After hearing what I said, Ding Yuan and the police around him all showed surprised expressions.
"What should we do then?"
Ding Yuan said anxiously: "The place where Xiong Nantian hides the corpse poison may be down here. We must go down, otherwise we can't tell the source of the corpse poison."
I smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of this dead anger."
Then, I took out a few fire-burning talismans from my bag. The energy of goodness and "spirit" were poured into the fire-burning talismans, and the fire-burning talismans burned instantly, with deep yellow flames rising high.
With a throw outward, the fire talisman fell on the iron plate.
Suddenly, gray gas rose from the iron plate. When the gas appeared, the surrounding air became chilly and the temperature dropped suddenly.
When the deathly energy touches the flame of the fire talisman, it makes a sizzling sound, just like fat being burnt in an iron pan.
Soon, in just over half a minute, the deathly aura was burned away completely by the flames of the fire talisman.
The iron plate was originally shiny black, but now it has suddenly become a little duller.
I rubbed my hands together and said, "Okay, that's enough, let's open this iron plate now."
Ding Yuan trusted me very much and nodded. He took the lead in picking up the iron plate and moving it toward the outside.
It didn't take much effort and the iron plate was opened.
Leaning over, I discovered that there was a dark space under the iron plate. In addition to the damp and rotten smell, there was also a sour smell, as if something had gone bad.
But I was very clear about that stench, it was the smell of a corpse.
"What's that smell? Why does it stink so bad?"
Sun Xiaoli asked me with a grim look on her face.
I explained, "It's the stench of a corpse. It seems that there is indeed a rotting corpse down there, just as I expected. The corpse poison may come from the rotting corpse."
"Rotten corpse?"
A policeman had an uneasy look on his face.
I said, "Yes, it's a rotten corpse, but it doesn't matter, I will go down with you, it should be fine."
In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, Ding Yuan said, "Master Yang's methods are superb. You have seen them before. He is not just a name. So we will be much safer if we follow Master Yang."
I didn't say anything. At this moment, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart. It was the same feeling I had outside the villa before.
This feeling is perceived from this underground space.
And this feeling is very special, as if something is grabbing my heart and tightening it, making me feel uncomfortable. It seems that other people don't feel it.
"Let's go, we'll go down one by one." Ding Yuan ordered the policeman behind him.
I raised my head and stopped Ding Yuan again.
Ding Yuan saw that I was upset and asked me, "Brother Tianyi, what's wrong with you?"
I shook my head and said, "I suddenly have a bad feeling in my heart. It's true that there are rotting corpses down there, but I think for the sake of safety, we should not send so many people down. Just three or four people will be enough."
Ding Yuan frowned, was silent for a moment, and agreed: "Okay, let's do it this way. Anyway, there are too many people going down, and they may not be able to help."
Then Ding Yuan picked two policemen and asked them to follow him and me down.
"Brother Tianyi, I want to go down and take a look too."
Sun Xiaoli pulled my arm and spoke in a weak voice.
I shook my head and said firmly, "No, you stay up there. You're a girl, and your physical fitness isn't as good as ours. If there's any danger down there, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
But Sun Xiaoli still stubbornly pulled my arm.
She pouted and said, "Brother Tianyi, please take me downstairs to have a look. Maybe I can help. You see, I was the one who found the problem under the piano just now. What do you think?"
Look, it's here again! So sticky.
As she spoke, Sun Xiaoli gently shook my arm again.
The policemen nearby stared at me and her with a half-smile.
I was embarrassed, but Sun Xiaoli didn't feel that way.
"Is it okay? ... "
Damn it, I’m convinced.
I pouted and glared at Sun Xiaoli, saying, "Okay, I promise you. You can go down with us, but you have to stay by my side."
When Sun Xiaoli saw that I agreed, she immediately showed joy on her face, and she agreed, "Okay, okay, Brother Tianyi, I'll listen to you."
I really have no idea what to do with Sun Xiaoli. I don't know what this girl is thinking. Is this dark underground space so fun
I remember the last time the ghost knocked on my door, she was so scared that she ran into my room in the middle of the night and...
After that, he gave a few more instructions and told us to take the necessary things and prepare to go down into the underground space.
I was the first to go down, Sun Xiaoli was the second, followed by Ding Yuan and two other policemen.
There is an iron ladder on the wall leading to the underground space, and its shape is somewhat similar to the iron handrails on the old water towers.
The police officer above waved the flashlight and found that the ground of the underground space was not too high from the entrance, only about seven or eight meters.
It took about a minute before my feet successfully touched the ground of the underground space.
As soon as I got down there, a thick smell of dampness and corpse filled the air.
It was very dark down there, and it was hard to see. I focused my "spirit" on my own eyes, and only then could I see the underground space clearly.
The underground space was very large, about the size of half a basketball court. It was surrounded by gray soil and the entire space was empty.
Deep inside, I saw several bamboo tubes standing obliquely and a stone trough, but no rotting corpses were found. But it was really strange to see several bamboo tubes standing there alone.
"Brother Tianyi, I'm coming down!" Sun Xiaoli called softly.
Hearing the sound, I stopped observing the underground space and raised my hand to hold Sun Xiaoli's thigh.
Soon Sun Xiaoli, Ding Yuan and two other policemen also came down.
Their eyes could not see things in the dark, so everyone carried a high-power flashlight in their hands.
The flashlight shone through the underground space, and Ding Yuan tilted his head to ask me, "Brother Tianyi, there is no rotting corpse in here as you said."
I shook my head and said, "I don't know what's going on. Let's go inside and take a look. Everyone be careful."
"good!"
Several people agreed.
Sun Xiaoli followed me closely, her left hand holding my right hand.
I could feel that her hands were cold and trembling slightly. I thought to myself, this little girl was so determined to come in before, but now she is scared.
The further you go inside, the stronger the stench of corpses becomes.
But I never saw the body. Damn it, this is not right.
Soon, we arrived at the stone trough and bamboo poles that I had seen earlier.
The inside of the stone trough was filled with black liquid and a strong stench. I shone a flashlight on it and discovered that it was actually corpse poison, weighing several kilograms.
It was only then that I realized that the slanted bamboo tubes were placed on top of the stone trough.
Drops of corpse poison kept flowing out from the bamboo tube.
Bamboo tube, corpse poison... ... I looked up along the bamboo pole.
This glance made me extremely surprised to find that there was a coffin hanging on the top of the bamboo tube.
At this time, a policeman following behind said to Ding Yuan: "Captain, there is a switch here, I don't know what it is used for."
Ding Yuan said: "Press it and try it."
"good!"
Then the policeman pressed the switch.
With a crisp "click", the switch turned on.
Suddenly, there was a bright light in front of our eyes. The light was a little strong, so we all closed our eyes subconsciously.
When I open my eyes, I slowly adjust to the light.
After the conversation ended, my heart suddenly tightened.
I was shocked to find that in the space illuminated by the incandescent lamp hanging from the top, there were actually coffins hanging. Those coffins were hung on hemp ropes, and each coffin was huge, much larger than the normal coffins for the dead.
At the bottom of the coffin, there are bamboo tubes connected to each other, and the bamboo tubes are hung obliquely on the edge of the stone trough.
In other words, the corpse poison came out of those coffins.
"Why... why are there so many coffins here?"
Ding Yuan's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
Sun Xiaoli didn't dare to move and kept her body pressed tightly against my arm.
The other two policemen also moved closer to Ding Yuan and me.
I didn't respond to Ding Yuan's words, but stared at the coffins with cold eyes.
I counted them and there were seven coffins in total. "Seven" is an extremely yin number. There are seven coffins here, so I'm afraid it's not as simple as collecting corpse poison.
If that were the case, it would be a waste of time.
I carefully observed the arrangement of the seven coffins and found that they were arranged according to a certain star position. But I couldn't figure out which star position it was.
Then, I took out the Yin-Yang Soul-Ferrying Notes from the cloth bag.
Seeing me take out the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, Sun Xiaoli was very surprised and asked in astonishment: "Brother Tianyi, is this the book that my grandfather left in the apartment?"
I nodded and said, "It's this book. It contains many methods of catching ghosts and monsters. It is very useful to me."
I immediately opened the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes and found some records about “star positions”.
Soon, I discovered that the arrangement of the seven coffins actually coincided with the arrangement of the "Big Dipper".
In fact, I am very familiar with the positions of the "Big Dipper". After all, my Seven Star Gangbu footwork and the light spots on the Seven Star Longyuan Sword all coincide with the Big Dipper.
But the seven coffins were arranged in the shape of an inverted Big Dipper, so I didn’t notice it just now.
The notes say "Northern Dipper dies, Southern Dipper lives."
The Big Dipper naturally refers to the Big Dipper, and the Southern Dipper refers to the Southern Dipper.
The Big Dipper is dead, which means that the seven stars of the Big Dipper face the gate of death, while the six stars of the Southern Dipper correspond to the gate of life.
Here appeared a coffin that secretly resembled the "Big Dipper". According to the name in the notes, it can be called the "Seven Evils Yin Coffin".
However, these seven evil coffins were actually arranged upside down, which was already the door of death. Moreover, the "door of death" was turned upside down, which was clearly a sign of inevitable death.
But why is this Seven Evils Coffin hanging here
I'm a little confused.
"Brother Tianyi, do you understand what's going on?"
Ding Yuan asked me with an uneasy look on his face, and he was obviously afraid of the seven coffins.
Yes, although they are police officers, they rarely experience such things.
The faces of the other two policemen also looked very ugly, even a little blue.
I don't think things are that simple, but since the Seven Evils Yin Coffin appears here, there must be a reason for its appearance.
Maybe Xiong Nantian knows what's going on. It seems that I have to ask Xiong Nantian, that damn bastard, when I go back.
I said to Ding Yuan in a deep voice: "Brother Ding, hurry up and collect the evidence. Don't touch anything here. Once we have collected the evidence, we will leave here."
"There is a fierce aura here. The corpse in the coffin must have turned into a zombie. It's not safe for us to stay here for a long time."
Ding Yuan nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I'll investigate and collect evidence right away. I'll try to leave as soon as possible!"
Afterwards, Ding Yuan took the two policemen to take photos and extract the corpse poison from the stone trough.
I took Sun Xiaoli for a walk in this underground space.
But just when Ding Yuan collected the evidence and we were about to leave, I turned around and suddenly found that a dark shadow appeared under the entrance we had just entered.
