C20



After tormenting for three hours, Hamborg and I finally sat down, our bodies drenched in sweat. The corpse mud in our hands made it so that we had no mood to take out cigarettes to smoke, so we just sat there and watched Old Taoist Qiu busy with work.

Old Taoist Qiu slowly put together the pieces of corpses that we dug up. More than ten of them were now scattered on the ground. These corpses were mostly intact, and he could barely make out their faces.

"Zhao Hai was forcefully dragged by the side of the Old Taoist Qiu as he fearfully identified the corpse. This. I know him. This is Old Li, who works with my brother-in-law. "That … the thin person with a missing leg is the newbie … Little Liu …"

After a long while, the Old Taoist Qiu finally let Zhao Hai go. According to his identification, of the fifteen corpses that were incomplete, he actually knew twelve of them, which meant that the construction teams that his brother-in-law used to use were all here, including the person with the surname Shi who helped to pull him alive, but his brother-in-law Kong Shuangquan was not here.

"Sigh, I searched for a long time, but couldn't find the real owner." When Hamborg heard Zhao Hai identifying a corpse in a sobbing tone, he said to me indifferently, "Fourth Boss, can you see how he died?"

I stood up and walked around the corpse twice. I pointed to a large wound on the corpse named Shi. "Basically, every corpse has fatal injuries. They were probably left here after they died." As for why they were buried under the corpse mud, from the position, it seems more like something struck by lightning and brought here. "

Old Taoist Qiu raised his head and gave me a praising look, "Fourth Boss is right, if it was lightning, it would have turned to dust a long time ago. This Penniless Priest also thinks that they were thrown here after dying, and then turned over here by the divine lightning. "

Now the problem was, what was this lightning strike? What did the people in this town do to attract such a powerful thunderbolt? Furthermore, the matters of the main house were not settled yet. Where did Kong Shuangquan who was missing a hand go? A group of people were together, yet he was reduced to ashes? Isn't that a bit too much?

Aside from Zhao Hai, the three of us split up and explored the various lightning pits. In the center of each lightning pit was a black hole. Without a doubt, the one inside was the one that the heavenly thunder truly struck. Looking at these holes, I suddenly thought of a strange idea. I walked up to Old Taoist Qiu and pointed at the holes in front of him, asking, "Leader, these holes go straight up and down, are they not grave pits?"

Old Taoist Qiu immediately understood after being pointed at by me, and a rare surprised expression appeared on his face: "Don't tell me they really dare to do that?"

This was a famous saying that had been passed down in the so-called "Road". On the surface, it seemed like there was no oil for these tombs, and even robbers did not want to touch them. However, if this special burial site was used on special locations and people, the meaning would be very complicated. For example, if a person was born in Yin, Yin, Yin, or Yin times, and they were buried in the land of great Yin, they would become a zombie, and could even become a huge threat to the evil side.

However, this locust tree town was filled with wind and water treasures. Even the Old Taoist Qiu had praised this Feng Shui Treasure Acupoint, so where did the Yin come from? Since there was no place of great Yin, what was the point in setting up this grave? Besides, an ordinary grave would not attract such thunder.

With a head full of question marks, the four of us went down the mountain to our quarters. Just as he finished his shower and was about to go downstairs to look for food, he met Mao Babao who was happily carrying a big box.

"Mr Mao, what should we do? "This town hasn't delayed your courier service yet?" Hamborg who was standing opposite of him coincidentally walked out and greeted him with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense! This is Babao's food for the Messenger! " Mao Babao's face was filled with disdain, but he still magnanimously opened the box, revealing the large covered bowl inside.

I also came over, "Since when did Mr Mao make Babao's food that can't be eaten?"

"Nonsense, I've used their kitchen to busy myself for a long time, and yet they're bringing it up in such a loud voice. What if someone says they want to try it?" "The cover, do you understand?" Mr Mao had an expression of "you are all too young".

Protect? Concealment? Hiding it? A string of similar words surfaced in my mind. I suddenly thought of a possibility and slapped Mao Babao on the shoulder, almost knocking the box out of his hands. Thank you, Mr Mao! Come find me later! I thought of it! "

Before long, all three of them were in my room. Without waiting for me to ask, Hamborg rushed to say, "Fourth Boss, that Zhao Hai said he was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he didn't come first. I think he was scared. "

"Fine, he won't be able to interfere in this matter anyway." I waved my hand casually.

Mao Babao chose a place far away from the Old Taoist Qiu and sat down. "Fourth Boss, tell me, what big event is it?"

I first told him about our discovery on the mountain slope in the morning, which made Mao Babao frown. He was extremely close to the Underworld and was very familiar with this burial, so he naturally felt that something was wrong. When I finished speaking, he asked, "Then, what did you discover?"

I pointed to him. The cover, the cover, and the attack I thought of! "

My idea was very simple. The reason why the people of Sophora Tree Town made those grave pits on the gentle slope was to hide their eyes and ears, or to cover up the sky and allow the heavenly thunder to have a target. The owner of the inn, Shuangliu Market, had also said that this place was filled with thunder. Perhaps they had done something that defied the will of the heavens and attracted the thunder.

Old Taoist Qiu and Mao Babao seemed to be deep in thought. Hamborg was completely confused, "Fourth Boss, I still don't understand. What is there to hide? "

I chuckled. "Do you think there's anything strange about this town?"

Hamborg scratched his head: "A lot, I don't see any big locust trees in the locust town, there are a lot of small locust trees. I haven't seen many old ladies, and they're all so talkative … "

I waved my hand to cut him off. "Get to the point, the weirdest!"

"There are no three lights in that small dark room behind the ancestral hall!" Mao Babao and Old Taoist Qiu said at the same time. After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and grunted at the same time. Then, they ignored each other.

I chuckled, "That's right, that place is the weirdest. It might be the event tonight, so I went to take a look at their ancestral hall."

It was just after midnight when the four of us met again and sneaked into the street through the window of my room. At this moment, the town of Sophora Tree could only be described as deathly still. Looking down the street, one could not even see the shadow of a ghost. Under the cold moonlight, the rows of eaves were as sinister as the teeth of a monster. Old Taoist Qiu and I will be on the left, Hamborg and Mao Babao will be on the right, and the four of them would be hiding in the shadows on both sides.

The ancestral hall in the night was more like a gigantic beast crouching in the shadows. I don't know why, but the moment I saw it, I was actually a little scared. Maybe a change in mindset had led to a change in mood? I mocked myself.

The four of us reunited in the shadows of the Ancestral Hall. Hamborg led us to the back of the Ancestral Hall, where the foreigner had long observed a place, saying that he could effortlessly sneak into the backyard of the Ancestral Hall without disturbing anyone. Actually, I could already tell that he boasted about his ability to fly over walls. Stealing from a chicken to a dog was his specialty.

After circling around the ancestral hall for half a circle, Hamborg stopped beside a locust tree and said, "Come, it's here."

I looked up at the six-meter-tall, unbroken wall, and then at the locust tree three meters away from the wall. "What kind of a place is this?" I whispered to him. "What's different from other places?"

Hamborg rolled his eyes at me in dissatisfaction: "Fourth Boss, you are just spoiled by these experts on the second floor, you won't be able to live the life of an ordinary person." Hamborg climbed up the tree as he spoke, he then dragged a ladder down from the dense treetops with his hands. "Look, this is great, we directly went up the ladder, it won't disturb anyone, it's not tiring at all."

I was so angry that I nearly vomited blood. I wanted to summon a hundred heavenly thunders to hack him apart.
