Chapter 1102 Corpse Wax Bell
Lei Mingyu was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment he showed a recalling expression, "That piece of cloth..."
"I asked you something, you should just say it. "Du Moyu couldn't help but urge, this is a fatal matter. If he had known that Lei Mingyu was pulling his hips like this, he would have been the one to monitor this old guy Yu Chengmu.
"I...I have no impression." Lei Mingyu told the truth, "At that time, all my attention was on the Soul-Calming Bell. When I saw that the Soul-Calming Bell fell, I also bent down to pick it up, but Wang Fugui beat him to it."
Chen Hao no longer made things difficult for him, and immediately took out his mobile phone and found Jiang Cheng's number and dialed it.
The call was quickly connected. Jiang Cheng only listened to a few words before he understood everything. He immediately asked the fat man about the whereabouts of the piece of cloth. After hearing this, the fat man's expression was similar to that of Lei Mingyu, with a hint of nervousness in his doubts. He swallowed and recalled. Said: "I saw the soul-crushing bell fell to the ground , the first reaction was to pick it up, and as soon as he stood up, Yu Chengmu took the bell, and... said thank you to me."
"After you stood up, Yu Chengmu took it. The piece of cloth in his hand is gone, right?" Jiang Cheng was confirming.
"It seems...it seems like this." Fatty said in a less than certain tone: "But I'm not sure."
In fact, after hearing this, Jiang Cheng basically understood. There was something wrong with that piece of cloth. Yu Chengmu accidentally dropped the soul-suppressing bell on the ground, just to distract Fatty Lei Mingyu. The ultimate goal was this piece of cloth.
But neither Fatty nor Lei Mingyu could explain the description of this piece of cloth. After all, they didn't pay attention.
"Look now, the problem lies with this piece of cloth." Jiang Cheng spoke into the phone, "I think there is probably some information recorded on this piece of cloth."
"With Empress Dahe and Paper Man Lu Jianli It's either a letter or a token that can prove your identity." After thinking about it, Chen Hao said, after all, even if the eldest daughter of the Wu family was not wary, she would not trust people like Yin Xing, especially someone so important. Unless there is Lu Jianli's token as proof.
"Although we lost the opportunity, at least this soul-suppressing bell is real and will definitely be used tonight." Jiang Cheng said.
Chen Hao's voice sounded later, as calm as ever, "I understand that Yu Chengmu wants to use this soul-suppressing bell to confuse us, making us mistakenly think that this is the so-called treasure, so that we can relax our vigilance. "After a pause, he took a breath and continued: " But there is nothing wrong with this soul-suppressing bell. It is also one of the props that will be used tonight, but it doesn’t look like it is used to deal with Empress Dahe.” ?" Fatty heard it very clearly and couldn't help but ask.
After a moment, the fat man suddenly came to his senses and blurted out: "It can't be... it can't be to deal with the watchman, right?" After all, tonight's task is to send the watchman's body to cross the river.
Jiang Cheng and Chen Hao were silent. They were not sure about Fatty's guess, but it at least meant that besides Empress Dahe, there were other things that could kill them tonight.
“Let’s take it one step at a time.” Chen Hao stared at the soul-calming bell on the table, lost in thought.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng said in a serious tone: "On the way to the corpse tonight, if circumstances permit, I will help you."
Chen Hao smiled hoarsely, "Thank you very much."
Not long after the phone hung up, Jiang Cheng received a message from Chen Hao. In the message, Chen Hao mentioned that he was holding the soul-suppressing bell tonight and might become a priority target. If something happened to him, he hoped that Jiang Cheng could take care of his remaining victims. The two teammates below.
Jiang Cheng agreed.
……
Another wing.
A white paper lantern was burning faintly, emitting an uncomfortable light. The lantern was brought by Abiao Jia Jinliang. Yes, the two of them secretly came to Yu Chengmu's wing.
On the old wooden cabinet, there is still a coat belonging to Zhang Junyu hanging.
Jia Jinliang glanced at it and did not mention this embarrassing topic. After all, Zhang Junyu is dead, and for the time being, they still need Yu Chengmu's help, "Yu Zhangyan." Jia Jinliang There was no flaw in his expression and tone, "In your opinion, what kind of risks will you encounter on the way to the corpse tonight?"
Yu Cheng Mu squinted his eyes and twirled his beard in an expert manner, "It depends on what is in the coffin."
Jia Jinliang reacted quickly and understood immediately, "You mean... what is in the coffin." It’s not the body of the watchman, but the missing skeleton of Lady Dahe?”
“That should be the case.” Yu Chengmu nodded.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Jinliang clarified his thoughts and spoke again, "Then based on Zhang's insight, is the watchman really dead or is he pretending to die?"
I don't know if he is pretending or if he is really there? Thinking about it, this question made Yu Chengmu frown slightly. After a while, he said: "The death energy on the watchman's body cannot be faked. He has indeed reached the point where his fuel is exhausted, but as for whether the death was last night, I can't be sure."
Is Geng also a sinister person?" A Biao suddenly interrupted.
Yu Chengmu turned to look at him, and said with a rather playful smile: "Being a watchman is a sinister profession, but it is not as well-known as those of corpse chasers and corpse collectors. "
"Why should the soul-suppressing bell be given to them?" A Biao asked.
"Haha." Yu Zhangyan leaned back on the chair and showed a strange smile, "Do you think the soul-calming bell is so easy to get? In my opinion, it's fine if it doesn't ring. "I don't know what's going to happen yet."
Jia Jinliang became interested after hearing this.
Yu Chengmu breathed out and said slowly: "You remember that the soul-suppressing bell was sealed inside, right?"
"It was something similar to wax." Jia Jinliang recalled carefully, "Because I fell, I was still inside. The sealing wax on the surface fell out and cracked."
Hearing this, Yu Chengmu rolled his eyelids lightly and shook his head quite proudly: "Haha, you lied to them about the soul-soothing bell. The sealing wax... was originally cracked. ”
Jia Jinliang Abiao's expression changed and he immediately reacted, "So...there is something wrong with the soul-soothing bell!"
"There is no problem, how can it be sealed with wax? Besides..." Yu Chengmu sneered, He sniffed and said, "It's also mixed with corpse wax."
Although the person who made this bell was very skillful, it still couldn't be hidden from his nose.
As for the consequences of ringing this corpse wax bell, Yu Chengmu vaguely remembered reading a damaged ancient book. There were only two sentences in it: The soul of a living person is lost, and the body of a dead person is upper body.
After digesting the clues he wanted, Jia Jinliang winked at A Biao, who understood and said, "In the palm of your hand." A Biao stood up and said with a smile: "In the Dahe Empress Temple Inside, the cloth wrapping this soul-soothing bell...you didn’t throw it away, right?”
As soon as these words came out, the expression of Yu Chengmu, who looked like a master just now, changed instantly. (End of this chapter)
