Chapter Forty-Six: The Temple of Corpse Refining
I was very surprised by the words of the iron donkey, on the one hand, he was not interested in what I was saying, and on the other hand, he asked us to go with him, indicating that the house behind him was even more strange.
We didn't push back, we just walked in with him. As soon as I came to the courtyard, I noticed that there was something strange on the surface.
The whole village is black muddy soil, and occasionally the surface is slightly covered by sand and dust, but here, in some places it is darker than the outside, and in other places it is pale, and there are some variegated colors, such as red, yellow and green.
I took a sip of my shoe at the area under my feet, trying to figure out why the ground was weird.
But I didn't see anything of it. Iron Donkey must have studied this for a long time, and he turned back and muttered, "The soil here is mixed with medicinal residues. ”
I suddenly remembered the Demon Heart Arhat, and I also had a very vague idea, is this also an alchemy place?
I didn't ask much, and the iron donkey didn't want us to linger here. We walked through the courtyard again and came to a house.
The size of this big house and the most impressive thing is its door, which is not wooden, but an iron guy. I suspect that if you take it off and weigh it, it will cost you a hundred and ten pounds.
In the center of this door is also a small turntable with the symbol of the Five Poison Locks, but this one looks like an ornament, and there is no need to manually activate any mechanism.
The iron donkey said that Jiang Shaoyan was in the house, and he should go over and push the door first.
I think in my heart, Jiang Shaoyan is quite bold, if there are grimaces and so-called souls in this house, he is alone here, and he must not be frightened?
This iron gate is very heavy to push, but the iron donkey has great strength and can handle it by himself. His face turned slightly red, and the door slowly moved.
We all waited in the back, and when the door peeked through a crack, we looked in.
I found that I still underestimated Jiang Shaoyan's boldness, he squatted in the middle of the room, where there seemed to be a book on the ground, quite thick, he was reaching out and carefully flipping through it. And as the door is opened wider and wider, we see another horrific phenomenon.
Not far from the door, a wire hung horizontally, on which a dozen dead babies were hanging.
The babies were not big, the smallest was the size of a palm, and the largest was just like a newborn. This makes me think that the baby may not have been born yet, before it is fully developed, it was dug out of the mother's belly.
In addition, they are all blackened, their skin is wrinkled, they are considered dried corpses, and they are estimated to be at least 180 years old.
It's nothing, and the most frightening thing is that they all have long hair and long nails. I'm not so afraid of corpses, so I'm going to take a few steps and look at them.
Some of their hair was a foot long, and they were braided and put behind their heads. The longest nails are an inch.
One word comes to mind, "zombies". And I have also heard relevant reports that the zombies dug up in such and such a place, although the person is dead, the hair is still growing.
I don't know if it's inappropriate to call these dead babies little zombies.
The iron donkey didn't have any attitude towards the dead baby, but the two special police officers couldn't do it, their expressions were very strange, and one of the special police officers even grinned.
The iron donkey deliberately lowered his body and walked under the dead babies. It can be seen that the two SWAT officers do not want to do this, and they want to pull the dead baby to the ground with the butt of their guns.
I gestured to them, because this place is all related to the case, and I will have to find someone to investigate it in the future, and it would be better to keep everything as it was.
Both SWAT officers nodded, and like me, they leaned over the iron donkey, but they were very fast and looked impatient.
We came to Jiang Shaoyan again, and I squatted with the iron donkey on his left and right.
Jiang Shaoyan knew that we were coming, so he turned his head to see that he didn't speak, still fiddling with the book.
I put my energy into books. I saw that there was a picture and text on it, and the text was crooked, it was in Tocharian.
I read Jiang Shaoyan's page by page page of the book very carefully, I was surprised, and said in my heart that he didn't understand Tocharian?
I asked. Jiang Shaoyan's answer left me speechless, he admitted that he didn't understand the language, but the pictures in the book attracted him.
I didn't want to see the pictures, but I was so hung by his appetite that I diverted my energy.
The picture is very strange, they are all acupuncture points of the human body, and even between the various acupuncture points, arrows and orders are marked, which reminds me of the martial arts cheats, what is the sword spectrum of the six-vein divine sword. Of course, I wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this is a cheat, and it's fucking written in Tocharian.
When we came, Jiang Shaoyan had almost finished the book, and now he turned to the last page, sighed, and turned his head to look at us.
I thought he had something to say, but I didn't dare to say anything first, so I listened quietly. Who knew that he silently took out his mobile phone again and flipped the book up from the beginning.
He has no mobile phone signal and can't make calls, but he has a camera function.
This time, instead of looking at the pages, he picked them up and took pictures of some of them. I noticed a few pictures, which also had a strong impact on my heart.
One of them is a five-poison lock, another is a sun tomb, this tomb is painted more vividly, and finally there is also the first time I have seen it, which is a dragon with fire on its body.
I said in my heart that the Five Poison Locks have appeared, and it took us a lot of effort to crack them, and the Sun Tomb must be near this village, and we will find something after a while, but how can this dragon explain it? You won't say that there is a fire dragon hidden in this village, right?
The iron donkey was completely different from what I thought, and answered, "Crow, this book is a treasure!" ”
Jiang Shaoyan looked at the iron donkey and smiled, this laugh is too weird, there is a sense of mystery, and there are also elements of sneering and sneering.
We all waited patiently, and after Jiang Shaoyan finished shooting the book, he stopped touching it and let it still lie on the ground. He looked at the dead baby again, frowning and thinking about things.
At this time, there was movement outside, dang-dang-dang, it seemed to be a bell.
Since there is a bell, it means that someone must be ringing. We didn't have anyone to warn us, so we ran out one after another.
I didn't know which way to run, but Jiang Shaoyan agreed with the iron donkey and led the way. We passed by a few houses, and we didn't have time to go inside and look inside, but we came all the way to a ruined temple.
In fact, the slope of this temple is not normal, there is a half-collapsed wall outside, there is not even a door, and there are several large wooden poles standing around it, with a few rags on them, which are estimated to have been used to hang flags and other things.
And in these buildings, there is a brand-new large bronze bell, from which the sound should have come from.
We looked at the bell and looked around, but there was no one here, or the bell ringer was gone.
I wonder where the bell-ringer ran after ringing the bell. In addition, I am also vigilant in my heart, could this be a trap, those thieves want to lure us over, and then destroy us by surprise?
Jiang Shaoyan waved his hand to tell us not to move, and the four of us immediately returned to back, holding guns and preparing. Jiang Shaoyan was next to the remnant wall, he found a stronger place and swished up.
He was so well balanced, he stepped on a small stone brick, stood up straight, and looked out.
My heart was beating a little fast at this time, but I didn't encounter any danger, and when Jiang Shaoyan jumped back to the ground, I asked him, "What did you find?" ”
Jiang Shaoyan said a point that surprised us all, "There is no wind and grass around, and it seems that no one came to ring the bell just now." ”
However, he only glanced at it from a distance, and this point of view cannot be used as a conclusion, and he is not sure.
He also said, "Let's stay too far apart from each other and check the vicinity of the bell to see if we can find the footprints."
I think this method is better, and even if we find footprints, we can follow the vine and catch the bell ringer.
Let's hurry up, I originally had an impulse, and I wanted to work hard to find it, but after thinking about it, among the five of us, my trace identification ability is the weakest, so don't mess around, otherwise it won't help?
I deliberately stepped back and became a substitute.
The four of them were very busy with their work, and even after occasionally finding suspicious traces, they all asked people nearby to discuss it together.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, I was tired and yawned, and I wanted to take advantage of the time to smoke a cigarette to refresh myself. I had a cigarette in my pocket, but I had been running away and fighting and killing all the way before, and the cigarette had long since been squeezed out.
When I pulled out the cigarette case, I accidentally got it to the ground and I had to bend down and pick it up.
As soon as I looked down, I accidentally saw behind me. There was no one behind me, it was noon, and the sun was shining on me, and a dark shadow appeared behind my feet.
This is the rhythm of the shadow, and my head buzzed at the time, and my heart said that there wouldn't be an invisible man standing behind me, right, the shadow was left by it?
I didn't dare to move. It just so happened that the iron donkey glanced over here and found that I was half-pouting, and he asked me a little puzzled, "Apprentice, what are you doing?" Have a stomachache or want to hold your poop? ”
Do I say in my heart that he speaks like that? I looked up slightly and tried his look.
He had a tacit understanding with me, and he also looked back, and then his face changed, and he scolded.
The iron donkey really doesn't care about that, what invisible is not invisible. He immediately raised his gun, aimed at me, and shouted, "Get down." ”
It's easy for me to hit the ground in this position, and I do it right away.
The sound of the iron donkey's gunfire followed. The micro punch he used, da, dada, were all bursts of bullets.
Of course, I didn't get any shots, and most of the bullets, which had passed through the shadows, had a reaction at once.
There were two bullets, and suddenly a stream of "blood" came out, and it was red and scattered like a fog.
I noticed the shape of the shadow, which changed at first irregularly, and then slowly dispersed, giving the impression that it was about to be dissolved.
Jiang Shaoyan and the two special police officers noticed the situation on my side, and when the iron donkey finished shooting, they all ran over to meet me.
But as soon as we got together, when the sound came, in other words, the big bronze bell was rung again.
We were so close to the big bronze bell that my stimulated blood couldn't help but surge, and my two eyes were wide and I could see clearly, there was no one near the big bronze bell, what does this mean?
