Chapter 19: The Beast of the Curse I
Huang Zhutou and I walked in front, Yang Chong and the official followed, and I said, "Does Huang Zhutou believe in the existence of the curse technique?"
Huang Zhutou looked at the sky, nodded slightly, and said, "Actually, to be honest, I once received a case about the curse technique. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I was surprised and said, "Have you seen it?"
Huang Zhutou said: "That was a few years ago, there was a family of six in Chenzhou, and I don't know what the reason was, all of them died mysteriously for six consecutive days, one person died a day, and the deaths were different, and they were miserable." Lord Zhizhou sent me to investigate this matter, and I led people to investigate for more than half a month, but I didn't find any clue. Later, someone said that the family was cursed, but I didn't know if it was a curse, but then everyone else called it that, and I called it that. ”
I said, "Where is it?
Huang Zhutou shook his head and said, "In Wugu Village." ”
Wugu Village?
I chuckled inwardly. Wugu Village is located in the west of Chenzhou, a village at the foot of the outer mountains of the North and South Mountains, and it is a necessary place to pass from Guiyang Jian to Chenzhou. Shi Dart Master also had to pass through Wugu Village when he returned from Guiyang Prison.
I said, "Could it be that Master Shi has mastered the curse technique in Wugu Village?"
Huang Zhutou shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." I was also surprised by this incident, and when I first heard Brother Yang talk about the curse, I thought of the curse tragedy that happened in Wugu Village. ”
At this time, we walked to the door of the dart game, and we stopped together. Huang Zhutou looked at the sky and said, "Brother Gu, go back first, I have to report this matter to the yamen." ”
I said, "It's okay, then I won't send it." ”
Huang Zhutou said: "I hope this curse technique is not true, I will leave." ”
He arched his hand at me, and I replied, "Farewell." ”
Huang Zhutou left with the officer, and Yang Chong and I also walked to the door of the dart bureau, when the sun was setting and the sky was already sinking. At the door, Zhu Kui and Qian Pinyan were whispering something, and when they saw us coming, the two of them said hello to me, and Qian Pinyan smiled: "Dart, you're back." ”
I said, "Are the brothers all in there?"
Qian Pinyan smiled and said, "I'm waiting for the dart inside." Then he lowered his voice and said, "Darthead, is the Western Regions Curse Technique ......?"
I glared at him and said, "Hugh is going to talk nonsense, where is the curse?!"
Qian Pinyan's body trembled, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I'm just curious." ”
"Guard the gates, and don't let anyone in. ”
Shi Sancun's death is bizarre, I don't know what to say to Qian Pinyan. The curse is too weird, and I don't want to cause panic in their hearts.
We walked into the dart game, the dart game was a little quiet, and the most lively brothers in Chenzhou City on weekdays also lost their laughter, although only a dozen of them had seen Tao Qingfeng and those big men's strange appearance, but when they heard the art of the Western Regions and saw the tragic death of Shi Dart, many people's faces still changed.
This time, Shi Dart Master escorted the dart to Guiyang Prison and brought more than 20 brothers, and now only Shi Dart's own body has been found, and I think that the more than 20 brothers are also very lucky. This is something that has never happened in a game of darts.
In the front hall, the three Baili disciples were talking, and when they saw us coming, the Baili disciples asked, "Brother Gu, has Huang Zhutou ever found out how Shi Dart Master died?"
As soon as he spoke, everyone gathered around, looking at me one by one, waiting for me to reply.
I shook my head and told the autopsy results, but after I finished speaking, I saw that Baili disciples' faces were gloomy, and Baili disciples said: "Could it be that Shi Dart Master really fell into some kind of curse technique in the Western Regions?"
I said: "Brother Baili, it's too early to say this, don't jump to conclusions, Huang Zhutou has ordered someone to investigate this matter, let's not speculate here." ”
Baili disciple said: "But where can Huang Zhutou find out about this kind of thing, have you forgotten that on the way back from us, how can the people brought by Tao Qingfeng not be killed?"
I said, "Brother Baili also thinks that Master Shi has been cursed?"
Baili nodded and did not speak.
I was speechless for a while, and I thought of Tao Qingfeng and his party. I still wonder about the abnormality of Tao Qingfeng's group of people, if Tao Qingfeng's people really fell into the head-lowering technique, then the curse does exist. I'm afraid that's what Baili Tu thinks in his heart at this time, right? But we've only seen the "head lowering technique" that Yang Chong said in his mouth once, if we only make a presumptuous judgment because of this time, we can't help but be a little unreasonable, and we haven't even seen that curse technique, where can we talk about believing it?
He Yun nodded and said, "The official family's handling of the case is ironclad evidence, if the master of the dart is really hit by the curse technique, it is difficult for Brother Jin Dao to find out any clues." Don't hide the dart, I also think that the dart master has fallen for the curse. ”
Jindao is the name of Huang Zhutou, and Huang Zhutou is called Huang Jindao.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was some pandering from outside the front hall. I looked at He Yun and was a little surprised, I didn't expect that he also believed in the curse technique, and it seemed that a large number of the brothers in the dart game also seemed to think that Shi Dart Master had been cursed.
After pondering for a moment, I said, "Now that everyone is dead, don't think about the curse technique anymore, let's wait and see, maybe Huang Zhutou will have a clue." ”
At this time, Yang Chong said: "Dart, I'm afraid it won't be so simple at this time." ”
My heart suddenly overflowed with inexplicable irritability, but I still patiently asked, "What does Master Yang mean by this?"
Yang Chong said: "The curse technique is not trivial, it is different from the head lowering technique. As I said before, the master of the dart fell into the curse of Hanmu's debt-seeking, and once this curse comes to the door, someone will definitely die. ”
Then, Yang Chong paused, and said with a gloomy face: "Master Shi is here to look for debts!"
There were already a lot of brothers outside the front hall, and the curse that Baili disciple and He Yun said had already attracted the attention of the brothers in the dart game, and Yang Chong's words made an uproar outside the front hall.
I was startled, stood up abruptly, and shouted, "Hugh is going to talk nonsense!"
I said this very loudly, Yang Chong and their bodies trembled, and even the many brothers outside the hall were speechless, and they all looked at me.
Looking around, everyone's faces were ugly, Tao Qingfeng's obstruction and Shi Daoshi's tragic death made them worry about this in just one day.
The more I looked at it, the more angry I became, and I said loudly: "Brothers, Shi Dart Master was killed by someone, not under some curse, please brothers don't believe these absurd words! Shi Dart Master died in vain, we must find the murderer and seek justice for the dead Shi Dart Master!"
My words still had some influence, and the brothers in the dart game nodded their heads in agreement.
"Brothers, go and get busy, this matter will definitely come to light. ”
I turned to Zhou Huaiyuan and said, "Uncle Zhou, go and prepare for feeding." ”
Zhou Huaiyuan responded, turned around and ran towards the back kitchen. I was in no mood to talk to them about the curse, and I didn't want to talk about it again, so I went to my room after a few words of reassurance from my brother in the dart board. No matter how the dart master died, but the dart game can't be messed up because of this incident, if it is messed up at this time, then the business in the dart game will not have to be done. Walking through the martial arts training venue alone, for some reason, I felt a burst of coolness. It's just that these dart masters who have been with me for a year seem to be getting farther and farther away from me.
After dinner, the dart game was as usual, led by the dart master to practice, and today it was He Yun's turn to take all the dart board guys to practice marksmanship. Darts are hard, no effort is impossible, not only the dart masters must have a thick foundation, but ordinary guys also have two brushes. The so-called strong soldiers and strong horses can win battles, and the same is true for darts.
After everyone dispersed, they went back to their rooms to rest, and the dart game gradually quieted down. I watched the shadow chasing sword in my room for a long time, my mind was messy, the death of the master was too sudden, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. Returning the Shadow Chaser to the shelf, I blew out the candle.
......
I don't know why, I didn't sleep very well all night, I was in a daze, I didn't seem to wake up, and when I got up, my head was groggy.
I walked out of the room, it was getting dark, and my brothers in the game were already busy. Uncle Zhou brought me breakfast, I simply ate some and came to the front hall, as usual, to sort out some dart slips, but this time to sort out a lot of dart lists. Most of these darts are old orders that have been received in the past, and there will be a single for every dart in the dart game, if the brother who came out of the dart returns safely, it is easy to say, if there is an accident or death in the middle, it will be quite laborious.
If I was injured in an accident while playing a dart, the man in charge of the dart board would make a tick and submit it to Uncle Zhou for review, and with my consent, I would give the injured brother more taels of silver at the end of the month. However, if you die by a dart, it will be much more troublesome. Every time a dart is played, the brothers who follow the dart have a nomination record, what dart they are playing, where they are going, and who the leader of the dart is, all of which must be recorded, in order to facilitate the distribution of monthly services and the pacification of money after death. Once a person has died, the stewardship will look through the dart slip to check the number of darts played by the deceased brother, count them one by one, and then send the consolation money to the family of the deceased brother. The brothers in the dart game have been in different lengths of time, and so many people have died at once in these two darts, and there are naturally a lot of people to check the dart list, and it is even more troublesome to calculate the comfort money. And such things must also be sorted out by me, the head of the dart.
There are a lot of dart slips to sort out, and the abacus in the front office is ringing non-stop.
I was facing the dart with Uncle Zhou, and suddenly, a servant ran at the door of the dart bureau, shouting as he ran: "Gu Darthead, something is wrong!"
I was taken aback, put down the dart in my hand, greeted him, and said, "What happened?"
The officer's face was panicked, and he said, "Shi Dart's body is gone, let him be his ......."
"What?"
I was taken aback, and before he could finish, I asked urgently, "What's wrong with him?"
The official looked frightened and said, "Ren Cheng has been cursed and died." Brother Huang asked me to call you, let's go and take a look!"
