Master of Heaven III

? "

"Yes, yes, yes!"

When the opportunity came, Henry Zhang didn't bother with Nie Xingfeng anymore about the coins, ran back, sat next to Qu Xingchen, saw that he looked gloomy, it seemed that he was not having a good chat with Su Wen, so he patted him on the shoulder kindly, He whispered, "Haste makes waste, take your time, at least he calls you Mr. Qu now."

This sentence just rightly soothed Qu Xingchen's depression. Although he knew Henry Zhang's words were words of comfort, he was still very grateful to him, and laughed at himself: "I have to blame for everything. It is very good to see him again now. Thank you for bringing him here too."

No thanks, anyway, he did it for a purpose.

"I know that the case you're investigating is related to the Ma family. I've heard something about the Ma family before, but I'm not sure whether it will help you investigate the case."

"It doesn't matter, the clues don't matter how many, as long as there are."

Henry Zhang's eyes were shining, and he looked very interested. Qu Xingchen couldn't help but think of Zhang San, and only Zhang San could teach such a joyous disciple, but their temperament is also destined to be unsuitable for staying in the Tianshi school. .

"That happened more than 20 years ago. When the gate of hell opened in July and a half, for some reason, many evil spirits who were trapped in hell ran out, and together with other demons, they made trouble. There were countless casualties, because there were too many monsters, and the spells of the leader were powerful, so everyone had to join forces to deal with it. All the sects sent their masters to come. Our side is Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Ji. He also brought me along, saying that going through some dangers might open my mind."

Hearing this, Henry Zhang and Nie Xingfeng looked at Su Wen together, and they both thought that Qu Xingchen's so-called depression was related to Yeling's death. Qu Xingchen might have acted impulsively back then, but combined with his life experience, it is also possible It turns out that everything can only be said to be a trick of good fortune.

"In this way, I came here with my two senior brothers and joined hands with my colleagues to deal with the evil spirits. With everyone's concerted efforts, I finally closed the gate of ghosts. Everyone held a banquet to celebrate that night, and Ma Yanche from the Ma family in southern Sichuan also came. , I didn’t participate because I was injured. I heard that Ma Yanche left without saying goodbye the next day. I felt very strange. I asked Brother Ji, and he said he didn’t know. Others said that he left overnight. At that time, I thought maybe something happened to Ma Yanche.”

"how do you know?"

"Although Ma Yanche and I just met, we hit it off right away. He has an aggressive personality and his own way of magic. It is said that he can also write curses and witchcraft, so his colleagues are very wary of him, but he is actually a very good person. Zhong also rescued me, he made a private appointment with me to go to the northwest to see the scenery after the battle, so how could he leave without saying a word?”

"Maybe it's something at home." Su Wen was fascinated and couldn't help saying.

Since then, Su Wen has always been indifferent to Qu Xingchen. This is the first time he has spoken on his own initiative. Qu Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he explained in detail: "I suspect it's because he mentioned to me that he had conflicts with his family. , so if you want to travel far, even if you have something urgent to go, you won’t even say hello, but Brother Zhang didn’t let me ask any more, so we left that day, and the others also left in a hurry, as if they were avoiding something .”

Everyone's secrecy only added to Qu Xingchen's doubts. He thought about what happened after the celebration banquet that night, which caused everyone to leave in a hurry. No one knew about Ma Yanche's whereabouts. The last place Ma Yanche appeared was in the battle of subduing demons. After that, no one mentioned this person again, including the entire Ma family in southern Sichuan, which disappeared completely.

"What happened that night, you didn't ask Zhang Xueshan?" Henry Zhang asked.

Qu Xingchen shook his head: "If I ask him, he won't say anything, but on the way back, I overheard Brother Ji telling Brother Zhang that this trip was bad. It's been so long, if I didn't see the news I almost forgot about the picture of the family emblem shown in the video. Brother Ji was flustered when he saw the family emblem, which reminded me that Jin Dashan also attended the celebration banquet. From my standpoint, this matter should not be mentioned to outsiders. , but I am worried that if I ignore it, I am afraid that the consequences will be more difficult to deal with.”

That is to say, no matter whether Su Wen agrees to come to see Qu Xingchen today, he will tell the story.

Seeing that Qu Xingchen is not a person who is good at disguising, so that his hesitation was clearly conveyed, Nie Xingfeng asked: "Then do you remember who were the other people who attended the celebration banquet?"

Qu Xingchen's eyes quickly swept over Su Wen, and said: "At that time, my heart was not there, and it has been many years, how can I still remember? I remember more clearly that there was a person named Song who had a good relationship with Senior Brother Ji. It's very weird, like a crossbow, but the arrow is a death nail, no matter how powerful a ghost is, if the death nail is fixed on the skull, it will be out of its wits."

"Skull!" Henry Zhang yelled, and quickly called up the photo of the head on the phone and handed it to him, asking, "Is this the way of nailing?"

Seeing the head with half of the drill bit embedded in the middle of the head, Qu Xingchen's face changed, and Henry Zhang asked again: "Isn't this a drill bit?"

"Have you pulled it out to see? If the top of it is engraved with Song characters, it is a death nail. The other end of it should be connected to a crossbow, which can be shot or drilled. The Song family is a little clever. In order to kill ghosts and save effort, he gave the crossbow Equipped with a power switch... Where did you get this photo? This person has been closed for a long time, and it is said that even the crossbow is also sealed and useless."

Henry Zhang didn't answer, and turned to look at Nie Xingfeng, and for a moment both of them had a terrible idea-that head might belong to Ma Yanche!

"Is there any contact information for the surname Song?"

"Senior Brother Ji might have it," Qu Xingchen said, sensing the seriousness of the matter from their expressions, "If you want to know, I can find a chance to ask him, just tonight..."

After hesitating for a while, he didn't continue, and Nie Xingfeng didn't ask further. The unexpected news aggravated his uneasiness, so he stood up and said goodbye. Say, "Thank you."

Qu Xingchen was overwhelmed by the flattery, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and hurriedly said: "No thanks, no thanks, I hope you will come as a guest next time."

Su Wen nodded, Qu Xingchen wanted to say more, the landline in the room rang, Henry Zhang waved to him, and said, "You are busy, we can go out by ourselves."

"I'll let Zhang Zheng see you off."

Waizhuang seldom called. Qu Xingchen was worried about something urgent, so he didn't insist on sending them off. Anyway, Zhang Zheng was outside. He wanted Zhang Zheng to lead, and nothing would happen.
