Chapter 21: The Cursed Beast III

I went out of the gate of the dart bureau with this officer, and he led me straight to the south of the city, and the two of us walked very fast, and after a while, we came to the south gate not far from the state office. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I thought he would take me into the state office, but when we arrived at the state government gate, he didn't stop.

I couldn't help but be a little strange, and said, "Shi Dart's body is not in the yamen?"

He said: "Gu Dart, we didn't bring Shi Dart's body back to the Yamen, Brother Huang said that he didn't want to startle the snake. ”

I said, "Then where did you find the body of the Historian?"

He said: "Python Mountain in the south of the city." ”

Python Mountain?

There is a low mountain outside the south of Chenzhou City, the mountain is covered by yellow rock, there are few trees, but the ground cover on the mountain is very prosperous. Trees, grasses, shrubs and thorns are everywhere on the mountain, but this python mountain is different, except for a few redwood trees growing under the mountain, the mountain is sticking to the rocks and soil is the ground cover dwarf grass that grows on the rocks. It's a view.

I said, "Do you know who carried the body of the master up the mountain?"

Shi Dart's death was very strange, and Huang Zhutou thought that Shi Dart Master had been hit by a curse, so Ren Qian would die. I've seen the corpse of Master Shi and I've seen the corpse of Ren Qizuo, and although they all think it's a curse, I still stick to my opinion. There are no ghosts and gods in this world, and things like cursing are just sideways on the rivers and lakes, and they are not believable.

People in the rivers and lakes believe in fists, not in this crooked way.

The officer did not answer me.

I didn't ask again.

The two of us went out of the south gate and traveled three miles to the southwest, and in the distance we saw the low mountain, the Python Mountain.

After going forward for two miles, the two of us came to the foot of Python Mountain.

Looking up at Python Mountain, the Huangyan on the mountain is lined up one after another, layer by layer, like a tower incense magnified countless times. The whole mountain is green and mist.

The official took me up the mountain, and I took a trail around the mountain, and the grass on the mountain was very wet, and it was easy for people to slip on it, so I had to walk on this mountain road. We walked along the mountain road to the side of Python Mountain, bypassing half of the mountain, and behind Python Mountain, I saw several officials halfway up the mountain. The first person is none other than Huang Zhutou.

We came to Huang Zhutou and they approached, Huang Zhutou pointed to the place a little higher than the halfway point of Python Mountain, and said, "Brother Gu, look." ”

I looked in the direction of his finger, but I saw a dark cave in the mist halfway up the mountain, and I said, "Where is the body of Master Shi in that cave?"

Huang Zhutou nodded and said, "The brothers in the yamen followed the clues left at the crime scene, found it all the way here, and found the body of Shi Dart Master in that cave. Let's go, I'll take you to see it. ”

After speaking, Huang Zhutou took out a branch and began to climb towards the entrance of the cave, the grass on the python mountain is very wet and slippery, and the slope is very steep, it is indeed a bit laborious to climb straight up. I supported my body with the long sword in my hand and followed behind Huang Zhutou.

When we reached the mouth of the cave, I smelled the stench of decay, and I looked into the cave, and sure enough, I saw the corpse of Master Shi at the entrance of the cave. There was a lot of blood on Shi Dart's body, the most blood on his face and mouth, the flesh on his body had begun to rot, there was some pus left in the wound on his face, and a group of insects and flies were flying on his stomach. There hadn't been much change in his body, except for the loss of his right ear, and the rest of his body was the same as it had been in the morgue.

I turned my head, couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and said, "Huang Zhutou, why don't you carry the body of Shi Dart Master down the mountain?"

Huang Zhutou said, "Brother Gu, look at Shi Dart's left foot bones and hands."

I was a little puzzled, but I looked at Shi Dart's left foot again, and the flesh below the knee on his left leg was gone, only a white bone with flesh sticking to the flesh remained, and the same was true on his foot, there was no flesh and skin, and his foot was full of mud. I chuckled inwardly, and looked at Shi Dart's hands again, only to see that his hands were covered with blood, his right hand clenched into a fist, and his left hand was half-open.

I frowned and said, "I didn't find anything wrong, what did Huang Zhutou want me to see?"

Huang Zhutou's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "Brother Gu, if I say that Ren Qizuo was killed by Shi Dart, can you believe it?"

I was startled and shouted, "Huang Zhutou, how can you say such a ridiculous thing?!"

The curse has not yet been clarified, and the head-lowering technique is only used on the living, and the corpse of the master is already mutilated, no matter how much Huang Zhutou believes in the curse technique, he should not believe that it is ridiculous for the master to kill Ren Cheng. Although I don't believe in the curse, even if I do, I just believe that Tao Qingfeng performed that kind of head-lowering technique and other side ways, and I have seen Gao Feng Crack and the five of them use the rotting corpse powder of the Ten Thousand Corpse Gate, and it is very likely that Tao Qingfeng used the strange elixir powder in the Ten Thousand Corpse Gate. Just like the Wudang Sect's Seven Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill, it can have a miraculous effect that revives people.

I didn't expect Huang Zhutou to say such a thing, the yamen pays attention to conclusive evidence, ironclad evidence, and what I believe in is justice and truth. But he was so good that he told me that Ren was killed by Master Shi.

Huang Zhutou muttered: "Brother Gu, in fact, I didn't mean to say such things, but inferred. ”

I was stunned and said, "How can you deduce that?"

Huang Zhutou said: "After the accident in the morgue, we were the first to arrive at the morgue, and the situation in the morgue was as you can see, but we found the footprints left by the murderer behind the morgue, and the footprints were only the footprints of one foot. ”

My heart was cold, and I felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water on my body. One footprint? The master has only one leg, one foot. The meaning of Huang Zhutou is obvious, and it is the Shi Dart Master who left a footprint behind the corpse.

Huang Zhutou said: "So I will send someone to investigate, probably at the moment when you came to the morgue." The footprints left by the murderer were very light and hidden, and it was difficult to find, but my brother still found them, and followed the footprints left by the murderer, all the way to the python mountain and this cave. ”

He paused, looked at me, and said, "I've sent someone to investigate the entrance of the cave, and we didn't find a second person's footprints other than the footprints of the master before we came. Moreover, the footprints left on the way from the corpse to Python Mountain are the same size as the size of Shi Dart's left foot. ”

I was a little moved, if Huang Zhutou inferred like this, Shi Dart Master was indeed suspicious, but I still didn't believe it, and said: "I said: "But there are many disabled people in the city, and the murderer may have carried Shi Dart's body to this place on one leg." ”

Huang Zhutou said: "Then the dart master has flesh and blood left in his hands and mouth, what is the explanation?"

At this time, it was drowsy on the python mountain, the sun had sunk in the west, and the mist was moist and cold on me. I shuddered.

I didn't speak. Huang Zhutou looked at the sky and said, "Let's wait at the bottom of the mountain, it's getting dark, and we'll know tonight." ”

My heart was pounding, and there was an inexplicable sense of fear in my heart at this time, which was even heavier than when I saw Ma Qianli turn into a vampire old demon. I didn't dare to look at Shi Daoshi again, and followed Huang Zhutou down the mountain.

The early autumn season was very late, and by the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dark. Huang Zhutou brought six state officials, including me and Huang Zhutou, a total of eight people. The eight of us hid under a small patch of redwood trees at the foot of Python Mountain.

I don't know how long I waited, but the fog on Python Mountain has dissipated, and the moon has been in the sky. Although the sky is dark, but through the moonlight, some scenes can still be faintly seen on the python mountain.

It was quiet, and there were bursts of chirping in the grass from time to time, and even some insects were constantly flying around the head.

"Smack"

I stretched out my hand to kill a small insect and looked at the Yellow Catcher, but I saw that the Yellow Catcher didn't care about these small insects, their eyes were fixed on the mouth of the Python Mountain Cave, and their bodies were very quiet. Squatting like this is extremely common for them.

My body was damp and a little cool, and I whispered, "How long will I wait?" ”

Huang Zhutou said: "I don't know, judging from the time of Ren Yanzuo's death, it should be the time of the child, and the calculation time is almost up." ”

I nodded, and said no more.

After about half an hour, I gradually became a little sleepy, and I was used to going to bed early in Chenzhou City, and I was a little listless. On the other hand, Huang Zhutou and the others were in full spirit, and their faces did not lose the slightest tiredness. Huang Zhutou often patrols at night, and Chenzhou City can be so stable, most of which is inseparable from their scrupulous observance. If I hadn't joined the Iron Sword Sect at the beginning, I would probably have joined the Yamen and become a little catcher like Huang Zhutou and them, right?

I couldn't help laughing, if I had really become a catcher, with my dull head, I was afraid that it would make those officials head very troubled.

He was thinking about it in his head, when Huang Zhutou whispered, "It's here!"

My heart tightened, and I hurriedly looked up the mountain.

In the moonlight, I saw that the entrance to the cave on the mountain was shining with a red shimmer, and the red light flickered and flickered, and we were at the foot of the mountain at this time, and we could not hear any sound. The red light flickered a dozen times, and suddenly dimmed, and then a huge black shadow suddenly walked out of the cave and appeared at the entrance of the cave.

I almost exclaimed, my cold hairs stood on end, my heart was so cold that I couldn't say a word.

But I saw that halfway up the mountain, the black shadow stood for a moment, and suddenly its body jumped, and it was about to go down the mountain, but who knew that it jumped, and when it landed on the hillside, one did not stand firmly, and fell down the hillside when it landed, and slid down the hillside.

At this time, Huang Zhutou snorted lightly and said, "Go!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed towards the figure, and I and the remaining six servants did not hesitate, and rushed forward after Huang Zhutou. The figure slid down fast, and we weren't slow, and by the time we rushed out of the woods, it had slid to the bottom of the hill. (To be continued.) )
