When Shen, the remnant sun slopes westward.

It's going to be dark.

Xu sent Ma Qiu and his entourage to the county yamen and came back, and Wang Qilin and the three went to the door.

He wrapped the devil's head knife in linen and tied it to his back, and looked at the water tank before going out.

Well, it's more like the guy named Yang Guo.

The General's Mansion is a little far away from Niu Er's house, it is independent of a wasteland outside the township, with a high-rise mansion compound, white walls and glazed tiles, and the sun shines on the folds and shines.

The vermilion gate is two feet high, but there are not ordinary stone lions squatting on the left and right of the door, but two strange beasts.

The one on the left is like a tanuki but has thick tiger claws, and the one on the right is even more strange, with two bull heads and eight legs.

Seeing Wang Qilin looking carefully, Xie Toad asked in surprise, "First time?"

Wang Qilin nodded: "Yes, this place is a bit evil, you see that the northwest is full of dirt mountains, and it is rumored that it is all ancient tombs, and there are many demons and evil spirits hidden in it." ”

Xie Toad looked into the northwest soil and mountain belt, and his eyes were deep.

The two chatted eagerly, but Xu Da didn't speak, just stared at the red lacquer red door.

Wang Qilin asked, "What do you see?"

Xu Da said in a deep voice: "This door, I'm afraid I can't kick it open!"

Wang Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "If you dare to kick open the gate of the General's Mansion, then the three of us can travel to the earth together." ”

"What?"

"Nothing, knock!"

The vermilion gate is inlaid with a bronze mirror that can be seen in the light, and the two door knockers are held by the copper tiger's mouth, which is majestic and solemn.

Of his six sisters, none of them have a bronze mirror, but they use copper to decorate the gate, Wang Qilin couldn't help but sigh.

The gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and dogs!

The door slowly opened, and an old man with white eyebrows, white hair and rough skin showed his face and asked, "Who is here?"

Wang Qilin took out the blood wood seal and said: "The lower officials listened to the Heavenly Prison Xiaoyin Wang Qilin, and came to meet General Huang. ”

The old man took the blood wood seal and said, "Everyone, please come in first, and I will go and tell my master." ”

Listen to the Tianjian Xiaoyin Jiupin Official, and the old general of the Huang family, Huang Huaji, retired from the position of Zhenguo General, Zhenguo General is from the second grade, and there are more than nine officials who wipe his military boots and serve a urinal under the account.

So whether the old general will see him or not, Wang Qilin has no idea in his heart.

Fortunately, the white-haired and white-bearded old man went back and forth to greet him: "Lord Wang, my lord is invited." ”

Xu Da was about to follow, but Xie Toad stopped him with a smile and said, "Where are you going?"

"What about me, uncle?"

"Stay warm!"

Xie Toad waved his sleeves, and the whole person flew up to the gatehouse.

Loose and scattered.

The largest mansion Wang Qilin had ever seen before was the Zhang Medical Hall in Fulong Township, but it was just two in and two out.

The General's Mansion is the real mansion of the wealthy family, and the entrance is the garden, surrounded by towering walls and continuous patches, and the buildings inside are staggered and rowed one after another.

When they passed through the two arches, they saw an open playground with stone locks, swords, spears, and halberds, and in the distance the neighing of horses, presumably stables.

Wang Qilin secretly sighed that he would have something to say in the future.

However, this general's mansion is big, but there are not many people, and it is very deserted.

So if he was asked to choose whether to live in the deserted General's Mansion or live in a thatched hut full of warmth at home, he would choose the General's Mansion.

You really can't choose a thatched house with a clear conscience.

The old general waited in the meeting room.

He was dressed simply, a set of sackcloth, and the white hair on his head was simply tied with a strip of cloth, this dress did not look like a general at all, but like an old carpenter in the countryside, and there was nothing unusual in appearance and temperament.

"This is Lord Wang? ”

After the old general spoke, he finally had the demeanor of a famous general, his voice was loud and firm, and his words were categorical and irrefutable.

The maid brought tea, and the old general took the topic and chatted with him, but the conversation was all about family affairs and listening to the heavenly supervisors.

The chat was not short, but it was not on topic, and when the old general changed his tone, he gave an order to expel the guest.

Wang Qilin was anxious.

That's not the right thing yet!

He didn't care about any courtesy, and said directly: "General Huang, the lower official got a piece of news, saying that your house is a little unstable and needs me to investigate." ”

Huang Huaji asked, "Where did the news come from?"

"Someone secretly wrote me a letter......"

"Where is the letter?"

Wang Qilin said: "This is strange, after the lower official read the letter, it burned by itself. It was this that made the lower officials suspicious, and after a few hesitations, they decided to come to the door to take the liberty of visiting. ”

There was no smell of lying in his sweat, and no one guessed that he was talking nonsense.

Moreover, the old general dominated the topic just now, and he had already taken out his family foundation, knowing that this was a native chicken in front of him who had just joined the prison for less than a month.

A little native chicken who has never been out of the countryside before joining the Heavenly Prison has what kind of heart he has in front of a second-class official? What kind of lie do you dare to say?

It's a pity that he didn't know that Wang Qilin had been on the earth, and lies could be seen everywhere on the earth, Wang Qilin had seen a girl lying on the bed panting and saying that she was running, or running in slippers.

Huang Huaji frowned and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Huang Mou's life is bright and upright, and he doesn't disdain lies, so I'm telling you, it's true." But you can't control it, you have to rely on the old man to solve it himself. ”

"The general underestimates people......"

"Sending off!"

The old general was a bright man, and before leaving, he gave him a gift, a long-handled Miao knife used by the frontier soldiers.

"I see that Lord Wang didn't bring a weapon, so I will give you a self-defense, you have to be careful when listening to the heavenly prison, and you can't leave the sword!"

Wang Qilin stretched out his hand and touched his back and said, "I have ......"

One touch and one hand empty.

The Devil's Head Knife is gone.

I don't know when it was sucked into the furnace again.

He thanked Huang Huaji and put the long knife on his back, and went out disappointed.

Seeing him appear, Xu Da asked, "How is it?"

Wang Qilin shook his head.

Xu Da was disappointed: "Miss Huang's beauty is also a rumor?"

"It's rumored that you're big, I mean there's no hope for this matter, the old general said that the affairs of the house are family affairs, and outsiders can't interfere. ”

After Wang Qilin finished speaking, he looked at the gatehouse: "Dao Chief, come down, be careful of being shot as a hedgehog by someone as an assassin." ”

Xie Toad stood on the gatehouse and looked into the distance, and he looked at it for a while before he fell: "My lord, what do you guess I saw up there?"

Xu Da asked expectantly, "Two big meat worms fighting?"

Xie Toad sneered: "Follow me." ”

Bypassing the courtyard wall of the General's Palace, a countryside appeared in front of them.

In early spring, the vegetation is not yet green, and the wilderness is largely yellow. When the cold wind blows, the grass and trees are sad, and its sound is sorrowful.

Jixiang County is a mountainous area, there are many small hills in the torii township and Fulong township, the northwest of the general's mansion is such a large hill, at this time in the depths of the hill shuttle a funeral team.

This funeral team is a little weird, there is no suona music, no paper money to open the way, no one is crying, only one person is holding a spirit flag, followed by eight people carrying a large red lacquer coffin.

What's even more strange is that the eight people carrying the coffin are not wearing filial piety clothes and filial piety cloth, but wearing black clothes, and they are dressed like Wang Qilin and others from a distance.

Xu Da asked, "Our colleagues?"

Xie Toad shook his head: "No, this is the black dragon carrying the coffin." ”

"What do you mean?"

"As soon as the black dragon arrives, life and death are unpredictable. They are the Black Yao people, this is carrying the coffin to the sky, the Black Yao tribe you may not know, it is a nation in the Western Regions, they have a custom, that is, after death, people have to carry the coffin to wander in many places and wander for many days. ”

Xu Da suddenly said: "No wonder the tribes of the Western Regions are called tomb peoples, it turns out that there is this custom." ”

"The Hei Yao people are not nomads," Xie Toad looked at the figure of the Hei Yao tribe's funeral team, and his eyes narrowed: "Interesting, there are Hei Yao people who have passed away, and the matter of the General's Mansion is afraid that it is a big deal." ”
