Chapter 34: The Great Monk Disappears
When I heard this, I couldn't help but complain to myself, is it popular to disappear these days? Rhubarb disappeared first, and now the old cat can't be contacted, so that's it. Why is this old bald donkey missing?
I quickly asked, "Don't you have contact with him?" Is it possible that you Wang family's powerful ghosts can't even find an old monk? ”
Wang Chengqian smiled, but there was obviously dissatisfaction in his voice, and he said slowly: "The place where Lingzhao went is actually beyond the control of our Wang family. As you know, the line he went to had just opened, and we weren't familiar with it, so it would be very difficult for us to find him once we lost contact with Lingzhao. ”
The line that Lingzhao went to is actually Line 7, which was opened for operation at the end of last year, and this line is in the south of the city, east-west, which is the latest line in the subway. The pool is long and he rows.
Just a few days before the line opened, a violent fire broke out at one of the stations. It was very serious, but fortunately there were no casualties, and the incident was also reported in the news, and the official explanation given at the time was that the cooling tower was on fire.
However, there are a lot of weirdness in this incident, because in the days before the opening of the subway, the security checks at each station were actually the strictest. Fires don't break out easily anyway.
But this accident also confirms the fact that every new line is opened. Something not so good will happen.
Now Lingzhao disappeared on this line, and it is certainly not an accident.
And there is another coincidental problem, that is, the place where Rhubarb first sent out the same city express is near that line!
The location of the rhubarb is in the white paper workshop, and the nearby is exactly that line, and the old cat obviously went to Nancheng, and then lost contact with me.
From this point of view, Rhubarb, Old Cat, Lingzhao, the places where these three people disappeared are more or less similar.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. Wang Chengqian saw that I bowed my head and was silent, so he asked, "What's wrong Lin Yang." Did you notice something wrong? ”
I shook my head, I didn't need to tell the old eunuch about Rhubarb's disappearance, so I digressed the topic and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that this route is in Nancheng, and Nancheng has always been a place where supernatural events are frequent, and Lingzhao's disappearance will have something to do with the Bai family?" ”
Wang Chengqian nodded and said: "Of course it has something to do with the Bai family, that Bai Ergu's methods are notoriously ruthless, although she has not been to the underworld much in recent decades, but she has always been prestigious." Lin Yang, our Wang family has not officially torn up with the Bai family yet, and there are many things that are inconvenient to do, so I came here today to ask you to help me with this. ”
I didn't expect the old eunuch to be so condescending and noble, and to say such sincere words to a flat-headed boy like me, and I suddenly felt a little fluttering.
I smiled and said, "Father-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that even the eight masters of Lingzhao Hall have disappeared, and you let me go again, aren't you afraid of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?" ”
Wang Chengqian smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lin Yang, if you go, it will be fine." ”
I couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Wang Chengqian grinned and said, "This time we will secretly protect you, if the people of the Bai family want to do something to you, then we can immediately turn against them and ensure your safety." ”
I was a little confused and asked, "Since you already have plans to turn your face against them, why don't you just turn your face and let me be the fuse?" ”
Wang Chengqian said: "You don't understand this, there are rules in the underworld, if we directly turn against the Bai family, then it will be regarded as infighting in the underworld, and if we are held accountable in the future, our Wang family and the Bai family will be guilty of the same crime." But if the Bai family does it to you first, then it can be regarded as if they murdered the people in the yang world without authorization, and then we will do it, that is, to maintain the order of the yin and yang worlds, not only is it not guilty, but it is meritorious. ”
Only then did I understand the conspiracy of this old eunuch, and it is no wonder that the Wang family has always wanted to ally with me, just like the messenger said at the beginning, the order of the underworld is really very strict, and ordinary ghosts in the underworld cannot easily murder the people of the underworld, otherwise they will be punished, and the reason why I am a pawn of the Wang family is largely due to this reason.
I nodded, but I also felt that the Wang family's request was not excessive, plus I thought that Rhubarb and Lao Mao must also be near Line 7, so after thinking about it, I said: "Let me go to the great monk, yes, when will I leave?" ”
Wang Chengqian glanced at the watch in the living room and said, "It's not possible today, I'll go and make arrangements, Line 7 will end its operation at 11:15 every night, and I will send you there at half past eleven tomorrow night, and there will be professionals to connect with you at that time." I'm watching you in the dark, rest assured, you'll never be fine. ”
I nodded, got up and saw off the old eunuch, and my heart rippled again.
Bai Family, Bai Ergu, Line 7...... These people who have disappeared, I think there must be another conspiracy of the Bai family, in this underworld, the Bai family seems to be making the last resistance.
The next day, I told Mengyun that I was going to go out to run errands at night, and because I was afraid of being alone, Mengyun decided to go home for a while. After sending Mengyun away, I didn't have to worry about her comfort, so I just sat in the living room and waited quietly.
At about half past ten in the evening, there was a knock on the door, and I opened the door to take a look, only to see Wang Rujun's little secretary Deng Junxian standing at the door in a suit and leather shoes, looking at me with a smile on his face.
I was stunned and asked, "Why are you here?" Don't you have to accompany Wang Rujun? ”
Deng Junxian smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Wang has other arrangements today, so I don't need to do it." I will accompany and cooperate with Mr. Lin throughout the whole process today. ”
I smiled, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, I had met Deng Junxian twice, but I couldn't even tell if he was a human or a ghost. It stands to reason that if this guy is a living person, then he is too calm, and those powerful ghosts of the Wang family are not shy about talking at all, and he is not the slightest surprised, he is completely his own person. But if he is a ghost and can walk around in broad daylight, Wang Chengqian does not have such ability, doesn't this mean that Deng Junxian is also a powerful character?
Deng Junxian saw that my brows were furrowed, and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have any questions?" ”
I said, "Tell me the truth, are you a human or a ghost?" ”
Deng Junxian hurriedly said: "I am a human, not a ghost, Mr. Lin." ”
I didn't believe it, so I looked him up and down again, and asked again, "That Wang Rujun is a ghost, do you know it?" ”
Unexpectedly, Deng Junxian immediately shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Lin, you are mistaken, Mr. Wang is also a human, not a ghost." ”
As soon as I was told by him, I was stupid, and I thought, how can I still talk nonsense with my eyes open like this? I stared at him and said, "Didn't you hear what I said to Wang Rujun before?" Wang Rujun is really a ghost, I said, you kid, why do you always talk nonsense with your eyes open? ”
Unexpectedly, Deng Junxian still looked innocent, shook his head and said: "I'm sorry Mr. Lin, I can't hear anything that shouldn't be heard, Mr. Wang is indeed a human, not a ghost." ”
I was a little helpless by what he said, and I couldn't help but hang my head, and said in my heart: "This kid is really a natural dog...... and I didn't bother to continue to entangle with him whether it was a human or a ghost, I glanced at my watch and said, "Let's go now?" Go to the old monk? ”
Deng Junxian nodded, stepped aside and said, "Mr. Lin, please." ”
I followed Deng Junxian downstairs, and found that this kid actually drove a Beetle, and there was no one else, I glanced at the car and said, "Why did you drive a two-seater, in case you find the big monk, where do you let him sit?" ”
Deng Junxian smiled, a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I only found this car temporarily, if I meet Master Lingzhao, then I can only ask him to take a taxi and leave." ”
I was a little helpless, so I got into the car with him and galloped all the way towards Nancheng.
Nancheng is relatively backward, and the houses and buildings are all old shapes, and there is such a saying in Beijing, poor Xuanwu and Chongwen, all of which are self-deprecating by the people of Nancheng.
However, I have a deep affection for this place, because my high school alma mater is in Nancheng, for me, Nancheng has a very rich history, culture and atmosphere, which is not comparable to other places, in my opinion, the air in Nancheng is more comfortable to breathe than other places.
After galloping, the brand new subway station of Line 7 has appeared in front of us......
