I was so busy that I almost hung up, and I was naturally unwilling to hand over the Shenmu Wang Ding. But the other party is loaded with ammunition, and Ma Bond is not there, so the relationship between China and China has to be taken into account.

The fat man was rough and refused: "Leave it to your mother, Lao Tzu worked hard, but the credit was taken away by you." Now he is asking us for something, and I don't believe that Lao Tzu knocked you to death. ”

"Vulgar! It's unreasonable, it's hard to talk to someone like you. Zhang Muzhi said angrily, "In a word, if you don't pay, you are violating the laws of the country." I'll put you in jail then, and don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

I sneered, "Sir Zhang, what a big official." I'll just say it bluntly, we were ordered by Ma Bond to go on the boat to extinguish this gang of antiquities thieves, and set up a tracker, but Ma Bond did not come, and Your Excellency came, if I am not mistaken, you are behind all this......"

Zhang Muzhi's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he opened his mouth and said: "One yard is one yard, what I want to say now is that things must be handed over to the state, don't give me anything that I don't have, besides, you have no evidence and no evidence, it is slander." ”

I almost blew up, to paraphrase an Internet buzz, I've never seen anyone so brazen.

At this time, General Lin spoke: "What Shenmu Wang Ding, I haven't seen this thing auctioned at the meeting." The recovery of lost artifacts is a large volume and a heavy task, so don't spend your energy on such insignificant details. If what this young man said is true, then Ma Bond also has credit for this matter, and he naturally has it, so he must not be neglected. ”

Old Man Lin's words undoubtedly had a decisive effect. Since he said so, Zhang Muzhi couldn't openly contradict it, so he had to acquiesce.

I nodded at the old man, grateful to him. He must have known about the Shenmu Wang Ding, but he chose to turn a blind eye and give this treasure to me. Moreover, the credit of Ma Bond was mentioned, and the checks and balances of various forces are the art of leadership.

But as if he did not see me, and did not respond to my thanks, he continued: "These people, who have contributed a lot, went back to them to declare a reward for righteousness and bravery, and besides, I saw that they were also injured, so I immediately asked them to heal them and protect them ashore. ”

Zhang Muzhi reluctantly said yes.

General Lin glanced at him and said meaningfully: "They have red in a few places, and the injuries are not light, but your people have solved such a big case unscathed, and the blood is not stained, should I praise you for your great powers or your ability." ”

No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Muzhi was, he couldn't help blushing at this time. It should not be, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.

At this time, a soldier hurriedly walked in outside and reported to Zhang Muzhi, which just relieved him of his embarrassment.

"Report, when we were thoroughly checking the guests, we accidentally let two people escape."

Zhang Muzhi frowned, "What are you doing to eat, you control the overall situation with loaded guns and ammunition, and you can still let the two of you run away?" What two people ran away? ”

The man had a strange expression on his face, "It's a man and a woman, very young, but it's strange, they use poison." One of us was caught off guard, so we let them run away and leave on a speedboat. ”

Zhang Muzhi rolled his eyes, "Then why are you still stunned, why don't you chase after it?" ”

I know that a man and a woman will use poison again, and it must be Kite Dong and that little white face. But speaking of which, I still don't know where these two people are, and I robbed them of the Shenmu King Ding they wanted, so I must have a lot of grudges against me at this time.

"Yes......" the man retreated.

I thanked General Lin and was about to leave, when I suddenly saw Tang Benren's corpse, I thought about it, so I said to him, "Old Man Lin, there are some things that I know are not what I should say at my level, but please bear with me." ”

Old General Lin glanced at me, "You say." ”

"These Japanese people belong to the Black Dragon Society, and as far as I know, they have been plotting to revive the Chinese dragon vein, and use the way of feng shui to weaken the fortune of the Chinese country. Now they actually sent a death squad to fight William's idea. Those who take such a big risk are nothing more than black eating black and trying to rob money. The rise of the Huaxia Kingdom is the trend of the times, so it is speculated that the plans of the Black Dragon Society over the years have not progressed smoothly, and the consumption is extremely high, and it has reached the point where it is unsustainable......"

Old General Lin nodded, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, "Go on." ”

I was encouraged and said, "Of course, there is also the credit of 701 here, but the failure of the Black Dragon Society's operation means that their situation is even worse, and then I think they are likely to jump over the wall and fight to the death, so they have to be more vigilant." ”

"According to you, how is 701 going to deal with it next?" Old General Lin asked with interest.

I changed my words, "I heard that your ministry is going to hold the world's No. 1 Mage Conference, and select an officially recognized Heavenly Master from among countless capable people, and give a lot of benefits. The kid dared to comment that Old Man Lin's method was nothing more than to make the capable people of Huaxia suffer internal friction, so as to stabilize the power of the Yin Sect of Buddhism, so as not to affect and seal the dragon vein of Huaxia like they did sixty years ago. ”

"Hmph, you know a lot." Old General Lin sneered.

I was immediately embarrassed, these are indeed not what I should know, but I still boldly said my thoughts: "But in this way, the consumption of Huaxia is not small, in order to compete for this fame and fortune, it is bound to set off a bloody storm, and the Black Dragon Society is bound to take this opportunity to make wind and rain, in my opinion, holding the world's first mage conference is doing more harm than good, please think twice." ”

General Lin's face sank like water, "You are a scholar's opinion." I, Lin someone, also came from the old society, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Unification Campaign, the great cause of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the following decades have been experienced, witnessing China's prosperity from poverty and weakness to today's prosperity, every step of the way there are countless people who shed blood and sweat, so that there is today's situation. Now we are standing at the threshold of great rejuvenation, and there must be no accidents, otherwise the blood and sweat of our predecessors will be wasted. Let me ask you, if you allow the power of these people in the Yin Gate of Buddhism to grow, if you open the dragon vein of China, the superstition and ignorance of the past will return to the land of China, will you bear this sin? ”

I was sweating so hard that I didn't dare to say anything. Not to mention whether it is carried by me, it is still a question whether I can afford to carry it.

"Now this responsibility falls on the shoulders of someone in my forest, so there must not be a single mistake. If you sacrifice that handful of people, you can exchange for a hundred years of national fortune in China, and you can only do this. Even if it is me Lin who sacrifices, I am willing to do it. Speaking of this, Old Man Lin was slightly emotional.

I couldn't persuade him to change his mind, so I had to shut up in time. The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, maybe from the perspective of his country, he is right, this is not within my ability.

It seems that the world's first mage conference is imperative, Ma Bond failed to stop it, and I can't, but I don't know how many people in the Yin Sect of Buddhism and Taoism will be killed or injured by this.

……

We returned to land, and a week later, Yan Xue and I appeared in the wilderness and mountains of Xiangxi.

I have the Shenmu Wang Ding on me, and I am going to go into the mountains and wilderness of this area, visit the old mother of Montenegro, and beg her to remove the corpse poison from my body with the Shenmu Wang Ding. The fat man was shot in bed and had to lie down for at least a few months, so I had to come with Yan Xue.

Ma Bond is still wrestling with Zhang Muzhi, but looking at this momentum, the world's first mage conference is imperative, I can't take care of these things, and national affairs are not something I can manage, the only thing I can manage is my life.

Whether the Huaxia dragon vein will be opened or not is still unknown.

Let's talk about this trip to Xiangxi.

Xiangxi, also known as Xiangxi Region and Greater Xiangxi, is a collective term for the entire western part of Hunan, including Zhangjiajie City, Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, Huaihua City, and the western counties of Shaoyang City (Suining, etc.). It is a vast area surrounded by the two major mountain ranges of Wuling and Xuefeng and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the upper reaches of Yuanshui and Lishui and their tributaries converge.

The mountains here are of the same vein, the water is of the same origin, the folk customs are similar, and the tourism resources are abundant. As far as the reality of Hunan's entire economic pattern is concerned, the more homogeneous characteristics here are the remoteness of the region and the lagging development. Xiangxi is the main underdeveloped area, ethnic minority area and ecologically fragile area in Hunan Province, and it is also a hub area that connects the east and west, the Yangtze River and the South China Economic Zone.

To put it bluntly, it is remote, backward, and a meeting place of various folk cultures, so the witch wind is quite heavy.

I have been to many places in the antique trading industry for many years, but the superstitious things I have seen do not add up to as much as the Xiangxi area combined.

Although it is a deserted place, there are many residents, and there is nothing during the day, and at night, the streets and alleys are either this chongfu or that one worships and fights; It's either this retreating white tiger, or the one shouting soul, and there are many superstitious names that can't be named.

Roughly categorized, there are four types: 'Gu Teaching', 'Pai Teaching', 'Teacher Teaching', and 'Chasing Corpses'.

Needless to say, Gu Sect is the one that uses Gu.

Pai teaching, originated from the platoon workers on the river,

Paijiao is to use Fu water to cure diseases, and call himself the descendant of "Zhu Yuke" (ancient witch doctor); Because Zhu Yuke is the most famous in Chenzhou. In addition, drowning to death requires excess, and being haunted by water ghosts can be found to teach.

Teachers teach, it is not easy to classify, in short, it is responsible for 'incurable diseases'. The patriarch he worshipped was called Baishi Sanniang, which was a nude portrait, and the people in the church were called "Shigong", who specialized in summoning spirits for others, breaking off the family, Guan Fu (making a name symbol for children, which can avoid all kinds of troubles), establishing a ban, plowshare ban, and chiseling all kinds of names) and the art of the nightmare curse, which is called the teacher's teaching.

The corpse originated in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Lipu in Guchen Prefecture. In the Qing Dynasty, it was widely spread that the "corpse chasers" in Xiangxi used "secret techniques" to bring the corpses of people who died in a foreign land back to their hometowns and let them be buried in peace.

The above four categories do not belong to the Taoist Gate, nor do they belong to the Buddhist Gate, they are all some spells, because they are different from the professions on the surface of the world, they are collectively called the Yin Gate. In fact, there are many things that belong to the Yin Gate, such as corpse sewers, executioners, and servants, most of whom are active in the old society, and many of them have died out to the point of today, or have been changed to other livelihoods.

This is also the reason why the people in the Yin Gate hope that the Huaxia Dragon Vein can return to the world, after all, it is a matter of their survival.

But in this place, there are still many yin gates that have not perished.

Outside the Shihai Xiaowu Gate, there is a place called Sifang Market; It is a small market with about a few thousand families around. The three religions and nine streams are all gathered here, and then to the east is Heimuling, which is the old mother of Montenegro, and it is also a gathering place for Gu Sects, where there is a perennial black smoke miasma, and poisonous insects are infested, ordinary people are not disgusted with life, and they dare not go anywhere.

Fortunately, the old mother of Montenegro is the leader of the Gu Sect, and she does not harm people with Gu, and she is strict with the sect members, cleans herself, uses Gu to harm, or seeks ill-gotten gains, she will be punished by the canon. But this old woman has a strange temperament, she doesn't provoke people, but if she is provoked, she will not die too miserably. Therefore, the people of Sifang Market are both respectful and afraid of this old black mountain mother.

As soon as Yan Xue and I arrived at the place, we found a temporary hotel on stilts to live in, the so-called plan and then move, planning to figure out the situation and then go up the mountain, otherwise we haven't seen the face of the old mother of Montenegro, so we can't hang up first.

The front desk of the hotel was a young man with a lot of words, named Wang Jiu. There are very few outsiders here, so the staff at the inn are idle, and their only job is to clean and swatt flies.

When I saw us, it was like seeing our parents, and without saying a word, they made room for us two empty houses. We came from afar, climbed mountains and waded through waters, and our eyes were already bright.

I asked Xiao Wang to bring all the good dishes in the store to the room, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Xue and I swept away. Look at her delicate girl, I didn't expect it to be so eaten. Xiao Wang's eyes were about to fall, and he hurriedly asked us where we came from and why we were so hungry.

I thought that this place was remote and full of obstacles, and if there was no native to lead the way, none of them would have rushed into the street without paying attention. So I discussed with him and asked him to be our guide for two hundred yuan a day, and Wang Jiu was naturally happy to agree.

So we decided to rest for a day and go up the mountain to find the old mother of Montenegro during the day the next day.

Helplessly, I am the kind of character who can't be idle, and the night is long, so I call Yan Xue to go to the nearby market together.

The market is a place where land and water meet, and people from all over the world can travel through it, so the market is quite lively, especially at night, even if you are nestled in a hotel, you can hear the sound of hawking in the distance.

Walking out of the near place, it is really a good bazaar, there are stalls to buy some antiques, small miscellaneous things, there are also seasonal fruits, there are also art yohe, old and young, women and children have, the end is lively.

Halfway through, a stall caught our idea. But I saw a lot of people gathered around, saying that it was a show, and from time to time there was laughter, saying that they were buying something, but no one was selling, so what did these people look at together?
