Behind this iron gate, I am afraid that a large number of bones have been piled up.

I asked Lu Shengcai to find a way to open the floodgates, and then quickly returned to the bedroom to get the ghost lantern.

Lu Shengcai's efficiency of picking the lock is quite high, when I came back with the lantern, the gate had been opened, Yunshang was anxious, and he went into the door hole to check the situation without waiting for me to come back, Lu Shengcai claimed that he had persuaded her to wait a little longer, but unfortunately he couldn't persuade her.

Now that Yunshang has already entered, I don't dare to delay, so I hurriedly beckoned Lu Shengcai to drill into the ground together.

There was a vertical ladder more than three meters long behind the gate, and when I was halfway down the ladder, I heard Yunshang shouting in the depths of the darkness: "Hurry up, it's too dark here." ”

Follow the ladder to the end, is an area of only a dozen square meters of the basement, at this time Yunsheng's body has glowed with a soft light, although the light is still quite dim, but can still be recognized, leaning on the outlines around the basement, should be the bones of dead people.

I carried the lantern to one of the bones and examined it closely, and in the flickering light of the fire, there were faint reflections on the bones, and the points of light were quite glaring, as if they were reflected off small particles of metal.

At this time, Yunshang also stuck to my side and whispered to me, "These people have been dead for thirty years. ”

I glanced at her, "How do you see that?" ”

I heard Yunshang say: "The aura is the same as liquor, if it stagnates for a long time, some changes will occur, and the dead air in this place has been boiled for a full thirty years, and it is very mellow." ”

I am not qualified to comment on this, after all, there is a considerable gap between me and Yunshang in terms of the ability to perceive aura.

I moved the lantern, inch by inch, illuminating the bones.

The light of the fire flickered, illuminating the short needles that were deeply rooted in the bones, and the metallic luster just now was reflected from these short needles.

Each needle was only two inches long, as fine as pubescence, but extremely hard, and I tried to put the bottom of a lantern against the tail of one of the needles, and the short needle was so slender that it did not bend at all.

It wasn't until the candlelight fell on the left chest of the skeleton that I noticed a jagged hole in its sternum.

It reminded me of the old woman chopping a log with a serrated knife.

If I'm not mistaken, this person should have died from the old woman's serrated knife.

The knife was extremely heavy, and when it was closed, it was clean and neat, and there was no trace of it except for the faintly visible crust on the sternum.

After that, I looked at the whole body of the skeleton and calculated that there were eighteen short needles around it, and each needle was pressed into the acupuncture point.

Just as I was about to take back the lantern, Lu Shengcai reached out with a hand to pull out one of the short needles.

I quickly grabbed his wrist: "What are you going to do!" ”

Lu Shengcai pointed to the skeleton and said, "These fine needles are all made of gold, although the amount is not large, but if you collect it well, you can exchange it for a lot of money." ”

"Can you make a difference, you are too embarrassed to take what is on the dead man's body. Let me tell you, these short needles are specially made, but if you are not careful when you take the needles, they will puncture your flesh and flesh, and go directly into the blood vessels, and when the short needles flow down the blood into the heart, the gods will not be able to save you. ”

When I say this, I don't just want to scare him, these short needles should be the divine hidden needles that have been passed down from generation to generation in Jingyun Mountain, I heard the master say some time ago, the divine hidden needles are extremely strange, once they enter the flesh and skin, they can go straight to the heart along the blood, if it is not for the great mental power, it is impossible to force it out of the body.

But the master also said that there are only more than 1,000 Divine Hidden Needles handed down by the Earth Sect, and these short needles were refined by Ge Hong himself 1,800 years ago, and now no one can redo them, so it can be said that they are one less than one, so the ancestors of the Earth Sect have cherished them very much, and they will never be sacrificed for use unless they have to.

Now the dead bodies in the basement have long since turned into bones, and the divine hidden needles that have not entered their bodies have also reappeared, and the people who administered the needles to them at that time should have come to recover them a long time ago, but why, these divine hidden needles are still left on the bones?

I then looked at the other corpses, and each of them had eighteen short needles, and on most of them, the scratches left by the serrated knife could be seen.

There were a total of more than twenty corpses in the dungeon, and the number of short needles left on their bodies together was almost half of the number of Jingyun Mountain's heirloom divine hidden needles.

It's strange why the person who gave the needle didn't come back to collect it.

I was still pondering this question repeatedly, and I heard Lu Shengcai wondering on the side: "The dampness is so heavy, it's been more than 30 years, why are these bones still there?" It's supposed to be rotten a long time ago. ”

Listening to Yunshang's response: "That's because the short needle seals the eighteen veins around their bodies, one vein, the internal breath is disordered, and the spirit rhyme cannot be leaked, and these spirit rhymes are attached to the bones in the process of corpse decay, so that the bones will not decay for many years." ”

I was taken aback: "What did you just say?" ”

Yunshang flickered her eyelashes and replied in a daze: "I said, these bones have the blessing of Lingyun, so they will not rot for many years." ”

"The previous sentence."

"The pulse is one, the internal breath is disordered, and the spiritual rhyme cannot be leaked out."

Yes, that's it!

"Uncle Junior, why did you suddenly become so serious?"

"I suddenly remembered Uncle Lu."

"Old man Lu, what do you want him to do?"

At this moment, I seem to be able to figure out why Lu Shibo's internal breath fluctuates abnormally when he exhales vigorously.

In his body, I am afraid that he has also been planted with a divine hidden needle! It's just that the needle has been embedded in the bone and failed to flow into the heart with the blood vessels, so that Lu Shibo can save his life.

This place is not suitable for a long time, so I immediately greeted Yunshang and Lu Shengcai, and climbed back to the surface along the vertical ladder.

After returning to the kitchen, I quickly glanced out the window to make sure that no one was there, and then asked Lu Shengcai to reseal the gate.

I watched Lu Shengcai re-tighten the steel lock on the gate, and when I looked up at the window again, I found a person standing in front of the window.

The old woman didn't know what came back, but at this time she almost pressed her old face against the windowpane, and a pair of lifeless eyes passed through the glass, staring at me and Yunsheng.

As soon as Lu Shengcai got up, he happened to see the old woman's face in a glance, and he was suddenly shocked: "It's so ugly!" ”

The old woman stared at the three of us gloomily, and the corners of her mouth slowly provoked a strange and inexplicable smile: "You all saw it?" ”

I put down the ghost lantern and put my hand on my waist: "Did you kill all those people in the basement?" ”

The old woman slowly opened her shriveled mouth and smiled like a toothless vicious dog: "If it's not me, who else can it be?" ”

Good mother-in-law, so honest!

Now that you've admitted it, the rest is easy!
