Chapter 18: Li's Cripple Dies
I hummed and nodded vigorously at him.
It didn't take long for me to see that under the light of the dancing candlelight, two black shadows slowly appeared not far from the Ninth Master.
I couldn't help but gasp when I saw those two black shadows, they looked similar to the two squatting outside Zhang Jun's house, and each had two black iron chains in their hands.
If it hadn't been for the Ninth Master's advice in advance, I might not have pretended to be calm like this.
"Who are you, how can you have this yellow charm?" , one of the dark shadows asked very viciously.
The ninth master turned his back to me, and I couldn't see his expression clearly, but from his tone, I felt very calm.
"Who I am, it depends on the two of you, and you don't deserve to know." , the ninth master was not afraid, and shouted loudly.
Another dark shadow said: "Don't talk nonsense to him, this time I broke the rules, tie it up first!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to start. It seems that they don't seem to take the ninth master in their eyes.
The Ninth Master sneered: "It's up to you, you also want to do it with me?" ”
The two black shadows were obviously angered by the words of the Ninth Master, and without saying a word, they threw out two black iron chains at the Ninth Master.
The Ninth Master didn't squint, he directly reached out and grabbed one of the chains, withdrew towards him, and roared disdainfully: "Look for death!" ”
Before the words fell, I don't know when, there was an extra nail in his hand. The nail was directly inserted into the black shadow that he pulled over, and in an instant, the black image was a deflated ball and wilted.
The other shadow seemed frightened when he saw this, and he turned around and prepared to run away with great speed.
"If you want to go, how can it be so easy!" , The Ninth Master suddenly flashed, bullied forward, and quickly blocked in front of the black shadow.
The black shadow probably knew that he was not the opponent of the Ninth Master, so he quickly knelt on the ground and begged the Ninth Master to let him go.
Everything in front of me happened so fast that I was so frightened that I almost didn't react for a long time.
The Ninth Master said, "It's okay to let you go, but you have to tell me something!" ”
The black shadow was stunned for a moment, and after a pause, he asked in a strange voice: "Well, what's the matter, you say!" ”
"Just a few days ago, two people died in Baofeng Temple Village, one named Li Er and the other named Zhang Hu. Have you taken their souls away? ", the ninth master asked coldly.
After hesitating for a moment, the black shadow looked innocent and said, "There have been no dead people in Baofeng Temple Village recently, and the two of us have not taken anyone's soul with us. ”
The Ninth Master grabbed the black shadow with his left hand, held the nail-like thing in his right hand, made a motion to pierce it, and said in his mouth: "Are you sure that no one has died in Baofeng Temple?" ”
The black shadow was obviously frightened enough by the actions of the ninth master, and I saw that he hurriedly raised his hands, as if he wanted to block the "nail" in the ninth master's hand.
"I'm sure, not to mention today, there hasn't been a death in the past month! If someone dies, the soul will be taken away as soon as possible. The voice of the dark shadow sounded almost desperate.
Jiu Ye put away the "nail" in his hand and let go of the black shadow, the black shadow kowtowed twice, dragged his companion's body, and soon disappeared in front of him.
I still looked stupidly, and the situation just now really shocked me enough.
From daytime to now, in less than a full day, I have met the dark shadow twice. However, during the day, the lame man smeared something on my eyes, and I saw a black shadow; And now, the Ninth Master didn't let me do anything, and I saw them.
Compared with the actions of Li Cripple and Jiu Ye when he saw the black shadow, the two of them made a judgment.
"Wu Thirteen, you can hear me clearly what I asked just now." The Ninth Master said.
I was so shocked that my tongue fought, and I forgot to speak for a while, so I just nodded vigorously to the ninth master.
I heard what the black shadow said just now, and there were no dead people in Baofeng Temple recently, which means that my grandfather is not dead.
"At least I know that grandpa is still alive!" I calmed myself down and said with a sense of relief.
Jiu Ye said with a straight face: "There has never been a death in the village, but this is the problem!" ”
The hope that had ignited in my heart was instantly extinguished by his words.
The ninth master said: "Your grandfather's three souls and six spirits can't be found, and his body doesn't know where to go, so it can be tentatively assumed that this is because someone assassinated you and your grandfather." ”
"However, I already knew that Li Er and Zhang Hu would die, but their souls did not go down, which was beyond my expectations."
The Ninth Master looked at me thoughtfully, and saw that my back was cold.
Then he smiled weirdly and said to me, "Let's go, follow me to another place!" ”
I couldn't help but be secretly taken aback, it was almost one o'clock in the night, and where else was I going.
I haven't even come to my senses after the scene I just saw, I just beg the ninth master not to come out with some weird things to make me scared.
But then we went to the place, but I didn't think about it at all.
We left the Sanwang Temple and went directly back to the village to the house of the lame man.
When I arrived at Li's house, I was about to knock on the door, but found that his door was not locked.
I can't help but wonder: Could it be that Uncle Li, this old man, forgot to close the door when he slept tonight.
Even though the door wasn't closed, I knocked on his door. However, I knocked for a while, but there was no answer inside.
The Ninth Master suddenly said in a strange tone: "Don't knock on the door, Li Cripple won't open the door for you." He's dead! ”
Hearing that the ninth master said that Li Cripple was dead, I didn't care too much, and hurriedly pushed open the door of his house.
I was familiar with finding the light switch in his house and turning it on.
I found Li Cripple, huddled face down in the room where he usually drew and wrote words, and one of his fingers was bitten by something.
I probed his snort and found that he was dead.
Although he was curled up, I noticed that on the ground below his neck, there was a word that was still the last stroke, and the stroke was complete, but that stroke did not prevent me from reading the word: "willow"
This willow character suddenly gave me a bad premonition in my heart, and I didn't want to think in that direction.
When the ninth master saw that word, his expression also changed slightly. His reaction was inadvertently seen by me.
From the moment when he was outside the door, the ninth master said that Li Cripple was dead, to the time he found out that Li Cripple was really dead, he didn't seem to have much fluctuation, but when he saw the word "Liu", his expression changed.
"Wu Thirteen, Li Cripple touched the things in that coffin before he died!" , the ninth master suddenly asked.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, the things inside the coffin, Li Cripple had only touched the five lamps, and nothing else, of course, except for the five lamps, there was nothing else.
But I haven't told the ninth master that the five lamps are here with Li Cripple, and he actually knows that Li Cripple has touched the things inside.
I nodded, and Du Jiuye said, "The five lamps in the coffin were quietly taken from someone else's hands. He said he wanted to study first, so he stayed with him. ”
The Ninth Master said, "That's right! ”
I couldn't help but wonder: "Ninth Master, how did my Uncle Li die?" ”
The Ninth Master didn't answer my words, but asked me to hurry up and see if the five lights were in the house.
I stood up, tiptoed around, and searched around the house.
Li lame died at home, and I don't know if the people in the village will call the police. If someone calls the police, the police will definitely come to the scene to investigate.
So, I can't rummage around the house at will, and I can't touch anything in the house so as not to leave anything behind.
However, I suddenly had an idea in my heart that even if I wanted to call the police, it would be most appropriate for me to report it.
If someone else called the police, it would not be so easy to explain if there were some clues left by me and Jiu Ye in the house.
After all, Li Er's death, my grandfather and I are still treated as suspects.
It is indeed difficult to explain that the suspicion has not been completely cleared over there, and a new situation has appeared here.
After looking around the house, there was no trace of the five lights.
The ninth master said: "Thirteen, don't look for it, those five lamps should have been taken away." I just wanted you to make sure, let's get out of here first! ”
Hearing the Ninth Master say this, one person first popped up in my mind, and that was Wang Dacai.
But if Wang Dacai wants to take these five lamps, he doesn't have to hurt the killer, and there is no trace of a fight in Li Lame's house.
We hurriedly left Li Cripple's house, and on the way back, the Ninth Master said to himself: "Wu Thirteen, I see that you have a bitter face, do you have a question in your heart, why did Li Cripple write a willow character." ”
The Ninth Master suddenly asked me this, which surprised me.
I nodded and said, "Ninth Master, except for Liu Ruoxue, there is no second person surnamed Liu in our village!" ”
