Chapter 34 Who loves to work without oil and water
However, his behavior would not win him any favors. Except for Hu You, all the other three were indifferent and just wanted to do it quickly and perfunctorily.
After all, there is probably still dangerous work without any big deal, and no one wants to do it.
If it weren't for the faction of Yingtianjian, who would have been willing to go to this poor mountain valley to suffer?
After eating and drinking, there was nothing to do overnight. Everyone agreed to choose to go and investigate the next day during the day.
Since we were here, we always had to do it. The next morning, a few people rode their horses to Liugou Temple.
This Liugou Temple is located in a remote place, backed by the mountains, and is still fifty miles away from Nanshan County. It is even more deserted and has no popularity except for a Liugou Village.
Several people tied up horses outside the temple and pushed the door in. The scene in front of them was indeed as Li Fengzhi described. Many corpses wearing monk robes, limbs, heads, and hearts disappeared.
This matter has been delayed for at least two days. The entire Hedong County has a spring climate. In the hot weather, the bodies have begun to rot faintly and emit waves of stench.
Among the three, the leader was Yu Li, who was nearly forty years old; he had a stubble face and a rough appearance.
When he was young, this man was a gangster. He traveled around the world and had some knowledge and eloquence. Among the ten people who entered Yingtianjian, he looked at him with his leader.
At this time, he pinched his nose and kept smoky scenting, while complaining:
"Brothers, this mission is really thankless. If you don't mention it so remote, you don't have any specific clues yet."
"In my opinion, we will play domino here and stay for a day. We will go to Nanshan later and find a tiger, black bear, etc., and kill it casually, drag it back to Nanshan County. We will intimidate the magistrate and tell him that this is a monster and can barely get along with him."
After hearing his words, Hu You didn't say anything, while the other two colleagues, one of them, was a little straightforward, and he questioned:
"Brother Yu, is it really good to be so perfunctory? What should I do if something big happens in the future!"
At this time, another tall and thin captain with long eyes stretched out his hand, patted Zhao Dezhu on the shoulder, and cursed:
"I said Zhuzi, it's not me, Wu Dahua, you are so stupid, when will you be able to get a clue? If you want to die, don't drag us all."
"Now, Brother Yu is the right way. If you want to check it, how can you check it? Is this just a little bit of information? Who knows what monsters are made of? Yes, Brother Hu?"
Wu Dahua is Yu Li's hardcore, and he has always been the mainstay. In fact, what they said is nothing wrong. This case is indeed difficult to investigate and there are no clues.
Although Yu Li's proposal was perfunctory, it was indeed feasible. Although Yingtianjian's appointment was easily irresistible, it also did not force the task to be completed. At that time, the magistrate shut up and wrote a letter saying that it had been resolved.
Although there are no certificates for killing monsters and no merits, they are at least safe.
When Hu You heard Wu Dahua's words, he nodded casually, walked forward, squatted in front of a monk's body, and carefully investigated.
In fact, Yingtianjian’s training does include this, similar to the coroner’s autopsy method, which infers the process of the matter through clues left on the corpse.
The headless corpse wearing a monk's robe in front of me was without any other injuries on her body, which can be seen as a killing of one blow.
But look at the broken neck and limbs; the traces of the tearing of the skin and flesh are not neat, but are broken;
From this we can infer that it is not made by cutting and cutting with swords or axes. If we want to force ourselves to repair it, Hu You is more inclined to be more likely to be a monster with a huge body and infinite strength, and he pulled out his head and broke his limbs with one claw;
But how big does it take to remove an adult's head? I'm afraid that tiger and black bear can't do it.
The monster this time was indeed extraordinary, but why did no one lose his life in Liugou Village, not far from this temple?
In theory, if there are monsters here, I am afraid that all the monks will be killed, and it is very likely that they will go to Liugou Village to massacre.
Why didn't you go? What was the reason? Hu You thought hard and couldn't figure it out, so he prepared to take a look around to see if he could find any clues.
He was not just trying to upgrade his merits. In fact, based on his inference, the four of them could solve this kind of monster, and he also agreed with the idea proposed by Yu Li.
But if he came for nothing and got nothing, it would definitely not fit Hu You's personality. At that moment, he ignored Yu Li and Wu Dahua's eyes as if they were looking at fools, and began to check the monk's houses one by one.
Seeing this, Zhao Dezhu also came over and began to search around with Hu You.
In fact, the Liugou Temple is small and broken. The main hall where Buddha statues are dedicated is removed, and there are only more than ten monks' rooms. After two people patrol, they quickly searched and found nothing.
It shouldn't be, this place looks like an ordinary dilapidated temple, it's ordinary and has nothing to do with suspicion!
Could it be? Looking at the hall that had not been checked, Hu You moved his heart and opened the door and walked in.
The worship here is a Buddha statue that Hu You didn't recognize. In fact, no matter in his past and present life, both bodies were not very interested in Buddhism, and had never been in contact with it, so it was not surprising that he could not recognize it.
This Buddha statue is considered to be the most valuable thing in this temple. It is about meter high and is painted with gold paint. It is slightly shining in the light that is thrown into the room. It can be seen that these monks usually wipe it a lot.
He circled around the Buddha statue several times, and even Hu You didn't let go of the stone incense burner used to burn incense in front of the Buddha. He reached out and fumbled in the broken fragrance for a while, but he still couldn't find any useful information.
Everything is normal, as strange as these monks were killed by some existence out of thin air.
There will be evil things when things are abnormal. The more this happens, the more strange Hu You feels.
At this time, Zhao Dezhu, who was following him, spoke, pointed to the ground and said, "Brother Hu, is it possible that this monster is hiding underground?"
A word woke up the dreamer. Hu You then realized that he had entered a misunderstanding of thinking, yes, what kind of world is this? This is a demon world similar to the strange world in Liaozhai.
How could I look at the problem from the perspective of my previous life? Could it be that the monsters here are underground and there are in the walls, and I just bumped into one of them?
Thinking of this, Hu You completely let go of his mind and began to look underground. After searching, he immediately gained something. He found that there seemed to be some brown and dry blood on the back of the tall Buddha statue and in the gaps on the blue bricks on the ground.
Hu You had some thoughts, but he didn't say anything, and no one said anything, but went to other monks' rooms. Zhao Dezhu lost interest at this time and turned around and went out to look for Yu Li and others.
Hu You kept groping in the walls of the monk's house, knocking and beating, and finally, an abnormality was found in the last monk's house next to the main hall.
As his fingers buckled the wall, an "empty" sound came from it.
He suddenly punched the wall with a punch, and the wall was damaged, and a string of shiny rosary fell out of it.
Hu You had just copied it in his hand, but before he could take a closer look, there was a flower in front of him. The rosary disappeared out of thin air and was snatched away by the stone that had been away for a long time...
I won't be like this, at least let me think about it carefully.
However, the rosary was recognized as a magic weapon by the stone, so after all, this trip was not in vain and finally gained something.
Hu You was about to go out when he heard Zhao Dezhu's panicked voice coming from outside:
"Brother Hu, Brother Hu is in trouble, Brother Yu and Brother Wu are missing!"
