Chapter 18: The Mysterious Partner
I looked at Manager Cao suspiciously, and he said, "The altar site of the mausoleum is under that road. The tombstone is under the basement of the main building, with a stone man and a stone horse, in the river next to it. I haven't figured out the specific location of the dungeon. ”
Chen Shan said with a straight face: "You are blatant tomb robbers!" Manager Cao smiled bitterly, "I know, it's illegal to do this!" But I can't help myself! I picked up the drawings and looked at them, "Who is the person in charge of your project?" Is it Li Hu or Hong Liang? ”
Cao Xiangrong shook his head, "No, Li Hu is just a loser, lustful, and unlearned." Hong Liang is Li Hu's advisor, but he is also a feng shui reader. The real guide to the excavation of the ancient tomb is a woman! ”
My heart trembled, "Have you seen her?" He shook his head, "That woman is very low-key, I've only seen her once." I still saw it in Li Hu's car. She wasn't very old, she looked like she was in her thirties. Li Hu was very respectful to her. The woman was very cold to Li Hu, came for five or six minutes, and didn't say a word. ”
He pointed to the drawing, "This is what the woman brought." I think this woman should be very knowledgeable about this archaeology. I know the topography and customs of this area, and I can almost say that I know it well! ”
Chen Shan glanced at me, "Jia Qianqian's grandmother's house is near here." She lived in her grandmother's house until she was in her twenties, when she came to live in downtown Zhongzhou. I said, "Qianqian is an accountant, archaeology is so profound, how can she understand?" ”
Chen Shan sneered, "Do you know what is the identity of Jia Qianqian's grandfather?" I shook my head. Chen Shan asked me, "Have you ever heard of Captain Touching Jin?" I nodded, "It seems to be a special unit established by Cao Cao of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period." Specializing in inverted buckets to touch gold! In the future, anyone who makes a living digging graves will be called Captain Touching Gold! ”
Chen Shan smiled, "You still have a little common sense!" Her grandfather is the heir of the orthodox Touching Gold Captain. When he was young, he was also a top master in this industry. At the age of fifty, he washed his hands, but he also worked as a consultant for the Zhongzhou archaeological team. "I think Jia Qianqian is becoming more and more confusing.
The green lights went out suddenly. I quickly reached for my phone to illuminate it. The mud on the table, a foot-long flame. In the firelight, Cao Xiangrong's face was hideous. He stretched out his withered hand like a tree branch and grabbed Chen Shan's neck.
I was shocked, and hurriedly took out a piece of talisman paper and slapped it on Cao Xiangrong's forehead. The rune paper disappeared in an instant. Chen Shan was not in a hurry and recited the mantra. The two flames stirred together and pounced on Cao Xiangrong's body. He let go of his hand and flapped the flames on his body.
But the more he shot the fire, the more he shot the more prosperous, and his whole body was wrapped in a fireball. His body emitted a black mist to fend off the flames. The floor and furniture around it, but there were no burnt marks. "Just this little trick, come and fight with me? It's overwhelming! ”
Cao Xiangrong struggled to resist, and the flames gradually dimmed. I picked up the drawings and pulled Chen Shan out to run. As soon as you get out of the door, there is a corridor, and I think it's easy to go back the way you came. But I was wrong. It was dark in the hallway, and I could barely see my fingers.
I took pictures on my phone, but it didn't work. My hand didn't dare to let go of Chen Shan's hand. I am afraid that as soon as I let go of my hand, the person will be gone. "Brother Feng, where is your blood jade pendant?" Chen Shan reminded me. I pulled out the pendant and held it in my hand. Streams of red light burst out from between my fingers.
The black fog cleared and I could see the direction of the hallway. We walked briskly up the stairs. But after walking a long way, I haven't seen where the stairs are. Cracks appeared in the walls, and in each crack, a blood-like red liquid oozed from each of them.
"Did we walk into the labyrinth?" I glanced at Chen Shan. Chen Shan said: "This is the place of death that the person just said!" "I felt like my feet were getting thicker and thicker, and it was hard to take every step.
Chen Shan threw out three pieces of rune paper in a row and said, "Lead the way!" "Three green flames, flying up and down in front. Chen Shan said: "Brother Feng, listen to my command, go diagonally to the left, and take three steps forward." Horizontal right, two steps forward, turn left, ten steps forward! "Listening to the password, we walked briskly hand in hand.
Soon, we saw the staircase. We walked quickly down and made two turns. We didn't see the door in the hall, we still saw the stairs. I thought I had made a mistake and wanted to go back. Chen Shan grabbed me and pointed to it. I looked up and saw that the floor number on the stairs was, 8th floor!
Obviously, he walked down two floors, and it should have been the first floor, but he inexplicably walked to the eighth floor. Chen Shan was also confused, "Shouldn't my guide charm lead the wrong way?" I glanced at the stairs, "Could it be an illusion, let's keep walking!" ”
We went down the stairs and turned around twice. The staircase in front is numbered the eighteenth floor! A night breeze blew in, and I saw the exit with a starry sky. "We're on the roof!" I was taken aback. Chen Shan walked forward without saying a word, and I quickly grabbed her, "Shanshan, what are you doing on the roof?" ”
Chen Shan looked at me with a grim expression, "Qin Feng, do you still think Jia Qianqian is very simple?" "I'm speechless. For such a long time, Jia Qianqian was an enigmatic existence.
Sometimes, we're just putting on a show. It stands to reason that she and I couldn't have gotten together. Completely different life experiences, different life experiences, there should be no intersection. She somehow pulled me into her life, but she hid a lot of things.
Chen Shan took my hand and walked out. Huge platform, empty. She pulled me to the edge of the roof. On the side, there are no guardrails, and I can see the lights on the road in the distance. "Don't go any further, it's dangerous over there!" I reminded Chen Shan.
At the top of the stairs, a figure stands. "You can't leave, if you break in, don't think about leaving. It doesn't matter if you shout for help or call the police, it's useless. Cao Xiangrong said coldly. You're amazing! You still say you're an ordinary person? I joked.
He smiled, "I'm also a feng shui master, but I'm not a fake master like Hong Liang who cheats money with his mouth!" I am a person from Maoshan Doumen, and I have spent more than 30 years researching this nameless ancient tomb. In three days, I'll find a way to crack it! ”
I laughed, "You're also a wonder, your life is gone, what's the point of digging up the ancient tomb?" He snorted coldly, "If I want to be reborn, I must dig up the ancient tomb and find the secret of ancient immortality!" You are my sacrifice to the ghost king of the underground palace! ”
Chen Shan pointed at him, "Cao Xiangrong, you are a master of the Dao, such a despicable act, you are not afraid of being punished by heaven?" Cao Xiangrong smiled yin, "Say I'm despicable? Are there not many vile and filthy people in the world? Can you ask yourself, are you a noble person? Can you do without a little calculation of your own? There are many people in the world who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and have a belly full of pickled ideas! ”
I don't want to quarrel with him, I just want to leave early. I took out the soul gourd and recited the mantra in my heart. Cao Xiangrong said coldly: "That old madman's thing is useless to me!" "He pinched a trick, and the gourd fell apart in my hand.
Chen Shan clasped my hand and read the scriptures silently. "Maoshan Secret Sutra! What is your identity as a woman? Cao Xiangrong was a little panicked. Chen Shan didn't stop, I bit my finger and drew a talisman in the air. A golden light pressed up, and a black shadow was enveloped.
Cao Xiangrong resisted desperately, and the two of us could only hold on to him. At this moment, a dark shadow came up from downstairs. Before we could see clearly, Cao Xiangrong was knocked down by a black shadow. Cao Xiangrong, who was caught off guard, was pulled and fell.
The shadows cleared, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the two of us standing in the hall. When I walked out of the hall door, I saw that there was no light in the guard's room. The gate was open, and a car was parked in the doorway. I looked stunned for a moment, isn't that the No. 64 car I drove?
I was a little puzzled, when we got out of the car, the doors were closed, who drove the car? We walked over, the door was open, and there was no one in the car. When I got into the car, I saw a puddle of water on the driver's seat. There were also traces of water on the ground.
I sat in the driver's seat, closed the door and started the car. Chen Shan sat next to me, vigilantly checking the situation in the car. "This is a skilled hand driving the car! But why did he leave the car and the people left? Chen Shan was puzzled.
I followed the road of the commons and drove out. By the light of the headlights, I saw a man on the side of the road in front of me. His body seemed to be soaked, and his stiff and thin body was like a dead tree in the cold wind. I am familiar with that person, and so is Chen Shan. I shouted in surprise: "That's Lao Wu!" ”
I wanted to stop, but Chen Shan hurriedly stopped, "Don't stop!" Keep it on! "The car approached, and I saw that he was covered in algae sludge. His hands and feet were swollen, and he had no shoes on his feet, and as he walked, the soles of his feet were still dripping with black water.
I didn't dare to look any further, and with a flick of the accelerator, the car whizzed past him. "Thank you, Old Wu!" I said silently in my heart. I saw in the rearview mirror that behind him, there was a string of dark shadows.
When I was some distance away from the construction site, I felt the body shake. A dull rumble was heard in my ears. "Is the house down?" I asked Chen Shan. "No, it's that little dirt mountain that has collapsed!" Chen Shan said.
When the car drives onto the road, you can still feel the earth shaking. "Tomorrow, there should be big news on Zhongzhou TV!" Chen Shan said. I asked her, "Sanshan, what do you mean by the news?" Chen Shan smiled, "That must be the news of the discovery of the ancient tomb!" ”
I touched the drawings in my pocket and had mixed feelings. "Shanshan, if there is nothing in the ancient tomb, will some people be very disappointed?" I looked at the sky in the distance. "Do you hope that her plan will succeed?"
There was silence in the car, and Chen Shan's problem was almost unsolvable. The cars drove all the way to Muxi Town, and they were all empty. When he returned, he took only three businessmen who had gone to the city to catch the train. Back at the terminus, I think Tian Dabang will be furious. As a result, I was greeted by an old man with gray hair.
"Dad! Why are you here? Chen Shan shouted. I was stunned for a moment, this is the general manager of the bus company, Jia Haoyu, that is, Jia Qianqian and Wu Shan's father. "I'll pick you and Qin Feng home, I have something to tell you!" Jia Haoyu looked at us very seriously.
