At Shen Shi, the setting sun was setting in the west.

It will get dark.

General Xu sent Ma Qiu and his entourage to the county government office and then came back. Wang Qilin and three others went to visit them.

He wrapped the Ghost Head Knife in linen and tied it to his back, and looked at the water tank before going out.

Well, more like the guy named Yang Guo.

The General's Mansion is a bit far away from Niu Er's home. It is independent in a wasteland outside the countryside. It has a tall house and a large courtyard, with white walls and glazed tiles, and the sun shines brightly on its folds.

The vermilion gate is two feet high, but there are not ordinary stone lions squatting on the left and right sides of the door, but two strange beasts.

The one on the left looks like a civet cat but has thick tiger claws, and the one on the right is even weirder, with two cow heads and eight legs.

Seeing Wang Qilin looking carefully, Xie Toad asked in surprise: "First time here?"

Wang Qilin nodded: "Yes, this place is a bit evil. If you look to the northwest, there are mountains of earth. It is said that they are all ancient tombs, and there are many evil ghosts and sycophants hidden in them."

Xie Toad looked into the mountain belt in the northwest with a deep look.

The two chatted passionately, but Xu Da didn't speak, just stared at the red painted door.

Wang Qilin asked: "What are you looking at?"

Xu Da said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I won't be able to kick this door open!"

Wang Qilin rolled his eyes and said: "If you dare to kick open the door of the General's Mansion, then the three of us can travel to the earth together."

"What?"

"Nothing, knock on the door!"

The vermilion door is inlaid with a bronze mirror that can detect people's light, and the two door knockers are held by bronze tigers, which is majestic.

Among his six sisters, none of them had a bronze mirror, yet others used copper to decorate the door. Wang Qilin couldn't help but sigh.

The gap between humans is greater than the gap between humans and dogs!

The door slowly opened, and an old man with white eyebrows, white hair, and rough skin showed his face and asked, "Who is coming?"

Wang Qilin took out the blood wood seal and said: "I am listening to the small seal of Tianjian, Wang Qilin, and I have come to pay homage to General Huang."

The old man took the blood wood seal and said, "Everyone, please come in first. I will report to my master."

Tingtianjian Xiaoyin is a ninth-rank officer, and Huang Huaji, the old general of the Huang family, retired from the post of general of the Zhenguo. The general of the Zhenguo is from the second rank, and the officials who clean his military boots and carry urinals for him are more than the ninth rank.

Therefore, Wang Qilin was not sure whether the old general would see him.

Fortunately, the old man with white hair and white beard went back and forth to say hello: "Master Wang, my master is here to invite you."

Xu Da also wanted to follow, but Xie Toad stopped him with a half-smile and said, "Where are you going? The general invited Mr. Wang!"

"What about me, uncle?"

"Where can I stay warm?"

Xie Toad waved his sleeves and flew up to the gate tower.

Feel free and at ease in Sanxian.

The largest house Wang Qilin had ever seen before was Zhang's Medical Center in Fulong Township, but it only had two entrances and two exits.

The General's Mansion is the real compound of a wealthy family. There is a garden at the entrance, surrounded by towering walls, and the buildings inside are scattered in rows and rows.

After passing through the two arches, they saw an open playground with stone locks, swords, swords and halberds. There were horses neighing in the distance, and there must be stables inside.

Wang Qilin secretly lamented that he would have something to say when bragging in the future.

However, the General's Mansion is a large place with not many people and it is very deserted.

So if he was asked to choose between living in the deserted General's Mansion or the warm thatched cottage at home, he would choose the General's Mansion.

You really can't choose a thatched house against your conscience.

The old general was waiting in the drawing room.

He was dressed simply, a set of linen clothes, and his white hair was simply tied with a piece of cloth. His appearance did not look like a general at all, but more like an old carpenter from the countryside. There was nothing unusual about his appearance and temperament.

.

"Is this Mr. Wang? He is such a handsome young man. Come and take a seat."

After the old general spoke, he finally had the air of a famous general. His voice was loud and firm, and his words were decisive and could not be refuted.

The maid brought tea, and the old general took up the topic and started chatting with him, but they only talked about family matters and hearing what the Heavenly Supervisor had seen.

The conversation lasted for a long time, but it never got to the topic. When the old general changed his tune, he issued an order to expel the guest.

Wang Qilin was anxious.

This is not the right thing to do yet!

He ignored the etiquette and said directly: "General Huang, I have received news that there is some instability in your house and I need to come and check it out."

Huang Huaji asked: "Where did the news come from?"

"Someone secretly wrote me a letter..."

"Where is the letter?"

Wang Qilin said: "This is weird. After the official read the letter, it burned by itself. It was this that made the official suspicious. After some hesitation, he decided to take the liberty of paying a visit."

There was no lie in his sweat, and no one could guess that he was talking nonsense.

Furthermore, the old general who had dominated the conversation just now had revealed his family background, knowing that in front of him was a country guy who had just joined the Tianjian Prison for less than a month.

What does a little country chicken who has never been out of the country before joining Tianjian have to do in front of a second-grade official? What lies can he dare to tell?

It's a pity that he didn't know that Wang Qilin had been on earth. Lies can be found everywhere on earth. Wang Qilin saw a girl lying on the bed panting and saying that she was running and running in slippers.

Huang Huaji frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly: "Huang is upright and aboveboard in his life, and he disdains lies, so I tell you, this is true. But you can't control it, I have to rely on myself to solve it."

"The general underestimates people..."

"see a visitor out!"

The old general was an open-minded man and gave him a gift before leaving, a long-handled Miao knife used by strong soldiers on the frontier.

"I see that Mr. Wang has no weapons, so I will give you a self-defense weapon. You must be careful when you are on duty in Tianjian. Don't leave your hands with the sword!"

Wang Qilin stretched out his hand and touched his back and said, "I have..."

One touch and one hand empty.

The ghost head sword is missing.

I don’t know when I was sucked into the Creation Furnace again.

He thanked Huang Huaji, put the long knife on his back, and went out disappointed.

Seeing him appear, Xu Da asked: "How is it?"

Wang Qilin shook his head.

Xu Da was disappointed: "Miss Huang's beauty is also a rumor?"

"Rumors say you're a big man. What I mean is that there is no hope in this matter. The old general said that the affairs of the house are family affairs and outsiders cannot interfere."

After Wang Qilin finished speaking, he looked towards the gate tower: "Taoist Master, come down, be careful of being treated as an assassin and shot into a hedgehog."

Xie Toad stood on the gate tower and looked far into the distance. He looked at it for a while and then said, "Sir, what do you think I saw up there?"

Xu Da asked expectantly: "Two big meat bugs fighting?"

Xie Toad sneered: "Follow me."

After bypassing the courtyard wall of the General's Mansion, a piece of countryside appeared in front of them.

In early spring, the grass and trees are not yet green, and large areas of the wilderness are withered and yellow. When the cold wind blows, the grass and trees are filled with sadness and make a rustling sound.

Jixiang County is a mountainous area. There are many small hills in Paifang Township and Fulong Township. There is such a large hill to the northwest of Jiangjun Mansion. At this time, a funeral procession was shuttled deep in the hills.

This funeral procession was a bit strange. There was no suona playing music, no paper money to clear the way, and no one wailing. There was only one person holding a soul-calling flag, followed by eight people carrying a large red-painted coffin.

What's even weirder is that the eight people carrying the coffin are not wearing mourning clothes or mourning cloth, but are wearing black clothes. From a distance, they look like Wang Qilin and others.

Xu Da asked: "Our colleagues?"

Xie Toad shook his head: "No, this is the black dragon carrying the coffin."

"What's the meaning?"

"When the black dragon arrives, life or death is unpredictable. They are the Black Yao people, and they carry coffins to travel to the sky. You may not know that the Black Yao people are a nation in the Western Regions. They have a custom that after a person dies, he carries the coffin and wanders around many places.

Wandering around for many days.”

Xu Da suddenly realized: "No wonder the tribes in the Western Regions are called tomb-wandering tribes. It turns out that this custom exists."
