Chapter Twenty-Four: Preparing to Enter the Mountain
(for @凯 加更)
After sobering up, Ma Qi comforted his mother, followed us to the courtyard, and said to me, "I'm sorry." ”
I spat on my face and was very depressed, but I couldn't bother with an old man who cared for a calf, and after simply washing it in the faucet, I didn't care anymore and said it was okay.
Then Ma Qi gave up his hand to Ma Yiao, saying that I have lost my soul for so many days, if it weren't for Brother Tai to help summon the soul, I am afraid that this life will be muddy, Brother Ma, you have the grace of reinvention for me, please accept my gift.
He bowed to the ground, Ma Yiao accepted it peacefully, and then said: "We don't have nothing else to ask for to save you, there may be a murderer of our friend in the leprosy village, so I will come to you and ask what the situation is inside." ”
Ma Qi was not surprised when he heard this, but he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I don't know much about what is going on inside. ”
Ma Yiao said that whatever you know, just say anything, it doesn't matter.
Ma Qi organized the words for a while, and then talked to us about his trip to Wuzhi Mountain Jinglong Village.
In fact, he was looking for his cousin.
Although he and his cousin are separated by age, their relationship is very good, the reason for this is because when his uncle was before, he has always taken care of their family, and later after the death of his uncle, Ma Qi worshiped the master because of a coincidence, and he has been taking care of his uncle's family.
This time, my cousin went camping with seven or eight college classmates, but disappeared in the area of Jinglong Village, and when he heard it, he immediately called the police, but in the absence of any results, he got the idea of going to the village to investigate.
One thing that needs to be mentioned in particular, contrary to the rumors outside, his cousin was not trafficked, and she was not the only one who disappeared together, but also three other female classmates and four male classmates.
Four men and four women, this combination is like a domestic low-budget horror film.
Ma Qi is a cultivator, in the early years with a traveling Taoist priest to learn, and then the Taoist priest died, he returned to his hometown, felt that he had some ability, the art master was bold, and he went.
The rumor was right, he found two of his cousin's male classmates in a cave near the village of Najinglong.
To be precise, it should be a corpse.
The corpses that have been dead for many days, one of them, also formed a giant view.
What is the Giant View?
To put it simply, it is the putrefactive bacteria that live in the human body, lose the control of the human immune system and grow and multiply wildly, the soft tissues of the whole body are full of putrefactive gas, the face is swollen, the eyes are protruding, the lips are enlarged and turned out, the tip of the tongue is protruding, the chest and abdomen are bulging, the abdominal wall is tight, the limbs are thickened, the skin is dirty green, the putrefactive venous network is common, the subcutaneous tissues and muscles are emphysematous, and the skin of some hands and feet can fall off in the shape of gloves and socks, and the whole corpse is swollen and swollen into giants......
The above one is Ma Yiao's explanation, after all, he is a student of biology, and in Ma Qikou, it becomes an evil ritual - the people of the leprosy village hope to heal their illnesses by sacrificing evil spirits.
In the cave filled with an extremely foul smell, when Ma Qi found the body, he was also discovered.
The people of the leprosy village chased and killed him, crossing the mountains and mountains, Ma Qi relied on the cultivation he had trained for so many years, barely broke free, and finally fell into the deep pool under the cliff before he escaped.
But this fall made him a mess, and he went home by instinct, but he was crazy.
If Ma Yiao hadn't woken him up with the method of "drinking in the head" just now, I am afraid that he would not know how much time it would take to break free.
After listening to Ma Qi's narration, we all fell silent.
I instinctively feel that there are many contradictions and unjustifiable things in Ma Qi's narration, especially the fact that he lost his soul when he fell into the cold pool, but he was able to find his home with instinct, which is even more suspicious.
If someone really is chasing him, how can he escape?
However, Ma Yiao continued to ask a few questions as if he hadn't paid attention.
These questions all revolve around the people, strength, characters and everything related to the leprosy village, and these are very confusing in Ma Qi's mouth, probably because he himself is still in a daze.
After asking almost the question, Ma Xiaolong asked, "Your cousin, are you still in that place?" ”
Ma Qi smiled bitterly and said Who knows, maybe he has been killed.
With that, he looked at us and asked cautiously, "Are you going there?" If you go, I can be your guide. ”
Ma Yiao stared at him and said You are not afraid?
Ma Qi said: "I followed the master to the north and south, I have still seen the world, I know that I can lose anything, and I can't fall into the guts; Besides, I think you are all powerful people, and if my cousin is still alive with you, she should still be saved. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Call the police, isn't it useless?" ”
Ma Qi said bitterly: "That place, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, it is inaccessible, it is difficult for ordinary people to set foot in, and the police force is limited, the last time the police followed the people of the local civil affairs bureau once, but they did not dare to enter the village, and the group of lepers who were blocked at the door were so frightened that they fled in the desert......"
This......
I didn't know what to say, but Ma Yiao said: "In the past two days, take a rest first, and then come to you when we decide to go." ”
Ma Qi nodded and said expectantly: "You can come over at any time, I have always been here." ”
After leaving Ma Qi's house, I asked Ma Yiao, saying that he was really crazy like that before, or was he pretending?
Ma Yiao said to me, "It's true. ”
Ma Xiaolong asked him, why did he wait two days, can't he leave now? Do you want to wait until the Nanhai Guanyin Puja is over? If so, will the daylilies be cold?
Ma Yiao pondered for a moment before answering: "There are some reasons, but not all of them - there are many things wrong with this Ma Qi's words, and whether these are true or false have to be pondered; As for the time, in fact, after so long, what should have happened has already happened, so we have to hold back our temperament, don't worry. ”
He is a person with the demeanor of a general, calm and calm, Ma Xiaolong was originally a little anxious, but when he said this, he was no longer nervous, and nodded and said okay.
When we returned to the venue at Nanshan Temple, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and at five o'clock the first day of the trade fair was about to end, we found Li An'an, she told us that the auction of clues in the secret realm of Yujiang made the atmosphere of the festival extremely tense, and both sides of the transaction had been protected, and several groups of people came successively, wanting to buy the news from Hu Bawan's hands, but they were all rejected - most of those waves of people were Hong Kong and Taiwan giants, and one was a family from Taishan.
In addition, some people from the court also tried to come and contact, but they were also politely refused.
Around 2,000 years ago, whether it was the Tianji Department or the relevant departments such as the Director's Bureau behind it, they were still only in the initial stage, and there were not enough people, not to mention the later prestige, many rivers and lakes were reckless, and they would not have special respect for the majesty of the court.
Forget it, in order to avoid harmony, I won't delve into it here.
Some people want to find a way from the buyer, and some people are ready to start from the seller - after all, this matter is very serious, but the address of a secret realm is just a matter of words.
As long as the young man named "Qin Dongjun" was willing to speak, the gang didn't care if he was willing to bring it over in person.
However, at this time, the organizers of the Nanhai Guanyin Festival have demonstrated absolutely superb qualities.
Including the abbot of Nanshan Temple, as well as several elders of the rivers and lakes who took the lead in setting up the line, they have expressed to the outside that in order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, they will intervene in this matter to ensure that the interests of the buyer and seller are not infringed.
In other words, even if the young man named Qin Dongjun had any messy ideas, the organizers did not agree.
Who is the organizer?
In addition to Fang Hao of Nanshan Temple, there are a few other people, each of whom pronounces his name, and they are all famous people, stomping their feet, and half of the rivers and lakes of South China will tremble.
Those who dare to play tricks must first face their anger.
After thinking about it like this, things became much calmer.
After we knew that we couldn't find out the specific news, we didn't think much about it, and after the meeting ended, we went back to the resort hotel first.
At dinner, everyone got together, took out the information they got and analyzed it, and discussed the next countermeasures, and as soon as I came back, I found the front desk to ask, knowing that Suzaku still hadn't come back, and I was more or less disappointed in my heart.
Where the hell did she go?
On a normal day, I wouldn't have thought too much, but during the Nanhai Guanyin Festival, there were so many people and practitioners in the Yashan area that if something went wrong, I guess I was going crazy.
But what's the use of worrying?
I was depressed, and in the next two days, I was not very happy, no matter what was new, or the auction things, I didn't care much, and at the end of the afternoon of the third day, I didn't have the heart to care about the vigorous "Millennium Ganoderma Auction" and "Best Dragon Pill Pill" incidents, and the whole person was not in the state.
It wasn't until the end that we drove to Ma Qi's house, and learned from his wife that the person had left with a baby-faced boy, and we came back to our senses.
Through side inquiry, we can judge that the person who left with Ma Qi was Tang Dao, the official Tang Dao, the boy who liked to drink AD calcium milk.
Everyone was silent outside the courtyard for a while, and then Ma Xiaolong asked, "What should I do?" ”
Ma Yiao didn't hesitate and said directly: "Let's go too, go into the mountain." ”
