On the wrist under the forearm of the mummy, there is a wound that is deep enough to show the bone, almost severing the wrist...
I thought about the bloodletting described by Jiang Pan and Liao Cheng before, and felt my wrists getting colder.
"For such a big wound, Mr. Long is too old, and he has insufficient energy, so the man sucked him dry completely."
Jiang Pan murmured in a low voice, his brows furrowed and his tone even more cold.
"He is really short of life, so he would do anything to this, even Mr. Long, who is in his sixties..."
Liao Cheng nodded and took his fingers out of the mummy's mouth. He said at the same time: "It is indeed sucked dry. Every tooth has fallen out. That person must have other troubles. Otherwise, he has harmed many people and his life span should be It will be enough."
The two directly lifted the mummy out of the coffin and began to examine it carefully.
I pondered for a moment and told them to check here. I would go to other rooms to see if there were any clues.
Jiang Pan nodded, and I turned around and walked out of the house, heading straight to another room.
In another room opposite the door, I saw a dark mark on the ground, black and red, as if it had been soaked.
There is a broken ceramic bowl next to it...
There are still some remaining clods of soil in the bowl, which have been soaked in blood.
I squatted down and picked up the bowl, only to find that some of the pieces were missing.
There are still some remaining talismans on the bowl, but they are of no use because they are incomplete.
Is that person stealing his life here?
I couldn't imagine that scene, but standing here, I feel goosebumps all over my body, and cold sweat breaks out on my spine.
I searched carefully around the house and found no other clues, so I went to other rooms.
Also found nothing.
When I returned to the small hall, Jiang Pan and Liao Cheng had already walked out.
There was a remnant piece of clothing on the table. Apparently, this was what they found.
I put down the broken bowl.
Liao Cheng immediately held the bowl in his palm, with a sparkle in his eyes.
"Broken bowl, no more pieces left?" Liao Cheng squinted his eyes and stared at the runes on the bowl.
I nodded and said, "I've searched them all, and there's nothing left."
"It should be after stealing the longevity, the bowl was broken and the key fragments were destroyed." Liao Cheng murmured.
Jiang Pan condensed for a moment and then said: "The ceramic bowl we are using now should be far inferior to the copper bowl. Could it be that his copper bowl was destroyed by the teacher and he doesn't have a new bowl?"
"It doesn't seem like it. It's been nearly five years. You can destroy it and rebuild it again. But I think something happened to him suddenly that caused it to be destroyed again? Can you only use a pottery bowl?"
Liao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly said: "If there are enough fragments, it can be..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Pan's brows were already furrowed and he said, "Brother Liao, we have an appointment first."
There was helplessness in Liao Cheng's eyes. He put down the ceramic bowl with a wry smile. After Jiang Pan picked it up, he threw it into the courtyard.
With a crackling sound, the remaining bowl fell to the ground and turned into countless debris.
"He should still be able to harm others. I will go to the city to find people to inquire about the surrounding situation. I will also find some people to come back and bury Mr. Long."
"At least, don't let any filthy things disturb his body anymore."
Jiang Pan said and walked towards the outside.
Liao Cheng and I were the only two people left in the small hall.
Liao Cheng made a gesture of invitation and motioned for me to sit down.
After I sat down, I thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, if no one is killed, we can also see if there are any other gentlemen or Taoist priests around here. The younger the better."
Liao Cheng nodded and said: "It is indeed a way, but this is a gamble. If he doesn't come where we go, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch anyone."
I frowned and lowered my head. What Liao Cheng said was right.
But whether we chase or wait, we are extremely passive...
The most important thing is that the person who stole his life left too few clues.
Of course, he can't tell where he is going, and he will pay special attention to it...
If you could predict fortune...
As soon as I thought of this, I gave up the idea.
Divination requires birth date, and I have no way of knowing...
However, I gradually thought of another possible solution.
If things take a turn for the worst, chasing him or finding someone who might be harmed fails to find him.
So if I choose a place and spread the word that there is a young gentleman here and invite him to the urn, is it feasible? !
When I thought of this, my heartbeat accelerated a lot, and I felt that this method was very feasible...
Of course, Jiang Pan was not here, so I did not tell Liao Cheng immediately.
Liao Cheng could still see some problems in the details. For example, just now he had thoughts about the longevity-stealing bowl.
Jiang Pan immediately destroyed the bowl seriously.
An hour later, Jiang Pan came back, and he brought some ordinary people from the city with him.
These people had white cloths wrapped around their shoulders and carried a lot of things for doing business.
After entering the small hall, these people first bowed to us and then, under the guidance of Jiang Pan, went to Mr. Long's room.
Jiang Pan's whole person looked solemn.
He looked at us and said in a deep voice: "Thirty miles away, at the Liuyang Taoist Temple, the Taoist priest who taught him died suddenly. The Taoist priest in the temple said that he slit his wrists and what happened this morning."
"It's impossible to cut your wrists. That person has been to Liuyang Taoist Temple..." Jiang Pan's tone was cold.
He added that he had arranged Mr. Long's affairs, and we would set off directly now to go to Liuyang Taoist Temple. Maybe the man hadn't gone far yet.
Liao Cheng stood up immediately, and while we walked out, I told Jiang Pan what I had just thought.
And I directly said that I can be used as bait to catch this person out.
Jiang Pan looked stunned, and Liao Cheng was obviously shocked.
"This plan involves risking one's life. If everything else is fine, what you have to face is stealing your life. The teacher is still under protection, but he will die unexpectedly. Yin and Yang, how dare you take such a risk?"
Jiang Pan directly rejected my idea.
Liao Cheng murmured: "Brother Jiang, I think this plan can be tried."
Jiang Pan frowned and said: "Brother Liao, Yin Yang is young and vigorous, why are you with him...?!"
Obviously, Jiang Pan meant to say nonsense, but he stopped abruptly in the end.
Finally, he shook his head heavily and said no.
We have walked out of the water dragon temple gate.
Lao Huang mooed and snorted.
I'm thinking about how to explain it to Jiang Pan, but what he said makes sense...
The most important thing is that we don’t know the man who steals longevity, and we don’t know how many tricks he has left. Once he is tricked, he will almost certainly die...
