Nightmare Attack

Chapter 1036 Deadhead Mountain (4000 words)
The inside of the courtyard was much bigger than expected. The three of Yu Chengmu did not move immediately after they entered. Zhou Qing supported Yu Chengmu, and another man named Zhang Junyu walked over, bent slightly, and Yu Chengmu whispered in his ear. some words.

After hearing this, Zhang Junyu nodded, then looked left and right, and walked in the other direction, leaning against the wall.

Jiang Cheng noticed that Zhang Junyu's gait was very strange, with one light foot and one shallow foot, so he took a few more glances, but unexpectedly raised his head, and happened to see Yu Chengmu looking at him.

Later, Zhang Junyu found a wooden corridor submerged in the weeds. They walked along the corridor, with the creaking sound of rotten wood under their feet from time to time, and the nearby weeds were overgrown, and the sight was a dilapidated scene.

But the rockery not far away and the scenery everywhere tell them the grandeur of the past.

Yu Chengmu stopped and looked in the direction of the rockery.

"Are those villagers serious about setting up the mourning hall here?" Pang Xiaofeng looked around with fear in his eyes, and complained with his arms folded.

Chen Hao frowned, "Stop talking about useless things."

The man who led the way didn't tell them where the room they lived in was. When they came in, they saw a light on the left side, so they made a detour to find it. When they got closer, they found a few white lanterns, and a large room similar to a wing appeared in front of them.

The lanterns were hung under the eaves, and when the night wind blew, the flames inside swayed with the lanterns, fluttering and flickering, giving people an unreal feeling.

"Look." Zhang Junyu, who was wearing a black vest, said suddenly.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Not far from this wing, there were three buildings with lanterns on. Judging from the size, they should be similar to this wing.

There are a total of four wing rooms near here, separated by a certain distance from each other.

"It seems that these are the rooms we are going to live in tonight." Yu Chengmu hunched his back slightly, his voice was distorted in the wind, "We have four groups of people here, how about a room for each group?"

"We're fine." Chen Hao took the lead in agreeing. With a strong physique, he seemed to be Pang Xiaofeng, the head of Du Moyu's group. There were 4 of them, and the number of them was the largest among several groups.

Jiang Cheng also didn't want to share a room with other people, otherwise he would have to be wary of people besides guarding against ghosts, so he said excitedly, "Don't worry about me, the doctors all praise me for being bold, and I don't need nurses to coax me at night, I can do it myself." If you dare to sleep, you don’t need to turn on the lights!”

Fatty really wanted to help Jiangcheng distract everyone's attention, but he really couldn't.

Zhang Junyu glanced at him, and said calmly: "Then you are quite powerful."

As soon as the words fell, a discordant voice rang out, "It's too dangerous to separate...is it too dangerous?" Jia Jinliang looked at the three rooms not far away, and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead: "How about we still Let’s live together, the bed can be given to you, and A Biao and I can sleep on the floor, we can squeeze together and make do with it, if you really want... if something happens at night, there will be someone to take care of you, right?"

It could be seen that Jia Jinliang was terrified, his forehead was covered with sweat, and it was a bit reflective under the lantern.

"Boss Jia, please do what you want." After Yu Chengmu said a few words, he led his two apprentices into the wing in front of him.

Jia Jinliang hurriedly followed, but as soon as he got to the door, Zhang Junyu stopped him. Zhang Junyu stared at Jia Jinliang with a livid face, and Jia Jinliang didn't dare to move.

With a "bang", Zhang Qingyu closed the door.

Jia Jinliang stood in front of the door, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to Chen Hao with a smile on his face, but Chen Hao just nodded politely, and took his group to another wing that was relatively close.

Jiang Cheng shrugged and left with Fatty.

But within a few steps, he was chased up by Jia Jinliang, "Brother Jiang, Brother Wang." Jia Jinliang smiled along with him, revealing a gold tooth at the corner of his mouth, "You two look very handsome, let's go to bed at night Let’s be together, let’s rely on each other.”

"It's inconvenient, I can't sleep with outsiders around." Jiang Cheng dismissed Jia Jinliang with a few words, and then took the fat man into a wing room.

Jia Jinliang stood outside the door for a while, and said good things for a while, and found that Jiang Cheng had no intention of opening the door, so he had to lead A Biao, who had never spoken, to the last wing.

The fat man hid behind the door, watched Jia Jinliang and the others walk away through the gap, and then he was relieved.

The wing room in front of them was not too big, it was divided into two rooms, the inside and the outside. In the middle of the outside room they were in, there was a table, a few wooden chairs, a landscape painting on the wall, and the decoration was antique.

Indeed, as the man who led the way said, these rooms have been tidied up, and they look very clean. Jiang Cheng has already wandered around the room at this time, and walked out of the bedroom inside.

The fat man sat at the table, felt the teapot was hot, couldn't help but poured himself a glass of water, then poured another glass for the doctor, didn't drink, and covered the teacup with his hands to keep warm.

"I said doctor, what's wrong with you? Listen to your self-introduction. Is that what a normal person can say?" Fat people who show their enemies as weak can understand, but fat people who show their enemies as crazy can't understand up.

Jiang Cheng also sat down, took the teacup handed by the fat man, looked at it, and took a sip, "This time is different from before." Jiang Cheng whispered, "There is something wrong with that old guy named Yu Chengmu. "

The fat man thought of Yu Chengmu's old face like withered bark, and felt uncomfortable, "I also think he is weird, but I can't tell. His two apprentices are also pretty weird."

"Do you have an impression of that young man named Zhou Qing? He knocked on the door in a weird way." Fatty recalled.

Jiang Cheng seemed to suddenly become interested when he heard it, "I didn't see his knock on the door, it was blocked, you can learn it for me."

"Oh, good doctor." Fatty stood up and recalled while gesticulating to Jiang Cheng, "He first knocked on the top, then...then here again, and finally on the right, a total of three times, but the door was clearly unlocked, There's no one inside, who is he knocking for?"

Holding the cup, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, before speaking after a while: "It's for ghosts."

Fatty's expression turned pale immediately after hearing this, "Doctor, don't scare me in the middle of the night, we have been to this place many times, and we will hit ghosts whenever we come up."

Jiang Cheng looked at the door, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Qing knocked on the door very carefully. The first knock is to respect the gods, and he is worried that he will bump into the gods passing by inside. The second knock is to respect the ghosts, which is the house. The owner of the house, the third knock on the right side is to respect the peers, after all, the door has been opened, and the thief will not leave, they hope to have the treasures that the peers have forgotten, so that they can catch them."

The fat man was stunned when he heard this, "Doctor, are they thieves? No, you just said that knocking the second time is to respect ghosts. What if the owner of the house is a ghost?"

After a while, the fat man seemed to have figured it out, and his eyes slowly opened wide: "They...are they grave robbers?"

"It's very likely." Jiang Cheng said bluntly: "They have a very strange smell on them, and you observe their footsteps, one deep and one shallow, and they always walk close to the wall to lead the way. Zhang Qingyu still had to touch the wall with one hand, because the light in the tomb was dim, and he was worried that he might not be able to see the mechanism clearly, so he had to feel it with his hands."

"But why do they care so much about such a house? Is it an occupational disease?" The fat man always trusted Jiang Cheng's words unconditionally, even if he couldn't figure it out.

Later, Jiang Cheng turned to look at him. Under the candlelight, his face couldn't be seen clearly, and the fat man was a little nervous, "Because this is a tomb." Jiang Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Tomb..." In Fatty's mind, the cemetery is buried underground. The house is a bit dilapidated now, but judging by the furnishings, it must have been a wealthy family before, so why did it become a cemetery?

"Did you see the rockery when you came in?" Jiang Cheng asked.

The fat man nodded his chin, "Look... I see it."

"Then do you see the water?"

Hearing that the fat man fell into memories, they did see a large rockery in the front yard on the way here, surrounded by shadows, and there seemed to be a lot of decorations, but they did not see any lakes or ponds. thing.

"Water represents anger. Where there are mountains but no water, there is no vitality. The so-called boundary water stops, because anger will stay when it encounters water." After a pause, Jiang Cheng continued: "There used to be water near that rockery. But after the owner of this house died, it was filled up, and the rockery is also said to be a dead mountain."

The fat man shrank his neck unconsciously when he heard the word "decapitated".

"Broken Head Mountain means that after the death of the owner of the house, the remaining people smashed the highest peak of the rockery and knocked it down. This also means that the owner of the house did not die normally and had great resentment."

"This place has been transformed into a private house." Jiang Cheng felt helpless.

"Damn it, I knew these villagers had no good intentions!" The fat man recalled the time in Xiaoshijian Village, the flesh on his face was tense, and he looked very fierce.

After calming down later, the fat man couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Doctor, since Yu Chengmu and the others are tomb robbers, they must know more than us. Those people are not good people, so we have to be careful." It's within the business scope of Chengmu and the others, no wonder that old guy is so arrogant.

"By the way, doctor." Fatty asked curiously: "How do you know the way in this industry? You also have friends who visit other people's ancestral graves?"

"I have a friend who likes to be arty, and his girlfriend is very rich, so she makes some investments every now and then..." Halfway through the speech, Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

The fat man immediately realized who the friend the doctor said was.

Pi Nguyen.

The doctor can count the people who can be called friends on his fingers, and Pi Ruan is a very special one among them.

After sensing the doctor's mood swings, the fat man immediately changed the subject: "Doctor, we must not let them know that we guessed that they are tomb robbers, otherwise they will definitely mess with us."

According to the doctor's analysis, the three of Yu Chengmu still have two brushes. These people may have a big case on their backs, and there is no doubt that this group of desperadoes still have lives in their hands.

In this lawless world, the group of them would have no worries.

Jiang Cheng was very cooperative with Fatty this time. After a few seconds of pause, he continued to analyze to him: "You are right, we have to guard against them. Judging from their methods, they are a group of very professional tomb robbers."

"That Yu Chengmu is the eye of the gang, that is, the person who is responsible for finding ancient tombs and identifying the treasures inside. His two apprentices, the older one is called Jia stick, that is, Zhang Qingyu, who is in charge of finding ancient tombs and identifying the treasures inside. A pathfinder who knows how to dig a hole, and remove traps like quicksand inside the ancient tomb."

"The younger ones are called Bangqian. They are the most clever and skilled. They are the main force in the work, and they are the underdogs."

Listening to Jiang Cheng's step-by-step analysis, Fatty felt that people were really different. In front of the doctor, his brain circuit was not even as good as that of a single-celled animal.

Huai Yi once drank too much and hugged the two of them and joked that the three of them tied together, a total of 200 hearts, he counted 1, and the doctor 199.

The fat man was still pointing at the doctor and laughing, but he didn't realize it until noon the next day.

But I have to say that the fat man has gone through the performances of Yu Chengmu, Zhang Junyu, and Zhou Qing in his head, and he knows that the doctor is at least eight or nine points right. Yu Chengmu is obviously the role of a military adviser, and Zhou Qing is The errand runner was only responsible for pushing the door open, and then came back to Yu Chengmu to take care of him, and then left it to Zhang Junyu to go in and find the way.

After thinking about it, the fat man said cautiously: "Doctor, there are more than three roles in a professional tomb robber gang?"

"Of course it's more than that. At least there should be a supporter, that is, a boss who gathers these people together and is responsible for providing equipment, investing funds, and paying dividends to these people." Jiang Cheng said peacefully.

Hearing the word boss, the fat man's face changed, obviously because he thought of something bad.

Seeing the fat man's face, Jiang Cheng nodded affirmatively, "That's right, we've all seen this person before, that's Jia Jinliang. Just now I was watching Zhang Junyu's footsteps, and I was noticed by that old fox Yu Chengmu. That Jia Jinliang followed If those who come to spy on us find that we have seen through their identities, they will not let us go."

"Jia Jinliang, and... and A Biao beside him, he and Yu Chengmu are in the same group!" The fat man couldn't help but gasped. There were 11 people in total, and their group of desperadoes accounted for nearly half.

"Well, that A Biao should be Jia Jinliang's bodyguard. He looks inconspicuous and doesn't speak, but his eyes are very fierce. He probably has a life in his hands. The bosses in this business like to hire bodyguards from Southeast Asia. This business is black and black. Many people kill people and throw them directly into ancient tombs, and then fill up the robbery holes, without anyone noticing, and no one may find out decades later."

After listening to Jiang Cheng's analysis, the fat man thought of Jia Jinliang's flattering face, and felt chills in his heart. At the same time, he realized one thing. Not long ago, the three of Yu Chengmu and Jia Jinliang A Biao came from the same road. And the time between the two groups is very short.

Now it seems that the five of them came in together, but after seeing them from a distance, they were divided into two groups. Among them, Yu Chengmu was in the light, and Jia Jinliang was in the dark, just like they used to be. .
