Chapter 322: Canglong
I'm obsessed with getting all the corpses out of that well. I want to find the thin man, find the fat man. Find the Sloppy Taoist. Find the mandrill, and even find the false reason. If you're lucky, you want to see if Wen Yu's soul is still there.
I'm like an unreasonable demon king now, forcing those workers to go down the mine, and then pulling the rope hard to pull the dead people up one by one.
This is a very remote wilderness, and there is no one for ten days and a half months. We were relieved to line up the corpses. Stack them neatly on the ground and identify them one by one.
A few of us stood by to observe the corpses. I heard the workers whispering: "Is this a mass grave?" I've heard that the Japanese buried a lot of people alive back then. The boss may have relatives buried inside, so be sure to find out. β
Another worker denied: "No. When did the Japs happen? It's been sixty or seventy years now, and these corpses haven't rotted yet? Behold, these people have died recently. β
Finally, he thoughtfully pointed it out: "What you said is not right. You see, these dead men are all wearing robes. It seems that it is a Taoist priest. I guess they let the dirty stuff die. β
The rest suddenly realized: "I look like it." Then they trembled and asked the man, "What filth can kill so many people?" β
The man thought for a moment, and suddenly said with a frightened face: "You say, will there be any monsters living at the bottom of this well?" Then these Taoist priests came in droves to kill, and they all died here. Our big boss doesn't believe in evil, and he also wants to fight monsters? β
When this man said this, the workers were immediately panicked. It was clear that they were planning to run away.
But as soon as they turned around, they saw me. Suddenly I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move.
The thin Taoist priest said beside me, "Once these people are put back. I'm definitely going to report the crime, it's going to be lively soon. β
I looked at the workers working at the well and said, "Just report the police, are we still afraid of the police?" I just hope to find their bodies. β
The thin Taoist priest said: "Xu You, you have Neidan in your body, I'm sure you're real." So, do you know who he is? I always had the feeling that he had no ill intentions. β
I shook my head: "I don't know who he is. Actually, I don't know who I am anymore. In the past few months, I have met a lot of people who look exactly like me. Without exception, they all died. By the way, you've been following the demon for so long, do you know what's going on? β
The thin Taoist priest shook his head: "The demon path is not clear. β
I let out a long sigh, "I thought I was the most ordinary one in the crowd. Quietly went from elementary school to university. Looking for a job, I have spent my whole life, but I didn't expect that my life is so exciting now. β
Wushuang walked over with a branch and said with a smile: "Xu You, this is your fate, your fate should be like this." β
A few of us were making small talk. Suddenly, the workers came running and reported: "Boss, those dead people have been dragged out, can we go?" β
I looked at him suspiciously: "All dragged out?" So fast? β
The worker was about to collapse: "Is this fast? We all worked two shifts for three days and three nights. Look at the dead people all over the hills......"
The workers are not lying, the place is already full of dead people. It's just that there aren't a few people I know. So, I was not reconciled and wanted to keep digging.
Wushuang patted me on the shoulder: "There are no them here, or, it just means that they are not dead." β
I nodded, "Makes sense." Hopefully they did get away with it. β
At this time, another worker came running up to me, and he said to me, "Boss, there's a big guy down there." β
After the worker finished speaking, the previous worker glared at him viciously: "What big guy? Sling the bull. Then he looked at me with a smile on his face: "Boss, there are no big guys, just some stones." We've dug through the soil and dug up the stones. β
The worker before said suspiciously, "It's just a big guy." Where is a stone, will the stone also glow? β
I listened to the words of these two workers and immediately understood.
A worker was more honest and found something unusual at the bottom of the well. And the other one, I'm afraid I'm worried about what kind of monster, so I want to leave early.
I looked at the abbot and the thin Taoist: "You two, one is good at it, and the other is good at it." You watch these workers up there, don't let them go. I'll go down and see what's going on. β
Wushuang said with some worry: "There shouldn't be any danger below, you better not go." β
I chuckled: "Those workers don't understand the situation and think there's a monster down there." How? Do you believe that? β
Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to go down with you." β
I looked at her, with a twig in her hand, her hair disheveled. I couldn't help but say, "Can you go down too?" Your serious injuries have not healed, so you should take care of them well. β
Wushuang shook his hand and threw the branch: "My injuries have long been healedβ΅ let's go down." β
Then, without waiting for me, she walked straight to the well.
I saw her staggering, as if she might fall at any moment, and I couldn't help but sigh, and quickly took two steps to hold her up.
We both had ropes tied around our waists and slowly roped down. It was dark underneath, but luckily we brought flashlights from the villagers' homes.
The well was normal at first, but when it got to the bottom. Gradually, there are many traces of manual excavation. The fracture is still new, and it should have been made by the workers with shovels just now.
There were human-shaped depressions in it, and it was conceivable that there were several groups of corpses standing neatly here just now.
When we finally reached the bottom of the well, we realized that it was surprisingly large. Or rather, it's not the bottom of the pit, it's more like the bottom of the valley.
Musou and I used a flashlight to shine a light around and didn't find anything unusual. The bodies were all removed, and all that remained was damp sludge.
Wushuang scratched his head and asked curiously, "What kind of glowing stones are they?" Where did it go? β
I thought about it for a moment and turned off the flashlight in my hand. Then he instructed Wushuang: "Turn off the lights, turn off the lights." β
When we turned off the flashlight, the bottom of the well didn't get dark. Instead, I could faintly see Mushuang's face.
There's a light source here. The two of us searched in the dark. Finally, we noticed that the dirt under our feet seemed to glow faintly.
I crouched down and dug through the dirt with my hands. Gradually, I felt more and more light, and by the end, the place had been completely illuminated.
My hand touched something hard. It's like a stone. I'm digging around this thing non-stop. Gradually, a shining dragon appeared underground.
It is a dragon carved out of stone. But it's clearly glowing.
Wushuang looked at the dragon and said in amazement, "What's going on?" β
I shook my head, my hand unconsciously reached out to stroke the dragon, and the cold stone suddenly became hot. I felt the blood flowing through it. And jumping and jumping, it seems to be the pulse of the dragon.
I retracted my hand in surprise, looked at Wushuang, and said, "This dragon seems to be alive." β
Wushuang blinked: "I can't." It's clearly carved out of stone. β
I was worried in my heart, looking at this dragon, I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, I felt like it was looking at me, too. That gaze was not friendly. But it seems to be full of anticipation.
Wushuang guessed next to me, "Is this the door to the underworld?" Could it be such a dragon carved out of stone? Does this dragon have any meaning? However, the dragon could not have been alive anyway. Dragons are legendary animals, how could they appear. β
I looked at the dragon in a daze and didn't speak. Then, as if I had lost my mind in something, I put my hand on the dragon's head.
Then, I saw a flower in front of my eyes, and it seemed that I had come to a strange world. There is chaos here, there is no sky or earth in sight. I sat cross-legged and reached out to touch the sky. I stood up, and the sky grew a little taller.
Then, an old voice came from behind me: "I saved your friend, how are you going to thank me?" β
