Chapter 283 What happened in the secret room
Zhou Qing and Tang San climbed down the ladder for nearly ten meters and finally reached the bottom.
Since the upper hole was covered by the bookshelf again, the light here was darker - there was a slight light source behind the two of them.
The two turned around and saw a passage about twenty or thirty meters long. They picked up the second version of the Soul Guide Zhuge Shen Crossbow and aimed it at the front and back respectively, always being vigilant.
The two are back to back.
Tang San took a step forward, and Zhou Qing took a step back, and they walked along the passage together.
After walking through the passage, Tang San was the first to see the scene in the secret room——
There are human skin masks hanging on the surrounding walls!
That is definitely real human skin!
There are four skeletons placed in the corner of the wall. The bones are old but new, with different lengths. They are made of different human bones!
There is a low desk in the center, surrounded by four narrow beds, on which lie four pale, even bloodless women, covered with thick black beds. The quilt was wrapped tightly.
In addition, this secret room was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
"Ugh——"
Zhou Qing retched, turned around from behind Tang San, raised his hand to slap in front of his nose, frowned and said, "No one? But why is it so smelly here? The smell of rust in the blood almost makes me feel like my brain is being pressed. It’s like being in rust, and the rust has been soaked in feces and urine.”
Zhou Qing's eyes trembled as he walked forward and saw the faces of the four women clearly.
These were the other pregnant women he and Ning Rongrong rescued at that time!
"The face is bloodless, the mouth and nose are breathless, and they are dead." Tang San checked briefly, sighed, and saw Zhou Qing's stern face, confused, "Do you know them?"
"They are just like Aunt Wang. They are rural pregnant women brought to Luo Xing City by the people from the City Lord's Palace..." Zhou Qing said calmly and completely described the situation at that time, but in his tone, With a hint of remorse.
He thought they could go back safely.
But——
Not really.
Perhaps, he had already guessed that a similar situation would happen, but he had a sense of luck... thinking that he had a mission... thinking that he could not help others... and so on, many excuses.
"Brother Qing?"
Tang San patted Zhou Qing's shoulder and consoled him, "This is not your fault, but the fault of Dales and the guy hiding behind the scenes."
"Think too much, I will not kidnap myself morally."
Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, but his eyes became sharper, "It's just that after seeing them die violently, I felt a little emotional and became more clear about what I wanted..."
After the words fell, there was a vague blood-colored aura flowing on Zhou Qing's body surface, and the martial spirit of the blood circulation system also actively possessed the body, running together with the innate internal meridian diagram, as if there was an invisible power of shock erupting.
Like fire and stars, surging and endless!
"Brother Qing!"
Tang San was keenly aware of this invisible force, and the blood flow around his body suddenly accelerated at this moment, and even his mental power was faintly shaking.
If he hadn't been protected by Xuantian Kung and had the two martial arts innately carried by him running, he might have fainted by now.
And he immediately realized that this was the kind of "faith" that Zhou Qing mentioned...the power!
belief? How appropriate!
From what Tang San felt, this force was formless and qualityless. It did not use soul power, mental power, or qi and blood as its carrier. It could spread directly from the body to the outside, shaking not only the spirits of others, but even deeper ones. Every soul trembled at this.
"Sorry."
Zhou Qing immediately stopped running the Xiantian Nei Jing Diagram, allowing this invisible power of belief to dissipate. "Unknowingly, I used this power again, and it was still in my sober state..." ·I understand a little bit, this power is also closely related to the 'qi' and 'field' we set, but——"
His eyes fell on the faces of the four pale women again, and Zhou Qing secretly shook his head, "It's not the right time to talk about this. Let's take a closer look and see why these women died."
When the quilt was lifted to reveal the four women, Zhou Qing and Tang San were both angry.
I saw that the abdomens of these four women had been cut open with huge openings, and their intestines and stomach pouches were in a mess. There were four undeveloped fetuses inside.
"Not a son of man!"
Tang San gritted his teeth and cursed directly, saying that the person who committed this matter was a beast.
This shocking scene also made Zhou Qing's head shake, but he could only endure the pungent stench and let Tang San take out a pair of fire tongs from Zhongyue Ziming on the twelfth floor - as a blacksmith, The corresponding forging tools must be carried with you.
Holding the poker, Zhou Qing endured both physical and psychological discomfort and gently played with the gap of one of the women, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
Then, he checked the inside of the wounds of the other three women, but there was a look of confusion on his face: "The uterus that gave birth to the fetus is gone. The purpose of the person who did this is to obtain the uterus of the pregnant woman." .”
"What do you need the uterus of a pregnant woman for? Use it as medicine?"
Tang San thought of the Zihe car.
The so-called Ziheche, also known as afterbirth, afterbirth, or to put it more simply, is the placenta.
"Compendium of Materia Medica" explains its name: "The ancestor of Tianzihe and the earth, the ancestor of yin and yang, the beginning of the universe, the embryo will be a sign, and the number of nines and nines will be enough, and the fetus will ride on it to travel in the Buddhist kingdom of the West and the fairy mountains in the South China Sea. , floating in Penglai Wonderland, thousands of miles away from the Milky Way, so it is called a river carriage. ”
Regarding its medicinal efficacy, "Compendium of Materia Medica" also has something to say:
In the fetus, the umbilical cord is tied to the mother, the fetus is tied to the mother's spine, is shaded by the mother, and is formed by the combination of father's sperm and mother's blood. Although it is an acquired shape, it actually has an innate spirit, which is obviously not comparable to other metals, stones, grass and trees. Its nourishing effect is very important. If you take it for a long time, your ears and eyes will be brighter, your beard and hair will be black, and your life will be prolonged.
Therefore, many dignitaries in his previous life would specially purchase Zihe carts, and even some sects who were good at refining medicine would regularly go to the mountain to purchase.
But the placenta is the placenta, not the entire uterus. It will fall off when the fetus is born. Why bother digging out the entire uterus?
This is too cruel.
"Do you still remember the three books you saw on the desk?" Zhou Qing asked Zhou Qing after a moment of silence.
"Remember, it's "Pregnant Women's Pregnancy Care", "Fetal Pregnancy", "The State Before the Awakening of the Martial Spirit·Imagination"..."
As he said that, Tang San's words stopped abruptly, and after a long while he said, "Brother Qing, what do you mean?"
"Only from "Pregnant Women's Pregnancy Care" and "Fetal Pregnancy", we can't see any clues, but combined with "The State Before the Awakening of the Martial Spirit·Imagination" and the current situation of the four pregnant women's corpses losing their uteruses, we can It’s arbitrary.”
Zhou Qing clenched his fists, "What was the state of the martial soul before it awakened? Where is it located? I wasn't the first to think of the concept of 'soul palace', but I defined the word first.
In the library of the Notting Martial Spirit Branch Hall, the series of books "The Origin of the Martial Spirit" were written by the Fallen, and when I sorted it out, I also found that one book was missing..."
