Chapter 30: The Village of Xizi
Back to the mainland, the first thing Zhang Guozhong did was to take out the silk from the porcelain vase in Zhao Le's stomach, and head into Old Liu Tou's house, at first, Zhang Guozhong had a general impression of this Old Liu Tou, and didn't want him to know that there was still such a thing, but it seems that this senior brother is still quite good, and it doesn't matter if the two are now grasshoppers tethered by a single thread.
"Senior brother ah, you shouldn't have kept this from me..." old Liu Tou used a magnifying glass to carefully look at the wizards on the silk, and was quite dissatisfied that Zhang Guozhong had lied and cheated himself previously.
"I was just afraid that you would be worried... "Zhang Guozhong did not know what to say at the moment and hurriedly digressed in the name of studying the map.
After overlapping, Zhang Guozhong strangely realized that the mountain figure on the front side of Zhao Le's version of the map was exactly the same as the mountains on that ancient Jin Dynasty map, but it happened to be reversed, just like looking in a mirror. When the front side of the silk was overlaid on the ancient map of the Jin Dynasty, the mountains of the two maps surprisingly overlapped perfectly.
"Could it be a topo?" Old Liu Tou wondered.
At this moment, Zhang Guozhong turned on the halogen lamp on Old Liu Tou's desk, squatted down and looked at the map with backlight. At this moment the front and back lines of the Jin Dynasty map were visible.
"Two roads? What exactly does this mean?"
"Senior brother, do you think that it could be one way in and one way out?"
Attached to Qin Ge's silk map, he realized that the black dots on the map overlapped perfectly with the ten forks on the back of Zhao Le's silk map.
"It seems to be, it seems that Qin Ge's diagram is completely correct for the location of the Nine Platforms."
"Senior brother, there's something I have to tell you, that piece of jade, if it's really a Zhentai, those nine platforms aren't simple."
"What?"
"Judging from that jade swan, the one that is suppressing these nine stations is not some kind of baneful object, but an evil one. If Wang Zhongjian had bought a bogeyman home, the house would never be haunted, ghosts can't even hide from those things. According to the description of that prince ho, his home is not only haunted, but the jade is also very strange ......." Old Liu head frowned, "Master once told me, there is a wipe things don't touch, you say we brother and sister this time is not considered to be in trouble?"
Zhang Guozhong heart at the moment also has no plan, because this "burin dragon array" of the town platform is not fixed, let's say, if the Ma Zhenren Feng that the Qing Dynasty scholar's dead jade in the position of the town platform to the spirit of the mountains and rivers of the Chongyun, then move the town platform of the people after all, the Qing Dynasty scholar's way, because the "burin dragon array" of each town platform is the same. Because "burin dragon formation" of each town platform will be located in the mountains on the extremely dark place, in this environment, even if it is dead jade, it is likely to trap those evil spirits. However, these town platforms must also have a mysterious mechanism, so that when this evil thing is placed on it peacefully, once it is moved, it will trigger the evil path.
"Senior brother don't scare me, the grave robber who stole out that piece of jade, isn't he also fine?"
"Who did you listen to say that the one who stole the jade must be a grave robber?" Old Liu Tou lit up his cigarette, "Who said that he was still fine after stealing the jade?"
Zhang Guozhong is now speechless, if the jade thief is also a capable person, or ten people went in to steal only one came out, who knows?
After using the "Golden Calf Star" to smash the parents' opposition, Zhang Guozhong resigned from the school, according to the agreed time, and old Liu head on time to Shaanxi Nanzheng, according to Qin Ge's account, this is the closest place to the treasure cave.
Nanzheng was a small remote county at that time, located in the hinterland of the Daba Mountain, the transportation was very troublesome, only one bus from Xi'an to Nanzheng in three days.
At the moment, in Nanzheng county, Qin Ge has already arrived first, Gu had a person holding a sign, waiting at the bus station every day.
Qin Ge was puzzled by Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou's almost park-walking light attire.
"The two of you are not here to travel, right?"
"Don't you come on strong, we've got what we should bring. What's that scan of yours, what did it scan out?" Old Liu Tou said.
"Some ancient secret texts. I asked America's best cryptographer to look at it, and he said he'd never seen this kind of symbol before."
This sentence said Old Liu Tou's psyche thumped, "Fear of what will come..." muttered Old Liu Tou, receiving two blurry photocopied photos, having seen the first one, Old Liu Tou was completely dead in the water, wasting text, no suspense.
The second chapter, however, was completely impossible to tell what it was. The so-called international cutting-edge technology of that era was just that, the quality of the imaging could not be compared to similar equipment nowadays.
"It seems to be a map as well." Zhang Guozhong held the photo, "It also looks like an ancient seal mark in seal script..."
"I don't think that has anything to do with our plan this time." Qin Ge was a little impatient. In his opinion, Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou were still worrying about the Wang Family's commission, but of course, he didn't realize the huge threat hidden in these so-called waste texts.
"Please follow me." Qin Ge got up and led Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou to the bed, taking out a huge-sized leather case from underneath the bunk.
Opening the suitcase, Old Liu Tou and Zhang Guozhong were completely dumbfounded. In addition to strange shaped flashlights, shovels and headlamps, there are miniature cameras, pistols and detonators, I do not know how this Qin Ge over the port.
"I say Master Qin, you are not an American secret agent, right? If you steal state secrets in the name of looking for ancient jade, we can't afford this crime." Old Liu Tou was falsely surprised.
"Hahaha..." Qin Ge's laugh was simply rarer than Halley's Comet, "This is the equipment we'll use this time, I wonder what you two have brought with you?"
Old Liu Tou took out a compass, a few bundles of incense, a dozen of yellow paper, a small yellow flag painted in a messy way from his broken bag, and Zhang Guozhong took out the ancient blade "Dragon Scale" from his backpack, and set it on the table.
Qin Ge's eyes were attracted to this dagger at the first time, took off the cowhide cover, holding the dagger and waved it around the room a few times. As the saying goes, the insiders look at the doorway, just by these few strokes, Zhang Guozhong and Old Liu Tou's psyche were each secretly relieved that this Qin Ge turned out to be a practiced man as well, and initially the two of them were worried that bringing such an old pedant into the mountains would become a liability.
"Dragon Scale...!" Qin Ge's grimness could no longer cover the excitement in his heart.
"Master Qin has good eyesight." Old Liu Tou took the dagger in one hand. "It's the Dragon Scale."
After a day of rest and recuperation, the three of them brought all their guys with them, Qin Ge held the pistol, Old Liu Tou held the folding shovel, and the Dragon Scale dagger was wrapped around Zhang Guozhong's pants tube. Qin Ge carried his own traveling bag with a sleeping bag, while Zhang Guozhong was responsible for taking dry food, a few people hired a big car and headed for Yuanba.
At that time, Yuanba although hung with the name of the town, but at best only the size of the village, I do not know which so-called shortcut to drive the car, accurate basically does not count the road, and now the cross-country track has a spell, although Zhang Guozhong in the countryside is used to sitting in the big car, but this day's mountain road down, or upside down straight stomach, the old Liu Tou and Qin Ge, although the body bones are still pretty good, but the face is also green.
This night, the three came to a mountain village, listening to the car said, this village called mat village, the reason for this name, not because the village produced mats, but because the village is too poor, even in winter, there is no quilt, the kang can only lay a mat.
The mayor of the village is also surnamed Li, very enthusiastic, the best things out of the house, eggs, stewed chicken, rabbit stew (nothing more than that). Although there is not much seasoning, but this kind of pure natural pollution-free things are also considered delicious. At night, several people slept at Village Chief Li's house.
Li village head's enthusiasm, let Zhang Guozhong can not help but think of his first time to the Li village scene, two village head both surnamed Li, but also so enthusiastic, which makes Zhang Guozhong in front of the Li village head of the sky and the north and south of the vernacular up. And when Zhang Guozhong talked about his own experience in Li Village back then, this Li Village Chief's eyes glazed over.
"I say Comrade Zhang, you say you can cure ghost swindlers? (The bumpers in the Beijing-Tianjin area that became Ghost Frauds in the area)"
"Uh, what?" Zhang Guozhong was also stunned.
"Alas Comrade Zhang ah great savior ah, my grandson has been haunted by the Ghost Swindler for several years, you must help!" Said Li village chief to kneel down.
This time Zhang Guozhong also confused, but how to run into the village chief surnamed Li, all have such a show ah? "Don't, Uncle Li, I'll definitely help you!"
These mountain people are very simple, want to eat there, want money no, so Li village head see Zhang Guozhong not let himself kneel, immediately into the house, lifted the mattress (mat village is the old society called, after the reform and opening up, although still poor, but after all, do not need to sleep all year round mat), all the money out, a total of more than a dozen of the large solidarity, I think that this is the village head of the Li's all the family belongings.
"Comrade Zhang, you must take it!" It seems that although this Li Village Chief has not seen any rain after a long drought, he has at least seen a cloudy day.
"Village Chief Li, don't be in a hurry, I will definitely help you if you take back the money."
In fact, Zhang Guozhong and old Liu head heart on this matter is also no bottom, because according to Li Village Chief's statement, his grandson haunted swindler has been a number of years, than when Li Daming body that time is longer, this kind of thing the longer, the patient's body will be weaker, and the more bad to deal with, not good will also be hurt the patient or even harmful to its death, but the face of such a simple old man, Zhang Guozhong and what can say?
The three of them, led by Village Chief Li, walked a few steps up the mountain and came to a broken house, the yard's fence was built with stones, the height of which basically couldn't even prevent geese.
"Huiqin! Come out! I'm bringing someone to see Er Zhuang!"
Li village head's grandson is called Li Erzhuang, although the ghost fraud has been haunted for several years, but in this kind of wild mountain place, most of the witches and goddesses are cheating, even if there are some real skills, but also open the sky, which is basically unaffordable for the economic conditions of the Xizi village, so in the village head's grandson's accident in the past few years, only once to ask the Mr., and the result is to let the offending Li Erhuang to the brute force of the bull! After directly lifting up and throwing on the ground, he did not ask anyone to see him again.
When he arrived at the house, Li Erzhuang was not sick, and his symptoms seemed to be much lighter than Li Daming's, but his bone thinness was the same.
Seeing Li Erzhuang, Old Liu Tou's face immediately turned green, and secretly tugged on Zhang Guozhong's sleeve, "Senior brother, be more careful, this kid is not quite right, eighty percent is not bumping into the customer...."
