When Dr. Huang was in Gao Ning's state of mind, something strange suddenly appeared in his spiritual sense. Gao Ning was already distracted. As soon as he found the prompt, he concentrated on it. The spiritual sense scan data in that area was It became clearer.
Gao Ning narrowed his eyes, gently held the reins in his hand, and stopped the carriage.
Doctor Huang quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
"The thing was found!"
Gao Ning replied casually, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he reached his right hand into the car.
Doctor Huang looked at the right hand that was stretched out and was a little confused at first, but after thinking about it for a moment, there was an old lantern on the palm of his hand.
This lantern is extremely beautifully made and is actually a human-shaped Dunhuang Flying Apsara.
The goddess is graceful, with one hand in front and the other behind, her body is in an upward trend, the silk gauze hangs down naturally, and there are gentle ripples on the surface, as if she is flying in the wind.
There is a wax holder inside the lantern, and a white candle that is as thick as an adult's wrist and more than an inch long is tied on it.
This candle is very good. There are even fine lines carved on the surface, which makes it very beautiful.
The pure cotton was a little darkened, and the front end of the candle was slightly melted. It was obvious that this human skin lantern had been lit once before, but only for a short time.
Dr. Huang stared at the Dunhuang Flying Goddess lantern and was slightly stunned. She originally thought that the so-called lantern was just a red lantern hung by market merchants, but she did not expect it to be so exquisite.
Even though she was completely ignorant, she could see the ingenious craftsmanship of this lantern from the bamboo weaving structure and the clever integration of the goddess's clothes.
She never knew that an ordinary lantern could be made so exquisite.
After a while, Dr. Huang came back to his senses, only to find that the carriage had started up again, teleporting quickly towards the distance just as it had come.
She opened the curtains and only took a few glances, then she felt a little dizzy and didn't dare to look anymore. So she stretched out her green-white fingers, rubbed her temples, looked at the lantern and said, "Is it so easy to get it? Is it possible? Could it be a mistake? And, where did you get it?"
"Don't worry about this. Anyway, the things are right. We can go back!"
Gao Ning didn't want to go into details. There would be no benefit in saying it. It would only make Dr. Huang feel scared. Why bother to say it.
When his spiritual sense was touched just now, Gao Ning actually discovered a lot of things.
Despite its bright appearance, the house has actually been abandoned for a long time. The weeds in the yard have grown up to half a person's height. The house is obviously dilapidated and shows signs of weathering.
In both the main hall and the west wing, the doors and windows were blown down, and many tiles on the roofs were even lost.
Gao Ning seriously suspected that it was blown away on a windy day.
But this is just suspicion.
In this spacious and abandoned village, Gao Ning found a wooden house half embedded in the ground.
This wooden house seems to have been specially reinforced, and it also used rockeries and woods as a cover.
If those trees were not completely withered and turned into a pile of broken wood by lightning, ordinary people might not be able to find this underground wooden house.
In the wooden house, Gao Ning not only found this human skin lantern, but also found another seventeen or eight, but they were either damaged or not yet completed.
That's all.
What made Gao Ning a little silent and didn't want to tell the real reason was the skeletons of seven women in the basement of the wooden house, and the broken bones piled up and down in a mire next to a pond.
There are corpses, human skin lanterns, a workbench inside the wooden house, various professional tools, and wooden stakes and iron hooks underneath.
With Gao Ning's imagination, he instantly understood what was going on.
This is obviously the scene of a serial killer's crime.
There's just something wrong with the timing.
This guy who loves to use women's skins as lanterns is also missing...
However, I didn’t bring my most beloved lantern with me when I was in love. I guess something unexpected happened and I most likely died outside.
It was precisely because of the sudden incident that the seven women imprisoned in the basement of the wooden house starved to death.
And judging from the degree of decomposition of their bodies, they must have been dead for more than ten years.
Although I was slightly unhappy, I could only accept it.
Although Gao Ning is very powerful now, has all kinds of strange abilities, and can change some things without destructive power, he still has to abide by the basic rules.
It's already an established fact. Everyone has died and turned into bones. Even if we don't say anything, what will happen?
Therefore, Gao Ning never thought of mentioning this matter to Dr. Huang.
There's just one thing he doesn't quite understand.
Why did Master Kumu ask himself to find a human skin lantern?
Could it be that this wrinkled old monk, who seems to be stretching his legs and staring at any moment, wants to test me through this matter?
Or is there another deeper meaning?
When we returned to Zhushan, the sun had just set and the sky was not completely dark yet.
Gao Ning scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that there was no one in the wooden house.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and after pondering for a moment, he disappeared again with the carriage.
An hour later, Gao Ning appeared directly at the Guandi Temple in Hangzhou City with his carriage.
The function of Guandi Temple is rather magical. During the day, people offer incense and make wishes. There are temple residents, apprentices, masters, and other buyers and sellers in the temple. It is lively and lively. It does not seem to be much different from a normal temple fair.
But once night comes, Guandi Temple will be occupied by beggars from the city.
It's okay in winter, these guys only occupy the main hall, but in summer it's exaggerated, with people sleeping inside and outside.
These beggars are already dirty and smelly, with a weird smell all over their bodies, and when they gather together, it becomes even more so.
But it cannot be driven away, after all, it is an agreed upon thing.
It is natural for beggars to live in Guandi Temple, okay?
Although the weather has turned cold recently, it has not yet entered late autumn. With the beggar's anti-freezing ability, sleeping in the yard is still no problem.
So as soon as Gao Ning and the carriage appeared, they immediately frightened several beggars lying on the ground.
The eyes of these guys were as wide as light bulbs. Just when they were about to open their mouths and scream, a few hands quietly appeared behind them.
These young men tapped each person's carotid artery at a speed that was beyond their training, causing their vision to go dark, and they fell into unconsciousness without even saying a word.
The sound of falling to the ground was not too quiet. Although the door of Guandi Temple was closed, you could still hear it if you were careful.
But no one came out from inside.
Gao Ning used his spiritual sense to scan and found that there were indeed many beggars hiding in the big shop. These guys were all young and middle-aged, and judging from their clothes, they were obviously richer than the beggars lying in the yard. Some of them were
A few even had red faces after eating, obviously the food was good.
