"Steward Liu, there is already a mountain road ahead, I'm afraid I can't ride a horse," Scar Li stopped in front of him and shouted back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Steward Liu also stopped his horse, turned his head to the fortune teller, and said, "Sir, how far is it?
Hou Xiaofeng and Xiaodou Sprouts don't know how to ride a horse, the two of them rode the same horse with the fortune teller, and they hugged the fortune teller tightly all the way, for fear of falling off, at this moment the horse finally stopped, and the two quickly jumped off the horse.
The fortune teller watched the two children dismount before jumping off the horse and replied, "It's still far away, and then we can only walk over."
Steward Liu waved his hand and said, "Then Mr. Lao will lead the way", and then ordered: "Scar Li, arrange a few brothers to watch the horses here, and the rest of the people will follow us." ”
The group gave up their horses and followed the fortune teller into the mountains, and at first the road was fairly easy to walk, but when they turned into a col, the peaks of the mountains obscured the moon, and the sights of them were dark, and the place was deserted, and the vegetation was taller and more chaotic than when they first entered.
Scar Li shouted at everyone: "Brothers, light the torches, be in good spirits, don't start the fire." ”
The people lit torches and went on, and the fortune teller led the way, and every once in a while he had to stop, take out his compass, and walk back and forth, left and right, reciting words, and not knowing what he was measuring.
The group did not know how many turns they made before they came to a canyon, which was very narrow, with a maximum of three people walking side by side, and on both sides of the canyon were craggy cliffs, and there was no grass.
"This is it, it's coming soon," said the fortune teller.
Everyone was really tired after walking this way, and when they heard this, they hurriedly took a breath and hurried forward, and after a while, they reached the end of the canyon, and a huge stone was erected in front of everyone, and the canyon at the end was wide and narrow, and the boulder seemed to fall from the top of the canyon, just stuck at the bottom.
"Bring the torch," the fortune teller said to the knife-faced Li, and after taking the torch, he walked towards the lower right corner of the boulder, and everyone saw that there was a small hole in the lower right corner of the boulder, which was not too high, and an adult would need to bend down slightly.
Scar Lee ordered two people to hold torches on the left and right of the cave, and the rest of the people waited for the others to enter the cave one by one.
After the hole was drilled into a small clearing, beyond which weeds grew a man high, and the cliffs on all sides stood high, and the moon hung right overhead, and the silver moonlight poured down on the clearing, as if a pool of water had been poured out of thin air, and if you looked down from a high place, it looked like a withered well.
The fortune teller pointed to a protruding stone cone behind the weeds and said: "After that stone cone, there is a hole, and what is in it, I don't know, what to do next, it's all up to Steward Liu." ”
Steward Liu didn't speak, but took out a thing like a "slingshot", but this thing has three forks, and there is a thin gold wire connected between each fork, Steward Liu's right hand shrank to the cuff, and took out a small sheet, he took the thin slice and gently scraped it on one of the gold threads, only to see that the gold wire vibrated slightly, but did not make any sound, Steward Liu stared at the gold thread for a while, and soon another gold thread also vibrate.
Steward Liu put away the "slingshot" and smiled slightly: "I see that the yin qi inside is very heavy, why don't I take these two little dolls to see it first, the boy has a heavy yang qi, and he can suppress the dirty thing." ”
The fortune teller wanted to find a place to rest for a while, but when he heard Steward Liu say that he wanted to take the two children in to have a look, he hurriedly said: "Steward Liu, I know a little bit about the tricks of exorcism and drawing talismans, why don't I accompany you?"
Steward Liu said politely: "Mr. is a master in the world, this little thing is naturally not a problem, but you are a distinguished guest of Qian Sanye, in case there are three long and two short, I can't explain when I go back, although I know a little about fur, but I can deal with it, don't worry, I won't come nonsense." ”
The fortune teller said thoughtfully, "Yes, yes," and then turned to himself and muttered, "Is that what the man of God meant? “
Steward Liu smiled and greeted Xiaodou Sprouts and Hou Xiaofeng: "Come on, little doll, come with me, if you can help a lot, Qian Sanye will definitely reward you heavily, I am saying two good words, maybe I can accept you as a nurse, and then you don't have to be a thief who is chased and beaten." ”
Little Bean Sprouts shrank behind Hou Xiaofeng and said tremblingly: "Big brother, I'm afraid." “
Although Hou Xiaofeng was also a little afraid of the "unclean" things that Steward Liu said in his mouth, he thought about his brother who was still sick, and only looked forward to asking for some money to treat them quickly, and at this time, was there any other choice?
Little Bean Sprouts nodded timidly, and the two of them followed Steward Liu towards the stone cone in front of the stone wall.
Because the weeds here grew taller than the two children, Steward Liu walked in front and played with the weeds, and the two children followed closely behind, and after walking for a while, they reached the stone cone, which was already far away from everyone's torches, and it was pitch black in front of them, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
Steward Liu took out a fire fold from his arms and played it, only then did he see that there was a stone door on the stone wall, the stone door was open, and he could see that there was a tunnel with obvious traces of artificial digging, and Steward Liu poked the fire fold into the hole and said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
"Come on, let's go, let's go..."Steward Liu's voice echoed in the cave, it seemed that there was more space inside, but after the echo, there was no response inside.
Steward Liu took out the "slingshot" from his arms and flicked it gently, one of the gold threads trembled again, and then all the gold threads trembled.
"Little doll, follow closely, go" Steward Liu put away the "slingshot" and picked up the fire fold and walked towards the hole.
After walking a short distance along the tunnel, the cave suddenly opened up, and it turned out to be a hollow cave, and under the firelight, the upside-down stone stalactites glowed brightly.
Steward Liu shouted in a low voice towards the cave: "Come out, it's me, don't worry, there is no one else." ”
After a sound of rustling in the darkness of the cave, a fire was lit up, and after the firelight, there were four people standing, one was quite well-proportioned, with a hairy beard, one was weak like a scholar, one was wearing a Taoist robe, and was skinny, and the other was very tall and stout, a circle larger than ordinary people, like a giant.
Steward Liu smiled: "Hehe, the four heroes of Xiangling have arrived, it's quite fast!"
The weak scholar-like man didn't answer Steward Liu's words, but laughed at himself: "What are the four heroes of Xiangling, they are all false names given by outsiders, and we are just earth rats robbing tombs." ”
Steward Liu took off his glasses and continued: "You don't have to be too modest, there are many talents in the tomb robbery industry, but only the four of you can deserve the title of the Four Masters of Xiangling." ”
The weak scholar-like man smiled and replied: "Those who often pass through the ghost gate, these false names will always be there, but the people with these titles may not always be there, maybe the next time you see the four heroes of Xiangling, it will not be the four of us." But then again, it is said that Brother Wu Ying's theft is superb, and there is nothing in the world that is stolen, but he didn't expect to lose his hand on the Fire Dragon Ball. ”
Steward Liu turned around into the darkness, took out a gray cloth from his arms and covered his body, only to see him writhe in the gray cloth quickly a few times, in the blink of an eye, after Steward Liu turned around again, he seemed to have changed a person, and the previous image of a bookish housekeeper was swept away, replaced by a handsome young man named Wu Ying.
Wu Ying was not angry, cleared his throat and said: "Faqiu Divine Officer smiled, I didn't miss it, but someone attacked me in advance. After the Fire Dragon Ball was stolen by others, I was going to get out of the Qian family, and then think about it in the long run, but unexpectedly, a fortune teller was killed halfway, and the whereabouts of the Water Dragon Ball were revealed. However, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid we wouldn't know the trace of the Water Dragon Ball, but now it's within reach. “
The man with the hairy beard smiled: "It's worthy of a generation of thieves, and if you haven't seen anything yet, are you sure you can steal it?"
Wu Ying also smiled at the man: "There is a touch of Captain Jin, is there anything that can't be taken away?"
The hairy beard who was called Captain Jin said proudly: "But the feng shui here is not simple, is there any difficult mechanism to deal with?"
The Taoist man snorted coldly: "There is not even a mechanism here, so we may be tricked." ”
The giant interjected, "You are grinding and chirping here, you are all walking together, and you will find out together along the steps of Fangcai." ”
Wu Ying smiled dumbly and said: "Xieling Lux is straightforward, although we are all thieves, but you rob the tombs of the dead, I only steal the dead, Yin and Yang are separated, but there is a big difference, now we serve the same master, each takes what he needs." ”
Wu Ying paused and continued: "The four of them should rarely interact with each other, and it is appropriate to act together today and help each other, but the ugly words are ahead, if it is a matter of fighting for life, there is no need to talk about any affection, self-protection first, I think you have no objection to this, right?"
The four people looked at each other, did not speak, and acquiesced, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
The man called Faqiu Shenguan looked at Hou Xiaofeng and Xiao Dou Sprouts and said, "I don't know what Brother Wu's purpose is when he brings the two dolls?"
Wu Ying said casually while sorting out his clothes: "Although I don't understand your ghost ways, this is an excellent ghost snack, isn't it?"
The four men burst into laughter.
Although Hou Xiaofeng didn't understand what the ghost dim sum in the mouth of this person who suddenly changed from Steward Liu to Wu Ying was, he also vaguely felt that it was definitely not a good thing, this was less than a day's work, so many things had happened at once, and he didn't know what to do for this little child.
Wu Ying turned to Hou Xiaofeng and Xiaodou Sprouts and said, "Little doll, are you scared, aren't you? We're just thieves like you, let's go steal something together, okay?"
Hou Xiaofeng knew that there was no choice for himself at the moment, and Zhengse said: "If it's possible, don't hurt my brother, okay?" The tone didn't look like a child at all.
The giant called Xieling Lux urged: "The night is long and dreamy, let's go, let's go, if you have anything to say, it's not too late to talk about it." ”
As he spoke, the Taoist priest of the mountain moved in front, and behind the palace of the Lishi of the Mountains, the group walked towards the darkness.
