"Oh." The landlord grabbed the herringbone ladder and said, "I don't blame me for this, you can see it, someone deliberately covered it." ”

"I won't blame you, go to sleep." Ye Luan said.

The landlord left, Ye Luan took the pieces of paper in my hand, put it on his nose and smelled it, and then said: "The smell on this paper is the same as the smell in the room, this person deliberately covered the probe, it should be for stealing, but if the other residents didn't lose anything, we lost the bag of soil, obviously this person is specifically for the bag of soil." ”

"But why? What can that bag of dirt do? I looked at Ye Luan in surprise.

Ye Luan shook his head and said, "I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere."

She thought about it carefully, suddenly opened her eyes, and said, "Follow me." ”

Then he pulled me out of the house, I knew that Ye Luan remembered where the smell was, and when I went to the Yipin Teahouse, I also remembered that this smell was not someone else's, it was the two beggars I gave him a reward.

As I put the money in the bowl, I felt like I hadn't taken a bath for decades, and I hurriedly took a few steps back, didn't dare to get any closer, and left.

When I arrived at the door of the Yipin Tea House, the Yipin Tea House was closed, and the door was empty, only the two big red lanterns hanging at the door of the tea house illuminated the surroundings brightly, and the four words of the tea house on the lantern were particularly conspicuous.

I was so angry that I shouted, "Damn, I was kind enough to give them a reward, but they came to our room to steal something, what the hell are they trying to do?" ”

The sound echoed in the dark and silent night sky, even clear and loud.

"Xiaotian, don't worry." Ye Luan grabbed me, and she said, "It's just a bag of soil, and it's soil that smells of blood, and it's highly poisonous, what are they going to do with this bag of soil?" ”

I was stunned suddenly, I was confused by anger just now, and as soon as Ye Luan reminded me, I calmed down, and it was not gold and silver jewelry, but a bag of soil mixed with blood and water, emitting a foul smell, what were they doing with it?

"Ye Luan, you follow the smell, let's look for it, they are still here at night, and they are deaf and blind, they are old again, their actions remain the same, and they will definitely not go far." I say.

Ye Luan nodded, and then began to catch their scent, following the scent, chasing and chasing to the foot of Guillotine Mountain.

Ye Luan and I were taken aback, looked at each other, and said, "It's Guillotine Mountain again?" These two beggars went up to Guillotine Mountain? ”

"It's possible, but if we go up to Guillotine Mountain, it will be troublesome to find, and if we continue to pile up the skeletons and block their smell, then we will be busy in vain." Ye Luan said.

"Ye Luan, you said that this pair of beggars, could it be the person you said, the person hiding behind it?" I looked at Ye Luan intently.

Ye Luan was slightly surprised, she said: "There is this possibility, the ash bit at the beginning of the month and released a lot of toxins, and these toxins are all in that bag of soil, could it be that these two people stole this bag of soil just to get these toxins back and let the ash take them back?" ”

Then I followed the taste and chased for a long time, and I actually chased it to the location where the old man and they robbed the cave at night, that is, the pine forest, and the traces of Ye Luan and I buried the thief hole are still there.

Then we were about to move forward, Ye Luan suddenly stretched out his hand to stop me, and made a shushing expression, and I cheered up, only to hear what seemed to be a rustling sound, but it seemed to be the rustle of pine trees in the wind.

"Lin Tian, have you heard the sound of water?"

I closed my eyes and listened, and there was really nothing else, there was really a commotion.

You must know that this is not a blackwater lake, there is no inner lake and no underground lake, how can there be the sound of water.

Just as I was in a daze, a paper crane flew over.

Ye Luan reached out and dragged it down.

I looked at Ye Luan in surprise and said, "Be careful." ”

"It's okay, this is a paper crane that transmits messages, there is a soul-binding technique in your forbidden art, which is needed in many crafts, such as the paper crane in front of you, it is one of them, people have three souls and seven souls, among the three souls of heaven, earth and man, the loss of the human soul does not affect reincarnation, so many craftsmen will use soul-binding techniques to bind the souls of the undead in paper products, increase their spirituality, and drive them to do things, just like the paper cranes in front of them."

Ye Luan said one by one, I was already confused, He Youqiu left me with thirty forbidden arts, there was a soul-binding technique, but my attention at the time was on the villain, so this one was almost skipped, I didn't expect this girl to read it a few times, and she actually remembered it.

She said: "This forbidden art is a good thing, you have to learn it hard, every skill is very powerful, just like this soul-binding technique in front of you." ”

"I see." I looked at the crane and said, "Spread it out and see what it says." ”

"Hmm." Ye Luan nodded and spread out the paper crane.

The paper reads: No need to chase, go back, this bag of soil will be borrowed from us, and it will be returned when it is used up, and thank you again for your reward.

Ye Luan sniffed the breath on the paper and said, "It's the breath of the two of them." ”

I took the piece of paper and compared it with the paper that was sticking to the probe, and sure enough, it was the same.

"What are they doing with this soil?" I was taken aback, and I said, "What are you going to do to the soul of the beginning of the month?" ”

Ye Luan looked at the paper in his hand, thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be, otherwise it wouldn't have passed the paper crane to us." ”

"Then are we still chasing?" I'm worried about that bag of dirt.

"Let's go back first, wait for three days, Xie Yu will prepare things, and we will come again, a little more at that time." Ye Luan said.

Although I was a little reluctant, I had no choice, but what the hell were those two beggars doing?

They should have been aiming at us early in the morning, otherwise they wouldn't have deliberately begged at the door of the Yipin Teahouse, which was so deserted that they should go to the bustling intersection to beg.

What I didn't expect was that, in response to the old saying, the master is in the people, and the two beggars look plain, and seeing them trembling like quails in the wind and rain makes me feel pity.

But who knows, they turned out to be masters, which made me understand the meaning of being hidden in the city.

Ye Luan and I went down the Guillotine Mountain, went directly into No. 1 Middle School, and arrived at the pavilion where we were a few days ago.

At that time, the beginning of the month was still there, we were still chatting here, and now he is gone, and even the bag of soil that turned into blood has been robbed, and my heart is full of self-blame and guilt.

I took a deep breath, then glanced at the two dormitories that were still lit up, and I said, "That ash shouldn't have come out to make trouble again, right?" ”
