Seven Evil Slips Chapter 21:

After so many years, thinking of the scene at that time, Ding Laojiu still shudders.

"I don't know what that is," he swallowed dryly, looking at the taut window uncomfortably, as if worried that something weird would break through the window in the next second, "It's not like a dog, but like a dog." ...People, no, no, no, definitely not people, it's dogs that have become spirits..."

He lowered his voice and defended himself: "It must have become a spirit. People say that the bones and internal organs of animals that have lived for hundreds of years will gradually change into human appearance, and when the appearance is also human, That is the cultivation of the essence..."

The more you talk, the more you get lost, Luo Ren's face darkened: "Talk about the key points, then what?"

Ding Laojiu accompanied him with a smile: "Little...brother, think about it, we were scared to death at the time, how could we dare to have any other thoughts, and we were afraid of being bumped into and not clear, so we hurriedly packed up Buried, just...buried under the tree where Comrade Zhang engraved..."

Under that tree?

Could it be that they were so close to the grave of the dog that read characters just a few hours ago?

It seems that I have a clue, but it seems that I can't figure out why.

Ding Laojiu felt that he had made it clear, and was about to take a long breath when he suddenly found Luo Ren's eyes staring at him like an awl, and immediately became terrified again.

He never mentioned this matter to anyone. After that, although he didn't lose sleep every night, he couldn't help but think about it after a year or so.

The more I think about it, the more afraid I become. He is afraid of becoming a spirit, and he is even more afraid of being a person. He is also afraid that the weird thing has a lair deep in the mountains, and there are filial sons and grandchildren waiting for revenge in it—so he later brought people into the mountains. , Even if the tourists asked again, he would not go in. Either he said that there were wild animals in the mountains and it was not safe, or he said that his legs and feet were not good enough to walk.

Unexpectedly, after more than 20 years, someone suddenly mentioned this, could it be...

Suddenly a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind, Ding Laojiu's scalp exploded, he shrank back with a scream, and said, "Aren't you... have cultivated into human beings..."

He was trembling all over, his knees were weak, and he didn't know what he was talking about, but he vaguely remembered a few words.

——There is a wrong and a debt, and I want to find the person surnamed Zhang.

——I really didn’t do anything, he wanted to eat dog meat, so I helped...

It took Luo Ren a long time to react, and he couldn't help laughing for a while, Cao Yanhua said angrily: "Master, it's okay to read more books, why do we look like adults?"

What, isn't it?

That's good, that's good, Ding Laojiu smiled uneasily, and slowly calmed down.

We can't blame him either, he is old, illiterate, and has been guarding the mountains for many years. Weird stories are more deeply rooted in his mind than any science.

It seems that some people are not scared, and they are easy to be stupid when they make a sudden move——Luo Ren thought for a while, and then changed a relatively gentle tone: "Master, please think about it, this happened When, or before and after, is there anything wrong?"

What's wrong? What's wrong, Ding Laojiu's eyes are hooked, a little right.

Luo Ren endured his temper: "It just looks weird, and I can't explain the reason."

Ding Laojiu frowned, trying to remember something, when Luo Ren and the others were waiting with little hope, he suddenly hesitated and said: "There is one... I don't know if it is or not."

"When the dog was finally buried, there were strips on the dog's body, just like the feeling of sticking a big tape on it, and then tearing it out, the fur was gone. But I don't remember where it came from. It was like this when you were born, or it will become like that after you die..."

Luo Ren's heart beat violently: "How many? How many are there?"

"Five or six... six or seven, right? Some of them are intertwined, and I can't figure it out just by looking at them."

***

Going back to the car, I didn’t think about leaving for a while. Seeing the opportunity, the villagers surrounded me in twos and threes. Cao Yanhua leaned out of the car window and said a few words to one of them, and the man ran away. When I go back, when I come back, I have a bag of washed apples in my right hand, and a bag of freshly burnt corn in my left hand.

The burnt corn smells really good, even though he was holding it with hot hands, Kiyo peeled off the leaves while huffing and biting down, his lips, corners of his mouth, cheeks, and even the tip of his nose were all black.

However, no one is much better than her.

It seems to have become a habit to chat while eating. No matter how dangerous things are, they can be used for dinner.

Fengzi Ridge, with triple peaks, connected head to tail, it is unlikely that the peaks are equal in height, so the overall layout should be like a staggered, huge phoenix clasp.

This terrain is carefully selected.

After the word recognition dog left Long Town, in order to find a secluded place to return to his old age, he chose Fengziling.

Here, by chance, the fierce letter that was sealed last round was opened.

According to Ding Laojiu's last description, Luo Ren felt that the strange long strips appeared on the recognition dog, and the seven fierce slips were all on the recognition dog at the same time.

Cao Yanhua was dumbfounded: "Seven roots, brother Luo, one of the upper body is amazing, if you have all seven roots, it can't fly into the sky."

13,000 thought for a while: "My opinion is the same as Luo Ren's—don't forget, when the fierce Jane attached to a person, the process was very slow."

If you look at the fierce Jane as an adult, no matter how big or fierce the devil is, he has been suppressed for hundreds of years, trapped for hundreds of years, and starved for hundreds of years. It was overwhelming.

They may have stiff hands and feet, and suddenly they are not used to being untied. The hungry old eyes are dazzled and the limbs are weak, trembling and unable to walk. They need to recover and absorb nourishment.

A word-recognition dog is the best tonic, in other words, anyone who can open the fierce letter is a doomed tonic and cause and effect.

I don’t know how many cold and hot days we spent together, just in the inaccessible Fengziling, no matter it’s the morning and evening of heavy rain or the day and night when the mountain is covered by snow, the outside world is so noisy, here, the invisible fierce Jane is like sucking blood The leech, attached to the body of the dog, went from barren to plump, from stiff and sluggish to being able to flexibly stretch its limbs.

Then, it's time to get out.

Why did Zhang Guanghua and Ding Laojiu, who were nothing at all, get beaten to death by the recognition dog with seven fierce slips?

Luo Ren said: "It's not that they'can kill', it's that Ji Jian is willing to make such a situation happen."

Going out of the mountains means a new round of layout. From the deep mountains to the world, a flexible and unobtrusive carrier is needed.

Unloading the grind and killing the donkey, the murderer briefly leaves and transfers, takes a ride, and starts a new round of game world.

Yan Hongsha suddenly thought of something: "Then...they are all eyeing Zhang Guanghua, why did they let Ding Laojiu go instead?"

Luo Ren had already finished eating, so he took out a wet tissue to wipe his face and hands, one was used up, and he was about to draw another, when Kiyo suddenly turned his face up.

Naturally, I wiped it off for her subconsciously. Her skin is so good. The water from the paper towel stays on the skin for a while, giving off a shimmer, so radiant that it can be broken by blowing a bomb.

On the other side, Cao Yanhua gave his opinion: "Maybe it has something to do with Ding Laojiu being from Fengziling? The fierce Jane should hate this place extremely."

One thousand three thinks it is reasonable: "Ding Laojiu does not move his nest all year round, but Zhang Guanghua is obviously an outsider. With Zhang Guanghua as the first stop, the subsequent diversion will be easy."

Therefore, by mistake, by mistake, this round of vicious news, indeed, began with Zhang Guanghua. I don't know where he was "unloaded" in a daze. Maybe it was another crowded tourist attraction. , Maybe it's a lively market, maybe it's an inadvertent pass.

One sticks deeply to him, and the other six quietly leave gradually, like thick ink, dissolving in a big lake.

Each root has traveled a long way. The initial "integration" of possession may not be smooth, and the "connection" between each other may not be timely. There are repetitions, deviations, early return, and sudden The situation is completely different, but it doesn't matter, these fluctuations are within the acceptable range.

Day after day, the points gradually formed, corresponding to the huge spoon handle in the sky, and suddenly one day, the faint light of seven stars shone on the hinterland of the mainland.

***

Perhaps, the legendary bronze phoenix luan buttons and the wooden slips that Lao Tzu originally used to extradite Qi Dao Qi are scattered in Fengziling.

However, in such a big three mountains, finding these small things is more difficult than finding a live dog, right?

Back at the hotel, staring at the countdown card that will turn to "10" in a few hours, Cao Yanhua jumped anxiously, and discussed a feasible method with Wansan: advertise to recruit more people to come Can you find it? Is it okay to offer a reward?

The idea even hit Yan Hongsha: "Sister Hongsha, doesn't your grandfather know how to read 'Bao Qi'? Or you should try it too? Bronze wares are also treasures, cultural relics."

Yan Hongsha didn't make a sound.

One thousand three hearts moved: "Er Huo, you really know how to read, right?"

Yan Hongsha said: "I definitely don't know how to watch it. My grandfather never trained me. You know, I practiced Xiabaojing. But..."

However, old man Yan will know, moreover, this life experience, passed down from generation to generation, it is impossible not to leave it behind.

The time Yan Hongsha sold her mansion in Kunming to pay off her debts, she cleared everything in the house.

In the past, she didn't stay in grandpa's house, she always felt lifeless and smelled of traditional Chinese medicine accumulated over the years, but that time, she tidied up old man Yan's house corner by corner.

I also got to see the manuscript of Caibao handed down by the Yan family.

It was not for her, but for uncle Yan Jiuxiao. There was even a word on the title page, which meant that the descendants of the Yan family must abide by the precepts, and those who are not personal heirs are not allowed to read it.

How bleak it is, grandpa is dead, and uncle Yan Jiuxiao is also dead.

Yan Hongsha sighed, she really didn't look through it, she just kept this copy by her side.

Cao Yanhua was overjoyed: "Where is it?"

Yan Hongsha pursed her lips and motioned for her luggage beside the sofa.

This is what it means to walk through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go. Tensan swallowed: "Well... didn't your family go down the well to pick pearls? You can also see this kind of gold, silver, copper and iron?"

"There are all kinds of treasures in the treasure-picking manuscript. It's just that my grandfather is very good at Baojing." Yan Hongsha couldn't understand why they were so enthusiastic about it, "Besides, the Phoenix Luan buckle, that is, three pieces of bronze Well, such a little bit, how can there be any treasure."

Cao Yanhua and Shi Wansan's answers are surprisingly consistent.

"Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

"Is it better than nothing."

The two stared at Yan Hongsha together, waiting for her to show her.

Bitting her lips, Yan Hongsha suddenly covered her eyes with her hands and shouted: "It's none of my business, I'm a descendant of the Yan family, so I can't watch it."

Cao Yanhua and 13,000 screamed, and rushed straight to the luggage bag: Anyway, they are not.

Luo Ren smiled wryly. He didn't have any hope for this, so he got up and said, "I'll make a call."

He entered the inner room of the suite, and the door was slightly ajar. Outside, Ten Thousand and Cao Yanhua were chattering fiercely. Yan Hongsha was very cute, and kept covering his eyes—in fact, Ten Thousand and the others were far away from her. , she is also really good at avoiding suspicion.

Kiyo was afraid that the noise would be too loud, so he went to help Luo Ren close the door, through the gap between the door opening, he saw that the window in the back room was half open, Luo Ren was leaning against the window, waiting for the phone to connect, and when he saw her, he waved let her in.

Kido thought he had something to do with him, so he took the door and walked over. When he got close, Luo Ren smiled slightly, stretched out his arms to hug her, bowed his head and kissed her forehead, and said something in Japanese.

I spoke Japanese to the mobile phone, so I was talking to the other party.

Then why did you let her in? Let's be intimate while making a phone call, without delay?

Kiyo was angry, twisted his body and wanted to leave, Luo Ren tightened his arms, hugged her back, gave her a provocative look, then smiled quickly, and said: "Aoki."

Call Aoki? Kiyo wanted to listen curiously, but was unwilling to be obedient, rolled his eyes, smiled and hugged Luo Ren back, tiptoed, and kissed his lips.

Luo Ren had no choice but to hide from her sometimes, and when he was angry, he squeezed her waist hard.

However, the call has been going smoothly.

I heard him say: "Qingmu, the American version of the bounty hunter improved by the Frenchman Arnold, I know there are goods in China. Help me quickly ask around, here in the north, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi , as long as I have it, I need it urgently.”

He also said: "Japanese girls are really easy to talk to, Yukiko just let you pass the test."

I don't know what Aoki said, Luo Ren replied: "In the next life, I didn't introduce it to me earlier, but now I say it, it's not like you don't know that when Kiyo gets angry, he will hit people."

In the receiver, Kiyo could even hear Aoki laughing.

I was so angry that my teeth were itching. After hanging up the phone, she said to Luo Ren: "Aoki wants to introduce you to a gentle and beautiful Japanese girlfriend? Don't miss this opportunity. If you don't miss it again, it will be for the rest of your life."

The wind in the upper floors was so strong that it leaked into the window, and there was a huff, and the hair flew up and covered the eyes.

She stretched out her hand to take care of it, but Luo Ren said, "Don't move."

He picked up Kiyo's hair, squinted his eyes for a while, and said, "Kiyo, when your hair flies up, there are stars in the middle, so beautiful."

Really?

Kiyo looked back, sure enough, the night was late, the lights on the ground had been extinguished a lot, and the stars in the sky appeared to be bright and blinking.

Her mood suddenly calmed down.

Looking back at Luo Ren, confirm with him: "Do Japanese girls have stars in their hair?"

Luo Ren said: "Absolutely not."

***

Outhouse.

13,000 and Cao Yanhua shook their heads, competing to read the manuscript.

"Look here, it is said that people who go down to Baojing often have inexplicable gnawing wounds, 'Bao Qi is like a snake', they were bitten by Bao."

"There are green onions on the mountain, and silver at the bottom. Leeks on the mountain, and gold at the bottom. Leek? Is that leek in the dumpling?"

Yan Hongsha covered her ears and almost got under the sofa cushion: "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen!"

But 13,000's voice still pierced into his ears tenaciously: "I'll go! It's really bronze, I thought it was worthless."

Cao Yanhua said contemptuously: "Didn't you see this sentence written, 'The theory of the inadequacy of those who came after the Qin Dynasty', people are looking for bronzes from before the Qin Dynasty, which are called cultural relics. It is also written here, also known as 'Ji Jin' '. Hey, there are comments here..."

Yan Hongsha pricked up her ears to listen, but there was no sound.

She was itchy and couldn't help getting up from the sofa: "What did you write?"

…

It is written that bronze is different from natural treasures. Its value is mostly due to its age, so even a pair of rigorously trained "precious eyes" may not be able to see it. Moreover, bronzes are mostly large pieces. , it is difficult to carry, and to the treasure hunters, it is like a chicken rib and is not admired.

In the few lines below, a "secret method" is listed, and it is said that this method is weird, it will cause great harm to people, and the gain is not worth the loss. It is not recommended to try, and it is only hearsay.

This is the same as not writing.

The so-called secret method is even more frightening.

Swallow earthworms, ants, scorpions, centipedes, rice with shells alive, burn yellow paper painted with cinnabar to ashes, serve with strong wine, and drink it all in one gulp.

On the manuscript, there is also the style of a talisman—as expected it was used to find bronze. The talisman looks like a bronze national treasure, the Siyang Square Zun.

It is said that people who try this method will go crazy, seem to have the nature of these species that can live underground, and will desperately plan with their hands-the place where they are planed, there may be bronzes with a history of thousands of years.

Cao Yanhua shuddered: "Is that called insanity? It's poisoning and drunk madness."

No wonder it hurts people a lot, not only "injury", but also "hand planing", which is shameful.

During the conversation, Luo Ren and Kiyo came out of the room.

Luo Ren said: "I contacted Aoki and asked him to send me two modified bounty hunters, that is, underground metal detectors, by tomorrow at the latest. There was a Frenchman in the Philippines, Arnold, who The bounty hunters I have experienced are more sensitive in positioning and detection, and the depth can reach more than 10 meters underground. Let's work harder, even if all the staff are stationed in Fengziling, as long as the things are there, within three days, I think there will be results of."

Bounty hunter? Is it high tech? Or modified by the French? Cao Yanhua was excited for a while.

13,000 but no, he didn't seem to care much about Luo Ren's words, sitting on the sofa, looking straight ahead.

There, Cao Jiefang, as always, took a walk in the house with graceful steps, walked over, walked over, walked over, and came over again.

One thousand three suddenly bumped Cao Yanhua with his elbow, and asked him in a low voice: "Hey, fat, do chickens eat centipedes?"

"Eat it, didn't you say 'Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede'?"

"Do you eat ants?"

"Definitely eat it, it pecks on the ground every day..."

Halfway through the answer, Cao Yanhua's heart skipped a beat.

He understood what 13,000 meant.

The two people, who knew each other well, had a tacit understanding, suddenly realized, hit it off, and looked at each other.
