For a while, only the village chief was still holding a stick and pointing at Li Mi and the others, and even a few supporters put away their guys and swayed.

Shen Luo's famous momentum in the pampered position of the six doors was suddenly released, and she twisted her eyebrows and said: "The six doors are the direct guards of the Son of Heaven, do you want to rebel?" ”

The rest of the villagers threw down the farm tools in their hands one after another, knelt on the ground, and shouted long live Lord Taiping.

The village chief's hand also trembled, and after a while, he seemed to be sure of something, and his heart was horizontal, and he raised the stick and said, "What about the six doors?" You say yes? A few of the people present have seen the six doors, who knows whether the waist card in your hand is true or false, in case you pretend to be six doors to deceive us, wouldn't we be guilty of one more degree? ”

Li Mi didn't expect the village chief to be so clever and eloquent, and the white could be described as black, but looking at the actions of those villagers, it was obvious that they believed what the village chief said, and they all got up from the ground.

Shen Luo put away his waist card and said indifferently: "The identity has been informed to you, whether you believe it or not, it is all up to you." It's just that you have to think clearly, if we are really six doors, can we afford to be charged? ”

The village chief said: "It doesn't matter if you are true or not, take down the real murderer of the old Taoist priest, and then say, if you investigate it afterwards, I will bear it alone!" ”

The village chief put down his words, and talked about the death of the old Taoist priest, and many people in the village began to move again.

Li Mi took a step forward, came to the village chief, and said in a low voice: "I know that you are the boss in this village, and I also know that you are eager to hunt for murderers. If it weren't for the fact that you are all ordinary people, do you think these dozens of villagers carrying hoes would be able to stop the two martial arts masters? If you insist on going your own way, we will kill it if it's a big deal, and when the time comes, the six doors will really come to Quliu Village to investigate the case, and maybe something will be found, right? ”

After hearing this, a drop of cold sweat flowed from the village chief's forehead, and after a while, he raised his hand, "Get out of the way, let them go!" ”

Li Mi left with Cao Shaocheng and Shen Luo from the scattered crowd.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, the village chief said behind his back: "This is an ominous place, within seven days, you must leave, Quliu Village...... I can't afford to take any more innocent lives! ”

Li Mi paused, did not answer, and strode away.

Behind him, the village chief's hand holding the stick was bruised, and after a while, he returned to the appearance of a smile on his face, and he sighed and said, "It's all gone." ”

Back at Liu Sanxi's house, Liu Sanxi had already prepared dinner, and he didn't ask what the three of them had done in the village, just silently squatting in the courtyard holding a cigarette pouch in a daze.

In the house, the dishes on the table were sumptuous, including meat, vegetarian and porridge, and the three of them bit their ears while eating.

"The village chief of this Quliu Village is too self-righteous, he really thinks of himself as the emperor of the soil, and he is making a speech in the village?" Cao Shaocheng bit the steamed bun angrily, "I have to report to the official to catch this donkey after I go out!" ”

Shen Luo said: "This village chief has a bit of a problem, judging from his performance today, it seems that it is not only because he has some bad friends with the old Taoist priest, his real purpose is to drive us out of Quliu Village, he is covering up some secrets." ”

Li Mi nodded, but didn't have much thought yet.

At the moment, the affairs of Quliu Village are a mess, stirring like paste in my head.

The curse of the Feng family, the tragic death of the old Taoist priest, the disappearance of the cripple, and the aggressiveness of the village chief...... And the most important thing at the moment is that Cui Chu's whereabouts are still confused, and there are no clues.

Li Mi was thinking that maybe the truth was hidden in all this messy weirdness, if there was something that could explain all the weirdness, unless they all pointed to a huge secret.

And if you want to crack the secret, you have to find the key point in this mess, a thread that can thread all the weirdness through the needle and make sense.

So, where is the thread end?

Li Mi thought about it for a long time, and even the food on the table was tasteless.

In the past, when he was the captain of the criminal police, he always liked to look at the case from the overall situation, peel back the cocoon from the surface to the inside, and find out the truth.

And now, Li Mi feels that his method doesn't seem to work here.

Because the situation in Quliu Village is too big, he has a faint intuition that all the puzzles in Quliu Village point to a single point.

It is extremely difficult to analyze so many puzzles into a whole.

Therefore, Li Mi changed his thinking and decided to see the big from the small, and analyze the entire Quliu Village from the part to the whole.

The first thing to figure out is the curse of the Feng family, which is not just a curse, but the driving force behind the scenes.

Li Mi decided to visit the old house of the Feng family at night.

In the evening, after dinner, Liu Sanxi beat his waist early and went to rest, the village was lonely, and the chickens and dogs were silent.

The three figures appeared outside the courtyard of the Liu family, and after a brief exchange of heads, they left in two directions.

Shen Luo went to the old Taoist's house, not only to take the opportunity to find the secret hidden by the old Taoist, but also to wait for the man in black to fall into the net.

If the man in black fails to find the secret during the day, he will definitely not give up, and there is a high probability that he will kill him.

Li Mi and Cao Shaocheng went to the old house of the Feng family to inquire about the situation.

Under the cover of night, the old mansion of the Feng family is like a dormant flood beast, silently waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Li Mi and Cao Shaocheng waited in the distance until Liang Kuan finished delivering the meal and left, and then quietly sneaked into Feng's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Mi was pulled aside by Cao Shaocheng covering his mouth, and at the same time made a gesture to silence him.

Li Mi looked in the direction of Cao Shaocheng and was shocked.

In front of the well with a huge locust tree in the middle of the front yard, a scrawny figure was lying on it, looking straight inside.

It's the old man!

Li Mi felt strange in his heart, he didn't know what the old man didn't rest at night, and ran to this dry well to look at something.

This dry well is extremely low, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into it, and this old man is really dead.

I don't know if Liang Kuan knows this, it stands to reason that he should wait for the old man to sleep before leaving, could it be that the old man can't sleep before running to the well to look? But what fascinates an elderly person with dementia?

At this moment, Old Man Feng was turning his back to them, Li Mi and Cao Shaocheng tiptoed into the inner courtyard from behind, and then the two soldiers divided into two roads, all the way to the left side garden, all the way to the right side garden.

While Old Man Feng was still in a daze by the well, Li Mi took advantage of the moonlight to look around in the right garden.

The flowers and trees in the garden are growing wildly, and many rockeries and rain pavilions are covered with dead vines, with a murderous atmosphere, obviously no one has cleaned it up for a long time.

It is not difficult to see that the Feng family was once prosperous, but unfortunately there are unforeseen circumstances, and Li Mi also feels embarrassed by the ups and downs of the Feng family.

The granite path was cleaned up, and Li Mi suspected that this should be the place where Old Man Feng lived, so someone would clean it up.

He quietly pushed open a few doors, and all the old ash was wafting out of the room.

Li Mi covered his mouth and nose and looked at these rooms, picked up a lantern that had eaten ashes for many years, and blew it with a fire fold, and it could still be lit, anyway, there was no one in the Feng family, so he simply took it in his hand and used it for lighting.

Li Mi looked around with a lantern, and in some places he could even observe blood stains, which should have been left by the fifty-seven members of the Feng family back then.

But from beginning to end, he didn't find any clues worth paying attention to, and Li Mi looked a little bored, until he pushed open a room with clear doors and windows, and a faint sandalwood wafted into his nose.

Li Mi's spirit was shocked, this should be the residence of Old Man Feng.

He looked around, then sneaked into the room with a lantern, and looked around, there were only simple tables, chairs, and tea sets, and a piece of sandalwood stuck in the incense burner next to the bed, which must have been lit not long ago.

Li Mi rummaged around, not to mention a book in the whole room, not even pen, ink, paper and inkstone appeared, and there were no clues to be discovered.

It was a dozen portraits of people on the wall that caught his attention, these were supposed to be portraits of the Feng family, dating back generations.

Li Mi browsed them one by one, and finally found the portrait of the son of the Feng family.

The son of the Feng family is named Feng Xiu, the word is Shangwen, he looks handsome in the portrait, his face is round and small, his waist is wearing jasper, and the jade tree is in the wind.

Although the youthful aura has not faded at the time of the portrait, there is already the outline of a beautiful man between the eyebrows.

Li Mi was amazed, such a handsome young man was raised in a deep mansion compound by his family, but he looked like a golden house.

Suddenly, he was stunned when he looked at the portrait, and some messy clues in his mind were intertwined.

Li Mi seems to have seen Feng Xiu from somewhere.

He looked away and tapped his head vigorously, the familiarity that had just disappeared again.

Li Mi thought that she might have seen it in textbooks in school before, like Pan An, Wei Jue, Yu Gong and so on.

After all, the beautiful men in the world all have a virtue - the face is like a crown of jade, the jade tree is in the wind, and the grace is suave.

He turned to look elsewhere, when suddenly, a human face appeared on the lantern, and he shuddered.

It's the old man!

Li Mi was so frightened by the old man that his heart skipped half a beat, he patted his chest, let out a sigh, and was about to explain something, but the old man Feng ignored him directly and walked past him.

Li Mi looked at the lantern in a daze, and the old man Feng walked straight to the bed with dull eyes, took off his shoes and clothes, and fell asleep on the bed with his eyes closed.

Not long after, there was a slight snoring sound, and Old Man Feng had already fallen asleep.

Li Mi's hanging heart was put down, he quietly approached with a lantern, observed for a while, and confirmed that the old man was not pretending to be asleep, and then turned to leave.

Back in the courtyard, he planned to make peace with Cao Shaocheng, and when he returned the same way and passed by the ancestral hall, Li Mi inadvertently glanced inside.

This look almost made Li Mi scream, and he suddenly saw a white-robed man sitting on a Taishi chair in front of the ancestral hall, wearing a mask painted with strange patterns, staring at him with a straight waist.

Li Mi felt his scalp tingle, and suddenly bumped into something wrapped in a white robe in a haunted mansion at night, who wasn't afraid?

After calming down for a while, he plucked up the courage to carry the lantern and approached it, when a nameless wind blew in the courtyard, rolling up the sand and soil all over the courtyard.

Li Mi narrowed his eyes, dodging the sand, and when he opened his eyes again, the Taishi chair was empty.

What about the Mask Monster?
