Chapter 11 Who dies and who lives
When Mu Luoyi heard this, the smile on his face became more and more rippling, and he actually laughed out loud, raised his eyes to look at the person in the coffin, and smiled lightly at the heart:
"Look, his hair is still dripping with water......
Hearing this, Feng Qianxin looked up at the apricot white hair, and the pupils tightened, and it was really wet!
Suddenly, her slender jade legs were raised suddenly, and the tail of her dark clothes threw out a graceful arc in mid-air, like a fairy dancing, and a plum blossom bone knife slipped out of her boots, she reached out to catch it, and with a dexterous turn of her wrist, the blade was already on Xingbai's neck!
The action is neat, all in one go!
At this time, the apricot white in the coffin had a blue face, and his body was lifeless, and he was clearly dead.
"He may really be dead."
Forget Chen, who had been in the corner since he entered the mourning hall, suddenly spoke, and Mu Luoyi and Feng Qian all looked at him.
Forget Chen made a Buddha salute with one hand, gently twisted the round Buddha beads with his right hand, lowered his eyebrows, and said lightly:
"The green tiles on his head are dripping with water."
It seemed that he was catering to his words, and with a drop, a large drop of water fell on Xingbai's head, impartially smashing on Xingbai's gray hair.
Feng leaned and looked up at the green tile, maybe the rain was too big, the green tile was soaked by the rain, and another drop of water condensed on the green tile, and with a bang, his body slipped involuntarily.
"The case is getting more and more interesting."
Feng leaned his lips and re-focused his gaze on Xingbai in the coffin, slowly retracted the bone knife on his neck, and hooked his lips with an unclear smile.
Mu Luoyi also smiled meaningfully, his face was as pale as white paper, and suddenly his sword eyebrows were raised, he leaned over to cover his lips and coughed a few times, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Feng was shocked, hurriedly walked over and helped him up by the arm and said, "Are you okay?" ”
The weak arm under this armrest was abnormally thin, Feng Qianxin couldn't help frowning, Mu Luoyi gently broke away from the hand she was supporting, looking at the red blood in the palm of her hand, she actually smiled very happily, laughing so much that even her waist trembled and said, "Heh, I'm fine." ”
After that, he grasped the bloody hand into a fist, raised his legs and walked out of the mourning hall, his body melted into the rain, Feng Qian looked at his emaciated back, and suddenly remembered the female ghost's hazy teary eyes, for no reason, she couldn't help but want to ask him: "Do you love her?" ”
Mu Luoyi paused at his feet, the rain drenched him in an instant, the apricot white clothes attached to him depicted the emaciated silhouette, he turned his back to Feng in the dark, she couldn't see the look in his eyes, she only heard him smile faintly, and said: "Who are you talking about, there is nothing in this world that can touch my heart at all, let alone love?" ”
After a few laughs, he disappeared into the night.
Feng Qian looked at the light rain outside the house and smiled self-deprecatingly, glanced at the drooping eyes on the side, and sighed slightly, it is always a woman who is infatuated in this world.
Feng leaned his heart and left the mourning hall, and after he left, he slowly raised his eyebrows, and the light in his eyes gradually tightened, and the flashing yin owl was enough to make people's hearts tremble.
Forget Chen walked slowly to the coffin, looked at the apricot white in the coffin, and actually pursed his thin lips and smiled, but his indifferent eyes revealed a bit of cruelty.
"It is not known who will die or who will live, and sometimes the person people see in their eyes is not necessarily him."
There seemed to be a deep meaning in Wuchen's words, but there was only the sound of him and Chen Zixi's breathing in the room, mixed with the rapid sound of raindrops hitting the ground outside the house, which made people feel uneasy.
Forget Chen slowly put away the prayer beads, stretched out two fingers and took out a piece of wood from the monk's robe and put it in front of his eyes, under the dim light, the small words on the wood chip were revealed under the lamp.
Suddenly, Forget Chen let go of his two fingers, and the wood chips fell silently on Xingbai's body, gradually sliding off the apricot-white, black-and-gray shroud, until he stopped beside his hand.
Forget Chen didn't take a look, turned around and left, Chen Zixi behind him glanced at the apricot white in the coffin, his eyes flickered slightly, and he also left with Forget Chen's footsteps.
The lights in the mourning hall were dying, and some people in the dim room were panicking, and a gust of wind slowly blew outside the house, whimpering, as if someone was crying, and as if someone was laughing.
Suddenly, a thin hand suddenly stretched out from the coffin, and a piece of wood was still in his hand, and slowly a person wearing a shroud sat up in the coffin.
Xingbai slowly opened his eyes, his flat lower abdomen suddenly sunken in, he exhaled deeply, where was there still the appearance of standing towards the evening in a pair of dirty old eyes, and in his sharp eyes, there was a faint hint of licking blood, he raised the wooden board and looked at the words written on it, and suddenly laughed weirdly:
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary monk, I made this bet with you."
——
A lot of things happened this night, and there were still many things that Feng Qian couldn't figure out.
The strange fragrance she smelled when the blood moon appeared in the inn that day, including the abnormality when she was delirious, I heard Si Ying mention that when the blood moon appeared in the storage room, Forget the dust was exactly the same as her, as if she was enchanted, could it be related to the secret in the Gen Dog Lifting Moon Lamp?
Could the weird smile on Liu Jie'er's face when she died also be related to this lamp?
What happened on the night she died, where was the lamp placed, and who lit it?
The rain fell overnight, and it didn't stop until the next morning, when Si Ying returned.
Si Ying gasped and sat next to Feng Qianxin, his face was a little shocked, he took a sip of tea and pressed it before saying, "Tilt, things are much more complicated than we imagined, I think we should give up the investigation!" ”
"Why, you only walked all night and then retreated?" Feng leaned and raised his eyebrows.
Si Ying shook his head, and said with a little timidity: "This Xingbai really didn't tell the truth, this Gen dog really hides a big secret in the moon lantern!" ”
"What's the secret?" Feng Qianxin's expression tightened, and he frowned and asked.
Si Ying twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time before repeating the housekeeper's words: "My life is fleeting, the Yangtze River is endless, I don't enter reincarnation, and the believer lives forever." Legend has it that Yi Qingchen chanted this sentence before he died, and I think everyone in the world guesses that it should have something to do with the secret of this Gen dog holding the moon lantern, right? ”
Feng Qian lowered her eyebrows and pondered this sentence carefully, but what was the mystery in the words, she couldn't have an epiphany for a while.
"What else?" Feng Qianxin continued to ask.
Si Ying stabilized his heart a little and said: "Pour your heart, this Xing family is very weird, it's really dangerous, I suspect that there must be a big conspiracy hidden in it!" ”
Feng was surprised: "What? ”
Si Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I heard the housekeeper say that Xingbai and Xingchen are twin brothers, the Xingjia lamp-making is passed down from the ancestors, and the younger brother Xingchen has been weak since he was a child, but he has a talent for making lamps, and he was selected as the head of the family, but he is weak, and every time he gets sick, his brother Xingbai takes his place to do business."
Xingbai has a gentle temperament and does not fight or grab, he does not want to compete with his younger brother, so he hides his craftsmanship very well, and Xingchen has a serious illness thirty years ago, and he has not been far away, and he has never been out of Lingbo City at all. Others may not be able to tell the difference, but the housekeepers who grew up together since childhood can see it! ”
Feng Tianxin's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said with a little horror: "You mean to say that it is not Xingchen who makes this Gen Dog Lifting Moon Lantern, but Xingbai!" ”
Si Ying nodded and said, "And the housekeeper also said that since Xingchen's death, Xingbai's personality has changed very abnormally for a while, and as for how abnormal the housekeeper has not finished speaking." ”
Feng stood up with a heartfelt smile, and said with a frown: "How is the housekeeper now?" ”
Si Ying shook his head with a sigh and said, "He didn't finish speaking, and he died." I asked him to do an autopsy, and he died of almond poisoning, and the vegetable farmer was scared by the death of the housekeeper and lost half of his life, and he has not said a word so far. ”
"What a powerful method, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys."
Feng leaned into the room and paced slowly, her eyes darkened, and there was a cold chill emanating from it, and suddenly, she raised her face and groaned, "That's not right." ”
Si Ying frowned and looked at her, puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
His eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a condensed voice: "If Xingbai knew the secret of this Gen dog holding the moon lantern, how could he be dormant in such a situation?" ”
"Isn't he dead?" Si Ying was even more puzzled.
"Dead? Hmph, I think I can hide it from anyone, I think both Wangchen and Mu Luoyi know that he is not dead. Feng leaned his lips and sneered.
Si Ying's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "You mean he cheated to death, why did he do this?" ”
Feng Qian smiled heartily, his watery eyes seemed calm but in fact they were dark and turbulent, and chuckled: "Then only he knows, I think I have guessed something, this case is getting more and more interesting." ”
