At least four or five hours had passed between the time when my colleagues Xu, Jiang Pan, and Liao Cheng met, and when it got dark.
How could that person have been there all this time? !
The speed of Liao Cheng's feet became much faster, and Jiang Pan and I followed closely behind.
After a while, we arrived at the front of the forest.
Under the shadow of an old tree, there is a man standing.
The quiet moonlight shone on him, and his cheeks were extremely thin, as if they were sunken into his facial bones.
The clothes on his body were in tatters, as if they had been weathered by the wind and rain all year round.
This is not a living person, but a corpse...
And the waist of the corpse was wrapped with slender iron chains!
No wonder he couldn't leave. How could the body leave? !
Jiang Pan's expression changed first.
Liao Cheng suddenly looked thoughtful.
The three of us walked up to the corpse.
The scene that followed made me quite shocked.
After that person, there was another person a few meters away.
The man was leaning under another short tree, his head hung down, and he was also a mummy.
This is just the beginning. The slender chains have worn at least thirty people!
And every three or four people get on, the chain will wrap around the tree, and finally there will be two chains in the middle that are completely locked!
These people are trapped in this place!
Judging from their clothes, none of them are gentlemen, and there are no Taoist priests or low-class people. They are all ordinary people.
Liao Cheng murmured: "It is indeed so."
"Xu Qianzhang, the master of the paper man Xu, used paper to tie up many strong men in the city. These people were the reason why Mr. Suspicious Dragon and Mr. Yin were filled with resentment after they entered the tomb."
"They wanted to explore the road first, dig out the robbery cave, and then bring these people in one by one. However, two of them died in the robbery cave. These people were locked here, locked to death." Liao Cheng said There was a hint of sadness in his words.
Jiang Pan was very silent and kept looking at the corpses without saying a word.
Under the wash of anger, they did not rot, but simply became mummies, let alone transformed into evil spirits.
In fact, I feel like there is a stone stuck in my heart, and I feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
In fact, the people who came here according to the parchment scrolls were all here to inherit the inheritance of Guan Xiantao, or to become a good corpse.
When Guan Xiantao seeks disciples, he uses cruel methods.
Of course, now we have no way of knowing whether Guan Xiantao has other purposes.
But everything has a cause and effect. If it were not driven by greed, gentlemen would not come here.
In order to dig graves to obtain treasures, death is fate.
Only these dozens of ordinary people are all innocent.
Whose father and whose son are they? !
Xu Qianzhang, Mr. Suspicious Dragon, Mr. Yin...their group all committed greater crimes back then.
It’s no wonder that Mr. Suilong died in the robber’s cave so aggrievedly...
Just when I thought of this, Jiang Pan whispered: "Take all the corpses off the chains and bury them."
Liao Cheng immediately shook his head, frowned and said: "It takes too much time, no way."
Jiang Pan raised his hand and hit a tree trunk hard with his fist, making his eyes turn red.
Liao Cheng continued: "We all rely on hunting in the woods for food, and the people outside don't eat much. It's been at least five days, and I still don't know how they persisted or whether anyone has left."
"It has been more than ten days since we entered the Yin Mountain Range in total. In addition, we have been on the road for more than half a month. We still have to go out and go to the Jiugong Dojo again, which requires more time. I still have one very important thing to do, and I can't delay it any longer. ”
"If time is delayed any longer, it will be up to you, Brother Yin Yang and Mr. Jiang, to pull out Zhou Jingyi. I cannot delay this matter."
My heart skipped a beat. What Liao Cheng said was that he wanted to find Li Cang.
Time is indeed running out...
I took a deep breath and began to persuade Jiang Pan: "Brother, we really don't have the time to bury more than thirty people. It's not that easy to remove these chains... I'm afraid we will have to find an opportunity later. "
Jiang Pan was silent for a longer time, then he turned back silently and walked in the direction we came from.
Liao Cheng and I looked at each other. I was slightly embarrassed. Liao Cheng nodded and gave me a harmless look.
On the way back, Liao Cheng once again suggested how to arrange the affairs of those gentlemen after leaving.
Jiang Pan then spoke and repeated that he would set up a sect for Mr. Yilong and recruit disciples in Tang Town.
As for the inheritance of Guan Xiantao, Jiang Pan looked at me. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Tianyuan Xiangshu is a system of its own, and it has been so for hundreds of years. However, the Earth's Xiangshu is compatible with the sea and the sea is open to all rivers. You can study Yin and Yang." If this yin and yang technique is of benefit to the world, keep it in the world. If it is of no benefit, destroy it or seal it away."
After a pause, Jiang Pan added: "Lai Qian will definitely spread a lot of random information. Even if we don't tell him that we have the Good Corpse Pill, he may say that we have it in the future, and there will always be people coming to look for trouble, or even asking for corpses." Danhe inheritance, but with Mr. Tianyuan and Mr. Dixiang in Tang Town, I won’t be afraid of anyone else.”
Regarding Lai Qian, it is actually very unclear.
Either kill him, or there must be a hidden danger.
With Jiang Pan here, it is definitely impossible to kill anyone, and the hidden danger cannot be eliminated...
Liao Cheng had no objection to Jiang Pan's arrangements.
Apart from being interested in repairing the Yin-Yang Technique of Zero and Two Gods, he was even more disdainful of other Yin-Yang Techniques.
During the discussion, we returned to the front of the stone road.
By this time, the bonfire was almost out, but Lai Qian was still asleep and didn't get up.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether he woke up or not.
Paperman Xu was very happy to see us back. Tang Ding also got up from the ground and saluted me.
I told them to wait a little longer and we would set off at dawn.
Tang Ding whispered to us that he would catch a rabbit or other wild animals and bring them with him, otherwise we would not have anything to eat on the way.
I nodded in agreement and he disappeared into the bushes.
The paper man Xu added a lot of bonfires, and the flames burned much more violently.
It won't be long before dawn.
Lai Qian finally woke up. He sat upright and rubbed his brows.
After he seemed to be awake, he asked us how our rest was last night.
Neither Liao Cheng nor I paid attention to him. Only Jiang Pan nodded and said it was not bad.
Lai Qian still smiled with us, but he didn't feel embarrassed.
After waiting for almost another quarter of an hour, Tang Ding finally came back with a wild rabbit and a pheasant hanging around his waist.
Lai Qian glanced at him, and he obviously swallowed twice.
But Tang Ding glared at him and said: "Old guy, why are you glaring? If you glance again, you will only be able to eat your head and butt. You will not be able to do anything. You will only make trouble. If you glance too much, you will not even be able to eat your butt." No need to eat!”
