Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 497 Return to Bone Spirit Street

"Yang Feng Hammer!!! This thing is his!"

Xiao Ran was shocked and looked up at Wang Shouyue in front of him: "Uncle Wang, where did this thing come from?"

Xiao Ran has seen Shouye's memories.

After the incident with Zhao Jingqi, my grandfather and the other seven people went to Guiyang to look for Zhao Jingqi's whereabouts, and went to the ancient tomb in the mountains together. (From Chapter 362.)
As a result, I encountered big trouble inside.

The seven brothers narrowly escaped death.

Xie Yutang broke an arm here.

In order to save them, Zhou Shang used up all the good karma accumulated by the Zhou family and even owed a large sum of money. This was one of the reasons why the Zhou family fell into decline.

They also learned about the mysterious city in this ancient tomb.

And Yang Fengchui also disappeared here.

The Yang family lost Yang Fengchui, the originally designated heir, which led to the separation of the three branches. Eventually, the Yang family disappeared and was never the same again.

Therefore, Xiao Ran really didn't expect to see Yang Fengchui's suona here.

Hearing Xiao Ran's question, Wang Shouyue was a little surprised: "You can recognize this thing? It seems that you know something."

"I know, but I don't know much."

At that time, Beast Master, also known as Sun Miao, coveted the curse in the box and betrayed his brothers. Not only did he severely injure Zhao Qingming, he also trapped several people in the tomb. Naturally, he had no way of knowing what happened later.

Wang Shouyue took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran shook his head: "I don't smoke."

Wang Shouyue did not insist on putting the cigarette in his mouth, lighting it, and taking a deep puff: "My father was actually a member of the team back then, but he was from a different group."

Xiao Ran thought to himself, "The other group Wang Shouyue mentioned should be Mao Si and his group."

"My dad got into trouble when they went down there. Grandpa Yang actually went missing while trying to save him. He was never seen alive or dead. After Grandpa Zhou rescued my dad, he returned home and felt something was wrong, so he organized a few tomb robbers and went down to the tomb again. In the end, they brought this thing back."

When Wang Shouyue said this, his eyes narrowed into slits, stared at Xiao Ran and asked: "If I tell you that Grandpa Yang is still alive, would you believe it?"

Xiao Ran was stunned and remained silent for a moment.

Yang Fengchui is the sixth of seven brothers. Not to mention how old he would be if he were still alive, the key point is how could he still be alive?
Seeing Xiao Ran remained silent, Wang Shouyue exhaled a puff of smoke: "I don't believe it either, but this is what my father told me, and my father said that this thing was given to him by Grandpa Yang, but Grandpa Yang couldn't get out and was trapped inside."

"Trapped in a tomb??"

"Yes, but that's not right either. Anyway, my father was also very vague and strange at the time. He only said that there was no way to get in or out of that place, and that the people trapped in there were like the living dead."

Wang Shouyue pointed at the suona in the box and said, "My father wanted to give this suona to the Yang family, but when he came back, he found out that the three branches of the Yang family had split up and Mr. Yang's family had left Luoyang. My father had no choice but to look for your grandfather and his family. In the end, he took this thing back. I don't know the specific reason, but it seems that we made an agreement with each other, so I changed my name to Wang Shouyue."

After hearing what happened, Xiao Ran thought about it carefully and understood something. He put the suona in the box, asked Wang Shouyue and his wife to wait for a while, and went out for a while.

When he returned after a while, he had two black woven bags in his hands.

"This is also what my grandfather asked me to bring to you. It's just a token of my appreciation. Uncle Wang, please don't refuse it."

As he said this, he placed the two bags on the table.

Wang Shouyue was stunned. The couple looked at each other and then carefully opened the woven bag. When they saw the neatly stacked red banknotes inside, they were also shocked.

"We dare not do that. With so much money, we... dare not accept it."

Wang Shouyue’s wife quickly jumped up and waved her hands to refuse.

"Aunt, this money is clean. I just took it out from the bank. You can keep it without worrying about it. Don't do laundry anymore. Just live a down-to-earth life."

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said to Wang Shouyue, "Uncle Wang, I'll take this thing. Please take care of yourself."

Xiao Ran said this, put the box away, turned around and walked out the door.

Wang Shouyue's wife wanted to chase him, but Wang Shouyue pulled her back: "Don't chase him. Just keep the money."

Wang Shouyue let out a long breath, as if the burden on his shoulders had suddenly been lightened, and before he finished speaking, he said to his wife, "Let's go to the police station tomorrow."

"What are you going to the police station for?"

Wang Shouyue leaned back in his chair, took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, then blew out a smoke ring and looked at the money on the table: "Change your name back. My name is Wang Zixiang, not Wang Shouyue..."

……

"Master, I'm back."

Xiao Ran returned home with the box and walked straight towards the backyard. He carefully pushed the box off the door handle and put it down.

When the old man saw the box Xiao Ran brought back, he stood up from his chair and walked to the box. He opened the box, looked at the suona inside, and nodded with satisfaction. "Grandpa!"

Xiao Ran frowned, hesitated for a moment and asked, "You... don't want to go find Grandpa Yang, do you?"

According to Wang Shouyue's words, Yang Fengchui was trapped in that big tomb, but it was not that big tomb. He could neither get in nor get out. Xiao Ran thought of a possibility at that time, that is, the maze city.

Perhaps, Yang Feng Hammer was trapped in the maze city at that time.

If this is the case, it makes sense why my grandfather has been forced to stay in the world of the living. They are waiting for the day when the maze city comes and then they will go to Guiyang to find Yang Fengchui.

Although this was just a guess, the more Xiao Ran thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was greater.

With my grandfather's temper, he is capable of doing such a thing.

However, facing Xiao Ran's question, the old man did not explain anything. He just opened the box on the table, took out a jade pipe from it and threw it to Xiao Ran: "If you are going to Bashu, take this pipe with you. If you encounter any trouble, go to the local Pao Brothers Association and give it to the leader of the Pao Brothers Association. They can help you solve it."

Xiao Ran took the pipe and saw the old man sitting back in his chair with the box in his arms. He rocked the chair and closed his eyes: "I'm tired. You should leave if you want to. Don't stay here."

Seeing that his grandfather refused to talk to him more, Xiao Ran felt helpless.

In fact, he really wanted to tell his grandfather that he was very strong and that he might be able to help with this matter.

But after opening his mouth, he still didn't say anything.

Anyway, the maze city hasn't fallen yet. When the day comes that the maze city falls, I can rush back to help the old man and the others.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran turned and walked out the door.

"Om!!"

Looking at the closed door, the old man held the box in his arms and looked at the yellowed photo on the wall: "Wait a little longer, Lao Liu, we will take you home soon..."

It's getting dark.

Xiao Ran lay in bed unable to sleep. It was not appropriate for him to interfere in his grandfather's affairs now. He could only wait for an opportunity in the future. At worst he could just go with him then.

With my own means, it would be easy to capture the next tomb. Even if there is a maze city underneath, I can protect my grandfather and the others and successfully get old man Yang Fengchui out.

I took out my phone and took a look at the nearest flights to Bashu.

You won’t know the result until you see it. You will find out that direct flights to Los Angeles will have to wait until next week. If you take the high-speed rail, it will take seven hours, and the seats on the high-speed rail are all second-class.

First-class and business-class seats were already sold out.

Thinking about having to squeeze with others in the second-class seats, Xiao Ran simply booked a business-class ticket for next week.

Although it is a bit expensive, to Xiao Ran, money is not important at all.

After booking the flight ticket, Xiao Ran waited until early the next morning and went straight to the supermarket to buy all kinds of things.

It was a rare trip back this time, so naturally there were a lot of things that needed to be purchased. And if nothing unexpected happened, Wu Man would have already returned to Guling Street, and he still needed to repair his arm himself.

Wu Man and Xiao Ran agreed that he would be responsible for finding the arm, and Xiao Ran would be responsible for repairing it.

Therefore, all kinds of fresh vegetables and meat are naturally indispensable, just as they can be used for rehabilitation training after Wu Man’s recovery.

Only after finishing a day's shopping did Xiao Ran go to Guanlin Temple with the roast chicken and two bottles of good wine he had bought specially from Yushu Garden.

However, what surprised Xiao Ran was that the bald old man was not there.

No one knew where he went.

This inevitably made Xiao Ran have a hunch that it seemed to be related to the actions of his grandfather and others.

After all, among the seven brothers, leaving aside the traitor Sun Miao and the missing Yang Fengchui, Zhao Qingming and his grandfather had both passed away among the five brothers.

There are only three left. One is Xie Yutang, who is said to have a broken arm. Xiao Ran has never heard of him. Another is the old man of the Zhou family, Zhou Shang. The last one is the bald old man Li Qing.

At this time, the bald old man was not in Guanlin. Where did he go? ?
Xiao Ran asked around in Guanlin Temple and even asked the old Taoist priest who lived in the backyard, but no one knew where the bald old man had gone.

After asking in vain, Xiao Ran could only leave a message to let everyone know that Lu Cheng was fine before leaving Guanlin Temple.

Walking along the road, Xiao Ran did not go home. After making sure that nothing was left behind, he turned around and walked to an empty alley, silently chanting in his heart: "Return!!"

This time, Xiao Ran directly used [Industrial Return] to return to Guling Street directly, saving a lot of time and trouble.

As the white mist gradually enveloped Xiao Ran's body, a strong pulling sensation came over him. The next moment, when the white mist in front of Xiao Ran's eyes dissipated, he had returned to his room.

Before he opened his eyes, Xiao Ran raised his nose and smelled the smell of food. He couldn't help but frowned: "It seems that Wu Man is back, but... how can he cook without arms?"
