Chapter 184: Lurking
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking back at the Mihunting Tower at the foot of the mountain, even in the broad daylight, the Mihunting Tower feels full of mist.
Looking back on the experiences of these two days and two nights, it was like having a nightmare.
It was often said that those who do our jobs would step on the underworld with half of their feet and half of their feet in the sun.
Thinking about this sentence now, it is actually not an exaggeration at all.
What we face are all kinds of evil things, and if we are not careful, we will cause trouble.
Earn meager wages and doing business that keeps your head open.
Although sometimes we seem to earn more, we are all earned for our lives.
The danger that happened this time was all because of the mandrill, but unexpectedly, he finally used the mandrill to walk out of the Misty Pond.
Leizi asked me how to deal with the mandrills. I said to the mandrills: "You go, I said that as long as you take us out of the Misty Tower, I will not kill you!"
The mandrill bowed to me, got up from the ground, turned around and ran wildly, and disappeared into the forest.
"Just let it go?" Lei Zi said hatefully.
I retracted my gaze: "It no longer has any attack power, it may be similar to a monkey!"
Lei Zi sighed: "I originally wanted to kill it and avenge the matchstick!"
I looked back at Lei Zi: "Who do you think is the one who really killed the match stick? Is it this mandrill?"
Lei Zi thought for a while: "No! It's those two native masters!"
I nodded: "Yes! They are the real murderers! I want to see what the hell are they playing with these two bastards!"
After walking in the mountains and forests for more than a day, we finally arrived at Youshui Pier.
The mountains and forests are rich in water and there is a lot of food, so we eat more on this day.
A cold moon hung on the top of the mountain, with crescent moons like hooks, and the faint moonlight splashed on the river surface.
"The Youshui Wharf is at the foot of the mountain!" said Lao Huang.
This is a small water transport terminal, with a clear river winding through the mountains.
From a distance, it looks like a long dragon swimming out of the mountains.
When I was about to arrive at the dock, I asked Lei Zi and the others to stop and then lifted the lid of the coffin.
Lei Zi looked at me in confusion: "Jiujizi, what are you doing?"
"Land!" I took a deep breath, turned over and drilled into the coffin, and drilled a small hole on the edge of the coffin.
Lei Zi opened his mouth: "Jiu Jizi, you..."
"Continue to carry the coffin! If not, how could I sneak into the enemy and find out the information!" I lay down in the coffin.
Lei Zi waved his hand and said, "Be careful," and then asked Lao Huang and the others to close the lid of the coffin again.
The coffin emitted a fishy smell from the boss, which was very unpleasant. I pinched my nose and tried to minimize my breathing.
I saw through the small hole dug at the edge of the coffin and soon saw the dock.
I really want to know what the two masters mean to let us transport the coffin to Youshui Wharf.
Also, who will be the person responsible for receiving the coffin at the dock?
I have thought about it before that perhaps hiding in the coffin is the best way to sneak in, and enter the enemy without knowing it.
There were several ships moored by the dock, including wooden boats and a slightly larger iron boat.
Several fishing fires were revealed on the iron boat, and there were figures shaking on the boat.
Lei Zi and the others carried the coffin and came to the front of the iron boat. They shouted, and someone immediately walked down from the boat.
"Is this what you want?" Lei Zi said, wiping the sweat on his face.
The people nodded, ignored Lei Zi and the others, and carried the coffin straight onto the boat.
Lei Zi curled his lips: "Hey, who is you? You're so rude!"
I was lying in the coffin and was carried onto an iron boat by several strong men, passing through the deck, and carrying it to the cabin at the bottom. It was pitch black inside and could not see anything.
After putting down the coffin, the strong men retreated.
There was a dead silence in the cabin, and there was no movement for a long time. I secretly wondered, what are these people?
Just as I was about to climb out of the coffin, I suddenly heard footsteps in the cabin and I had to lie back into the coffin.
A light shone in from the hole at the edge of the coffin, and I quickly pressed my eyes on the hole.
Two people walked down from the cabin. In front of him was a thin man, not tall and dark-skinned. He was about forty years old. His skin color was obviously a person who was busy on the water all year round. In the middle of winter, he was only wearing a small vest jacket, revealing his strong arms. There was also a special tattoo on his left arm, like a dark green aquatic plant wrapped around his arms.
The middle-aged man was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and the light was emitted by the oil lamp.
Behind this middle-aged man, an old man, about fifty or sixty years old, short and fat, but wearing a dark blue robe, his feet were almost invisible. He rolled down the stairs like a dark blue ball of flesh, giving people a funny feeling. The most conspicuous feature is that he had two beards on the corner of his mouth, which was very funny, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses were also on his nose. His outfit and appearance were like the pawnshop shopkeeper of the Republic of China.
When you see these two people, they don’t look like ordinary people.
The middle-aged man hung an oil lamp on the wall, and the dim light splashed down, covering the big red coffin.
The middle-aged man said: "Sir Qi, look, this is the fresh local goods that have just been shipped!"
Master Qi walked closer and held up his gold-slide glasses. He suddenly let out a scream, which scared me.
"Master Qi, what's wrong?" the middle-aged man asked hurriedly.
Master Qi looked at the big red coffin in front of him: "Master Kuang, why is this... this big red coffin?"
"Is there anything wrong?" The middle-aged man, known as "Lord Kuang", asked curiously. It seemed that he was a complete layman for funerals.
One person is the master and the other is the hall master. It is indeed a person with a background, but I don’t know what sect they belong to.
Master Qi stroked his beard and said, "Lord Kuang, you don't know that in this funeral custom, it is a taboo to bury a big red coffin. The big red coffin usually contains evil things!"
"Evil things?!" Master Kuang was stunned: "Master Qi, what do you mean is that there are no valuable burial objects in this coffin!"
Master Qi said, "I'm still burial objects, so burn them quickly. If the evil things inside come out, it will be troublesome!"
Bang!
Lord Kuang slapped the coffin heavily and said with anger: "According to what you said, am I being put on by the iron monkey and the groundhog?"
Iron Monkey? Groundhog?
I was slightly stunned and thought for a while. Could the two nicknames mentioned by Lord Kuang refer to the tall and short fat man? After thinking about it carefully, these two nicknames are actually quite compatible with them.
Master Qi said: "Iron Monkey and Groundhog, as professional local masters, they cannot not know about the red ferocious coffin! Even though they know it is a ferocious coffin, they will send it to you with a thorny coffin, according to my opinion, they may be forced to be forced!"
Master Kuang's eyes turned cold: "What? Master Qi, are you scolding me for your own fault?"
Master Qi smiled and said, "No, no, no! Of course, this is not the case! Digging graves and robbing tombs is indeed the fastest way to collect funds. During this period, you have recruited a large number of local masters and almost searched the land in western Hunan. I guess the iron monkey and groundhog really can't find local goods. The deadline you assigned to them is coming soon, so they can only bite the bullet and send you whatever they dig, which can be considered as completing the task!"
I was shocked in the coffin. What did this Lord Kuang want to do? He hired a large number of local masters to raid the ancient tombs in western Hunan. Who is he? What exactly did he want to do? Hearing what the master said, this Lord Kuang wants to raise funds quickly in a short period of time. What did he have to raise so much money?
Lord Kuang cursed in hatred: "A bunch of useless things! Next month is the 60th birthday of the first person. This is the best time for us to take action. Once we miss the opportunity and want to kill the first person, we don't know when we will wait!"
My heart was terrified, I was in the forefront?!
I know that the leader of the sacrificial teaching is the title of the leader of the sacrificial teaching. Could it be that the leader of the sacrificial teaching is actually a person of the sacrificial teaching?
As a hall master, is he conspiring to rebel?
"Secretary Qi, how is the recruitment of soldiers and horses going on?" Master Kuang asked Master Qi, Master Qi should be Master Kuang's military advisor, and must be one of the planners of the assassination this time.
Master Qi said: "The funds are not in place yet, so...so it's a little worse than expected..."
Lord Kuang frowned: "I ordered the local masters to give them to them. No matter what method they use, I must unearth a batch of local goods for me within this month. Otherwise, they would not have thought of living this New Year!"
Master Qi nodded: "Yes! I'll do it later!"
The fierce look like a wild wolf flashed in Lord Kuang's pupils: "Sir Qi, we have planned this matter for so long, and we must not make any mistakes! As long as I become the new vanguard, you are the military advisor, one person, above ten thousand people, and at that time, whatever you want, the entire Yangtze River Basin will belong to us!"
Master Qi laughed in a dark laugh: "I understand! I will personally urge those local masters to work hard. As long as a batch of high-quality local goods are unearthed, I promise to equip you with an excellent team to add weight to our victory in this action!"
"Okay! Master Qi, I'll ask you for this matter! Is this coffin really not opened to take a look?" Master Kuang tapped the lid of the coffin, still a little unwilling to accept it.
Master Qi said: "The big red ferocious coffin must not be opened. This trip will be in vain! Next time I catch the iron monkey and the groundhog, I will definitely deal with them!"
Master Kuang obeyed Master Qi's advice very much: "Master Qi, how to deal with this big red coffin?"
Master Qi held the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "As I said before, carry it out and burn it to prevent future troubles!"
