Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 112 Uncle Xiang
The wretched old man made a silence gesture in front of me, telling me to go with him. Seeing that I was still vigilantly watching him motionless, he shook his head and spoke.

"I said, young man, it's really not suitable for talking here, let's change to another place."

Even though I didn't believe what he said, I could tell from his eyes that things were not as simple as I thought.I thought, if I had to fight with him, he might not be my opponent, so I would just follow him for now.

After leaving Panjiayuan, the old man led me into an alley.Turning around, I walked to the door of a courtyard house.He took out the key very skillfully, this should be his residence.

"Go in and don't talk for a while, the old lady of the landlady won't let anyone come back casually." The old man whispered to me, and through his description, I seemed to have seen the appearance of the old lady he was talking about.

In fact, there are many courtyard houses in BJ, all of which are not within the scope of demolition, which can be regarded as preserving cultural characteristics.However, those who have not been demolished may not live as comfortably as we imagined.

The house the old man rented was the East Wing, and as soon as he entered the room, he could smell a pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine. The old man was still a medicine jar.

"I have arthritis, and I have been relying on these traditional Chinese medicines for conditioning. It will be fine if I get used to it."

Seeing me covering my nose, the old man spoke slowly, took a thermos pot casually, and skillfully brewed a pot of Gao Sui.I didn't drink it, and I don't know if there is poison in it.

Seeing that I was still staring at him like a policeman interrogating a prisoner, he smiled, took a sip of tea and said, "Young man, when we met for the first time, I asked you if you knew old man Qin. Do you still remember?"

I nodded and waited for his next words.He drank tea unhurriedly, glanced out the window and said, "Hehe, since you still have prejudice against me, let me explain it to you. My name is Tao Xiangwen, and everyone calls me Uncle Xiang. "

After he finished speaking, he didn't seem to intend to give me a chance to ask questions, so he continued talking.When he went to Maoshan to learn Taoism, he met his elder brother, old man Qin.Mr. Qin took good care of him, and the two studied Taoism together when they were free.However, one day, a Taoist nun came to the mountain, who was their junior sister. After that, the relationship between the two began to deteriorate.

Uncle Xiang fell in love with this junior sister at first sight at the time, probably because of Uncle Xiang's appearance, this junior sister always deliberately kept a distance from him.On the contrary, he had a good relationship with Mr. Qin, which made Uncle Xiang very angry at that time.

But later, the master handed down two pieces of jade pendant, and they didn't have his share, but they were handed over to Mr. Qin and his junior sister.Uncle Xiang was not happy at that time, and left the division in a fit of anger.

When I heard what he said, I thought to myself, you old man is quite infatuated despite your wretched appearance.If it were me, I would not stay on the mountain anymore.

Uncle Xiang looked at the teacup in his hand and sighed, "If only Lianhua could be with me at that time."

"Who are you talking about? Lotus?"

Seeing my big reaction, he hurriedly asked me what was wrong.When I finished talking about Mrs. Shi, his eyes flickered, and he looked like he was about to cry.

After a long silence, I picked up the cold tea and drank it.And I was thinking in my mind, why is this world so small, it seems that everyone can be connected.

Uncle Xiang wiped away his tears, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Hehe, at least, it's not as cheap as that old man surnamed Qin."

After casually chatting about the past, I quickly changed the topic to what happened tonight and asked him if he knew what was going on.

"Huh, that guy surnamed Wei, I don't think he's a good guy at first glance. When Mingming and I went to his place to discuss whether we could rent the front door to us, he refused and refused to see his house. It’s so dark inside that I don’t want to rent it anymore.”

"Mingming? Tao Ming?"

"Yes, my son, Tao Ming."

When I heard this, my hairs stood on end. If he knew that Jiang Nianqing and I killed his son, I don't know how he would feel.

I was still thinking about how to tell this matter, when he opened the mouth first: "My son, he is not the same as if he is not. Every day he is ignorant and incompetent. Hearing that his father, I used to be a Taoist priest. , I insist on becoming a Taoist priest.”

"Uncle Xiang, I don't know how to tell you this, but your son is dead."

I told what happened before from beginning to end, and seeing his ugly face, I felt a little regretful.Logically speaking, if he had a heart attack after listening to me and died in front of me, that would be my responsibility.

However, what I thought of him was superficial. After listening to it, he just kept a dark face and said nothing. After a long time, he said: "I can't blame you for this. When he became a demon before, he was already regarded as a monster." It's a dead man. However, it's not so easy for a demon to die, are you sure he's really dead?"

I nodded. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that his body after transferring his soul was incinerated by us.

The old clock on the wall jingled, waking us up from the silence.Looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Uncle Xiang, let's talk again when we have time. I have to go to Uncle Wei's house and get the jade pendant back."

"Forget it you, before you even reached his house, he had already left. The lights in the house were deliberately lit, and there was a Zhuxian formation inside. If you go in, you will not want your life, or you can be destroyed. Way to go."

After Uncle Xiang finished speaking, he served me another cup of tea.When I heard the Zhuxian Formation, I couldn't believe it. These are all things in myths and legends. How could they really exist?
He explained to me: "The Zhuxian formation I'm talking about is not the one you imagined, but a combination of various things that will cause the caster to fail. I will tell you the details later. .Today, you can deal with it overnight, and tomorrow I will take you to meet someone."

I don't know what his intention is, but since he is from the same school as my teacher, and he knows Uncle Wei well, it doesn't matter to wait an extra night.

Early in the morning, I heard noisy voices in the yard. One sentence of your uncle and your grandma swearing at the street floated into my ears.

The scolding is ugly, and I don't know how much hatred there is.After being so noisy by her, I didn't feel sleepy at all. I wanted to go out and see who was so unqualified.Uncle Xiang hurried over and stopped me, saying that the one who cursed outside was the old landlord.If I go out now, maybe I will be involved in the roll too.

"The one who received a thousand knives even stole the old lady's underpants, isn't it disgusting! From the very beginning, I thought you were not a good person, and I guessed it right!"

No matter how I heard it, I felt that this sentence was shouted at us, so I quickly cast my eyes on Uncle Xiang.He said helplessly: "Hey, to tell you the truth, this is not the first time, and I don't know any wicked person who only steals the landlord's underpants. I am the oldest in this yard, and she said I stole it. Tell me, who in this tm has such a heavy mouth?"

Hearing what he said, I couldn't help laughing, and he laughed with me.After a while, the outside quietened down, and I began to analyze the matter.

"Okay, don't worry about it, follow that criminal policeman for a day or two, you really think you are a policeman, let's go now."

Whether this old man is following me or not, he knows all about it.After hearing my question, he quickly explained that he also knew about it by accident when he was following Uncle Wei.

The Third Ring Road is full of traffic; Panjiayuan is full of people.A few old BJs walking the birds have become the spokesmen of leisure in this noisy city.

I followed Uncle Xiang into a teahouse, took a look, and immediately recognized the person he wanted to show me.

"Ma Daxian?"

When Ma Wen saw me, he was taken aback for a moment, but he stood up to greet me.Sitting next to him was Liu Chunli's father, Liu Jianguo.

Since we all know each other, we skipped the stage of self-introduction and went directly to the topic.

Liu Jianguo hadn't seen him for such a long time, and his complexion was much better than the last time we met, but Ma Wen was much older.Liu Jianguo cleared his throat and said, "This guy named Wei, I've known for a long time that he's not a good guy, and I've always paid attention to him, but I didn't expect him to be from the Soul Sect."

"I didn't expect that either, but I've asked someone to find out that he and that kid named Sun went to XJ."

What Marvin said reminded me of the first sentence on the stone tablet. "Baisha Yulou, among the black stones", could it be that this Baisha is XJ?Also, could the person surnamed Sun be Sun Heizi?

Liu Jianguo saw what I was thinking, so he said: "Thirteen, you must be right. The location of the ghost country is in XJ. In fact, many documents about the ghost country also point to XJ in the end. We have been Unexpectedly, it was because we thought things were too complicated."

"Ma Daxian'er, is the person whose surname Sun you mentioned is Sun Heizi?"

Ma Wen nodded, and told me not to call him Daxian Ma, but Uncle Ma.I don't know if he will be a senior, so I quickly changed my name and called him Uncle Ma.

While the big guys were chatting, they opened the door and Liu Chunli and Liu Chunling came in.When she saw me, she wasn't surprised, she just told me to go back to the headquarters with Liu Chunling and get ready for the next mission.

I was a little confused, so I quickly said, "Are you going to XJ?"

"Yes, but you go to the airport first and pick someone up with Lingling." After she finished speaking, she walked up to Liu Jianguo and whispered.

Liu Chunling came over, took my arm and pulled me out, saying that the plane would land soon.

When I arrived at the airport, I saw a familiar figure.Playful double ponytails, a sportswear, is looking around with big eyes blinking.As soon as he saw me, he quickly walked over with a smile, regardless of the eyes of the people around him.Throwing down the luggage, he threw himself into my arms.

"Shanshan? Aren't you an intern? Why?"

Before I finished speaking, she sucked my mouth shut, and squinted at Liu Chunling beside me, pretending to look away.
