When Ah Xiu and Bewen arrived at Xiaoyang Street, there were still a lot of people gathered in front of the Du family's old mansion, several officials were sealing the gate of the old mansion, and the rest of the people were watching and talking about it.

The Du family's old house at night was indeed a little gloomy, but now that the sun was shining brightly, and people's courage was growing, Ah Xiu asked an old man who was stopping to watch: "Old man, let me ask, what's going on here?"

The old man glanced at Ah Xiu and said, "Young people now, they are just good at inquiring. Let me tell you, today Master Du came with the county officials, saying that their old housekeeper died of a violent illness, and asked the officials to help pull them outside the town for burial. ”

Ah Xiu glanced at the seal on the gate and asked, "Then why is this gate still sealed?"

The old man replied: "This is what Master Du requested, he said that this place is estimated to be uninhabited in the future, and now that so many things have happened, he also feels very uneasy, so he decided to let the government seal the house." ”

Ah Xiu suddenly realized, and said in his heart: It seems that this Du member is quite upright when he arrives, but there is something strange about it. Thinking of this, he asked again: "Old man, that Master Du is also here, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"Of course I saw it, I know the old man, although it has been so many years, but he is not old, he is still rich, and he is well maintained. The old man said with a smile.

At this time, Don't listen to the side and talk: "Amitabha, this old donor, does Du Yuanwai have anything to say about what happened in the old mansion before?"

"This master is polite", the old man was very polite when he saw that Buwen was a monk, and then said: "Du Yuanwai is also interesting enough, the people who had an accident here before, all those who can still be found, have been given a large sum of money as compensation, and even the Tuesday when he looked at the house also gave a lot of settling-in expenses, enough for his wife and children to live a lifetime on Tuesday." ”

Don't hear the words and put your palms together, and read, "Amitabha, good, good." Old Man Du can make compensation, and it can be regarded as some merit for this old mansion. ”

Ah Xiu asked again, "Old man, where is the old butler's coffin now?"

The old man glanced at Ah Xiu again, and didn't know why this young man had so many questions, but he still said, "This morning, the coffin has been carried to the west of the town. ”

Ah Xiu and Bewen glanced at each other, and after thanking the old man, they walked towards the west of the town together.

On the way, Ah Xiu said to Bewen: "Master, this Du Yuan is a little suspicious, he didn't come out after so many people died before, but he came out when we were going to investigate this matter, and the old housekeeper died really strangely, could it be...... He was silenced. ”

Bewen nodded and agreed with Ah Xiu's statement: "Yes, the poor monk thinks the same way. Then there is a possibility that when the two of us went to the old house the day before yesterday, we were discovered, and they were thieves and wanted to destroy all the evidence and erase this matter. ”

"Yes, I dug out people's hearts, and it is definitely not a good kind. ”

The two communicated, the feet did not stop, and they had arrived in the west of the town in a short time, at this time the coffin had been buried, and the people who did it were gone, leaving only a new tomb pestle there, and a stone tablet stood in front of the tomb, which was engraved with "The Tomb of Du Cheng, the Butler of Du Mansion", the handwriting was clear, and it was new at a glance.

"They're really fast. Ah Xiu sighed, said his eyes looked at the woods not far away, but inadvertently saw a figure wandering in the forest, as if he was also watching the two of them, he was shocked in his heart, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, remained silent, and whispered to Bewen: "Master, there are people in the forest over there, it seems that they are spying on us, what should we do?"

Don't hear Wenyan and look over with his spare eyes, there are indeed people, but he can't see the appearance clearly, he also lowered his voice and said: "It seems that it is indeed coming for us, our previous guess may be right, this tomb is only afraid that there is a problem, okay, let's not worry about it today, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Ah Xiu and Don Wen pretended not to find anything, stood in front of the grave for a while and left, and when they were far away, a person slowly walked out of the woods, looking at the direction in which Ah Xiu and the two left, his eyes showed a fierce light, if it was in Lanjiang Town, someone must know this person, he was Du Yuanwai.

On the way back, Ah Xiu and Bewen discussed going to the old housekeeper's grave at night to have a look, and they must find out, but when they returned to the inn, Ah Xiu found a note on the table in his room, which was written in black and white: If you want the second daughter to not die, you will bring the treasure to the land temple in Zhennan tonight to exchange.

Looking at this note, Ah Xiu seemed to be a lot more relaxed, Jiang Huan and Meng Xiyao finally got it, and sure enough, as he said, that person couldn't find what he wanted, and he would definitely come to find him again.

Ah Xiu handed the note to Bewen, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that tonight's actions will change." ”

Don't Wen opened the note and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's a big deal to save people, I'll go with Lord Lin tonight." ”

The two discussed it first, and when the time came, they set off together, Ah Xiu rushed to the land temple in the south of the town alone, this land temple is really hard to find, I think it has been abandoned for a long time, Ah Xiu wasted a lot of effort to find this temple in a forest that is more dilapidated than the small temple where Bewen temporarily lived.

He first observed his surroundings, and then stepped into the temple of the land, and saw that the small temple was empty, and now that the hour had passed, he did not know where the messenger was, and at the same time a faint incense came into his nose.

Just when Ah Xiu was a little impatient, a voice sounded outside the door: "You are indeed here." ”

Ah Xiu turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a man in a black robe and a hat on his head standing at the door, unable to see his face clearly, but Ah Xiu could feel that this person was very dangerous.

"Did you bring anything?" the man's voice was unpredictable, and he was not a bright and upright person when he heard it.

"What is it?" Ashu pretended not to know.

"Don't pretend to be confused, the two girls who were with you said that the star map fragment is on your body. The man said.

Sure enough, it was for the fragments of the star map, Ah Xiu said secretly, and he snorted coldly: "Where are those two girls now?"

Seeing that Ah Xiu didn't answer his question about the star map fragments, the man was a little annoyed, and shouted, "What I'm asking about now is the star map fragments, as long as you hand over the fragments, I will naturally return them to you." ”

"No, how do I know if they are alive or dead, I can't see their people, don't even think about what you want. Ah Xiu said very strongly.

When the man heard Ah Xiu say this, he was a little annoyed and angry: "You don't have a choice. ”

Ah Xiu smiled and said very easily: "Okay, let's just consume it like this, when do you bring people, we'll talk about it." He turned away from the man in black.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Ah Xiu speak, the man in black was helpless, put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and after a while, four more people in black appeared at the door, also wearing robes and hats, two of them were holding a woman in their hands, Ah Xiu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Jiang Huan and Meng Xiyao, but seeing that the two were only wearing close-fitting clothes, and there were blood stains on them, it seemed that they had suffered a lot.

At this time, both of them were stuffed with cloths in their mouths, and they couldn't speak, but when they saw Ah Xiu in front of them, their eyes widened and their bodies kept struggling.
