Chapter 290

Because Jing Shi rested overnight in the official inn, when he woke up the next day, he felt that his headache was greatly relieved and his mood was peaceful.There are no chaotic dreams to disturb the mind, and self-examination by pulse diagnosis, all the results are signs of health.Although I remember the hematemesis yesterday, I still don't know the cause of the disease. I think it may be caused by the exhaustion of running around recently, and meeting an old friend from the past.

Since he woke up yesterday, whenever he thinks about the previous dream of rain in the lonely building, the realm is blurred, charming and grotesque, he is really at a loss in his heart, and he dare not speak to outsiders.At the moment, I just keep this section in my heart, wash my face and cut my hair, resolve to clear my mind, and focus on Wuma.Sitting alone in the room for half a day, I saw the Gu'er bowl pushing in through the window, stood in front of him and said, "Jing Guaner, what are your plans today?"

Jing Shi has been with him for a long time, even though he has a rough face, he can tell the difference between happiness and anger, knowing that he is frowning at this time, which is very different from usual, so he asked: "How is your friendship with Wu Ma?"

Gu'er Wan said: "He is in charge of death, so he avoids others. He speaks in a strange tone, how can he have friendship with me? But I think he is gone, after all, it is a pity. Besides, big and small peach blossoms were originally born together. Now that Da Taohua is a death official, he is living separately, so lonely."

Jing Shi didn't want him to have such thoughts, so he sat down at the table, leaned over to look at him and said, "Why do you want to live in that building?"

Gu'er Wan said: "I don't know how to make it, but as a dead official, I have to be in the dead water. After a long time, I must be different from ordinary people. I don't like to communicate with people, and others are afraid of seeing them." If you stay here for a long time, your head will get dizzy, and something bad will happen. The medicine official is also a common principle. Before the old woman Shuihua became a medicine official, she also lived in the village. I think the old man Huozhou wants Xiao Taohua to take over. , I will live outside in the future.”

Since Jingshi entered the island of Hamusuo, although he knew that the three officials on the island had different duties, after all, he was busy with everything, so he didn't have time to investigate in depth.Except for Huzhou who met several times, Shuihua and Wuma are not very familiar with each other.Earlier, I asked about the prescriptions used by the medical officials, all of which are unique plants and trees in the Yanfu Kingdom, which are said to have the effect of calming the nerves and calming the soul, but Lu people should not use them.When he came, it was already Suqiu, although he picked many grasses and trees, but he couldn't plant them to test the effect.As for the daily responsibilities of death officials, they only know the general idea, but if they want to get away with it, they regard it as ominous, which is similar to Lu Zhong's avoiding graves and avoiding coffins.It is difficult to determine whether it is really ominous or superstition spread secretly among the people.

He asked Gu Er Wan a few words, seeing that his expression was still not happy, he stretched out his hand to caress his head and said: "I think what Mr. Fei Zhou means, if you want you to take over as the official in the future, maybe you will live in the village. Would you like to?"

Gu'erwan shook his head again and again and said: "No, no! I'm staying in the mountains so well, why do I want to be an official and go to the beach every month for fun?"

Jing Shi said: "If Mr. Huo Zhou insists on choosing you, what will you do?"

Gu'er Wan stared and said, "I left the island by boat and went to live in the city on land. If I can't be forced again, I will go to Luzhong with you. I don't believe that old man came after me and beat me."

Hearing what he said, Jing Shi knew that he was talking nonsense out of anger, so he finally didn't take it to heart, he just smiled and said: "Let's go, today I will go and see the place where Wu Ma died."

After eating and drinking, the two left the village entrance and went to the mountains again.The place where Wuma died was in a valley in the mountains, close to Zhongcun, but because of the obstacles of heavy peaks, if you go through the mountain road, it is not as cheap as Dongquan Village.The two climbed rocks and crossed streams all the way, crossed thorns and jumped streams, and made a dangerous detour to the lower valley.Finding a clump of grass, Gu'erwan poked lightly with a stick and said, "That's where I found Wuma's clothes."

Jing Shi squatted down to inspect, and found that there were indeed broken grass lying down among the clumps, but the roots were withered and yellow, and it seemed to have withered for a long time, not because of heavy objects falling recently.Then rubbed the soil on the grass bottom, and saw fine black ash among the broken sand and mud, which looked like embers, and my hand couldn't help trembling slightly.

Gu'erwan's sharp eyes saw something strange about him, and immediately asked, "Jing Guan'er, what do you think?"

Jing Shi didn't move, threw back the broken soil, wiped his hands and said, "It's nothing. It's cold and windy, a little bit frozen." He got up and ignored it.Looking up again, I saw peaks on all sides, snowy forests and frozen stones, claustrophobic desolation, and self-sufficiency.

This place is blocked in all directions, it was originally very remote, and there were no springs and strange grasses, so no one came here on weekdays.Even if Jingshi traveled to the mountains for a long time, he only passed through the mountains and never went down to the valley to see them.At this time, standing quietly in the empty valley, looking at the stunning scenery, it is like a world left behind. I also recalled that when I visited Wuma, he once said that his life would only last three years.At that time, Jing Shi didn't care about it at all, who would have thought that before half a year had passed, he would not have lost his life, but Wuma died violently in the wild, his heart was faintly touched, he stood there and stared at the peaks, then he said to Gu'erwan, "Do you know why Wuma came here?" this?"

Gu'er Wan said: "I don't know. There is no fruit and no spring here, and no one wants to live here. Except for that weird guy, who would come here?"

Jing Shi deserved a cry, and looked at the distant mountain scene again, but said: "Watching the peak and viewing the scenery here, it's just waiting for the light in the dark, the terrain is just right."

Gu'erwan asked strangely: "Waiting for the light?"

Jing Shi shook his head and remained silent, and ordered Gu'er Wan to lead him to see where Wuka died, but it was far away from the grass, it was a barren field, and it was faintly black under the snow, which was left by his blood.After a while, it was covered by flying snow, and the traces were difficult to distinguish.However, the distance between the two places is really far away, even if you are lucky and agile, it is difficult to reach it in an instant.If Wu Ma died first, his animals would flee in fright, and they would be able to run a hundred paces, but it would be difficult to understand how dead they were.

Because Wuma died, Gu'erwan didn't want Jingshi to stay outside for a long time, but when he saw him running around all over the mountain, he felt dissatisfied, so he said, "Jing Guaner, if you want to see where Wuma died, I will not stop him." What are you doing, but now you are running around up the mountain?"

Jing Shi buried his head on the rock and replied, "I want to see what can be seen on the peak."

Climb several peaks in this way, and it will be late at night.The two climbed to the first peak in the west of the valley, just as the setting sun was about to set, their eyes were fiery red.Looking far away from Jingshi, you can see three high-rise peaks in the west, squatting, and darkly backlit.Calculation of the azimuth is the location of the "deep mountain".He stared at it for a while, but because of the distance and the lack of skylight, he had to go back down the peak.At that time, it was already dark, so the two of them did not return to Zhongcun, but lived in Dongquan Village nearby.

Jingshi lived in Dongquan Village temporarily before, and later went to the mountains to look for Wuma, so he left many belongings in the village.Now when I returned to the village, I saw that the wooden bowl on the table was half dry, the plum branches were slanted, and the two flowers on the branches were still in full bloom, and the color was as new.At the moment, a new sleep is added, sitting quietly at the table, thinking about what I saw today.After pondering over and over for a long time, he finally felt that this matter was unusual and could not be ignored, so he got up immediately and asked, "Is there any firewood in the village?"

Gu'er Wan said: "There is no shortage. Jing Guan'er feels cold at night?"

Jing Shi shook his head and said: "You take the firewood from the storehouse and pile them in the open space in front of the village. Make piles in threes and burn them as beacons."

Gu'er Wan was very surprised when he heard his words, and wanted to ask why, but Jing Shi kept urging him, in a very urgent manner.Immediately, the villagers of Hulai went out and joined forces side by side, and piled up nine piles of firewood, all of which were ignited and burned.The Yan people were originally cold-resistant, and they occasionally accumulated firewood, which was mostly used for cooking. In this way, nine places have been built, and the old accumulation has been exhausted, and Jingshi has no regrets.Seeing that the fire was raging, he called Gu'erwan and asked, "Are there any musical instruments in this village?"

Gu'erwan asked the villagers, and told Jing Shi: "There are no other ones, but there are a few songs left, which were made by the old officials who taught opera in the past." He ran to get them and saw five or six. Wooden suona.

When Jing Shi saw this thing, he couldn't help crying and laughing, but because the situation was urgent, it was just what he wanted, so he said immediately: "You find a few people to play this thing, and the rest can sing along with it. The louder the movement, the better."

Nahan, who had a big Gu'er bowl, stared and asked, "Jing Guaner, why is Wuma dead? You are burning fires and singing operas? I heard that you were buried in Lu, so you want to play and gather people for dinner. Don't you think so?" A funeral for Uma?"

Jing Shi said: "No." But he didn't know what happened, he just urged Gu'erwan to do it.

Yan people like to be lively by nature, and the residents of Dongquan Village are relatively young and ignorant of world affairs.But seeing the bonfire in Jingshi suddenly, he ordered to play and sing together. For a while, the crowd was excited and cheered, and they all went to grab the wooden suona and play.But in the firelight, a group of monkeys rolled around, screaming and screaming, and there were strange sounds of suona beeping, which did not form a tune.Such noisy and frolicking activities attracted the boss's movement, which could be heard from hundreds of miles away, and the flames were shining brightly, and the beacon smoke was soaring into the sky.After half an hour of commotion, a red cloud fell from the sky, far away in the dark outside the village.

Seeing this scene, Jing Shi immediately stepped forward and rushed straight to the place where the red cloud fell.When I got closer, I saw a strong young man standing among the grass at the edge of the forest.This person has a dark complexion, a burly body, a square face and a wide mouth, and looks very simple and honest.His feet are barefoot, he is wearing a brown short jacket, the sleeves of his trousers are rolled up to the bends of his arms and knees, his front skirt is wide open, exposing his iron-like chest, and the dragon fish swimming in the sea tattoo on his body, if he is not here, he looks like a An ordinary fisherman.Standing in the dark at this moment, looking at the fire in Dongquan Village and the group of monkeys singing and dancing, his face is full of confusion.

Just now when Jingshi saw Hongyun, it was expected that Honghu came here to inquire, but who knew it was a stranger.But thinking about the urgency of the matter, and regardless of other things, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Is this real person a member of the Nanhai Divine Palace?"

Seeing him coming, the man scratched his head and replied, "I am Da Hei Jin Gu, the attendant of Empress Longji. Is this little brother a test student on this island?" His voice was forceful and powerful, but his tone was very timid, as if he was not good with him Strangers talk.

Jing Shi couldn't help but feel slightly stunned when he heard him speak like this, but considering that the fairy island is isolated from the world, most of its people don't know the customs of the mainland, so it shouldn't be surprising.Immediately put aside distracting thoughts, cut straight to the point and said: "For this island official, Jingshi, I lit a fire to have fun tonight, because I encountered an urgent matter and wanted to attract real people to come to meet each other. This is a helpless act, please don't be surprised and abrupt."

The big black golden drum deserved a sound, and said in a low voice: "It's all right, I don't know why my little brother is looking for me?"

Seeing his appearance like this, Jing Shi couldn't help hesitating, he pondered for a while and said: "Since the real man is a person in the shrine, he should know a person named Hong Hu. There is something I want to tell her today, can I send a message for her, and invite her to come I'll see you somewhere?"

Daheijingu showed distress and said: "This is not possible. Sister Honghu just went overseas today, she said she was going to help the empress, and ordered me to patrol the islands on her behalf to keep everyone safe. If you have something important, you may as well Tell me first, when Sister Honghu returns, I will tell her myself."

Hearing this, Jing Shi felt uneasy in his heart, but since this is the case, there is no way out, he just said to Dahei Jingu: "Since this is the case, I will explain this matter to the real person first, and I hope I can convey it as soon as possible, and tell Shen Gonglong Empress Ji, please be careful." Immediately, he gave a brief account of Wuma's untimely death, and pointed out his own investigations, and told the truth about all the details.

At the beginning, Dahei Jingu was very nervous when he heard his words solemnly, but after hearing the matter, he became confused, scratched his head and said: "It turns out that there are people who died on Xiaoge Island. This is a pity. coherent?"

Seeing that he was so simple, Jing Shi had no choice but to look around first, but when he saw no one around, he replied: "I think there are many strange things about Wuma's death. He often haunts the mountains, and there is an unknown ancient in his body. Coins are suspected to be a ritual of paganism. Furthermore, when Wuma died, his animal Wuka was also killed, and the way of death is absolutely unacceptable. From what I see, it must be a person with supernatural powers."

Up to this point, he has revealed his words in a very straightforward way, but seeing the big black golden drum still nodding his head in a daze, it is rare to understand, and he simply said bluntly: "I am afraid that Wuma will believe in heresy and communicate with evil spirits in the dark; , Fang was murdered by poisonous hands. Although this is all guesswork, if it is true, there must be great danger here. The empress Longji of your palace has given me a lot of kindness, and I respect her very much. thing."

Hearing his words, Dahei Jingu also showed seriousness, nodded and said: "Since my brother has such a heart, I should tell my mother." He was about to turn around and ride away on the cloud, but suddenly he was called by Jingshi, But he listened to him and said slowly: "The real man, please tell the empress to make him be careful of Young Master Yu."

Dahei Jingu was shocked when he heard the words, and looked back at each other in bewilderment.Jing Shi was always truth-seeking, and he didn't want to speculate at first, but because the matter was about Long Ji, he ignored his usual conduct, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This time, the big move is decided on a fluke, and it will not be off the agenda of Young Master Yu. Now on my island Residents died violently, suspected of colluding with heretics. Just about to investigate the matter, I heard that the empress went to the sea to suppress the chaos. What's the plan, but I hope she will act cautiously, Xianling Hengchang, so I made such slanderous and dangerous remarks, please forgive the abruptness."

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and was about to return to the village, when he heard a soft sigh in the forest, and a woman said: "Your son is concerned about my safety, so you don't have to blame yourself too much for making such a critical statement. "While speaking, the person has turned out from the back of the forest, with red clothes and black hair, and a beautiful appearance, it is Long Ji herself.
