Ring, ring, ring…
I turned off the ringtone and looked at the time. It was already noon. I rubbed my shoulders and my stomach started to growl. We have been hiding in Bai Leizhang's house for fifteen days. During these fifteen days, the TV was full of information about our arrest. The crime we were charged with seemed to be stealing national treasures. They also listed a lot of national treasures that we had stolen. It seemed that they also asked China for our information or something. Anyway, the situation was quite tense. ..
We didn't dare go out at all, and only Bai Lei Zhang went out occasionally to buy some food. I was a little worried because he was not arrested by the police station, but was directly wanted by the government of the island country. But then I thought it was reasonable. After all, I burned down most of the Yasukuni Shrine. If a few islanders ran to China and burned down most of the Forbidden City, I guess China would have dug deep into the ground to look for them.
As soon as I woke up, Li Shigao opened the door and walked in, holding the Seven Star Scroll in his hand. Li Shigao and I have been studying this Seven Star Scroll for several days. This scroll is made of sheepskin and is quite old. I estimate that even if I sell it as an antique, it can fetch a lot of money. The text on it is also written in Lishu, which records that one must find seven ancient lamps, arrange them into the shape of the Big Dipper, and then light the main lamp on the full moon night to borrow longevity from the sky.
Although the original words above are not like this, the general meaning is like this. I couldn't help but sigh. It's really not that simple. I originally thought that finding this broken ancient scroll would extend my life, but I didn't expect that I would have to find seven lamps. Later, the next day, I remembered that I had read the master's notes before. It was recorded that the master was going to use the seven-star lamp to borrow life. Regardless of the result and process, the master must have collected the seven lamps. Unfortunately, when I picked up the phone and called the master's number, it showed that it was not in service. At that time, I could only sigh and wait for a chance to ask the master again. .
I looked at Li Shigao who walked in next to me and asked, "Old Li, don't you get tired of holding this broken ancient scroll all day? It's useless anyway."
Li Shigao smiled and said, "What do you know, little brat? Go play in the mud by yourself." Then he sat next to me and looked at the ancient scroll with an eager face. I don't know why Li Shigao seemed to be very interested in this ancient scroll since a few days ago, but when I asked him why, he wouldn't tell me.
"Lao Li, Xiao Jiu! Come down quickly and watch TV!"
Suddenly, I heard the roar of Brother Qingfeng downstairs. Brother Qingfeng was bored, so he watched TV every day because he knew Japanese. I was envious of him, so I said, "Get lost, just watch your own TV, we can't understand it!"
Brother Qingfeng then shouted: "No, there is something wrong!"
As soon as I heard it, Li Shigao and I stood up and ran downstairs. When we got downstairs, Ruan Xingchen, Li Shigao and Bai Leizhang were all in front of the TV. Li Shigao and I walked closer and I looked at the TV. It was a man speaking, but it didn't seem like he was speaking Japanese. The man also seemed to be unfamiliar with reading.
"This is a sudden commercial broadcast by Sakura TV." Brother Qingfeng said with a gloomy face: "He didn't speak Japanese, but the universal ghost language. He said this news specifically for us Taoist priests and Yin-Yang masters."
"What did he say?" I looked at Brother Qingfeng and asked. I was not very good at speaking ghost language, so Brother Qingfeng translated it for me: "Dear Chinese friends, hello, we are very angry about what you did half a month ago, and we have the little fox in our hands. If you don't want it to die, you must find a way to rescue it in Rikono on the 26th, which is tomorrow night, otherwise the little fox will die!"
After saying this, the news disappeared and turned into an ordinary variety show. Brother Qingfeng said: "It seems that this advertisement has been broadcast for half a month. I just saw it."
Li Shigao frowned and said, "We can't go. This is obviously a trap, and maybe Su Daji is not in their hands at all."
I was also confused. Su Daji was captured to save me. If I didn't save her now, would I call for help? As for the false news as Li Shigao said, it was impossible, because if Su Daji escaped, she would definitely come to find us, but after so much time, there was not even a trace of fox hair.
"what to do?"
The five of us, no, it should be said that Li Shigao and I sat in this room with heavy hearts thinking. Among the five of us, only Li Shigao and I had feelings for Su Daji, and Li Shigao should also be very conflicted, because he certainly didn't want to die because of Su Daji.
But I am different. I don’t know what I am thinking. Anyway, I feel that if I really don’t go, how can I be called a human being? At that time, Su Daji really stayed to save me.”
I looked at Li Shigao and asked, "Old Li, how about we go and save her?"
Li Shigao sighed and said, "Xiaojiu, you are already a grown-up, not a child anymore, and you are not at the age where you can act on impulse. You also know that if we go, it will be very dangerous. If we go, it will just be a few more people to accompany Su Daji to her grave. Do you really think that we can save Su Daji alone?"
Ruan Xingchen raised his hand and said, "First of all, this has nothing to do with me. I am just taking refuge temporarily."
"Get out of here, you have no conscience. With your character, I paid for the instant noodles these days, and now you're a coward when things get bad?" Li Shigao rolled his eyes at Ruan Xingchen. During this period of contact, we found that Ruan Xingchen was actually a very easy person to get along with. At least he was very different from the kind of demon in the cult who killed people without blinking an eye in my impression.
"Isn't this different? If you ask me to fight a dozen shirtless people, um, a dozen elementary school students, I will charge forward without blinking an eye. It's obvious that I'm going to die, but I'm not stupid."
"Get lost, do I need you to beat up primary school students? I used to punch the Nanhai Nursing Home and kick the Beihai Kindergarten..."
I looked at the people in front of me who were making a fuss, and I frowned and said, "Okay, if you don't want to go, I'll go by myself."
Li Shigao saw that I had made up my mind, so he patted my shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to help collect your body."
I knew Li Shigao would definitely go with me, so I nodded. Seeing that Brother Qingfeng seemed to want to speak, I said, "Brother Qingfeng, don't go. Just stay and help us look after things. We can't take the Seven Star Scroll with us."
