Mystery Leaks

Chapter 266
The survival of Jinpen Township is closely related to his own safety?
This reminded me of Cao Nan's getting a replacement. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but slowly I realized that it was not a coincidence at all, but the result of a joint effort.

That side of Geng Gong is the side of the Cao family's ancestors. The Zongcai asked us to choose a magic weapon each.If it's pure luck, I wouldn't believe it if I was killed.

The Zongjiao must have known the importance of Geng Gong and deliberately returned him to Cao Nan.

After getting the gong, people or existences from all directions told us that the gong must be played at night in Jinpen Township, so as to make Jinpen Township peaceful.

There are Chen Laogen, Three-eyed Lingxiao, Grandma Cao, etc. These are all explicit hints, and some are hints secretly.

In short, they agreed that the safety of Jinpen Township was extremely important.

As a result, even though there are many strange things happening in Jinpen Township up to now, there is only one person who was really killed by ghosts and evil spirits, Feng Deliang, which is simply a miracle.

After thinking about it, I asked, "Third Uncle, haven't they ever suspected you?"

One of the people my grandfather trusts the most is me, and the other is my third uncle. Anyone with a little brain can understand that they want to track down grandpa, how can they let third uncle go?

"What do you say?"

The third uncle smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know the specific reason. No matter whether it is human or ghosts, they dare not harm people easily in Jinpen Township. Although they suspected me, they did not attack me cruelly; There are all kinds of methods for probing, and I have seen through and avoided them, but only your aunt..."

I opened my mouth wide, and immediately reacted.

The silver-eyed mandrill behind the aunt did not lie on it for no reason, but had an obvious purpose.

Try it out!

If the third uncle knocks off the silver-eyed mandrill on the aunt's back, the third uncle will immediately reveal his secrets, because only those who practice legal affairs can see the Yin-Yang mandrill lying on someone's back.

But if the third uncle doesn't beat her, it will be hard for my aunt. She has been ill for three years, suffering from hot and cold, and tortured.

This kind of temptation can be described as extremely cruel. The third uncle would either expose himself or watch his aunt being tortured. Dispel the doubts of the tempter.

What kind of long and cruel torment is this?

The aunt was suffering, and the third uncle was even more uncomfortable, because the aunt was getting weaker and weaker every day, and she might die one day.But... There are advantages and disadvantages. Although the test is cruel, once the third uncle has withstood it, he can immediately clear his doubts.

I never doubted my third uncle because of this.

The third uncle is the closest person to my grandfather other than me. Subconsciously, I have thought of the image of the third uncle countless times, but when I think of the sufferings my aunt has suffered, I immediately exclude him.

That's why we were so shocked when we first saw that the insect control master turned out to be the third uncle.

"It's hard for Auntie." I said.

The third uncle sighed, "Fashixing is a business condemned by God after all, maybe it is the price you have to pay for stepping into it."

After listening to this, I couldn't calm down for a long time.

What is that dusty secret, and what big mistake did grandpa make?So that things have developed to the present situation?
The most important thing is that the current situation has clearly deviated from grandpa's prediction, and is slipping into a direction where the future is unknown.

After all, grandpa is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible for him to predict everything.

He seemed to have underestimated even his own reaction. He had borrowed power from many sources, and at the same time, forces from all parties were constantly pushing him forward, unable to stop.

And this...maybe the fundamental reason why he is still safe and sound. Even the King of Ba and the King of Ghosts, whom he offended, did not go to Jinpen Township to take revenge on him.

"Xiao Lei, you have to remember that your shop is the core of the thunderstorm formation in Jinpen Township. You must guard the shop well. No matter how much others pay or make up excuses, you must not give the shop to others. Remember this!" Third Uncle said to me suddenly and solemnly.

"What?" I was shocked, my shop turned out to be the core of the thunderstorm circle.

"Don't you feel that something is wrong with your shop?" The third uncle smiled slightly.

My mind was filled with lightning, and I nodded slowly. Except for Lu Ningxiang, ghosts and evil spirits have never been in my shop.

The scorched corpse monster stayed outside and did not dare to enter the door, and the impermanent ghosts of the underworld also wandered outside and did not dare to kick the door into the house to arrest my soul. At that time, even Lu Ningxiang avoided them.

If they kicked the door at that time, they would not have any ability to resist at all. I am afraid that there will be another tormented soul in hell.

Before, I always thought it was because of Lu Ningxiang, but looking at it now, it's not, at least not entirely.

And this reminds me of the scene when I bought a shop.

The person selling the shop was a descendant of an educated youth family in the village, who was going to move to the city, so he put up a big-character poster for sale.At that time, there were quite a few people who wanted to buy, and some of them were stronger than me. I put together everything in my pocket, and it was only enough to buy half a store.

But then I don't know what happened, the family was willing to accept credit, let me pay half, and the remaining half is paid annually.

In this way, the shop unexpectedly fell into my name, which made quite a few people who were going to buy the shop feel aggrieved at the time, because they paid the full price, and the price was higher than mine.

I used to think that it should be the good of that family, but looking at it now, it was clearly intentional, and there was a secret force interfering in that transaction.

I couldn't help but wonder if Feng Deliang sent me the piano coffin containing Lu Ningxiang, would it have anything to do with the core of the magic circle?
He wanted to use Lu Ningxiang to activate the thunderstorm circle so that he could survive the catastrophe?
But he failed, so he was killed the next day.

The core of the magic circle must be a forbidden area. Once something inaccessible breaks into it, it will inevitably trigger a backlash.And what is certain is that when Feng Deliang sent the coffin to me, he had already realized that his life was in danger.

The motivation is there, and the execution is also reasonable. This possibility seems to have a certain degree of rationality.

"The core of the thunderstorm circle not only protects your safety, but also covers the market, so there has never been a ghost breaking in." Uncle San said.

I nodded. There is no doubt that after Grandpa disappeared, the situation in Jinpen Township has undergone very profound changes, and it has already begun three years ago.

……

Afterwards, I chatted with my third uncle a few more times, but it didn't involve very specific details. It's good that he knows some things, and he will tell himself if necessary.

Then, our topic shifted to the coffin above.

The third uncle just followed his grandfather's advice and robbed this thing. He didn't know what was inside or how to open the coffin.

So I had to ask: "Then third uncle, where do you plan to transport the coffin?"

The third uncle said: "My first plan was to let the horned worm swallow it into the stomach, but the horned worm was seriously injured, so I can only implement the second plan, which is the current result. As for the storage location, I have no choice." I didn't think about it, this thing is very heavy, and it will easily attract attention when it is transported ashore."

"Then you want to sink it into the water to avoid the limelight first?" I asked.

"The current conditions can only be like this for the time being. When the time is right, hide it in a safer place." Uncle San nodded.

"Hey, my house has a water tank that used to wade through logs. Although it has been dilapidated, the flood embankment inside is still intact and suitable for sinking coffins." At this time, Cao Nan said suddenly.

My heart lit up, I have seen the water tank that Cao Nan mentioned.

A few years ago, the mountain roads in Jinpen Township for transporting wood were paved with concrete, full of potholes, and it was very inconvenient for car transportation.

So the Cao family built a water warehouse, and usually stored the wood that needed to be transported in the water warehouse, and when the river rose, they put the wood in the water warehouse into the river.Upstream release, downstream connection, using water flow to complete the transportation.

But after the road was repaired over the years, the water tanks gradually lost their function and were abandoned. After all, water is a thing of ups and downs. If you throw ten logs upstream, it would be good if you can pick up seven or eight logs downstream. The loss is too great.

The most important function of the water tank is to prevent floods, and flood dikes need to be built to block the erosion of the flood; if the coffin can be placed in the water tank, it will not be afraid of being washed away by the flood.

"Third Uncle, how do you feel?" I asked.

The third uncle nodded, "Okay, that's it."

So the third uncle turned off the engine, and went down the river silently, and entered the water tank of Cao Nan's house before the sky turned white.

Although the inside is dilapidated, the solid flood embankment is not so easy to collapse. We rowed the boat manually, put the coffin into the water tank, and then loosened the wire rope.

The third uncle said: "Okay, the coffin is here, the boat is attracting attention, I have to drive away, you go back quickly, remember to keep it secret, you can't reveal a word, you have never seen the coffin, and you have never seen me. "

We naturally nodded, finally got the coffin, who is full enough to leak the secret?
Afterwards, the third uncle rowed the fishing boat away, and we circled around a few times after leaving the water tank before returning to the village.

We were still a little worried at first, fearing that if we didn't call last night, there would be some troubles, but after asking around, we were completely relieved when we found out that last night was quiet and nothing happened.

After going back to each house, I was really tired, so I fell asleep and left the business to Meng Shuisheng. Before going to bed, I asked my third uncle what he was doing. When he came, his father had just woken up.

I nodded, it seems that my third uncle has also gone back.

……

I fell asleep straight into the afternoon.

In a daze, I was woken up by Meng Shuisheng, who said, "Brother Leizi, the police from the police station are looking for you!"

"Wang Jian'an?" My heart skipped a beat, Wang Jian'an's visit at this time must be for the coffin.

The Southern Law Association has the support of the Zongjiao; the Zongjiao definitely does not want the coffin to fall into the hands of the ghosts.After seven or eight hours, it was obvious that the hornworm's investigation had yielded results.

I immediately got dressed and went downstairs. Wang Jianan was walking up and down the store, looking very anxious; this made me wonder, could it be that he knew there was something important in the coffin?

Wang Jianan saw me and asked quickly, "When did you come back?"

"When we went down the mountain, we were buried in the snow. It was terrible, and we were thrown too far, so we came back." I lied, this is what my third uncle told me, and I must not disclose it.

"It's that simple?" Wang Jianan asked suspiciously.

"Otherwise?" I spread my hands, I can lie now without blushing and without heartbeat.There is no way, the necessary skills to walk in the rivers and lakes, everything is written on the face, that is not honesty, but childishness.

Wang Jianan scanned my face back and forth, trying to find any flaws, but he obviously failed, so I asked, "Did you get that white coffin?"

"No, we were tricked. The coffin is not in the hornworm's mouth or stomach." Wang Jianan shook his head and said, "We suspect that the coffin should have been moved halfway, and it was by water."

My whole body tensed up, and thousands of alpacas rushed past in my heart. They caught the direction of investigation so quickly; no need to think about it, they must have already taken action.

It is necessary to search all the boats along the river, I hope the third uncle can deal with it cleanly, otherwise the boat is full of our smell, a hunting dog is enough to expose us.

None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps!
