Chapter 1272 Found
The moonless time lasted much longer than everyone imagined. What was even more strange was that after the moon disappeared, the atmosphere in the Wu Mansion also changed subtly, as if something sleeping in the darkness woke up.
The flow of time became slow, and the deadlock was broken by a vibration of the phone.
The next second, everyone looked at their phones.
Luo Tianhe sent a message. In the group of people, there was a short and somewhat exaggerated name number: 2, Yuan Shanyuan, 3, Bai Yu, 4, Wang Fugui, 5, Yao Shunyao, 6, Li Bai, 7, Jiang Cheng, 8, Lin Qianqian.
Obviously, Luo Tianhe himself was the missing number 1.
After receiving the message, Yuan Shanyuan and Bai Yu set off. They did not see Luo Tianhe along the way. After turning a corner, the scene in front of them made the mature and steady Yuan Shanyuan frown.
In the night, the gate of Wu's mansion was wide open. From his position, he could just see the empty street. Even if there was no moon in the night sky, he could see clearly near the gate because there were several large lanterns hanging on the left and right of the gate.
When he approached, Yuan Shanyuan made a new discovery. The solid threshold of the gate was removed and placed diagonally on the ground. The ground behind the threshold was dug up. There was a pit more than half a meter deep on the ground, and a hoe was thrown beside the pit.
There were also several marked locations nearby. In fact, they were just pieces of paper with numbers written on them, from 2 to 8. In order to prevent them from being blown away by the wind, they were pressed with a silver dollar.
The corners of the white paper were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound. Combined with the large white lantern in Bai Yu's hand... This scene actually gave people a sense of visiting a grave.
Instead of digging out the resentful baby right away, Yuan Shanyuan walked towards the location of the hoe, squatted down, and picked up the hoe. The sharp end of the hoe was covered with mud. Combined with the pit in front of him, it was obvious that Luo Tianhe used this hoe to dig out the fetus, and the traces on the edge of the pit could also confirm this.
But Yuan Shanyuan knew that things were not that simple. He slowly scraped off the mud on the hoe and looked carefully. After finding nothing unusual, he put his nose close to it. After a few seconds, Yuan Shanyuan suddenly smiled.
Sure enough, there was a problem.
He smelled a faint smell of blood, which was still very fresh. Someone had smeared blood on the sharp end of the hoe.
No need to ask, it must be Luo Tianhe.
And using a bloody hoe to dig a hole here to find the fetus... Just thinking about it will not have a good result. Now is the time of the month, the yin energy is strong, and the bloody smell plus the noise of digging the soil is likely to wake up the resentful baby who has not yet awakened. Even if Bai Yu protects him, I am afraid he will not escape death. Luo Tianhe, this damn old fox...
Leaving the hoe behind, Yuan Shanyuan found a small room not far away with his memory. He pushed open the door and saw many tools piled up against the wall behind the door. This is where the servants of the Wu Mansion store tools. Yuan Shanyuan paid special attention to it during the day.
I think the hoe was taken from here by Luo Tianhe. He did dig the hole with the hoe, but after trying it out, this old fox secretly smeared blood on the hoe, then covered it with a layer of mud, and pretended that nothing happened and left it to others.
If I hadn't been more careful, I would have been fooled by him today.
But it was good to do so. With Luo Tianhe's help in clearing out the others, he would save himself the trouble. When the time was right, he would only need to clear out Luo Tianhe, the old fox, and the remaining survivors.
"It saves us from having to do it tonight."
Yuan Shanyuan chuckled a few times, then selected two handy tools from the assorted tools, returned to the main entrance, found the paper marked with 2, and started digging.
He was assured of the marked position. He was sure that Luo Tianhe would never dare to tamper with it. Otherwise, if the formation eye was destroyed and caused big trouble, everyone in the Wu Mansion would be in trouble, including Luo Tianhe. He was not that stupid.
As he dug deeper and deeper, Yuan Shanyuan became more and more careful. In the end, he threw away the tools and began to clean up the soil with his hands. Finally, his fingertips touched something very hard.
At the same time, he felt a chill that penetrated his bones.
"Found it!"
After carefully cleaning away the excess dirt nearby, the object finally came into Yuan Shanyuan's sight. It was a porcelain bottle that was not very big. The mouth of the bottle was sealed and covered with a black hard shell that looked like wax.
He slowly pulled the porcelain bottle out of the pit with his two hands. As the porcelain bottle shook slightly, a strange noise came from inside, as if a large object was soaking inside and kept hitting the bottle wall.
The similar scene that Yuan Shanyuan could think of was the specimen bottle in the specimen display room.
The next second, before he could react, a cry suddenly came from behind his head.
The cry came without warning, and what was even more terrifying was that it was very close to him, as if it was just behind his scalp. Yuan Shanyuan's whole body, and even his soul, trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to turn back.
But he controlled it abruptly. He felt that his entire back was stiff, as if he was frozen, as if a layer of ice had formed, and this layer of ice was still spreading and expanding.
At the same time, his right shoulder became colder and colder, a chill penetrated from the outside to the inside, his right arm trembled violently, and even the porcelain bottle in front of him was about to be unstable.
It was as if an invisible, extremely cold hand was about to touch his shoulder.
He had already had a Yang fire extinguished on his left shoulder, on the way to the funeral of Mr. Wu in the early morning. If the Yang fire on his right shoulder could not be saved, then he would be in real danger.
The next second, a hand was placed on his right shoulder.
It was a slender pale hand. At the same time, Yuan Shanyuan could finally take a breath again. He dragged the porcelain bottle out of the pit and laid it flat on the ground. Bai Yu stood behind him, covering Yuan Shanyuan's right shoulder with his right hand.
Yuan Shanyuan gritted his teeth and tilted the porcelain bottle slightly. Sure enough, he found a piece of yellow cloth at the bottom of the bottle. After so many years, the cloth not only did not rot, but the red mark on it was still clear, looking like a ghost painting.
"No wonder Mr. Wu didn't arrange someone to guard here. It turns out that he still has this trick."
With this talisman, combined with the terrain here, if you don't understand the mystery, the end of moving these forbidden porcelain bottles without authorization is death, and it is first extinguished after the yang fire, and then die tragically in the hands of the resentful baby.
Now even if the eye of the formation is broken, the danger is not as great as before, but as long as you take away the resentful baby bottle, you will definitely be backfired by the talisman under the porcelain bottle and attract the resentful baby.
Luo Tianhe couldn't be unaware of this, he did it on purpose, whoever came to dig out the Resentful Infant Bottle tonight would have at least one of their Yang Fires extinguished, Luo Tianhe was no exception.
But what Yuan Shanyuan couldn't figure out was what Luo Tianhe relied on, could he be willing to lose a Yang Fire for nothing?
