cave
Ye Jingan gritted his teeth and stopped arguing with him. He had already thought about how to beat him to death.
When they arrived at their destination, it was already past two in the morning, and the lights at the farm were all off. Liu Muze glanced around, frowning slightly. Surprisingly, he didn't see any yin energy at the farm.
"Brother Liu, are you looking for human flesh? My Xiaobao can help you find it." Qiu Zimu took out a small box from his bag and handed it to Liu Muzhe.
Liu Muzhe raised his eyebrows, thinking of the insect that Qiu Zimu had eaten by the corpse baby before, which was called Iron Armor Little Treasure, and he became interested and wanted to take a look.
The jar containing the corpse insect was opened, revealing two small black insects. Liu Muze fiddled with them with his hands. The little beetles immediately became angry and let out a sharp whistle.
"You have quite a bad temper." Liu Muzhe smiled. He had dealt with Gu breeders before. When he accompanied the Gu master to the Dark Cloud Realm to find the ghost butterfly, he also learned some skills of Gu. The Gu master also gave him a very powerful Gu worm, but he did not raise it because he thought these little things were too troublesome.
"That's it!" Qiu Zimu was very confident in the poisonous insects he had chosen, and put them on the ground with a smile.
At this time, the old woman who had been quiet in the car got out and saw the farm. She immediately became very excited and shouted that her son was inside. She could feel it and wanted to follow them.
"Don't get excited, we will help you find your son. Come with us." Ye Jing'an comforted.
But the poisonous insect did not enter the farm, but instead crawled into the deep mountains behind the farm.
"Are you a bad bug?" Ye Jing'an saw that it didn't look like it was going to look for a dead person, but more like it was finally freed from his broken jar and was about to return to nature.
"You can't!" Qiu Zimu stared at his little treasure without moving his eyes.
Ye Jingan didn't quite trust his black insect, muttering all the way. After walking for about half an hour, he saw the insect enter a small cave. Ye Jingan shouted, "Look, look, I told you it was going back to nature. It's already found a place to live!"
Qiu Zimu rolled his eyes and said, "You know shit. My Xiaobao has already found the body."
The entrance to the cave was covered in dense vegetation. If the Gu worm hadn't crawled in, the few people wouldn't have noticed the cave at all. The entrance was very small, so one had to squat and take small steps to enter.
Inside was a small, semicircular space, its stone walls covered in ivy. On the ground lay a mass of wormwood, pine and cypress branches, and grapefruit and orange peels. Some had been burned, leaving a strong, unique aroma.
The insect crawled into the pile of wormwood. Qiu Zimu moved the grass aside and found a locked iron door. It was closed tightly, and the gap in the ground was also sealed with cement. The insect could not get in and was lingering in front of the door. Qiu Zimu took it into the jar and said to the others, "It's in here."
Liu Muzhe opened the door skillfully. After the door opened, a strong smell of blood hit the faces of several people. The stench was pungent. When they entered, they were directly surrounded by the bloody smell, and they dared not breathe deeply.
"Oh my God...what's that smell? I actually found it." Ye Jing'an covered his nose.
Liu Muzhe found the light switch. When the light came on, the scene in front of him was so shocking that it gave him goosebumps.
The first thing that caught my eye was the bones on the ground with the flesh shaved off, with some muscle tissue still remaining on them, piled up into a small hill.
Nearby stood a number of blue, meter-long, wide barrels of clinker and a large plastic fish pond. Approaching, I saw the pond filled with bloody heads. Opening the plastic barrels revealed various organs, hands and feet, and bits of meat.
This sudden bloody scene was horrifying and unbearable to watch.
Qiu Zimu and Ye Jing'an ran out, retching. Qiu Zimu, a Gu Master, had seen many disgusting scenes, large and small, and had seen hundreds, if not thousands, of corpses. Even he couldn't handle the shock. Ye Jing'an felt like he'd vomit his intestines if he stayed any longer.
The old woman cried out "Ah", knelt on the ground, crawled towards the fish pond, picked up a child and started crying: "My child, I'm sorry for you..."
Liu Muze sighed and walked out, asking, "Are you all okay?"
"It's okay, I just don't feel like eating for the next few days." Ye Jing'an waved his hand.
"So many people have died, yet there's no trace of yin energy." Liu Muzhe had a bad feeling, "Let's call the police first."
The police went out overnight and arrived quickly.
"It's you again, what a coincidence." The leading police officer came over and greeted with a smile, "Let's be friends. My name is Lu Yu."
This policeman was known to everyone. It was Officer Lu who caused the last drinking blunder. Ye Jingan grabbed his hand that was extended to Liu Muze and said with a smile, "Hello, Officer Lu. You already know the name, so we won't introduce you."
Liu Muzhe smiled slightly when he saw Ye Jing'an's action, and nodded to Lu Yu.
"Officer Lu, this doesn't count as trespassing, right?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"Of course not. You guys have done a great deed!" Lu Yu chatted with a smile for a few moments before entering the cave to inspect the crime scene. Not long after, he emerged with a frown on his face. "We just got word that the owner of the farm has fled. Our inspection revealed wild boar meat. I wonder how he knew the police would investigate and switched the meat beforehand, escaping the investigation. We didn't find this cave back then, and we're really grateful to you. Otherwise, we'd still be in the dark."
During the conversation, a sinister laugh reached Liu Muze's ears: "The one who is punished by heaven..."
"Who?" Liu Muzhe turned around and shouted.
The laughter continued, but it was getting farther and farther away.
"Wait for me here!" He followed the voice.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" Ye Jing'an and the other two didn't hear any movement.
After a while, Liu Muzhe still hadn't returned, and he didn't answer the phone. Ye Jing'an felt inexplicably anxious and wanted to go look for him because he was worried.
The laughter died down after Liu Muze ran into a bamboo forest. He saw nothing strange around him. He used a talisman to search the area, but the person had already vanished, leaving no trace. He gave up the chase and returned the same way.
"Brother Liu, where are you?" Ye Jing'an, sword in hand, walked for more than ten minutes without seeing anyone. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his neck. He reached out and touched it, and it was covered in blood. "What kind of insect bit me?"
At this time, Liu Muze also came out of the woods. Seeing Ye Jingan standing in the distance, he asked, "Why did you come here alone?"
"I didn't answer the phone because I was afraid you might be in danger, so I came to find you." Ye Jing'an relaxed after seeing Liu Muzhe.
"How could I be in danger? You, on the other hand, only have a few basic skills. Don't run around alone." Liu Muze saw the blood on his neck with the help of the flashlight. "Why are you bleeding?"
"It was probably bitten by an insect." Ye Jing'an was not sure either.
Liu Muze glanced at the pinhole-sized wound, which was still bleeding. He thought of the phrase "person punished by heaven" and felt a strong sense of unease. He said, "You are not allowed to come out alone from now on. Do you understand?"
"Hey, I'm not a child." Ye Jing'an said.
"Promise me." Liu Muzhe stared at him seriously.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Jing'an restrained his smile.
He took off the pink chalcedony from around his neck, touched it in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently let out the breath that had just been suppressed in his chest. He hung the pink chalcedony around Ye Jingan's neck: "Wear it well, don't break it."
"What is that?" Ye Jing'an picked up the pink chalcedony and shone it on his phone. A strong and complex emotion rushed from his heart to his head. He suddenly felt his head feel heavy. He suddenly fell to the ground, holding his head, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. Ye Jing'an asked in a trembling voice, "What...what is this? And that white light inside?"
"Why are you crying?" Liu Muze wanted to wipe away his tears. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Ye Jingan grabbed his hand and asked again, tears still flowing uncontrollably.
Liu Muze didn't understand why he had such a big reaction, so he explained, "This is pink chalcedony. It should contain something to ward off evil spirits, but it's also sealed with a very strong seal. I don't know what it is specifically, but it can protect you."
The two were silent for a while, and Ye Jing'an stared blankly at the pink chalcedony.
Liu Muze frowned slightly, thinking that Ye Jing'an seemed to have a stronger ability to empathize than the average person. Could it be that his negative emotions had penetrated into the chalcedony and were being sensed by him? Liu Muze wiped away his tears and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"When I saw it, I suddenly felt uncomfortable and happy. I didn't know what kind of mood it was. My head felt heavy and I had a headache..." Ye Jing'an held the chalcedony tightly and squatted on the ground.
Liu Muze's words confirmed his previous suspicions. He probably thought it was all those negative emotions that were causing the problem. He had thought the pink chalcedony would protect him, but he hadn't expected it to affect him. He wanted to take it off. "This chalcedony might have some issues. Give it back to me, and I'll find you something else to wear."
"No, I like it. Why would you want to take it back after you gave it to me?" Ye Jing'an hid the chalcedony in his clothes and covered it with his hands against his chest.
Ye Jing'an knew that Brother Liu had many treasures, many of which were bracelets and necklaces. Even those who didn't know much about the business would know that they were high-end items. However, Brother Liu didn't seem to like wearing them much. He would only occasionally pick up a necklace when he was interested, or perhaps when he needed it to catch ghosts, and he would take it off within a day.
The only thing he had never seen her take off was the necklace around her neck. Brother Liu always wore tightly-fitting clothes, so she always hid the necklace well. Ye Jing'an had never seen what the necklace looked like, but he could only occasionally see the black line on her neck.
He had previously curiously asked what treasure Brother Liu was wearing. Brother Liu said it was the last thing his relatives left him. Ye Jing'an knew that Brother Liu came from a poor family, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Weren't you feeling uncomfortable just now?" Liu Muzhe's mouth twitched.
"Just for a moment, I'm so happy now, hahahahaha..." Ye Jing'an jumped up and ran back while shouting, "Brother Liu only gave this treasure to me, oh hoo hoo!"
"I didn't say I was sending you off. I just wanted to pick you up and let you wear it." Liu Muzhe said helplessly.
"It's ok to lend it to me." Ye Jing'an changed his tone, "Brother Liu, lend me your treasure!"
Liu Muze: "..."
On the way back, Ye Jingan met Qiu Zimu and Officer Lu who came to look for them.
"What treasure did you pick up? You're so happy." Qiu Zimu was speechless when he saw his smiling face. He was worried about them just now.
"Yeah!" Ye Jing'an glanced at him slyly.
"What?" Qiu Zimu became curious after hearing his admission.
Ye Jingan smiled at him but didn't say anything.
Liu Muzhe smiled without saying anything, thinking that he was indeed a bit biased. He planned to find a nice thing for Qiu Zimu to wear and play with someday.
