Chapter 101: The sarcophagus

Ning Yang found a big boxy stone box at the edge of the water, but if he looked closely, what kind of bullshit stone box was it, it was clearly a sarcophagus, and he was startled, but he surfaced and waited for a while, nothing happened, but he felt that it was still a little unsafe, so he climbed ashore and took the bone sword before he went into the water again and sank to the edge of this sarcophagus.

Most of this sarcophagus is buried in a pile of stones, and only one end of less than 20 centimeters is exposed in the water, judging by its shape and size, it is estimated to be an adult sarcophagus, which seems to be the place where the bones of the hanged ghost are buried.

However, the hanged ghost is obviously controlled, could it be this sarcophagus?

Ning Yang held his breath, waited for the mud to disperse a little, and then looked closely at the stone surface of the sarcophagus through the flashlight, and touched the edge and gap of the sarcophagus, there were many moss-like slippery things, stretching into the gap, it seemed to have merged with the surrounding stones, and he knew that this sarcophagus had been buried here for a short time, at least ten or twenty years, and it felt very bad.

He touched the square stone surface exposed in the water again, there seemed to be some lines on it, however, most of it was submerged in the silt, he had to see the part on it vaguely through the diving goggles, but the water was still very turbid, only saw some strange lines, this stone surface seemed to have a large circular mark, in it was some fine lines, he looked closely, he couldn't see what it was? It's like a charm, but it's not like it.

In the end, he couldn't hold his breath, so he had to float up again, frowning and gasping for two breaths, before continuing to dive, and the fine lines exposed in the water were kept in mind as much as possible, but unfortunately, these lines were carved on a stone surface of this sarcophagus, although the stone surface was polished very smooth, but unfortunately, it had been decades, covered with moss, and it was slippery and greasy to the touch, he had to use his fingers to buckle while looking, and was often disturbed by the muddy silt, and couldn't hold his breath, so he had to float up, dive, and wait until the silt dissipated, and continued, This repeated diving and floating almost didn't freeze him to death, but in order to track down the clues, Ning Yang also had to endure this cold and biting cold.

Finally, he wrote down some of the dense lines exposed in the water, climbed ashore, ran around the pond twice, and when his body was warm, he took out a pen and paper in his backpack, and drew these dense patterns while his memory was clear, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand it at all, so he had to put it in his backpack again.

Ning Yang went into the water again, dived to the edge of the sarcophagus, touched the dense lines under the silt with his hands, and found that in the center of this stone face, there was a big and deep cut with a fist, fortunately, there were not many streaks of the cut, so he used his fingers to follow the cut and quickly record it, and the fine dense lines around the central cut were dense, and he couldn't remember it when he touched it, so he had to give up.

Seeing that there was nothing else to discover, Ning Yang would be completely ashore, no longer in the water, drew the deep mark in the center on the paper, looked at it, it was a bit like a sign, but it was not like it, there was no reference, he couldn't guess what this thing was?

After putting on his clothes and pants, Ning Yang put his backpack on his back again, came to the old locust tree, and scolded the hanged ghost a few times, but still did not respond, and looked at the time It was already more than three o'clock, and he had been tossing around this pond for three hours, no wonder he was tired, cold and tired? Some of them were top-heavy and groggy, and they did not linger any longer, but when they came to the carport outside the garden, they rode on their batteries, and when they came to the door, they knocked on the doorman's door, and let him open it, and he drove home.

Opened the door lightly, the living room was dark, but on the shrine in the living room, there was a little drop of yin qi, it was the little finch grandpa who cultivated in the urn and absorbed the natural yin qi in the night. The black wolf seemed to smell his breath and got up, but unfortunately, Ning Yang didn't dare to turn on the light, for fear of waking up his parents, and when he got up, he might scold himself, so he took his mobile phone to illuminate it, and when he arrived in the study, his brain was really a little groggy, so he didn't think about anything anymore, and lay on the bed all of a sudden, wrapped in a sheet, and fell asleep in less than a minute.

It's a pity that Ning Yang hasn't slept comfortably yet, the madman's phone rang, he took it angrily and looked at it, it was only half past eight, and when he connected the phone, he couldn't help but scold: "I don't know if Lao Tzu stayed up late last night?" Isn't it okay to be late? ”

The madman scolded: "My fork, human life is at stake." Can it be late? Come on. I know you're tired, but there are already people above who are concerned about the impact of this case, and they want Lao Tzu to solve the case as soon as possible! Come on, I need your help! ”

Ning Yang had no choice but to get up, patted his head that was still a little dizzy, scolded again, after washing and brushing his teeth, he saw that the table in the living room was still covered with dishes and the like, and he knew that his mother must have secretly opened his door, and when he saw him coming back, he prepared breakfast for himself.

He is now a poor bastard, and he doesn't care about the urging of the madman, after eating a lot, his brain finally regains his vitality and rides to the criminal investigation brigade.

When he arrived at the office, Ning Yang saw the madman beckoning him over, Mulan sitting next to him, and Xiao Hei sitting next to the computer, seemingly ready to record at any time.

The madman immediately asked him to tell him about what he found last night, Ning Yang had no choice but to nod and briefly tell about last night's experience, which made both the madman and Mulan look solemn when they heard it, and the madman scolded: "It's really getting more and more chaotic!" If it involves the ghost case more than 20 years ago, forget it. Now this sarcophagus was also buried at that time, could it be that at that time, there were Taoist priests who thought of today's happening and came to deal with you now? ”

Ning Yang shook his head and said, "I understand a little now!" I'm afraid it's not Han Wuxian or someone he knows who wants to deal with me! This sarcophagus has been buried underwater for so many years, and those nicks are not only carved now, at least for many years, that is, many years ago, the hanged ghost was controlled by the Taoist priest, and now it is coming against me? It's unlikely now, but the biggest possibility is my grandfather. Don't forget that my grandfather is a Taoist priest, but he used to travel all over the world, and he probably offended anyone? That's why I set a trap at that time, and now that my grandfather is gone, the natural grievances are on my head! ”

The madman said solemnly: "Then what do you want?" ”

Ning Yang shook his head and said, "I don't want to do anything?" Just want the truth! However, I estimate that the person who dealt with me may be the disciple and grandson of the Taoist priest, otherwise, an old man would really lose his identity to deal with my junior! ”

The madman looked at Ning Yang with a smile, Mulan also looked at him a little strangely, Ning Yang smiled: "Don't look at me like this, what do you say about the concept of my grandfather's generation?" It's just a bit of a fantasy spirit. For morality, righteousness or justice, it is more important than life. Without the reality of our generation, everything is measured in terms of money or material power. They have their own set of spiritual principles for doing things, I guess that even if the old Taoist priest wants to deal with me, he will definitely not be able to pull down this face, and he will definitely ask his disciples and grandchildren to deal with me! As long as it is our generation, there will be more or less for a certain purpose, and we will make a move, otherwise, without money, who will do thankless work? This is the cruel era of our generation! ”

The madman and Mulan laughed when they heard it, but they also had bitter faces, it is true that this era is so cruel that it makes people chill, but they can only continue to run on the road of chasing financial interests, and they can't escape if they want to.

The madman was a man of action, and as soon as he heard him, he immediately began to call and contact the department to dig up the sarcophagus in the pond. And Ning Yang asked Mulan what clues they found?
