After hearing Ning Nanxi's voice, several of us immediately gathered and stepped forward.

When I walked to Ning Nanxi's side, I saw that she was holding a thread-bound ancient book in her hand.

Although the book is well preserved, the paper is yellowed and looks hundreds of years old, to say the least.

Ning Nanxi saw a few of us walking to his side, raised his hand and pointed to the page, saying that this book should be similar to the current dictionary, and the text recorded on it was the tadpole script on the human skin map.

Then I picked up the human skin map, and after some comparison, the text on the ancient book was indeed the same as that on the human skin map.

It took us almost half an hour to figure out the explanation for the first punctuation.

According to the translation in the ancient books, the first punctuation point on the human skin map is Miaojiang Zanglong Mountain.

When I saw this place name, I couldn't help but feel shocked, how could this matter be so coincidental.

Qin Wenhua was poisoned in his body, we were planning to go to Miaojiang, and the serial murder case in the urban area was also related to Gu worms, and now the punctuation on the human skin map is also in Miaojiang, and in the dark, the will of heaven is to let us go to Miaojiang.

It's just that what secrets are hidden in this Hidden Dragon Mountain, and why it has to be recorded on the human skin map, this point is indeed incomprehensible.

"It's Miaojiang again, it looks like we have to go this time, if I'm not mistaken, the punctuation behind the human skin map must also be the name of the place, but now we haven't been to Miaojiang, and we are not in a hurry to translate it, this book will be on our bodies first, and we will make plans after we come back from Miaojiang." Ning Nanxi said and put the ancient book into his arms.

"What secrets are hidden on this human skin map, Lord Ningmen, you have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, have you ever heard of this human skin map?" Chen Xianglin looked at Ning Shantang on the side and asked respectfully.

Ning Shantang shook his head helplessly after hearing this, saying that he had never heard of the human skin map, and this thing seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

However, now the forces of all parties in the rivers and lakes have begun to covet this thing, and he instructed us to be sure to take this thing well, and not to fall into the hands of bad people, after all, we still don't know what the secret of this human skin map is, in case it is not good for the people, it will definitely be a disaster.

Seeing that a few of us nodded and agreed, Ning Shantang took us out of the scripture building, just outside the courtyard, suddenly a Xuanqing disciple ran forward, he panted and looked at Ning Shantang and said: "Door master, there are two young people outside who want to see you, I heard that they are friends of the uncle, the disciples guarding the gate asked about their identities, but they insisted on not saying, and now they are in a stalemate with the disciples in the door at the door, you hurry up and go out to see." ”

"It's Brother Su and Brother Shen, as members of the Miscellaneous Affairs Section, it's inconvenient for them to show their identities, it must be them!" Ning Nanxi said that he walked quickly towards the direction of the gate of Xuanqing Gate, and a few of us followed, about seven or eight minutes later, we came to the gate position, at this time Su Dingqin and Shen Nanxiao were standing at the door, after seeing the two, I stepped forward quickly, and said excitedly: "Brother Su, Brother Shen!" ”

"Brother Chen! You can be regarded as coming out, this gatekeeper won't let us in, and we can't insist on breaking in, so it's good that you're here now. Shen Nanxiao said and threw the remaining half of the cigarette in his hand to the ground, and after stepping on it, he walked over with Su Dingqin in the direction of the courtyard gate, and the disciples of Xuanqing Sect just wanted to stop it when they saw this, at this time Ning Nanxi said: "What are you doing, these two are my friends, get out of the way!" ”

Hearing this, the two gatekeepers had to dodge their bodies and make way for them, and then Su Dingqin and Shen Nanxiao walked into the courtyard, Su Dingqin raised his hand and arched his hand after seeing Ning Shantang, and said respectfully: "Junior Su Dingqin to meet the master of Ningmen, this is Shen Nanxiao, this time the two of us came without saying hello is really rude, I hope the master of Ningmen will forgive." ”

"I don't have so much red tape, so you don't have to be so polite as me, but I didn't expect you two to be really young, you have already entered the miscellaneous department in your twenties, and the future is really limitless, Xi'er is also her blessing to be able to make friends like you, let's stop standing at the door and talking, let's hurry into the hospital." Ning Shantang looked at Su Dingqin kindly and said.

Not long after we were taken to an antique building by Ning Shantang, this building is very large, according to Ning Nanxi said that this is the place where the Xuanqing Gate discusses things on weekdays, and it is also the façade of the Xuanqing Gate, after entering the door, look up, the scene inside is even more amazing, what catches the eye is a long table of nearly ten meters of golden silk nanmu, dozens of seats are placed on both sides, the walls on both sides of the table and chair are wooden cabinets, all kinds of antique cultural toys are placed on it, there are porcelain and jade, and there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the top.

Directly opposite is a black chair, behind which is a glass screen, and on both sides are tables, which looks very magnificent.

Ning Shantang walked to the main seat and sat down, raised his hand and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "You guys should also sit down, Xuanqing Gate doesn't have so many rules, you can sit wherever you want, just be comfortable." ”

Hearing this, a few of us found a place to sit down, and after a while, the disciples in the door brought tea and put it on the table next to it.

Ning Shantang saw a few of us sitting down and took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table, and then said in a deep voice: "Although you go to Miaojiang this time for different purposes, you must work together, Miaojiang is not an ordinary place, especially Zanglong Mountain, as far as I know, Zanglong Mountain is located in the hinterland of 100,000 deep mountains in Miaojiang, and the people living around are all Miao people, these people have no contact with the Han people, and they do not agree with our culture, so many of you go to Shengmiao I am afraid that it will cause them to be vigilant, so you should be cautious at that time, The guide I have found for you will soon arrive, and when the time comes, let them take you there, and it will be safer for you to have him in their dealings. ”

"Master Ningmen, I don't know which guide you are looking for this time, our trip to Miaojiang this time is confidential, we must find a trustworthy person, otherwise it will ......"

Without waiting for Su Dingqin to finish speaking, Ning Shantang interrupted: "I don't know if Mr. Su knows that there is a person named Chen Xiaohu in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"Chen Xiaohu? What the Lord of the Ning Sect is talking about, but Chen Xiaohu, who is nicknamed Wanjin Oil? Su Dingqin was surprised.

"That's right, it's this person, I'm going to let him follow you to Miaojiang this time, since Mr. Su knows Chen Xiaohu's name and must know his deeds, so I don't need to say more, what does Mr. Su think?" Ning Shantang looked at Su Dingqin and asked.

"If Chen Xiaohu can follow us to Miaojiang, it will naturally be great, I heard that Chen Xiaohu has a lot of honorarium, and he may not be able to get money if he has money, I don't know what close relationship the Lord of Ningmen has with him, and he can let him follow us for a while?" Su Dingqin looked at Ning Shantang and asked suspiciously.

"Actually, I didn't spend a penny this time, Chen Xiaohu agreed because he wanted to return me a favor, decades ago his father was chased by a tiger in the cliff ditch, I rescued his father, although Chen Xiaohu was only seven or eight years old at that time, but he has made a heavy oath to repay me, he has not had the opportunity to repay this favor over the years, so I want to take this opportunity to let him help, by the way, this favor will be returned, you must know that money is good and favor is difficult to repay, After returning this favor, Chen Xiaohu no longer has to take this matter to heart. Ning Shantang said earnestly.

Seeing that Su Dingqin also knew Chen Xiaohu, I couldn't help but be a little curious, so I asked Shen Nanxiao next to him who Chen Xiaohu was, according to Shen Nanxiao, Chen Xiaohu also has a nickname called Know-it-all in addition to the title of jack-of-all-trades on the rivers and lakes, no matter what he knows, and he knows a lot about the dialects and customs of all parts of the country, although this person is not very old, he has been going south and north for more than 20 years, and the whole country has basically been traveled by him, such as the birth of Miao Jiang He has been there several times, Therefore, it is almost foolproof to have him lead the way.

As soon as Shen Nanxiao's voice fell, a rush of footsteps came, and following the sound, a Xuanqing Sect disciple entered the door, he walked to Ning Shantang and knelt on one knee, arched his hands and said: "Door master, Chen Xiaohu came to visit, and he is outside the door now!" ”

"Say Cao Cao Cao is here, hurry up and invite him in." Ning Shantang commanded.

After receiving the order, the disciple in the door walked to the door, and after saying a few words to the people outside the door, a figure appeared in the door, and looked fixedly, this person was about thirty-four or five years old, about one meter six or five in height, although he did not look good, but a pair of eyes were bright, he was wearing a white shirt on the upper body, and a black trouser on the lower body, and he was dressed extremely ordinary.

"Senior Chen Xiaohu visits the Lord of Ningmen!" The man walked in front of Ning Shantang and bowed directly.

"Excuse Xiaohu, you must know the matter when I call you this time, I want you to take Xi'er and a few of her friends to Shengmiao together, I don't know if you can agree." Ning Shantang looked at Chen Xiaohu and said.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaohu turned his head and glanced at a few of us, and said with a smile: "If you don't agree, I don't have to come, here the Lord of Ningmen is kind to my Chen family, don't say that I am going to Shengmiao, even if it is a sword mountain and a sea of fire, I Chen Xiaohu will not give up, when will we leave?" ”

"After packing your luggage, you will leave, several of them have never been to Miaojiang, let alone Shengmiao, the people there are not easy to deal with, and you will have to worry more when the time comes." Ning Shantang looked at Chen Xiaohu and asked.

"Lord Ningmen rest assured, even if I have an accident, I will not let them have an accident, since I pack my luggage and prepare to go, then I will go and set a ticket first, and then make a plan, this season Miaojiang has more rain, it seems that if you want to enter Shengmiao, I am afraid that I can't cross from the Aijiang River, I have to find another route." Chen Xiaohu said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I don't care how to make a plan, anyway, you just need to bring them back safely, it's not too early now, you hurry up and pack your luggage, if you need anything, hurry up and bring it up, I'll prepare it for you." Ning Shantang said.

After Ning Shantang finished speaking, he left first, and after a few of us introduced each other to Chen Xiaohu, we returned to the residence and began to pack our things.

There were seven people who went this time, including Chen Xiaohu, and it was already about four o'clock in the afternoon when we finished packing.

According to Chen Xiaohu, we will take a plane directly from Jiangning City this time, and we will be able to reach Miaojiang after about five or six hours of flight, but then we will need to stay near the airport for one night.

Because the seedlings are still a few hours away from the airport, we will have to take a car to get there, and if it goes well, we will be able to reach the seedlings almost the next morning.
