[Old Nine Gates] Homecoming

————I am the dividing line pulled back by the playback lens———

"Spiritualization?" Zhang Qishan's face turned dark.

"That's right, soul-hunting technique." Huo Tong plausibly said, "I got the news from the eyeliner that Huo Xian and Lu Jianxun were in collusion. Today they made an appointment to meet in the theater in Taipingli. In order to collect evidence, I guarded in Taipingli early. Unexpectedly, I met a woman who was pregnant with my Huo family's golden nail halfway. Heh, now I finally understand why Huo Xian kept the news of the golden nail's loss, because she was the one who gave the golden nail to outsiders. She I found a good helper, and tied myself and Lu Jianxun firmly together. But this woman is too rampant, thinking that with Huo Xian's backing, she has a backer, and dares to wear Buddha's things to show off in the market. Buddha, in my opinion , although it is said that the king is captured first, but since she, Huo Xian, dared to use the soul-stirring technique to find someone to seduce the Buddha, she shouldn't blame us for stealing money and drawing salary from the bottom of the pot."

Zhang Qishan's complexion has turned dark.

The adjutant wanted to go up and remind Huo Tong that the second ring ring was given to Yu Manli by the Buddha.Zhang Qishan stopped the adjutant, and asked calmly: "What's the matter with the soul-stirring technique?"

Huo Tong saw that it was hopeful to win over Buddha, he thought for a while and said, "Buddha, let's talk alone."

Zhang Qishan led Huo Tong into the study, and he sat behind the desk: "You can talk now."

Huo Tong took off the nail-seeking ring and handed it to Zhang Qishan: "Since the Huo family was established in the late Qing Dynasty, there have been four branches. Each branch has learned different skills from the ancestors, but each branch has never communicated with each other and does not know each other's unique skills. What exactly is it? One of my unique skills in Huo Eryi is to use the nail-seeking ring to find the nail-holder, and to use the sound of the nail-seeking ring to disturb the other party's mind. These skills are all related to people's mind. I heard that one of them is to control people's actions, and it is even rumored that it can move the position of the controlled person by itself. I didn't believe it at first, but when I was about to pick her second ring today, The woman disappeared immediately. How could it be such a coincidence, she happened to have Huo Xian's plum blossom nails. From this point of view, the soul-hunting technique is worthwhile." She purposely concealed the part that stabbed Yu Manli.

Zhang Qishan could hear some hatred and jealousy from Huo Tong's last sentence.Indeed, not only the Nine Schools, but also each family is fighting openly and secretly. Everyone wants to have the best, and everyone is worried that they will fall into the bottom.It was also because of this unconcealable jealousy that Zhang Qishan knew that what Huo Tong said was not fake.

This also explains what Manli said that she would often wake up in the ancient tomb, as well as her abnormality that day.

Thinking of Yu Manli, Zhang Qishan's heart was disturbed again, he sighed, and looked down to the drawer.There was also an envelope given to him by Huo Xian, which contained letters between Huo Tong and Lu Jianxun.Huo Xian advised him to be careful of Huo Tong the day before yesterday, but now Huo Tong has come to criticize Huo Xian again.

But he is not interested in these, he just wants to know what is going on with soul-hunting.

Huo Tong didn't understand what Zhang Qishan was thinking.It would be best to win over Zhang Qishan, but she also knew not to push too hard, so she could only stand still.

At this time, Zhang Qishan's cell phone rang at the right time, breaking the embarrassing tranquility.

Foye answered the phone, but it was a number he didn't recognize. He waited for the other party to speak first.There was a cough over there, and then a man asked in Mandarin with a Hunan accent: "Excuse me, is Miss Yu Manli's boyfriend?"

Zhang Qishan was taken aback for a moment, boyfriend?

Zhang Qishan didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either: "What's the matter?"

The other end of the phone half-thought and said: "Yu Manli is in the theater in Taipingli, the bruise on Yu Manli's forehead has disappeared." Putting it in Mandarin is very unnatural.

Zhang Qishan covered the microphone: "Where did you say you met the woman wearing the ring ring?"

Huo Tong was puzzled: "Taiping."

Zhang Qishan let go of the phone: "I see." Just as he was about to hang up, the other side of the phone suddenly said, "Hey, I'm talking about you, my sister Tuo Changdi is handsome and handsome, and has a gentle temper. You drive her out You don’t even have to change your child, if you want me to say, come early to pick up Meituo’s guests and live a good life.” After speaking, I felt that I had a sense of justice, and I didn’t take that card of Grandpa Mao in vain, so I hung up the phone .

Wearing slippers?Reminiscent of the bloodstains in the living room upstairs, Zhang Qishan quickly took out the ring ring and took a picture under the lamp. What he vaguely saw just now was indeed bloodstains.If she was really controlled by someone, Yu Manli might be silenced at any time.Later, she must have sensed the danger or situation, so she found someone to call him.

Zhang Qishan took a few steps to the door of the study, opened the door, and ordered to the adjutant: "Rishan, treat Miss Huo Er well, and discuss with her when I come back. Eighth, let's go to the tea village now."

No matter who it was, whether it was Huo Xian or Huo Tong, it had nothing to do with them. In short, as long as he was around, no one could think of hurting Yu Manli.

However, before Zhang Qishan came to the living room, Zhang Rishan came over with a serious expression, and the phone in his hand was still on the phone: "Master Buddha, the detachment leader called and said that hundreds of corpses were found under the Wazhai Bajiao Bridge, all of them were lazy." It was chopped off in half and piled between two cliffs, and he told you to hurry over there."

Zhang Qishan paused, Wazhai?Then he quickly walked towards the door: "Can you be sure when you died?"

Zhang Rishan hurriedly followed up: "The forensic doctor has not yet arrived, but according to the preliminary judgment of the detachment leader, the time span of these people's deaths is very long. Some have been dead for decades, and some have died for less than a year. Also, Lord Buddha, on the top of this pile of corpses, there is an intact female corpse, wearing armor, the detachment leader deduced that she should have died within 24 hours."

Hearing this, Zhang Qishan stared at Zhang Rishan fiercely.

Only then did Zhang Rishan come to his senses, he didn't explain himself, and quickly explained: "I've seen the photos, it's not Yu Manli."

Zhang Qishan didn't know if he was relieved or not.He walked to the door and looked at Qi Tiezui firmly, as if he was entrusting his life to Gu Gu.Qi Tie couldn't say it well, Buddha's eyes would definitely make him do something important, and he wanted to slip when he opened the door.

Zhang Qishan pushed the door shut and handed him a bunch of car keys: "Fortune teller, it's time for you to perform. I have something to do for you. Now you go to Xiangtang to get the compass, be sure to give Yu Manli the compass." I found."

Qi Tiezui pushed his glasses: "But Buddha, do you think I can do it alone?"

Zhang Qishan opened the door and walked out with the adjutant: "If you can't do it, you have to do it. I just praised you for being courageous."

Qi Tiezui spat, thinking that you are waiting for me here.Buddha said again: "What's more, only you can understand the compass, and only you can use it. As for Miss Huo Er." Huo Tong also came out of the study at this time.Zhang Qishan frowned: "See you another day."

-

Qi Tiezui was driving the car, his hands holding the steering wheel were sweaty.He doesn't drive much, and his driver's license is almost used as half of his ID card. He is anxious and won't take advantage of people rushing to drive along the way.I didn't know how many "stumbled da da da" I scolded, and finally arrived at Xiangtang.

He jumped out of the car, hurriedly took out a bunch of keys from his body to open the iron chain on the door.As a result, his hand slipped, and the key didn't go into the keyhole, but fell to the ground.He bent down to pick it up, and his hands had already picked up the key before him.He raised his head and saw a young girl.

Maybe I was too anxious just now, and I didn't notice anyone.Qi Tiezui thanked politely: "Come to stay at the hotel? Hey, girl, I'm sorry." He corrected the "Closed Business" sign hanging on the door, "Unfortunately, we will be closed for two days and the door will not be opened, you go Look elsewhere."

The little girl looked like an introverted person, and when Qi Tiezui said it, she immediately blushed shyly: "Boss, I don't live in the store, so I'm here to inquire about something."

Qi Tiezui had already opened the door, and hurried to the back of the counter: "Inquire about something? Then I don't have time, let's do it tomorrow, I don't have time today." The gesture was about to hit people.

The little girl acted as if she hadn't heard, and took out a photo from her backpack, put it on the counter and pushed it to Qi Tiezui: "Is your surname Qi? Are you a descendant of the Qi family in Jiumenli? Can you help me?" Have you seen this man?"

Qi Tiezui didn't expect the little girl to recognize his identity, so he couldn't help but look at her again, glimpsed the photo on the table out of the corner of his eye, Qi Tiezui was puzzled: Little handsome guy?

"You know him?" Qi Tiezui kept making compass formations.

The little girl asked excitedly: "Have you seen him? Do you know where he is?"

Qi Tiezui shook his head apologetically, and tried to comfort her: "Are you his relative? Hey, he is dead. If you ask where he is, I don't know. Go to the police station and ask, maybe His body can be found. But you have to be mentally prepared, he did die violently."

The little girl had an unbelievable expression on her face, and then felt lost, but soon regained her spirits.She took out another photo from her bag, and said to Tie Zui as if she was looking forward to it or watching a play: "What about this person? Have you ever seen this person?"

Qi Tiezui was even more puzzled: Isn't this the photo of Wang Qijun that Zhang Qishan showed him?

"How did you know him?"

The corner of the little girl's mouth curled into a sinister smile: "Because he is my grandfather."

Qi Tiezui felt his scalp tighten, and he couldn't tell where. Anyway, there was a feeling of being connected somewhere. Before he could think about it, the magnetic dipper on the compass shook violently, and finally pointed to a place——Yu Manli first The next well.

Qi Tiezui pushed the photo back, and took a bundle of rope and a short knife: "Girl, I have something urgent to do now, and I need to go to a place. You wait for me here first, and I will talk about it when I come back."

Unexpectedly, the little girl pulled the zipper of her backpack and ran out after Qi Tiezui: "I'll go with you."

☆, Chapter 22

Arriving at the well, just as Qi Tiezui was about to open the door, the little girl firmly grabbed Qi Tiezui's sleeve: "You went to the wrong place, you went to the wrong place."

Qi Tiezui pulled down the little girl's hand: "Stay here and don't move, I will tell you when I come back."

The little girl ignored him, but grabbed him even harder: "It's at Fengshan Pass, not here. You really went to the wrong place."

Qi Tiezui was really angry this time, but he still tried to persuade him: "I said girl, do you know that the boy was killed in Fengshan Pass, so you dragged me to go with you? Don't worry, wait Will you go to the police station with me after I finish the work? I know the Changsha city defense officer, and I promise to help you find someone!"

A moment of sadness flashed in the little girl's eyes, but she cheered up immediately.She was so anxious that her cheeks were flushed, worried that Qi Tiezui would really go down the well, suddenly thought of something, quickly took off the backpack, fumbled in it for a long time, found a chess piece, and looked at Qi Tiezui pleadingly: " I really didn't lie to you, it will be too late."

Qi Tiezui took the chess piece, which was a "pawn" in black.He is very familiar with this chess piece. He used this set of chess every day when he watched Uncle Wang play chess—rare rosewood wood, with a black hole the size of a fingernail in the center of the back.In order to avoid any mistakes, Qi Tiezui took off his glasses and looked at chess for a long time like a magnifying glass.

The little girl pushed Tiezui, and was about to cry out in anxiety: "Are you ready? Let's go. If it's too late, it will be too late."

Qi Tiezui glanced at the little girl, and felt that this feeling seemed familiar. Combined with the upside-down world, it is not impossible for the compass to point in the wrong direction.Qi Tiezui returned the chess piece to the little girl: "Let's go!"

When the car drove to a distance of 400 meters in front of Fengshan Pass, there was a narrow path, and then the car couldn't drive in.Qi Tiezui hurriedly packed his things and jumped out of the car, and he didn't have time to take care of the girl, so he just said "don't move", and burrowed into the Fengshan Pass.

After walking a few steps, the two big mountains shook on the spot, and the place sealed by the cordon rumbled into the ground, and gravel kept falling from the mountain, Qi Tiezui covered his head with his coat, and staggered towards I walked inside, took a few steps but couldn't walk steadily anymore, so I had to lie on the ground to avoid injury.

After a while, the ground stopped sinking, and Qi Tiezui hurriedly stood up, and vaguely saw a copper coffin appearing in the sinking place, and a pigeon soared to the sky with its wings spread.

The wings can fly without moving. Isn't this the dead pigeon recorded by the ancestors?

Qi Tiezui hurriedly squeezed the frame of his glasses to watch the pigeon, for fear of missing any clues.But he tried his best to see, but he didn't see the three-color silk imperial order that the ancestors said was stamped with the imperial treasure.

What the hell does this dead pigeon mean?

Is it a sign someone is going in?Or is it a signal that the formation in the coffin formation has changed?Is it only when the pigeons fly out that someone can come out?If this is the case, the little girl may have meant that when she said that it was too late, and asked him to rescue Yu Manli before the pigeon flew out.

Qi Tiezui hurriedly ran to the place where the pigeon flew, the copper coffin had sunk into the ground, and the huge crack was slowly closing.

Qi Tiezui tied one end of the rope to the rock nail and the other end to his waist.After finishing everything, his legs began to shake uncontrollably.Seeing that the gap was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to close, Qi Tiezui closed his eyes and cheered himself up: "Even Buddha, I'm afraid of someone! After saving Yu Manli, I will count it as a merit, even if I return If you don’t come, you can leave your name in history, hmph, what’s so scary about me!”

The double-loop rope was thrown into the gap, and before he could jump down, a pair of bloody hands suddenly grabbed the rope and pulled down.Qi Tiezui was taken aback, and his body staggered forward and fell into the gap, which then closed on top of his head.

Eyes flicked into the darkness, unable to see anything at all.Qi Tiezui waved his arms, holding a half-rusted bronze knife and slashing around: "Urgently, I am Monkey King, Monkey King, the great sage equal to heaven. I don't see any of you brats dare to make mistakes!"

Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice came from not far away, with surprise in his tone: "Baye?"

Qi Tiezui turned the bronze knife with the tip up and the blade outward like holding a Japanese gun, and followed the sound to the direction where the sound came from, but he didn't dare to move casually: "Manli, is that you? Is it you? "

Yu Manli's eyes have almost adapted to the darkness. Relying on her voice and weak visibility, she groped to get closer to Qi Tiezui step by step. When she felt that there was someone beside her, Manli asked happily and anxiously: "Ba Ye, what are you doing?" Why are you here?"

Qi Tiezui felt hands resting on his shoulders, weak and boneless, with no strength at all, and a little cold.Thinking that it might be Manli's hand, he hastily raised his shoulders, trying to borrow some strength from Manli.

"It's a long story. The key now is that we have to get out quickly."

Manli nodded: "Baye is right. But does Baye know where we are?"

Qi Tiezui loosened the rope buckle on his body: "Black Corpse Coffin Formation." Feeling the hands on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier, he wondered if Manli was injured. Cowardly, so I asked very manly, "Can you still hold on?"

Yu Manli looked up: "Don't worry, Ba Ye. But how did Ba Ye come in just now? Did he come down from above? Do you think we can go out from above?"

Qi Tiezui also looked up, but there was no trace of the crack that was opened just now: "I'm afraid it won't work. The entrance of the black corpse coffin array is a coffin. The opening just now is not so much a crack as the coffin lid has been opened. Closed means the lid of the coffin is closed. What is the coffin for? To pretend to be dead, only the living can go in, and there is no reason for the dead to come out. So unless someone pushes it away from the outside, don’t even think about it.”

Yu Manli was not discouraged: "Ba Ye, you just said that this is a black corpse coffin array, but I have been in it before, and the black corpse coffin array does not look like this, is it possible that the coffin array can move and find another way?"

Qi Tiezui took out his Nokia from his pocket, and prepared to use the light of the phone as a flashlight.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned on the screen, he saw a bloody face in front of his eyes, with both hands on his shoulders, and found that Qi Tiezui could see him, and he smiled strangely at him, with his mouth It opened, and even White Fang was stained with blood.

"I am! Zongzi!"

Qi Tiezui jumped back, almost throwing out the Nokia in his hand. With both hands closed, he quickly pulled out the bronze knife that had been inserted in the scabbard just now to untie the buckle.But the "person" was not willing to hold his hand to prevent him from moving. Then the "person" opened his mouth and was about to bite his neck, when suddenly he heard a "beep", and a gold nail fell from it. With her head sticking out from her shoulders, Yu Manli shouted, "Baye, cut him off."

Qi Tiezui went to draw the knife again, taking advantage of the moment when the "man" turned his head, he inserted the bronze knife straight into its neck.

The zongzi twitched a few times, then fell to the ground twisted and twisted.Yu Manli heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Tiezui again, but she was bouncing and twisting there, her head kept turning, turning in circles like a dog looking for its own tail: "Quickly see if there are any spots on me." , Damn, scared me to death!"

Yu Manli easily took off the golden nail from the dumpling's body: "Ba Ye, this kind of thing can't eat you." She also gave the bronze knife to Qi Tiezui.

Qi Tiezui took the bronze knife, and slashed at the rice dumpling a few more times: "Can't eat me? If you bite me, you will die. Hmph, you and the Buddha are now lovers and concubines who want to, and I will return it to you." I haven't even talked about love, I don't want to die."

Yu Manli hurriedly changed the subject, and asked casually, "Baye, do you have a flashlight?" Qi Tiezui turned on the phone again, but saw two unread text messages, both from Buddha, one of which was a MMS.

The text message read: Fortune teller, look at the allusions to these corpses.

The multimedia message is a few pictures of the scene, half of the corpses are stacked together, it looks scary and disgusting.

Turning to the last photo, in order is the first one sent by the Buddha, it is the female corpse on the top, the guard’s clothes have not been taken off, the angle of the photo is also from the suspension bridge, and it is sent from there Although the photo pixels are high, it takes half a day to open it on a Nokia with a full mouth.

After finally downloading the picture, Qi Tiezui let out a hush, then zoomed in on the picture to take a closer look, and really threw the phone out.

"This, this, this female ghost, I just saw it, this is the little girl who led me here just now! Stumbling, why do I see dead people every day recently?"
