Zheng Mingxian sat up straighter and said with a smile: "You are Cheng Man's friend, he can trust you, and I naturally can trust you too." ”

Lin Wu put away the pendant and asked, "What is this pendant made of?" ”

At the mention of this, Zheng Mingxian's expression was slightly condensed.

He said: "Three years ago, I went to Lingnan. ”

Lin Wu couldn't help but be stunned, it was three years ago again? Or Lingnan?

Zheng Mingxian said: "At that time, I listened to my father's words and went to Lingnan to find a rare rough stone, so that it could be the treasure of the town fair at the auction later." But when I arrived in Lingnan, I encountered a strange thing. ”

"Strange things?"

"Hmm. I remember that it was in the Lingnan Da Yu Ridge, a place called Zhangjia Village, and there were rumors that the rough stone I was looking for was there, but I asked the local villagers, and no one had heard of the rough stone I was looking for. After searching for many days to no avail, I prepared to leave and look elsewhere. ”

"However, on the night I was leaving, an expedition team came from the mountains behind Zhangjia Village and stayed in my homestay. I was on the first floor and saw that the group was soaking wet, all of them were very white, and I scared the staff at the guest house. ”

In retrospect, Zheng Mingxian frowned, and seemed to have some palpitations.

He sighed: "I thought they probably had been wandering around the mountains for a long time to find out, so they were so embarrassed, so I didn't pay much attention and went back to my room to rest." But the next morning, the staff of the B&B found that they had all disappeared. ”

"Disappear?" Lin Wu was stunned.

Zheng Mingxian nodded, "It's a very strange kind of disappearance." The staff said that they were still seen in the first half of the night, and they disappeared in the second half of the night. And in their rooms, the doors and windows are locked inside, and their things are still there, not necessarily just their people. ”

Lin Wu's eyes fell on the pendant in her hand, and she asked, "What does that have to do with this pendant?" ”

Zheng Mingxian said softly: "When the team arrived at the B&B at night, I was sitting on the first floor to eat, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of them checking out, the zipper of the backpack was open, revealing the contents inside, there was this kind of stone. Their backpacks look heavy, and in my experience, they're definitely full of stones. ”

In other words, they were all loaded with a backpack full of these stones.

"The next day, when the staff said they weren't there, I went to look at it. Their things were there, but the stones were gone. Zheng Mingxian said.

Lin Wu frowned and questioned bluntly: "How can you be sure that the stone they brought is the material for my pendant?" ”

Zheng Mingxian smiled: "Miss Daosheng, don't you think this is a bit presumptuous for a person who takes gambling stones as his net worth?" When I was seven years old, I began to study gambling with my father, and by the time I was twenty, I already knew all kinds of stones in the world. ”

Lin Wu heard the same.

Zheng Mingxian said again: "So at that time, I also asked them if they could take a closer look, and they could also offer a high price, but they immediately rejected me, took the room number and went up." The next day, seeing that they were gone, I didn't have anything to gain, so I left Zhangjia Village. In the end, I managed to find a working rough stone somewhere else, and I left Lingnan. ”

After a pause, Zheng Mingxian added: "Later, I remembered that I had never seen this rough stone, and I checked a lot of information in private, and I barely found it until last year, which seems to be a unique ore in a sinkhole deep in the Great Yuling Mountains in Lingnan, and the substances contained are not very good for the human body." At this point, I gave up looking for it. ”

Hearing this, Lin Wu's heart jumped.

Sure enough, the extra radioactive elements in Grandpa's body were caused by it!

Lin Wu asked: "If you use it to make a peace charm and carry it with you, in addition to being harmful to the human body, what other effect does it have?" ”

She always felt that Lin Shenghai would not beg Master Zhang to get a piece for the old man at a high price just because of this.

There must be something else.

Zheng Mingxian shook his head, "That's all I know." ”

"Alright then, thank you." Lin Wu had no choice but to say.

Fortunately, knowing this information is also a breakthrough.

Seeing that the time was not early, Lin Wu got up and said, "That piece of jade, I will send it to you when I go back, and say goodbye." ”

Zheng Mingxian also got up, nodded gently, and sent Lin Wu out.

Until Lin Wu's figure disappeared from sight, Uncle Huang finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked quickly to Zheng Mingxian's side, and said, "Shaodong, why do you tell her!" ”

Zheng Mingxian walked back and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip to moisten his throat.

He said: "Earlier, I checked the original stone of Daosheng's pendant, and after checking and checking, I found that there was an unknown force in Lingnan that was active, and it seemed that it was aimed at the Five Elements. But none of the people sent were missing, and the investigation had to be interrupted. Unexpectedly, not long ago, the people of Xuanmen also discovered an anomaly through a case and found it there. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Mingxian's expression condensed.

"My father plans to watch this matter from the sidelines, so as not to break the manpower of Shi Xing again. But the person who is tracking down on the Xuanmen side is Cheng Man, how can I stand idly by? What if Cheng Man also encountered danger if he investigated? ”

Uncle Huang sighed: "Cheng Tianshi is the lifeblood of Xuanmen, he will be fine." ”

Zheng Mingxian shook his head: "Then I can't ignore Cheng Man." Moreover, we had always thought that this group of forces was only entrenched in Lingnan, but the pendant brought by Daosheng showed that its people had already appeared in Beicheng, but we didn't find it. If it weren't for Daosheng, maybe he wouldn't have found out later. ”

He looked up at Uncle Huang, "Uncle Huang, have you ever thought that this group of people can appear in Beicheng unnoticed, and they can appear in other places of the Five Elements." ”

Uncle Huang's expression froze.

After a long time, Uncle Huang asked, "Then do you want to inform Cheng Tianshi about these things?" ”

Zheng Mingxian knocked on the table thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he shook his head, put his glasses on the tip of his fingers, and said calmly: "Cheng Man just started to investigate, presumably he hasn't found too much, so there is no need to tell him." lest he know that he must go deeper. Now that Dao Sheng has begun to investigate, let's see how far Dao Sheng will find. ”

Uncle Huang couldn't help but say, "That Daosheng is a little girl!" She...... What can she find? ”

Zheng Mingxian smiled, "Uncle Huang, don't underestimate people too much. Since Cheng Man praises her, it shows that she is a person with great means. ”

"......"

"Alright, that's it, don't say any more."

Zheng Mingxian interrupted Uncle Huang's words, then stood up, and said in a relaxed tone: "After Daosheng sends Cheng Man's jade back, I will go back to Beijing, find Cheng Man, and return the jade to him." ”

When Uncle Huang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Why do you bother to get it back from Dao Sheng? Anyway, the jade was also carved by you, wouldn't it be better if you carved another piece for Cheng Tianshi? ”

"It's different," Zheng Mingxian shook his head, "That is my first gift to Cheng Man." ”

At the same time, Lin Wu, who was out of the black market, suddenly received a message from Bo Yuting.

[The pendant you want to check, I've found it.] 】

[The rough stone from a sinkhole in Lingnan Dayuling, where it is very dangerous, very few people can enter and come out unharmed, so the rough stone circulating in the market is very rare, and the price is extremely expensive. 】

[The last circulation was more than half a month ago, when Zhang Yuge, a famous master Zhang in Beicheng, sold three pendants made of the original stone. In addition to your grandfather, the other ones bought were the Zhao family and the Chen family in Beicheng, and they were all bought for the old man of their family. 】

[However, the old men of these two families passed away one after another shortly after receiving the pendant. 】
