Chapter 52: The Second Acquaintance

Shut up!

The person behind the scenes, the dumb, the divine son of God, the Taoist who is incomparably advanced in witchcraft and spells, the yellow stone who is almost seventy years old and has caused countless harms, is Guan Zheng! That Guan Zheng, who is already dead!

As soon as the photos on his phone were seen by Wanli, the memories blocked by the injury in his mind were suddenly stimulated to recover. On the night he lost consciousness, the face that had maliciously appeared outside the window of the wooden building immediately came to his mind, it was the person in the photo, Guan Zheng!

"Isn't he—dead?" Xiao Xia asked in shock, "He was forensically dissected!" It was also sent for cremation. His memorial service was organized by me! ”

"His magic and mana are so high, it's entirely possible to hide from the police and give the medical examiner hallucinations that have already been dissected. And Huang Boheng is a rich man and the behind-the-scenes donor of the Helping Hand Office, Guan Zheng's posthumous affairs were done at their expense, and you just helped him hold a memorial service. Too many of these links can be faked with money! Ruan Zhan explained.

"But how did you think it was him?" Wan Li asked, "I have to admire you against my will." ”

"It's not through some sophisticated reasoning, it's just a feeling." Ruan Zhan said honestly, "I have sorted out all the people and things related to this matter, as long as there is a little connection, I assume that he is the person behind the scenes, and finally rule it out, and the result is that only Guan Zheng's line is blurred, so I will show you his photos, after all, you have seen him." Fortunately, Xiao Xia took a picture of him with his mobile phone. ”

"I didn't expect her to mess around and make clues." Wanli patted Xiao Xia's head, "Did you find it, although she is a pot smasher, but she is a lucky general, and many things are caused by her mistakes to lead to clues to solve the problem." Therefore, Gu Long said it well: those who are naturally beautiful and those who are naturally smart are not as good as those who are born lucky. Our little summer is. ”

"No kidding." Xiao Xia was still a little incredulous, "But how do you think there is something wrong with him?" She asked Ruan Zhan.

"Because he's dead! Because he has always stayed out of the matter, in the real darkness, but he is inextricably linked to this matter. Do you think who approached you, who brought you into this matter, who led you into this forest, who came into contact with these cases of elder abuse, and who had a close relationship with Huang Boheng? Sherlock Holmes said it well: if you exclude the impossible, then the rest of the one, however implausible, is possible. ”

"But what is his purpose?"

"Then after finding him, let him say it himself, or let our amazing psychiatrist analyze it."

"Let him speak for himself." Wanli shrugged, "I'm worried about how to lure him out and then defeat him?" ”

"Don't lure him out, he'll find us." Ruan Zhan sneered, "What we want to do is to defeat the strong with the weak again, we have done it many times before, and this time it will definitely be okay." ”

"Then let's go back and wait for the rabbit now! No, it was the rabbit who pretended to be dead and then kicked to death the eagle that wanted to eat him! Wanli stood up and pulled Natsu up.

"You go back first, I'm going to go to the village chief and let him see Guan Zheng's photo, I'm completely sure that Ah Mu is Guan Zheng!"

"Okay, I'll go back and put on that wedding dress." Xiao Xia suddenly said, "I want to try to ask Abaya to communicate with me again with hallucinations, tell me more things, maybe I can help you." ”

……

Sitting cross-legged on the altar, Abaya was dressed in a red robe embroidered with strange characters, wearing a crown of feathers adorned with red and white beads, and her hands gracefully pinched the decision, and her mouth was reciting something softly.

There are some special objects around her, such as the skulls of various animals, but they are decorated with flowers, perhaps because of the relationship between her gentle and kind face, all of which do not seem eerie and weird, but give Xiao Natsu a sense of sacredness as a bystander.

She continued to chant incantations she didn't understand, and the whispers grew louder and louder, until finally they became a kind of 'buzzing' sound, like the chirping of cicadas on a summer afternoon, noisy but serene and drowsy.

At this moment, the scenery in front of Xiao Xia's eyes shook for a while, and his feet trembled, as if there was an earthquake, and after a few seconds of calming down, Abaya stood up and uncovered the bamboo mat in front of him, revealing a huge copper basin with a diameter of more than two meters below.

The copper basin was filled with water, and as soon as the bamboo mat was opened, the water inside began to vibrate violently. It is strange that the water is so full, so shaking so much, that the water does not even spill half a drop.

Ah Bai slowly knelt in front of the copper basin, stretched his white index finger into the water and stirred it, and the water surface immediately calmed down, rippled and unmoving, and gradually showed a silver luster, turning into a mirror that shone brightly. Xiao Xia felt that her water mirror was the same as the water basin used by the ghost in the clothes that day when she was forced to marry, but Ah Bai's water mirror was very pure and did not have the slightest demonic atmosphere.

"The disciple knows that all things have their own traces to follow, and today's prediction of tomorrow's heavenly opportunity is against the way of heaven, and it will break the yang life." She reverently said to the water mirror, "But the disciple's life is no longer than the day of the grain sacrifice this year, and it makes no difference if you live one more day or one less day." In order to make up for all the mistakes made by his disciples, he had to go against the sky, hoping that the gods of all things would give his disciples an omen, so that the disciples could arrange the aftermath, so that the mistakes of the disciples would not cause harm to others! ”

After speaking, Ah Bai hesitantly approached the basin, but stopped halfway, as if he was afraid to see what the omen revealed. But after hesitating for a moment, she leaned down.

Xiao Xia couldn't see what was shown in the basin, only saw Ah Bai looking at it seriously, but in a minute, the feather crown on her head began to tremble slightly, and finally her whole body trembled, obviously her mood changed very drastically, and she was already in tears when she raised her head.

"The disciple's sin is irreparable, please punish the God of All Things." She took a few steps back and bowed to her knees. Then he resolutely got up, took out a small embroidered purse from his waist, and put it in a dark compartment.

The location of this dark grid is different from the dark grid where Xiao Xia stored the bloodwood sword last time, it is behind the altar, it is unexpected, this simple bamboo building has so many mechanisms, and no one will look at it behind the altar, which is quite safe.

She used a special technique to open this complex mechanism, and then closed it again, and did this slowly three times, and her body kept on her side, not blocking the view of the 'bystander' Xiao Xia, as if deliberately allowing her to see clearly.

After doing this, she took out another pair of scissors, took off the crown of feathers on her head, and cut her knee-length thick black hair fiercely, twisting a large handful of hair.

Her movements were so violent and resolute that Xiao Xia screamed in horror, but when she screamed, she realized that she didn't make a sound, only to see Ah Bai soak her hair in a basin of solution that had been prepared a long time ago. The solution was a grassy green color, and Natsu could smell a strong smell of herbs and plants.

The smell made her dizzy for a moment, and the hallucinations in front of her eyes became a little blurry. This made her anxious, for fear that the connection would be severed, but fortunately, the image gradually became clear after a while of weakness. However, at this time, the environment is already the third floor of the bamboo building, and Ah Bai's dress has also changed, wearing casual clothes at home, his uneven hair has been neatly coiled on the top of his head, and he is bowing his head to embroider the wedding dress.

Xiao Xia felt that this scene was not continuous from just now, but jumped to a few days later.

She knows that the wedding dresses of ethnic minorities are embroidered for a long time, and some girls of ethnic groups even begin to embroider and make their own wedding dresses from the age of eight or nine, and they will not be completed until a few days before the wedding. And what Ah Bai did seemed to be the final finishing touch, but the silk thread she used made Xiao Xia strongly feel that it was her long hair that she had cut and soaked in a special liquid.

Is that why she left behind the hallucinations? It was she who used witchcraft to make these hairs preserve her memories, and when Xiao Xia put on this wedding dress, it would enter her heart, as if she had seen the events of the year with her own eyes! But what did Abai do wrong? What did she see in the water mirror again? Why does she only give hints but no answers? Did she get the prophecy with them?

As she was thinking, the hallucinations in front of her disappeared again, this time like a power outage, the scene was completely gone, and she also woke up at the same time, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Wanli sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her with concern.

She rolled over and sat up, and without saying a word, ran straight to the second floor, wanting to see the dark grid immediately. Wanli followed from behind, jumping all the way and shouting, "Hey, you wait, your sprained foot is not healed yet." Hey, what are you going to do, at least you have to tell me why you're running so fast. Yes? Ignore people! Sure enough, it's close to Zhu Zhe Chi, and close to Mo is black, you are now the same as Ah Zhan—"

His words stopped, because he saw Xiao Xia desperately pull open the bamboo altar that was very weighty, and opened a dark grid behind it with a very complicated and strange technique.

"Is this a hint in a hallucination?" He jumped over and asked, his face solemn.

Xiao Xia looked at Wanli and didn't speak, feeling extremely nervous for some reason, and didn't know what she was afraid of--did she have that embroidered purse in the dark or not?

"I'll get it." Wanli walked to the edge of the dark grid and slowly stretched out his hand to the dark grid.

Seeing him groping hard and carefully, Xiao Xia didn't even dare to breathe, seeing him pause, he slowly took out his hand, and there was already a small embroidered purse in his hand. Although the color and appearance are old, Xiao Xia still recognizes it at a glance, it is the one that Abaya put inside.

The wedding dress was made by Abek, so it has not faded over the years, and it is said that it will only be worn when her heart is dead, but this little purse is obviously not.

"What is this?" Xiao Xia wanted to take the purse, but Wanli dodged his hand.

"Wait for Ah Zhan to come back. Don't worry, Natsu. ”

……

It was already dark, and Ruan Zhan walked slowly on the forest path.

He had just returned from the village chief's house, and when the village chief saw the photo of Guan Zheng on his mobile phone, the shocked and frightened expression told him everything, and the village chief didn't need to say anything more.

Before leaving, the village chief only said, "He hasn't changed, he has the same eyes as he did that night." ”

That is to say, when Xiao Xia took pictures with his mobile phone, he had already designed to kill people! As for the motive, Ruan Zhan believes that there is a deep reason, but there is no need to consider it at the moment, his behavior is no different from those perverts.

He didn't give the village any protective measures, he believed that all Guan Zheng's energy would be focused on them, because the people in the village had already taken revenge! His purpose now is just to let the three of them know everything about him, and then bury them in the mountains and forests forever like that secret from years ago, and then take Xiao Xia from his hands and Wan Li, and be his slave forever!

Since the target is them, as long as they stay away from the village, they will not bring disaster to others!

He didn't use the space-time warping technique, because the Gu he attracted from Wan Li's body was about to move, and if he used his mana excessively, he might not be able to suppress this Gu again. He has no right to lie down, this matter is going to end after all.

He walked slowly, thinking about what to do next, but halfway through, he suddenly felt a movement ahead. He didn't look up, and immediately judged that it was the jungle freak Awu.

"Stand still, I won't arrest you or ask you any questions. I just want to tell you something. ”

As he spoke, the grass around him stirred in a panic, and it was clear that Awu had fled quickly. However, Ruan Zhan stood still, he knew that she would come back, because he felt that the reason why she appeared here must have been to follow him to the village chief's house, and she knew that the mystery was about to be revealed, and she was just as worried as a corner of this dark secret.

Sure enough, the breath of humans in the grass slowly approached again.

"I already know that all this is all yellow stone, and he is dumb to do it, and his name in the city is Guan Zheng." Ruan Zhan's eyes looked at the stars in the sky, and he didn't look at the grass, "I don't know why he did that, but the three Ngawang brothers were killed by him, the murders in the city were committed by him, and the tragedy in the mountain village many years ago was also committed by him." It was he who cast a death Gu on my friend, and he also played a ghost Gu on another friend of mine, but I will never allow it. ”

He paused, feeling that Awu had not left, "I also know that you and he are both Abayaban's apprentices, I know that Abaya Ban has a ghost husband, and I know about the Miao bride and even the groom, in short, I know everything about him, and I'm not afraid." Now you can go, because I don't need your help with anything. But stay away, don't come out! ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his leg and left, but there was a strange sound behind him, as if Awu wanted him to stay, but hesitated.

"Is there anything you can help with?" Feeling Awu's panic, Ruan Zhan sighed in his heart.

"He's - very- great." Ah Wu finally shuddered and spoke, his voice extremely small, "Maybe he's hiding behind some vine tree and staring at you!" ”

"I'll let him know that I'm great too!" Ruan Zhan said arrogantly and coldly.

He had never said that before, but this time he was extremely angry, because Guan Zheng hurt Wanli and wanted to take Xiao Xia away from him!

"He did go to the city, because my master liked him very much, and he said that he would take him out of the mountain and go to a bigger place." Awu said without a word.

Master? The man forbidden by Abaiya? That ghost husband?

"You draw circles in the air, and the spell that will disappear when you take a step will be so will my master."

Ruan Zhan's heart sank, and he finally knew who Sima Nan was?!

There can't be a second person who can do this. Even if someone would, it would not be possible to be inextricably linked to this matter, there is no such coincidence in the world!

Sima Nan turned out to be Yang Muyou! In other words, the true identity of the person who has been against him is Sima Nan!

Although his origin and what he has to do with himself are still a mystery, and whether he has anything to do with his father's death, and why he became Ah Bai's ghost husband is not clear, at least he finally knows the real name of his opponent.

"Help me!" One hand grabbed Ruan Zhan's arm from the grass, "I did something very wrong!" I caused everything! ”
