Chapter 60: Ancient Temples (Underground Caves)
Qiu Li couldn't reach Renyi on the phone, so she rushed into the kitchen instead, found the staff contact list posted on the wall, called Master Lichong, and then ran all the way to the dormitory.
When she arrived panting, they were walking downstairs, and she saw the bloodstained benevolence in Li Chong's arms, and thought she was late.
Renyi trembled and shook his fat face, and cried "wow" the moment he saw Qiu Li.
Seeing that Qiu Li had arrived, Li Chong said softly, "Master Qiu, come with me too." ”
His room was in the second building of the East Building, and it was a neighbor of the deceased abbot, and the appearance was exactly the same as the dormitory of Master Zhiguang that he saw today.
The inside of the house was unexpectedly large, the hall was full of books, all kinds of rune paper pasted, and the room was faintly fragrant with herbs.
"I'm also a little bit involved in herbal medicine." Chongli cleared the bloodstained coat from Renxin's body, took a cotton wool to wipe his wounds, he was unconscious, his face and body were covered with wounds, his face was pale, and only the slight rise and fall of his chest could still show that he was still alive.
Akiri saw that there were several wounds that were identical to those on the orange cat's neck.
The benevolence next to him has already told the whole story of the matter in 1510.
Li Chong sighed, "You are also lucky, you have met the ghost monk who patrols the night." ”
Qiu Li was stunned: "Ghost monk? ”
"About a hundred years ago, there was a legend in the temple that in the second half of every month, there would be ghost monks who patrolled the night in the temple, and some people would take away their souls when they met them, and some people would turn evil into good fortune when they met them."
"Most people think they're guarding the temple, and that's a bit true right now."
"Dripping" Qiuli's "professional game interface" suddenly popped up in a pop-up window:
[Discover the key clues, Chef Qiu Li gets 1,000 game points, cumulative game points: 39,600 points.] 】
Qiu Li was overjoyed in her heart, and she was one step closer to 40,000 points.
She thought of the monk she had seen in the back garden that night, and it seemed that he was not carrying the orange cat to kill it, but probably to save it from the bat's mouth.
"Rende is dead, what about Master Zhiguang who lives with him?" Qiu Li asked hesitantly.
Li Chong bandaged Renxin's wounds, applied medicine to Renyi, and sighed lightly: "Zhiguang is also dead." ”
At this time, even Renyi jumped up, "My master! How could he die? ”
"It's been about a few days since I died, and the corpses have already appeared corpse spots, just now I went to his room first, and then to Renyi, fortunately, there are ghost monks who appear, otherwise, I will be the murderer who indirectly killed them."
"But I saw him yesterday." Qiu Lixiang asked pretending to be puzzled.
Li Chong's expression was complicated, he glanced at Renyi beside him, and ordered in a low voice, "You go to the courtyard first." ”
Renyi walked out obediently, squatting at the gate of the courtyard and not daring to leave.
"Originally, this was the biggest secret of our temple, and I couldn't tell you, but ......" He looked down at the dying Renxin and turned his face to Akiri.
"I vaguely feel wrong."
Renxin, who was originally lying quietly on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of inky pupils stared at Li Chong with no expression on his face.
Akiri let out an exclamation, "Why are you awake?" ”
Li Chong's mind suddenly became confused, as if he had forgotten something, and he suddenly said: "It's getting late, Master Qiu, you go back first, let these two little monks live with me tonight." ”
Akiri looked at them, and she stopped talking, but she finally nodded, which is probably the sadness of the NPC.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, she reached out and touched the little fat man's round head, "You live here tonight, if you are uncomfortable tomorrow, don't come to the kitchen, have a good rest." ”
Renyi nodded, watched Qiu Li walk out, then closed the door with his backhand, walked in, he looked at Li Chong and asked, "Master, is my master really dead?" ”
Renxin didn't know when he closed his eyes again, and Li Chong nodded, "Life and death are fate, you should rest early." The door to the guest room was open, and there was a large bed inside, and he carried Ren Xin inside.
Turning into his bedroom, he stood in the doorway, his brain as if it was down, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, and every month he always had a few abnormal behaviors.
He looked at the various rune papers pasted in his bedroom, took out the futon, sat on it with his legs crossed, and slowly fell into silence.
Qiu Li walked to the west building alone, the door of Master Zhiguang's courtyard was hidden at the moment, she walked in, the door inside was open, and a monk was standing in the hall with his back to her.
She looked over, and the hall was in a mess, and countless dirt were piled up on the ground, and it seemed that the body had been transported, and after a while, another monk walked out, and he said as he went, "I have covered the entrance to this cave, and I will go, close the door." ”
The monk, who had his back to her, replied, "Bring everything with you." ”
Qiu Li put on the "invisible rag" and quickly flashed in, and after a while, two monks walked out with a bag of things, the lights went out, the door "snapped" shut, the key turned around, and after a while, the courtyard door was also closed.
The whole room was quiet.
Akiri's eyesight now doesn't need lights, and she can see clearly in the dark.
She carefully stepped on the towering dirt of the hall, following the footsteps of the original monk as much as she could, and when she reached the bedroom, a carpet with runes was spread in it, and she bent down to uncover a corner.
A hole suddenly appeared in front of me. I could faintly hear the sound of wind and water coming from below.
This person actually dug such a big hole here, Qiu Li looked at the dark passage below, no wonder he would bring Master Zhiguang back from the dead, only the bottom of his dormitory could lead directly to the dark river.
She removed the invisible rag, bent down, and stepped her foot down, the passage was almost vertical, and she couldn't use force, she took out a rope with a tiger's claw, grabbed the cave wall, and the other end of the rope hung down.
She was climbing down almost against the cave wall.
Ten minutes later, the rope came to an end, she looked down, took out the dagger and inserted it into the cave wall, shook off the tiger claw on the wall with the other hand, changed the focus point again, continued to fall along the rope, and finally stepped on the clearing, and a horizontal cave appeared in front of her.
There was almost no light here, and Akiri found that despite this, she could still see everything clearly, no wonder the Wind Eagle could hunt at night, and this vision was indeed remarkable.
The cave was so narrow that she had to bend down to move forward, and after nearly ten minutes of walking, she finally heard a clear sound of water.
Walking out of the cave, there is a high and wide underground cave, and the dark river below is flowing slowly, and stalactites hang on the top, dripping milky white water droplets from time to time.
She heard human voices, which were coming into her ears in the wind, and there were about five or six people, both male and female.
There's a boat in the underground river.
She lay on the top of the dark river and looked inside, where there was a faint light coming from the river, and a boat was sailing through the underground river.
She was attentive, and the wind carried the sound over, but they were going in the opposite direction to her, and before they could hear a few words, the sound was gone.
This group of people is a player, it sounds, several of them are in a group, and they came to the dungeon together to find something, and Akiri's hearing has also improved significantly, and the next time she meets them, Akiri thinks she can try to recognize their voices.
She stood up, looked at the underground cave in front of her, and calculated the approximate direction, Zhiguang's house was not far from the Black Tower, but the position of this horizontal cave opening instead shortened the distance from the Black Tower.
It's just that I don't know how Zhiguang was discovered by them and made into a puppet to hide from others.
Now that I think about it, this person appeared in front of everyone in the name of Zhiguang, and then hid in the dormitory on the grounds of being injured and did not come out, in order not to make others suspicious, he turned Rende into a puppet and delivered meals every day to hide people's eyes.
It's summer now, and Zhiguang's body is probably useless, so he refused to be visited by Qiuli and others.
Rende put a bat in their room, why is that? They need blood?
At first they only draw blood from animals, but from tonight onwards, they have made a move on humans.
Is it because of the urgency of time and the urgent need for a lot of blood?
