was chatting, and suddenly heard a rush of shouting outside, as if it was not a person shouting, because it was in Miao language, and I couldn't hear what the shouting was.

The expression of the owner of the village changed, and he stood up from the chair with a "poof": "Not good!" It's on fire! ”

Several people hurried out of the yard and saw billowing black smoke not far away, and a shouting sound came from the smoke.

Hao Minyuan and I ran fast, and without waiting for them, we rushed towards the black smoke, and in the distance, we saw a flame several meters high, burning a tall stilted building.

This stilted building? I recognized it at a glance.

Isn't it the stilted building with seven stone tablets that Ulla brought me to when I first came to the insect dish Miao Village!

Some of the villagers held buckets, some carried basins, and hurried to put out the fire.

Unfortunately, the fire at the scene was too fierce, and after more than a dozen people were busy for a while, they simply gave up.

I had a good sense of smell, and in addition to the pungent smell of soot, I also smelled a strange smell, and I pondered for a moment, and I was shocked in my heart, it was the smell of kerosene.

Looking at the stilted building that has turned into a sea of fire, the fire is so fierce that it is not at all like a natural fire in the building - someone deliberately set it on fire!

In less than ten minutes, hundreds of villagers were around.

The owner of the village told us with a sad face that all the witchcraft we got from the cave back then were all hidden in this stilted building, and this is a hundred!

The fire burned for more than an hour before it gradually went out, and everyone hurriedly poured water to extinguish the last flames.

Several people held long sticks and pulled for a while, but unfortunately the fire just now was too fierce, and almost everything in the entire stilted building was burned down, and even the seven stone tablets were broken into several pieces, and the symbols and patterns on them were difficult to recognize.

What is surprising is that in the end, two burned corpses were pulled out of the ashes, and Hao Minyuan asked Xiao He to do a simple autopsy, and it turned out that these two people were young men, and the cause of death was suffocation.

I remember that Ulla said that this stilted building belongs to the forbidden land of the entire village, and ordinary people can't get close, let alone enter, who are these two people, and how can they die in this stilted building!

After all, this is the hinterland of 100,000 mountains, and it is the territory of seedlings, to put it bluntly, it belongs to the "land outside the law", and we are from Shandong, so it is inconvenient to meddle in the facts here.

The villagers looked at the two corpses, pointing and talking about something, I thought about it for a while, and quietly pulled Hao Minyuan to the side.

"Brother Minyuan, this fire is not an accident, but someone deliberately set it on fire!"

"Oh? How do brothers see it? ”

"I smell gasoline!"

"Actually, I can see it too!" Hao Minyuan snorted coldly. The Seven Realms

"Who set the fire? What is the purpose? ”

Hao Minyuan shook his head: "I don't know, but it's ...... But it should have something to do with us! ”

After a night of tossing and turning, I was really tired, and I slept until late afternoon in the afternoon.

After waking up, he suddenly remembered the small box that Xiaowa gave him in the cave last night, so he quickly took it out.

In my hurry last night, I didn't look at this box carefully, but now in my hand, I realized that this box seems to be made of some kind of animal skin, soft in my hand, and a little elastic, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

After looking left and right, I broke it hard, and the box opened with a "snap", just like a river mussel, and inside was a very simple black ring, on which was engraved a hideous beast.

The beast looked like a tiger, with wings, hedgehog hair, two pale golden dragon horns on its forehead, and a beak like an eagle's beak.

This is......

This seems to be the legendary Qiqi!

As far as I know, Qiqi is a legendary ancient beast, which is recorded in many ancient books, such as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

What makes me wonder is not the Qiqi itself, but why is there such a strange thing carved on the ring? I took the ring in my hand, weighed it, and touched it, this ring looked like metal and jade, but it was very delicate, it should be an antiquity.

I put it on the ring finger of my left hand.

I was about to discuss with Hao Minyuan when to leave, but as soon as I went out, I was almost knocked down by the person who pushed the door and rushed in.

I don't know this man, he gasped: "Oh no! Oh no! The owner of the village is dead! ”

"Who died?"

I grabbed the man and asked quickly.

"Our owner is dead! What's that coming with you...... What captain asked me to call you over! ”

Is the owner of the village dead? How is this possible!

At noon at the scene of the fire, I also said a few words to him, although the owner of the village is old and frail, but he looks very tough and in good spirits, it has only been a few hours, how can he die!

Although I was puzzled, I still hurriedly followed to the owner's house.

The courtyard of the owner of the village was already full of people, and I followed through the crowd and saw Doctor Miao and the young Miao Po standing in the courtyard muttering something.

I walked a few steps to the door of the house, and I saw Hao Minyuan and Xiao He bending over, in front of the two of them, the owner of the village leaned on a rattan chair, his head was slightly raised, his eyes were wide, the muscles on his face were stiff, and what made people feel shocked was that the owner of the village actually had an exaggerated smile on his face, which should be the expression of the moment of his death.
