Chapter 64. Look for pine nuts

Originally, I was just a little anxious, but when I saw my ID card, this feeling turned into a worry.

If Matsuko really said goodbye and didn't take some of his clothes or his belongings, I would take it as if he was trying to confuse us, but there was absolutely no reason not to take his ID card. Although in those days, it was not necessary to buy things in a car or car, but the ID card had everyone's date of birth and the name of their family, and Matsuko was a person who studied metaphysics, and of course he knew how much damage would be caused to him if these information were grasped by people with ulterior motives.

So since his ID card is here, it means that he didn't say goodbye, but went out by himself, but for some reason, he didn't return.

I told Qin Bukong about my speculation, these days, Qin Bukong and Songzi always like to quarrel, and the relationship between the two is naturally not much better, I originally thought that I would be ridiculed by Qin Bukong when I said this, who knew that he actually stood up, picked up the key on the table, and then said to me, let's go, what are you doing in a daze? Let's find someone.

If you talk about finding people, in fact, the best way is to use Qimen Dunjia, but that can only give me a general direction and some coincidental phenomena. More accurate than this, is my soldier and horse incense, because the ID card of the pine nut is still there, and there can only be one person behind this document, let the soldiers and horses take these information to find, it should be able to find, but although the pine nut is chicken, but after all, it is a person in the Xuanmen, and I don't know if he has done some precautions for himself, if he does, even if there are eight characters, it will be more difficult for my soldiers and horses to find him.

Just in case, I still brought enough equipment, and after going out, Qin Bukong and I went separately, and made an appointment for two hours, no matter whether we found anyone or not, we had to go home.

It's nighttime, the streets are becoming less crowded, and the streets that have been bustling during the day are now quiet, with the occasional sound of talking and the radio of an old-fashioned radio coming from the windows of other people's homes. I could even hear the rustle of newspapers flying on the ground as the night breeze blew, the barking of stray dogs, and the sound of cats trampling on roof tiles. I searched aimlessly, and found nothing.

Two hours later, I went home in a huff, and the moment Qin Bukong pushed the door in, the look on his face told me that he hadn't found anything either. I couldn't even see a figure for two days in a row, and in terms of Matsuko's character, he was polite, and he definitely wouldn't be so rude, and he didn't even say hello. So Qin Bukong and I began to discuss, and came to a conclusion that Songzi was probably in some trouble, otherwise it would never be so abnormal.

When he thought of this, Qin Bukong said to me, we haven't used Qimen to find people before, and I think it's probably worth a try now. I nodded, my Qimen is generally calculated with the palm of my hand, whether the pine nuts are fortified or not, I have to look for it and try it first.

So I divided the palm of my left hand into nine squares, and began to follow the name and date of birth on Matsuko's ID card, as well as the time of his disappearance. Soon I got a hexagram:

"Hexagram Luokun Second Palace, belonging to the earth, southwest. The master's left arm, chest, abdomen. The meaning of this hexagram is not difficult to understand, the reason why the pine nuts have not returned for a long time is because they are in the southwest of this place, and the reason why they do not return is because of their left arm, chest, and abdomen. Qin Bukong quickly compared the direction, and the location in the southwest happened to be the direction of the stone pillar in the center of the formation. But Qin Bukong stayed there all day, I'm afraid there was no way for Songzi to hide there without Qin Bukong noticing, right?

Qin Bukong asked me, do you think this kid will go to the hole he dug before? I was stunned and asked, what is he doing there? And why not go openly? Qin Bukong said that he didn't know either, but now it seems that there is indeed such a possibility. Otherwise, let's go down and find out?

I said to Qin Bukong, don't go, I'll move quickly and I'll go alone, anyway, it's pitch black in this cave, and it's day and night. When the time was approaching, although I was not afraid, after all, I had had several vicious fights in the cave before, and I was still a little hairy when I walked alone, but I couldn't let Qin Bukong see my timidity, so I grabbed a flashlight and a kerosene lamp and jumped into the tunnel.

I didn't make many stops on the way, but when I got to the center of the formation, it took a lot of effort to get into that little hole. Since the pine nuts were dug in the forward direction when they were digging the hole before, it is really difficult for me to walk in the opposite direction now. This is the first time I've been to this cave, but fortunately there is only one path, so I don't have to worry about going wrong. After meandering for almost half an hour, the terrain suddenly turned into a bottom-up direction. I guess where I'm now, where Matsuko said he had dug too much. However, the road up was much easier, and soon after I climbed a few potholes, the space suddenly opened up a lot, and a smell of water hit, and I shone it with a flashlight, only to realize that where I am now is actually a sewer.

It was a sewer, but there was no water. Only around the corner is there a small stream of water, a thin stream. The ground around it was damp, but it was dry to the touch, just because there were a lot of mosses growing on it. It seems that this section of sewer has not been put into use, and belongs to the kind that has been abandoned for a long time. I found some footprints in the sewers, but they had been here for a long time, and they seemed to be the ones left when Matsuko was looking for someone to dig the hole, and the recent ones are completely gone.

So I didn't look any further, because I was sure that Matsuko had never been here, at least for the two days he had been missing. Both ends of the sewer were very deep, and if I had continued to go the wrong way, I decided to go back the way I came, just to be on the safe side. By the time I got back to the surface out of breath, it was past two o'clock in the morning.

Qin Bukong hadn't slept yet, but had been looking around with the door open in the hall, as if he was waiting for Songzi to come back. After seeing me back on the ground, he asked me what had happened, and I shook my head at him helplessly and said that it seems that this hexagram is not very accurate, and there is no one in the tunnel at all. Qin Bukong also frowned and said nothing, and soon he came to me and smelled it, and then said what kind of smell was this, so I told him that the hole in the ground that was dug by pine nuts earlier was actually connected to an abandoned sewer, but I didn't leave from there, so I didn't know the location of the sewer.

So Qin Bukong asked me to rest quickly, and I will find a way to find it after I get up early tomorrow. After I returned again in vain, my mood was really a little devastated, I didn't expect that we had no hope of breaking through, and now I even lost a companion. The most annoying thing is that we don't know where to look for it if we lose it.

Falling asleep with such an emotion in a belly is naturally not a good night's sleep. The next morning, before the sky was fully bright, I was woken up by Qin Bukong. He told me to get up quickly, wash up, pack up and follow him, I slept in a daze, so I asked him where he was going, and he said to look for pine nuts.

Frankly, I didn't have much hope at the time, but I quickly sat up from bed. After washing up so-so, he was dragged out of the door by Qin Bukong without even eating breakfast. I saw that the direction of this walk was towards the dock, so I couldn't help but ask Qin Bukongdao, are we going to take a boat? Qin Bukong said yes, let's cross the river. I said, aren't you looking for pine nuts? How do you know that he must be across the river? Qin Bukong said, do you remember the hexagram you got up last night? I said that I remember, Kun Ergong belongs to the earth, southwest. Qin Bukong said, isn't that right? That's to go to the southwest.

I was still a little puzzled, so I was a little stunned but didn't speak. Qin Bukong probably sensed my doubts, so he said to me, the Qingchuan Pavilion, Yuwang Palace, and Tiemen Pass that Songzi said before, from the azimuth, are in the southwest. Matsuko is not a local like us, and if he doesn't have any news of not going home for so long, he can only go to find clues by himself. I said strangely, but in addition to Feng Shui Kanyu is awesome, Songzi's other skills seem to be a little weak, what we have to deal with is "charm", he secretly ran away by himself, even if he found it, isn't that sending him to death?

Qin Bukong sighed and said, hey, we have not known him for the first time, just because he always feels that he can't help, and we like to joke with him, probably he thinks he is useless, so he wants to take this opportunity to prove himself, if it were me, I would do it. I was stunned, I didn't even think of this in the slightest. Qin Bukong continued, maybe he hopes to find key clues for us with his own strength, so that we will also be sure of his role in this team.

I said that we have never denied him, and the exact location of the first level is not what he found. If the two of us look for it, I'm afraid it will be the right year and month. Qin Bukong said, Songzi, this kid, is smart and clever, although his craftsmanship is almost good, but his heart is not bad. It's just a bit of a bull's horn, and she likes to fight for right or wrong in everything, like a woman's family.

As soon as Qin Bukong said this, I realized that it seemed to be really the case. Maybe it's because Qin Bukong and I have always been in the style of big men, and I haven't taken some trivial things to heart, Songzi is really much more careful than us in some aspects, and his personality is not so masculine. I like to scream when I encounter something...

Thinking of this, I don't know why, my back suddenly went numb.
