Chapter 241: Discovery
Yang Guo just lay down on the roof, and the door below was already opened.
He cautiously poked his head out to look, and saw that there were two more people in the courtyard below.
A man in a red robe was walking steadily, half a step behind him, and another man in a royal blue brocade robe followed with a slight bow.
Since both of them had their backs to Yang Guo, he couldn't see their appearances.
However, when the two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard and turned around, they finally revealed most of their faces.
The man in red wore a Yaksha mask on his face, covering his face tightly, and his eyes were only exposed, revealing a fierce yin color, while the man in blue was handsome and showed an elegant and chic appearance.
Yang Guo remembered that the red-clothed man wearing a snake mask he met in the inn was very similar to the red-clothed man in front of him, so he wanted to go over to find out the situation.
However, now that Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were still trapped in the cell, he could only suppress this impulse, and after Gongsun Zhi and the Venerable Man were far away, he jumped off the roof and entered the room.
The room is very spacious, with a large carved wooden bed in the north, half covered by a white veil, a dressing table with a large bronze mirror, and a set of pear wood tables and chairs in the middle, on which a cup of tea is still steaming.
On the south side, there is a large painting of birds in Yunshan on the wall, and below is a soft couch and a coffee table.
On the east wall is a large black wooden cabinet, and the rows of wooden cabinets are half-foot-sized hidden drawers, there are hundreds, some of which look like cabinets for storing medicinal herbs in a pharmacy.
After Yang Guo searched in other places, he came to the wooden cabinet.
Since there were only numbers on them, he didn't know what they meant, so he pulled them out one by one. Conduct a search.
The movements of his hands were extremely fast, but in a matter of moments, he examined hundreds of hidden drawers, and finally found more than a dozen keys.
He wasn't sure if the keys could open the iron door of the cell, but since Gongsun Zhi had placed so many keys in the wooden cabinet, there was no reason to deliberately put the key to the iron door of the cell elsewhere.
He checked the room again. Returning the rummaged place to its original state, he estimated that Gongsun Zhi was about to return, and exited the door.
Before he could leave the courtyard, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.
Yang Guo didn't dare to go up to the roof to avoid this time, because as soon as he jumped over, the shadow of the light would be projected on the opposite side, and it would be easy for Gongsun Zhi to find out.
He hurriedly looked around, and saw a small arch to the south, which seemed to lead to the backyard. Then he hurried over and hid inside.
It's another courtyard, but it's much smaller than the one outside, with only three stone houses.
Yang Guo was about to jump on the roof and leave, but he smelled a faint smell of blood in his nose, and he couldn't help frowning, and followed the smell of blood to a stone house on the side.
The door to this stone house is locked, and the windows are sealed from the inside. You can't see what's going on inside.
He was about to break the window to check, but he heard footsteps coming this way again.
Yang Guo sighed. He also wanted to see what was going on in the house, and he didn't want to leave, so he had to look for a place to hide again.
There was a large tree against the wall on the northeast side of the courtyard, and it happened to be in a dark corner, so he ran over and hid in the tree.
At this time, Gongsun Zhi had also arrived in the backyard. He didn't stop at all, and went directly to the stone house that Yang Guo had just left, took out a key from his body, then opened the door and walked in.
The door opened. The smell of blood in Yang Guo's nose was a little heavier, and he couldn't help but look sideways to see the situation in the stone house.
But his position was too far away from the stone house for him to see.
He was thinking that he might not gain anything, but when he heard Gongsun Zhi talking to himself in the room.
"If it weren't for the conspiracy and the 'Heart Devouring Gu' from you, why would my grandson be so at the mercy of you?"
"It's a pity that I tried my best to find the antidote refining method, without a thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum as the main medicine, but it can't be refined, I wanted to try with five hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum, I don't want to be stolen by others, is God really going to kill me?"
"Since the main medicine is no longer there, what's the use of me leaving this medicine lead?"
The words disappeared, and Gongsun Zhi walked out with a shovel, and then walked straight to the big tree where Yang Guo was hiding.
Yang Guo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he was busy using his breath-holding kung fu without revealing a sound.
But even so, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, because as long as Gongsun Zhi raised his head and looked carefully, he would definitely find someone on the tree.
In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Zhi was already under the tree.
Fortunately, the tree was tall enough, and Gongsun Zhi didn't expect anyone to hide in the tree, so he just looked up twice, then lowered his head again and began to dig up the soil under the tree.
When Yang Guo saw this, he guessed Gongsun Zhi's purpose, what he wanted to bury.
In a few moments, a deep pit the size of a foot was dug by Gongsun Zhi, and then he put down his shovel and returned to the stone house.
When Gongsun Zhi came out again, he already had a wooden box in his hand, and he came to the tree again, threw the wooden box in his hand into the deep pit, and then shoveled the soil with an iron shovel and buried the deep pit again.
After doing this, Gongsun Zhi flattened the pit with his feet, and then put the shovel back into the stone house, closed the door, and left the backyard.
Yang Guo jumped off the tree, thought about it, and came to the stone house again.
He saw that Gongsun Zhi had not locked the door just now, so he wanted to take out the shovel and dig out the wooden box to see what was inside.
The iron gate is really just a cover, and after entering, although you can still smell the blood, it has already dispersed for the most part, and if you don't smell it carefully, you won't feel abnormal.
The stone house was empty, with nothing but a shovel and a small table.
Yang Guo just glanced at it, then took the shovel and returned to the tree.
The freshly filled soil was still soft, and it took him little effort to dig up the wooden box.
Holding the wooden box in his hand, the bloody aura is even stronger.
He carefully opened the wooden box, and was surprised to see that it contained two dark red hearts.
The wooden box may have been filled with ice, but it has now melted into water, soaking two hearts in it.
Yang Guo couldn't tell whether it was a human heart or an animal's heart, so he hurriedly closed the wooden box again, then put it in the pit and buried it again with soil.
Putting the shovel back in its place, and closing the door of the stone chamber, he left the courtyard with an ugly face.
If those two hearts were owned by animals, Gongsun Zhi did not need to be so careful, I am afraid that most of them were taken from human bodies.
Judging by the smell of blood, those two hearts could only have come from a living person. (To be continued.) )
PS: The collection is very bad, and I am in a bad mood.
