Chapter 69 Secrets of Five Poisons
"Don't pick it up! There are dead people in there!" Feng Junyang shouted back.
"Are there dead people?" Ye Xuanji suddenly came to his spirits. Hurry up! Go in and have a look."
"Dead people, what are you looking for, look!" Feng Junyang handed over the amputated bone and said, "Enough to see."
"Stop it, I mean, this is a secret way. How can someone die in it? Did you escape from the fire? Come, too. Let's go in and have a look.
The handsome and reluctant cat entered the secret road with Ye Xuanji. The air in the secret mouth was turbid, and they couldn't help sneezing a few times. It can be straightened up." Ye Xuanji reminded him.
They straightened up, and the height of the dark road was about two meters. Normal people would not meet when they walked around, and the width could also accommodate three people to walk side by side.
"Whose hand bone was that just now?" Feng Junyang boldly raised his hand bones and asked.
"I didn't see this behind your back?" Ye Xuanji said lightly.
He suddenly turned around, and the mud wall of the back passage was indeed leaning on a skeleton, with some pieces of clothes on his body, with his head facing out and his back facing inward. He carefully restored the amputated bone, but he couldn't connect it. He put it on and fell down.
"I'm sorry, I put it on your feet." He stood up carefully for fear of knocking over the skeleton, and it would be troublesome to get together when it fell off.
"Junyang, come here, there are two more." Ye Xuanji shouted angrily in the urn.
He ran over with a torch. Master squatted on the ground. There were still two bodies on the ground, crawling, with his hands out in a crawling posture. The clothes behind him were rotten, but the true colors were faintly visible.
"You squat down." Ye Xuanji said, "Did you see it? There is a hanging Buddha pearl on the hand of this corpse.
"Is it Mrs. Wu Yazhu?" Feng Junyang knew that his wife Wu Yazhu was chanting in the secret Tao, and his first reaction was her!
"It should be. She has a bunch of such beads. Let me take a look again. This body is not tall and has a small skeleton. It should be a woman. The eldest wife is dressed in vegetarian food, and there is only a string of Buddha beads all over her body. This body should be her.
"Amitabha, good and good!" Feng Junyang put his hands together and felt infinitely sorry in his heart. The person who recited Buddhism died in this way.
"Can you help me turn this body over?" Ye Xuanji said politely.
"Why are you so polite when you order?" Feng Junyang said, "I thought there was a third living person here. If I don't do it, I'm afraid it won't close. He came to me at night... Besides, he has been sleeping there for decades and is used to it. If you turn it over, he won't be able to sleep after. In the middle of the night, I asked me to turn it over, and I have to go..."
"Why did you say... such a poor mouth?" Ye Xuanji squatted down and looked carefully around the corpse, "I want to take out some accessories in front of him to see who it is..."
"In short, it's not Mei Lanyue..." Feng Junyang raised the torch and walked inside.
"Feng Junyang! Come back!" Ye Xuanji shouted, "This man is Mei Yijun!"
Feng Junyang suddenly stopped. Isn't Mei Yijun the owner of Jinmei Villa?
He is not celebrating his mother's birthday. He should entertain guests in the courtyard. How could he die in secret with his eldest wife? Who is the person standing dead at the dark road?
He hurried back to the master and said in disbelief, "What do you say Mei Yijun?"
Ye Xuanji's voice is full of endless sadness and desolation: "This little sword is Mei Yijun's belongings. It was given to him by my master. He liked it very much and said that it can exorcise evil spirits. This soft jade is Mei Yijun's beloved thing. Look at it, it is white and flawless, and it is still so crystal clear, but its owner..."
Feng Junyang took the soft jade from Ye Xuanji's hand, and felt that the texture was very delicate. The whole body was white, shiny and moist, like curdge. At first glance, it was the best in the jade - mutton fat white jade.
"Master, Mei Yijun wears this white jade and lives in a magnificent palace. Doesn't anyone say that he is ambitious?" Feng Junyang asked, because the white jade of mutton fat has been valued by people since ancient times and is very precious. It not only symbolizes the gentleman's morals of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and purity, but also symbolizes the secular emotions of beauty, nobility, auspiciousness, gentleness and peace. In ancient times, only emperors were qualified to wear superior white jade.
"Mei Yijun is modest and a real gentleman. What about living in a house? What about wearing white jade? He has never had an official position in his life. He is a Confucian businessman. How can he have political ambition? Ye Xuanji was very sad, "Don't use your guess to measure a person. The respect he receives is something that future generations can no longer achieve."
"Master, you already knew that Mei Yijun was dead. Why are you so sad now? He was not burned to death in the courtyard and died here. Is the result different?
"It's different! He died in this dark road, and his body was facing out of the door. Look at the posture before he and Wu Yazhu died, they were struggling outside the door. Junyang, he was killed. Ye Xuanji said sadly, "Maybe he came here to invite his eldest wife to a birthday banquet, and the eldest wife also agreed to go, but she was attacked halfway... At that time, the Mei family should not have had a big fire, otherwise he should have walked into the dark road..."
"Who is the person who died standing at the dark road? It's all at the exit. How can you die? Feng Junyang thought hard and hastily examined the head of the body on the ground. "Their skulls are intact and there is no fatal injury. Could it be that the poison and smoke were put in the secret way? Then the secret exit was sealed, and none of them went out?
Ye Xuanji stood up leisurely, as if Mei Yijun had died here, which was a great blow to him. Feng Junyang went up, held the master, and comforted him, "Master, anyway, he is dead. Now let's see if there are any clues that we can restore the scene at that time."
With that, he leaned over and looked for it in the dark road. But there is only moist soil on the ground and hay dragged in by rats. He did not give up and walked in along the dark path. Fortunately, there was no fork in this dark path. After walking about 200 meters, the secret path suddenly became open, and a spacious arch cave appeared in front of him!
He held his torch high and walked around the cave. There were four candlesticks hanging on the four walls of the cave, with a fragrant case in the center, on which there was a huge Guanyin statue and large and small incense burners. It seems that this is the place where the eldest wife worships Buddha, the main room of a rich family, but recites Buddhist scriptures in this dark and humid cave where the sun does not see the earth. If it is not a desperate situation, and if the heart is not ashes, it will not come out.
He looked carefully at the things on the incense case, which were covered with dust, neatly arranged, and there was nothing strange. He knocked everywhere on the wall of the four walls, touched the protruding stones, and turned the candlesticks. Generally, he tried all the mechanism methods used in the secret, but to no results. He thought regretfully: This is just a place where the eldest lady stays away from right and wrong and escapes from reality. Where can there be any entrance to the dungeon? Master's thinking is too complicated.
Master said that Mei Yijun is intelligent and will he set the organ on the ground? He leaned on the ground and looked around. The torch gradually became shorter and was about to burn. Disappointed, he was that he was not proficient in the mechanism. If only Fengwu was here. Thinking about this, he hastily searched again, but this time he made a new discovery.
Under the incense case, there is a book lying quietly.
He picked it up curiously. A few pages of the bottom of the book were wet and deteriorated by the ground and stuck to the ground. He took the torn book, and the torch had been burned out. He could only grope out of the cave, went straight out, and saw the fire of Ye Xuanji.
"Master, it's just a place for the eldest lady to recite scriptures. I found a book under the incense case.
"What's strange? The eldest wife is a famous lady, and it's normal to read books. It may be a scripture. Ye Xuanji said and put the torch close to the book, "Let me see if the old lady reads the scriptures or not. If not, it's a fake for her to read the scriptures here..."
"Five...poison secrets..." Feng Junyang shook the dust on the book. Because of the cover of the incense case, the writing was not wet by the water dripping from the cave. It was well preserved, and the words on the writing could be seen clearly.
"What? The secret of the five poisons? Ye Xuanji was shocked to throw away all the torches in his hand! The torch fell on Feng Junyang's foot. He kicked it away and joked, "Master, do you want to burn me as a substitute for the Mei family?"
"Five poison secrets...Five poison secrets..." Ye Xuanji said, "It's impossible!"
"You mean the old lady hides to see the secrets of the five poisons?" Feng Junyang doesn't believe it either.
I'm not talking about the old lady. She won't read such a book. I mean, I've seen the five poison secrets before..."
"Whose?"
"Do you remember the Sangzi who told you about stealing the master's medical book? It's his!" Ye Xuanji said, "Sang Zi joined the master. At the beginning, he behaved moderately and learned some basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine and was also very serious. The master took good care of him at the beginning, saying that he was not qualified but studied hard. But once, the Mei family gave us several jars of osmanthus wine for decades. We drank it happily. Sang Zi drank too much and actually used small tricks. All the brothers he had toasted were red and swollen and their eyes were green. We thought it was poisoned by drinking. Sang Zi didn't think so. He asked everyone to call him the eldest brother, and he would detoxify.
"As a result, the poison was solved, and this matter also spread to the master. Master gathered all the disciples and let Sang Zi admit his mistake. Sang Zi not only didn't recognize it, but also fainted the brothers who touched him and wanted to attack the master. As I said before, the master is also a poison maker. Sang Zi's tricks are all small tricks in the master's eyes. He subdued Sang Zi and found this five poison secret from him.
"What happened later?" Feng Junyang asked.
"Later, Master asked Sang Zi to destroy the book." Ye Xuanji recalled, "The next day, Sang Zi left without saying goodbye. Master said that Sang Zi stole his book... After this incident, the master asked his disciples to go to Yunnan to find Sang Zi. Half a month later, the Mei family was on fire. You all know that.
"So, Sang Zi entered this secret road to kill Mei Yijun, Wu Yazhu and the man at the secret road?" Feng Junyang said, "Sang Zi will poison, and there is no sign of fighting at the scene. All three people went out of the door. They may have been poisoned and escaped. Master, but there is no reason for Sangzi to kill them.
"You don't know that Sangzi likes the second lady to chase the moon. Where can Mei Yijun see such a cruel and unknown person as Sang Zi? He also informed him that he would not be allowed to bring Sangzi to visit in the future.
"Sang Zi hates killing people? Do you know how many times he has been to Mei's house?
"This is unknown. Ghostchou is Mei Yijun's good friend. He often comes to play chess and chat with Mei Yijun. It's also common to bring a disciple here.
" Few people know about this hidden organ, right? How could Sang Zi know?" Feng Junyang felt that there was something strange about it. It was impossible for Mei Yijun to look down on him alone, and Sangzi could kill and enter the secret path in the backyard.
