Chapter 9: Suspicion
"Is this the scene where Dayu killed Xiangliu?" Looking at the magnificent huge mural in front of him, Luo Fu muttered to himself in surprise.
"Legend records that Dayu cast Jiuding Town in Kyushu, this man based on Jiuding must be Dayu!" Lu Xiu pointed to the mural and looked at Luo Fu and Fan Xiaoye.
"This is Dayu, he is too powerful, Xiangliu has killed such a terrifying thing by him, it's too powerful!" Fan Xiaoye looked at the scene on the mural and exclaimed loudly.
This shout immediately attracted everyone, Hao Dong and Qian Hao were the most uncontrollable, they ran over at once, and shouted urgently: "Where, where? Let me see." ”
Immediately afterward, everyone gathered around.
Seeing that everyone was paying so much attention, Fan Xiaoye couldn't help but say proudly: "Look, this is it." That monster is Xiangliu, and the one on the top is Dayu. ”
Fan Xiaoye shook his head as he spoke, as if a tour guide was introducing everyone.
Everyone looked in the direction Fan Xiaoye pointed out, and they all saw a scene on the mural.
After reading it, Qian Hao, who was crowded at the front, said: "It seems that this Xiangliu is nothing remarkable, he was killed by Dayu so easily!" When the others heard this, they didn't care, but there were still people who showed a look of approval, such as Meng Shuangshuang and Zhao Rou.
Qian Hao saw that his statement was agreed, and he suddenly became even more proud. It's just that he didn't notice that there was a pair of resentful eyes staring at him fiercely behind him, and then the man looked at Dayu in the mural, his eyes were even more resentful, and there was a faint flash of red light. But there was still a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes. After a few glances, the man withdrew his gaze and returned to normal. And this scene happened to be seen by Lu Xiu, who was paying attention to him.
"Hmph! Xiangliu is not a big deal, that is also a scorer. You thought you were Dayu, and asked you to go, and Xiangliu swallowed you at once. Hao Dong, who was a little wrong with Qian Hao, sneered on the side.
"Hmph!" Qian Hao immediately snorted coldly, but it was not easy to refute, what Hao Dong said was the truth, so he had to hold his breath and not speak.
"Brother Hao is actually not wrong, Xiangliu is so powerful, it is not that he was killed by Dayu, but Dayu is too powerful. Guan Qiang, who followed Qian Hao's side, said.
As soon as he spoke, Qian Hao's expression also recovered a little, and he also spoke: "It's true that Dayu is too powerful, and that person here can kill Xiangliu." ”
Hao Dong didn't bother to argue, so he ignored it.
"Everyone said that Xiangliu was killed by Dayu, so what did we encounter?"
Standing at the back of the crowd, Rosie suddenly asked a sharp question.
"That's right, isn't it Xiangliu that we met, and it seems to have nine heads?" Zhao Rou and Meng Shuangshuang beside Luo Xi showed puzzled expressions, and Meng Shuangshuang asked.
"Maybe there is more than one Xiangliu?" Qian Hao sang the opposite tune again.
"No, Xiang Liu is recorded in the history books as the Minister of Communism, and he is referred to alone, just like people, do you think there will be two of you?" Luo Fu opened his mouth to object, and asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
Qian Hao couldn't speak for a while, after all, he didn't know much about those ancient histories, and he was speechless when he heard Luo Fu's words.
"But the Xiangliu we met is indeed nine heads, and this mural depicts Xiangliu being beheaded by Dayu, how can this be explained?" Hao Dong asked puzzled.
"Could it be that the severed head has grown back, these monsters are so powerful, maybe there are some magical powers that have been reborn from severed limbs. Rosie joined the discussion and voiced her guess. I have to say that Rosie's guess is still very tenable, and many people nodded in agreement, which is indeed in line with their ideas.
"Well, there is indeed such a possibility, Xiangliu's ability is not something we can guess, and it is not strange to have this kind of magical power. Lu Xiu stood aside and watched everyone arguing silently, but now he felt that it was almost the same, and spoke.
"But ......"
As soon as the words changed, Lu Xiu felt that it was time to say something about his discovery.
"Brother Xiu, but what?" Fan Xiaoye couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that there was no more to say it.
Lu Xiu didn't say his thoughts directly, he first looked at the people who were also looking at him, and asked: "If Xiang Liu has the magic power of rebirth of a broken limb, do you think Dayu will not know? Could it be that with his ability to reach the sky, since he can cut off a head of Xiang Liu, he can't let Xiang Liu's head never grow back?"
As soon as he said this, several of the crowd shrank their pupils, and the others were stunned for a moment, and then began to ponder.
"It's really possible, but according to what you say, isn't there only eight heads in Xiangliu, so what about the nine heads we saw earlier?" Luo Xi nodded to Lu Xiu for the first time, and then threw out her doubts. This is also the doubt of other people, although it is reasonable according to Lu Xiu's statement, it is different from what they have seen before.
Lu Xiu felt that the time was almost up, a light smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Which of you has seen the nine-headed Xiangliu again? That's just our reasoning." ”
"That's right! Luo Fu and I only saw seven strange snakes merged into a phase willow with seven heads, and we really didn't see nine head phase willows! But Luo Fu's speculation is also correct, there are nine of us, and the nine strange snakes together are not Xiang Liu with nine heads?" Fan Xiaoye listened to Lu Xiu's words, nodded in agreement, and then said as if talking to himself.
"Isn't it?" "Isn't it ......?"
Fan Xiaoye was still struggling with the question of how many heads Xiang Liu had in the end, Luo Fu and Luo Xi screamed at the same time, as if they had discovered something terrifying, and they all looked at Lu Xiu, looking for something in their eyes.
Lu Xiu didn't speak, looked at the eyes of the two of them for verification, and nodded slightly.
After receiving Lu Xiu's reply, Luo Fu and Luo Xi were both stunned and didn't say a word.
"What is it, Brother Xiu, what are you talking about, why can't I understand?" Fan Xiaoye asked with a puzzled look when he saw Luo Fu and Lu Xiu's words and deeds.
Not to mention him, the others are no better, they are all puzzled, and they don't know what Lu Xiu is selling.
"If there are indeed only eight heads left, then it means that one of the nine of us was not brought by Xiangliu, or maybe he is Xiangliu!"
Lu Xiu threw out a bombshell, which undoubtedly set off a storm in everyone's hearts.
Some of them are fake, and maybe they may even be the incarnation of Xiangliu.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but distance themselves from the people around them, and looked at each other vigilantly. Even Meng Shuangshuang and Zhao Rou, who seemed to give people a sense of dependence on each other before, separated for a distance and looked at each other vigilantly.
"Don't panic, if Xiangliu is among us, there are too many chances to kill us, and with its ability, do you think we can resist?" Lu Xiu began to stabilize everyone's mood, he said that this was not to make everyone panic and suspicion, but just to make them ready. Moreover, he actually said these words to Xiang Liu.
"Then why didn't you say he killed us?" Qian Hao looked at Lu Xiu and asked with the same vigilant expression. After speaking, he looked at the others, thinking of what he said in front of everyone before, Xiang Liu was just like this, and suddenly shivered, only to feel a chill down his back, and his legs and stomach couldn't help shaking!
"Then I don't know, maybe there are restrictions, maybe there is any purpose, who knows?" Lu Xiu helplessly spread his hands and looked at everyone meaningfully.
"There's no way around it now, just take it one step at a time. And that's just a guess, maybe Soyanagi himself restored the head? Now that we're here, let's take a good look here and see what else we have. Lu Xiu spoke again.
After listening to Lu Xiu's words, everyone's expressions did not ease much, as long as they thought that Xiang Liu might be by their side, their every move, word and deed was watched by it, everyone was hairy and their backs were cold. The most scared person is Qian Hao, he can't wait to slap himself a few times now, who calls himself so cheap, and he is quick to talk for a while!
Qian Hao looked at everyone carefully, for fear that someone would suddenly turn into Xiangliu and swallow him.
Lu Xiu ignored them, called Luo Fu and Fan Xiaoye, and continued to walk along the stone wall inside.
Soon, Lu Xiu found that after the murals of Dayu and Xiangliu, the murals on the stone walls were generally more magnificent, and there was a feeling of being deeply trapped in them at a glance. Every character in the mural feels no weaker than Dayu, and naturally the monsters they face are also strange and terrifying!
Lu Xiu guessed that each of these monsters was probably at the same level as Xiang Liu!
Some of the characters in it, Lu Xiu, guessed their identities, but some of them had never seen them, and they had never found their corresponding characters in the legends.
"Lu Xiu, I have seen these murals, there are a few characters who know, they are the three emperors and five emperors of the ancient era, Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong, Yellow Emperor, Yao Shunyu and others, but the others don't know, is it also a character in myths and legends?"
Luo Fu, who was following behind Lu Xiu, suddenly asked Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu turned his head, glanced at Luo Fu seriously, and suddenly smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will change?"
Luo Fu didn't expect Lu Xiu to suddenly ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied: "If you want to say who is Xiangliu, it may be me, after all, I didn't come with you, and it appeared suddenly." ”
After a pause for a few seconds, Luo Fu looked at Lu Xiu and asked rhetorically, "Don't you suspect that I am Xiangliu?"
Lu Xiu shook his head with a smile and said, "I suspected before, but now I can't!"
Then Lu Xiu looked at Fan Xiaoye again and asked, "Xiaoye, aren't you afraid that Luo Fu and I are Xiangliu?"
"Uh...... If Brother Xiu and Brother Luo are Xiangliu, then I will admit it, but can you not eat me?" Fan Xiaoye shook his head and said heartlessly, causing Lu Xiu and Luo Fu to laugh loudly.
"Let's go, let's go ahead. Without talking about this topic again, Lu Xiu greeted the two of them.
"Well, let's go! Let's see what's up ahead. Luo Fu replied, as if he had forgotten what he had just talked about.
Fan Xiaoye didn't shout, and followed Lu Xiu and Luo Fu with a smile on his face.
