The woolen trousers line was floating on the dark water. Of course, Ning San understood that Old Qin meant something, but he didn't know what the identity of this person was, whether he was kind or malicious to himself.
Ning San looked at Old Qin’s face and couldn’t see anything, because this was really the face of a homeless man. His hair had not been taken care of for a long time. The lower half of his face was full of messy beards, and his face was covered with black muddy dirt. , The homeless people outside are more decent than the old Qin in front of him.
"Who are you?" Ning San asked.
Lao Qin stared at the calm water, his tone unchanged, "Didn't I tell you, I am Lao Qin."
Ning San was silent for a while, and a feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart. Where did this sense of powerlessness come from? It comes from not being able to control your own life, from being unable to protect the friends around you, from almost every step you take, falling under the calculations of this or that person, whenever you fall into a confusing event, those who know the event People who have the truth don't really take themselves to heart, so they don't bother to go, or disdain to explain themselves.
Ning San rejected the thoughts that flowed in his mind and focused his attention on the present. This old Qin seemed very simple and not simple. Ning San said, "Are you from Ning's history?" He was guessing. Ning Chuan's ability, and almost all the way, the chess pieces buried by Ning Hanqing are everywhere, from Meng Qisheng, to Zhang Tongmeng, to Xiang Shui, now it is not surprising that there is an extra old Qin. Moreover, almost between the sparks and the fire, Ning San had another guess in his mind.
I still remember that on the night when Ning Chuan and Bai Ye and Chongyang came down from the abandoned Yizhuang on Huashan Mountain in Guangxi, they actually met Qin Wanling, the owner of the abandoned Yizhuang. In the beginning, Ning San only regarded this encounter as a coincidence. Now based on the characteristics of Ning Hanqing's ubiquitous arrangement of chess pieces and back players, Qin Wanling can be regarded as the "respondent" arranged by Ning Hanqing in Huashan.
This is not the most important thing. What is important is that Qin Wanling and Lao Qin are both surnamed Qin.
According to Qin Wanling's self-report at the time, their family came from Xiangxi and was famous in various novels, but in reality, the corpse chaser in Xiangxi has long since declined. The surnamed Qin cadaver was one of the civil forces that Ning had acquired in the past, and Qin Wanling's parents have been looking for a "corpse" in Guangxi. That "corpse" is Chongyang. In the end, both husband and wife died in the process of searching for the "corpse." As for the corpse-driving man named Qin, he disappeared completely after Ning Hanqing's death.
Almost after a few thoughts, Ning San connected these distant events and quickly figured out the identity of the person in front of him. At this time, he also had a little confidence in dialogue with the person in front of him. It may be on the side of Ning's history. Secondly, he has mastered the confidence of the other party, so he is not so embarrassed.
As for the corpse chaser... Ning San didn't believe it very much.
"Do you know Qin Wanling?" Ning San asked.
Old Qin's fishing rod trembled, and he didn't answer the question. Instead, he smiled, as if he hadn't heard it. Ning San didn't know whether this person was pretending to be crazy or really crazy, but he really didn't want to go around like this, he planned to get straight to the point. Judging from the reaction of Old Qin just now, the three words Qin Wanling still had an impact on him. "Old Qin, you are the corpse chaser, what does it have to do with Ning Hanqing, what are you doing here, and how can I get out."
"Wait."
"Wait."
"Hush..." Lao Qin suddenly made a silent gesture to Ning San nervously, "You ran away my fish."
Ning San had to calm down. After Lao Qin stared at the water for a long while, he finally shook his head disappointedly, "I haven't come yet."
Ning San knew that when Lao Qin said waiting, it meant waiting for the fish to get the bait, but according to his fishing method, he would not be able to catch Jiang Taigong’s reincarnation today. In this water, let alone fish, it’s aquatic plants. I don’t even know. Do you have.
Lao Qin fished quietly for a while, seeming to think that fishing was not interesting. He threw the bamboo pole aside, sat on the pony tie, turned his head and looked at Ning San.
Ning San looked at the dirt-filled face, and was a little frustrated. Old Qin suddenly said, "That Qin Wanling is still alive?"
"It's estimated to be over ninety, and it's still in Huashan, Guangxi." Ning San said.
Old Qin chuckled again, his two pitch-black eyeballs trembled in his eye sockets, "Do you know why I am here?"
"Appreciate further details."
"You just asked Ning Hanqing, yes, I do know Ning Hanqing and have some contact with him, but I am here, but he didn't arrange it..."
Ning San felt that there was another twisted story in Ning San's intuition. Old Qin was not as crazy as it seemed, because he just... actually saw a "sorrowful" emotion in his eyes.
"Sorrow" is a very heavy word. Sadness can be eliminated. Sadness is brewed from the dregs of time. It is an emotion carved in a person's soul.
Ning San didn't know why he thought of such slightly hypocritical words. Perhaps when he was in college, he wrote more or less painful literature.
The emotion in Lao Qin’s eyes only flashed away, and soon he recovered the same state as when he was fishing, picked up the bamboo pole to continue fishing, and continued: "I am indeed a corpse chaser, you know how much do you know about chasing a corpse. Human matter?"
"Most of them are learned from novels or film and television works, literally, to drive away corpses and charge freight."
"Do you believe it?"
Ning San shook his head calmly.
Old Qin said: "The corpse chaser has always existed, but the way we chase the corpse is special. To be honest, it is not us who can control the corpse, but a kind of snake."
"snake?"
"Yes, this is a secret that has been passed down from generations to generations by our corpse chaser, but..." He smiled again, "Since now, there is no longer a corpse chaser in this world, and there will be no chaser in the future. Corpse man, it's okay to tell you this secret."
Ning Sanyi was stunned. The plot seemed to start to deviate from the direction of teaching the Fa to an expert. Do you want to retreat here for two or three years, and then mix for a few years after going out, and then write a book "The Last One" based on your own experience. The corpse chaser.
Fuck.
Old Qin continued: "A long time ago, about the Han Dynasty, or even further forward, our ancestors, in order to avoid the war in the Central Plains, followed the patriarch of the same clan and moved all the way south. At that time, the southern barren land, Not yet civilized, the Qin ancestors finally moved around and came to the current boundary of Xiangxi. At that time, the mountains and wilds of Xiangxi made up for it, snakes and insects were rampant, even ethnic minorities were unwilling to live here, so the ancestors of the Qin family found a way out there. The place where they first lived in Xiangxi has long been unknown, and how long has passed since. The specific dynasty in the history of the Central Plains is no longer available. The ancestors of the Qin family were in the waters of Xiangxi. , I found a snake.
This kind of snake is black and slender. It is a very abnormal slender. The thinnest snake is thinner than chopsticks. The specific process of discovering this kind of snake is probably another unbearable story. It is recorded in history books. It may also be, "The year of XX, XX, Xiangxi, was severely droughty, the land was chapped, the year-old starvation, and countless people died. People eat each other.” When Qin’s ancestors fed their hunger with dead bodies, they often found the kind of dead black snakes in the cauldrons that boiled the broth, and they appeared many times, but when sorting out raw meat, they chose all of them. The meat is clean and intact, and there are no signs of biting on the raw meat. So where is this snake hiding? Later, the one who solved the problem was a very hungry man. He not only ate meat and soup, but also took out the thigh bones in the greasy cauldron to drink the soup. Eventually a black snake that had been burned to death slipped into his. The mouth turns into minced meat.
Only then did the ancestors of the Qin family know that this black snake was hiding in private bones. Later they began to pay attention to this matter, because most of the dead corpses that fell on the roadside were starved to death. There were no wounds on their bodies and most of their bones were intact. This is how this black snake got into the bones of the corpse. What? "(End of this chapter)
