But there are other things to be interesting about.

First of all, there is a mention of "evil law" in the discourse, and I guess the evil law here is the "evil ritual", so what exactly is this evil law? What is it used for? Why did Chen Youliang's temperament change drastically after using the evil method?

I remember that Qiu Yan mentioned soul reincarnation, but I was never able to combine soul reincarnation with Chen Youliang's great change in temperament.

The second is to abolish the evil law, divide the tortoise shell into nine, and divide the nine people, this passage is very easy to understand, which means that Huang Zongman regretted it after finding that Chen Youliang's temperament had changed greatly, so he abolished the evil law in a fit of anger, and then divided the tortoise shell into nine pieces, which were held by nine people.

From this, it can be seen that the so-called evil law should have a lot to do with the tortoise shell, or the runes on the tortoise shell.

In this way, these nine pieces of tortoise shell should have been distributed by Huang Zongman, and he took a piece himself, which was the one that was passed on to me from my grandfather, and then we found a piece in Lin Feng Farm, which should belong to Peng Shixiong, so after the war, Peng Shixiong still had contact with Huang Zongman.

In addition, there is also a piece of Yuehongmei in Fengwu Village, this tortoise shell was later taken away by Chen Fangyuan, and when I arrived at this place, I didn't understand, what is the relationship between the Miao people of Fengwu Village, or the soul killer and Huang Zongman? Why did Huang Zongman give them a piece of tortoise shell?

There is also Chen Fangyuan, he is so unscrupulous to find tortoise shells, is it also related to this evil law?

"Zimu, are you alright?" Qiu Yan asked nonchalantly, pulling me back from my thoughts to reality.

"Hey, it's okay, I was just scared by this passage, you said that if Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was Chen Youliang who Huang Zongman killed for him, and Huang Zongman did not die of hunger strike, would our family have become high-ranking officials and nobles?"

"Cut, are you embarrassed to say that? He wrote it himself, ashamed of the world, people are the real husbands, I wonder, grandma's family is full of heroes and heroes, how can you be such an unscrupulous descendant? Huang Yueling said with disdain on her face.

Brother Zeng didn't understand the reason, stood aside in a daze, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Does this Huang Zongman have anything to do with your family?" ”

"Brother Zeng, you don't know yet, this Huang Zongman is actually my ancestor."

"Oh, then what is the relationship between him and Chen Youliang? This is written on the King of Han Han Wang, isn't this King Han Chen Youliang? ”

I nodded, "That's right, we now guess that Huang Zongman is a folk righteous man found by Chen Youliang from Xiangxi, and he also participated in the Poyang Lake battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang. ”

Brother Zeng suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you came here, it turns out that there is such a relationship!" ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter what it does, it's been hundreds or thousands of years, we mainly want to find some clues in this Huang Zongman. Oh, by the way, Brother Zeng, I hope you don't talk about this, he's also my ancestor, I don't want him to die without peace, okay? ”

"Look at what you said, don't say that he is your ancestor, even if you have nothing to do with each other, I won't talk nonsense, don't worry, since you have confessed, I will treat it as if there is nothing here."

I patted Brother Zeng on the shoulder gratefully, and then instructed everyone, "You guys look for it, see if there is anything suspicious, and when you're done, we'll go out." ”

With that, I took the lead in rummaging through the cabinets.

After more than ten minutes, we got back together, and everyone shook their heads, as if nothing had been found.

"I guess the most valuable thing is that last words, the others are some ancient books, which may be valuable for archaeology, but they are of little use to us." Qiu Yan concluded.

"So be it, let's get out."

"What about him?" Huang Yueling asked, pointing to Huang Zongman's bones.

I was silent for a while, and then said, "Since he chose to go on a hunger strike here, he is using this place as a grave, I think we should not touch him and let him stay here quietly!" ”

When they saw me say this, they all nodded and walked out the door.

I let the three of them get ahead, and as I was leaving, I glanced back at the skeleton, probably dazzled, and I felt as if he was looking at me.

I thought to myself that this is my ancestor, according to the rules of our family, I have to kowtow to the grave of my ancestor, since it is inconvenient to kowtow now, I have to express it.

So, I stood up and bowed respectfully to the skeleton.

When I got back to the ground, I consulted with Brother Zeng, and found tools to block the door on the rock with earth and stones, and afterwards we covered up the traces of the cut along the way, until I could not see with the naked eye that anyone was walking here.

Back on the fishing boat, we had a bite to eat and sailed to the big island.

Much of the Big Island, as I imagined, has been artificially exploited, and there are no relics to be found.

When it was time for dinner, we found a small restaurant to sit down.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" As soon as we sat down, Brother Zeng poured a cup of tea for each of us, and then asked.

Brother Zeng has been following us out for more than ten days, during which he has never mentioned that he wants to go home, and even the phone call is only once every two or three days, it seems that men are the same, whether they have money or not, they still yearn for this thrilling life from the bottom of their hearts.

When I heard Brother Zeng's question, I was suddenly stunned because I didn't know where to go tomorrow.

Qiu Yan and I have been following the clues all along, and it seems that no matter where we go, there will always be clues leading us to another place, but today, it seems that things have come to an end, and there is nothing to check about this huge Poyang Lake.

I turned my head to look at Qiu Yan, and saw that she and Huang Yueling were also looking at me, as if they also wanted to know the next direction from me.

I shook my head and smiled helplessly, "It seems that we have no place to go!" ”

After speaking, I saw Qiu Yan frowning, and after a while she spoke: "Yes, we came here to check Chen Youliang and Huang Zongman, and now we know about it, otherwise, let's go back!" ”

I thought about it for a while, and finally nodded: "Well, it's okay, I just have something I want to ask my grandmother, so let's go back tomorrow!" ”

At this time, I found that Brother Zeng, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly collapsed his face, as if he didn't want to go home yet, not only him, but even Huang Yueling, who usually talked about going home, seemed to be a little unhappy.

"Qiu Yan, let's trouble Brother Zeng for so long, why don't we go to his house to sit down, let's also try the craftsmanship of Brother Zeng's sister-in-law, how about it?" I winked at Qiu Yan as I spoke.

In fact, I know Brother Zeng's mood very well at this time, this kind of loneliness after the end of the friend is really uncomfortable, I really can't bear to let him drive back on the boat alone, so I want to accompany him to go around, anyway, we are not in a hurry, and this trip Brother Zeng did help a lot, we should indeed express it.

Qiu Yan understood, nodded and said yes, Brother Zeng changed back to a smiling face, and Huang Yueling also raised the corners of his mouth.

In this way, we rested overnight at the mouth of Poyang Lake, and the next day we sailed with his boat towards Nanjing.

After walking around Poyang Lake for such a while, when I went back again, although the scenery on both sides of the strait was the same, my mood was different when I looked at the scenery at this time.

If I was skeptical of those gods and ghosts before I came, then now I am convinced, what happened under the lake, last night's dream, and Huang Zongman's last words all prove the existence of the dead man's world, and I even suspect that the toast, living dead, and skeletons I saw before were all ghosts, not some bacteria as Qiu Yan said.

However, what worries me the most is not the world of the dead, judging from my series of encounters, as long as you don't provoke it, the world of the dead will not take the initiative to come to you.

What I'm worried about is Chen Fangyuan and the forces behind it.

Now it seems that the inscription left under the cave in the Xiangxi Canyon should be my ancestor Huang Zongman, Qiu Yan's translation of the inscription has the words "evil ritual", and in the last words written by Huang Zongman himself, there are also two words "evil law", I almost suspect that this evil law is related to the tortoise shell, that is to say, Chen Fangyuan is looking for the tortoise shell to reproduce this "evil law".

In my investigation with Qiu Yan, the first time I came into contact with the "evil law" or "evil ritual", it was during the war between the two brothers Peng Da Worm Keyi and Peng Yonglie, according to our investigation, Peng Yonglie wanted to use the "evil law" on his son, and was later discovered by Peng Da Worm Keyi, which directly led to the two Tusi soldiers meeting each other, and the final result was that Peng Yonglie's father and son died, Peng Da Worm Keyi was arrested and imprisoned, and finally died in prison. Even when it comes to his confidante Yue Hongmei, it seems that he also wants to hide it as much as possible, and he doesn't want this matter to be too publicized.

The second contact was in the cave of the canyon, where Huang Zongman used evil methods against Chen Youliang, but the later result was that Chen Youliang's temperament changed drastically, and Huang Zongman had no choice but to kill the master.

Although these two things seem to be just old things with a very tragic ending, but what is hidden behind this makes me deeply uneasy, whether it is Peng Yonglie or Chen Youliang, the purpose of their evil law is to give themselves the upper hand in the battle, is to borrow the evil law to turn the tables, on the other hand, this evil law is some kind of war weapon, Peng Yonglie and Chen Youliang both believe that if they get the evil law, they can turn the tables from defeat.

If things are really as I guessed, combined with the pictures I saw under the lake, then Chen Fangyuan's purpose is worth being wary of.

"Zimu, what do you want? So fascinating? Qiu Yan didn't know when she walked up to me and asked softly.

"I'm wondering if we're going to check on Chen Fangyuan next." I replied.

Qiu Yan nodded, "Well, I think so too, since he took the things from the bottom of the lake, we should go and find out what it is, and if we check Chen Fangyuan, we can still have Long Quan to help, we have one more helper." ”

"Hehe, you're right, with Long Quan's help, we should be a lot easier." I teased.

Qiu Yan was still preoccupied with her tiger bone spearhead, and she didn't seem to care about anything else, of course, I could understand her urgency, but I also wanted to remind her that Long Quan was not entirely on our side.

I looked at Qiu Yan's expectant smile on her face, but I couldn't say it in the end.
