After a while, I called Fatty Yu again and told him to leave now, urging him to discuss the entrusted matter with Hua Rujin. Fatty Yu felt uncomfortable being alone in Panlong's heart, so he agreed immediately.
About ten minutes later, Fatty Yu called. I was wondering why he was so efficient. Who knew that as soon as I answered the phone, Fatty Yu sighed and said, "Sorry, Miss Huai has left." , can’t find her.”
"ah?"
"I called and asked, and she said that it doesn't matter if you want to bring someone here, but she will only cooperate with you." Fatty Yu said and sighed again, "Brother, based on the experience I have accumulated in the world, she is like this I definitely want to negotiate terms with you."
"Negotiate terms?"
"I helped you with some insinuations, but she's not happy because you rejected her appointment. You need to tell her in person."
"Meet me?" I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself: "It's easy to talk about meeting me, but I'm afraid that Lao Ji's person will be a troublesome person. I heard that he is not a good bird who lent me this time."
"Then do I still have to apologize?"
"I think it's necessary." Fatty Yu clicked his tongue, "However, she doesn't really have the same experience as you. She asked me to tell you to check the email quickly."
"Email? What is it?" I asked confused.
"It's said to be an old photo." Fatty Yu said, "Anyway, that's all I know. I've done all the things I need to do to help, brother. Just come here quickly."
"Okay, okay, I got it!" I said and hung up the phone. I thought to myself, "Photo? Could it be that there are some important clues captured on it? Usually, photos of target tombs like this have been prepared by my subordinates. It seems that this photo is not simple."
I thought about it and turned on my computer and checked my mailbox. Sure enough, Huai Rujin sent another email not long ago, which still contained several photos. At first glance, they looked no different from the photos originally sent. I felt strange at first, but when I saw Huai Rujin in After specifically emphasizing the difference in the message below, I had to take it seriously.
Those were some old photos. They were obviously taken with a digital camera facing the original photos. The angles were not very straight. It was obvious that they were taken in a hurry. There is some reflection on it. I guess the old photo was hung in a glass frame and the environment was relatively dark, so the person who took the photo turned on the flash.
Photos at that time were generally prone to fading, and the photos were so white that details could not be seen clearly. However, it looks like it was taken in an ancient tomb, with a figure standing upright above it.
"Tsk!" I frowned immediately, "Ghost!?"
The figure was quite clear. The figure had his head drooped, waist-length hair hanging down, shoulders slumped, standing upright, making people's hair stand on end.
I immediately opened the last email and carefully compared the photos above. This photo looks like it was taken at the same place as the previous one, but it was taken with a scanner. There is no reflection at all and the angle is right. There is still the ghost figure in the photo, but after careful comparison, it is found that the ghost figure in this photo is wearing a pair of black cloth shoes, while the ghost figure in the previous photo has no feet and is floating in mid-air.
"It seems that this photo has been manipulated, and a pair of feet has been added to make it deliberately fake. I am afraid it is to prevent public opinion and avoid trouble." I analyzed.
"And the old photo in this frame should be the original, which is enough to illustrate the truth of this matter."
If you look carefully, there should be murals on the walls of this tomb, but in the black and white photos, the color blocks are all mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish them. There is a three-arch stone door on the stone wall. Only half of it is captured in the photo, so it is not clear. However, if you look closely, you feel that this scene is a bit familiar. It seems that you have seen it somewhere before, and the impression is quite deep.
"Three consecutive arches?" I murmured to myself, "Didn't I see those in Qu Ping's tomb? In Linqiong?!"
"Impossible? Is it a coincidence?"
I dragged the mouse, and at the end of the email there was a thoughtful message, which read: 1970, Panlongyun River Valley.
"This tomb is still in Yunhe Canyon. It seems that this Yunhe Canyon is really a mysterious place. Some people beat ghosts in the ancient tomb in the 1970s. Think about it and you will see incredible things." I thought. Having already secretly considered the ins and outs of this matter, he forwarded the email to Lao Ji and informed him of his departure.
I set out and headed straight to Lingnan first to pay homage to a senior, the first Gu master in Lingnan, who was known as the "Ghost Lord".
In the land of Lingnan, it seems that an old man who has seen through the world is determined to hide in the mist and mist, so all the past is nowhere to be found, only the setting sun after the clouds gather and the moon is gone, gradually getting darker in the ink. After I got there, I searched according to the address given by Lao Ji, and the process was smoother than expected. The car made many twists and turns in the mountains and then drove into a mountain village. It was a remote and remote area with few households.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, there were basically no driving roads. I got out of the car and asked local people all the way. Not many people in the mountains could understand Mandarin, but they knew I wanted to ask people, so they all pointed to a house on the hillside to the north. .
There is a small river at the foot of the hillside. At the ferry on the other side, several people are walking down the river beach. A fat old lady is walking in front, holding a cane. The setting sun shone on her silver hair, making her look radiant.
Looking from the bottom of the mountain, one can see a very large house. This house must be unusual in this remote mountain village. I thought to myself that since this man has become the Ghost Marquis, his status and status are obviously not ordinary. Hidden worries.
The door was open. I called a few times at the door but no one answered, so I walked in. I looked around and saw that there was no one in the huge house. I was just wondering when suddenly the door of the main hall opened with a bang, and I was completely startled.
"Are you sent by Lao Si?" A sinister but rich voice came from inside.
"Yes, my Excellency, Li Rui, pays you a special visit."
As soon as I finished speaking, a man walked out of the door. He had a short, stiff mustache and a pair of brown eyes sunk deeply into his eye sockets. She has a neat little back hair, which is combed very carefully without any mess. The silvery white hair is clearly visible among the black hair.
"Are you the Ghost Marquis?" I asked softly.
"Kid, stretch out your left hand and let me see."
When I heard that he asked me to hold out my left hand, it was clear that he wanted to verify his identity. I thought that this old man was really shrewd and his tone was very tough. I was afraid he had a very weird temper. But when I saw his unsmiling face, I So I had to do it.
The Ghost Lord has a bronze face and a pair of copper bell-like eyes, staring at me all the time, not angry but powerful. He is tall and thin, with broad shoulders. Although he is over seventy years old, his voice is as powerful as a bell.
I glanced at his chest. He was wearing a neat tunic suit, with a gray-white bone badge pinned to the left watch pocket, showing his identity. He stood tall and straight, energetic, and maintained a majestic demeanor. There were charcoal-like points of light under his eyelids, burning silently.
Lord Gui checked my hand and saw that I didn't have the Dragon Seeking Ring, so he asked, "Where did your ring go?"
"To tell you the truth, the ring is at my dad's place!"
"It seems that what the fourth child said is true. You are really a young child." After hearing what I said, his attitude softened a little.
The Ghost Marquis nodded and said: "Your Fourth Master has already told me about the matter. I will go down the mountain with you this time, but you must remember that going to the grave is not a child's play. No matter how you were in the past, you will do it this time." Follow my arrangements, you know?"
Naturally, I agreed wholeheartedly and said in my heart: "This weird old man really has the temper of an official. Lao Ji said he asked him to take care of me, but why did I listen to his orders instead?"
"I know what you are thinking, kid. Are you not convinced?" Ghost Marquis sneered, "I don't care whether you are the fourth child or not. We in Xunlongmen abide by the principle of respecting elders and juniors. There is no reason to listen to you, a brat. Calling and drinking.”
"Yes, yes, how can I, a junior, dare to command you?"
"Humph, that's the best if you think so. Even if you don't agree in your heart, I still have many ways to make you obey." Lord Guihou smiled coldly again, and then asked: "Are you from the Huo generation? "
I paused and responded: "Exactly, I heard from my grandfather that my original name was Li Xuanrui, and my father had to change it for me."
"The old man's genealogy is in Muzi. Many people who have followed me in the past are also from the Huozi generation. How about this? I'll call them all over tomorrow. You can stay here for one night. Let's pack up and leave."
The characters "fire" and "wood" that are characteristic of our Li family tree were probably invented in my grandfather's generation. At that time, they had five brothers, and they agreed that each family's children would have a name with the five characters of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth as the radicals. And so on. Moreover, each generation of each family can only use one word. For example, my name is Li Xuanrui, and my brother can only use the word Xuan, but my son's generation can no longer use it.
I was still worried that the discussion with Huai Rujin about bringing people here might not be settled. Waiting one more day would mean another accident. The Ghost Marquis could see what was on my mind at a glance and said, "Don't worry about those useless things. With my prestige in the world, I, the Ghost Marquis, might be able to get you to be rejected by that little girl from the Huai family." ?”
"So you know this too?"
"Nonsense." Lord Gui rolled his eyes at him, "Kid, you can tell her whatever you want when the time comes. Don't let people say that we are stingy at Xunlongmen and hide it."
"Master Hou is so courageous!" I quickly flattered him, "With your words, I feel confident."
"Little brat, from now on, I don't think the Marquis is older than the Marquis, but the Marquis is short. The old man is known as the No. 1 Gu in Lingnan. You have to call me Master Gu!"
"Master Gu?" I was stunned and said with a smile, "Yes! Master Gu!"
