Chapter 918 Haunted Town
Huang Xiaolong quickly decided to go to Lushan, Xijiang Province! Looking for the mysterious black knife numbered "Three".
I flew directly from Shanghai Stock Exchange to Xijiang Province, and I will not return to Binhai City for the time being. I just called my wives and wives to keep them safe.
If you want to go to Xijiang Province, Huang Xiaolong cannot bring all the monsters, his apprentices, Ming Kuan and others.
Finally, the negotiations decided to stay in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Fox Demon Empress, the Snake Demon Empress, the Hedgehog, and the Yellow Skin.
Huang Xiaolong enlightened the various lost practice methods and tricks of the Luotou clan to his disciple Meng Jingling, allowing her to stay in the Shanghai market to practice peacefully. Mingkuan was responsible for handling trivial matters in Meng Jingling's life. Huang Xiaolong also taught a few Taoist techniques to Mingkuan.
Feng Cold Smoke also stayed by Meng Jingling's side to protect and take care of her.
When he went to Xijiang Province, Huang Xiaolong only brought his little wife Ma Chuxia, Qingqing and Xiaohong.
The day before leaving, Ma Chuxia found Huang Xiaolong and frowned. "Xiaolong, something went wrong."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Huang Xiaolong was stunned.
"Our Taoist Association, the dozen Taoist priests who went to Lushan to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, all lost contact." A bad premonition appeared in Ma Chuxia's eyes.
"Xiaolong, our Taoist Association is equipped with satellite phones. Even if you go deep into Lushan, you will not be able to lose contact. But now, we can no longer contact those Taoist priests. Their mobile phones are all turned off and they cannot be located in GPS. Naturally, they can't contact them on WeChat..." Ma Chuxia said a little gloomy. "Can they all... be killed by evil ghosts? According to the information we have obtained before, the ghosts found in Lushan are probably incomparable characters like the red-clothed evil ghost... The more than a dozen Taoist priests sent over were also very good at Taoism, and there were enough people, so there would be no trouble..."
After pausing, Ma Chuxia looked up at Huang Xiaolong. "Xiaolong, can it be our intelligence error? There is something hidden in Lushan... or even the Ghost King..."
"President Ma, what are you afraid of?" Xiaohong blinked his eyes. "Even if there is a ghost king or even a ghost immortal, our young master will not be destroyed by the ashes. Besides, the Taoist priests under your command may not be dead at all? They were just fascinated by the natural scenery of Lushan, turned off their phones, wandering freely among the mountains, leisurely and happily."
"Okay, go to Lushan tomorrow. Let's stop guessing here." Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.
The next day, Huang Xiaolong, Ma Chuxia, Qingqing and Xiaohong flew directly to Changnan City, the capital of Xijiang Province.
On the plane, Ma Chuxia also briefly explained the situation of Lu Shan to Huang Xiaolong.
Lushan is a nationally renowned tourist destination in China. It is famous for its majestic, strange, dangerous and beautiful, and has extremely high scientific value and tourism ornamental value. It is known as the "Super Strange and Showing World". It is selected as a World Cultural Heritage Site and a World Geopark.
However, although Lushan is very famous and receives tens of thousands of tourists from all over the country or even the world every day, what has been developed is only the tip of the iceberg. There are still a large number of places in the original undeveloped state.
There are 171 peaks named in Lushan since ancient times, 26 hills, 20 valleys, 16 caves, and 22 strange rocks. The water flows at the developmental cracks of the river valley, forming many rapids and waterfalls, 22 waterfalls, 18 streams, and 14 lakes...
Such a huge area naturally takes a long time to fully develop it.
The areas without development are naturally blocked for tourists, but there are also many brave tourists who quietly enter these barren lands. There are also many hikers who disappear or die every year. Some of them die very strangely, but these news is naturally blocked and not announced to the public.
"Little dragon, in fact, in those primitive places in Lushan, among the rarely visited deep mountains and forests, there are dangers everywhere. When people walk in, they will get lost by accident. The miasma in the mountains makes people dizzy. There are even some poisonous miasma that corrodes human flesh and blood. Various poisonous insects are also fatal..." Ma Chuxia talked. "Of course, what is more dangerous is the legendary mountain ghost monster, ghost monster, and some statements. In Lushan, there are some monsters that have cultivated into human form, which are specifically confusing people..."
"Pu, is it? There are monsters in Lushan? Monsters who have practiced into human form?" Qingqing laughed and was full of interest.
"It's just a legend. I can't say it." Ma Chuxia said seriously. "But no one has really seen a monster. Perhaps, everyone he has seen with his own eyes has died."
"That's great! If you can find monsters in Lushan this time, it would be so fun!" Xiaohong clapped her hands.
"I said you two little sisters, can you stop making trouble?" Ma Chuxia was a little dissatisfied.
"Little wife, don't pay attention to them, they are crazy." Huang Xiaolong grinned.
After more than two hours of flight, the plane landed at Changnan International Airport, the capital of Xijiang Province.
As soon as I got off the plane, several middle-aged men who were energetic and had a power to exudate their bodies walked up towards me.
When they met, the middle-aged men all bent down and bowed respectfully to Huang Xiaolong and Ma Chuxia. "Welcome to the President and Mr. Huang."
"Xiaolong, these people are the heads of the Xijiang Provincial Branch of the Metaphysics Society." Ma Chuxia introduced.
"Yes." Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly.
One of the middle-aged men, with a sad face, sighed. "President, a dozen waiters and others entered Lushan to catch ghosts... but... they lost contact... I'm afraid this time it will be a disaster."
"I already know this. Xiaolong and I came here in person just to deal with this matter." Ma Chuxia nodded majesticly, but did not tell anyone about the black knife.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang," said several Taoists repeatedly. "Several, please follow us."
At that moment, several Taoist priests led Huang Xiaolong and left the airport and got on a business car that had been prepared long ago.
Drive straight to Lushan!
It takes about 2 hours to drive from Changnan International Airport to the foot of Lushan.
Huang Xiaolong sat in the car with his eyes closed and rested. Ma Chuxia seemed a little tired, and he leaned his head on Huang Xiaolong's shoulder like a dependent person and took a nap.
However, Qingqing and Xiaohong, two little monsters, seemed to be injected with chicken blood along the way, constantly pointing at the scene flying past outside the car window, chirping.
The car drove to a small town at the foot of Mount Lu.
This town is called "Xiufeng Town". It is extremely prosperous and has a strong commercial atmosphere. Many tourists who want to climb the mountain will choose to stay in this town in advance, either to replenish their energy for the next day of climbing, or to experience the style of the ancient town, or to replenish supplies.
At this time, it was almost dusk, the town was brightly lit, with pedestrians, and various stalls had been set up.
Behind the town, the outline of Mount Lu can be seen faintly.
It is true that there are mountains, lush and tumultuous, strange peaks rise, and clouds and mists are everywhere among the mountains and ridges. If you watch it during the day, it will definitely give people a taste of a fairyland on earth.
"Hahaha, this is Lushan, it looks really good. No wonder, many famous poets and lyrics in history have written poems and praised the beauty of Lushan." Huang Xiaolong got out of the car with a smile.
A Taoist priest said respectfully. "Young Master Huang, President, and Waiter and the others entered an undeveloped primitive area. He once passed by a very isolated and backward village. The mountains are rugged, the ravines are full of, and the roads are difficult to walk. It seems that we can only stay in this town tonight. We will enter the mountain early tomorrow morning to find the traces of Waiter and the others."
Ma Chuxia looked at Huang Xiaolong with inquiring eyes.
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
At this time, one of the Taoist priests suddenly whispered. "Young Master Huang, I'm not to hide it from it. This 'Xiufeng Town' has been often haunted recently... Don't look at the bustling and lively here, and tourists gather, but, there have been a lot of trouble in secret."
"Oh?" Huang Xiaolong smiled slightly. "What's wrong?"
"That's right," the middle-aged Taoist priest whispered. "Some tourists, when they came to this town, had an accident after leaving, and inexplicably suffered a disaster. Some were hit by cars, some drowned in swimming, some jumped off buildings and committed suicide, some hanged themselves, and some died of self-immolation... Our Metaphysical Society also sent people to this town to investigate, but found no clues."
"Hahaha, I understand. What you mean is that you want me to take action?" Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.
Several Taoist priests looked embarrassed, but they nodded at the same time.
"Little Dragon, it is the duty of us cultivators to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Since we have come, it is better to just..." Ma Chuxia begged softly.
"How many people died after coming to this town?" Huang Xiaolong asked curiously.
"This... Mr. Huang, as far as we know, more than 60 people have encountered an unexpected accident..." The Taoist said fiercely. "It must be that there are ghosts at work. I have seen some corpses and noticed a faint yin energy... I think these people who died suddenly were overwhelmed by ghosts! Otherwise, it would be impossible to commit suicide for no reason!"
"Are there so many 60 people dead?" Qingqing smacked her tongue.
"Yes...yes, if you don't find a way to solve this problem, people will probably die incessantly..." A Taoist priest shook his head and sighed.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the town, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a few seconds, he smiled. "Let's go, let's go to the town first and find a place to live."
A group of people were no different from other tourists. They walked into the town, found an inn in the town, and opened several luxurious large rooms.
After checking in, it was already past 8 pm, and various nightlife in the town were released.
The hawking of various vendors, the bargaining of tourists, the hoarse singing of singers...
However, such a small town with singing and dancing is hidden in some unknown dirty things! Dirty things that cost human life!
"Young master, it's so lively outside. Let's go out and have fun! And I'm so hungry! I want to eat something! I want to eat chicken!" Xiaohong held Huang Xiaolong's arm and said like a coquettish.
"Eat chicken? You know how to eat chicken all day long." Huang Xiaolong laughed and scolded.
At that moment, Huang Xiaolong brought a big guy to the streets of the town.
"Xiaolong, have you discovered something?" Ma Chuxia asked in a low voice.
Ma Chuxia is also a Taoist priest with good at Taoism. However, after entering the town, she only felt that the town was not very clean, but she could not accurately lock the location for a while, and was not sure where those ghosts and ghosts who were seeking money and killing came from.
"Of course I discovered it. My little wife, this kind of small-scale quarrel is just a piece of cake to me~" Huang Xiaolong smiled.
Several Taoist priests of the Metaphysics Society were shocked when they heard this. "Mr. Huang, do you already have clues? Where are you...?"
Huang Xiaolong smiled but said nothing, but he had already brought the big guy to the gate of a hotel.
The name of this hotel is "Yuelai Hotel", and the scale is quite large. There are many vehicles parked in the parking space outside.
The smell of fragrant oil smoke came out in the store, the sound of cups, plates, bowls, and cups, and the sound of toasting were heard one after another.
"Haha" Huang Xiaolong looked at the 'Yuelai Hotel' calmly, and then smiled. "The business is good, let's go to this hotel for dinner."
A group of people walked into the hotel.
Immediately, a young and beautiful waitress ran over and said with a numb expression. "How many people? Please, what are you eating?"
Huang Xiaolong saw that there were a few dark patterns on the waitress's palace of Illness.
Soon, the waitress brought Huang Xiaolong and others to a large table by the window.
Everyone sat down and ordered the dishes.
Suddenly, Ma Chuxia whispered, "Xiaolong, something is wrong with this hotel! It has yin energy! Moreover, the waiters, cashiers, and those who run the hall here all... all have a bit of gloomy feeling, as if... they are all possessed by evil spirits..."
"Hey, don't be anxious first, eat first." Huang Xiaolong said.
"If there is any problem with this restaurant, then all those who come here to eat will suffer..." Qingqing's eyes turned. "So many people... this ghost has too much appetite, right?"
Huang Xiaolong said to himself as if he was talking to himself. "Of course it is impossible for all the people who eat here to have an accident. As a ghost, he will choose the target..."
At this moment, there was a small table next to Huang Xiaolong, two young men, one man and one woman. It seemed that they had finished eating. While wiping the corners of their mouths with napkins, they waved to the side, "Pay."
A waiter with a sinister face ran over, knocked it on a calculator a few times, and smiled. "Two people, a total of 222 yuan."
"Um? 222 yuan?" The female customer took the bill and took a look, "Just collect 200 yuan, the integer is easy to settle the accounts."
A hint of evil appeared in the waiter's eyes, and he shook his head firmly and said, "Look... our small shop, small business, has a discounted price of 222 yuan. I can't give you less. I hope you can understand."
The female customer was still ready to bargain, but the male customer sitting opposite took out his wallet and said carelessly. "It's 222 yuan, it's 222 yuan, we can't afford it."
As he said that, the male customer counted 222 yuan out of his wallet and asked to hand it to the waiter.
"Wait~" Huang Xiaolong smiled at the other side. "222 yuan is right? Don't pay for the order first, then order a dish. In short, the amount of the purchase order must not be a few of the same numbers. 222 yuan is not enough, 333 yuan is not enough, and 444 yuan is not enough... Do you understand what I mean?"
"Hmph!" The waiter raised his eyes and stared at Huang Xiaolong with a bit of harshness when he heard Huang Xiaolong's words.
Chapter completed!
