Chapter 571: Dried Corpses
Juefa sneered: "When did the Nameless Sect become timid? The white-clothed elder is not cold, but you are ......"
Ren Tianqing didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before he interrupted sharply: "You dare to slander the Nameless Sect?"
"I ......" Juefa was about to sneer at each other, but was forcibly interrupted by Bai Yan: "Enough, Wang Huan can't move anyone now." People who don't want him to die, you Mingxin Sect can't afford to provoke him. β
Juefa sneered: "I really want to know, who is the great Bodhisattva that we can't afford to provoke in the Mingxin Sect?"
Bai Yan didn't know what he had done, and Juefa soon stopped talking.
After a long time, Ren Tianqing broke the silence: "Senior Brother Bai, you say, why did Wang Huan and them suddenly appear in the house in Tianshakou?"
Bai Yan said in a deep voice: "This is also what I don't understand, we have arranged four secret sentinels from the entrance, with Wang Huan's skills, it is impossible to bypass all the secret sentinels and quietly enter Tianshakou." Besides......"
Bai Yan paused slightly: "Since Wang Huan will come back silently, why would he show up with great fanfare? This is not in line with common sense!"
Juefa sneered: "Why else? They are demonstrating, provoking, and telling us that they have the ability and do not need to be afraid to probe the hands of God!"
Yin Qingquan also agreed: "Wang Huan is used to being arrogant and domineering by relying on his official status, his sudden appearance is definitely a provocation, even if we don't clash with Wang Huan head-on, we have to give him some color, lest the other party be too arrogant." β
Of the four leaders of the Detective Hands, two of them were against us, and it didn't surprise me. What surprised me was that Bai Yan objected: "Wang Huan is not so boring! He is not good at provocation, only good at attacking." β
Bai Yan diverted the topic without waiting for anyone to object: "What happened to the three captives we caught?"
Yin Qingquan said: "There has been a result just now, if Wang Huan hadn't bothered him, the brother in charge of the interrogation should have come over to report." Do you want to let him in?"
"Come in!" Not long after Bai Yan's voice fell, a fifth person's voice sounded in the room: "Commander, those three...... Those three are all dried corpses!"
"What did you say?" Yin Qingquan said angrily: "You drank too much and talked nonsense, right?"
The man said in a trembling voice: "At first, we didn't find anything abnormal, and we didn't find out until we wanted to torture it...... Only to find out that they were all dried corpses from the neck down. β
The man was afraid that Yin Qingquan would not believe it, so he hurriedly added: "Commander Yin, if you don't believe it, I will immediately bring the corpses in, and the three corpses are at the door!"
"Bring it in!" Not long after Yin Qingquan's voice fell, I heard someone scream: "Where are the corpses? Where are they? What are you two eating? The three corpses are right under your nose, and you can lose them?"
"You ......"
I had just heard a loud noise in the courtyard, followed by the sound of someone breaking through the window, and the sound of a fight mingling. A shrill whistle ensued.
I was about to pull back and retreat, but suddenly I heard the sound of a sharp blade piercing through the soil layer from the wall, I subconsciously turned my head slightly, and a snowy narrow blade long knife broke through the wall from my side, and the blade with friction and residual warmth instantly penetrated my sleeve, and then pulled back against my arm. The moment the blade retracted into the wall, I pulled Magnum out and pulled the trigger against the wall. As the gun shot through the wall, I pulled out of the way.
At the moment when my gun rang out, more than a dozen detectives also surrounded me from all directions.
I took advantage of the fact that the other party had not closed the formation, and jumped into the nearby courtyard with my hand on the wall, and the door of the house facing the courtyard wall suddenly opened from the inside out, and I instinctively fell sideways and rolled out three meters away on the spot.
The moment I stood up, the gate of the courtyard was also kicked open, and when the two detectives rushed in one after the other, the lights in the house suddenly skyrocketed a few feet, and the two looked up at the door as if driven by some force.
The two people didn't know what they saw, they threw away their weapons in the same exclamation, turned around and ran out, just in time to collide with their companions behind, when four or five people pretended to be a ball at the door, a large number of people and horses also gathered around the main gate of the courtyard, I immediately bypassed the main entrance of the house, climbed out of the courtyard from the back wall, and circled around the town a few times before rushing back to the house.
Before I could sit down, I heard Juefa shouting outside the door: "Wang Huan, get out and see me......!"
I didn't even think about raising my hand and shooting out, the moment Magnum's bullet penetrated the door, I fired three shots in a row in the direction of the movement of the voices outside, and after the three bullets penetrated the wall again and again, the silver-white moonlight was also thrown into the room from the wall that Magnum had pierced, and I also saw the shaking figure outside through a loess wall.
I gently tapped the table with a gun and said, "Juefa, why are you kicking your nose in the face with Lao Tzu?"
"I'm ......" Juefa was just about to speak, when a long howl suddenly came from the center of the town, Juefa stomped his foot fiercely, and immediately flew away in the direction where the whistling sound came from, and the detective hands surrounding outside were completely gone in a short moment.
"The Divine Explorer has been attacked!" Ye Xun looked into the distance through the window: "Everyone is gathering over there." β
I was just about to speak, but Tao Xiyu suddenly made a silent gesture to me and pointed to the ground again. I found out that Tao Xiyu was stepping on the ground with one bare foot, and when I looked at each other inexplicably, Tao Xiyu pressed his hand on the table and wrote two words: Someone!
Tao Xiyu means: there are people hidden underground.
I compared it with my hand and asked her, "Where are people?"
Tao Xiyu stretched out his finger and pointed to the table, and then compared it to the ground. She's telling me that the man is hiding under the table.
I stood up upside down next to the table in the aisle, put Magnum upside down with the muzzle of my gun, and suddenly pulled the trigger on the table, and the wooden table, which had fallen into disrepair for a long time, was suddenly torn apart under Magnum's bombardment, and the furious bullet still went castrate into the ground.
What I didn't expect was that there was a sound of a metal quilt * bullet breaking from the ground, Ye Xun and I glanced at each other, and at the same time took out the sapper shovel and dug a few times on the ground, and a piece of broken copper was soon revealed underneath.
Tao Xiyu's face couldn't help but turn pale: "I ...... just now I clearly felt someone down there just now!"
The fox mother told me before that the empty door master has a skill, that is, when he steps on the ground with his bare feet, he can feel whether there is a mechanism nearby with the vibration frequency of the ground, and Tao Xiyu will not take off a shoe if he does not feel the ground tremble. But there was only one brass statue underneath the ground.
I stood up and hesitated for a while before shouting, "Bai Yan, I want to talk to you!"
"Tomorrow morning, meet at that table at the entrance of the town!" Bai Yan replied to me after only two breaths.
Only then did I sit down again and said, "Ye Xun, you haven't told me yet, what is in Tiansha's mouth?"
Ye Xun looked at me and said, "My master said that there are corpses of gods and demons buried in the mouth of Tiansha!"
My eyes shrank suddenly, "Are you sure you're right?"
Ye Xun nodded and said, "I also asked my master this at the beginning. He said: The stars in the sky are gods and demons, and the stars fall and turn into yellow sand in order to bury the bones of gods and demons. There are either gods buried under Tianshakou, or there are demon stars buried. β
I was silent for a moment before hesitating and asked, "Then your master didn't say it, how could he know the secret under Tianshakou?"
"Didn't say it!" Ye Xun shook his head and said, "He didn't even want to mention the matter of Tianshakou, he just said nothing after a few perfunctory sentences!"
"That's ...... Let's rest first! There are still three or four hours before dawn. At dawn, we'll go and visit God's hand. "For the first time, I felt that Ye Xun was deliberately hiding something from me, and this feeling was very uncomfortable. Although, I knew that Ye Xun would not tell the truth, and there must be his reasons, but I felt that there was a pimple in my heart.
It seems that not only Ye Xun, Fox Mother, Tao Xiyu, they all know more than me, but no one has ever told me the truth.
What's going on?
Could it be that they are working together to hide from me something?
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, we were born and died together, I even told Ye Xun about my father's disappearance, what else does he have to hide from me?
I was thinking about it when there was a sudden tremor on the ground behind me. My first reaction was that the bronze statue was alive, and there was nothing behind me except the brass figure buried in the earth.
When I tried to look back, my body felt like I was in a nightmare, and everything around me was clear, but I couldn't move from head to toe.
In a short moment, I felt the sand on the ground turning outward layer by layer, as if the bronze statue was writhing and pulling itself out of the sand little by little, and the damp grit was rushing behind me in a clump under his push.
In just a few moments, I felt the wet sand pour into my waistβthe sand had piled up behind me and had reached my spine, and the bronze statue that had come out of the ground did not know where it had gone.
I rolled my eyes desperately, and the sole of a foot stained with sand suddenly landed beside me, and that foot was clearly wearing a pair of Persian pointed-toe brocade shoes, peeking out of his upper, but covering the ankle with the sallow skin.
As soon as I saw the scene around me, a thin palm was pressed on the top of my head, and a fishy smell like bacon instantly penetrated my nostrils.
Mummy!
A dried corpse with a golden head!
I just dug out the top of the man's head, and I didn't dig any further, and if I had dug a few more inches, I might have seen a corpse sitting under the yellow sand.
In ancient times, there were countless merchants who traveled to and from the Western Regions, and the customs of burying the dead were not the same, some merchants would let the body return to the earth, and some Hu merchants paid attention to the integrity of the body, once the body was missing, it should be made up, and there was the so-called "golden head" and "golden body", in fact, Hu merchants did not use gold to make up for the corpse, the general use is brass, the beautiful name is "gold head", the most expensive is just a human head cast with silver.
It was that head that I just shot and shattered.
