The poisoned silver needle was moving at an extremely fast speed. Just when it was about to hit Zhang Qihai, Zhang Qihai tilted his head slightly, raised a piece of cake in his hand, and directly took the poisoned silver needle.
Er Yuehong on the stage paused for a moment and continued the play.
Zhang Qishan in the audience was also shocked that his younger brother had such ability. Then he was furious. He and his younger brother had finally recognized each other, but someone actually dared to attack his younger brother!
The Buddha stared at Jinqianbao and the others who had already walked out of the theater, and said as if he was looking at a group of dead people: "Adjutant, go and make arrangements. Let these people from the northwest stay in the Xiangjiang River forever."
"Yes, Master Buddha!" Zhang Rishan naturally understood Master Buddha's thoughts.
The dragon has a reverse scale, and if you touch it, you will die! This little Buddha is the reverse scale in the Buddha's heart.
You should know that in the more than ten years since Zhang Qihai disappeared, Zhang Qishan has sent many people to look for him.
Even after the Nine Gates were established, the entire force of the Nine Gates was mobilized to search for Zhang Qihai's whereabouts.
It can be seen how much Master Fo values his younger brother. Now that he has finally returned, he naturally wants to protect Zhang Qihai from harm.
However, this group of Northwestern guests unexpectedly touched Master Buddha's bottom line, which Master Zhang, who was obsessed with his younger brother, would never tolerate. At this point, Master Buddha had already decided to kill them.
No matter what the background of these Northwestern visitors is, they are doomed to die. There will be several more corpses floating on the Xiangjiang River tomorrow.
After arranging the fate of these northwestern people, Er Yuehong finished singing the play. The guests also left one after another. Er Yuehong hurriedly took off her stage makeup and came to the private seats where the guests were.
"Master Fo, Master Qi, you two are rare guests! I can't invite you two on normal days, so how come you have time to come to my theater today? Who is this little brother? Thank you very much for what you did just now! If it weren't for you, my performance of Farewell My Concubine would have been ruined by this group of people!" Er Yuehong first teased Master Fo and Master Qi, and then expressed his gratitude to Zhang Qihai.
At this time, Master Qi Ba jumped out immediately and said, "Second Master, you and Master Fo are brothers who have been through life and death together. Why don't you guess the identity of this little brother!"
"Oh! If I'm not mistaken, this little brother is the younger brother that Master Buddha has been looking for! After all, given Master Buddha's temperament, he usually won't bring anyone to the opera house unless he is very close to him. There should be no one else who meets the above conditions at this age except Master Buddha's younger brother!"
"As expected, you are the Second Master. That's right, I'm Zhang Qihai. I heard that the Second Master and my eldest brother are close friends, so I followed my eldest brother and took the liberty to come and visit!" Zhang Qihai said with a smile.
"Visit me? You must be joking, little Master Fo. I have known Master Fo for so many years, but he never comes to visit me without a reason. He must have something to ask me today since he came to the Pear Garden." Er Yuehong said with a smile.
"Second Master, what you said has made me stop going to the opera house to watch operas on weekdays!" Being exposed by Er Yuehong, Zhang Dafoye looked a little embarrassed.
"Oh, really? Why do I remember that the last time Mr. Buddha came to my theater to watch a play was half a year ago?" Er Yuehong said lightly with a smile on his face.
"Ahem, let's not talk about these things for now! I came here this time to ask you a question." Buddha avoided this embarrassing topic and asked randomly: "Second Master, you should have heard that there was an unregistered train entering Changsha Station last night, right?"
"I've heard a little about it." Er Yuehong replied.
The incident of the ghost train had already caused a lot of controversy in Changsha City. It would be strange if Er Yuehong didn't know about it.
"That's exactly why I came here this time!"
Chapter 9 It’s hard to choose
"That's exactly what I came here for!"
"Want to hear the details!"
"This train is full of coffins and the bodies of Japanese people." The Buddha continued.
"This matter is actually related to the Japs? Interesting! It is related to the Japanese. Shouldn't you, Master Buddha, investigate this matter now?" Er Yuehong asked curiously.
As the brother of Master Fo, Er Yuehong knew clearly that Master Fo attached great importance to the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Changsha City. Now that this matter was related to the Japanese devils, there must be something unusual. Given Master Fo's temper, he would get to the bottom of it.
"The reason I came to you is because the things in this train may be related to your family!"
"We have nine sects in Changsha, each with its own responsibilities. Your family mainly studies the tombs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. We found a whistle coffin in the train carriage. After I opened the coffin with the secret method inherited from my Zhang family, I found this thimble." The Buddha said lightly, and then he took out the thimble that he had taken out of the whistle coffin.
Er Yuehong, whose expression was originally calm, suddenly showed some changes when he saw the thimble. It was obvious that he recognized the thimble.
After calming down his inner fluctuations, Er Yuehong said with a sullen face: "Master Buddha, please don't embarrass me! You know me well. I haven't touched the things under the ground for a long time. I just want to spend the rest of my life with the girl."
Seeing Er Yuehong refuse, Master Fo said solemnly: "Second Master, you also know my rules! This matter is very serious! If it is not related to the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Changsha City, I would not come to you! What's more, do you really think that we, the people of the Nine Gates, can escape our fate? Since we were born, we can't avoid dealing with things underground!"
The meaning behind his words was obvious, he wanted Er Yuehong to help.
"I'm sorry, Master Buddha. I've sworn a long time ago that I will never touch anything under the ground again. I'm sorry I can't promise you this. If you have nothing else, please go back! I want to go back too." Er Yuehong asked someone to see the guest off, and the meaning was very clear.
Seeing this, the Buddha was about to continue speaking, but Zhang Qihai interrupted him: "Wait a minute, Second Master. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you don't want to touch the things under the ground is probably related to your wife's illness, right? Excuse me, given the lady's physical condition, even if you don't touch the things under the ground, I'm afraid she won't live for more than a year!"
After hearing Zhang Qihai tell her about the girl's illness, Er Yuehong's face changed drastically and she looked at Zhang Qihai with vigilance.
You know, he kept the girl's condition strictly confidential. Apart from entrusting Master Jie Jiu to help find a doctor, he did not tell anyone. Even Master Fo, who was his brother in life and death, did not know. So how did this little Master Fo know about it? Could it be that this little Master Fo was related to the girl's condition?
"How did Master Buddha know about the girl's illness? Does this matter have anything to do with you?" Thinking of this, Er Yuehong said with a bad face, exuding murderous aura.
"Er Yuehong, what are you doing!" Seeing this, Master Fo protected Zhang Qihai behind him like an old hen protecting her cubs.
"Master Buddha, Second Master, we are all from the Nine Sects, please don't hurt the harmony." Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. Master Qi Ba quickly jumped out to act as a peacemaker.
Just as the two were about to fight, Zhang Qihai, who had been silent, spoke again: "Second Master, this matter naturally has nothing to do with me. As for how I know your wife's illness, it doesn't seem to be very important. The important thing is that I know what disease your wife has, and I can save her!"
"What? You can save the girl? Little Master Fo, don't lie to me!" Er Yuehong said excitedly.
You have to know that in the past few years, Er Yuehong has spent a lot of time and energy on the treatment of Yatou's illness and visited famous doctors everywhere, but no doctor could tell what Yatou's illness was. They could only prescribe the right medicine according to her condition to prolong her life.
In order to accompany the girl through her last days, Er Yuehong retired from the world and never touched anything in the underworld again.
Who would have thought that when you seem to have reached the end of your rope, there is always a way out. Little Buddha actually said that he could save the girl. How could he not be excited?
"Second Master, my eldest brother and I are close friends, and you can be considered my brother. I certainly won't lie to you. Your wife's condition is just caused by the evil spirit entering her body. It just so happens that I know a little bit of medical skills, so it will be easy to cure this disease, as long as you agree to my eldest brother's request." Zhang Qihai said with a smile.
"Master Xiao Fo, as long as you can save my girl, I will not only help you investigate the case, but I will also go through fire and water for you!" Er Yuehong said excitedly after getting Zhang Qihai's affirmative answer.
I have to say that Er Yuehong is truly a lovesick man.
Born into a family of tomb robbers, he was willing to give up robbing tombs for the sake of the little girl and become an actor. He was even willing to die to save the little girl.
This kind of true love is very rare in this world!
Even Zhang Qihai was somewhat moved at this time. He looked at Er Yuehong and said, "Second Master, don't worry. In this world of medical skills, if I dare to claim to be second, no one dares to claim to be first!"
Zhang Qihai's words were very arrogant, but with the systematic inheritance of the Guigu Shenzhen medical skills, he did have the ability to be arrogant.
"When is Little Buddha free? Come with me back to diagnose the patient!" Er Yuehong said urgently.
"Let's go now!" Zhang Qihai replied.
"Okay!" Er Yuehong said without hesitation, and then pulled Zhang Qihai out.
Seeing this, Master Fo and Master Ba could only follow behind and go to see what was going on.
At this time, Adjutant Zhang came over and reported: "Master Buddha, those people have been dealt with. In addition, there seems to be new news from the station. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Zhang Qishan looked a little hesitant. On one side was official business, and on the other was his own younger brother. It was difficult for the master to choose between the two.
While he was making a choice, Zhang Qihai spoke first, "Brother, go and do your business first. You have just seen my strength. Besides, I have the Second Master by my side. No one can do anything to me."
"Okay, then I'll go take care of business first, and I'll go over when I have time." After a little thought, Master Buddha nodded and said, "Second Master, please take care of Qi Hai."
"Master Buddha, don't worry. Even if something happens to me, Qihai will be fine!" Er Yuehong said solemnly.
You have to know that this second master has always liked quietness and doesn't like to cause trouble. If it were someone else, Er Yuehong would naturally not bother to pay attention to him, but Zhang Qihai is an exception.
Putting aside the life-and-death relationship between himself and Master Buddha, just because Zhang Qihai was able to save the girl, he would do his best to protect Zhang Qihai.
After getting Er Yuehong's guarantee, Master Fo took Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui and left in the military jeep they came in.
Er Yuehong also took Zhang Qihai to his car, left the theater, and drove towards the Hong Mansion.
Chapter 10: Evil Enters the Body
The theater was not too far from the Hong Mansion, and Er Yuehong's car quickly drove back to the Hong Mansion.
Er Yuehong was the first to open the car door and get out. She quickly walked to Zhang Qihai's car door, respectfully opened the door for him and said, "Little Buddha, this is my humble home. My girl is at home. Come in!"
"Okay!" Zhang Qihai nodded in response, got out of the back seat, and followed Er Yuehong into the Hong Mansion.
Along the way, the servants of the Hong Mansion were all very shocked.
My second master is a proud man. His skills are among the best in the entire Nine Gates. As for his ability to divide gold and locate burial sites, it goes without saying that even the city defense officer Zhang Dafo is inferior to him.
However, today he was so polite to a young man and was respectful all the way. How could these servants not be shocked and wondered who this young man was.
Er Yuehong had no intention of explaining and told him that saving the girl was the most important thing at this moment.
As long as the girl's illness can be cured, he would be willing to die and would not care about all these formalities.
He took Zhang Qihai and walked quickly through the Hong Mansion. After passing through a long corridor, they came to a garden in the mansion.
In the garden, a woman was watering the flowers with a kettle in her hand. From time to time, she would cough violently, which was heartbreaking to hear.
As soon as he arrived at the garden, Er Yuehong's attention was completely focused on the woman. When he saw the woman coughing violently, he no longer cared about Zhang Qihai and hurried forward.
"Girl, didn't I tell you not to come out? Leave things like watering the flowers to the servants, and you just need to rest and recuperate in your room. What if you catch a cold again?" Er Yuehong reproached, but her face was full of concern.
Er Yuehong's words were full of anxiety, but it was not her fault.
The girl's body was too weak, and Er Yuehong couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Second Master, I'm fine. It's just that it's uncomfortable to lie in the house for too long. You can come out for a walk while watering the flowers." The maid comforted him, signaling Er Yuehong not to worry. However, the paleness of her face showed that her physical condition was not optimistic.
Er Yuehong was speechless when he heard this. If it were someone else, he would have argued with reason, but in front of his own wife, Er Yuehong was speechless.
"By the way, Second Master, who is this young man? He looks familiar to me."
Seeing that Er Yuehong didn't say anything, the girl asked with a puzzled tone. Ever since she fell ill, the Second Master no longer brought anyone home. Even a close brother like Master Fo would only visit once in a while. But now, the Second Master brought someone home, and it was a handsome young talent. That was why the girl was so curious.
"I'm sorry, Little Master Buddha. I was so worried about you that I forgot to introduce you to you." Er Yuehong bowed to Zhang Qihai and apologized, then introduced him, "Girl, this is the younger brother that Master Buddha has been looking for for many years, Zhang Qihai! I brought him here to treat you!"
"So you are the younger brother of Master Zhang Dafo. Nice to meet you... cough cough." While speaking, the girl started coughing violently again, and she became even weaker.
"It's windy outside, let's go inside to talk. Please ask the servants to bring in a pair of silver needles and some alcohol!" Zhang Qihai said upon seeing this.
"no problem!"
Hearing this, Er Yuehong hurriedly ordered the servant beside him to prepare the needles and alcohol that Zhang Qihai needed, and then he and Zhang Qihai supported the weak girl and walked into the house.
The servant also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately ran down to prepare.
Inside the room, Zhang Qihai was taking the girl's pulse.
Er Yuehong was walking back and forth, coming forward from time to time to ask: "Little Buddha, how is it? Can my girl's illness be cured?"
Zhang Qihai felt the pulse again, frowned and said, "Second Master, I thought your wife's illness was just an ordinary Yin Qi body, but I didn't expect it to be more difficult than I thought."
"What do you mean? Little Buddha, could it be that my wife's illness is not just caused by the Yin energy entering her body? Can it be cured?" Er Yuehong asked anxiously, fearing that Zhang Qihai would say that there is no cure.
"Second Master, you also know that people in our line of work walk underground all year round, so it is inevitable that the Yin Qi on our bodies is relatively heavy. Your wife is relatively weak, and living together for many years will naturally be contaminated with some Yin Qi, causing the Yin evil to enter the body. It is normal for her to be harassed by the Yin Qi, but when I took your wife's pulse just now, I found that there is a corpse poison running through her body. The Yin Qi plus the corpse poison is like a death warrant. Of course, it is more difficult to treat! The most important thing is to find the source of the corpse Qi!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Qihai said with a serious face.
