Second Master Qi smacked a puff of dry tobacco and said to Sanyuan's daughter-in-law, "Xiuying, that's the case. Professor Wen suspected that the Gu in the village had something to do with last night's tea! ”

"What!?" Sanyuan's daughter-in-law suddenly became anxious, "You shouldn't suspect me of poisoning the tea!" ”

Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, this matter must have nothing to do with my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is just responsible for boiling water to make tea, when the tea is just brewed, because the water temperature is too high, it is not suitable for Gu, so it should be after the tea is cooled before it is Gu." ”

Sanyuan's daughter-in-law thought for a while and said: "A large bucket of tea is soaked in haode in the afternoon, and after it is brewed, it is placed in the yard. ”

Wen Qingshan nodded: "It should be at that time!" At that time, there were many people and things, and if someone took advantage of the chaos to put Gu in the tea barrel, it is estimated that no one would find out. ”

"Who would do that? We didn't offend anyone in Qiping Village! Bai Sanyuan was very puzzled, it was obvious that he didn't know anything about the Dashun Treasure and the Black Demon Sect.

Second Master Qi glanced at him and said, "Sanyuan, you go to the kitchen to help Xiuying prepare dishes, I have something to talk to Huang Daochang and them." ”

Bai Sanyuan had always obeyed his father's words, and he didn't ask Weishenme, and immediately got up and led his daughter-in-law into the kitchen.

Second Master Qi smacked a puff of dry smoke and said slowly: "Professor Wen, do you think that what happened today has anything to do with the gang you said killed Xiao Wu?" ”

Without waiting for Wen Qingshan to answer, Huang Yixian replied first: "Then you don't need to say it!" Apparently those guys did it! Second Master Qi, those guys have already started to start, although we stopped them this time, they will definitely not give up. Because if they want to open the treasure, the villagers of Qiping Village are the biggest obstacle! ”

Second Master Qi muttered: "I really didn't expect these guys to be so vicious!" ”

Huang Yixian took the opportunity to persuade: "Second Master Qi, this Dashun treasure is buried under the village, it is equivalent to a time bomb, maybe it will explode at any time, endangering the lives of the whole village." Therefore, you should cooperate with us to dig it out as soon as possible. This Dashun treasure was originally a treasure plundered by King Chuang from the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and it should also be returned to the state for disposal. ”

Second Master Qi thought for a while, sighed, and said, "Alas, our Bai family has guarded this treasure for more than three hundred years, and we still have to come after all." So far, I won't hide it from you, and I actually know a little bit about the things you mentioned about the Black Demon Cult. ”

"You already knew?" Several of us were taken aback.

Second Master Qi nodded and told us about a past incident that happened more than sixty years ago:

"After the Battle of Yuxianggui, the devils occupied Liangxian County, because Qiping Village was located in a remote area and did not suffer from war. However, one day after the ice and snow in the mountains had just melted, a team of ghost soldiers suddenly came to the village.

The devil gathered the whole village, and set up machine guns on several hills, the villagers thought that the devil was going to slaughter the village, one by one frightened, at this moment, the then Qiyun Guanguan Lord Xugu Zhenren stood up, he said to everyone: 'The imperial army came to Qiping Village, in order to find the legendary treasure of King Chuang, as long as everyone actively cooperates in the search for the treasure, not only will it be fine, but after the treasure is found, everyone will get a large reward. Although the villagers were afraid of the devils, they believed in the words of Xugu Zhenren, so for the next period of time, the young and middle-aged laborers in the village carried a hoe every day and dug around the village to find the so-called treasure of Dashun.

However, more than ten days have passed, not to mention the treasure, not even a silver ingot has been found.

The people in the village began to suspect that maybe the devil had made a mistake, but no one dared to mention it in front of the devil.

At that time, I was still a twelve- or thirteen-year-old doll, although I was young, but I was not small, because those devil soldiers liked to tease me, and when they teased me, they often gave me candy to eat, so I ran to the old house where the devils were stationed every day. One day, I overheard a conversation between Shinto Kuya and a Japanese officer and a mysterious man in black.

Xugu Zhenren called the black-clothed person a holy envoy and kept him silent, even the devil officer was respectful to him, and the black-clothed man questioned Xugu Zhenren, weishenme had been digging for so long, and he still couldn't find the treasure. Xugu Zhenren told the man in black that the treasure was buried near Qiping Village, but he didn't know exactly where it was hidden, and if he wanted to figure it out, he had to go to a nearby cave to find clues. The man in black immediately asked the Japanese officer to send a pair of devil soldiers to search for him in a nearby cave.

At that time, I didn't take their conversation to heart, who knew that after I went home and told my father about it, my father's face suddenly changed, I thought it was very strange, under my questioning, my father told me that the treasure of Dashun is indeed something, and our Bai family will take root in the chessboard valley in order to protect this treasure. However, no one else in the village knew about the existence of the treasure except for him and Xugu Zhenren. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the real people of Xugu would invite devils to explore the treasure. My father also told me that the clues about the treasure were hidden in a cave near Qiping Village.

Later, I eavesdropped on the conversation between Xugu Zhenren and the man in black a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and then I realized that the descendants of Qiyunguan believed in Taoism on the surface, but in fact, they secretly believed in what kind of black ghost religion! They say that it is for King Chuang to guard the treasure, but in fact, it is for the Black Demon Cult to guard this treasure. Moreover, the Black Demon Cult has colluded with the devils, which is why the devil soldiers are recruited.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the team of devil soldiers who went to the cave to find clues to the treasure have never come out since they entered. My father said that it was the mountain god of the Chessboard Valley who was protecting the treasure.

Not long after, the Chinese army began to counterattack, and the devil soldiers saw that they had found nothing, thinking that Xugu Zhenren had deceived them, and abolished one of his legs, so they withdrew.

After this incident, no one has come here to look for treasure for decades, and the people of the village have come to believe that the so-called treasure is nothing more than the unrealistic imagination of the devil at a desperate juncture in Zuihou. But I know that this treasure is real, and I also know that the heirs of Qiyunguan have always harbored evil thoughts. So during the Cultural Revolution, I took the opportunity to break the four olds, led the people in the village to smash the Qiyun Temple, and pulled the third master of the Qiyun Temple back to the village, wanting him to live a normal life again, who knows that for more than 20 years, he almost never interacts with other people in the village, most of the time he locks himself in the house, no one knows what he is doing, let alone what he is thinking.

I thought he was not used to life in the village because he had been in the mountains for too long, but what I didn't expect was that he was still thinking about this treasure, and he had once again attracted people from the Black Demon Sect! ”

After listening to Second Master Qi's story, everyone was shocked. I really didn't expect that as early as more than sixty years ago, the Black Demon Sect had colluded with the Japanese to come to Qiping Village to find a treasure, but it failed to open the treasure after all.

Huang Yixian couldn't help but sigh: "It's really interesting, although the heirs of Qiyunguan keep the secret of the treasure, they only know that there is such a treasure, but they don't know where the treasure is hidden, and in the end, the little devil returned in vain, and he was also wasted a leg." ”

Wen Qingshan said: "This is actually understandable, because as long as it is a person, it is possible to leak the secret of the treasure, so the most comfortable way to keep it secret is to not let anyone know the specific location of the treasure." ”

After pondering for a while, I felt that something was not quite right, and I raised my head and said, "Since the true people of Xugu have lost the trust of the Black Demon Sect in him more than sixty years ago, why does the Black Demon Sect believe in the existence of this treasure again?" There is no evidence, how did Hao Sanye and Bai Xiaowu convince those guys? ”

Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "There are two possibilities, first, Third Master Hao and Bai Xiaowu accidentally obtained some crucial evidence that can fully prove the existence of the treasure. Second, although these guys are also members of the Black Demon Cult this time, they are not the same group as the man in black more than sixty years ago, just like many terrorists who believe in extreme religions now, although they believe in the same doctrine, but they have different factions, presumably the same is the case with the Black Demon Cult. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Second Master Qi said, "In my opinion, it's the same group of people." ”

Wen Qingshan asked puzzledly, "Second Master Qi, why do you think so?" ”

Second Master Qi said: "Because three months ago, I saw the man in black again. ”

Wen Qingshan was slightly stunned: "The man in black? Which man in black? You don't mean the man in black who came with the devil sixty years ago, right? ”

Second Master Qi nodded.

A few of us looked at each other, a little incredulous. Huang Yixian said: "Second Master Qi, you are mistaken! How could it be the same person as more than sixty years ago! If you think about it, you were only a teenager at the time, and now you are in your seventies, so if this guy lived to be now, wouldn't he be a hundred years old! Maybe it's just wearing something like that. ”

However, Second Master Qi insisted and said, "No! No! That's him! I distinctly remember his eyes, which were so unique that they couldn't see the whites of their eyes at all, and they covered almost the entire socket, which was terrifying. When I was a child, I only looked at those eyes once, and after more than half a year, I would still have nightmares. ”

After listening to what Second Master Qi said, Wen Qingshan turned his head and asked Huang Yixian: "Master Huang, what do you think?" ”

Huang Yixian said with a solemn expression: "The eyes are not white, according to the records in the book, they are a sign of demonization. ”
