Chapter 181: Immortal Cave
After taking Zhu Dachang and his two subordinates back to the city bureau, Li Rusong and I immediately conducted a surprise interrogation on them. The interrogation of Zhao Adaa and Fang Jiaqiang went very smoothly, and basically there was no need to ask too many questions, and they simply explained what they could and could not say.
Zhu Dachang was more troublesome, and after he walked into the interrogation room, he repeatedly said that he had been framed and that he had something to do with his lawyer. For his non-cooperation, Li Rusong and I had a headache, but we were helpless. In the end, the two of us discussed it and decided to throw Zhu Dachang to Wu Shaodong for a headache, and we returned to Suchuan City to deal with the ghost face.
Since the decision was made, the two of us did not delay any longer, and directly picked up the car and rushed to the stone mountain in Suzhou City. Due to the overnight interrogation, Li Rusong and I almost didn't sleep all night, but in order to be in a hurry, we could only take turns to rest on the way to Suzhou City.
Galloping all the way to the foot of Stone Mountain, it was almost noon, I woke up Li Rusong, bought two buckets of noodles and a few tea eggs in a grocery store at the bottom of the mountain, and made do with a meal.
Filling our stomachs, we squatted in front of the grocery store, smoking cigarettes and eating at the same time.
"Old Cheng Ha, where are you hiding in that old miscellaneous hair with a ghost face? This stone mountain is not big, it is not small, if you really want to hide someone, it is really enough to find it. ”
I looked up at Stone Mountain, also a little helpless, "Who said it wasn't, but since I know that he is hiding here, I have to think of a way." ”
Li Rusong thought for a while, "I have an idea, the ghost face must always eat and drink when hiding here, it is impossible to hide in the old forest, under normal circumstances, there should be a foothold, we can start from here." ”
"It makes sense, at least it's better than running blindly, so what do you think we should do now?"
"Hmm... In this case, let's first inquire around and ask if there are any buildings or monuments related to Taoism on the mountain. ”
I asked with some confusion: "Taoism?" Why do you have to ask about this? ”
Li Rusong smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "Intuition! ”
Although I can't understand his thoughts, no matter how you say it, it's a good idea, and it's better than headless flies stumbling in. Then I threw the cigarette butt on the ground, got up and stepped on it, and said to him, "Okay, whatever you say, let's go!" ”
"Hehe, Lao Cheng, don't worry, believe me." After pretending to say this, Li Rusong stood up leisurely and stretched, raised his legs and walked towards the grocery store owner.
I stood in front of the store and was surprised to see that this guy didn't say a few words, and just talked shoulder to shoulder with the boss like an old friend for many years. After about ten minutes, he walked up to me under the reluctant gaze of his boss.
"Old Chengha, don't stand stupidly, let's go."
My second monk asked confusedly, "Where are you going?" ”
Li Rusong said angrily, "Where else can I go!" Go find Ghost Face. ”
Dropping these words, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked to the dirt road up the mountain, and I was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
About an hour later, Li Rusong stopped in front of a hidden cave halfway up the mountain. I looked at the entrance of the cave carefully, and felt that it was ordinary, no different from other caves, "Lao Li, don't tell me, I have climbed the mountain for so long just to find this cave?" ”
Li Rusong nodded, "That's right, the grocery store owner told me that the stone mountain is related to religion, and there is only this fairy cave." ”
After listening to his words, I felt unreliable, so I retorted, "What? Can this hole be called a fairy cave? You're stupid! ”
"That guy said that there was an old fairy who was in retreat here a long time ago......"
I couldn't take it anymore and interrupted him directly, "Come on! Tell you the story, right? ”
Li Rusong didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's unreliable, go in and see if it's over." Besides, we don't have any other clues, so let's try our luck. ”
That was all I could do now, and I glanced at him and walked into the cave before him.
Entering the cave, I lit it up with my phone and took a look. I found that the space in the cave is not small, and there are some food packaging bags, cigarette butts and other sundries on the ground, which seems to have been some time. Other than that, I didn't find anything suspicious, but in the depths of the cave, a natural crack was one person wide, which piqued my interest. So I pointed to the crack and said to Li Rusong: "Old Li, do you want to go in and have a look?"
Li Rusong looked at it, frowned and said, "Yes, but pay attention to safety." ”
I nodded, and walked into the crack with my phone, while Li Rusong pulled out a pistol from behind his waist and followed me two positions apart.
Walking into the crack, I found that there was a hole inside, it turned out that the whole cave was in the shape of a gourd, the mouth of the cave was the mouth of the gourd, and the crack was the waist of the gourd.
Through the cracks, we saw a lot of traces of artificial excavation. There are several places on the cave wall that have been hewn like window sills, and there are statues of unknown gods inside, which look very old. The floor was also polished and smoothed like concrete.
Li Rusong was dumbfounded, and said to me in amazement: "Old Chengha, it's amazing!" Just what you see now is not something that can be made in a short period of time. ”
I was also amazed, I never thought it would be like this, like being in some kind of tomb robbery movie.
"yes, it's not like we're arresting a suspect, we're robbing a tomb."
"Hahaha! Maybe our brothers can really pick up the treasure! Li Rusong said thoughtfully.
"Hehe, who says it's not, let's go inside and see what's going on inside."
"Okay! Let's go on to the treasure hunt! He didn't let his nerve down, and followed me with his pistol in his hand.
After a few minutes of walking, we walked to the bottom of the inner cave, which also surprised us a lot, the innermost part of the inner cave was transformed into a Taoist hall. There is a huge statue of a god in the middle, which is estimated to be more than five meters high, but we have studied it for a long time, and we have not seen that this is the god.
On both sides of the main fairy, there are four small statues of gods, saying that they are small, but in fact, they are more than three meters high. In addition, the walls of the cave on the left and right sides are also carved with reliefs.
I approached a cave wall and studied the relief with my mobile phone for a while, and I could only see that it was an ancient sacrifice scene, but I couldn't understand what I was praying for.
Just when I was trying to interpret the content of the relief, Li Rusong suddenly shouted, "! Lao Cheng come here! ”
Startled by his voice, I quickly looked over to the place where the voice came from, and saw him standing behind the statue of the Lord Deity, bent over and not knowing what he was looking at.
I walked over curiously, and when I took a look, I was taken aback. In front of Li Rusong, there was a row of dried corpses, and the corpse on the far right was still fresh, which turned out to be the ghost face we were looking for.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I was directly stunned, and said a little overwhelmed: "Lao Li, what's going on?" ”
Li Rusong said to me with a pale face: "The specific situation is not clear, but I think this should be a cemetery, and it is also the cemetery of the ghost face of his sect." ”
I can't believe it, this kind of thing only happens in novels, and I haven't really seen it in reality, "Are you sure?" How do I feel like you're talking a little bit like that? ”
"A bit like storytelling? Hehe, Lao Cheng, take a look for yourself. Li Rusong didn't explain much, and directly let me see it myself.
Then I walked over to the row of dried corpses, looked at them one by one, and soon found clues. I don't know much history, but I can tell that these dried corpses are not from the same age.
The few dried corpses on the far left, due to the age, the clothes are no longer visible, but the fourth dried corpse, although the clothes are rotten, it can still be seen that this should be the clothing of the Ming Dynasty. From the seventh body after him, the costumes began to change, feeling like Qing Dynasty styles, and the further back on, the better the costumes were preserved.
When I walked up to Ghost Face, I suddenly saw him holding a thread-bound book in his hand. Out of curiosity, I pulled the book out of his hand and opened it.
Li Rusong saw me frowning and looking at the book, and asked suspiciously: "Old Chengha, what does this book say?" Look at your face, it's red and white. ”
I shook my head, didn't speak, and threw the book to him.
He took it and looked at it twice, and his face was also ugly, "his uncle's eggs!" This TMD is a cult! ”
"That's right, and this sect has a long history, and it has been active since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Rusong gritted his teeth and said, "His uncle's! It's been hundreds of years, how many people have to eat here! ”
I sneered, "Humph! Eating more and eating less is secondary, mainly because they have not been banned in the past few hundred years. ”
“MD! I want to set a fire and burn down this damn place! I get angry when I see these brutes! ”
"Forget Lao Li, let's let the gang in Suchuan City have a headache about this."
Seeing me say this, Li Rusong could only reluctantly agree, but he immediately remembered the purpose of our coming here, "! Lao Cheng, the ghost face is not clear, now, our plans have been disrupted, what a whole thing! ”
After he reminded me, I also reacted, "It's over!" This thing is back to square one, and it seems that we still have to use our brains from the TV station. ”
Li Rusong sighed helplessly, "Sister, this case didn't go well." Lao Cheng, tell me yourself, how many people have died in less than a month? Go down, I guess we don't need to check, the insider Q is going to die, I think ......"
Hearing him say the word "insider", I suddenly thought that when I rescued Wu Shaodong yesterday, the person named Zhao Adaa told me that Zhu Yuanrun's personal assistant may know a lot of secrets. So I hurriedly interrupted him, "Lao Li, there is actually another person, we can try our luck!" ”
"Who?"
"Assistant Liu!"
