Chapter 153 Human Head Wood Carving
"Human Head Wood Carving?"
Zhou Zhao's face darkened. She looked around and saw a pen and inkstone on the table, and took it out of her sleeve bag. A handkerchief was used to quickly draw a person's avatar on it.
The Zhou family can be regarded as a noble family, and every member of the clan has learned the Six Arts of the Gentleman.
The ones next to Zhou Zhao's paintings are not only very similar, but it is not an exaggeration to say that they are vivid and vivid.
She had just drawn the upper half of her face, and the shopkeeper exclaimed in surprise.
"It's so, that's it. I was shocked at that time. There was a raised horn on the forehead of the carving, and his big teeth were bared, looking like he was sinister. Smile, I felt very unlucky at that time.
After returning home, I asked my wife to beat me with mugwort to get rid of bad luck. Sun Yang doesn't look like a person who wears such evil things on weekdays. .”
Zhou Zhao dropped the pen, folded the veil again, and put it into his sleeve bag.
She looked at the shopkeeper solemnly, "If you don't want to die, I suggest you don't tell others what we ask you in the future, especially this human-headed wood carving, don't even have a word. ”
After saying that, worried that the shopkeeper's erratic disobedience would not take this advice in his heart, Zhou Zhao revealed again: "If the deceased was Sun Yang..."
Zhou Zhao said, his eyes full of eyes at the shopkeeper The feeling of oppression, "Then the murderer has killed at least seven people in a row. I hope you don't become the eighth person."
The manager's expression changed drastically. He bowed to Zhou Zhao cautiously, "Xiao Zhou Sir, the villain will never say it. If someone comes to ask, I will record the man and then go to Tingwei Temple to report to the master."
Zhou Zhao was instantly satisfied.
If Quan Daqi had the same eyesight as the shopkeeper of Man Moji, the murderer would probably be tied up and carried with a wooden stick, like a pig being carried. Carry into Tingwei Temple.
"It's so good, you must remember what I said. Where does Sun Yang live?"
The shopkeeper lowered his voice, "There are two stone-carved cats in front of Fengyifang Pigeon Lane. The cat is holding orchids in his mouth. Not far from our place, there is an old servant in his family named Uncle Chang.
The orchids planted in front of our small building were bought from Sun Yang. The person who came was sent by Uncle Chang at that time. "
The shopkeeper said, his eyes rolling, "Three sirs, sit here and try our Manmoji. I went downstairs to greet the guests, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get there for a while."
He said, without putting away the silk on the table, he opened the door and walked out. He did not put the door in the door. Close it, but let Zhou Zhao watch him downstairs.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhao walked to the door, his ears moved, and closed the door again. "This shopkeeper is a character," Zhou Zhao couldn't help but praise.
Min Zangzhi raised her chin and looked gloomy, "Can you ask me to make a frying spice and take care of such an elegant building, of course, a smart person. If you meet their boss, you will know more about what it means to be Yushu Lanzhi."
Zhou Zhao nodded perfunctorily, "Well, he Yushu Lanzhi, you are so handsome."
Min Zangzhi's hand shaking his fan stopped, and he looked at him in surprise Zhou Zhao, "How do you know that they all praise me like this? You must say this in front of Chu You."
Zhou Zhao blinked at Min Zangzhi: "I don't know if the words in the classics are enough for you so-called elegant people to divide each one." Min Zangzhi almost bit her teeth, and Zhou Zhao was secretly scolding them on weekdays. They are all praising each other!
Although it is indeed the case.
"Telling serious things, Zhou Zhao's face darkened, "I know this kind of human-headed wood carving. It was probably a few days before the Shanming Changyang case. I and Changying couldn't rest at that time, and I walked around Chang'an City. . Because my father was the Tingwei at that time, we would chase after us whenever we encountered suspicious things."
Su Changying shook his head with some regret, and he couldn't remember it.
He suddenly envied himself a little, and there were so many shining memories with Zhou Zhao. "Chen Hou's daughter Zhang Ying was distracted because she picked up a post in her garden. The post was a rather elegant post with a faint fragrance of flowers on it.
The general content on that post was that she could go to a place called Yuyuan in Chang'an City alone in three days, so that she could help her get out of trouble and fulfill her wish. At that time, Zhang Ying was choosing Son-in-law.
She has a sweetheart, but her father wants her to marry the son of Liuhou. She is worried that there is no way to solve it and wants to marry, so she really wants to go to Yuyuan. But again I dare not believe such things of unknown origin, and I dare not go to the appointment alone."
Zhou Zhao said, looking at Su Changying, "I took the post at that time and went to the appointment. Changying Good light skills, hide in the dark to respond. ”
Zhou Zhao said, and his thoughts suddenly returned to the past.
"Na Yuyuan is actually an abandoned house. There were many such places in Chang'an City at that time. There were ten people who came in with the post that day. The room was empty, only one. A large table.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar!
After all ten of us sat down, suddenly The feet were empty and everyone fell into the stone chamber below.
The walls of the stone chamber were hung with nine human heads worn with red ropes, all of which had a raised corner on their heads. , baring big teeth."
Until now, Zhou Zhao remembers everyone's terrified expression after hearing the rules clearly.
"A pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the wall of the stone room! Someone was standing next door observing everyone in the room. It was a man, not very tall, probably only as good as mine now In the ears.
Only nine out of ten people can go out alive, and everyone who goes out alive can satisfy his wish."
Zhou Zhao said, his expression was particularly ugly, "That's the first time Ten are hemp ropes, and what they are used for is self-evident. In the corner of the stone chamber, there is a copper pot dripping, and the water inside will flow down drop by drop. When the water inside is dripping, the time will come. If no one died by then, then everyone would die.
The stone chamber was filled with the smell of tung oil, and there was oil on the ground. If the peeping person had gone from a small hole throw a fire stick into it, and everyone will be burned to death in it."
Zhou Zhao did not say the details of the next time, but if this happened four years ago, she would have been a little girl at that time and would have been regarded as the weakest existence and become that choice.
"Later, as the atmosphere became more and more wrong, Tong Changying worked inside and outside to force the stone chamber, everyone survived, but the man disappeared without a trace. This case was left with a file. In Tingwei Temple.
But because no one was injured or killed, the murderer disappeared like a fish entering the water. And..."
Zhou Zhao paused and said, "It will take only a few days to go The Shanming Changyang case occurred, and later my father left Tingwei Temple, and there was no further information about this matter. The nine human-headed wood carvings should still be in the warehouse of Tingwei Temple. "
" Now, the human head wood carving appears again..."
