Chapter 1576 Blackwater Village
After hearing Jiang Cheng’s explanation, Fatty was a little frightened, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit that Jiang Cheng’s guess was reliable, even if there is no direct evidence to prove it.
At noon, the two fat men from Jiangcheng went to the dining hall to eat as usual. The food was still porridge that could reflect people's shadows. Each person was limited to one bowl. The fat man stared at the room full of strong monks. The doubts in their hearts were even worse, but this time they did not see Monk Huicong, and Monk Huide and the others were not there either.
Back in the room, he touched his stomach. The fat man actually felt that he was not so hungry anymore. "It's strange. That bowl of porridge makes me really hungry. How do you feel?" He looked at Jiang Cheng.
The answer he got was the same as his own. Jiang Cheng was also a little surprised. This bowl of porridge actually made him feel full.
There were too many evil things in this temple. Jiang Cheng sat on the bed and took out the paper figurine he got from Monk Huicong from his pocket.
"Doctor!" The fat man had sharp eyes. From his angle, he could just see the back of the paper man, "There seems to be words behind it!"
Turn the paper man over, Jiang Cheng's eyes paused. Suddenly, as expected, there were two lines of words crookedly written on the back of the paper.
The characters are so small that you can’t even notice them if you don’t look carefully.
“Killing people and setting fires with gold belts, repairing bridges and repairing roads but no corpses.” Jiang Cheng pinched the paper man and felt a little dazed for a moment.
"What does this mean?" The fat man stared at the paper man with wide eyes, "Good people are not rewarded?"
Jiang Cheng nodded, "Absolutely, abiding by the law and worrying about dreams in the morning, Qiang Liang singing and singing every night, sighing about the world. Unjust.”
There is no doubt that this is Huicong’s reminder to them.
After thinking for a moment, the fat man said: "Is it possible that this is the case? You see, monk Huicong abides by the precepts, but ends up like this, while evil monks like Huide and Huiming are popular and drink spicy food. Doesn’t this corroborate With these two sentences, good people are not rewarded?"
"Well, you are right, this should be a warning." After thoroughly inspecting the paper man, Jiang Cheng found nothing else, so he put the paper back. Put it in your pocket and put it away carefully.
According to what they thought, the person who was going to die tonight was most likely the maid in that group of people.
And this person Jiang Cheng was not chosen randomly. After all, according to observations, those second-generation Crimson members are generally relatively young.
Among the "benefactors", the four who most meet the criteria are the heroic woman, the maid, the young man, and the child.
The young man is dead and can be eliminated through Huide's performance, so there are only three people left.
The child among the three is too young to meet Jiang Cheng's expectations, and the heroic woman has extraordinary temperament and obvious special status. In Jiang Cheng's consideration, such a role is not easy to play, so these two are After excluding people, the most likely person is the inconspicuous maid.
There is another very important point about the heroic woman. This person may be useful in the future, but Jiang Cheng doesn't want to disturb her yet.
The group was obviously wary of the two of them. If there was a chance, Jiang Cheng would like to contact them in his dream.
At least for the time being, the outsiders have the same position when it comes to the monks of the Holding Precepts Temple.
Because he was likely to encounter those unbelievable things at night, Fatty Jiang Cheng took turns to take a nap in the afternoon. But not long after Jiang Cheng fell asleep, his cell phone hidden close to his body suddenly vibrated. , Jiang Cheng woke up and stared at the screen of his phone, his expression suddenly a little nervous.
"It's Yao, Shun, and Yu!" The fat man also saw the note on the number, and his expression became excited.
When the call was connected, Jiang Cheng didn't speak, nor did the person on the other side, but he could vaguely hear breathing coming from the other side.
About 10 seconds later, a familiar voice slowly sounded from the opposite side, "Is it Fu Jiang?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the fingers that were clenching the phone relaxed, " It's us, where are Yao, Shun, and Yu? How about it? "
Yes, this is the password they agreed on early in the morning. In addition to identifying the identity, the password also serves as an alarm. If the situation is okay, then use Fujiang. If the situation is critical, then start Then use Jiang Fu.
After hearing Jiang Cheng's voice, Yao and Shunyu were obviously relieved, "Li Bai and I are together in a village called Heishui Village. We are trapped here."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown, "Isn't Tang Qisheng Zhu Jie with you?"
"No, we woke up in this Blackwater Village, and we never saw the two of them at all. I I thought they were with you." Yao Shunyu replied.
"We have never heard of Heishui Village. Wang Fugui and I are in a temple called Zhijie Temple." Jiang Cheng asked: "Do you know the approximate location of Heishui Village where you are?"
< br>The top priority now is to reunite as soon as possible.
"I don't know, this village is isolated by a black river. We tried to cross the river by force last night, but... we got one person taken away." I don't know what kind of terrifying scene came to mind, Yao, Shun, and Yu. The voice was a little nervous.
"A person was captured?"
"Yes, in addition to me and Li Bai, there are some people here. The status we were granted this time was because we encountered a flash flood, and then accidentally bumped into it, and ended up living in this remote place. Travelers from Heishui Village." Yao Shunyu explained.
Jiang Cheng asked quickly: "Besides you two, how many other people are living with you in Heishui Village?"
Yao, Shun, and Yu replied without hesitation, "There are 8 more people, what's the matter? ?”
江Cheng calmed down and roughly figured out the rules of this mission. They were all broken up, and then divided into groups of two and scattered in different places. Only when they solved the mission where they were, could they Gather together for one last mission.
It seems that Tang Qisheng and Zhu Jie should be alive for the time being.
“Ding ding, ding, ding, ding—”
The harsh ringtone that suddenly rang from the other end of the phone attracted Jiang Cheng’s attention, “What are you doing over there?”
"Oh, it's okay. It's an old bronze bell in our room. Li Bai was worried that there was something wrong with the clock, so he took it apart and took a look." Yao, Shunyu said.
Yao and Shunyu's tone was casual, but Jiang Cheng here slowly opened his eyes, "Bronze bell? How can you have a bronze bell there?"
Yao, Shun, and Yu also noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the bronze bell?"
"Can you probably judge the era you are in?" Jiang Cheng spoke very quickly.
"Probably. Probably the late Republic of China." Yao, Shun and Yu's voice was full of uncertainty, "In short, it is at least several decades older than our era."
"Why do you ask this?" Yao, Shun and Yu asked back.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and sat upright involuntarily, "Let me tell you one thing, don't be nervous. It seems that our two teams are scattered in different worlds. We are here in ancient times." (End of chapter)
