Chapter 44: Letting Ghosts Bite
"Got a car? Soul car? The tall fat man gasped: "Even the soul hooking car has been involved?" ”
"At least half of the people here are in the hands of the Soul Car. "Ω "Literature" Xie Bangui pointed to the corpse on the ground and analyzed: "First, the man in black attacked the lock heart Xiaozhu. They had already gained the upper hand and suppressed Xiao Zhu's people in the house with their crossbows, but the Soul Hook suddenly killed from behind, and the crossbowmen were killed in a very short time. Then drove straight into the house......"
Xie Bangui slowly walked to the house along the traces of the rut: "There was a fierce fight in the main hall of the main building, and the black-clothed man and the lock-hearted Xiaozhu were almost killed and wounded, and even the soul hooking car was severely injured by the black-clothed master. ”
Xie Bangui raised his head and pointed to a corpse that was hanging from the beam of the house and said, "This person should be one of the masters who severely injured the soul car, and the soul car hung him up in order to vent his anger." ”
"Then ......" Xie Bangui suddenly struck out with a claw and shattered the screen facing the gate: "It should be that the soul hook car broke the mechanism in the house and fell into the dark passage in the process of fighting with the master." ”
The tall fat man looked at the dark secret passage and swallowed his saliva: "Brother, you don't want to go in, do you?" What if the Soul Hook Car is inside? ”
"Impossible!" Xie Bangui didn't explain too much, and jumped into the dark passage.
The tunnel, large enough for horse-drawn carriages to pass through, spirals deep into the ground, and although the ground is as smooth as ice, the slope is deliberately slowed down at the turn, like a building deliberately designed to prevent people coming down from crashing into the wall too quickly. Therefore, Xie Bangui slipped to the bottom of the cave without hindrance.
No sooner had he stood on his heels than the tall fat man slipped down the tunnel. Behind him was Zhao Jindao, who didn't know martial arts, and in the end, the three guards of Shuihuo Mu followed and slid down.
The view from the tunnel became narrower, and although the belly of the mountain had been carved into a hall by hand, it was full of mounds of earth and uncut wood, as if someone wanted to build some large building here but for some reason stopped in the middle of the way, and had to abandon the work and evacuate.
The only thing that is still clear is the waterhole at the mouth of the tunnel, and the traces of the last fight between the soul hook car and the person are also near the waterhole.
Xie Bangui circled around the waterhole and said, "Someone here has specially cleaned it, but it was cleaned up in a hurry, and many traces have not been erased. The fight was supposed to be a car, three people, one of whom was a woman. ”
"Three people? That woman should be Mrs. Lockheart. The tall fat man snapped his fingers and said, "There is a master hanging outside, where is the other one?" ”
Xie Bangui pointed to the waterhole and said, "It should be in the water." ”
Zhao Jindao waved his hand and said, "Zhao Miao, you have good water quality, go down and have a look." ”
"Wait, don't rush into the water if the situation is unclear! I'll find a way to see. Zhao Sen took out a few pieces of white paper from the toolbox and made a four-corner Kong Ming lantern from the wood on the ground. After lighting the lamp, he uses a fishing line to control the altitude and fly towards the top of the pool.
I don't know what Zhao Sen used as fuel, only the light from the one-foot-square Kong Ming lantern can illuminate several zhang away, especially the penetration of water, with the eyesight of Xie Bangui and others, they can see the bottom of the pool with the help of the light.
As Kong Ming's lantern moved, a corpse sunk under the water gradually appeared in everyone's sight. Xie Bangui raised his hand and popped out the Soul Claw, grabbed the corpse's ankle, and pulled him ashore little by little.
The deceased's face was downward, and he was carrying a toolbox similar to Zhao Sen behind his back, but the box had already been smashed by the power of the inner palm, and a palm print that was not too big seeped into the body from the corpse's vest, and the entire spine was crushed by this palm, which showed that he was hit by someone in an unguarded situation at that time.
When Xie Bangui turned the corpse over, the first thing he saw was the wooden box with the skull lock in his arms.
The third skeleton is lying on the ground with its limbs propped up, protecting the keyhole in front of its chest, and its spine is just across the keyhole, which can be seen through the ribs.
The tall fat man gasped: "It's another skull lock, how many of this thing are there?" ”
"I don't know." Xie Bangui greeted Zhao Sen and said, "This person should also be a master of organs, can you see his origin?" ”
Zhao Sen rolled up the deceased's sleeve, pointed to the tattoo of the red axe on his left arm and said, "It should be the descendant of the Southern Ghost Axe." As for which generation it is, I don't know. ”
"It doesn't seem to be of much value." Xie Bangui raised his foot and kicked the corpse back into the water again, clamped the skeleton lock with his soul claw and said, "Let's go back, there is nothing of value here." ”
The fat man, who was still a little unwilling, circled around the waterhole twice before he said, "Let's go!" The beauty didn't see it, but looked at a bunch of dead people, which was really unlucky. ”
"Brother Qiu, don't leave like this!" Zhao Jindao was anxious: "There are so many people dead, I have to give an explanation to the above, but I don't know anything about catching ghosts, you see......"
The fat man mysteriously pointed to Xie Bangui's back and whispered, "Follow him, yes." ”
The group was dumbfounded when they walked down the mountain road, and the horses that stopped at the bottom of the mountain were not known to have been kissed by the wolf, and the two horses were torn to pieces, and their bones were scattered everywhere. The other made the hungry wolf take out the internal organs, and the organs were pulled out a few feet away, leaving the ground covered in blood.
"Li Zhuzhu?" The fat man screamed and rushed to the front of the car, but saw that Li Zhuzhi, who was tightly wrapped in a quilt by him, was still in the car. However, his left foot had been bitten off by a hungry wolf, and the part below the ankle was pulled by the tendons on the side of his leg. Fortunately, the weather was too cold, and the wound was frozen in time, so Li Zhuzhu did not die of excessive blood loss, but his face was frighteningly white.
The fat man shouted urgently: "Whoever has water, pour him some soul recovery pill and hang his life first." ”
Zhao Xin took the kettle and poured medicine on Li Zhuzhu, then took out the gold sore medicine to bandage his wounds: "What's wrong with this person?" Still not waking up after such a serious injury? ”
Xie Bangui said vaguely: "I was hooked by the evil ghost, and before the soul was recovered, I couldn't wake up even if I chopped him alive." ”
Zhao Xin glanced at Xie Bangui suspiciously, and didn't ask any more questions, and took care of himself to bandage Li Zhuzhu's wounds.
The tall fat man said with a bitter face: "Brother, the horse is gone, how can we go back with a coffin and an injured number?" ”
Zhao Jindao sighed and said: "I can only walk back, fortunately, you are congenital masters, and one person should not walk slowly." ”
"We take the waterway." Xie Bangui pointed to the big river at the foot of the mountain: "Chop some trees to make a raft, and it won't take much time to go back from the waterway." ”
Zhao Jindao nodded and said, "It's okay to take the waterway." At least it can be faster, and it can buy time for this person to be treated. You guys go logging! ”
Although the five guards had quite objections to Xie Bangui's approach of calling the shots in everything, the young master had no choice but to obey his orders. With Zhao Sen, a carpenter, there was almost no effort to make a raft. By the end of the evening, the group had already driven the raft down the river. At first, it was a smooth ride, but soon the sound of fighting on the shore disrupted the rhythm of the raft.
The tall fat man instinctively lifted the Sky Shaking Hammer: "Brother, there is someone fighting on the shore?" ”
Xie Bangui sat on the raft as steadily as Mount Tai and said: "Don't worry about him, as long as you don't come to provoke us, it has nothing to do with us if they break the sky." ”
"This ......," the tall fat man was about to say more, but saw several corpses floating down from the upper class.
The tall fat man stretched out his head to take a look, pointed to the corpse and shouted, "Brother, are those who attacked the lock cylinder Xiaozhu?" "The deceased was dressed exactly like the man in black in the lockheart, the only difference was that they wore a red scarf on their left arm.
Xie Bangui still didn't move: "That has nothing to do with us!" ”
Zhao Xin snorted coldly: "It's not a dead person under your rule, of course it has nothing to do with you." Master, why don't we go and have a look. ”
"No!" Zhao Jindao said in an unquestionable tone: "Brother Xie doesn't move, naturally he has his reasons." You just need to take care of the safety of the raft, and don't worry about anything else. ”
"Yes!" Zhao Xin sat down angrily, twisted his head to the side, and deliberately didn't look at Xie Bangui.
At this time, the more intense the fighting sound on the shore, the sharper and more piercing the whistling sound brought by the inner family gangqi, from a distance, the river bank is flying sand and rocks, the dust is bursting, the trees near the fighting ground are broken one after another, from time to time people are planted in the river, fluttering in the water to fight for their lives, more and more corpses floating near the raft, and the flowing river water is dyed red.
The tall fat man counted with his hands and said, "It's already thirty-two, and this is not counting the shore, who is killing on it?" ”
A corpse that floated near the raft suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the edge of the raft, Xie Bangui didn't even look at it, raised his hand and clawed the hand that was buckled on the raft and cut it off at the wrist.
The man in black with his severed hand wanted to shout, but he was poured cold water into his mouth and sank with a string of blood bubbles.
Zhao Xin said angrily: "Why are you so cold-blooded, pull him along, maybe he can live?" ”
Xie Bangui sneered: "Pull it up, and then send it to the law field to cut off your head?" Bring sand to the beach. ”
"You ......" Zhao Xin was so choked by Xie Bangui that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Sen, who was standing on the raft behind, was about to stand up for his brother, when he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and even the raft went into the water together.
"Not good!" Zhao Miao, who stayed on Xie Banghost's side, didn't say a word, turned over and jumped into the water. swam towards Zhao Sen, but fortunately, Zhao Sen fell into the water, and it didn't take long for him to be rescued, and Zhao Miao was rescued by the unconscious Li Zhuzhu.
Zhao Miao dragged Li Zhuzhu and said coldly to Xie Bangui: "This is your own companion, take care of him." ”
Xie Bangui said lightly: "I didn't want you to save him, if you feel that saving people is a loss, you can throw him back again." ”
"You're good!" Zhao Miao's face turned blue with anger: "When the matter is understood, I can't say that I have to learn a thing or two from the honorable driver." ”
"Always with you!" Zhao Miao called the board, and Xie Bangui was not to be outdone.
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that the two of them had a falling out, the tall fat man hurriedly stood up and played a round: "Everyone is a brother and a friend, why make an unpleasant fuss, say less than two words, say two words less." ”
Zhao Miao pointed at Xie Bangui and shouted: "Who is friends with him, if it weren't for the young master's face......"
"Presumptuous!" Zhao Jindao was furious: "What if you don't look at me?" If you go over and fight him now, if you can't beat him to death, don't come back to see me. ”
Zhao Miao saw that the young master was angry, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he sat back on the raft with a snort, his eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction.
Zhao Jindao arched his hand and said: "The golden knife is not strict, which makes Brother Xie smile." ”
"It's okay!" Xie Bangui didn't even want to say more kind words, so he casually agreed and sat back on the raft. Xie Bangui's attitude was even more angry that the five guards itched their teeth, and secretly made up their minds to teach Xie Bangui a lesson.
