Chapter 1493 Burial Mountain
The surroundings of this island were calm and the boats that everyone was riding in could easily reach the shore. However, how to deal with Zhang Qizheng's body became a problem at this time.
The corpse was very quiet along the way, so quiet that it even made everyone suspicious. The fat man who had landed on the beach even had a somewhat absurd idea. He hoped that the corpse would move, a little bit, so that it would be meaningful. It also saves everyone from having to tighten their hearts all the time.
"The body cannot be kept. I suggest pushing the boat and the body back into the lake." Yao, Shunyu, and Shunyu were the first to speak, with a hint of urgency in their tone.
Hearing that the boat was no longer needed, the fat man began to hesitate, "Isn't this appropriate? How can we go back without the boat?"
"This is a dream, not reality. Believe me, that corpse poses a much greater threat to us than no ship." Yao, Shun, and Yu wanted to convince everyone to agree with him.
"What brother Yao said makes sense, but what brother Fugui said also makes sense. I think so, let's choose one of them. The body must be thrown away, but the boat must also be kept. Don't argue, you two. Haha, there is no need for us to break up the peace over this trivial matter." Shao Tong stood up to be the peacemaker.
Yao and Shunyu were already very wary of him. Hearing this, he sneered and said, "It's not a big deal for us brothers to discuss matters with each other. Why do you, an outsider, need to talk so much? If you have time, please explain what happened to me yesterday." "Going down the hillside."
Shao Tong looked at Yao and Shun with an exaggerated expression. Yu, "I don't understand what Brother Yao said. It was you who fell down the hillside and disappeared inexplicably, not me. Do you... want me to excuse you?"
Seeing the dispute intensifying, Jiang Cheng spoke up. , "Just say a few words. The boat can be kept, but what are you going to do with the body?"
Tang Qisheng looked around, and the mist that dispersed on the lake gathered around him again. The mist floated on the lake. If it weren't for the gloomy background color, it would be called a fairyland on earth.
Yao and Shun Yu looked at Shao Tong, "Since you brought it up, you can get on the boat and carry the body away."
Shao Tong was not false at all and nodded naturally. , "Okay, I don't have any ghosts in my heart, I'm afraid What?”
After finishing speaking, Shao Tong took a deep breath, then jumped on the boat alone, ducked into the cabin, and after a while, he actually came out with the body, but not on his back, but in his arms. Holding it with hands in front of you.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the neck of Zhang Qizheng’s body happened to be leaning towards the shore. His slightly cloudy eyes were slightly open, as if he was greeting his friends.
Seeing the corpse approaching him, Zhu Jie felt that there were ants crawling all over his body, and said in panic: "Are you crazy? Why did you bring the corpse to the shore? Just throw it into the lake!"
Tang Qisheng looks like He understood, and signaled Zhu Jie to shut up, "Don't talk nonsense. Throwing that body into the lake might cause something evil. , don’t forget, we might have to take this boat back.”
After Tang Qisheng’s reminder, Zhu Jie suddenly remembered something. Not long ago, Jiang Cheng retold the story of the antique shop owner. At the end of the story, the fishermen who were forced onto the boat encountered an extremely terrifying scene, and there was actually a knocking sound coming from the water.
If Zhang Qizheng was found on their way back by boat, they would also die.
Shao Tong dragged the body a little further away, and then began to dig a hole. Seeing that Mr. Zhang was kind to him, the fat man also went to help. Fortunately, it was all mud and sand, and after a while The two of them dug a hole, just big enough to put the body in. Perhaps they felt that they had gone the wrong way and boarded the night watchman's pirate ship. Shao Tong rarely bowed three times to the burial place of Zhang Qizheng. He said something apologetic again.
The fat man couldn't help but have a slight change in his opinion of Shao Tong. It seemed that this man was very sincere. Maybe he had misunderstood him. He was sincerely surrendering this time.
Under the influence of Shao Tong, Fatty felt all over his body, but couldn't find anything decent to leave behind. In the end, he could only tear off a piece of cloth, tie it to a piece of wood, and insert it here. It is Mr. Zhang’s tombstone.
But he was stopped by Shao Tong who stood up, "Don't leave any marks. There might be some ghosts on this island. Don't let them destroy Mr. Zhang's body."
The fat man nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He did not expect that Shao Tong was quite meticulous. The body was buried here. As long as the tide came in, the traces left by the excavation would soon be wiped away by the waves. No one would know this. Bodies were buried underneath.
After fixing the boat, Jiang Cheng silently observed the surroundings. The island was very humid, and some unnamed vegetation could be seen everywhere. These vegetations were relatively low, but without exception they were wet, and they were even moving towards The water is dripping, and the entire island feels like it just emerged from the bottom of the water not long ago.
The island was not very big, and the group arrived at the center of the island not long after. It was not until they got closer that they realized how grand this ancestral-style building was.
Although it looks extremely old, the towering stone walls, the vermilion door, and the stone sculptures of exotic animals under the raised eaves all demonstrate the former prominence of this place.
Tang Qisheng obviously understood. He nodded repeatedly, "That's right, the stone carvings here are all ferocious and good-fighting rare animals. This is the General Shrine! The birth shrine of General Guo!"< br>
Shao Tong looked up at the magnificent building and couldn't help but sigh: "A general's temple is more magnificent than the palace. I really don't know how these villagers What do you think? Even if General Guo does not die in the war, when the world is at peace, the emperor may not be able to tolerate him, and the civil servants in the history books will stab him in the back with black and white words. "
A few people worked together. Pushing open the heavy door and stepping into the Sheng Temple, a heavy sense of history fills the air, making the depressed person breathless.
Turning around a screen wall, I came to the main hall, but the scene in front of me was somewhat unexpected. I saw that the building here had collapsed, and a rockery stood among the ruins. On the rockery, heavy rice grew densely.
Before everyone could react, a gust of cold wind blew by, and each rice plant was bent down. Then countless tombstones hidden under the rice were exposed. The tombstones were made of blue slates. , all of them were mottled traces of time, and the fat man couldn't help but shudder. He seemed to have misjudged his eyes just now, and he actually saw these tombstones as wet blue-white faces.
"Is this...is this a living temple or a burial place?" A huge sense of crisis came over his heart. The scene here was far beyond Zhu Jie's imagination.
"Those who died in burials do not deserve so many tombstones." Tang Qisheng's breathing became rapid.
Jiang Cheng looked up little by little and saw a pavilion on the top of the mountain. A black figure stood in it, with a long knife on his waist that looked murderous. (End of chapter)
