Chapter 14: The Broken Peachwood Sword
In order to prevent the mute from sneaking up again, Chu Feng tied his hands behind his back with a rag cloth, and then picked up the strong flashlight and shone it into the coffin.
What Chu Feng didn't expect was that there was no bottom plate in the whole coffin, and it was pitch black below, and there was a burst of running water.
Chu Feng immediately shone downward, and what he didn't expect was that an irregular rectangular hole appeared under the coffin, which was more than ten meters deep, but at the bottom of the cave was a slowly flowing underground river, churning white water splashing under the light of the flashlight, but he didn't know where it flowed.
Chu Feng then took a look around the cave wall, and found some rattan and moisture-resistant wooden gears used to activate the mechanism.
Chu Feng retracted his gaze and shone the flashlight on the mute face, "Are you saying that those people you attracted were pushed down this dark river in the end?" ”
The mute nodded.
The mute in front of him looked like he was only about one meter four tall, and his limbs were thin, with his figure, he was afraid that he couldn't even beat an adult woman, so after frowning and looking at him a few times, Chu Feng looked puzzled, "How did you do it?" ”
The dumb man turned around and motioned for Chu Feng to untie himself first.
Chu Feng didn't say much, and then stepped forward and let him go.
The mute rubbed his wrist and began to gesticulate.
After watching it for a long time, Chu Feng finally understood. It turned out that the mute had gone into hiding after introducing the strangers to the ancient temple, and then the people would leave on their own after they could not find him.
But at this time, they have been hit by the ecstasy scattered by Daddy Jiang around the ancient temple, this kind of ecstasy is invisible and tasteless, and the poisoned person will think that he is lost at first, and then he will faint at different times according to his different physical qualities.
During this period, the mute will continue to follow in secret until the victim faints, and then the mute will push out the flatbed truck prepared in advance to transport them back to the underground river where the ancient temple was thrown into the coffin, and the dumb man said that he did not know where the person would be washed.
Hearing this, Chu Feng immediately understood why the dumb man appeared not far from them, it turned out that he was waiting for Chen Shanyuan and the others to faint.
Chu Feng's face changed suddenly, if the dumb man hadn't lied, wouldn't Chen Shanyuan and the others have ...... now
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Feng felt a flower in front of him, and a wave of dizziness hit his brain, and he immediately realized that he had also been hit by this ecstasy, and immediately hurriedly closed his breath and wanted to force the ecstasy out, but as soon as he was angry, he felt a soreness in his limbs.
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he secretly screamed in his heart, his eyes were cold, and he looked at the mute suddenly, "Why are you okay?" ”
The dumb man seemed to see the change in Chu Feng's face at this time, and wanted to resist immediately, but before he could raise his hand, Chu Feng grabbed his neck, "Say it quickly!" ”
The dumb man was suddenly pinched and his face turned red, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he hurriedly took out a small white medicine bottle from his pocket, Chu Feng took the medicine bottle and opened the cap with his fingers, and suddenly a smell of medicine hit his nose, and the dumb man pointed to his nose and motioned Chu Feng to smell it.
Chu Feng put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly felt a burst of coolness penetrate his nostrils, and his brain became clear, and it was only then that he let go of his dumbness.
The mute suddenly crouched on the ground with his neck around and coughed.
Chu Feng put away the medicine bottle, and was about to ask him about Daddy Jiang's residence, but found that the mute man who was squatting on the ground suddenly collapsed, his whole body was extremely curled up, his face became pale, and his hands were not taken away from his neck, and his legs kicked violently and the whole person was unresponsive.
"Dead?" Chu Feng frowned, and hurriedly stepped forward to test his snort, but he accidentally saw a pattern on his chest, and ripped off the clothes on his chest, and suddenly a branded charm appeared in front of him, and yellow pus flowed all around, and a white maggot slowly came out of his navel under the illumination of the flashlight.
Chu Feng didn't continue to look at it, got up and glanced at the charm on the mute's chest, it seemed to be a corpse talisman, which meant that the mute had been controlled by someone through this corpse talisman imprinted on his chest during his lifetime.
Chu Feng sighed, took out a yellow talisman casually, pasted it, and then turned his fingers around and pinched the knuckles, and with a sharp finger, the talisman paper suddenly burned, and then ignited the corpse mantra on the mute's chest, and soon the whole corpse was swallowed up by the talisman fire, and a foul smell suddenly spread in the chamber, Chu Feng glanced at the burning corpse, and remembered that Chen Shanyuan and the two hurriedly walked out of the chamber.
At this time, it was already completely dark, and with the dumb strong flashlight, Chu Feng returned to the place where they were hiding before after a while, but he didn't see Chen Shanyuan and the others.
At the moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly came up, and he hurriedly extinguished the flashlight and looked around in the dark, the surroundings were quiet, and under the vast night, a persimmon tree not far away swayed their hideous branches with the gusts of night wind, and the sound of insects chirping one after another made the sense of foreboding in Chu Feng's heart more and more intense.
Chu Feng calmed down, and then walked quickly towards the courtyard below the threshing floor. When Chu Feng came to the courtyard gate, he found that the two old courtyard doors were wide open at this time, and the silhouettes of the paper figures sitting around the round table in the courtyard gate could be faintly seen.
The courtyard was dark, Chu Feng first came to the westernmost hole in front of the cave, the door of the house was ajar, turned on the flashlight and shone it around, and at a glance saw a few messy footprints from the ashes all over the ground, and the footprints were not left by Chen Shanyuan and the others.
The door of the house was also hidden, Chu Feng had just approached and smelled a strong smell of blood from the crack in the door, his brows tightened, and he hurriedly pushed the door open, the room was chaotic, the wall was splashed with blood, there was a corpse lying on the kang and in front of the stove, and the flashlight turned out to be the old couple in the afternoon.
Just as Chu Feng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his face changed suddenly, because judging from their injuries, the old couple did not look like they had been murdered, but as if they had been bitten by some kind of animal, and there was almost no complete place on their bodies, and what surprised Chu Feng the most was that their wounds were all black!
"It's ...... Ptomaine! Chu Feng was suddenly startled, and his face became solemn, "Sure enough, I guessed it!" It's a zombie! ”
At the same time, I became more and more worried about Chen Shanyuan and the others, "Where did they go?" The flashlight streaked across the ground, and suddenly turned back, and a broken mahogany hilt appeared under the flashlight.
Chu Feng picked it up and looked at it, and cold sweat broke out on his body, because not long ago, he had just seen a peachwood sword that was exactly the same as this one, which Chen Shanyuan bought from a stall for fifty yuan when he was passing by the antique street before leaving, and he bought a total of two at that time, and at this moment there was another one that was inserted in Chu Feng's waist, and he quickly took it out and compared, Chu Feng's face changed, this is Chen Shanyuan's one!
