Chapter 1366 Spring God Lake

People in this era definitely don't have such things, so this unidentified woman should be like them, from the real world.

The woman's clothes were torn into a mess, but it can still be seen that it was a piece of coarse cloth, and the shape is indeed consistent with this world.

After thinking for a moment, Li Bai suddenly looked at the man with a sword, "General, where was this body found?"

"A side room on the second floor of the inn." The general recalled.

"There is only this body in the room, right?" Yao Shunyu seemed to have thought of something and asked.

The general nodded, "Yes, there is only this body, and the rest of the bodies are in their own rooms. Manager Wu and his wife are in their bedroom. Their two daughters are not married yet, so they live together. The body was also found in the boudoir. The waiter lives in the backyard." The general pointed with his hand, "It's that small house, and the body is behind the door."

Everyone looked in the direction of the general's finger. There was a small earthen house in the backyard. It was soaked in the flood and looked like it would collapse at any time.

"We want to go to the side room where the body was found. Is it convenient?" Zhang Qizheng bowed to the general and spoke politely.

"Please go ahead, masters."

The general seemed to have many things to deal with, so he assigned a soldier to take them there. Before leaving the backyard, Jiang Cheng subconsciously turned his head and found that the body that had been uncovered was covered again.

Six bodies covered with white cloth lay there quietly, lined up in a row. The general with a sword turned his face sideways and stared at the bodies, wondering what he was thinking.

Going up the stairs, the old wooden stairs were soaked in water. Every time you stepped on them, they would make a creaking sound. In this environment, it disturbed people.

The fat man stood on the stairs and looked down. The front hall of the entire inn was unrecognizable. There were debris everywhere, overturned tables and chairs, broken bottles and jars, and puddles of mud on the ground. There was a faint smell of rot in the air.

Jiang Cheng sniffed, and the uneasy premonition became stronger. He was not unfamiliar with the damp and rancid smell. It was the smell from the deep bottom of the water, cold, deep, and without sunlight...

He had smelled a similar smell during the Dahe Niangniang mission.

The doors of almost every room on the second floor were open, and the hinges of several doors were even broken, with the door panels hanging crookedly on them. Standing outside the door, the room was very messy.

The ground was slippery. Walking through a long corridor, the leading soldier stopped in front of a room, "Masters, this is the room."

This place was at the end of the corridor. The fat man stretched his neck to look into the room. This room was remote and the area inside was relatively small. From the layout, it was not used as a guest room, because there was no bed inside, only two large cabinets and a few broken wooden boxes. At this time, water was still dripping out along the gaps in the cabinets.

Everyone walked into the room one after another, but the soldier leading the way was embarrassed and hesitated to enter the room. Zhu Jie said sympathetically: "It's too small inside to accommodate so many people. You just wait for us outside."...

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't want to show it too obviously, "I will follow the arrangements of the masters."

After entering the room, everyone started to look around tacitly. Two wardrobes and several large boxes were not left out. It can be seen that this place was used as a warehouse by the innkeeper. Some clothes and bedding that were not used temporarily were stored, as well as candles, porcelain bottles and other sundries.

Soon, there was a discovery, "Found it!" It was Tang Qisheng who spoke. In front of him was a large wooden box with the lid opened. The things inside were all wet, and he was holding a sweatshirt in his hand, pink, with cartoon patterns on it.

Everyone took out all the things in the box. Looking at the things in front of him, Jiang Cheng realized that his previous guess had become a reality.

A pink sweatshirt, a gray coat, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, with a pair of white socks stuffed into the sneakers.

That's right, the unknown female corpse was a teammate who came to this world to perform a mission like them, but unfortunately she died last night, and no one even knew her name.

"Sure enough, our feeling is right. There is indeed something wrong with this inn. If we had stayed here last night, there would be one of our bodies lying in the backyard today." Gao Yanqing looked grim.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng suddenly said, "What you said is not accurate. This woman did not stay here. No one in the city would dare to open the door for her in this situation. She sneaked in."

"That's right." Yao Shunyu echoed, "This woman is not stupid. Judging from the situation, she didn't alarm anyone. I guess she just wanted to change into clothes of this era to better hide herself, but she didn't expect..."

Yao Shunyu stopped talking here, but everyone understood the meaning. The woman didn't expect that she had just come to this world, and in just a short time, she actually ran into a ghost and lost her life.

Recalling the frozen face of the woman and the gnawed and fragmented body, the fat man felt a chill in his heart.

After all, the person was dead, and there was nothing to hide. Lu Qin carefully searched the pockets of her clothes, but found nothing except a cell phone that was soaked in water and could not be turned on.

After cleaning up the scene, the group returned to the backyard. At this moment, the body had disappeared. The general stood in front of the earthen house, and several soldiers surrounded him, as if listening to the general's instructions.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's group returning, the general waved his hand to dismiss the soldiers, walked over and asked, "Masters, have you discovered anything?"

The mature and steady Zhang Qizheng replied: "Not yet."

It was obvious that there was a slight regret on the general's face, but he still nodded, "The masters have traveled a long distance to get here, and they are tired from traveling and traveling. We should have let the masters rest for a few days, but human lives are at stake, so..."

"The general's words are serious about matters within his duties." Tang Qisheng handed over his hand.

"That's good. You all, masters, have a good rest during the day. Later in the evening, I will host a banquet for you all. I have official duties, so I can't be with you for now." After the general finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Of course, before leaving, he left two soldiers behind for Jiang Cheng and others to dispatch, but that's what he said, but Fatty always felt that these two men were left to supervise them, fearing that they would run away in fear. …

But someone finally accompanied them. Jiang Cheng and others had many questions to ask about this city, the so-called Zhennan Hou Mansion, and what they were most interested in, the Spring God Lake dozens of miles away.

From the words of the two soldiers, everyone gradually deepened their understanding of the background of this world. This city is called Luo'an City. It is located on the border of the dynasty. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. Zhennanhou is the ruler of this city, and this Zhennanhou Nanhou is by no means an idle official under the shadow of his ancestors, but a real warrior on the battlefield. His achievements were made with his own hands, and he was able to take the city back to the dynasty. A large part of it was Zhennan. Hou's contribution.

Mentioning the Marquis of Zhennan, the two soldiers' faces were full of respect and awe, which they couldn't pretend to be. Beheading the general and seizing the flag on the battlefield has been the way to rule the roost since ancient times.

"Haha, I have long heard that the Marquis of Zhennan is very heroic. Today, what I heard from the two little brothers is an eye-opener for us. I don't know when I will be lucky enough to see it." Jiang Cheng changed the subject, "I heard that it is a few kilometers away from here. Ten miles away, there is a lake named Spring God. The name is really interesting. Is there any legend behind it? "

Unexpectedly, when they heard the words "Spring God Lake", the expressions of the two soldiers changed instantly. They hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing this, the fat man looked at Jiang Cheng and said cooperatively: "I told you not to ask. Don't you see that the two little brothers don't want to tell you? Don't embarrass them."

Hearing what the fat man said, one of the soldiers immediately became frightened, "Masters, you have misunderstood. It's not that we don't want to say it, it's that we really don't know much. We only know that the Spring God Lake is wide and the water is deep and the waves are strong. Even if Compared with the great rivers, it is no less impressive, and... and there are rumors that the lake... that lake is very strange."

"Strange?" Yao Shunyu looked very interested.

The soldier couldn't resist them. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "Yes, it's strange. In the middle of summer, the water in the lake is so cold that it's scary. If someone fiddles with the water a few more times, he will return home at night and lie on the bed. "My bones are all cold and painful, and I have to drink some decoction for a few days."

"Also, the fish in the lake are so big that they are scary. Their eyes are staring straight at people, which makes people feel panic. It is said that there were once an expert who passed by and said that there are hidden things in this lake. All the creatures in the lake are disturbed by the evil spirit. If anyone eats something from the lake and the evil spirit enters his body, he will lose his life and life, or he will be plagued by disasters, and even... even a bloody disaster! "

"The bloody disaster..." Gao Yanqing subconsciously thought of what happened in the inn. Shopkeeper Wu's family was wiped out. This was not a bloody disaster.

Perhaps seeing everyone's hesitation, another soldier immediately explained: "Masters, please don't think too much. The death of Shopkeeper Wu and his family has absolutely nothing to do with eating food from the lake. They will never dare to eat food from the lake." Things, not to mention them, no one in Luo'an City dares to do it. "

"Because of that expert's words?" Zhu Jie asked with a frown.

It’s not that she didn’t believe what the soldier said, she just thought it was impossible. After all, it was just a fluffy remark. But according to what the soldier said, the catch in Spring God Lake was real, because just one sentence cut off the fishermen’s livelihood. This doesn't make sense. …

Hearing this, the soldier did not defend himself, but lowered his voice, "Of course it is not because of this expert's words, but because of the Zhennan Hou Mansion. This is the order of the Hou Mansion. Anyone who dares to go fishing in Chunshen Lake without authorization , or cast a net to catch something..." The soldier paused, stretched out his hand and pulled hard on his neck, "If you catch him, you will die."

"So serious?" The fat man opened his eyes wide.

The soldier swallowed and nodded.

After this discussion, Jiang Cheng and others became very interested in the so-called Zhennan Marquis, and they also vaguely sensed the mystery of this person.

In the following time, Jiang Cheng and others wanted to extract more information from the soldiers, but it was unknown whether the two soldiers really didn't know or didn't want to tell. After that, they didn't ask for any valuable clues.

Tang Qisheng, on the other hand, asked the two soldiers whether there were any customs or special habits in Luo'an City. The fat man listened carefully. The two soldiers said something here and there. The fat man listened for a while and felt that it was not interesting. No more, but Tang Qisheng looked very interested. It seemed that if he had a pen and paper in his hand, he would still listen and take notes.

They were walking in the area around Fu'an Inn. Pedestrians on the road would take the initiative to avoid them when they encountered them. They would occasionally glance at them, but also with very careful eyes, which made Fatty extremely uncomfortable.

Someone brought food at noon. This time it was real food, no longer hard cakes. The food was specially for them. Originally, there was no portion for the two soldiers, but Jiang Cheng just meant it, and the two soldiers I actually sat down and ate with them. It was obvious that these soldiers' daily living conditions were not good, but they ate ordinary meals as if they were delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

After the meal, after this period of contact, the soldiers gradually became less wary of Jiang Cheng and others. Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to ask them about the corpses in the inn and where they were transported. One of the soldiers burped. , while naturally replying that the corpses were taken away, this is the rule, the corpses cannot be kept overnight.

"Did this kind of thing happen often before?" Zhu Jie took the opportunity to ask as he poured a glass of wine for the soldier.

It can be seen that the soldier was not willing to talk about these things at first, but after all, after eating other people's food and drinking some wine, he gradually lost control of his words, "It wasn't like this before, but it's really weird recently, as far as I know. You know, including Shopkeeper Wu and his family, this is already the fourth time.”

"Are all four cases the same?" Jiang Cheng asked, "I mean the scene was full of water."

"Yeah." The soldier paused, "Everything I come into contact with is pretty much the same. It's all water. It's the same in every scene. And the most evil thing is, do you know? This water is all from Spring God Lake. The water in it is The fragrance of beauty is unique to Chunshen Lake, the only one in the world."

"But Spring God Lake is far away from here, at least dozens of miles. How do you think this water...so much lake water came from such a long distance?"

"Could it be that it overflowed from the well?" Yao, Shun, and Yu took the opportunity to answer, but continued to talk.

"No, it's impossible." The soldier drank some wine and his face turned red quietly. "Not all of these houses have wells. Moreover, our people have checked and found that there is nothing wrong with those wells. The water seems to emerge out of thin air from the ground. of."

"And it has happened so many times, and every time no one is left alive, and every household is dead. Do you think this is evil or not?"
