Chapter 193: Making an attack in the east and attacking in the west
Xiang Xiaotian and Chen Mengsheng were chatting wordlessly in front of Zang Jiu's house, but they still had no clue about the person behind the massacre in Hulu Town. Chen Mengsheng stood up and opened the door of Zang Jiu's house behind him.
The furnishings were simple but neatly arranged. Xiang Xiaotian followed him into the room and said, "I didn't expect that old boy to be such a meticulous person!"
Chen Mengsheng lit the oil lamp on the table and looked around the room. There was only a table, four chairs, a row of bookshelves, a wardrobe against the wall and a large bed. Chen Mengsheng looked at the books on the bookshelf and turned around.
Xiao Tian said: "Zang Jiu is a scheming person. The classic books here are mainly about strategy. Brother, come over and take a look."
"What are all these things? Warring States Policy, Liu Tao, Guiguzi, Wei Liaozi... Brother, what do you want to see these for?" Xiang Xiaotian said confused.
Chen Mengsheng casually pulled out a classic book on the bookshelf. When he opened it, he saw that it was written in small regular script and had many annotations in the text. Xiang Xiaotian felt strange and imitated Chen Mengsheng's example and picked up the book to look through it. The two of them read
After half an hour, Xiang Xiaotian said impatiently: "Brother, what do you think these things are for? It's better to look elsewhere. Maybe you can find some clues."
Chen Mengsheng pointed to the book in his hand and said: "Brother, there are some dots in the books here, which seem to be a way to remember things. Look, there are two ink dots on the top of the page, ten ink dots on the bottom, and another
The word regret. What does this mean?"
"Come on, think about it slowly. I'll go and take a look under the table. Maybe this old boy will hide his secrets underground like Zang Laosan." He looked at Chen Mengsheng holding a book in one hand and licking his fingers with the other.
He didn't know what he was mumbling about. Xiang Xiaotian shook his head and searched carefully in the room. But this time, Xiang Xiaotian was at his wits end. He searched the room under the table and under the bed and found nothing.
Abnormal, in the end I cleaned out all the clothes in the closet and still found nothing...
Xiang Xiaotian fell down on the chair sweating profusely and asked with heavy breaths: "Brother, have you found anything? I checked that every brick here has been tamped, including beds, tables and cabinets.
The house is also clean and there is nothing suspicious. I wonder if this old boy Zang Jiu can't live well? Why is there not even some loose silver in the house for living expenses? This is too abnormal, isn't it?
?”
Chen Mengsheng slapped his forehead fiercely and said in an epiphany: "Well... how to live a good life? Big brother is really smart. He woke me up with one sentence. The numbers dotted on the page are the days written by Zang Jiu, up twenty and ten down.
It should be the count of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. The two dots above represent Yi, and the ten dots below represent You. Isn’t the year Yi and You the first year of Qian Dao?”
Xiang Xiaotian asked in confusion: "Brother, are you okay? Six or seven years have passed since the first year of Qian Dao. Why are you thinking of it now?"
Chen Mengsheng scratched his head and said: "I don't understand why Zang Jiu wrote the word "regret" on the page. Could it be that there are other secrets in these dotted circles? If he accidentally killed his relatives, there is no need to repent.
Write down this kind of crossword puzzle. What we lack most now are some clues in Calabash Town. Only by knowing more about Calabash Town can we bring the evildoers here to justice. Brother, help me find all the dots and circles on the bookshelf.
books."
Xiang Xiaotian stared at the bookshelf with nearly a hundred books in panic and said deflatedly: "You really should call the girl to do this. You let me turn over the book, won't you kill me? As soon as I see the prefixes on the book, it will be big."
Oh, my mother, there are so many books that I can read for dozens of lifetimes. That old boy Zang Jiu is so unreasonable, why do you have to write some crossword puzzles in the book?" After all, Xiang Xiao said
Tian still came over and helped Chen Mengsheng look through the classics page by page. When he encountered a book with a circle, he folded the footer and put it on the table behind Chen Mengsheng. The two of them were busy for nearly three days before they checked forty or fifty times.
There are only two or three books circled by Zangjiu. But there are some incomprehensible phrases and inexplicable ink spots on them...
Suddenly, there was a loud banging of drums and screams from the town. Xiang Xiaotian said as if he had received an amnesty, "Brother, let's not look for this troublemaker. Something big has happened in the town again. We can only waste time here."
Kung Fu.”
Chen Mengsheng threw down the book and shouted: "Brother, let's get the others to go and have a look. We can't be separated now. If we are alone, we are afraid of something unexpected."
"I understand this. Damn the evil guy, he really doesn't stop every night. Girl, girl, hurry up and call everyone, something happened again in the town..." Xiang Xiaotian opened his throat and let out a loud roar that shocked the people on both sides.
The lights were on in the house, and everyone came out of the house to look at Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian with sleepy eyes. They were startled by the sound of drums coming from outside.
After Chen Mengsheng and others arrived, he said: "We are all outsiders, so I'll get straight to the point. I still don't have a clue about the people behind the scenes in Hulu Town, and the town doesn't know what happened right now, so I
I want everyone to go together, and I just want everyone to take care of each other."
"Senior brother, we all understand your intentions. You are worried that the monster will deal with us just like it dealt with Zang Jiu. Sisters, let's go with our senior brother to prevent him from worrying about both ends." Everyone listened.
Shangguan Yanran nodded in silence, followed Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian and a group of people left Zang Jiu's mansion...
Chen Mengsheng followed the sound of drumming, and he felt more and more strange in his heart. The drumming came from the riverside where he lived before. The townspeople in Hulu Town he met on the way also didn't treat Chen Mengsheng and the others like before.
He was so cold and cold, and some even greeted Chen Mengsheng. People in the town slowly began to accept this man who had uncovered the treasure left by his ancestors in the town.
When Zang Gui saw Chen Mengsheng in the crowd, he looked embarrassed, and shouted to everyone: "Uncles and aunties, please save my brother! My brother... he is dying..."
As soon as Chen Mengsheng heard what Zang Gui said, he jumped up and rushed into the house. Zang Gui's daughter-in-law shivered and held on to the door frame of the south house, which collapsed into a ball of mud. She stared at the outside of the north house and was chopped off.
Zang Da's limbs were dying. Chen Mengsheng took up the nectar spell and injected it into Zang Da's body. People who followed Chen Mengsheng in Hulu Town were surprised to see the blood spurting from the broken limbs of Zang Da's body healed quickly under the green energy. Zang Gui Geng
It was Chen Mengsheng who knelt on the ground and couldn't help begging. Not long after, blood and bone grew again in Zangda's wound...
"Master, you are a living god. Can you save my brother?" Zang Gui asked carefully.
Chen Mengsheng shook his head sadly and said: "I can treat the trauma your eldest brother suffered, but your brother's soul has disappeared. Even after his limbs recovered, he became a soulless living dead. What exactly happened here?
thing?"
Zanggui asked several people to carry Zangda into the house, and then said to his wife: "Zhi, go in quickly and take care of the children of the two families. I can take care of the food here, alas! Our family is unfortunate!"
After giving instructions to his wife, Zang Gui turned around and said to Chen Mengsheng, "I don't know about this either. Tonight is like any other night. My brother and I took turns keeping vigil, fearing that the ghost of the strange fish would come again to cause trouble. We agreed
My eldest brother spent the first half of the night and I stayed the rest of the night. Just before I was burning incense, I vaguely heard the sound of chopping in the yard. I hurriedly came out... only to see my sister-in-law holding a big knife and chopping one after another.
My eldest brother..."
Chen Mengsheng asked: "What about your sister-in-law?"
"How did I know? When I saw my eldest brother in trouble, I beat the drum and called for help. I have never seen my eldest sister-in-law again."
Zanggui's daughter-in-law said with a pale face: "I...I saw...my sister-in-law went out with her eyes closed. I don't know where she was going. She did evil, she did evil..."
Chen Mengsheng immediately shouted to the people in the courtyard: "The most important thing now is to find Zangda's wife. She has lost her nature and become cruel and cruel. Everyone must be careful if they see her, Zangda has become a
The living dead without a soul may have a chance of turning around if he finds his wife."
"Master, are you trying to take back my brother's soul from my sister-in-law? I'll go look for it with you. It's useless if I stay here." Zang Gui said sadly.
Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said: "You stay here. If your sister-in-law comes back, beat the drum. I will come immediately to capture your sister-in-law and take back your brother's soul." After Chen Mengsheng finished speaking, he led the people in the town out.
I went to look for the whereabouts of Zangda’s wife. Hulu Town is surrounded by water. As long as the woman is still in Hulu Town, it is not difficult to find her...
The townspeople in Hulu Town were completely impressed by Chen Mengsheng's miraculous skills in rescuing Zang Dashi. They already regarded Chen Mengsheng as the savior and spread the news along the way. More and more townspeople came out to look for people in Hulu Town.
It only took about an hour to walk around this small area. At dawn, a hundred or so people found the door of Zangjiu's house. There was a shocking bloody fingerprint on the main door of Zangjiu's house. Chen Mengsheng saw Ji Ji
He shouted: "No, we have been fooled and fell into someone else's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Everyone, be careful..."
"Whoosh!" A white shadow flashed out from Zang Jiu's room, holding a knife and striking at Chen Mengsheng. Chen Mengsheng took a closer look and saw that the person was Zang Da's daughter-in-law. Unfortunately, she had also lost her soul and was wearing a
There were still specks of blood on her white clothes, and she was chopping and slashing wildly with her eyes closed as if she was desperate for her life. Chen Mengsheng was afraid that she would hurt innocent people, so he trapped her in the ring of fire with the Hell Breaking Curse.
The daughter-in-law was trapped in the ring of fire. Instead of being frightened, she burst into laughter.
"Jie Jie... Jie Jie..." The laughter was as sharp as a knife scratching on ceramics, which made people's hair stand on end. "You really have some ability. Anyone who wants to fight against me in Hulu Town will only die."
Ichigo. Foreigner, I have already tolerated you once. If you continue to be stubborn, don’t blame me for being merciless to you." From the mouth of Zangda’s wife, there came a shout of neither male nor female, feminine and uncertain.
pierced the ears of everyone present.
Chen Mengsheng also smiled and said: "Although I don't know who you are, and I don't know what methods you use to create tragic disasters in this town. But you didn't kill me when I lost my nature. This is doomed."
I will fight you to the end!"
"Okay, good. Let's wait and see. I have destroyed the clues Zang Jiu left. I want to see how you want to fight me, Jie Jie... Jie Jie..." Zang Da
The wife slashed her neck with a backhand knife, and Chen Mengsheng used his Thousand-foot Body Technique and stretched out a hand to block the big knife. As soon as the two of them had a close confrontation in the ring of fire, Chen Mengsheng felt that his arm was being struck by something unknown.
The thing vibrated. It was too late to try to snatch the big knife. The blade swiped Chen Mengsheng's hand, and Zangda's wife's head was decapitated between the fire and lightning...
