Chapter Forty-Nine: The Great Stone Statue: The Old Taoist and the Killing God Rise in Vain

The old Taoist sat on the big stone statue, and the mountain ghost no longer asked for his life?

This sounds mysterious.

"If someone is in the mountains, he will be taken by Xue Lixi."

"Both smiling and smiling, Zi Muyu is good and slender."

“……”

Liu Hongyi seemed to be reading with some expectation, and then looked at Jiang Chaoge again: "Brother Jiang, did you say that when we pass by the big stone statue, can we see the mountain ghost?" ”

"Would you like to meet?" Jiang Chaoge.

"Naturally, I think a little, it is rumored that this mountain ghost is an extremely beautiful woman, if you can see it...... But there are no regrets in this life. ”

Then you're brave!

Jiang Chaoge gave Liu Hongyi a thumbs up in his heart, no wonder some strange stories always like to write about people's ghosts, and there is really a demand.

"Eat well, the old man is about to sail!"

The old man saw that everyone had eaten almost, so he began to row the boat.

……

Huai'an County.

At the entrance of the county office.

Zhou County's order is finally back.

It's just that compared with the Zhou County Commander in his memory, this county magistrate looks extremely haggard at this time, and he obviously suffered a lot in prison.

Jiang Chaoge took Zhang Shi and others out to greet him.

"Erlang, this time it's really thanks to you."

When Zhou Xianling saw Jiang Chaoge, he forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face.

When he was released, he heard that it was Jiang Erlang who recovered the disaster relief money and saved his life, and because of this, he entered the Night Investigation Division and became a bronze banner.

"The prefectural magistrate doesn't have to be polite." Jiang Chaoge replied.

"What is the county order called? Between you and me, just call me uncle. Zhou Xianling waved his hand and said, "What about Jiao'er?" Why didn't you see her come out? ”

It turns out that Zhou County Ling still doesn't know about Zhou Jiaoer? Jiang Chaoge sighed a little in his heart, but still said, "Jiao'er, she ...... Fell into the river and died. ”

"What...... What?! ”

Zhou Xianling's eyes were bloodshot, and then, as soon as his eyes were black, he fainted.

Lord Prefectural, don't be in a hurry to faint...... Jiang Chaoge saw Zhou Xianling fall to the ground, so he could only beckon: "Stone, quickly bring some cold water." ”

After a while, Zhou Xianling woke up leisurely.

As soon as he woke up, he cried out sadly: "My hard-working Jiao'er, why did you leave for your father first!" What about Madame? Is Madame about to give birth? Where is she now? ”

"Madame also died in childbirth." This was said by Zhang Shi.

"What...... What?! ”

Zhou Xianling's eyes rolled again, and he fainted again.

Let's just say don't faint in a hurry...... Jiang Chaoge spread his hands.

So, after tossing for a while, Zhou Xianling woke up again.

"Jiao'er is gone...... Madame is also gone...... Then why do I, Zhou Yong, still live in this world? ”

Looks like he's going to die.

Jiang Chaoge said directly: "Uncle, you also have a daughter. ”

"Daughter?!" Zhou Xianling woke up suddenly: "What...... What daughters...... Is it Madame? ”

"Well, Madame gave birth to a baby girl!"

"Quick, take me to see it!"

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhou Xianling walked out of the inner hall with Ah Li in his arms.

"My daughter, my daughter!"

He hugged Ah Li tightly, because this was his last hope for life, and he was not disgusted by the birthmark on Ah Li's face, he lowered his head and kept kissing Ah Li's face.

Sure enough, parental love is the most selfless in the world.

Jiang Chaoge thought about it for a while, but still said, "Uncle, I named her Ah Li." ”

"Ah Li? Wound parting...... Good, good name! Zhou Xianling nodded, and looked at the night patrol clothes on Jiang Chaoge's body: "Erlang, you have a good future, uncle blesses you, but after this incident, I have no intention of becoming an official again, and I am ready to resign and retire as soon as this matter passes." ”

"Okay." Jiang Chaoge did not dissuade him, but said: "I suspect that the real behind this silver robbery case is the Lexin Hou Mansion, my uncle should know something about the Lexin Hou Mansion, right?" ”

Zhou County Ling had the idea of retreating.

Jiang Chaoge was not worried that the Zhou County Order would notify the Lexin Hou Mansion in advance.

Moreover, the silver robbery case killed Zhou Countyling's daughter and wife, so there is no possibility of telling the Hou Mansion of Lexin.

"Le ...... Lexinhou?! Zhou Xianling was obviously extremely surprised.

"Hmm!"

"Good! However, after all, I am only a county magistrate, and I don't know much about it, so I can only tell you what I know, but you must be extremely careful. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I have someone above me."

“……”

……

Out of the county office.

Jiang Chaoge went straight to the Night Investigation Division.

Ji Ruxue, Liang Wan'er and Liang Ping'an were already waiting at the door.

A group of people, two carriages.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not set out of the city gate, he rushed to Lingyang County.

……

And at the same time.

On the Qing River, the passenger boat also crossed the water mouth and arrived in front of the large stone statue.

This is not a Buddha statue, but a huge stone statue of a general, carved from a huge stone on the bank of the river.

The stone statue has big eyes and round eyes, a terrible killing atmosphere between the eyebrows and eyes, and is covered with carved battle armor and holds a long stone halberd, which is a typical "terracotta warriors".

Jiang Chaoge looked at the big stone statue in front of him, and he was still a little shocked in his heart, ten feet tall, blue and gray all over, I don't know how much manpower was spent?

"Who is this stone statue?"

"General Qin is in vain."

"Killing gods?"

Hearing the conversation between Liu Hongyi and others, Jiang Chaoge's heart became more and more shocked.

This world is obviously different from the Qin Dynasty in history, but some characters overlap with the previous world, such as: Qu Yuan, Bai Qi......

And, of course, the Ascended First Emperor!

Jiang Chaoge had some vague guesses, but he was not sure for the time being.

At this moment, he heard Liu Hongyi shouting again: "Brother Jiang, look! The old Taoist on the belly of the stone statue...... There are really veterans! ”

Jiang Chaoge looked in the direction of Liu Hongyi's finger.

Around the waist of the white stone statue, a belt carved in stone was tied, and on that belt, sure enough, a person was sitting.

However, I couldn't see the appearance of this old Taoist, I could only see a Taoist robe on the old Taoist, but the robe was already covered with thick dust, and there were some branches and dead leaves falling from the mountains.

Dust and dead leaves covered his body.

The old Taoist sat cross-legged on the belly of the stone statue, motionless, as if he was one with the white stone statue.

"Sitting for a year, not eating or drinking!"

Who the hell is this?

Jiang Chaoge felt a little impulsive in his heart, wanting to take a look at the big stone statue, after all, such a strange thing, I'm afraid only immortals can do it, right?

"I wonder where the mountain ghost is?" Liu Hongyi raised his eyes and looked around: "Boat family, is the mountain ghost wandering between the mountains and forests, why can't I see it?" ”

"Childe said with a smile, if you can see it, is it still called a mountain ghost?" The old man smiled, put down a slurry in his right hand, and casually pointed to the top of the big stone statue: "I only heard that after the sun sets, the mountain ghost will occasionally sit on the top of the stone statue to see if there is a beautiful boy passing by." ”

"What if I saw it?" Liu Hongyi asked again.

"Then how do I know, I haven't seen it, hehe." The old man said with a smile.

"The sun is about to set, the old man might as well stop for a while and take a look, if he can really see the mountain ghost, it can be regarded as a great experience in life!"

"Don't dare to stop randomly, and even if you do, you'll have to listen to the opinions of the other passengers, right?" The old man didn't stop paddling.

"Two taels of silver, the old man only needs to stop for two quarters of an hour, it's good!" Liu Hongyi took out the silver.

"This ......," the old man looked at the other passengers.

The vendor was the first to speak: "We are all in a hurry, and time is precious, how can we stay here in vain?" Childe still doesn't think about the mountain ghost, it's better to leave this place early. ”

"Everyone here, two taels of silver per person!" Liu Hongyi gritted his teeth and took out a few taels of silver.

"Okay, I'm okay." The vendors immediately compromised.

"Yes." The woman nodded in the same way.

The woman looked at the baby in her arms: "Does my baby count?" ”
