Chapter 52: The Ghost Is Crying, The Dragon Is Laughing 1

readx;? I didn't understand, and subconsciously made a "what" asking emoji. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Kill—Chu. This is the conclusion I came to after reading through all the intelligence records that have flowed into the provincial capital for half a year, there is a large number of Jianghu people who are gathering here, and their only goal is to 'kill Chu'. He replied.

Still unsure of what those words meant, I nodded noncommittally.

"Killing Chu, I deduce that it is to kill a person from Hangzhou. Hehe, so many people shot together, and as soon as that person left Hangzhou, he had already embarked on a road of no return. I also guessed that once the 'killing Chu' operation was successful, the pattern of the rivers and lakes in the provincial capital would also change. By then—" He pointed at me, smiling.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You are a member of the Xia family, and you are the only person who can provide the 'Divine Appearance Water Mirror' to the world. When the 'Kill Chu' is over, you will be like a huge magnet, firmly sucking many people, all of them into your vassals. I can assert that the future provincial city Jianghu must have a piece of your Xiaoxia's territory. When the time comes, we will have a great opportunity to work together, and I will do my best to mobilize official publicity resources to make a public announcement for you. It is foreseeable that a new star has risen, and it will surely be in the spotlight and brilliance. He said it with great sincerity, as if the outcome was already in sight.

"Mr. Qi, don't make fun of me. I just smiled wryly, not with his imagination.

"Come with me, meet your insider, and she'll make you believe what I just said. Qi Mei pointed to the depths of the poplar forest.

When I saw the strange story in the notebook, I really wanted to meet the person who recorded it, to see if I could learn more details and details about what happened. It's a pity that now that I find that everything is under Qi Mei's control, I hesitate a little, I don't know if I just fell into his trap this time.

I walked over and held Tang Wan's right hand, hoping to get inspiration from her.

Tang Wanmu stood solemnly, her lips twitching every few seconds, as if she was silently chanting something.

"You hypnotized her, is this necessary?" I looked at Tang Wan's face and raised my eyebrows.

"She is a big expert in 'bone touching', and she doesn't hypnotize her in advance, but she is afraid that the situation will get out of control. Xiao Xia, in the face of chaos, I, like you, don't have the ability to command everything and control the overall situation. Therefore, I can only make big things small and small things, and use whichever method does not attract the attention of the masters. Rest assured, she is only temporarily getting into the tip of the horns, and when we see the inner man come back, she will be sober. Qi Mei explained.

I didn't dare to fully believe his words, because we were only meeting for the first time, and we were still in ambiguity about whether we were friends or foes.

"I'm not at ease with leaving her here. I said.

As I squeezed Tang Wan's hands hard, her face turned to the other side, just in time to see the gray chimney on the top of the funeral home's working hall.

I followed her line of sight, and the chimney stood tall and straight into the sky, like a long arrow piercing through the clouds.

The incinerator was in operation, so there was always curling green smoke on the top of the chimney, changing all kinds of strange images with the wind.

"It was safe and we were back in about twenty minutes. Qi Mei responded.

I was reluctant to leave Tang Wan, fearing that she would suffer an accidental injury. Although there are many people outside, they are all under Yan Gexing's orders, and no one will take meticulous care of Tang Wan.

"Xiao Xia, a manly husband should be decided, why bother to stick to these little children? Think about it, which is more important than a little girl?" Qi Mei became anxious.

Suddenly, I felt Tang Wan's fingers move in my palm, and quickly wrote the nine words "Go with him, leave me alone, be more careful".

I turned my back to my eyebrows, and he couldn't see my face, so when I widened my eyes and made a shocked expression, I wasn't worried that it would ruin Tang Wan's good deeds.

"Go, find out his background. Tang Wan instructed again.

Tang Wan was able to do this, proving that her confusion and self-talk were all disguised, and her goal was to deceive everyone on the scene, including Qi Mei, who hid the blade, and Qingdao Han, who was ubiquitous with the "art of burning incense".

I nodded quietly, convinced that Tang Wan was fine, so the next step would be simple.

"Let's go?" Qi Mei urged again.

I took a step back, and before I could speak, I heard a terrible howl of a wild wolf in my ears, and it came from the depths of the poplar forest.

Qi Mei's face changed drastically, and his right hand immediately pressed against the watch on his left wrist.

Except for the southern mountains, no trace of wolves has ever been found in Jinan, let alone in Jinan City now?

After the wolf howl had been heard twice, suddenly another birdsong sounded intermittently. At first, it was just a bird calling, then more and more birds, and finally it developed into dozens of small birds chirping together, and the sound was different and the tone was dry, as if a bird concert was about to be held.

Qi Mei jumped onto the stone table next to him and looked out to the northwest of the grove.

"What is it?" I asked subconsciously.

"It seems to be—" Qi Mei hesitated, but his face had become more and more ugly.

The howl of the wolf stopped slightly, and the chorus of the birds gradually stopped.

Qi Mei's face was slightly soothed, but he still put his hands on his forehead and continued to look that way.

Suddenly there was a whirlwind in the woods, blowing from west to east, and all the poplars were blown and fluttered.

"His grandmother's!" Qi Mei, who was polite, suddenly scolded a foul word.

I jumped onto the stone table next to me and looked deep into the woods, but all I could see was the scattered leaves, and my vision was blocked.

There seems to be a low red-brick hut in the depths of the grove, but it is too shadowy to see the whole picture.

"It's really broken! it's really going to be broken this time!" Qi Mei scratched his head, his face covered in sweat.

I didn't ask again, because Qi Mei was already in confusion and didn't bother to answer my question at all.

At last, the howls of wolves, birds, and wind all stopped, and there was a dead silence all around, except for the heavy gasps in Qi Mei's throat.

With his status, status, and knowledge, he shouldn't have been so alarmed, and I couldn't help but wonder if there were other shocking secrets hidden in the depths of this grove.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay-" Qi Mei said three "okay" in a row, shrugged his shoulders, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Yes...... It's something we don't understand. The world is so big that there are no surprises. Human beings' known understanding of this world is only afraid that it is less than one ten-thousandth, and the unknown part is like the dark night on the first day of the first month of the month, as far as the eye can see, it is pitch black, and there is not even a trace of light. Qi Mei wiped a handful of cold sweat, shook it heavily, and his face became softer.

I wanted to ask, but my mind turned and I kept silent.

In fact, I know very well that Qi Mei and I have not reached the point of being allies who talk about everything and advance and retreat together. He was able to condescend to talk to me, but he was only to use me to achieve his goal, and to discover the whereabouts of the "Divine Appearance Water Mirror" from my flaws.

"Now it's time to go. Qi Mei jumped off the stone table and raised his hand to greet me.

I took one last look into the skies deep in the woods, in the distance, and was about to go down to the ground, when I suddenly noticed something extraordinary in the sky.

It was a strange cloud, long and curved like a long snake.

I pointed upward: "Mr. Qi, look at that cloud—"

The cloud was constantly changing, and at first it did look like a long snake, with its head facing this side, its tail facing northwest, and its belly twisting into seven or eight bends, which looked very peculiar.

Anyone with a modicum of meteorological knowledge understands that the change of clouds is carried by the wind, and the wind pulls it, gathering and scattering, and the shape is uncertain.

So, when the head of the "snake" in the sky changed, I just thought that it was going to be blown away by the wind and disappear without a trace.

Qi Mei looked up, a "grunt" sound came out of his throat, his arms were raised, his ten fingers were spread, and he waved wildly in the air.

In an instant, two huge deer-like horns appeared on the head of the "snake", and its body also rolled and writhed, and it was obvious that scales appeared all over the body. As for its tail, there are two powerful forks.

I use words to describe the change in the image of the cloud is pale, in a word, the "snake" cloud has become a "dragon" cloud, and in terms of shape alone, it has become an authentic legendary "dragon".

The head of the "dragon" looked down, aiming at the poplar forest in front of us.

The dragon is the most revered totem of our Chinese nation, and the image of the dragon has appeared many times in mythological film and television dramas, magic novels, and folklore. In other words, until now, dragons have only existed in our imaginations, and have never appeared in front of the public.

When I saw that "dragon" cloud, I immediately thought of a mirage.

"Is it a mirage, or is it a spectacle caused by a coincidence?" I couldn't be sure, but I stared fixedly into the air.

"Dragon, I see the dragon again, you listen, you listen, the dragon is calling, the dragon is calling—" Qi Mei cried hoarsely, his voice trembling like a worn-out old tape recorder.

I listened intently, and there was silence in the air, without any noise.

"Is there a sound? I can't hear it. I responded.

"Yes, yes, yes, you listen, you listen!" Qi Mei pointed frantically at the dragon cloud.

I closed my eyes and concentrated until I heard my own heartbeat, and then I heard the sound of blood running in my ear drums.

This kind of "unspoken listening technique" is something that can be enlightened after practicing meditation kung fu in Zen Gate to a certain extent, and my eldest brother taught me when I was just sensible. It's just that at that time, I only learned the movements, and it was only when I became an adult that I gradually understood the tricks.

When I entered the "subtive" state, I still didn't hear the sound of the "dragon call" that Qi Mei said.

As soon as I opened my eyes, Qi Mei had already stepped over, grabbed my wrist with his right hand, and dragged me off the table.

"Don't move, don't move!" he cried, and with a wave of his left hand, it swept over the back of his right hand.

I didn't see him take out the knife, but I felt the strange roar of the cold knife piercing the air, and when I looked down again, a half-inch-long extremely thin knife wound appeared on the back of his hand, oozing out a dense row of blood beads, rolling silently down my fingers and flowing onto my wrist.

Only then did I feel the cold and painful bare part of my wrist, and there was a knife cut of the same length and depth, and blood beads were oozing and congealing from the knife.

Such a fast knife, such a fast movement, such a light and subtle technique - only then can I understand the horror of Tang Wan when he saw Qi Mei out of the knife in the dark.
