I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

Su Hao complied and at the same time told the two people behind him to follow him and not to go wrong.

Chapter 326 A strange man appears

After entering the stone gate, there was a layer of blue-gray stone bricks on the ground, as big as A4 paper, which were already covered with dust.

There are circular flower beds on both sides of the road.

It's just that there are no saplings or flowers in the middle of the flower bed. Instead, there are mini-sized stone lions lying down.

The stone lion is smaller than the ordinary yellow dog, and the flower bed is not neatly arranged, but arranged in a strange shape.

Su Hao was basically a layman on Feng Shui and formations, and so were the others present.

Only the ghost baby Xie Yali, as a boss who became a ghost fairy after several reincarnations, is also a Taoist in a strict sense, and he can inherit the memories of his previous life after reincarnation. This kind of knowledge reserve almost daunted everyone present. .

It's just that its face looked a little solemn at this time, and its eyes the size of mung beans were staring wide all the time.

I looked left and right from time to time, and every time I stepped a few meters away, I stopped and thought for a moment.

The people behind him were not idle either.

Fa Mao and Liu Sen each held a powerful flashlight in their hands and kept looking around.

On both sides of the road paved with blue-gray stone bricks, rows of houses stood quietly. The interiors of the houses were dim, the doors were closed, and there was no trace of life.

Judging from the decoration structure of the house, it has an obvious Ming and Qing style.

The more Fa Mao looked, the more surprised he became. He whispered: "This is the indigenous village in Tai Mo Mountain. Why can't there be any human habitation in the village?"

Liu Sen chatted: "Don't look at what time it is now. It's already midnight. Who doesn't sleep at midnight?"

Fa Mao was unconvinced and argued: "No, you didn't see the big holes in the doors and windows? It means that no one has lived in this house for a long time. Also, have you ever heard the slightest sound of cats, dogs, and roosters? Whenever there are Chinese people living there, No matter how remote the location, raising chickens and dogs has become an instinct.”

Several people were carrying Huang Huo Tu to come up here to ask for help. If there was no one in the village, wouldn't their visit have been in vain?

Su Hao's previous violent breathing had returned to normal. Not only was the village in this village eerily quiet, but the surrounding temperature was extremely low. He had been sweating all over his body just now, but now he felt goosebumps when he was blown by the cold wind.

Su Hao heard the discussion between the two people behind him. He looked at the solemn expression of the ghost baby in front of him, and then at the two people behind him, and suddenly came up with a bold idea.

"Wouldn't it be easy to tell if there are any living people in this village just by shouting?"

Fa Mao and Liu Sen looked at each other, "How to shout?"

In this quiet environment where you can hear a needle drop, the surroundings are pitch black, and no light can be seen, giving everyone a sense of horror and tension. They always feel that something is hidden in the darkness around them and is watching them.

At this moment, the enemy is in darkness and we are in darkness.

What if you shout out and expose yourself?

Moreover, the villagers of this indigenous village leave very little impression on outsiders. Apart from labels such as "exchanging precious ginseng for shoes and cheap western medicine", the rest is isolated from the world and extremely mysterious.

And there are few people.

The conversation between several people was naturally heard by the ghost baby.

Su Hao quietly observed the expression on the ghost baby's face and saw that the other party made no move to stop him. He boldly shouted towards the village: "Hey, is there anyone there?"

It's a pity that he didn't get a good rest at night, and he was a little exhausted from carrying Huang Huotu up the mountain just now, which made his voice hoarse and almost made him mute.

Su Hao immediately felt that his nose was severely blocked and there was a tearing pain in his throat.

"My throat is a little sore and I can't shout. You two should each shout a few times."

Fa Mao and Liu Sen bravely shouted twice, and sure enough, there was a sound from the house not far ahead, as if someone got out of bed, put on shoes and kicked the door panel.

Liu Sen's face showed a hint of joy, "There seems to be someone in front."

But Fa Mao put forward a different opinion, which was even a bit surprising, "What if it's not a human, but a zombie?"

As soon as Fa Mao finished speaking, Liu Sen was also frightened and looked at each other.

The two of them looked at Su Hao in unison, waiting for Su Hao to make up his mind.

Su Hao glanced at the ghost baby who was leading the way and said calmly: "Let's go to the house where the noise came from and have a look. There shouldn't be any danger."

Su Hao's bet was that the ghost baby would not harm Huang Huo Tu.

This group of people has benefited from it.

Even if something dangerous happens, with this ghost fairy by their side, carrying the yellow fire earth on their backs is equivalent to holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.

The ghost baby in front also heard their discussion, and actually adopted this suggestion, turned a slight corner, and walked towards the house that made the noise in front of him.

There were only a dozen or so houses on both sides of the stone road, arranged in two rows, with the house in front and the yard in the back, and each house was widely separated.

Walking from the stone gate to the bottom, it is less than 50 meters long. At the bottom is a two-story stone building, which is also pitch black.

The house that made the sound before was very close to the stone building at the bottom, almost next to it, on the left side of the stone street.

With this small distance, Guiying led the way, and the few people quickly arrived at the door of the house.

The noise in the house came again, this time it was a creak, the door opened, and a human-like creature stood behind the door, hiding in the darkness and making no sound.

The three of them were immediately frightened.

The light of the two flashlights shone on the black shadow for the first time. After seeing the black shadow clearly, a stone fell from everyone's heart.

There was an old woman standing behind the door. Her face should be around 60 years old. She was wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket. Her face was very dull, and she stared at everyone with a pair of dead fish eyes, almost expressionless.

The skin on her face is very rough and dark, like a peasant woman who has been working in the mountains all year round.

Su Hao handed the yellow fire soil to Fa Mao and Liu Sen, and stepped forward to talk, "Grandma, we are villagers at the foot of the mountain. We accidentally lost our way in the mountain. We have companions who have a high fever, so we have no choice but to go into the village to disturb them." ”

"I would like to ask you if there are any special herbs in the mountains. First, I can help my companion reduce his fever. I will thank you afterwards."

Su Hao said it twice in a row.

First he said it in Cantonese, and then he said it again in Mandarin.

After she finished speaking for the second time, the old woman finally had some expression on her face. She said a sentence dullly, with a fast and rapid accent, which was neither Cantonese nor Mandarin.

Su Hao and the other three looked at each other, "Which one of you understands?"

Fa Mao spoke in authentic Hong Kong-style Cantonese and said, "Do you know what he speaks?"

"I don't know."

After speaking, he switched to Hong Kong Mandarin and said, "What was she just saying?"

Liu Sen shook his head, "I don't understand, it must not be Cantonese."

Su Hao thought about it and felt a little familiar. This was a memory from his previous life. He felt that the other person's accent was a bit similar to the dialect of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations in his previous life.

Su Hao pointed at Huang Huotu again and said: "He is sick, please save him."

This time he spoke very slowly.

The old lady seemed to understand, and turned around and entered the house. After a while, a loud and clear sound of the bell came from the house.

Several people outside quickly followed up and stood at the door of the house. The light of the flashlight shone in and found that the living room inside was extremely empty, with almost no furniture, except for a lame wooden table leaning against it. There was only a wooden stool that was about to fall apart next to the wall and the wooden table.

In the center of the house hangs a copper bell the size of a bucket, which is somewhat similar to the miniature ancient bell in the Shaolin Temple in movies and TV series.

Several people immediately understood the old woman's movements. She was calling someone and sending a signal to the outside world.

Soon, a ray of light came on in the innermost two-story building. From the outside, it looked like the light of an oil lamp being lit. Everyone followed the old lady and quietly came to the bottom two-story building.

The floor tiles at the entrance of these two-story buildings are completely different from those on the stone street below. They are almost all paved with table-sized square stones, and there are three small steps.

Moreover, there were no stone lions in the open space, instead there were two iron alchemy furnaces.

Judging from the color, this alchemy furnace should not be abandoned, and there is not much dust gathered on it.

A series of footsteps also sounded in the stone building.

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man holding an oil lamp and wearing a Taoist robe appeared at the door.

The man had a long beard and long hair, with a wooden hairpin (zan) on his head, and a black and white yin and yang fish pattern embroidered on his loose robe. He stood in front of the door, looking at these unexpected visitors with a full expression on his face. examined.

The old lady who rang the bell earlier seemed to have great respect for the middle-aged man. She came forward to talk to her. The two communicated in dialect for a while, and the middle-aged man's face became slightly calmer.

He pointed at Huang Huotu and said, "What disease is he suffering from?"

There was a hint of joy on several people's faces, because they actually understood what the middle-aged man said.

It's good to be able to communicate.

Su Hao stepped forward to talk and repeated what he had said to the old lady before.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man pinched his long beard, suddenly changed his expression, waved his long sleeves in the direction of the ghost baby, and made a rolling gesture. Instantly, a strong wind arose on the spot, and the strong wind moved towards the ghost baby. Yingmao went over and flew the latter seven or eight meters away.

The middle-aged man said proudly: "I am a descendant of Zhang Tianshi, an authentic Taoist sect, and how dare a mere ghost and immortal appear in front of me?"

"get out!"

This magical power shocked everyone present.

Fa Mao and Liu Sen only saw a small tornado rising on the spot and rolling into the air. They thought that the middle-aged man was unwilling to save people and wanted to drive them away.

Only Su Hao, seeing the shriveled ghost baby, was surprised by the man's magical power. On the other hand, he stabilized the ghost baby with his eyes and persuaded him to leave first.

They are here to save people, not to conflict with each other.

Moreover, in the original work of "The Detective", Su Hao knew that this man was not a bad person, but a strange man who was obsessed with becoming an immortal. He was essentially the same type of person as Gui Ying.

It's just that what this strange man pursues is to ascend on the spot, that is, to become a god among the five immortals. He disdains the ghosts and immortals who are the lowest among the five immortals and is full of contempt.

Fortunately, the ghost baby understood the hint sent by Su Hao, suppressed the anger and unhappiness in his heart, glared at the latter and disappeared from Zhangjiacun.

The middle-aged man's eyes fell on a few people again.

He just glanced at everyone, his eyes first drifted over Liu Sen, and he said on the spot, "Are you from the public family? I don't welcome you here, so you should leave as well."

The so-called public servants should refer to the six gates, which are the former policemen.

Police today.

Liu Sen was uneasy and did not dare to refute. He looked at Su Hao and the latter winked at him. Liu Sen immediately retreated to the steps of the stone building.

The middle-aged man glanced at Fa Mao and did not express any opinion on the spot. When his eyes fell on Huang Huo Tu, he was slightly surprised and commented: "This man is depressed and restless. He has wasted half his life. He is a poor person."

Finally it was Su Hao's turn.

The man observed Su Hao and then exclaimed, "Are you a Confucian? It's a pity that you only have five months to live. You should go back early to prepare for the funeral. It's a pity."

Su Hao was shocked again.

Only he knows his longevity.

After he obtained the Book of Life and Death, he immediately checked his Yangshou, and it was indeed only five months. However, he later forcibly added one year to his Yangshou by consuming the credibility of the Judge's Pen, causing the Judge's Pen to lose its magical power. .

In other words, his current longevity should be one year + five months.

Why is it that among the strange people, he only has five months to live?

Although Su Hao was surprised, the priority was to save people at this moment. He was the weaker party who wanted to ask for help from the other party. Even if he had different opinions, he could not get angry on the spot. He bowed and saluted again: "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Please give me some advice." Please save my colleague. As soon as my colleague is out of danger, we will go down the mountain immediately."

The man pinched his beard again and said: "I am indeed proficient in pharmacology, but we are not relatives, why should I save him?"

"Unless you can agree to one of my conditions."

Su Hao asked: "What does the master require?"

He originally thought that the other party would make some demands for daily necessities, but he didn't expect that the man's words almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

The man pointed at the old lady who was leading the way next to him, "You are all from other villages and have no blood relationship with our Zhangjia Village. Why don't you choose one of you to breed with her? You only need to devote yourself to Xiaocui for three nights. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will save people."

The Xiao Cui in the man's mouth refers to the old lady who led the way earlier.

Hearing what the man said, the old lady at the scene seemed to understand. Her originally dull face gained a bit of energy, and her eyes like a dead fish kept glancing back and forth at Su Hao and Fa Mao.

Among them, it stayed with Su Hao the longest.

Fa Mao carried Huang Huo Tu's body and kept winking at Su Hao. His eyes were full of disbelief, horror, and panic.

This old lady is around 60 years old. How do I breed?

I'm afraid I've stopped a long time ago.

Is this science?

Even if the other party is 30 years younger, there is still a thousand reluctances.

He had subconsciously regarded himself as a victim. Obviously, Su Hao would definitely not agree. In the end, he would have a higher chance of winning the bid.

Su Hao's face turned cold, and he quickly organized his thoughts and said, "May I ask this expert, who is this Xiao Cui? What is his relationship to you? How old is he this year?"
