Chapter 16: The Death of the Old Man


When Qi Lu returned to the office, Lao Wu frowned after listening to him tell him about meeting Qiangzi's father.

"You can't even open a box" Lao Wu carefully picked up the wooden box and tried to open it, only to find that Qi Lu was not lying.

He took the wooden box in his hand and looked at it over and over again, his eyes lingering on the strange oracle bone writing on the surface of the box.

"This is a blood curse that was quite popular during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, no wonder we can't open this box."

Lao Wu saw the clue, he pinched the Dharma seal in his hand, recited the mantra silently in his mouth, and a bright red charm suddenly appeared on the box.

Qi Lu asked, "Can you unravel this spell?"

"If you want to open the box unharmed, you must have the person who placed the curse to lift the blood curse himself."

As he spoke, the spell was hidden in the box.

"Everyone has been dead for nearly three thousand years, where can we go to find him" Qi Lu muttered: "Forget it, let's focus on Jin Sanye's side." ” "Why don't we find a hammer and smash it open."

Ding Xiaolan had a bad idea.

"That's asking for trouble, once the wooden box is destroyed, the power of this blood curse will be devoured on the body of the destroyer, and then he will always live in fear, and finally become a dead soul who will never be reborn on the Yellow Spring Road."

"It's horrible."

Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but shudder.

Qi Lu took back the mysterious wooden box from Lao Wu's hand, walked into the inner room and locked it in the safe.

When Qi Lu came out, Lao Wu handed him a cigarette and said, "Come, smoke a cigarette to refresh yourself." ” "Hmm" Qi Lu's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

Ding Xiaolan asked with concern: "What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?"

"I" Qi Lu's face was flushed, and he said incoherently: "My things have dropped" "Let's break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, pay attention in the future."

Lao Wu took a sip of wine disapprovingly.

"The necklace has fallen" Qi Lu's voice suddenly became urgent.

"What, you don't have a brain" Lao Wu opened his eyes and saw that Qi Lu's neck was empty, and immediately scolded him angrily.

"Me" Ding Xiaolan saw that the two of them were nervous, so she reminded Qi Lu and said, "When did it happen, do you remember where it fell?"

"Fell on the strong son, and forgot to take it at his father's house."

"You're too careless, what's going on," Old Wu looked angry.

"I'll have to go to his house and get it back quickly, and I'll explain it to you then."

Ding Xiaolan said, "I'll go with you." ” "Go, I'll drive" Lao Wu walked quickly to the front, if the Jin Hongjian fell into the hands of the gangsters, it was not a serious consequence that he could bear.

Lao Wu drove the dilapidated sedan through the street, ran several red lights one after another, and came to the community where Qiangzi's father lived as fast as possible.

"I don't know how many points will be deducted now, anyway, the driver's license is reimbursed."

Lao Wu muttered a sentence and got out of the car urging Qi Lu to lead the way.

Qi Lu almost trotted all the way to the small building of Qiangzi's father.

He went upstairs and rang the doorbell vigorously, but no one opened it.

He rang the doorbell a few more times, but there was still no movement inside.

Qi Lu suddenly became anxious and began to knock on the iron door hard, and Lao Wu also panicked and knocked on the door with him.

A loud knock on the door alarmed the next-door neighbors, and a gray-haired woman opened the door to check what was going on outside.

When she saw Qi Lu and the others, she immediately shouted vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

Qi Lu breathlessly told her about the intention he had come to her.

Ding Xiaolan saw that after knocking on the door for a long time, no one came out inside, so she asked Qi Lu in a low voice: "Did he go out?"

"Impossible."

The old woman replied, "He just came to my house and handed me a letter, saying that he would give him this letter when a guest came. ” "So he's at home" Qi Lu suddenly had an ominous omen, he seemed to hear the old man in the house making a gasp of death.

The voice was silky at first, then hoarse, as if it came from another world.

"There's no way you can open it now.

You can open it after a few days. ” "When the testament is successful, it is also the time when the family's mission is completely over."

The words that Qiangzi's father had said to him suddenly sounded in his head, Qi Lu suddenly realized what these words meant, and he almost yelled at the old woman: "Hurry up and call the property management to open the door" Seeing the old woman looking at herself in a daze, Qi Lu shouted again: "The old man's life is in danger, go quickly" The old woman finally realized that Qi Lu was not joking anymore, she hurriedly took the elevator upstairs to find the property, Qi Lu was afraid that she would not be able to speak clearly when she was old, and asked Ding Xiaolan to accompany her.

After a while, the property manager came upstairs with the key, and he stood in front of the door, looking at Qi Lu while hesitating whether to open the door.

After all, Qi Lu was a stranger, and he was afraid that opening the door rashly without the owner's consent would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Hurry up and open the door, I'll be responsible for something" Qi Lu's voice changed a little because of his anxiety.

Lao Wu was also furious, thinking that if this administrator rubbed again, he would have to perform his lock-picking skills in front of everyone.

Maybe it was Qi Lu's words that reassured the property manager, but this time he didn't hesitate and inserted the key into the lock hole to open the closed iron door.

As soon as Qi Lu rushed into the room in front of him, he saw Qiangzi's father lying on the chair, his eyes seemed to be closed.

"Old man" Qi Lu called softly, and found that he didn't react at all, so he walked up to him and immediately noticed that something was wrong with the situation.

In an instant, Qi Lu's breathing became rapid, and he used his hand to test the old man's snort.

No, this can't be, if it weren't for holding on to the chair, Qi Lu almost collapsed to the ground.

"The old man is dead" "Ahh Only Lao Wu, with sharp eyes, had already seen Qi Lu's necklace on the dining table, so he hurriedly stepped forward, put it in his pocket while everyone was unprepared, and then glanced at Qi Lu.

Although Qi Lu saw his actions, his heart was extremely chaotic.

He stood beside the old man's corpse in a dejected manner, his eyes were messy, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "This is impossible, he was chatting with me just now, just leave" In a trance, Qi Lu felt that he was being carried out by Lao Wu.

Lao Wu didn't want to be entangled at this time, and he had already made up his mind that thirty-six plans were the best policy.

But the aunt next door stopped them.

"Is there something wrong?"

said Lao Wu.

"What's your name" The old woman ignored Lao Wu, but turned her head and asked Qi Lu.

"My name is Qi Lu."

"Wait, I have something for you."

The old woman turned around and went home, took out a letter and stuffed it into Qi Lu's hand.

"I also fulfilled his last wish for him."

Qi Lu calmly grounded the letter, and when he saw the three black pen words on the cover, the whole person trembled involuntarily.

He tried to control his emotions, and was about to ask the old woman what was going on, when he saw her enter the house of Qiangzi's father, and prepare to talk to the neighbors about the old man's funeral.

Lao Wu took Qi Lu to the car, and then sent him back to the Kunlun office with Ding Xiaolan.

Qi Lu sat on the office chair and closed his eyes, numbly took the necklace from Lao Wu's hand and put it back on his neck.

Lao Wu was still chattering beside him and telling him not to be careless anymore, but Qi Lu's mind was almost blank.

The old man died, without warning, except for the only one conversation, Qi Lu didn't know anything about him, and his heart was extremely complicated and sour.

Once you die, there is nothing.

"No" Qi Lu suddenly thought that the old man had left him something: a wooden box.

The wooden box is locked in the office's safe.

Although Qi Lu was weak, he still came to the safe, carefully turned the code and opened the door.

I couldn't tell what it felt, Qi Lu took out the wooden box with a slight tremble, and then returned to the office and put the wooden box on the table, looking at it blankly.

After a while, he took out the letter that the old man had given him, opened the cover, and took it out.

There was only one short sentence on the letter.

Xiao Qi: The wooden box can be opened, so I'll leave it to you later Qi Lu put down the letter, trembling and stretched out his hand towards the wooden box, but with a slight lift, the lid of the box was opened.

He hesitated to look inside, and found seven or eight blackened tortoiseshells in the wooden box, which seemed to have some marks engraved on them.

"It seems that with the death of the old man, the blood curse has been completely lifted."

Lao Wu sighed lightly and took out the tortoise shell in the box, carefully placed it on the table, and looked at it with a magnifying glass.

Lao Wu muttered while looking at it: "It's messy, what kind of text is this, I've never seen it." ” "These pieces of tortoise shells seem to be connected."

Ding Xiaolan, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that he was famous.

"That's right, why didn't I expect it" Lao Wu slapped his thighs and quickly connected them together, and the area was actually the size of a basin.

Ding Xiaolan exclaimed: "What a big tortoise shell, is this a sea turtle?"

"It's not."

Lao Wu shook his head and said, "This is a freshwater turtle." ” "Then how many years does it have to live to grow so big, wouldn't it be too cruel to be killed like this."

Ding Xiaolan was a little unbearable.

"Not necessarily, it's probably a hatchling."

"You brag, I don't believe it."

"What's so strange about this, wasn't Penglai Sacred Mountain just being carried by a giant tortoise back then to float on the sea."

Ding Xiaolan was silent, she had heard her uncle Chen Jixian mention the allusion that Lao Wu said, and knew that what he said was true.

"Hey, this seems to be a map" Lao Wu looked back at Qi Lu in amazement, and saw that he was still in a state of despair, so he forcibly pulled him up to look at the patchwork tortoise shell.

"Is this the map of the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty that the old man said" Qi Lu stroked these tortoise shells, thinking thoughtfully.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and a person walked in from the outside.

Qi Lu couldn't help but feel shocked when he looked at the person who came, and said in a lost voice: "Team Liu, why are you here?"

Taking advantage of Qi Lu's greetings, Lao Wu had already quickly put the tortoise shell into the box behind him, and then hid the box.

Liu Chenfei didn't care about Lao Wu's actions, he threw the briefcase on the table angrily, pointed at Qi Lu and said angrily: "It's all your good deeds" ytforiitfreeti0 t1706231537:
