In the town guest house, next to a solid wood conference table, Song Yunshen was pacing with his hands on his shoulders, and Song Chunyu stood aside, not daring to say a word. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Song Yunshen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Jiang, you are finally back." ”

"What the hell is going on?" After Jiang Xian sat down, he immediately said.

After this period of understanding, they all know very well that the five surnames of Huang, Chen, Deng, Zhou, and Yu are the management of Duck Valley. The current sacrifices are Huang Yamei, Chen Taiya, Deng Buda, Zhou Anen, and Yu Zhuou five female patriarchs. After the establishment of the Xinhua Kingdom, he used his own real name and the surname of the clan as his own name - such a village with inheritance, the status of the patriarch is very stable, and the five patriarchs almost never leave the village. Suddenly disappearing is simply unrealistic!

Unless...... It's something wrong with them.

"Death is Vermilion, one of the five sacrifices." Song Yunshen lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said solemnly: "Director Li of the police station has already reported it. Look. ”

Jiang Xian quickly opened the paper bag, only glanced at it, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Inside is a series of photographs, very clear. And the photo is ...... It was a corpse dressed in the costumes of the Alpine tribe.

The skin was broken, and the corpse looked like a broken silicone doll, pitted and pitted – a dent that had been emptied. In some places, there were even white bones leaking out, and there were blood-red muscles on them.

At this moment, a trace of doubt flashed in Jiang Xian's mind, this was not the hand of the grass ghost woman with the golden-faced ghost, the golden-faced ghost did not devour anything, and only bones were left everywhere he passed...... So, where did the grass ghost woman with the golden-faced ghost go? Could it be Zhu Ou himself?

This is even more impossible, the golden-faced ghost is the king of a hundred insects, unless the Miao Jiang Gu Master, the Gu worms of other Gu masters will only retreat when they encounter it. If Zhu Ou had the golden-faced ghost, she would never have died under the other Gu worms.

Myself...... What was overlooked?

But now is not the time to think about this, he looked at the photo for dozens of seconds, put down the photo, and said categorically: "This is Zhu Ou." It was the grass ghost woman who killed her, and more than one person did it. In other words, they were infighting. ”

Song Chunyu said: "I heard the people in the town say that Zhu Ou is the most willing to accept the sacrifice of reform and opening up. often communicates with the town, and once revealed that the village is becoming more and more dissatisfied with her. Oh, by the way, in addition to the crested gull, Buda sometimes comes. ”

Jiang Xian shook his head: "It doesn't matter how Zhu Ou died. The important thing is why as soon as the vermilion gull died, they immediately held a dwarf spirit sacrifice. It's still a few days before the festival takes place. What are they anxious about? Or rather...... In a hurry to hide what? ”

No one could answer, and there was silence.

"Perhaps, I can give you some ideas." At this moment, a female voice sounded at the door, and Lin Ruoxue walked in wearing a white leather windbreaker and a black suit.

Her hair was shorter, combed into a small braid and tied behind her head, and she did not draw any outfits or jewelry. This kind of dress is obviously prepared for all kinds of preparations.

How did she get here?

Jiang Xian frowned slightly, she didn't even know where she was going, how did she find this place?

However, his mind just turned slightly, and he immediately found the answer, and looked at Song Yunshen with a light sigh: "There is no such thing in the contract." ”

"Mr. Jiang." Song Yunshen restrained his smile, took a sip of the teacup, and said slowly: "I'm a businessman. ”

"Of course, businessmen have to make guaranteed investments. Those who died in the 003 area were all elites in the archaeological community. This is the second time I have started 003, and of course I will use it if there are masters. ”

"Besides, I didn't take the initiative to invite Miss Lin, she took the initiative to ask me through Mr. Dong. It shows that Mr. Dong and Mr. Lin both agreed. From my point of view, I have no reason not to allow her to come. ”

Jiang Xian frowned: "But the exploration list is up to me." ”

"Of course." Song Yunshen made a gesture of please: "I will never put a beak in this matter." Professional things naturally have to be done by professional people - provided that you can convince Miss Lin. ”

Jiang Xian scolded secretly, turned his head to look at Lin Ruoxue, and did not smile at all. Instead, he looked at his watch: "You have twenty minutes to convince me." ”

Lin Ruoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, she and Jiang Xian had always laughed and scolded when they met, and it was the first time she saw the other party so serious.

Of course, she knew that she would not be happy to come suddenly, but after thinking about it for a long time, she still came.

For this kind of man, the bird is useless, because he will choose what he thinks is best for the other party based on his own machismo: for example, instead of letting the other person be hurt, he should choose to leave himself - as he used to do.

If you want to capture the heart of this wild horse, you must be able to keep up with him.

"You need me." Lin Ruoxue pointed to her ears: "I am the heir of heaven and earth, I only have the wrong name, not the wrong number." I don't dare to say that I have reached the step of my grandfather and grandfather, but the strength of the sixth or seventh layer is only a lot more. ”

"As you all know, there is a legend here called the mountain god playing drums. It only appears in winter and disappears after the Dwarf Festival. Moreover, before each dwarf spirit sacrifice, Zhangcun Town has to buy more than ten tons of live livestock from the surrounding areas. ”

"One of the villagers told me that the meat was offered to the Da Ai people...... Strangely, if the Gaoshan tribe of Duck Pass did not eat these sacrifices, a large number of meat would naturally rot, and the taste could not be concealed at all. If sacrifices are eaten, where are the hundreds of tons of bones for so many years? The duck col is not big. ”

She lit a lady's cigarette, and every word seemed to hit someone's heart: "In other words, these dozen tons of cattle and sheep disappeared out of thin air." ”

"With this mentality, I listened to the drumming of the mountain god for a full six hours last night. There is a speculation. ”

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The so-called mountain god, what if it is a huge beast? ”

Jiang Xian glanced at her silently and did not speak, while Song Yunshen and Song Chunyu gasped in unison and glanced at each other, no one could hide the shock in their eyes.

Knocking on the Mountain...... How big is that?

Lin Ruoxue continued: "This percussion rhythm is not static, but slowly accelerating. May I understand it this way: The 'mountain god' is very irritable. It's urging—urging the people's tribute, how come it hasn't arrived yet. And those livestock, if they were eaten by the mountain gods, that would explain why the bodies could not be found. ”

Silent.

For a moment, everyone in the room was thoughtful. Even Song Chunyu came to a simple and straightforward judgment, and he said in disbelief: "What do you mean...... Dwarf Sacrifice ...... In fact, it is a sacrifice to this mountain god? ”

Everyone couldn't help but look out the window, the rolling mountains, lush in the sun, but they couldn't help but make people shiver.

Song Yunshen and Adam's apple moved violently, even if it was him, he felt a chill down his spine at the moment. Suppressing his beating heart, he said hoarsely: "Knocking on the mountain giant beast...... The tribe that fed it for more than 2,000 years...... Champion Guardian ...... Are you sure you're right? ”

Little Duck Col...... Hiding such an earth-shattering secret?

Jiang Xian shook his head: "It's just a possibility." This is the most logical explanation at the moment: it perfectly explains why the mountain god drumming only happens in winter, and it also explains why the dwarf spirit festival is carried out immediately - once we don't connect the mountain god drumming and the dwarf spirit sacrifice, and then solve the mystery of 003, I'm afraid we will have to wait until next year! ”

All eyes looked at Song Yunshen. He took a deep breath, slapped one hand on the table, and licked his lips: "Let it go!" ”

"I'll take care of everything!"

………………………………

Everyone left the room. Jiang Xian took the first step.

Closing the door, Lin Ruoxue thought about it, and first went to her car and took out a wooden box nearly two meters long. Only then did he walk to Jiang Xian's car, and walked to the back of the car skillfully, and sure enough, he saw the other party who was smoking.

Bang - the box smashed in front of him, Jiang Xian didn't raise his eyebrows, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't think about bribing ......"

Before I finished speaking, Lin Ruoxue opened the box as if she hadn't heard it. It contained a black umbrella. And it's a complete black umbrella.

…… It's not that I don't want to care, it's that the insider gives too much...... Jiang Xian swallowed his saliva very spinelessly, coughed lightly and stroked the umbrella surface. It feels cold and silky on the hand and is extremely resilient. He was stunned and said in surprise: "Heavenly silk?!" ”

Lin Ruoxue smiled, raised her head like a proud peacock, and her snow-white neck formed a graceful arc: "Do you like it?" ”

Jiang Xian's eyes were a little hot, he grabbed it and waved it lightly, and the black umbrella suddenly opened. The umbrella bones inside are like white jade, and they are crystal clear.

"It's the best alloy." Lin Ruoxue raised her chin towards the handle of the umbrella: "Just wait for you to put it into the sheath." ”

The position of the handle of the umbrella is left with a hole. Jiang Xian picked up the dragon and inserted it, not a single point!

Just as he was looking at the new umbrella happily, a fragrant breeze wafted in, and Lin Ruoxue rested her head on his shoulder, because of her height, she was more like leaning on his arm. She didn't mind at all, and said quietly: "You are a sharp blade, I am a scabbard, and if the blade is in the sheath, you can't run around, understand?" ”

Jiang Xian's hand holding the umbrella paused. After a long time, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, hesitated a few times, but still opened my eyes and said: "I also heard some clues when the mountain god played the drum, but I didn't think so deeply. The stakes here can be high, and you shouldn't come. ”

"That's not going to work." Lin Ruoxue chuckled lightly and turned to leave: "If I don't come, who will tie your head?" ”
