Chapter 221: Fourteen Tombstones

I saw that under the river, there were dead people's tombstones criss-crossed, and Ruan Luo's body was nowhere to be found.

I was stunned for a few seconds, and my face was a little unsightly.

It was late at night, and there was no movement at all. Cao Tianshi muttered, "Could there be ghosts?" ”

I rolled my eyes and said to Master Cao, "I am the palace of the underworld, even if there are ghosts, I am not afraid." ”

I thought to myself that the shopkeeper would not lie to me, but there was indeed a discrepancy between what he said here, unless someone had done something to Ruan Luo's corpse in advance, and the river was separated by the water avoidance sword, and a clearing appeared in front of me, but the clearing was still wet.

I asked Cao Tianshi to stare at it, and I went down to take a look.

Cao Tianshi answered and said okay, I jumped to the bottom of the river, and after a cursory look, there were more than a dozen tombstones here.

It was also covered with dead vines, and my heart sank, could it be that this was not a river before?

I pulled a tombstone open and saw a name written on it that I had never heard of.

I counted fourteen tombstones. Scattered at the bottom of the river, the names are basically all unfamiliar, and none of them are familiar.

Is there someone deliberately confusing me.

Will Nguyen Lok's grave be buried in these graves?

I was thinking about it when Cao Tianshi called out to me on the shore and said, "Zhang Yan, there are so many tombstones, you might as well ask the river god to come out and ask." ”

Cao Tianshi also knows my identity in the East China Sea, I am the river god of the Yellow River, and I am one of the candidates for the Dragon King of the East China Sea, this river is an unknown river, and I still have the right to ask about it.

I listened to Cao Tianshi's words and opened my mouth to shout the river god, but after shouting for a long time, I didn't see any movement.

Maybe there is no river god in this river at all. I had to turn my attention back to the fourteen tombstones, and I took out the axe. I said to Cao Tianshi, "I'm going to dig a grave." ”

Cao Tianshi stood on top, and the red wood wolf followed him, whimpering.

Cao Tianshi raised his eyes and looked at the sky, then looked at it, and then said: "I don't think it's okay, I calculated it, it's a fierce appearance." ”

Cao Tianshi said that it was a fierce appearance, and what he said was very vague, I said to Cao Tianshi, can you be specific?

Cao Tianshi jumped down from the shore, and the red wood wolf followed.

Cao Tianshi pointed to a tombstone and said, "The river flows westward, but the tombstone faces east, you see, the distance of each tombstone is the same." ”

I looked at the tombstones and saw that each one was about a meter apart.

Cao Tianshi then said to me: "Zhang Yan, believe it or not, if you dig a piece, the rest will react, which is called pulling a hair and moving the whole body." ”

I said disapprovingly: "Even if you cheat the corpse, so what? ”

Cao Tianshi's tone suddenly became gloomy, and he was a little shocked and said, "What if it's a thousand-year-old corpse? ”

I looked at Cao Tianshi and I looked at each other, I thought about it for a while, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Cao Tianshi's mouth, and he said to me: "Don't worry about it first, I'll help you test it first." "I looked at it curiously, Master Cao, I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

Cao Tianshi climbed up the riverbank, patted the dust on his hands, tore a piece of grass from the forest, he separated the grass from the middle, he fiddled in front of me, and said, "Zhang Yan, what do you think this looks like?" ”

"A piece of grass split from the middle, isn't it just a "human" word? ”

Cao Tianshi didn't deny it, and said: "This is a personal character, you can see it." ”

Cao Tianshi took out a small dagger from his pocket, cut a knife on his finger, blood oozed out, he immediately wiped it on the grass, and then held his fingers with his hand, and after the bleeding stopped, Cao Tianshi muttered a few words to the herringbone grass.

His lips were closed at a rapid pace, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.

It's just that after Cao Tianshi finished reading, the herringbone grass in his hand suddenly moved, Cao Tianshi squatted down, put the herringbone grass on the ground, and said, "Go." ”

The grass was right under my nose, and I walked forward on "two legs". I looked amazed and asked Cao Tianshi. Cao Tianshi said proudly: "I'm just a small skill of carving insects, and our ancestor will also scatter beans into soldiers." ”

I watched as the herringbone walked towards the tombstone, and it was quickly inside.

But after less than a minute, the herringbone grass came out, but it looked a little miserable, broke into two, walked in front of Cao Tianshi, and fell.

Cao Tianshi picked up the herringbone grass, smelled it, and then said: "Sure enough, it smells of rotting corpses, it seems that it is really a thousand-year-old corpse." ”

My face became a little more solemn. After that, I said to Cao Tianshi, "I still plan to dig it out and take a look." ”

Cao Tianshi saw that I insisted on this. Didn't say anything either. He came down to help me, Cao Tianshi chose the nearest piece, and we dug it up, because the soil under the river was soft, so it was not difficult to dig up, and after a while, the first tombstone was dug down by us to the ground.

A coffin appeared inside, and the coffin was pitch black.

I didn't hesitate to pry the coffin open.

After prying it open, my complexion changed, and so did Cao Tianshi. But what surprised me was not the corpse inside, I grew up by the Yellow River, I have never seen any kind of corpse, the corpse that has been soaked in water for more than ten days, rotting all over, white, and the internal organs are floating outside the body, I have never been afraid.

When I see a dried corpse, I don't feel scared.

The reason why the complexion changed was because the corpse inside was actually wearing the official uniform of the underworld.

The corpse I dug up was wearing the official uniform of the Difu Land Lord.

Cao Tianshi also asked, "Zhang Yan, what's going on?" ”

Cao Tianshi asked me the reason, and I was also confused, trying to find someone to ask. What does this corpse have to do with the underworld?

I looked at the rest of the graves, but there was no movement.

What Cao Tianshi said about affecting the whole body did not happen.

The words that Master Cao Tianshi said to me suddenly came to my mind, the river flows westward, but the tombstone faces east, and the river water collides with the tombstone, which to some extent, is it a kind of suppression?

Just as I was thinking about it, Cao Tianshi suddenly let out a miserable scream.

I opened my eyes and saw that Cao Tianshi's neck was being choked by the land lord in the coffin, I shouted to stop, but it didn't work, I had to step forward and kick the earth lord to the ground. I pulled Cao Tianshi over.

Cao Tianshi was still panting, and I asked him to go ashore first.

The land lord had already jumped out of the coffin, and I took out the mountain axe and was about to deal with the land lord, but what I didn't expect was that the land lord paused in front of me, and the eyes that looked a little terrifying seemed to be looking at something.

Then he actually owed me a debt.

I was stunned at first, and then I understood, how to say that I am also the palace of the underworld.

I told him to step down, and he did.

At this time, Cao Tianshi shouted: "Zhang Yan, look at it." ”

I followed Cao Tianshi's gaze and happened to see the rest of the tombstones shaking. What Cao Tianshi said was also fulfilled.

In fact, I am still a little curious, people can only serve in the underworld after death, so the living generally have little opportunity to wear the official uniform of the underworld. Of course, I'm an exception.

Although the lord of the land seems to be obedient to the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, I also went ashore for the sake of safety.

I got the red timber wolf ready to run away at any time.

The red wood wolf whined, and its body instantly became larger.

I stared at the grave closely, and finally the remaining thirteen tombstones all shattered in an instant.

There was a cold laugh from inside, which made people feel creepy, and Cao Tianshi's face had turned a little pale, and he said to me, "Zhang Yan, or let's go first." ”

I hummed, and I quickly drew my water-sheltering sword.

The river lost control in an instant, and it flooded towards the grave, but it was obviously too late.

I had a bad premonition in my heart, and I didn't hesitate at the moment, Cao Tianshi and I quickly got on the back of the red wood wolf, and the red wood wolf whined and ran into the depths of the forest. I turned my head to look at it, and I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at me from behind.

The red timber wolf itself is very fast, carrying us through the jungle.

Cao Tianshi said to me, Zhang Yan, will we be fooled?

I shook my head to indicate that I didn't know, but the red timber wolf ran for a ride, and suddenly came to a sudden brake, and suddenly stopped.

I looked at the scene in front of me and thought to myself, I was still being caught up.
