Chapter 241 Discovery

Just as Yang Guo lay down on the roof, the door below was already opened.

He carefully poked his head out to look, and saw that there were already two more people in the yard below.

A man in a red robe was walking steadily forward, half a step behind him, another man in a sapphire blue brocade suit followed with a slight bow.

Since both of them turned their backs to Yang Guo, he couldn't see their faces.

However, when the two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard and turned a corner, they finally revealed most of their faces.

The man in red was wearing a yaksha mask, which completely covered his face, and only his exposed eyes showed a fierce and sinister look; in contrast, the man in blue had a handsome face , showing a refined and unrestrained attitude.

Yang Guo thought of the man in red wearing a coiled snake mask that he met in the inn, his attire was very similar to the man in red in front of him, so he wanted to find out the situation with the past.

But now that Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang were still trapped in the cell, he could only suppress this impulse, and after Gongsun Zhi and the Venerable were far away, he jumped off the roof and entered the room.

The space in the room is very spacious. At the north end is a large carved wooden bed, half covered with a white veil; next to it is a dressing table with a large bronze mirror; in the middle is a A set of pear wood tables and chairs, and a cup of tea on the table is still steaming.

On the Nanshou side, a large painting of clouds and birds is hung on the wall, with a soft couch and a coffee table underneath.

Beside the east wall is a large black wooden cabinet. There are rows and rows of half-foot-sized hidden drawers on the wooden cabinet. There are hundreds of them, some of which look like cabinets for storing medicinal materials in a pharmacy.

After Yang Guo searched in other places, he came to the wooden cabinet.

Since there were only numbers on these drawers as marks, he didn't know what the meaning was, so he pulled out the drawers one by one. Do a search.

The movements of his hands were extremely fast, and in just a moment, he checked hundreds of hidden drawers. In the end, more than ten keys were found.

He was not sure whether these keys could open the iron door of the cell, but since Gongsun Zhi had placed so many keys in the wooden cabinet. There is no reason to deliberately put the key to the iron door of the cell elsewhere.

He checked the inside of the room again, and restored the place he had rummaged through. He estimated that Gongsun Zhi would be back soon, so he exited the door.

Before he could leave the yard, footsteps sounded outside the yard.

Yang Guo didn't dare go up to the roof to hide this time, because when he jumped, the shadow cast by the light would be cast on the opposite side, and Gongsun Zhi would easily spot him.

He turned around quickly. Seeing a small archway to the south, which seemed to lead to the backyard, he rushed over and hid inside.

Here is another yard, but it is much smaller than the outside yard, with only three stone houses inside.

Yang Guo was about to jump up to the roof and leave, but he smelled a faint smell of blood in his nose, he couldn't help but frowned, followed the smell of blood to a stone house on the side.

The door of the stone house was locked and the windows were sealed from the inside. Can't see what's inside.

He was about to break the window to check, but he heard footsteps coming this way again.

Yang Guo sighed, he also wanted to see the situation in the house. He didn't want to leave here, so he had to look for a place to hide again.

There was a big tree against the wall on the northeast side of the courtyard, which happened to be in a dark corner, so he rushed over and hid in the tree.

At this time Gongsun Zhi had also arrived in the backyard, without stopping, he went directly to the stone house that Yang Guo had just left, took out a key from his body, and opened the door. walked in.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of blood in Yang Guo's nose became stronger. Can't help turning his head to see the situation in the stone house.

But his position was too far away from the stone house, so he couldn't see it.

He was thinking that there might be nothing to gain at this moment. In his ears, he heard Gongsunzhi talking to himself in the room.

"If I hadn't been conspired to get the 'heart-eating Gu' by you, why would I, Gongsun

Zhi, be at your mercy?" But the medicine can't be refined. I wanted to try it with five hundred years of Ganoderma lucidum, but I didn't want it to be stolen. Could it be that God really wants to kill me?"

"Since the main medicine is gone, I left this medicine to attract What's the use?" The

voice disappeared, and Gongsun Zhi walked out with a shovel, and then walked straight towards the big tree where Yang Guo was hiding.

Yang Guo couldn't help but shudder in his heart,

He hurriedly performed his breath-holding kung fu without revealing a single sound.

But even so, he was still a little uneasy, because as long as Gongsun Zhi looked up carefully, he would definitely find someone on the tree.

In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Zhi had arrived under the tree.

Fortunately, the tree was tall enough, and Gongsun Zhi didn't expect that there would be someone hiding in the tree. He just looked up for a second, then lowered his head and started digging soil under the tree.

Seeing this, Yang Guo guessed Gongsun Zhi's purpose, what he wanted to bury.

After a while, Gongsun Zhi dug a deep pit about a foot in size, then he put down the shovel and returned to the stone house.

When Gongsun Zhi came out again, he already had an extra wooden box in his hand. He came under the tree again, threw the wooden box in his hand into the deep pit, and then shoveled the soil with a shovel, and buried the deep pit again.

After finishing all this, Gongsun Zhi stepped on the pit with his feet, put the shovel back into the stone house, closed the door, and left the backyard.

Yang Guo jumped down from the big tree, thought for a while, and came to the stone house again.

He saw that Gongsun Zhi hadn't locked the door just now, so he wanted to take out the shovel, dig out the wooden box, and see what was inside.

As expected, the iron gate was only a cover. After entering, although you could still smell the smell of blood, most of it had dissipated. If you didn't smell it carefully, you wouldn't feel anything unusual.

The stone house was empty, except for a shovel and a small table, there was nothing there.

Yang Guo just glanced at it, took the shovel and went back under the tree.

The soil just filled in was still soft, UU reading www.uukanshu.com he dug the wooden box with almost no effort.

Holding the wooden box in his hand, the bloody smell became even stronger.

He opened the wooden box carefully, and was surprised to see that there were actually two dark red hearts in full bloom.

The wooden box might have been filled with ice cubes, but now it has melted into water, soaking the two hearts in it.

Yang Guo couldn't tell whether it was a human heart or an animal heart, so he quickly closed the wooden box, put it in the pit, and buried it with soil again.

Putting the shovel back to its original position and closing the door of the stone room, he left the courtyard with a somewhat ugly face.

If those two hearts belonged to animals, Gongsun Zhi didn't need to be so careful, most likely they were taken from humans.

Judging from the smell of blood, the two hearts could only come from living people.
