Chapter 204 Nine Ghosts Stepping on the Lotus Flower

Zhang Qishan ignored him, just walked to the railing of the post station, looked at the deep valley under his eyes, and then looked around in all directions.

In fact, when he arrived here, he had already entered the middle of several mines he had imagined before.

The first few troops sent out, the news sent back also verified his guess.

The train is likely to leave from one of the mines here.

"Brother Xu, do you think it is possible for the mines below to produce lead-mercury associated mines?" Zhang Qishan suddenly pointed to the valley of the cliff under his feet. Obsolete state.

However, people dressed as miners can still be seen coming in and out from time to time.

"Fluorite mine is possible."

Wishing squinted his eyes and looked at the bottom. Although it was far away, but because of the special color of the fluorite, he recognized it at a glance.

"Then do you think it's possible that the train went out from under here?"

Zhang Qishan asked in a low voice thoughtfully, but that sentence was more like talking to himself, and he fell silent after he finished speaking. He probably felt that this idea was a bit too whimsical.

As it was getting dark, a group of people entered the station, and there was already a fire inside. There were countless lanterns hanging above the shop, which looked like a ghost market in Liaozhai.

"Adjutant, blow the whistle."

Zhang Qishan glanced at Zhang Rishan beside him, and said something seemingly casually.

Zhang Rishan immediately took out a bat-shaped whistle from his pocket, walked out of the station and blew it. The sound was very strange and harsh.

Wishing to frown slightly, just as he was thinking, he saw a man in his 40s, dressed as a porter, walking over with his hands in his sleeves.

"Old man, how is the investigation going?"

Seeing that person, Zhang Qishan's eyes lit up, and he asked in a voice that only a few people could hear.

"This is the territory of the Huo family, surrounded by countless masters of the Huo family."

"Buddha, you have to be careful!"

The hoarse voice of the old man.

Especially the last sentence, it seems that there is some kind of strange magic power, which suppresses the cold wind howling in the valley outside the ancient post station, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes dignified.

The eyes of several people met in the air, and a trace of fear could be seen in all kinds of eyes.

Zhang Qishan frowned slightly, and glanced at the old man, "The Huo family?"

"Yes, Huo Jiuxiang in Xiangxi, there have been several big deals here recently. The Huo family's handicap is very oily, and half of Li's people have been trying to find an excuse to clear this handicap. The two families are very stiff, so the two sides They've all been dispatched."

The old man must have been walking in the mountains all the year round, his hands were covered with small cracks, his skin was dark, and his face was also rough and red due to the wind.

The appearance is extremely inconspicuous, and it belongs to the kind that cannot be found in the crowd.

But now as soon as he opened his mouth, Wishing immediately noticed that there was a faint northern accent in his tone.

And it seemed ordinary, but the inadvertent light in his eyes covered by the brim of the hat revealed his identity.

Zhang's spy.

A few years ago, Zhang Qishan came to Xiangxi from the north, followed the Zhang family's old rules, and put countless eyeliners in the whole Hunan province.

These people are like buried nails, hanging around with all kinds of people all year round, inquiring about him.

And evidence of contact with each other.

It was the bat whistle that Zhang Rishan blew before.

Hearing what the old man said, he made a wish and looked at the people sleeping on the bunk, and soon noticed two people.

A miner's dress, a traveler's dress.

They are not very old, and they look like 25-[-] at most.

Although they were no different from others in the crowd, the inadvertent murderous look in their eyes could not deceive anyone.

Ordinary miners run around all day for their livelihood, how could they have such a fierce aura.

Moreover, the eyes of the two of them will peep here from time to time, and their waists are also slightly bulging, probably carrying weapons with them.

There is a high probability that these two people should be from the Huo family.

"What about the matter I asked you to investigate?" Zhang Qishan lowered his voice and asked the old man.

"The matter of the train is not that simple." The old man shook his head, took off his pipe, and knocked it on the sole of his shoe a few times.

"The mountains here are complicated. If there are mines and railways in the forest, it will take at least several years to build secretly."

"Besides, the forest is deep and leafy in this place. It is often covered by shrubs and vines on one side and the other side after repairing. Without a month or two of pre-renovation, it cannot be directly activated."

"I didn't hear any movement? The train is not like other trains. Once it starts, it will cause a lot of noise. Judging from the time when the ghost car arrived in Changsha City, it should leave at night."

Hearing his words, Zhang Rishan couldn't help but speak.

The train passed by in the middle of the night, and there were mostly mines here. Even if it was covered by heavy snow outside, it shouldn't be impossible to notice any movement.

"I asked the night watchmen in various villages about this matter, and they all said that they had never heard the movement of the train, but they heard another very strange sound."

"what?"

Hearing his words, several people's eyes moved, and their eyes all fell on the old man.

"Hundreds of people in the valley struck iron at the same time, but all they heard was echoes. This incident is not a small one. It is rumored in the Miao village that there is a piece of heavenly copper hidden in the mountain, and that there are gods casting swords here."

"wrong."

As soon as Zhang Qishan heard his words, his brows frowned into the word Chuan, and he seemed to grasp something in his heart, he stood up and looked at the valley under his eyes.

"The sound of iron striking is to cover up the movement of the train..." Wishing also frowned, "It may also be that the rails are hidden underground. When the train passes by, the sound of squeezing the rails sounds like iron."

"No mistake. Most of the mines here have been in operation for many years. It is not difficult to hide a railway track on the river bed."

Zhang Qishan's eyes became brighter, and all his guesses and doubts could be explained.

"However, Buddha, there are only a few places where you can hear the movement. Find a gentleman who knows how to find dragons, and maybe you can deduce which section of the railway track is underground based on the terrain."

The old man added another sentence.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Qi Tiezui in unison.

The Qi family's faction, looking for dragons, acupuncture points, mountains and stars, should not be difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, Qi Tiezui glanced outside the valley, counted a few more times, and his face suddenly changed, "Buddha, the mountain ahead is winding and deep, the deep valley is like a lotus leaf, and nine mountains overlap each other."

"The layout is the main killer, with a ghostly aura."

"In terms of feng shui, it's called Jiugui stepping on the lotus. I'm afraid it's not our ghost gate."

Nine ghosts stepping on the lotus!
This name sounds kind of shocking.

The memory that Old Dog Wu told him a few days ago subconsciously surfaced in the wishing mind.

The blood oozing from the soil, the monster buried in the coffin, and the weird ghost car all seemed to indicate that the danger in the valley in front of him might be far beyond his expectations.

"Buddha, you also understand Fengshui. It is said in the Tibetan scriptures that you will be buried as the six evil spirits, shaped like a knife, and the evil will escape.

"There is a deep ravine in the ground, and the evil spirits are engulfed in it, and there is a collapsed peak, like a knife hanging in the air."

"Although members of my Qi family reported the news, they are all dead. It can be considered that my Qi family has contributed to this matter. Right now, I am the only one left in my Qi family. When the time comes, how will you explain to my Qi family ancestors when you go to the underworld?"

Qi Tiezui's face was pale and he was shaking violently.

He was tortured all the way, and he gritted his teeth and insisted on coming, but the fierce appearance of the nine ghosts completely frightened him.

The Qi family's incense is weak, and he is Ziran, unmarried, and has not left a branch and a half for the Qi family, so it would be a big loss to die here.

After he finished speaking, he made a wish and observed intently.

The heavy snow blocked the mountain's white and misty valley, and an inexplicable murderous intent could be vaguely seen, coming towards him, and the blood under the valley was extremely bloody, as if everything had been dyed red.

Seeing this scene, Wishing couldn't help but tremble.

It's no wonder that Qi Tiezui was so terrified, he had been a man of fortune-telling all his life, and he believed in it the most.

Judging by his expression, even if Zhang Qishan asked him to hold a gun to his head, he would not take a step forward.

"Baye, since the Qi family has the principle of saving their lives, in your opinion, why would the master who started the Qi family report the news for us at the cost of his life?"

Looking away from the valley below, Zhang Qishan put his hands behind his back, didn't force anything, just looked at Qi Tiezui and asked.

"This is the depths of the Miao border, where the Miao and Dong gather together. Even if someone talks about Feng Shui, there are certainly not as many rules as in the Central Plains."

"The master of the Qi family appeared here. From my inference, he either lived here in seclusion, or he was invited here."

Qi Tiezui had regained his composure now.

He had thought about this for a long time.

Every generation of the Qi family is good at the art of killing stars, but he went back and checked the genealogy, but he didn't find such a person.

According to his guess, it should be a branch of the Qi family, but it has never returned to the main family.

"Invited?"

Zhang Qishan raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously.

"Buddha, this kind of tomb in the depths of the mine cannot be completed in a short period of time. One can imagine the manpower and material resources used to dig out a train's coffin."

"In the entire city of Changsha, besides our Old Nine Sects, how many forces are there that are capable of doing this?"

What Qi Tiezui said was cryptic.

Several people are tacit understanding.

There have been many wars and chaos these years, and the Japanese army has taken advantage of the chaos to attack on a large scale. Before that, most of the mines here were occupied by the Japanese.

And from the two pieces of keel armor, we can also see some clues, the master of the Qi family did think of some methods.

But in the end, the situation was out of his control, and he was unable to recover from it, and he could not escape death in the end.

With such an inference, some of the previous details can also make sense.

The manufacture of railroad tracks is not like going to the grave. Ordinary people can't make it at all, if the Japanese army is behind the whole thing.

Then it is not too difficult for them to create a branch on the main line of the railway track, rob a train, and drive into the mine to hide.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qishan's heart suddenly jumped.

If it is really Japanese, then there must be people in this important ancient station.

Perhaps their whereabouts have long been watched.

Zhang Qishan looked around silently, and gestured to several people in a subtle way, forming a circle around the stove as the center.

His voice was very low, "Be careful, there are dragons and snakes in this place, maybe there are Japanese."

Wishing frowned, subconsciously glanced at the two people he had been eyeing before.

There are no problems with face shape, breathing, and tone.

It should be the master of the Huo family or half of Li Sang.

As for the others...

The wishing eyes glanced back and forth.

quickly!

Wishing to make a wish suddenly found a figure that was very sneaky, wearing a padded jacket, although it completely covered his body, he was still keenly aware that it was a woman.

woman?

At this time, the world is dangerous, especially in Miaojiang. Horse bandits, bandits, and desperadoes in the green forest, none of the people who come and go have their heads tied to their belts.

How could there be a woman here?

And even pretended to be.

Almost instantly, making a wish concluded that there was definitely something wrong with this woman.

Following her figure out of the corner of her eye, the woman walked cautiously to a section of the bunk, completely unaware that her track had been locked.

There were two other men there.

Although they look the same as the Chinese people, Wishing is still very sharp to find that the postures of a few people are not right when they walk, and they should be wearing clogs.

This is thanks to years of experience in reading films in previous lives.

After telling a few people about his discovery, Zhang Qishan immediately sent a message to the other spies in the shop, asking them to keep an eye on the three of them.

It was also agreed to do it in the middle of the night.

As night fell, the lights of the long dragon that had been like a ghost market before became less and less.

The wishing people seemed to be sleeping deeply, but they were silently counting the time in their hearts. When it was midnight, they jumped up from the bunk.

Apart from him, Zhang Qishan and his adjutant Zhang Rishan were the ones who started the action. The eyes of the three of them met in the darkness, then they lowered their figures, stooped and walked softly towards the bunk where the three of them slept.

The other spies of the Zhang family, as well as the people brought by Wu Laogou, have blocked the only road leading down the mountain.

The one who walked in the front made a wish, staring at the three figures.

They seemed to have fallen asleep, but judging from their breathing, these people were always alert.

Bang!
Seeing that it was approaching, Xu Wish gestured to the two people behind him, and then he jumped up.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he grabbed one of them by the neckline, hugged him, smashed through the guardrail and fell to the edge of the cliff.

Not only him, Zhang Qishan and Zhang Rishan also captured the remaining two in an instant.

Facing the icy cold wind like a knife, the three people's feet were on the cliff. Wishing to grab the man's throat with his right hand, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and his voice was piercingly cold.

"Answer me, where is the hidden track?"

"You only have two seconds to think. If you answer, you live. If you answer wrong or don't answer, you will die!"

The three of them did not expect such a scene to happen.

His face was pale, and he was deep on the edge of the cliff. If he accidentally fell, his body would be smashed to pieces.

Especially for the person whose throat was strangled by the wish, he only felt that the murderous aura oncoming was more piercing than the biting cold wind.

He was struggling crazily, trembling with fear, but unfortunately he couldn't make a sound at all, he could only widen his eyes, and the depths of his eyes were full of horror, anxiety and begging for mercy.

There was a lot of noise when several people broke through the guardrail, which woke up many people, and some people tried to stand up and look up.

But soon someone came out of the darkness with a knife and gun, and put it on their heads.

They immediately understood that what they did was a group of existences they could not afford to offend.

These days guns are more of a threat than anything else.

And so close.

They didn't believe that the opponent's hand would weaken when they shot.

And the people who were caught had nothing to do with them, why bother to kill themselves for the sake of others?
