Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 22: The Secret of the Ancient Sewers (2)
The man I subdued in the dark hole of the sewer claimed that it wasn't his Gu, but the Ghost Grass Woman!
"What? Gu under the ghost grass woman? ”
When I heard this answer, my first reaction in my heart was that he deceived me, so I still said angrily, "If you don't believe it again, believe it or not, I'll let you go to Hades now!" ”
"Good man! I really didn't lie to you! My little life is still pinched in your hands, how dare I lie to you! When the man saw that I didn't believe me, he immediately reassured me first.
Then he said, "Yesterday! Just yesterday, when you just arrived in Guzhai, when you observed the topography and environment here, didn't you follow three old women, and those three old women are ghost grass women. ”
I was stunned when I landed, it was really a slap in the face, and it suddenly dawned on me, no wonder I always thought that those three old women were weird, it turned out to be a ghost grass woman.
At that time, the leader also gave the fat man a black smell and patted him on the shoulder.
The man then said with difficulty, "When...... At that time, that ghost grass woman patted your fat brother, and she was ...... In the next Gu, if your brother also shoots her back immediately, then Gu is ...... It's lifted. ”
As soon as I heard this, I was even more puzzled, thinking to myself, "Damn! was followed by this king and eight lambs, and we didn't know it, it seems that this person still has business ability. ”
But the hateful thing is that he actually knows how to solve the Gu, so why didn't he come out to remind him at that time, it was not a good thing.
But after thinking about it again, he actually knew Gu so well, then there must be other ways to solve it, why don't I ask him for a solution?
Thinking of this, I immediately let go of him and reluctantly said, "Dude! Offended! If it's convenient, tell me how to solve this Gu now. ”
The man let out a long sigh of relief and said, "This is not the place to talk, I will tell you when I go out!" As long as you are willing to cooperate with me. ”
"Cooperate with what? How to cooperate? I asked
The man replied, "You have to save my life first." At this point, he suddenly stopped, looked around, and then said gloomy, "Here...... There seem to be vampires here! ”
What the? Bloodsucker!
I was startled, and suddenly I realized what I had just heard in the sewers, and remembered that I had just caught a strange fluffy thing and had been bitten by it.
Not only did he look at the wound, but the man also saw it and said, "What? Have you been bitten by it? ”
I didn't respond to him, I just said, "What a vampire, the Eight Achievements are just some kind of little beast living in the underground." ”
When the man saw that I didn't believe me, he said, "Really! I've heard here that people have always disappeared in their village, and the missing women are all women, I guess they were captured by vampires, and vampires like women to be blood. ”
Hearing him say this, I remembered that when I was eating a long table banquet, I heard someone talking about similar things in a few episodes, but it was all about wine, and I didn't hear the ins and outs of a word.
I said, "Traffickers are everywhere!" I guess it's kidnapping! ”
Although I didn't understand what this place was or what it was for, I was now so bent on saving the fat man, so I left other irrelevant things behind and pulled him along, "Go!" Go up now. With that, he flashed his flashlight and walked towards the hole where I had just rolled down.
But before I could take a step, the man shook my hand away and hurriedly said, "I can't go, I'm looking for something, it's very important to me." ”
Say it! He took out an iron box from a bag he was carrying, took out a business card from it and handed it to me, "Tell me a lot!" ”
I took a look, it was in English and Chinese, and I saw that it was written on the head of the "Password Private Detective Agency", name: Zhao Huasheng, and the address was in Chinatown, USA.
After reading the business card, I looked at him again and asked suspiciously, "Chinese-American?" ”
Zhao Huasheng responded, "Fortunately, if there is a business need in the future, we can cooperate, this day and a half I found that your detective level is also very high, but I have a question I don't understand, please tell you!" ”
I couldn't help but scold in my heart, you are a banana man who eats inside and out, isn't it bad for us in the People's Republic of China?
Is it fucking the United States of America that good?
Do you want to let you birdmen who are yellow on the outside and white on the inside stick their hot faces to other people's white flowers' cold butts?
I was angry when I thought about it, but when I thought about it, I couldn't reduce the quality of my big Chinese people, so I pretended to say, "Don't dare to ask for advice, say it and let's discuss it together." ”
Zhao Huasheng still said politely: "I grew up in the United States since I was a child, but my parents are Chinese, this is my second time returning to China, I don't know very well about the profession of private detectives in our country, whether our country does this business of Chinese martial arts and feng shui."
? ”
I kind of understood, it turned out that the banana man was talking about the same person who thought I was also a private detective.
I wanted to tease him, so I said, "Shame! Ashamed! I'm pretty bad at martial arts and feng shui in this industry! ”
"Oops! Magical! Amazing! The scope of private detective business in China is really extensive! Zhao Huasheng was full of praise.
But there is one thing I wonder, how can he, a banana man who grew up receiving American culture, understand the Miao tricks and feng shui so well, especially the mysterious and weird Miao tricks, even we Chinese have only heard of it, let alone know how to crack it!
Could it be that this banana man has the intention to deceive me? The purpose is to see that I am good at it, so that I can protect him? Ten **, suddenly I gritted my teeth and the root of my teeth itched, so I asked him.
Zhao Huasheng is very talkative, and he basically explained everything in one breath.
"Actually, I came to this Miao Village because I was dragged by my master, he asked me to find a friend of his, and the reason why I learned about Gu was precisely because the person I needed to find had some research on this aspect.
His surname was "Wang", and his Chinese name was "Wang Qiming", and he was a great Chinese-American explorer and archaeologist.
He has a deep knowledge in the field of Chinese mystical civilization, and even more accomplished than some of our local archaeologists.
But about thirty years ago, when he had not immigrated to the United States, he had been here, and it was said that Qianhu Miao Village was discovered by his teacher, and I don't know what Wang Qiming came to Qianhu Miao Village to study that year, but I guess it has something to do with Gu.
Because there are a lot of records about Miao Gu in his notebook, and when I took over this big order, I had already read his information and notebook, so I knew that your fat brother was the middle Gu.
As for Feng Shui, I naturally don't understand, but Mr. Wang Qiming's notebook has occasional Feng Shui essays, I just memorized it, and my heart said that I would return to our mysterious China and maybe use it, sure enough! Didn't you just save my life? ”
I see! But I'm not interested in the awesome-sounding character Zhao Huasheng is looking for, and I don't care why he disappeared.
However, one day after a few years, I regretted it, it turned out that this "Wang Qiming" played a vital role in my body, and it can even be said that he played a crucial role in unraveling the relationship between me and the demon man, but this is all for later.
After listening, I looked at my watch, it was already half past ten, I had wasted half an hour, and I had no time, so I asked, "Do you want to keep you out safely, so that you are willing to tell me the way to solve my brother's Gu." ”
Zhao Huasheng smiled meaningfully, "I also need a little bargaining chips, after all, there are still things that require me to cooperate with you in the future." ”
"No more nonsense, deal! What are you looking for? "I should.
Zhao Huasheng said, "According to Wang Qiming's notebook, he once found a map in this Miao Village, and the map is in the location where I gave you Feng Shuikou.
If you're not mistaken, I think it's right where we are now, and you can help find the map. ”
I asked, "Map?" What does it look like? ”
"I don't know! I didn't go into detail in my notebook! Zhao Huasheng also sighed helplessly.
As he spoke, I had already looked around with a flashlight, and it was a secret room with blue brick and ancient stone walls that was empty on all sides, and there was nothing special except for a secret passage that led to the darkness.
Looking at me, I wondered what this place was for, why it was built under the stage, or if it just happened to be on top of it.
However, it is certain that this place has a long history, but I have no way of knowing the exact time, because there is nothing characteristic around it except for large stone bars, but the style of this building seems to me to be familiar.
Looking at the secret passage, I thought to myself that if there was really any map, it should be inside, so I said to Zhao Huasheng, "Let's go!" Go inside and have a look. ”
Zhao Huasheng also had this intention, but as if by magic, he took out a wooden cross and a few garlic from his bag, and said, "Hero!" Come! Take the talisman, this thing to ward off evil spirits! ”
I smirked and asked, "Do you carry all this with you?" ”
Zhao Huasheng explained that after he came down, he found that I was asleep, and I found this place by myself, and I felt weird, so I went back to take it down in order to prevent it from happening, but as expected, I was really attacked by something that might be a vampire.
Then I came down, and he mistook me for a vampire, which was how offended.
My heart says! What kind of eyesight, is there a handsome and dashing vampire like me in the fuck!
But he said, "Take your broken thing, this is the mysterious East, even if there is a monster, it's not something you can deal with."
So saying, we headed for the only secret passage.
It's just a passage, the only feature is black, and the light of the flashlight is very bright in this darkness.
This environment immediately reminded me of the previous experience of being scared by Xin Xin on Mount Everest, under the ghost monuments.
I still vividly remember the sudden appearance of a pale human face smiling at you in the darkness.
Now that I recall this situation, my heart is still trembling, goosebumps unconsciously get up, and I think, won't there be a grimace in this place?
After walking about twenty meters away, I suddenly heard a strange noise, intermittent and very quiet, which I had heard as I had just rolled down.
Immediately I realized that it was the little animal that had just injured me, and I thought to myself that there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to break into, and this time I will not let you go so easily if it is planted in my hands.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a rapid sound overhead, and as far as experience goes, there was a situation above the head.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, "Damn! Why does it start from the head every time? Before the scolding had fallen, the man had already looked up.
I saw an unidentified brown object fall overhead.
"Get out of the way!"
When I landed, I let out a loud sigh, one hand, and stopped Zhao Huasheng's chest behind me, and my feet, waist and arms were exerted at the same time, and I flashed backwards, and took Zhao Huasheng, who had not yet reacted, to avoid this sudden "hidden weapon".
I didn't bother to look at the thing that fell from the top of my head as soon as it hit the ground, and immediately the flashlight hit the top, only to see an oval-shaped black shadow flash, it walked like a wind, disappeared in an instant, and disappeared into the darkness.
But I had no intention of finding out what had attacked us, because the horrific scene above my head had already stunned me, and my scalp was numb, and I was dumbfounded, and I couldn't make a sound for a while.
Zhao Huasheng, who had just reacted on the side, muttered, "What's the situation?" ”
But then he stopped talking, probably just like me, frightened.
I saw that the top of the head was inlaid with dense bones, and all of them were human bones, these human bones were inlaid with strange shapes, and most of the movements were impossible for normal people to do.
Some of them have largely merged with the wall, perhaps too long ago, and looking at these postures can give the impression that they suffered greatly before they died.
Some of the skeletons had their mouths wide open, and it was not difficult to see that they were dying in pain, and the most unbearable thing for me was that there were large and small bones, indicating that there should be babies and children here, which is also too inhumane.
Looking at these hideous bones, I can't help but imagine the inhumane images of these living people being broken alive because of some custom, and then embedded in the top of the wall.
There are old and young of them! There are men and women! They wailed! Weeping bitterly! But in the end, it still can't escape the cruel civilization and behavior of the feudal superstition of the old forces.
Zhao Huasheng's most accepted in foreign countries is to advocate everything first-oriented, oppose theocracy, preach the emancipation of individuality, oppose hierarchical concepts, advocate rationality, and oppose ignorant humanist thoughts.
So when he saw this scene, he almost didn't go crazy, and said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "Ohgod! ** you! This...... It's crazy, it's crazy! Is this the burial of the living in China? It's so inhuman! ”
As soon as I heard this, I didn't agree, and I couldn't help but be angry, and I said in my heart, "Isn't there a living burial of the damn foreigner, what is a mummy?"
However, he just said that "the possibility of burial is not very likely, the prevalence of funeral in China was before the Qin Dynasty, and after the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been somewhat restricted, although the dynasties have risen and fallen since then, but basically they are only in the powerful aristocracy, and this is the Miao people, and I don't think it looks like a mausoleum." ”
Zhao Huasheng then asked, "Then what is this?" ”
"I don't think this is the place used to be used for sacrifices!" As I spoke, I beckoned Zhao Huasheng to continue with me and find out.
Before leaving, I looked at what had fallen on the ground, it was also a skeleton, but it was incomplete, and it looked like a child, which was really pitiful!
I couldn't help but think of Nini's past, when her body was also exposed to wind and rain in the wilderness, and then I buried it, and she followed me all along.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion in my heart, and I used compassion, so I wrapped the bones with Zhao Huasheng's Miao coat!
I thought that this child must have only wanted to go out here before she died, and now let me take her bones out and bury them properly, which can be regarded as another relief for her.
