Chapter 1395: Monument without Words

"Good idea, or you have a way!"

The fat man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh that the doctor's little brain was useful. They were rarely plotted against by others when they were with the doctor, and most of the time it was the doctor who plotted against others.

Led by Yao, Shun and Yu, the group quickly found the backyard. The wall of the backyard was very high, almost the same as the wall of the marquis' mansion outside. A dark door in the middle stopped them.

Although the door looked simple and plain, it was very solid. Li Bai reached out and knocked, and there was almost no echo. He put his palm on the door again, and suddenly pulled it back after a moment.

"What's wrong?" The fat man asked with some vigilance.

"It's the dark wood." Li Bai lowered his voice, "It's a heavy evil spirit."

Jiang Cheng imitated Li Bai and put his palm on the door. The next second, a heavy chill invaded his body along his arm, as if the bone residue was emitting cold air, but Jiang Cheng didn't care. He pushed the door hard, and the door didn't move.

Locked?

There was no lock outside the door, so it seemed to be inside.

The few of them would not break in rashly. Although they would not be visited by ghosts during the day, there were more than just ghosts that could kill people. If they were discovered by the people in the mansion, it would be hard to guarantee that they would not cause trouble.

"Climb over the wall." Jiang Cheng looked up at the wall that was more than 3 meters high and made up his mind.

Seeing that there was nothing to leverage on, the fat man leaned against the wall, took a horse stance, and crossed his hands, "Come, I'll take you up."

Jiang Cheng took two steps, stepped on the fat man, and used the force to jump up. He firmly grasped the edge of the wall with both hands, then stuck his head out and looked into the backyard. He observed for half a minute and saw no danger, so he flipped over. There was a sound of landing behind the wall, and soon after, Jiang Cheng's voice came: "No problem, come over."

The next one was Yao Shunyu. His movements were almost the same as Jiang Cheng's. As for Li Bai, her skills were much worse than Jiang Cheng's. In order to take care of her, the fat man squatted down and let her step on his shoulders, then stood up slowly against the wall and sent her up steadily.

Riding on the wall in a very stable but not very elegant posture, Li Bai looked down at the fat man under the wall and asked with some concern: "We are all here, what will you do?"

No matter inside or outside the wall, people left alone are not reassuring. After this period of getting along, she also regards Jiang Cheng and the fat man as her friends.

"Don't worry about him, just take care of yourself. The ground below is uneven. Be careful not to hurt your ankles when you jump down. Jiang Cheng looked around and answered indifferently, as if he was not worried about Wang Fugui's problem at all.

As Li Bai just landed, the next second, she felt a gust of wind passing by her side, the ground shook, and the fat man landed steadily on the ground, then shook his clothes and stood up, walking towards Jiang Cheng as if nothing had happened.

Li Bai, even Yao, Shun and Yu couldn't help but secretly gasp when they saw this scene. Li Bai raised his head suspiciously and looked at the towering wall again.

This courtyard The interior of the place was similar to what Yao, Shun and Yu had described. The surroundings were not only dilapidated, but also desolate and uninhabited for a long time. A large area inside was covered with weeds.

After looking for a while, Jiang Cheng quickly discovered the abnormality. The growth of this large area of ​​weeds was a bit too vigorous, almost half a person's height. The further in, the more exaggerated the growth of weeds, and there was a clear boundary between this area of ​​weeds and the outside, as if these weeds were only allowed to grow in this area.

Yao, Shun and Yu stretched out his hand and carefully pointed at the weeds, whispering: "The tombstones are hidden inside, there are many, probably hundreds. "

Jiang Cheng nodded, then turned around and started walking towards the back of the courtyard gate. Before deciding to enter the wasteland, he needed to make sure that the back road was safe.

But it didn't matter at first glance, but he saw a big problem. This door was not locked. No, it's not that there is no lock, but... but this door can't be opened at all!

I don't know what was used between the two door panels, and the gap in the middle was almost sealed. The whole door has become a whole at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Yao Shunyu felt cold behind his head and said in disbelief: "How... How is it possible? I clearly remember that I walked out through this door last night. "

The situation has changed, but Jiang Cheng is really unwilling to give up now. The morning sun has risen, and the sunlight shines on his body, slightly dispelling the chill in his heart. Jiang Cheng made up his mind, "Everyone be careful, there is something wrong here, if we find anything abnormal, we will leave immediately. "

The group stepped into the half-human-high weeds, no more than 2 meters apart. Jiang Cheng and Yao Shunyu walked in front, and soon they met the tombstone Yao Shunyu mentioned.

The so-called tombstone is actually an upright wooden sign. Most of the wooden sign is black, but you can still see that it is mixed with a little wood color. It feels very strange to the touch. It is not cold, but also has an indescribable warm feeling. After Li Bai looked at it for a moment, his brows shrank slightly, "It's the Thunder Wood."

"Thunder Wood?" The fat man was very unfamiliar with this word.

"It's the Thunder Wood." Jiang Cheng stared at the wooden sign, and a trace of doubt flashed across his brows. There is a saying among the people that the Thunder Wood is split by thunder and lightning from the sky, used to punish evil things in the world, or some monsters that have crossed the calamity. Ghosts are deeply afraid of it. It is a powerful deterrent to avoid evil magic. People in the Xuanmen even use Thunder Wood to make magic tools.

But because of its extremely strong and masculine nature, it is particularly taboo in tombs. It is said that there was once a demon who ate human hearts and was captured by righteous people. After killing him, his body was buried in a coffin made entirely of thunder wood. It is said that in this way, his ghost can no longer do evil, but will be trapped in the coffin forever, suffering from the pain of thunder gnawing at the heart.

The effect of using thunder wood as a tombstone can be imagined. It is definitely a nightmare for the buried person.

What's even more strange is that Jiang Cheng and his men carefully looked through the wooden sign and did not find the name on it. It turned out to be a blank sign!

They found several wooden signs in succession nearby, almost all of which were the same.

As they went deeper and deeper, the wooden signs that appeared became taller and taller, and the quality and workmanship of the lightning-struck wood became better and better. Gradually, a strange phenomenon attracted everyone's attention. These wooden signs were not very regular. It was not obvious at the beginning, but as the workmanship of the signs became more and more refined, this feature also emerged. These signs were all narrower on the top and gradually widened at the bottom, like a huge irregular arrow stuck upside down in the ground.
