Kong Wenbin's pair of presbyopic eyes, which were quickly closing together, stared directly at Sun Xiaoli.
He looked Sun Xiaoli up and down, grinned and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
When I saw this scene, I was so angry that my face turned cold.
Seeing my cold face, Liu Deshui came over immediately, stopped Kong Wenbin, and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Old Kong, I haven't introduced you yet. These three are my friends. They came here to get information. I hope you can help me."
"This is Yang Tianyi, also a ghost-catching Taoist priest. The other two are his friends."
"This little girl is Brother Yang's girlfriend."
Liu Deshui even deliberately emphasized the tone.
When Kong Wenbin heard that Sun Xiaoli was my girlfriend, he moved his dirty eyes away and looked at me.
He said with a smile: "Little brother is so lucky to have found such a beautiful and charming girlfriend. You are really blessed."
Damn it, this old guy spoke like that in front of me. I really wanted to give him two slaps in the face.
Perhaps he realized that he had talked too much. After two dry coughs, Kong Wenbin quickly stepped aside and said, "Come on, please come in. If you have anything to say, let's go to the second floor to talk."
"snort!"
Sun Yaowen also realized that Kong Wenbin was no joke, so he snorted coldly and followed me.
Sun Xiaoli put one hand around my arm and hid beside me, far away from Kong Wenbin.
Kong Wenbin was also tactful. Seeing that the three of us ignored him, he started chatting and laughing with Liu Deshui and walked towards the store.
There were many small workers in Qiande Funeral Supplies Store. Kong Wenbin gave a few instructions and took us to the second floor.
Looking at those paper people and paper horses, and a few black and red coffins, I really felt a little scared.
Liu Deshui was communicating with Kong Wenbin and asked him how much he earned in a month.
Kong Wenbin stretched out four fingers in a boastful manner. Liu Deshui thought it was 40,000 yuan, but unexpectedly, Kong Wenbin shook his head and said, "It's not 40,000 yuan, it's 400,000 yuan!"
Liu Deshui's eyes widened and he insisted that Kong Wenbin treat them all. However, he didn't expect that Kong Wenbin was a miser. After a few perfunctory remarks, he avoided the issue of meal.
Soon, we went up to the second floor of the funeral home.
There is a small living room on the second floor. Although it is small, the decoration is very simple. There is a stove of incense in the corner.
The aroma rises up and permeates the air, carrying a faint fragrance that is very refreshing.
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
Kong Wenbin led us to our seats, said something casually, and then sat down without paying any attention to us.
Liu Deshui seemed a little dissatisfied, but he just curled his lips and said nothing.
I thought that since Lou Xiaoman knew Kong Wenbin, it would be best to mention it to him. Maybe he would be able to help wholeheartedly.
I kept it a secret at first, and said, "Master Kong, I've actually known you for a long time."
Kong Wenbin was a little surprised and curious.
He smiled and said, "Oh, you said you knew me, but how come I don't have any impression of you, Brother Yang? Are you deliberately deceiving an old man like me?"
Having said this, Kong Wenbin's eyes turned sharper.
I continued, "Cheating the senior? Of course I wouldn't dare. I'm telling the truth. Although the senior and I have never met, I have heard about your stories before."
Master Kong glanced at me and grinned, "Really? Then I'd like to listen to it."
I didn't care and continued, "Master Kong, do you know Lou Xiaoman?"
Who knows, when I say
When he heard the three words "Lou Xiaoman", Kong Wenbin immediately stood up from his seat.
Anxiety appeared on his face, and he asked me hurriedly: "Do you know Lou Xiaoman? Where is she?"
I was surprised that Kong Wenbin had such a big reaction.
I smiled and asked back, "Why, Master Kong, don't you know where Master Lou is?"
When Kong Wenbin saw that I didn’t speak directly, he walked over to me.
He stared at me with his eyes wide open and said, "Brother Yang, I don't know where Lou Xiaoman is. Tell me quickly so I can go find her."
Previously, Lou Xiaoman only asked me to go to Xichuan City to find Kong Wenbin, and didn't say anything else. But now it seems that there might really be some relationship between Kong Wenbin and Lou Xiaoman.
Zhao Xilan did say that Kong Wenbin had pursued Lou Xiaoman, but Lou Xiaoman did not agree.
Judging from Kong Wenbin's appearance, he might still be obsessed with Lou Xiaoman.
You see, this old guy not only reads the palms of young girls and young women, but also does not let middle-aged women go.
I put away the smile on my face and asked, "Master Kong, I would like to tell you where Master Lou is. But you have to tell me why you are looking for her, right? You know, Master Lou is my good friend."
Kong Wenbin was anxious and said angrily: "Boy, tell me quickly, or you can't leave here."
When I heard this, I became unwilling and my face drooped.
Seeing Kong Wenbin like this, Liu Deshui hurried over.
He pulled Kong Wenbin's arm and said, "Old Kong, why are you so anxious? I know you like Lou Xiaoman, but you should be careful with your words. Look at you, you scared Brother Yang."
After hearing what Liu Deshui said, Kong Wenbin realized that he had gone too far.
The anger on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a full smile. He said, "Brother Yang, don't be offended. I just want to see Lou Xiaoman so much. You may not know that I really like Lou Xiaoman. If I hadn't... Oh! I won't say more. If I say too much, it's all stories."
like
It really feels weird to hear these two words coming out of this old pervert's mouth.
However, judging from Kong Wenbin's tone, he seemed to be hiding something.
I thought about it and concluded that since Kong Wenbin would not harm Lou Xiaoman and Zhao Xilan, I would tell him that Lou Xiaoman would be fine in Jiangbin City.
I was silent for a while, sighed, and said, "Well, in that case, I'll tell you."
“Okay, okay!”
Kong Wenbin nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of excitement.
I smiled and said, "Master Lou, he is in Jiangbin City now."
When Kong Wenbin heard this, a happy expression appeared on his face, as if he had bought a lottery ticket and won five million.
"Good, good, good... In Jiangbin City, it turns out she is in Jiangbin City! I have been looking for her for so long, and finally got news about her. This is great, great!..."
Kong Wenbin's eyes turned red and a few tears came out.
This really stunned me.
After thinking about it, I thought to myself, this Kong Wenbin doesn’t seem to have an easy life either.
After a light cough, I said to Kong Wenbin, "Master Kong, I actually still have the phone number of Master Lou Xiaoman. If you want, I can give it to you."
Master Kong didn't even wait for me to finish, and said impatiently: "Yes, yes, yes, I want it! Give me the phone number."
This is too hasty.
I took out my cell phone, found the phone number, and read it to Kong Wenbin.
Kong Wenbin muttered the phone number and memorized it firmly in his mind.
After a moment, he sat back in his seat with a look of joy on his face.
He said with gratitude: "Brother Yang, you have helped me a lot this time. I, Kong Wenbin, will miss you.
"Yes. Before, you didn't say yes, you wanted to get information. If you want to get information, then just say it."
"Although my funeral parlor is small, I am well-informed about the ghost hunting business. If I can help you, I will do my best."
I smiled and nodded, then told him about my search for Jiang Jiuzhen.
After listening to this, Kong Wenbin smiled slightly and said, "Don't mention it, you really found the right place. I do know the news about Jiang Jiuzhen. Because he came here a few years ago."
Sun Yaowen, who was sitting on the side, heard this and asked hurriedly: "Then do you know where he is?"
That’s what I wanted to ask too.
Kong Wenbin glanced at Sun Yaowen, then looked at me and said, "I don't know where Jiang Jiuzhen is. But I remember that he came to my funeral shop with Hong Qingzong a few years ago. I heard them say that they were going to enter a tomb in Xichuan City. At that time, they bought a lot of tools from me."
"As for the purpose of entering the tomb, I don't know. They didn't tell me."
"But Jiang Jiuzhen, the person you are looking for, is very skilled in Taoism. He shocked me greatly at the time. I can say that he is the most skilled ghost-catching Taoist priest I have ever seen in all these years."
At this time, Liu Deshui said in surprise: "So, Jiang Jiuzhen is very likely to have entered the tomb with Hong Qingzong. I don't know about Jiang Jiuzhen, but I remember seeing Hong Qingzong half a year ago."
What? Hong Qingzong showed up half a year ago! Doesn't that mean he knows where Jiang Jiuzhen is
But I don't think it's that simple.
According to Kong Wenbin and Liu Deshui, Jiang Jiuzhen and Liu Deshui should have entered the tomb together. But now Hong Qingzong appeared, but Jiang Jiuzhen was nowhere to be seen. Does that mean that Jiang Jiuzhen was in trouble
This possibility is very high.
Kong Wenbin continued, "Yes, that's right. Half a year ago, I also met Hong Qingzong, and asked him indirectly about entering the tomb, but he kept silent. I think there must be something fishy going on."
After hearing this, Sun Xiaoli looked uneasy and asked me hurriedly, "Brother Tianyi, could something really have happened to my grandfather?"
I frowned slightly and comforted Sun Xiaoli: "It's okay, your grandfather is so powerful, nothing will happen to him."
Sun Xiaoli nodded, but her eyes were a little red. It seemed that she was still worried about Jiang Jiuzhen.
That's right, Hong Qingzong showed up half a year ago. Logically, if Jiang Jiuzhen was fine, he should have returned to Jiangbin City. But Jiang Jiuzhen never showed up, which made people think the worst.
I turned my gaze towards Kong Wenbin and asked, "Master Kong, do you know where Hong Qingzong is now?"
Kong Wenbin said seriously, "I know this. That Hong Qingzong is in Xichuan City. He opened a pawn shop, collecting old items and also doing ghost catching business."
Liu Deshui looked at me and said, "Young brother Yang, if you are looking for that Hong Qingzong, I can take you there. I know where Hong Qingzong's pawnshop is."
I quickly stood up and thanked Liu Deshui, "Well, Master Liu, thank you again. Please take us to find Hong Qingzong as soon as possible. I want to know about my master Jiang Jiuzhen."
"Okay! Let's get going now."
Liu Deshui also stood up.
Seeing our anxious faces, Kong Wenbin did not try to persuade us to stay and said, "How about this, I'll let my apprentice drive you there."
Liu Deshui waved his hand and said, "No need, Lao Kong, you should contact your old lover as soon as possible. I will help Brother Yang with Master Jiang Jiuzhen's affairs."
After that, without stopping, we went downstairs.
