Thousand Lantern Night

I was actually not sleepy in the quilt, but I was suddenly so depressed that I didn't want to speak.After a while I heard the door snap shut, and the room quickly fell silent.

But my heart could not be calm for a long time.The never-before-seen negative emotions flooded me like a tidal wave when I knew that I was not there, almost suffocating me.

The fat man was held hostage; someone attacked me, and even wanted my life; many people wanted to get the ghost seal that Pokerfing gave me, maybe it would threaten the safety of Pokerfinger; I went out in the past year, no Knowing what's going on, all of this, I'm clueless.

I always knew that I was not made for great things, and I didn't have the courage of my third uncle, so when I really faced this kind of difficult and unsolvable confusion, I was still very depressed.But I know, I don't have time to complain, I have to fix these problems.

A hand stretched out and lifted the quilt. I opened my eyes and saw that Feng Ying was no longer there.Xiao Hua stood by the bed, her handsome face was expressionless.

I didn't expect that he didn't leave, so I forced a smile and said to him, "Master Hua, if you want to beat me and scold me, go ahead. I will never fight back."

Xiaohua frowned, rubbed my head a few times, and said, "Is it useful to beat you and scold you? Are you a fool who makes people worry? Let me ask you, is something wrong with Fatty?"

As soon as the fat man was mentioned, I felt that my heart, liver and spleen were all broken into pieces. If I couldn't come up with a plan tonight, I would really have to collect the body tomorrow.Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiao Hua grabbed my shoulders and pulled me up, handed me a backpack, and cursed, "What an idiot, how long are you going to hide it from me? I saw you come back alone the night before, and I will Already suspected. Do you think I really don't know anything when I'm drunk?"

The backpack was the one I left at the hotel, and Xiaohua asked Feng Ying to bring it over for me.I took out the ghost seal inside, shook it, and said to Xiao Hua, "The person who kidnapped Fatty asked me to hand over the ghost seal and tell them the secret of the ghost seal. Is there really something strange about this thing? Could it be that there is a treasure map inside? "

Isn't that what usually drives people crazy?Could it be that Poker-Face left a fortune for my retirement when he left, and he plans to come out and live with me in ten years?

"I don't know." Xiaohua took the ghost seal, stuck his thumb, ring finger and little finger in the broken mark of the ghost seal, and held it in front of me, "Zhang Qiling once told you that this ghost seal can be used Come to open the bronze door. But you see, there is a broken part of the ghost seal. You didn’t try to open the door a year ago, firstly because you couldn’t find the way in; secondly, you once told me , you want to find the broken mark of the ghost seal and then open the door to see what is behind that door and what Zhang Qiling is doing inside. At that time you said, if the complete ghost seal can be exchanged for Zhang Qiling never having to go in again, you No matter what, we must find these broken marks. Then go to Changbai Mountain to find Tiangong, and bring Zhang Qiling home."

I was a little taken aback, but I am familiar with what Xiao Hua said, so I must have said it.I nodded and said, "You told me that I approached you a year ago and said I found clues to Guixi. So you must know those clues, right?"

Xiaohua smiled faintly, pinched a piece of flesh on my face and turned it around hard half a circle, making me scream.He said, "You really think that you are so confiding in me! At that time, you just told me that you found the clue, and you didn't even give me a fart for the rest!"

I "ah" and said, "Isn't that useless? You've told me so much, but you still don't know anything? Master Hua, can you speak up earlier if you don't have any ink in your heart? Waste my feelings!"

Xiaohua let go of me, and suddenly smiled meaningfully, making my hair stand on end. "If you are willing to put your affection on me, I can guarantee that you will never waste it." I was just about to say, Master Hua, don't be so coquettish, I won't be able to stand it, but he has already changed the subject. "I rushed to Hangzhou immediately after you told me about the ghost seal, but you had already left. In the following year, I couldn't find your person, so I had to try my best to find clues about the ghost seal and come to you. Finally, I also collected I found something valuable. I didn’t expect you to come back by yourself. I originally planned that if you told me that you were going to find Zhang Qiling, I would tell you these clues. If you didn’t mention it, then I would just pretend that there was nothing. occur."

No wonder I always feel that Xiao Hua looks at me so strangely, it turns out that he really knows everything!I was just about to say something about your uncle, if you didn't say it sooner, I was almost beaten to death, but Xiaohua has already spoken.He touched the bandaged wound on my head, and said in a heavy tone, "I'm sorry Wu Xie, if I had thought that Guixi would harm you earlier, I should have guarded you every step of the way. I was not cautious enough to let you suffer like this." Serious injury."

"Don't be his mother-in-law, can you?" I felt that the wound on my head that was touched by Xiao Hua seemed to be itching, and that feeling was weird, so I wanted to reach out and pull his hand off.I didn't want to just touch the back of his hand, but he turned his wrist and held my hand.I twitched and didn't pull it back, so I had to let him hold it like that.I asked him, "Then what are those clues you know? Can we use this to find the broken mark of the ghost seal?"

Xiaohua took the ghost seal and turned it over in front of me, and said, "Look, there are three broken marks on the ghost seal. The missing ones are the dragon claw, the fish tail and the ghost face. According to the information I have, the dragon and the fish are broken. I already have an idea of ​​the broken mark, but I don't know about the ghost face yet."

When I was surprised, I only felt a wave of excitement raised up, I didn't care about the ghost face or not, so I hurriedly urged Xiaohua to continue talking.Xiaohua asked me, "Have you heard of the dragons in Kunlun Mountain?" I shook my head, but I have heard of the little dragons.Xiaohua said, "It's normal if you haven't heard of it, because it's not recorded in any historical materials, it's just a folk legend. It is said that a mysterious race lived in the Nalingele Canyon in the Kunlun Mountains Communication with the outside world. There is an immortal Wusi in this race, who has a human head and a dragon body, and is said to be a descendant of Fuxi. Their worship totem is the dragon."

I thought to myself, damn it, Xiaohua's clue is too fucking unreliable.Although Kunlun Mountain is said to be the ancestor of all mountains and the hometown of all gods, the Wusi with the head of a man and the body of a dragon cannot live from the time of Fuxi to the present!Besides, the Lengele Canyon is the famous valley of death. If someone leaves you a piece of property and tells you that you have to find the keys in that corner, I really wonder if that person’s head was caught by the door. Pass.Because if he wanted my life, wouldn't it be fine if he asked someone to cut me twice like yesterday, is it worth making such a big circle?

But I immediately thought, in fact, not necessarily.Maybe the person who left the property wanted that wealth very much, so he used a trick to tell others the location of the property, and waited for others to risk their lives to find the key to unlock the treasure.If he found it, he could use some means to snatch the key back.If that person thinks this way, then he really has ulterior motives!But I also thought that this is impossible, because Guixi was given to me by Poyouping. Could it be that he wants me to help him find the key?

Xiaohua patted me and frowned, "What are you thinking?"

I quickly shook my head and let Xiaohua continue.Xiao Hua said, "The other broken mark is the tail of a fish. I believe that people who have seen this ghost seal must think that this is a carving of a fish. But after I searched a lot of information, I found that the carving here is not a fish, but a fish. A Yujiang."

Yu Jiang?I don't understand at all, what is Yu Jiang?

Xiaohua smiled, pinched my face again, and said, "Every time you show this expression, I think it's very appropriate for Fatty to name you innocent. It's just like when I was a child, silly."

I slapped his hand away, touched the wound on my body, and grinned in pain. "I was stupid when I was young, but you were a demon when you were young! Before I saw you at the New Moon Hotel last time, I always thought you were a woman! When I saw you smiling, I also felt that Fatty gave you the name Transmale. appropriate!"

I heard that there is a unique skill in Beijing opera called changing faces, so when Xiaohua smiled dangerously and narrowed her beautiful eyes at me dangerously, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.Only then did I realize that this guy looked thin and weak but was actually very capable, but he couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly wanted to make amends to him.

But he slightly curled the corners of his mouth again, and said to me, "You've lost your tongue after following the fat man. If you continue like this, I'll have to discipline you for your third uncle." He purposely approached my face as he spoke , almost sticking to my lips, "What do you think, Wu Xie?"

I was sweating, and quickly changed the subject. "I was wrong, I was wrong! Don't be serious with me! Master Hua'er, you have a lot of adults, tell me what is Yu Jiang?"

When Xiao Hua backed away, I felt something was wrong again. Damn it was him who poked me first, how could it be me apologizing to him!

Xiaohua didn't say anything, but I clearly felt that he was holding my hand tightly. "The "Shan Hai Jing" records the image of Yu Jiang with a human face and a bird body. But in fact, Yu Jiang is an ancient mythical beast that spreads diseases. It is said that it is the image of a fish, but its tail is a snake tail. I can't be sure about this, but just The characteristic of spreading the plague is somewhat related to a mythical figure."

"Is it Queen Mother Xi?" I blurted out.We have seen the Queen Mother of the West in "The Biography of Emperor Mu" in the ghost town of Tamtuo. In fact, the image of that gentle woman has evolved in history.The Queen Mother of the West in the earliest legends is a god who looks like a human being, but is in charge of disasters and punishments.But even so, what is the relationship between the Queen Mother of the West and Yu Jiang?I asked Xiao Hua directly about this idea.

Xiaohua also shook her head, "I don't know about that. But according to the information I have, in the Yellow River Longmen area, some people have seen strange fish similar to Yujiang, and some even have seen monsters in the water, which are mermaids. It may be a descendant of the Queen Mother of the West, and it may have developed during the migration."

After a pause, Xiaohua said, "Wu Xie, I'm not sure that I can find Guixi's broken ring in these places. If you say you won't be persistent in looking for Zhang Qiling, just pretend that I never told you about this. But if you are still as persistent as you were a year ago, I will help you organize your team and equipment, and I will personally accompany you there."

Xiaohua spoke very seriously.I looked at his face and faintly felt that if I had to look for things that sounded unrealistic, it seemed to be a drag on him.But I can't say no.Because of Fatty's life, because of Zhang Qiling.

I can't stand by and watch Fatty's life being threatened, that's for sure.But what about Zhang Qiling?I just feel where my heart is, tangled up sadly, leaving me breathless.Poker bottle told me that he was the door that entered instead of me. Should I be as leisurely as before, taking a walk in the sun, drinking tea and napping to live the life of my little boss?

I can not do it.

I didn't answer him directly.Xiaohua looked at me for a while, then suddenly sealed my mouth with one hand, smiled at me somewhat self-deprecatingly, and said, "Wu Xie, I'll accompany you."
