The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 871 860: The second imperial envoy looks for Niu Changzhang
Seeing that Duan Wuji made up his mind to go up that road for a turn, the old bull head immediately stood up.

"You two imperial envoys, if you want to go now, then I will lead you there!"

The old man bid farewell to his daughter and son-in-law, and led Duan Wuji and the two of them back straight to the tomb passage.

The old bull head led Duan Wuji and Tie Niu to the east corner, the old bull head grinned.

"Although this place is the cemetery of our village, but if you say that whoever has nothing to do goes there, if he goes to that place, then he has nothing to do to die!
Going to this place, I still have a little drum in my heart! "

However, for the sake of my son, there is nothing else I can do today.

"His grandma, such a dead boy, he wouldn't go to such an unlucky place! Going to this place, isn't it courting death!"

The old man had no choice but to lead the two of them forward bravely!

After walking a hundred steps forward, Duan Wuji stopped abruptly.

"Old Niutou, walk forward slowly, there are two footprints here, take out that old shoe and compare it!"

When the old bull heard this, he immediately stopped.

"My lord imperial envoy, where are those footprints? Why didn't I see them?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Then the footprints are under the flower tree! There is this flower tree, the footprints are left! If there is no flower tree, the footprints may have been washed away by the rain. .”

When the old bull heard this, he stopped immediately.

The old bull looked back, and saw that Duan Wuji and the others were squatting under a tree with small yellow flowers.

The old bull squatted down and looked at it for a while, then sat down on the ground.

"My mother, this footprint is indeed my son's footprint. On the sole of his shoe, when his mother took the sole of the shoe, she specially gave him the word "Zhang"."

This character was written by my son and given to him by his mother.

I don't know the font of my son's son! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu finally recognized the word after what the old Niu Fuer said.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "So, that baby son of yours really came from a long way away!

Otherwise, don't you see that the toes of the footprints are facing inward! "

The old bull head saw that it was really so!

After watching for a long time, the old bull head was crying bitterly!

"My poor son! What can't you think about!

Why bother to seek such short-sightedness!If you leave, you'll kill me, Dad!

You kid left young, how do you let us parents live! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"I said, old Niutou, you haven't seen your son's body yet, what are you talking about, howling?"

"I said Mr. Imperial Envoy, do you need to talk about this matter!

In our medical field, there is a saying that there are seven yin and eight yang. If a big man does not eat or drink, it is generally difficult to survive for eight days!

My son has been missing for a month or so. If he doesn't eat or drink for such a long time, do you think he can really survive?
In my opinion, it is impossible for him to survive now.

I have such a bastard son, do you think I can not be sad! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Old Niutou, don't be sad! Whether your son can survive depends on his good fortune.

If he didn't have good fortune, it would be like what you said, and now he has turned into bones, so that is also possible!

If he had a great fortune, he might still be alive now!

We don't object if you cry for him, but it's not too late for you to cry for him as long as you see his body!

If you haven't even seen the corpse, it's a bit disappointing to cry in advance! "

"Master Imperial Envoy, then I will listen to you. I will not cry for now, let's go! Let's go inside and have a look. We saw his body. It's not too late for me to cry again!"

After finishing speaking, the old bull head endured his grief and stood up, staggering towards the side.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed behind, and walked straight to that place.

When I entered the cemetery, I saw that the cemetery was really big!Covering an area of ​​six or seven hundred acres of land, the entire Mudi has towering ancient trees, and the barren grass is as tall as half a person!

The ancient trees covered the sky, and the entire cemetery could hardly see any sunlight at all!

Tie Niu smiled and said: "This place is really gloomy, if you stay in this place for ten days and a half months, you will be scared to death!

Hey, I said Old Niutou, go in and search carefully to see if you can find your son.

There are so many deserted tombs, we brothers are not interested in this, such a place, you will change after a while, if you find anything, you can call us again, let's just sit on this tomb and rest for a while! "

Seeing that the two of them stopped going in, the old bull had no choice but to bite the bullet and search inside alone!

The whole Mudi was gloomy, and the old bull's head was so frightened that his scalp was numb!

This old bull head really has no choice but to search carefully piece by piece with his scalp!

From time to time, foxes and hares come out of the wild grass, ho!But it's not easy to scare this old bull head!

While the old Niutou was looking for it tremblingly, he begged the Bodhisattva to bless him for safety, but nothing should happen to him.

The old bull turned around all over, but he didn't find his son's bones, nor did he find any clues!

The old cow searched twice in a row, but he couldn't find a shadow!

Finally, the old bull came to Duan Wuji and the others.

"My lord, I searched for a long time just now, but I couldn't find my son!

It's really worrying to see people alive and corpses dead! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly when he saw it.

"It's a good thing you can't find it! Old Niutou, your son is in this cemetery. If you can't find her, it means you don't have the chance!

Since you can't find him, why don't you look for him.

You go back and bring us our meals, let's come down and find them again!
You tell the prefect Wang that we brothers and sisters will not go back tonight, and ask him to bring us the dinner and dinner together.

If he gets us less things, I can't spare him when we go back tomorrow!
do you understand! "

The old bull grinned and said to himself: How dare I talk to the magistrate like that!

If I told him like you said, wouldn't it be a prank!

However, I understand the meaning of the imperial envoy. After I go back, I will find a way to tell the magistrate.

If I don't explain it clearly to him, once the imperial envoy gets angry, I will really choke him when I see it!

The old bull nodded repeatedly.

"Master Imperial Envoy, I will definitely tell you this, don't worry, your food and drink will definitely not be short!

I still have two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine at home, I'll get them for you when the time comes! "

After finishing speaking, the old bull head turned and left.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother, your taste is quite strong!

You said that it is not good for us to eat, but you just let them bring us the banquet in this cemetery.

Is this place cooler?Or are you waiting for a few ghost friends to come and have a drink with our brothers!

Although I'm not afraid of that ghost or anything, but, to be honest, I don't really like dealing with them. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Tieniu, what! Could it be that you are scared! If you are really scared, you can leave now.

Brother, it’s fine for me to stay here alone. I’m full of courage, and I’m not afraid of anything! "

Tieniu widened his eyes upon hearing this.

"Brother, look where you have gone! You are not afraid of this place, but I am afraid of him!"

Just three or five female ghosts ran out, I'm not afraid of them, I'm an imperial envoy, I should be the invulnerable one!

Even if there is such a vicious ghost, if he sees my Tie Niu, he will stay away!

Once I get angry with Tieniu, I am a Buddha who blocks and kills Buddhas, and gods block and kill gods!

Even if he is a thousand-year-old evil spirit, I can kill him with one sword. "

"Okay, good job, you and I have killed countless people, and the evil spirit on our bodies should be very heavy. If our brothers can't even suppress this little wild ghost, then our skills are not in vain. what!
Brother Tieniu, let's go, let's find a place with a stone table, and let's set up a banquet and eat in a while!
Where is that Niu Changzhang? After a while, let's look for it slowly after eating and drinking enough!
As long as he hasn't left this cemetery, we will definitely find him! "

"Well, then let's look for it and see where there is that large altar. Let's not only find a place with an altar, but also a place to rest, that would be great!"

The two stood up after talking, and started searching around the cemetery, looking for a place suitable for serving wine and dishes!

After searching and searching, the two finally found a tall new grave in a corner of the cemetery. There was a stone table and bench in front of this tomb, and it looked like the cemetery of the rich family!

The stone tablet on the tomb reads: "The Tomb of My Beloved Daughter Gao Mulian" in large characters.

Although the mound of this tomb is tall, it does appear to be lonely.

Duan Wuji looked at it for a while and said: "It must be an orphan's grave, if it's not the orphan's grave, why is it buried at the edge of this cemetery!

There is also such a rule in our hometown, Haojia, that is, if a daughter who has not been out of the court passes away, she is not allowed to enter the ancestral grave!

Under normal circumstances, it seems to be buried at the edge of this dark place. "

"Well, what you said is really the same thing, our hometown seems to have such a custom!

Brother, why did Miss Gao die at such a young age?
Does this girl look good-looking? "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Who knows if it looks good or not! She is not alive. If she is alive, we can call her out to have a look.

You see, there is no grass growing on the grave yet, so it must not have been long since it was buried!

Well, let's stop talking about these useless things. If others hear this, it should be said how bad our brothers are!
To be honest, both of us brothers are honest gentlemen! "

The two of them had nothing to do and were chatting on the stone bench next to the altar in front of the grave, when the old bull led some servants in.

"Master Imperial Envoy, where are you? We have brought you food."

Tie Niu heard this and quickly shouted: "I said, old Niutou, stop shouting, we are here, aren't we?"

The old bull heard this, and quickly led some servants in with food boxes.

The prefect of the king followed behind too!
After the old Niu Tou went back, he tactfully told the prefect Wang about Duan Wuji's intentions.

Upon hearing this, the magistrate couldn't help sighing!

These two people ate too much, he also knew more or less yesterday, the old bull head reminded him, the magistrate Wang had to order two more banquets!

In addition, another twenty altars of good wine were bought and sent to this cemetery together.

The magistrate wanted to not come here, but he was afraid that the imperial envoy would pick on him!

Therefore, the magistrate Wang was cruel and gritted his teeth, so he had no choice but to follow.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Prefect Wang, there are quite a lot of things brought here!

There are so many things that our brother and I can't finish eating, so let's eat here together later. "

When the prefect Wang heard what Duan Wuji said, he broke out in a cold sweat from fright!

Wang Zhifu smiled and said: "Thank you, my lord. I have other things to do when I go back, so I won't accompany the imperial envoy to eat and drink here. My lords, I think you can eat and drink here by yourself. Let's just eat and drink here." Just go back."

Duan Wuji nodded helplessly.

"Since you don't have the time to eat here, then we two brothers don't force it, just put these food boxes on the altar next to you, and you two can go back!

Mr. Zhifu, just put these food boxes here, and tomorrow morning, you can let those servants come to pick up the empty food boxes! "

The prefect Wang nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Alright then, since the imperial envoy has given such orders, I'll do as you please.

Why aren't you guys just staring blankly, haven't you put away the imperial envoy's food for them!

Let's put it away so we can go back!

This place is too cloudy, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time!

It's too long to be scared to death! "

After Wang Zhifu said this, the servants also accelerated the speed of putting the food boxes.

In a short time, these food boxes were put away, the magistrate Wang and a few guards saluted Duan Wuji and the others, and then hurriedly withdrew like pinch-tailed dogs.

The old bull head moved in and several jars of good wine came in.

"You two imperial envoys, for the sake of me, Xiaomin, you have suffered this crime, I am deeply grateful to you, Xiaomin!

This is my little wish from Xiaomin, you can keep it and drink it!If there is nothing else, Xiaomin, I will take my leave.

Let me tell you, no matter whether you find my son dead or alive, Xiaomin, I am deeply grateful to you!

Two imperial envoys, I will rely on the two of you for this matter. If anything happens, you two will make the decision on my behalf. "

After speaking, the old bull turned around and left.
