Chapter 1060 Asking for Directions
Finally, he found the heads of four female paper figures as he wished, but they were not near the house, but on the paper sedan. There were four paper figures lined up on the seats. A head!
The heads were all facing him, and Zhou Qing even had the feeling that they had just turned their heads because he was here!
Zhou Qing also thought about whether these were done by Jiang Cheng. He took off the heads of the four paper figures and then deliberately made them like this to scare himself. But after calming down a little, he He quickly gave up the idea.
"Impossible, how...how could he dare to do this."
A Biao's arrangement was full of murderous intent. Even if he came, he would fall in if nothing else happened. He didn't believe Jiang Cheng could survive, and he didn't see Jiang Cheng along the way.
"He should be dead. He died in the room where the paper figures were stored. As for the four heads that were twisted off..." Zhou Qing stared at the heads with some guilt. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. Lightning flashed.
He suddenly remembered a strange thing that he had heard by chance before. It was told by an old man in the industry. It was said that since ancient times, there was a saying that before any major disaster, there would be a ghost in the local area. Some weird signs.
One of them is called carrying corpses to ask for directions.
The old man also gave an example that sounded very real. He said that many years ago, a man who was doing business in other places rushed back to his hometown at night. He couldn't find a place to stay at night, so he had to stay overnight. An abandoned ancient temple.
Late at night, the man was awakened by the sound of horse hooves, which was slow but heavy.
He curiously walked out of the ancient temple to check, and found that it was a group of carriages. After communicating with the driver, the man was surprised to find that the destination of this group of carriages was actually his hometown.
The coachman was not familiar with the road and asked the man if there was a shortcut. The man pointed it out to him.
The coachman was in a hurry, and after a short pause, he planned to continue his journey. The coachman invited the man to go on the road with him, but the man was tired after walking for several days, so he politely declined.
Before the coachman left, he asked the man how far away his hometown was. After thinking about it, the man replied that according to the speed of the coachman and the others, 2 days would be enough.
When the coachman heard this, his expression became solemn, and he immediately called to other coachmen to speed up, saying that they were in an emergency, and that two days was too long. They must arrive at the man's hometown before midnight tomorrow night, otherwise the important event would be delayed.
The man stood on the side of the road, watching these people leave. The night wind was chilly. The man wrapped his clothes tightly and was about to go back to sleep. Suddenly, as if there was a feeling in the dark, he suddenly looked towards He glanced at the last carriage.
The next second, he slowly opened his eyes and saw a gust of wind lifting the white cloth covering the carriage, exposing the densely packed corpses inside.
The corpse was twisted and disordered, and the scene was horrific.
What was even more horrifying was that he actually knew the two outermost corpses. One was his mother and the other was his sister.
By the time the man calmed down, the group of carriages had disappeared.
Without the slightest hint of sleepiness, the man didn’t even want to leave his luggage, and immediately rushed towards his hometown. He never caught up with the carriage along the way. When he arrived at his hometown on the third day, everything happened. It's too late.
A sudden flash flood almost completely destroyed his hometown. Because it happened late at night, most people were washed away by the flash flood while they were still sleeping. Among the victims were his mother and others. There is his sister.
His father had a chance to escape because he went to the next village for a banquet and drank too much.
The entire village was almost wiped out by the flash flood, and not a single villager was left alive. A surviving villager told him with lingering fear that when the corpses were transported, the corpses filled several carriages, and the scene was horrific.
After hearing these words, the man fainted and passed away not long after.
Recalling this story, Zhou Qing looked at the heads neatly arranged on the sedan chair, and felt even more strange, "Could it be... that this is also a process of carrying a corpse to ask for directions, indicating that more than one person will die tonight?" "
Zhou Qing's mind was spinning rapidly. He probably had a guess. The previous person Jiang Cheng must have died. Before his death, he accidentally triggered some kind of curse in this room, which caused the current situation. scene.
But...how does this explain the four paper figures that appeared outside the door?
Time was limited. Zhou Qing took a deep breath, gathered his energy, pushed open the ajar door, and stepped in.
Because the situation was unclear, he did not touch anything in the room rashly. Instead, like the previous people, he walked around the room lightly, as if he was worried about disturbing these paper figures.
After walking around this circle, Zhou Qing's forehead was covered with sweat, because he discovered that there was something wrong with the paper man above his head.
The soles of all paper girl feet are dirty!
“What’s going on?”
Zhou Qing’s head was spinning for a moment. The situation in front of him completely did not match the known intelligence. The most terrifying thing was that he was not sure about the last person. Whether it is death or life.
Judging from the number of paper figures, Jiang Cheng should not be dead, but if he was not dead, why didn't he see him? Also, why did the paper figures outside have their necks broken and their heads placed in the paper sedan? He didn't believe that Jiang Cheng dared to play with them Such flowers.
Zhou Qing forced himself to calm down. The more chaotic he is now, the faster he will die. He doesn't want to and doesn't dare to stay here for too long. He feels like there are eyes watching him nearby.
Unable to wait any longer, Zhou Qing turned around to find the lantern. He carefully looked at the handle of the lantern and found the barb left by A Biao, but there was no blood on the barb.
"Huh?" Zhou Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, "I said, where are the candles?!"
The candle in the lantern actually disappeared!
Connecting all this, Zhou Qing came to the conclusion after careful calculation: All this is because of Jiang Cheng. This idiot must have stepped into a sinkhole. Not only did he lose all the scum he made, but the most annoying thing is, It also changed the mission.
After thinking about all this, Zhou Qing calmed down. He began to observe his surroundings carefully, "There must be a way out, there must be one, but...it will be hidden more secretly, Zhou Qing, come on, You can do it..."
Huangtian paid off, and finally, Zhou Qing's peripheral vision spotted something very special.
On the ground.
It’s... Huozhezi!
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up instantly. Damn it, he was so damned, how...how could he forget such an important thing!
The reason why lanterns can illuminate evil spirits is because the candles inside are rooted fires, and so are the fires. Although they are not as powerful as candles for lighting, they are still barely enough!
Zhou Qing grabbed the fire certificate excitedly, and the chill in his body was dissipated a lot.
No longer hesitating, he quickly walked towards a hanging paper figurine with the help of the weak flame of the fire folding piece, and raised the holding folding piece high. (End of this chapter)
