Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Fifth Man on the Shore
There was a person walking in front of him, but he was a middle-aged uncle, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, a full beard, and a greasy robe, which was really similar to the sand monk in the TV of "Journey to the West".
Because I am the bloodline of the Lingming Stone Monkey, I am a little sensitive to this matter, especially Ma Yiao is still the so-called golden cicada physique, so I subconsciously looked at that person, thinking that this person is one of the members of Journey to the West F4?
However, when I took a closer look, I found that although this person was a cultivator, his ability was low, and he was not a powerful person.
Like this, I can take it down with one hand.
Such a person also dares to call himself a sand monk?
I was a little surprised, and the middle-aged uncle walked into the breakfast shop and said to the boss in the local dialect: "Brother, let's have a bowl of beef soup, add more ingredients, a handful of coriander, and give two more cakes......
The boss greeted and said okay - by the way, Master Sha, these two people are also here for the old ghost case of Liujiaxia Reservoir, you can tell them.
After speaking, he went to serve the soup, and Monk Nasha sat opposite us, glanced at me and Ma Yiao, and said, "Hou Shengzi, this matter is very complicated, and it is not something that you two little dolls can handle. It's a good thing for young people to be curious, but you must do what you can, don't put yourself in it, there are already four people dead in this Liujiaxia, don't be the fifth, you don't know ......"
Ma Yiao asked with interest: "Master Sha, I saw that you also eat meat, why do they call you Monk Sha?" ”
When Monk Sha heard it, he couldn't help laughing, touched his somewhat bald Mediterranean brain, and then said: "Didn't you worship the surname given by your parents, plus my thin hairline at a young age, and "Journey to the West", which is broadcast every summer, makes people call Monk Sha when they see it?" Can't be real, can't be real......"
He was a kind man and easy to talk to, so Ma Yiao started talking to him.
Sha Monk is a god in the local Yongjing, the so-called "god Han", in fact, is the so-called male witch, in ancient times the wizard was used to exorcise the devil, in the present there is also this profession, generally in the countryside, and generally are liars, there are not many people with real skills.
In ancient times, if someone was sick, the patient's family would invite the gods to perform an exorcism dance to exorcise the sick person from the devil and disease.
It is similar to the goddess in that it belongs to the category of feudal superstition.
However, Monk Sha is not exactly a liar, after all, the liar relies on the upper and lower mouths, and he completely relies on mixing, and he still has some cultivation.
In addition to helping the villagers pray for blessings and exorcism, he will also bring some disciples to ask them to practice the means of tuna and strengthen their bodies, similar to a martial arts hall, which is also a legitimate profession, and their status in the local area is relatively high.
It is said that as soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he knows if there is one, Ma Yiao has the heart to find a guide in the local area, and wants to find the puppy quickly, so he deliberately talks with Monk Sha.
The two went back and forth, and between the words, Ma Yiao's true ability was revealed.
At the beginning, the monk of Nasha was quite snub to us, just two boys who didn't know the height of the sky, and then found that this beautiful man like a woman was actually a person with real skills, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, put down the beef soup he was drinking, stood up, and arched his hand and said: "In Xiasha Tonghai, Yongjing people, dare to ask Mr. Daming?" ”
Because of Huang Quan's reasons, Ma Yiao didn't dare to report his name, so he had to take his junior brother out to block the gun: "In Xia Zhong Huang, I studied under Xiangnan Qixia Wang Chao'an, this is my friend Monkey Dasheng, this time I came over, mainly to find a little brother in Jin Tianguan's party, called Jian Dayong." ”
Monk Sha was stunned for a moment, and said that you didn't come here to solve the case?
Ma Yiao smiled and said no, we only knew that there was such a thing when we arrived here, but since we encountered it, we inevitably had to go through it - there are no ghosts in the world, mediocre people disturb themselves, this reservoir case is so mysterious, but in the end, it is estimated that it is still a man-made disaster, not a substitute for the dead.
I nodded, and said yes, if you are looking for a replacement for the dead ghost, one is enough, why bother looking for as many as four in a row?
Monk Sha is not good at judging in front of the breakfast shop owner, so although he agrees with me and Ma Yiao's words, he doesn't express his position, just says okay, I also have a few friends in this township, and after breakfast, I will take you to find someone.
After eating the hot beef soup, we rushed to check out, but the boss waved his hand and said Hey, you all came to help us, eat a few bites of beef soup from me, and what money do you give? Isn't that a shame on me?
We shirked it, but the boss resolutely refused to accept it and had no choice but to leave.
The simplicity of the folk customs in the northwest can be seen.
Out of the breakfast shop, Monk Sha took us to find the local villagers, that is, the people who invited him over, and the people who went to Jincheng Jintianguan to invite Xianming Zhenren were also their group of people, but they didn't know who it was.
As long as we find someone, we will be able to know the whereabouts of the real person and the friend we are looking for.
We followed Monk Sha to the end of the village street, and came to a compound, Monk Sha stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, someone inside asked, "Who?" ”
Monk Sha opened his mouth and said that it was me, Monk Sha, who came to see what was going on.
There was a rush of footsteps inside, and then the door opened, and two young people, holding an old man, saw Monk Sha, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Master Sha, are you here?" Sit inside, sit inside. ”
Monk Sha waved his hand and said no, I'll come over and ask you something.
The villager said, "What? ”
Monk Sha suddenly made a difficulty: "This reservoir is haunted, since you have found me, I will definitely handle this matter for you properly, why do you have to go to the city to find some Taoist priest from Jintianguan?" ”
The villager was stunned for a moment, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said this, this...... Master Sha, isn't this the time to look for you that day, you went somewhere else, I don't know when you can come over, are we in a hurry?
Monk Sha said that it can't be a few women, right? I heard that in addition to Jin Tianguan, other people were invited?
The villager was even more embarrassed, hesitant, and didn't dare to answer.
Monk Nasha took the initiative, and then changed his words, and suddenly asked: "By the way, is it a real person from Jin Tianguan?" ”
The villager nodded, yes, yes.
Monk Sha asked again: "Is there a white and chubby young man beside him?" ”
The villager said yes, how do you know?
Monk Sha said that people, these two friends around me came to find that young man.
The villager pointed to the southwest direction and said, "There are a few families here, and they all go to the reservoir to squat, and I will ask my big pillar to take you there." ”
Monk Sha was satisfied and said okay.
The villager called his eldest son, drove a three-wheeled agricultural vehicle, and took us to the reservoir.
When we arrived at the reservoir, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, it was cold in the northwest, and the cold was quite heavy at this time, so we got off the car on the south bank of the reservoir and walked for more than 20 minutes before we arrived at the edge of the reservoir and saw a group of people gathered on the shore.
When we walked over and found that there were villagers and people who were obviously cultivators, Monk Sha saw it, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled a person and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The man, apparently knowing Monk Sha, replied, "One more person died, the fifth." ”
Monk Sha was shocked, saying so arrogant? Didn't you invite a lot of people to come? With so many people watching, why is this happening?
When a woman in her fifties heard this, she couldn't help but say, "You Sha Tonghai said lightly, the shoreline of this reservoir is fifty or sixty kilometers, even if we have wings, we can't take care of the overall situation." ”
The few people next to him were quite angry, and said yes, yes, you Sha Monk has the ability, you come.
Monk Sha listened, and these guys who were obviously peers quarreled directly, the scene was lively, I looked left and right, and did not find a puppy, nor a person wearing a robe, hurriedly waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Don't quarrel first, do you know where the Taoist chief of Jin Tianguan is?" ”
Someone replied that Xianming Zhenren probably found some clues, and after coming to check on the deceased, he led people to chase them to the south.
Ma Yiao asked, "How long have you been walking?" ”
Someone replied, "It must have been more than an hour."
Ma Yiao was quite big, thought about it, and asked, "Did you say where to go?" ”
The man said Hey, the old Taoist priest was chattering, for fear that we would follow and ruin his credit, where would he tell us?
This person obviously has an opinion about Xianming Zhenren, and I also know that this group of people came to help, not to learn from Lei Feng's good example, the villagers have made money, and if anyone solves this case, they can get 20,000 yuan.
This money was a lot of money in the northwest frontier at that time, and it was a lot of money, so people flocked to it.
Ma Yiao thought for a while and said to me: "I'll go to the south to have a look, you wait here, they may come back, let's keep in touch at any time." ”
I hesitated, nodded and said yes.
Ma Yiao left, and it didn't take long for the police to come here to survey and protect the scene, but for Monk Sha, they were quite polite, not only did they not drive away, but the old policeman who led the team also came over to scatter smoke and talk a few words.
During this period, everyone was not idle, searching everywhere, and I was beside me, and I also heard a lot of news.
After the police surveyed the scene, they were about to leave with the drowning deceased, but at this time, the cold wind blew, and the drowning man's body suddenly sat up straight and let out a strange laugh.
桀、桀、桀......
