Zhou Ze walked to the big turtle with some curiosity, not knowing whether it was because it left the water or because Feng Si'er's whip had destroyed its vitality.
Right now, it is rotting rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Pools of red, white and black pus were already flowing out from its belly, emitting a foul odor.
After watching for a while, Zhou Ze couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and moved away.
"Boss, Fengyoujing."
Yingying came forward considerately and handed the small bottle of medicated oil to Zhou Ze.
This time, Yingying brought a lot of gifts, and the things she prepared were naturally very rich.
Zhou Ze poured some out and rubbed it between his upper lip and nose. He felt a little better and said jokingly:
"Why did the river god just tell you like that? He shouldn't have come out and asked you:
Young inspector,
Did you lose the golden axe or the silver axe?"
Feng Si heard this and smiled politely.
Xu Qinglang walked forward curiously and looked at this "close relative" of his.
A sea god, a river god,
They can really be called "close relatives".
Zhou Ze suddenly felt that Lao Xu's taste had become a little too heavy recently.
I don't know if it's because of his fusion with Poseidon or if he's just been letting himself go recently.
Zhou Ze saw Xu Qinglang even using a branch to stir up the rotten old turtle.
I couldn't help but remind:
“Expired food.”
He was really afraid that Xu Qinglang would have a sudden idea and want to cook a dish with this old turtle. Moreover, with Madam Xu's cooking skills, he might be able to remove the smell of rotten meat and cook it fragrantly for himself and Lawyer An to feast on.
Then he stood by and watched with a satisfied look on his face.
"What a pity, the turtle shell has rotted away too."
Xu Qinglang felt a little regretful.
You definitely can't eat meat.
But the tortoise shell is still useful.
But now the old turtle is completely dead. If you put it in a bag, it might turn into a bag of pus in a quarter of an hour, and you won't even be able to find a hard lump to pick up.
At this moment,
A person emerged from the river again.
It's an old woman.
"Fourth Master, I'm coming up!"
Feng Si nodded.
Obviously, this is the real Cuihuaer.
Cuihua swam to the surface of the water, with a large piece of water plants wrapped around her body. This was also good, as it was like putting on a layer of clothes.
She was too lazy to change her clothes and reported directly:
"Fourth Master, the entrance to the cave seems to have just been widened, and there are traces left recently."
This was naturally the work of Yingying before. Yingying had gone down under Zhou Ze's orders to widen the entrance of the cave to facilitate subsequent entry.
"Then I went straight in, and it was completely clogged with arms and legs, and I pulled them out one by one.
There are really a lot, look..."
Saying,
Cuihua pointed at the river.
"After the arms and legs are stripped off,
There was actually a long-haired turtle blocking the way.
The opening was blocked abruptly.
Like an anal plug.
Packed tightly.
It took a long time to chop and drag the old turtle out. There was something tricky about this old turtle, but I didn't care about it after pulling it out. Anyway, I knew you, the Fourth Master, were there, and this old turtle couldn't do anything.
Who knows that after pulling out this old turtle,
Blood was bubbling out of it, and it tasted so sour, even better than the sauerkraut I pickled!
After the blood drained, I looked inside and saw a platform. For some reason, the platform was not covered by water. There was an iron rack on it with chains and torture instruments hanging on it. Some were made of iron and some were made of stone.
The place is not big, and there are not many things, just those few things. "
"Um."
Feng Si reached out his hand, patted Cuihuaer on the head, and said:
"You did a great job, go change into some clothes."
"Okay, Fourth Master."
Cuihua walked up to Yingying.
As people age, their height and size shrink, so Cuihuaer needs to look up at Yingying's face.
"Hey, let me lend you a set of clothes!"
Yingying looked at Zhou Ze.
Seeing Zhou Ze nod, Yingying took Cuihua to the tent to find clothes.
Lawyer An walked over to Feng Si'er, as if to discuss something with him, but he did not lower his voice, appearing to be very frank.
"This river god is blocking here. Is it to seal the cave?"
Feng Si nodded slightly, "It should be. It looks like it is quite old, at least before the Republic of China."
Before the Republic of China, it was at least a hundred years ago.
Zhou Ze moved closer to Xu Qinglang and nudged him with his elbow.
Xu Qinglang was just about to go over and discuss something with them when Zhou Ze poked him. He then realized that the boss was asking him what "sealing the acupoints" meant.
"This is a saying in Feng Shui. For example, if a place has been suffering from bad luck, the locals will think that there is something wrong with the Feng Shui. Sealing the acupoints is like acupuncture for the human body. It is a measure to correct the Feng Shui.
Even in modern times, in some rural villages, you can see some fields inexplicably built with a brick wall or a concrete wall.
It has no use at all, but it stands there alone and abruptly.
This is why we asked a yin-yang master to do the 'sealing acupoints' to give us some advice on what might have happened there. "
Lawyer An smiled, pointed at the river, and said to Feng Si, "Si'er, let them go. They are all cultural relics."
Zhou Ze then realized that
All the broken limbs and debris on the river surface are gathered in this section of the river.
From the time they emerged until now, they have not drifted away along the river.
It seemed as if something had bound and pulled them here, keeping them together and preventing them from dispersing.
Feng Si'er whipped out his whip again.
He lashed three times towards the surface of the river.
For a time,
These broken limbs and debris began to drift downstream.
I guess the children living downstream will soon be frightened by this scene.
"The workmanship is so fine that I want to take one home to collect as a collection." Xu Qinglang said with some regret.
Zhou Ze rolled his eyes at Xu Qinglang.
I wondered if I had been too neglectful of him recently.
What made him become like this
But when I think back to when we first met, Lao Xu made two human skins and had dinner with them every day.
It seems that Lao Xu had a heavy taste from the beginning.
It's just that he looks good, so people subconsciously overlook him.
"Yes, cultural relics, although the materials are made of living people, are like the Loulan ancient corpses and Egyptian mummies, and are probably still very valuable," said Lawyer An.
A few years ago, when domestic economic conditions began to improve and the archaeological fever began to emerge, many people really went to the desert to dig up mummies and sell them. There was a relatively famous one among them who specialized in digging up those dried ancient corpses and selling them to the British, and he made a fortune.
But he was later caught and shot.
In fact, just look at these hands and feet. After so many years and being soaked in water for so long, they are still so fresh. Putting aside many other complex factors, these things are really pieces of "works of art".
It can be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people.
"This place is relatively close to the ancient city. If nothing unexpected happens, something may have happened in the local Muwang Mansion during that period, so they found a skilled Xuan Xiu and sealed the cave here under his guidance."
For nearly six hundred years in Lijiang, the richest and most powerful family was the Mu Wangye family, who were the "local emperors" that lasted through several dynasties.
Just think about how much money the village chief in your area makes in a year and you'll have an idea, let alone how much money he makes for six hundred years in a row
“This old turtle must have been found and forcefully sealed inside the cave when it was first sealed. Today, only one out of ten mountain, river, and lake gods remain in the world, and even those who were once officials are now in ruins.
It's funny that this old turtle seemed to want to bite me back just now, pretending to be Cuihua to fool me."
Feng Si said with a smile.
These mountain and river monsters naturally have their own ways. Water is a carrier of "illusions". Because it can reflect light, it has the potential to bewitch people. Most monsters born in water have similar abilities.
At this time,
Cuihua changed her clothes and came out, wearing a sports outfit.
"Draw what you see below first," Feng Si ordered.
"Okay, Fourth Master."
"I have a pen and paper here." Xu Qinglang took out a box from his tent, took out a pen and paper and handed them to Cuihua. He usually liked to draw talismans, so he naturally carried these things with him all the time.
Cuihua didn't hesitate. She spread out the paper, put something under it, and then squatted down to start drawing.
"Wow, such painting skills are hard to tell, they are very well hidden." Zhou Ze exclaimed.
Yingying next to her pouted!
Jealous!
She is a maid and I am a servant. How can I have the nerve to be outdone by others
Zhou Ze originally thought that this silly girl could do nothing but make sauerkraut, but he didn't expect her to be so talented. After a while, a three-dimensional sketch appeared on the paper.
This is a platform.
There is an iron frame on the platform with chains on it, and next to it is an axe similar to Bao Gong's "dog-head guillotine", as well as a series of other things, all of which are torture instruments.
Lawyer An and Feng Sier looked at each other.
When they heard Cuihua's oral description of the situation below, they didn't react much, but after seeing the layout of this picture, their expressions became much more serious than before.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Ze asked.
Xu Qinglang squatted down and picked up the pen that Cuihua had just put down.
He pointed at the axe, sword, iron frame and other tools beside the iron frame and said:
"The placement of these things is in line with Feng Shui techniques. It can be considered a killing formation."
"Killing array?" Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment, "Murderous array?"
Xu Qinglang shook his head.
He turned around to look at Zhou Ze standing behind him.
road:
"This is a Feng Shui layout to break the evil spirit.
Specializes in killing zombies! "
Feng Si nodded and agreed, "That's right, this place is designed to kill zombies. Maybe there were zombies here a hundred years ago, and the people in the Muwang Mansion invited a very skilled Yin-Yang master to seal the cave here, which can be regarded as a trap.
But somehow, the trap didn't work.
It seems that the person who plotted against Mr. Zhou must be a local native, otherwise he would not have known about the existence of this place.
That person,
The purpose is direct.
I want to kill you."
