Chapter 142 Bloodstained Soil
Cheng Feng didn't delay; he changed his clothes and went out with the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
On the way, Cheng Feng asked, "What exactly is the situation?"
"Boss, the construction team unearthed bones today while laying the foundation."
We originally planned to handle it ourselves, but there was a layer of blood and gore beneath these bones.
The brothers dared not make the decision on their own, so they informed you and your two wives.
After understanding the general situation, Cheng Feng quickened his pace.
It took the two of them more than ten minutes to walk out of the bustling street. When they reached the highway outside the city, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were already waiting for them.
There was also a truck parked next to it.
"Everyone's here, get on the bus!"
Chen Wenjin gave a signal, and Cheng Feng and Huo Ling followed and sat in the front of the car.
The remaining disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect climbed onto the carriage.
The land under Cheng Feng's name is about ten kilometers away from the city center, which is neither far nor near.
Half an hour later, the truck stopped in front of a construction site that was surrounded by a fence.
Han Qing opened the door and let the truck in.
After stopping inside the construction site, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin jumped out of the car.
"Chief, ladies!"
Han Qing stepped forward to greet them with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this familiar form of address, Chen Wenjin glanced at Huo Ling and noticed that Huo Ling's expression remained unchanged.
"My brothers have already told me about it. Let's go, take me to the scene."
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, Han Qing agreed.
Then he led the three of them into the construction site.
At this time, there were still tractors hauling earth parked around, and shovels, hammers and other miscellaneous items were scattered everywhere.
Several large mounds of earth obstructed the view, making it difficult to see what was inside.
After passing these mounds of earth, a square pit appeared in front of Cheng Feng and his companions.
Judging from the soil layer at the edge, it hasn't been compacted yet.
The area in the center of the pit was covered with stark white bones, among which the clearly shaped skulls proved that these remains were human.
"Han Qing, is news being blocked here?"
Chen Wenjin's expression was somewhat unpleasant. If the news got out, it might attract the attention of relevant departments.
Their base may have to be delayed for a long time before it can be built.
"Don't worry, Madam. I have already warned them that as long as they don't intend to die, I will not reveal the situation here."
Han Qing's tone was firm; he had paid a considerable price.
Not only did they give everyone enough money, but they also gave each person a bullet as a souvenir. If that's the case, why would anyone tell others?
Han Qing felt no guilt when he took action, and the others were speechless.
"It's good that the news has been kept under wraps. We also need to deal with this situation as soon as possible so as not to delay the project."
Chen Wenjin sighed inwardly once again, realizing how useful Cheng Feng's old subordinates were; each of them could be an absolute pillar of the organization on their own.
"Come on, go down and have a look."
As Cheng Feng spoke, he walked to the edge of the pit and then jumped down.
A height of six or seven meters is nothing to him.
Huo Ling and the others couldn't be so carefree; they had to carefully climb down, stepping on the edge.
In the end, the clothes were covered in dirt.
Once they reached the bottom, everyone moved to the center.
Here you can already see the dark red soil below, and you can also smell a strong stench of blood.
"There is something strange about this place. This blood has been buried underground for who knows how many years, yet it has not dried up."
Chen Wenjin squatted down and pinched some blood from under a skeleton.
Cheng Feng now understood the situation; the experience of generations of Mountain Moving Taoists was right there for him.
There are very few situations that Cheng Feng is completely unaware of.
"This is not pure blood; it is mixed with some special plants, making its properties similar to tar."
Chen Wenjin rubbed his fingers together and found that the blood had begun to congeal.
"It does look a bit like asphalt, but what's the purpose of this stuff?"
Cheng Feng did not respond immediately, but instead said to Han Qing:
"Have the brothers bring the digging tools. There should be a coffin down there. Let's dig it out first."
After receiving the order, Han Qing ran back to call for reinforcements.
Cheng Feng then explained:
"This is an unorthodox method of worship."
Those religious lunatics use this method to open a so-called passage to the divine kingdom after death.
There were countless evil cults in ancient times, and modern mental illnesses are child's play compared to them.
Let alone using human blood to create blood pools, there have been people who have done even more inhumane things.
"It seems I don't need to help with things here, so I'll go take care of other matters first."
At this moment, Huo Ling, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly spoke up.
Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin looked at her, and then Chen Wenjin said softly:
"Xiaoling, it's good that you go back and keep an eye on things. I'll leave the shop to you."
Hearing Chen Wenjin say this, Huo Ling, who had just turned to leave, stopped and turned back, saying with a forced smile:
"They're starting to assert their sovereignty now, so I'm not leaving."
Chen Wenjin slapped his forehead.
Is that what she meant? Women who are obsessed with love are so hard to deal with.
"Xiaoling, can you be normal? I really didn't mean that."
"I'm perfectly normal. Even if you're my own sister, don't expect me to follow in my mother's footsteps!"
Huo Ling issued a fierce challenge to fight.
Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng suddenly realized that this was a replica of Huo Xiangu and Wu Laogou.
No wonder Huo Ling's reaction was so strange.
At this moment, Han Qing arrived with more than a dozen of his men, and the two women stopped talking.
They all share a tacit understanding: they can argue about things behind closed doors, but they must remain united in public.
"Foreman, are you going to start digging now?"
Han Qing carried an entrenching tool; he was quite comfortable using it.
"Let's begin, dig downwards from the center of the blood pool."
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, the group stepped over the bones and arrived at the center of the blood-soaked soil, then began to dig downwards shovel by shovel.
As professional excavators, their speed is beyond question.
Soon, a disciple of the Unloading Ridge sect stood up and shouted:
"We've found a coffin!"
After he finished speaking, the other disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect quickened their pace, and a huge black coffin began to appear.
After sweeping away the surface layer of bloody soil, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect stepped aside to avoid blocking the view of Cheng Feng and his companions.
"This is a willow coffin, and the person inside is undoubtedly a heretic."
Chen Wenjin recognized the wood used for the coffin at a glance.
The reason the coffin is black is entirely due to the corrosion caused by the outer layer of blood and soil.
Cheng Feng stepped forward to the edge, and after calculating based on the placement of the coffin, he said:
"There's something else in the Seven Killings position. Search according to the Seven Killings position of the twelve two-hour periods. It shouldn't be too far from the coffin."
The so-called Seven Killings position originated from the Book of Changes and refers to seven independent stars. In Feng Shui, the Seven Killings position is considered extremely inauspicious.
The twelve two-hour periods correspond to the specific directions of the seven evil positions.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Seven Killings Star is located in the east.
From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the Seven Killings Star is located in the southeast.
Following this pattern, the next directions are due south, southwest, due west, northwest, and due north.
After receiving orders, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect began digging along these seven directions.
