Chapter 18 Blind Trigrams (1)

The snow continued for a whole day and night. This had both advantages and disadvantages for Xue Xian and Jiang Shining.

What is beneficial is that Jiang Shining, as the main force running errands, is a wild ghost who is afraid of yang energy. In the snowy days, the yang energy is insufficient and the yin energy is strong. It is convenient for him to stop eating just after dawn.

The disadvantage is...

"Raise your hand to help me block my face! Hurry! My head is about to be blown away by the wind!" Xue Xian shouted at Jiang Shining with full momentum.

With such a big demonic wind, he naturally could not sit on Jiang Shining's shoulders. In desperation, Jiang Shining could only hold him in his front and only reveal his head so that the restless goods could guide the country. However, this demonic wind did not follow the common sense at all, and could not be disorganized. The whistling east, west, south and north made people very annoyed.

Jiang Shining raised his hand with a green face, protecting his cardboard head while struggling forward in the demonic wind, "You can shrink your precious head into your clothes together."

Xue Xian refused firmly: "No, I'm afraid that you will go a step further after a turn of gods."

Jiang Shining: "..." Where did this blind man come from?

Xue Xian sneered: "When you enter the city, you will cry and ask me how I left."

Jiang Shining: “…”

What they were going to is Wolong County, two cities far away from Ningyang County, which is one of the counties in Linjiang and has an ancient ferry crossing.

That ferry is not big, there are not many passenger boats every day, and it is not the only one who can go to Anqing Mansion. The reason I have to cross the river is because Xue Xian wants to go there to find someone.

"There is a family in the east yard of the ferry. It should be two brothers, but it doesn't look very close. I have been there twice, and I saw them clamoring for both times. The older ones are good at it. I have to ask him to help me see the golden beads. He might find where the person who sold the golden beads to Master Liu." Xue Xian said to Jiang Shining.

Since he has been there twice, it means he is really a reliable expert. Jiang Shining naturally had no objection and rushed to Wolong County.

In order to avoid the trouble of entering and leaving the city, they specially bypassed the two county towns in the middle, and walked along the mountain roads. One of them was a dragon and the other was a ghost, and they were used to walking at night. It should be nothing terrible.

However, there are rumors that there are some bandits wandering in the mountains and forests in this area, which is not a good deal, but it is also a problem for the chariots and horses that are coming and going. Because Xue Xian was holding a golden pearl, Jiang Shining was full of courage, fearing that he would come up and tear them alive.

When he saw the traces of fighting with swords and axes on several walls of the abandoned temple where he was resting, and saw dry dark red blood in the corner of the door, this worry reached its peak.

But for some reason, they didn't even meet a living bandit along the way. Occasionally they encountered a carriage and horse passing by, and they could turn it back into paper and take a ride.

Anyway, the calm was a bit strange.

Until the fourth day, when they walked outside the destination city gate without any damage, Jiang Shining still couldn't believe it: "Are we so lucky?"

"Others are not afraid of thieves stealing, but are afraid of thieves thinking about them. You are the only one who cares about thieves all day long." Xue Xian looked up at the city gate.

"Wolong County——" Jiang Shining recited the three big words and said, "It is said that any place name with the word "dragon" is a place where a real dragon appeared. This Wolong County sounds like a real dragon slept here."

Xue Xian looked disgusted: "This county town with a larger slap is not even enough to step on, so you have just slept!"

Jiang Shining looked at him blankly: "I didn't say anything to you?"

They happened to come and it happened to be the fifth day of the day. The bells that were proclaiming morning rang out from the city, one after another, and spread from the inside to the outside. After the lingering sound of the fifth bell stopped, the city gate was slowly opened.

When guarding the city and opening the door, Jiang Shining avoided the corner, intending to take advantage of the night before it faded and slipped in from the door, so as not to have some indescribable trouble during the inspection. But as soon as he took a step back, he felt something was hurt on his heel.

"What?" Xue Xian asked.

Jiang Shining squatted down, pulled apart the snow on his footprints, and found a slightly deformed iron piece.

With the light of the lantern on the city wall, Xue Xian narrowed his eyes and identified it, and saw that the iron piece was about the size of a thumb, with a rough wolf head engraved on the other side, but the name was cut by someone with a knife. It was not big enough to find out the original appearance.

"It's another one." Jiang Shining muttered, and took out a similar piece of iron from his arms.

This was picked up by him before under a Buddha statue in the abandoned temple. There was a drop of dark blood on it. The side with the name written was also scratched in a mess, and the words could not be distinguished at all.

Xue Xian said: "Please hold it first."

Jiang Shining put both iron pieces back and no longer delayed it. He hurriedly walked into the city along the crack in the door while guarding the city without paying attention.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he was stunned.

The appearance of Wolong County is far from that of Ningyang County. You can hardly see a straight street at a glance, all of which are intersecting in a circle. At first glance, it looks like a messy maze.

Jiang Shining held it in for a while, finally lowered his head to Xue Xian: "How to go this road?"

Xue Xian held Jinzhu proudly, shook his head and said, "At the street intersection in front, there is a slash of Zhang's pastry shop in the east."

"Did you see the stall selling sesame sweet cakes? Turn west around that corner."

"Which fork has the flavor of fresh soup wontons? Yes, just walk on that fork."

...

After several streets and alleys, Jiang Shining was starved by his command. He was born as a wild ghost. It was really a ghost who knew how long he had not felt hungry.

"You are blind, do you rely on food to remember the road?" He asked without any slightest expression.

Xue Xian hugged Jinzhu and nodded: "Yes. If you walk more and talk less, it will be dawn. Then you will be through a braised meat shop and a Baishun restaurant!"

Jiang Shining rolled his eyes silently.

Although the way the ancestors recorded the road was a bit annoying, they chose the shortcuts. Sure enough, after walking through Baishun Restaurant, Jiang Shining saw a ferry hidden in the snow fog in the distance. The flags were roaring in the wind, and there seemed to be a few passenger boats on the shore.

Jiang Shining held his hands in order to cover the paper-cut man with his head protruding his head in front, and walked towards the yard area east of the ferry with his neck shrank and pushed the wind.

"Ancestor, can you sit firmly and don't move? I won't pick you up when the wind blows." Jiang Shining talked angrily.

Xue Xian twisted his head and looked at the street next to him for several times, and tskated: "Why do I always feel that there are people behind me?"

Jiang Shining subconsciously stood firm and simply turned around and looked around for a week, "I didn't see any strange people. Did the snowflakes always float across the side of their eyes and see it wrong?"

"Maybe." Xue Xian muttered, retracting his neck, barely calming down.

He thought to himself: If someone really follows him, the snow on the ground will make a "crunch" sound when you step on it, and there is no reason not to hear it. Maybe I'm really thinking too much...

Under Xue Xian's guidance, Jiang Shining soon came to a remote door house in the yard. It was said that it was a door house, so he raised it. From outside the wall, the yard was as small as a chicken cage. The door was single and old and mottled. Because of the humidity, there were even moldy spots on the corners of the door, and no one cared about it.

It can be seen that this resident is not a good person to live.

"Knock on the door." Xue Xian said.

Jiang Shining was used to being reserved and was very elegant when knocking on the door. Three "tick tick" sounds, light and slow. Xue Xian felt a toothache, "You mosquito hums the door, you can see the hell if you hear it. One of them has an ear that has been hurt. Don't worry, knock it boldly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shining helped increase his strength, and while reciting "Forgive the sins and forgive the sins", he knocked several times.

After a while, there was finally a little "crunching" footsteps in the yard.

I don’t know if it’s because the snow is difficult to walk on, but it sounds a little... staggering?

"How old are those brothers?" Jiang Shining couldn't help asking.

"Oh." Xue Xian replied, "The younger one is about eight or nine years old, and the older one is about sixteen or seventeen."

Jiang Shining was stunned: "What? Are you looking for something to ask for divination?"

Just as he was stunned, the single old wooden door was suddenly pulled open from inside.

"Thief! Get out!!"

A childish roar came from the door.

Then there was a rustling sound. A large basin of water of unknown origin poured on the face, pouring Jiang Shining, who was unable to react, through the unresponsiveness!

After all, Jiang Shining's original body was a piece of paper. After being splashed with water, she immediately shuddered, her whole body became soft and fell to the ground weakly. Xue Xian in his arms was also not spared, and she fell out wet, stuck to the wet ground with a squirt. The golden beads in his arms rolled out, and happened to roll to the door.

The person in the door threw away the wooden basin in his hand with a bang, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the golden bead by the door into his hand, and then hurriedly got up and closed the door.

Just as Xue Xian was stuck on the ground and was full of anger and was about to start scolding, a warm hand fell from the sky and lifted him off the ground.

The hand was still filled with a familiar smell of bitter medicine. Xue Xian sneezed immediately. He lowered his head with wet, and he couldn't stand it straight, so he couldn't help but explode, "Bald donkey! Did I dig your ancestral grave or dig your tomb? What did you do to stare at me alone?! Are you fucking tired after chasing eight hundred miles? Hum!"

A cold and faint voice sounded on Xue Xian’s head: “If you have time to worry about it, don’t be tired.”

"..." Xue Xian was about to vomit blood, and he immediately wanted to plant his head down into the river!

The person standing in front of this chicken coop courtyard is nothing but Xuan Min.

He saw him holding the wet Xue Xian, picking up Jiang Shining, who was splashed back into the prototype, clamping the two between his fingers, and then pushing open the wooden door without hesitation.

He strode into the yard, grabbed the "little thief" who was running away in a hurry, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Don't be greedy if you are not yourself, return the golden beads."
