Second Master Qi took a puff of dry cigarette and said to Sanyuan's daughter-in-law: "Xiuying, that's what happened. Professor Wen suspects that the people in the village being poisoned has something to do with the tea last night!"
"What!?" Sanyuan's daughter-in-law immediately became anxious, "Don't you suspect that I poisoned the tea?"
Wen Qingshan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone. This matter must have nothing to do with my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is only responsible for boiling water and making tea. When the tea is just brewed, the water temperature is too high and is not suitable for poisoning. Therefore, it should be
The poison was discovered after the tea had cooled down."
Sanyuan's daughter-in-law thought for a while and said: "A large bucket of tea was brewed in the afternoon. After it was brewed, it was placed in the yard. By the time everyone came in the evening, it was basically not hot anymore. Could it be that someone had boiled it at that time?
Poisoned?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "It must have been at that time! There were many people and things going on at that time. If someone took advantage of the chaos to put poison in the tea bucket, no one would probably find it."
"Who on earth would do this? We in Qiping Village haven't offended anyone!" Bai Sanyuan was very puzzled. It was obvious that he didn't know about the Dashun Treasure and the Heisha Ghost Sect.
Second Master Qi glanced at him and said, "Sanyuan, go to the kitchen and help Xiuying prepare the dishes. I have something to talk to Huang Daochang and the others."
Bai Sanyuan always obeyed his father's words, and without asking why, he immediately stood up and led his wife into the kitchen.
Second Master Qi took a puff of dry cigarette and said slowly: "Professor Wen, do you think what happened today has anything to do with the group of people you said killed Xiao Wu?"
Before Wen Qingshan could answer, Huang Yixian rushed to the side and replied: "Why don't you say it! It was obviously those guys who did this! Mr. Qi, those guys have already started to attack, although we stopped them this time
, but they will definitely not give up. Because if they want to open the treasure, the villagers of Qiping Village will be the biggest obstacle!"
Second Master Qi murmured: "I didn't expect these guys to be so vicious!"
Huang Yixian took the opportunity to persuade: "Second Master Qi, if this Dashun treasure is buried under the village, it is equivalent to a time bomb. It may explode at any time and endanger the lives of the whole village. Therefore, you should cooperate with us to get rid of it as soon as possible.
It was excavated. This Dashun treasure was originally a treasure that King Chuang plundered from the Ming Dynasty treasury, and it should be returned to the country for processing."
Second Master Qi pondered for a long time, sighed, and said: "Well, our Bai family has guarded this treasure for more than three hundred years, and what is supposed to come will eventually come. Even now, I will not hide it from you.
In fact, I know a little bit about the Black Demon Cult that you mentioned."
"You knew this already?" We were all surprised.
Second Master Qi nodded and told us a past event that happened more than sixty years ago:
"After the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Japs occupied Liangxian County. Because Qiping Village was located in a remote area, it did not suffer from the war. However, one day after the ice and snow in the mountains had just melted, a group of Japs soldiers suddenly came to the village.
.
The Japs gathered all the villagers and set up machine guns on several hills. The villagers thought that the Japs were going to massacre the village, and they were all frightened. At this moment, the then master of Qiyun Temple, Xu Guzhenren, stood up
When he came out, he said to everyone: "The imperial army came to Qiping Village to find the legendary treasure of King Chuang. As long as everyone actively cooperates in finding the treasure, not only will nothing happen, but after the treasure is found, everyone will get a gift."
Big reward.'
Although the villagers were afraid of the Japs, they believed in what Master Xu Gu said. So in the following period, the young and middle-aged labor force in the village carried a hoe and dug around the village every day, looking for the so-called Dashun.
treasure.
However, more than ten days have passed, and not even a single silver ingot has been found, let alone treasure.
The villagers began to suspect that the Japanese might have mistaken the place, but no one dared to mention it in front of the Japanese.
At that time, I was still a kid of twelve or thirteen years old. Although I was young, I was very courageous. Because those Japanese soldiers liked to tease me and often gave me sweets when they teased me, so I had nothing to do every day.
I ran to the old house where the Japanese were stationed. One day, I overheard the conversation between Master Xu Gu and a Japanese officer and a mysterious man in black.
Master Xugu called the man in black a holy envoy and was silent to him. Even the Japanese officer treated him with respect. The man in black asked Master Xugu why he had been digging for so long but still could not find the treasure.
Gu Zhenren told Hei
The man in black said the treasure was buried near Qiping Village, but he didn't know where it was. To find out, he had to go to the nearby cave to look for clues. The man in black immediately asked the Japanese officer to send a pair of Japanese soldiers.
Go look for it in a nearby cave.
At that time, I didn’t take the conversation between the three of them to heart. But when I went home and told my dad about it, my dad’s face suddenly changed. I felt very strange. When I asked, I
Only then did my father tell me that the Dashun Treasure is indeed real, and that our Bai family is here to protect this treasure.
Only then did he take root in Qipan Valley. However, no one else in the village knew about the existence of the treasure except him and Master Xugu. What he didn’t expect was that Master Xugu would recruit Japanese soldiers to search for the treasure. My father also
Tell me, the clues about the treasure are hidden in the cave near Qiping Village.
Later, I intentionally or unintentionally eavesdropped on several conversations between Master Xu Gu and the man in black, and then I realized that the descendants of Qiyun Temple believed in Taoism on the surface, but secretly believed in some kind of black devil.
Cult! They said they were guarding the treasure for King Chuang, but in fact they were guarding the treasure for the Heisha Gui Cult. Moreover, the Heisha Gui Cult had colluded with the Japs, which is why the Japs soldiers were recruited.
It's a pity that the team of Japanese soldiers who went to the cave to look for clues to the treasure never came out. My dad said that it was the mountain gods of Qipan Valley who were protecting the treasure.
Not long after, the Chinese army began to counterattack. Seeing that they had gained nothing, the Japanese soldiers thought that Master Xu Gu had deceived them, so they withdrew one of his legs.
After this incident, no one came here to look for the treasure for decades, and the villagers gradually believed that the so-called treasure was just an unrealistic imagination of the Japanese at the last desperate moment. But I know that this treasure
It really exists, and I also know that the descendants of Qiyun Temple have always harbored evil thoughts. So in the ** period, I tried to get rid of them by getting rid of them.
Taking the opportunity of the Four Olds, he led the villagers to destroy Qiyun Temple, and brought Mr. Hao Sanye, who was the master of Qiyun Temple at that time, back to the village, hoping that he could live a normal life again. Who would have thought that after more than 20 years,
Later, he almost never interacted with other people in the village. Most of the time, he locked himself in the house. No one knew what he was doing, let alone what he was thinking.
I thought he had been unable to adapt to the life in the village because he had been in the mountains for too long, but what I didn’t expect was that he was still thinking about this treasure, and he also attracted people from the Black Demon Sect again!"
Everyone was shocked after listening to Mr. Qi's story. Unexpectedly, it turned out that more than sixty years ago, the Black Demon Sect had colluded with the Japanese to search for treasures in Qiping Village, but they failed to find the treasures in the end.
Turn it on.
Huang Yixian couldn't help but sigh: "It's really interesting. Although the descendants of Qiyun Temple kept the secret of the treasure, they only knew that there was such a treasure, but they didn't know where the treasure was hidden. In the end, the little devil returned without success, and even harmed
I lost one of my legs."
Wen Qingshan said: "This is actually understandable, because as long as you are a human, you may reveal the secret of the treasure. Therefore, the best way to keep it secret is to not let anyone know the specific location of the treasure."
After thinking about it for a while, I felt that something was not right about this matter, so I raised my head and said: "Since Master Xu Gu lost the trust of the Black Evil Sect in him more than sixty years ago, why is it that the Black Evil Sect now
Do you believe in the existence of this treasure again? How did Mr. Hao and Bai Xiaowu convince those guys with empty words?"
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "There are two possibilities. First, Mr. Hao and Bai Xiaowu accidentally obtained some key evidence that can fully prove the existence of the treasure. Second, although these guys this time also
The followers of the Black Evil Cult are not the same group as the man in black more than sixty years ago. They are just like many terrorists who believe in extreme religions today. Although they believe in the same doctrines, they have different sects. Presumably
The same is true for the Black Devil Cult."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Qi said: "In my opinion, they are the same group of people."
Wen Qingshan asked in confusion: "Second Master Qi, why do you think so?"
Second Master Qi said: "Because three months ago, I saw the man in black again."
Wen Qingshan was slightly startled: "The man in black? Which man in black? You are not talking about the man in black who came with the Japanese sixty years ago, are you?"
Second Master Qi nodded.
We looked at each other and couldn't believe it. Huang Yixian said: "Second Master Qi, you are mistaken! How could he be the same person as he was more than sixty years ago? Think about it, you were only a teenager at the time.
, he is over seventy now, so if this guy lived to this day, he would be almost a hundred years old! Maybe he is just wearing similar clothes."
However, Mr. Qi insisted firmly: "No! No! It's him! I clearly remember his eyes, which are very unique. You can't see the whites of the eyes at all, and the eyeballs almost occupy the entire eye socket. It's so scary. When I was a child, I just
After looking into those eyes once, I still have nightmares more than half a year later."
After hearing what Second Master Qi said, Wen Qingshan turned to Huang Yixian and asked: "Master Huang, what do you think?"
Huang Yixian said solemnly: "The lack of white eyes, according to the book, is a sign of demonization."
