Through the words of the old drunkard Du Huanbo, we learned that the monster that attacked Shannan Prefecture was a very rare buzzard eagle.

What's even more unfortunate is that the Eastern priest who was drowned by our design, that is, Takeda Genki's ghost, happened to be attached to the buzzard eagle by some strange combination of circumstances, and then he deliberately retaliated against Captain Hao who turned from darkness to light.

department.

No wonder that thing, in addition to being cruel and fierce, seemed to know Captain Hao and the others very well. It only carried out sneak attacks and retaliated in secret, instead of confronting them head-on, leaving Captain Hao and the others with no place to use their swords and guns.

Just as Mr. Du told us with a smile that although it was not easy to get rid of the buzzard, it was by no means difficult. But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Brother Dasha.

What Brother Dasha means is that without further delay, the night is long and the dream is long. Since Mr. Du knows where the buzzard eagle lives, why not secretly point it out to us so that we can shoot it down with a row of guns?

Uncle Du shook his head and said, It seems you didn't hear clearly what I just said. That buzzard vulture has a pair of strange blood-red eyes. It can see things at night as if it were daytime. Before you get close to it, it has already seen you and spread its wings.

Gao Fei, with its pair of wings reaching into the sky, can be hundreds of miles away in the blink of an eye. How do you kill it?

Moreover, it may be self-defeating and scare the snake, making the buzzard more cautious and vigilant. It will be even more difficult to get rid of it in the future...

Boss Liu quickly asked for advice: So, according to your opinion, how can we get rid of it?

Mr. Du very mysteriously told us that if we want to get rid of the buzzard that can soar into the sky with its wings and fly as fast as lightning, we must use a spell called "Shenmi Soul Capture" to stun it in the blink of an eye.

, and then you just take it down with one shot, and the rest depends on how much trouble you are willing to make!

"The magic of flashing souls? But none of us know that kind of heresy?" Boss Liu spread his hands and expressed embarrassment.

"Haha, don't tell me that you don't know it. Even Platoon Leader Huo's master doesn't understand it. Of course, I only heard of its name and knew how powerful it was, and I don't know anything about that kind of magic," said Old Man Du.

"But, since I mentioned that kind of magic, there must be someone in this world who knows it!"

"Who knows that kind of magic? Where is he now?" Brother Dasha asked eagerly, wanting to get up immediately and ask the expert to come and help.

"The old witch who knows that magic, she lives in a cave called Widow Ridge not far from Suzaku City!" Mr. Du said confidently.

Old witch? Widow Ridge? As soon as Mr. Du finished speaking, the rest of us were already booing!

Because we have already been to Widow's Ridge. Just a few days ago, in order to deal with the case of Shopkeeper Huang of Wangjiang Tower, we took the risk to go to Widow's Ridge, and more than a dozen men with more than a dozen guns, inexplicably...

He fell into the hands of that old monster and almost lost his life there.

"What? Have you heard of the Widow's Ridge?" Old Man Du asked in surprise.

"Hey, not only have we heard about it, a few of us went to Widow Ridge in person a few days ago and saw the old witch!" Platoon Leader Huo said proudly.

What Platoon Leader Huo said made Mr. Du freeze in shock: "You guys, you didn't lie to me? Did you really go to the Widow's Ridge and see that old witch?"

"Haha, what Platoon Leader Huo said is all the truth, Liu can vouch for him! Because we really saw that old monster at the Widow's Ridge we went to a few days ago!" Boss Liu said, "Well, just say

It’s really embarrassing, so many of us almost fed the pack of wolves and giant pythons raised by the old monster!”

"Oh, that's it!" Mr. Du said with admiration, "You can escape from that old witch alive. It's like the sun rises in the west and the rooster lays eggs. It's really strange, it's really strange!"

"Haha, it was just a fluke! I almost lost my life in that damn place!" Boss Liu said, "That old monster really has a way with so many of us carrying knives and guns, in front of her.

There is no backhand power at all..."

When we mention the old monster in Widow's Ridge, we still feel a lingering fear in our hearts.

However, after the old drunkard reminded us, we remembered it. At that time, we were holding knives and guns, but some evil magic spell was cast by her, causing us to lose consciousness in an instant, and we had no ability to backhand at all.

So, could it be that the spells used by the old monster in Widow Ridge were the flash-enchantment spells used by the old drunkard? If that's the case, if she were to cast that set of spells, it would be an excellent way to deal with the buzzards.

!

It's just that she is an old monster with a paranoid and cunning personality, and treats people like pigs and dogs. How can we possibly invite her? Maybe when I go to Widow's Ridge again and meet her, she will be in a bad mood and treat us as food for the wolves.

It's possible.

After hearing what Old Man Du said, Boss Liu was overjoyed at first, and then his face immediately turned pale. He told the old drunkard that Old Man Du was right. The old monster in Widow Ridge had a spell that could frighten people, but her experience was miserable.

, has a perverse temperament, treats people like grass and grass, and feeds people to wolves if she is touched, who can make her touch her?

We also nodded repeatedly and echoed, saying that the old monster in Widow's Ridge is indeed a headache and no one wants to go and ask for her.

Platoon Leader Huo even bluntly said that the old monster in Widow's Ridge was different from ordinary people, and it was impossible to expect her to listen to people's appeals and help.

After listening to what we said, Mr. Du told us with a smile that buffalo and oxen are very powerful, but they are led by the farmers to plow fields and pull plows; lions and tigers are kings and hegemons, but they are just like circus people.

You are tame and obedient; you who dare to die will also be beaten to pieces by the words of the superior officer...

Therefore, there is nothing in this world that is absolutely powerful and cannot be tamed. What’s more, she is just a witch, so how could there be no way for her to come forward to help?

Although what Mr. Du said seemed reasonable, we still believed that asking the old monster from Widow Ridge to help would be more difficult than directly eradicating the buzzard eagle!

Seeing that we were still hesitant and embarrassed, Mr. Du said to us, luckily you are all traveling all over the country and are well-informed. Why don't you even understand some basic things? You know, women have been women since ancient times.

He who pleases himself will look good, and a scholar will die for his confidant. As long as he gives him what he wants, he can even give up his life. How could he not even be able to help?

As the saying goes, if you want to take something, you must first give it to it. If you want to catch a fish, you must first feed it some bait. What's more, as long as the price is big enough, you can hire a ghost or a real god to come down to earth, let alone an old woman from a witch clan.

Huh...

"What does Mr. Du mean by asking us to pay him a lot of money to make her come here?" Platoon Leader Huo said puzzledly, "Don't say that we poor soldiers don't have that much money. Even if it is allocated by the superior, it is estimated that she will come here."

That old monster is also hard to tempt!"

We also nodded one after another to express our agreement with what Platoon Leader Huo said. After all, the old monster from Widow Ridge, as a member of the witch sect, did not attach much importance to things outside of himself!

"You guys, you really think too simplistically! I was just making an analogy, and didn't I ask you to bribe me with gold and silver foil?" Old Man Du said with a smile, "As the saying goes, for drunkards, wine is not as good as pure water.

A cup; for a hungry man, a bowl of rice is worth a thousand taels of gold. Although the old monster in Widow Ridge does not love money, there are things in this world that can touch her heart..."

"What can touch that old monster's heart and make her willingly come out to help, Uncle Du?" Boss Liu asked very curiously.

"It's not gold, it's not silver, it's not pearls, it's not jade, it's people!" Mr. Du said with certainty, "Only people can make that old witch burst into tears of gratitude and willing to serve!"

"Human? What kind of person?" Boss Liu asked closely, "Could he be her mentor back then? Based on his age, he is probably no longer alive!"

"Haha, I don't know the whereabouts of her master, but I do know a brother who was separated from her back then!" Mr. Du said.

It turned out that when the old monster was fleeing with his family, one of his younger brothers accompanied his mother and got separated from her and an old servant.

Although the old monster has gone through ups and downs and changed his temperament greatly, he has not lost his family ties and is still searching for the whereabouts of his separated relatives over the years. Unfortunately, her younger brother, in order to avoid getting into trouble, has already changed his name and is living in a foreign country.

If a few of us can help her find her long-lost brother, she will definitely burst into tears. At that time, we will help her fulfill a long-cherished wish, which is considered a favor to her, and then ask her to help eradicate a strange bird.

Then it is logical and will happen naturally!

Thinking of this, we felt that it was a lot of trouble and troublesome, but we were more certain of success. If we could get the help of the old monster from Widow Ridge and get rid of a buzzard, it would be a sure thing.

Boss Liu hurriedly asked the old drunkard, that old monster's brother, where he lived now and what his last name was? If it was too far away, I'm afraid the distant water could not save the nearby fire. After all, Captain Hao shouldn't delay this matter for a long time.

The old drunkard told us that the reason why he suggested that we find the old monster's brother was because he was very close to here. Only a few dozen miles west of the city, there was a pool of water called Panlongdang.

A fisherman named Xing Sihai is actually the biological brother of the old witch from Widow Ridge.

It's just that Xing Sihai has kept his name anonymous for many years and has never mentioned his past to anyone. Naturally, it is not easy for him to reveal the truth to you.

So after you find him, you must try to make him trust you without anyone else around, so that he can reveal his feelings and look back on the past.

By the way, Xing Sihai's original surname was Zuo, and his father was General Zuo Qinhu Zuo who fought tooth and nail to suppress Sun Yat-sen's army in the late Qing Dynasty. Although he was not a Manchu, he was loyal to the Manchu Qing court...

After listening to Mr. Du's detailed instructions, we are very grateful. Unfortunately, the heavy responsibilities are still on our shoulders and have not been solved. It is not like being at ease and drinking happily like at the celebration party, so he made all arrangements and left early.

And go.

The next morning, a few of us reported the progress of the matter to Captain Hao truthfully. Captain Hao expressed understanding and hated Takeda Genki extremely. That guy had cast a poisonous curse on Captain Hao before his death.

, which almost turned him into ashes; after his death, he became a ghost, still trying to sneak attack and murder.

Therefore, Captain Hao was determined that after catching it, he would torture it to death in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

So after Captain Hao heard our plan, he quickly urged us to go to Panlongdang and try to catch the buzzard eagle, which was Takeda Xuanmu, as soon as possible.

We bid farewell to Captain Hao and rode straight to Panlongdang. We wished we could find Xing Sihai right away and take him to Widow Ridge with us so that they could reunite after a long separation--and then help us capture him.

That weird bird.

When we arrived at Panlongdang, we saw what a puddle of water and reeds! Above the vast water, there were several small islands above the water, covered with dense reeds, surrounded by lotus leaves and blossoming lotus flowers.

, red and green contrast with each other, water and sky are the same color, making people feel like a fairyland on earth...

On the shore of Panlongdang, there were quite a few people selling fish, lotus roots, and water chestnuts. We went up to inquire and asked them who was Xing Sihai, but those people shook their heads one after another, not sure what they meant was that they were not Xing Sihai.

Or Xing Sihai didn't live in Panlongdang at all.

Only one sister-in-law selling water chestnuts asked us quietly, what did you guys want to do with Xing Sihai? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

When we saw the sister-in-law's expression, we burst out laughing. It turned out that these were troubled times, and we, armed with knives and guns, were asking about a fisherman. They were worried that it would be detrimental to Xing Sihai, so they refused to identify him.

Brother Xiao Li quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Of course it's a good thing, it's a good thing. We are upright Communists and not Japanese or puppet soldiers. How could we do anything bad to him..."

.

After hearing what Xiao Li said, the sister-in-law told us that Xing Sihai did not live on the shore. Their whole family lived on the deserted island of Panlongdang, which was full of waterways. After a while, they sold out the fresh fish and lotus roots.

He took us there together by boat.

We could only wait patiently. After about half an hour, they had sold out their goods and were ready to sail back to Panlongdang.

The sister-in-law invited us to get on a larger fishing boat and started rowing towards the center of Panlongdang.

The fishermen saw that although we were armed with swords and guns, our words were polite and courteous, and we didn't have the slightest bit of military spirit, so they slowly started talking to us.

Speaking of Xing Sihai, one of the dark and thin men told us that Xing Sihai didn't like to talk much. Although he was quite enthusiastic towards others, he was always reluctant to mingle with others. He seemed quite worried and wary.
To be continued...
