Chapter Forty-Seven: The Task of Testing Courage

On that night more than 20 years ago, the villagers of Tuwen Village died tragically, leaving only Ma Mingxiang, Hu Lianli, Su Daoqin, and Hu Yumei.

The next day, Hu Lianli poisoned Su Daoqin and hacked Hu Yumei to death, and now Hu Lianli is also dead, leaving only Ma Mingxiang alone......

"Sure enough, it's you, a beast! What good the hell is it to you that the villagers are dead?! ”

Although Wu Dan had long suspected Ma Mingxiang, he was still a little shocked to hear him say it in person.

Ma Mingxiang stood at the door and was speechless for a while, thought for a long time, and blurted out: "There is no benefit, killing people is just a simple hobby of mine......"

“……”

Wu Dan leaned against the iron gate and hesitated for a while: "He clearly told me in the Great Emperor Mountain that the villagers were obviously killed by that ghost couple." ”

"Now Ma Mingxiang says that the villagers were killed by him, which sentence is true and which sentence is false?"

Wu Dan kicked the door vigorously: "Okay, then tell me, what means did you use to put the whole village of more than 100 people to death?" ”

Ma Mingxiang didn't answer Wu Dan's question, he stood at the door and said meaningfully: "Little monster, Lao Tzu really thinks highly of you, a little brat......

He smiled weirdly and left the firewood room silently.

"Is he really a murderer? Why doesn't Su Daoqin have any memories of Ma Mingxiang? ”

"Now that Ma Mingxiang has admitted it himself, what I have to do now is to escape from the firewood house as soon as possible and run to the town to call the police."

Wu Dan carefully observed the environment in the firewood house, this airtight house, even the skylight is not designed, the eaves are very high, and there are many things in the house, but there is nothing to use, and the possibility of escape is completely non-existent.

Wu Dan was already a little thirsty, and looked at the two bowls of water hesitantly.

"Agricultural poisons in rural areas generally have a taste, and the color of the water should also change when mixed with water."

She picked up the two bowls of water and looked closely: the water was very clear, except for some subtle moss in the bowl on the left.

She sniffed the water in each of the two bowls carefully, but neither bowl tasted.

"Pesticides can't be colorless and tasteless, and the water in Maming Township shouldn't be pesticides......"

She looked at the two bowls of water in front of her and hesitated.

In the end, she chose to pick up the bowl of moss-laden water on the left and drank it with a "grunt".

"The water from the river flows through the pipe to the village, and it's normal for a little moss to fall."

U Thant was gambling, and she guessed that the bowl of water was taken from the water pipe based on the moss in the left bowl.

The facts told Wu Dan that this time she won the bet. After drinking the bowl of water, she didn't show anything unusual.

The sunlight formed a small pillar of light through the gaps in the tiles, reflecting in the firewood room, and when Wu Thant saw this pillar of light, his heart was filled with hope, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"I can't let Dad, Uncle Xiang, and the hundred or so villagers in Tuwen Village die in vain!"

U Thant had already figured out that if he wanted to get in touch with the police in the town, he had to compromise with Ma Minh Township, agree to his request for the time being, and then deal with him.

……

In the evening, Ma Mingxiang went to the firewood house again to deliver water, but this time there were two more moldy steamed buns.

"Little monster, one of these two bowls of water is still poisoned by me, but you can eat these two steamed buns with confidence, although they are moldy, but I have not poisoned ......"

Wu Dan picked up the two bowls of water, and she found that there was no moss in the two bowls of water this time.

"Has he lost his patience?"

She threw the two bowls of water on the ground and shouted, "Ma Mingxiang! I've thought about it, I'm willing to practice the Dao art of the Yinshan Sect with you...... You can let me out! ”

Ma Mingxiang laughed outside for a long time, and hurriedly opened the door of the firewood room.

"it!"

Seeing Wu Dan's appearance, Ma Mingxiang was also taken aback.

"What are you afraid of, it's not a good thing you've done?!"

Ma Mingxiang wiped his sweat: "I didn't expect that the human skin mask has merged with your face, so you also have the memories of Su Daoqin's life." ”

The two deep black holes on Wu Dan's face kept facing Ma Mingxiang, and she said coldly: "Ma Mingxiang, I have agreed to your request, you can always take off the human skin mask on my face." ”

He and Wu Dan walked towards the hall house, and said as they walked, "You have the qualifications to practice the Dao art of the Yinshan Sect, but you don't have the courage to practice it. ”

"Before practicing the Yinshan Sect Taoism, Lao Tzu will give you a task to test your courage, the task is very dangerous, and the price of giving up halfway is death."

"This test of courage is related to Tuwen Village, as long as this task is successfully completed, you may know the reason for the tragic death of the villagers of Tuwen Village overnight."

"Of course, if you don't complete the Courage Test, you will disappear and be ......forgotten by the world like Tuwen Village."

Wu Dan was stunned when he heard Ma Mingxiang's words: "The reason for the tragic death? Mysterious disappearance? Forgotten by the world? What is this......"

When they came to the hall, Ma Mingxiang put three sticks of incense on the ancestor of Sanqing and burned a few knives of paper.

On the table are the Heavenly Master Seal, Master Knife, Yin Yang Hexagram, and Ox Horn that Ma Mingxiang took from Wu Shiqing's house...... He packed them into a toolbox.

He handed the toolbox to Wu Dan: "Wu Shiqing should have taught you how to use these things." ”

"The location of this test of courage is the abandoned Dongfeng Private Middle School in the town."

"Not only is the mission dangerous, but it's also very difficult, so you can take these things with you to defend yourself."

Wu Dan knew a lot about Dongfeng Private Middle School from Su Daoqin's memory: cursed love letters in the classroom, accidents in the laboratory, students who committed suicide by jumping off buildings en masse, and crying in the toilet in the middle of the night......

Wu Dan's scalp tingled: "When will the mission be carried out?" ”

"Tomorrow night, as long as you can survive until dawn alone, Lao Tzu will complete your mission."

"The task of testing courage must be completed by you alone, and Lao Tzu will not accompany you to the town tomorrow......"

Wu Dan was overjoyed, Ma Mingxiang didn't follow her, she could take this opportunity to go to the police station to report the case.

Ma Mingxiang seemed to see through Wu Dan's thoughts, and he looked at Wu Dan with sharp eyes: "Little monster, don't play tricks on Lao Tzu, everything about you will not be out of my control." ”

"How dare I play tricks......"

"Do you have any hints for tomorrow night's test of courage?" U Thant quickly changed the subject.

"Su Daoqin's memory is the best hint......"

"The villagers already think you're dead, and with that human skin mask on your face, no one will recognize you, and tomorrow you can walk around the village generously."

Ma Mingxiang locked the hall, "Okay, you can go to sleep......"
