Chapter 227: The coffin is gone
Zhou Yuefeng's guesses were true, which made him a little disappointed, and at the same time, he was even more worried about the mayor's collusion with the Japanese, if that case, then things would be even more difficult to handle. Although Lin Mu and himself can be regarded as having a confession, but after so many things, Zhou Yuefeng still doesn't dare to trust anyone easily.
He walked up to Lin Mu and patted his shoulder: "Not bad brother, you can follow me at the headquarters in the future, and I will let Lao Zhou take care of the old and young in the family." ”
Lin Mu said: "Young Master Feng, my family was plagued by the Japanese when they were fighting, and the whole family died. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but lower my head, it should have evoked sadness.
Zhou Yuefeng said: "They are all hard-working people, and they will work hard in the Zhou family compound in the future, this is your home, and the people in the Zhou family compound are your brothers, and they will be your family in the future." ”
Hearing this, Lin Mu was even more moved, tears swirled in his eyes, but the man didn't flick when he had tears, and while the tears had not yet flowed out of his eyes, he wiped them vigorously, and then said to Zhou Yuefeng: "Thank you, Young Master Feng, but the mayor is essentially a good person, I really don't want him to go astray." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to dissuade him if I have the opportunity, if one day we face off, I also promise you that you will never take his life." Hearing what Zhou Yuefeng said, Lin Mu was relieved. Zhou Yuefeng shouted outside: "Old Zhou! "Lao Zhou has been waiting outside for a long time, and with his eyes on people, he has been taking a fancy to this kid for a long time.
"Young Master Feng, you called me?" Zhou Yuefeng said: "You take Lin Mu down and arrange it for him." Lao Zhou smiled with a smile on his face and took Lin Mu down. After half a cup of tea, Lao Zhou came back again.
As soon as he pushed the door, he said happily, "Young Master Feng, what did I say?" If you don't come today, will you regret it, I have been optimistic about this kid for a long time, and today I can finally get close, and in the future, Young Master Feng, you will be like a tiger. ”
Zhou Yuefeng asked: "Old Zhou, do you think he is reliable?" Could it be a spy sent by the mayor? Lao Zhou said: "I don't see it, I see people more accurately, this kid is a kind person at first glance, when he followed you to find the corpse spirit, I thought it was good, I didn't expect to really come to Cheng." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Old Zhou, why do you think we are dead? Lao Zhou was a little embarrassed, and said: "I'm ashamed, I'm also responsible for this matter, I heard that the people sent by the mayor have returned, so I was a little worried, but the next day the mayor posted a notice in the whole city, saying that the young master of the Zhou family led the four little brothers to die with the corpse spirit." ”
Speaking of this, Lao Zhou looked at Zhou Yuefeng, and saw that he didn't interject and continued: "I didn't believe it at all, because we all know Young Master Feng's skills, and at the same time, this kind of situation has not happened to you once, and there has been no news for more than a month since you left before, nothing happened, I also know a little bit from the master, the place you go to is much more dangerous than here." ”
Zhou Yuefeng sat down in the chair again, and also motioned for Lao Zhou to sit down and said, Lao Zhou arched his hand and sat down and continued: "But the day after they came back, the mayor sent his entourage to our house, saying that you are dead, let you be buried as soon as possible, we don't know what happened, they took a few pieces of minced meat, saying that they were picked up outside the cave, and they are your remains." ”
At this time, Zhou Yuefeng suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he said, "How many pieces?" Where's all that minced meat now? ”
Lao Zhou said: "Those pieces of minced meat are not big, there are five pieces in total, and they put them in five coffins, and they are still in the coffin!" ”
Zhou Yuefeng shouted badly and asked: "Yesterday I asked you to directly use those five coffins to bury those brothers, have the bodies been put in now?" ”
Lao Zhou said: "Yesterday you put it in after you gave the order, and now the coffin is parked in the mourning hall, is there anything wrong?" "
At this time, Zhou Yuefeng was already a little anxious and worried, but he still held a glimmer of hope and said: "When the bodies of the five brothers were put in, did you take out the pieces of minced meat in the coffin?" ”
When Lao Zhou saw Zhou Yuefeng's anxious appearance, he knew that something might be wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Feng, what's the matter?" What the hell are those pieces of minced meat? ”
Zhou Yuefeng didn't answer him, but stood up from the chair all of a sudden, and said: "Old Zhou, you hurry up and inform Ma Monkey that they, Dongzi, as well as Cheng Jun and the newcomer Lin Mu, all go to the mourning hall to gather, something big has happened, there are as many people as possible, call the rest of the sixteen people, go now." ”
After speaking, he immediately picked up the Qiankun bag, took the soul whip and the frog sword and rushed out of the door, Lao Zhou also realized the seriousness of the situation, he had never seen Zhou Yuefeng so out of shape since he came to the Zhou family compound, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called a few younger brothers to their respective residences to inform these people to rush to the mourning hall.
After Zhou Yuefeng arrived at the mourning hall, something really happened, he stood at the door of the mourning hall, looking at the empty few seats where the coffins were placed, and at this time, Ma Monkey, Cui Fatzi, Cheng Jun and Lin Mu also ran over from all directions. I was stunned when I saw the scene in front of me, and I saw that the little brothers who were guarding the spirit were lying on the ground, and the five big coffins were actually gone.
Lao Zhou just knew that this matter must be trivial through Zhou Yuefeng's performance, but now he knew the seriousness of the matter, and asked, "Young Master Feng, what's going on?" Coffin ......"
Before he finished speaking, Dongzi arrived with the remaining younger brothers of the sixteenth, looked at the mourning hall, and asked, "What's wrong, where is the coffin!" ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "Everyone will go back to the hall and discuss again, and there will be competent people here to watch." After finishing speaking, he left in front, Lao Zhou didn't send anyone this time, he stayed there, and looked at the mourning hall with the remaining little brother of the sixteenth to make sure that nothing went wrong. Zhou Yuefeng took the others back to the hall.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Yuefeng walked to the main seat and did it, everyone else also knew the seriousness of the matter, there was no greeting, they all sat down separately, Zhou Yuefeng said: "Things are a little bad, we have always felt that these five corpses are a little strange, and now I finally know what the problem is." ”
None of them spoke, but they all listened quietly, even the horse monkeys who had always liked to babble had now stopped. Zhou Yuefeng said: "I'll make a long story short, this time the mayor arranged it, if you don't know about it, ask Lin Mu later, I'll talk about the coffin first." Ma Monkey, I asked you to go out and ask Lao Wu to bring the team in, and at that time Lao Wu's team was already dead. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt a chill on their bodies, and their hearts were raised, and Zhou Yuefeng continued: "The team led by the mayor has a master in it, do you know Lin Mu?" ”
Lin Mu thought for a while and said, "I really haven't found this, I am familiar with the other twenty-seven people in this team, and I have always carried them, and they are absolutely reliable." Zhou Yuefeng said: "No, someone must have mixed in later, if there is no guidance from a master, it is impossible for Xiaokong to know the trick." ”
At this time, everyone was already a little confused, and they didn't know what Zhou Yuefeng meant, so they all looked at Lin Mu, Lin Mu thought about it and suddenly realized: "Young Master Feng, I know, after I was transferred to the mayor with the team, there was really one more person in the team." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, that person must be the one among the bandits you surrounded and suppressed on the Ghost Mountain to tell the mayor about the Great Seal of the Soul Town." ”
Lin Mu said: "Young Master Feng, you are simply a god, this matter has been so long, don't you say that I have long forgotten, after encircling and suppressing that group of bandits, everyone else was beheaded, and this one was left by the mayor, I heard that it was a military advisor in the bandit gang, and there was no life on him, and he told the mayor the secret, so he was assigned to my team, but this person has been unknown, and I have long forgotten him." ”
Cui Fatzi finally understood a little after listening to it for a long time, and said: "Haven't you heard that biting dogs don't bark?" ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "He can be a military advisor in the bandit gang, and he must have excelled in following the bandits for so long, this person knows Taoism, and the spell he used this time is called 'Soul Locking', using a piece of flesh in the back of the person's heart to lock the soul, so that people can still live like a normal person for about an hour." After this hour, he will die, and the death is very special, if this piece of soul lock meat meets ** again, this person will become a living corpse! ”
Everyone listened to it for a while, and the horse monkey asked, "Brother Feng, is this living corpse alive or dead?" If it is said that the soul did not enter the netherworld and was locked in the flesh, then now that the soul is possessed again, is this person still saved? ”
These sixteen people were all selected and cultivated by Zhou Yuefeng, and he naturally attached more importance to them than others. If there was a glimmer of hope, he would save it, but he shook his head and said: "I can't save it, living corpses, that is, corpses that can move, this thing is extremely evil, they don't know that they are dead, but they have all the spiritual power of ghosts, so you must be careful." ”
Cui Fatzi said: "They don't know that they are dead, so they should still be loyal to Brother Feng, and they shouldn't do anything too out of line, Brother Feng is so good to them, they won't make trouble." ”
Zhou Yuefeng said: "No, although these people don't know that they are dead, but now they are like walking corpses, they have no consciousness at all and have no natural and no memory, so everyone should be careful, no matter how familiar you are with them before and how good your relationship is, don't be soft, and stop before you encounter them." ”
After speaking, Zhou Yuefeng gave them five charms, and said: "The most important thing in the soul lock is the flesh that locks the spirit, so whoever you see them, just take this charm and stick it on their hearts, so that the spirit will be released, and the living corpse will become a dead corpse." ”
The horse monkey said, "It's not difficult, but Brother Feng, what about the spirit that was forced out?" Zhou Yuefeng said: "Don't worry about this for now, after the spirit comes out, the spiritual power of this thing will disappear, and I will clean up a simple spirit when the time comes." ”
