4 is not easy
The file library of Zhenshui County Government has not been managed all year round. All kinds of files are piled up in a messy manner, and some are simply scattered on the ground. Gao Sheng simply led people to spread all the files on the floor of the lobby and slowly rummaged through them.
Seeing that the sun was turning to the west, several government officials could no longer sit still: "Sir, it's getting dark, should we take a rest first and look for it again at dawn tomorrow?"
In fact, Gao Sheng felt a little nervous, but Xie Bangui and Mei Xin'er had no intention of leaving at all. He was too embarrassed to speak first, so he could only wave his hand impatiently: "Let's go, let's come early tomorrow."
.”
"Thank you, Sir." Several government officials ran away in the blink of an eye. Gao Sheng looked at Xie Bangui, who was rummaging through the files, and then helplessly got into the pile of files.
It wasn't until the sky turned dark that half the ghost stretched his body and asked, "Did you gain anything?"
Mei Xin'er held up a yellowed old book as if offering a treasure and shouted: "Look what I found?" "Zhenshui County Chronicle", it says that Zhenshui County was originally called Nujiao County, according to the Nujiao River outside
It was not until the 23rd year of Taisho, that is, 25 years ago, that the Nujiao River was renamed Zhenshui, and the county name was changed to the current Nujiao County."
Mei Xin'er shook her head and said: "This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the town water is 990 miles long. The county government was originally located in the upper reaches of the Nujiao River. It is 900 miles away from the current county government. It has passed five times.
It was moved to its current location.”
"Five moves?" Xie Bangui also became interested: "Why did the county government move?"
"It's not mentioned in the book!" Mei Xin'er said, turning over the county annals: "However, there is a very interesting legend here. Legend has it that Zhenshui, or the Nu Jiao River, is the dragon's path for dragons to return to their nests. So every one hundred years
There will be a strange scene of river water flowing backwards. This is because the dragons return to their nests and sleep after foraging for food, which stirs up the river and inflows the river water in reverse. In another hundred years, the dragons wake up and flow into the river along the river. The entire county will have heavy rains for months and the river water will surge. It is interesting.
Bar?"
Xie Bangui frowned and said, "When was the last time a dragon entered the water?"
"About two hundred years ago, the dragon returned to its nest. Huh -" Mei Xin'er searched for a long time: "Why did the dragon not come out again after it returned to its nest?"
Gao Sheng said in a heartless voice: "I probably slept to death. These things are not worthy of belief, so just take a look at them to relieve your boredom."
Xie Bangui's face looked slightly cold: "Something to relieve my boredom has already arrived."
Not long after the ghosts thanked each other, the candlelight in the county government office suddenly turned into faint green fire, and the wind howled like ghosts crying around the county government office.
A fierce banging on the door suddenly sounded: "Sir, my lord, something is not right!"
The two-inch-thick door of the county government office was suddenly opened, showing how frightened the government official outside the door was.
"Sir..." As soon as the yamen officer opened the door, a rope flew out of the darkness and was wrapped around his shoulders. The man's whole body was pulled backwards, and the ten fingers that were tied and bleeding were still holding on tightly.
He held on to the door panel and refused to let go. Suddenly, two sharp whistles disappeared in a flash. The officer's hands were cut off at the wrist, and his whole body was pulled into the endless black mist.
The yamen servant's screams and the sound of his body scraping against the sand and gravel only lasted for half a moment before something cut him off. Only two bleeding palms were left clinging to the door leaf and swaying in the wind.
"Ghost eyes, open!" Xie Bangui put his hands behind his back. When he took them out again, he had already put on two iron claws made of cold iron.
The iron claws are shaped like tiger claws and are designed to be folded in three according to the joints of the human hand. The blades of the claws are as sharp as knives. There are three openings on the back of each claw. When Xie Bangui's fingers move slightly, three one-foot-three claws pop out from the opening.
The two iron claws gave off bursts of cold light in the candlelight, and the runes on the iron claws gave people a mysterious and strange illusion.
"Juehun Claw? It turns out to be the Golden Coffin God Catcher - the successor of Juehun Claw Chenjiu. Isn't it simple?" Mei Xin'er shook out two half-foot-long daggers while laughing, and said with both hands:
"Spiritual eyes, open!"
Lao Qian didn't wait for Gao Sheng to open his mouth and took off his outer gown, revealing the black outfit underneath. Just looking at the dexterity with which he took off his gown, you knew that he was definitely not the kind of master who had no power to restrain a chicken. Although
His cultivation level may not reach Xiantian, but he is definitely not an ordinary warrior.
Lao Qian lifted up the back of his clothes to reveal six short-handled firecrackers at his waist. He took out two and held them in his hands. He pointed them at the door with the flat ends.
Gao Sheng's eyes almost popped out of his head: "The Zheng family's firearms? Why didn't I know you were so good at it?"
Lao Qian was so angry that he yelled: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to wait and feed meat to ghosts?"
"Yes, yes!" Gao Sheng then opened his clothes, revealing the magic talisman stuck inside like armor, and pulled out a three-foot-long money sword from his waist: "How about it? They are all from Longhu Mountain.
, can you calm down the scene?"
Xie Bangui said in a low voice without looking back: "Silence!"
Outside the county government office, the wind had stopped and the clouds had subsided, but there was still darkness and mist. The green candlelight that was no longer beating was eerily quiet. Gao Sheng couldn't see the scene outside, but he could hear the clanking sound of chains dragging on the stone ground in the dark night.
Zhongxiang County Government was slowly approaching. There seemed to be a few inaudible footsteps amidst the jingle of the beating chains.
Cold sweat flowed down the cheeks of Lao Qian and Gao Sheng. One of them was aiming at the door with his two guns, and the other had already held a handful of copper coins in his hand. They were waiting for something to show up and immediately struck head-on.
After a while, four plates appeared close to the threshold, each containing a bowl of white rice, a chicken leg and a pot of old wine.
"Death... decapitation..." Old Qian, who was so frightened that he almost shook his hands and fired, swallowed his saliva: "Does that thing treat us as death row prisoners?"
"Don't be nervous!" Xie Bangui untied the wine gourd around his waist and took a sip: "Since there is a decapitation meal, that thing will not kill immediately. Wait a minute."
Gao Sheng was so frightened that he almost cried: "Brother! You have ghost eyes and spiritual eyes. Brother, my eyes are completely black! Can you think of a trick and let us see it too. As long as brother can see,
I will never hold you back."
Xie Bangui casually threw a porcelain bottle to Gao Sheng: "I have some yin and yang water here. You can see it after you wash your eyes. The yin and yang water is not effective for long, and there is not much left. You use it sparingly. Once you use it, you
All I can do is eat the girl’s Sky Eye Talisman.”
"As long as you can see it!"
Lao Qian freed up one hand, dipped it in yin and yang water and wiped it on his eyes.
Gao Sheng simply poured the yin and yang water into his hands and washed his face.
After a moment, three figures appeared faintly in the black mist.
"It's time to hit the road." A pale ghost claw came through the fog and grabbed Xie Bangui.
Xie Bangui raised his right head fiercely, and the Soul-Destroying Claw came out of his hand. When it collided with the ghost's hand, fluorescent lights flashed out, and the entire ghost hand was torn to pieces. The Soul-Destroying Claw still continued unabated, and penetrated the fog with five steel wires.
In the midst of it, there was a burst of ghostly crying.
As soon as the ghost's cry rang out, the Soul-Destroying Claw was pulled back by the mechanism connected to Xie Bangui's shoulder and arm along the trajectory of the wire, and was firmly put back on Xie Bangui's hand.
The pale green phosphorus fire dripped down the tips of the claws in rows, turning into a sheet of fluorescence and disappearing into the air.
Xie Bangui sniffed Iron Claw and frowned: "We have reached the level of a big ghost. The ghosts outside are not that simple!"
Suddenly, there was a loud banging of chains on the ground, and heavy footsteps surrounded the county government office from all directions.
Mei Xin'er also lost her beauty: "What should we do? Do we need to set up a formation?"
"No! Get out from above."
