Chapter 1398: Sinking
The fat man was stunned when he heard this, and then a chill surged under his feet. Yes, the doctor was right. The Zhennan Marquis who could kill such a monster in one battle was the truly terrifying guy!
In such an era without accurate heavy firepower, the fat man could only think of disciples fighting disciples. Could it be that... Could it be that the Zhennan Marquis also had an army composed entirely of disciples, or that the Zhennan Marquis himself was a super disciple, whose strength surpassed that of all the people of General Guo?
The questions he could think of were naturally also thought of by Jiang Cheng, but Li Bai shook his head, "No, the book does not record any good record of Zhennan Hou. Apart from defeating General Guo, this is more like an accident. And if Zhennan Hou is really a top disciple with super strength, then he would not shrink in the mansion all day long, in a state of panic.
Li Bai and others still remember that not long after entering the mansion, Zhennan Hou's strange disease relapsed. Combined with the layout of the mansion, it is not difficult to guess that Zhennan Hou was killed by a fierce ghost, and it is probably the resentful spirit of General Guo and others.
Although the case is confusing, it all revolves around one center, that is, what happened on Chunshen Lake that night many years ago?
From the dream encountered, and the lotus pond water ghost narrated by the fat man Yao Shunyu, it can be basically confirmed that General Guo and others were indeed buried in Chunshen Lake. What they left here are cenotaphs, and the real bodies should still be at the bottom of Chunshen Lake. The story told by the old fisherman can also confirm this.
In the experience of the old fisherman, he heard the water ghost There was a sound of someone knocking on the bottom of the boat. It should be the ghosts at the bottom of the Spring God Lake, the wronged souls of General Guo and others.
It seems that they will have to go to this Spring God Lake sooner or later.
Unfortunately, without finding the bodies, they cannot determine the cause of death of General Guo and others, whether they died of knife wounds, poisoning, or more directly drowned.
The fat man had sharp eyes and found that there was a red cloth bag in the coffin. The red on the cloth bag was not very uniform, as if it was painted later, and the base color should be white.
The fat man picked up the cloth bag, and the bag It was not very big. He shook it with his hand. There was a clattering sound of bamboo sticks colliding inside. After opening it, the fat man opened his eyes wide. There were wooden pieces inside. The wooden pieces were also red and made into the shape of command arrows. The fat man looked more and more familiar. Isn't this the death card inserted on the grave? It's just shrunk many times.
Li Bai seemed to be used to it. He nodded to the fat man as if to comfort him, "Don't worry, this thing is harmless to us. It is similar to the lightning-struck wooden death card outside. It only works on the person in the coffin."
"What is this?" Hearing that it was harmless, the fat man didn't rush to throw it out. He looked at it curiously.
"This is called the Soul Order. It was made by some evil Taoist priests. It is a curse that damages Yin virtue. The bag outside is a white cloth bag, and then the blood from the tip of the tongue of a hanged person is smeared on the bag. It is said that this can bring the curse you want to say to the Yin Messenger. There are 18 command arrows in this bag, corresponding to the 18 ancient death sentences. "
"Lingchi, chariot dismemberment, beheading, waist cutting, skinning, burning, boiling, disembowelment, laparotomy, shooting, drowning, strangulation, poisoning, burning, nailing skulls, burying alive, cannibalism, and others."
Listening to Li Bai's introduction of 18 tortures like a treasure, the fat man felt uncomfortable all over. Thanks to his magical imagination, it seemed that he had experienced all these tortures while talking.
The fat man shrank his neck, "Then...what is the use of this soul order?"
"When the ghost messenger who comes to lead the soul sees this bag, he will understand the text inside and regard this person as a person of great sin. Let this person's soul enter the underworld and be punished. The punishment method is extremely cruel. To experience all 18 tortures, it is said that most ghosts can't stand it." Li Bai said here and sighed slightly.
"What if you can't stand it?" The fat man continued to ask.
"The soul flies away and is shattered. "Jiang Cheng took over and sealed the topic. Now is not the time for idle chat.
The fat man fiddled with the command arrows in the bag. Who would have thought that these exquisitely crafted little things were such sinister wrinkles? Sure enough, in this world, the most cruel are people.
Just as he was about to throw the Soul Order far away, suddenly, the fat man unexpectedly discovered that the command arrows in it did not seem to be 18 as Li Bai said. He counted them carefully again. Yes, there were 17, one less.
Hearing the fat man calling her again, Li Bai took the bag and counted them carefully. Her eyebrows were raised, "Yes, it's really 17, one less Soul Order! "
Li Bai, who is well versed in this, understands that although those evil Taoists who specialize in this art are vicious, their methods are very sophisticated and they will never make such low-level mistakes.
Jiang Cheng, Yao, Shun and Yu also gathered together, but the two of them knew nothing about the so-called Soul Order. This thing is unpopular. Li Bai was able to find it through a very senior predecessor. The predecessor taught her orally and face to face, so she remembered it.
But at this time everyone obviously felt something unusual. Jiang Cheng walked back to General Guo's coffin. After searching for a while, he also searched out a bag of Soul Orders from General Guo's armor. He poured them out and counted them. Sure enough, there were also 17!
"Since there are 18 kinds of torture, there are only 17 left now. What is the missing one?" Jiang Cheng looked at Li Bai and asked.
Li Bai was holding a command arrow and checking it carefully. Yao Shunyu took one and found that there were several inscribed spells at the end of the command arrow. He naturally couldn't understand it, but from Li Bai's appearance, she seemed to be able to understand some, although it was very reluctant.
The fat man squatted beside Li Bai. He looked at Li Bai's rigorous look and couldn't help but feel envious in his heart. He had little knowledge and understood little, so he always suffered losses and suffered from lack of culture.
Soon, after a careful check, Li Bai finally found the missing command arrow, "It's... it's Shenshui, the Shenshui order is missing!"
"What does the missing Shenshui order mean?" The fat man asked: "The soul of this corpse no longer needs to be drowned?"
The fat man asked very carefully. He didn't think those evil Taoist priests, especially the people of Zhennan Houfu who found those evil Taoist priests, would be so kind.
"I know, I know where the last command arrow is!" Li Bai excitedly threw away the rest of the command arrows in his hand, jumped into the coffin, and under the gaze of everyone, he dug his fingers into the mouth of the wooden man, and then fumbled for a while, and soon, he took out an exquisite command arrow.
Needless to say, it was the last sinking order!
"These people all died in the water disaster!" Li Bai held the sinking order and said firmly: "No mistake!"
