"I asked. In the past thirty years, about ten people have disappeared in this river, and young women accounted for more than half of them." Shen Qingyao came back after making the call.
"What does this mean? Is there some monster in the river that specializes in eating women?" Shao Zilong stared at the river below.
I walked under the mountain rock, glanced to the left and right, and then walked left along the road for about twenty steps.
I looked up and saw an extremely luxuriant old pine tree growing on the mountain wall on the inside of the road. The tree was very thick and the leaves were green and lush.
Climbing up the mountain wall, I came to the edge of the pine tree and touched the bark.
"Is there something wrong with this tree?" Shao Zilong and Shen Qingyao also came over and asked from below.
I asked them if there was anyone who could take advantage of it and cut the tree open and take a look.
Shen Qingyao went to the car, and soon took a dagger and threw it at me.
The dagger was gleaming with cold light, and it easily cut a large gash on the bark of the tree. It was obviously very sharp.
I touched the bark of the tree with my left hand, moved it up slowly, stopped somewhere, and then stabbed it in with a knife.
As soon as the knife went down, a scream of "ah" suddenly came!
The cry was high-pitched and thin, extremely shrill and harsh, and the sound seemed human but not human.
"What the hell?"
Shao Zilong and his two men below were also surprised and quickly climbed up along the rock wall.
I pulled out the knife and saw that the tip of the knife had turned dark, as if it was stained with sticky ink. It exuded a fishy smell that made people sick to their stomach.
Then he pierced the tree with another knife, but this time the direction was shifted downwards by seven inches, and then he slashed upwards. The knife easily cut open the tree body, and then cut out a square like digging tofu.
At this time, it was discovered that there was a hollow part inside the tree, and a square, dark wooden box was hidden inside.
There was a hole on the side of the box, and a dark, viscous liquid seeped out of the hole. It was obvious that my first stab was stuck here.
Countless root-like things grew out of the tree cavity, glowing bright blood red and densely packed like countless blood vessels, entangled in the box.
I cut it open with a knife, and saw scarlet liquid oozing out of the tendrils, which was shocking to see.
After cutting off all the roots, the wooden box was taken out of the tree cavity, and the three of them returned to the ground together.
"Could this thing be the White Tiger?"
Shao Zilong stared at the wooden box for a moment and cursed.
"The white tiger is evil?" Shen Qingyao frowned, "Are you saying that someone buried boys and girls in trees and used magic to cause car accidents?"
"It must be! Didn't you say that the feng shui here is good, otherwise how could so many people die?" Shao Zilong cursed, and then looked around again, "The white tiger is a fierce yin and yang, which is a boy and a girl, so here we are. There must be a tree nearby!"
But the two of them searched around and couldn't find the corresponding target.
"It's probably not the white tiger." I placed the box on the side of the road, took some burned incense residue, and placed it around the box.
Then he drew a circle above the box with his finger.
"How do you say that?" Shao Zilong and Shen Qingyao looked over with some confusion.
I pointed to the wooden box on the ground and said, "It's very simple. Do you think this box can fit a child?"
The two were stunned for a moment.
"Damn it, I was so preoccupied just now that I didn't even notice such a simple thing!" Shao Zilong said, slapping his head.
"I was also led into a ditch by you." Shen Qingyao said.
To arrange the White Tiger Fierce, the most important thing is to need a boy and girl. The box in front of you is square, but not big, and can't hold a child at all.
"My fault, my fault." Shao Zilong said, coming over and asking me to quickly open the box and take a look.
I picked up the knife, started from the top of the wooden box, and cut it open. A stream of thick ink seeped out through the gap, and a very strange and fishy smell immediately spread in the air.
"I go!"
As the wooden box was cut in half, more sticky ink flowed out, and the contents inside were revealed, making Shao Zilong couldn't help but curse.
That was a human head!
It was covered with sticky ink, and the appearance could not be clearly seen, but the eyes were wide open, with no pupils inside, only the whites of the eyes.
The moment the box was cut in half, the thing opened its mouth, revealing its white teeth, and screamed "Ah!"
Shen Qingyao's face turned slightly pale. She took a few bottles of water out of the car and poured it down to disperse some of the ink, so she could see more clearly.
The head was cut off at the neck level, and the incision was very smooth. Even so, it was of course impossible for him to be alive, but the skin did not rot at all, it just showed a blue-gray color.
In the middle of his forehead, there is a strange talisman, but it is not drawn with anything, but looks like a tattoo, somewhat similar to a tattoo.
After being stabbed, the head opened its mouth and let out a scream.
"Is this a Yin corpse?" Shen Qingyao couldn't help but ask.
"This thing...forget it?" Shao Zilong also hesitated.
It's no wonder that the two of them are not sure. After all, inferi are common, but those with only one head left are very rare.
"It's a bit like a guillotine, but..." I stood up and looked at the road.
"But what?" Shao Zilong asked curiously, "What is this guillotine? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"It's a very unorthodox kind of magic." I explained, "But it's very strange to arrange this kind of magic here. It doesn't make sense. Is it just for fun?"
"Who knows, there are all kinds of people in this world, maybe you just met a madman." Shao Zilong said.
I don't think Shao Zilong's statement is convincing enough.
If he was really the kind of lunatic who killed people for fun, then why would he use this method of back-and-forth poking?
I walked along the road filled with residual incense for a while, and carefully recalled what I saw when I lit the incense before. I turned back to Shao Zilong and said, "Pack up and leave."
"Where to go?" Shao Zilong asked.
I said, "Let's look around here to see if there are any people living here."
"Do you suspect that the person who caused this decapitation lives nearby?" Shen Qingyao asked.
I heard her tone of voice was cold and murderous, so I nodded and said, "Go and have a look."
He went over to the car, found a black plastic bag, and put the head in it. Shao Zilong placed another talisman on it and whispered, "Xiao Yao is angry."
"It's best not to mess with her." I hummed.
Now it seems that the reason why there are so many accidents in Civet Ridge is obviously related to the Guanhead Sha.
So this also means that the death of Shen Qingyao's good friend's family was inseparable from this decapitation evil.
Of course, there is another very important point here, that is, what happened to Cao Song happened here.
Is this just a pure coincidence, or is there some connection between the two?
