I have a long pupil

Chapter 29 Night Exploration of the Ancient Pagoda

Things are down!
When Zhang Biao heard it, he guessed the reason.

This kind of thing is really too common.

Deceive the upper and lower, and the officials and officials protect each other.

It's a big deal, if no one reveals it, no matter how many people die, it won't be a big deal.

It not only involves Xiao San, but also harmful magic, so the Li family will naturally find a way to suppress it.

What Zhang Biao didn't expect was that the other party moved so fast that the flame was extinguished as soon as it was sparked.

The prosperity of the Li family's power can be seen.

But even if this happened, it would probably be useless.

Because behind them is the emperor...

Thinking of this, Zhang Biao suppressed his anger, nodded and said with a sneer, "These gangsters will indeed cause trouble."

Seeing him agreeing, Duan Fei also showed a smile on his face, "On weekdays, I seldom interact with Brother Zhang, so I will definitely not get drunk today, so I'll drink to my heart's content."

Hou Kun also nodded and said: "Okay, please come in quickly, Uncle Fu, say hello for me."

"Yes, sir."

The old man with the appearance of a housekeeper stepped forward to salute, with a friendly smile, and led several people towards the inner house.

Zhang Biao looked back while walking.

Hou Kun still stood at the door, seemingly welcoming guests, but actually a little anxious, kept looking at the end of the street.

He is waiting for someone very important?

It seems that this banquet is not so simple...

.........

In the Hou Mansion, the arrangement is not so festive.

There are no red heads around the beams, and there are no windows with the word "囍", only a dozen tables are set up in the middle courtyard, and the seats are full of guests.

The people that Hou Kun made friends with were also very complicated, including luxuriously dressed businessmen, and also people from the world who yelled and drank and had fierce eyes.

Of course, there are also many colleagues from the six doors.

They were arranged in the house with the door wide open, just in time to see the small stage in the courtyard.

Zhang Biao and other bronze medal arresters were arranged at one table, while Wang Xin and other arresters were in another room.

The young man at the same table who had something good to do looked around and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the little concubine waiting to be arrested was once the number one in the Cuiyu Building, and she was born with a beautiful face. I don't know when she will come in?"

"Enter?"

Wang Xin was delighted, "That's the qualification only for a regular wife. A bright matchmaker is married, and eight people carry a big sedan chair and enter through the front gate."

"As for the concubine, I guess she sneaked in through the side door, and she is listening to Mrs. Hou's lecture..."

Chatting here, the other side of the headhunting is equally lively.

"Seeing that the time has come, why is the waiter still waiting at the door, is it possible that some adult is coming tonight?"

"It's just a concubine, the adults will not come, he is waiting for the president of the Yi Chong Association..."

"Oh, tsk tsk...you are diligent enough..."

This is the way of the world, Hou Kun has had a lot of trouble in the past few years, some captors came here to save face, but they inevitably said some sarcastic remarks.

After a while, Hou Kun hurried back. Although he was smiling, the disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed.

He braced himself up and said to everyone, "Today is my old marquis's day, thank you all for coming here, it doesn't matter much, if you let go of the happy cannon, it's considered a pass."

After all, he waved his hand.

The sound of firecrackers immediately sounded outside, and at the same time the curtain on the stage was opened, and the masters of the troupe played and sang, which was very lively.

"Serve!"

When the old butler of the Hou Mansion greeted him, a group of boys in green clothes came out with trays.

Braised shark's fin in yellow, braised deer tendon in soy sauce, pork tenderloin, black fungus bean curd, stone flower fairy...

"Okay, it's the cook of Jiuweizhai."

A knowledgeable catcher immediately recognized it, and said, "This banquet costs at least 50 taels of silver. Waiting for the catcher is really a waste of money."

"Speak nonsense, come, come, colleagues, let's drink this cup to the brim!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Soon, the banquet was full of excitement.

Zhang Biao was not feeling well when he ate the food.

There is no other reason, even though he is stirring up wind and rain in the West Market, but there are only a dozen taels of silver in his pocket, I am afraid that he is not even as good as the policeman next door.

It seems that we must find a way to get some income as soon as possible...

Da da da!
The clapper hurried, and the gong sounded.

On the stage, a woman dressed up came out, with a beautiful face and a moony face, her eyebrows were affectionate, her red lips were lightly parted, and she sang: "Thick eyebrows lift a red fan, embroidered shoes pick a long hairpin, the moon shines brightly tonight, and the fragrance of flowers is leisurely..."

Needless to say, this is Su Wanniang, a famous prostitute in Taipingfang, her every frown and smile are captivating, and the young policemen next door can't help but stare straight at her.

"Everyone, sorry for the lateness."

In a short period of time, Hou Kun was already smelling of alcohol, and when he came in, he repeatedly confessed his crimes and drank with everyone.

Someone couldn't help asking: "Brother Hou, I heard that the president of the Yi Chong Association is coming tonight?"

When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

The Yichong Society is a Xianghui, a Jianghu gang.But as the largest incense meeting in Yujing City, it is not ordinary, there are many things involved behind it, and there are many nobles to support it.

Its president is named Gu Qiu, and he is not only a top expert who can establish a sect in the world, but also a guest of many dignitaries.

This is also the reason why the chief arrester Guo An didn't let Zhang Biao provoke him and sent Hou Kun to deal with him.

"Over there, something happened..."

Hou Kun made a vague statement, then changed the topic and started chatting about the recent gossip in the capital.

Zhang Biao smiled, but his mind was spinning a thousand times.

Is something wrong with Yi Chong?

Could it be that he ran to the Temple of the Witch God and provoked some existence in the spirit world...

………………

The Hou Mansion is lively and festive, but Yujing City under the night curtain is not so peaceful.

On Zhengyang Street, Jinwu Guards are patrolling.

Perhaps because of the sudden drop in temperature, night fog gradually formed on the street, and the rows of lights along the street were dim.

In the team, a soldier looked suspiciously in his eyes, turning his head to wait and see from time to time, with a nervous expression.

He was the one who was ordered by Chu Shiyuan during the day to slash Xiao San's head so that his face was completely disfigured.

"Zhou Hu, what are you doing!"

The Jinwu Guard soldiers in the rear scolded.

Zhou Hu swallowed, and cursed in a low voice: "Mom, hell, I always feel that someone is blowing a cool breeze behind my head."

"Stop talking nonsense, be careful of the captain's punishment!"

The soldier in the rear just cursed, then his eyes widened, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

On Zhou Hu's shoulder,
Hoarfrost gradually spreads,

A pair of handprints appeared.

"Ghost... ghost!"

Screams resounded through the long street...

…………

Zhaoguofang, Jokhanguo Temple.

The night air was cold and the candlelight in the main hall was dim. Although there were still incense and smoke in front of the Dharma Protector's Vajra Stage, it was no longer lively during the day.

Black crows sing, and the Songbai Temple is deep and secluded.

The shadow of the moon slanted down, and the stone steps to the pagoda were bleak and cold.

As usual, the patrolling monks still shuttled through the various entrances of the temple, cautiously.

In the shadowy place on the roof of the towering hall, a black figure cautiously poked its head out. It was Fang Ying, the gold medal catcher who was ordered to investigate.

He is not only superb in body skills, far superior to Zhang Biao, but also experienced and cautious.

After spending two days lurking, Fang Ying not only memorized the patrol route in the temple, but even planned more than a dozen stealth escape plans.

That's right, run away.

As soon as he arrived, he discovered many strange things.

The daily consumption of food in the temple far exceeds the number of monks, and some people will regularly send it to the pagoda...

There are many daytime pilgrims, but even if dignitaries are introduced into the middle courtyard, they will avoid that pagoda...

More importantly, he saw the monk of seeing the heart.

Even if he looked at it from a distance, the aura of the other party made his scalp tingle. Even the top green forest masters in the world did not give him this feeling.

This Zhaoguo Temple really has a big problem!
Fang Ying watched the pagoda from a distance.

All the answers, right there.

Outside the pagoda, there are master warrior monks guarding it. I see monks coming in and out from time to time. All the windows in the entire pagoda are covered with black bricks, which can be said to be airtight.

Fang Ying has already thought of a way, if it doesn't work, he can only leave immediately and return to his life.

Thinking of this, he walked lightly along the roofs of the main halls and walked in circles towards the stupas.

Different from Zhang Biao's soul hook, Fang Ying wore special leather gloves covered with iron hooks. With the help of special body skills, he could walk on the wall like a gecko.

When he came near the pagoda, while the patrolling monks were away, he jumped and lay silently on the outer wall of the pagoda.

Under the moonlight, like a black gecko, it swished to the top of the tower.

The top of the pagoda is still made of bricks and tiles.

Fang Ying pushed aside the bricks and tiles three times, five times and two times, and saw the dirt and straw, his eyes were happy, his movements quickened, and he saw the wooden beams.

Put your hands down and twist.

Click!

Accompanied by a slight sound, he twisted off the thick wooden beams one by one, revealing a hole the size of a washbasin.

clack clack...

Fang Ying twisted his body, his joints were disengaged, and he slid in like flowing water, returning to his original shape when he landed.

The top of the pagoda is very narrow, like most pagodas, enshrining a small Buddha statue and a wooden box containing relics.

Fang Ying didn't touch it randomly, and after checking that there were no traps around, he stepped on the ground with his toes, as quietly as a cat, and quickly descended the stairs.

After a while, they came to the bottom of the tower.

On the first floor of the pagoda, there are hidden fires flickering and the sound of people talking.

"Brother Kongxing, there have been a lot of casualties in the past few days. What did those senior brothers see?"

"Oh, I don't know, I can't see it at all, but unfortunately I have no choice but to wait for someone from the mountain to deal with it..."

Fang Ying was not in a hurry, and hid in the dark corner of the second floor, took out a bronze mirror to avoid the light, and took a peek.

I saw torches stuck on the wall of the tower on the first floor, and two monks were standing and chatting with handy shovels in their hands.

On the ground, there was a big hole, and the wooden board with the copper ring was left on the side.

Suddenly, the sound in the cave continued.

The two monks hurried forward, only to see several monks emerged from the hole, dragging a monk who was tied up with a hemp rope.

They looked anxious and shouted:

"Quickly, please go see Master Uncle!"

Fang Ying, who was peeping in the dark, widened his eyes.

I saw the monk, although he was tightly bound by iron chains, he was still twisting wildly.

What's even weirder is his body.

There are weird bone spurs protruding from the joints, which have grown at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole body is dripping with blood.

On the forehead of the head, not only did a pair of bony horns grow out, but the eyes also turned blood red, roaring like a beast...
