While Ji Zhengguang turned around to call, I also looked into the yard of my house, and the old crane man who was pushed to the ground by me paced up violently, picked up the shovel behind the door and smashed it on my head.

Ji Zizheng's eyes widened, and it was too late to remind him, and there was a bang. The shovel slapped me on the back of the head.

I turned to look at the old man and asked, "Uncle, your hands aren't numb, are you?" ”

This crane old man was frightened, as if he had seen a ghost, don't look at his age, but his strength is amazing, otherwise he would not have killed so many people, usually his work of knocking on the bricks behind his back is invincible, but this time I asked him if his hands were numb.

The old man roared, put the shovel behind him and was about to hit again, but I didn't move, and his whole person suddenly hit the wall as if he had been hit by a car. My fingers were spread out, his limbs pressed against the wall, and then I jerked my wrist to the side, and the old man's head hit the muddy shrine next to him, and the shrine shattered to the ground. The old crane man's head was bleeding.

Ji Zhengguang pulled out his gun and ran in, making the old man raise his hand and kneel, he took out the handcuffs from behind him and handled the old man to the ground, the old man looked a little crazy, and he shouted: "Those people deserve it." I am rooting out the scourge for society! ”

Only then did Ji Zhengguang completely believe my words, and he knew that there must be corpses under the courtyard.

And Ji Zi and I went to another room, I pulled out the silver needle from the young man's eyebrows, and then stabilized his soul in his body, and the young man opened his eyes and said thank you weakly.

After a while, a group of policemen came in from outside, all of them digging up in the yard with shovels, and half an hour later, a pungent stench of corpses came, and a highly decomposed corpse was seen underneath. And the corpse was covered with some half-dried wormwood.

Ji Zizheng and I took his cousin to the hospital and hung up two bottles of nutrient solution, and in the afternoon he was alive and thanking me, he had not eaten for a few days, and he was already hungry. When we returned to his old house after eating at a restaurant, we saw a group of nearby villagers around the door, and a small policeman running out and vomiting.

Ji Zizheng's cousin glanced inside the door, and then ran to the side to vomit, in the courtyard, lined up one after another decomposed corpses, some have rotted into bones, and there are some rotting maggots on the corpses, at this time the weather in Beijing is close to winter, these maggots have long been frozen to death.

The old man is just an ordinary person, just married an ugly daughter-in-law, and he is also a psychopath, he has been too depressed for a long time, and he has a withdrawn personality, so he is naturally psychologically distorted, and he begins to deceive and kill people of the same kind, and feels that other people are the same as him, and they are also a scourge.

Ji Zi and I said goodbye to his father and cousin, and wanted to go back to my place first, when I passed by an alley and turned in, I suddenly gave birth to a familiar breath in my heart, which was similar to the breath on my body, with Buddha nature.

"This is Bali Hutong?" I suddenly remembered that in Chen Shisan's notes, the place Bali Hutong had been mentioned, and their family lived here.

Chen 13 said that during the period when he practiced Buddha with the snow ape, he came back once, and he bought a big house here for his mother to live in, and that time was the year he returned to the capital to build the plum blossom gun, and at this time in the old house in front of me, there was his breath.

Himeko argued, "Is there anything weird?" ”

I said, "This is the mansion of Chen Shisan's predecessors, go in and have a look." ”

I pushed the door open, the courtyard was deserted, like no one, I shouted a few times but no one answered, and the doors of the surrounding houses were wide open.

In this large courtyard, there is nothing to see except a water tank and an old-fashioned rickshaw, and in the main entrance we are facing is a statue of Buddha, and the incense in front of the altar of the Buddha statue is still smoking, and it is clear that someone has just worshipped it not long ago.

It is really with the Buddha statue in the trace of Chen 13 Buddha spirit, I stepped forward to worship like this Buddha statue, whether it is out of the Buddha or to Chen 13, I have a feeling of sincere admiration.

When Ji Zizheng saw me come forward to worship the Buddha, he also stepped forward and kowtowed reverently.

After we finished worshipping the Buddha, we were about to go to the other room to have a look, when we turned around, we suddenly saw an old man standing behind us silently, looking at us with one eye open and the other blind.

"Ah, uncle, you don't squeak, you're scared to death!" Himeko shouted.

"What are you doing so loudly!" The one-eyed old man asked.

"I'm afraid you're deaf!" Ji Zizheng said.

"I'm blind, and I'm deaf, so what's going on?!" The one-eyed old man was a little angry. "What are you doing in the yard?"

I said, "Uncle, is this yard your home?" ”

The one-eyed old man said, "No, it's my master's." ”

"Your master is Chen Thirteen?" I asked.

The one-eyed old man was taken aback by my words, and he said with a nervous expression: "How do you know that Chen Shisan, this courtyard originally belonged to his family, and now it belongs to Wu Sanjiang's family. ”

"Wu Sanjiang?" I was puzzled and told the story of me and Chen Shisan, because I could see that this one-eyed old man was not an ordinary person, and he had a trace of feng shui master on his body, so he must be able to accept what I said, he was not surprised to hear Chen Shisan's story, and then he told me about the past.

It turned out that more than thirty years ago, Chen Shisan came back from Changbai Mountain, bought this courtyard for his old mother, and invited some servants, he returned to Changbai Mountain not long after breaking into the Snow Demon Ice Palace and found the secret of immortality, but he was reluctant to take the life of the snow ape, so he entered the Snow Demon Ice Palace alone, and fell asleep ever since.

On the night of Chen Thirteen's death, his old mother suddenly woke up from her sleep and cried, she said, "Thirteen is gone after all." ”

That night, Chen's mother died, and before she died, she asked her trusted nephew to cast a Buddhist tablet left by Chen 13 in the statue, saying that her son had told her that someone would come here in the future.

Twenty years later, a young man came to the courtyard with a group of people and bought the courtyard with a relative on the other side of Chen Shisan's mother.

"And then?" I asked.

The one-eyed old man said: "Later, my master Wu Sanjiang took people to Jiangsu, about twelve or thirteen years ago, but in the middle of the night, the master ran back in a panic, he was the only one, I have never seen him scared like this, I asked him what was wrong and he didn't say." Since then, his spirit has been bad, and it has only improved in the past two years. ”

I said, "Your master touched the mountains, didn't he?" ”

The one-eyed old man looked at me in surprise, and saw that I didn't mean to deceive him in my eyes, so he gradually told me about some things about Wu Sanjiang, and I was more and more shocked when I heard it, because this Wu Sanjiang was the little third master in the four factions and nine gates of the capital, and he was famous all over the world more than ten years ago.

And the name of the little third master, I heard it more than ten years ago, when I was in the dragon tomb, someone vaguely mentioned this name, saying that the little third master's team area explored the old well, and the army was wiped out.

I remembered a man.

He went to another room for a long time, and took out a photo of their team, and I knew the people in the photo, which I knew when I was only seven years old, and was carried by a scalper to the side of the old well. Hongdong Shicai.

A young man with black-framed glasses, with his brothers, the second, third, fourth, and fifth, were all dragged into the old well by something unknown, and in the end, only the young man escaped, trembling all over his body, and fled in embarrassment, it turned out that Wu Sanjiang was him.

The one-eyed old man saw my shocked look and asked, "Do you know my master?" ”

I nodded and said, "More than ten years ago, Wu Sanjiang went to Wangjia Village. ”

"What happened to my master, and his brothers?" The one-eyed old man asked.

"His brothers are dead, and they have seen things that they shouldn't see, and I don't know what they are." I replied.

There were too many secrets in the old well, I thought it was just the real dragon that scared him like that, but when I was in Changbai Mountain, my grandfather told me that I saw the real dragon swallowing the coffin and the jade figurines in the old well, and I wasn't sure what Wu Sanjiang saw.

But what I don't understand is what Chen Shisan has to do with this matter, why did he let people hide the Buddha card condensed by his Buddha qi in the Buddha statue, and told his mother that someone would find this place in the future?

Chen Shisan's notes never mentioned such a thing.

"Then, where is Wu Sanjiang now?" I asked the one-eyed old man.

The one-eyed old man said: "I went to Henan a year ago, saying that I was looking for Zhao Gao's tomb. ”
