"So you're going back, aren't you?" I asked.

"Hmm."

"What about Gao Qien?" I asked.

"He went back with me." Wan Jinshan said.

"Well, you say..."

"At that time, Gao Qien had been with me for some years. He shaved off his beard and wore the clothes of modern people. The way of life is not much different from modern people, so no one knows that he is an ancient person. When we returned to ×× City, the master said that it was an old worker in the city who won the lottery, and the huge amount of money was very large, and he asked me if I wanted it. Don't you need to ask, don't have money, unless I'm a fool. The mage said that if you want, you should act as soon as possible, because there are many people who are playing with the idea of that money, pulling the old man to invest or something. It is said that the old man has already promised money to a boss, and the contract has been signed... I wondered how he was so enthusiastic about my business all of a sudden. I asked him, since the contracts have been signed, what do you think? He said he had no idea, he just informed me, while he just signed the contract, the money has not been smashed into the hands of others, hurry up, otherwise it will be late, after this village, there will be no such store, when the time comes, I will get the money, I can share some benefits with him... I finally understood that this grandson was jealous of the money, but he didn't have the ability to get it, so he wanted to borrow my hand and get some benefits from it...

"He made it clear that he just wanted to reap the benefits, so I didn't think much about it. Through side inquiry, the old man did sign a contract with someone else. In addition, the old man has a very good heart, and after getting a huge amount of money, he doesn't recognize his relatives like others, and still lives in the old house of the family home, not to mention, and often sponsors his neighbors. I'm a good guy at catching on other people's weaknesses, and when I learned about the old man's character, I had an idea. I first used means to cause the man who signed the contract with the old man to be hit by a car on the highway and killed. Then, I asked the mage to find a way, both from the front and from the side, to make the old man feel that the money in his hand was unlucky, and that he would die to whoever he wanted. The mage told me that one accident was too rare, and the old man might think that it was just a coincidence, and that another accident should be created before the old man would be convinced. I think that's the reason, so I'll wait for the second person to sign the contract with the old man..."

"Boss Wang of the brick kiln factory." I said.

Wan Jinshan looked at me and said, "Yes, it's him." I was the only one who was dealing with him, but I don't know why, along with him, five workers in his factory also died. I didn't think about it that much, whoever loves to die will die, anyway, it's an accidental death, and it has nothing to do with my fart. As a result, the old man was dumbfounded, thinking that his money was unlucky, and refused to invest it in others. So, I joined forces with the mage and directed a play. First, the mage, under my instruction, tried to get the old man to go to him for help. When the old man arrived, the mage told the old man that his money belonged to a huge amount of money that fell from the sky, and that if it was smashed on anyone, it would bring bad luck to whoever it stood. The old man asked if there was a way to resolve the bad luck, and the mage said yes, but his ability was limited, he knew a master who could help the old man, and then let the old man come over in three days...

"Three days later, at the agreed meeting place, I, the 'master', appeared. I first put on a tall stand to make the old man think that I was very capable. When I felt that the old man was already eighty percent convinced of me, I cut to the chase and told the old man that the way to resolve the bad luck was very simple, since the money fell from the sky, then return it to heaven. Heaven will not treat him badly, and will not only eliminate the bad luck that surrounds him, but also give him another great blessing. The old man asked me what it was. I slowly spit out two words, Yangshou..."

"And then?" I couldn't help but ask.

Then the old man was stunned for a moment. I said, in this world, although money is a good thing, but Yangshou is even more a good thing, it can't be bought with any amount of money, you are so old, it's useless to ask for so much money, it's better to return it to heaven and live a few dozen years longer... Although the old man is a good person and has a good heart, he is not stupid, after all, he has eaten for so many years, and he did not eat for nothing, and he was skeptical of my words. In order to convince the old man, for the sake of that huge sum of money, I decided to take a chance..."

"What?"

"Gao Qien..."Wan Jinshan raised his gaze, "Let Gao Qien come forward and make the old man believe that it is not that I am lying to him if he lives a few dozen years longer, in this world, there are people who live a few hundred years more... Gao Qien agreed to come forward, but he had to talk to the old man alone. I don't know exactly what the two of them talked about. Afterwards, the old man did believe it, but there was another thing that I didn't expect..."

"What's the matter?"

"Gao Qien turned his face against me, he said, I dug him out of the stone room, so that he could see the light of day again, in order to repay me, so he passed on my skills. However, I have not been on the right path, using his ability to pass on my skills to borrow wealth from others, and to harm others in all kinds of ways... Now, I actually hurt such an honest person, he can't bear it anymore. He told me that if I kept doing more injustice, one day, he would take away my skills and go to seclusion in the mountains alone... He told me a lot at the time, saying that although the current society is more developed than in ancient times, although it is colorful, flying in the sky, running on land, diving in the sea, thousands of miles away, they can talk to each other... In the eyes of their dynasty, this is simply a mythical world that can't be imagined, but human beings have everything, but they have lost the most important thing, that is, nature, money is everything, other shameful morality and the like, nothing is important, and they can even show off their incorruptibility and shame in a grand manner, not only will they not be beaten to death by everyone, but will attract all kinds of worship and praise, and even be listed by some people as their own goals and life models... Ever since he got out of trouble, all he has seen is all kinds of ugliness, and he is tired of this world and doesn't want to stay here anymore..."

"He's right," I nodded in a daze, "and then?" ”

"Then—" Wan Jinshan paused, and said slowly, "I'll kill you." ”

"Killing?"

"Yes, since he is tired of this world, then let me send him away. Because, for me personally, he has become a burden to me. What kind of ancient monster he was looking for, I had always been like a slave, running around with him, tired and tired, doing all the useless work, and barely even having time to enjoy life. Right now, he is obstructing me from doing this and that, and he wants to take away my ability, I can't bear it anymore, I decided to get rid of him and send him away... But my ability is all given by him, and I can only lose if I fight him by supernatural means. After thinking about it, I decided to kill him by normal, murderous means. In itself, he is not a person of this world, has no identity, no status, and no family, once I kill him, he will just become a nameless corpse, and nothing will be found. So, I decided to kill him. I tricked him into a remote wilderness, knocked him unconscious, threw him into a thatched house, poured gasoline on him, and set the house on fire... The next morning, after the fire was extinguished, I went to look inside the house, but I didn't see Gao Qien's body at all! ”

"No bodies?" I asked with a frown.

"Well..."Wan Jinshan said, "I obviously watched the fire ignite and engulf the whole house, and then it took a while before I left, Gao Qien didn't escape, the house burned to the extent that it was the back, he couldn't escape again, but I went to see it the next day, but I didn't see the body, even if it was all burned, there should be ashes, but there were no ashes... I was frightened at the time, there was no body, which means that Gao Qien must not be dead, so where did he run away? For fear that he would retaliate against me, for a long time, I did not dare to show my head and went into hiding. The next day, I learned something from the mage..."

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Let me drink saliva," Wan Jinshan said.

Uncle Yang took the water out of his bag and handed it to him. Master's complexion was much better, and he sat up. The moment the Gang Qi and the Divine Rune were waved over before, if the Master hadn't jumped out of the evil circle, the consequences would be unimaginable... Now there is nothing else to do, we are the Lord is to listen to Wan Jinshan's narration, many mysteries, can only rely on his narration to solve for us...

Wan Jinshan drank half a bottle of water and asked me for a cigarette, and then said, "During that time, I have been hiding in the humble residence of one of my lovers, who is a massage technician in the foot bathing city..."

"Her name is Xiao Nan, right?" I asked.

Wan Jinshan glanced at me, "You know everything, yes, it's her." ”

"Well, you go on."

"Xiao Nan's residence, that mage knows. One morning, while I was asleep, the mage passed. I didn't even change my pajamas before I was welcomed into the living room. When he opened his mouth, he asked if Gao Qien had looked for him, and he said no. So what are you doing here? I'll just say. He said that the old man Liu, who won the jackpot, hit the evil spirit. I said, oh? How to hit the evil? He said that one night, Old Man Liu's neighbor saw that he hadn't come out for a day, and he shouldn't knock on the door, so he called a group of people to smash the door open. Later, others asked him, and the old man said that he was originally an official, so he had to have an official uniform, judging from the official uniforms described by the old man's neighbors, it should be from the Ming Dynasty... After hearing about this at the time, I thought in my heart, could it be that Gao Qien was really burned to death, turned into a dead ghost, and ran to haunt that old man Liu? … I talked to the master for a while, and I mentioned this valley in the Taihang Mountains, and the mountain in front of the house that looked like a big rooster from a distance..."

Hearing Wan Jinshan say this, I said in my heart, what I and my master extracted at the beginning, in the image in Xiao Nan's mind before he died, what I saw... Wan Jinshan and the mage sat in the living room and chatted... There is no doubt that it must be the day that Wan Jinshan said at this moment...

"Now, let's talk about the valley." I said, "Why are you here, and what secrets are hidden here?" ”
