Chapter Ninety-Five: A Jigsaw Puzzle?
Wang Youcai came to the bottom of the mountain early, and according to the instructions of the insect ancestor, he saw that it was getting late, and he roughly estimated it in his heart, so he climbed up to the last section of the road and knocked on the door of the knife view.
"Is the fairy chief here?"
At this time, it was also the time when Cao An and his entourage were preparing to go to Wangzhuang, the front and back were about the same, the old dog's driving speed was getting faster and faster, there was no need to go there and wait, and it was completely possible to pinch the time from here.
It's just that I didn't expect that at this time, someone actually came to the door.
"You are?" Daoqing came forward, and there were a lot of people who came to the knife recently, and the little Daoqing seemed to be a lot happier.
"I am a person from Wang Zhuang, and the king has wealth."
When Xiao Daoqing heard this, he was immediately happy, "Uncle Cao, it's Wang Zhuang who is here." ”
Cao An packed up his things and stepped forward, "Are you from Wang Zhuang?" What's the matter? ”
"I'm Wang Wu's father."
Wang Youcai only said such a sentence, which was enough to attract Cao An's attention, the insect ancestor ordered a lot of things, and Wang Youcai, in addition to being cowardly, was far smarter than Wang Dafu.
Cao An nodded, "Say, what do you have to do." ”
"I know that the village chief doesn't trust the immortal chief, but I believe that I came this time to tell the immortal chief a secret, a secret that Wang Dafu and the village chief don't know, and ask the immortal chief to help Wang Zhuang get out of the sea of suffering and avenge my son.
Wang Youcai said as he knelt in front of Cao An.
"You get up and speak, what secrets are there that your village chief doesn't know." Cao An looked at the sky, he was not in a hurry, there was time.
"Then Wang Dafu and they should have told the immortal chief, the stone mine was the first to be discovered by my son Wang Wu, but they only knew about the stone mine, but they didn't know that the place where Wu'er first discovered it was not there, it was at the other end, there was a cave there, and Wu'er accidentally strayed there."
Cao An frowned slightly, "What's in there?" ”
"I've been to see it, there's a coffin inside, a transparent coffin, it's cold to the touch, it looks like it's made of ice, there's a person lying in it, it looks exactly like the man-eating monster, there are paintings on the stone wall, and most of the stone wall is painted, and I don't understand a lot of things."
"The only thing I understand is that there are stones buried in several places, there will be treasures after opening the stones, and God helped that day, it happened to rain heavily, and one of the places where the stones were buried collapsed, I tried, and really opened a piece of dog's head gold, I also knew that I couldn't hide it, so I let Wu'er tell a lie, and you will know the things that will happen later."
"Why don't you tell the village chief about the cave?"
The man's face turned red, and he looked a little ashamed, and a little guilty, "Because there were several boxes of gold in it, I was obsessed with money at the time, I thought that I would use the stone mines in that place to lure the people in the Zhuangzi and quietly transfer the gold myself, so that when the time comes, the family will move directly to the big city to live, and I don't have to worry about it for the rest of my life." ”
"But who would have thought that in just a few days, Wu'er was eaten by that monster, the village chief they had no way to take that thing, and they didn't dare to go to the city for help, so they could only wait for death, last night, many people died in the village, originally they thought that there would be five or six deaths at most in one night, but last night a dozen people died in a row, and if it goes on like this, who knows how many people will die tonight."
Thinking of his mother's affairs, Wang Youcai burst into tears, but also feared and afraid, which seemed to Cao An like a person who lost his beloved son and was afraid of death, only the old dog Ah Huang looked at the man in front of him, and the dog's face wrinkled together.
"Youcai begs the immortal chief to take action, avenge my son, kill the monster, and calm the chaos for Zhuangzi, as long as the immortal chief makes a move, I am willing to divide the three...... and half of the gold of the cave was given as a reward. ”
Wang Youcai hesitated, probably wanted to say Sancheng or something else before, but he directly added half of it later, but he didn't care about this Cao An.
At that moment, I subconsciously asked: "Where is the cave?" ”
"If I take the immortal chief forward, will I just burn the corpse in the coffin and solve the trouble?"
"Burned?" Cao An glanced at Wang Youcai strangely, he himself still has no clue, but it is certain that the Nian Sword does not know what energy is contained in it, and it does have a restraining effect on that monster, and after studying it for a day, he has not been able to study it, and only came to the conclusion that a Nian Sword can kill him.
"In the past, if there was a corpse or something like that, the old people would ask us to burn it directly, so that this kind of thing would not happen again."
"Let's go there and see it first, Ah Huang!"
The old dog stepped forward and bit Cao An's trouser leg, and after getting along for so long, Cao An immediately understood what the old dog meant.
"You wait here for me for a moment."
After speaking, he followed the old dog into the side hall of the Taoist temple, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”
"He lied!"
Cao Anxin moved, the old dog took the route of listening to the truth, and could discern people's hearts, not long after he had just practiced, although he could not reach the realm of omniscience and omniscience, but it was not a problem to simply distinguish lies.
"Is it all fake?"
"No, there are true and false, and the little demon can't fully judge, this instinctive little demon hasn't fully mastered it, just tell the master first, beware of this man, what he said, there is moisture, don't believe it all."
Cao An nodded, "I understand, let's go, it's only a quarter of an hour, follow him first to see if the so-called stone cave really exists, and then go to Zhuangzi, this time, we will sneak directly into Zhuangzi." ”
A man and a dog walked out of the side hall, the breeze rose again, closed the door of the Taoist temple, and took three people and a dog to follow Wang Youcai's guidance directly to the cave in his mouth, the cave was on the other side of the mountain, that is, the back of Wang Zhuang, almost a quarter of an hour, when he arrived there, the sun was slanting westward, and most of the sun was still exposed on the distant mountain.
Calculate the time, it's still in time, just right!
After landing on the ground, Wang Youcai looked around, and suddenly pointed to the mountain wall in front of him.
"Right there!"
Cao An looked in the direction of his finger, there was clearly a mountain wall, where was there a stone cave?
"Where is the cave you are talking about?"
"Yes, there is a bracket on the side, which Wu'er accidentally triggered and entered." As he spoke, he took the first step, came to the front of the mountain wall, hid the things in his hand in the palm of his hand without a trace, and pressed it against the depression, with a soft sound, the mountain wall really opened a gap, but this scene that he thought he had done was extremely secret, but it did not escape Cao An's eyes.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "You go in first!" ”
Wang Youcai nodded, taking the first step, "Just follow me, it's dark here, and your feet are slippery, so please be careful." ”
Cao An hesitated for a moment, followed behind him, the ground was really as he said, it should be because of the low terrain, from the entrance of the stone cave to the main hall, a long section of stone steps were covered with moss, slippery and difficult to walk.
It wasn't until he came to the main hall that he saw the light, the middle of the dome, inlaid with a bright night pearl, the whole hall illuminated, as he said, the four sides of the hall, are scattered with boxes of gold and silver jewelry, above the main hall, eight chains tied to a transparent coffin, inside lies a corpse exactly like the person he saw last night.
The bright red robe, the face is handsome, the face is pale, and there is no life at all.
The whole hall is on all sides, evenly divided into sixteen dragon pillars, the whole body is pitch black, I can't see what material is poured, there is no trace of carving on it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is poured, it should be poured directly after the mold.
"This is it, Immortal Chief, look at it, there are paintings everywhere on these stone walls, look at it, is there a way to kill that monster?"
Cao An touched his chin with one hand and stepped forward, the stone wall was dry, compared to the dampness outside, it was like two places, which was a little strange, because it was dry, the stone wall was very well preserved, except for some dust, there was almost nothing unclear, or falling off.
There are paintings on the four walls!
It's just that the first one is disordered, Cao An tested it with his sword, and found that the stones of the mural could be moved, but only one could be moved at a time.
"Huh? Jigsaw puzzles? ”
