Chapter 253: The Secret of the Ghost Cave
However, after thinking about it, she couldn't help it, she could use public opinion to let the other party send it to the door by herself.
"Let them be clever and keep an eye on each other's tracks." Mo Ziyu said in a deep voice.
Ye Feng responded and turned around to do it.
Ling Lan realized it later, what the man said about them just now?
Sensing her puzzled gaze, the man explained in a low voice, "The people of Mu Zilou." ”
Mu Zilou, I've heard of it, Xi'er was originally one of the hall masters! Could it be that people from Muzilou are also everywhere?
It's also very likely, they need to gather information, or have a task, and should be going around and stopping.
"Almost, pack up and get ready to go to the bamboo pavilion." Man reminds.
On the way, Ling Lan couldn't help but be curious: "What letter did you ask Ye Feng to send?" Why is it so sure that Xu Yuanshan will go to the appointment on time? ”
The man was very proud: "Naturally, it is a letter that the other party has to come." ”
Looking at his eyes full of small pride, he couldn't help but feel childish and funny.
As the name suggests, the bamboo pavilion is a bamboo forest with a very meaningful meaning, surrounded by lakes, nine turns, stepping on bluestone bricks through several arch bridges, and entering a hexagonal pavilion several feet high.
I have to say that the red lanterns on both sides of the road are very bright, and the sight is good, so it is not easy to see the birds and animals carved on the pavilion in such a dark night.
At this time, a man was standing in the bamboo pavilion, tall and well-proportioned but slightly hunchbacked, and immediately stepped forward to check when he heard the footsteps.
Under the red halo emitted by the lantern, Ling Lan found that the other party was a Chinese face, with two thick black eyebrows like caterpillars, and he looked not angry and self-threatening, with a serious aura, but after seeing Mo Ziyu, he had to greet him with a smile, which looked very far-fetched.
Co-authored, deep down I wasn't necessarily thinking about anything, and I had to say hello to Ann on my face.
Mo Ziyu invited him to sit down, and his words were a little meaningful.
Ling Lan could sense the subtle atmosphere between the two, and watched silently for a while without speaking.
During this period, Xu Yuanshan had seen her a few times, but he just swept his eyes, curious and puzzled, but he was not shocked and surprised, it can be seen that he did not feel inappropriate.
Before coming, they discussed countermeasures, if the other party noticed that something was wrong, they would take the opportunity to ask, if they didn't know Ling Lan, then she would directly start hypnosis, so as not to be vigilant after asking.
"Lord Mo, you are here, why don't you go to the house for a few days? Let the lower officials do their best to be the landlord. Xu Yuanshan said with a smile.
Mo Ziyu was rarely kind, and smiled calmly: "Lord Xu doesn't have to be so polite, this official is just passing by Yangzhou, thinking that he hasn't seen the old for a long time!" ”
Xu Yuanshan understood in his heart that the other party was talking nonsense, but he couldn't talk nonsense, and continued to be polite to hide the emotions in his heart, because he didn't have much intersection with Mo Ziyu, he had only seen it a few times in the capital, and this time it was so late to meet without warning, and he really didn't know what the other party was thinking.
At the same time, Mo Ziyu and Ling Lan exchanged a look.
At this time, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the red lanterns are swaying in the air, hoping that this rain will come later, so as not to delay things.
Xu Yuanshan was concentrating all his attention on talking to Mo Ziyu, although they were all useless polite words, but he didn't dare to relax a little, so he didn't care when he heard the crisp sound, and it sounded a few intermittently rhythmically, and he subconsciously looked sideways.
At the moment of turning his head sideways, something seemed to flash in front of him and suddenly stopped, and then his consciousness became blurred...
The bamboo branch in Ling Lan's hand was put aside, it was still folded on the road when she came, and at this time, Xu Yuanshan was already stunned and expressionless.
Every time she saw this situation, Mo Ziyu was surprised and curious, until now it was difficult to understand how Ling Lan did it, she didn't use any medicine and didn't talk to Xu Yuanshan, she just used some rhythmic voices, it was really incredible.
"What's your name?" Ling Lanzhu's lips opened lightly.
"Xu Yuanshan."
Ling Lan: "What do you do at home?" ”
"Selling salt."
Ling Lan: "When was the last time you went to Linyang City?" ”
Hearing the three words of Linyang City, the other party was obviously hesitant, and only responded after a few breaths: "About four months ago." ”
On this day, it was not long before the accident in the Ling Mansion.
Ling Lan's voice was soft, sounding like an ethereal voice: "Who have you been to meet?" ”
Xu Yuanshan's brows furrowed, and his head moved: "Ling, Linghui." ”
Ling Lan: "What did you talk about when you were in Ling Mansion?" ”
"Let's go, I'll let him leave as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Xu Yuanshan's voice became anxious. Urged: "Hurry up, don't check again, you can't investigate again, something will happen, something big will happen, and it will be over by then..."
Seeing his emotions out of control, his tone fluctuated and finally turned into a trembling. Trembling and muttering, Ling Lan thought he was about to wake up.
However, these words can be heard that Xu Yuanshan and her father have a good relationship, not an enemy, it is really better to ask directly, and the other party should be able to tell the truth.
When his eyes rolled, he found that Xu Yuanshan had calmed down, and a pair of godless eyes were still staring ahead, and he was in a state of hypnotization and did not wake up.
Ling Lan was surprised and delighted, and after letting the other party take a break, she continued to ask, "What is Xuan Hui investigating?" ”
"Ghost cave, I'm worried that something will happen to him, so I'll go to him, but he just didn't listen, saying that he couldn't let those people die in vain five years ago, and he must find out the truth."
Ghost cave, those people five years ago?
Thoughts flashed through Ling Lan's mind, invisibly connected with the story Mo Ziyu had told before.
"And what truth did he find out in the end?"
Xu Yuanshan's eyes widened: "Gold mines, grain and grass, clothing and weapons." ”
After a pause, he didn't wait for an inquiry and then spoke: "He didn't listen to my advice, insisted on going his own way, and wanted to cut off relations with me and never communicate again, I know he was angry, because I lied to him five years ago, saying that the ghost cave is connected to the mountain god and the underworld, and it is necessary to worship regularly and not disturb in order to keep the people of Linyang City safe, otherwise disaster will come, but I really couldn't help it at the time, so that many years later, he realized that something was wrong and began to investigate secretly, and after learning some truths, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, he hated me and hated himself..."
Xu Yuanshan, who was approaching fifty years old, couldn't stop whimpering and crying, Ling Lan knew that it was not good at a glance, and she was too emotional.
After a while, Xu Yuanshan fainted in grief and remorse, these are all emotions suppressed in his heart, which are nowhere to vent on weekdays, and now it is also good to vent his brain, and he will feel a lot better when he wakes up again.
However, Ling Lan hadn't finished asking yet, and the other party obviously knew more secrets.
Seeing Xu Yuanshan lying on the table and falling into a coma, Mo Ziyu's deep eyes swept around.
"Do you understand?"
"Hmmm! Because the secret of the ghost cave was discovered. ”
After a pause, Ling Lan's tone sank: "However, gold mines, grain and grass, clothing and weapons, isn't it to rebel when these things are stored?" ”
