32. The solution to the door of death

I smiled at Xue Wei, and the enthusiasm for analysis appeared in my eyes: "In the whole narrative, every sentence actually has keywords, and these keywords have corresponding. ”

"What do you say?" Chen Yu stuffed a piece of persimmon cake into his mouth, with an incomprehensible expression.

I saw that his mouth was bulging, and I knew that he would forget to think when he had eaten, so I smiled bitterly and patiently explained: "White jade" corresponds to "greed" Imagine the scene at that time, after those islanders gave the outsider a piece of white jade, the person who obtained the white jade became greedy, he brought people to the island, those people forced the islanders to tell the secret of immortality, everyone kept their mouths shut, and finally slaughtered, the ghost of the dead islanders could not rest, in which the narration of this passage The ghost of the son of the man wandered, and told the dead old father about the pain of hatred, and the greedy people did not get the secret of immortality, so they wanted to take away the valuable things of the islanders, maybe in it, they had an unexpected harvest……”

Xue Wei took my words: "The 'Door of Death' and the 'Ghost' behind it may represent a certain ancient tomb, and the 'old man' who came out of the Gate of Death saw the tragic scene on the island, and the flame of revenge ignited in his heart, and this hatred has been circulating......"

Xue Wei and I looked at each other, for the answer I conceived, I thought it was very reasonable, but Baocai and Chen Yu disagreed, they said that I had to interpret a nursery rhyme to a new level, things may not be as complicated as we thought, "Death's Gate" may be a metaphor, which means that the gang of villains who landed on the island got evil retribution because of greed, and those who died could not rest in peace and began to do evil in the world, and the tragic death of those officers and soldiers stemmed from those evil ghosts.

The two different theories came out, and although I felt that my idea was more realistic, it was just my inference, and there was no evidence, so everyone was thinking to themselves at this moment.

After a long time, Xue Wei frowned, raised his head and asked: "There is another question, if it is the evil ghost who is doing retribution in the world, why did he enter the maze forest, those officers and soldiers were either killed or committed suicide, but Shui Fangling and I had nothing to do?"

There was a strange smell in the air, Bao Cai frowned, and said casually: "Maybe it depends on character!" He glanced at Chen Yu with a mocking gaze, and teased: "It's like Chen Fatzi, what cards are drawn when playing games, what cards are drawn, and the ones drawn are always the worst, and the poor character is the result. ”

"Stinky monkey, your mouth is becoming more and more dishonest, which pot you don't open and which pot you don't mention!" As he spoke, Chen Yu wrapped his arm around Baocai's neck.

I ignored the quarrel between the two, drank my sip of water, and sorted out my thoughts, but then I thought of something, so that the two who were fighting quietly quieted down, Baocai and Chen Yu looked at me and asked me what I found again?

I was a little excited: "What Baocai said depends on character, and it may really look at character." ”

"Huh?" "Treasure surprise, I will agree with his nonsense.

Chen Yu thought that I was helping Baocai make fun of him, and was about to yell at me, so I hurriedly raised my hand and explained, "Don't be impatient, I have a basis." Do you remember what Xue Wei said about the division of officers and soldiers into two factions?"

"You mean young officers and older officers?" Xue Wei looked at me.

I nodded: "As you said, when the officer and soldier at the head saw those hanged corpses, they began to talk nonsense. ”

Xue Wei thought for a moment and said, "That person seems to have been stimulated by something, and he kept denying the fact of killing, saying that the killing was instigated by others, not out of his original intention. ”

When he said this, the fog of doubt in his heart was cleared a little more, and I said confidently: "You said earlier that the forest is the only way to go to Watergate Village, and the officers and soldiers followed you in, which means that they are not familiar with the suicide forest, so the hanged people in it should have nothing to do with them, and it doesn't matter, why would the officers and soldiers led by him say such things after seeing the dead people?" I glanced at the three of them with a hung appetite, and before they realized it, I continued: " That means he's done murder. Shui Fangling also said that her mother and family members were hanged by those officers and soldiers. ”

Xue Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right, Shui Fangling also told me afterwards that it was the vicious older officers and soldiers who hanged his mother, but what does this have to do with the evil ghosts of the Suicide Forest?"

I smiled indifferently: "The mutation is not just a coincidence, if the evil retribution in that statement is really there, then that is to say, the evil retribution may be aimed at those who have made mistakes. I think those older officers and soldiers have done a lot of dirty things with that magistrate, and the younger ones have just entered the industry and may not have been involved in it, so there is no change, and you and Shui Fangling are also innocent......"

Xue Wei took a deep breath and began to weigh my words.

Chen Yu, who has always disagreed with my point of view, showed a skeptical look, "Ha, this evil retribution is still divided?"

I said, "Haven't you heard that evil is rewarded?"

Chen Yu said disapprehantly: "I've heard it, but how can it be so accurate, and it's not a screening machine." ”

Baocai took over: "Pig brain, I told you a long time ago that there are evil retributions in the world, just like hell has eighteen layers, each layer is aimed at people who have made different mistakes......"

"You're here to promote your weird theories again!" Chen Yu clamped Baocai's neck.

Baocai twisted the back of his hand and shouted angrily: "Let go of your hand, otherwise I will curse you later, and curse you to squat in the pit and not get up!"

Chen Yu listened to Baocai's warning, and became even more vigorous, he wrapped his arms around Baocai's neck, showed an indignant look, and warned: "I'll tell you, next time you want to mention the matter of my back, I'll throw you on the island and have a party with those ghosts!"

I heard his jokes, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I sat up with a "bang", Baocai and Chen Yu were startled by me, and their hands still maintained a slapstick movement, Xue Wei behaved lightly, but there was confusion in his eyes, and he asked me: "Liuzi, what's wrong?"

I remembered the five silk silks I had gotten earlier, and muttered, "Immortal Island, Immortal Island...... After talking about it for a long time, we didn't even realize this!"

"Immortal Island?" Baocai read after me, and then suddenly shouted: "Oh mom, do you mean to say that this immortal island is the immortal island we are going to find!"

Xue Wei was puzzled, "The immortal island you are going to?"

I sat back on the cloth cushion and nodded as if I had discovered a new continent: "That's right, we told you before, I entered my ancestors' Golden Gate, and this time the mission is to find a tomb, I didn't say it carefully just now, from the news from the spies, the tomb we are looking for is on an immortal island, and to go to that immortal island, we must pass through Watergate Village, that is to say, our destination is not Watergate Village at all, but on the sea." ”

"That's right!" Chen Yu was also surprised, he let go of the treasure and sat next to me, "The 'island' in the nursery rhyme may be the fairy island we are going to find." Weizi, the news you got from Sun Zhu, do you know what kind of tomb you dug up?"

Xue Wei stared at the candle flame and said in a low voice: "Sun Zhu has been here for two years, and he has only inquired about a little one-sided news of the ancient tomb, and Shui Fangling, whose ancestors lived in Watergate Village, has never heard of any news about the ancient tomb, so he ......" He raised his head, and his eyes revealed a strange light: "So the tomb I am looking for is also on that island......"
