The night was getting deeper, and the Japanese soldiers did not leave the silk village.

Boss Ming knew very well that this Japanese soldier Shaozuo came to the door in the middle of the night, and he must have a plan.

But what he asked for, he couldn't do it, because the lion dance team was the top priority, and so many merchants and nobles in the temple fair looked at them.

It is also impossible for Ming Laosan to completely listen to the manipulation of the Japanese, and if he completely resigns himself to it, it will make him feel like a thief and a traitor. After all, he is still a member of the Republic of China, and sometimes he has to help the Han people, although he relies on the care of the Japanese army, but occasionally, he cannot completely obey the will of the Japanese army.

He just wants to be sleek. So he thought about how to prevaricate his speech, and slowly drank this light tea, which was silent in this night.

......

A pagoda monastery nearby. The façade is not luxurious or large. Inside there is only a stone tower and a few bungalow rooms.

The old monk banged the night bell, and then planned to take a rest, but he heard someone coming in a panic to report, he followed the past, and when the door opened, it turned out to be someone from the Qi family.

There was a small flag on the carriage of the Qi family, although the flag was not big, but the words were very dazzling, and he hurriedly invited them to enter the door.

"Master, please take a look at our eldest wife, she has always been delirious in recent days, and it is this piece of jade that is causing the trouble. ”

The housekeeper of the Qi family supported the eldest lady, she gently held her head, and the old monk looked briefly and immediately pointed to the tower, so they hurried into the first floor of the tower.

"I'll check the pulse of the eldest lady first, although this tower is not big, but it is enough to rest. ”

The old monk who was called the master was named Shi Xian, and he was a master of Shi Xian. He hurriedly checked the pulse of the eldest lady, and he saw that the eldest lady seemed to be thoughtful, and her brows were tightly locked, so he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry too much." I heard that your family has just had a happy event, and a little boy has been added, why are you so anxious, big lady? What exactly does this piece of jade bring you? You might as well talk about it, this is simply a knot in your heart. ”

The housekeeper sighed and said: "It's good to add a little boy, but now that the eldest lady is in such a situation, she can't take the child at all, and they are all nurses who help raise them." But they are clumsy, and the children are not good at serving, this is one thing, and the second is that you also know the demons locked up in this pagoda, and you also know that it will have some impact. ”

Master Shi smiled: "Butler, if you say so, I don't understand, the demons in my pagoda are only interested in the eighteen pictures." The clues of the eighteen maps in your Qijia Mansion are in the corners and corners, I reminded you, didn't you have to seal them a long time ago, how could it still have an impact? Could it be that you didn't seal them, or went to find this map again? It's not something for you and me, why do you want to force it?"

The eldest lady had a headache at the moment, and she couldn't take care of it too much, and the treatment was important, so she instructed the housekeeper: "Tell the truth, tell the master the truth! ”

The housekeeper was reluctant, but he listened to the eldest lady. So he hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to the master, asking him to take a good look at it and see the mystery in it: "Master, you can help take a look, it's not a secret, this is Taijun's thing." I've checked, and it should be from the Japanese occult master Master Yamai. ”

The master took it in his hand and carefully looked at this jade pendant, and then looked at it next to the lamppost: "This thing is too mysterious, it is not for you and me to open it, only need someone who is destined." ”

The eldest lady said angrily: "What does the master mean, if you can't find someone who is destined, then you won't be able to open this piece of jade in this life? What is the poisonous spell in this? You have such an unfathomable spell, can't you count it?"

The master saw the eldest lady's anxious look, and he guessed that this thing might be very important to the eldest lady, so he said with a trace of anger unhurriedly: "Master Shanjing's clues in the jade pendant are all clues of the eighteen pictures, and this jade pendant is no exception, you still have an attempt, but I really can't open it." ”

"You've guessed it, I just want to know what's inside? Besides, I don't want this little jade pendant to interfere with my life, it has been disturbing me lately and I can't sleep for half the night. If it's like this every day, then these things really don't matter to me. The eldest lady sighed.

"But you still want these things, as if they were important to you, even more so than your son. ”

The master's words struck the eldest lady's nerves, and she replied in a panic: "How is it possible? Master, you are making fun of me, right?"

"Butler, you take the eldest lady to the third floor to climb the stairs to rest, this is a key, there is a small room next to it, you can wait for her in the small room. ”

The master dropped this sentence and quietly left the tower, gently closing the door of the tower.

"This master is not the answer, lukewarm attitude, I don't know what to do, let's go upstairs. The eldest lady gave a cold look.

......

The old house of the Lu family, the side yard.

Lan Sheng lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, but he didn't want to affect Jiang Cheng. So she got up quietly, crept to the window, and thought, "The night is still beautiful tonight, but I think of my master." I don't know what happened to his old man, he treated me like his own father, and I don't know how to repay it in the future. ”

Suddenly, she heard the sound of shredding at the door, as if she had touched a flower pot, she hurriedly walked to the door, and this time she caught it squarely: "Who are you, why have you eavesdropped so many times?!"

"Spare me, this is just what the eldest lady meant, I want to know your details. The man was masked, but he didn't want the Blue Maiden to reveal his face.

Jiang Cheng heard the movement, hurriedly got up, walked over quickly, and did not hesitate like Miss Lan, he quickly tore off the man's face towel: "You are not the person just now, who are you?!"

"Why are there two of them?" asked the blue girl in surprise.

Young Master Jiang Cheng pulled the man's arm hard, there was something hidden in his cuffs, and Jiang Cheng pulled it out of his sleeve fiercely: "Kill the order, you are here to murder Lan Sheng tonight?"

Lan Sheng was puzzled: "Young master, don't make trouble! How can this start, I haven't met this person yet, and I have no grudges." ”

"You fool!" Young Master Jiang Cheng said angrily: "You don't know people, but people already know you, look at the token on this, it's from the Ming Mansion." Tonight is dedicated to assassinating you. ”

A small wooden sign that was not too big, but weighed a little, was handed to Lan Sheng's hand, with her name written on it and kill written on the back.

"But young master, I have no grievances with Boss Ming, why did he send someone to kill me?"

Jiang Cheng picked up the man by the collar: "Let him say it himself." ”
