Chapter 49 Snake Bone
After seeing the snake bones burned, Zhao Mingyuan, Qiu Damei and the two little policemen were shocked. The four people's attention slowly shifted from the burning snake bones to Yang Xiao. Zhao Mingyuan walked to Fatty Sun and said at a loss: "Sun Ju, what is Yang Ke's skill?"
Fatty Sun blinked and said, "What kind of craftsmanship is just scale powder. But this scale powder is specially made with ingredients. It is used to check this.... Is there any gunpowder in the surrounding air? If the ashes are fired here, it can be detected."
Zhao Mingyuan listened seriously. After Fatty Sun finished speaking, he nodded in a sudden realization and said, "Special scale powder, Sun Ju, this thing is good. If you have the opportunity, you can promote it to us at the grassroots level. I wonder what material has been added to this scale powder. Is it difficult to make it?"
Fatty Sun really couldn't make it up, so he looked at Zhao Mingyuan with some anger and said, "Old Zhao, it's not that I'm talking about you, what do you do if you ask so much, you'll be sick if you know too much."
Fatty Sun finally sent Zhao Mingyuan back, and then he leaned over to Yang Xiao and whispered in his ear: "Old Yang, next time we witness a miracle, can we carry some outsiders on our backs? At least I would like to hint me in advance and let me prepare, and think about how the lies that followed - Lao Yang, are you okay? Is there a problem with this snake bone?"
Just as Fatty Sun was talking, the fire on the snake bones had already been extinguished. The remaining snake bones appeared a strange blackness. In this dark space, these black snake bones actually emitted a hazy halo.
Yang Xiao ignored Fatty Sun. He walked to the snake bones, squatted on the ground and picked up a string of snake bones. Although it was burned black, the snake bone still maintained its shape before it was burned. Even if it was caught by Yang Xiao, it still maintained the characteristics of snake bones that were buckled one by one.
Yang Xiao grabbed the snake tail bone and shook it suddenly. He saw that the snake bones seemed to have suddenly come alive. It twisted violently on Yang Xiao's hand. The snake head, which had turned into black bones, had opened its mouth. Fatty Sun could clearly see that the two black poisonous fangs on the top of the snake's mouth were emitting strange light.
After the snake bone twisted for a moment, the snake head turned toward Yang Xiao's direction. Suddenly the snake's mouth opened wide and rushed towards Yang Xiao's wrist like lightning. When he was about to bite Yang Xiao's wrist, he saw the snake bones suddenly tilted, as if they were being sucked by a powerful suction force. In a blink of an eye, it had already reached Yang Xiao's other hand. The snake head was firmly grasped and could not move any more, but the snake bones were still twisting violently.
At this time, Yang Xiao seemed to see something interesting, and an elusive smile appeared on his face. His lips trembled slightly, as if he was saying something, but the people in the cave could not hear any sound. After a while, a blush suddenly emanated from the originally pitch-black snake bones. The color of the blush became darker and darker. Not long after, a red flame appeared on the string of snake bones again. Yang Xiao relaxed his hand. At this time, the snake bones were no longer as angry as before. After falling to the ground, they broke into several sections, and were still burning with crackling sounds.
Yang Xiao kicked the still-burning snake bones into the pile of snake bones in front of him. With a "boom", the snake bones scattered on the ground set off fire. The snake bones twisted violently. After they touched each other, they ignited the fire on their bodies. The cave that was originally pitch black became bright in an instant.
While Zhao Mingyuan and the others were still stunned, Fatty Sun approached Yang Xiao and said, "Didn't I say, Lao Yang, this is so burning, are you really not going to say anything?"
Yang Xiao looked back at Fatty Sun, smiled slightly, and said, "There are no problems with these snakes themselves, but after they die, some people will hold the souls of these snakes in the bones, and their bodies will be dead and immortal. This technique was passed down in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally used to deal with tomb robbers. As long as a living person passes by, the yang energy flows into the yin flows, these snake souls will be awakened and bite to the tomb robbers to death."
"No," Fatty Sun stopped Yang Xiao's words. He lowered his voice and interrupted, "You said that living people passed by, these dead snakes would be awakened. The dead snake just now was obviously awakened by you. Lao Yang, it wasn't me that even if I had little knowledge, I had never eaten pork or saw pigs running. You can't hide this from me."
"You listened to everything, and you'll have nothing to hide from you." Yang Xiao looked at Fatty Sun helplessly, and then continued: "Before we came, someone should have come, and this person stopped the soul trapped in the snake bone. However, over time, the souls inside the snake bones will still wake up, not as good as me, just come after all."
"Someone has come..." Fatty Sun repeated Yang Xiao's words, then looked at him and said three words: "Wu Rendi?"
Yang Xiao looked at Fat Sun without comment and said, "It shouldn't be. Judging from the activity level of the snake corpse just now, this person has been here for at least ten hours."
When they were talking, Hugo had already come over, but Director Hugo didn't interrupt at the beginning. He just listened on the side. When Yang Xiao said this, he couldn't help but speak, "Yang, is that an evil spirit named Liu Baozhen? As long as he appears, these poisonous snakes will definitely appear."
Yang Xiao and Hugo have a good relationship. He answered Director Hugo's words, which was much more detailed than the answer to Deputy Sun's sentence: "Everyone is possible, but it is definitely not Liu Baozhen. He is now a soul with some knowledge of Taoism. He may be able to awaken these snake corpses to harm people. However, if you want to quarrel with the soul trapped in the snake bone, you need a living person to do it. If Liu Baozhen forced to quarrel with the soul trapped in the snake bone, he would not be able to do it, but the first soul trapped by the snake bone is him."
When Yang Xiao spoke, the snake corpses had burned to the end, most of the snake bones had been burned to ashes, and there were still some faint flames on the bodies of several snake corpses.
At this time, Zhao Mingyuan also came over. Just now, when Fatty Sun, Yang Xiao and Hugo were talking to each other, Deputy Director Zhao didn't dare to come over to disturb him. Now when he saw these four people saying something similar, he walked to Fat Sun and said with a bitter face: "Sun Juchang, look--or I'd better take people outside to respond. I just understood that the case today was not something that we little policemen had contacted. Don't worry, I have told Qiu Damei and the others that all the people saw today would be rotten in their stomachs, and even their parents would not reveal a word."
Speaking of this, Zhao Mingyuan paused for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and continued, "Don't worry about how to get to the top of the mountain. I just agreed with Qiu Damei and asked her to draw a map in detail. You can take the map to ensure that it will not be delayed. Sun Ju, if you have nothing else, we will not delay the leaders from continuing to investigate the case."
Looking at Zhao Mingyuan's awkward look, he almost said that he had an old lady in his 80s on the top, a child who just knew how to call him father, and a wife in the middle was still young...
Fatty Sun grinned and said, "Then you go out and stay. Lao Zhao, it's not me that you are also a savor. You know what confidentiality regulations are. I won't say much about the unnecessary ones. Let Damei draw the map carefully, so that she can't find the way up and find you."
Hearing Fatty Sun agreeing to let them go, Zhao Mingyuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Qiu Damei is doing the job of painting the suspect's avatar, it is absolutely impossible. Make sure that the painting is the same as the photos, so that all leaders will not go astray."
After saying that, perhaps because he was afraid that Fatty Sun would regret it, Deputy Director Zhao trotted and returned to Qiu Damei's side. With the two little policemen, the four began to whisper. Then, they began to find paper and pens. Zhao Mingyuan and another policeman held a flashlight and shone the light. Qiu Damei squatted in front of a big stone and drew a map inside the cave.
Seven or eight minutes later, Zhao Mingyuan took the map that Qiu Damei had just drawn and ran to Fatty Sun again. After handing the map over, Zhao Mingyuan smiled and said, "Sun Juchang, this map has been drawn too. Look, are we--"
At the end of the day, Zhao Mingyuan pointed to the direction outside the cave entrance. Fatty Sun saw that the map was still clear, so he smiled and said to Zhao Mingyuan: "Then you go out and wait for us. After the matter here is done, take us back together."
Zhao Mingyuan kept nodding and said in a little unwavering manner: "We must provide a good response to all leaders..."
After saying that, Zhao Mingyuan waved to Qiu Damei and others opposite, and the four of them ran towards the entrance of the cave together. Seeing that they were about to rush out, they heard a loud "boom". Then, the cave began to shake violently for a few times. Zhao Mingyuan and his men didn't know what was wrong, and their pace began to slow down.
