Chapter 309 Touching the Melon
The paper puppet didn't move, and Dorjee and Ji Yuan didn't move either, and now in this situation, it's up to who makes the first move. No one did it first, and they didn't know what they were thinking. I don't know what will happen to them next, what if they really do it? Now we're in their trap.
Ji Yuan turned around, and found nothing, I grinned in pain, and I wanted to faint several times, I wondered why was it so seriously injured this time? Suddenly, Ji Yuan said to Dorjee: "Dorjee, go on, cut him." Dorjee was stunned, looked at Ji Yuan and said, "Old Dao, it's a bit abrupt, right?" Then Dorjee looked at me again, as if asking what I meant. I didn't have time to give him anything, and I didn't pay attention to him.
Ji Yuan said, I think it's on the door beam, but now the paper puppet is under the door beam, and it's not easy for us to check it. Dorjee nodded, and rushed over with a knife. The paper golem didn't even fight back, and withdrew out the door. Ji Yuan was not ambiguous, and immediately rushed to the bottom of the door beam and began to check. I didn't see him make any moves, but he moved a crossbar on the beam of the door, and he heard a rattling sound in the room......
I was taken to the hospital with five broken ribs, but fortunately it didn't break to the lungs. There was also bruising in the lower abdomen, and in this way, I stayed in the big hospital in Yanjing for more than a month, and it was only after I slowly recovered, but I still couldn't get out of bed for a long time, and my body would not feel good even if I stood for a long time. Ji Yuan and Dorjee took turns to accompany me, and one of them had to protect Su Xue.
Two months later, it's almost the New Year. Although my injuries are not completely healed, I can at least walk a few steps, and we will discuss going home for the New Year. Of course, this must be brought with Su Xue, Li Hao also followed us south back to M City, saying that he was afraid of danger.
Back at home in M City, I have been quietly recuperating, during this period, Garland did not call me, which made me very strange, I will not take the initiative to contact her, I am not so good. During this time at home, I also thought a lot, I was our trip to Yanjing, which was very weird. No, it should be said that it is very weird, and in the end, I didn't find who was behind it.
Although I suspect Garland, I lack strong evidence, and I can't wronged people in vain. For me, there is a feeling of no beginning and no end, I don't know how it started at the beginning, and the end is also inexplicable, in the two months that I was hospitalized in Yanjing, Su Xue and Li Hao did not hurt a single hair, and those people seemed to have disappeared, especially the paper puppet, and there was no news at all.
But we still have a gain, which is the paper puppet that I shredded. After our research, the paper used in this paper puppet is all produced in Sichuan, and the workmanship of this paper is very exquisite, just like a layer of oil film on the general paper. And although we can't understand what the incantation is painted inside, we know that the pigment used is also cinnabar and some mixtures produced in Sichuan.
The kind of paper that seems to be like an oil film is no longer available in Sichuan, which is the result of our data search. This kind of craft has been lost for hundreds of years, and the reason for the loss of the book is that the process is too many and complicated, and the role of this thing is also extensive, if anyone depends on this for a living, they will definitely starve to death. But the paper used in this paper puppet that fell into our hands is definitely not a centuries-old thing.
It's definitely new, one hundred percent. The shelf life of this kind of paper will definitely not be hundreds of years, and we can see many clues from the fineness. In addition, the techniques they use are often used in Xiangxi to drive corpses, so we conclude that they must be people from the south, at least they have something to do with the south.
In the end, we locked our eyes on Sichuan, because this kind of paper, the information says that the workmanship has been lost, and now it suddenly pops up, if there is no some origin, will this happen? It's impossible, it's definitely related, I was going to go to Xiangxi, and I think that going there to harvest may not be as big as Sichuan. After all, it's not one or two people who drive out corpses, anyone can teach this mastery, do we still ask one by one?
Now that there are corpses, we can't say that there are none, we can only say that there are very few, the huge Xiangxi, where can we find it? Therefore, we can only start from the material of the paper. This matter must be investigated, this is related to Su Xue's safety, as long as it is related to the safety of the people around me, I will definitely spare no effort.
Now I'm injured and can't move, so I'll have to wait at least until the New Year. In its current form, I don't think I'll be cured after the New Year. However, during this time, although I was physically uncomfortable, I also enjoyed the joy of family, at least I had time to spend with my family, and I could bask in the sun in the yard or something. The most unexpected thing is that He Qingqian, the man in black, is back. I hadn't seen him for almost a year, I couldn't get through on the phone, and the last time he came back, I was still outside, and I didn't see him, so he left in a hurry. The man in black is still the same as when he left, dressed in black, wearing a black mask, and his dark eyes look a little scary.
He came back on a rainy morning. I can't tell how excited I am, he came back this time, I don't want him to go, it's really dangerous to act alone, and there is no one to take care of. Qiao Ling placed tea in the study, and Dorjee and Ji Yuan, the man in black and I, were chatting in the study.
Others, you don't need to participate, it's all a little abnormal. I simply told me all about what happened after he left. After listening to this, he said with a smile: "Qin Ze, it seems that you have grown a lot in the past year." You can see it from your face. I touched my cheek and said, "Yes?" I think I'm a lot fatter than I used to be. ”
The man in black nodded and said, "You can only grow up after experiencing things, at least now you are in charge." I laughed and said, "Senior He, tell me about what you have gained from this outing." The man in black sighed and said, "I didn't gain anything this time, you just mentioned that when you were in Macau, you encountered a block, which was to worship foxes?" I nodded, then glanced at Dorjee, who stood up and opened the door of the study and looked around. Then he closed the door again and nodded to me.
I said: "At the beginning, I thought that this matter had something to do with Hu Yin, after all, now the relationship between the two of us is not ordinary, and I don't dare to ask about it, so I will let go of this matter, by the way, I still have a face here." So, I took out the photos I had taken with my phone and showed them to the man in black. The man in black took a look, took a deep breath and said, "This, I also saw it by accident when I was in Ningxia, but there were too many of them at that time, so I didn't get too close." ”
I sighed and said, "Yes, that organization should have some contact with Ningxia, after I destroyed the den in Macau, there was a person who seemed to be secretly coming from Ningxia, but in the end I killed him, how did you meet it?" The man in black took a deep breath and said, "That was when I arrived in Ningxia, and I accidentally met a group of people from the Daomen, who were very mysterious, and they were all active at night. And they all left a secret code for contact in some public places. I was also curious, so I followed them to see what these people were doing. ”
"On the outskirts of Ningxia, there is a place called Erlikou, and this example has a small hill. There were a lot of them, men and women, and they were camping, and in the middle of the night I saw them all gathered together, and a bronze statue was brought out. Everyone started to worship, and the statue was the same as the one in your picture. At that time, I didn't think much about it, I thought it was a rather peculiar cult organization at most, and I didn't think that it had anything to do with Hu Yin, after all, this world is very big, and Hu Yin is not the only nine-tailed fox. ”
I nodded and said, "I didn't dare to ask Hu Yin too directly, I was afraid that it would affect the relationship we had built up with great difficulty, besides, now she hasn't done anything unfavorable to us, if she has a relationship with those people, she still uses such painstaking efforts to mix in us?" The man in black smiled and said, "This is not in a hurry, let's do what you are anxious about first." ”
I smiled and said, "You've been out for more than a year, have you encountered any strange things?" The man in black laughed and said: "The things I encountered are all trivial, not as earth-shattering as the ones you have encountered, and I will have the opportunity to tell you about it in the future, and the most important thing now is when to leave for Sichuan." I sighed and cried and said, "Look at my situation, I guess I will have to wait for a few months, you will only come back today, so you can rest and rest, just as we need help." ”
Ji Yuan interjected and said: "Your injury this time is not light, you can take care of your injuries at home, and leave everything to us." Dorjee hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, as long as you give money, nothing is a problem." I snorted Dorjee and said, "When the flowers are finished, you all go and ask me for food." ”
In this way, the man in black did not live in this villa, after all, he had some holidays with Hu Yin. He lived in our old apartment. That's it, day by day, the man in black came to the villa to chat with us, Ji Yuan went to study Danshu with Xu Fu in the basement more often, Dorjee was mostly with Xiao Xia, and I was recuperating.
It is said that I live day by day, living a plain and happy life, this is the life mode I pursue. My body is also healing day by day. During the period, there are the merits of Ji Yuan and Hu Yin. She doesn't know what she gives me every day, it's all black powder, it's bitter and bitter in her mouth, and she won't give me any poison anyway, I'll eat whatever I give.
In March, that is, in April of the solar calendar, we are ready to go to Sichuan. Su Xue has been living in the villa, not for anything else, just for safety. Li Hao's family has money, and he also bought a house in M City, saying that he is resident in M City, but he spends most of his time playing in the villa and has nothing to do every day. On this trip to Sichuan, there were five of us, and in addition to our own people, we also added the tail of Li Hao.
This is what he asked, and he had to go with him. I thought to myself: "Go and save Don't, anyway, there are a lot of us, and in the past half a year, I have also instilled a lot of Taoist knowledge in him, at least he won't be like an idiot who can't tell the difference between the living and the zombies, and whether he can deal with it or not, at least there is no problem with escaping." ”
In mid-April, we packed up our gear and headed to Sichuan. is to find out the origin of this thing, and then follow the vine, we must find out and eliminate the group of people who fell to us in Yanjingyin. I didn't make any big moves in Yanjing, but I was by others, and I couldn't swallow this breath in my heart. I've never been so badly injured since my debut, and I've almost died, so I really can't explain myself.
Garland never contacted me, as if he had disappeared. The guards contacted me once, that is, they came back from Xiangxi, saying that they had gained a lot and received a little injury, but it was not a big problem, after all, they often walked by the river, how could there be no wet shoes? In our line of work, it's okay to get a little injured. I thought, the Stargazing Club is now a guard this regrettable general, there will be fewer opportunities to use me, who knows that during the period, Sun Lao called me more than once to ask me to go to Yanjing to assign tasks to me, but I was returned on the grounds that I was not feeling well, Yanjing, I don't want to go again.
I think it's better than the deep mountains and old forests, at least it's okay to move a little bigger, and it won't alarm many people. The more sparsely populated it is, the more I like it, so that I won't be tied down. This Li Hao, after studying for a few months, he is a self-proclaimed Taoist person, I am embarrassed for him, anyway, this guy is thick-skinned, and he dares to brag about anything, sometimes this kind of person deals with people, which is very beneficial. At least it's much stronger than my rectum.
The information we found was that the paper used by the paper puppet was a specialty of a place called Wenchuan in Sichuan. To be precise, it is not this place in Wenchuan, but a place called Luya that is some distance away from Wenchuan. I checked this place on the Internet, saying that it has been abandoned, no one lives in that place anymore, this place is about ten miles away from Wenchuan, there is no road, it is all rugged mountain roads, we want to get to this place, we must first go to Wenchuan, and then hike to this place called Luya, legend has it that those papers were made in this place a long time ago.
It's about the aura of heaven and earth in this place.,For these.,I don't believe it at all.,When we get there.,It's estimated that we'll be able to find out something.,I hope you don't disappoint us.。
