Chapter 551 [Old 9 Gate 30]
Zhang Qishan still disagreed with Youyou coming over, and said to the adjutant with a serious face: "Adjutant, you must keep an eye on the Madam, and never let her in. Master Ba, please come in with me."
When Youyou heard this, she became anxious and said quickly, "Husband, I really want to go in and take a look. Don't worry, I promise not to cause you any trouble. I will be obedient."
Zhang Qishan shook his head and said firmly: "No, this matter is not negotiable!"
Qi Tiezui, who was standing by, saw this and rolled his eyes. He said with a smile, "Master Buddha, how about this? I'll accompany my sister-in-law, and you go in with the adjutant. After all, I can't help you much. Look at me, I'm so weak, how can I help you? Master Buddha, you and Adjutant Zhang go in together, and I'll help you keep an eye on your sister-in-law."
Zhang Qishan frowned, thought for a moment, and said to Qi Tiezui: "Adjutant."
Zhang Rishan immediately understood what Master Buddha meant, and quickly walked to Qi Tiezui and said politely, "Master Ba, please come in."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse to enter the carriage, Qi Tiezui sighed helplessly, thinking that if that was the case, he might as well just go for it. He straightened his clothes and said calmly, "Okay, Master Buddha, let's go."
Afterwards, Zhang Qishan took Qi Tiezui into the train, and they carefully observed the death and placement of the bodies. During this process, Qi Tiezui accidentally found a document with the contents of the experiment drawn on it.
Zhang Qishan speculated based on various signs that the train and the bodies in it were probably used as burial objects, and the owner of the tomb was most likely in the last carriage. However, Qi Tiezui stopped Zhang Qishan from moving forward. He felt an ominous aura and thought that it was full of evil spirits and it was not advisable to rush in. However, Zhang Qishan did not think so.
When several coffins were opened, the bodies inside were in the same miserable state as the other bodies in the train. Qi Tiezui asked in confusion: "Master Buddha, can you tell me how this train could drive into the station without any living people?"
Zhang Qishan pondered for a moment and replied, "These people must have inhaled a lot of dead air beforehand, causing them to be dying when they entered the station. But to uncover the real mystery, I'm afraid we need to open the largest coffin to reveal the truth."
But the largest coffin is a whistle coffin, which is impossible for ordinary people to open. This coffin is sealed with molten iron, leaving only a small hole. If someone opens it forcibly, it will cause poison gas to leak. In order to open this coffin, one must have a hand that can reach into the hole and open it from the inside. Faced with such a difficult problem, the only thing they can rely on now is the ability and skills of the Zhang family.
Zhang Qishan immediately asked his personal soldiers of the Zhang family to come and help open the coffin, but when the soldier who was opening the coffin put his hand into the hole, he suddenly panicked and shouted for help.
Hearing this scream, the companions who were assisting him had to trigger a life-saving mechanism that would cut off an arm. Although the soldier lost an arm, he still gained nothing.
At this time, Zhang Qishan stepped forward calmly and reached in to open the coffin himself.
Finally, after some effort, the coffin was successfully opened, but no dangerous mechanism was found, only a corpse lying face down.
Zhang Qishan reached into the coffin and felt around carefully, and soon he found a ring that looked like it was from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Among the nine families in Changsha, the family that knows the most about the Northern and Southern Dynasties is Erye's family. Qi Tiezui suggested: "Why don't we go find Erye? I believe Erye must know more about this ring."
"Okay." Zhang Qishan nodded in agreement.
When everyone arrived at the Liyuan Opera House, they saw a graceful figure singing Farewell My Concubine on the stage. The graceful singing voice and elegant posture made the audience intoxicated.
Zhang Qishan and the others found a place to sit and wait for Er Yuehong to finish singing. They quietly enjoyed the performance on the stage, their hearts full of anticipation.
However, at this moment, a wealthy guest suddenly interrupted the Second Master who was singing. He shouted impatiently, "Stop, stop, stop, what the hell is this? Change the song for me. My ears are getting so annoyed by the noise."
Youyou was listening intently, and was very displeased by this person's sudden interruption. She frowned and muttered in her heart: "How abominable! How can this person be so ignorant of the rules and dare to be so presumptuous here."
Before Zhang Qishan could react, Youyou had teleported in front of the cursing man. Without saying a word, she attacked him directly, and in a few hits, she beat him so badly that his face was swollen and bruised, and he looked like a pig.
Then, she glared at the man fiercely and warned: "If you can't speak, don't speak. You have a foul mouth. Get away from me as far as you can and don't let me meet you again, or I will beat you every time I see you." After that, she returned to her seat and continued to enjoy the opera.
The man who was beaten into a pig's head had his entire face swollen like fermented dough, his eyes were left with only two thin slits, his lips were as thick as sausages, and even his speech became unclear: "You... give... uh... wait!" After saying that, he prepared to leave in embarrassment with the group of people behind him.
Seeing this, Zhang Qishan's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and he coldly ordered Zhang Rishan beside him: "Adjutant, go check this man's background. I want to see who he is. If he dares to act wild here, I will make sure he can't leave Changsha City!"
"Yes." Zhang Rishan took the order and left.
Seeing that Youyou had helped him solve his problem, Er Yuehong returned to the center of the stage and continued singing.
After the opera was over, Er Yuehong changed into a simple and elegant casual dress, slowly walked to Zhang Qishan and others, and bowed to thank them: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your help just now."
Youyou smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Second Master, you are too polite. In fact, even if we are not present, with your skills and wisdom, you can handle it easily. Besides, you should call me Youyou as before. There is no need to call me sister-in-law anymore. It seems so distant."
"Okay, then I will continue to call you Youyou. By the way, Master Fo, how come you have time to come to my theater recently?" Er Yuehong said.
"Second Master, look at this." Zhang Qishan took out a ring and handed it to Er Yuehong.
Er Yuehong recognized the ring at first sight because he had an identical one at home, both from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
So, Er Yuehong said, "Master Buddha, you know I haven't touched anything underground for a long time, so I can't help you with this. Please find another job."
Zhang Qishan frowned and said, "But Second Master, you are the only one among the Nine Sects who knows the most about the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Please help me. This is what we got from that train. It concerns the safety of the people of Changsha. We need to know what the Japanese are going to do?"
Er Yuehong was silent for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons. Finally, he looked up at Zhang Qishan and said slowly, "Master Buddha, you go back first, let me think about it."
"Okay, then I'll leave this ring with you, and we'll leave first." Zhang Qishan didn't force Er Yuehong, and left directly with You You and others.
Er Yuehong watched them leave, feeling a little complicated. He knew what Zhang Qishan wanted to do, but he didn't want to get involved. He picked up the ring and looked at it carefully. The pattern on it seemed to hide some secret.
Er Yuehong took the ring back to the Hong Mansion and sat alone in the study for a long time. His thoughts kept drifting away, recalling every bit of the past.
It was not until the dark night that Er Yuehong came back to his senses. He sighed softly, stood up, and walked to the bookcase. He gently pushed the bookcase, revealing the secret door at the back.
Er Yuehong walked through the secret door and entered the secret room. The secret room was full of traps, but this did not bother Er Yuehong, because these traps were designed by him.
He carefully avoided the trap and came to a room inside the secret room. There were no windows in this room, and it was pitch black. Er Yuehong lit a kerosene lamp, and the weak light illuminated the entire room.
There were all kinds of spooky objects, maps and photos in the room. Er Yuehong walked to a table, opened the drawer and took out a small box.
He opened the box, and inside lay a ring that was exactly the same as the one on his hand. He picked up the two rings and compared them carefully, and found that they were almost identical, except for a slight difference in color.
Er Yuehong knew that Master Fo was full of curiosity and desire to explore the mine, and he would definitely go there to find out. However, the mine was full of dangers, like a huge mystery waiting to be solved. Thinking of his own people who had ventured into the mine, and ended up with nine deaths and injuries, Er Yuehong could not help but feel worried.
After some thought, Er Yuehong decided to sort out some information about the mine. This information might provide some clues to Master Buddha, but it might also bring more questions. However, Er Yuehong believed that with Master Buddha's wisdom and courage, he would be able to turn danger into safety.
