Mystery Leaks

Chapter 260 Cooperation
"What's the matter?" I asked hastily.

Huang Mao frowned, and exchanged a glance with Hu Lai, both of them had inexplicable expressions on their faces.

"That thing looks very evil." Cao Nan commented.

"What do they want to do? Boil the weak water pool dry?" Feng Daniu asked.

"Certainly not. There must be something special about it. Mrs. Jin Di was buried under the Weak Water Cold Pool. If she wants to live forever, she must break out of the coffin. In other words, there must be a way to get out." Huang Mao shook his head and said, "Since Ghost Boy is the servant of Ghost King Zhao Tuo, it must be able to communicate with Ghost King and know how to get out of the coffin."

When we heard it, we all nodded. This explanation is quite reliable.

Mrs. Jindi is the same as Zhao Tuo, the king of ghosts. They all learned from Qin Shihuang to play longevity. Zhao Tuo can transform ghosts, so Mrs. Jindi must have something special.Maybe it was because the two were in the same spirit, Mrs. Jin Di told the King of Ghosts how to retrieve the coffin.In other words, the ghost king and the ghost boy found out how to retrieve the coffin.

There is even a bigger possibility that Mrs. Jindi also has servants, but she has not met her face, otherwise it would be unreasonable to be attacked by the scorched corpse that day, which is too coincidental.

"Hiss... how do I feel, this thing is a bit like bone phosphorus?" Hu Lai suddenly thought of something, and said something puzzled.

"Bone phosphorus?" Huang Mao's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "I see, it is indeed bone phosphorus. This handwriting is really hard for them."

"What is bone phosphorus?" I was like a primary school student, asking without hesitation.

"To put it simply, it is the phosphorus in the bones. When the weather is hot, it will burn a green light, which is commonly known as ghost fire." Huangmao explained, and said: "In the legal practice, bone phosphorus It is a very strange thing. When there are many of these things, a small space called ghosts will naturally form, which is very disturbing to things like magic circles. They pour a lot of bone phosphorus into it, just to interfere And destroy the layout under the Weak Water Pool, so that things can be done more conveniently."

I suddenly realized.

Got it, speaking of ghosts, I instinctively reminded me of the ghost room where the ghost boy hid. There are bones everywhere, layer upon layer.

What's more, those white bones have become bone demons, their body is very large, and there are powerful bone generals.

Since the bone phosphorus came from white bones, then these bone phosphorus must have been collected from the ghost room where the ghost boy hides, because the amount is too large.

At the same time, I thought of the coffin spirit. It used to dig up the Feng family's ancestral graves, and even chewed the bones and sticks of the Feng family's ancestors as sugarcane. I don't know if this habit has anything to do with this place.

Because Huang Mao said that the coffin spirit is an evil spirit, not a ghost. It should have been a white crane when it was alive, because it was tied to the coffin to make a "crane", and slowly turned into a spirit and became a coffin spirit. .

This kind of specification is usually used by people with high status. Ordinary bosses don’t pay much attention to their surnames. It is considered a high specification if they can tie a paper crane.But we couldn't find it from the beginning to the end. It is suspected to be next to which coffin.

Jinpen Township is a poor and remote place, and there have never been any high-ranking officials. If you have to count, it can only be counted on the Meng family. Although the Meng family has a small population in the past, it is a scholarly family. Until my grandfather's generation, he was still a teacher and a cultural person.

If it weren't for the local tyrants who divided the land, the Meng family, a family of landowners for generations, would probably continue.

All of the above made me wonder whether the spirit of the coffin was formed from the side of some very scary coffins?
For example, Mrs. Jindi's coffin, since the weak water and cold pool can be broken with bone phosphorus, the coffin spirit likes to chew bones, so there is a correct solution.Otherwise, it is obviously not a bone demon, but it treats the bones as snacks, which is somewhat inexplicable.

"Eighteen...nineteen...twenty...24...thirty...36!" Cao Nan kept counting silently, and asked, "There are 36 cans in total. How many bones do you need to get enough for this amount?"

"At least tens of thousands of bones." Hu Lai said, and then said: "This kind of handwriting is really hard for them."

Cao Nan and I were stunned, tens of thousands of bones, how many people died in the ghost room where the ghost boy was?Those people were probably massacred. Zhao Tuo, the Martial King of Nanyue, killed them all after Jiu occupied the magpie's nest and renovated the ancient monk's cave.

Thinking about it this way, this guy is really not a thing. In order to hide the location of the tomb, he killed tens of thousands of people, which is inhumane.

Thus, he fell into the ghost realm in order to live forever, and he had a kind of solid evidence.

Only ghosts are inhuman!
In history, there are many emperors who killed people for the sake of the country, but Qin Shihuang couldn't do it if he killed everyone in one fell swoop just for his own mausoleum.

The little ruler of Nanyue, whose state has only been around for more than a hundred years, is really unpopular.Qin Shihuang didn't even live forever, and the lesson of the collapse of the empire was right in front of him, but he didn't care about it, and went on crooked ways. How twisted and perverted is his heart?
……

At this time, the water in the entire cold pool was completely boiling, and the central part was like a spring.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar scene appeared again.

The ghost group is building a huge winch, combined together, fixed on the ground, and a large long iron chain.

Afterwards, the iron chain was thrown into the deep pool, pulled by the winch, and slowly lowered down. At the same time, several long-haired ghosts jumped into the deep pool and sank together with the chain. It was a water ghost I had encountered before.

After about a quarter of an hour, the winch stopped and the chain was almost let out.

Huang Mao made an estimate and said, "About 300 meters."

"Damn." Cao Nan was taken aback, and said, "Isn't this shit going directly to the bottom of the mountain?"

Hu Lai nodded, and said: "The height here is about 200 meters from the bottom of the mountain. This is a stick directly inserted into the ground."

I was also speechless for a while, and I don't know how it was formed, man-made or natural, or, Jinpen Mountain was a secret place in the age of mythology?Otherwise, how could there be an ancient monk's cave?

"Crash..."

Not long after, there was a sudden sound of iron chains.

Gui Tongzi showed a grim smile on his face, and with a wave of his hand, Zhong Roll immediately pushed the huge winch and began to pull the iron chain up.This clearly tied the coffin and was about to be hoisted.

"It's efficient enough!" Feng Daniu said speechlessly.

I looked at this scene, and it seemed to be similar. When I was in the village, Suolongjing also used this method to pull the iron chain, and took the opportunity to take the iron box.

The difference is that at that time, I hadn't entered the Dharma practice, I didn't open my eyes, and I couldn't see the ghosts and ghosts. What I saw was that the millstone moved by itself, and the iron chain was pulled up little by little.

Call a ghost to grind the mill!

But now I have opened my eyes a long time ago, with a glance of yin and yang, I can see both people and ghosts.

"Slag chatter..." From far away, we could all hear the sound of the iron chain tightening, as if it was about to break at any moment.

The group of ghosts pushed with great difficulty, and even made the sound of howling ghosts and howling wolves, and the winch seemed to be unable to bear it.

"Damn, this weak water and cold pool is really not built!" Cao Nan said in shock.

Huang Mao nodded, and said: "Ghosts are far more powerful than humans. They can push them like this. For humans, it would be impossible without using a lot of heavy machinery."

"In my opinion, this loophole is reserved for ghosts. The possibility of people salvaging it is almost completely blocked. The purpose is obvious. This Mrs. Jindi is probably not a good person now." Hu Lai echoed.

"It seems that the hero sees the same thing." At this moment, an obviously familiar but relatively unfamiliar voice came from behind, which did not belong to any of the five of us.

We turned around as if getting an electric shock, only to find in horror that several black muzzles were aimed at us.

Taking a closer look, we were taken aback.

Zuo Mu, tomb robber men and women, a bald middle-aged man, and a few strong players, a total of seven people.

They didn't know when they touched behind us!

Thousands of alpacas ran past in my heart. We were too relaxed. These people didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe they had discovered us a long time ago, but they just kept silent.

"Meet you again, boy from the Meng family." Zuo Mu sneered at me.

My scalp is numb. Last time I was in the Guxiu Cave Mansion, I made a big deal with him, gave him a blow to cut off his descendants, and even snatched the inlaid beads from his hand.

"It's a miracle that you're still alive. It's really hard work." The tomb robber looked at us and said in surprise.

"What exactly do you want?" I frowned, and instinctively reached for the short gun hidden under the pad.

"I advise you not to move, otherwise your life will be in danger." Zuo Mu was keenly aware of my small movements and warned.

"Move again, and I'll beat you into sieves!" said the tomb robber.

"That's right, let me see if your gun has been silenced!" I said coldly, and picked up the short gun like lightning, and pointed it at them.Just a joke, the group of ghosts is behind, as long as the gun is fired here, they will rush over immediately, so you can try it with a shot.

The ghost group is already hanging the coffin, and it will be pulled up in a few strokes. What they want to do now is to directly seize the core, and they have no time to entangle with the ghost group that is chasing and killing them.

Sure enough, the faces of Zuo Mu and his party changed drastically, and they all took a step back, stupefied that no one dared to shoot, this thing was just used to scare us.

Seeing this, Cao Nan picked up the blunderbuss without saying a word, and the two sides confronted each other.

"You're a smart person!" Zuo Mu gritted his teeth and said helplessly.

"Each each other!" I said coldly.

Although the bird guns are not as powerful as the real guys, but they are a large number of guns, and two guns are fired at the same time. These people are absolutely uncomfortable.

"Okay, put it all away, these people are smart people, I like dealing with smart people." At this time, the bald middle-aged man raised his hand and said.

Several subordinates immediately raised their hands and made a gesture.Cao Nan and I looked at each other, and slowly put down the gun.

"You guys are here because you want to cooperate?" Huang Mao asked. He didn't feel any panic from the beginning to the end, and he obviously thought of the future.

"I'll just say, they're all smart people."

The bald middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "You have also seen that the ghost group is stronger than we thought, and we lost a group of people just now. How about joining hands and taking chestnuts out of the fire together?"

"You are quite honest!" Huang Mao's eyes flickered slightly.

"If we can become friends, you will find that I am always so honest." The balding middle-aged man is not humble at all.

Huang Mao didn't answer his words, and went straight to the topic: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"It's very simple. We take what we need most, and you take what you need most. If we cooperate, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will lose. What do you think?" the balding middle-aged man said.

"It's too rough, isn't it?" I said, "This kind of agreement has no constraints at all."

The balding middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Only with eternal interests, no eternal enemies, let alone eternal friends. What kind of agreement do you think is binding?"

I was choked, even the best distribution agreement is of no use if it is not followed?With the current situation, it is impossible for me to make a binding agreement in a short time.

"Okay, deal, everyone takes what they want!" Huang Mao made a final decision.
