Looking at the familiar faces of Lao Zhang, Lao Zhu, Wang Zan, Wang Hu and Shi De, three of them almost cried with joy. They pinched each other's flesh to confirm that they were really out of trouble.
The three people who had narrowly escaped death were moved and ashamed when they saw that the commander personally came to save them.
"Please, Commander, please come and save us three brothers. We have embarrassed the Criminal Investigation Department." The three men bowed their heads in shame.
Jin An: "You have your responsibilities, and I also have mine. My responsibility is to take each of you home safely every time I go on a mission."
Seeing that the three of them wanted to express their gratitude, Jin An interrupted: "Tell me what you encountered when you came to Yizhuang."
Wang Zan and Wang Hu were brothers. Shi Deyou was older than the two brothers and had a more mature and steady personality, so it was Shi Deyou who reported the situation to Jin An.
"When we first entered the mountain, nothing was out of the ordinary. We followed some traces of the old road, opened a path through the bushes, and successfully found the Widow's Village that Li Baihu had mentioned."
"Only after we arrived at the Widow's Manor did we discover that the name of the village had already been changed to Yi Zhuang."
At this time, Lao Zhang interjected: "Did you notice the waterwheel, aqueduct, and mill when you came here?"
It seems that although Lao Zhang has three yang fires burning blazingly with the support of Jin'an Qi and blood, and his human energy and energy are strong, there is no serious problem, but he still has a deep memory of the evil experience just now, so he is particularly concerned about such details.
Shi De nodded: "At that time, our attention was all on Yizhuang, and we wanted to confirm whether Yizhuang here was the Widow's Village we were looking for before dark, so there was no information about the things you mentioned, Lao Zhang.
Check carefully, what's wrong, is there anything wrong with those places?"
Lao Zhang said it's okay, you can continue talking, and Shi Deyou continued.
After the three people entered Yizhuang, they found that the place was too desolate and did not look like someone was living there. The three people passed by the badly collapsed houses and inspected the relatively complete houses one by one. They found two corpses one after another. Through the skull and pelvis
, judging from the thickness of the bones, they were all female bones, and from the teeth, it was deduced that these female bones were all over forty years old...
After the three people discussed, they guessed that Yi Zhuang was the Widow's Manor they were looking for, but now the Widow's Manor had long been deserted.
Later, when they found the largest house in Yi Zhuang and saw the tombs and coffins filled with clothes in the big house, their suspicions were further confirmed.
There are so many cenotaphs and coffins, which exactly corresponds to the number of victims in the quarry.
The three of them never thought that the Widow's Village would become a free village, and that there would be so many tombs and coffins in the free village. If they knew all this, the three of them would never have the guts to stay in the village at night, and would definitely choose to come to the free village in broad daylight.
But it was too late to say anything at that time. When they entered the big house, it was already dark. The wind was blowing hard at night, getting stronger and stronger. It was like countless resentful ghosts lingering and crying in the sky above Yizhuang. The three of them heard
Scalp numbness.
Thinking of the heart-palpitating scene at that time, three of Shi De swallowed hard, and then continued to talk with lingering fears.
"No matter how terrible the cold wind is in the dark night, it is not as terrible as being surrounded by hundreds of coffins. The three of us all feel that this place is very sinister and it is not appropriate to stay here at night. It has been found that there are no survivors in the yizhuang, so we thought
Go down the mountain in the dark and go back as soon as possible to report the situation to the commander..."
When Shi Deyou said this, his expression changed slightly, as if he thought of some terrible scene, and he took a few deep breaths.
Wang Zan answered: "Let me talk about the following matters."
"We wanted to go back overnight, but found that the scene in front of us changed and we came to an ancient world. Our first thought at that time was that we had hallucinations when we encountered a ghost covering our eyes or a ghost breaking a wall, which is often said in the folk.
We had heard about it, but this was the first time we had experienced it ourselves. We immediately thought of the exorcism charms given to us by Master Chen. When we took out the exorcism charms, we found that the yellow charms did not respond. Just when we were wondering if it was a ghost.
I saw a ghost hitting a wall and encountered a huge old locust tree. The next step was that the exorcism charm given to us by Master Chen spontaneously ignited without fire. The three of us turned around and ran away, but no matter how we ran away from the huge old locust tree, the three of us ran away.
The locust tree is always behind us."
After listening to Shi Deyou and Wang Zan's description, the expressions of the other members of the Criminal Investigation Department changed slightly. Fortunately, there were commanders to take care of the brothers along the way. Otherwise, if they went into the mountains at night, they would probably not have entered Yizhuang yet, and they would be in the dead tree.
The sound of water, the mill has already been folded in.
Lao Zhang is the biggest witness.
At this time, everyone looked at Lao Zhang with a different look. They were full of admiration, admiration, and awe! Three people from Shi De were frightened. They felt their scalps go numb just listening to the description. Lao Zhang was alone.
Those who are too evil still look down at the crotch of the old man in the rotten mill! They admire Lao Zhang even more when he is alive!
Three people from Shi De finished talking about their experiences, and then asked Jin An about their experiences and how they found them.
Speaking of this, Lao Zhang immediately became energetic and his face glowed, as if he was as proud as a twenty-year-old man returning to his first bridal chamber with flowers and candles. He answered questions about his encounters along the way and vividly talked about his heroic feats along the way.
Three people from Shi De were greatly moved when they heard this. They held Lao Zhang's hand tightly and almost shed tears.
Even Jin'an also praised Lao Zhang's performance this time: "Lao Zhang has indeed made a great contribution this time. When he returns, he will be awarded a model worker award and a sum of money will be withdrawn from the criminal investigation company's official fees to serve as a model worker."
Tables of mutton hot pot can ward off evil spirits and strengthen yang, and mutton is a great tonic in winter."
As soon as the mutton hotpot was mentioned, everyone present immediately became energetic and lively.
"Yes, since mutton can drive away cold and evil spirits, I must give Lao Zhang a boost."
"Lao Zhang deserves a lot of credit this time."
"Okay, Lao Zhang, this time we will follow you and take advantage of it."
Everyone was excited and cheering, forgetting the depressing atmosphere just now. For people in the capital, nothing in the world is as big as boiling mutton in winter.
Lao Zhang's face was also glowing red, and he was even more energetic than if he had been boosted by the immortal energy and blood of a martial artist.
Lao Zhang: "Master Commander, what is a model worker?"
Jin An: “It can be understood that hard work brings high rewards.”
Everyone booed: "Yes, Lao Zhang is a hard-working man."
Now that the person has been found, the next step is how to deal with the Yizhuang matter.
Jin An looked around the large house and said: "The mountain wind is strong at night and it is difficult to move around. Let's go back to the cemetery first. The bodies of Fatty Li and the Imperial Master are still waiting for us."
On the way back, when passing the waterwheel, someone asked a detail: "Wang Zan, the three of you entered Yizhuang from the beginning, why didn't we see your footprints along the way?"
Jin An: "There is an open space in front of Yizhuang, and the mountain wind is strong at night, so it is not surprising that the footprints are covered by wind and snow. On the contrary, there are shrubs in the mountain forest to resist the wind and snow, so the footprints are not covered as quickly as the open land."
Just when I found the person in Jin'an and was about to cross the river and go down the mountain, suddenly, a ray of light flew from the direction of the National Master's Cemetery. The soul was distracted and flew in all directions, constantly circling in the sky, looking for something.
One of the soul escaping lights came straight towards Yizhuang.
In the blink of an eye, it was the old King Ling who had arrived in front of Jin An.
The old King Ling looked extremely solemn and brought bad news: "Marquis Shenwu! The body of the Imperial Master is missing!"
When Jin An and others rushed to the tomb of the cemetery, they saw that the nanmu coffin was empty, and the body of the Imperial Master buried inside was indeed missing. The entire Imperial Master's house burst into tears.
Fatty Li walked up to Jin An with an ugly expression: "I'm sorry, Taoist Master Jin An, I didn't guard the body of the Imperial Master, and the Imperial Master's body was lost."
The old King Ling took the initiative to say good things to Fatty Li this time: "No wonder Li Baihu this time. I was also present just now. The body of the Imperial Master disappeared in full view of everyone. It happened so suddenly that no one reacted."
"Tell me the situation in detail." Jin An frowned.
Fatty Li: "Taoist Master Jin'an, do you remember what I told you about the ancient quarry country? After more than ten years, this harmful thing has appeared again!"
Why is it an ancient country again?
But how could the emergence of the ancient country be involved with the remains of the national master? Didn’t this thing only harm the living?
Fatty Li: "This is a very strange thing to say. Everyone was in a trance for a while. They heard a lot of people coming and going and the sound of traffic. It was as if they were in a phantom of an ancient country. However, they were in a trance for a while and then recovered immediately. Then the country
The teacher’s body is just gone.”
Appear and disappear instantly?
Jin An inquired in detail about the time when the ancient country appeared, which happened to correspond to the time when he stood in the penthouse and used the King of Qin's bone mirror to see the original shape of the ancient country.
This is definitely no coincidence.
It was the appearance of King Qin's bone mirror that broke a certain balance here and caused the mysterious traces of the ancient country that had disappeared for more than ten years to reappear in the world.
The Yang Fire of the National Master has been extinguished, so he stayed in the ancient country and did not come back. However, the living people have Yang Fire and are not deeply affected.
King Lao Ling is such an old fox. When he saw that Jin An was so concerned about the time when the ancient country appeared, he asked Jin An: "What did Marquis Shenwu discover in Yizhuang? Did Marquis Shenwu also see the ancient country in Yizhuang?"
Jin An nodded and roughly described what happened.
Several of the mausoleum guards knelt down in fear and repeatedly kowtowed to the old King Ling: "We dare not deceive King Ling. We have indeed seen several fires in Yizhuang."
Jin An did not add insult to injury to these servants, but said matter-of-factly: "Shi Deyou and the others encountered several albino skeletons in Yizhuang. The weak fire you saw several times should be phosphorus fire."
"Yes, it's probably phosphorus fire."
"What we saw was phosphorus fire."
Several tomb-keepers rushed to respond.
At this time, Fatty Li looked at Jin An in confusion: "The case in the quarry has been solved by Dali Temple, and it was also bombed and closed down. Why did it suddenly appear now?"
Old King Ling frowned: "If only those with weak Yang Fire or those who are dying can see the ancient country, with our cultivation and strong life essence, it will be very difficult to enter the ancient country and retrieve the remains of the national master.
To be continued...
