Yan Xiaotian nodded.

Liang Houzai turned his head and said to me: "This Li Bingshen is indeed very suspicious, let's find all the signature books and see what he has been doing in those places for the past two years." ”

I said okay, anyway, there are no other clues now, let's start with Li Bingshen, but before that, we have to dispose of the mercenary's corpse first.

The second master asked Wang Lei to stay and dispose of the body, and then urged Yan Xiaotian to find the signature book.

After all, it is a human life, and I must report the death of the mercenary to Senior Brother Zhuang, but Senior Brother Zhuang didn't know what he was busy with, and the phone couldn't get through, so I asked Wang Lei to put the body in the low building first, Yan Xiaotian also said that the low building had been abandoned for many years, and no one usually went in, so it was a good choice to store the body there temporarily.

Yan Xiaotian said that there are a total of eight patrol points for the people of Baiwu Mountain, namely the Treasure Pavilion, the Great Hall, the Back Valley, the Torture Hall, the Town Soul Street, and the three main roads in the Baiwu Mountain, among which the Hou Valley is the place where the Hidden Elders retreat, and at the end of the Town Soul Street is the secret room of the Baiwu Mountain, and I have been there the first two times I have been to the Baiwu Mountain.

Our first destination was a long street running east-west, and as we walked on the road, I asked Yan Xiaotian: "When you were in the Treasure Pavilion just now, you didn't finish your words, what happened when you rebuilt the main hall?" ”

Yan Xiaotian said: "When the main hall was rebuilt, six Tang Sancai porcelain bottles were buried at the bottom of the main hall, and the master said that the six bottles were bought from a wandering Taoist priest, and they were six bone bottles, the bones of the bones, and the price was very expensive. ”

I was a little confused: "What do you mean by the bone bottle, is it containing bones?" ”

Yan Xiaotian: "It seems that some ashes have been rubbed into the bottle, I don't know the specifics, now in Baiwu Mountain, few people know that there are bone bottles buried under the hall, and the master doesn't know much about these bottles, only that they are buried under the hall." ”

Liang Houzai said: "Could it be that those people are lurking in Baiwu Mountain just to find these bottles?" Yan Xiaotian, apart from you and the old master, who else knows about the bone bottle? ”

Yan Xiaotian pondered for a moment before responding: "It's gone, the main thing is that no one usually mentions this, and I don't know who else knows." ”

While the three of us were talking, a few patrolling Baiwu Mountain Sect people appeared not far away, and Liang Houzai immediately made a silent gesture to Yan Xiaotian.

When a few people from Baiwushan Gate saw Yan Xiaotian, they saluted very respectfully, and Yan Xiaotian symbolically asked them about their patrol and let them go.

Five or six minutes later, we came to an old building in the northwest corner of the crossroads, and a large wooden plaque hung on the door, with the words "Feng Shui Tang" written on it.

As soon as Yan Xiaotian arrived at the door, a middle-aged man with a sturdy figure immediately greeted him, the Taoist robe on his body had dark blue trim, and his status in Baiwu Mountain should be very high.

He respectfully clasped his hands towards Yan Xiaotian and called, "Palm." ”

Yan Xiaotian smiled politely at him: "Elder An, the notebook used by the doorman to sign in should be with you, right?" ”

Elder An didn't talk nonsense, he immediately entered the inner hall, came out with a thick notebook, and handed it to Yan Xiaotian.

Yan Xiaotian handed the notebook to Liang Houzai and introduced it to me: "Elder An is my senior brother, when Zhao Dekai was in chaos in Baiwu Mountain, he was still in retreat on the side of Zhongnan Mountain. ”

Out of politeness, I smiled and nodded to Elder An, who just looked at me without any indication.

Liang Houzai quickly flipped through the book and shook his head at me and Yan Xiaotian: "He hasn't worked here. ”

Only then did Elder An ask, "Who?" ”

What I didn't expect was that Yan Xiaotian immediately responded to his question: "Li Bingshen." ”

Elder Ann: "He only works in four places. ”

Yan Xiaotian: "Which four places." ”

Elder An: "The main hall, the back valley, the town soul street, the treasure pavilion." ”

Yan Xiaotian suddenly frowned: "These four places are the last people want to go, how can he choose such a place to work?" ”

Elder An: "Li Bingshen has a problem. ”

A group of us all looked at Elder An, just waiting for him to say the following, but his words ended here, we waited for a long time, and he didn't say anything more.

Later, Yan Xiaotian asked him: "What's wrong with Li Bingshen?" ”

Elder An replied succinctly, "There is a problem with character. ”

I estimate that Elder An may be like this in normal times, Yan Xiaotian also had a headache on his face, and asked him again: "What is wrong with Li Bingshen's character, why do you think there is a problem with his character, and what are his performances that make people think that there is a problem with his quality?" ”

Yan Xiaotian asked such a long list of questions, but Elder An's response was still very simple: "Greedy for money, lazy, and love to take advantage of small advantages." ”

Liu Shangang was a little impatient: "No, I said can you say more, just a few words and a few words jumped out, making people anxious." ”

I waved my hand, signaled Liu Shangang not to talk too much, and then asked Elder An: "In addition to being greedy for money, lazy, and loving to take advantage of small advantages, does Li Bingshen have any other questions, and has he behaved unusually in the past two years?" ”

Elder An looked at the roof with his eyes as if in deep thought, and came over for a while before he said to me, "I can't touch him, no one can touch him." ”

This is Elder An's answer, I am very puzzled in my heart, if it is a problem if I can't figure it out, then in his eyes, there are more people with problems in this world.

Yan Xiaotian said to me: "Elder An, like me, is a teacher of Master Yu, we have all practiced the technique of contemplating the mind and ears, usually I don't have much time to contact those beginner disciples, Elder An had more contact with them back then, he said that Li Bingshen has a problem, Li Bingshen must have a problem." ”

I asked Yan Xiaotian: "You can see people accurately, is it also because you practiced that kind of technique?" ”

Yan Xiaotian was noncommittal.

Then Yan Xiaotian said to Elder An: "That's it, Elder An, don't stay in the Feng Shui Hall, take a few disciples and go around, there may be monsters mixed in in our Baiwu Mountain." ”

Hearing Yan Xiaotian's words, Elder An was startled at first, his eyes widened, as if he was asking Yan Xiaotian, how could there be demons in Baiwu Mountain? But he still didn't ask this question after all, nodded and turned to go upstairs, I guess he should have gone to gather disciples.

Yan Xiaotian suggested going to the main hall to have a look first, I didn't think the same as him, I planned to go to Zhensoul Street first, where there is the secret room of Baiwu Mountain, and the fierce god often goes over, plus the memory of the fierce god has been erased, it may also be related to that secret room.

In the end, Yan Xiaotian agreed to my proposal, and the group of us left the Feng Shui Hall, walked a few paths, and returned to the old house where the old master used to stay.

As I walked along the road, I noticed that the old abandoned buildings on both sides of the road were now inhabited, and the windows facing the road were shining with light, but most of the windows facing the path were blocked.

Liang Houzai also discovered this small detail and asked Yan Xiaotian if there was a special statement for such an arrangement.

Yan Xiaotian looked a little helpless: "It was those beginner disciples who blocked the windows themselves, some time ago there was a rumor that these windows facing the path are all yin and yang outlets, as long as these windows are there, the wandering spirits passing through the path will burrow into the building, and the yang energy of that place is heavy, and the ghosts go in to suck the yang energy of the living." I was in the middle of a dispute between the presbyterians, and by the time I learned about it, all the windows facing the path were blocked. ”

Liu Shangang shone the blocked windows with a flashlight, and said to himself: "These windows are blocked, and the paths of Baiwu Mountain have become visual blind spots, so that it is more convenient for people lurking in Baiwu Mountain to move." ”

Liang Houzai nodded and said, "It is estimated that the rumors of Yin and Yang were spread by that group. ”

Yan Xiaotian: "When I went back, I asked them to remove all the boards that were nailed to the windows." ”

I waved my hand: "Don't, just block it like this." Now we are in the light, the other party is in the dark, we don't know how many people are on the other side, we don't know how deep they hide, if you tear down the window, they may make other troubles. ”

Liang Houzai agreed with my thoughts: "Brother Dao is right, before we find out all the lurkers, we had better not go too far, not only not to startle the snakes, but also to paralyze them." ”

Yan Xiaotian sighed: "Yes." I said, how can you think back to me, I used to be with you, I felt stupid, and now I have been fighting with the Council of Elders for a few years, I think I have grown, but in front of you, why do I still feel stupid. ”

I patted Yan Xiaotian on the shoulder: "It's not that you're stupid, it's that you have experienced too little." Don't you know, we have been hovering on the edge of life and death almost every day over the years, and if we are not careful, we will be crushed by our bones, and after a long time, we are used to thinking like this. Therefore, people like us are not suitable for business, because it is difficult to trust others, and we are full of doubts and uncertainties about the environment around us. ”

Yan Xiaotian still sighed, but didn't say anything more.

I remember the first two times I visited, the secret room at the end of Zhensoul Street was still a very dilapidated thatched house, but now Baiwu Mountain has undergone a large-scale renovation, the thatched house has also been turned into a concrete wall, and the rusty iron door has also been replaced.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the secret room, I sensed a very heavy yin qi, and Liang Houzai also felt it, he pointed to the dark brown door panel and asked me, "Is it a fierce god?" ”

I nodded: "I can't go wrong, that's it." ”

Yan Xiaotian opened the door, and the yin qi floated out along the crack in the door, and the second master couldn't help frowning, and then let out the evil qi all over his body.

There is yin qi in the front, and evil qi in the back, several of us are sandwiched in the middle, all of them have a particularly uncomfortable expression, Liang Houzai and I frowned, and Liu Shangang has been touching the backpack behind him, I don't know why he behaved like this.

I took out a few pieces of Shouyang candy from my pocket and handed them to Liu Shangang: "Eat it." ”

Liu Shangang looked at the candy and hesitated, but finally put it in his mouth.

We sensed the existence of the fierce god, and the fierce god also sensed that we were coming, and he floated out along the corner of the wall, looked at me, looked at the second master, and finally asked me, "Do you know how to play Go?" ”

I glanced at Liang Houzai, and Liang Houzai immediately understood what I meant, and said to the fierce god, "I will go down." ”

The fierce god looked at Liang Houzai with a particularly puzzled gaze for a while, as if he remembered something, and said, "Let's play a game with me." ”

With that, his body sank into the wall, and a few seconds later, the secret door in the wall was opened.

I turned to Liu Shangang and said, "The fierce god didn't put away his yin qi today, so don't go in, wait for us here." ”

Liu Shangang couldn't wait to stay away from the fierce god, found a chair to sit down, and waved his hand at me: "Go ahead." ”

When we entered the secret room, the fierce god had already set up the chessboard, and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, not knowing what he was thinking.
