I followed Director Wang to a steamed bun shop. I come to this steamed bun shop often, but because it was still too early, no one came to buy food yet.
Director Wang seemed to be quite familiar with the boss. He said hello to the boss, ordered some food, and then took me to sit in a corner.
I looked around and saw no one around, so I whispered, "Director Wang, what's going on? It's so urgent. Please tell me."
Director Wang had a troubled look on his face and whispered: "That's right, my brother suddenly disappeared when he was returning to our hometown two days ago."
"Is someone missing? You should go find the police. What are you looking for me for?" I asked strangely.
"No, this matter is very strange. There is no point in calling the police. I am just a younger brother, so you must find a way to save him." After speaking, Director Wang became anxious.
I saw that Director Wang was indeed anxious. It seemed that his brother was very important to him, so he asked: "Why is it useless to call the police? What is the weird method?"
"My brother recorded a voice message before he disappeared and sent it to me. I thought it was a prank at first, but I didn't expect that he really disappeared."
"Recording? Let me listen." I suddenly became curious.
"After dinner later, go to my office and I'll let you listen. It's not convenient here. By the way, can you also call Brother Li? The price is easy to discuss, as long as you can save my brother."
Director Wang said.
After hearing this, I nodded and called Li Mingyao. I didn't explain the details in detail. I just asked him to come to our bun shop as soon as possible.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Li Mingyao arrived slowly. Director Wang and I had just finished eating. Director Wang anxiously dragged us both into his office, closed the door, and turned on the computer.
Turning on the computer, I saw Director Wang tinkering for a while, and then a man's whimpering voice came from the speaker: "The red inn, there is a lot of money in it, I don't know why I came in, but it's completely different inside. Come out
There are a lot of people here. These things want to kill me. Brother, you must come and save me. The location of this inn I saw is..." A busy tone came from behind.
Li Mingyao and I looked at each other, and then we disappeared. Where was the last place? I could hear that the man's voice sounded like he was scared, as if he had seen something terrible. I said to Li Mingyao: "Old Li, do you hear that?"
What’s wrong?”
Li Mingyao frowned and said, "It's very strange. Listen carefully again. When this man was talking, someone was laughing next to him."
Director Wang listened to what Li Mingyao said and played it again. Sure enough, we didn't pay attention at first and just listened to this person's voice. But now when we listened carefully, we found a lot of weird laughter, including children, old people, women,
The laughter sounded even weirder.
Li Mingyao dragged his chin and thought for a while, then said, "If I guess correctly, your brother must have met the Red Gate Inn."
"Red Gate Inn?" I asked strangely.
Li Mingyao said seriously: "Yes, this is what I saw in an ancient book. I don't know if it is true. If it is, it will be troublesome."
"According to records, the last time the Red Gate Inn appeared was in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that a court official went to Beijing overnight. In the middle of the night, he wanted to rest but could not find a place to stay. However, at this time he discovered an inn. This
The exterior of the inn was all blood red, and inside there were singing and dancing, and there were many beauties. Then the court official took more than thirty servants inside, and the more than thirty people never came out again. Only one servant was outside to look after the carriage and did not go in, so he escaped.
Live through a calamity.”
"So powerful? Then my brother is dead, isn't he?" Director Wang cried.
I couldn't bear to see it and wanted to say something, but Li Mingyao quietly pulled me and gave me a wink. I understood this. Li Mingyao had told me before. Although we
His duty is to conquer demons and monsters, but the premise is that he must do things within his own power. However, when encountering things that he cannot control, it is best not to touch them, otherwise he will have to leave them there.
I could only sigh helplessly, but I thought of a person, Taoist Qingfeng. He is so powerful, so he must have a way, so I said to Director Wang: "Director Wang, I know a person who is very powerful.
, may be able to help you, but his charges are quite expensive."
Director Wang was crying like a tearful person. When he heard that there was hope, he immediately said: "Money is not a problem, as long as I can save my brother, please contact him immediately. This matter cannot be delayed."
I nodded and took out my cell phone, found Taoist Qingfeng's number and broadcast it.
"Hey, Xiao Jiuzi, have you encountered something that can't be solved again and want to see me?" Taoist Qingfeng asked over the phone.
He really knows me very well. If nothing happens, I might call him as a big man, or talk to him?
"Brother Qingfeng, how are you doing recently? I've run into a little trouble. Can Brother Qingfeng come and help me? I can tell you the price." I said with a smile. You can't beat around the bush with an old bastard like him.
Just say it directly.
"Well, where is it? I'm visiting Chongqing. If you're in a hurry, I'll come over right away." Taoist Qingfeng said.
I was very happy when I heard that Chongqing was very close to Chengdu. I said to Taoist Qingfeng: "I'm in Chengdu. I'd better take the phone to my employer and talk to you."
After saying that, I handed the phone to Director Wang. After taking it, Director Wang started talking with Taoist Qingfeng, probably about some price issues.
Li Mingyao and I started chatting. Of course Li Mingyao asked me who was on the other side of the phone, so I told him it was an old bastard from Longhu Mountain.
Later, after Director Wang made a phone call, he told us that Taoist Qingfeng should be here this afternoon. I was also very happy. After all, Taoist Qingfeng had helped me twice, and I still had a good impression of him.
Immediately afterwards, I took Li Mingyao around with us. He had grown up on Maoshan since he was a child. He had never read a book and was actually very curious about school.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Director Wang called me and wanted us to pick up Taoist Qingfeng together. I did not postpone it.
Director Wang and Li Mingyao, I stood at the station waiting for Taoist Qingfeng. Taoist Qingfeng arrived at about 4:30. He was still dressed in fashionable clothes and wearing sunglasses. He saw me as soon as he came out and walked towards us.
Came over.
However, when he came to us, he did not say hello to me or Director Wang. Instead, he looked at Li Mingyao, frowned and said, "Are you a disciple of Maoshan?"
"Yes, you are the senior of Longhu Mountain, you are polite here." Li Mingyao said and bowed to Qingfeng Taoist like ancient etiquette.
Taoist Qingfeng looked straight at Li Mingyao for about ten seconds and said: "You guys in Maoshan are getting better and better, and you actually use this method, huh."
Taoist Qingfeng's face was full of displeasure, which made me feel strange. I wanted to ask something but it didn't feel right.
Li Mingyao was shocked when he saw Qingfeng talking to someone like this, and said: "You have to obey the orders of your master, hey."
"You can take care of this on your own. You have to believe in the word karma. Remember!"
I felt more and more mysterious about these two people, so I handed Taoist Qingfeng a cigarette and asked, "Brother Qingfeng, what's going on? Tell me."
"Kid, don't worry about so much. Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing." Taoist Qingfeng said sternly. After saying that, he ignored Li Mingyao and me, and started talking to Director Wang instead.
Instead, I asked Li Mingyao: "Old Li, what on earth are you talking about? Why do I always feel like you two have some kind of secret? Do you two have a homosexual relationship?"
"You idiot, I will naturally say it when I want to say something. Let's settle the matter at hand first." After that, he ignored me.
I scratched my hair and thought about it, but I still couldn't figure it out. The main reason was that these two were so good at pretending to be mysterious. At first, I didn't know, but now I always feel that there is some secret that I don't know, but I want to know.
