Chapter 157: The Truth About Holy Water(1/2)
An hour ago, after Dong Ming finished writing a letter in his room, his eyes became firmer.
He wiped his horizontal knife clean, and under the moonlight, it reflected a little bit of cold light!
"Little one, just stay at home."
Dong Ming placed the three blue birds on the table, gently stroked its head, and showed a doting smile:
"Although you have only been following me for a day, I am still very grateful for the clues and tips you gave me."
"This night visit to the Chen family must be extremely dangerous, so please don't go!"
The three blue birds tilted their heads slightly, their clear eyes blinking, very spiritual.
However, when Dong Ming was about to leave, as if he had seen Dong Ming's plan, the three blue birds began to cry anxiously.
Immediately, it flapped its wings and landed on Dong Ming's shoulder.
Dong Ming showed a hint of helplessness: "Little guy, I'm going to the dragon's pond and tiger's den, don't lose your life because of me."
With that said, Dong Ming was about to put down the three blue birds.
Unexpectedly, this Kunlun divine bird, which understands human nature, seemed to be angry, and gently pecked Dong Ming's finger, as if to say:
"You must take me there! I'm not afraid!"
Looking at the chirping three blue birds, Dong Ming felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
He had been lonely since he was a child. Apart from his eldest brother and second brother who had taken care of him since he was a child, this was the first time that he felt an indescribable warmth from someone else.
"Okay, since you want to come with me, let's make an agreement."
"If you encounter danger and I ask you to run, you must run, do you understand?"
Sanqingniao tilted his little head again, and after a moment, nodded.
Dong Ming laughed dumbly: "You are really a smart little guy."
Immediately, the three bluebirds got into Dong Ming's collar.
Dong Ming quietly opened the door, looked at the moon shrouded in dark clouds, then glanced at the room of his elder brother Liu Ye, and then bowed with a knife in both hands.
This prayer also represents Dong Ming's determination.
"Brother, second brother, if something happens to me, you must take care of yourself!"
…
Under the moonlight, Dong Ming climbed over the wall and left the Zhenhun Division in a hurry.
When he came to Chen's house again, the banquet had already ended.
Looking at the Chen family whose main entrance had been closed, Dong Ming pondered for a moment and chose to enter directly over the wall from the backyard. This was also the best way to find the maid and others.
However, although it was already getting late, the Chen family and others as the head of the family should have rested, but many maids and servants were still working at this time.
Therefore, when Dong Ming came under the corner and heard the noise, he cautiously turned over and entered after making sure there was no one underneath.
He himself has a good talent in martial arts, and with the blessing of the power of dragon and elephant in "Qi Tan Yao Yi Zhi", it was easy to climb over the wall and enter without making any sound.
Dong Ming estimated that he should be in a secluded place in the backyard at this time.
This time I visited the Chen family at night, I had to figure out two things.
The first is the mechanism in the golden body of the Bodhisattva.
Second, it is the resting place for the maids and servants, and find the maid with the wound in her hand.
Because the Chen family itself occupies a large area, and Dong Ming does not know the specific location here, he was not able to find out the location of the destination at the beginning.
At this time, Dong Ming looked around and estimated that he should be in a small garden.
There were many green bamboos planted in the garden. Dong Ming walked among them and smelled a unique fragrance of bamboo on the tip of his nose. However, gradually, Dong Ming suddenly felt something was wrong.
Because...the bamboo forest seems too big!
"What's going on? Although the Chen family is a well-established family, it's just a small garden. It shouldn't occupy so much space."
"Wouldn't this make the layout of the entire house become indifferent?"
When he was confused, Dong Ming subconsciously took a step forward. However, the soil that should have been solid was actually a little empty at this time!
Immediately afterwards, a green bamboo several feet high in front of him fell over!
"Crash..."
For a moment, the sound made by the bamboo leaves attracted the attention of the servants patrolling around.
"who!"
Under the alert voice of questioning, although Dong Ming's face was gloomy, there was no sign of panic. He took out a piece of cloth from the bag he carried with him, covered himself with the cloth and stuck it to the edge of the wall.
The fabric actually blends in with the surrounding environment.
At this time, the servants had already come over one after another. It seemed that these people did not bring torches because they were worried about the master's family sleeping peacefully.
It was precisely because of this that the gadgets Dong Ming carried were not seen through.
Dong Ming held his breath and watched the servants patrolling around through the curtain.
"It's so good, why did the bamboo fall down?" The person asking the question seemed to be a relatively young servant.
"Shhh... keep your voice down!" A mature and prudent servant quickly warned: "Didn't anyone tell you when you came in? The Chen family is complicated. There are some things, so don't ask casually!"
The remaining people spread out to check the surrounding situation. Perhaps because of good luck, or because the location where Dong Ming chose to hide was indeed very remote, those people did not cast their gaze on Dong Ming's location.
"What's going on?" The young servant seemed a little aggrieved and couldn't help but muttered: "I didn't say anything. After all, if this bamboo is planted, it's deep-rooted and good, how could it fall down?"
"Especially, this bamboo should be old bamboo too."
"Unless it was poached by someone."
As he said that, the young servant glanced at the old servant subconsciously, but saw that the other man's eyes were a little dark and deep, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck: "What, what's wrong?"
The old servant Ding sighed: "Well, curiosity killed the cat. But sometimes, if I don't explain things clearly to you, I'm afraid you will be killed instead."
"You come."
With that said, the old servant took the young servant to the location of the pit.
"Pick it out and see for yourself." The old servant said expressionlessly.
The young servant scratched his head, but he also knelt down and did as he was told. As soon as he dug the soil, the young servant showed a look of surprise:
"Eh? Isn't this soil Chen soil?"
Dong Ming, who was under the curtain, couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Generally speaking, if something is planted or buried in a certain place, it will turn into old soil over time. Old soil will be relatively strong.
But if it is new soil, it will be very soft.
Dong Ming didn't expect that there would be new soil in the garden just now, so she made a mistake.
It's not Chen Tu. Could it be that... this place has been dug up?
Just when Dong Ming was still thinking, the young servant suddenly screamed.
The old servant on the side seemed to have been prepared for it. Before the former could say anything, he covered the other's mouth and reprimanded in a suppressed voice:
"What's your name? You don't want to live anymore!"
But the young servant was trembling and pointed at the dead face in the pit: "Dead...dead man!"
"Now you understand!" The old servant Ding's face was gloomy: "This Chen family is an evil place that eats people without spitting out their bones! If you want to live a good life here, don't ask around!"
"Also, don't go to that Buddhist temple, got it?!"
"Why, why is this?" The young servant asked immediately: "Speaking of which, tonight, at the ancestor's birthday banquet, it seemed that someone from the Zhenhun Division broke into the Buddhist hall, and then..."
"Okay, don't talk about this!" Old servant Ding interrupted him impatiently: "That guy from the Soul-Suppressing Division probably won't live long either!"
"I guess it was because the soil was not compacted tightly when burying it. This caused the bamboo to fall down. Let's deal with it quickly. Remove the bamboo and bury it with soil. Let's evacuate as soon as possible!"
After about a moment of burning incense, the patrolling servants left one after another.
Dong Ming did not take off the curtain immediately, but after these servants disappeared from sight, he waited for about a cup of tea before letting go of the props in his hands.
"Huh, luckily I have the gadget made by my second brother, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hide so easily."
After Dong Ming put away the curtain, he came to the pit just now. Because of the distance and angle, Dong Ming could not clearly see the identity of the person whose face was hidden here.
At this time, the three blue birds in the collar began to feel uneasy.
Dong Ming's face darkened slightly, making this kind of spiritual beast feel inappropriate. I'm afraid it's not a problem with ordinary corpses!
Immediately, Dong Ming quietly uncovered the buried soil again, and the face revealed in front of him made Dong Ming's expression change drastically.
This is a maid, and her face is very familiar. She is exactly the young girl with a wound on her wrist that he observed when he was behind the rockery today!
Only a few hours had passed, and this little girl had turned into a corpse with her eyes open.
The three blue birds in his arms became more restless, and even broke free from Dong Ming's collar, flew out directly, and then circled and landed directly on the maid's forehead.
"Little guy, stop making trouble and come back quickly!"
