Chapter 1147: Case: Dart Bureau
Jiu Bo paused: "I don't know what's in that box, and I didn't see the slightest clue when I checked with the most famous organ master later." This box was sent by a masked man in black on a rainy night twenty years ago, and he gave one hundred taels of gold as a deposit, saying that he would give another hundred taels after the deed was completed. ”
"Let's send this box to the Ge family in Feiyun Prefecture, Ge Young Master Ge Tianqi. Our Qingfeng Dart Bureau was in Helan, and although the sect master thought that this trip was a little strange, after investigation, it was found that the Ge family was only a businessman, and there was nothing wrong with some family backgrounds. So the suzerain decided to take it with the rest of the goods, so that the box would not be too conspicuous. ”
Su Xin couldn't help but answer: "But something happened halfway?" ”
Jiubo: "That's right, on the night we received this box, in fact, not long after the man in black left, our dart game caught fire for no reason. The fire was very strange, the roof and the outside of the house were fine, but all the furniture inside should have been burned to the core. We can't douse it with water... A few people accidentally touched the fire, and their bodies were burned into a skeleton..."
Su Xin was surprised in her heart, this is definitely not a mortal fire, could it be that someone did it on purpose?
"When we got out, it occurred to us that it had something to do with this box. You know, the most important thing we value in the game is reputation, if the reputation is gone, the game will collapse. It has only been in business for several generations, so even if the dart game is burned down, the sect master still decides to send this dart to it. ”
In order to hide people's eyes, I found a few similar boxes overnight, wrapped them in cloth, and sent them to Feiyun Prefecture in four ways. And the Sect Master asked me and the other three dart masters to take this box and hide it secretly. I thought that if someone really had the idea of fighting this box, then the four groups of people could lure out the people in the shadows, and we would disguise ourselves and take the opportunity to pass through with the rest of the caravans......"
Although it has been ten years, Jiu Bo's tears involuntarily and silently flowed down when he talked about it, but he narrated it unconsciously.
"We waited for a day at a ruined temple outside the city, and the next day we set out with a large caravan...... Who knew that this was the beginning of the disaster, at night, the caravan camped, and the sky inexplicably began to rain lightly, and then ...... Dozens of cartloads of goods, as well as mules and horses, all got up naturally, and in less than half an hour they were burned to skeletons, and people went to put out the fires, but they couldn't shake them off if they got wet...... One of our dart masters was also accidentally burned by the fire..."
"We were really sure then that everything was caused by this box...... We hurt them... There were more than 30 people in that caravan... Woo."
Jiu Bo said with tears in his eyes, "But, but we have no way out..."
Credibility is for a game that has been passed down for generations, that is life, or even something more important than life!
Su Xin also felt that there was a ball of cotton blocking her heart, but she didn't expect this box to be so evil.
But at this time, she looked like a very ordinary box, without any abnormalities.
After Jiu Bo eased his emotions, he continued: "We know that this box is unknown, so naturally it is impossible to partner with other caravans, that is harming people." So we decided to hire our own carriage to go..."
"Since then, there have been no natural phenomena, but there have been a lot of bandits along the way... In the past, the darts were all about having a good relationship with these people, and they could be accommodating by giving some silver, but that time, those people killed us like crazy, and we fought to the death, and the two dart masters were killed by them on the spot, and I and another dart master escaped with the box. ”
"I was already wounded and decided to give him my things and let him take them with me. But as soon as he walked out of the valley, a landslide occurred......"
"I dug out his body, and the box was still tightly guarded by him, and I buried him on the spot... Even if I was the only one left, I had to deliver the things, but as soon as I stood up, the ground below collapsed again... I rolled off the cliff, thankfully there was a waterhole below, and by the time I woke up, it was already a few days later......"
"The valley was very high and very long and steep, and after going around it for nearly two months I came out of it, and found a village, and upon inquiry, it had strayed far from the original path. Fearing another catastrophe and the fact that I was seriously injured at the time, I took up temporary accommodation in a thatched hut built by the villagers. ”
"Half a year later, the injuries on my body slowly recovered, and I found the original way again, and after inquiring, I found that the Qingfeng Dart Bureau had completely disappeared, and everyone died."
I didn't expect a small bodyguard to lead to such a tragedy.
It's just that why is this box so evil, and then Jiu Bo has been with him for so many years, but nothing happened?
Could it be ...... Su Xin thought about what the other party had just said, could it be because he fell into the deep pool?
Jiu Bo thought about the distant past, and smiled bitterly: "Credibility is our life as a dart master, even if I am the only one left, I have to send things." After a lot of hard work, I finally arrived in Feiyun Prefecture...... However, the city gate is very strictly guarded, and you must have identity documents and silver to pass the customs. I was penniless. As for the identity documents, they have been blistered and lost a long time ago, and they originally wanted to go to the state capital to get a new one, but now they can't even enter the city gate. I said that I was the dart master of the Qingfeng Dart Bureau, and the other party said that the Qingfeng Dart Bureau had long ceased to exist, and that I was an impostor, and beat me out. ”
"So you're here at the end?"
Jiu Bo nodded: "I have traveled to many places, first to make a living, and then to think about applying for my own identity...... After tossing and turning again and again to no avail, I got here about six years ago......"
Su Xin was extremely emotional, it was really a matter of the world.
"I don't know what happened to Feiyun Prefecture over the years, I originally thought that this thing would follow me into the coffin, but I didn't expect you to come. I think you might be able to find a way to do it......"
Su Xin picked up the box, it was the size of a palm, boxy, and the top was very smooth, and there was not the slightest gap in it, even if it was a whole piece of wood, it was not an exaggeration.
She thought for a moment, and probed a wisp of divine sense into it, only to realize that it was pitch black inside, and there was a small round ball in the middle... There is a very heavy yin qi on the ball.
Other than that, there's nothing special about the box.
Su Xin still didn't know why the box brought so many disasters, but it was certain that it was not something that ordinary people used.
She said: "I took this case, I will prepare a little and set off the day after tomorrow." ”
Jiu Bo said: "This box is very evil, but it is the last dart of our Qingfeng Dart Bureau, I don't want the reputation of Qingfeng Dart Bureau to be ruined in my hands." You have to be careful......"
Susin: "I know. ”
After Jiu Bo entrusted the matter, he felt that his back was even more hunched.
This is faithfulness, and it is more important to see faith than one's own life!
