By the time he said this, Zhuangzi had already walked in that direction.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu hurriedly followed.

Before he got closer, he heard a guard grit his teeth and say, "This, what's going on?" ”

Even in this night, he couldn't see people's expressions clearly, and Gu Jiu could also hear the fear hidden in his words.

Yes, fear.

For so many years, they have faced the most vicious bandits, but they can deal with people, how have they ever seen such a strange thing?

Seeing this scene now, one or two of them are a little hairy.

And as his voice fell, he heard another guard say: "Let's call Mr. Zhuang to come over and have a look, maybe it's because of the medicine?" ”

They didn't know how the medicine would react, but at this time, they desperately hoped that this was not some supernatural event.

After all...... The barren mountains and mountains are the old men, and they will be afraid!

The next moment, I heard Zhuangziqi's voice sound: "Don't worry, it's medicine." ”

However, when he suddenly spoke, the people were taken aback.

Seeing that these people almost jumped up, their faces were like vegetables, Zhuang Ziqi couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Why, you guys look at the men who are also seven feet tall, and they are so timid one by one?" It's not as good as a scholar. ”

And this scholar who was praised by him by name did not change his face at this time, but only Bai Wuyuan himself knew that his heartbeat was much faster than usual.

However, because of his very good concentration, he looked as usual.

For example, at this time, he could still speak to Zhuangzi very modestly: "Sir, dare to ask what is the reason for this?" ”

Hearing his voice freely, those guards were a little admired Bai Wuyuan.

I have to say that with a determination alone, they are ashamed of themselves.

When they thought of this, they heard Zhuangzi frowning and said: "The body of the seed is poisonous, and the medicine I prepare is also poisonous. ”

As soon as he said this, the guards were suddenly slightly stunned, and then asked tentatively, "Poisonous?" Then we'll be fine, right? ”

The few people who came with me tonight are all guards borrowed by Qin Zheng from the station, and there is no problem with running errands in ordinary times, but they are not as brave as the people of Dali Temple.

Hearing this, Zhuangzi Qi explained: "Don't worry, if you don't have the infertile poison in your body, you will naturally be fine." Besides, the medicinal powder prepared by the old man can also prevent you from being infected with this poison. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuangzi wanted to praise Gu Jiu's foresight.

This little girl was in a hurry to go out at that time, but she remembered to bring all the pills he prepared for her.

And there is an antidote pill in it, which can just detoxify the infernal poison.

Although Gu Jiu didn't know it at that time, her first reaction was to believe him and take the pill directly, which also led to her coming into contact with so many patients later, but she was unscathed.

However, in view of the smug appearance of this little girl, Zhuangzi decided to put away this praise for the time being.

Anyway, it's his apprentice, and I believe that he should be!

Zhuangzi coughed, and said again: "Okay, let's start digging." ”

After winning the Zhuangzi period, a few people did not hesitate, and immediately followed his command and began to dig down carefully along the blue fire of a piece of land.

Zhuangzi Qi motioned for Gu Jiu to go farther, and when he saw that Bai Wuyuan was still standing in place, he thought about it, whether he understood that the other party was a literati, so he beckoned: "Lord Bai, you can come over too." ”

Bai Wuyuan thought that he was going to say something to him, so he walked over quickly and said respectfully, "Sir, please advise." ”

Seeing him like this, Zhuang Ziqi smiled, waved his hand and said: "What to teach, the appearance that will be dug up later will probably be a little miserable, I will let you stay away." ”

Bai Wuyuan didn't expect him to say this to himself, and at the same time, he was surprised, but his heart was a little warm.

At his age, and he grew up in the dark, the kindness given by others is purposeful. I don't want to, but now when his heart is cold, he can still receive subtle care.

Some people will worry about him, so they tell him to leave.

Bai Wuyuan sighed a little in his heart, took a deep breath, and asked again, "How did Mr. know that it would be miserable?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I suddenly saw Zhuangzi looking at him with a little sympathy: "What do you say? ”

I'm afraid this kid is stupid, right? What happens if a corpse is left on the ground and will rot if it is buried in the ground?

It's not going to be all right after all.

So, not miserable, what is it?

At that moment, Zhuangzi didn't say it explicitly, and Bai Wuyuan also felt his straightforward emotions from his eyes.

It's as if I'm saying I'm mentally retarded.

He smiled helplessly, but quickly figured out the other party's unfinished words, pinched his eyebrows and said, "It's me who is confused." ”

Why did you forget about it?

Zhuangzi glanced at him, and said in his heart that he was not too stupid.

He remembered one more thing, glanced back at Gu Jiu, and asked her to go and bring the medicinal powder over there for him—he was in a hurry at that time, and the medicinal powder was still in place.

After Gu Jiu answered, Zhuangzi lowered his voice and said: "Later, let people go to that thatched house, there is a corpse in it, non-toxic, injured, I think it is a disaster victim here." ”

In the years of famine, he died in this, and since he saw it, he naturally wanted to take it back.

Even if he dies, he must be buried in the ground.

Hearing this, Bai Wuyuan glanced at him in surprise, and after seeing the compassion on Zhuangzi Qi's face, he instantly understood.

He replied, "Don't worry, sir, I'll let people do it later." ”

Speaking of this, Bai Wuyuan remembered one more thing, because he added another sentence: "Let's forget it tonight, tomorrow, the junior will count the manpower and take someone to check this place, but if there are any bones that have not been collected, they will be collected back." The victims are also the people of Xichu, so at least they have to be able to see under the nine springs. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhuangzi looked at him with a little more appreciation.

He nodded and said, "What you said is extremely true, Fang is my negligence." ”

As the two of them spoke, they saw Gu Jiu coming over with a medicine bag, Zhuang Ziqi suddenly stopped the topic, went to take the medicine bag in Gu Jiu's hand, and said, "You go and sit aside and rest for a while, you won't be needed here for the time being." ”

In fact, she didn't let Gu Jiu do anything tonight, she was a little embarrassed for a while, because she said: "Master, I'm not tired, but you, this leg doesn't hurt, you can sit down and rest first." ”

Zhuangzi's leg was a problem in the early years, and I heard Lin An say that every time he came to the rainy season, he was in pain.

Normally, when you are tired during the day, you must not sleep well at night.

In the past few days, Zhuangzi has been rushing day and night, and he has not been well rested, but now he is crossing the mountains and mountains with them late at night, and his face is as usual at this time, Gu Jiu also noticed that Zhuangzi Qi's legs were trembling unconsciously.

It hurts.

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Zhuangzi Qi waved his hand and smiled, and said, "It's okay." ”

However, he couldn't resist Gu Jiu in the end, and was pressed by the other party to sit on the mound on the side, frowning and saying, "You sit down." ”

is obviously a little girl, but when she disciplines him, she is very imposing.

Zhuangzi glanced at her, snorted, and said lightly: "You little girl, you are getting more and more like Qin Zheng, and you are really husband and wife." ”

This momentum is the same as Qin Zheng.

As soon as he said this, Gu Jiu suddenly felt a little arrogant, sighed and said, "Master, can't you say something nice with your mouth?" ”

You have to make fun of her, it's fun!

As soon as she finished saying this, she heard Bai Wuyuan also smile and said, "Lord Qin and Mrs. Qin are in love, and it is natural that they should be similar." ”

It is said that this person has a husband and wife, but Bai Wuyuan hadn't paid attention to it at the beginning. But along the way, they came to Henan together, and after getting along for a long time, he found that this Gu Jiu and Qin Zheng did have many similarities.

Now that I think about it, isn't it just husband and wife?

Hearing this, Gu Jiu's face became a little redder. She coughed, changed the subject and asked, "How long do they have to plan?" ”

One or two came to tease her, Gu Jiuhui was not, and it was not if she didn't return. But at this time, she missed Qin Zheng more and more.

If he was there, he would definitely go back for himself!

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At this moment, I heard someone shouting, "Old man, we see the hand!" ”

That's really a hand.

However, it is indeed one.

Because it broke.

On this midsummer day, if you throw a piece of meat into the soil, you will have to rot at this time, not to mention that this is a corpse.

And it is still a corpse that began to decompose before his death.

Dozens of days of hard work were enough to make this corpse rotten and inhuman, and when it was dug out of the soil, in addition to the stench, it was even more terrifying.

Gu Jiu only glanced at it, and then felt a little churning in his stomach.

Zhuangzi Qi looked as usual, he had already guessed that this would be the result, so he walked over quickly, frowning and said, "Don't touch it yet, spread it out." ”

After letting everyone make room for themselves, Zhuangzi Qi stepped forward by himself and took a handful of medicinal powder and sprinkled it.

In just an instant, I saw blue flames floating on the rotting corpse.

It's just that although the flame is burning, it doesn't really burn people, and if you just look at it like this, you even think it's a little beautiful.

Gu Jiu stood aside, watching Zhuang Ziqi's hand rummaging back and forth on the corpse, and couldn't help but be intrigued.

This should obviously be a very terrifying picture, but it was born on top of this horror, and such a flower was born, which is both beautiful and demonic, and enough to capture people's souls.

The clothes on the man's body were not completely rotten, but they were not covered with clothes, but because they were almost rotten, there was nothing to defend against men and women.

Gu Jiu couldn't accept such a picture in the end, so he tried to watch the Zhuangzi period.

The other party didn't care at all, and even when the clothes were in the way, he could pull them casually-

I only heard a "stab" sound, and I saw that the clothes were in pieces, and the skeleton was faintly exposed, mixed with a large flowering chest, which became more and more weird.

Zhuangzi was originally expressionless, but he didn't know what he saw, his breathing suddenly became heavy, and the whole person sat on the ground.

"Master!"

Seeing that Zhuangziqi's face changed greatly, Gu Jiu hurriedly ran over, but was stopped by Zhuangziqi's shouting: "Don't move!" ”

There was a little trembling in this voice, and it was even a little sad, which made Gu Jiu's footsteps pause and stand in place with everyone.

Zhuangzi period, on the other hand, supported the ground, knelt in front of the corpse again, and used his other hand to probe the back of the opponent's neck.

Because there was only a bone connection between his neck and his body, the crooked head was a little weird.

It was such an arc that you could faintly see a mark on the back of his neck.

Zhuangzi period almost used extremely light force to pluck the past, and when he pinched the bone over, he finally saw it clearly.

It was a flame.

Even though the flesh was peeled away, the mark penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it was clear on the bone.

His hands shook suddenly, and even his expression became a little hideous.

I don't know if it was because the flame came into his eyes, Gu Jiu actually saw that there was blood in his eyes!

"Master...... What's wrong with you? ”

Everyone present discovered the abnormality of the Zhuangzi period, but he himself didn't seem to be aware of it, but he still knelt in place, but in those eyes, it was different from Fang Cai's Gujing Wubo, but it brought out anger.

That expression, Gu Jiu was extremely familiar.

It's hate.

But what is he hating?

Such a shocking expression made Gu Jiu's heart sink slightly, she was afraid that Zhuangzi Period was enchanted, so she didn't care about anything else at the moment, walked quickly to Zhuangzi Period's side and squatted down, and said softly: "Master, I'm here, look at me." ”

There was a bit of panic in the little girl's voice, and she tried her best to restrain her emotions, but the worry still leaked out. Her voice was not loud, but it was precisely because of this that Zhuangziqi's sanity gradually came back.

It took a while for Zhuangzi to let go of his hand, and the bone fell back into the soil.

He took a deep breath and said in a dumb voice: "Master is fine, Ah Jiu don't be afraid." ”

When he said this, Zhuangzi always kept his head down.

Gu Jiu couldn't see his expression, but from his voice, he keenly sensed that he was trembling.

Even his voice was shaking, as if he had fallen into a nightmare, and although he broke free, he was still in a state of waking up like a dream.

Gu Jiu didn't know why he suddenly looked like this, he was a little scared, he gently tugged on his sleeve, and said, "Master, if you are tired, let's go back first, right?" ”

At this moment, she only hoped that Zhuangzi would be safe.

Everything else, have to be on the back burner.

Zhuangzi finally came to his senses, his eyes were firmly fixed on the flame mark, and his eyes were cold as if they were quenched, but his voice was calm: "It's okay, this corpse is greasy, you should be careful, stay away first." ”

However, Gu Jiu didn't dare to go far, stubbornly squatted beside Zhuangzi Qi, and said, "Master, I'll hand you the medicinal powder." ”

The state of Zhuangzi was really terrifying, and she still had palpitations.

Hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi laughed helplessly, if it was said that his whole body was in hell, then now, Gu Jiu dragged him back to the world with his own strength.

He nodded and laughed softly: "Okay, then Ah Jiu will help Master deliver the medicine." ”

It's just that when the medicinal powder was sprinkled on the corpse again, Zhuangzi had a little more strength.

The corpse itself is not evil, what only stimulated him was the imprint of the flame.

Twenty-five years ago, the executioners who slaughtered the banker's house and burned his relatives to the ground with a fire—

The same mark on the back of the neck!

Those pasts, even after so many years, have engraved an indelible impression in the heart of Zhuangzi.

It was when he saw the mark that he was so shocked.

However......

It's a secret, and he can't reveal half a point.

Therefore, Zhuangzi allowed them to misunderstand and pushed all this to the evil nature of the corpse.

Fortunately, these people believed it.

Only except for Gu Jiu.

They all obediently moved away a little, and even Bai Wuyuan took a step away, only Gu Jiu squatted beside Zhuangzi Period, with a vigilant expression in his expression.

She is familiar with the Zhuangzi period, so she also knows that the scene of Fang Cai is definitely not because of some ghosts and gods.

But this corpse is really funny.

Gu Jiu's gaze fell on the faintly visible flame mark, but he inexplicably felt a little familiar.

This pattern......

She seems to have seen it somewhere!

But without waiting for Gu Jiu to think about it, he heard Zhuangzi Qi say: "Medicine pocket." ”

When Gu Jiu heard this, he immediately handed over the medicine bag in response, and the previous inspiration also disappeared.

She didn't care about thinking about it anymore, and was concentrating on helping Zhuangzi at the moment.

After sprinkling the medicinal powder, Zhuangziqi's mind was completely restored, he took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Okay, bury it on the spot." ”

Hearing what he said, everyone also let go of their hearts.

Since Zhuangzi said that it was okay, it must be fine.

It's too evil here, so it's better to finish it early and go back early.

Just didn't want to, but Bai Wuyuan didn't know what he saw, and suddenly his expression turned cold: "Wait! ”

Seeing this, the hands of the people holding the shovels also paused, and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

Bai Wuyuan shook his head, walked over quickly, frowned and asked, "Sir, can I touch him?" ”

He asked about corpses.

Seeing his solemn expression, Zhuangzi Qi's heart moved, and he asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Bai Wuyuan didn't say it directly, but just said, "Look for clues." ”

To be precise, it's not about looking for clues, it's about confirming a logo.

Seeing this, Zhuangzi Qi inexplicably guessed what he wanted to do, and an idea vaguely rose in his heart, and he said lightly: "Apply this medicinal powder, and you can do it." ”

Seeing that the other party handed over a new medicine bag, Bai Wuyuan took it in response, and after wiping a handful of medicine powder with both hands, he turned around and touched the corpse.

And the position he touched was as Zhuangzi thought.

It's the neck.

When Bai Wuyuan probed repeatedly, Zhuang Ziqi stared at his movements motionlessly, and when the other party's expression confirmed, he became more and more sure of the guess in his heart.

Bai Wuyuan knew this logo.

It's just that......

How would he know?
