Chapter 76 Eastern Shenmu
Waiting is undoubtedly a painful thing. After spending about an hour in this pain, a cry of exclamation came from the mouth of Xiaozhuo policeman.

"Wait, what is this?"

I didn't dare to hesitate, I walked over immediately, and looked along the place where his finger was, and I saw a white arm. The skin of the arm was intact, and there was a little dirt on it, especially where the nails were. in.

"Dig, keep digging down!" the Xiao Zhuo policeman shouted.

I hurriedly gave up, signaled him not to dig, and asked the Xiaozhuo police to get the body out.

The little Zhuo policeman called three or four policemen to come over, and they took a lot of trouble to get the body out. Before they could check it, someone shouted, "Look below."

All of us looked over immediately, and found that there was a black wooden board one meter long and half a meter wide under the place where the body was dug out just now. There was a circle with a diameter of three centimeters in the middle of the wooden board. Saw some clothing exposed.

With a thump in my heart, I immediately asked police officer Xiao Zhuo to remove the wooden board.

After the wooden board was removed, another corpse was exposed. This corpse was a woman. The decay of the corpse seemed to be worse than that of the corpse above, and there was a foul smell all over her body.

However, all this did not stop. Under the female corpse, there was another board, and under the board was another corpse.

Repeatedly, I don’t know how many corpses were dug out, but when we dug out the last one, the whole room was already full of corpses. Each is different.

Looking at the room full of corpses, all of us didn't speak, we were all shocked by the scene in front of us, no one thought that there would be so many corpses under this house.

What is even more strange is that the method of burial of this corpse is to adopt the pattern of stacking arhats, one on top of the other.

The Xiaozhuo policeman asked me with a trembling voice, "Chuanzi, is this a pattern?"

I didn't speak, mainly because I didn't know what was going on, so I checked the wooden boards separating the corpses.

After this investigation, my whole body trembled, pointing at those wooden boards and trembling, I hesitated for a long time, but I didn't hold back a word.

The little Zhuo policeman was also in a hurry, first he told me not to get excited, then brought me a bottle of water, and asked me to drink some water to calm down.

I took a sip of water, and I took a deep breath, just to calm myself down, and said: "This... this... these wooden boards are... yes... they are divine woods."

"What?" Police officer Xiaozhuo obviously didn't understand what I meant, so he asked me what was going on.

I didn't hide anything, so I said, "These are Oriental Shenmu, they have spirituality!"

The so-called Oriental Shenmu, strictly speaking, should be called gloomy wood. It has gone beyond the scope of wood and belongs to the category of "treasure". The economic value of a palm-sized gloomy wood is simply incalculable, at least six figures, or even Seven figures, once carved into handicrafts with this kind of wood, its economic value will be doubled.

The reason why gloomy wood is so expensive has a lot to do with the process of its formation.According to folklore, in ancient times, the thousand-year-old precious ancient trees in primeval forests were buried in riverbeds and under sand, and some were even buried in dark strata lacking oxygen due to sudden geographical changes. For thousands of years, or even longer, these ancient trees have been scoured by soil and crushed by mud and rocks, resulting in various shapes and postures.

After thousands of years of corrosion and good fortune by nature, these gloomy woods have both the elegance of wood and the charm of stone.

More importantly, these gloomy woods are treasures in the eyes of our ghost craftsmen. My brother once said that if you can make a Luban ruler out of gloomy woods, you will have no regrets in this life.

Unexpectedly, I saw so many gloomy trees here, and I was so excited that I couldn't express it in words.

At that moment, I touched the wooden board with trembling hands. When I touched it, my hands were warm, as if there was some kind of heat. I stared at the grain of the gloomy wood, and found that the grain of the gloomy wood was extremely clear. The whole texture presents a smooth and atmospheric feeling.

I took a deep breath. According to the "Mouth of Identifying Gloomy Wood", the body of the gloomy wood is like carbon black, with different colors. When it meets water, it turns black and bright, when it is painted with oil, it turns yellow when it burns.

I immediately broke off a piece of dark wood the size of a soybean, and asked Xiao Zhuo policeman to bring a basin of water. I put the dark wood into the water, and its color immediately became bright. I lit it with a lighter, and the burned wood ash was exactly yellow.

I immediately concluded that this must be gloomy wood.

Without any hesitation, I immediately checked the other wood boards. To my disappointment, although those wood boards were similar in color and luster to the dark wood, they were not real dark wood, but the more common windmill wood. This kind of windmill wood grows slowly and has a very strong wood. , high hardness, strong toughness, and dense structure. It is very different from gloomy wood in texture, but they have some similarities, that is, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

Although I am a little disappointed, the piece of gloomy wood that is one meter long and half a meter wide in front of me is already the biggest harvest.

But, then again, it's good to find gloomy wood, but what's the point of having so many corpses separated by wooden boards?

Furthermore, why did the gloomy wood appear here?

Did someone put it here on purpose, or did someone ignorant mix the gloomy wood with the windmill wood?

Personally, I believe in the former. After all, how could those businessmen nowadays mix the gloomy wood with the windmill wood.

If this is the case, then there is a problem.

What is the purpose of the person who put in the gloomy wood? Why did he put such an expensive gloomy wood with these corpses?
Also, what is the relationship between the new house of the three brothers of the Xu family and these corpses?
All of a sudden, countless mysteries were like a huge mountain, and I was a little out of breath.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, I put away the gloomy wood, handed it over to Police Officer Xiaozhuo, and said to him straightforwardly: "After the matter is done, I want this piece of wood."

Of course, I didn't hide it from him, and just told him the economic value of the gloomy wood.

After hearing this, he remained silent for a long time, probably thinking about it, and talked with some policemen next to him for a while, and finally he said: "Okay, the premise is that this matter must be resolved perfectly."

I hummed, let alone whether there is this gloomy wood, even if there is no such gloomy wood, I will continue to investigate this matter, the reason is very simple, I always feel that this matter may have something to do with me.

After agreeing on all this, the Xiaozhuo policeman gathered some remaining wooden boards and counted the corpses in the house. There were sixty corpses in total. The most complete corpse was the one we dug out earlier, and the last The corpse at the bottom, strictly speaking, is just a pile of bones.

After finding out all this, police officer Xiao Zhuo led a few policemen to the new house of Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu. Around afternoon, two corpses were dug up under the houses of Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu. The parents of the three brothers of the Xu family.

Some things are very evil to say, just after we dug up the corpses of the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family, the villagers of Nanmen Village recovered inexplicably. The whole thing felt like an endless abyss, and the more I dug down, the weirder it felt.
