When Gu Qingzhang heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what kind of immortal is enshrined in this Yuanmen Temple?" ”

When it comes to this, the eldest lady is not sleepy.

She raised her eyebrows triumphantly and said, "Little Housheng, are you afraid that we will be deceived?" Let me tell you, what is enshrined in this Yuanmen view is the Three Qings of the Eight Classics. ”

Since it was not a cult, Gu Qingzhang put his mind at ease and didn't ask any more.

When he returned to his residence, he saw Yang Susu coming back with him with a basket.

"You are," Gu Qingzhang looked her up and down, and said strangely, "You just came back from the incense on the edge gate?" ”

Yang Susu's face was dazed: "What kind of fate, Master Hou?" The concubine doesn't know what Taoist temple is. ”

She took out the basket and lifted the cloth covered by the basket, and Gu Qingzhang saw that it was full of white and fat steamed buns.

"The concubine heard that the plague was rampant outside," Yang Susu explained, "I guess that although there are a lot of displaced people, I specially made some steamed buns to see if I can help some victims." ”

She was one step behind, letting Gu Qingzhang go first, and the two crossed the threshold together.

Yang Susu's tone was a little puzzled: "I didn't expect this Yanling to be so rich, not only did there be no victims, but there was not even a beggar on the street." ”

"It's really strange, but I heard that Jiangnan is indeed rich, and now that I look at it, it's really like this."

The speaker had no intention, the listener had a heart, and the inexplicable strange feeling that had been haunting Gu Qingzhang's heart was suddenly completely answered at this moment.

He immediately froze in place, and the whole person was enlightened.

"I know," Gu Qingzhang muttered, "I finally know what's wrong." ”

The absence of the victims and beggars sounded particularly good, as if under the governance of the local officials, the government was harmonious, and the people were able to settle down and have plenty of food and clothing.

But this matter does not stand up to any scrutiny.

Even in times of peace and prosperity, it is inevitable that people will be displaced and homeless, not to mention that the world outside is not safe now.

Just as Gu Qingzhang was standing on the spot in disbelief, a personal soldier hurriedly ran in from outside.

He saw Ning Anhou standing at the door, and hurriedly gasped and called him: "Master Hou! ”

Gu Qingzhang turned his head.

The soldiers looked left and right without a trace before stepping through the door and closing the door of the inn.

Seeing his careful actions, even Yang Susu couldn't help frowning.

Gu Qingzhang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldiers glanced at Yang Susu, and after the latter received the look, he quickly said goodbye with interest.

After she left, the soldiers came up to him and whispered, "Master Hou, Lord Gua Er dug up something outside Yanling City. ”

Gu Qingzhang's intuition felt wrong, and he asked, "What did you dig up?" ”

The soldier swallowed and said, "Bones, human bones." ”

*

In order not to attract attention, Gu Qingzhang has been patiently staying in Yanling City from morning to noon, and even had a happy lunch with Li Wen and others before proposing to go outside the city.

Li Wen's face didn't show any change, and he asked with concern: "But what is there about Xia Guan to snub you?" ”

"No," Gu Qingzhang shook his head, "It's just that the soldiers are already stationed outside the city, and Ben Hou always has to go and see what happens." ”

This is indeed the truth, and Liwen can't say anything to refuse.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingzhang went directly out of Yanling City and went straight to the suburbs.

When he arrived, his soldiers had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Hou," he explained to the other party, "Master Gua originally planned to go hunting in the wild, but accidentally found the bones buried in the soil. ”

Gu Qingzhang: ......

If he's not mistaken, that's how Gua Er discovered iron ore last time.

He pressed the corners of his forehead with a headache and asked, "Do you know how many people have died, and what is their identity?" ”

The soldier shook his head: "Lord Gua is in that place now, because I am not sure what the specific situation is, so I would like you to go and see it for yourself and make a decision." ”

Gu Qingzhang was led by his own soldiers and soon came to the place where Gua Er found the bones.

When he arrived, Gua Er was swimming in the nearby river, and he saw Gu Qingzhang coming from a distance, so he happily swam up to the shallows.

He stood up happily and waved his hand: "Master Hou, come and rinse the water!" ”

Gu Qingzhang: "...... You called me here just to see your pile of white flesh? ”

Gua Er went ashore unhappily and muttered, "What are you talking nonsense, how can this be said to be fat?" ”

Anyway, there were big men around, so he simply hit him shirtless and walked under a big tree.

"That's where I dug it," Gua Er stomped on the ground under his feet, "I was peeing under this tree, but I didn't expect to see a corner of my clothes." ”

He continued: "As a result, I pulled it all the way down and found a leg bone. ”

Under the shade of the tree, not far away, lay a leg bone, on which the flesh and blood of the human had completely rotted, I am afraid that he had been dead for a few days, but I don't know when he died.

Gu Qingzhang didn't approach rashly, but asked, "Only this one?" ”

"In the troubled times," Gua Er scratched his arm, "a corpse called you over with great fanfare, then my braincase is really a bag, and I want to abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

Ning Anhou commented sharply: "Yes, Qi Si is indeed more suitable for this position than you." ”

The sunlight spilled down the gap in the leaves and fell to the ground, and part of the sunlight shone on Gu Qingzhang's face, reflecting his sharp and smooth side face on the ground.

From Gua Er's point of view, he could only see Gu Qingzhang's stiff nose bridge and the deep blue of his left eye, which was as deep as the sea.

Gu Qingzhang twisted his sword eyebrows and asked the soldiers standing next to him to hand over the shovel.

"Not just one person, how many exactly?" With a little strength in his hands, he dug down, "I just don't know who it is." ”

After digging for a while, the scorching weather made him have to pause, Gu Qingzhang motioned for others to dig together, and at the same time took off his shirt neatly, and played shirtless like Gua Er.

It's just that Gua Er's shirtlessness can only show how big his "belly" is, but Gu Qingzhang is different.

His abs are well defined and his skin has a healthy bronzer.

Gu Qingzhang picked up the shovel and dug down, the thick biceps muscles bulged up because of the strength of the arm, and there were green tendons on it that kept beating.

Dripping sweat ran down the forehead, from the forehead through the Adam's apple, and down the wheat-colored muscles.

The more he dug down, the more serious Gu Qingzhang's expression became, he pursed his thin lips, realizing that this matter was not so simple.

Because a few of them dug up for half an hour, and dug up the corpses of countless people, but they still did not dig up cleanly.

Gu Qingzhang threw down the shovel in annoyance and walked to the stream to wash it.

Wet hands brushed up the broken hair on his forehead, revealing his smooth forehead, Gu Qingzhang's sharp eyebrows and eyes shone in the sunlight.

He let out a long breath: "With so many bones, what the hell is going on here?" ”
