Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

The sky was already turning pale, and everyone was afraid that the wolves would gather again, so they stopped resting, found some water to wash off the blood on their bodies, changed into clean clothes casually, picked up important things to take with them, and brought the rest with the tent. They set it on fire, got up and walked back. The next day, Uncle Wu received a call and arranged for us to go back to Beijing. The journey was uneventful, so to make a long story short.After returning to Beijing a few days later, everyone ignored the rest and went directly to the mansion of the old man. The old man had received the news early and was waiting at home. When he saw that Long Si was seriously injured, he hurriedly arranged for medical treatment, and ordered someone to go to the hospital immediately. Design a fine iron hand, so that it can be equipped with Dragon Four in the future.Brother Li explained the whole process in detail. When it came to Zhao Erbao's tragic death and Wu Kui's rebellion, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

Finally, when it comes to several people being besieged by wolves, when I planned to kill the wolf king, the old man froze for a while. Just when I thought that the old man was also shocked by such a weird thing, the old man froze for a while and said: I thought this There won't be so many dangerous trips. I didn't expect that you and the others almost couldn't come back. Fortunately, the heavens bless me, otherwise the old man will never be able to absolve himself of the blame.Two days ago, Master Zhang Tianshi of Maoshan wrote to Xiaoqi, saying that there were many strange things happening near Maoshan recently, and wanted to ask Xiaoqi to go and see what was going on. Thinking of how many of you have encountered strange dangers, I think you should rest for a few days before talking about it!

During the conversation, it was getting dark, and the few of us ate dinner at the old man's house. During the dinner, Tweety took good care of me and kept bringing me vegetables. The old man saw it and knew it well. straight smile. After dinner, the few of us said goodbye and went home. The old man gave each of us 100,000 yuan as a commission. I didn't want to take it at first, but when I thought of Mrs. Zhao Erbao, I took it again. Anyway, the old man has a lot of money.Fatty didn't go home either, so he went to my house to sleep with Brother Li for one night, and Brother Li left the next day, saying that he would go home and have a look, and come back when there is news from the old man.Fatty and I sent Brother Li away, and found Zhao Erbao's house. Sure enough, I found 50,000 yuan in Zhao Erbao's bedside cabinet. Tens of thousands of yuan is enough for Mrs. Zhao Erbao to provide for the elderly.

Fatty accompanied me to meet Cui'er Mountain to eat and drink for a few days, and the life was very uncomfortable.I forgot about the treasure map, and it was only when the old man called for us that I remembered it again. When we arrived at the old man's house, the auntie at the gate already recognized me, and probably knew that I had a close relationship with Tweety, so she led us directly to the old man's study.I saw that the old man was facing a piece of jade wall on the desk and thinking hard. When Tweety saw us coming, she hurried over and smiled at me. I smiled back, and everything was kept silent.

When the old man saw us coming, he scratched his hair and said, "It's strange, Xiaoqi, take a look. Originally, the four of them are put together, but it seems that a map is missing a piece. It stands to reason that after the jade scorpions are put together, they should be one piece." A complete map is right, but when it is put together, it doesn't look like a map no matter how you look at it.I leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, the jade scorpion was inlaid in the middle, it looked awkward no matter how you looked at it, it completely messed up the lines of the original four pieces together, some of the lines can be matched, most of the lines It just doesn't match up.

I don't quite know what's going on, I didn't see a clue after looking for a long time, my heart gradually became irritable, and I raised my head and said: "Old man, if you really can't find it, forget it. Anyway, you are always not short of money, so why bother to spend it?" This thought.The old man also saw that my heart was not here, and sighed: You are right, but seeing this treasure map but not being able to reveal the secrets in it, I feel really uncomfortable. My old man is not as open as you young people.I saw that I couldn't see any clues, so I said goodbye and went home.

I just came back downstairs to my house with Fatty, (Fatty is a lazy pig, he stays in my house all day long, his own home is useless) but I saw a little Taoist walking around there, I just thought that was invited by that house Those who practice things to surpass their ancestors did not ask.Just as he was about to go upstairs, someone behind him suddenly shouted: Are you the benefactor of jade?I hurriedly turned my head to look, and it was the little Taoist priest with delicate features standing behind me, looking at me with hope.I nodded and said: Yes, what's the matter?Seeing that he found the right person, the little Taoist hurriedly said: "I have been waiting here for a long time. I am a disciple of Tianshi Zhang in Maoshan. The master asked me to send a letter to the benefactor. He also said that the matter is very important, and I must hand it over in person." To the jade benefactor.After finishing speaking, hand over a letter.

I took a look, and it was indeed written for me. A few days ago, I heard the old man say that Zhang Tianshi seemed to be looking for me for something, but I was still secretly surprised. Although when I was young, Zhang Tianshi had a little friendship with my old man and walked around Several times, but how does he know that I am in Beijing now?Besides, I never believed in what he said, so what can I do?Could it be that the old man said that I am rich and wants me to donate some to repair those ruined temples!Without thinking about it, I asked the little master to go home with me, and let the fat man greet him. I took the letter by myself and read it carefully.

I saw only four words on the kraft paper envelope: Yu Qi Qin Qi.I opened the envelope and took out the letter, only to find that the letter was very short, and it said: The benefactor of Yuqi is above, and Zhang Tianhong, the 63rd generation heir of Pindao Maoshan, is the head.Pindao and your father have been in contact for more than 20 years. They have a deep friendship. Recently, Pindao encountered a difficult incident. Once showed great power in his hometown and bravely eradicated millennium ground squirrels, the benefactor of Wanwangyu immediately went to Maoshan to help, saving innocent people from the fire and water.It was signed by Zhang Tianhong, the 63rd generation descendant of Maoshan, dated XX, XX, and it turned out to be a distress letter.There is also a note inside the envelope, on which there are only a few words "see you Qier, the letter will arrive as soon as possible". God is so sad, this Zhang Tianshi is so capable, I heard it when I was a child, he can't do anything, what do you want me to do!But complaining is complaining, and the old man dared not listen to what he said, so he said to the little Taoist: You go back first, I will go in two days.Seeing that I agreed, the little Taoist left happily.

The fat man hurriedly asked me what was the matter, so I read the letter again, and the fat man said, "Just go, I will accompany you. With my brave and invincible Wang Tianbao, and you, Seventh Brother, I don't believe there is anything else." Brothers can't get it right!After all, he was complacent there.I waved my hands and slapped him and said: You know what a fart, I heard that old bastard is very capable, exorcising ghosts and catching monsters, asking gods to slay demons, proficient in all kinds of abilities, he can't handle them, let's go to die!But the old man has already spoken, and it won't work if we don't go. In this way, we can delay it for a few days if we can. If it doesn't work, we will go back.

Fatty naturally had no objection, we had a good night's sleep, got up and dressed to go to the street for dinner, just as we walked to the door, a person walked towards us, it was the elder brother Yu Wenqiang.When I saw my elder brother, I was very happy. Although I knew that my elder brother must have come because of the matter in the letter, I still hugged my elder brother, laughed and danced.The eldest brother was also very happy, and after a while he said, "Don't make trouble, Xiao Qi. The old man told you to go back quickly. He told you to do something important. He was afraid that you would play tricks and not go back. No, let me take you back in person." Detained back.As soon as I saw my elder brother, I came in person, and I knew that the matter of Maoshan was not a big deal, but the matter has come to this point, I can’t think about it, so I had to say: "Okay, I was planning to go back tomorrow, no, I am going out for dinner." Well, brother, you are here. The fat man also echoed repeatedly, but I have been slippery since I was a child, and my elder brother knew me very well, so he didn't point it out.The three of us went out for dinner, and after dinner, we went home to pack our luggage and prepared to go home the next day to find out what happened to the old man, and see what happened in Maoshan. Even the famous Zhang Tianshi couldn't clean it up.I called Tweety again to tell Tweety that I was going home and that Tweety would follow me too, but I thought that this time things might be dangerous, so I lied that I was going home to see my parents and would come in a few days If you want to go back with me, then my family will treat you as their daughter-in-law.Tweety was thin-skinned after all, and although she must be happy in her heart, she still couldn't keep her face, so she agreed not to go. The next day, the three of them got on the train together, and arrived at my hometown three days later. The fat man went home to see his parents first, and I also rushed home.When I got home, my family members were very happy to meet each other. My brothers and sisters-in-law asked me about this and that. sensible.Just when he was happy, the old man came out from the back room, and when he saw me, he said: "Xiao Qi, come with me."I had no choice but to play a few funny faces with my sisters-in-law, and followed the old man. The sisters-in-law and my mother behind me were still chirping and praising me for being filial and sensible, and I felt proud for a while. The old man took me to the back room and told the second brother: No one is allowed to come in without me.My family rules are very strict, what the old man says is an imperial decree at home, except for my mother who dares to mumble a few words, no one else dares to disobey, the second elder brother listened to the old man's order, and the big man who is about 1.8 meters has to stand obediently at the door and guard the door.When I passed by the second brother, I made a funny face at the second brother. The second brother spoiled me since he was a child, slapped my butt and smiled and said: "Come in, the old man has been waiting for you for a few days." The old man has been a vegetarian and recited Buddhism in recent years, so the back room is the old man's Buddhist hall, and generally no one comes.As soon as the old man entered the room, he took out a small box from a hidden compartment at the back of the incense hall, handed it to me and said: "Open it and have a look, do you know what it is?"I'm full of suspicion, this old man doesn't have any heirlooms, does he?Otherwise why so mysterious?I took the box. I don't know if the box is the jewelry box used by the sister-in-law to buy gold and silver necklaces when she passed the door. It is two fingers wide and more than ten centimeters long. It is nothing special. I opened it, and there was a black thing about seven or eight centimeters long, with a sharp front end and a flat back as if cut by a knife, and nothing else.I asked: Father, what is this?The old man's face changed and he said: You don't know him?Seeing the old man's serious face, I knew it was not a trivial matter, so I hurriedly shook my head. The old man said: "This is what Zhang Tianshi sent from Maoshan ten days ago. He said that a strange thing happened near Maoshan recently. Many animals disappeared for no reason. Recently, two pilgrims disappeared for no reason, causing people to panic.Zhang Tianshi checked the mountain himself, but was attacked by the thousand-year-old corpse king in a cave. Although Zhang Tianshi cut off a nail of this thing, he was hit hard by that thing on the chest and has been bedridden until now. Ask me for help, I wanted to let your second brother go, but your second brother is too straightforward, I'm afraid there will be a mistake, among the seven of you brothers, you are the one with the most ghost ideas, I think it's best for you to go and see If you can control it, reach out to control it. If you can't control it, I believe you will not be brave.My face blushed, I know my son is like my father, the old man knows me too well, I will never do things that are at a disadvantage, the old man has said so, it seems that Maoshan must go this time, just go, I really don’t believe it Nothing can cure me! The old man put the tooth in place and turned around, "Qi'er, I also know that this trip is extremely dangerous, but the celestial master sent a letter saying that if this thing is not removed, the innocent villagers around will suffer disaster. After thinking about it, I think we You can't disregard the life and death of the people for your own selfishness, that's why I sent your elder brother to let you come back. You will leave for Maoshan tomorrow, and do your best when the time comes!I also know that this matter is serious, even Zhang Tianshi was seriously injured, although I am very selfish, but I can't bear to see innocent people suffer, so I agreed immediately. Seeing that I agreed, the old man waved my hand to make me step back and read scriptures and Buddha by himself.When I went out of the room, I saw my second brother was still standing there, so I greeted my second brother and walked to the front room together, and got together with everyone, it was so lively.In the evening, there was wine and food at home, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest after enjoying themselves. Early the next morning, I bid farewell to my parents and family, took a few changes of clothes with me, and went to the fat man’s house to call out the fat man. The two ran to the town, and then transferred to the county seat. They didn’t see Li for a few days. Brother, I’m really panicking, so I decided to go to Li Ge to play first. It just so happens that Li Ge is well-informed and has poured so many fights. He must have seen zombies before, and maybe he can help Get an idea or something.
