Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Eight Immortals

The old man stared at Youliang and asked, "Do you want to study, seek money, seek a job, or get married?" ”

"Searching for someone." Arira thought for a while and said.

The old man pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "'Welcome the corpse thousands of miles away, wrap the bones and return', this is the explanation in the "Zizhi Tongjian", you are looking for a dead person, right?" ”

I was horrified with a conscience, I originally thought that it would be good for this fortune-telling old man to be able to say what "Zhu Ying's corpse" meant, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, and I guessed my purpose with just three words.

He nodded, not breathing.

"This man is thousands of miles away." The old man said.

"What's that?"

"In ancient times, it was necessary to find someone to be sacrificed in place of the deceased, which was called a 'corpse', and 'welcoming the corpse' was to welcome the person who was sacrificed to the gods of the deceased. Zhu' is to wish the sorcerer, and the sorcerer to welcome the person who receives the sacrifice is called 'Zhu Ying', do you understand? The old man explained.

Arirashi nodded, roughly understood.

"Look at the typo 'Ying' you wrote, there is an extra skimming in the middle, and it becomes 'Mao'." The old man hehe

"I'll rewrite." Arara said embarrassedly.

"No, this is the will of God, and the 'carry' shows that there are many ways to find people. The explanation of 'Mao' in the "Shuowen", 'Mao also, in February, all things come out of the ground, like the shape of opening the door, so February is the gate of heaven, and all the genus of Mao are from Mao. Therefore, it must be born in February or have a 'two' in the name, and others can't find it. ”

"But I'm a rat, 72 years old." When Ara heard this, his heart was half cold.

Erya interjected on the side at this time: "I belong to the rabbit, and my name is Erya." ”

But isn't it, Erya fully meets the requirements, and she is Sun Simiao's direct descendant, as long as she is with her, she can find the tomb of the Medicine King, and her conscience is suddenly relieved.

"Thousands of miles away, where is that?" He asked urgently.

"Then write another word." The old man said.

With a conscience thinking about the mountain in the mural, he wrote the number "12" casually.

"'Twelve' is noon, the earthly branch is from the fire, one plus two is equal to three, the three numbers of the innate gossip are also away, the direction is south, and it can be found thousands of miles away from the south." I wish you a male witch, there will be a lot of strange things during the period, and the corpse will die under the corpse, and I am afraid that there will be a death, which is too dangerous. The old man shook his head and sighed.

"Do you say you want to die?" was shocked by his conscience, and silently took out five yuan and put it on the cloth stall.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, since the reform and opening up, the remnants of feudal superstition have risen, deliberately sensational and defrauded money, and the leaders of Xi'an City can't care about it, it's pure dereliction of duty." Someone behind him suddenly said.

Youliang looked back, it turned out to be Secretary Xing and Ke'er, and they also slipped out to visit the temple fair.

The old man who measured the word quickly put away the money, narrowed his eyes and stopped talking.

"Let's go, it's lively over there." Ke'er pointed to the noisy crowd and said, I have lived in Guanzhong Dinavel for many years, and now I am very excited to see so many people of all colors.

"Hmph, if it were in our Nong'an County, we would have banned all this dross a long time ago." Secretary Xing muttered angrily.

Sun Yifeng and Li Lin returned to the small hotel in the city in embarrassment after dawn, although the silver needle had been removed, but the meridians were still injured.

"Someone actually secretly used the thirteen needles of the ghost gate to sneak attack, the skill seems to be not shallow, we already have clues anyway, there is no need to fight with them and destroy Lao Bai's long-term plan." Sun Yifeng sat on the bed and said hatefully.

"But we don't have any useful clues." Li Lin reminded.

Sun Yifeng glanced at him vigilantly, and said meaningfully: "Lao Bai's foresight is not something you and I can think of. ”

"Brother Sun, who is Lao Bai, can you reveal a little?"

Sun Yifeng glared at him and did not answer.

Li Lin didn't dare to say anything more, the musk cat's skill was naturally more than one level behind the Qinling black civet cat, and he had to obey his orders.

Sun Yifeng hurriedly went downstairs and hung up the phone at the front desk of the hostel.

"I'm Sun Yifeng."

"Say."

Sun Yifeng lowered his voice and recounted in detail what happened last night.

"Is there a superior person in the secret to help?" Lao Bai asked.

"That's right, this person used the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate to sneak attack us, in order not to affect your long-term plans, so I withdrew back first, and didn't fight with them."

"Well done," Lao Bai said lightly, "Don't worry, everything is under control, you said that fighting corpse is a professor of the Academy of Fine Arts?" ”

"Yes."

"Go and keep an eye on his home, and remember not to be found this time."

"Yes, Lao Bai." Sun Yifeng replied respectfully.

"Hum" the phone hung up over there.

After Sun Yifeng returned to the room, he instructed Li Lin to immediately go to the Shaanxi Academy of Fine Arts to investigate Professor Guan's home address.

In the evening, Li Lin returned.

"Professor Guan is a widower, has no children and no daughters, and lives in a separate courtyard next to the Eight Immortals Nunnery, and it is said that this person has an eccentric temperament and never interacts with people, so he doesn't even have a friend." Li Lin said.

"This is easy to understand, a fighting corpse naturally tries his best to hide his identity to avoid being recognized, and we will go to his house tonight to monitor." Sun Yifeng commanded.

That night, the moonlight was bright, and the two came to the Eight Immortals Nunnery in Changle Fang, at this moment the temple fair had long been dispersed, and only a few Taoist priests were still cleaning up the garbage discarded on the site overnight.

The two of them found the small courtyard of Professor Guan's house according to the house number that Li Lin learned, and the lights had been turned off and they were sleeping, the moonlight was as cool as water, and the surroundings were quiet and silent.

Sun Yifeng inspected the terrain and found that there was no suitable monitoring location, so he pointed to a tall and dense old locust tree outside the wall of the lower courtyard, and the two of them climbed up flexibly one after another, sitting on the thick branches and watching condescendingly.

When the breeze hit, Sun Yifeng's nose sniffed, and whispered: "It turns out that Mei Niang is also here." ”

Li Lin was surprised: "How could Mei Niang get together with them?" ”

"Maybe it's because she injured her and killed the children, this old lady has a very sour temper, and she must hate me to the core." Sun Yifeng frowned.

"But that's fine, as long as they are willing to take Mei Niang in, they can track its scent, and they can't get rid of us wherever they go."

"Well, 'Seon loses his horse, and he doesn't know if it's a blessing'."

At this moment, in the house, Youliang was lying quietly on the bed, and Liu Shisan and Secretary Xing beside him were already asleep, snoring evenly.

During the day, Mr. Quantify's words in the temple fair of the Eight Immortals Nunnery always lingered in his ears, and he said that he was superb, but the person who said that he was a rabbit and had "two" in his name was consistent with Erya, and it should definitely not be just a coincidence, it seems that some of the techniques are quite accurate, not like Liu Shisan's nonsense. He bought a atlas at the temple fair, checked it privately, and thousands of miles to the south, that is, 500 kilometers, he had already come to the Yangtze River. According to the atlas, this area is called the Wushan Mountain Range, and the Yangtze River crosses the period to form the famous Three Gorges. Among them, the northern section of the river is tortuous, the cliffs on both sides are high and the valley is deep and narrow, the sunshine is short, the humidity is not dispersed into clouds and mist, the ancients said that "the sea was once difficult to water, except for Wushan is not a cloud", this is the world-famous "Wushan Twelve Peaks".

Aren't there twelve peaks in the mural?

There is a conscience that the place in the painting should be Wushan, and the cave is the highest goddess peak.

So far, Secretary Xing and Ke'er are trustworthy people, the key is how to get rid of Liu Shisan and Professor Guan, they are by no means kind people, they are good tossing and turning, and they have never been able to think of a proper reason.

The next morning, everyone gathered around the kitchen to eat breakfast.

"I want to go back to Lijiagou." Erya hugged Mei Niang and said suddenly.

"Okay, Xianggong, let's go to Hanzhong to have a look." Ke'er looked at Secretary Xing happily.

"Well, wherever Ke'er wants to play, I'll accompany you." Secretary Xing replied affectionately.

I have a conscience and think, this is fine, and it is much closer to go to Wushan when I get to Hanzhong.

"No, it's too dangerous to do this, and you may meet Sun Yifeng at any time." Professor Guan said categorically.

"I'm just homesick." Erya's eyes were red and she insisted on leaving, and she was tired of being bored in this small yard every day.

"Erya, I'll go back with you." Arira said resolutely.

Liu Shisan's gaze glanced at Professor Guan.

Professor Guan walked into the bedroom without saying a word, dialed the phone in Beijing, and explained the situation.

"You go all the way to Hanzhong, remember, Sun Erya is the only clue to find the tomb of the Medicine King, don't make a mistake." Stern words came from the earpiece.

"Yes, boss," Professor Guan said to everyone, "Alright then, let's go to Hanzhong with Erya." ”

Everyone packed up their clothes, Mei Niang's fat body weighed dozens of pounds, Er Ya found a small bamboo basket to carry on her back, and then went out to the long-distance bus station together.

Sun Yifeng and Li Lin, who were lurking on the old locust tree, silently stared at their distant backs, the other party was finally about to make a move, anyway, they could track Mei Niang's scent, so they didn't have to follow too closely.

The long-distance bus bumped all the way south, looking out the window at the endless golden rape flowers, Er Ya was eager to return to his home, but unfortunately his grandfather was no longer there, leaving him alone, and his eyes were red when he thought about it.

Although the wound on Professor Guan's chest has healed, the damage to his vitality is too great, and he can't catch his breath when he speaks: "Erya, after returning to Lijiagou, I will hypnotize you to see if I can recall some things on the mural." ”

Erya didn't say a word, and looked silently at the endless fields outside the window.

At dusk, Lijiagou finally arrived, and the group walked into the small mountain village.

The aunt next door saw Erya first, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for warmth, blaming her for going out without saying hello, and seeing so many guests, she was very surprised, and was busy cooking. After all, this is a remote mountain village, with closed information and simple and hospitable people.

The children ran to see the excitement, followed by a group of large and small variegated earth dogs, when they met Mei Niang sitting lazily on the threshold, they just watched from a distance and did not dare to come forward, here has never seen such a fat and big-headed cat.
