Chapter 1029 The Secret of the Castle
Seeing Xu Mingguang looking at those people, the servant said to him: "The workers in this farm are all disabled, and there are many deaf-mute people. They communicate with each other in dumb language."
This explanation was completely beyond Xu Mingguang's expectations.
But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Disabled people work in the farm. At night, it is inconvenient for those with limited legs and feet. Therefore, those who work at that time are all deaf-mute. Naturally, it is impossible for them to talk during the working process. Can only make gestures to each other.
They were separated by a distance and it was still foggy, so they couldn't see clearly what was going on here. They could only feel that their movements seemed unusual and too quiet.
But even if he figured out this section, Xu Mingguang felt a little disappointed in his heart.
I thought that the abnormal situation in this farm was the best proof of the resurrection of those zombies, but I didn't expect that the cause of this situation was only a group of deaf-mute people.
Although he witnessed all this with his own eyes, Xu Mingguang still couldn't believe it. He took a deep breath and asked the servant, "Why do disabled people have to be employed in the farm? Is there something special about it?" s reason?"
The servant smiled and said, "Beland is a small place, and there are very few jobs that can be provided. Even for able-bodied people, it is not easy to find a job, let alone these disabled people? The Earl hired them to work here. It can be regarded as a kindness, giving them a chance to support themselves."
Xu Mingguang nodded and said with a smile, "The earl is really kind-hearted, which I admire very much."
Since he couldn't find anything useful in the farm, Xu Mingguang pretended to take a stroll and went back home.
Hearing what Xu Mingguang said to him, Zheng Songru showed a relieved expression on his face, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that we have misunderstood everything. Since there is no such witchcraft, why are you looking for something? Secret passages?"
"This witchcraft must exist, and what we saw that night must have been zombies." Xu Mingguang showed a strange expression on his face, "The count must have seen those zombies because we saw them, and he was afraid that we would become suspicious. Even if such a play was arranged, Bayland is such a small city, how could there be so many disabled people? This in itself is quite unreasonable."
Zheng Songru didn't know anything about Belland. He came here really for fun. Seeing Xu Mingguang's confident look, he couldn't help but scratched his hair, with a very bewildered expression on his face.
Contrary to Zheng Songru's confusion, Xu Mingguang has obviously done his homework, and continued: "He made it clear that he had a ghost in his heart, and it also proved that this witchcraft really exists. On the contrary, it made me more convinced. , so after returning to the castle, I want to propose to visit those collections."
Zheng Songru was dumbfounded when he heard that.
In addition to being shocked, a trace of uneasiness arose in his heart.
At that time, he himself couldn't explain what the uneasiness was all about, but he felt that Xu Mingguang seemed to be too stubborn on this matter, as if he was a little crazy.
It wasn't just Zheng Songru who thought this way, Zheng Yue who was listening to him talk about the incident back then also felt this way, and Tang Feng at this moment also felt the same way.
While drinking tea, Tang Feng frowned and said, "What is the purpose of Xu Mingguang wanting this kind of witchcraft?"
Zheng Yue shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa just thought that Xu Mingguang had a fanatical pursuit of this witchcraft, but he didn't think to ask him why. When he thought of this question later, Xu Mingguang had already If you die, this will become an eternal mystery."
While speaking, Zheng Yue also poured a cup of tea. While drinking the tea, with a slightly thoughtful expression on his face, he said, "Although there is no final answer, I guess, for a big family, to be able to have such Such almost weird abilities are useful in any way."
It is really astonishing that the means of resurrecting the dead, turning them into zombies and controlling them are in the ears of ordinary people.
But Tang Feng didn't take it seriously.
Because the spells he knows, or in other words, the spells he can master are hundreds of times more advanced than this.
Not to mention anything else, Zixuan's soul control technique is several levels higher than the corpse control book.
What's more, according to Zheng Yue's description, strictly speaking, this is not a technique of controlling corpses at all, but just the use of poison.
It's really not worth it for Xu Mingguang to lose his life for such a small trick.
When Xu Mingguang proposed to visit the collection, the housekeeper of the castle also agreed.
After all, the Earl had ordered them to be distinguished guests, and he had to fulfill their requests.
Furthermore, Xu Mingguang made an even more excessive request, that is, he wanted to visit alone.
After hesitating for a while, the butler agreed again.
According to the housekeeper's thinking, such a high-ranking guest would not do anything sneaky, that is, he would not be afraid of them stealing away the collection, so he felt relieved to let Xu Mingguang visit alone.
Xu Mingguang pretended to visit those things on the surface, but he was actually studying the structure of the castle carefully, trying to find out if there were any secret rooms hidden in the castle.
It can be considered that the hard work paid off, after three days of careful searching, he really found it.
Xu Mingguang found a mechanism in a basement below the castle. After opening it, there was a long and narrow passage inside.
The first time he discovered this passage, there was no lighting, and it was very dark inside, so he couldn't enter. The next day, he prepared lighting tools and entered it again, but when he walked to the end, he found another entrance there. , was tightly closed, unable to open it with the strength of a single person, and then retreated resentfully.
Then he was always looking forward to Zheng Songru's return, so that he could have a glimpse of the secrets of the castle with him.
Zheng Yue shook his head, sighed and said, "Grandpa said that he was bewitched by ghosts at that time, so he just followed Xu Mingguang to the direction of the basement. , it was very lively during the day, but at night, everyone went to rest. Walking in this empty place made grandpa feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if he felt a little scared, but that When he was still young, it was the time to win, so naturally he would not admit it."
