strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 57 [The coffin appeared again]

"Go back to the county office first, I'm going to a place, if the county lord asks, he will say that Zhang has something to do..."

At this moment, Zhang Jingxu looked extremely vigorous and resolute. After speaking, she turned around and strode towards a certain direction.

Yun Jingshu was slightly taken aback, Little Bell gently tugged on her skirt, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you tell me? Is he my father? Is it the Zhang Jingxu you knew back then?"

Yun Jingshu was startled again, subconsciously said: "He..."

After only saying one word, he shook his head vigorously and said, "How is it possible, you girl is thinking wildly again."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Jingxu's back, stretched out his hand and gently tugged on the small bell, and said, "Let's follow up and see what he's going to do! If my guess is correct, there may be old men in this city."

Little Bell was suddenly excited, his eyes sparkled and he said: "Okay, okay, let's follow secretly, and watch him show off his supernatural power, and watch him kill the weirdness."

Get rid of the weirdness?

Yun Jingshu was startled again.

She looked at Zhang Jingxu's back, her gaze was slightly strange, and she said softly: "If it's just to eliminate the strangeness, I can call the Shenjue Mansion at any time. I did this when I was inspecting various places before."

"But this time..."

She didn't continue talking, but stretched out her hand to hold the little bell, and said again: "Come on, let's follow and see what he is going to do."

Little Bell cheered.

……

The 'Mother and Daughter' ran quickly and caught up with Zhang Jingxu after a while.

Immediately Zhang Jingxu frowned, said: "Didn't I just say that you two go back to the county government first."

Yun Jingshu pretended to be out of breath, and said: "If you go to investigate the old soldier's strangeness, Jingshu can definitely help. Although I am a woman, I have a lot of knowledge. Brother Zhang, don't forget that I told you the old soldier's secrets... ..."

Zhang Jingxu frowned even more, and said bluntly: "But if you really encounter something strange, Zhang is worried that he won't be able to protect you. To be honest, I have only set foot in cultivation, and now I don't have any special skills, and I don't even know what cultivation is. "

Yun Jingshu's eyes lit up, and said: "It just so happens that Jingshu knows a lot of cultivation methods. If Brother Zhang wants to hear, Jingshu promises to know everything."

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved immediately, and hesitantly asked: "Are you going to say next, there must be a prerequisite for knowing everything, for example, you must follow me to investigate the case, right?"

Yun Jingshu smiled brightly, with quite a contented expression between her brows, and said, "Brother Zhang is really a smart man."

He paused for a while, then smiled and said, "Actually, even if you encounter something strange, you don't have to worry about me. Since Jing Shu dares to follow, she naturally has the confidence to follow."

Zhang Jing's heart moved, and she looked at her thoughtfully.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded resolutely and said: "Speaking of which, it seems unreasonable for Zhang to refuse. But I still want to remind you, Zhang lacks the means of cultivation now..."

Yun Jingshu gave an 'hmm', her expression was very serious, and she said solemnly: "My little sister will remember what brother Zhang said."

In fact, in her heart, there was another voice: "It doesn't matter, I will make a move."

Zhang Jingxu glanced at her again, then turned to look at Little Bell, and said softly: "Girl, you don't want to go..."

Who would have thought that little Lingdang was more refined, with a pitiful little face, and said: "Uncle Zhang, please, Lingdang also wants to follow, I dare not go back to the yamen alone."

Zhang Jingxu frowned suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Your mother and I can send you back first."

Little Lingdang felt aggrieved, as if she was about to cry, and said: "But after I go back, I don't know anyone. I will feel even more scared if I stay alone in the yamen."

Zhang Jingxu was startled, and said: "The county lord is your uncle..."

Next to him, Yun Jingshu hurriedly opened his mouth, deliberately pretending to sigh, and said, "We are just distant relatives, very remote distant relatives. In fact, Brother Zhang, you should understand that it is a helpless act to seek refuge with relatives. If people live under the roof, alas!"

She held the little bell in her arms, and said quietly: "This girl has never seen my cousin, and my cousin has never seen this girl. Although he is uncle and niece in seniority, Brother Zhang Do you think he would love her?"

Zhang Jingxu was silent!
After a long while, he was very helpless and said, "Let's go together. Maybe this investigation is not what I thought, and maybe it won't necessarily be dangerous."

He paused slightly while speaking, and then said: "But if there is real danger, you mother and daughter must flee immediately."

Yun Jingshu and Xiaolingdang nodded at the same time, both of the 'mother and daughter' had cunning in their eyes.

……

Now that she agreed to go with her, Zhang Jingxu no longer hesitated.

Now follow a street with a clear purpose and go straight to 'Huiminfang'.

I have only been to this place this morning, and this is the second time I have come here. Zhang Jingxu looked solemn and introduced in a low voice: "This is the poorest place in the city. It is called Huiminfang, but it is actually a dilapidated place. The alleys are quite They are dirty and messy, and the space is cramped and narrow, especially these short houses, many of which have been in disrepair for a long time and are crumbling..."

He sighed as he spoke, as if he had some feeling, and said softly: "Man, I can bear any crime. No matter how hard it is, I still want to live in my bones. But the word "living" is exactly what we came to investigate. reason."

He sighed again as he spoke, and murmured: "Actually, I really don't want to come again, I'm afraid that I will find out something strange. But I'm also very worried, worried that what happened in the morning will happen again."

Seeing that he was depressed, Yun Jingshu couldn't help but asked softly, "Actually, Brother Zhang, you already have a guess in your heart, and you have even confirmed that this matter involves something weird, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so sad all of a sudden."

Zhang Jingxu remained silent, just walked slowly along the alley.

After a good while, he said in a low voice, "That old soldier, that girl, their grandparents and grandchildren are lying in the coffin, very similar to the example you told me..."

"It's just that in that example, he cut open the abdomen of his daughter-in-law and dug out his own grandson alive, but this one uses a heavy coffin to lock his own granddaughter inside."

"I'm not sure if it's a sorcery, and I'm not sure if he's that kind of old pawn, but I'm sure of one thing, the coffin in his family is extremely abnormal."

When Yun Jingshu heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "This sounds like a life-threatening technique."

Little Lingdang spoke suddenly, with a surprised expression on her face, and said, "Niuniu? It can't be such a coincidence, right? When my mother and I came, we met a boatman at the ferry outside the city. That uncle entrusted us with a message, his daughter Also called Niuniu..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhang Jingxu and asked, "Uncle Zhang, how old is that girl you're talking about?"

Zhang Jingxu hesitated slightly, and said a little uncertainly: "About four or five years old, I didn't ask the exact age."

The little bell said 'ah' and said: "The uncle boatman said that his niuniu is four years old this year. This can't be really a coincidence, the two niuniu are one niuniu."

Zhang Jingxu didn't answer the words, and walked through the alley silently.

Suddenly he stopped, his eyes calmly looked forward, his tone seemed to be calm, as if the waves were calm, and he said: "Is it the same girl, I will find out after I ask."

Yun Jingshu and Little Lingdang followed his gaze and saw a courtyard gate with two plaques hanging on it.

Liu's coffin shop, here we come!

In broad daylight, the door is closed.

……

Zhang Jingxu's expression became calmer, and there was nothing abnormal at all.

He slowly raised his foot forward and raised his hand to pat on the courtyard door.

The rattling sound was accompanied by Zhang Jingxu's hearty smile on purpose: "Are you at home? Is anyone at home? Open the door, we have business talks."

Soon, footsteps were heard in the courtyard, and a woman's voice was quite pleasantly surprised, saying: "Here, come, come and open the door."

Only a moment later, the door creaked.

The woman who opened the door was Niu Niu's mother. When she saw Zhang Jingxu, she burst into smiles and said, "Oh, it's Zhang Butou. You left in the morning, why..."

Zhang Jingxu laughed, and said: "Zhang said this morning, I have a junior who died, and I need a coffin, and I agreed to buy it at your house. Why did you forget, sister? We agreed on this matter."

Niu Niu's mother nodded quickly, and said with a smile on her face: "I have never forgotten, how can I forget, Zhang Butou, please come in quickly, there are benches in the yard to sit on..."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, raised her legs and stepped into the gate, quietly glanced at the small courtyard, pretending to be curious and asked: "Why don't you see your father-in-law?"

Niuniu's mother pointed to the main room, and said in a low voice, "After hearing your words this morning, the woman immediately went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, but my father-in-law was very angry and blamed me for spending money on the medicine. No, it's not good to lie in the house." What about the man..."

Zhang Jingxu's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly said: "Where's Niu Niu? Why isn't Niu Niu gone?"

Niuniu's mother let out a 'huh' and said, "Just now I was playing in the yard, but I don't know which house I went to in a blink of an eye, the child is naughty, please forgive me."

Zhang Jingxu waved his hands with a faint smile, and said, "It's all right, I'll just ask casually."

As he said that, his eyes moved slightly again, he looked across the small courtyard to the main room, and asked intentionally: "Big sister, you should understand the work of making coffins, right?"

Although Niu Niu's mother is an ordinary woman, she can understand the meaning of these words, and said quickly: "Look at what you said, women don't understand this. I'll call my father-in-law to come out and let him personally..."

Unexpectedly, she didn't finish her sentence, when she suddenly heard a cough from the hall, and a gloomy voice said: "Don't shout, the old man has already heard a guest come to the door."

Zhang Jingxu looked around and saw the old coffin maker tremblingly holding on to the door.The two sides met each other's eyes across the courtyard.

Suddenly the old coffinmaker sighed, waved to Zhang Jingxu, and said: "I know, you will definitely come, let's go in and talk, my daughter-in-law is an ordinary woman."

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said with a smile: "We really should talk about it, Zhang doesn't know anything about coffins."

There is something in the two people's words, which clearly implies a deep meaning.

……

Niu Niu's mother thought it was about making coffins, so she hurriedly said, "Women, go make some tea, Catcher Zhang, you go and sit inside first."

Zhang Jingxu nodded again, and said: "You don't need to be too busy, just make tea, just get a bowl of boiled water. Zhang is used to boiled water. Besides, tea is very expensive, how can ordinary people afford it."

Niu Niu's mother was quite embarrassed, and said: "You can see that there is indeed no tea in my house."

Zhang Jingxu smiled gently, and said again: "Just boil some water."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, pointed to the small bell, and said, "I, this junior, was entrusted by someone to send a message to the boatman at the ferry outside the city. It is quite a coincidence that the boatman's daughter is also called Niuniu..."

Niu Niu's mother was startled for a moment, then said 'ah' in surprise, and said, "He is my guy, and his daughter is Niu Niu."

Zhang Jingxu laughed, and said, "I'll just say, there's no such coincidence of having the same name."

As he spoke, he glanced at him and said to Little Bell: "Go, follow this aunt to find Niuniu. Entrusted by others, matters of loyalty, and matters entrusted to you by Niuniu's father, you must do it for him."

Little Lingdang was clever, nodded immediately and said: "Don't worry, I understand."

Zhang Jingxu gave an 'hmm', turned to look at Yun Jingshu, and pretended to ask, "You shouldn't need to go to Niuniu, right?"

Yun Jingshu smiled slightly and said, "I also want to hear about the coffin."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, reached into his bosom, and when he took it out, he was already 'playing' with an ancient coin in his hand.

He smiled meaningfully and said: "Then let's go into the house together and ask the old man for advice."

Yun Jingshu's eyes were dim, and she said, "It is necessary to ask for advice, after all, we don't understand."

……

The two walked through the small courtyard where the wood was piled up, and soon arrived at the main house where the old man lived.

As far as the eye can see, there is another coffin in the room.

Zhang Jingxu felt a little cold in his heart, he clearly remembered the appearance of this coffin, which was just smashed by the fairy stone this morning.

The thunder fire from Xianshi blew up the entire coffin into pieces.

But now, it appeared again.
