Lin Faguang's home is indeed not ordinary, the door is the living room, the decoration and layout style in the hall is actually very similar to the Jieling family, there is a shrine offering table against the wall, there is a large open space in the middle without putting things, there is a table of eight immortals by the window, that's all.

At this time, there was an old lady drinking gruel on the table of the Eight Immortals, and when she saw us coming, she put down her chopsticks.

Aunt Wang greeted: "Sister-in-law, we are here." ”

The little old lady should be Lin Faguang's wife, raising her cloudy eyeballs and looking at us blankly. I didn't speak, this person seemed a little abnormal.

Lin Faguang walked over and shouted, "You go inside to eat, let's talk about something outside." ”

The old lady blinked, stood up tremblingly, took the gruel, and walked into the room with small steps. Lin Faguang closed the door, pulled a few chairs from the Eight Immortals table, and asked us to sit down.

Lin Faguang sat opposite and looked me up and down: "Are you Luo Dao?" ”

"Yes." I nodded.

The corners of his mouth moved: "The bell is so solemn, it turns out that you are looking for you." Which sect are you from, and who is Master? ”

I said, "I'm not a sect, I'm an ordinary person." ”

What else did Lin Faguang say, Aunt Wang said, "Old Lin, are you trying prisoners?" Do guests come to the door without even a cup of hot tea? ”

Lin Faguang smiled: "It's me who is slacking." He went to the kitchen to get hot water, and Aunt Wang whispered: "Xiao Luo, don't be angry, Lao Lin is such a rectum, he speaks inappropriately, he is not a bad person, he is such a style." ”

I was uncomfortable, but I still squeezed out a smile: "I know, it's okay." The relationship here is heavy, and it is understandable that Master Lin is cautious, and it is the same for me. ”

Lin Faguang brought a set of mahogany tea sets, heated the water, and made tea for us. How can I be in the mood to drink tea, the unfamiliar environment in front of me, and the cold attitude of the owner, all make me disheartened.

"Master Lin, I want to know why the bell has become like this." I say.

"Did you see him?" Lin Faguang asked.

I nodded: "I can be said to be very good friends with Jieling, since he asked me to come, he must have his reasons." If I want to save him, I have to know what happened to him. ”

What I said in these few words was categorical, Lin Faguang's eyes changed a little when he looked at me, and he nodded: "Can you tell me how the reconciliation bell met, and how good it is." Although the solution of the bell is entrusted to you, Xiao Luo, you have to understand that the relationship between you is important! There are a lot of people and things involved, and I have to be careful. ”

I have already told Aunt Wang about the reconciliation of the bell last night, but I can't help it, I can only talk about it again now.

Lin Faguang listened very carefully, and after finishing speaking, I took a sip of tea with a dry mouth, and he said, "Xie Ling once planned to take you as an apprentice?" ”

"He's going to do that." I say.

Lin Faguang stood up and walked around twice with his hands behind his back: "I see, I kind of understand." Xiao Luo, come here. ”

He called me to the shrine. The shrine occupies an entire wall, from the ceiling to the ground, and is covered with red charms. On the beam, there is a wooden plaque, and from right to left is engraved a line of elegant official scripts: Liuren Shengong. In the middle of this plaque is also hung a gossip mirror.

In front of the shrine was a tall offering table, on which was enshrined a black-faced old man with a full face, round eyes, and a sword in one hand.

Lin Faguang pointed to an ever-bright lamp on the offering table: "Xiao Luo, do you see it?" ”

This ever-bright lamp has a short core and burns a flame the size of a bean, and it looks like it will be extinguished at any time. At the end of the lamp is tied a piece of red silk, and in the silk is a charm, on which is written a string of brush words from top to bottom, and it is impossible to recognize what the words are.

"What is this?" I question.

Lin Faguang's next sentence surprised me a lot. He said, "This is the natal lamp that unlocks the bell. ”

My throat fluttered. Lin Faguang looked at the flames and said: "The light is as bright as a person, and when the light is out, you will die." ”

"What's going on with this talisman?" I asked.

"It's his birthday." Lin Faguang said: "When Xie Ling was young, his master once led him to worship under the seat of the teacher, and he was a registered disciple of the teacher. Only by becoming a disciple of the master can he be blessed by the master and can obtain the life-saving method. ”

"Life-saving law?" I wondered.

"Yes, it is also called the method of protecting the family disciples. It is to hand over the three souls and seven spirits to the teacher for protection, and the teacher's guild lights a lamp to protect Yangshou from being damaged. Let's put it this way, Xie Ling is in a big disaster this time, if it weren't for the rare opportunity to worship under the teacher's seat in the early years and get such a rare opportunity as the life-saving method, he would have died at this time, and it would be difficult to save the immortals. ”

I stumbled and said, "The bell is in trouble, and this teacher didn't come to the rescue?" ”

Lin Faguang smiled, pointed to the black statue of the old man on the offering table and said, "This is the teacher!" The name is Hehe Patriarch. The patriarch is one of the innate gods, and nothing will come to the world. He was able to save a life for Xie Ling and still not die, which is already his old mana's boundless power. This kind of thing can only depend on fate, and if we want to save the bell, we have to do it ourselves. ”

"Then Master Lin, can you tell me, why did Xie Ling fall to such a point?" I asked.

Lin Faguang glanced back at Aunt Wang, who immediately understood, and smiled: "Okay, you two can discuss, my store is still a little ahead of time." Xiao Luo, do you know the way back? I don't know if I take a taxi, and my aunt will report it. ”

I hurriedly said I knew.

Aunt Wang said goodbye to us and went out.

Lin Faguang and I went back to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, he poured me tea, and said, "Xiao Luo, I can see that you are a good boy, and he has his considerations for letting you come." I'll tell you about it, you really don't know what happened? ”

I said, "When I first arrived here, Aunt Wang mentioned it to me, as if it was related to some strange murder, and she didn't know how specific it was. ”

Lin Faguang nodded: "Probably less than a month ago, we had several homicides here one after another. One of the two deceased recently, a 26-year-old daughter-in-law, died in her bedroom. The other deceased, a college student, died in a tree next to the reservoir. ”

"Oh? And then what? I asked.

"The victims were naked when they died, and their faces were covered with white paint."

I was stunned: "Can you elaborate on it?" ”

Lin Faguang started with the first little daughter-in-law. This 26-year-old daughter-in-law died extremely strangely, and a few days before her death, she and her husband had an awkward quarrel, and the two separated. The husband slept in the living room with the quilt, and the bedroom naturally belonged to the woman. On the night of the accident, my husband wanted to communicate with her, but he couldn't wait to come back, and he didn't answer the phone, until about ten o'clock in the evening, and the husband went to sleep first as soon as he was angry.

Just as he was sleeping in a daze, he heard the sound of a lock, and then the door opened and someone walked in to change his shoes. He knew that his wife was back, but he pretended not to know when he was angry, and ignored it. The little daughter-in-law didn't say hello to him, and after changing her shoes, she went straight into the bedroom and slammed the door shut.

The next morning, my husband got up from the sofa and saw that the door was still tightly closed, so he got angry and dressed and went to work. When he came back from work in the evening, he found that the door was still closed, and he went to knock on the door, but he couldn't knock on it, and then he felt that something was not right. took out the spare key and opened the door, and when he saw the scene in the house, the husband was stupid and sat on the ground.

The little daughter-in-law is dead, and the death is extremely strange. The whole person was naked, tied to a rope, and hung in the air. Five ropes hung from the ceiling, hanging in the air in dead knots, and the little daughter-in-law had a rope tied to each of her limbs and a rope tied to her neck. The ropes were still of different lengths, and the corpse of the little daughter-in-law was tilted in the air, with her feet higher than her head, and at first glance the whole person looked like a spider with teeth and claws.

The most terrifying thing is that one of the little daughter-in-law's faces was smeared into a pure white color, white as lime, and even her eyebrows were covered, leaving only two black eyes wide open, dead and blind.

When the police came to investigate, they had no clue at all, and it was certain that the little daughter-in-law did not commit suicide. First, there was no motive for suicide, and there was no suicide note or anything like that at the scene, just relying on the argument that my husband said that the relationship was incompatible cannot stand; secondly, to tie a rope to the ceiling, and then to hang yourself so troublesomely on it, this work is obviously not something that can be done by one person; Third, according to the husband's description, this door has not been opened since the daughter-in-law entered the house, and the police have carefully investigated the scene and ruled out the possibility of outsiders committing the crime, which is completely a secret room homicide case. The husband was imprisoned as the biggest suspect.

A few days later, the old man guarding the reservoir reported that a body had been found in the woods near the reservoir. When the police heard the news, they arrived at the scene and found that the person's death was almost the same as that of the little daughter-in-law a few days ago.

The deceased was a sophomore at a local private university, and the young man was undressed when he died, and his whole body was hanging from a tall tree. Knotted ropes hung from the branches, tying his limbs and neck, making him look like a spider hanging from the air.

The medical examiner performed an autopsy and found that the college student died in the early hours of the morning, and at this time, the biggest suspect, the husband of the little daughter-in-law, was still in the detention center, and it was impossible to commit the crime.

The whole case is mired in mystery.
