Chapter 117: The Chamber of Secrets
There wasn't much color in the house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Only gloomy.
It's so dark that even the air breathed into the lungs carried this gloomy aura.
A corpse lay conspicuously in the gloomy room, and his fatal wounds were obvious.
Jiang Cheng used a knife to remove the corpse.
Look closely.
He would be scared and disgusted, but after these emotions were amplified in his mind, he would force himself to adapt every time.
Because this is a cruel world that is completely unfamiliar, and there are so many people here who kill people without blinking.
Weak people can't live, and the more ruthless and black-hearted people are, they will live longer.
He had already begun to adjust to that fear when he killed Huang Da, and then he killed Kong Wu.
When the other man's head flew up, the scene of blood spilling red his eyes and his sword.
At that moment, he wanted to avoid seeing the bloody scene, but he suppressed the thought of avoiding it, and stared at it.
No one knows when they will die, and before they die, they can see more about how others die and what they look like before they die, maybe this is also a good experience, and when they are about to die, they may be less afraid.
Now facing this long-dead corpse, the hollow eyes of the other party that are sunken in, and the stench that comes to the face after being opened.
It also made Jiang Cheng very unbearable, feeling that his stomach was sour, and the few bird eggs he had just swallowed raw seemed to come to life at this time, and there were little birds jumping in his stomach, trying to get out of his stomach.
The corners of his eyes widened significantly, and the Ice God Determination continued to echo silently in his mind, and the feeling of panic and nausea gradually weakened.
He crouched down, forcing himself to take a closer look at the corpse's injuries.
The fatal wound was seven inches above the umbilicus and half an inch below the xiphoid process, and Jiang Cheng understood that this was the dovetail acupoint.
There is a trick in the fingers of the three elements of the gods, which pays attention to stabbing this acupoint, and after hitting this acupoint, it will impact the abdominal wall arteries, veins and even the liver and gallbladder, vibrate the heart, and make people die of blood stagnation.
There were two other wounds on the corpse, one of which was almost halfway into the wrist bone, which was also considered a serious injury.
Jiang Cheng looked at a short sword lying on the ground not far away, and then deduced from this wound that the murderer should have used a knife, and after a fierce battle with this person, he slashed his wrist, causing the short sword in this person's hand to fall off.
Then the knife stabbed and hit the dovetail point, directly causing the person to die.
However, although this person is dead, his clothes are neat, and there are some loose items in his pockets.
When they were turned out one by one, they were some broken papers, obviously silver tickets, and then there were two vials, which were obviously also pills.
There is nothing else.
Obviously not, this body has been lying in this house for so many years without anyone to clean it up, and apparently no one has ever been here except him.
Then the corpse is either the owner of the thatched house, or the owner of the thatched house is the murderer, who was seriously injured after killing someone and left the thatched house, and finally died.
Jiang Cheng didn't touch the two bottles of pills either.
No matter how good the elixir is, it must have passed its expiration date after so many years.
Moreover, this dead person is obviously only a martial artist in the acquired realm.
If it is really an innate martial artist, let alone more than twenty years, even a hundred years The corpse will not decay into this state.
This valley is not a particularly deep and difficult to find deep mountain and old forest, if this person dies here for a hundred years, it is impossible that no one will find out, so the possibility that this person is a congenital powerhouse can be directly ruled out.
Jiang Cheng felt a little disappointed, and slowly got up to observe the houses here.
There is such a dangerous mechanism arranged in this house, it is impossible to have no purpose, he originally thought that there would be some secrets hidden in the house, but the four walls of this house are unobstructed, where are the secrets hidden?
Perhaps the reason for arranging so many traps is to prevent the enemy from coming to your door.
But if that's the case, it doesn't make sense, after all, the mechanism in the house has not been touched, so it doesn't seem reasonable for this person to die here.
Could it be that the person who arranged the organ was not prepared to use the mechanism from the beginning to the end?
Jiang Cheng felt that it was difficult to figure out the myriad of things, and he was already planning to leave here.
This room is too dangerous to stay in for long, and if any deadly mechanism is accidentally triggered, then he will have to stay here.
Jiang Cheng lifted his breath and retreated gently, he always paid attention to his step, and he was completely careful when he stepped out of this foot.
It is stepping on a floor tile with a dented surface.
Since the floor tiles are dented, they are obviously caused by some blunt blow, and they should not be mechanisms.
But at the moment when his feet stepped up.
Jiang Cheng immediately felt that something was wrong, and the stone bricks were a little loose when this foot collapsed.
Immediately, his hairs stood on end, and he was ready to defend himself as soon as the knife turned.
It is conceivable that the scene of the crazy attack of the hidden weapon did not happen, but the ground shook gently at this time, and there was a "rumbling" sound coming from behind, like the sound of stone clay pots rubbing.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, turned around to look, but saw that the ordinary wooden bed in the room here had been moved.
It wasn't the bed that was removed, it was the entire floor under the bed that was removed, revealing a passage to the underground.
There is still such a secret passage in this hut?
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and walked over slowly.
Going down the entrance of the passage, you can see that this basement is deliberately reinforced by huge stone bricks, otherwise the soft soil of this damp valley will definitely collapse.
The further down there became, the more rancid and dull the smell slowly dissipated towards the passageway.
Jiang Cheng took out the fire fold from his bag and threw it off, and the basement with a radius of about seven or eight zhang was illuminated by the firelight.
The one who came into view was a person.
Sitting.
Staring at him.
Under the firelight, his eyes were like electricity.
Jiang Chengrao is a master of the arts, and he was so bold that he was so frightened that his heart was full of goosebumps.
Subconsciously, he took half a step back.
"Who!"
The sword flashed, and the Cold Moon Treasure Knife was already horizontal in front of him.
Jiang Cheng's heart was beating violently, if it weren't for the fact that the Ice God was determined to maintain a trace of calm, his legs would be frightened and weak under the numbness of his scalp for a while.
It is inevitable that no matter how bold a person is, he will be frightened by something terrible.
Fear is a normal human emotion, and when it is about to arise, it is irrepressible and sudden.
There was actually a person sitting in this underground secret room staring at him, and he couldn't feel his breath or qi at all.
Jiang Cheng gradually calmed down, and the firelight had already illuminated the appearance and state of the person sitting opposite.
He was pale-skinned, his face was long, his black hair was in the form of a bun, and his eyes were like those of a falcon, but he was already dead.
However, even though his eyes have lost their luster when he is dead, his pupils are reflected by the light of the fire, and his eyes are shining.
