Chapter 1575 Blackwater Village
After listening to Jiang Cheng's explanation, Fatty was somewhat frightened, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Jiang Cheng's guess was reliable, even if there was no direct evidence to prove it.
At noon, Jiang Cheng and Fatty went to the dining hall to eat as usual. The food was still the clear porridge that could reflect people's shadows. Each person was limited to one bowl. Fatty stared at the room full of sturdy monks, and his doubts became even greater. But this time they did not see Monk Huicong, and Monk Huide and others were not there.
Back in the room, touching his stomach, Fatty actually felt that he was not so hungry. "Strange, that bowl of porridge seemed to be quite filling. How do you feel?" He looked at Jiang Cheng.
The answer he got was the same as his own feeling. Jiang Cheng was also a little surprised that this bowl of clear porridge actually made him feel a little full.
There were too many weird things in this temple. Jiang Cheng sat on the bed and took out the paper man from Monk Huicong from his pocket.
"Doctor!" The fat man had sharp eyes, and from his angle he could just see the back of the paper man. "There seems to be words on the back!"
Flipping the paper man over, Jiang Cheng paused. Sure enough, there were two lines of words written crookedly on the back of the paper man.
The words were very small, and you wouldn't notice them unless you looked carefully.
"Killing people and setting fires will earn you a golden belt, while repairing bridges and roads will earn you no corpses." Jiang Cheng pinched the paper man, and was a little confused for a moment.
"What does this mean?" The fat man stared at the paper man with wide eyes. "Good people don't get good rewards?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "That's about right. Law-abiding people worry about their dreams every morning, while strong men enjoy themselves every night, and lament the injustice of the world.
There is no doubt that this must be Huicong's reminder to them.
After thinking for a moment, the fat man said, "Could it be like this? You see, Monk Huicong abides by the precepts, but he ends up like this, while evil monks like Huide and Huiming are eating and drinking well. Doesn't this just prove these two sentences, good people don't get good rewards?"
"Well, you make sense. This should be a warning. "After thoroughly checking the paper figure, Jiang Cheng found nothing else, so he put the paper figure back into his pocket and put it away carefully.
According to what they thought, the person who was going to die tonight was most likely the maid in that group.
And Jiang Cheng did not choose this person randomly. After all, according to observation, the second-generation Crimson members were generally not very old.
Among the "beneficiaries", the four people who best met the criteria were the heroic woman, the maid, the young man, and the little boy.
The young man was dead, and Huide's performance could rule him out, so there were only three people left.
Among the three, the little boy was too young and did not meet Jiang Cheng's expectations, while the heroic woman had an extraordinary temperament and obviously had a special identity. In Jiang Cheng's consideration, such a role was not easy to play. So after excluding these two people, the most likely person is the inconspicuous maid.
There is another important point about the heroic woman. This person may be useful in the future. Jiang Cheng does not want to disturb her for the time being.
And the group of people obviously became wary of the two of them. If there is a chance, Jiang Cheng wants to contact them in his dreams.
At least for the time being, facing the monks of Zhijie Temple, they, the outsiders, have the same position.
Because it is very likely that those incredible things will happen at night, so in the afternoon, Fatty Jiang Cheng took turns to take a nap, but just as Jiang Cheng fell asleep, his hidden mobile phone suddenly vibrated. After waking up, Jiang Cheng stared at the screen of the mobile phone, and his expression suddenly became a little nervous.
"It's Yao, Shun, and Yu!" Fatty also saw the note of the number and his expression became excited.
The call was connected, Jiang Cheng did not speak, and the other side did the same, but he could vaguely hear the breathing from the other side.
About 10 seconds later, a familiar voice slowly sounded from the other side, "Is it Tomie? "
Jiang Cheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his fingers that were tightly holding the phone also relaxed, "It's us, Yao Shunyu, how are you doing?"
Yes, this is the code they agreed on early in the morning. In addition to identifying identities, the code also has the function of warning. If the situation is okay, then Fu Jiang is used, and if the situation is critical, then Jiang Fu is used.
After hearing Jiang Cheng's voice, Yao Shunyu was obviously relieved, "Li Bai and I are together in a village called Heishui Village. We are trapped here."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie are not with you?"
"No, we woke up in this Heishui Village, and we didn't see the two of them at all. I thought they were with you." Yao Shunyu replied.
"We haven't heard of Heishui Village. Wang Fugui and I are in a temple called Zhijie Temple." Jiang Cheng asked: "Do you know the approximate location of the Heishui Village where you are? ”
The top priority now is to reunite as soon as possible.
“I don’t know. This village is isolated by a Black Water River. We tried to force our way across the river last night, but one person was captured.” Yao Shunyu’s voice became a little nervous, as if he was thinking of some horrific scene.
“One person was captured?”
“Yes, there are some people here besides me and Li Bai. We were given the identity of a traveler who encountered a mountain torrent and accidentally drifted to this remote Black Water Village.” Yao Shunyu explained.
Jiang Cheng quickly asked: “Besides you two, how many other people are there who drifted to Black Water Village with you?”
Yao Shunyu answered without hesitation, “There are still 8 people, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Cheng calmed down and roughly figured out the rules of this mission. All of them were dispersed, and then divided into groups of two and scattered in different places. Only when each of them cracked the task in their place could they gather together to perform the final mission.
In this way, Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie should be alive for the time being.
"Dinglinglingling——"
The piercing ring from the other end of the phone suddenly attracted Jiang Cheng's attention, "What are you doing on that end?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's an old bronze bell in our room. Li Bai was worried that there was something wrong with the bell, so he took it apart and took a look." Yao Shunyu said.
Yao Shunyu's tone was casual, but Jiang Cheng on this side slowly opened his eyes, "Bronze bell? How could you have a bronze bell there?"
Yao Shunyu also noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the bronze bell?"
"Can you roughly judge the era you are in?" Jiang Cheng spoke quickly.
"Probably in the late Republic of China." Yao Shunyu's voice was full of uncertainty, "In short, it is at least a few decades away from our era."
"Why are you asking this?" Yao Shunyu asked back.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and sat up straight involuntarily. "Don't be nervous when I tell you one thing. It seems that our two teams are separated into different worlds. We are in ancient times here."
