17 Blood pools
Seeing that the host of the Zhichen Nunnery ended up like this, Sister Yue couldn't help but gasp, since the mastermind of this case is dead, wouldn't the truth be annihilated from now on? At that moment, she held the last glimmer of hope, and bowed to Zhu Ruoyu, the head of the Emei Sword Sect, and asked respectfully: "See Zhu Zhangmen, below is Yue Yingqiu, the head catcher of the Jiazhou Mansion Yamen, who came to Emei Mountain this time, but was ordered to investigate the case of the disappearance of tourists on Emei Mountain for a hundred years. \\ Ten thousand volumes, the full text is hand-typed and debuted\\ I waited for the nuns in the nunnery to interrogate, and it has been determined that the mastermind behind this case is the host of the dust nunnery, but now she has been defeated under the sword of Zhu Zhangmen. I wonder if Master Zhu had asked her about the case before the battle?"
Who knew that she asked this respectfully, but Zhu Ruoyu ignored it, as if she didn't see Sister Yue at all. I saw Zhu Ruoyu stepping into the backyard by himself, and slowly asked the nuns who were restrained, "Who is Deci?" As soon as the words fell, the old nun who had been pulled out by Shang Buqi for questioning replied: "Poor nun...... The poor nun is the virtue of mercy. Zhu Ruoyu glanced at her coldly, and said lightly: "What you have planned, Jianxin has already explained everything. Then you will take us there. ”
When the old nun heard this, she trembled and was a little overwhelmed. Seeing this, everyone present thought that Zhu Ruoyu must have learned something from the host of the Dust Stopping Nunnery, so he asked the old nun to lead the way. Seeing that the old nun was so frightened that she stood on the spot, Na Feng Ruo smiled and said: "Master Deci, the sins committed by the presiding officer of your temple can be described as full of evil. In today's one-on-one battle, she died under the Dinghai sword of the head of my Emei Sword Sect, Zhu, and she also deserved it. Now, if you are willing to cooperate with us and obey the orders of Master Zhu, the sins on your body can be dealt with lightly. ”
The old nun came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Ruoyu a few times, and said, "The poor nun is guilty, please ...... Please come with me. After that, she should lead the way first and walk towards the back of the Guanyin Hall, followed by Zhu Ruoyu. Na Feng Ruofu hurriedly beckoned Guan Ruofu to go with the "Six Great Sword Messengers", and ordered the other Emei Sword Sect disciples to stay in the backyard and continue to guard the nuns in the nunnery.
Sister Yue saw that Zhu Ruoyu ignored herself, and she was also a little embarrassed for a while. Xie Yixiang immediately glanced at her, signaling her to follow behind the people of the Emei Sword Sect, and she followed with Xian Jingyue, Shang Buqi and the two monks of Lingyun Mountain. It turns out that behind this Guanyin hall, there is a locked small door on the backyard wall, the old nun takes the key to open the lock, and leads everyone through the small door, and there is a deserted path leading to the mountain in front of her; because this path starts outside the backyard of the dust hermitage, the tourists who climb the mountain cannot walk here at all, so it seems extremely secret. Everyone followed the old nun up the hill along the path, and after about a meal, they came to the end of the path, which was a flat mountain wall covered with vineman, and through the gap of vineman, it was faintly visible that a big "Buddha" word was carved on the mountain wall. In front of this mountain wall, there is a relatively empty flat land, about five or six zhang square, according to the old nun, this is the place where the nuns in the nunnery do their morning classes on weekdays.
When everyone had reached this flat land along the path, the old nun walked to a corner under the mountain wall, stretched out her hand to brush away the thick vine man, and suddenly revealed a cave of a height of a few feet. Who knew that with the old nun brushing away the vine man to expose the cave, there was a very strong smell of blood in the cave, which was so smoked that everyone couldn't open their eyes, Xie Yixiang, Xian Jingyue, Shang Buqi and Sister Yue were all used to seeing blood, although they felt a little uncomfortable, but they could barely bear it, but the group of the Emei Sword Sect and the two monks of Lingyun Mountain were clearly unable to bear the game, and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses, and two of the "six sword messengers" vomited on the spot.
Everyone was horrified, and they didn't know what kind of terrifying scene was in this cave, and there was such a strong smell of blood, presumably because they were covered by the thick vines on the mountain wall on weekdays, so that this smell of blood could not be seen. Zhu Ruoyu frowned deeply, took out a silk scarf to cover his mouth and nose, and asked the old nun to lead the way into the cave, and everyone also drew a gourd, covered their mouth and nose and entered the cave accordingly. But a distance of ten paces, this cave is at the end, the inside is extremely empty, can accommodate twenty or thirty people, around the stone wall there are four lanterns, reflecting a purple-black pool two feet square on the ground. When everyone walked to the edge of the pool, they felt the smell of blood rushing to their faces, and they could distinguish what kind of water was the purple-black liquid in the "pool", which was clearly full of human blood, but an out-and-out "blood pool".
Seeing this scene in front of them, and then thinking of the lonely tourists who disappeared on Mount Emei for hundreds of years, it is naturally the origin of this blood pool, and everyone couldn't help but curse, I really don't know how these nuns who eat fasting and chant Buddha in the dust hermitage have such a vicious heart. Zhu Ruoyu immediately asked the old nun, "What is the use of this blood pool?" The old nun shook her head vigorously and said: "The poor nun really doesn't know, I only know that the previous hosts brought the captured tourists here to bleed, let their blood flow into the pool, and must wait until the blood flows clean before letting the poor nun throw the body into a hole outside." Other than that, the poor nuns really don't know anything. ”
Hearing the old nun's answer, everyone present was furious, and the eldest sister Yue was angry, so she slapped the old nun on the spot and asked sharply: "How can this be true! What do you mean by losing your conscience like you?" The others were also indignant and questioned the old nun one after another. The old nun was so frightened that she lay on the ground and kept kowtowing, looking at her appearance, I really didn't know the reason.
At that moment, everyone discussed in the cave, and they all agreed that this blood pool was not simple, but they were afraid that there was something terrifying hidden in the pool. That Zhu Ruoyu groaned for a while, and ordered: "Clear this blood pool and see what is down there." But Shang Buqi next to him suddenly said: "If I guess correctly, there should be a baby under this blood pool." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Shang Buqi with a suspicious face, and asked how there could be any baby in such a pool of blood? And why did this Beiping God Catcher not give up so guess? Zhu Ruoyu glared at Shang Buqi even more meaningfully, and asked slowly: "How do you know?" Shang Buqi sneered and said disdainfully: "I guessed. Is it also illegal to guess?" Zhu Ruoyu stared at him silently for a while, and finally was speechless, then turned his head and walked towards the outside of the cave, telling Feng Ruoyu to find someone to empty the blood pool.
Xie Yixiang and Sister Yue were also curious about why Shang Buqi said this, and hurriedly asked him, but unexpectedly, Shang Buqi had an unfathomable look on his face, pretending to sneer mysteriously: "When Zhu Ruoyu empties this blood pool, he will naturally know whether my guess is right or not, why do you need to force me now?"
It is said that it is not easy to empty this blood pool, in fact, it is not an easy task, if you take a wooden barrel to fill it, firstly, you don't know the depth of this blood pool, and secondly, the heavy smell of blood in the cave is also a little unbearable. Moreover, it was inconvenient to publicize this matter in the dust hermitage, so he didn't dare to ask the local people for help, so he could only rely on the disciples of the Emei Sword Sect to do it himself. In the end, he came up with a way to tell his disciples to go to the nunnery to cut a few long bamboos, open up all the bamboo joints in them, and then bundle them together with oilcloth to make a bamboo pipe five or six zhang long. Then he asked his disciples to insert one end of the bamboo pipe into the depths of the blood pool in the cave, rely on the flexibility of the bamboo to bend it out, and pass the other end of the bamboo pipe through the flat ground outside the cave, until it reaches the path below.
After everything was ready, Feng Ruofu took a few deep breaths with his mouth on the path below, and the air pressure in the bamboo pipe tightened, and the blood in the blood pool in the cave suddenly drained out along the bamboo pipe, and all of them flowed to the path below.
Just when the people of the Emei Sword Sect were busy draining the blood pool, the two monks of Lingyun Mountain were already sitting cross-legged on the flat ground outside the cave, and recited the scriptures by themselves, saying that they wanted to overtake the souls in the cave. Sister Yue and the others asked the old nun to lead the way, and when they finally saw the bodies of those missing tourists, they were shocked on the spot.
