Fatty Wang left the teahouse with some doubts. Although he was a little confused about Song Xing's behavior of using copper coins to divine fortunes, he had traveled all over the world for many years and knew that there were many strange people in the world, so he took Song Xing with him with a mentality that he would rather believe them. Cheng came to a house not far from Panjiayuan.
The houses in the 1980s are somewhat old and mottled, with vines covering the walls and spider webs hanging from the eaves.
After Fatty Wang opened the door, he led Song Xing into the courtyard and introduced him, "This is where they two live."
The furnishings in the courtyard are simple and plain, including a bamboo bed, a set of bamboo chairs, and a few woven bamboo baskets with miscellaneous knickknacks in them.
Hearing the footsteps of the two people, the curtain in the inner room suddenly opened, and a man in black clothes poked his head out. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Fatty Wang.
"Fat man, shouldn't you be setting up a stall at this point?"
Fatty Wang had a look of surprise on his face, "Lao Hu, are you really back?"
The man's hair was a little messy and his beard was unkempt, as if he hadn't cleaned himself up for several days. He looked extremely sloppy, but he couldn't hide his handsome facial features.
"You've been traveling all night, and as soon as you get back on your feet, you're here."
Fatty Wang introduced Song Xing into the house with a smile, and then said to Song Xing: "Brother Song, this is the good friend I just mentioned, Hu Bayi. Don't tell me, your divination is really accurate."
After hearing this, Hu Bayi was surprised and said: "What divination?"
Fatty Wang ignored him. Instead, he looked around and asked, "Where's Staff Yang? Didn't he come back with you?"
Hu Bayi said lazily: "I'm going to find the Golden Tooth. I'll be back soon."
Fatty Wang was shocked, "Did you find any clues?"
Hu Bayi did not speak, but looked at Song Xing, waiting for Fatty Wang's introduction.
Fatty Wang patted his forehead and quickly introduced: "Brother Song is willing to pay 10 million to ask a few of us brothers to come out and do something."
When he said this, Fatty Wang turned his back to Song Xing and winked at Hu Bayi.
Hu Bayi was a little confused. He didn't know why the fat man was crazy, but years of tacit understanding allowed him to naturally pick up the conversation and ask, "What's the matter?"
He was also tempted by the price of 10 million, but he was not a fat man. The fact that the other party could offer this price meant that things were definitely not that easy to handle.
Song Xing looked at some simple furniture in the room and said, "You are a guest, don't you want me to sit down?"
Fatty Wang quickly brought the chair. After Song Xing sat down, he looked at Hu Bayi, thought for a while, and said, "I need to find something to remove the curse on my body, and I need your professional skills."
"Curse?" Hu Bayi finally understood why the fat man looked so strange.
After he, Fatty, and Shirley Yang explored the ancient country of Jingjue, they found three inexplicable marks on their bodies. According to Professor Chen, these were the marks left by the curse after seeing the ghost cave in the tomb of Queen Jingjue. .
If the curse cannot be lifted as soon as possible, it will be used as a sacrifice to the ancient demon kingdom and disappear into the void space.
For this reason, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang went to Gulan County to find the key to lifting the curse, the whereabouts of the Muchen Bead.
However, the treasures taken from the tomb of Queen Jingjue had long been spent, so during these days, the two of them had been running around, trying to find all the items to lift the curse.
"Brother Song, I'm afraid we can't help you with this." Hu Bayi said calmly, ignoring Fatty Wang's desperate winks.
Song Xing frowned, "You might as well tell me what difficulties you have."
Hu Bayi thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "Actually, Fatty and I can't protect ourselves, so we really don't have the energy to help you find what you want."
After speaking, he revealed his shoulder, and a round eye-shaped mark on it was vividly printed on his body.
After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Fatty Wang suddenly felt the urge to scold his mother, but he had no choice but to shut his mouth because these words were indeed the truth.
Song Xing pondered for a moment and seemed to have an idea: "What do you mean, you have found a way to lift the curse?"
Hu Bayi said: "There are indeed some clues, but the road ahead is difficult and it will take a lot of effort to find them."
Although money is good, it is not as important as your own life.
Song Xing saw Hu Bayi's resolute attitude, so he said: "It doesn't matter, I can hire you first. Since you and I both want to lift the curse, even if the antiquities you are looking for have no effect on my mark, maybe I can find it." Similarities.”
He knew that Hu Bayi and the others were going to search for the Muchen Bead, and finally they would sacrifice themselves in the Ghost Cave of the Kunlun Temple to resolve their mark.
Since he knew that this world was a world where ghosts blew out lanterns, he understood why Jade Seal had said before that the degree of danger in this world was unknown.
Without touching certain taboos, no one in this world could harm him, but at the same time, there were real ancient gods in this world.
If those ancient gods who had lived for countless billions of years came to this world, they would not be something he could easily resist.
Following Hu Bayi and others to visit the ancient tomb, looking for the secrets of this world, and finding a way to remove the mark on his body is the best way he can think of at the moment.
"Hire?" Hu Bayi hesitated.
Song Xing nodded and said: "Don't worry, the remuneration will never be worse than what you are getting now. I just hope that you can provide me with more detailed information and use your professional skills to let me know where I can encounter these things."
Hu Bayi thought for a while, and finally agreed to Song Xing's request. After all, Song Xing's conditions were not excessive, and the captain had to live if he touched gold.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Song Xing took out the Tianhuang stone seal and handed it to Hu Bayi, saying, "This is the deposit. If you need any equipment, you can purchase it directly."
Fatty Wang's eyes lit up, he quickly reached out to take the seal, and said with a smile: "No problem, brother, don't worry, the credibility of the three of us is absolutely nothing to say. Whatever you want, we will do it for you. .”
Hu Bayi glared at the fat man angrily, wondering if this guy could be any more snobbish.
Song Xing also smiled and said, "In that case, let's have a happy cooperation."
The three of them shook hands, and Fatty Wang stood up and said, "But Brother Song, you are so happy to give us the jade like this, aren't you afraid that we will run away?"
Song Xing looked at him with a half-smile, and then said: "So I decided to live here with you. Wherever you go, I will go."
Fatty Wang was startled and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, no... my place is old and dilapidated, how can I let you, the sponsor, live here."
Song Xingdan smiled faintly, interrupted the fat man and said, "If you say that, do I think you want to take the money and run away?"
Fatty Wang coughed dryly and said awkwardly: "What about that, Brother Song, if you don't mind it, then you can live here."
Hu Bayi had been looking at Song Xing carefully, watching him hand over the Tianhuang stone seal to him with such confidence. He also knew something about jade, and he knew that the seal was worth a lot after handling it for a while.
But Song Xing threw this treasure worth millions and tens of millions to them so casually, as if he was throwing a stone. This kind of heroism made Hu Bayi even more curious about Song Xing's origins.
Song Xing stood up and looked around, and said to Fatty Wang very familiarly: "Fat man, give me some money. I'm going to buy some daily necessities. It seems like you have nothing here."
Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he took out a stack of scattered banknotes from his pocket and said, "You are such a rich boss, why do you still need me to pay for things?"
Song Xing grabbed all his money unceremoniously, "I gave you the valuables I had, but now that I am penniless, I will eat and live on yours."
Fatty Wang thought of the seal worth tens of millions of dollars in his hand, and immediately patted his chest proudly, "No matter how much it costs, Fatty, I'll take care of it."
Seeing Song Xing Shi Ran walking out, Fatty Wang turned around and saw Hu Bayi still staring at the door. He stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?"
Hu Bayi shook his head and asked in a low voice, "What is his background?"
Fatty Wang shook his head in confusion: "I didn't tell you, I just met him in Panjiayuan. He said that when his ancestors were in the Tang Dynasty, they encountered something unknown in Lishan Mountain and was cursed, so they came here to find a way to break the curse. But he recognized my gold-touching talisman. He also has the art of divination with copper coins, and he should also have two brushes."
After saying that, he patted the fat on his belly and stared out the door thoughtfully: "Are you planning to trick us into going to Lishan Mountain to steal the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?"
Hu Bayi turned to look at him and said, "If you are really asked to steal the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, will you do it?"
Fatty Wang looked at the jade seal in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "We'll take a look at the details when Staff Yang comes back."
