Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tomb of the Water Spring
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them gasped, Jin Santu was the boss, and he was stunned, but even Ning Yuan, who looked very secure, couldn't hold his breath and said: "Little (Xiao) Master, don't scare me, my second brother has already died!"
Jin Santu also smiled and said: "Yes, brother, don't make such jokes, Xiao Zhizi ...... three months ago"
"I didn't scare you. Bai Maxiao said calmly and very seriously: "Otherwise, how would I know what he looks like." I thought it was strange just now, as soon as you greeted them, they immediately sat down, only the person behind you didn't come, and his face was expressionless, I guessed that he might be a ghost. ”
The three of them trembled and turned their heads, but except for the diners at the back table, no one was standing behind, if it was really a ghost......
Bai Maxiao hurriedly stopped the three people who were about to get up and run away, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, he just died, and the ghost at this time should not have any memory, but instinctively do what he used to do in life." I suppose he followed you all along, right?"
Jin Santu knew that Bai Maxiao was not an ordinary person, and at this time he swore an oath, so he had to believe it, "Brother, can you really see ghosts?"
"Yes, I told you, I come from an organization that specializes in dealing with ghosts. ”
"But brother, didn't you say that your organization is against aliens?"
Bai Maxiao's face flushed, and after more than two months, he really didn't remember what he was talking nonsense at the time, so he quickly explained: "That...... Ghosts are also one of them, and our organization still has a lot of business expansion, hehe......"
Jin Santu was convinced, and nodded suddenly in understanding. If he believed, the other two followed.
Ning Zhi immediately asked, "Then my second brother, can he hear me?"
Bai Maxiao shook his head: "I haven't died, I don't know...... Shouldn't it work?" he remembered that when he heard Qiu Xue talk about it, he seemed to be unconscious in the year he had just died, but he would just linger in the place where he stayed before his death. However, if he does not immediately turn into a completely invisible geist, it means that he may have something unwilling to do during his lifetime. ”
"Unwilling?" the three of them fell into deep thought, all thinking about what was going on.
Suddenly, Jin Santu remembered something and asked, "Brother, when we met at Lukou Airport for the first time, did you see Xiao Zhizi?"
Bai Maxiao thought about it for a while, at that time, he was followed by more than a dozen people, he only knew Qianqian, and he didn't seem to have noticed whether there was such a person. But then when they got on the plane, there were only four people left, and there was no him.
"No, he didn't follow you then. ”
"That's ......" Jin Santu looked at Ning Yuan, "He should be following his younger brother, right?"
"I want to ......" Ning Yuan was silent for a while, "Second brother, he should want to see the eldest sister again." After all, their relationship has been very good since childhood, and when he died, he always talked to me about his eldest sister......"
Bai Maxiao nodded and said, "That's simple, he follows you, you go to see your sister, he should be reincarnated." ”
"But...... My eldest sister is in school, and their school never allows outsiders to enter, not even the students' families. We haven't seen her for over a year, and she won't even come back for the New Year. ”
Bai Maxiao thought to himself, what kind of school is this, it makes students isolated from the world, it's like going to prison!
However, Bai Maxiao didn't call them over to talk to them about this, although there were ghosts following them, but they didn't seem to have malicious intentions, and they didn't want to dwell on this issue at this time, so they got to the point, "Don't worry, it will be solved sooner or later." By the way, big brother, I heard you just mention a person named Kong Lao Liu, right?"
It seemed that as soon as he mentioned him, Jin Santu became angry, and drank another glass of wine, "My brother is not an outsider, and he is not a mortal, so I'll tell you about it, brother." In fact, our old Jin family is a family that relies on inverted buckets. ”
"Tomb robbery?" Bai Maxiao blurted out, this is indeed like someone that Kong Lao Liu will come into contact with. When he was in Xiaoling Mountain, this guy seemed to have a lot of research on cultural relics, and I had heard Ning Ning say that Kong Lao Liu deceived the boss Wang who led the way, and he looked like a tomb robber.
Jin Santu hurriedly waved his hand and stopped: "Don't be so loud! Now the investigation is strict, don't kill your brother and me!" Seeing Bai Ma Xiao nodding again and again, he continued: "Brother treats you as a brother before I told you, that Kong Lao Liu is a master of inverted fighting, and he looks as big as my father, but I didn't expect that whether it is the skill of inverted fighting or the degree of research on those spiritual weapons, it is much higher than my father." Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken him to fight, and now that I think about it, it's really eight lifetimes of mold. ”
It seems that they and Kong Lao Liu also had an accident when they went to the tomb. Bai Maxiao became even more suspicious, "I guess, did your deceased companion also die when he fought with Kong Lao Liu?"
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry. Why? He's cheated on you?"
Bai Maxiao was convinced that all this had something to do with that Kong Lao Liu. First of all, although the members of that mysterious organization may also be among the three people in their seventh group, but there will never be all three, especially Tranquility, judging from the degree of shock she was at Luo Yong's death, and the expression on her face when she saw Luo Yong's letter to her, she should not be a member of that organization, when Luo Yong fell behind in order to save him, the three of them did return to the ground, and found the corpse of the corpse chaser at the intersection, so it seems that the only person who could kill Luo Yong was that Kong Lao Liu.
"Yes, I have a colleague who may have died at his hands. Bai Ma Xiao said in a deep voice.
Jin Santu and Ning Yuan glanced at each other, Jin Santu frowned and said, "We also suspect that Xiao Zhizi's death is related to Kong Lao Liu. About half a year ago, I found a note in my father's notebook with the words 'Xiaoqi Shuiquan Tomb', which I suspected was a treasure map. ”
"Treasure map?" Bai Ma Xiao said strangely, "Just five words, what kind of treasure map?"
"Hahaha, brother, think about it, when it comes to Xiaoqi, what do you think of?"
Speaking of this word, Bai Maxiao's first reaction was his hometown, Xingang's Xiaoqi Mountain.
Xingang is a city with little history, originally a coastal town in southern Guangdong Province, and later built Fuhai City as part of China's future city plan to build artificial land in the southern sea of the place. In the beginning, in order to facilitate the supply transportation of Fuhai City, and because it was also the first time to build a maritime city, it was necessary to have a nearest coastal city connected to Fuhai City by a sea-crossing bridge, so the town was developed as part of the plan and named Xingang. Later, Fuhai City in the world's attention and support, developed into a super-modern city, Xingang as the hub of Fuhai and the mainland, and then developed into today's China's first-tier cities, and Xingang's tourism industry also grows, then people found that a mountain in the west of Xingang, from the satellite looks like a lying horse boots, so named Xiaoqi Mountain. In fact, there is a reason why that mountain was not in the limelight in the first place, because it really has no characteristics, and there is no special feature to promote other than that it looks like riding boots, so as a local, Hakumashi is not interested in it at all.
"You're talking about riding on the mountain, so does the water spring refer to a certain part of the riding boots?"
"It's worthy of being a brother, it's right to say it. At that time, I suspected that those five words referred to an ancient tomb at the Xiaoqi Mountain Spring. This fountain is the name of an acupuncture point, located just at the ankle. My dad has a high vision, and it must be a big bucket to get him to put in his notes. How could our third master Jin let go of this big piece of meat. Speaking of this, Jin Santu showed a proud expression.
Bai Ma Xiao thought to himself, no wonder your name is Jin Santu, when you said that the five elements of the earth born of gold, can prosper. I think it means that you made your fortune from what you have in the soil.
"So you went there three months ago to rob the grave?"
"Who is our third master, we need to prepare for three months? We will set off in the second month!"
"Half a year ago...... 2nd Month...... So you set out five months ago, but your deceased companion died three months ago. Have you been looking for a grave for the past two months?"
"Brother, you also underestimate my Jin Laosan, it takes so long to find a tomb, the location of the water spring is very easy to find, we found the tomb in one afternoon, and dug a hole to enter." Speaking of the skill of the inverted fight, Jin Santu was extremely proud, as if he had won a big victory in the tomb.
"So, you've been there for two months?" Hakuma Xiao counted the time, no matter how you look at it, how can it take two months to rob a tomb, could it be that the tomb is really that big, and it will take two months to explore it again?
Jin Santu, who was still proud just now, heard his words, as if he had been poked in the sore spot, his face instantly became ugly, and he drank three more glasses before continuing: "My Jin Laosan has been fighting for more than 20 years, and it is the first time I have encountered such an evil thing, it is really evil." ”
As he spoke, he toasted three more glasses. Bai Maxiao was even more strange, poured him wine again and again, and accompanied him three glasses. He rubbed his eyes, and then said, "We are in the tomb, trapped for two months. ”
Bai Ma Xiao noticed that at this time, Ning Yuan was also drinking one cup after another, and even the stunned man who had been peeking at Bai Bird Ling began to have a bitter look on his face, and he took a big bite of lamb chops, it seems that the two months trapped in the ancient tomb are really extremely tragic memories for them.
But it's very strange, looking at the wealth of this gold and three soils, he must have been doing this business for many years, and listening to him, this is still an ancestral craft. How could such an outstanding worker from a professional tomb robber family be trapped in his own professional venue for so long? Familiarizing yourself with the structure of the tomb and remembering every path in the tomb should be a basic skill, isn't it?
Jin Santu saw Bai Maxiao's question, patted the table and said: "Brother, you definitely don't believe that I will capsize in the gutter, right?" But that tomb is so evil, the original clear way, when I went back, it was all wrong, not only all the furnishings were reversed, but even the route and the location of the tomb were reversed, and the whole tomb was searched all over and couldn't find the thief hole we entered, do you say this is an evil door!"
