When Qi Lu woke up again, he found that he had returned to Guta Village and slept in the room that Yang Yi had arranged for him.

What's going on here? Was everything you just experienced a dream? It's so real, so real that it's frightening. Qi Lu rubbed his swollen eyes and got up from the bed.

"Is this a dream?" Qi Lu looked confused and racked his brains to think.

In fact, Qi Lu knew that he couldn't find the answer at all, and the only thing he could be sure of was that something unexplainable had happened!

"Ahh Suddenly, there was a terrible scream outside.

Qi Lu was also shocked, this scream pierced his nerves like a sharp needle, he quickly took out a pistol from his backpack, and his body moved, and the person had already swept out of the room.

The scene presented in front of Qi Lu's eyes in the open space outside the door was so terrifying that he felt suffocated and shocked.

There were several corpses lying on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Qi Lu squatted down and found that the closest corpse to him was the corpse of Ji'an Mountain, the face with the sun on his back was like white ash, and his seven orifices were full of blood flowing out.

Qi Lu suddenly remembered that the owner of the ghost hotel on the road, the person who was exactly the same as Ji'an Mountain, also died like this.

Next to the corpse of Ji'an Mountain, there was also his wife Ayoudan and some villagers who Qi Lu did not know, all of whom bled to death.

Qi Lu was stunned, he didn't know why such a tragedy happened, who was so vicious and wanted to kill them?

Qi Lu stood up, looked around, and found that there were corpses along the road, and they were all villagers of Guta Village.

Qi Lu held back the panic in his heart, and looked at the corpses one by one, hoping to find the survivors, but the reality disappointed him, no one was alive, they were all dead. Through the examination of the bodies, Qi Lu found that they had died less than an hour.

Among these corpses, he also saw the corpses of Yang Ning, Yang Shaotian and the village doctor Gu Yuming, and he couldn't help frowning, because in addition to Yang Bo, several other people who looked like them on the way to Guta Village also died, and they were also poisoned by this poison whose names Qi Lu didn't know yet.

Whether they look alike, or are they the same person, Qi Lu doesn't know, and I'm afraid I won't have a chance to know the truth.

"Yang Yi, why didn't their family see it?" Qi Lu suddenly realized that so many people had died, but he didn't see the bodies of the village chief's family of three.

Qi Lu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he ran towards Yang Yi's house like an arrow.

As soon as he ran to the door of his house, Qi Lu stopped because he saw Yang Bo lying at the door.

Qi Lu stepped forward to help him up and found that he was also dead, and the sign of death was also bleeding.

Could it be that the murderer poisoned the whole village when he was unconscious? But why did you leave yourself alive? Qi Lu smiled bitterly, walked into the room quickly, and saw Yang Yi sitting on a chair and also dead, and the village chief's wife fell at his feet.

The husband and wife did not close their eyes when they died, and the black blood flowing from their mouths and noses stained their entire faces, making people shudder to see.

Qi Lu stood in the house in a daze and didn't know what to do, the whole village died, and he was poisoned without resistance, but who the murderer was, Qi Lu didn't have any clue. Why didn't the murderer kill himself? Because according to common sense, he was in a coma at the time, and he should be the easiest person to kill.

Qi Lu frantically grabbed his hair, he couldn't figure it out, he felt stupid for the first time, but at the same time he felt a trace of fear. Suddenly, Qi Lu was scared, and he turned around and prepared to run, because he didn't want to die.

But he could not move his feet any longer, because he could not bear the torment of his conscience.

Qi Lu thought of a ruthless fact: If he left like this, who would avenge the villagers' revenge?

What's more, Ding Xiaolan is not among these dead people, whether she is dead or alive, Qi Lu doesn't know. But Qi Lu remembered that he had promised her to protect her. Now that I'm gone, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it in the future.

Qi Lu wiped the cold sweat on his face with his hand, and took a few deep breaths before his heartbeat returned to normal.

Since becoming a soul crosser, Qi Lu has encountered many monsters and monsters, although they all seem so incredible on the surface, but they will always leave some clues. Qi Lu also relied on this small clue to find out the murderer behind the scenes.

But this time it was different, the things entrusted by Yang Peng made him encounter too many strange facts, and there seemed to be a lot of clues, but Qi Lu calmed down and thought about it, but found that none of these clues were useful and could guide him to solve the puzzle.

Qi Lu had faintly felt that in this ancient village, in a dark corner, there was a mysterious person staring at him with a pair of eyes more cunning than a fox and more vicious than a poisonous snake, waiting for his life!

Whether he is a human or a ghost, a god or a demon, he will definitely be the most terrifying opponent that Qi Lu has never met in his life.

Qi Lu tried to calm himself down, he sat on the ground, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, and was about to light it and take a puff, but accidentally found two things on the table, which immediately made his whole body collapse.

There were two jewelry boxes, one was given to him by Yang Peng, and the other was a box that Yang Yi had kept for many years.

Why is your box here in Yang Yi? Qi Lu was stunned, subconsciously picked up Yang Yi's box, and opened it hesitantly.

Sure enough, as I imagined in my heart, the box was empty, and there was no key.

He opened the box given to him by Yang Peng again, it was still as he had seen before, there was no key in the box, only the silk at the bottom, the color was bright and a little weird.

At this moment, some of the questions that were entangled in Qi Lu's heart were connected like a rope, and he immediately figured out one thing, that is, all the strange things were related to the box! All those who die also die because of them!

"You bastard, I'm going to get you the punishment you deserve!" Qi Lu, who understood the truth, roared hoarsely, and after speaking, he picked up the two boxes and walked out of the door with firm steps, no longer panicked or afraid.

Because he finally understood a truth, that is, you can't sit still! He wants to fight back, and only when he has the initiative can he have a chance to get close to the truth.

The sunlight passed through the light and shadow of the branches of the locust tree, and coldly sprinkled on the Qisheng Tower, Qi Lu was holding a brush in his hand, stained with cinnabar, and added the words "Waiting for Sanyang" next to the poem of Zixu Missing on the wall on the right side of the tower gate.

The sun is rising, people are in it, Zixu lacks a surname, and he is waiting for Sanyang.

Qi Lu silently recited this poem in his heart, and now even a fool knows that this poem hides a secret, as long as it can be solved, the secret that the ancestors of Guta Village have been guarding for generations will be revealed to the world.

After reading it for a while, Qi Lu concluded that the poem should be a riddle, that each poem was an anagram, and that he had already guessed the hidden words in three of the sentences.

First of all, Zixu lacks a surname, this is the best guess, it is a Wu character, Wu Zixu is a famous figure in the Warring States, when he led the Wu army to defeat the Chu State, in order to avenge his father and brother, he did not hesitate to dig the tomb of King Chuping, whipping the corpse of three hundred, the idiom perverse is derived from this allusion.

Then there is the rising sun, and the direction of the sun rising in the morning is east, which should be an east character.

Next, Qi Lu pondered for a long time, and finally remembered what Yang Bo said when he accompanied him to play in the tower, so he guessed this word.

Yang Bo told him that the Qisheng Pagoda was built during the reign of King Mangyinglong of the Donghu Dynasty, which was also the time when their Shenyin clan came to Burma, more than 500 years ago. However, according to Qi Lu's understanding, there is no famous person named Sanyang in Myanmar history.

Qi Lu thought that the Yang family was originally a descendant of China, and it was the late Ming Dynasty in China at that time, so he said that he was a Chinese historical figure from the surname Zixu in the previous sentence, and he thought of the famous work of the Ming Dynasty "Water Margin", and the Liangshan hero Shixiu in the book was nicknamed Desperate Sanyan, so he concluded that the riddle of this poem was a stone character.

The three sentences have been deciphered, and now only the last sentence is left in it, at first Qi Lu thought it was a meat word, but he immediately denied this answer, because the riddle is read together is Dongrou Wushi, the sentence is obviously incomprehensible, and this answer must be wrong.

So what exactly is it? Qi Lu racked his brains and walked into the tower unconsciously.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Qi Lu still didn't guess the correct answer, and then he realized his ignorance and arrogance.

When I first entered the tower to play, I laughed at the ancient people who made the mystery for being a half-hung scholar, and now I found out that he was an extremely smart master.

Qi Lu, who had no ability to solve the riddle of the poem, had no choice but to touch the statue of Lu Wu next to the statue of Houyi and said with a wry smile: "No wonder they carved you so ugly, because you were originally a stupid person." ”

But if he leaves, Qi Lu is unwilling, it means that all his efforts are in vain, and even Ding Xiaolan will be missing and disappear into this world.

So Qi Lu took out a cigarette and smoked it, hoping that he could have a flash of inspiration and guess the riddle.

Just when Qi Lu was swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, he suddenly found that there was a strange phenomenon in Lu Wu's statue, that is, its tiger eyes No matter from that angle, it only stared in one direction.

Qi Lu looked curiously in the direction of the statue and found that the direction that the tiger's eye was focusing on was the wall on the right side of the tower. Could it be that there is some mechanism on the wall? Qi Lu instinctively walked to the right wall, looked at the statue's eyes again, and found that the angle of its eyes was fixed on a certain brick on this wall.

Qi Lu then looked at this ancient brick and found that there seemed to be a vague character engraved on the brick, and he quickly brushed off the dust on the brick surface, and vaguely recognized that this character was actually a Chinese stone character. He subconsciously determined the location of the ancient bricks, the horizontal number is the fifth, and the vertical number is also the fifth!

Qi Lu's mind suddenly brightened, it turned out that the sentence "people are inside" is not for you to guess a word, but to indicate that the person looking for the secret should be in the tower, this poem originally said that the secret is in the fifth brick on the east wall of the tower.
