Lao Sun and I left the inn and left Xiao Bijing in the inn.
As for her safety...
If the new leader of the Goulan lineage is defeated by a few gangsters, she might as well quit the world.
Lao Sun and I walked along the dark street.
He didn't say anything, and neither did I. I knew that he was probably blaming me in his heart.
After walking about a hundred meters, when the inn was no longer in sight, Old Sun spoke: "Shopkeeper, do you think something happened to the two of them?"
"No."
"Ah?" Lao Sun's tone was joyful, and then he said: "How can you be so sure? Could it be..."
"I arranged it." I looked up at the top of my head and said, "Old Sun, do you still remember that I asked you privately for a pack of evil spirit powder?"
Lao Sun said he remembered.
Then he suddenly came back to his senses: "You mean, the pot of rice cooked by Xiao Wu?"
"That's right, Xiaowu has put the evil spirit into the food. What I want you to do is to use the evil spirit to control them. Because this tomb is unusual and blood may be seen if you are not careful, so I need absolute obedience. ;Besides, even if we can escape smoothly, I can't let them know about us, so there is only one ending for them, can we do it?"
"Yes." Old Sun nodded heavily.
Then he asked me where Xiao Wu and San Er had gone.
I spread my hands and said that I didn’t know, I just let them do whatever they wanted after being poisoned. After all, the two young men didn’t have much power. When I wanted to use any strategy to make a game, it would be easy for them to mess up things if they didn’t understand it. Liu Si and his gang must not stay, but they cannot be allowed to leave either.
The only thing that scares me is who Uncle Lao Gen is with.
Seeing that I was confident, Lao Sun felt a little relieved and asked: "Shopkeeper, Uncle Lao Gen is a very deep man in the city and very capable. My evil Gu may not be able to scare him."
I chuckled: "It's not necessarily, but I definitely can't scare him. The reason why I asked you to come out is to see how Uncle Lao Gen decides. If he chooses to save Liu Si and those people, then we can go our separate ways. If he doesn't remind me Liu Si, that means he plans to get closer to us, then we can give this person some trust."
"If it's the former...Miss Xiao is still in their hands."
"If I don't leave a hostage there, will they trust us to leave like this?"
"Aren't you afraid that she is in danger?"
"The leader of Goulan Sect is not that easy to die." I looked straight ahead and said calmly.
After hearing this, Lao Sun was silent for a while and asked: "Shopkeeper, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
I said, which one of us should talk to the other?
Old Sun said: "You look like you are only 23 or 24 years old, but your methods and thoughts are beyond the reach of even my old Sun. What kind of master can teach a master like you?"
"I'm twenty-five." After saying that, I quickened my pace.
I answered evasively, but Lao Sun was too sensible and didn't ask any further questions.
After walking for a while, a mountain wall in front blocked our way, leaving only two roads on the left and right.
Lao Sunbing and I split into two directions. After reaching the end, we turned back and met here again.
By myself, my steps have sped up a lot. The more than ten years of breathing have allowed me to walk as fast as flying, and I have been able to try to communicate with the warm current called Qi in my body.
It only took me less than five minutes to walk to the end and back.
After waiting for another ten minutes, Lao Sun came back. He said that there was nothing at the end, there was only one way back, and it was more like an urn city, or a fish basket.
By the time we returned to the inn, all the porridge in the basin had been drank.
Everyone was lying in a pile of chatter, rubbing their bellies, except Uncle Gen, who was sitting next to him.
Seeing me coming back, Uncle Gen stopped talking.
I clapped my hands and said, "Everyone, I found a clue about Luomazhuang. There is a large treasure in Luomazhuang. At that time, King Qin Yingzheng wanted to use this treasure to expand military expenditure. It was not an elixir at all."
When the treasure was mentioned, the eyes of Liu Si and others suddenly shone.
Under my leadership, a group of ten of us walked to the end of the street and turned left. Soon we came under a stone monument.
When I shined the flashlight, I saw a rumor about Luomazhuang written in small seal script on the stone tablet. It was said that when the King of Chu was buried, the Chu State poured out all the wealth in the country to be buried with the King of Chu. The King of Qin just wanted to get this treasure at that time.
But the small seal on it was carved by me with a knife. Since there is no light here, it is impossible to tell whether it is new or old by just using a flashlight, so it is not a problem to fool these gangsters.
With the profit, these ruffians immediately became energetic, and the fear in their hearts also disappeared a lot.
With their help in finding the entrance, Lao Sun and I were at ease.
We found another private house near the stone monument and moved in.
As soon as I sat down, Uncle Gen knocked on my door.
I said, "Uncle Gen is here? Sit down quickly."
"Li Shang, these children have no grievances against you, right? Why do you want to be so vicious?"
"What did Uncle Gen say?"
"Zi Gu, you are not a descendant of Li Mu at all, you are from the Southern Sect."
"To be precise, he is." I pointed at Lao Sun, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Then I continued: "Uncle Lao Gen is a smart man. He can see that I am the leader of these people. Liu Si beat my people in person. This grudge must be settled. As for why I let people be poisoned by evil spirits, it is nothing more than that. Two o'clock, Uncle Gen, do you want to listen?"
Uncle Lao Gen didn't say anything and sat silently by the bed with an obvious attitude.
When Lao Sun saw this, he went out.
It's not that he can't listen to the conversation, but I'm worried that walls have ears. When talking about things in the world, I'm most afraid of people with long ears.
As Lao Sun coughed, I knew that there were no ears outside the wall, so I said: "Uncle Lao Gen, first of all, Liu Si and his gang first offered us a 28% share and made us look like fools, and then they beat me." People, it's like slapping me in the face. This grudge must be settled. As I said just now, my teacher told me that the world is not a school. It doesn't pay attention to gentleness, courtesy and thrift. It's just wolves eating meat and dogs eating shit. You can't refute me on this point, right? The second problem is Uncle Lao Gen. We reached an agreement first. I pay you, and you are my employer. How can you vacillate between the employer and an outsider? I asked Lao Sun to bewitch me for the same reason. I want you to make sure you stand in line and don’t let yourself get tricked when the time comes. Again, the world is the world, and we won’t do anything just because you are an elder.”
After hearing this, Uncle Gen looked up and looked straight at me without saying a word.
After a long time, he suddenly said: "I have only seen this kind of grace in Jiang's eldest son."
