There seemed to be some confusion in the village, because of the disturbance caused by Wu Xiajiu and others in the Buddhist hall, even Aunt Wang was not at home when they returned, and it seemed that they went to the Buddhist hall to check the situation.

"Well, what happened to the Buddhist hall?" Fang Zi asked impatiently as soon as he came back.

Tang Yunsi said in a deep voice what happened to them, and when he heard that there was a murder weapon under the desk in the main hall, Lu Nan frowned and said, "The murderer..."

Not to mention who the murderer is, Wu Xiajiu stroked his chin and said, "I looked back when I was running, those ghosts crowded at the door and didn't come out, they all looked quite young, could they be the youths and children who were missing in the village?" ?”

After finishing speaking, Wu Xia was stunned for a long time when he met Tang Yunsi and Xiao Yao's complicated eyes, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yunsi said with difficulty, "Those ghosts... crowded, squeezed at the door? Are they... looking at us?"

Wu Xiajiu nodded, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, I saw Tang Yunsi and Xiao Yao rubbing their arms together, Fang Zi also let out a sigh, but Lu Nan curiously asked what the group of ghosts looked like, and Wu Xiajiu gave him a detailed description one time.

Xiao Yao listened to him with a difficult face, then turned to Zhu Lanmeng and said, "Sister Meng, I want to move in and live with you." She no longer lives near the Buddhist hall, she won't be able to sleep!

Zhu Lanmeng nodded and said that he would go back with her to pack his luggage later.

Wu Xia said for a long time, "We've finished watching the Buddhist hall, but we haven't gone to the mountain to see it. We have to find out what is the connection between these two places, and why the people in the village guard these two places separately."

But Zhu Lanmeng said, "They have stricter guards on the mountain. There is still a chance for the Buddhist hall to take advantage of it, but there is only one way up the mountain. Those villagers will not leave all day, and there is no chance to go up."

Shi Shang said, "Then go at night."

"Night is indeed an opportunity. I don't think those villagers will come out at night." Wu Xiajiu nodded slowly.

"The villagers don't come out at night, but the ones who come out are not human. Are we going to confront them head-on?" Fang Zi said with a sad face.

Shi Shangzuo said, "No, we'll go on a rainy night."

It rained all night that night. Although it was cold, it was very calm. On the contrary, there were footsteps on the night when it was not raining.

Tang Yunsi and the others also understood that although Aunt Wang said that rain is not good, it is best not to go out when it rains, and other people in the village also look very disgusted with rain...but they couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Before nightfall, Aunt Wang came back with a very ugly face. For the first time, she looked at Wu Xiajiu and the others with disgust and suspicion. Only then did Aunt Wang look away, and replied lightly.

Seeing the back of Aunt Wang turning to cook, Fang Zi curled her lips and said in a low voice, "If she poisons the food, we will all be finished." That is to say, after the food is cooked, she eats it better than anyone else. fragrant.

The sky dimmed, and at nightfall, the temperature plummeted. Wu Xiajiu and the others looked at each other and understood that tonight was an opportunity.

Waiting for the light rain to start falling again, and when the village was extremely quiet, several figures gathered on the bluestone road.

"It's so cold, so cold, how can it be so cold?" Fang Zi hissed, wrapping his coat tightly, shivering from the cold.

Wu Xia was also cold for a long time, and there were gusts of coldness in his body. He frowned and stretched out his hand to catch the rain. He didn't understand why Aunt Wang said that the rain was not good, but the rain fell in his hands, and there was nothing but coldness. other feelings.

"Let's go." Shi Shangzuo was beside him, pulled back his hand, and put a candy in his palm.

Wu Xiajiu looked up at him, and while peeling off the candy wrapper, Shi Shangzuo was protecting him in his arms. Almost half of the rain fell on Shi Shangzuo's arm. Wu Xiajiu stuffed the candy into his mouth, it was so sweet.

Behind them, Zhu Lanmeng and Xiaoyao looked at their backs with complicated expressions. Their hair was wet by the rain, sticking strands to their faces. Coupled with the frozen pale complexion, it seemed like two nights Scary female ghost.

"What a man." Zhu Lanmeng and Xiao Yao looked at each other and sighed.

The ancient village at night is too quiet, except for the sound of raindrops, there is nothing else to be heard. The surrounding houses are dark, and the simple beauty in the daytime has turned into a frightening appearance. People dare not look more.

Fortunately, the journey was fairly calm, and we soon reached the only path up the mountain.

"It's here." Tang Yunsi said.

On the top of the bluestone steps is a winding path, the road is not wide, surrounded by strong trees, rustling under the rain.

A few people set foot on the path, and they walked for an unknown amount of time. The road was dark, and even the moonlight became stingy, and everything became more and more silent. If they hadn't listened to the breathing of their companions, they might have been unable to restrain their fear. Straight down the mountain.

"Front..." At this moment, Shi Shangzuo said.

The few people who were walking with their heads down looked up in an instant, and the end of the path suddenly became clear, but what made them stop in a daze, their eyes and mouths suddenly opened, was a giant tortoise lying in the center of a huge field. !

That is a picture of how to shock the eyeballs......

There is a huge open space in the forest, and right in the center of the open space, lies a huge tortoise, which is almost as high as a three-story building, with a thick shell and deep black, as if melting into the dark night However, because of the moonlight, it also reflects a hazy color, which is shocking and mysterious.

After walking in in a daze, they realized that the giant tortoise had its eyes closed and was lifeless. There were scars all over its shell and body.

"Come and see!"

At this moment, Lu Nan said in a deep voice, he was in front of the giant tortoise on the left, his eyes were wide open, staring at the giant tortoise's feet, a few people walked over to have a look, and unconsciously opened their eyes wide.

Because, under the left front foot of the giant tortoise, there is actually an iron coffin that is firmly stepped on. The coffin is huge, and it must have been rained for a long time, and it is covered with rust and mottled colors.

"Could this be the giant tortoise on the mural?" Wu Xiajiu murmured, reaching out to wipe the rain from his face.

Tang Yunsi and the others nodded subconsciously, "I think it is, then... Could it be that the coffin it is stepping on is the black mist of abstract painting?"

Shi Shangzuo looked unpredictable, "Ghost..."

As soon as the words were finished, the iron coffin trembled violently, but before a few people could react, a hazy golden light flashed on the thick tortoise shell very quickly, under the golden light, the iron coffin returned to silence again , silently at the feet of the giant tortoise.

The few people suddenly fell silent, and looked up at the turtle shell. They hadn't checked it carefully before, but now under the bright moonlight, they saw that besides the deep and hideous scars, there were also countless mysterious characters carved on the turtle shell. The scars are much more obvious than the scars, if you don't observe carefully, you really have to ignore them.

"This is in Sanskrit." Zhu Lanmeng stretched out her hand as if to feel for the turtle shell, but finally stopped on top of it.

Several people looked at each other, and at the same time thought of the kindly looking Buddha, and the giant tortoise that only saw the Buddha but disappeared in the last mural.

"It turned out that this giant tortoise suppressed it..." Thinking of the movement of the iron coffin just now, Tang Yunsi swallowed his words.

"The situation seems a bit bad." Wu Xiajiu murmured at this moment, "No wonder Aunt Wang said that the rain is not good, so it is like this..."

"What?" Tang Yunsi and others asked in confusion.

"Look." Wu Xiajiu pointed at the tortoise shell with a solemn expression. There was a Sanskrit sentence under his hand. Everyone was puzzled at first, and then their expressions changed.

The rainwater kept dripping on the turtle shell, washing away the scars and Sanskrit characters on it. Under the watchful eyes of several people, the scars remained unchanged, but the Sanskrit characters seemed to have lost their pen and ink, gradually disappearing stroke by stroke.

It was not an illusion, Wu Xiajiu stretched out his hand to wipe the Sanskrit, brushed it with his palm, but the Sanskrit was still good.

"Sanskrit is engraved on the turtle shell, not written on it."

So... there is really a problem with this rain. If it continues like this, one day Sanskrit will disappear completely, and the coffin that was crushed under the feet of the giant tortoise...

Wu Xiajiu looked up at the top of the turtle shell. The turtle was too high. He couldn't see the situation above, and he didn't know if the Sanskrit on it had completely disappeared, although there seemed to be many Sanskrit on the bottom.

The impact that night was too great, everyone's bodies had already been frozen stiff, and they might not be able to bear it if they didn't leave, so they hurried down the mountain before dawn, and carefully cleaned up the traces of going out.

However, what they didn't know was that when they turned around and went down the path, a small head slowly emerged from the top of the giant tortoise's shell. When they disappeared, they slowly shrank back.

Early the next morning, several people got up late, yawned and ate breakfast, then got together and didn't go out.

Professor Zhou took a piece of paper and recorded the clues they found in the past few days, such as Buddhist halls, memorial tablets, murder weapons, giant turtles, etc...

"How did you say that such a big giant tortoise appeared, or has it always been in that mountain forest?" Fang Zi asked, yawning.

"Who knows, but I feel that the source of all this is caused by that coffin." Xiao Yao clicked on the paper.

"You mean the dead people?" Lu Nan frowned, "But if the dead people were killed by that..., what about the murder weapon under the counter?"

Shi Shangzuo said lightly, "If fear spreads, it will eventually lead to mutual suspicion, and finding a solution... is a road of no return."

Fang Zi had a hard-to-explain expression on his face, and gestured on his neck with his hand, "So those people were really given by the people in the village..."

For a while, everyone was silent, but Wu Xiajiu suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait! That coffin was still under the giant tortoise's feet. If someone was killed by... at the beginning, what about now?" , Is there still something there?"

Xiao Yao swallowed hard, and said with a stiff smile, "Ha, ha, so the giant tortoise is not tightly pressed, did you let it escape a bit?"

Everyone was silent, thinking that there was something waiting for an opportunity to spy in the dark, and their hairs stood on end.

After a while, Wu Xiajiu said, "So, is our ticket on the mountain or in the Buddhist hall..."
