Chapter 49: The Great Stone Statue: The Old Taoist and the God of Killing
When the old Taoist sat on the big stone statue, the mountain ghost stopped asking for his life?
This thing sounds mysterious.
"If a man comes to the mountains, he will be taken away by Xili and his daughter."
"It's easy to smile at the same time, and I admire you for being so graceful and graceful."
"..."
Liu Hongyi seemed to be chanting with some expectation, and then looked at Jiang Chaoge: "Brother Jiang, do you think we can see the mountain ghost when we pass by the big stone statue?"
"Do you want to meet?" Jiang Chaoge.
"Of course I have some thoughts. It is said that this mountain ghost is an extremely beautiful woman. If I can see her... I will have no regrets in this life."
Then you are very brave!
Jiang Chaoge gave Liu Hongyi a thumbs up in his heart. No wonder some stories about ghosts and ghosts always like to write about people and ghosts, and there is indeed a demand for it.
"After eating, the old man is going to sail!"
Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, the old man started rowing the boat.
…
Huai'an County.
At the gate of the county government office.
County Magistrate Zhou is finally back.
But compared with the Magistrate Zhou in his memory, the magistrate looked extremely haggard at this time, and he obviously suffered a lot in prison.
Jiang Chaoge took Zhang Shitou and others to welcome them out.
"Erlang, it's really thanks to you this time."
County Magistrate Zhou forced a smile on his face when he saw Jiang Chaoge.
When he was released, he heard that it was Jiang Erlang who recovered the disaster relief money and saved his life. Moreover, he entered the Night Reconnaissance Department and became a Bronze Banner.
"You're welcome, County Magistrate." Jiang Chaoge replied.
"What is your name, county magistrate? Between you and me, just call me uncle." Magistrate Zhou waved his hand and said, "Where is Jiao'er? Why don't you see her come out?"
It turns out that County Magistrate Zhou didn't know about Zhou Jiao'er? Jiang Chaoge felt a little sad in his heart, but still said: "Jiao'er... fell into the river and died."
"Wha...what?!"
Magistrate Zhou's eyes were bloodshot, then his eyes turned black and he fainted.
County Magistrate, please don't faint yet... When Jiang Chaoge saw Magistrate Zhou fall to the ground, he could only call out: "Shitou, get some cold water quickly."
After a while, Magistrate Zhou woke up leisurely.
As soon as he woke up, he cried out sadly: "My poor dear son, why did you leave to become a father first? Where is the madam? Is the madam going to give birth? Where is she now?"
"My wife also died in childbirth." This was what Zhang Shitou said.
"Wha...what?!"
Magistrate Zhou rolled his eyes again and fainted again.
Just don't get dizzy in a hurry... Jiang Chaoge spread his hands.
So, after struggling for a while, Magistrate Zhou woke up again.
"Jiao'er is gone...Madam is gone too...then why do I, Zhou Yong, still live in this world?"
It looked like he was ready to die.
Jiang Chaoge said directly: "Uncle, you have a daughter."
"Daughter?!" Magistrate Zhou suddenly woke up: "What...what daughter...is she a madam?"
"Well, Madam gave birth to a baby girl!"
"Quick, take me to see it!"
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Magistrate Zhou carried A Li out of the inner hall.
"My daughter, my daughter!"
He hugged A Li tightly because this was his last hope for living. He did not dislike the birthmark on A Li's face. He lowered his head and kept kissing A Li's face.
Sure enough, parental love is the most selfless in the world.
Jiang Chaoge thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I named her A Li."
"A Li? Shang Farewell... Good, what a good name!" Magistrate Zhou nodded and looked at Jiang Chaoge's night patrol clothes: "Erlang, you have a bright future, and my uncle wishes you the best. However, after this incident, I
I no longer have the intention to serve as an official, and I plan to resign and go into seclusion once this matter is over."
"Okay." Jiang Chaoge did not dissuade him, but just said: "I suspect that the real person behind this bank robbery is the Lexin Hou Mansion. My uncle should know something about the Lexin Hou Mansion, right?"
Magistrate Zhou had the idea of going into seclusion.
Jiang Chaoge was not worried that County Magistrate Zhou would notify the Lexin Hou Mansion in advance.
Moreover, the silver robbery case killed Magistrate Zhou’s daughter and wife, so there was no possibility of informing the Lexin Hou Mansion.
"Le...Le Xinhou?!" Magistrate Zhou was obviously very surprised.
"Um!"
"Okay! However, after all, I am just a county magistrate, and I don't know much. I can only tell you what I know, but you must be extremely careful."
"Uncle, don't worry, I have someone above me."
"..."
…
After leaving the county government office.
Jiang Chaoge went straight to the Night Detective Department.
Ji Ruxue, Liang Wan'er and Liang Ping'an were already waiting at the door.
A group of people and two carriages.
Before the sun sets out of the city gate, we rush to Lingyang County.
…
And at the same time.
On the Qing River, the passenger ship also passed the water mouth and arrived in front of the big stone statue.
This is not a Buddha statue, but a huge stone statue of a general, carved from a huge stone on the river bank.
The stone statue has big eyes and a terrifying murderous aura between its brows. It is covered with carved armor and holds a long stone halberd. It is a typical "terracotta warriors and horses".
Jiang Chaoge looked at the big stone statue in front of him, and he was still a little shocked. It was ten feet tall and covered in gray. He didn't know how much manpower was spent on it?
"Who does this stone statue represent?"
"General Qin Bai Qi."
"Killing God?"
After hearing the conversation between Liu Hongyi and others, Jiang Chaoge felt even more shocked.
This world is obviously different from the Qin Dynasty in history, but some characters overlap with the previous world, such as: Qu Yuan, Bai Qi...
Of course, there is also the ascended First Emperor!
Jiang Chaoge had some vague guesses, but he wasn't sure yet.
At this moment, he heard Liu Hongyi shout again: "Brother Jiang, look! The old Taoist on the belly of the stone statue... there is really an old Taoist!"
Jiang Chaoge looked in the direction of Liu Hongyi's finger.
There is a stone-carved belt tied around the waist of the Baiqi stone statue, and as expected, there is a person sitting on the belt.
However, the appearance of the old Taoist could no longer be seen, only a Taoist robe on the old Taoist's body could be seen. However, the robe was already covered with thick dust, as well as some branches and dead leaves that had fallen from the mountain.
Dust and dead leaves covered his body.
The old Taoist man just sat cross-legged on the belly of the stone statue, motionless, as if he had merged with the white stone statue.
"Sit for a year without eating or drinking!"
Who is this person?
Jiang Chaoge felt inexplicably impulsive and wanted to take a look at the big stone statue. After all, only an immortal could do such a weird thing, right?
"I wonder where that mountain ghost is?" Liu Hongyi raised his eyes and looked around: "Boatman, is that mountain ghost wandering among the mountains and forests? Why can't I see it?"
"Young Master is joking. If you could see it, would you still call it a mountain ghost?" The old man smiled, put down his right hand, and pointed to the top of the big stone statue: "I only heard that the mountain ghost is at sunset.
After that, I would occasionally sit on top of the stone statue to see if there were any beautiful boys passing by."
"What would happen if I saw it?" Liu Hongyi asked again.
"Then how do I know? I've never seen it, haha." The old man said with a smile.
"The sun is about to set. Old man, why don't you stop for a while and take a look. If you can really see the mountain ghost, it will be a great experience in your life!"
"You don't dare to stop randomly, and even if you really have to stop, you have to listen to the opinions of other boat passengers, right?" The old man did not stop paddling.
"Two taels of silver, the old man only needs to stop for two quarters of an hour, that's all!" Liu Hongyi took out the silver.
"This..." The old man looked at the other boat passengers.
The merchant was the first to speak: "We are all on our way, and our time is precious. How can we stay here for nothing? Master, it is better not to think about the mountain ghost and leave here as soon as possible."
"Everyone here has two taels of silver per person!" Liu Hongyi gritted his teeth and took out a few more taels of silver.
"Okay, I have no objection." The merchant immediately compromised.
"Okay." The heroine also nodded.
The woman then looked at the baby in her arms: "Does my baby count?"
