Mystery Leaks

Chapter 258 Snowy Night
Afterwards, we went back to our new house and made a summary. A total of eight people were delineated.Among them are two old men, one mother-in-law, two young men, and two young and strong.

So we investigated one by one in detail, and we were busy for almost an afternoon; as a result... except for one young man, all others were ruled out.

And that young man was ill, and he had been ill for many years, and the whole village basically knew about it; now that he is in a hospital in the provincial capital, it is unlikely.

Huang Mao shook his head, "Either he slipped through the net, or he left in a secret, no one knew."

Hu Lai nodded, "This person is very cautious. We can think of such a big clue, and he can think of it. It is unlikely to be exposed. Besides, it only takes three days to go back and forth to the west of Fujian. Within three days, the neighbors must know that the other person has left. It's not easy, after all, no one will stare at others every day when nothing happens."

Cao Nan and I also nodded. If someone asked me what the neighbor next door was doing for the past seven or eight days, and whether he was at home, I would not be able to answer.

This has resulted in a lot of fish slipping through the net.

Even Liu Erlong shook his head: "This method is too crude, and it is impossible to find someone. If nothing else, let's just talk about those bachelors, who can eat enough for one person and the whole family will not be hungry. Three days, even if you die at home, if it doesn’t stink, no one may be able to find out for several months.”

"No matter what, I finally worked hard. I was lucky to find it. It's also expected that I didn't find it. It's not a pity." Hu Lai smiled, and he was more open-minded.

"Our investigation like this must have awakened him, and it is meaningless to continue the investigation." Huang Mao pondered for a while, and said: "Just wait and see what happens, I feel that something is going to happen on the mountain."

……

It has to be said that Huangmao's intuition is very keen.

In the evening, I had just returned from dinner at my third uncle's house, and I was about to meet Cao Nan for a watch, when a black shadow flew in from outside like lightning, and stopped on the counter, pitch black, with its back to me.

It's the three-eyed spirit owl!
It appeared again, and the last time it was an accident on the mountain, it made me want to join.Although there were many dangers, the result was that he collected all four inlaid beads at once.

"You're here, what's the matter?" I hastily pulled the door down a little.

The three-eyed spirit owl mechanically rotated 180 degrees, revealing its face, with a pair of eagle eyes shining sharply.

"They want to salvage the things in the pool, you have to go and play by ear, there may be something you need there." The three-eyed spirit owl spoke out.

I nodded and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will go. What I want to know is, whether it is a person or a ghost, when will it be done?"

"It's hard to say, there may be humans and ghosts." The three-eyed spirit owl said, "The time should be tomorrow night, the last full moon night of this year."

"Okay, I see." I nodded heavily.

If you do something on a full moon night, the one who dominates is most likely not a human being, but those ghosts and spirits.

Anyway, they have already taken away two coffins, one blood coffin and one golden coffin, and it is not surprising that they took away Mrs. Jin Di's coffin.

The most important reason is that ghosts and evil spirits belong to the feminine, and they will go berserk on a full moon night, and their strength will increase a lot.

"Remember, safety is the first priority at any time. Don't move blindly, let alone take risks. Just stare at it. Don't do it lightly until the last moment." The three-eyed owl warned, and it spread its wings gently One, turned into an afterimage again, and disappeared.

I tidied up and arrived at the new house. Because the time was up, I didn't tell Hu Lai and Huang Mao that I planned to finish the update before it was too late.

After returning, Hu Lai was the first to speak, and said, "The silver-eyed mandrill came back just now, and there was an abnormal movement on the mountain, and it was not a person."

"Are they going to do it tomorrow night?" I asked, even though I already knew.

"Yes, the moon will be full tomorrow." Huang Mao nodded, and said: "We will go up the mountain at noon tomorrow, and then sneak up there, play by ear, and bring everything we need, otherwise there will be a scuffle."

After a pause, he continued: "The age of mythology has come, and it is possible that the age of mythology will remain. Even the places where magic arts were practiced in the early days of the Dharma-ending Age will attract great attention. Some prophets have already smelled it. Come here, the situation will become more and more complicated in the future.”

We all nodded, now a cultivator has come, that is Naguzha, that ox-nosed Gu master.

"Then what should we do if we knock more, stop?" Cao Nan asked hastily.

Hu Lai nodded, "Stop it. Since the center point is on the mountain, it doesn't matter if the mountain is pine or pine. Let's make preparations with all our strength; and also inform Feng Daniu to go with him; the three families of the tomb guards cannot be absent."

……

Time passed to the next day, the heavy snow had stopped, but the light snow did not stop. The five of us set off after eating at noon. The road up the mountain was covered with snow, so we could only walk, and we had to be early.

This trek was much more difficult. We had to stop and rest after an hour of walking, and the heavy snow was too much of a hindrance.

I have to say that the timing of the actions chosen by those ghosts and evil spirits is simply too good. The snow has no effect on them, but it makes us miserable. Coupled with the full moon tonight, it can't be better.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, we finally arrived at the North Field, and then climbed the mountain more difficult. The five of us were as tired as a dog, and we could fall asleep lying in the snow.

At five or six o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, but it was only dark, not dark, because the reflection of the snow was so strong that I could hardly see my fingers at this time, but now the visibility was a full 200 meters.

When the moon peaked at eight o'clock and jumped out from the distant mountains, it suddenly became like daytime.

Strange to say, at this moment, not a single black cloud in the sky has disappeared, the sky is as blue as washing, the galaxy hanging in the sky is as bright as white silk, and the moon is like the rising sun, and it is "dawn" directly!

Hu Lai looked at Yinyue, frowned and said: "Black and white are reversed, and the ghosts are flourishing."

"I hope you don't make too much noise!" Feng Daniu swallowed.

"Hmph, the excitement this time may not be worse than last time." Huang Mao said, then pointed to a place ten meters away, and said, "Look at that!"

We hurriedly turned our heads and looked over there, and we were taken aback by the footprints.

I ran over and saw that there were more than one footprints, and there were obvious traces of being covered up by scratches and branches.

Huang Mao carefully pushed aside the floating snow and said, "At least a dozen people, and they are professional in covering up. If the snow falls for a while, the footprints will be covered up. It's a pity that the snow stopped suddenly, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find them."

"Who could it be, grave robber?" I asked hastily.

"When we went up the mountain last time, we found that someone had gone up, but they never showed up. I'm afraid it was the same group of people." Hu Lai said.

"It may be a tomb robber. The old master lost his troops in Jinpen Township. He didn't even get half of his hair. He must be very unwilling. He will probably organize people to come again." Huang Mao analyzed, and said: "I didn't know him before. What exactly you want to do, now it is clearer, the old master must have noticed that the age of mythology has come, so he wants to seize things like cultivation skills and spells."

"The prophet." I said.

Huangmao nodded: "Yes, it's the same as Naguzha, as well as the Dongying Zuo Mu and the tomb robber men and women, they may all be the same. They are eyeing tigers, and they dare not stay in Jinpen Township in normal times, but they will still appear at critical moments." body."

"How about we follow their footsteps?" Cao Nan suggested.

Huang Mao nodded and said: "Okay, we will follow their example, cover up the traces, and try not to let people find out."

So, Huang Mao led the way, and Cao Nan and I were separated by about 30 meters, carefully covering our footprints behind, walking step by step, and approaching Ruo Shui Youtan little by little.

Half an hour later, Huang Mao suddenly squatted down and raised his hand.

We stopped in a hurry, and after getting the signal from Huangmao, we carefully pasted it as silently as possible.

"What's the matter?" I asked softly.

Huang Mao pointed in one direction and said, "It's three hundred paces away, in that half-tree-high bush."

I hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at it. I didn't know if I didn't see it. I was shocked when I saw that there were more than [-] people inside.

These people are very cunning, they are all covered with white windbreakers, squatting in the snow and completely integrated into one body, if the yellow hair is not pointed out, I am afraid that they will not be able to find it when they get close.

"How did you find out?" I was immediately amazed by Huang Mao's eyesight, he could see from such a distance.

"Hehe, it's not difficult." Huangmao smiled and said, "That bush is indeed a good place to hide, but they forgot that when there are more people, the white steam exhaled will be thicker, and a gust of wind blows by. Found."

"Looking at the back, it looks like that gang of tomb robbers." Hu Lai said.

I looked at it again, not to mention, the backs were really familiar, they turned their backs to us and watched the weak water and cold pool in front of us.

"Nine times out of ten it's them, and they joined forces again." Huang Mao said, his tone very sure.

Feng Daniu said with emotion: "It is true that there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies. They were angry with each other before and did not show mercy, but now they are joining hands again."

Huang Mao smiled and said: "The ghost king is powerful, it will be even more useless if they don't cooperate."

"What should we do, we can't see Weak Water and Youtan here, do you want to go closer?" Cao Nan asked Huang Mao.

"We have to go around, the weak water pool can't be out of our sight." Huangmao nodded, and then said: "Let's go back, or take the old road and go around to the other side."

So we went back, back to the old way.

It took about 40 minutes to finally arrive at the designated location. For the last part of the road, we moved over in the snow, afraid of the reflection of the face, and even touched the bottom of the pot and painted it black, so we didn’t dare to stand up at all; These elite tomb robbers are not vegetarians.

We followed suit and got into a bush. Looking over at this time, the people gathered by the old master were very hidden. If we didn't look carefully, we might think they had changed positions.

After confirming that they were all there, we shifted our sights to the Weak Water Pool. It was covered with snow outside, but there was not an inch of snow near the rocky beach and the pool. The boundaries were clearly defined, which was unbelievable.

The deep lake reflects the starry sky and the silver moon, like a huge gemstone, quiet, bright and intoxicatingly beautiful.

It's just that this tranquility is destined to be the tranquility before the storm.

Whether it's us, the tomb robbers, or other people who haven't found it yet, they are all here to be "singers", because no one has the ability to get Mrs. Jindi's coffin up from the deep pool.

We can only wait for those ghosts and evil spirits to act first, and let them be the "mantises" that catch cicadas.
