Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Water Source is 300,000
This person is none other than Xiaojun, who fought side by side with us in Heizhugou some time ago and then sneaked out of the hospital.
Wearing a white bathrobe, he has a thin figure and an indifferent expression. There are several scary scars exposed on his open chest. Beside him, there are four strong men of the "Crab" type, all of whom are burly.
The man in charge of the muscular group had a flowing black beard under his chin. Xiaojun walked past us barefoot, and did not notice that there were two old acquaintances in the mist-shrouded pool next to him, speaking in a surprised tone.
Her eyes looked at him vaguely.
At this time, Xiaojun was completely different from the panicked young man in Heizhugou.
He has lost weight, his cheeks are sunken, and there is a layer of fine down on his lips. Although he is not looking at us, he gives people a sharp impression, just like Wu Jing, the cold-blooded killer in "Slaying the Wolf". Next to him
A man who was only 1.6 meters tall, shaped like a tank, glanced at us lying shirtless in the white mist. His eyes were fierce, showing the anger of hatred.
To him, we were all just passers-by, so we walked by in a hurry. Cao Yanjun looked at the strange expressions on Zamao Xiaodao and I's faces, and asked: "We know each other? This group of people is quite murderous. Is there something big going to happen here today?"
We have no enmity with Xiaojun and the others, and we even have a friendship to save each other, so naturally they are not here for us.
Who is that? I suddenly remembered the jade talisman engraved with the "Purifying Heart Charm" on Xiaojun's neck. It seemed to have some connection with this place. I turned around and asked Zamao Xiaodao. He recalled it for a while and suddenly realized,
It is said that Li Tangcheng once said that the jade talisman was invited from Taoist Qingxu of Longhu Mountain. Isn't this Taoist Qingxu the one we are looking for? This world is really too coincidental.
ah?
It was indeed a coincidence, but why did Xiaojun and the others show up here with murderous intent?
I told the identities of these people to Cao Yanjun, who was standing next to him with a confused look on his face. He smiled and said that they turned out to be a group of armed peasants. Let me tell you, if they were killers, there would be such obvious murderous intent, compared to passers-by like us.
It's the same as A, so it's easier to do things. There are specialties in the art, so it can be understood, and it can be understood.
Xiaojun's sudden appearance disrupted our plan. It was obvious that they also came here to look for Qingxu. If we could lure that guy out through them, that would be great.
Although this hot spring pool is full of comfort, it can't resist our curiosity, so Zamao Xiaodao and I left Lao Cao behind, followed the footsteps of these people, stopped far away, turned a corner, and saw this
The five of us did not continue moving forward, but found a pool and soaked in it. There was a small pool next to this pool, separated by a screen made of stones. We walked around to the other side and slowly entered the pool.
, then straightened up his ears and began to eavesdrop.
A gloomy voice sounded: "...Xiaojun, you, Mr. Douzi, Uncle Tang, and the others were here last time and bumped into Taoist Priest Qingxu?"
Xiaojun replied, yes, Brother Yang, that guy likes to talk naked and face to face in this bath. The last time he bought the jade charm and paid the deposit, it was all settled here.
"Hmph!" A rough voice sounded, saying Xiaojun, you were too careless last time. Why didn't you ask the nearby villagers before fighting? In such a dangerous place, only six brothers came back.
You alone, even the two bosses, Mr. Douzi and Uncle Tom, are dead, you, you...
"Luo Li, didn't I tell you that the death of Mr. Douzi and the others had nothing to do with Xiaojun! If he hadn't met the group of experts that Xiaojun mentioned, he would definitely not have come back. Everything was a result of Qing's death.
That old bastard set a trap for us. He knew clearly that the place was a dangerous place, and even gave them a huge deposit and nonsense information to trick them into stealing the King of Han's barefoot double-eared cauldron, leaving no bones behind.
Cun. As long as we, the Seventeen Arhats of Yubeitang, have one leader left, we must avenge this grudge. Don't speak for a while, and just obey my orders..."
"Yes, Brother Yang!"
Three or four jagged sounds sounded, and we finally knew the whole story.
The reason why Li Tangcheng and the others appeared in Heizhugou was actually because of Qingxu's instigation.
All this is too coincidental, right?
But as the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. I quite appreciate their persistent spirit of revenge, but it would be better not to delay our serious mission of rescuing Little Demon Duoduo. Xiaojun, Brother Yang, and the other five people stopped talking.
Zamao Xiaodao and I waited patiently. After a while, we saw a man with a thick beard walking slowly from the west and passed in front of us. Then we heard the pool swaying over there, and they all seemed to get up.
He turned around, and then Brother Yang's solemn voice came: "Who are you?"
The bearded man sat down and introduced himself, saying that he was sent by Taoist Priest Qingxu to contact them.
Brother Yang asked: "Why doesn't Taoist Master Qingxu come over in person?"
The bearded man replied: "Taoist Priest has some urgent matters to deal with recently, and he can't get away. Have you brought the King of Han's barefoot double-eared cauldron? If so, I will inspect the goods, and then talk to you about the exchange of jade talismans and the payment of sufficient funds."
It's about the full payment." Brother Yang replied no, of course he wouldn't carry such an important thing with him; besides, they only believed in Taoist Master Qingxu, and other people, to put it bluntly, they didn't dare to take risks, after all
It was all in exchange for one's life.
The bearded man's voice became deeper and he said: "I heard that the Taoist priest expressed his apologies for what happened to Mr. Douzi and Lao Li. We will increase the total price by 20% as a pension for your brothers."
Jin. I can understand your mood, but the dead are dead, and the living must continue to live. In three days, the hot spring resort will be closed. There will be a careful trade fair at the izakaya venue. The Taoist priest will appear at that time to talk to you.
Direct transaction. I will give you a few bamboo chips here, and you can just come over when the time comes. Farewell!"
After the guy finished talking, he got up and left. When he passed by the pool in front of us, he glanced sideways at me and Zamao Xiaodao who were squinting in enjoyment in the pool, and then walked away slowly. I watched this guy disappear into the white mist.
He turned the corner of the wooden house and tried his best to get as close to the corner of the stone screen as possible to prevent Xiaojun from recognizing him.
Sure enough, after receiving a confirmed answer, Xiaojun and others got up and got out of the pool, and then left the hot spring area.
I leaned against the stone screen to prevent Xiaojun from seeing the rippling hot spring water on my chest. Suddenly, I saw a trace of red blood floating in the transparent water. A very small trace of blood.
The group disappeared without a trace with the surge of water. Apparently Zamao Xiaodao also saw it. He shrugged his nose and asked, did you smell the rotten and bloody smell of corpses?
I sniffed hard, and what filled my nostrils was the smell of sulfur mixed in the hot spring water. How could there be such things as those mentioned in the gossip?
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Zamao Xiaodao suppressed his blush and cooed, and several white water bubbles immediately appeared between the two of us. The bubbles burst as soon as they surfaced, and I immediately stepped back and covered them.
His nose wanted to curse, but he solemnly stretched out his left hand and grabbed it in the air, as if he wanted to hold the smell. An astonishing change occurred, the invisible gas turned into cyan, and there seemed to be white.
Air currents tumble.
Zamao Xiaodao shot the gas forward, and unexpectedly outlined a wind-blown arrow in the steaming pool.
I was very surprised and asked, "What is this? There is such a magical trick in the world?"
Zamao Xiaodao smiled awkwardly and said that this was the technique of drawing talismans in the air taught by his old man Li Daozi. He used the energy of grain reincarnation to correct the trajectory of the dead energy and find ghosts. This technique of drawing talisman in the air was very mysterious and magical. I
I can't be sure, it's just a flash of light occasionally. Come on, there must be something fishy here, let's go and take a look.
Zamao Xiaodao got up and got out of the pool, while I mumbled to myself about this guy. Could it be that the so-called inspiration only comes when he farts?
This is really going to make the world laughable.
The hot spring water flows down from the top and passes through more than twenty pits. It is a long flow back and forth with countless bright and dark lines. The mixed hair trail followed the instructions of the volley-drawing talisman just now and took me straight, crossing small bridges and running water.
Passing over the resort-style wooden houses, the sky was dim and warm yellow lights lit up everywhere in the fog, and we arrived in front of a reinforced concrete structure building.
This is the hot spring control room. Although the slogan outside is that the hot spring water is natural and pure, it is actually boiled.
The door of the control room was tightly closed and could not be opened. There was someone inside, so it was difficult for us to break in. I rolled my eyes and called the fat insect who had been there for a long time. Although the little guy never sent a message back to me,
But once summoned, he rushed back within a minute.
I pointed my hand, and the little guy immediately penetrated through the door lock. Zamao Xiaodao and I stepped back and waited against the wall of the corridor. I entered a meditative state and communicated with the Golden Silkworm Gu's vision.
The entrance is filled with the usual machines, switches, gates and various thick pipes found in computer rooms, as well as some electronic instruments and computers for temperature monitoring. This is not a boiler room, but the control center of the entire hot spring, which is very ordinary.
, two men wearing navy blue overalls were looking at the data on the monitor, and one was still playing with his mobile phone. It was very common, nothing different.
However, when the scene changed, Fatty, who was very sensitive to the smell of blood, immediately found something abnormal. He passed through a small door on the side and saw a red dead baby suspended in the huge adding pool behind the central control room.
, curled up with a black hemp rope tied around his neck, rippling with the waves like a little mouse.
