If I'm not mistaken, these people are waiting for us.

Most of the people who died at their hands before were also entangled with the secrets in the Octagonal Tower. In other words, they may want the four corpse craftsmen.

But what is so special about the four corpse craftsmen compared to ordinary people?

I flipped through the ledger again, trying to get some more useful information out of it.

After turning the pages to the page, I was surprised to find that there were various organs on it, but there was no head.

It stands to reason that things like the retina are important targets for organ trafficking, but neither the dismemberment record nor the organ trafficking record mention the skull.

I think back to Nanshan Village, where everyone's heads disappeared overnight.

Could it be that the head has any special meaning to these people?

After Lao Meng and I went around for a while, I went back to the house to check on Yu Nian's condition, and found that she was already much more awake at this time.

I hurriedly told Yu Nian all the information and conjectures I had just gathered, and Yu Nian's performance was calm, as if he had already guessed this.

Yu Nian's strength had recovered most of his strength, and he brought me to the mountain where the two of us had been chatting before.

Pointing to the place not far ahead, he said to me, "From the topography, this valley is a place where the dragon is wolong, and the mountain we left before is a dragon shortage." ”

The word "Wolong" may sound unfamiliar, but the words dragon vein and dragon lack are much easier to explain.

The dragon vein refers to an excellent feng shui terrain. In ancient times, Feng Shui mainly promoted the five decisions of geography, namely dragon, cave, sand, water, and direction, which refers to the five major elements of Feng Shui.

So what is a dragon shortage? The dragon deficiency is also a kind of feng shui terrain, compared to the dragon vein, the dragon lacks one of the five duels.

In ancient times, when the emperor chose a tomb, he would find a dragon vein, and the dignitaries and the prince Zhu Hou would choose the dragon shortage.

Because only the true dragon emperor can live on the dragon vein, in order to show respect for the emperor and not commit taboos, others can only choose to build a tomb on the dragon shortage.

But in fact, this is not the fault of the feng shui master, but the fate of the person in the tomb.

Many things are not perfect, and for some people's fate, one out of five decisions is something they cannot be blessed with. In this case, a feng shui master needs to find a shortage.

The dragon shortage is more difficult to find than the dragon vein, not only to have excellent feng shui, but also to ensure that the dragon shortage is the one that the tomb owner just does not need.

It takes luck, but also opportunity.

Yu Nian said, "The octagonal tower we left before can be regarded as Mengluo's mausoleum, which is located on the dragon que. It is estimated that these people have seen feng shui, so they occupy the magpie's nest here, waiting for the opportunity. ”

I looked over the hill we had walked out of and saw that it was a great place to watch.

People coming from the mountains and leaving are all clear at a glance.

Yu Nian continued, "As long as someone comes out of the mountain, they will find a way to bring them here. They are not ordinary thieves who go for gold and silver treasures, they want people who can come out of the tomb alive. ”

What Yu Nian said coincided with what I guessed.

"What they want, is it the people of the four corpse craftsmen?"

Yu Nian nodded, "The people of the four sects of the corpse eater, because they have been dealing with corpses since childhood, and their bodies are possessed by yin qi all the year round, so there are rumors that the flesh of the corpse eater can pierce through yin and yang at a glance. These people probably believed in some kind of cult before, so they listened to this kind of rumor. On the last page of the ledger, it was recorded that someone had revealed to them that the ancestor of the four gates of the corpse master was buried in this mountain, and that he could guard the descendants of the corpse maker by waiting not far from Long Que. ”

I looked at the cement box at the bottom of the mountain, "So, the boxes are all the descendants of the corpse maker?" ”

Yu Nian glanced at it and said, "How could the real corpse craftsman descendant fall into the trap so easily. The dead ones are just tourists who have lost their way in the rainforest. It's hateful that these demons don't know what stupid thing they've done until they die. ”

"But that woman used to see my dad."

Yu Nian looked at me in some surprise: "How do you know?" ”

"I mean, I took out my dad's picture at the time, and they both had strange expressions, so I think they must have seen him."

"Could it be that you have a psychological effect, subconsciously feeling that their expressions have changed?"

I shook my head, "I don't know. ”

At this point, I'll admit I'm starting to have a nervous breakdown. But the slightest disturbance can make me uneasy or nervous for a long time.

The little light that I had finally seen was shrouded in a fog again, and I walked back to the house with Yu Nian in despair.

After entering the house, Yu Nian began to pack his luggage, and finally took out the nine-fold treasure letter and came to Tengchong Chong and said, "Now that the copper coins have been collected, after seeing the things inside, I should go on the road." ”

Teng Chongchong immediately sat up energetically and looked at Yu Nian gratefully. Although Yu Nian never agreed to Teng Chongchong, he was still hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.

After the four copper coins were placed together, the lid of the Ninefold Treasure Han popped up with a click.

Yu Nian opened it casually, and it was empty.

Everyone's expressions froze, and Yu Nian was even more surprised, "What about the bone nails?" ”

Yu Nian flipped through the Ninefold Treasure Letter inside and out, but he didn't find the bone nail. In the end, the box was slammed to the ground by Yu Nian, and then glared at Teng Chongchong viciously, "You are fooling me?" ”

Teng Chongchong panicked and explained, "I didn't! I've been carrying this ninefold treasure letter for so many years, and I've never opened it. ”

"Impossible! Until the copper coins are collected, it is impossible for the Ninefold Treasure Letter to be opened. The Bone Repair Nail has never left the Ninefold Treasure Letter for thousands of years! ”

I've never seen Yu Nian's emotional ups and downs so great, as if she wouldn't have reacted so much when her own life was in danger.

I thought about it for a while, and thought of Teng Jianmin's old fox.

After losing the Ninefold Treasure Letter for so long, he was not in a hurry at all, but focused all his attention on the copper coin and my father's body, which was a bit strange.

Before, I only thought that if there were no copper coins, it would be useless for him to find the Ninefold Treasure Letter.

Now it seems that it is possible that he may have dropped the Nine Treasure Letters early in the morning.

But according to what Yu Nian said, it is impossible to open the Ninefold Treasure Letter before the copper coins are collected. That shows that Teng Jianmin is very likely to have collected four copper coins, opened the nine-fold treasure letter, and dropped the bone nail inside.

After removing the plutonic nails, he once again scattered the copper coins in his hands to confuse the public.

However, all the people who are eager to make bone nails will put all their minds on finding copper coins, so as to divert everyone's attention.

never expected that in the end, everything fell on Teng Jianmin.

Of course, I didn't say these words to Teng Chongchong, but only persuaded her not to dwell on the matter anymore, and then packed up her things and left the village with her.

Before leaving, Yu Nian instructed us to set a fire as usual, and we didn't leave until it was all burned clean.

The raging fire buried this terrifying and gloomy place, and compared to the ghosts who were taken away by Yu Nian before, these people who went mad were even more terrifying.

Human nature is dark and tortuous, and it is difficult to predict what incomprehensible things they will do in order to satisfy their own ends.

After leaving the rainforest, a few of us took the ring road, took a bus to the city, and planned to return to Hangzhou according to the route we had come.

I didn't say that I was going to find Teng Jianmin, I just said that I would go back and get something, and send Teng Chongchong for a ride by the way.

I was also happy and apprehensive in my heart, and I was worried about going back to face Teng Jianmin, and I was not sure that I would be able to tell him the truth to me.

Happily, Yu Nian is tied to me again now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to leave for a while.

Teng Chong sat on my right hand side and tentatively leaned his head against me.

My knee-jerk reaction was to dodge, but she leaned in again.

It wasn't until the bus drove into the rest service area that I went down to smoke a cigarette, and Teng Chongchong followed me again.

The injury on my foot was not healed, so I limped over and asked me, "Xiao Ding, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

I shook my head, her face turned red all of a sudden, and after hesitating for a while, she said to me, "I know it's a bit unreserved to say that all of a sudden, but I don't think face is important, and I don't want to hide anything in front of you." I'd love to follow you all the time, and as long as I have you, I don't think the Ninefold Treasure Letter is so important to me. ”

I suddenly realized what she was going to say, but I never expected that she would have such feelings for me from the beginning of time.

I usually see people's feelings clearly, but when it's my turn, I get confused.

I didn't wait for Teng Chongchong to finish speaking, so I hurriedly said, "I know what you want to say, I promise you, I will recognize you as my sister, anyway, I have more sisters." "I excused myself.

I learned a long time ago that if you have neither love nor affection for a girl, you should still make it clear as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will always be misunderstood.

However, Tengchong Chong is not a master who will return when he sees it, and when he heard me say this, he continued, "No, I like you, the kind I like very much." ”

As soon as the words of this sentence fell, Liao Kao walked out of the toilet, and Yu Nian happened to pass by.

The four of them were so awkwardly stiff in place.

I looked at Tengchong's sparkling eyes, as if there was light.

I believe that what she said at this moment was from the bottom of her heart, I looked at her for a while, and said in a very firm tone, "But I like Yu Nian, the kind I especially like." ”

The light in Teng Chongchong's eyes dimmed, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Although I feel a little distressed, I don't regret it.

I turned my head to look at Yu Nian, her expression instantly turned cold, pretending not to hear anything, and hurriedly walked away.
