My years as a corpse seamstress in the East Factory

Chapter 404

The island owner is waiting in front of the dry well.

"Lord Yang, I have descended this well many times. The bottom of the well is really big, but I have searched carefully every time, but I have not found anything." The island owner sometimes thinks, isn't it just a dream, even if it is the same dream? , can't explain anything.

In this dry well, there may be no corpses at all.

Yang Jiu smiled and said, "I'll go down and have a look."

"Master Yang, be careful." The island owner said.

Yang Jiu has already jumped into the dry well.

At the bottom of the dry well, there are many deep holes.

Those holes were dug by the island owner, and each one was very deep.

As the island owner said, the bottom of the well is huge, but if you look for it carefully, it won't take long.

Just by looking at those holes, one can tell that this nightmare has tortured the island owner enough.

The island owner didn't tell anyone about it because of saving face.

If people knew that the owner of Alcatraz Island was haunted by nightmares and made to look like a lunatic, then Alcatraz Island would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now.

Yang Jiu searched very carefully, but just like the island owner, he found nothing.

Coming out of the well, Yang Jiu just shook his head.

"Master Yang, it might really be just a nightmare." The island owner sighed.

Yang Jiu said with a smile: "I think that the guy who has been giving you dreams is the nine corpses I am looking for this time."

There are no other strange things on Alcatraz, especially about dead bodies.

Now there is a monk who has been dreaming of the island owner, begging the island owner to stitch his body up.

This is without a doubt the strangest thing.

"But there's nothing at the bottom of the well." The island owner was helpless.

Yang Jiu said: "Maybe we found the wrong place."

"Looked for the wrong place?" The island owner couldn't understand more and more.

Yang Jiudao: "In the dream, the body entrusted to the island owner was indeed in the well, but it probably wasn't this dry well."

"Although Alcatraz Island is not big, there are also many dry wells. I have to investigate them one by one, I'm afraid..." The island owner felt that this might be the only way left, but it would take a lot of time.

He knew that Yang Jiu must be in a hurry to return to Chang'an, and didn't want to stay long on Alcatraz Island.

If there is no shortcut to go, then you can only go slowly in a stupid way.

Yang Jiudao: "I'll figure out a solution for this matter. What the island master should do is to think carefully about the obstacles that may be faced if Alcatraz is to submit to the empire."

The island owner nodded, this matter really needs to be thought about carefully.

If he stood up and proposed that from now on, Alcatraz Island would no longer be a lawless place, but would become the territory of the Great Xia Empire, and the storm that would be caused would probably submerge Alcatraz Island.

Leaving the top of the mountain and returning to the inn, everyone was still awake.

Yang Jiu didn't feel sleepy at all, and said with a smile, "I will tell you in detail what you have heard, especially the strange things related to the well."

"Master Jiu, all the strange things we heard about were related to wells," Yinlian said.

People who have lived on the island for a long time will encounter some strange things more or less.

Yinlian and Mo Wu acted separately, and both heard a lot of stories about Gujing zombies.

There are similar legends almost everywhere in Alcatraz.

Sometimes someone heard crying in the middle of the night and found that the crying came from a well.

Some people saw corpses crawling out of dry wells when they were returning home.

Some people have seen similar scenes in their dreams, and they have had the same dream more than once.

When Yang Jiu heard about entering a dream, Yang Jiu was even more stunned.

It seems that the eminent monk was giving dreams to many people at the same time. This is called casting the net widely and catching more fish.

But because the island owner has a higher status and is well-informed, the eminent monk is mainly entrusting the island owner with dreams.

The island owner did work harder than the rest, but the result was similar to the rest.

Whether it was seeing ghosts, seeing zombies, or having nightmares, if all of these were related to the Nine Corpses, it could only show that the Nine Corpses were very powerful.

"Jiuye, this is the map of Alcatraz." When Xiao Kun appeared, he was holding the map of Alcatraz in his hand.

Yang Jiu marked all the places with weird legends on the map.

After connecting all the points, an approximate area of ​​intersection is formed, and this place is the top of the mountain.

It can be seen that the corpse should be on the top of the mountain, and it is no wonder that the island owner has more and more real nightmares.

If the body wasn't in that dry well, where else would it be?
What the island owner saw in his dream was the corpse in the well, and there was more than one well on the top of the mountain.

After sleeping that night, Yang Jiu took everyone up the mountain the next day.

The scenery on the top of the mountain is beautiful.

Standing on a high place, you can overlook the entire Alcatraz Island, and you can even see the endless sea.

"There are eight wells on the top of the mountain, three of them are dry wells, and only five are still producing water." The island owner frowned after hearing Yang Jiu's words.

Yang Jiu said: "Then we will thoroughly investigate all the wells, and we can always find clues."

Those wells that are still producing water are the water of life for all people living on the top of the mountain.

The island owner was reluctant to go down the well.

But Yang Jiu immediately pointed out that if the corpses were in those wells and they drank well water for a long time, there might be disasters.

Yang Jiu's words reminded the island owner of a trivial matter.

Even at the top of the mountain, there is a strict hierarchy.

The palace where the island owner lives, without the waist badge bestowed by the island owner, no one can approach, let alone enter.

The area a little closer to the palace is where the island owner's most trusted people live.

On the periphery, there are a group of selected masters whose task is to defend.

There are wells in each area, and it is naturally impossible for the island owner to share the same well with those guards. This is also to prevent someone from poisoning.

Those cronies who lived close to the palace, who lived a little longer on the top of the mountain, would suffer from headaches, prickly heat all over their bodies, and uncomfortably itchy.

After hearing this, Yang Jiu said: "Then let's check those wells first, I'm afraid there is a problem with the water in the wells."

In fact, there is one thing the island owner didn't say, that is, those people who had problems, although they worked hard after that, their skills did not improve.

Everyone was mocking, but when someone behind came to the top of the mountain, they would do the same.

It's normal to see no increase in skill after practicing. In the end, everyone didn't take this matter to heart.

But if the corpse is connected with the well water, the island owner also feels that there is a big problem.

In the area around the palace, there are a total of four wells, one of which is dry, and the remaining three wells still have a lot of water. People in the outer areas are short of water and often come to these wells to draw water.

Among the guards outside, some people also developed prickly heat.

Associating everything together, the island owner is now sure that the corpses are in those wells with water.

Everyone was shocked to learn that Dao mainly salvaged corpses in wells.

But they all prayed in their hearts, but they must not salvage any corpses.

You must know that they usually use well water, if a corpse is soaked in it, it would be too...disgusting.

Yang Jiu asked everyone to investigate the dry well first, but nothing was found.

The remaining three wells with water were checked one by one.

Although it will take more time, at least it will ensure that all the well water is not polluted.

Unexpectedly, no corpse was found in the three wells.

"Master Yang, this..." The island owner also looked helpless.

Yang Jiu frowned and asked, "Have you checked carefully?"

The people who went down the well were all wet. Even though Alcatraz Island was warm, it was severe winter after all, and those people were still shivering from the cold wind.

After hearing Yang Jiu's words, those people all showed displeasure.

Yang Jiu shook her head, she had no choice but to go down the well herself.

Jueqing and Gan Sisi also thought about it, but were rejected by Yang Jiu.

After all, they are women, with weak bones, and they are prone to get sick after being soaked.

Seeing Yang Jiu jumping down the well, those who went down the well were very depressed and looked at the island owner with doubts on their faces.

The island owner smiled and said, "I'm glad that Yin Jiu is willing to go down the well in person."

Everyone always found it strange that even if Yang Jiu was really good at sewing corpses, he shouldn't be treated with such high courtesy.

They feel that the island owner seems to be willing to listen to Yang Jiu in everything now, which is not a good sign.

After going down the well, Yang Jiu kept sinking into the water, searching carefully.

After finding two wells in succession, they found nothing.

Those who went down the well before all faced ridicule.

They firmly believe that they have searched carefully enough that they will never miss any clues.

After going down the third well, Yang Jiu immediately smelled a strange smell, like rancid, but with a faint fragrance, which was very strange.

There must be something wrong with this well.

But on closer inspection, it was no different from the previous wells.

Yang Jiu took a breath, sank into the water again, and found the borehole.

Near the borehole, the smell is strongest.

Yang Jiu thought about punching out, and with a muffled sound, everything around the borehole collapsed, revealing a small hole.

Yang Jiu continued to swing his fist, and the hole was big enough for him to pass through.

After entering, I found that there is a lot of space inside.

The well water of this well comes from this underground river.

If the well is drilled a little further to the left, a fountain is likely to burst out.

The rancid smell and fragrance here are very strong, Yang Jiu carefully identified and confirmed that the smell came from upstream.

Going up along the underground river, it came to the end very quickly. The end was blocked by a stone wall, and only the river at the bottom was very turbulent.

Behind that river, who knows what.

Intuition told Yang Jiu that the corpse haunting the ground was most likely the nine corpse.

Ordinary corpses don't have such a great ability.

Yang Jiu held her breath, plunged into the underground river, and passed through the small hole under the stone wall.

The space inside is much larger than he imagined.

Surrounded by all kinds of strange stone carvings.

Yang Jiu was familiar with the shapes of these stone carvings, most of them were beasts from hell that suppressed evil spirits.

And in the middle of all the stone carvings, there is a sarcophagus, which is very firmly bound by many iron chains, and is suspended vertically in the air.

The underground river flows slowly under the sarcophagus, and even formed a small pond beside it.

In the pond, snow-white lotus flowers are blooming, and the fragrance is tangy.

At the bottom of the sarcophagus, a viscous liquid was constantly dripping, emitting a rancid smell.

All the flavors matched.

The strangest thing here is the lotus pond, where the lotus can bloom so brightly.

This place is deep in the ground, there is no sunlight all year round, only some moss will grow, and the scene of lotus blooming is really unimaginable.

Looking at the ferocious stone carvings around, looking at the iron chains binding the coffin, and the red lines on the surface of the coffin, it all proves how fierce the corpse in the coffin is.

Yang Jiu cupped his fists towards the coffin and asked, "Master, but are you asking everyone for help?"

I also know that it is impossible to get a response.

Yang Jiu sighed, and showed the snow-drinking knife, intending to cut off those iron chains.

This place is very cloudy, and the corpse is strong, so the corpse in the coffin must be a large corpse.

Just like before, Yang Jiu also felt the existence of the Nine Corpses.

I have been in contact with the nine corpses a lot, and I can always be familiar with the breath of the nine corpses.

Click.

With one swing of the knife, an iron chain broke instantly.

The coffin, which was suspended in the air, shook violently and spilled more viscous liquid.

The smell is pungent.

At this moment, Yang Jiu was a little dazed. He thought that this knife would cut at least three iron chains, but in the end, only one was broken.

Yang Jiu swung the saber again, even if he concentrated his whole life's skill, he could only break one chain with a single saber.

When all the iron chains are cut off, I don't know how many knives have been fired.

Before the coffin fell to the ground, Yang Jiu swung his knife again to slow down the force of the impact.

The sarcophagus was not only wrapped in iron chains, but also densely wrapped with red threads.

Presumably it was not a red thread, but a silk thread soaked in blood.

Just destroying the iron chain made Yang Jiu's heart beat faster.

If these bloodlines were cut again, no one knew how terrible things would happen.

But this sarcophagus must be opened.

As long as you subdue the corpses inside, you may be able to complete the task of finding the Nine Corpses.

Now that the island owner has been successfully controlled, the next step is to help the island owner stabilize the Alcatraz Island, and perhaps deal with the Dongying people. There are a lot of things in front of him, and the ghost knows when he will be able to return to Chang'an City.

While thinking wildly, Yang Jiu has already slashed out with a single knife.

These bloodlines are naturally much more fragile than the iron chain, and all the bloodlines were cut off with one blow.

I thought that after the blood line was broken, the corpse in the coffin would overturn the lid and come out, but the sarcophagus was still standing on the ground, motionless.

"I didn't expect you to be so shy, so I had no choice but to invite you out in person." Yang Jiu said with another slash.

The knife light hit the coffin lid, and amidst the rumbling sound, the coffin lid turned to one side.

But in the sarcophagus, there stood a dead body, wearing cassock, with its head separated from the body, and its face was extremely kind.

Yang Jiu stepped forward to salute, and said, "Master, I'm so bothering you."

"The benefactor is so kind, I can't repay you." The monk's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yang Jiu has seen this kind of scene a lot, so it's not surprising, let alone afraid.

Yang Jiu said: "The junior is Yang Jiu who sews corpses. I don't know what to call senior?"

"I rub my hands with you, old man," said the monk.

Yang Jiu said with a smile: "This junior will take Master away from here."

"Before I leave, I would like to ask the benefactor for a favor." Yimo showed embarrassment.

Yang Jiu said: "Master, please tell me."

"Restore this coffin, and don't let that person know that the old monk has escaped from trouble." Yimo said.

It is easy to dismantle the sarcophagus, but it is really troublesome to restore it.

Fortunately, Yang Jiu is a corpse stitcher, very good at sewing.

But in the end, it took a lot of effort to restore this place.

After taking Yimo's body into the Nine Snakes' cave, Yang Jiu returned along the same route.

Everyone waiting outside the well felt that a long time had passed.

If it wasn't for the time Yang Jiu said, Jueqing and Gan Sisi would have gone down the well long ago.

When Yang Jiu came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sanggong, did you find it?" Rueqing looked at Yang Jiu and asked anxiously.

Gan Sisi said with a smile: "Let Jiulang take a bath first and change his clothes, it must be very uncomfortable to be wet."

"Sisi is still considerate." He smiled heartlessly.

Yang Jiu was taken away by the second daughter, which really envied the group of cronies around the island owner.

If a beauty like this could win the hearts of one person in this life, it would be burning high incense. Yang Jiu is just a corpse stitcher, so how can he accept two at the same time? It's really too much.
