Two days later, someone came to the pit again, and Xiang Yan hurriedly closed his eyes. I heard the man shout loudly, "Head, there are corpses here." Xiang Yan didn't think this person was from the Qingcheng faction - how could the people from the Qingcheng faction not know that there were corpses here? When I opened my eyes, it turned out to be Heyu Kuai, and hurriedly said: "Help." The catcher was so frightened that he fell, got up, turned and ran, and shouted, "Devil! ”

Xiang Yan pondered in his heart: "Qingcheng sent to the Fuwei Dart Bureau for two days, but I didn't see the arrest coming, but today the capture is coming, is the Qingcheng faction withdrawing?" In the original book, it is said that after Lin Pingzhi fled to Hengshan, he met Yu Canghai again at Liu Zhengfeng's golden basin handwashing conference. Yu Canghai searched for two days in the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and couldn't find the "Sword Spectrum to Warse Evil Spirits", so he took his disciples to participate in Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Handwashing Conference? ”

A group of people came up and said, "Help." The leading catcher asked nervously, "Are you a human or a ghost?" Xiang Yan said: "Master Catcher, I am a human being." Four days ago, a gang of robbers broke into the game and knocked me unconscious. The bandits, thinking I was dead, threw me into the pit, and then I woke up again. The catcher frowned, covered his nose with his hand, and said, "You get up and speak first." ”

Xiang Yan struggled, his hands and feet were sore, and he couldn't get up, and said, "Master Catcher, I haven't eaten for four days, and my body is weak and I can't get up." The head catcher pointed at the two catchers and said, "You two, get him up, take him to clean it again, and then bring him to me for questioning." After saying that, he left with the others.

The two catchers frowned and pulled Xiang Yan out of the pit, and then muttered again. The two catchers spoke in dialect, and Xiang Yan didn't understand. One said, "You wait here first." The two catchers quickly turned and left. After a while, the two of them came over with four buckets of water, and stood at Yan from a distance to clean the filth on his body.

After Xiang Yan cleaned the filth on his body, the two catchers quickly threw a wooden stick to Xiang Yan and brought Xiang Yan to see the head catcher. Xiang Yan used a wooden stick as a crutch, and limped to the living room with two catchers. The head catcher covered his nose, frowned and shouted, "Stay away, don't get so close." Xiang Yan hurriedly took a few steps back. Xiang Yan's right leg that was cut by Ah Qi had been soaked in filth for a few days, the wound had become inflamed and suppurated, and his right leg was swollen and painful, and the pain was unbearable, and pus flowed out, with a pungent smell.

The headcatcher said, "Who are you?" Why is it in the pit? Xiang Yan said: "Catcher, grass people Xiang Yan, born in Nanyang ......" Xiang Yan's accent is obviously different from the locals, but he can't explain his origin to others, so he has to say that he is from Nanyang.

"My grandfather said that he would return to his roots and take our family back to the mainland. As a result, there was a storm on the road, the boat was wrecked, and I was the only one who survived. Five days ago, the grass people met Lin Shao's dart head of the Fuwei Dart Bureau. Lin Shao saw that the grass people were good, so he brought the grass people to the Fuwei Dart Bureau. Unexpectedly, as soon as the grass people arrived at the dart game, they encountered a short man wearing a robe who was killing people indiscriminately in the dart game. The dwarf slapped the grass man and knocked him unconscious. He must have thought that the grass people had been killed, so he threw the grass people into the pit. Fortunately, the grass people were rescued by the emperor today, otherwise the grass people would have drowned in the pit. ”

The headcatcher said, "Got it." It's none of your business now, you go! Xiang Yan walked a few steps towards the door with a cane, then turned back to the head catcher and said: "Master Catcher, the grass people haven't eaten for four days, please catch the master and the grass people, and reward the grass people for a few dollars!" The head catcher was stunned, took out a handful of copper coins and threw them in front of Xiang Yan. Xiang Yan hurriedly said: "Thank you for catching the master, thank you for catching the master!" Picking up the copper coins in front of him, there were more than 30 copper coins in total.

Xiang Yan was so hungry that he looked for something to eat after going out, and came to a stall to buy steamed buns to satisfy his hunger. The aunt who sold steamed buns looked at Yan Keling, gave Xiang Yan one more steamed bun, and said, "Little ghost, how did you do this?" Xiang Yan told the aunt what he said to the head catcher again, and the aunt sighed when she heard it. Xiang Yan said: "Boss, do you know if there is any place nearby that doesn't cost me money and can let me stay for a few days?" ”

The aunt said, "You go straight ahead, enter through the third alley, and at the end, there is a big house." Most of the owners of the house have gone as officials, and the house has been empty, so you can sneak in and stay for a few days. Xiang Yan thanked him and walked to the place pointed out by the aunt.

When I arrived at the place, I saw a very large house, with black doors and white walls, and an old vine coiled on the wall, which did not look like it was inhabited. Xiang Yan climbed over the wall and went to check the various rooms, and there was dust everywhere. Xiang Yan nodded, it is true that no one has lived there for a long time, no matter whether he can find the "Sword Spectrum to Ward Off Evil Spirits" or not, at least he will not sleep on the streets.

Xiang Yan checked one room after another, and after looking at the side rooms, he came to the backyard again, and then to a room in the northwest corner, which was a Buddhist hall. In the center is an ink painting, which depicts the back of the ancestor of Bodhidharma. In the picture, Bodhidharma has his left hand behind his back and his right index finger pointing to the roof. There is an old futon on the west side of the Buddhist hall, and there are wooden fish, bell pans, and a stack of Buddhist scriptures on the table.
