Chapter 228: A Night Walker

Just when the little Taoist priest's heart was turbulent and full of thoughts, the man with the broken arm had already slid back to the door of the small house in the east. I saw him gently push the door, still without saying a word, and walked in first.

When everyone went in, they saw that the eight immortals in the house had already made tea in an old-fashioned teapot, and the small spout of the teapot was wafting out with a faint aroma, and there were seven or eight clean tea bowls around.

Even, in a tray next to it, there are some wild fruits that ordinary people can't name, which should be some wild fruits produced on this mountain. It seems that although this man with a broken arm is withdrawn and eccentric, he knows it in his heart and is ready to entertain everyone.

Just when everyone was just sitting down, the man with the broken arm said coldly to Lin Hua: "Say, Huazi, what is the situation here? Two days ago, your master of the squid just called me personally, and today you contacted me in advance, saying that I must wait for you at home." Since I'm here, let's talk about it, I'm going to patrol the mountains at the party. ”

Lin Hua said with a smile: "Third uncle, this is the case, these friends are all researchers sent by the province, and they are here to explore our ghost cave this time." Of course, these people are only a general understanding first, and it is estimated that a few others will not be able to come together with the equipment until tomorrow. And I am the guide specially sent from above, and at the same time, my master also asked me to bring a message to you, please be sure to do a good job of everyone's cooperation. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, stood up and pointed at the lone wolf and said: "By the way, third uncle, this senior is my master's fellow disciple, and he happens to be the leader of this exploration operation. ”

The man with the broken arm rolled his eyes, and still said coldly: "It's good to say, since this guy is the same junior disciple of the 'Daibei God of War', he must also be a capable person." In addition, I look at a few other friends, if I don't look away, I'm afraid they are not mediocre, which I am a little relieved. Maybe you may be able to crack the secret of this ghost cave, and it can be regarded as a problem for me, a lonely old man. Whatever you need me to do, you can say anything but to take you into the cave yourself. Besides, I'm such a wasted person, even if I want to show you the way, I don't have the ability. ”

Lone wolf said: "Brother, you are too polite, we just want to learn more information about this ghost cave from you, especially some past events, we definitely don't dare to expect you to take us into the cave in person." ”

Lin Hua said: "That's it, Uncle San, you are old and well-informed, and you must know some old things that we don't know, so please tell us about it." Big deal, next time I come, I will bring a few bottles of good wine to your old man, and pay good respects to your old man. ”

Broken Arm said: "I agreed to help you for the sake of your dead ghost master's face." As for you bastard, forget it, maybe you're like your money-obsessed bastard, thinking about what to do with my old house all day long. Hmph, it's better to save your wine, I will throw that house to the country for nothing, and I will never give it to you masters. ”

When everyone heard this, and then looked at Lin Hua's innocent face, they were all secretly happy. This eccentric old man is still a stubborn old man, and it seems that he and his brother are also very unhappy.

Of course, this is just a private matter of other people's families, don't

No one can participate, so they have to listen to it. Even Lin Hua hid awkwardly, not daring to speak out again.

The lone wolf coughed lightly, and said to the man with the broken arm with a smile: "Brother, please tell us about the general situation of this ghost cave first, hehehe." ”

Broken arm: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at talking, so I said it casually when I thought of something, but I made you outsiders laugh." So, because I'm a rough guy and I don't know anything else, I'm going to tell you a true story that I personally experienced, and I don't know if it's useful to you. But what I can say is that this story that once happened in real time, there are really no outsiders who really know it. It can even be said that today, except for me, a lonely old man, almost no one really knows about this past. ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand to signal everyone to drink tea, and then he also took a cup of tea and drank it all, and then continued: "I remember that it seemed to be more than thirty years ago, and I seemed to have just returned home from the army. At that time, it was mainly due to my disability, and my personality was not very good, not very gregarious and difficult to get along with, so there was a period of time when I was very depressed, and I often ran alone to this Lianyun Mountain at night. or practice kung fu indiscriminately, or howl a few times at will, in order to vent and release yourself. However, at one o'clock in the morning on this night, as soon as I reached the top of the mountain from the northwest corner, I seemed to feel a white shadow floating on the top of the mountain near the Ghost God Cliff. I remember that it was around the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was very large, and the visibility on the mountain was relatively good. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, as if hesitating, and continued: "I think you may all already know, I used to practice a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu with others in the early years, and I have been on the battlefield again. At that time, my first feeling was that this white shadow should be a person, and it was very likely that he was not a good person. Because the local law and order situation at that time was not very good, some cases of a relatively bad nature often occurred, and it was very likely that some criminals were hiding on this mountain. Don't look at me as a person with a strange temperament and acting in an extreme way, but I hate those bastards who do evil, so I chased him down without even thinking about it, and I wanted to see if he could escape from under my nose. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "Then what about later, you must have been easily captured, who is this guy?"

The man with the broken arm glanced at Xiao Qingfeng twice, and continued to say expressionlessly: "After more than half an hour of sneaking pursuit, I finally saw the true face of this guy, and I saw that he was also a tall and thin man, and he was really similar to my outfit today. This is a pale, middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, and this man is also extremely agile and very good, but it can be seen that he does not look like a native of us. In this way, I became even more suspicious that he was not a good person, so I kept secretly behind him, wanting to see if he had any accomplices. And I wanted to really figure out what he was here in the middle of the night for, whether he was hiding in the middle of the night, or if he had some other purpose. ”

Xiao Qingfeng said: "What about later?"

"However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped at the top of this ghost cliff, and a person squatted there as if he was thinking about something, and this squat turned out to be more than half of it

Hour. In the meantime, not only did no one come to join him, but I had carefully looked at the whole hilltop, and found no one else, and it seemed that he was as alone as I was. But just as I was still patiently lurking and squatting on the sidelines, this guy made a move that I didn't expect. ”

Lin Hua said: "What's the matter, it can't be that this guy can't think about it and jumps directly from the top of the Ghost God Cliff, right?"

As soon as the man with the broken arm heard Lin Hua's interruption, he immediately glared at him, and said coldly: "Why, was your Lao Tzu also on the side at the time, or you should say it, I'm too lazy to speak, hum!"

The lone wolf looked at it and thought to himself: "Come on, this guy is really a bad talker, it seems that you really pay more attention when talking to him later." Fortunately, I didn't bring the dolls with a few of them, otherwise he would have been scared a long time ago. ”

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and poured a bowl of tea with a broken arm, and said, "Come on, come on, old brother, drink saliva first and rest a little, don't be like a young man, hehehe." ”

The man with the broken arm took a shallow sip of tea, and then said: "I really let this little bastard get it, that guy actually jumped directly from the top of the Ghost God Cliff, and it really scared me a lot at that time." At the time, I thought that this guy couldn't think about something, and ran here in the middle of the night to seek death, thinking that this fucking suicide was a bit interesting, and he actually chose such a time and such a place. After he jumped, I quickly flew to the spot where he jumped off the cliff. ”

The lone wolf said: "It shouldn't be self-defeating." ”

Broken Arm said: "When I got closer, I found that I accidentally found a rattan the thickness of a thumb at the place where he fell off the cliff. The upper end of the rattan was firmly tied to the root of a large tree next to it, and I gently flicked it with my hand, but it didn't move, and it looked like there must be some weight pulling underneath. Could it be that the white shadow man just now didn't jump down out of thin air, but flew down with this rattan. But what was he doing this for, he didn't really believe in the old local legend, and thought about going down to find some kind of empty treasure. ”

The lone wolf said: "Brother, what kind of legend is that, and why is there any treasure involved?"

Broken Arm said: "About the ballad of Lianyun Mountain, you must have heard it a long time ago, right?"

Lone Wolf said: "Yes, this ballad seems to be just a simple description of the general situation of Lianyun Mountain, and it doesn't seem to see anything strange." Isn't it the perennial clouds and mist that everyone knows, the ghost god cave hidden on the ghost cliff, the wisteria valley, and the colorful butterflies unique here? Except for the colorful butterflies, which are more magical, the others are also very normal to understand, and there is no mention of any treasures. Could it be that the ghost cave is where the treasure is located. ”

Broken Arm said: "Yes, in the legend that has been passed down from generation to generation, it means that there is a huge treasure hidden in this unpredictable ghost cave. What happened here seven years ago, you must already know that they are here for the treasure. ”

Lone Wolf said: "It is said that this kind of legend with mysterious treasure information should have always been a topic of conversation, and it is only right that it has been passed on." Why, then, is it that almost no one in your area knows? If others don't talk about it, I'm afraid even this nephew of yours hasn't heard anyone talk about it before. ”
