Qi Yu Millennium

"What does it matter to us where she lives?" King Kong Pao grabbed the clothes on the side and covered the woman to hide her embarrassment.

"We are about to enter the wilderness, we must know some of the situation inside, it would be foolish to rush in rashly." I shook my head and said.Based on the situation of this woman, I can now deduce two conclusions. One is that there is Taoism or witchcraft in the barren land, and the other is that this kind of Taoism or witchcraft is different from what we usually come into contact with. Otherwise, this It is impossible for a woman to keep her body alive after being deprived of her aura.

"What should we do now?" King Kong Pao yawned. He ate too much for dinner, and he tended to get sleepy after eating too much.

"Call the proprietress up for me." I pondered for a moment and said.

"Success." King Kong Pao nodded in agreement, then went downstairs and called up the proprietress who was packing up.

"Call me if you have anything to do." King Kong Cannon finished the task and went to sleep next door.

"Guest officer, what's your order?" The landlady's eyes lit up when she saw me, to be precise, she saw my heavy package.

"Where does this woman usually live?" I pointed to the woman lying on the stretcher.This woman is no different from a vegetative person. Even if she doesn't need to eat and defecate, there must always be someone to take care of her.

"She is Sun Magan's woman, and she lives in the street behind." The proprietress raised her hand and pointed back.

"I'll ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them truthfully." I raised my hand and took out a handful of silver ingots from the package. The silver ingots are 32 taels each, and I can grab three with my open palm.

Seeing this, the proprietress hastily stretched out her hands to accept it. I turned the three silver ingots in my hands, but did not hand them over to her immediately.

"Who is Sun Magan?" I asked.

"He is a low-spirited scumbag. He has lived in this town for many years. He doesn't make a living on weekdays. He goes around doing dirty things. He often comes to small shops to buy wine on credit. When he owes money for the wine, he let this woman Come out and pay for it." After the proprietress finished speaking, she looked at the silver ingot in my hand anxiously.

"How old is he? What is his relationship with this woman?" I asked.

"An old man in his fifties or sixties, this woman was brought out of the mountains by him when he was young." The proprietress replied hastily.

"Did you recite it? Was she like this from the beginning?" I asked with a frown.

"I hadn't come here at that time, and everyone else said so." The proprietress replied out of words.

"Since she was already unconscious at that time, how did you know her name?" I threw out a silver coin, and the latter quickly caught it like a pug waiting for food and put it into his arms.

"According to what Sun Magan said, this woman was wearing white clothes before, and Magan was the fourth eldest at home. Everyone called her the fourth younger sister before, and the fourth mother was only recently called away." Dading, no longer eagerly look at the remaining two ingots in my hand.

"Oh." I frowned and nodded. It seems that my previous analysis was correct. This woman is indeed from the remote mountains.

"Guest officer, this woman seems to be from the Bai tribe." The proprietress listened to me and hurriedly added, trying to get another ingot.

"Tell me." I looked up at her.

"There was a man from the Huang family who was resting in the small shop and met Siniang. According to him, Siniang is from the Bai nationality." A name for a tribe. The clothes worn by these four tribes are white, black, red and yellow, so outsiders call them by the color of their clothes. In fact, outsiders don't know what their tribe is called.

"Did the people from the Huang clan save her from leaving?" I asked with a frown.

"How could he be so kind, fortunately Si Niang doesn't feel pain, otherwise he would definitely kill him." The proprietress showed panic.It seemed that she had seen something that made her feel horrified.

"Let's go, take me to see that Sun Magan." I said and stood up.

The proprietress didn't refuse when she saw that I wanted to see Sun Magan, and immediately called the waiter to come up and carry the woman.

"This woman stays here first, let's go see him." I shook my head and said.No matter who this woman is, if I meet her, I won't let her be tortured again, even if she doesn't feel it.

"Okay, okay." Seeing this, the proprietress immediately bent down and agreed, and then took me out of the inn and walked towards the back street.

It was after nine o'clock in the evening, and there were occasional pedestrians on the street. After seeing my package, they all started to peep at me, but they didn't dare to follow me because of the sword hanging on my waist. Looking at it from a distance, this scene made me sneer. In fact, the most powerful thing about your Daoist is not the sword on his waist.

The house Sun Magan lived in was very dilapidated, a semi-civilian building, and there were many snakes and insects in the barbaric land, so the foundation of the house was very high. When he stepped over the dilapidated threshold, a pungent smell came oncoming, because the south is relatively humid , so the whole room is full of musty smell, and there are not many decent furniture and decorations in the house. There is an earthen platform for cooking in the middle of the main room. Sun Magan is lying on the wooden bed in the room and sleeping soundly. There is a wooden door in the room. nothing.

Sun Magan is naturally a nickname, but this person can indeed be described as Magan, because he is tall and thin, with a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of less than 60 catties. He was addicted to alcohol and emptied his body. This person was about [-] years old, with a distilled nose and eyes narrowed.

The proprietress stepped forward to push him a few times but failed to wake him up, she went to the outer room to scoop up a ladle of cold water and poured it on Sun Magan's head and face.

"Oh, what kind of bastard's pastime master." Sun Magan jumped up from the bed at once. He wanted to get angry, but when he saw the inn proprietress, he softened immediately, "Er Niang, don't push me so hard." Sun Magan owed the proprietress a lot of wine money, thinking that the proprietress was here to collect the debt.In addition, people in this place have a very distinctive feature in their speech, that is, they call young women Meier, older women are sisters, and older women are called mothers.

"Grandpa God of Wealth is here, it's good for you to speak well." The proprietress pointed at me.

"Is Bai Siniang your woman?" I took a few steps back to avoid this wretched guy with bad breath. In ancient times, I used saponin moso bamboo to brush my teeth, but this guy definitely doesn't brush his teeth.

"Two coins." Sun Magan raised two fingers to answer the question.

"I'm going to buy her." I said with a frown.

"Not for sale." Sun Magan replied quite simply.

"32 taels." I said with a sneer. I don't believe that there is still a business in the world that can't be closed, it's nothing more than the price.

"No, not for sale." Sun Magan hesitated for a moment, shaking his head and refusing.

"64 taels." In my eyes, silver is not much different from bricks, and we are about to enter the mountains, so it is useless to bring so many taels.

"No, no, no..." Sun Magan's eyes widened, but he still wanted to take the opportunity to increase the price.Seeing this, I turned around and made a gesture to leave. I am not a fool if I have money. What is the concept of 64 taels? It is enough for one person to build a house and buy land for the rest of his life.

"It's a lot, it's knocked." Sun Magan turned back to the topic at the last moment, not selling became a lot. As for knocking, it may mean a deal, and the local dialect is not sure.

"I'm going to get the writing documents from the study room." The proprietress heard that Sun Magan let go, and immediately ran away with a smile on her face, her buttocks twisted, seeing that the virtuous Sun Magan owed her a lot of money.

"Where did you meet this woman?" I asked while turning the silver ingot in my hand.Part of the reason why I bought this woman was because I wanted to know where Sun Magan retrieved her back then, and the other part was because I wanted to find out why this woman who lost her three souls was able to live forever, whether it was because of her abnormal constitution or The spells she practiced before are miraculous.

"In the mountains." Sun Magan made a gesture and pulled me to sit down, and I took a few steps back again to avoid his dirty hands touching me.

"Tell me what happened, I have another gift." I threw the two ingots of silver in my hand to him.

Sun Magan said tremblingly that he would pick up the silver ingots that had fallen to the ground, and after hearing the sound of two colliding with each other, he put the silver ingots into his sleeve and started talking.

Sun Magan's ancestral home is from the north. When he was young, he committed a serious crime of beheading and ran to the wild frontier to seek refuge. After coming here, he had no capital to do business, and he was too lazy to earn a living, so he relied on his previous experience as a pharmacy apprentice for a few days. The skill of knowing herbs imitated the barbarians who went to the mountains to collect herbs to try their luck. Once they entered the mountains, they found that the wild mountains were different from the northern mountains and forests. Because the climate here is warm and humid, the trees are green all year round, and the tall canopy covers the The sun, you can't even see the sun after entering the deep forest, so this Sun Magan successfully lost his way when he entered the mountain for the first time.

Not only did he get lost, but he was completely lost. There was no distinction between the south, the north, and the north. The man who dug up earthworms and drank bird eggs wandered in the woods for half a month, and finally found a large ancient city between four mountain peaks. Abandoned, surrounded by vines, Sun Magan wandered around the ancient city for a long time, but found no gold or silver, but found a young girl in an abandoned room, that is, Bai Siniang .At that time, Sun Magan thought that he had encountered a demon, and after he approached bravely, he found that Bai Siniang was a beautiful girl, so he recited her with "great kindness".

"Was she put there by someone, or was she lying there casually?" I asked with a frown.An ordinary person can walk sixty miles a day in the mountains, and it is only a thousand miles in half a month. It seems that the abandoned ancient city that Sun Magan discovered is not far from here.

"Lying in the corner." Sun Magan replied immediately.

"Are there signs of fighting around?" I asked.Lying casually in the corner shows that Bai Siniang was not sent there by someone, maybe she was chased there and abolished her cultivation base to take away the three souls.

"Never noticed." Sun Magan shook his head and said.

"Can you still find that abandoned ancient city?" I took out another ingot of silver from the package.

"I can't find it, I can't find it." Sun Magan shook his head like a drum.There are two possibilities for the reason why he shook his head. One may be that he really can't find the path, and the other may be that he is too old and in poor health to dare to enter the mountain.

"How many days did it take you to return?" I gave up the idea of ​​letting him lead the way.

"More than a month, thank you, thank you." Sun Magan's eyes fixed on the silver ingot in my hand.

"Are there any strange buildings in the ancient city?" I didn't give him the silver ingot right away.

"There are many chimneys there, and the largest one is seven or eight feet high." Sun Magan seemed a little disappointed when he saw that I didn't give him the silver ingot.

Sun Magan’s words made me suspicious. Seven or eight feet is more than 20 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a six or seven-story building. Why do such tall chimneys be erected in the abandoned ancient city...
