Chapter 403: The Sarcophagus(1/2)

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

"Master Yang, I have descended into this well many times. The bottom of the well is indeed very big, but I searched carefully every time, but found nothing." The island owner sometimes thinks that it is just a dream, even if it is the same dream.

, it doesn’t explain anything.

There may not be any corpses in this dry well.

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

"Master Yang, please be careful," the island owner said.

Yang Jiu had 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 very large, but if you search carefully, it won't take long.

Just looking at those holes, you can tell that this nightmare has tortured the island owner very much.

The island owner didn't tell anyone about this, just to save face.

If people knew that the owner of Alcatraz Island was haunted by nightmares and was driven like a madman, Alcatraz Island would definitely not be as peaceful as it is now.

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

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

"Master Yang, maybe it's just a nightmare." The island owner sighed.

Yang Jiu smiled and said: "I think 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 Island, especially strange things about corpses.

Now there is a monk who has been giving dreams to the island owner, asking the island owner to help sew up his body.

This is undoubtedly the weirdest thing.

"But there is nothing at the bottom of the well." The island owner looked helpless.

Yang Jiu said: "Maybe we are looking in the wrong place."

"Looking in the wrong place?" The island owner became increasingly confused.

Yang Jiu said: "In the dream, the corpse that was entrusted to the island owner was indeed in the well, but it was probably not this dry well."

"Although Alcatraz Island is not big, there are also many dry wells. We need to check them one by one. I'm afraid..." The island owner felt that this might be the only way left, but it is more time-consuming.

He knew that Yang Jiu must be eager to return to Chang'an and did not want to stay on Alcatraz Island for a long time.

If there is no shortcut, then you can only go slow and stupid.

Yang Jiu said: "I will think of a solution for this matter. What the island leader needs to do is to think carefully about the obstacles that may be faced if Alcatraz Island 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 resulting storm would probably flood Alcatraz Island.

After leaving the top of the mountain and returning to the inn, everyone was still asleep.

Yang Jiu didn't feel sleepy at all, and said with a smile: "Tell me again the information you heard in detail, especially the strange things related to the well."

Both Android and Apple are available.]

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

People who live on the island for a long time will encounter some weird things more or less.

Anemone and Mo Wu moved separately, and both heard many stories about the zombies in Gujing.

Almost everywhere inhabited by people, there are similar legends about Alcatraz.

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

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

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

When he heard about falling into a dream, Yang Jiu was even more stunned.

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

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

The island owner did work harder than the others, but the results were similar to the others.

Whether you saw a ghost, a zombie, or a nightmare, if all of this is related to the nine corpses, it can only mean that the nine corpses are very powerful.

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

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

After connecting all the points, a rough 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. It is no wonder that the island owner has more nightmares and they are more real.

If the body was not under that dry well, where else would it be?

What the island owner saw in his dream was that the corpse was in the well. There were more than just that 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 breathtaking.

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

"There are a total of eight wells on the top of the mountain, three of which are dry wells, and only five of which are still producing water." The island owner frowned and said 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 life water for everyone living on the top of the mountain.

The island owner was reluctant to go down the well.

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

Yang Jiu's words reminded the island owner of an inconspicuous thing.

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

No one is allowed to approach the palace where the island owner lives, let alone enter, without a waistband personally given by the island owner.

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

On the periphery, there are a group of experts selected, and their task is to defend.

There are wells in each area. Naturally, the island owner cannot share the same well with the guards. This is also to prevent someone from poisoning.

Those close friends who live close to the palace will suffer from headaches, brain fever, prickly heat all over their bodies, and uncomfortable itching if they live on the top of the mountain for a little longer.

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

In fact, there is one thing that the island owner did not mention, that is, those who had problems, although they practiced diligently, their skills did not improve.

Everyone is mocking, but when someone comes to the top of the mountain later, they will do the same.

It is actually normal to see no increase in skill during practice. In the end, no one took it to heart.

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

There are a total of four wells in the area around the palace, one of which is dry, and the other three wells still have plenty of water. People in the outer areas are more nervous about water, so they often come to these wells to fetch water.

Some of the guards outside also had prickly heat.

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

Everyone was shocked when they learned that the island master was recovering bodies from the well.

But they all prayed in their hearts that no bodies would be recovered.

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

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

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

Although it will take more time, at least it will ensure that all well water will not be contaminated.

Unexpectedly, no bodies were found in the three wells.

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

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

Those people who went down the well were all wet. Even though the climate of Alcatraz Island was warm, it was still 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 his head. He had no choice but to go into the well himself.

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

After all, they are women and have weak bodies. They are prone to getting sick when their bodies get wet.
