Chapter 18 Chapter 17 Poisoning

"Tu Tut Tuk, Tuk Tuk Tuk." The crisp knock on the door has been ringing non-stop for a long time, Luo Fei finally woke up from his lethargy, he sat up abruptly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, only to see that the sky outside the window was dark.It may be that the fatigue has not yet dissipated, but he was in a daze, suddenly a little bit out of time, and he didn't know when he was. The knock on the door sounded again, accompanied by Meng Shaohui's call: "Officer Luo, Officer Luo?" Luo Fei shook his head vigorously, and then remembered that after lunch, he couldn't resist the tiredness, so he went back to the house and fell asleep with his head covered.Looking at the watch, it was nearly six o'clock in the evening, and this sleep was really not a short one.

Meng Shaohui was still calling outside the house, Luo Fei responded, dressed quickly, and then stepped forward to open the door. "Sorry." Meng Shaohui apologized outside the door, "I disturbed your sleep." "It's okay, I should get up too." Luo Fei waved his hands indifferently, and then asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter with you?" "That's right. Didn't you say at lunch that Monk Deping will do a ritual at night to honor the victims of the tsunami? I want to go there too and mourn together." "Oh." Luo Fei remembered, he mentioned this matter at noon, he was very casual and didn't take it to heart, because he neither believed nor was interested in these things.However, Meng Shaohui's mother also died in the tsunami, and this sacrifice has a special connection with his mother, so it is understandable that Meng Shaohui is more concerned.

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Luo Fei agreed to the other party's request after a little consideration.Because cases occurred one after another on the island, and the situation was not clear, Luo Fei took special care of Meng Shaohui at noon, not to go out alone after dark.Now that he took the initiative to come to the door to inform him, since he obeyed his own words and first showed his trust in himself, Luo Fei was somewhat relieved. After eating something, the two went out and headed north along the path at the foot of the mountain.The night on the island fell quickly, and it was completely dark at this time, and the mountain road revealed a different kind of darkness and silence.The two walked smoothly on the road, but when they approached the destination, because of the dark sky, it took a lot of trouble to find the path hidden in the bushes.After finally finding the right way, after walking through the bushes for a while, the sacrificial hall finally appeared in front of my eyes.

"It's past seven." Luo Fei looked at his watch, "I'm afraid we're a little late." "Go ahead." The door of the front room of the sacrificial hall was wide open, Meng Shaohui was a little impatient, and rushed in without saying hello. Seeing this situation, Luo Fei followed closely behind him. The door leading to the back room was tightly closed, and a dim oil lamp was lit inside the room.The little monk Huitong was sitting alone under the oil lamp in a daze, when he saw two uninvited guests suddenly barging in, he stood up quickly, swung his right hand repeatedly to prevent them from going any further, and put his index finger on his left hand to his lips, making a gesture Made a silent gesture.

Luo Fei understood, went to the little monk, and asked in a low voice, "Where is your master?" Huitong pointed to the direction of the back room, and replied cautiously: "They are doing something. Please keep your voice down, so as not to disturb the undead in the tomb." "They?" Luo Fei raised his eyebrows strangely, "Who else is there besides your master?" "Mr. Jin, and Zang Junyong who opened the karst cave." "The two of them are here too?" Luo Fei was somewhat surprised by this sudden appearance, which made him more interested in participating in this ceremony.He turned his head and glanced at Meng Shaohui, but Meng Shaohui didn't think too much, stepped forward and said to Hui Tong: "We are also here to participate in the ceremony, you go and tell your master."

"No way." The little monk waved his hands again and again, "Speaking is not allowed at the scene of offering sacrifices to the undead. Everyone on the island knows this rule." "Then your master often needs to offer sacrifices, so what should you do if something is urgent? You must have a way to communicate with him, right?" Meng Shaohui asked unwillingly. "Sometimes we use paper and pen to communicate. Anyway, you can't talk at the sacrifice site, otherwise you will be haunted by ghosts." The little monk stared, looking serious. But Meng Shaohui pestered him persistently: "Then you can go in and write a note to explain, it won't be too much trouble."

"No, no, no." The little monk had a frightened look on his face, "I'm not going to that place, especially at this time." "Then what should we do? You must not let us participate in the ceremony." Luo Fei saw that the young monk was timid and timid, so he simply bluffed him, "We all made appointments with your master, but we came a little late. Let us go in, your master will definitely not spare you when he turns around." Speaking of which, the little monk really hesitated, especially Luo Fei, he had met twice and knew that this man was a police officer, and even his master respected him, so if he offended him, it would be really difficult to explain.

The little monk asked nervously, "Are you really making an appointment with Master?" Luo Fei nodded, Meng Shaohui seemed not used to lying, and turned his face away in embarrassment. The little monk hesitated for a moment, and finally made a concession: "Well, you guys have a cup of Jingxin tea, and go in by yourself, anyway, I definitely won't go." "Pure Heart Tea? What is that?" Luo Fei and Meng Shaohui glanced at each other, but they didn't quite understand. "Those who go to the sacrificial site to participate in the ceremony must drink a cup of mind-cleaning tea first. Otherwise, your heart will not be pure and you will be easily confused by lonely souls and ghosts. My master and the others have drunk it. If you want to go in, you have to drink it first It will do the trick.” The little monk said as he walked to the table, then picked up a teapot on the table, and poured a cup of tea into each of the two empty cups.

Since it was an established rule, the two of them couldn't say anything more, so they stepped forward and each took a cup of tea.Luo Fei subconsciously supported the edge of the table with his left hand, but felt that his hand was wet. Looking down, he saw that there was a lot of tea on the edge of the table, and there was also a water stain on the ground below. "This kid, he was careless. He poured two cups of tea, but spilled so much." Luo Fei thought about it in his mind, but didn't say anything, and raised his hand to bring the teacup to his mouth. The color of the tea was slightly green, and it smelled lightly fragrant, but when you tasted it, it tasted extremely bitter.Luo Fei didn't like to drink tea originally, seeing that the water temperature was already cold, he simply swallowed it with his neck up, and didn't want to savor it carefully.

Meng Shaohui next to him also finished a cup of tea, then looked at Hui Tong: "Can we go in now?" "I have to write a note to you to explain the situation to Master." The little monk said while taking out a pen and paper, and after writing something, handed it to Luo Fei nearby. Luo Fei took a look at the dim oil lamp, and saw it said: Master, these two people said they made an appointment with you to participate in the sacrifice, so they insisted on going in.I have told them about the relevant matters, and let them drink Jingxin tea. The little monk pointed to the door leading to the back room: "Open the door yourself, and give the note to my master after entering."

The wooden door has been worn for a long time, and the surface has been mottled.Luo Fei put his hands on the door knocker, exerted a slight force, and with a slight strange sound of "Zhijia", the wooden door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dark world behind the door.The little monk shrank back subconsciously, with a look of surprise, as if something terrible would come out of the crack in the door. Luo Fei and Meng Shaohui walked into the back room and closed the door again.The light was cut off, and the entire back room was shrouded in darkness. The coffin parked in the center shimmered faintly, creating a strange atmosphere. The two groped forward in the dark, and after a while they came to the door leading to the tomb.After opening the door, the outdoor moonlight came in, and the light was brighter. In the desolate open space outside the house, three people sat on the ground facing the tall undead grave, with solemn and solemn postures.The one in the middle with a bald head and black clothes is Monk Deping, and Jin Zhenyu and Zang Junyong are sitting on both sides of him.Hearing the sound of the door, the three of them turned their heads at the same time, and looked at Luo Fei and Luo Fei with surprised eyes. Although Luo Fei didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but feel a little awe and depression in such an atmosphere.He stepped forward lightly, and first handed the note written by Huitong to Deping. Deping read the contents of the note under the moonlight, then raised his eyes to Luo Fei and the two.Suddenly he frowned, and his expression became very strange. Then, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, and his hands trembled.The note also slipped from between his fingers, wrapped in the mountain wind, and drifted leisurely towards the grave. Luo Fei didn't understand, and he couldn't open his mouth to ask. Just as he was confused, he saw Jin Zhenyu on the side also changed. His face was contorted, and his hands were pressed on his lower abdomen, looking extremely painful. Seeing this scene, Zang Junyong seemed to be unable to restrain himself, he stood up abruptly, ignoring the rules of sacrifice, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" Deping struggled to stand up: "First... help us out first..." Luo Fei and the others did not dare to delay, and supported Deping and Jin Zhenyu all the way to the front room.Hui Tong, who was waiting, saw this change, and asked in panic, "Master... you, what are you?" "Hurry up, hurry up and call... Doctor Li Dong!" Deping almost squeezed out these words with all his strength, and beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead.Jin Zhenyu also clenched his teeth, and it seemed that the situation was not much worse than him. Huitong listened to his master's instructions and rushed out the door in a hurry.Luo Fei regained his composure at this moment, looked at the symptoms of the two, and vaguely realized something, and said, "You guys have been poisoned, did you eat something? You have to vomit out the residue in your stomach first." !" This sentence reminded everyone, Jin Zhenyu immediately put his middle finger into his mouth, stimulating the base of the tongue at the throat, and after a while, he leaned his neck forward, opened his mouth wide, and spit out a pile of filth on the ground.Deping next to him also followed suit, Luo Fei didn't care about the dirty and unpleasant smell, squatted down and stroked his back to help him vomit. At this moment, Meng Shaohui suddenly covered his stomach, with a flustered look on his face, and said, "It's broken, I feel something is wrong." Luo Fei was about to ask, when suddenly he felt a colic in his stomach , suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and lost all strength. "We are all... all poisoned!" The tall and strong Zang Junyong also bent down in pain at this time. Luo Fei endured the pain, and anxiously urged everyone: "Hurry up, vomit up!" Before he could finish speaking, Meng Shaohui and Zang Junyong had already stretched their fingers into their mouths. After a while, the small room was full of vomiting. Five people vomited into one piece.
