Chapter 32: An Unexpected Plot Sideline
Just when a few people surrounded Lei Shan and asked this and that, the door of the Great Gu Master's mansion was knocked again.
Wei Shufen felt a little strange, it was already night, and the people in the village usually wouldn't come to disturb the Great Gu Master's rest, but when she heard the knock on the door, she must have been in a hurry, so she went to open the door.
I saw a man dressed as Miao standing outside the door, carrying a hunting bow on his shoulder, as soon as Wei Shufen opened the door, the man rushed in, and when he saw the big Gu master, he bowed his head.
"Great Gu Master, it's been two days since my son left the village yesterday, but he still hasn't come back, please allow me and my mother-in-law to go out of the village to find him."
The Great Gu Master had already regained his original majesty at this time, and when he saw that it was a person from the village, he asked: "Rong Bao Ming, don't worry, let's make it clear first, if you don't make it clear, how can I approve it?"
Hearing the Great Gu Master shouting the man's name, Lei Shandian felt familiar for a while, and silently rummaged through his memory.
And the man named Rong Bao Yuming, after being asked by the big Gu master, also cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Yesterday morning, there were a few merchants in our village who exchanged salt and daily necessities for mountain goods, my son Rong Bao Yuxiao was smart since he was a child, and he also learned official dialect from you, so he acted as a translator for them, and then some of those businessmen proposed to take a look at the scenery of the bottle mountain not far from our village, and invited my son to be a guide, for the sake of them promising a lot of salt, my mother-in-law and I agreed to let Rong Bao Xiaoxiao follow, It stands to reason that if you just look at the scenery, you should be back this morning, but he hasn't come back yet, do you think something will happen to him? β
The Great Gu Master closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's dark in the mountains now, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts, even if you are good at hunting, your mother-in-law will also have some Gu techniques, but it is still very dangerous, it is better to wait for tomorrow dawn, I will let the others in the village accompany you." β
It was only then that Lei Shan remembered that he seemed to have seen this situation in his previous life, but it was not in "Under One Man", but another book called Ghost Blowing the Lamp, which was later adapted into a TV series, and the plot at the beginning of it was like this.
Immediately, Lei Shan pretended to pinch his fingers in front of everyone, and then asked tentatively: "Great Gu Master, may I ask if the people in your village go into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine, can they often pick up copper sheets or utensils with strange characters printed on them?" β
The Great Gu Master was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lei Shan with a little surprise: "Young Master Lei, where did you know that?" β
Lei Shan secretly said "sure enough" in his heart, but he casually said nonsense: "I know some warlocks' methods, and I just calculated a hexagram." β
Then he looked at Rong Bao Yuming again: "I think your son is in danger at the moment, but I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back." β
Rong Bao Yuming's mother-in-law is a Gu master, and he himself is naturally half of the people in the circle of inhumans, and he also knows what kind of profession a warlock is, and he was immediately relieved to hear that his son was safe, but when he heard that his son couldn't come back for the time being, his heart that had just been put down was raised again.
"This son, why do you say that my son can't come back in the past few days?"
The old god Lei Shan told him on the ground: "According to my calculation just now, those who are looking for your son to be a guide are not businessmen, they are either soldiers or the ringing horses of Changsheng Mountain, there is a big tomb in the bottle mountain you said, they want your son to be a guide and go deep into the bottle mountain to rob the tomb, your son is greedy for a small price, and he will go with him, and it will naturally take a few days to come back." β
The Great Gu Master frowned when he heard this, and Wei Shufen shouted angrily: "Those Tufuzi who are in the line of unloading the mountains are really bold, they don't want to die if they want money, right, they even stretched out their hands to the boundary of our Qinghe Village without saying a word!" It's the other way around! I'm going to get rid of this scourge of not accumulating yin virtue! β
After speaking, Wei Shufen turned around and walked out the door, but was pulled back by Lei Shan.
The Great Gu Master looked at Wei Shufen with some displeasure: "They are all people who are about to get married, why do you still shout and kill at every turn, there is no qualitative at all, how do I usually teach you?" β
Wei Shufen's head was raised: "But there is a corpse king in the tomb of that bottle mountain, and the Liu family has gone to collect it several times to no avail. β
"Ahh How can this be, then isn't my son dangerous, Great Gu Master, our family is just one seedling, if he has something three long and two short, how can we live in the future! Please, Great Gu Master, let us go, we promise to come back when we find our son. β
Rong Bao became worried again when he heard this, and continued to beg the Great Gu Master to agree to let him go out to look for him overnight.
Lei Shan's heart moved, and suddenly thought of the nest of rare poisons in the bottle mountain and the six-winged centipede that had almost become a monster, and saw that Rong Bao was pitiful, thinking that this was also a point, so he said: "This old brother, if you can trust me, let me go to find your son for you, and you can go back and wait for the news with peace of mind." β
Rong Bao Yuming was overjoyed: "Thank you! Thank you! Shufen is a great Gu master and a high apprentice, and I can naturally trust you to come forward. β
After some thanks, Rong Bao ran out of the courtyard, and he wanted to go back and tell his mother-in-law about the matter.
Looking at Rong Bao Ming, who was far away, Wei Shufen asked a little strangely: "Lei Shan, it's the first time you and Uncle Rong Bao Yu Ming have met, why did you agree to help so easily?" β
Lei Shan smiled: "Since it's from your village, then you can help a little bit, anyway, I have the means, it's much safer than them going to the mountains to look for it by themselves......"
Wei Shufen saw Lei Shan's kindness in helping people they met for the first time, and she liked it more and more in her heart.
Then she heard Lei Shan continue: "Moreover, if I am good, the substitute for your Earth Dragon King on this trip is in place, and it is guaranteed to be only strong and not weak." β
Hearing this, Wei Shufen suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face: "Really! Then I'm going with you! There are a lot of poisonous insects and miasma in the mountains, and I don't worry about you going alone. β
After speaking, Wei Shufen picked up Lei Shan and rushed out in a hurry.
Leaving the village, Rayshan summoned the general, Scorpion, Serket, from the Pantheon.
As soon as she came out, Serkite waved her pincers and swung her scorpion tail again, and after a period of flaunting, she prostrated in front of Lei Shan, who knew from the feelings she transmitted that she was happy that she was called out one step ahead of the spider.
"I didn't expect it to be useful as soon as it came out, let's go, Serket, let's go into the mountains and find someone."
Lei Shan took Wei Shufen to jump on the back of the scorpion, and then patted Serket's head affectionately, asking her to withdraw the thorns on her back, while Serket hissed as if the taxi driver was reminding passengers to sit down, and carried the two of them effortlessly towards the mountain.
