Rent Affair

Chapter 39 Blackheaded Snake

Wang Gandang saw that I was in a daze, stepped forward and patted my shoulder, and said with a smile, "A lot of things are in the past, and the most important thing is to cherish what is in front of you!" He said, pointing to the door behind the seat.

I nodded, the past is nothing like the present, I walked to the door and opened the door, there was a passage behind the door, I went down the passage, and there was a cell, only Xiaoying was imprisoned in this cell, I kicked open the cell When she heard the sound of the door, she looked up and saw that it was me, two tears came out of her eyes, she stood up and threw herself into my arms.

Xiaoying hugged me tightly and cried, "I know you came back to save me, I've been waiting..."

I hugged her, not knowing how much she had been wronged in this prison.

Wang Gandang who was standing behind coughed twice, saying don't be lingering here, don't forget that this is still in Wanjun's dungeon, when she repents, none of the three of us can escape.

These words reminded me, holding Xiaoying's hand and walking out of the hotel, Wang Gandang said that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, and I should go to South Sichuan City to rest first, and then make plans.

This South Sichuan City is located in the south of Qinchuan, not far from Qinchuan City. It is also a hilly land with beautiful scenery. Since Qinchuan City was reduced to this purgatory on earth, the population of South Sichuan City has dropped sharply, and many people have moved to other places. I'm afraid that people fleeing from Qinchuan City will disturb the normal order.

Xiaoying and I discussed it, no matter where we go, it's better to leave this place first.

The three of us drove the six-handed Alto all the way to South Sichuan City. Xiaoying was exhausted and fell asleep all the way. Wang Gandang and I kept our conversations extremely low, fearing that we might wake her up.

I asked Wang Gandang, how did he get the photo on his shoulder bag?

I have seen that snake many times before. Wanjun said that she had found a black-headed snake for me, and it is probably the snake in the photo.

Wang Gandang dug out the photo in the shoulder bag, took a look, and asked me if I wanted to hear the legend about the black-headed snake.

I reminded me, don't take off your pants and fart, just speak up if you have anything to say.

Wang Gandang lit a cigarette and said that the black-headed snake was said to be the patron saint of the gods. It was relegated to the mortal world because of a mistake.

Although this black-headed snake was relegated to the mortal world, one of them cultivated human form and recorded what it saw and heard while guarding the gods, and wrote a book called "Shenwen". , the book "Shen Wen" was lost in the world, and it is nowhere to be found. It is rumored that as long as you get this book, you can break through the secrets and become immortals.

I saw that Wang Gandang said it so mysteriously, a black-headed snake can be cultivated into a human form, but it is just a guard guarding treasures, if what it sees and hears can turn a mortal into a fairy, then all the disciples in the four great secret realms will eventually die Throughout his life, his aptitude was outstanding, and he could not be ranked among the immortals. Legends are legends after all, and cannot be fully believed.

But in my mind, there was a black-headed snake in the book that Chen Changan was flipping through. Could it be possible that this book really existed?It's just that mortals can't understand the secrets of heaven, so they can't sit on the ground and become immortals.

Wang Gandang shook the photo in his hand, saying that the black-headed snake is extremely poisonous, but removing the pustules on the top of the head can cure all diseases, but few people have seen this snake, and even if they have, most of them died of poison and died without a lifetime. return.

I asked Wang Gandang where the photo in his hand came from.

Wang Gandang smiled, and said, this photo was a few years ago when he visited a small town, and a person in the town sold an old film camera. He bought it and found it in the negatives.

I wanted to ask where the small town was, but I turned my hand a few times with the camera to make sure it was true as Wang Gandang said, the person who saw the black-headed snake at that time would have died long ago.

Wang Gandang glanced at Xiaoying who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, lowered his voice, and asked if I had thought about remembering the things that were sealed in my mind?
I nodded and said, I had this idea before, but I promised Xiaoying that I would not use external force to think about it.

To this day, I can guess that there must be things that Xiaoying doesn't want me to think of in this memory stored in my mind, just like Jun Jun, so what if I think of it, it just adds a little bit of melancholy, or everything goes smoothly It's natural, you will think of it when you think of it, you don't have to force it.

The car drove all the way into Chuannan City, I woke up Xiaoying, the three of them gathered in a small restaurant on the street, entered a private room, ordered a table of food, Wang Gandang looked at his stomach, and shouted "Qinchuan City" Go all the way and lose weight!
Xiaoying and I looked at each other and laughed loudly. Although Wang Gandang put in a lot of effort this time with Qin Chuan and his party, he was still far away from starvation and thin. A year and a half can't be reduced!
Wang Gandang smiled awkwardly, and said that he would not take a single bite of the food, and that he was trying to lose weight now, but when he touched his chopsticks, he untied his trouser belt. He forgot what he had just said, and started to eat, eating meat and wine with one mouthful. , It's so uncomfortable to eat.

The three of us were eating happily, and we heard the sound of someone ordering food outside the private room. coming?"

I looked out through the crack of the door and saw Chen Chang'an sitting on the table outside the private room with two plates of side dishes in front of him, but he didn't move his chopsticks, he was flipping through an ancient book in his hand.

Wang Gandang was so forgetful about eating, he greeted us to drink and eat meat, I told him to keep his voice down, he stopped pouring the wine into his mouth, and asked us what was wrong, making us very nervous.

I said softly, Chen Changan was right outside the door.

Lingbei County, where Chen Changan lives, is thousands of kilometers away from Chuannan County. It is really incomprehensible that he suddenly appeared in front of him.

Wang Gandang complained and said, thinking it was a big deal, Xiaoying was captured by someone, and the senior brother came to redeem him, such a simple matter made it so complicated, after finishing speaking, Wang Gandang raised his hand and drank a glass of wine .

Having said that, I have a vague feeling that this matter is by no means what Wang Gandang said. Chen Changan came here not only for Xiaoying, but also for other purposes...

Xiaoying wants to go out to find Chen Changan, and tell him that she has already come out, and there is no need for him to exchange anything.

I stopped her and told her not to go out and check the situation in the private room.

After hearing what I said, Xiaoying calmed down and sat on the chair, looking out through the small opening of the door.

After a while, I saw a man walking in from the outside. This man was wearing a long gown, a bamboo hat, and a black veil on his face. Among the diners eating in the restaurant, his attire looked out of place, especially conspicuous.

The man walked up to Chen Changan and sat down, took out two photos from his pocket and put them on the table. When Chen Changan saw the photos, he put down the ancient book in his hand and asked, "Where did these photos come from?"

The man shook his head, and stretched out his hand to take back the photo, Chen Changan hurriedly said, "I don't ask, just make an offer!"

The man was silent for a moment, pointed to the ancient book in front of Chen Changan, and said, "It's too vulgar to talk about money, how about bartering things?"

No matter how you look at it, the value of this ancient book far exceeds those of the two photos. No matter who it is, no one would make such a foolish transaction. Unexpectedly, Chen Changan handed over the ancient book without hesitation, and said, "This ancient book in my hand is equivalent to Instead of using waste paper, it would be more practical to exchange for something that is valuable to me!"

After what he said, I was even more curious about the two photos he held in his hand. What is in these photos that can be more valuable than this ancient book?
The man put the ancient book in his arms, didn't stay long, stood up and walked straight to the door.

With a smug expression on his face, Chen Chang'an looked at the photo in his hand for a long time before putting away the photo, took a few bites of food, drank a glass of wine, paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant.

Wang Gandang was full of wine and food, leaned back on the back of the chair, lit a cigarette, and said to himself, "A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god! Walk a hundred steps after a meal, and live 99 years!"

I rolled his eyes at him, ignored him, and asked Xiaoying if he had seen the ancient book that Chen Changan exchanged.
Xiaoying Liu frowned lightly, pondered for a while, and suddenly said that the ancient book was handed down by his master, and said that if she could understand the mystery in the book, she would become an immortal and be in the immortal class, but her aptitude was too mediocre, Chen Chang'an's aptitude was acceptable, so he passed this book on to Chen Chang'an.

When Wang Gandang heard Xiaoying's words, his eyes widened immediately, and he asked urgently if that book was "Shenwen"?
Xiaoying was puzzled, and asked what "Shenwen"?
Seeing that Xiaoying didn't know anything, Wang Gandang couldn't help sighing and leaned back on the chair, patted Lao Gao's beer belly, showing a look of disappointment.

Wang Gandang was so excited about that book. It seems that this book really exists. If what Chen Changan said just now is true, the ancient book he exchanged is probably "Shenwen", but what is it in that photo? Can he even exchange this divine book?
I hurriedly called the boss to pay the bill, but Wang Gandang called me to stop, saying why did the bill come so quickly, he hadn't had enough rest yet.

I said what I thought, and before the boss finished the calculation, Wang Gandang took out a wad of money from his pocket and patted it on the table, and said generously, "No need to look for it!" After finishing speaking, he rushed out of the restaurant alone, He went straight after the man wearing the bamboo hat just now.

Seeing this, Xiaoying and I followed quickly, but the man in the bamboo hat disappeared after a while when he walked out of the restaurant. Wang Gandang stomped his feet and complained that the meat that reached his mouth flew away...

Everyone who cultivates the Tao longs to become a fairy. Although Wang Gandang is a lay disciple, his desire for this is no less than that of the disciples of the main school.

Wang Gandang said that he would take this opportunity to find the whereabouts of the ancient books and practice traveling by the way.

Xiaoying and I were not interested in this matter. Wang Gandang cupped his hands and saluted, "The mountains and rivers meet each other. If there is a destiny, see you in the rivers and lakes!" Step by step, he hummed a little song and walked towards the distance. The sunset gradually set, and his figure disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun...

After discussing with Xiaoying and I, we first went to Wang Jianmin to help him solve the evil matter, and then decided where to travel. The scenery is not important, the most important thing is the people around us.

The two of us took the first train and went straight to City N. We stopped a taxi at the station and reported the address of Wang Jianmin’s house. Do you want to go there?

Hearing this, I panicked, and wondered if something happened to Wang Jianmin during the past few months?

I was busy asking the driver what was going on?
The driver said he didn't know, just heard some rumors.
