Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Strange Woman
I lay on the ground gasping for a long time, and then I heard Hou San's especially weak moan: "Ouch...... It's a loss this time, brother, are you still alive? ”
I heard Hou San calling me, he was at the other end of the room, and he was so painful that he breathed in cold air at the slightest movement, obviously suffering a lot of injuries.
"That son and mother murderer were killed by you?"
Hou San rolled his eyes at me: "I can only say that we won for the time being, and Ziyin is not so easy to deal with with his mother." She only retired temporarily, but if she didn't solve the problem thoroughly, she would definitely settle accounts with our brothers. ”
I don't know if he was distressed or in pain, until I put away my things and carried him out into the street, he was still sighing one after another.
"Alas, the master's favorite peachwood sword, three hundred years old, broken ......"
"The array of the Yin-Yang Mirror was broken, and the mirror was also broken......"
"The Heavenly Master Fu is all burned...... It's okay, this can be drawn again......"
"Even the Heavenly Master used incense...... What the fuck is this...... It's a big loss......"
Although I am glad that I picked up a life tonight, Hou San really wants to cry at this moment, especially for stealing the magic weapon under the Sanqing seat, I don't know what the master's expression will be when he finds out.
After returning to the mountain, Hou San and I couldn't stop, and the master didn't get too angry when he knew that Hou San and I stole incense, after all, one incense offering was exchanged for three lives, and it can't be regarded as an abuse of magic weapons.
If it weren't for Hou San's cleverness, he took an incense stick to save his life when he left. Our brothers and the hapless Li Juan must now be the three corpses in the morgue.
And the matter of Tangjiazhuang's "grandmother", the master is not ready to interfere. According to the master's words, if the two of us stay in the temple and cultivate well, this mountain full of gods and Buddhas will be enough to keep us safe. Hearing what the master said, Hou San and I could only be punished quietly and think about it behind closed doors, but in this half-month period of being closed, Li Juan never came to us again.
We've cut off contact with her since she ran away like crazy that night. If she doesn't come to me, I won't look for her, maybe it's a good thing that she doesn't come, which means that the matter of "grandma" has been completely settled, her life has been on the right track, and naturally she will no longer be mixed with us gods and ghosts.
When Hou San and I finally finished copying the scriptures and secretly ran back to the shop at the foot of the mountain, we found that there were already people waiting there.
There was a beautiful woman standing at the door of the store, at first I thought it was a customer who was going to sell things, this woman chatted with us for a few words and then got straight to the point and asked about Li Juan.
This woman's surname is Luo, and she is the president of a "séance" in the city, and she is guarding the door of the store every day these days, saying that she must talk to us. So I asked Hou San to pack up her belongings in the store and took her to a remote bar not far from the mountain.
Since she wants to ask Li Juan yes, it means that she has more or less heard the rumors. Whether she was going to tell me something good or bad, I didn't want a third person to hear it.
I led her to the box on the second floor, sat down with a big grin, and asked her, "What do you want to drink?" I'm in for a treat? ”
I've always had little respect for the "Séance", a sect like a nine-rate organization, and it seems to me that these people are either pretending to be gods and tricks to cheat money, or young people are engaged in some kind of supernatural phenomenon research society. Compared to people like us who have actually seen the big scene, they are like playing a child's game.
Luo Xiaomin was a little uncomfortable, she shouldn't be in and out of this kind of occasion often, sitting here seemed a little cramped, I couldn't help but secretly say that I really chose the right place, and I won first in terms of momentum.
"You don't have to drink anything." Luo Xiaomin glanced up at me and asked, "Do you know Li Juan?" ”
"Li Juan? What Li Juan? As soon as she opened her mouth, she mentioned Li Juan, which made me a little unable to react.
"Li Juan, director of the County History Museum, don't you know her?"
"Know, know...... But we haven't seen it a few times. ”
"I heard that your senior brother sneaked into the basement floor of the museum some time ago and was caught by Li Juan?"
I frowned, and the tone of this little girl interrogating a prisoner made me very unhappy. Are young people so horizontal now? Who does she think she is, policeman? Specifically to check on me? But no matter what I think in my heart, I still have to continue to answer perfunctorily. If you get into an argument with her at this juncture, things will only go on and on.
"That's right, Hou San and I both went down, but I didn't do anything, I just took a few photos, if you want to see it, I'll let Hou San get it for you later."
"That's no need, the museum really didn't lose anything, the photos were taken, you can keep it as a souvenir."
"Then what the hell are you looking for me?"
"It's nothing, I'm just investigating some of the people Li Juan came into contact with at the end to see if there are any clues."
"What happened to Li Juan?" I suddenly had a bad feeling.
Luo Xiaomin glanced at me, took out a few photos from his pocket and handed them to me: "Look at it yourself." ”
There are four or five photos in total, and it is a naked woman.
Because of excessive blood loss, her entire skin was glowing with a lifeless dark yellow, the whole person was curled up, like a shrimp, a knife cut from her chest cavity to her lower abdomen, the internal organs in the stomach were taken out and held in her arms, from a distance, I thought it was a baby holding a placenta, and the whole face was twisted because of pain, but now I can't see the whole picture, and there are seven steel nails nailed to the seven senses.
"How did she ......?"
Luo Xiaomin shook his head: "The body was found half a month ago, and the news was blocked from above, and I don't know very well what happened, I only heard that Li Juan's death was unusual, and someone from above would be sent down to take care of it." ”
"I want to know what happened the night we met her half a month ago?"
