Day and night tour

Chapter 44 Execution
Zhou Xuan felt that Mr. Dai’s weakness was his body shape.

For more than thirty years, Mr. Dai has been getting thinner every year - the White Walker in his body shows all signs of being extremely greedy, and its favorite food is the human spirit.

Children are the most spiritual.

Spirituality cannot simply be separated from the human body.

As the foot of the White Walkers, after Mr. Dai digested the child's body, only the pure spirit remained, which was like a peeled fruit and was enjoyed by the White Walkers.

The White Walkers are greedy, and Mr. Dai's appetite also needs to be synchronized. If he doesn't eat, the White Walkers will starve.

So he must have eaten a lot.

How come I become thinner after eating as much as I want for a long time?

In Zhou Xuan's opinion, the period when Mr. Dai was the Big Belly Monk was the most suitable for his character of a "footman".

"So, to be precise, Mr. Dai, it is not the foot of a White Walker, but the foot discarded by a White Walker."

Yuan Buyu once said that as the White Walkers grow up, they may become dissatisfied with their old feet and look for new feet.

This characteristic was formed because the White Walkers were too weak when they were first born.

Because it is too weak, the first thing it thinks about is how to survive. Without the protection of its "feet", it will encounter unexpected risks at every moment. It does not have enough time to choose the most suitable "feet", so it naturally uses whoever it catches.

As the White Walkers' magical powers gradually became more and more powerful, they began to dislike the incompetent Mr. Dai from the bottom of their hearts. Little Sweetie turned into Mrs. Cow. After a while, the White Walkers abandoned Mr. Dai and went to find a new love.

Therefore, at this moment, there was no White Walker in Mr. Dai's body at all.

If that's the case, then what is there to worry about?
The White Walkers are not around, and even if Mr. Dai has some skills, he still has his shadow to protect him.

"Search, keep searching!"

Zhou Xuan followed the group of eight people and continued on the "road to find Dai".

……

After walking through the entire corridor, what comes into view is an artificial lake of living water, which is what Yu Chengyuan mentioned last time as the "water center".

There is a culvert under the artificial lake, street lamps are erected around the lake, and courtyard neon gas lamps stand in the lake, half a meter above the water surface, emitting colorful lights.

There is a medium-sized black-sailed boat moored on the shore. It is simply decorated but not bulky. It would be very pleasant to play cards and drink in the boat at night.

The bright lights reflected on the water and the painted boats floating on the waves, it is just such a scene.

Zhou Xuan didn't feel beautiful, he just felt like he was about to vomit from exhaustion.

What were the eight "things" made of? The athletic ability of the six corpses was equivalent to nothing, and the other two were bewitched by the corpses, and their hands and feet were also slow, so the responsibility of rowing naturally fell on Zhou Xuan.

This boat is big and deep, so he has to row it with one oar...

"Mr. Dai, you old man, you have to buy such a big boat. What's wrong with a smaller one? Can't a smaller one satisfy you?"

Zhou Xuan took great pains and finally rowed the boat to the house in the middle of the lake. The house was extremely majestic and the roof was built in the shape of a lotus flower. It was given a name, called "Lotus Pond".

"We've got it!"

Zhou Xuan was sweating profusely. He took off his shirt and twisted it with his hand, and it flowed like a faucet.

alright,

If I really can't find Mr. Dai, then it won't be a wasted trip.

Exercising is also a serious matter.

Lotus Pond is a wooden door commonly used in Buddhist temples. It is thick and heavy. The old hunter pushed the door open with a creaking sound, and a group of people rushed in.

Water, still water!
In the house by the lotus pond, in addition to the three side rooms, there is also an artificial small lake inside the house, similar to the one in the center of the water, which should be connected to the big lake outside through an underground canal.

In the middle of the lake, there stands a huge statue of Maitreya Buddha, whose head almost touches the roof.

The lakeside is connected to the Buddha by a stone path.

The eight people didn't even look at the side rooms. They walked towards the Buddha on the stone path with lanterns in their hands.

Zhou Xuan also followed. With every step he took, he could always hear the screams of ghosts coming from the direction of the Buddha. The screams were so shrill that they made people feel panic and itchy.

It was not until he was about four or five meters away from the Buddha that Zhou Xuan heard it clearly.

The screams did not come from the Buddha statue, but from under the Buddha.

At this time, the old hunter had already walked to the foot of the Buddha. He stretched out his hand and pinched a small copper ring at the inconspicuous corner of the Buddha's clothes. He pulled it gently, and there was a crisp sound of a spring turning.
Soon, a long corridor appeared in front of Zhou Xuan.

The entrance to the corridor is on the round belly of the Buddha...

It turned out to be a secret passage.

Zhou Xuan understood a little bit. He had been wondering what the relationship between the Six Corpses and Mr. Dai was a little bit confused in the past few days. Now it seems that all the dirty things Mr. Dai had done must have been helped by these Six Corpses.

Otherwise, how could they know everything about him, even the secret passages and mechanisms? Zhou Xuan subconsciously took a few steps back, not because he was afraid, but because he was ashamed to be associated with them. What good could it be to be an assistant to Mr. Dai?

Eight people entered the corridor. Zhou Xuan waited for a while before going in. Before he walked too deep into the corridor, a strong stench and smell of blood hit his nose fiercely, making him stagger.

"It stinks!"

It smells bad, but there are many holes carved on the stone walls of the corridor, and spices are placed inside.

The smell of spices mixed with the stench made it taste even weirder.

"You can't keep this dress when you go back. It's too shabby."

Zhou Xuan quickened his pace, wanting to get things done quickly. It wasn't because he was anxious, but he was really worried that if he delayed any longer, he would be marinated and the smell would be impossible to wash off.

But the further he went inside, the more frightened he became. At the first bend, above the corridor, there was an iron chain hanging from which hung the corpse of a woman in a cassock.

There were densely packed holes on the exposed skin of the female corpse. The holes were almost as big as pinholes, but if you looked closely, you would find that they were of different sizes, as if each hole had its own ideas.

Zhou Xuan almost developed trypophobia when seeing the densely packed holes with disordered patterns on the skin.

Walking a little further along the corridor, he came across another male corpse that was hung up. With the psychological preparation he had seen before, Zhou Xuan's reaction was much smaller this time. Moreover, this man's death was at least normal. He was "only" cut open and his internal organs were removed...

Zhou Xuan continued walking forward until he reached the end of the corridor. Along the way, he encountered four corpses.

The ways of dying are also different.

One was burnt to charcoal,

A torso with limbs separated was hung up by several chains.

There was also an old man and an old woman, who were pierced by a huge iron hook, tightly hooking the two together.

"This gentleman Dai is too perverted. He does charity work outside every day, but secretly conducts human experiments in the dark passage, right?"

Zhou Xuan thought that these corpses were related to the "Blood Well Human Experiment". He suddenly felt pain in his waist again. He quickly touched his kidneys. Both the left and right kidneys were intact. Fortunately, everything was fine...

At the end of the corridor is a wooden door.

Pushing open the wooden door, there is a transitional room. The furnishings are similar to those of a normal living room. There are paintings hanging on the wall, a sofa in the corner, and a door on the west wall leading to the next room.

At this time, the door was open and the six corpses were not there. It was obvious that they had gone to the next room.

Zhou Xuan didn't rush to the next room, but lit a cigarette. He was a little shocked and needed to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall to relax...

He exhaled a cigarette and looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. One piece of calligraphy caught his attention.

This calligraphy is a sacrificial text.

Zhou Xuan, who was fond of calligraphy, had a better understanding of sacrificial texts. After all, when most calligraphy enthusiasts were copying ancient calligraphy, they could not avoid the second best running script in the world - "Sacrificial Text for My Nephew".

There are standards for writing sacrificial texts, especially the first few sentences, which follow only a few patterns.

Having seen it so many times, Zhou Xuan ignored these standard words.

He cast his eyes directly on the main text of the sacrificial text.

The content of this eulogy seriously impacted his three views.

The content is as follows: "My wife Xianggui, you are suffering from the punishment of blood sucking, and the pain is unbearable. I feel the same pain and accept Siming's greetings.

My son Minghua, you were executed by having your belly pecked by a goshawk. I shed tears while watching the execution and I bow to you as your father.

My daughter Dai Juan, you were burned in fire, and your father will remember it in his heart.

The two elder parents were in the upper room and suffered the punishment of being pierced with hooks and fitting their bodies, and their son was so grateful that he burst into tears.

Minghan, you have disobeyed me many times, so I am letting you be beheaded because I am showing you mercy and letting you make up for your crime!"

The penultimate line of the sacrificial text has a cinnabar-red heading with three words "executioner" written on it, followed by a handprint and a pen signature.

There are six signatures in total - Zhu Tian, ​​Zhao Dongsheng... Li Shuiqu, etc.

Zhou Xuan was not familiar with these six names, but he could guess them with his butt - they were the names of the six corpses!
Under the instructions of Mr. Dai, Liu Shi executed all members of the Dai family.

As for Mr. Dai's publicity about his family being transferred to Mingjiang Mansion, it now seems that it was just a smokescreen to cover up the "evaporation" of his family.

"Why is this happening? Because of what?"

With Zhou Xuan's moral concepts, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be really hard to understand how a person could be so cruel and shameless... to harm his own family, and even write a disgusting eulogy with an attitude of being rewarded by a king and being superior.

Zhou Xuan glanced at the bottom line of the sacrificial text again...

　Happy National Day, brothers. I forgot to wish you all yesterday, so I’ll make up for it today. Mmmmm
