Hearing me say this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "If you want to go with you, go together, but wait for me." ”

As he spoke, the old man stood up with his crutches and limped towards the back room. After a while, I heard the sound of 'gurgling' rummaging through the cabinets. After a while, the old man came out of the back room, carrying a bag in his hand.

"Let's go." The old man said.

The old man's electric tricycle was walking in front of him, Yuxin was driving, and we slowly followed him, through the downtown area, all the way west, and we came to the open area again.

Even though it's daytime, the area is still eerie and very quiet. In the courtyard of the kindergarten, the place where the sixth child fell has been cleaned by the police, but there are still stains of blood.

"Uncle, where did your nephew fall from the building?"

The cold atmosphere in the courtyard made me afraid to speak out loud, and asked the old man in a low voice.

"Here."

The old man raised his arm and pointed, and my heart sank. Because, the place where the child fell from the stairs back then was the same location as the place where the sixth child fell from the stairs.

The old man did not burn the paper immediately, but looked around the courtyard with a sad face, and then limped towards the broken building. Yuxin wanted to help him upstairs, but the old man waved his hand, and as he went up one step at a time, the crutches on the stairs made a 'clatter' sound.

On the second floor, we followed the old man down the hallway to the room on the far side that we had inspected later that night. As I expected, the old man told us that this room was where the children in the kindergarten used to sleep, and that the old man's nephew used to sleep here.

The old man sighed as he walked around the room, took out a stack of straw paper, and lit it in the corner of the room. In the midst of the smoke, I saw again that there seemed to be a few children running around the room...

came down from the upper floors and walked to the place where the kid and the sixth child fell to his death. The old man slowly squatted down, put his cane on the ground, and took out a plate from his bag, some oil cakes and fruits, and served them there. Kneeling on the ground and bowing a few times, the old man took out a large stack of straw paper, lit it with a lighter, and slowly put it on the ground.

Yuxin and I leaned together, staring at the yellow and blue flames burning from the straw paper, just thinking in my heart, who was his 'master' who killed the sixth child? …

When the straw paper was halfway burning, the old man suddenly took out a photo from his bag and was about to throw it into the fire, but I stopped him.

"Wait."

The old man was stunned, stopped, and looked up at me.

"Uncle, what is this?" I asked.

"Oh, my brother and sister-in-law's picture, burn it to my nephew, let him think about it underground."

"Can you show me and burn it again?" I asked.

The old man hesitated and handed me the photo. Yuxin and I got together, and I saw that the couple in the photo was about fifty years old, the woman looked sad, and the man looked a little similar to the old man in front of him, who was also very thin, and carried a bag on his shoulder. It seems that this was taken while traveling, and the photo has a date, taken in 1995, ten years ago...

I pouted slightly, shook my head, and was about to hand the photo back to the old man, when Yuxin reached out and stopped me.

"Don't worry."

"What's wrong?"

"How can I..."Yu Xin frowned at me and pointed to the photo, "How do I think that the background in the photo is very similar to the reservoir in Qingshi Town?" ”

My heart jumped to a beat, and the couple in the photo was standing between two thick willow trees, with a puddle of water behind them. At first I thought it was a scenic spot somewhere, but I didn't look closely. Listening to Yuxin say this at this moment, I took a closer look, it was indeed a bit like the reservoir in Qingshi Town, where the two couples were standing, it was very much like the embankment of the reservoir! …

If it's the reservoir, is it just a coincidence? Yuxin and I looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" The old man asked.

"Huh?" I came back to my senses and asked quietly, "Uncle, where did you take this photo of your brother and sister-in-law, do you know?" ”

"I don't know." The old man spread his hands, "This photo was taken by my brother and sister-in-law after they moved away that year, and it appeared from the pile of debris at the door, and I wanted to keep a souvenir, so I took it home." ”

I nodded and asked, "Is there only one like this, and is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, and two, at home."

My eyes lit up and I took a step forward, "Let's go, take us back to see." ”

The old man was startled by me, and although he wondered why I was looking at the pictures, he didn't ask anything.

Along the way, the old man's broken electric car climbed like an ant, and if I had changed my previous personality, I would have been eager to use the car to arch him forward.

Finally returned to the old man's residence, came to the side house, the old man rummaged through the cabinets, and found a photo. I grabbed it and got together with Yuxin to just look at it, and the two of them shouted 'ah' at the same time.

"It's... This is the stone bridge! I pointed to the photo and said to Yuxin.

"That's right." Yuxin nodded.

Everyone should still remember that Yuxin and I were in the funeral supplies store not far from the stone bridge in Qingshi Town, and encountered a 'crazy' woman, that is, the proprietress , in fact, the woman was in the reservoir when she was fishing, and was bitten by an unclean thing, thus hitting the evil, I used the technique of Qimen to help her pull out the evil qi that invaded the body...

The photo in front of me was taken ten years, and the two couples in the photo are leaning against the bridge railing, with a stream behind them, and they can't see the nearby buildings, so I don't know if there was a funeral supply store back then. I suddenly had the feeling of traveling back in time...

The old man's reaction to me and Yuxin seemed to feel inexplicable, and he stood aside blankly.

"Uncle, where is there another photo?" I asked.

"Huh? Oh, I'll look for it..."

The old man rummaged through the cupboard for seven or eight minutes before finding another photograph. When I saw it in my hand, I was stunned... In the photo, the two couples are standing at the door of an old mansion, judging from the residual tiles on the courtyard wall and the shape of the gatehouse, it is the mansion left to him by the old fox's adoptive father! …

"Ah Leng, what's wrong?" Yuxin asked.

I pointed to the photo and said, "This is the night that Ah Feng and I went to look for her son who disappeared in the Fox Immortal Temple inexplicably, according to the description of Gao Fusheng's wife after being cast..."

Seeing the mansion in the photo, the dusty memory was instantly opened... I thought of the stone stake that had been nailed in the courtyard of the courtyard, then I thought of the tooth of the ancient 'monster' that had been found in the box of the old fox's residence, and then I thought of the 'third painting' that had been destroyed by the old fox under the clay pot engraved with the 'river map'...

When Xiang Feng and I went to the old mansion, we saw that it was very remote. The owner of the funeral supply shop told us that the area was full of dilapidated houses, and that tourists would not go there. Right now, in the photo, the couple is actually standing in front of the old mansion and taking a group photo, could it be that they know the old fox? …

At this time, I thought about raising evil spirits again. After the old fox died, we found a book made of cowhide in the box where the old fox lived, which not only recorded various five-element terms, but also spells for raising evil spirits. There is no doubt that that kind of spell was passed on to him by Xu Xiangqian, the father of the old fox, along with the technique of the five elements of yin and yang. Because, Xu Xiangqian is the 'Xu Shi' mentioned in the Eighth Route Army's engineering diary, and it was he who led people to open up the stone room in the mountain behind the stone village, and the first wooden gossip he got ... Seeing the spell in the book, we speculated that the old fox knew how to raise evil spirits, and the stone pile nailed in the patio of the old mansion was probably left by the old fox to raise evil spirits in the future...

Evil... Evil... That night, Morningstar and I encountered an unknown 'thing', which I thought was an evil man, and the 'man behind the scenes' was sent to kill the old man, and we ran into it. Later, the death of Sun Kui and his wife confirmed my speculation about the 'people behind the scenes'. It's just that I've never been able to figure out why the 'people behind the scenes' know how to drive away evil spirits. At this moment, thinking of the 'Five Elements Borrowing Shou Method' used by that person to borrow Wang Accountant Yangshou, my heart suddenly lit up... Evil... Wu Xing... Could it be... Could it be that the ability of the 'behind-the-scenes' was learned from the old fox?! …

Thinking like this, I looked at the photo in my hand again, and looked at the person in the photo, who looked very similar to the old man who sold newspapers, the old man's brother. The heart said, is he the 'man behind the scenes'? The 'master' of the sixth? Because he knew that the sixth child betrayed him, he used his dead ghost son who fell to death in the kindergarten and killed him? …

"Ah Leng, did you think of something?" Yuxin asked.

I took a deep breath, sorted out all the thoughts I had just in my head, and told Yuxin as they were. The old man stood and watched us, scratching his head and squinting his eyes.

"Uncle."

"Huh?" The old man opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Where did your brother and sister-in-law move back then?" I asked.

The old man told us the name of a county in Linshi, and as for the specific location, the old man said that he did not know.

I looked at the time, it was not yet eleven o'clock in the morning, and Chong Yuxin said, "Without further ado, let's hurry up and go to that county to look for it." ”

Yuxin nodded, and I called the master back, only to say that I had found a clue and wanted to go to Linshi with Yuxin. Then I called Morning Star again, and Morning Star didn't say anything, just told us to be careful.

After hanging up the phone, Yuxin and I drove out of the city quickly. At eleven o'clock, we came to the boundary of the city, and then it was not long before we came to the ancient canal.

The so-called ancient canal is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, an important link connecting the north and the south in ancient times. In order to dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty forcibly requisitioned millions of river workers from the people, and countless people were buried in the river due to fatigue and cruelty. Therefore, since the beginning of history, various versions of supernatural legends have been circulating on both sides of the ancient canal.

Following a road south of the canal embankment, we galloped towards the county town that the old newspaper seller had said...
