Zheng Pei carried a bag of tools, a shovel beside him, leaned on the big tree where Ge Jinting was hiding, and sat on the ground and watched the sunset slowly sink. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info for a moment, he felt that the day would be so beautiful, everything showed its original color in the sun, the water flow was cheerful and lively, and even the wind was mild. The annoyance and anxiety in his heart would gradually melt like ice cubes in the sun, and his smile would gradually appear on his face.

At night, however, it was all different. There are many more things that cannot be seen clearly and cannot be understood in the night, and it seems that even the sound of the water is no longer cheerful, but has become the sound of a whispering conspiracy. Although Zheng Pei's eyes still have good eyesight in the dark that is not inferior to that of the day, no, it should be more insight than during the day. But even so, those people or things hidden in the shadows, with a suspicious expression on their faces, always made him nervous and nervous.

Although he is very accustomed to the night, Zheng Pei always yearns for the light of the day.

The setting sun is like a drowning man, and after an exhausting struggle, it finally slowly sinks into the horizon. The look in Zheng Pei's eyes and the hope in his heart for a peaceful life gradually sank into darkness like this sunset.

The middle-aged man under Boss Lin walked out of the door, lit a cigarette, leaned against the pillar at the door, and observed in the guard room, intentionally or unintentionally.

Zheng Pei was shocked and understood what this person wanted to do. He thought for a moment, carried his things and walked directly into the guard's room without avoiding the middle-aged man's knife-like gaze.

"Uncle Zhang, have you eaten?" Zheng Pei greeted Uncle Zhang with a smile, put the shovel behind the door, and pulled the door of the guard room open, so as to give the middle-aged man a chance to hear the voices of the two of them clearly.

"Oh, Xiao Zheng is here, sit down." Uncle Zhang was very happy to see Zheng Pei coming, and hurriedly broke the freshly washed apple in his hand and handed over half of it.

Zheng Pei and Uncle Zhang chatted while eating, asked a lot about the situation around Cheng Sheng's building, and told Uncle Zhang to rest well, and he would go to the building to patrol the night on his behalf. When Uncle Zhang heard that Zheng Pei was going to patrol the night for him, he hurriedly plugged in the plug of the electric kettle and prepared to boil water to soak his feet. He seriously reminded Zheng Pei to walk quickly to the fourth floor to avoid getting into trouble. Zheng Pei nodded, and seriously instructed Uncle Zhang to go to bed early and not to go out for a walk.

Uncle Zhang settled here, and Zheng Pei's heart was slightly relieved. He walked out of the guard room and met the middle-aged man. But neither of them spoke. Zheng Peili looked at him with a straight and slightly threatening look. And the middle-aged man's gaze had doubt, appreciation, and something complicated, but he didn't say anything. The two staggered by, like unmasked strangers.

A big guy more than three meters long definitely needs a big grave pit.

According to Zheng Pei's judgment, if you want to dig a deep pit more than three meters long near the Cheng Sheng building, then the location will inevitably be in the small forest behind the building.

According to Boss Lin's information, when the Heavenly Master buried the spirit and the Nine Spirit Beads in the tomb pit, in order to let the Nine Spirit Beads release their souls regularly, he deliberately laid four gilded pillars on the sealed soil of the tomb pit. The top of the gilt pillar is slightly exposed to the ground, but the top is carefully concealed. Even if someone knows the secret of this gilded pillar, as long as they do not know the exact location of the grave, it is difficult to find it.

Zheng Pei carefully stepped on every inch of land in the grove with his feet, and even patiently tested the shallow position under the surface with a steel drill more than half a person high, but in the end found nothing.

Zheng Pei straightened up and moved his hands and feet. The long and focused search caused him back pain. But just as he was stretching his waist, Zheng Pei seemed to see a person hiding more than ten meters in front of him.

In the middle of the night, a strict guy with a head and face wrapped in his head, as if he was still holding something in his hand, stared at himself sneakily.

The comer is not good! Zheng Pei gradually covered his body behind a big tree. He continued to poke the steel drill in his hand on the ground, intending to wait for the guy to get close before launching a surprise attack.

The other party did not realize that he had been exposed, and still used the cover of the trees to slowly approach Zheng Pei in the dark. The steel needle in his hand was already clenched, and now he only needed to find a suitable position to launch a sneak attack on Zheng Pei.

Zheng Pei saw that the guy had stopped, and the steel drill in his hand poked into the soil and pried it vigorously, and a large piece of dirt with fine slag went straight to the masked man's head!

When the masked man heard something, he went straight to his front door and quickly dodged away. But his movements were clearly seen by Zheng Pei, and before the masked man could reflexively throw out the steel needle, the steel drill in Zheng Pei's hand had already pressed against his throat.

"Who are you?" Zheng Pei asked in a low voice.

The masked man didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard.

Zheng Pei ripped off the mask of the masked man, but he was caught off guard by a puff of choking smoke, and he went limp and sat down on the ground against a tree.

"Is that you?" Although Zheng Pei has no strength in his body, his consciousness is still relatively clear. Behind that mask was a face he hadn't thought of anyway. But at this time, that face was in front of him, and he couldn't help but believe it.

The other party took out a box of matches, swiped one in front of Zheng Pei, and saw Zheng Pei's face clearly by the light of the fire. He slowly stood up, and said in surprise but not unexpectedly: "Hmph, it's really you kid!" ”

"Zhuang Ming! Why are you plotting against me? Zheng Pei asked indignantly. Although he didn't get along well with this middle-aged man named Zhuang Ming when he was working in Cheng Sheng Building, there was no need for the other party to plot against himself in this kind of place and on this occasion.

Zhuang Ming carefully listened around, and after finding that there was no other unusual movement, he loosened the hand holding the steel needle slightly.

"Zheng Pei, if you are poisoned by me, don't think about running away anymore. Let me ask you, these people from the Yunba Sect and the Immortal Needle Sect were all called by you, right? Zhuang Ming asked coldly. From his tone, it can be known that he does not like Zheng Pei, a young man, whether in the past or now.

Zheng Pei didn't have any strength in his body, but he didn't seem to be very afraid of this Zhuang Ming in front of him. Maybe when he was working, Zheng Pei still had a little respect for Zhuang Ming from juniors to elders. So now, this guy who is holding a steel needle and plotting against himself, Zheng Pei has only resentment left for him.

"Will you believe me when I say it?" Zheng Pei replied coldly, "These people came by themselves, and they have nothing to do with me." ”

Zhuang Ming asked again: "How much do you know about the Nine Soul Beads?" ”

Zheng Pei was stunned for a moment, could it be that the matter of the Nine Soul Beads had spread to the point that everyone knew about it? But Zheng Pei is not the kind of person who lies, he said directly: "I don't know much about the Nine Soul Beads, I only know that it must be around here." ”

Zhuang Ming sighed helplessly, closed the steel needle in his hand and held it upside down, and said, "I thought you were a sensible and simple child, but I didn't expect you to get involved with the Yunba Sect later. Now I started to play the idea of the Nine Soul Beads. Child, Uncle Zhuang didn't treat you well at the beginning, and wanted to drive you away for your own good. But now that you have violated the ban for the sake of the sect, Uncle Zhuang has no choice but to do it. After that, Zhuang Ming grabbed Zheng Pei's head with his left hand, and aimed the upside-down steel needle at Zheng Pei's neck with his right hand, "Child, Uncle Zhuang can't stop it!" ”

Zhuang Ming hesitated, but still raised the steel needle. He aimed at the little acupuncture point under Zheng Pei's earlobe, trying to kill Zheng Pei instantly.

Zheng Pei moved his hands and feet hard, and finally gained a little consciousness. But at this time, he still had little strength in his limbs. Not to mention resisting or running away, I'm afraid that even the strength to turn over is not enough.

The steel needle he saw was about to be pierced, but he only heard a pop, and Zhuang Ming's front chest pierced out a knuckle-length knife. Zhuang Ming vomited blood from his mouth and immediately fell to the ground. His eyes stared straight at Zheng Pei, his eyes full of doubt and unwillingness. But even so, Zhuang Ming has become a dead man. All his stories had faded with the wound on his chest, and all that remained was the blood gushing out of his chest wound, which had soaked a large piece of land.
