My eyes narrowed and my hand was visibly stunned, but I didn't say much.
"That's it." Yin Shaodong and Ying Cai'er were taken aback, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's okay, you can eat, I'll go back to the room first." Ma Ruier smiled and got up and left here.
"Um." Ying Cai'er pouted, "What strange custom is that women can't be on the table?"
"Yes, it is not possible when there are guests. Normally we can eat together. She believes in religion." Lao Tai explained with a smile, and then greeted him, "Well, you guys don't stop and continue to eat."
"Yep."
I nodded slightly, did not continue to say anything, but there was a solemnness hidden in my eyes.
Supper went on happily and peacefully, but because of Marelle's affairs, the atmosphere was always a bit strange, but no one spoke, trying to avoid this invisible and subtle embarrassment.
After dinner, we went back to our room to rest.
Yin Shaodong and I slept in the same room, and Yindu was on the floor, so even if it was a room, the space was already very large.
Yin Shaodong lay on the ground and whispered softly: "It's really strange, I thought this custom was only available in the old country C."
Hearing Yin Shaodong's words, I said lightly: "Even if it's Yindu, it doesn't necessarily happen."
Yin Shaodong was taken aback: "What does this mean?"
I glanced at Yin Shaodong and said calmly: "Silver is a country that respects women highly, and women are not allowed to be on the table? Do you think it is possible?"
Yin Shaodong's eyes widened: "So you mean, Lao Tai is actually deceiving us."
I nodded faintly: "Accurately speaking, it was their husband and wife cheating on us. Marelle really seems to be unable to serve the table, but the reason is definitely not because of the so-called customs."
Yin Shaodong thought for a while, and then said: "Fuck! It's not domestic violence!"
I gave him a blank look: "What nonsense? You are even less likely."
"Why do you say that?" Yin Shaodong asked back.
I shook my head faintly, and my mind was full of Lao Tai's eyes looking at Ma Ruier. The tender and caring look in his eyes was enough to prove how important Ma Ruier was to Lao Tai. So domestic violence? impossible!
I replied: "In short, it can't be domestic violence. I know Lao Tai, he doesn't even fight female zombies or female ghosts, and even more so against a living woman."
"Um." Yin Shaodong looked dumbfounded.
I asked, "What's wrong?"
"I recognize the female ghost, but the female zombie? Fuck, how do zombies see men and women?" Yin Shaodong looked confused.
"Look at the hair!" I gave him a white look.
"But, didn't the ancient men in Country C also have long hair?"
"Yes! The one with braids is the male zombie, and the long hair without braids is the female zombie."
Yin Shaodong: "... So that's it."
"Stupid!"
Yin Shaodong: "..."
"Stop talking, sleep!"
I turned over and lay directly on the ground, asleep.
Yin Shaodong was shocked: "Fuck! Don't let Hu Tian go to sleep first! Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep if he snorts."
I:"… "
To be honest, although I actually lay down, my mind has always been tonight.
Yes, I think Lao Tai has something to hide from me. One thing that I can't ask if he doesn't speak.
I:"… "
Late at night, I sighed:
"Oh, let's talk about it tomorrow."
The next day arrived soon, and Lao Tai quickly gathered us together, and we quickly gathered in the living room with a serious face.
Lao Tai put a thick pile of materials on the table, and said solemnly: "These are all the things I can investigate. They are all the materials I entrusted to my friends here to find. Some are very useful. , Somewhat useless."
I said lightly: "Then get rid of the useless and just talk about some useful things."
"Okay." Hearing what I said, Old Tai waved his hand and swept away everything on it.
I was taken aback: "What does this mean?"
Old Tai said lightly: "It means that the most useful thing is me. All the legends about Bu Laoquan are in my mind."
I gave him a blank look: "Then what are you doing with these things?"
Old Tai said lightly: "Let's take a form."
I:"… "
"Okay." I said helplessly, "Then you can tell me about the information of Bu Laoquan. We only know its function and its legendary source now, and we don't know the others. If I remember correctly, You seem to have mentioned that place before..." After I finished speaking, I looked up at Lao Tai.
Old Tai's throat moved slightly: "Golden Stone Pagoda."
I:"… "
The faces of Yin Shaodong and Ying Caier showed a trace of doubt: "What is the Golden Stone Pagoda?"
Lao Tai said lightly: "The Golden Stone Pagoda is the most iconic building in Yindu in ancient times. It was originally used for the tombs of the ancient Yindu kings. The reason why such a large Golden Stone Pagoda was built was mainly to preserve their souls. . To enable their souls to live forever. Typically, it is to retain their prestige."
"What happened later?" Yin Shaodong asked.
"What happened later was counterproductive. Because the souls of the elders possessed extremely mysterious auras, many evil creatures and wizards ran in one after another, trying to find the souls of the kings. In order to protect the souls of the kings from being attacked, the kings Our wizards used witchcraft to seal the Golden Stone Pagoda. The evil wizards and creatures who entered will be cursed and become evil things inside, and they will never get out." Lao Tai said here and paused for a while. Continued, "So that's why I said the danger inside is so great."
Yin Shaodong said, "Even if the danger is great, we have to find the Golden Stone Pagoda. The Golden Stone Pagoda should be easy to find, as if it sounds like a big one."
"No." Old Tai waved his hand silently, "If it was a thousand or two thousand years earlier, of course it would be easy to find. But it's different now."
"What's the difference?" Yin Shaodong asked, "Did someone hide it?"
"To be precise, it was the Golden Stone Pagoda who hid itself."
Yin Shaodong: "?"
Old Tai's face sank, and he murmured, "It's sinking."
Yin Shaodong: "..."
Cai'er Ying: "..."
I:"… "
After a while, I murmured: "So the Golden Stone Pagoda was originally underground, and the Bu Lao Spring was under the Golden Stone Pagoda. So we have to go underground to find Bu Lao Spring, right?"
"Yes." Old Tai said lightly, "so it's very difficult."
I pondered: "What about the specific location? Can you be sure?"
"If you want, you can try it." Old Tai said.
"What does it mean to try?" I looked at Old Tai and said.
Old Tai said lightly: "Try it means that if you think you need it, you can try it, but it won't necessarily succeed."
"How do I try?" I asked.
"It's very simple, have you heard of Xunlong Jue?" Lao Tai's eyes suddenly flashed a light.
I was taken aback for a moment: "Fuck! Isn't that the skill of Touching the Jin family? How to drop it? Do you too?"
Old Tai smiled: "Of course I won't, but I know someone will, and as long as you pay, you can buy his skills. Don't underestimate Yindu, Yindu is a place where talents gather."
Hearing what Lao Tai said, I naturally didn't doubt that some people here would find the Dragon Technique, but there was another doubt that I couldn't say no.
"The Dragon Hunting Art is used to find the tombs of our ancient country, and is used to find the gold and stone pagodas. Will it work?"
"There is no problem in principle. As long as they are all things underground, the Dragon Hunting Technique is useful." Old Tai promised.
"That's fine! Old Tai, please help us contact that person!" I stopped thinking about it, and said directly.
"No problem, I will call now." Old Tai said directly.
"En." I nodded.
Seeing Lao Tai leaving the table, Yin Shaodong said, "This Lao Tai is really enthusiastic!"
I smiled slightly and understood in my heart that although this guy always said that he would no longer move those things under the ground, as long as he mentioned those things, his eyes would still shine involuntarily.
Not long after, Lao Tai came back and said: "The matter has been negotiated, and the asking price is reasonable, but there is a requirement."
"any request?"
"He refuses to show up, he is only willing to contact me one-line, that is, he will provide us with clues, but will not let you know who he is." Lao Tai explained.
"Oh, that's it." I nodded slightly.
Yin Shaodong looked dumbfounded: "Why?"
Ying Cai'er glanced at him and said, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of being targeted by the religions here, that is, the sorcerers."
I looked at Lao Tai and asked, "Is that right?"
Old Tai did not speak, and nodded slightly.
"Then if you help us, will you be investigated by the sorcerer?" I asked suddenly, I don't want to cause trouble to Old Tai, after all, he is a person who already has a family.
Old Tai smiled and said: "Me? Hey, don't worry. In Yindu, although religion is powerful, but for a big taxpayer like me, he will still be merciful. As long as I don't get close to Bu Lao Spring, I won There is something."
"That's good." I said softly, and then I said again, "Then I will trouble you."
"Hu Tian, you're out of sight again."
I smiled and continued: "One more thing, we should pay the salary by ourselves. We can't make you spend any more. The car hasn't compensated you yet."
"It's only ten million, what are we arguing about? Come if you want to come!" Old Tai said readily.
I:"… "
"I suddenly felt that you should come." I said sternly.
"Hahaha." Old Tai smiled.
Yin Shaodong and Ying Cai'er raised their heads: "What a shame!"
I helplessly spread my hands: "It's not my fault to be poor, is it?"
"But." Yin Shaodong turned his face and suddenly said, "Didn't we say that you didn't do it first? Why did you do it first?"
I nodded faintly: "It's very simple, because I think Qin Xueyue is about to lose control."
"Oh?" Yin Shaodong's eyes flashed a bright light, and he asked, "How do you know?"
I smiled slightly: "How do I know?"
I looked out the window and said to myself.
When we first arrived yesterday, someone told me that Qin Xueyue had come to Lao Tai's home.
The corner of my mouth rose slightly: "We will take another day off today, Qin Xueyue must have done something."
Yin Shaodong became even more puzzled: "Why are you sure on earth?"
"Because she really can't help it anymore." I said lightly.
