Chapter 24 Chapter 4 Shentou Town, Heisha Formation, Water and Fire Banner

Anzi’s Mazda car was still parked outside the door. When we walked down the steps, another Toyota jeep arrived on the mountain road like lightning. Roaring to the front of the temple gate, it stopped abruptly. This is Wang Jiangnan's car, would he be so kind to pick me up? The first one to jump out of the car was Xiao Keleng, his short hair shone brightly in the night.She waved at me and trotted over, not concealing her concern for me: "Mr. Feng, Sister Su Lun... and I were both worried, so I specially brought friends from the Sharpshooter Society to pick you up, how about it? Si Nothing unpleasant happened here, did it?"

She jumped up and grabbed my sleeve, staring at me close at hand, her bright eyes staring directly at my face, which made me a little nervous for no reason. The second one to come down was Guan Baoling with long hair blowing in the wind, standing by the open car door, smiling at me from a distance.The night of Wooden Bowl Zhoushan is a classic scenery. With the existence of Guan Baoling, this classic will soon become a page that I will never forget in my memory. In fact, there is another person who is intoxicated by her, and that is Wang Jiangnan in the driver's seat. I know that Wang Jiangnan has completely fallen into unrequited love, and from the yearning expression he wants to see but dare not look at, we can definitely deduce his complicated mood.

"Mr. Feng, I haven't seen you all day. Are you okay?" Guan Baoling smiled at me with the corners of her mouth curled up. She stretched out her hand to comb her hair, and her every move was like a model on a catwalk. It came out, and I swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a sigh. "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity...she is the tycoon's woman!" I believe Wang Jiangnan will sigh hopelessly like me. The tycoon has become an absolute peak that cannot be surpassed by Asian men. Few of the women who are included in his account will take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms or empathize with others.He has already condensed all the advantages of Asian men...

"Mr. Feng, shall we retreat back first?" Seeing that I was losing my composure, Xiao Ke coldly reminded me in a low voice. I waved to Guan Baoling as a reply, and hurried into An Zi's car. Xiao Keleng followed into the carriage, closed the door heavily, and ordered Anzi: "Go, go back." She still doesn't trust Guan Baoling, I can see it. The car galloped on the mountain road first, Zhang Baisen got into Wang Jiangnan's car and followed behind at a constant speed. This trip to Fengcut Temple was very fruitful, because with a master like Zhang Baisen as a friend, he would be almost invincible in the world in the future.He has a very high prestige in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and other places, and he can get a "one-hundred-response" support in any place...

With so many things happening, I don't want to rush to talk about it in the car, and I have to avoid the eyes and ears of servants like An Zi. When the car passed Shentou Town, two rough black gauze lanterns had already been hung at the gate. In this season, it was hard to find people who were interested in eating and resting in this dark house. I told Xiao Keran about my first confusion: "On a straight line, the back seat is a white house in the bushes, the middle is the 'Tower of the Dead', and the tip is Shentou Town—you say, this line Where else does the line lead?"

This imaginary straight line has been formed in my mind when I saw the white house in the "Meditation Hall".If it is divided from the world map, this line may be aligned with South Korea's offshore continental shelf. The most intuitive way is to take a globe and connect this invisible line with a red pencil.However, Xiao Keran's imagination is so perfect that he can make a judgment within a few seconds without a globe: "It's the central and southern parts of South Korea, right?" I nodded and she was absolutely right.The straight line extends infinitely to both ends, aiming at the southwest end, which is aimed at the line of Daegu, Busan, and Jeju Island in South Korea.

Looking back from the car window, Shentou Town was pitch black with no lights.The roar of the waves crashing against the rocks at the end of the rocky shore rang in my ears, and I had strong doubts about all the weirdness in Shentou Town, so I blurted out: "Anzi, when you passed by here in the morning, you said that Shentou Town is here. There have been a lot of weird things happening around here, can you talk about it in detail?" The formation method of "Black Demon Formation" and "Water and Fire Banner" is of course extremely powerful. I believe that in the strange incident that An Zi will talk about next, there must be some casualties.

"Yes, Mr. Feng. There are at least three strange things that actually happened, because the police were involved in it, and there are detailed investigation reports in the police station. They are probably tourists who came to Fengcut Temple and parked their cars. On the side of the road outside Shentou Town, the car caught fire and exploded within less than ten minutes. In one case, the empty car was burned, and in the other two cases, a total of seven people were killed and burned to ashes along with the car." As soon as I heard the word "fire", my heart was immediately picked up.

"There are also mysterious self-immolations in Fengcut Temple, such as Tianlong Monk, Bingjian—what? Could it be that this mysterious self-immolation is exactly the same as the Fengshui layout in Shentou Town?" In the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams of China, the south belongs to Bingding fire, the west belongs to Gengxin gold, and the southwest is a place where gold and fire blend. The bright headlights shoot straight forward, piercing through the vast night of Muwan Zhoushan. Twenty meters away from the side, there are many steep cliffs, and the bottom of the cliff is the turbulent waves.

Now I still don’t understand what the people who made the layout at the beginning intended to do such an “an arrow piercing the heart”. The existence of the “Tower of the Dead” is not a matter of ten or twenty years. I would rather believe that this Feng Shui pattern is unintentional. formed in. When Shentouzhen was thrown far behind the car, I leaned my head on the back seat pillow, hoping to rest my mind and be quiet for a few minutes. Too many complicated and weird things happened today, which almost made me overwhelmed, especially the various powers that Master Xianyun and Kamekangawa put on my body. Even now, I still feel the warmth and coldness in my hands Different air currents are constantly surging.

The headlights of the jeep behind occasionally shot in through the rear window, shaking on Anzi's driver's seat. Xiao Keleng turned his head to look back, and suddenly said anxiously: "Mr. Feng, I think Wang Jiangnan and Guan Baoling seem to have reached a certain kind of tacit understanding... If this situation is allowed to develop, I am afraid that it will be difficult. It's too bad to deal with. Wang Jiangnan's status in the Gunslinger Club is very special, what he said, Mr. Sun Long will definitely give face..." She was a little incoherent, and when the car turned left and avoided the lights of the jeep, it began to flow smoothly: "Friends from the Gunslinger Club have always been Mr. Scalpel's most powerful arm in Asia—I believe that if Mr. Sun Long If you propose to acquire Xunfuyuan, even if Mr. Scalpel is present, he will give some face and sell these villas without hesitation, and will not charge any money, do you understand what I mean?" I crossed my arms, pondered for a while, and asked her, "Wang Jiangnan's identity is indeed the descendant of the 'King of Assassination' as reported in overseas newspapers?" With a common sentence, Xiao Keran pondered for more than ten seconds before slowly nodding. Friends who have a little knowledge of the old China's rivers and lakes will understand who the so-called "King of Assassination" refers to.The word "wang" is not the king of the "king", but the person who is called the "king of assassination" was originally surnamed Wang.His existence made the important officials from all walks of life in old China and the North and South tycoons sleepless at night, trembling, for fear that at some point, his "report to kill" would pass through many doors and be placed on the bedside of his bedroom. In the past eighty years, all the killers in the world have regarded him as their idol, and many people will respectfully respect him as the "father" in the industry after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. "After detailed genealogical research, Wang Jiangnan is the authentic grandson of the 'King of Assassination', and he is the only one left after two generations of single pass. The Sharpshooter Club was established by the 'King of Assassination', and later entrusted to the Sun family In other words, the head of the Gunslinger Club is surnamed Wang, not Sun..." Xiao Keleng's voice was very hasty, and I knew it all stemmed from her suspicion of Guan Baoling. "Are you suspecting that Guan Baoling has been instructed or used by someone?" I touched the black and silver ring in my pocket. The monk asked about it, and it was the only regret. A girl who is too beautiful will always make a man lose enough vigilance. Besides, Guan Baoling is not only "beautiful", but also has an extremely fatal attraction to all men. It is reasonable and expected for Wang Jiangnan to be fascinated by her. I took out the ring and played with it by the cold light reflected on the dashboard.According to Xiao Keleng's logic, Guan Baoling will adopt the method of "curve to save the country" to persuade Wang Jiangnan, and then Wang Jiangnan will ask Sun Long to come forward to find me and Su Lun, and buy Xunfu Garden—— "The crux of the problem is not whether the villa will be sold or not, or whether it will be remodeled, but...whether we can discover the secret of the villa in a short period of time, right? Those who covet villas, such as Watanabe Castle, are definitely not for Developing the tourism business of Muwan Zhoushan has other plans. After we get the secret, it is not a problem for the villa to be handed over to others, so - in the next time, I will need a lot of reliable workers who are tight-lipped to carry out detailed inspections of the villa. Extreme investigation..." Before I finished my words, Xiao Keleng was already shaking his head lightly. "What? Is there something wrong with my words?" I smiled, trying to relax my tense muscles and spirit. The car turned another corner and drove onto the road leading directly to Xunfu Garden.After leaving for half a day, when I saw the white main building of the villa, I felt a sense of intimacy spontaneously. In the night, the manor was brightly lit, and all kinds of lights were lit up on the walls, boulevards, and outside the main building. From a distance, it looked like a glorious cruise ship on the vast sea. With the light on, my heart suddenly felt warm, and my mood became surprisingly good, all the haze and depression were swept away. For so many years, I have only one relative, the scalpel, and I only talk on the phone all the year round, so I am an absolute wanderer.Regardless of the classic and elegant Italy or the picturesque Nordic countries, even when traveling around China, I can't find the feeling of home, and I always feel that I am the loneliest person on earth.At this moment, the car driving towards Xunfu Garden seemed to take me home, which made me weep. Ever since the scalpel died in the Earth Cracked Khan Pyramid, my mood has been suppressed a hundred times, and now I finally let go of myself completely and wholeheartedly. Xiao Kelen smiled gratifiedly: "I sent people to add a lot of things to the villa, such as lamps, TVs, computers, kitchen utensils, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines... I hope you will live more comfortably here." An Zi in the driver's seat sighed softly, shrunk his shoulders, and showed an imperceptibly injured expression. I patted the back of Xiao Keleng's hand lightly, full of gratitude: "Thank you...thank you." Excessive inner loneliness made me not very good at expressing gratitude to others, but this unexpected surprise Xiao Keleng gave me really made me very happy. We were sitting side by side in the back seat, Xiao Keleng leaned slightly towards me, smiling silently.There is a faint mist on the window glass, presumably the weather outside is extremely cold, the more this kind of weather, the easier it is for lonely people to communicate and approach quickly.If the car hadn't already driven into the gate of the villa, the two of us might have further confided wishes. On both sides of the boulevard, more than 20 street lamps in the style of classical cherry blossom trees have been newly added, and they are lit up to the entrance of the main building.The door was open, and the lights inside were shining warmly, along with the aroma of roast chicken and red wine. I sniffed hard and exclaimed loudly intoxicated: "It smells so good——" The untimely phone rang desperately at this moment, it was an unfamiliar number from Tokyo, Japan.I got out of the car and silently looked at the rapidly flashing number on the screen, knowing that it was a call from Yelan. "What will he tell me? The big secret? A big secret worth twenty million dollars?" Xiao Kelen jumped out of the car from the other side, and asked with concern: "Do you need help?" Her expression and tone towards me changed, she was extremely friendly and gentle, her eyes sparkled in the shadows where the light could not reach. I raised the phone to her, and shook my head with a smile: "No, a... a phone call from a friend in the rivers and lakes may give us some news." Wang Jiangnan's car also stopped in front of the main building. Through the glass of the driver's cab, his eagle-like eyes were secretly staring at me. I took the phone and walked upstairs quickly. The sofa in the hall has been moved under the window, and a rectangular dining table is placed under the crystal chandelier.Nobuko in an apron curtsies to me, a shy smile on her face. For Anzi and Nobuko, I have always regarded them as "outsiders" subconsciously. No matter how blatantly Anzi has confessed, I hope that everyone will keep a sufficiently cold distance. Those who are not of my race must have a special heart.I am not peaceful and ambiguous enough to accept the Japanese as friends, I would rather just be strangers to them. Turning the corner of the stairs, I connected the phone. Yelan's voice rang out angrily: "Mr. Feng, Mr. Feng... I am Yelan, and I am your friend Yelan..." The background of the phone was slightly noisy, it should be the sound of throwing chips, and the slot machine chatter Creaking electronic music.He was indeed in the casino, and I was 100% sure from the background noise alone. I walked into the living room on the second floor and slowly sat on the sofa. Yelan couldn't hear my reply, so she anxiously raised her voice: "Mr. Feng, I need money, 20 million, 20 million U.S. dollars... I have what you need—" I stretched out my hand to caress the sword hilt at the waist of the bronze statue, caressing the deep and shallow delicate patterns, gradually adjusted my mood to an extremely peaceful level, and then answered leisurely: "What kind of secret do I want to hear? Twenty million dollars, but it is very likely that your secret is not worth twenty million yen, or even a penny. Well, I always thought that the Egyptians were an honest and kind people, but you kept it from me There are many things, I don't know whether I should trust you..." Yelan was in a hurry: "No, no, my secret is definitely worth that price. Believe me, you will definitely benefit greatly from rescuing that girl. I only want 20 million, only 20 million...Of course, you'd better Lend me a few thousand yuan first, because the casino won't let me leave and force me to work part-time to pay back the debt..." His voice was crying, and he was sobbing into the phone like a woman. Japanese casinos are all under the control of underworld forces. It is common for gamblers who fail to pay back their debts to be severely beaten, or to have their hands and feet broken, and their dead bodies lying on the streets.To be honest, a professional engineer like Yelan shouldn't try his luck in the casino, let alone mess with gangsters. The "Resurrection Sand" that Long and Yelan valued so much didn't have any effect on Tengjia, otherwise, she wouldn't still be lying in the "Purple Washing Hall" of Master Shenbi. Should I take Yelan's word for it?For me, I don't care about 20 million dollars. I hope to find the best shortcut to solve the problem amidst the increasingly complicated entanglement of questions. "Mr. Feng, save me, I promise this secret can wake people up! I promise... I can't stay here anymore, the security guards here are simply not human..." I can imagine how an Egyptian would be treated unfairly in Japan, especially after he owed a large amount of gambling money.If I don't help him, in a few days, there will be another dead body of a foreigner on the streets of Tokyo. I wrote down the address and phone number of the casino called "Crown Plaza", and Yelan begged repeatedly, tearfully closing the line. "A secret? 'Resurrection sand' plus this secret, can really make Fujika wake up?" I wasn't sure, I stood up and walked to the window, watching Guan Baoling get out of the car slowly and stop on the steps in front of the door .Her clothes have been changed, but they are the same material and style of fox fur and long skirt.Her skin is so white, it is most suitable to be set off by black clothes, and it can be seen that it has been carefully taken care of by the image designer. Wang Jiangnan stood on the other side of the car, with his hands behind his back, his head held high, and his momentum was calm. I shrugged my shoulders and sneered: "Compared to the tycoon, Wang Jiangnan is just an unknown pawn. Can he really get Guan Baoling's favor? That's enough!" A hint of jealousy arose in my heart for no reason. I don't know if I was jealous of Wang Jiangnan or the tycoon. Ye Hongsheng. Guan Baoling raised her head and looked upstairs, facing the window in front of me.Her hair was so beautiful when it fell back, it took my breath away.I looked around the room and really wanted to find a camera to capture her pose and keep it forever. In the Asian entertainment market, four sets of Guan Baoling's personal photo albums have been released, and they have been widely circulated among the market, but the various poses posed in the studio, compared with the real person she is at the moment, are just some cold and rigid pictures , 10,000 sheets are no match for the moment in front of you. Someone knocked lightly on the railing at the top of the stairs, and I turned around in embarrassment, knowing it was Xiao Keleng without even looking. "Mr. Feng, the study on the second floor has not been cleaned up and changed. If you really need to search the villa thoroughly, my suggestion is to start here first." She walked to the door of the study and turned on the headlights inside. It was only then that I was in the mood to take into account that the lighting upstairs had been replaced with brighter lights, and a huge pot of Brazilian wood with fat leaves was added to the corner of the living room, which was more than two meters high. The scene of the Japanese ninja attacking was as far away as the memory of the next year, Xiao Keleng definitely has a way to make everything according to my wishes.I only left for an afternoon, and she completely changed the appearance of the villa. "Mr. Feng, do you have a better explanation for that black and silver ring?" She leaned against the doorframe of the study, crossed her arms, her eyes were slightly hazy.I found that only ten minutes apart, she had retouched her makeup, powdered her face, and carefully painted her lips.If it's all for me, what should I do— I wiped my face, put aside my wild thoughts about Guan Baoling for the time being, and took out the ring: "Xiao Xiao, do you still remember the American girl Reisha I met at the Sapporo airport? She was wearing such a ring. It is exactly the same. However, you and I both know that the black and silver ring is a complete handmade product, even if it is made under a magnifying glass, it cannot produce exactly the same thing, let alone this embedded amber stone?" She frowned vigorously: "Really? You mean, the ring belongs to the American girl Reisha? If only I had told me earlier——" With her memory, she must have remembered Reisha's appearance immediately coming. I smiled wryly: "Reishka's destination is Fengcut Temple. I thought I could meet her there, but too many things happened today. I believe Guan Baoling has nothing to do with the black magic in Guatemala. Who is the tycoon? You have already suffered from black witchcraft, how can you still have a girl related to black witchcraft by your side?" Under the strong light, the ring showed every detail, and the ring of the finger was extremely smooth, presenting an elegant and beautiful arc.It is conceivable how much effort was spent by the original manufacturer to create it with primitive forging tools. To cast such a beautiful handicraft with the most evil curse on earth, perhaps only wizards in Guatemala are willing to do this kind of ugly thing of burning zithers and boiling cranes. I handed the note with the address and phone number to Xiao Keleng: "Xiao Xiao, an ordinary friend has a problem at the Crowne Plaza Casino in Tokyo. I hope you can help bring him back here. The cost is a matter of Charge it to my account." I thought it was a trivial matter, but Xiao Ke listened coldly to the word "Crown Holidays" and let out a wry smile: "Oh? Your friend is really good at picking places. That is the site of the Yamaguchi-gumi. This chain casino is theirs. One of the most profitable channels, it may not be convenient for me to show up." She showed her suspicious nature again, flicking the note lightly with her fingers, and fell silent.Compared with Su Lun, although she is younger, she is equally calm and mature in doing things, not inferior to Su Lun. "At this juncture, your friend suddenly appeared, could it be... You know, Watanabe Castle has a deep Yakuza background, and is one of the three major shareholders of Crowne Plaza Casino..." I don't want to embarrass Xiao Keleng, it's really not possible, I can go to Tokyo by myself, anyway, Japan's expressway network is very advanced and extends in all directions.If it's just a matter of money, I don't think Yelan's troubles have anything to do with the underworld forces coveting Xunfuyuan Villa. Xiao Ke bit his lip coldly, put away the note noncommittally, and sat down with a sigh. This is a rare peace in recent days. Listening to the sound of someone downstairs setting tableware, wine glasses, and knives and forks, I feel that this empty villa is gradually feeling like home.If I were its male host, which girl in my life would I prefer to be its hostess?
