Chapter 071: Dry corpses in the house

Zhong Sheng sighed: "I am a young monk, and I have returned full of sideburns, and you are the one who has the most pain......

"Survive so ......far," the juggler sighed, didn't cough anymore, and his complexion improved a lot, but his eyes were still blank.

"Ahh

"There are ghosts in the house, there are ghosts!" Lotus Ye trembled and kept chanting.

"Senior, you are here looking at the lotus leaf, let's go take a look!" Yang Ye stood up with the knife and walked in front, Zhong Sheng took the horse lantern in the hand of the lotus leaf, and the iron furnace followed closely with a vigilant grip on the steel gun.

Walking to the second room in the backyard, seeing that there were three dead people who had dried up, Yang Ye beckoned, and Zhong Sheng hurriedly went to hold the lamp for him.

"What do you think?" Zhong Sheng asked.

Yang Ye frowned and said, "The three dead were all ordinary people, they could have been killed with one move, why did they stab dozens of times?" Yang Ye pointed to the hole in the deceased's clothes.

"Looking at the places where the clothes were punctured, only two or three were fatal injuries, which should be vendettas, and the other wounds should be caused by persecution of the deceased, and it seems that the perpetrator wants something. Zhong Sheng analyzed.

"It's still half a day's journey from Xiangyang City, there should be other people who spend the night here, but the body doesn't seem to have moved, hasn't anyone found it?" Yang Ye looked around the house again, and didn't find anything else suspicious.

A rat sprang out and climbed up the beam along the pillar, and was stabbed by the iron furnace steel gun with a tom sound, and the dust and sand particles on the roof fell off a few people, Yang Ye patted the ash on his body and said lightly: "Good marksmanship......" The iron furnace smirked.

Zhong Sheng raised the horse lantern high and said to Yang Ye, "Can you jump on the beam of the house and take a look?"

This is a partial room, the roof is not high, Yang Ye nodded and jumped on the beam: "The light is too dark to see anything, come and see tomorrow at dawn." ”

"Iron furnace, hand the lantern to Brother Yang. Zhong Sheng still wanted to see if there were any other clues.

The iron furnace used the steel gun head to hold the horse lantern in Zhong Sheng's hand, and Zhong Sheng was afraid of falling to the ground and did not dare to let go.

Tie Lu smiled confidently: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, I play with the craft of this lamp every day!"

Zhong Sheng slowly let go of the horse lantern, the iron furnace gently picked it up with the head of the gun, the horse lamp flew to the roof like wings, the iron furnace quickly pressed the tip of the gun against the base of the horse lantern, and the horse lamp was so stable that the flame did not flicker too much.

Zhong Sheng found that this roof was a bit strange, the herringbone fork pillars on both sides of the flat beam were actually made of different materials, one side was a bowl thick cedar, and the other side was actually a bamboo pole about the same thickness as the fir wood.

"Brother Yang, can you take off the fork post of that bamboo tube?" Zhong Sheng pointed to the bamboo fork pillar.

Yang Ye quickly swung two knives, jumped over to catch the severed fork pillar and jumped down, the iron furnace withdrew the steel gun, and the horse lantern fell steadily in his palm again.

Zhong Sheng lowered his head and knocked back and forth on the bamboo fork pillar like knocking on the door, beckoning the iron furnace to bring the horse lantern closer.

"This section is cut and then patched up, although there is no trace of the patch, but there is a crack in the sound......" Zhong Sheng pointed to the section of bamboo pipe and looked at Yang Ye.

Whooring twice, before Zhong Sheng could react, Yang Ye cut off both ends of the bamboo pole, Zhong Sheng looked at Yang Ye with fear, thinking that if this accidentally cut me, this hand would be useless.

"Don't move, I'll come by myself, you're too unruly, it's not good if you damage the things inside......" Zhong Sheng picked up the cut bamboo pipe and shook it, there was nothing shaking in it at all, could he have misjudged?

"Two brothers, can we go out first, I'm a little panicked!" Iron Furnace has always pretended to be calm, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is still a little timid when he sees the dried corpse in front of him.

"Are you afraid? Do you know that when you go to the battlefield with me in the future, it will be in a private heap!" Yang Ye actually didn't want to go to the battlefield with an iron furnace, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be safe and sound every time he went on an expedition.

"I ...... I'm not afraid of the dead, I'm ...... I'm afraid of ghosts......" The iron furnace pestle straightened his back with the steel spear.

"Brother Yang, borrow your dagger. ”

Yang Ye handed the dagger over, Zhong Sheng took the dagger and carefully pried open the glued opening, which was stuffed with a bamboo tube of linen, the cloth was wrapped in many layers, and the burlap was opened layer by layer, and two sentences were written on each layer: "Jiuli monstrous mound, take the ode to the deer." ”

"Painstakingly getting this bamboo pole, there are only these two sentences in it?" Zhong Sheng said to himself incredibly.

"It's really incomprehensible!" Yang Ye said with a frown.

Zhong Sheng stuffed his fingers into the inner wall of the bamboo tube and touched it, his eyebrows and eyes wrinkled as if he had touched something, and he looked inside the bamboo tube next to the lantern, and the inner wall of the bamboo tube was actually pasted with a circle of brown and yellow cowhide, which looked no different from the color of the bamboo tube.

"I've seen the terrain of various countries since I was a child, show me!" Yang Ye took the cowhide map.

"Where can you see?" Zhong Sheng asked.

"I haven't seen ......" Yang Ye shook his head and asked again, "What do these two sentences mean?"

"Jiuli is the tribe of Chiyou, the monstrous mound should be his mausoleum, the metatarsus is the bones on the feet, the battle of the deer, but I don't know what this means" Zhong Sheng looked at Yang Ye.

"Does taking mean stealing?" Yang Ye asked.

"Stealing...... Sole...... ......?" Zhong Sheng kept reading with his eyes closed.

"Thief!" Zhong Sheng opened his eyes suddenly.

"The legendary god of thieves?" Iron Furnace asked with wide eyes.

"Maybe the thieves have found Chi You's tomb, these three should be his descendants!" Zhong Sheng speculated.

"The thief is a person from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it's been thousands of years, how can anyone still want to hunt down and kill his descendants?" Yang Ye felt that Zhong Sheng's guess was wrong.

"There are two reasons, one may be that someone wants to get this map, maybe this is a treasure map, and the other may be related to the descendants of Chiyou, Tiancang Palace is the orthodox descendant of Chiyou, this map is likely to be the location of Tiancang Palace, Tiancang Palace wants to kill people. Zhong Sheng was extremely excited at this time, he preferred to believe that it was the second type, at least the enemy's hiding place had eyebrows, but everything was just speculation, and no one knew what it was.
