The handsome man in the entertainment industry

.

In Zhou Han's words, he has been very busy recently and works as an "informant" part-time. Even if he can't help in the "professional" aspect, he can still carry luggage and equipment as a half-strong labor force!However, it is obvious that both Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng have no unrealistic expectations for his "labor force". It is only because he is too gracious to Bai Yiming, and the movie king does not show any rejection, so it is not unreasonable. Say more, let them be happy.

On the day the plane arrived at the provincial capital of Province S, it was a rare day at the airport where there was no heavy rain and it was a sunny day.

Several people rented a car in the provincial capital and drove it for a day. In places where the mountain roads were too rough and the road conditions were too bad, they changed to local farmers’ own ox carts. The nearest village to the lost place.

"So, what's going on now?"

Before Xiao Xiao's group of four arrived, a medical team and several staff had arrived three days ago. The leader of this group was also very familiar to them, and he was working in the private hospital in the development zone. The long-haired beauty Dr. Lin.

The small village where the few people are now is located in the Qinling Mountains. It is not much larger than the Xijia Village where Ruan Mudeng visited. The whole village has only a thousand people. , most of the rest are old, weak and rotten scholars, less than half of the total population.

After the medical team arrived, they directly occupied the only small clinic in the village and isolated all the patients inside.

"Seven people in this village have been 'sick' so far."

Today, Dr. Lin is not wearing a mask, his long black hair is still tied up high, his gold-rimmed glasses are well-fitted, and he is wearing a neat field uniform with a white coat, making him appear more capable than usual neat.

"You come with me."

She led Xiao Xiao's group, who hadn't even had time to drink their saliva, into the narrow and dark small clinic, opened the plastic curtain hastily hung on the door of one of the temporary wards, and took them to see the "patients" inside. .

In the small room, four beds were arranged in a staggered manner, making the room even more crowded. Three of the beds were occupied by people. I don't know if it was because of the disease or the medicine. They were all covered with quilts. Closed and fell into a deep sleep, unaware of their visitors.

On the bed closest to the door, lay a skinny man about five or sixty years old, with dimples all over his face and hands. Because he had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, it was hard to tell his exact age.But the little bit of his skin that was exposed outside his clothes was covered with large and small ulcers, and some of the edges of the sores had turned out skin, and some yellow-yellow juice leaked from the center of the ulcer. The wound looked chilling.

"Fuck!"

Zhou Han, who had never seen such a scene before, gasped in fright at this moment, stepped back two steps, and shamelessly hid behind Bai Yiming, who was still a few centimeters shorter than him, with a pair of paws familiarly Just hug each other's shoulders.

"This, this, this looks very serious!"

"It's serious."

Doctor Lin nodded solemnly, stretched out his hand to hold the wrist of the old farmer on the bed, and pulled out his hand buried under the quilt for several people to see, "The fingernails of these people's hands have turned black, and they began to fester and fall off from the ends. It is the character for 'black' in 'Baishan Heishui'."

"What is 'White Mountain Black Water'?"

Ruan Mudeng approached his master and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Xiao frowned, showing a rare tangled and serious expression on her face, "This is a very vicious trick that used tomb layouts that appeared in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. The predecessor of the tomb bureau that has been through."

After quickly explaining, he looked at Dr. Lin again, "So, apart from these patients, have you found anything else?"

"Indeed."

Dr. Lin closed his head again and said: "We have investigated carefully and found that the villagers who were surrendered all tended their own fields on a hill behind the village, and then we found a newly excavated land in the nearby forest. The traces, it feels...it should be a robbery hole."

Hearing what the beauty doctor said, Xiao Xiao immediately cut off her words abruptly, and first decided what she was most concerned about, "You didn't venture in, did you?"

"No."

Dr. Lin shook his head, "Looking at the entrance of the hole, the thieves dug the hole very smoothly and professionally, not like a novice's work, but it is very strange that these people who dug the hole did not refill the soil to cover up the traces. For professional tomb robbers, it was too abnormal, we felt that something was wrong, so we only protected the scene, and the others didn't even touch a handful of soil."

"That's fine."

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it's really 'white mountains and black waters', then it can explain...the problem of 'that place'."

He pressed his fingers lightly on his chin, as if he was in the midst of a long exam. After a moment of silence, he continued: "It seems that this time, we have to completely solve this old case that has dragged on for several years. It's..."

&&&&&&&&&

That night, the four of them were arranged to stay temporarily at the home of the eldest son of the village chief who went out to work, but because there were not many vacant rooms, they had to share one room, so Xiao Xiao naturally lived in the same room with her apprentice, while Bai Yiming and Zhou Han Sleeping next to them.

After a hasty and simple dinner, Xiao Xiao went back to her room, sat under the desk lamp, held a map, and pondered over it carefully.

Since the failure of confession, this is the first time that Ruan Mudeng and his master have been alone in the same small space for such a long time. He is thinking about his brother who is in danger, and he is extremely anxious inside, but he has not yet been able to break through. Completely freed from the shyness and embarrassment behind the window paper, she was sitting on the single bed two arms away from Xiao Xiao at this time, staring fixedly at the other side's delicate side face under the lamp with lowered brows and restrained eyes, with a lot of thoughts in her heart Overwhelmed, many questions do not know where to ask.

"Xiao Xiao..."

He was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to break the silence in the room.

"Now can you tell me what is going on with the so-called 'white mountains and black waters'?"

Xiao Xiao raised her head, and waved at Ruan Mudeng calmly as usual, then pointed to the map on the table, motioning him to sit beside her and look at it together.

Ruan Mudeng moved his butt, shortening the distance between the two arms to only ten centimeters.

"Do you still remember the sketch map of the tomb in your hometown that I drew for you back then?"

Xiao Xiao raised the pen and clicked on a small cross-shaped map that he randomly scribbled on the blank space on the edge of the map. He ticked five circles at the intersection of the four endpoints and the middle.

"Well, I remember."

Ruan Mudeng nodded affirmatively.

"That's actually a simplified version of 'White Mountains and Black Waters'."

Xiao Xiao began to explain to her apprentice.

"The so-called 'White Mountains and Black Waters' is a representative of the tomb drop technique that appeared when the general education reached its peak in the middle and late Song Dynasty. The method is that the performer arranges the four Fengshui acupoints with different properties and Let the four tombs with different functions echo each other at a distance to form a systematic landing array to protect the core tomb."

He paused, then continued:

"The scary thing about this tomb drop is that the four accompanying tombs are each a very dangerous and lethal drop technique. If the tomb robbers want to get their hands on the central tomb, they must first break through the four corners one by one. If this is not the case, anyone who breaks into the tomb will inevitably suffer the most severe and appalling backlash from the entire tomb drop technique—it is not easy to ask for a quick death, and usually they can only end up worse than life Die, or simply become a human victim bound by the tomb, never to have a peaceful day."

"So, the word 'black' in this black character means that it will cause ulcers and sores all over the body, and the nails will turn black and peel off?"

Ruan Mudeng listened carefully.

"Correct."

Xiao Xiao nodded, and explained in detail: "Although they are also companion tombs, the four tombs of 'Baishan Heishui' are arranged according to the location of the core main tomb at the time when the tomb was closed, and according to the arrangement of the four evil gates: injury, shock, scene, and death. horns, but the degree of danger is not the same."

Ruan Mudeng summed it up a bit, "So, the black character Jiang in Jingmen is actually the most flat among them?"

"Now it seems that it should be so."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Actually, the formation method, effectiveness and power of the four companions' tombs, which I have seen before, are just the word 'white' here."

As he spoke, he raised his pen to draw a circle in a certain valley on the map, and wrote the word "white" in the circle.

"That is somewhat similar to the Yuan Tomb you encountered in Xijia Village back then. It also uses the method of raising Gu with human corpses, and tens of thousands of Gu worms are raised. It's just that these Gu worms don't suck human brains, but eat people. The blood, rushing to the intruders in groups, can suck a large living person into a white and miserable mummy in less than a minute—hence the name 'white'."

After hearing his master's explanation, Ruan Mudeng couldn't help thinking of the swarm of eight-legged insects that looked like spiders and beetles that he saw in Xijia Village that day, as well as the appearance of a group of film crew colleagues who turned into living dead .

"Is the tomb in white characters still here?"

"No, the white characters were broken a long time ago."

Xiao Xiao made another cross on the white circle drawn just now, indicating that there is no threat to this tomb surrender.

"Do you still remember what I told you before, I have a brother who raised me up? This Bai
