Chapter 4 The strength of the illusory sunset detective, the magic knife village and the fortune
Sha Zhantang looked for a conversation and asked, "Brother Knife." How much do you know about your background?"
"I don't know at all, except that my father was killed when I was still a baby, and that the man who killed him was the one who told you. The owner told me that he could have killed the wicked man with one palm, but my father stopped him. Originally, my father was not dead, but this emergency passed. It can be said that my father died to save the man who killed him. ”
"Alas, the misfortune of life. The Knife Brothers' Day mourns and changes. ”
"I don't feel anything about these things. I was too young then. But I can't help but find out my background, and I can't at least let my father's death be unknown. ”
"That's the truth. Brother Knife, don't worry, Brother Tie and I will help you find out your background. ”
Phantom Xisha was probably really tired, and this sleep actually fell asleep from the back to the early morning of the next day, and when he woke up, it was only dawn. He felt the urge to urinate and rolled over to go to the bathroom, only to find that he was sleeping in the bed. He was already a little confused, and he was not familiar with the dark environment, so when he went out, he probably shook his eyes and hit the door frame, and he was angry that he raised his leg with a kick, but he didn't kick his toes well, and he squatted down and rubbed his feet with grinning.
I finally got out of the house, and then I reacted, and I didn't know where the toilet was. He looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a flickering fire in the distance, and he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was a patrol post in the stockade. I found a place to pee on the spot. Anyway, he's used to it. It's just that he has been strictly controlled by the King of Freedom recently, so he doesn't dare to be too casual in his behavior.
After he peed, his sleepiness disappeared and he was much more awake. I'm going to find a water source to wash my face. After fumbling for a long time, I found a water trough, and a horse next to it was leisurely chewing something. Illusory Xi expected that this trough was for drinking livestock, but it looked very clean, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
After washing his face, he was refreshed, and when he looked out, he found that a red light had been reflected on the wall, and he touched and tried to find a ladder but did not find it. But this didn't bother him, and he stepped on the wall and went to the roof like this.
The sun gradually rose, and the sky seemed to be covered with a red curtain.
Looking at the light, I couldn't help but think of my own life. Almost half of his short life was spent in misery.
He was raised by an old beggar since he was a child. The old beggar told him that he had been almost born when he picked him up, and that he had not even a cloth wrapped around him, and that he even had some blood on his body. Luckily, it was summer.
The birthmark on his forehead may have been the result of his abandonment. But the old beggar never disliked him.
When he was five years old, the old beggar fell seriously ill and died. From then on, he begged alone. He did travel a lot over the years, from the north to the south.
He never resented.
The old beggar told him that all the sufferings that people have suffered in this life are to atone for the sins of the previous life, and the old beggar probably did too much of the sins in the previous life, so he lived to be more than sixty years old, and he suffered at least fifty years in these sixty-something years.
The old beggar smiled and said the last thing he said: My sins have finally been redeemed.
He thought that he was only ten years old, and that it should not be a sin until he was five, and that the old beggar treated him like his own grandson. In fact, he suffered only five years. And now he has finally ushered in the dawn. It seems that the sins created by oneself in the previous life are not heavy.
He looked at the sun that was gradually blinding, the night was over, the light had come, and like his future, he seemed to see a piece of light.
Life is like morning dew, and the way of heaven is long.
Phantom Xisha involuntarily chanted this line of poetry. King Xiaoyao taught him a lot of Tang poems and Song poems. But he only remembered this one sentence, and this sentence was also the longest poem chanted by the King of Care. However, the King of Xiaoyao did not teach this poem to Huanxisha, because this poem is neither a Tang poem nor a Song poem, but a poem written by Ruan Ji, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest during the Three Kingdoms period.
Phantom Sunset didn't understand the meaning of this poem, but he felt that this poem was catchy and most suitable for his spiritual world.
Sha Zhantang hurriedly ran out of the house with a white face, and grabbed a minion who happened to be passing by, "Have you seen the phantom sunset?"
The minion shook his head blankly. Soon Tie Zhongli also ran out, "Lord of the Sand Village, what's wrong!"
"The phantom little brother is gone. ”
Tie Zhongli was also anxious at the moment, "What, it's gone." What does it mean to be gone, although he is a child, he is not small, why is it gone? ”
"I don't know. Yesterday at dinner, he said that he would go to inspect the scene today. I tried to go to his room to see if he was awake, but the man was gone. I was most afraid that he would go alone. ”
"No, the place he didn't recognize. Could it be that he just went out for a stroll. ”
"He doesn't know anyone in this place, where can he go. ”
"No, I think he knows this place well. When he came, he led the way. ”
Tie Zhonglei said this, Sha Zhantang was not only not relieved, but became more anxious, and it was because of this that he was even more worried that Huan Xisha would go to investigate the scene alone.
At this time, the knife came out of the house, thinking that he had heard the movement, and he asked, "Lord of the Sand Village, Deputy Alliance Master of the Iron Alliance, what happened." ”
"The phantom little brother is gone. ”
Xiaodao was not in a hurry, and asked, "Maybe you should go to the toilet." The owner of the sand village is too sensitive. ”
Sha Zhantang sighed and said, "My nerves have been so tight for a while that I don't dare to let them go far in the mine." I'll go to the latrine and have a look. ”
"Lord Shazhai, I'm going with you, just as I'm going to pee. ”
When the knife arrived in the courtyard, he found that the shadow of the house was abnormal. He turned his head to see that the person sitting on the roof was not just a phantom sunset.
The knife pulled the Rasa Pavilion and pointed to the roof. Sha Zhantang was depressed at the moment, and shouted complainingly: "I said phantom little brother, why did you go to the roof." ”
"Oh, I'll watch the sunrise. ”
Sha Zhantang was speechless, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to beckon to Xiaodao and said, "Brother Xiaodao, aren't you going to pee, let's go together." ”
Tie Zhongli also shook his head and sighed, as if he was very helpless about the phantom sunset.
Phantom Xi tiptoed to the edge of the eaves, and poked his feet to find that he couldn't get down. He weakly said to Tie Zhongji: "That, Iron Alliance Master, can you bring me a ladder." ”
Tie Zhongli's eyes widened, and he asked puzzledly, "How did you get up?" ”
"I'm leaning against the wall. I can run when I come up, but I can't jump when I go down. ”
Tie Zhongli walked over helplessly, stretched out his hand and said, "Jump, I'll pick you up." ”
Huan Xi's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously: "Iron Alliance Lord, I'm dozens of pounds, can you catch it?" ”
"What about me, I can't catch a child like you anymore. ”
Phantom Xisha didn't dare to believe it, so he still asked more: "You really caught it?"
Tie Zhongli nodded affirmatively: "Catch it, jump!"
"Then I'll jump, you'll have to catch it. ”
"Jump. ”
As soon as Phantom Sunset closed his eyes, he jumped down. The next moment, he felt a pair of big hands catch him, he breathed a sigh of relief, and extended a thumbs up to Tie Zhongji, "Awesome!"
This is a hill with a radius of dozens of miles, the mountains are not high and the valleys are not deep, and there are maroon rocks and rock formations everywhere.
"These are iron ores, and they are high-quality hematite, but it is very difficult to mine and smelt such iron ore, so we prefer to choose limonite that is easy to use. However, this hematite is easy to produce refined iron. ”
Sha Zhantang explained casually.
The crowd climbed three hills and stopped in a valley, and an official in the crowd pointed to the valley and said, "This is the place where the crime occurred!"
This arrester is called Fang Lin, and he has some means to track and investigate the case. At the beginning, Sha Zhantang asked him to help find the slain prospectors.
Phantom Sunset glanced at it and said, "This shouldn't be the place where the crime happened, I guess it's just the place where the corpse was dumped." ”
Fang Lin asked puzzledly, "Why did this little brother say that?"
"Fang Zhutou, let me ask you first. Do you think the meteorite was transferred or if there was no meteorite at all? ”
"I don't think there's such a meteorite at all. If you say that there is a large meteorite, it will be very mobile when it lands, and there are no craters nearby. So I'm guessing that the meteorite didn't exist at all, or that they were killed here on the way to the Meteorite Lands. ”
"If that's the case, then I'll take it back first. But I was sure that the meteorite must have existed. If it was just a non-existent thing, it would not have killed so many people, and the messenger would have been killed as well. ”
"I suspect it may have been the enemy of the Divine Sword Village. ”
"Lord of Shazhai, since the establishment of your Divine Sword Village, do you have such a potential enemy?"
"Absolutely not. Whether we are customers or peers, we are all based on harmony. ”
"Earlier, you said that your Divine Sword Village often receives news of this kind of meteorite?"
"Not bad. But most of them are fake, just some iron bumps, not even iron bumps. ”
"But you still don't refuse, and those who have reported would rather be deceived than miss. ”
"It's not like being cheated or anything. The main thing is that these retail miners are not professionals. So we tend to prefer to indulge. ”
"Has something like that happened before?"
"No, never, at most it was stumbling during prospecting. ”
"Now it seems that this accident is inseparable from the person who delivered the letter. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, he was at least an insider. But with his death, the only clue we can have is broken. Now we have another clue, and that is meteorite, which will undoubtedly be quite a clue if we can find it. Of course, if the meteorite actually exists. ”
