I have a long pupil

Chapter 49

"Why is this wall wet?"

Cui Laodao wiped the outer wall of Yichong Villa, and asked the guard at the gate.

The guard gave him a cold look, and said, "It's raining, so what's so strange about the wall being wet?"

"You do not understand…"

Cui Laodao shook his head and carefully observed the wall.

The tall white walls have tile eaves that drip water, and the drizzle does not catch it at all, but the water vapor condenses on it, forming drops of water the size of soybeans.

Cui Laodao's eyes were full of surprise, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it again, and sniffed it in his nose, his face suddenly changed.

In the water drops, there is a smell of rotting corpses!

"Mom..."

Cui Laodao cursed secretly, quickly wiped the Taoist robe, and muttered: "Could it be that the book... is telling the truth?"

Ghosts are invisible, unless there are magic tools such as Nuomian Jiangliang, it is difficult for ordinary people to see, so Zhang Biao told Cui Laodao some common sense to distinguish.

After hearing Zhang Biao's words, Cui Laodao was thinking about it along the way, and always felt that he had heard it there.

When he came outside the manor, he finally remembered.

There is an ancient book in Jingmen called "Prophecy", which talks about strange powers and gods, and various ominous omens.

Compared with the various illusions that deceive people, this "Prophecy" is not taken seriously. Only when he was bored when he was young, he studied it carefully as a pastime.

Later, there was civil strife in the door, and it was destroyed by fire.

Child prints, cats and dogs barking, condensation beads, corpse perfume... Now that I think about it, these have all been confirmed.

Could it be that that is the real Xuanmen secret code?

Just as Cui Laodao was meditating, the leader of the Fragrance Society hurried out just now, cupped his hands and said: "Master Cui, the leader of the society welcomes you!"

After all, he took him into the manor.

Yichong Manor is well-known in the capital, and Cui Laodao came here for the first time, and Dang even found it to be quite good.

This manor is made up of more than a dozen mansions, and there are various high-walled corridors in the middle, running vertically and horizontally, with many forked roads, and the tile carvings on the walls are almost exactly the same.

It turned out to be the Hanging Soul Ladder...

Cui Laodao was secretly stunned.

This is a common technique used in royal tombs. Using mechanism buildings and illusions, if there is no one to guide the way, you will definitely get dizzy.

And along the wall, there must be hidden piles hidden.

No wonder it is difficult for outsiders to mix in.

Led by the little leader of the Fragrance Society, they turned left and turned around until Cui Laodao was almost confused, and finally came to the gate of a house.

The gate was open, guarded only by two disciples.

The little boss raised his hand and said: "The president is inside, if you want to see Daoist Cui alone, please!"

Cui Laodao was a little nervous, but he adjusted his clothes, pretended to be calm, and strode into the yard.

Unexpectedly, this yard is no different from ordinary small farmyards, except that the layout is somewhat elegant.

Under the peach tree, a middle-aged man is drinking tea.

He was dressed in a green cloth Confucian robe, tall and tall, with a generous and majestic face, half-white hair, and he had the bearing of an official in the court.

It is Gu Qiu, the president of the Yi Chong Association, known as the Iron Palm God Fist, a well-known master in the world.

Cui Laodao didn't dare to be negligent, he cupped his hands respectfully and said, "I've met President Gu."

"Cui Daochang, please sit down."

Gu Chou's tone was very gentle, but he didn't even look at Cui Laodao, and poured two cups of tea by himself.

After Cui Laodao sat down, he opened his mouth and said: "When I was young, I wandered around the rivers and lakes, and I often dealt with Jingmen. You don't have this method."

As he spoke, he raised his head slowly, his eyes were as indifferent as ice, "Speaking of which, who are you looking for me for?"

Looking at the cold eyes, Cui Laodao trembled slightly, and said awkwardly: "But I dare not hide it. The old Taoist is helping people to bridge the gap, just because that expert doesn't want to reveal his identity."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Chou's mouth, "Which one is it, you might as well say it clearly."

Cui Laodao sternly said: "No family, no sect, a Taoist hermit, known as 'Tai Sui'!"

"Too old?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Chou's eyes.

Cui Laodao's answer was somewhat inconsistent with his imagination, and it was not the Xuanmen he had heard.

He pondered for a while, "A few days ago, someone in West City killed people in the street, claiming to be Tai Sui..."

"This is it."

Cui Laodao smiled and said: "To be honest, the old Daoist doesn't know his identity, he just met by chance. This expert can make a move, but there are three conditions."

"speak!"

"Don't ask about the origin, don't disturb afterwards."

"When the spell is cast, strangers avoid it."

"Three thousand pieces of silver, some medicinal materials..."

After talking about the conditions, Old Taoist Cui smiled and said, "If President Gu agrees, the old Taoist will contact you for you."

"Want money?"

Gu Chou's defense lessened slightly, "Yes!"

Cui Laodao heard that he promised so happily, but he was a little worried, "President Gu, don't turn your face against others afterwards, I can't afford to provoke you, but Brother Piaomen's mouth is very fast."

Most of the floating gates are clean customers and prodigals, who set up a stall to tell stories, and the waiters in the teahouse are more talkative than one another. There is a little trouble in the rivers and lakes, and they are the ones who spread the news.

It can not only make people famous, but also promote scandal.

Gu Qiu stood up and said, "Don't worry, Gu is ruthless in doing things, but he hasn't regretted what he promised."

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

With that said, he led Cui Laodao to a house.

The gate of the house was closed, and the surrounding area was empty. On the wooden posts in the distance, there were cats and dogs tied to each other. They walked around restlessly, occasionally looking at the yard and roaring.

Cui Laodao swallowed, "It's inside?"

Gu Chou said coldly: "That evil thing has no shadow or form, it only stares at the women and children of our Yi Chong Society and makes a move. Although it has nothing to do with it, it has discovered some patterns."

"This thing is like an epidemic. When it sees pregnant women and children, it will shift its target. Whenever it hurts people, cats and dogs will notice it."

"There are eighteen coffins with children and mothers inside. All the women and children in Yichong Manor have been evacuated, and it took a lot of effort to let them stay inside."

As he spoke, he turned his head slowly, with cold eyes, "I agree to all your conditions, but that expert has to go in by himself, and if he dies, the body must stay inside!"

"It's easy to say, the old Taoist will contact you right away. When night falls, Tai Sui will come by himself!"

"Okay, someone will lead the way then..."

After talking about everything, Cui Laodao turned and left.

As soon as Cui Laodao left, he jumped into a man outside the wall, dressed in white like snow, with a long sword on his back, frowned and said, "President, do you really believe him?"

Gu Chou said indifferently: "If you want money and medicine, it's probably a field cultivator. If you can do something, it's good to have a good relationship."

"The Killing Sect put us together, those hidden Taoists should not be trusted any more, have you found any news?"

The white-clothed swordsman cupped his hands and said, "Xuandu Temple, Lianhua Sect, Five Immortals Sect, Yanjia Sect, and Tiger Temple all have hermit activities, and the inheritance behind them should not be cut off."

"Fang Xiangzong and Xuanyang Temple lost their incense very early, and the inheritance has been lost everywhere, and it is very hard to find."

"There are hordes of wild beasts attacking people on the Moyun Cliff. There is a sword cultivator, and the spies have sent back news. There are only seven or eight people in the sword cultivating sect, and they have just started to practice. There must be a complete inheritance..."

"Sword repair?"

After hearing this, Gu Chou's eyes sparkled brightly, "According to the book, sword cultivators are the most prosperous in killing and attacking, which is exactly what I want."

"Tongxuan, secretly gather experts, and after this matter is over, go to Moyun Cliff with me to seize the inheritance!"

"From now on, those hidden world sects don't need to talk to me. Whatever I Gu Chou wants, I can grab it myself!"

…………

Bang!bang bang!

"The time of Haishi is fixed, close the door to guard against theft!"

It was night, and the autumn rain hadn't stopped, and the old man wearing coir raincoat was walking slowly on the deserted street.

Outside the gate of Yichong Manor, huge lanterns are brightly lit.

Cui Laodao waited under an umbrella, and took a sip from the flagon from time to time, which warmed up and strengthened his courage.

An incense club leader next to him asked anxiously: "The child's hour is approaching, why haven't people come yet..."

Before the words fell, he looked forward.

In the dark and rainy night, a black figure slowly appeared, wearing a ghost mask and night clothes, walking like a ghost, silently.

Such a handsome dexterity...

The little boss admired secretly, then cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Tai Sui, please follow me."

As he spoke, he turned around to lead the way for the two of them, and said as he walked, "According to my master's instructions, the secret guards along the way have left, no one will be peeping, and no one will follow after the incident."

Zhang Biao nodded silently, no nonsense.

Naturally, he would not believe it lightly, he had already found an exit in the Yichong Club through the secret passages in other squares, and even turned around a few times.

This secret passage is very secret. In the garden rockery, due to the beautiful scenery, no one has damaged it for a hundred years. Yichong will rebuild it and use it as a scene.

This tunnel is the retreat.

Along the way, there was no one, and there seemed to be only the footsteps of three people in the whole house, which seemed particularly creepy.

Immediately, cats and dogs barking broke the silence.

A large mansion appeared in front of him, and the surrounding area was empty. In the distance, cats and dogs chained up were furiously yelling at the mansion.

A trace of fear flashed in the little boss's eyes, "Sir, that thing is inside."

As he spoke, he opened several boxes on the ground, revealing neat silver taels and rows of wooden boxes, "Here is 4000 taels of Wenyin. The president said that as long as the sir can help our Yi Chong Society get rid of this disaster, I will make friends."

Zhang Biao glanced lightly, did not speak, took a deep breath, took the lantern, and walked slowly towards the dark house...
