Chapter Ninety-Six: The Mist Heavy Destroys Corpse Poison (2)
Shi Jin, Li Baicao and others tightened the rope on Yuanbao Street in front of Kong Ji Dye House. The gate of Kong Ji Dye House has been blocked by the brothers from Shaohua Mountain. Dozens of people surrounded the huge yard and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching.
Enter.
Shi Jin and others got off their horses, and the heads of the Feng Yuan brothers came over immediately, bowed, and quickly led Shi Jin and others to the Feng Shui Gate.
At the current Feng Shui door opening, a pair of black-painted gates have a pair of fork-shaped white seals affixed to them. The door panels are covered with yellow paper in a messy and nonchalant manner, with all kinds of strange runes traced on the paper.
Shi Jin stepped forward without even looking at it, tore open the seal and pulled off the yellow paper runes on it. When the little boss took a look, he felt bad, but he had no choice but to take out the key obediently.
Come, insert it into the big black iron lock on the door. Just listen to a click, and the big lock opens. The little guy twists his hand hard, and the big and heavy lock is bit by bit in the extremely disproportionate lock.
He unscrewed his lock bolt and pressed it against the door, making another scratch.
Shi Jin stared at the existing scratch and asked the little boss abruptly: "Has anyone come in since the Third Master ordered the well to be sealed?"
The little boss continued to unscrew the lock and said tremblingly: "No one has been here before. After the third master came and sealed this place, we brothers were guarding here. You just opened this seal."
.”
Shi Jin sneered slightly, and without saying anything else, he entered the courtyard. He saw that the courtyard was cleaned in an orderly manner, and the big hole dug last night had been backfilled. Shi Jin knelt down and saw the backfilled soil.
They were all trampled on repeatedly, and the pressure was very heavy.
Shi Jin walked around the courtyard, and all the fabrics that had been hanging on the shelves were gone, leaving only neatly arranged bamboo shelves. However, these bamboo shelves seemed to be fewer than when he first came here.
.
Shi Jin looked at the bamboo frame attentively, and the little leader who was standing aside said, "Master, what's so interesting about this bamboo frame? Why don't we go take a look at the well first."
Shi Jin ignored what he said, turned around in the bamboo racks, took one last look at the bamboo racks, and then said: "No hurry, no rush..."
Shi Jin walked to the stone steps of the courtyard again. The two houses that had been burned by smoke and fire were also covered with runes traced in red pen on yellow paper on the dilapidated window lattice.
Shi Jin stepped forward with Li Baicao, stopped in front of the door, and reached out to pick the yellow paper runes affixed to the door.
The little boss next to him looked at it and suddenly became a little anxious. He could hold it in just now, but if Shi Jin continues to pull it off like this, what's the big deal? He couldn't hold himself back and said angrily: "Master, don't! Don't pull it all off.
, if the seal is gone, the evil spirit can no longer be suppressed."
"Evil?" Shi Jin pinched the hem of a piece of yellow paper and looked at it carefully. The red stuff on it might be cinnabar. Shi Jin looked carefully and when the paper was closer to his nose, a special smell dissipated.
When it comes out, it looks like realgar, glutinous rice and Qizhen.
Without hesitation, Shi Jin pulled off the yellow paper runes and threw them on the ground, secretly hiding one in his drooping sleeves.
Shi Jin pushed the two doors hard, and there was a clanging sound of the iron locks, but the door did not open. When Shi Jin stared at it again, he realized that the doors were now locked.
"Why is it locked? Open it!" Shi Jin looked at the little boss, so much so that he didn't dare to look directly into Shi Jin's eyes.
The little boss said with a guilty look on his face: "This... small one can't be opened. Someone from the Kong family came and locked it, saying it was to prevent theft and thieves..."
Confucius and Confucius are all gone, so why lock it? Could it be that Huang Erlang played some trick on his side? Shi Jin didn't have time to take care of this at the moment, so he just waved his hand and said, "Break it open for me!"
As soon as he said this, the two people who came with Shi Jin and Li Baicao came up immediately. They found a hammer in the yard, and smashed the lock open with a bang. And the hammer held by Xiao Si who opened the door had a hammer head.
It is covered with delicate scratches.
The moment Shi Jin pushed the door open, what he saw was no longer the smoky mess, but instead, broken porcelain pieces all over the floor.
Li Baicao was also surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help but said: "What's going on?" Then he looked at the little boss. The meaning in his eyes was very clear, he was asking him if all the embarrassment here was.
their actions.
The little boss could also feel the seriousness in his eyes, and he did not dare to be negligent, so he said: "This is not the fault of the little guys. When we came, all the houses were already locked, and we just put up seals and stayed there.
It’s outside.”
"So, these yellow paper runes above were not posted by you." Shi Jin also looked at the little leader and asked.
The little head bowed his head and nodded, saying in a low voice: "It was like this when we came here."
Shi Jin nodded, squatted down, and twisted a handful of fragments on the ground. The texture of these fragments was obviously a kind of cooked porcelain, and there was a layer of black weasel outside the scattered fragments. Shi Jin put down these fragments and stood up.
Said: "Bring that sledgehammer again!"
After hearing this, the boy quickly brought the sledgehammer and presented it to Shi Jin. Shi Jin swung the sledgehammer up, took a fragment and scratched it on the hammer. The porcelain shard immediately left a stain on the surface of the hammer.
The traces of ground porcelain powder are exactly the same as the original white scratches.
Shi Jin now understands a little bit, but why did he smash the water tank in this room, and smash it to such a degree. The night after he left, what exactly was going on here, could it be related to the well?
What is the necessary connection between poisoning and poisoning?
Shi Jin can't explain why yet, but since they want to smash it to pieces, it must be necessary, at least for them. No matter who it is, in such a difficult environment, it is necessary to smash it to pieces.
They would not do such boring things when they are full, and in the current situation, they must be hiding something.
Shi Jin picked up a handful of fragments and sniffed them, but there was no smell.
Shi Jin looked around and found nothing unusual, so he and Li Baicao walked to the courtyard again and came to the well in the courtyard. The edge of the well mouth was covered with yellow paper runes, but Shi Jin looked at it
But compared with the runes affixed to the door, they are somewhat different. The runes here are red and black, and when you smell it carefully at the end of your nose, it is a mixed smell that is difficult to describe.
"Get a bucket of well water and bring it up!"
The two boys quickly put down the buckets, but after a while, a bucket of water was steadily lifted up and placed in front of Shi Jin.
Shi Jin took a look at the crystal clear well water. If no one said there was corpse poison in the water, then who would know? No wonder so many people were poisoned.
"Baicao, bring me the silver needle." As he said that, Shi Jin picked a piece of grass at the edge of the well, dipped it in the well water with one hand, and took out the yellow paper rune from his sleeve with the other hand, and carefully
The blade of grass soaked in well water was smeared on the runes on the yellow paper.
Suddenly, the vermilion runes showed a dark color...
