Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Random Graves, A Hundred Years of Secret Remains

Under the moonlight, the blue hair shone with a frightening blue light, and anyone with a little common sense would know that the black hair was poisoned.Jinshun carefully put a few blue silks in a box, checked them repeatedly and hid them in his waist.Afterwards, Jinshun took out another gun, which was a revolver. Although Jinshun had never used it before, he knew in his heart how powerful it was.He hid the gun around his ankle.After all this was over, Jin Shun looked at the time, it was already midnight, he clenched his fist lightly, took the jug on the table and drank the wine inside. He wants to meet someone tonight, a mysterious figure who has been hiding in the dark.Many years ago, Jin Shun was expelled from the sect by his master Jin, who cut off his fingers for no reward because of his participation in the robbery of treasures in Dongling. In the following year, Jin embarked on a road of no return by the way—grave robbery.He has mastered the unique skills of the gold-type worm master, and naturally knows the secret passage mechanism in the tomb very well, so tomb robbery is really easy for him, but most of the tombs that Jinshun robbed did not have any rare antiques, and occasionally there were two valuables If you have a lot of things, you will pawn them off, and if you have a little money, you will linger in the big and small gambling houses or fireworks places in the capital.

By chance, Jinshun found that person. Jinshun never forgot that night. Jinshun carried his luck back home that night.Just lighting up the lamp, Jinshun touched his pockets, only the last few dollars were left, if he continued to gamble, he might lose all his prostitution money tonight.Thinking of this, he left the gambling table resentfully, and after going to the latrine, he turned to Bada Hutong, but he bumped into a person wearing a black cloak just as he entered the latrine. Jin Shun was originally a dwarf, short in stature, but the man was tall and burly, this collision unexpectedly knocked Jin Shun to the ground.The man didn't seem to notice Jin Shun at all, and continued to walk forward on his own.Jin Shun wasn't a good person in the first place, and this day, he was very unlucky, and he was about to find someone to calm the flames, so he thought you were unlucky.Jin Shun got up from the ground, trotted two steps to stand in front of the man and said, "Are you blind? You don't have eyesight when you walk, and you just knocked down your uncle Jin!"

The man stopped in his tracks, the dark night and the cap that was integrated with the cloak covered his entire face, he paused for a moment as if observing the man in front of him. "What do you want?" The man's voice was hoarse and cold as if it came directly from the throat, and Jin Shun's small eyes rolled around, guessing the identity of the man in front of him. "What do you think we should do?" The man's tone of voice had already stunned Jin Shun. At this moment, he just wanted to get some money from the man in front of him. But the man sneered, and before he could speak, he A familiar voice came from behind: "You are here..."

Jin Shun turned his head hastily, and saw Fang Rude standing behind him in a suit, holding a civilized stick in his hand. This Jin Shun has been robbing tombs for a living, and Fang Rude has long been watching him. That made Jinshun so arrogant.Seeing Fang Rude appearing here, Jin Shun feared that he would arrest him and bring him to the police station, so he ran away without saying a word, left the casino in a hurry, and went into the deep alley behind, seeing no one chasing after him. , and then stopped to breathe heavily. Jin Shun cursed inwardly that today's luck was really back home, the cards were not going well, and Fang Rude was almost bumped into by Fang Rude in the last hut, but suddenly a question flashed in his mind, Fang Rude's words "You are here..." His tone seemed extremely humble, and he probably wasn't addressing himself. Since it wasn't him, he was addressing the man in black. In an instant, Jinshun made a bold decision.

Jin Shun tiptoed against the wall to the back door of the casino. The back door was a dark alley with a car parked at the entrance. Jin Shun immediately recognized that car as the car of police chief Fang Rude. He bent down and touched the cab of the car carefully, then slowly raised his head and looked inside, only to see that the cab was empty and there was no one there.While Jinshun was pondering, he vaguely saw a light flashing in the deep alley, flickering on and off, he leaned forward sideways, and could faintly hear someone talking in the deep alley. Jin Shun didn't dare to approach any further, and kept hiding behind the car. About a quarter of an hour later, Jin Shun heard footsteps coming from the deep alley. The sound came from the direction of the car. Jin Shun hurriedly hid aside.After a while Fang Rude came out, stood at the entrance of the alley and lit a cigarette as if nothing had happened, looked left and right, saw that there was no movement around, then opened the car door and drove away.Not long after Fang Rude left, the man in black also came out of the deep alley. He walked out of the alley to the north of the city without hesitation. Although Jin Shun had never seen the face of that man, the man walked His back made him feel very familiar, but for a moment he even forgot where he saw it.

Jin Shun didn't dare to follow the man in black, and went back to his residence in the random graveyard in the north of the city.Jin Shun was lustful and gambler by nature, and he was full of creditors. In order to avoid gambling debts, he converted a tomb in a random cemetery in the north of the city into an underground residence with tables, chairs, benches, beds and utensils. He lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, the figure of the man in black kept lingering in his mind, but he couldn't remember who it was.After tossing and turning like this all night, Jinshun suddenly thought of a person in the dark, and the figure of this person overlapped with the man in black in Jinshun's mind.In an instant, a dangerous thought got into his head, and since then it has become a lingering nightmare, that person... shouldn't that person be dead?How could it suddenly appear in Beiping City?

Jin Shun suddenly sat up from the bed, he wanted to do something, something that could prove his guess.He took a short shovel, which was only about a foot long, with a curly shovel at the front and an iron chisel at the back.He hung the short shovel on his waist, got out of the burrow, and ran non-stop to a cemetery six or seven miles away. Half an hour later, several tall cedar trees appeared in front of Jinshun, and a three-story tomb could be vaguely seen between the cedar trees.The tomb is made of carved marble, the walls are decorated with bluestone reliefs, and the inside is decorated with screen walls. The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the steps are decorated with marble, which is quite magnificent.

Seeing the shape of the tomb, Jin Shun knew that the structure of the tomb must have been written by his master Jin Wuhui. As the eldest disciple of the Jin family, if Jin Shun wanted to open the tomb, it would be like picking something out of a pocket. It looks extremely solid, but the master often leaves a secret door under the marble stele. Behind this secret door is an extremely powerful mechanism. If it is opened accidentally, it will be swallowed by a large amount of floating sand inside.Jin Shun lightly knocked on the underside of the marble stele a few times, and then gently pushed the stele to one side. In an instant, the stele moved to one side more than a foot away, just enough for one person to enter.

Jinshun gritted his teeth, thinking that if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would get a tiger's cub, and then he went into the cave with the short shovel in his mouth.Although Jin Wuwei designed the secret passage into the tomb with nine twists and eighteen bends, like a huge maze, even if ordinary people enter, even if they don't touch the mechanisms inside and are swallowed by quicksand, they will still be unable to find the way back. Trapped in it.But as the saying goes, "It's hard to guard against family thieves by day and night", this Jin Shun has already been familiar with Master's methods.In less than half an hour, Jin came to the tomb in the middle by the way.

He jumped lightly from the top of the tomb and entered the main tomb. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with the tomb. The huge tomb didn't smell of rotting corpses at all. The flames flickered, and I couldn't help being shocked. The tomb several feet wide in front of me was like a bedroom. There were beds, tables and chairs, writing desks, and the four treasures of the study, but it was covered with spider webs and dust. It must have been unoccupied for many years. Jin Shun looked around the tomb, and became more convinced of his guess. That's right, the person he saw tonight must be the owner of the tomb. Why would he lie about his death when he is still alive?Since then, Jin secretly monitored Fang Rude's every move by the way, and gradually he discovered that Fang Rude always secretly met with the mysterious man in black.

This discovery made Jinshun even more excited. He had long heard that the family of insect repellents was related to a major secret. If that person faked his death, there should be only one reason, and that was that he was secretly investigating that secret.And Fang Rude should be one of his pawns.But how to get close to that person made Jinshun feel difficult, and finally the emperor paid off, just when he was at a loss, last night he found that Fang Rude had quietly entered Paoju Prison, and Jinshun followed him all the way to see him When he came back, he left an item at the entrance of the alley, and seeing no one around, Jin Shun secretly hid the item, knowing that the man in black must have given it to Fang Rude. So today after Jinshun fired two shots, Fang Rude quickly touched his body and found that he was not injured, so he was relieved, but when he saw the things in Jinshun's hands, he couldn't help being surprised, and said: "This... this How did you get it?" Jin Shun said with a smile: "Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to pass on a message for me, this thing is in my hands, if you want to take it back, you can talk to me face to face about the conditions!" "Jin Shun, you...you are courting death!" Fang Rude said angrily. "Hehe, I know him better than you!" Jin Shun put the thing in his arms, unloaded a few bullets from the gun, and then threw the empty gun to Fang Rude and said, "Tonight, No. 48 Dongjiaomin Lane It's too late..." Jin Shun smiled, "I'll destroy this thing, and no one else will get it!" Thinking of this, Jinshun drank a big sip of wine, and saw that the scene was approaching midnight, but there was still no sound in his ears.He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. Although he knew the identity of the man in black, he didn't know how the man he was about to face would deal with him, or if he would die in an instant. At this moment, he was extremely contradictory. On the one hand, he hoped to see that person as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he was afraid that that person would appear.The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. He saw that the time had passed, but there was no movement in his ears.Jinshun felt something was wrong, he was a suspicious person at first, got up and was about to leave, but at this moment, the door made a creaking sound and was slowly pushed open. Pan Jun gently opened the door and looked out. The sound of hooves in his ear was getting closer and closer. After entering the village, the horse stopped galloping, as if it was looking for something in this street. Gradually approaching the house where Pan Jun lived, Pan Jun couldn't help beaming with joy when he saw a woman and a child on the horse. "Miss Duan..." Pan Jun yelled, opening the door, and the woman on the horse heard Pan Jun's voice, and immediately put her horse's back on her back and ran towards this direction. "Brother Pan Jun!" Duan Er'e was quite surprised to meet Pan Jun at this moment, because she did not see Pan Jun when Feng Wanchun left.Yan Yun hurried up and said, "Miss Duan, where have you been? We are all worried about you and Jin Long!" "I..." Duan Er'e glanced at Pan Jun, then turned to look at Ouyang Yanyun, frowning all the time, at this moment, Jin Long who had been sitting in Duan Er'e's arms suddenly said: "We saw Brother Yanying! " "Yan Ying?" Yan Yun's body trembled slightly when he heard Yan Ying's name. Since the fierce battle between the siblings on the back hill of the old Pan family house in Anyang, Yan Yun has never seen Yan Ying again. The siblings have been dependent on each other since they were young, and traveled thousands of miles to the Central Plains in order to find the family secret treasure and the mother's whereabouts, but they are far apart at this moment.Yan Yun couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken when he thought about it, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head and said, "Where is he now?" "He..." Duan Er'e said with some embarrassment, "he has already left!" "Leaving?" Yan Yun grabbed Duan Er'e's hand and said, "Do you know where he went?" Duan Er'e shook her head and said, "I don't know, he seems to have heard some news from Beiping and hastily left with a group of Japanese!" "He's still with those Japanese?" Yan Yun couldn't believe his ears, "Did he forget that Grandpa died at the hands of those Japanese? Miss Duan, tell me who Yanying is going to?" The direction is gone!" Yan Yun said fiercely while holding the rein of Duan Er'e's horse tightly. "What's the matter?" Feng Wanchun asked loudly while walking out with his clothes on, and when he walked to the door, seeing Duan Er'e and Jin Long had already returned, he couldn't help smiling, "Haha, when did you come back? Why are you still here?" Standing outside? Come in quickly!" "Grandpa Feng!" Jin Long was very happy to see Feng Wanchun. Feng Wanchun stepped forward and hugged Jin Long from the horse, squeezed his face, and walked in with Jin Long in his arms, and said, "Where did you go to play, let Feng Wanchun go?" Grandpa, I'm worried!" "Miss Duan, go in!" Pan Jun pulled the rein tightly held by Yan Yun and said, "Let's go in and talk!" Duan Er'e nodded and glanced at Yan Yun, only to see that Yan Yun was already furious and clenched his fists tightly.After Duan Er'e got off the horse, she followed Pan Jun into the courtyard. Pan Jun tied the horse in the stable before slowly returning to the house. As soon as he stepped into the room, he felt that the air in the room was extremely oppressive. Feng Wanchun held Jinlong in his arms, and Jinlong whispered in Feng Wanchun's ear, laughing from time to time.And Yan Yun and Duan Er'e sat at the two ends of the kang, Duan Er'e lowered her head as if she had made a mistake, raised her head to look at Yan Yun from time to time, and Yan Yun was still furious, her fists clenched tightly. "Okay, Miss Duan, tell me about today's situation in detail!" Pan Jun said while sitting on the chair next to him. "En!" Duan Er'e nodded. It turned out that the Japanese in the town ahead were sent by Yanying to ambush them. I don't know how Yanying knew that they would take this route, but Yanying was quite sure about it.Originally, they planned to capture several people there, but unexpectedly, on the night when they estimated that Yan Yun and others were coming, a few strange insects suddenly appeared in the village, and those insects were more ferocious than leather monkeys. Too much, and in an instant, the Japanese insect masters sent by Yanying to ambush were all lost.The fugitive returned to the watchtower more than ten miles away to tell Yanying what had happened. Yanying came to the town overnight, but saw that the town was full of corpses of the people he sent, and did not find Pan Jun and his party. , So he quietly chased him along the way. When Feng Wanchun and others settled down here, Yan Ying had already sent people to infiltrate the village, but Yan Ying knew that all the people in this group except Duan Er'e and Jin Long possessed special skills, so it might be difficult for his subordinates to deal with them , Only then did he come up with this strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. He knew Pan Jun's character well, and if something happened to the village behind, he would definitely go to the rescue, so he had an opportunity to take advantage of it.So he led another group of people to hide in the depths of the birch forest and wait for the right time. Sure enough, Feng Wanchun and Yan Yun saw the village on fire and drove to rescue it. Yan Ying took this opportunity to kidnap Duan Er'e and Jin Long. "But why did Yanying let you back later?" Feng Wanchun asked suspiciously, suddenly Feng Wanchun seemed to have thought of something, stood up from his chair and said, "Duan girl, that bastard Yanying won't follow you come here?" Duan Er'e frowned, and before she could open her mouth, she heard a "squeak" from the courtyard door. Feng Wanchun quickly turned off the kerosene lamp beside her, and the room suddenly became dark.Yan Yun lay in front of the window, opened the window with a small eye and looked out, only to see that the courtyard door had been pushed open under the bright moon outside, but there was no one at the door at all. The room was deadly silent, only Qiao Rong's snoring could be heard from the next room. After a while, I suddenly saw a black figure like a drunken man swaying inward from the outside of the door. After taking three or four steps, he fell heavily on the ground. There was no movement for a long time. The people in the room could see clearly, and after waiting for a while, Pan Jun said softly: "You guys wait in the room for a while, I'll go out and have a look!" "Brother Pan, I want to go with you too!" Yan Yun followed him to the door without waiting for Pan Jun to refuse. Gently pushed open the door, the moonlight was very bright, and Pan Jun's eyes couldn't get used to it for a while. After his eyes fully adapted to the light outside, he found that the person was lying on the bed a couple of feet away from him. A puddle of dark liquid flowed down from the steps in front of him. Pan Jun knew something was wrong, and walked up in three steps at a time. A faint smell of blood rushed into Pan Jun's nostrils. Pan Jun stretched out his hand to press on his neck, but at this moment the man turned around suddenly, Pan Jun was startled, before he could step back, the man grabbed his arm tightly, with such force that his nails had already cut into his skin , and Yan Yun, who had been with Pan Jun before, couldn't help screaming "Ah" when he saw the man's face. Yan Yun has been with monkeys since he was a child. But he was still shocked by the face of the man in front of him. At this time, Pan Jun also noticed that the face of the man in front of him seemed to have been forcibly peeled off. Cen Cen's exposed white bones and bloodshot eyes were densely covered on his face, and one eyeball had disappeared. His eyes squinted at the person in front of him.He held Pan Jun's arm tightly with both hands, and his lips, which were stuck to the coagulated blood, were trembling slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. "You..." Pan Jun bowed his body while looking up and down at the strange man in front of him, and asked, "What do you want to say?" I saw that the man seemed to be exerting great effort, his chest heaved up and down rapidly, it seemed that he wanted to say something but he was struggling to open his lips that were clotted with blood.Suddenly his neck was tense, the veins in his neck burst out, and his lips finally parted: "Go!" The voice was extremely thick, forcefully ejected from the throat, and this roar seemed to exhaust all his strength. After roaring, his chest rose and fell twice and then stopped moving. "Brother Pan, he... is he Japanese?" Yan Yun had been looking at the clothes of the man in front of him just now, and found that what he was wearing was the same as those Japanese people who could repel insects that he had seen before. Pan Jun nodded, and forcefully separated the arm that was clasping his arm, and said, "If my predictions are correct, he should not be the only Japanese who followed Miss Duan!" After speaking, Pan Jun pondered for a moment and said, "You Stay here and protect Duan Er'e and Jin Long with Master Feng, I'll go out and have a look!" "Brother Pan, be careful!" As soon as Yan Yun finished speaking, Pan Jun had already walked out of the gate. This is a village with only dozens of families. A small road runs through the north and south. The west is more than ten miles away from the Yellow River, while the east is a stretch of mountains. Under the moonlight, Pan Jun follows the small road that runs through the entire village to the north. Walking away from the birch forest, just a hundred steps away, accompanied by a disgusting smell, Pan Jun saw three or four corpses lying in front of him from a distance. The corpse was extremely terrifying, the flesh on the arms or thighs was torn off abruptly, exposing the white bones.Pan Jun covered his face with his sleeves, covering up the unpleasant smell, and his steps quickened a lot. These corpses were almost exactly the same as those that died in the birch forest during the day, and they should all be the work of the Mongolian Death Worm. He walked several hundred steps and found no less than ten corpses of Japanese exterminators near the entrance of the village. The clothes of these people were almost exactly the same. Pan Jun bowed his body vigilantly. The death worm hadn't gone far, and the last time he was lucky enough to escape from that monster's mouth, if the ferocious monster appeared again at this moment, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to resist. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in Pan Jun's ear, and the sound came from the village. "Brother Pan, how are you doing?" Yan Yun shouted as she ran forward. Just now, after she returned to the house and told Feng Wanchun what happened in the courtyard, she was still worried about Pan Jun's safety, so she ran out again. Seeing Pan Jun shaking his head in confusion, he said, "They're all dead!" "No one alive?" Yan Yun originally thought that he could catch half a Japanese and learn the whereabouts of his younger brother Yan Ying from him, so he was somewhat disappointed at the moment. Pan Jun nodded, looking at the corpses killed by the Mongolian Death Worm in front of him, doubts spread in his heart little by little. The room was always pitch black, Duan Er'e was leaning against the wall with the golden dragon in his arms, sleeping soundly like a dream, and Yan Yun, who had been sitting by the door, was also fast asleep at this moment.Sitting next to Yan Yun, Pan Jun saw too many changes in the past month. Pan Pu, who had watched him grow up, betrayed him in an instant. He thought he knew everything about the insect repellent family. I found myself so unfamiliar with it, and that mysterious Shi Miaomiao! Shi Miaomiao, in an instant, a stunning face appeared in front of Pan Jun. She sat in front of her with tears in her eyes, and the tears reflected the bonfire in front of her. This was the first time in her life that she completely removed the mask hanging on her face The human skin mask, as imagined, the face under the mask is even more stunning than that human skin mask, she smiled slightly, a huge teardrop rolled down from the corner of her eye. "Do you believe me?" Shi Miaomiao looked at Pan Jun and said. For a moment, Pan Jun didn't know how to answer, or he simply forgot how he answered, because the previous and subsequent events seemed to be erased from Pan Jun's memory with one hand.During this period of time, Pan Jun has been trying his best to recall those things, but in the end he can only give himself a headache. "Pan Jun!" Pan Jun's body trembled suddenly, he turned his head and saw Feng Wanchun standing beside him, Feng Wanchun patted Pan Jun's shoulder lightly to signal him to come out with him. Pan Jun nodded, glanced at the three sleeping people on the kang, and followed Feng Wanchun out. It is already the third watch, and the moon is bright and the stars are sparse outside. It may be because of the surrounding mountains, the moon looks extraordinarily large, and the cold moonlight shines on the mysterious land below. After the corpse was disposed of, the two walked out of the gate. Feng Wanchun squatted at the gate, took out a cigarette and lit it, glanced at Pan Jun and said, "Boy, what happened after that night?" Pan Jun raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't know why what happened that night after I chased Shi Miaomiao away seems to be..." Pan Jun said with a frown . "It looks like it was erased by someone, right?" Feng Wanchun seemed to have anticipated what Pan Jun was going to say, and said quietly, smoking a cigarette. "Hmm!" Pan Jun looked at Feng Wanchunzheng in surprise, and was about to ask a question, but Feng Wanchun waved his hand and said, "I once had a similar experience to yours. When I woke up, what happened for almost a month was completely different. remembered!" "Yes!" Pan Jun said thoughtfully, "When I woke up, I found that I had left Henan and was lying in an inn, but Miss Shi had already disappeared!" "So that's how it is!" Feng Wanchun said thoughtfully, holding a cigarette in his hand, "There is one more thing, Pan Jun, did you find it strange that the group of Japanese in the birch forest yesterday afternoon didn't know what to do?" The ground died at the hands of the Mongolian Death Worm, and the Japanese who followed Duan Yatou tonight also died at the hands of the Mongolian Death Worm, it seems that someone is secretly helping us!" "Well, I was thinking about this just now!" Pan Jun said while sitting next to Feng Wanchun, "Actually, I still know a little about the origin of the Mongolian Death Worm, but this afternoon because of Qiao Rong's identity, so Didn't elaborate!" "Oh?" Feng Wanchun stared at Pan Jun with a cigarette in his mouth. "Actually, the fire-type insect repellent family formed several branches hundreds of years ago. Among them, the Ouyang family in Xinjiang and the Matsui family who went to Fusang are the most powerful. The secret treasures of the fire-type family have always been controlled by people from these two families. Take turns to keep them. Therefore, most of the time, everyone just knows that there are only these two branches of the fire family, but there is actually another branch, that is the fire family of insect repellents that went far away in Mobei!" Pan Jun said like a treasure. "The third branch of the fire-type insect repellent?" Feng Wanchun was so fascinated by the sound that he completely forgot about the unlit cigarette on his mouth. "Yes, it is said that when the third branch of the fire family left, there were only a dozen people. Although they were not very prosperous, each of them possessed special skills. What's more, unlike the two branches, they could control the other branch. An even more mysterious insect is the Mongolian Death Worm. Because this kind of insect is extremely ferocious, the two families of fire-type insect repellents jointly exterminated the third branch. If they were able to go as far away as Mobei, those dozens of people would die, some of them would die, and they would disappear for more than a hundred years without hearing from them for years!" Pan Jun said with a long sigh, "I thought this group of people It has long since ceased to exist, but who knows that it happened to meet here!" "It turns out that the fire family still has such an unknown history!" "That's right, I also read a few words about the Mongolian death worm in an ancient book, but I never thought that the weird worm would actually exist!" Pan Junchang sighed and said, "If it wasn't It's hard to believe that this kind of bug really exists when you see it with your own eyes." After Pan Jun finished speaking, both of them fell into a deep silence. It was Feng Wanchun who broke the silence first. He took a puff of cigarette, the cigarette butt flickered and said, "Pan Jun, actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question!" "What's the problem, Master Feng, please tell me!" Pan Jun said lightly. "I think our trip to Xinjiang this time should not be as simple as just looking for a cursive master!" This problem has been tormenting Feng Wanchun. He also paid attention, "And who was in the carriage that came when we left Anyang?" Pan Jun stood up and said, "Actually, the first time I went to Xinjiang was to find a cursive master, but..." Pan Jun stared at the bright moon in front of him, the things in his eyes were constantly shaking, and he seemed to return to the sky in an instant. The night they left Anyang City. A group of people followed the old man and left Anyang City. A carriage slowly drove up a dozen miles outside Anyang City, and Pan Jun got into the carriage.The carriage was very big, and it was two or three meters long. After the curtain fell, it was dark inside. Suddenly, he grabbed Pan Jun with one hand. Pan Jun was surprised that the man had already moved to Pan Jun's ear and whispered: " Master Pan, do you still remember me?" Pan Jun felt that the voice was very familiar, and suddenly remembered Aixinjueluo Gengnian, the owner of Beiping Hengyuan, but what surprised Pan Jun was how this descendant of the Qing Dynasty came here suddenly. "Brother Geng Nian, why did you come to Anyang suddenly?" Pan Jun asked suspiciously. "Master Pan, in fact, I have been secretly investigating something while living in Beiping City for so many years!" Geng Nian said mysteriously, "Two people have been secretly imprisoned in the secret room of Beiping Paoju Prison. The Kwantung Army Command personally ordered the secret guards, and as far as I know, these two people have a very close connection with the insect repellent family!" "Oh?" Pan Jun looked at Geng Nian in the dark with some surprise. "The Japanese locked two people in an underground secret room made of concrete, which is almost airtight to the outside world!" Geng Nian said with a sigh of relief, "But there is no airtight wall in this world. As far as I know I know that these two people were captured by the Japanese in Xinjiang decades ago!" "Xinjiang?" Pan Jun was thinking about something in his heart. "Yes, Xinjiang. As far as I know, the Japanese have been secretly operating in Xinjiang for a long time. I think their purpose must be related to the secret of the insect repellent!" Geng Nian took out a letter and handed it to Pan Jun. , "Master Pan, here is a letter from me, if you arrive in Tianshui, please pass it on to Xue Gui of Tianshui City!" "Okay!" Pan Jun took the letter and carefully put it in his arms, but was about to leave when Geng Nian grabbed him. Pan Jun was startled, and saw Geng Nian coming up to him and whispering in his ear After a few times, Pan Jun was startled and said, "Is this true?" "Nine times out of ten!" Although Geng Nian dared not say he was dead, it was clearly not groundless. "Mr. Pan's journey to Xinjiang must be full of hardships and dangers. Take care all the way!" Geng Nian cupped his hands. "Thank you!" After speaking, Pan Jun lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, watching the car slowly go away with Feng Wanchun. Pan Jun told Feng Wanchun what happened that day, Feng Wanchun's frown that had been tightly furrowed gradually relaxed and said: "I said why you told me to meet in Tianshui City, so there is such a reason in it!" "Yes!" Pan Jun stood up and said, "It's time to go to Tianshui in two days!" As soon as Pan Jun finished speaking, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from the back door of the yard. Pan Jun couldn't tell, so he and Feng Wanchun looked at each other, and they looked into the yard almost simultaneously. run. The bright moon was in the sky, and everything was silent. The city of Beiping finally got rid of the hustle and bustle of the day and finally fell into a deep calm. Only the katydids on the trees were still chirping tirelessly. Under the tree, the door of the small house hidden in Dongjiaomin Lane was slowly pushed away.Jin Shun immediately turned off the lights in the house, then trotted softly to the door and looked out against the crack of the door, only to see a man in a black cloak appearing at the door, he stood in front of the door for a while, and then slowly walked in. . Jin Shun looked at that person nervously, the palms of his hands that had been pressing the black silk box were already wet with sweat.The man in front of him was walking in square steps, the low brim of his hat covered almost his entire face, he stopped at the door and said with a sigh of relief: "Since you asked me to come, don't hide behind the door anymore, nephew! " The man's tone was sonorous and powerful, full of air. Jin Shun hurriedly opened the door, and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, it is really you!" Reaching into Jinshun's clothes, he took out the black silk box lightly, snorted softly in his nostrils, and walked towards the hall in front of him. The moment just now scared Jin Shun into a cold sweat, with a flattering smile on his face all the time, after the man in black sat down, Jin Shun came to his senses with a smile and walked in front of the man in black, took out a torch and lit a candle He went up, but was stopped by the man in black, he stared at Jinshun and said, "Is there a second person who knows about me?" Jin Shun was taken aback, put away the booklet and said with a smile: "How can I tell the second person such a confidential matter!" "Hehe!" The man sneered twice and said, "It's good that no one else knows! Where is the thing?" "Hey!" Jin Shun picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, brought it to the man in black and said, "Why is Shi Bo so anxious? You have a cup of tea first!" After speaking, he held the teacup in front of the man in black with both hands , the man in black squinted at Jin Shun coldly, raised his hand and overturned the teacup to the ground, stood up and said, "Give me that thing now!" "Hey!" Jin Shun said with the same stern look, "Shi Bo, if I hand over that thing to you right now, I'm afraid my life will be lost!" Jin Shun had been thinking about it before. He couldn't figure out what that thing was, but when he took it out, he understood from Fang Rude's expression that it seemed to be very important, and now that thing is his amulet, Once she falls to the side, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this room at all.Therefore, Jinshun had already hidden that thing in a secret place when he came here. "Hmph!" The man locked Jin Shun's throat, and Jin Shun clasped the man in black's arm with both hands reflexively. It has long since disappeared, staring at the man in black with a pair of round eyes with a livid face, "Where is the thing?" "I...I..." Jin Shun struggled, but his throat was stuck and he couldn't speak, his eyelids began to roll up. At this moment, the man in black let go, and Jin Shun quickly covered his neck with both hands and stepped back. After a few steps, he bowed his body and coughed non-stop while waving his hands desperately and said, "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi...I...I'll take you to get that thing." "Where is the thing?" The man in black sneered. 金顺咳嗽半晌总算是缓了过来，他直起身来说道：“东西在燕凤楼我姘头那里！” “现在带我去取！”黑衣人语气冰冷地说道。 “好，好，好！”金顺脸上再无笑意，脑袋点得如同拨浪鼓一般。 “呵呵，你最好不要耍什么花样！”黑衣人说着已经走在了前面，金顺低着头跟在黑衣人的身后，此刻他开始后悔当初自己是哪根神经搭错了竟去惹他。 出了门一辆黑色的轿车停在外面，黑衣人钻进轿车，金顺立刻便认出那轿车是方儒德的座驾，他跟随那黑衣人坐在车上，只见方儒德正笑眯眯地坐在驾驶座上。 “开车！”男人冷冷命令道。 方儒德连忙发动车子，他扭过头低声说道：“师父，咱们去哪里？” 黑衣人扭过头瞥了一眼金顺，金顺立刻会意地说道：“陕西巷！” “呵呵！”方儒德轻蔑地笑了笑说道，“没想到就你这货也敢去陕西巷！”这陕西巷从乾隆年间开的便是头等的清吟小班，这清吟小班不仅仅做皮肉生意，还陪客人宴饮、抚琴弹唱，弄曲填词，出入者大多是达官显贵、社会名流，方儒德万没想到如金顺这般下九流竟然也会到陕西巷去。 金顺满心不服气，但碍于眼前那黑衣人也只是敢怒不敢言。车子缓缓驶离东交民巷，向南城大栅栏驶去，这陕西巷属于八大胡同之一，是一条南北胡同，南起珠市口西大街，北至铁树斜街，此时虽然已经接近三更时分，然而刚进入陕西巷便感到与当下完全不同的歌舞升平。 形形色色穿着各异的人穿梭往来于这条不夜街，这燕凤楼位于陕西巷中段，为不引起别人注意，黑衣人让方儒德将车子停靠在珠市口西大街，然后伸手从袖口拿出一件物事在金顺的手腕上轻轻一扎，金顺吃痛猛然一惊，只见那黑衣人幽幽地说道：“你最好不要和我耍花样，否则小心你的小命……” 金顺连连点头，他心想即便不耍花样自己的小命恐怕此刻也已经是旦夕之间了。黑衣人让方儒德陪同金顺去燕凤楼中取那件物事，自己则坐在车里。方儒德连连点头关上车门跟随着金顺沿着这陕西巷的胡同向里面走去。 “我说金顺，你小子这次可玩大了！”方儒德一面向前走一面不忘挖苦金顺几句，金顺全然没有理会方儒德，而是自顾自地在心中盘算着自己应何去何从，这方儒德虽说是警察局局长，但是并没有什么大本事，想要从他手里逃走简直易如反掌，不过刚刚那黑衣人给金顺下的这一针却极为致命，如果七日之内不能得到解药的话，恐怕自己真的会一命呜呼。 但是如果将那物事交给了黑衣人恐怕自己活不过今日，金顺一面盘算一面走进了燕凤楼。这燕凤楼一共四层，外面挂着几盏灯笼，门口站着几个穿红戴绿的姑娘，进入内中却又是另一番天地，里面莺莺雀雀，虽然已经是三更天，但却依旧丝竹声不绝于耳。 刚一进来老鸨便迎了上来：“哎哟，金爷您今天怎么有空到这来了！” 金顺脸色铁青，脖子上紫红色的抓痕清晰可见：“妈妈，帮我把小月仙叫来！” 那老鸨一脸抱歉地说道：“金爷，今晚恐怕不成，小月仙那里有客了！” “什么？”金顺这一肚子无明业火正愁无处发泄，此时一听立时跳了起来，“我告诉你老鸨子，今天我就要小月仙出来陪我，要是晚了一时半刻老子怒了烧了你这鸡窝！” “嘿嘿！”老鸨冷笑了两声说道，“你还真是敬酒不吃吃罚酒，我敬着你叫你一声金爷，你还真把自己当成爷了，给那两个子就妄想着把我们小月仙给包养了去？你也不撒泡尿照照你那副德行！” 金顺随手拿过一个茶碗便向老鸨的脑袋砸去，这老鸨毫无防备，根本没想到这金顺会忽然出手，那茶碗不偏不倚正好砸在老鸨的头上，老鸨“哇”的一声，鲜血便从头顶淌了下来，老鸨哪里肯罢休，扯着嗓子喊道：“六子，有人闹事！” 声音刚落，只见几个彪形大汉上身赤裸从里面蹿了出来站在门口便道：“哪个活得腻歪了来这里撒野？” 老鸨额头上淌下来的血早已经将眼睛遮住，只能眯着眼睛模糊地指着站在一旁的金顺和方儒德道：“那个……那个！” 而金顺也顺着老鸨所指的方向指了指站在自己身后的方儒德，那些彪形大汉见二人所指的都是方儒德，便向方儒德扑来，方儒德连忙解释，但这些大汉哪里听得那么许多，管他三七二十一几个人一起上前，方儒德一下子便被按倒在地，拳头如雨点般地落在身上，嘴里也只能哎呀呀乱叫不停。 几个好事之人很快聚拢了过来，将这几个人团团围在核心，而金顺则趁此时从人群中溜了出去，悄悄摸上楼去，他与那小月仙素来交好，这小月仙出身卑微，几岁便被卖到这燕凤楼中，但这老鸨眼光独到，一看便是个美人胚子，于是多加调教，颇费心力，年方二八不但出落得清水芙蓉，而且琴、棋、书、画、笙、管、丝、弦样样精通，且略通诗词，更难得的是做得一手好菜。只是人在风尘之中，恩客虽多真心之人却有几个？这金顺虽然长得其貌不扬却对小月仙颇为真心，便是这样两人交情极厚。 此次金顺心知那人必不是善类，于是便留了一手将那物事拜托小月仙保管，临行之前再三叮嘱恐怕此物关乎个人身家性命千万保护好。 小月仙所住之处在燕凤楼的第三层转角一间，金顺来到门口向楼下张望，只见几个大汉早已经将方儒德打得不省人事，此刻正将人向外抬，金顺不禁心中得意。将耳朵贴在小月仙门上侧耳倾听，里面全无声息，想必已然睡熟。金顺轻轻地在门上叩了两下，小声说道：“小月仙……小月仙……” 两声之后见始终无人应答便在门上一推，谁知那门竟然是虚掩着的，他这一推力道不小，竟来了个倒栽葱扑倒了里面，谁知刚一扑倒手上便抓到一件肉乎乎的物事，金顺心头一惊连滚带爬地站起来，借着外面的灯光，金顺见那小月仙此刻正倒在地上，他警觉地将手凑到小月仙的鼻孔前发现尚有呼吸，这才总算是松了一口气。 金顺用力掐住小月仙的人中，片刻之后小月仙苏醒过来，刚一睁眼便猛然挥起手照着金顺的脸便是一记耳光，金顺不及躲闪，正好打在脸上。 “你做什么？”金顺小声喊道，小月仙见打错了人连忙说道：“快，快追，刚刚有人把你交给我的东西拿走了！” “啊？”金顺惊呼道，“这是什么时候的事情？那个人长什么样？” 小月仙轻轻地揉着脑袋说道：“是一个女子，虽然她是女扮男装，不过刚进来我便看出她分明是个女人！” “女人？”金顺一面扶着小月仙站起来一面在脑海中快速回忆着这个词，女人，那个女人究竟是谁？怎么会知道自己将那物事藏在小月仙这里了呢？ 正在此时，楼下又传来一阵嘈杂的声音，金顺警觉地向门口奔去，见此刻老鸨正在一面捂着脸，一面给方儒德道歉数落着几个莽撞的汉子。 “老鸨子！”方儒德此刻衣服被撕扯得破破烂烂，脸上青一块紫一块，架在鼻梁上的眼镜一块镜片早已碎了，嘴角还溢着血，“金顺的姘头住在哪个房间？” “方局长，都怪我老婆子有眼不识泰山！”说着老鸨象征性地在脸上打了一下。方儒德此时毫无心思与这老鸨纠缠，大声吼道：“我他妈的问你金顺的姘头住在哪间屋子？” “哦，哦，三楼拐角第一间！”老鸨捂着额头上的伤口指着楼梯说道。方儒德对面前几个大汉吼道：“你们几个今天晚上要是把金顺给我放跑了，明天我就把你们扔进耗子笼里喂老鼠！” 几个大汉一听，一起向楼上冲来，金顺见势不妙，连忙后退几步关上房门，扭过头对小月仙说道：“月仙姐姐，我要离开几日！”没等小月仙明白过来，金顺已经奔到窗口，打开窗子，从袖口掏出一件物事，轻轻一按，从内中弹出几根钢针，牢牢地钉在窗棂上。金顺捏着手中的物事毫不犹豫地跳了下去。 待到那群大汉破门而入之时，金顺早已经消失得无影无踪了，窗棂上只有几根钢丝细线。方儒德望着空荡荡的楼下不禁狠狠地砸了一下窗子，转身离开了燕凤楼。 金顺离开燕凤楼之后便从胡同的另一头离开了陕西巷，他唯恐方儒德会找上门来，因此根本不敢回家，而是偷偷溜到北平城南的一家鸡毛店中。这家鸡毛店与京城中其他的鸡毛店有所不同，因为金顺知道，这世界上如果还有谁能知道自己行踪的话，那么只有一个人，便是这鸡毛店的主人，人称马蛇子的马爷！ 金顺钻进那家鸡毛店之后径直走进了一个房间，这鸡毛店平日虽然客来如潮大多房间都人满为患，然而熟络的客人都知道一个规矩，无论如何也不会走进那个房间。 小二出去之后金顺将房门虚掩上，自己坐在桌子前轻轻撩开袖口，手腕的地方有一个小小的红点，那是在车上被那黑衣人留下的，虽然他不知道那究竟是什么毒，但是心里却清楚，如果拿不到黑衣人的解药，自己必定会在七天之内暴亡。现在他唯一能做的就是找到那个拿走那件神秘物事的女人，夺回那件东西，只有这样自己才有资本与那黑衣人谈条件，说不定还能捡回一条命来。 金顺倒了一杯茶，喝了一口，不禁全部吐了出来，这茶俗称高碎，实际上便是茶叶末。不仅奇苦无比，更兼这茶中有股子怪里怪气的味道，金顺气由心生刚要叫骂，谁知那门被缓缓地推开了，金顺手中紧握着杯子盯着门口，一会儿工夫一个人出现在了金顺面前，金顺一惊，向后退了一步却不小心一脚踩空，整个人瞬间跌倒在地。
