Chapter Seventy-Six: The Oriental Divine Tree
Waiting was undoubtedly a painful thing, and after about an hour of pain, an exclamation came out of the mouth of Officer Xiao Zhuo.
"Wait, what is this?"
I didn't dare to hesitate, so I immediately walked over, and looked at the place where he fingered, and I saw a white arm, the skin of the arm was intact, and there was a little dirt on it, especially the place of the nails, and there were some sawdust in it.
"Dig, keep digging!" The Xiao Zhuo policeman shouted.
I hurriedly stopped, signaled him not to dig first, and asked Xiao Zhuo police to get the body out.
The Xiao Zhuo policeman beckoned three or four policemen to come over, and everyone took a lot of effort to get the body out, but before they could check it, they didn't know who shouted, "Look below." ”
All of us immediately looked over and found that there was a black wooden board one meter long and half a meter wide under the place where the body had just been dug up, and there was a circle with a diameter of three centimeters in the middle of the board, and some clothes could be faintly seen showing along the round hole.
I chuckled in my heart, and immediately asked Officer Xiaozhuo to get the plank open.
After the wooden plank was removed, another corpse was revealed, this corpse was female, and the decomposition of the corpse seemed to be more serious than the corpse above, and there was a foul smell from all over the body.
However, all this did not stop, and under the female corpse, there was a plank, and under the plank was another corpse.
After the cycle, I don't know how many corpses were exhumed, but when we dug up the last one, the whole room was already full of corpses, male and female, old and young, and the degree of decomposition of the corpses was also different.
Looking at this room full of corpses, all of us didn't speak, all of us were shocked by the scene in front of us, no one thought that there would be so many corpses under this house.
What's even more strange is that the way this corpse is buried is in the pattern of stacking arhats, one on top of the other.
The Xiao Zhuo policeman asked me in a trembling voice, "Chuanzi, is this a pattern?" ”
I didn't speak, mainly because I didn't know what was going on, so I checked the planks that separated the corpses.
This check, my whole body trembled, pointing to those planks and trembling, my mouth was in my mouth for a long time, and I didn't hold back a word.
The police officer Xiao Zhuo was also anxious, first asked me not to be excited, and then brought me a bottle of water, and asked me to drink some water first to slow down.
After a sip of water, I took a deep breath, just to calm myself down, and said, "This... This... These planks are... Be... It's a sacred tree. ”
"What?" Officer Xiao Zhuo obviously didn't understand what I meant, so he asked me what was going on.
I didn't hide it, so I said, "These are oriental sacred trees, and they have spirituality!" ”
The so-called Oriental Sacred Wood, strictly speaking, should be called gloomy wood, it has gone beyond the scope of wood, belongs to the category of 'treasure', a palm-sized gloomy wood, its economic price is simply immeasurable, at least six figures, or even seven figures, once this wood is carved into handicrafts, its economic price will be doubled.
The reason why gloomy wood is so expensive has a lot to do with the process of its formation. According to folk rumors, in ancient times, the thousand-year-old precious ancient trees of the primeval forest, due to sudden geographical changes, some ancient trees were buried in the riverbed, under the sediment, and some were buried in the dark strata of lack of oxygen, for thousands of years, or even longer, these ancient trees experienced the erosion of the soil, the mud and stone crushing, so as to lead to different shapes, thousands of postures.
After thousands of years of corrosion and creation of nature, these gloomy wood has both the quaintness of wood and the charm of stone, its texture is solid and heavy, the color is black and luxurious, and it is not rotten and immortal for 10,000 years, not afraid of insects, and it is natural.
More importantly, these gloomy wood is a treasure in the eyes of our ghost craftsmen, and my senior brother once said that if you can make a Luban ruler out of gloomy wood, you will have no regrets in this life.
I didn't expect to see so many gloomy woods here, and I was so excited that I couldn't express it in words.
At that moment, I trembled my hand and touched the board, this touch, warm, as if there was some kind of heat, and then stared at the texture of the gloomy wood, and found that the texture of the gloomy wood was extremely clear, and the whole texture presented a smooth and atmospheric feeling.
I took a deep breath, according to the "Gloomy Wood Identification Formula", the gloomy wood body is like carbon black, the color is different, the water is black and bright, the oiled color is stationed, and the burnt ash is yellow.
I immediately broke off a piece of gloomy wood the size of a soybean, and asked Officer Xiaozhuo to get a basin of water, put the gloomy wood into the water, and its color immediately became bright, and I lit it with a lighter, and the wood ash burned out was just yellow.
I immediately concluded that it must be gloomy.
Without any hesitation, I immediately checked the other boards, and was disappointed that although the color of those boards was similar to that of gloomy wood, it was not really gloomy wood, but the more common windmill wood, which grew slowly, the wood was very strong, the hardness was large, the toughness was strong, the structure was dense, and the texture was very different from the gloomy wood, but they had some similarities, that is, they were wear-resistant and rot-resistant.
Although I was a little disappointed, the gloomy wood in front of me, which was one meter long and half a meter wide, was already the biggest gain.
Then again, though, it's good to find gloomy wood, but what's the deal with so many corpses separated by planks?
And then there's why is Gloomy Wood here?
Did someone put it here on purpose, or did someone ignore the goods and mix the gloomy wood in the windmill wood?
Personally, I believe in the former, after all, how can those current merchant monkey spirits mix gloomy wood with windmill wood.
If that's the case, then here's the problem.
What was the purpose of the man who put it in the gloomy wood, and why did he put such an expensive gloomy wood with these corpses?
Also, what is the relationship between the new house of the three brothers of the Xu family and these corpses?
All of a sudden, countless mysteries were like a huge mountain, weighing me down a little.
After a short pause, I put away the gloomy wood, handed it to police officer Xiao Zhuo, and said to him very bluntly: "After the deed is done, I want this piece of wood." ”
Of course, I didn't hide it from him, and told him the economic value of the gloomy wood.
After listening to this, he was silent for a long time, probably thinking about it, and talked to some of the policemen next to him for a while, and finally he said, "Okay, provided that this matter must be solved perfectly." ”
I snorted, not to mention whether there is this gloomy wood, even if there is no this gloomy wood, I will continue to investigate this matter, the reason is very simple, I always feel that this matter may have something to do with me.
After agreeing on all this, the little Zhuo policeman gathered up the remaining planks and counted the corpses in the house, a total of sixty corpses, the most complete corpse was the one we dug up earlier, and the corpse at the bottom was, strictly speaking, just a stack of bones.
After finding out all this, police officer Xiao Zhuo led several policemen to the new house of Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er, and in the afternoon, two bodies were dug up under the house of Xu Lao Da and Xu Lao Er, which were the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family.
Some things are also very evil to say, just after we dug up the bodies of the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family, the villagers of Nanmen Village were inexplicably better, which made us all happy, but a little more melancholy, I just felt that the whole thing was like an endless abyss, the more I dug down, the more bizarre I felt.
