Chapter Forty-Six: Mountains of Bones
Shen Lingjun and the others glanced back, and sighed in their hearts, no matter how powerful a person is, facing the sea, it is only a drop in the ocean.
When Shen Lingjun changed his clothes and came out again, he found that Su Musha was looking at the back of the boat, and asked curiously: "Still following?" ”
Su Musha turned his head and said, "Well, there is only one left, and it is estimated that the others are lost in the sea just now." ”
Shen Lingjun also looked back, and saw that the other party's ship was tall and magnificent, obviously not something that ordinary people could rent, no wonder he could keep up, and squinted his eyes and said, "Can you see whose ship?" ”
Su Musha shook his head: "It's too far away, do you want to investigate?" ”
Shen Lingjun stroked a strand of wet hair with his hand, and slowly shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk about it when we get to the island." ”
"Well, that's fine."
On a big boat behind, the Chai brothers stood in the cabin covered in water, clasping their fists and saying, "Thank you for saving your life." ”
Sitting in front of them was Lei Hucheng's son Lei Kun, beside him was Gao Shuheng, the deputy leader of the Changle Gang, and there were other masters on the boat.
Lei Kun arched his hand with a smile: "Everyone is a brother, why bother to say thank you." ”
Chai Fang said quickly: "Young Master Lei, why are you here, it is also for the treasure of Helaire." ”
Chai Ying kicked Chai Fang: "Don't talk nonsense, how can Lei Gongzi be a person who covets this little money." ”
Lei Kun laughed, waved his hand and said, "The two of you misunderstood, I'm not for the island treasure. As he spoke, his face turned pale, and he said, "I have come to avenge my father." ”
Chai Ying asked cautiously: "Could it be that there is an enemy of Lei Gongzi on the island?" ”
Gao Shuheng waved his fan and interjected: "Exactly, we only found out a few days ago, and the murderer behind the scenes is related to this Hailaier Island, and this time I came here to find out." ”
The Chai brothers said: "In this case, our brothers will definitely help Lei Gongzi." ”
Lei Kun got up and arched his hand again: "With all the heroes present, Lei is afraid that he will not be able to avenge this." ”
Gao Shuheng shook his fan and stood up, and said, "Young Master Lei, why don't you let the two brothers go and change their clothes first, and then come over to discuss the long term?" ”
After Lei Kun heard this, he clapped his hands, and someone from the Lei Mansion came and asked him to lead the Chai brothers to the cabin room.
After the Chai brothers left, Gao Shuheng said with an unknown smile in his eyes: "Today, Lei Gongzi saved the two Chai brothers, I'm afraid they must be going to die for Gongzi." ”
Lei Kun changed his open-mindedness just now, his face showed disdain, and he looked down on the Chai brothers.
Gao Shuheng saw Lei Kun's expression and said, "Actually, the Chai brothers still have some real skills, and their connections in Lingnan are also good, so Gongzi can make good use of them." ”
Lei Kun nodded: "I know it in my heart." ”
"Speaking of which, if it weren't for the change this time, Master Bai's plan would not have been ruined." Gao Shuheng sighed.
Lei Kun slammed his fist on the table, looked at the boat in front of him, ignited a wave of anger, and snorted heavily in a nasal voice: "If it weren't for this, my father-in-law would not have been forced back to Kunlun Mountain, and the most hateful thing is Su Musha and that female official." ”
Gao Shuheng closed the paper fan, paced outside, and looked at him from afar: "Young Master Lei, you have to be calm, now the white master can't go out of the mountain, and everything still needs to be contacted by you." ”
Not long ago, Lei Kun and others had found out that it was Shen Lingjun, the female official who was the secretary of Dali Temple in the current dynasty, who fought Bai Qiufeng in front of the famous sword villa that day. And the Yuqing Sword in her hand naturally came from Su Musha, thus confirming the rumors that Su Musha was indeed mixed with the official family.
So, Lei Kun spent money to buy off the officials, so that he knew that his father's death was related to what other island Heller had, and said that there was a great treasure on that island.
He, Gao Shuheng and others combined, deliberately took a walk to the news-
First, the situation on the island is unknown, and he wants people in the rivers and lakes to come forward to help him find the murderer; Second, if there is really this batch of treasures, you can start first, and finally, if there is a chance at that time, it will be better except for Su Musha and Shen Lingjun.
Therefore, when they knew that Shen Lingjun and they were going to leave for Helaire's island, they waited for the opportunity to follow behind.
Gao Shuheng tapped his palm with the handle of the fan, with a complicated expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "Those two people are strong in kung fu, and Shen Ling is in a high position, we still need to be careful, and it is best not to be an enemy of the imperial court as a last resort." ”
Lei Kun said in a deep voice: "I know. ”
The eagle streaked across the sky, leaving behind a terrifying sound of clouds in the air.
Ye Qingzhi stood at the window to dry her hair, and pulled up her long hair with her hands to make a simple bun.
Shen Lingjun lay next to him in the cool breeze, holding his chin to watch Zhao Qi and Su Mu play chess.
Outside, L.A. sat on top of the cabin and yawned, continuing to doze off, the sea voyage was too boring.
During the play, I was gnawing peaches, and the soft and juicy peaches couldn't stop eating. After eating one, throw the peach pit into the sea to feed the fish, and then gnaw it again until the fifth peach, feeling that the stomach can't hold it anymore, and with a flick of the wrist, I hit a beautiful water drift with the peach pit.
Clapping his hands, he was about to stand up and move, and digest his bulging belly, when he saw a mountain-like silhouette in the distance, he immediately patted Los Angeles: "Ah Gua, do you see if the island has arrived?" ”
Luo Cheng lifted one eyelid quite dissatisfied: "Don't call me Agua again in the future!" ”
During the play, he tugged on his sleeve: "Look ahead!" ”
Luo Cheng's eyes narrowed, he glanced at it, and then jumped up violently, blocking the sun with his hand as an eaves to look ahead.
A faint black shadow in front of him depicts a magnificent silhouette, connected to the distant sky.
Zhao Qi just dropped a sunspot, and poked his head out of the window with a barb during the play: "General, I see the island." ”
The four of them walked out of the cabin, and as the ship approached, sure enough, the shadow of the island became clearer and clearer.
Los Angeles gesticulated to the stern officers, shallow water ahead, and beware of the reef.
When you get closer to the island, you can clearly see that this island is not small, but it is extremely desolate.
After a slight collision, the big ship had already docked, the official anchored the ship, and the others disembarked one after another.
Stepping on the island, there was a feeling in everyone's hearts, lifeless, and even the air was full of depression.
Zhao Kuo led the officials to search and survey nearby, and Shen Lingjun and the others walked to the center of the island.
After walking less than a mile, he suddenly stopped, stunned by the strange scene in front of him.
During the play, he jumped up and hid behind Los Angeles, shouting, "So many dead people." ”
Within the line of sight, but seeing the corpses and bones all over, shocking, one after another superimposed on each other, and I don't know how many years it has been dead, the meat has been corrupted or eaten by other animals and birds, only a pile of white bones remains, white bones are forested, and they are actually all over the island.
Even Zhao Qi, who was accustomed to seeing piles of dead and wounded on the battlefield, couldn't help frowning: "Who did it." ”
No matter how much they didn't expect it to be this kind of scene, the others took a deep breath.
Ye Qingzhi walked over and checked them one by one: "Judging from the appearance of the bones, he has been dead for at least twenty years, and the cause of death is different, but judging from most of the broken bones in the chest, they basically died from a large and heavy sharp qi with a large opening, similar to a long knife, and in terms of age, from old to young, hey......"
Ye Qingzhi seemed to have discovered something, walked a few steps quickly, looked at the bones in another place, and then wondered: "Why are they all women?" ”
"In the legend of Helaire, it is also said that there are only women and no men on the island." Shen Lingjun spoke.
At this time, the hand covering his eyes during the play moved away, glanced at it secretly, and suddenly pointed to the side and shouted: "Look over there, there are a few dead people kneeling." ”
Several people followed his gaze, and sure enough, they saw a pile of corpses surrounded by bones, and several of them were kneeling and worshipping.
But unlike the corpses and bones all over the ground, these ones are obviously not completely rotten, and they can even distinguish their appearance, but the corpse maggots are crawling all over the body, which makes people can't help but get goosebumps and nausea.
Shen Lingjun looked at one of the corpses as black as charcoal, and frowned, "Fang Shilong, their corpses are here. ”
The others took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the corpses that had disappeared, and at this moment the corpses were in a strange posture, kneeling down to the bones around them in a respectful manner, as if they were repenting in the sun, so that after people saw it, they were full of excitement.
Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi walked over to check, Zhao Qi followed and glanced behind, Su Musha thought about it, and still felt that it was better to stand in the bones, at least there were not so many insects crawling. During the play, he lay on Luo Cheng's back and let Luo Cheng drag him away, curious and scared, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he looked at it empty.
There were a total of four corpses, leaning against each other, so they did not fall, judging from the appearance characteristics, it was obviously Fang Shilong who was burned, next to him was the drowned Ji Hongfei, and then it was Lei Hucheng, and the last one was already a pile of white bones, thinking that it was Yao Beiwang.
Shen Lingjun lowered his head and found that there were five white stones on the ground, placed on each person's feet, and the names were engraved on the stones, but they were not the names of the four of them.
The stone at Fang Shilong's feet reads Tian Gui, Ji Hongfei is Heshengcai, Lei Hucheng is written Zhou Quan, Yao Beiwang is Jiang Yunlong, and there is a stone on the empty ground next to it, and the engraved name is Situ You.
Ye Qingzhi said: "We haven't found out the origin of a few of them for a long time, maybe this is the real name." ”
Shen Lingjun looked at the empty stone, looked around, and said, "Since there is no rice square, it means that he is still alive." ”
Su Mu covered the two of them and said, "Mi Fang went to sea a day earlier, if he hadn't fallen into the sea to feed the fish, he should have been on the island." ”
At this moment, Zhao Kuo led the officials back and said, "My lord, we found several large ships on the other side of the island, which looked like they were from many years ago, and they were all in tatters. ”
Shen Lingjun asked, "Is there any trace of rice?" ”
Zhao Kuo shook his head: "I didn't find it." ”
Shen Lingjun pointed to the corpse on the ground: "Find a few people to restrain first." ”
Zhao Kuo found four corpses on the ground: "This ...... How is it here? ”
Shen Lingjun sighed, asked Zhao Kuo to see the words on the stone, and said, "I'm afraid your father-in-law is hiding a lot of things." ”
