Chapter 34: The Death of the Praying Mantis
[Tang Tang wishes all readers and friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family! 】
Li Shitong took the stack of things, and carefully peeled off the tightly wrapped oil paper on the outside, revealing a piece of black brocade inside.
Li Shitong took out the Shenzhang brocade silk and handed it to Ye Lao, Ye Lao hurriedly held the Shenzhang brocade silk with both hands, spread it out, and looked at it carefully.
I saw that what was drawn above was an incomplete map, and the drawing style of the map was almost exactly the same as the remnant of the ancient tomb on the back of the secret map of Qianling.
"It's really a remnant of the ancient tomb!" Ye Lao said excitedly.
Li Shitong said with a serious expression: "The old man will hand over this map to you, and it is up to you whether you can stop this human catastrophe." Remember, no matter what, you can't let this tomb remnant fall into the hands of the people in the ghost path! ”
"Don't worry! As long as Ye still has a breath of air, he will never let this remnant of the ancient tomb fall into the hands of the people in the ghost path! Ye Lao replied firmly as he put away the remnants.
Seeing that it was not early, the three of them said goodbye to Li Shitong and rushed down the mountain.
This trip was originally to find Li Shitong to investigate the murder, but I didn't want to accidentally get the real tomb remnants.
After going back, Ye Lao told Professor Dong the news as soon as possible. At this time, Bo Xinwen was still thinking about the whereabouts of the remnants of the ancient tomb, and he even got a list of Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain during the Republic of China, and according to this list, he investigated and analyzed them one by one, hoping to find some clues from it.
However, after all, it is very old, and the roster is also incomplete, so it is not easy to sort out the clues, just when he was having a headache about this matter, Ye Lao unexpectedly brought back the remnants of the ancient tomb.
Now, the murderer of Changle Zhenren has been found, and the remnants of the ancient tomb have also been obtained, although the Xuanming Divine Stone has not been recovered, but it finally has some clues, after all, after catching six people in the ghost path, maybe something can be judged from them.
After Yu Fei and the others returned from Yingxiu Town, Professor Dong, Bo Xinwen and Li Qiang rushed back to Beijing with the remnants of the ancient tomb to report the trip to Sichuan to their superiors. The Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department sent people to escort the six people who were caught in the ghost path to Beijing, and the special case team will personally try them at that time.
Since one of the people in the ghost path had mentioned that Yang Protector, who helped the left envoy of the god of the underworld to guard the dragon, was from Gansu, Yu Fei and Ye Lao and his party originally planned to drive directly from Sichuan to Gansu to find clues.
Who knew that at this moment, Ding Laosan received a call from Shanghai, and when he finished answering the phone, his face changed dramatically.
"Third, what's wrong?" Ye Lao looked at something wrong, and asked with concern on the side.
Ding Laosan turned his head to Ye Lao a little ignorantly, and said in a daze: "A call from a hospital in Shanghai said that Hao'er and the praying mantis had an accident!" ”
Due to an unexpected situation, Ye Lao and Ding Laosan decided to take a plane to Shanghai immediately, and the knives, swords, magic weapons and other guys they carried with them were transported by the old ghost head and then drove over.
Although Yu Fei and Luo Zi did not have much contact with Ding Hao and the praying mantis, they could be regarded as living and dying together in the Qianling Tomb after all, so they also decided to follow and take a look. However, because they couldn't take the plane with Kun Yuanzi, not to mention that they also carried knives, swords and other prohibited items, so they could only be driven by Luo Zi and the old ghost.
Ye Lao and Ding Laosan had just arrived in Shanghai, and they got a bad news, the praying mantis was seriously injured and its internal organs were seriously damaged, and finally failed to be rescued. And Ding Hao is still in the intensive care unit, but he is temporarily out of danger.
When I went to claim the body of the praying mantis, I saw that he was covered with bruises or scars, and his whole face was rotten, and Ding Laosan couldn't recognize it for a while.
After confirming that it was indeed a praying mantis, Ding Laosan burst into tears, and Ye Lao was also sighing on the side.
The praying mantis followed Ding Laosan at the age of eleven or twelve, and for more than ten years, he followed Ding Laosan several times to be born and died, and escaped death many times.
Ding Laosan clenched his fists angrily, although those who did their job had long put life and death aside, but the praying mantis died so tragically, Ding Laosan was unwilling no matter what, he decided to find out the truth and avenge the praying mantis!
After coming out of the morgue, the three of them came to Ding Hao's hospital bed again, Ding Hao had just woken up at this time, he had been in a coma before, looking at his whole body wrapped like a mummy-like gauze, Ding Laosan was very distressed, fortunately Ding Hao's brain was still clear, and he recognized them at a glance, he shouted at Ding Laosan hard: "Uncle ......"
Ding Laosan hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly, "Hao'er, what's going on?" Who did this to you? ”
Ding Hao opened his mouth and said slowly: "Uncle, we ...... Let...... Let people rob the road......" Speaking of this, Ding Hao couldn't go on. Ding Laosan wanted to continue to ask, but was stopped by the nurse next to him: "He has just woken up now, his body is still very weak, and it is not suitable to talk too much, if there is anything to say, let's wait for his body to recover a little before asking." The patient needs to rest now, please go out first. ”
The three of them had to retreat from the ward first.
Ding Laosan scolded angrily: "Damn! What kind of person is it that dares to rob Lao Tzu's way! Let Lao Tzu find out, and he will be torn to pieces! ”
"Third child, calm down first! Do you know what Hao'er and they are touching this time? Ye Lao asked on the side.
"Damn, he said it was a small ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, I don't know what he dug up from there! Wait, fucking that's not right! Ding Laosan was suddenly stunned, as if he had thought of something.
"What's wrong?"
"When Hao'er and the mantis left, they said that the ancient tomb was in northern Guangdong, but how could they come to Shanghai, and it hurt people like this, the mantis is still ......" Speaking of the mantis, Ding Laosan's nose twitched a few times, he held back his tears, and continued: "Damn! Hao'er, they must have touched some national treasure, and they want to hide from Lao Tzu to get a high price for takeaway from Shanghai, this bastard thing! ”
Although Ding Laosan has touched countless gold in his life and resold many cultural relics, if he touches something at the national treasure level, he never sells it, but only sells it to a few domestic collectors, or directly donates it to museums. Although he couldn't sell it for such a high price, in his heart, these things were heirlooms left by his ancestors, and he must not let them go abroad.
