38. Unexpected Visitors
Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad.
Xie Toad groaned and said: "Why do you ask about the background of the painting?"
Wang Qilin said: "I once heard a story about a scholar who got a painting of a beautiful woman. Every night, this woman would come out and sleep with him."
"Then the scholar disappeared and his family couldn't find him. By chance, someone noticed the painting he had hanging at home and found that the painting not only painted a woman, but also a group of men. It was just used as a background.
It’s hard to spot.”
"Among them, the portrait of the missing scholar is among these men!"
“Lifelike!”
A group of rogues trembled and trembled.
Xie Toad said: "There is a sect in Jianghu called Shenghualou. It is said that they can paint all the people with one wonderful brush. They can draw people into the painting and also draw monsters and monsters into it. I think the painting you are talking about is from them."
hand."
Wang Qilin said: "Go and have a look at Silly Daring's house."
Silly and Bold is a nickname. No one knows his real name. They only know that his surname is Sha. He is naturally courageous and a bit silly, so he got the nickname Silly and Bold.
There is a young man named Hou Jun who grew up with Silly Daring. He said: "Silly Daring has dared to do anything since he was a child. When we were young, we would hide and seek at night in the summer, and he would bring a shovel. What do you think he was doing?"
"My lord is here to investigate the case, not to guess riddles. If you have any questions, hurry up!" Xu Da glared.
"Yes, yes, this kid used a shovel to dig half of the grave and hide in!"
Another person nodded: "He did this kind of thing later. Once he hid in a grave to hide from debts and even touched other people's tablets from the grave."
Wang Qilin said: "Such a person is suitable to work in our Tianjian."
Xie Toad said: "One is enough, isn't it?"
Xu Da is looking forward to it on the left.
Sha DaDa lives in an old house in the countryside. The house is in dilapidated condition, half of the wing has collapsed, and the walls are rickety, like ruins.
It was evening and the sun was setting.
The afterglow shines on the dilapidated old house, giving it a dark and desolate look.
Xie Toad sniffed after entering the door: "No, there is a weird smell in the yard!"
"The smell of corpses?" Wang Qilin asked.
Hou Jun said with a sneer: "The hut of Silly Da Dao's family collapsed. He usually works in the yard."
Xie Toad, who also thought he had found a clue by smelling the stench of corpses, twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to vomit.
Xu Da patted him on the back with great concern: "Why are you retching like this? Who is it? A boy or a girl? No, you just added chili pepper and vinegar to the stewed mutton. This means you have both children!"
He just heard Xie Toad's words about him.
I don’t hold grudges, I will avenge them on the spot.
The house was in a mess, tattered clothes and shoes were thrown everywhere, unwashed dishes and chopsticks were piled in a basin, and several torn and dirty quilts on the bed were entangled with each other. Wang Qilin also grew up in a poor family, but he had never seen rags.
To build a house like this.
But although the house is dirty and messy, it still has a certain atmosphere.
He opened the pot, and there was cold porridge in the pot. Xu Da asked him to look at the window sill, where half a messy roast chicken was placed.
Hou Jun picked up the green cloth clothes hanging at the foot of the bed and showed him: "Master Wang, these are the clothes Silly Daring usually wears. You see his clothes are here, and the roast chicken he eats is also at home, which shows that this person has no
Going far away, right? If he goes far away, he must pack things up, right?"
Xu Da slapped him on the back of the head: "You have said everything you can, what do you want Mr. Wang to say?"
Hou Jun said aggrievedly: "Young man is anxious."
"Based on these alone, we can't tell whether he has traveled." Wang Qilin glanced around: "Does Silly Daring have money and food at home?"
"He has some food, but it's all in the urn, but no money. He dreams of having money, but he is idle all day long, how can he get money?" the gangsters laughed.
Wang Qilin was stunned. How dare you laugh at your own man for his idleness?
However, according to the current analysis, Silly Daring does not seem to have left home, so it is no wonder that the gangsters rushed to find Xu Da when they saw that he and the painting were gone.
Xu Dahan put on the ice beads and shook his head. There was no negative energy in the room.
Xie Toad said solemnly: "There is something weird in this house, which makes me feel very awkward, but I can't tell what is weird about it specifically."
"Anyway, don't let the idlers come in easily again!"
The house is leaky and the wind is blowing.
The gangsters ran away in a hurry.
After returning to the inn, Wang Qilin asked: "You said his house is weird. In what way is it weird? Let's think about it together."
Xie Toad said: "I'm just fooling those rogues, I can't let them feel that I have no ability."
Wang Qilin:┓(′?`)┏
This thing was also strange. In the next three or four days, he took Xu Da and Xie Toad to mobilize the village gangsters to look for Sha Daudao, but no information was found at all.
But someone came to look for him.
At that time, Wang Qilin was feeding grass carp in the house, and then he saw his nephew running in with short legs. His face became even darker with excitement, and he said awkwardly: "Is there someone..."
"What's wrong with someone?"
Heidou stretched out his hand and gestured at him, opening his arms as hard as he could.
"Is there someone flying in the sky?"
Heidou shook his head, picked up the broom, stepped on it and started running.
"Someone is flying in the sky on a broomstick?"
Xu Dadao: "Someone is riding a big horse!"
Heidou nodded vigorously.
The person arriving on horseback was beyond Wang Qilin's expectation, but it was within reason.
Extremely yellow.
The war horse under his crotch is tall, with shiny black hair, and its four hooves are as big as the mouth of a bowl. When it runs, its mane dances with frightening momentum. At first glance, it is a horse that has traveled thousands of miles.
Heidoupa pulled the door panel open and peeked at it with one eye, then slowly retracted his head, closed his eyes and ran around the yard with the broom between his legs.
Imagine yourself riding a horse and roaring into the battlefield.
The oncoming wind is very noisy.
After running a few steps, he bumped into a mountain and opened his eyes.
It's his mother.
After confirming his eyes, he is an enemy that cannot be defeated.
Heidou threw down his broom and ran faster than a horse: "Uncle will live as long as heaven!"
"Sister, serve tea."
The old general stopped him and said: "There is no need to serve tea, Mr. Wang, I have something to ask of you."
Wang Qilin said: "General, your words are serious. It's okay for you to say whatever you have to say."
The old general sighed and said: "Yun'er didn't wake up until yesterday. When she woke up, she said that she was on the second floor and would fall to the ground tomorrow night."
Wang Qilin asked: "What will happen if it falls to the ground?"
The old general smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, but I can't let her fall to the ground. I can't let her take this risk."
"so?"
"So I want you to go and have a look in that tower. If there is still a ghost haunting Yun'er, then the ghost should be hiding in the tower."
Wang Qilin asked in surprise: "Then do you know where that tower is? I also guessed that there was something wrong with that tower, but after I came back, I checked the classics and found no ten-story tower. I asked some people,
I can’t find out where the tower is either.”
Huang Hua was extremely depressed, and he stopped talking several times.
Seeing this, Xie Toad shook his robe and said: "Master Wang, of course you have not found that tower, nor can you find out its location, because normally no one can see a tower built upside down into the ground!"
Huang Huaji glared at him and said sternly: "What do you know?"
Xie Toad said slowly: "Don't be afraid, General Huang. I don't know the secret you are keeping, but I know what the ten-story Wuji Tower is about."
"As the saying goes, there are odd and even numbers, and yin and yang. The number of the sky is an odd number, which is a yang number; the number of the earth is an even number, which is a yin number. When the sky is above, odd numbers are used to develop toward the sky, so the pagodas all have odd floors and three floors.
, fifth floor, seventh floor, ninth floor.”
"By analogy, how was the ten-story even-numbered tower built?"
"It's built underground!"
Hearing this, Huang Huaji showed a look of horror on his face.
"Infinite Taoist Master." Xie Toad sang with his hand holding the Tao seal, with a hidden and mysterious smile on his face.
You thought you saw the second level, but you thought I was on the first level.
