, the surrounding dancers were swaying, dancing with melodious bells, and snow-white limbs looming. How can such beauties be unforgettable.
After the dance was finished, a long, thin, and delicate-looking man walked out from behind the group of girls, looking like a steward, and the man cleared his throat and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the big day of our Xueying girl, please take out the most rare treasure on your body to exchange, which one Xueying girl picks, she will marry with whom"
Qiao Erliang squeezed to the front of the crowd and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the same as his own conjecture, isn't this snow warbler a little flying warbler?!!
"Second Brother Qiao!" The snow warbler in the mouth of this crowd saw Qiao Erliang in the crowd, and hurriedly lifted the red veil on her head, and the person in charge hurriedly stopped her. Seeing this, Qiao Erliang jumped up on the pillar and went straight to the attic on the second floor, only to hear the man snap his fingers, and many house slaves jumped out of all directions, stopping Qiao Erliang from mid-air.
"Let her go!" Qiao Erliang shouted at the man.
"This guest officer, I want to beg our Snow Warbler girl's heart to come hard, you have a treasure to exchange with me, I think this thing around your neck is a rare thing."
"You don't talk nonsense" Qiao Er and the others saw that the people around them were getting closer and closer, and they made a quick move, and they instantly fought with the group of house slaves. On weekdays, it is still effortless to fight with those stinky little hairy thieves who know how to do three-legged cat kung fu, but this well-trained house slave makes Qiao Erliang a little overwhelmed.
In less than half a pillar of incense, Qiao Erliang was beaten by this group of house slaves, and his whole body was scattered, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know who he was beaten, but he felt that he didn't know who helped him, and the figure was fighting with those people. Qiao Er fell to the ground and saw the satin black boots embroidered with a black panther again.
"Let's go!" The powerful hand grabbed Qiao Er and put him on his shoulder.
