Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Nineteen: The Strange Heart of Man

"Found your note, sorry, it's been partially burned."

When he got outside, Qiu Shaohu handed the notes back to An Jin and said with these apologies.

An Jin took the burnt notebook and didn't say a word, perhaps feeling sad.

Qiu Shaohu wanted to comfort the other party, so he said: "Books are just things that record words, words are born of wisdom, and where knowledge is, books are immortal." You ...... too. Don't get too anxious. ”

"Wisdom is born of the heart, and when the heart beats, wisdom is imperishable. Is the view of Mingxinxue correct? An Jin suddenly said, "I've read this sentence." However, sometimes I wonder if I should listen to this sentence since Mingxinxue emphasizes that 'wisdom is not due to external appearances, it is completely natural, and virtuous people can find it', but this sentence is originally used by Mingxinxue to inform disciples to follow, and firmly believe that wisdom comes from one's own Mingxinxue, should I listen to this sentence? ”

"If you say that, it's an endless cycle, endless. However, this is not the original intention of Mingxinxue. Go with the heart, since the heart yearns, listen to the heart to do, this is what Mingxin wants to emphasize, and it is enough to do what you think is right. Qiu Shaohu smiled slightly and said, "If Feng Wanshu wakes up at your house, just let him go back." I have something else to do now, and I'm going to leave for a while. ”

After speaking, without waiting for An Jin to reply, Qiu Shaohu left here.

The investigation of the grave is even more important now.

Seeing Qiu Shaohu disappear and leave, An Jin didn't say anything. He just flipped through the half-burned notebook and looked at the fragments on it, flipping through the pages.

The font on it is neat and neat, not very elegant, but vigorous and powerful. Just as the person who writes never deliberately connects with calligraphy, but strives for the handwriting to be clear and understandable.

On the last page of the book, the words "Time Memory" are written.

This is not An Jin's notes at all, but a record collected from Shi Yi.

The young man's eyes were like raindrops falling on the surface of the water, causing countless ripples, which was incomprehensible.

……

Leaving the ink shop, Qiu Shaohu began to investigate who was the owner behind the ink shop.

There are many shops in the capital, and the relationship behind each one is inextricably linked, which brings considerable difficulty to Qiu Shaohu.

Qiu Shaohu has just arrived, and he has no foundation, so it is naturally difficult to investigate this kind of thing.

Fortunately, Huang Yue's group of subordinates were also quite clever, and they passed through this line, but that night, they found out the way to it, led by Huang Yue, Qiu Shaohu went straight to the outskirts of Kangjing.

"It's quite desolate here, not like the spirit of the capital." Qiu Shaohu glanced at Huang Yue, who was leading the way, and said.

The further forward this place is, the more dilapidated it becomes, and unlike the neglect near the cemetery, the strange trees and branches are completely inaccessible and desolate. The majestic shadow under the darkness in front of him, the dust rolled up in the night wind, and the gloomy voice sounded extremely depressing.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that in the capital, there will be a complete mountain lying here, cutting off the sight of the north and south.

"If there is prosperity, there will also be poverty, is this the truth of the world? It's like the capital is full of dignitaries, and there are still people like me living in the corner. Huang Yue smiled faintly, but the corners of his eyes were full of gloom.

"But you still chose to come here, didn't you?" Qiu Shaohu said.

"This is Haoshan, it is rumored that the founding emperor of Zhaoguo once worshipped the sky here, and he can hear the voice of Haotian, so it is named." Huang Yue obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, and continued: "My people found out that the clues related to that ink shop are here. ”

"Hiding in the mountains of the capital?" Qiu Shaohu asked rhetorically, "Since the other party opened the ink shop in such a conspicuous place, he just wanted to 'hide in the city', why did he do the opposite, but came to 'hide in the wild'?" ”

"You people who read a lot and know so many ways, I don't understand, anyway, those people are inside, why don't you go and see it yourself?" Huang Yue shrugged his shoulders and continued.

Qiu Shaohu smiled and didn't continue to ask.

The two of them walked along the foot of the mountain, and after a while, they saw a path, full of low grass and winding paths, which was obviously stepped on by someone for a long time. Walking side by side, the path twists and turns, following it to the depths of the mountain, and the surroundings are becoming more and more eerie and secretive.

In the end, a looming cave appeared in the eyes of the two.

There was no light in that cave, and I don't know what was hidden in it.

"Perhaps, someone is in there." Huang Yue pointed there and was about to move forward.

"Wait a minute," Qiu Shaohu suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said, "This road can accommodate the two of us." ”

"What are you talking about?" Huang Yue didn't understand.

"I mean, haven't you noticed that the whole path seems to be too spacious, and it is more than enough for the two of us to walk together," Qiu Shaohu said directly: "The deep mountain path should be extremely secret, but this road is so wide, which proves that there are usually many people passing here." ”

"Perhaps, there are a lot of them." Huang Yuedao.

"Not only that, but the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds, but the entrance to the cave is exceptionally flat, which cannot have been stepped on by a person, but must have been cleared out by someone; There are still traces of dragging on the ground, which proves that not long ago there were various things there, but they were temporarily accompanied; There are some ashes left over from the burning at the entrance of the cave, which proves that the people who are usually inside will set fire to the light, but at this time it is dark inside. ”

Qiu Shaohu seemed to smile and said: "And your performance just now, as soon as you saw that hole, you couldn't wait to move forward, and you didn't hesitate at all, where is your usual cautious and cunning appearance." The only explanation is that you're used to walking here, and you know exactly what's inside! ”

Huang Yue's cold sweat oozed out, and immediately after that, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the pipa bone was even about to crack, and he shouted with bared teeth for a while.

Qiu Shaohu said coldly: "This is simply the place where you beggars usually hide and live!" Tell me, who the hell colluded with you to harm me here! ”

From the moment he approached here, Qiu Shaohu felt that something was wrong, but he still couldn't be sure. It wasn't until the clues along the way that he finally affirmed that Huang Yue, a person who had received his favor, finally betrayed him.

How not to make him angry.

"Bang!" In the grass, there was a cacophony of noises, followed by a roar. The beggars who had been hiding there before rushed out one after another, raising their tiger head guns and firing at Qiu Shaohu continuously.

Although Huang Yue didn't send them the agreed code, these beggars gathered for a living on weekdays, and they were the most righteous, and as soon as they heard the leader's screams, they rushed out in a hurry to rob people, regardless of whether the plan was broken, and whether the quick shooting would hurt Huang Yue.

The sparks flying in the sky, like fireflies, rushed towards Qiu Shaohu.

Qiu Shaohu directly shook off his clothes, and the wolf skin was worn by him outside, with his back to Mars, and the invulnerable Jie Shi wolf skin blocked those one after another. Although these beggars' fast guns are ordnance, it is obviously difficult for them to get consumables such as projectiles, and the ones fired are all iron sand, and the power is really much smaller.

At the same time, he also protected Huang Yue behind him, not caring about the other party's life, but afraid that this traitor was really dead, and he would have one less hostage in his hand, which would always make the other party throw a mouse.

The smoke and dust fell, seeing that those beggars were holding spears one after another, and they had already rushed over with their teeth and claws, Qiu Shaohu's eyes were cold, and the Karasuma short knife in his clothes was pulled out, which was not as good as the mentality of just teasing them before, and now he was ready to play with this group of beggars.

"Quick...... Let's go ......" Huang Yue looked at his little brother, grinning and wanting to remind, he knew how much the lord in front of him had murderous intentions, but as soon as he was about to speak, Qiu Shaohu used his strength again, and the pain was so painful that he held back the next words.

Before he could change his mind, Qiu Shaohu suddenly felt a strong force surging from his left side, and Huang Yue, who was holding it in his left hand, grabbed him out of nowhere, and rushed towards the other side.

Looking down, I saw that a black gas spread along Huang Yue's body, along the other party's shoulder, and continued to spread towards his side, and the fingertips of Qiu Shaohu's hand holding his hand had also faintly turned black, restless pitch black, like countless insects, and began to sneak into his body along his fingers.

Qiu Shaohu wanted to let go of this scourge, but he didn't move at all, Huang Yue's body was like a whirlpool, firmly sucking his palm, and he really couldn't leave at all.

Qiu Shaohu was ruthless in his heart, and the short knife in his right hand swung out, directly cutting off Huang Yue's arm to get out. The strength of his left hand suddenly used into the void, and the whole body jumped backwards involuntarily.

Huang Yue screamed, grabbed the broken arm and fell to the ground. Qiu Shaohu used the true qi of his body to resist the black qi entering his body, and at the same time, he saw that a vague figure suddenly rushed in front of him, with three punches and two kicks, and his body was surrounded by a strong wind.

Qiu Shaohu was about to try to dismantle the move, but he only heard a few "clicks", and the whole figure on the opposite side suddenly exploded in front of his eyes. The torn body, but each piece seemed to have life, one arm and one foot could move alone, constantly attacking around Qiu Shaohu. Seeing this kind of scene in front of them almost makes people have no time to be frightened, the weird moves, out of the shackles of the body, hit every completely unexpected place, and people can't guard against it.

Qiu Shaohu was as fast as the wind, protecting his body, and the water could not be splashed. The blade of cold light appeared, and every part of the limbs was cut off by him, but every part of the shattered quickly reunited into another mass of flesh and blood, and attacked him again.

At this moment, those beggars also rushed up. Although it was shocking enough to see the limbs flying in the sky, they usually mingled in the dark places in the city, and they had seen all kinds of strange things, and after a short period of stunned thought, they came back to their senses again and participated in the siege of Qiu Shaohu together.

"Jingle bell ......" The sound of a bell swayed the heart, making the air present sluggish. Then, as if they had seen the most terrible scene in their lives, the beggars who approached wailed and cried out.

Even those broken limbs flying in the sky, the pieces of minced flesh were frozen in place at this time, unable to move.

The heart-wrenching bell rang, giving Qiu Shaohu a precious opportunity, the red sun talisman was thrown out one by one, the scorching breath soaked the earth, and the fierce fire was like pouring oil, rising suddenly by the wind, swallowing those broken limbs one by one.
