At the fifth o'clock in the morning, at the darkest time of winter night, three figures appeared silently on a deserted and gloomy hill. Around them were undulating graves of varying sizes, with crooked banners inserted into the wind. The wind was so sad that the Chuwu was whispering, making people shudder and goosebumps all over.

"Where is this?" It was the voice of Shan Sect.

“Mass Treasure!”

Shanzong suddenly stopped and said tremblingly: "Zuo Langjun, I'm afraid of ghosts!"

Another black shadow was Zuo Qiong, who said, "You are not afraid of killing people, are you afraid of death?"

"The dead are not afraid of ghosts!"

The third black shadow laughed and said, "Zi Wu said that the strange powers are in chaos. You are the descendant of the Shan clan, and you have been a Confucian scholar for generations. Why do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"

"Of course! If there is no ghost, why does Confucianism attach importance to sacrifice?" Shanzong looked around and whispered: "The Analects of Confucius say, 'Sacrifice of ghosts is like ghosts, and sacrifice of gods is like gods'. The saints are very pious to ghosts and gods!"

Gui Tonggui, which means ancestors, Confucius has always been more contradictory to ghosts and gods, and he values ​​their value, but ignores the essence, or believes that ghosts and gods are illusory existences, and should not devote too much energy and time to pursue them.

"The sacrifice means to be loyal, faithful, and respectful. In a gentleman, he thinks that humanity is the way, and in a common people, he thinks that ghost things are!" The black shadow said with ridicule, "The sage sets Confucian etiquette to make future generations miss their ancestors and not forget their roots. It is not that he thinks that their ancestors still live in a place where living people cannot go, so a gentleman just does the way of humanity, but the foolish people regard them as ghosts!"

Shanzong took a breath and said, "Mr. He Langjun, what you said is reasonable, but I am still afraid!"

He Ru, the weird guy who can have a long speech in a place like Yaxing, was the only one who could publish a long speech in a place like Mass Treasure. He smiled and said, "You are not afraid of ghosts, but you have ghosts in your heart, so you are not brave enough. Do less bad things in the future and cultivate a righteous spirit, and you will never invade ghosts and gods!"

Shanzong was wandering among the pirates in the sea of ​​the sea and did some shameful things. How could he really be worthy of his heart when he dreamed at midnight? He did not refute, and for the first time he realized He Ru's words were like a knife. He couldn't help but ask, "Hangjun, have you never done anything wrong in your life?"

"No!"

He Ru answered firmly without any hesitation, and said, "I live for an ultimate goal, and I do whatever I do, I go up to heaven and earth, or feel ashamed of others, but I have no regrets!"

Shanzong was speechless. He didn't think that someone could be so calm, but he didn't know why he believed He Ru's words. He was mixed up for a moment and stood there blankly. When Zuo Qi found the tomb, he turned around and shouted, then woke up.

"It's here?"

"Yes, what the Winter Solstice said, the fourth one in the three rows of left hand was inserted, with wooden monuments on it, and a circle of gravels was built, which was slightly worse than the tomb next to it."

"Since you have found it, then dig it!"

Shanzong was about to take action with the iron turtle, and He Ru stopped him and said, "Start from the southeast, that is the gate of life. This person died with resentment before his life. It is difficult to calm his hatred without the gate of life. You dig from the gate of death, be careful to dig out a ghost!"

Although the Yin Fu technique only has four phases, it covers everything. He Ru is very proficient in Feng Shui and Bagua Burial Sutra Qingwu. When Shanzong was frightened by him, his body trembled. He spitted three times in a row and said, "Good luck, good luck!"

The permafrost soil of the tomb is as hard as iron. Fortunately, it was not buried deep. Zuo Qi and Shanzong are also very skilled in martial arts. After digging for half an hour, they saw the body. There was no coffin, but they were just wrapped in bamboo mats and thrown in. Not long after, they had not completely rotted, and the scars on their bodies were vaguely visible.

"Is it him? The five hundred talisman generals of Tianshidao?" Shanzong leaned his head and looked at it, covered his nose with disgust, and said, "It smells so smelly!"

"Pull it out!"

Zuo Qi jumped in, held the bamboo mat and jumped out, lay it flat on the ground, and said, "It's indeed Huang Qi's body!"

He Ru stuffed his nose with the prepared cloth, put on special gloves, and carefully checked it from head to toe, but no physical defects or obvious marks were found, and said, "Is there anything special about you?"

Shanzong thought for a while, suddenly showed a vulgar expression and said, "Does internal hemorrhoids count?"

"Cough...cough..."

Zuo Qi coughed twice, turned his head and didn't dare to look at He Ru's expression. He Ru turned Huang Qi's body over, checked the Po Sect, and said lightly: "Do you want to cure it?"

Shanzong knew that He Ru had great supernatural powers and might be able to treat this disease. He said ecstaticly: "I think, of course, I wonder, does your husband have a prescription?"

"Have you read the Lie Yuko in Zhuangzi? The wonderful recipe is in it!"

Shanzong is a Confucian scholar. He has been reading the Five Classics since he was a child. He was not interested in Laozi and Zhuangzi. He was unable to understand what He Ru meant for a while. He asked a few questions afterwards, but he couldn't figure it out. He thought about it and went back later and immediately found a book to read it.

Zuo Qiong looked at He Ruzheng seriously and did not miss a suspicious place. He couldn't help asking: "That...that internal hemorrhoids have no effect? ​​Zhu Lingbo couldn't know..."

"That's not necessarily! They spent so many days together day and night, maybe when the Shanzong had revealed any flaws but did not know them! Since we want to use falsehood and truth, we must start from the details and not reveal any flaws!"

He Ru pointed to his chest and said, "Come, cut a sword here!"

Zuo Qi acted as he said, Shanzong touched his chest and said, "I have to get a sword?"

"certainly!"

He Ru took off his gloves and ignited them. From a distance, it looked like a star ghost fire floating in a mass grave, which was extremely creepy! His eyes looked at Huang Qi's corpse and Shan Zong's body several times, and Shan Zong was terrified and said, "You are about the same figure, but Huang Qi is quite strong and you are thin. However, those who practice martial arts have strong bones and strong bodies, and the difference is not very big. They should be able to cover it up."

After saying that, some yellowish-brown powder was sprinkled around the body, and it turned into a shadowless shape when it was stained. Shan Zongqi said, "What is this for?"

"Don't remove the smell of corpse stinking, otherwise why would you sneak into East City?"

"Yes, my husband is considerate!" Shan Zong was shocked by He Ru's magical means, and he leaned over and smelled it, saying, "What is this made of? It smells a little fragrant..."

"Grind the leaves of the wormwood into powder, add some cinnabar and realgar, mix vinegar and dilute, and then dry them and add some secret medicines." He Ru ordered Zuo Qi to put the body into a cloth bag, clean his hands with the same powder, and smiled: "As for what secret medicine you put, if you are interested, you can exchange your things!"

Shanzong hurriedly refused and said, "I'm not interested, really, I'm not interested!" He had done business with He Ru before, and the price was to work hard for three years. How could he dare to take this?

"Don't be afraid, don't want your life. Just use the kind of medicine that makes people sore and weak, and I will teach you how to make this Seokshu!"

"Youhuang? A good name!" Shan Zong said with annoyance, "My medicine is called Zuidian, it doesn't sound very elegant!" His eyes lit up and he said, "Hangjun, it's not difficult to exchange it with you. My friend didn't say that this medicine should not be circulated. But please help me and give me a louder name."

"Since it's your prescription, it's better to follow your last name and call it... Shan Gui!"

"Mountain Ghost? I like it!"

After filling the tomb, there was no trace of movement on the surface. The three of them walked along the Qiantang River from Dongshuimen, which had weak defense, back to the city. Thanks to the water dragon inlet, they could avoid the yamen guarding the city and were not found. Shanzong rushed to the hiding place in Dongshi before dawn, preparing for the next step of action. He Ru and Zuo Qi returned to Jingyuan to find Xu You to report.

"The body was found?"

"Well, the winter is cold and it doesn't rot, so you can borrow it for use."

Xu You sighed: "The ancients said that it is safe to fall into the soil. If we dig graves and robbers like this, it will always hurt the harmony of the sky!"

He Ru disagreed and said, "If you die, you will die. If your skin and flesh are eaten by insects and ants, you will eventually return to dust. It is better to be used by others and bring out some final value. If Qilang is uneasy in his conscience, he can send Shanzong to find Huang Qi's old mother in the future and give her gold and silver to enjoy her old age!"

"Yes, Huang Qi still has a mother alive." Xu You also knew that he was too pretentious and it was not a huge sin to use the dead, but he couldn't overcome that hurdle in his heart. He turned around and asked, "Did Huang Qi really commit suicide in the winter solstice?"

"Yes!" Dong Xie wondered why Xu You asked again, saying: "After Huang Qi was caught by Zuo Langjun, he was punished in the spring well, but he never refused to testify against Xi Yuanda. Later, the white snake appeared in the world and Xi Yuanda was killed. After Huang Qi received the news, he actually killed him while the person was unprepared and hit him on the stone wall. Then I sent someone to bury him in a mass grave..."

"Although this person is stubborn, he is still loyal to Xi Yuanda. Remember to send someone to find his mother's whereabouts, and send some money to him after finding it..."

"promise!"

The sun slowly rose from the east. When the first ray of sunlight shot into Qiantang City, the town that had been silent for a night instantly regained its vitality and vitality. A ox cart drove out of the city gate, carrying Xu You, Zuo Yu, the autumnal equinox and Fang Sinian to the direction of the Sibao Paper House.

After noon, the ox cart turned back from the paper mill and halfway through the journey, the sky became darker and the red sun was drooping. There were not many pedestrians on the road. When passing a small stone arch bridge, a ox cart rushed from the opposite side. The driver was wearing a straw straw hat and couldn't see his appearance clearly, so he shouted to get out of the way. However, the bridge deck was narrow, and the ox cart that Xu You and others were riding on could not dodge. The carriage had already rushed to the front, and with a loud bang, it collided heavily.

Hurry!

The shaft of the car broke and the mad cow ran away. After a moment, the carriage capsized and a girl in red rolled out from inside. Her hair was scattered and her face was filthy. She could not tell her age or appearance. She seemed to be sore and weak all over, and she seemed to have injured her bones during a collision. She lay on the ground and could only look at Xu You and others with bright eyes, full of begging and hope.

"Xiaolang, how are you? Are you injured?"

Xu You and others reacted quickly enough and jumped out of the car in time, without any injuries, but they couldn't help but fall to the ground, looking a little embarrassed.

"fine!"

Xu You stood up with the help of the autumnal equinox and brushed away the dust on his body. Zuo Yu took a step forward and said sternly: "How did you catch the car? If you hit someone, can you bear the responsibility?"

The driver didn't say anything, turned around and carried the girl in red, lowered her head and was about to walk past Xu You and others. Zuo Qi's face changed, he reached out to stop him, and said, "I'm asking you what I want to do if I hit someone, I want to leave?"

"My sister was seriously ill for several months. I brought her to Qiantang for medical treatment. Unfortunately, my mother was worried and called me home to ask for inquiries. So I was in a hurry to go on my way. Don't blame me for offending!" The man's tone was very respectful, and he was a little anxious, saying, "But the money he had spent has been spent, and I really can't compensate you. I hope you will be kind to me!"

"Okay, Feng Hu, let them go. It's so difficult to go out. I'm taking the patients with me, so don't make things difficult for them!"

Zuo Qi was still angry, but Xu You said, not daring to disobey him, and snorted, "My husband is kind-hearted and does not care about you. You must be cautious when traveling in the future and don't be reckless!"

"Yes, thank you, thank you two men!"

The man was about to leave with the girl on his back. When he passed by, the girl used all her strength to open her red lips and murmur two words, but no one could hear it clearly.

"Let's wait!"

Xu You suddenly spoke, and the man stopped and stopped.

"Feng Hu, did this girl just say 'Save me'?"

"No, did you hear it wrong?"

Xu You walked over slowly and said, "I didn't listen to it seriously, but looking at the girl's mouth, it seems that she is talking about the word "save me"!"

"Can you understand the lips?"

"I don't understand, but I would rather have more things than let it go!" Xu You stared at the man's back and said, "I'll ask the girl on your back again. If I hear it wrong, I'll apologize to you."

The man did not look back and said, "My sister has a strange disease and cannot speak. My husband must have heard it wrong!"

"Can't speak? It's okay!" Xu You turned to the person, looked at the girl's Jian Shuichun's eyes, and said, "I'll ask you, did you save me just now? If so, please blink!"

The girl blinked indeed!

"Be careful, gentleman!"

The man suddenly rose up and reached out to grab Xu You. Zuo Qi stood on the left, ready to fight. The sword was whistled out of the sheath, attacking the place where he would save his heart.

Xu You retreated at the same time, and the autumnal equinox and Fang Sinian stood on the left and right. A thunder crossbow had already been installed at some point. The bowstring trembled slightly and shot out, pointing directly to the man's chest.

The man shouted angrily, and the straw hat exploded, hitting the arrow of the crossbow arrow, causing it to deviate several inches and pierced into the water. Then his toes were a little on the stone railing of the arch bridge, flying several feet, floating like a swallow, dodging Zuo's sword.

He lost his disguise and could see that it was Shanzong, and he was not interested in fighting. He tied the girl in red with a cloth belt, showed his body skills, and fled to the north. Zuo Qi chased after him with a sword. Xu You and his other ox cart were not damaged much, so he turned around and chased him.

Finally, he caught up with the two people in a fierce battle in front of a dilapidated thatched house. Xu You stood at a safe distance and asked Fang Sinian to install a thunder crossbow to find the opportunity. He also asked the autumnal equinox to surround the formation and ready to take action at any time.

"We say that when we meet each other, the well water does not interfere with the river, why should you push each other hard?"

clang!
