Murder

The fifth or top floor is much smaller than the fourth.There is nothing scarier than the fourth floor above, and as far as the eye can see, it is empty.

It seemed to be completely dark outside, and Chi Yebai could not rely on the light from the outside world, so he could only observe with his own eyesight.He soon saw a small table on the empty ground.

The table is square and square, with four legs, firmly placed on the bones.There are two residual candles stuck to it.

Chi Yebai sniffed them carefully, and after confirming that they were just ordinary candles, he rubbed the wicks of the candles with his fingers and lit them.

The dim yellow light was still warm and bright, and immediately dispelled the large darkness.Chi Yebai looked around, and finally set his eyes on the table.

There is a small black wooden box on the table, the same color as the table, if there is no candlelight, I am afraid that it will not be seen.He weighed the wooden box and found that there was no mechanism inside, but there was a heavy object.Chi Yebai opened the wooden box, and the items inside were immediately illuminated by candlelight.

It was a warm white jade bracelet with a twisted black thread on it.

He was quite surprised: this was mentioned by Sima Feng many times, the bracelet on Wen Xuanzhou's hand

When I saw Wen Xuanzhou in the Dongcai market in Shifang City that day, Chi Yebai really didn't notice that he had this thing in his hand.The bracelet was placed in a wooden box, and there was a thin layer of dust on the wooden box, as if it had been placed here for a while.

It is said that no one can enter the bone village, Wen Xuanzhou has been there before.

Chi Yebai was in doubt.The bracelet was placed here in this state, and Wen Xuanzhou did not accidentally lose it.Why did he put it here?What is he doing in Guzhai?

He immediately remembered that the bone village itself was one of the contents taught in the Condor Camp: this kind of trap was deliberately designed to confuse and trap opponents, and then torture them.Chi Yebai put down the bracelet, his heart pounding.

Wen Xuanzhou's target is him?But how could he know that he would come here?

Chi Yebai grabbed a candle and held it in his hand.He just wants to leave now, and doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Holding a candle, he approached the fifth-floor wall, and suddenly found that in the light of the candle, he could faintly see vague words floating on the bones on the wall.

"... On a certain day in the month, a woman gave birth to a child in a certain village. The head of the child was as hard as a stone and the eyes were like a copper bell..."

"...a beast body, a human face, big ears, and two green snakes..."

"... Trying to use 12 people to break the grass bandit number for no reason, tens of thousands, and the Longmen battle exhausted a room of arrows..."

"...Breaking the wall with qi first practice his sword and then break it with qi..."

"...Shaped like a pheasant with a long tail as red as red fire and a green beak..."

Chi Yebai instantly recognized where the chaotic words and sentences in front of him came from, but because different sources and different types of content were chaotically mixed together, the grammar was unclear and the semantics were confused, he felt incredible after only one pass.Holding the candle closer, he couldn't help reading it carefully.

This sentence should be after that one, and that sentence is cut off in the middle... too much and too confusing.

It was as if the words and content in all kinds of books were crushed sentence by sentence, and then thrown randomly on the wall. He kept identifying, analyzing, and putting them together, completely involuntarily immersed in them.

The wax dripped on the back of his hand, and he felt no pain.

The candlelight gradually dimmed.The words in front of him seemed to float up from the pale bones, shouting at him and jumping around him.

"Can it be done?" Someone behind him asked softly, "Can you tell them all apart?"

Chi Yebai thought it was possible, of course I could.

As soon as this idea appeared, he was shocked.

There is no one behind.And the voice that spoke just now was so familiar, it was the voice of his memory of Xuanzhou in Chinese.

The words on the bones all returned to their original places, everything was quiet and there was nothing weird about it.

Chi Yebai stood blankly holding a candle, only to feel that all the content around him was overwhelmingly pressing down on him.

When the water is full, it overflows.He suddenly remembered the sentence written in the Shenying policy booklet.

He immediately blew out the candle and put himself back into the darkness.

At this time, outside the bone village, Tang Ou and the others lit the torches in their hands.

Everyone has already looked around the bone village, and pulled down all the branches that could be pulled down.But no one found the entrance to the Bones Village.

"There must be! He said just now that it's on the second floor, or the third or fourth floor." Sima Feng stood on the top of the village and said, "Look for it... I'll take a look."

"Even if there is, you definitely won't be able to find it." Qing Yuanzi didn't follow them to look for it, and lay down on a thick branch to eat fruit. "I stayed here for more than a month, and I still haven't found any entrance."

Since he left the island, he has been playing around on land.Because he was old and hadn't come out for a long time, and he was not very famous before, Qing Yuanzi ate, drank and had fun all the way, but no one recognized him.He didn't look for Chi Yebai and the others, and he didn't even enter Pengyang City on purpose, he could go wherever he wanted.

He came to this valley a month ago.The valley where Jiezilou is located is the largest one, because it is completely occupied by Jiezilou, there is really nothing to do, Qing Yuanzi put his attention on the more exotic places around him, climbing rocks and walls, catching snakes and amusing birds. It's fun, I almost have to fiddle with a new exercise.

"Then what should I do?" Song Beiyan was extremely anxious, "It's all my fault..."

"Don't talk!" Sima Feng said angrily, finishing his 260th self-condemnation.

Song Beiyan didn't dare to speak out.Tang Ou and Shen Guangming had been struggling to pull the weeds and branches, and when they reached the top, they suddenly caught a glimpse of some light inside.

The walls of Gu Gu Zhai had more than one layer of bones, and the light was zigzagging, and it was not strong at all. Shen Guangming leaned on the wall and opened his eyes to look. "Tang Ou, is that...candlelight?"

Tang Ou looked at it for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. Sima, come here!"

Sima Feng was still studying the place where Chi Yebai fell into, and immediately rushed to Tang Ou's side after hearing the words.

But the candlelight was gone, and no more light leaked out.

"Chi Yebai may be on this floor. Shen Guangming and I just saw some light." Tang Ou said calmly, "Since he can come here from below, it means there is no major problem. There is no sound in the village, it seems that he can't hear When we talk, we can't hear him."

Sima Feng was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's strange... After Xiaobai fell in, we immediately went up to look for the entrance and called him. It's impossible that he didn't hear him at all."

"It means that the sound insulation in this place is very good." Shen Guangming said curiously, "What's so strange about this?"

"That's even more strange." Sima Feng said, "Who said that there was a sound of a beast in the bone village?"

Everyone was taken aback.Song Beiyan and Shen Guangming looked at each other: "The people in Jiezilou said it."

"Who did they listen to?"

"...Hunter." Tang Ou frowned.Before they set off, the people in Jiezilou told them that a hunter from a nearby village had mentioned that there were ferocious beasts in the Guzhai Village, and they could hear strange roars in the village.

Sima Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What hunter? Which hunter?"

Qing Yuanzi turned over from the branch and sat up: "There has been no hunter in the past month."

"Where are the others?" Sima Feng asked.

"Occasionally there will be mountain people passing by, but they usually don't enter here. It's not easy to go here." Seeing his anxious eyes, Qing Yuanzi rarely comforted him, "Don't worry, my disciple is such a big man, isn't it Will something else happen?"

"This time is different..."

"Many people who practice martial arts often suddenly comprehend new kung fu in such an isolated and helpless situation." Qing Yuanzi continued, "Ah, you may not have heard of it, my senior brother has a trick The infallible method of defeating the enemy is called Qianqiu Nail..."

Shen Guangming loves to listen to stories, so he couldn't help pricking up his ears when he heard the words, and nodded while listening: "Tang Ou, this old man makes a lot of sense."

Tang Ou stared at him, he immediately lowered his head and continued to pull weeds vigorously.

Seeing that no one was listening to him, Qing Yuanzi babbled for a while, then fell silent again.

He lay crookedly on the branch and ate the last fruit in his hand.The other four people are still looking around the bone village.The bone village is really big, supported by stone beams. Shen Guangming and Song Beiyan's kung fu is still not good enough. Only Tang Ou and Sima Feng use light kung fu to go around the back of the village to check.

Sima Feng looked around again, suppressing his impatience: "If you can't find it again, just smash it open."

"It's not that easy to smash." Tang Ou vetoed his proposal, "The place where he fell is a mechanism. I don't know if there are other tricks in it. If you do it rashly, it may cause other problems."

"Isn't the current problem serious enough?" Sima Feng became irritable again, "He's gone!"

"He's not Shen Guangming, nor Xiao Song, he's Chi Yebai." Tang Ou raised his voice slightly, "I think that old gentleman is right, it's inappropriate for you to protect him like a child of."

Sima Feng was at a loss for words for a while, but finally calmed down slowly.

Tang Ou and Qing Yuanzi didn't know that Chi Yebai had seen Shenying Ce's stuff before, so they didn't understand what Sima Feng was worried about.During the time in Shaoyi League, Chi Yebai never turned off the lights.The darkness can easily remind him of some bad things, and they will plunge Chi Yebai into confusion and frenzy.Sima Feng talked and ate wine with him, lit the lamp and waited for him to fall asleep before leaving.

Now the village is pitch black, and he feels uneasy.

Jumping down from the stockade, Sima Feng stood behind the bone stockade, staring at the indifferent and strange building in front of him.

The stone beam had come to an end here, and he was standing at the end, the wind blowing from the bottom of the deep valley shook the hem of his clothes.

"Tang Ou, Senior Qing Yuanzi." Sima Feng said suddenly, "Where's the bottom? We haven't seen the bottom of the stone beam yet."
