Zhang Zixuan asked a few more questions, but I answered vaguely, and he knew that I didn't want to answer, so he didn't continue to ask.

After another half an hour or so, we set off, a team of luxury cars drove into the village, at the end of the village, a relatively flat ground placed more than a dozen board houses, many villagers are standing at the gate to watch, dragons and snakes are mixed, some people are dressed more plainly, it seems to be local farmers, and some are brightly dressed, it is estimated that they are outsiders like us.

In the village openly put up a board house, we are still the first one, this kind of high-profile approach, does Zhang Zixuan want to demonstrate? Tell the people here, my Zhang family has taken a fancy to this place, so if you are interested, get out of here!

There are a total of 12 board rooms, one of which is for cooking, two are for Cheng Dong and them, Zhang Zixuan and I each have one, and the remaining four are for bodyguards, because they have to take turns to keep vigil, so the four board rooms are enough for them to live.

The furnishings in the board room are very high-end, and the rich are different, even the board room can be so decent.

There is only one big bed in the board room where I live, and the board room arranged for Xu Xiaoling and them is the bunk bed, I said to Xu Xiaoling: "Sister Xiaoling, it's very uncomfortable to sleep in the bunk bed, or let's squeeze together?" ”

"Who's going to squeeze with you?"

"Do you think, Cheng Dong must live with his girlfriend, do you want to live with Wang Jianhua? I disagree! ”

Xu Xiaoling glanced at me and said, "Cheng Dong and Wang Jianhua are in one room, and Doudou and I are in the same room." "Doudou is Cheng Dong's girlfriend.

"However, the bunk beds are uncomfortable, so let's sleep in my room, and I'll go sleep in the bunk beds." I said with concern.

Xu Xiaoling said in a gentle voice: "How can I be so hypocritical? It's okay, it's already good to have a place to sleep, you, just sleep in the big bed by yourself, if you really want to find someone to crowd, go find Cheng Dong. ”

Just after lunch, Xu Xiaoling and the others were about to go out to collect antiquities, and I followed.

Zhang Zixuan sent a few bodyguards out to collect intelligence and find out the news.

Xu Xiaoling and I walked side by side, the one named Wang Jianhua was angry, we talked and laughed and came to the first house in the east of the village, this house was very small, very dilapidated, knocked on the door, an old lady with gray hair opened the door, Xu Xiaoling said politely: "Hello grandma, we are from the Qiling City Museum, this is my ID, please take a look." Xu Xiaoling handed over his work card.

The old lady said, "I don't know how to read, do you want to rent my house?" I'm old, I'm afraid of noise, and the house is small, so I don't rent it, you go elsewhere, if you want to collect antiques, you can come in and have a look. ”

"Grandma, we want to see the antiques of your family, and collect it in the museum, and keep it in it for good keeping, so that future generations can see more complete antiques." Xu Xiaoling said gently.

The old woman invited us into the house, took out a yellowed rice bowl and said, "This is the only thing left, I have eaten with it for decades, and someone offered 5,000 yuan a while ago, and I was reluctant to sell it." ”

Cheng Dong put on white gloves very professionally, carefully took the small bowl, looked at it with a magnifying glass, and looked at it repeatedly for a minute, Cheng Dong nodded and said: "It is the blue and white porcelain of the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the official kiln, the value is very high, but the preservation is not complete enough, so the value is greatly reduced, I estimate that the value of this bowl should be about 200,000, you can take a look." ”

When the old lady heard Cheng Dong's words, she was taken aback: "Young man, you said that my bowl is worth 200,000?" ”

I was afraid that the old lady's love would fluctuate too much, so I hurriedly said: "Grandma, this is just a preliminary estimate, don't get excited, but I'm a little curious, why are you so surprised?" ”

The old lady said tremblingly: "I, my family originally had three antiques, but the other two were only sold for 8,000 yuan, and those two were porcelain bottles, similar to the pattern of this bowl." ”

I was speechless for a while, it seemed that the old lady had been deceived by an unscrupulous peddler.

Of course, Xu Xiaoling also heard what was going on, and she said: "Grandma, we are regular, and we will definitely not deceive people like those illegal traders." ”

After Xu Xiaoling's appraisal, he finally gave a high price of 220,000 yuan, and asked the old lady if she was willing to sell this bowl, the old lady was very excited and said yes again and again. Xu Xiaoling chatted with the old lady, learned that the old lady had a son, his son found a daughter-in-law in the city, and gave birth to a little girl, ten years ago, they drove back here for the New Year on the way to a car accident, only the little girl survived, his son and daughter-in-law both died, the old lady pulled the granddaughter up, but the granddaughter disappeared mysteriously two months ago, the old lady's eyes were almost blind, and then, the village lost a lot of women in a row, even foreign women also lost a few, the old lady told Xu Xiaoling and Doudou, Be careful.

Lose only women? Are there human traffickers here? Unlikely, right? You know, there are many people with special abilities here, and this matter must have aroused their suspicions, so have they tracked it down? So I asked, "Grandma, didn't you call the police?" ”

"No, we are in the middle of nowhere, how can there be any police? However, the village chief organized the young people to go out and look for them many times, but they found nothing, and it was not done by outsiders, because the girls were lost at night, and at night, all those outsiders did not go out. The old woman said.

The people in the village have alibi, so it's strange, is it some kind of monster that is causing trouble?

It seems that this place is not simple, in order to avoid Xu Xiaoling encountering danger, I must be vigilant! I knew that I would have let my eldest sister come over, and with my eldest sister here, I would definitely be able to help a lot.

Back in the board room, I said to Xu Xiaoling with a straight face: "Sister Xiaoling, it's very dangerous here, it's really not good, you still have a room with me, don't worry, I won't take advantage of you." ”

"No need, Xiaolong, I'll just try not to go out at night."

At night, I moved a chair and sat at Xu Xiaoling's door to pretend to sleep, I was used to this way of sleeping, probably because of my strong physique, so it was no problem not sleeping for two days in a row.

Although there were five armed bodyguards patrolling the night at night, I still felt uneasy, so I sat at Xu Xiaoling's door in person.

In the case of frequent disappearances of women, according to my inference, there are three possibilities.

First, it was human traffickers who did it, but what human traffickers could come and go without a trace and not be discovered?

Second, the women were all bewitched by ghosts when they went out at night, perhaps into the mountains.

Third, it was dragged away by a fierce beast, but this possibility is too small, if it is a fierce beast, it is impossible to bite people to death at once, and it will definitely leave a chance for the woman to shout for help, but no one in the village heard this sound, and there was no trace of blood.

So the second possibility is more likely, and Xu Xiaoling took the talisman I made, and the ghosts didn't dare to approach, but for the sake of safety, I still have to stay here in person to rest assured.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoling didn't have the habit of getting up at night, so I sat down until three o'clock the next morning, stood up and moved, jogged for a while, and did five hundred push-ups, and the bodyguards who watched stared at me.

As soon as I finished doing push-ups, just as I was about to meditate, Ma Dehua walked out and greeted me: "Xiaolong, you are really diligent, how about coming over and practicing a few tricks?" ”

"I can't ask for it!"

After practicing with Ma Dehua for a while, although I have been abused by him, I have also gained a lot of experience, and the masters are all abused.

During the day, Zhang Zixuan discussed with me and said that he wanted me to go to the nearby mountains to find clues, and he estimated that there must be some ancient tombs nearby, and the names of those villages should also know the location, but they refused to say, so he looked for a breakthrough from the villagers, and I went up the mountain to look for it.

He said so, can I still not agree? I could only nod helplessly. Then find Xu Xiaoling and tell her to be careful.

Xu Xiaoling touched my face and said, "You have to be careful." ”

"Don't worry, haven't you seen my skills? I'll try to come back early and have dinner with you. I said with a smile.

……………………

Zhang Zixuan asked Uncle Jiang, the gossip serial palm, to accompany me into the mountains to investigate, and to take care of each other.

This small village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and when I walked to the mountain, I was blinded, who knows where there is an ancient tomb?

I suddenly remembered Feng Nianke, if she was here, she would definitely be able to quickly find out the location of the tomb, no matter how bad it was, Miss Jiang could too, she found the tomb of Long Chen back then, but it is estimated that she is about to become Chen Haotian's wife, how can she have time to help here? As for Feng Nianke, I can't wait to hide far away, how can I take the initiative to find her.

We walked aimlessly on the mountain, and Uncle Jiang asked: "Xiaolong, I read what is written in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the protagonists are all looking at feng shui and looking for graves, but we seem to be walking around." ”

"Uncle, you also read novels? But you know, it's a novel, after all. Besides, I'm a Taoist heir, not a tomb robber, so I don't know that kind of technology. ”

I don't know if it's, it's amazing. It turns out that Uncle Jiang is also a wonderful, he is in his forties, and he likes to read tomb robbery novels, and he keeps telling me all kinds of tomb robbery novels along the way, and he also said that every time he reads it, his blood is boiling, and he has long wanted to try it himself, and said that if I go to hunt ghosts again in the future, I must bring him, he also wants to see and see.

The conversation box opened, and the relationship between us was a lot closer, I asked some questions about martial arts, Uncle Jiang was not stingy, and told me some skills in detail, and said that if I am interested, I can learn his gossip chain palm, of course I am very willing to do this kind of thing, so I agreed on the spot
