Chapter 9 Chapter IX The Five Principles of Southern Sichuan

Wu Zhen closed his eyes, his heart was cold, and he only thought that this time he would not escape this disaster. Suddenly, Tie Jiaoqi roared wildly, as if he had been bitten by something, and ran out of the cave with thumping footsteps.In a moment, the roar disappeared. Wu Zhen opened his eyes and saw, with a whoosh, a black thing ran in like lightning. A pair of green eyes looked at Wu Zhen, and there was blood on his mouth.It was the corpse mastiff! It turned out that the corpse mastiff saved his life. Wu Zhen touched the corpse mastiff's head gratefully.Only the old man Dongkoulian's anxious voice said: "Wu Zhen, come out soon, your wife is about to give birth."

Wu Zhen was startled, "Ouch", hurriedly climbed out of the cave, and rushed to the neighbor's house with Old Man Lian.As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard a loud cry of a baby coming from the room.The neighbor's sister-in-law A Si came out of the house with a smile, and said to Old Man Lian, "Congratulations to you! A boy was born." The old man Lian said with a smile: "TOEFL, TOEFL." Wu Zhenxin was in full bloom, and hurried into the back room, only to see Liancheng's face pale as paper, holding a baby tightly in his arms. The baby was already wrapped in swaddling clothes, his eyes were tightly closed, and his little face was flushed from crying.

It turned out that Liancheng was frightened and frightened, and the fetus in her womb came to the world ahead of schedule. Wu Zhen walked up to him and hugged Liancheng, tears streaming down his face.Even the old man's eyes were slightly red. Suddenly there was a shout from a distance: "Wu Laosi, Wu Laosi, everyone sees you coming, where are you? Come out soon." The voice was very loud. Wu Zhen was overjoyed, and said: "This time it's my brothers who came." Turning around, he said to Mrs. Ah Si: "Please take care of Liancheng, I'll come as soon as I go." Turning around, he walked out the door with Old Man Lian.

I saw four horsemen coming from a distance, and the four sat upright immediately.The leader is about forty years old, thin and dark, not amazing, except for a pair of black eyes that shine.The second person is of medium build, with a face like loess, and his hands are clasped in his sleeves.The third person was slightly taller, with lowered eyebrows and a bitter face.The fourth person has a short stature, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a short beard under his nose that keeps shaking. Seeing Wu Zhen, the dwarf cheered, jumped off his horse, hugged Wu Zhen and said, "Father Ge, fourth brother, we all miss you to death."

The other three also jumped off their horses with smiles on their faces. Wu Zhen's eyes were slightly red, and he said: "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fifth Brother, I miss you too." Wu Zhen recommended to Old Man Lian one by one.The one who is dark and thin, with shining eyes is the eldest brother Tang Zhen, the one with hands folded in his sleeves is the second eldest Yan Tieshan, the one with drooping eyebrows and a sad face is the third eldest Cui Zheng, the short The short and fat one is the old five king Baitong. Even the old man didn't know that these five people were called the Southern Sichuan Wuyi in central Sichuan, but the locals called them the Southern Sichuan Five Rats.These five people make a living by robbing tombs all the year round. The boss of Tangzhen, nicknamed "Ghost Eye", is good at looking at tombs, searching for dragons, and searching for tombs.The second son, Yan Tieshan, was nicknamed "Yan Tieshan" because he surpassed a whirlwind shovel specially used for tomb robbers with both hands.The third son, Cui Zheng, grew up in Miaojiang, and he has practiced Gu skills. He is good at conjuring ghosts and souls. Those who offend him often die inexplicably, and they are nicknamed "Desperation Talisman".The old fifth king, Baitong, was born with supernatural powers, so he was known as the king dwarf tiger.This Wu Zhen is ranked fourth because he has read a lot and has rich experience in the world, so he was nicknamed "Xiu Cai".

The four people saluted one by one, even the old man cupped his hands and said: "The mountain village is simple, there is nothing to entertain you, please forgive me." Tang Zhen smiled and said, "The old man has seen someone else." Wu Zhen smiled and said: "Three brothers, I have a good news for you. Brothers are not talented, and I have added a nephew to all brothers." That Wang Xiaohu thumped Wu Zhen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ge Laozi, it's really good. I haven't seen you for a year, and I have a son." Wu Zhen smiled and said: "Ashamed, ashamed. Brothers, next door is my father-in-law's house. Let's go there to talk first. Your younger siblings are not feeling well, so I will visit my brothers another day."

Several people walked to the next door together, and even the old man hurriedly fetched water and served tea while preparing wine and rice. In a short time, a table of meals has been prepared, nothing more than some rural specialties such as hare meat and dried vegetables.The old man Lian said "Excuse me", and since he went next door to take care of Liancheng, the rest of the Chuannan Wuyi and others were eating and chatting. Wu Zhendao: "Brothers, I haven't seen you for more than a year. Is there a big fight?" Tang Zhen said: "Don't mention it, it's hard to say. Since you left, a few of us have been thinking about where to find a big bucket, pour it once, if the harvest is good, everyone will get a share, and we will quit from now on. The second brother inquired When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, the Empress Dowager took the current emperor Guangxu out of Deshengmen and fled westward. Beijing was in chaos. We discussed it, and maybe this was a good opportunity to make a fortune.

"No, everyone packs up and packs up. Who knows, before we even arrived in Beijing, we met a group of foreign devils, and those foreign devils shot immediately. The foreign guns of the foreign devils are really fucking powerful. We saw that the situation was not good, He ran away in a hurry and hid in a small mountain village. Half a month ago, Lao Wu went to the city to inquire about the news, and happened to see that wolf smoke, which is called no coincidence. When we came back and told us, we all thought that the wolf smoke must be You let it go, maybe you have trouble here, so everyone rushed over immediately. These horses were stolen from a small town on the roadside. We had already arrived by foot, but we met a few on the road The Taoist who moved the mountain, guarded the side of the road and did not allow them to pass through, and fought with them, so it was delayed."

Wu Zhendao: "The Taoists who moved the mountain are probably the disciples and grandchildren of the ancestor who moved the mountain, and they came to look for me." Tang Zhen frowned, and said, "What's going on?" Wu Zhendao: "It's a long story." So he told how he was ordered by his master to go undercover under the ancestor of Qianshan, how he was spotted by Luo Yuhu, the fifth disciple of the ancestor of Qianshan, how he escaped from the Qianshan sect, and how he came to this place. How about the small mountain village and the old man Lian digging the water cellar and digging out the town's corpse tower and so on.

Tang Zhen said: "What's the matter with the corpse tower?" The other three people also listened attentively. Wu Zhen told everyone about the corpse tower town. Wang Xiaohu stood up with a "chuckle" and said: "Boss, there must be a big fight under the corpse tower, what are we waiting for? Let's dig now." Get up and go out. Tang Zhen stretched out his hand to stop Wang Xiaohu, and said, "Old man, what's the hurry, there will be time to dig again tomorrow, and this corpse tower will not slip away with long legs." Wang Xiaohu seemed to be very afraid of this boss, sat down, but was not reconciled in his heart, muttering in his mouth: "Why not, maybe he ran away."

Tang Zhen ignored him, and said: "Everyone, after drinking and eating today, go to bed early, and tomorrow let's see what mystery is hidden in the town's corpse tower."
