Wang Hu's eyes suddenly showed eager greed. Like a rooster dying of thirst, he sees a small puddle on the ground and only thinks about squeezing the last essence out of it.

Qiu Shaohu suddenly tapped the table next to him, but with a slight "dang", he immediately woke the other party up from his gaffe. Looking at the anxious ugliness on the other side with an expressionless face, Qiu Shaohu said coldly: "You can't help but think too well first, haven't you thought about it, I'm from the fairy island in your mouth, why am I here at this time." ”

This sentence is like a basin of cold water for three or nine days, pouring it on his head, turning Wang Hu's heart from hot to cold in an instant. Could it be that there is something hidden in that legendary holy place of cultivation?

"Outsiders only say that the starry sky is dazzling, but they don't know where they are close to see the shortcomings of the stars. You think you've found the place you've always dreamed of, but you don't have to be happy, but I'm being chased out. ”

Qiu Shaohu is a simple sentence, but there are also countless secrets.

"You ......" Wang Hu managed so much, his mouth was dry, and he was anxious to continue to ask.

"Whoa-" The sound of water fell, and it was incessant. With a damp coolness, it suddenly came from under his feet and continued to flow along the cracks in the floor.

The two of them turned back and saw the floor outside the door, and the traces of water from nowhere were constantly washing the ground. The sound of "whoosh" is endless, like a waterfall falling.

Qiu Shaohu frowned and walked outside the door. The water on the floor has accumulated so fast that it has now submerged half of the foot, and walking on it is like stepping on a stream, with the sound of rippling water.

More water continued to flow down the ladder in the back hall, and the gurgling clarity overflowed the stairs, and for a moment it seemed to be like the legendary dragon palace wonder, with a strange purity in the night.

Only the roar of thunder was clearer, like the roar of an evil god, warning all beings.

"The roof is broken." Qiu Shaohu said: "This kind of heavy rain, if we allow water to pour in from the roof, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive tonight." ”

The sturdiness of the blistered floor and wall will be greatly reduced, and it is not impossible for it to suddenly collapse in such bad weather.

"Hey, wait for me." Seeing that Qiu Shaohu walked directly to the back hall regardless of himself, Wang Hu couldn't wait and immediately followed.

The back hall connects the backyard to the kitchen, and is separated from the guest rooms from the front hall. There is a staircase that leads to the attic and leads to the roof.

The further up the stairs you go, the faster the water flows. Later, the water gathered on the ground was almost like a torrent in the river, and people could barely move forward despite great resistance.

Fortunately, the flow of water is on the other side of the second floor, and there is still some distance from the guest room, so if it can be solved in time, it will not be affected.

At the end of the cloister, the rain was running down the walls. The wooden planks of the ceiling are constantly seeping water out of the cracks, as if a whole lake is pressed on the top, and they can't wait to flow down.

Qiu Shaohu thought for a moment and stepped forward to remove the wooden board of the ceiling. With a bang, a huge amount of rain poured out, but after a while, the flow slowed down, and although it continued to flow, it was enough for people to pass through.

Above there, a dark space, revealing profundity everywhere.

"Good fellow, it turns out that the attic is hidden on this." Wang Hu's tone was sneering, "It seems that your boss lady really has a lot of secrets." ”

"It's just an attic, usually stacked with some sundries, and it can also go straight to the roof outside, if there is any damage, it is easy to repair." Qiu Shaohu squinted at the other party and said, "Do you want to come up together?" ”

"Don't, I'll wait for you here, I'll ask again when you're repaired." Of course, Wang Hu will not go up easily, it is strange everywhere right now, two people have died one after another, so he naturally has to be more careful. Although the news of the fairy island is very tempting, you can only enjoy it if you have your own life.

Greedy for life and afraid of death, without foresight.

Qiu Shaohu gave an evaluation in his heart.

Because if this ruffian really cares so much about the news about the so-called "fairy island", he should follow him every step of the way and find ways to help him, and it is best to make himself owe favors to others. Only then will he have the opportunity to get more useful information from himself.

Qiu Shaohu didn't care about him, climbed up to the mezzanine of the roof, and followed a narrow road to the top attic.

A thick damp and cold air enveloped the surroundings, and through the faint light of the oil lamp in his hand, he could see that the original accumulated debris was still left untouched. The rain on the ground was flowing everywhere, soaking the floor, and after walking through, there was a "creaking" sound that only occurs after the wooden planks have been soaked in water, and it looks a little shaky.

At the end of the stream, a glimmer of light penetrated the tiles of the eaves and "stood" on the ground like a hazy pillar of light. Countless raindrops poured in from there, drifting and refracting all kinds of light, like stars holding the moon.

However, the glimmer was not moonlight, but a thunderbolt of thunder piercing the night sky. Just separated by a layer of tiles, Qiu Shaohu could feel the roar above his head, as if he had been under the power of heaven, isolated and helpless, and could only be squeezed and crushed by the power of this heaven little by little.

Knowing where the damage is, it is naturally much easier. There were already a lot of tools here, such as replacement tiles, masonry and hammers, pickaxes, etc., and after taking them, Qiu Shaohu didn't have much effort to repair the hole in the roof of the building.

There was no more rainwater leakage, and the water on the top floor began to dry up slowly, and it didn't take long for it to completely fade.

Patting the ashes of the work on his hands, Qiu Shaohu packed up the things he was working on, but when he got the replaced broken tile, his hand couldn't help but stop.

The edges of the two tiles were extremely regular, and the sharp fractures remained strong, as if they had been deliberately carved.

This is not at all a deterioration due to disrepair, but more like it was artificially broken with some kind of tool.

Someone has been here.

What are you here for? What's the point of just breaking a hole in the roof? After Qiu Shaohu thought about it, he continued to illuminate the surroundings with an oil lamp, trying to find more clues.

Soon, the accumulation of mud on the ground made him suspicious.

No one came up to the attic for a long time, and it was natural that a lot of ashes had been piled up, and they all turned into wet mud after soaking in water.

However, the soil here is a triangular accumulation, with two rows stretching towards a corner.

There is no doubt that this should have been a footprint. The soles of the feet stepped on the ashes on the ground, and the uneven pressure on the soles of the feet compacted a part of the ashes, leaving such marks after the blisters.

Following this line of imprints, Qiu Shaohu explored forward. Eventually, a piece of cloth was found lying flat on the ground, and when he lifted it, a palm-sized puppet inside immediately appeared in the light of an oil lamp.

Qiu Shaohu immediately felt the urge to gag, mainly because this puppet was really weird and disgusting.

It was carved into the shape of a skull with human eyes, and the limbs were pieced together from fingers, toes, and other parts, and a fragment of a human liver was used to make the main part of the body, and this evil doll was made.

Just looking at those fingers, Qiu Shaohu judged that they came from at least four different people, which means that just by making such a puppet that he didn't know what to say, four people died tragically.

Such cruel methods are also terrifying enough.

Qiu Shaohu frowned, and while thinking, he suddenly felt a cold feeling coming towards his back.

It's like a person silently walking up behind you and trying to say hello to you.

However, this person does not bring any warmth.

The feeling of coming seemed to be slow, but it was actually incomparably fast, winding towards Qiu Shaohu's body.

However, in an instant, Qiu Shaohu leaned over quickly, feeling a cold aura passing by, and he could avoid this blow.

A rune appeared in his hand at the same moment, placed it on the flame of the oil lamp and lit it, and instantly burned into a raging flame, devouring the black shadow.

The flames soared into the sky, as if they had their own will, chasing after the shadow. The shadows melted into the ground, and the rain on the ground had not yet dried, and the fire was thrown into the ground, steaming up countless vapour, and then extinguished.

The next moment, another sharp wind blew in his face, and Qiu Shaohu quickly dodged, but the flame of the oil lamp was directly blown out. cut off the only light, and suddenly couldn't see his five fingers, and it seemed that he had also cut off Qiu Shaohu's only arm.

Sure enough, with a flick of his fingers, Qiu Shaohu only felt that he didn't know how many winds were shrouded in his head, and the feeling that the sky was spinning, as if he would be attacked in all directions wherever he hid.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Qiu Shaohu did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards those sharp winds. Like a fish swimming in the water, it flexibly looks for a relaxing area in the rapids, and finally swims out with ease.

The castration was unabated, rushing upwards diagonally like an arrow from a string, and finally he clung to the roof tiles on the top floor and hung upside down in a posture that ordinary people could not do.

But the black shadow went and returned, and under the cover of darkness, it struck again. Qiu Shaohu directly took out another rune from his arms, and the complicated lines finally turned into a chain. The chains are untied, and a thousand rays of light shine in the immediate aftermath.

The golden light talisman has the effect of destroying evil, and no matter how terrible the evil thing is, it must be avoided for three points.

The shadow, however, was indifferent, and the light seemed to be nothing more than decoration.

"It's people? It's easy to do. Knowing that it was just someone pretending to be a ghost, Qiu Shaohu was more relaxed. The figure of the other party rushing towards him, even the footsteps that were deliberately concealed, seemed to be clearly audible in his ears at this time.

A more intense collision sound followed.

……

Wang Hu waited left and right outside, and he didn't see Qiu Shaohu coming down, and in his boredom, he couldn't help but stretch out his head to look into the depths of the darkness.

The empty attic, some turbulent echoes, all fell into his ears at this time. Before he could understand what was going on, he immediately felt like he was falling into an ice cave.

It was as if a cold gaze was looking at him at this time.

When he raised his head, he only saw that behind the dark curtain was a pair of bright yellow eyes, like a greedy wolf asking for his life.

The wind blew in his face, and a shadow rushed out of it. Wang Hu screamed in fright, followed by a desperate turn to flee. While escaping from him, he didn't forget to take out his own five stone powder from the medicine bag, and hurriedly swallowed it to calm himself.

Desperately escaping along the same road, he ran back to the front hall in one breath, and in the panic, Wang Hu seemed to have tripped over something and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Scolding and getting up, he felt something different, what he had just kicked didn't seem like a table, chair, bench or something.

When I looked back, I saw a woman lying straight on the ground, breathless.

"It's you!" Wang Hu recognized this as Zhou Linchao's slave girl Anu.

……

Qiu Shaohu chased down from the attic, and he couldn't see the other party's whereabouts.

But I heard a commotion downstairs again, and the people who stayed in the inn didn't know what they were arguing about.

Qiu Shaohu realized that something was wrong and immediately rushed over there. Walking around the corner, I saw Zhou Linchao constantly questioning Wang Hu, while everyone else was stopping him.

In the words, it seems that Zhou Linchao's slave girl also died outside, and Wang Hu is the one who saw the corpse, so he will naturally be suspected.

I had just found that shadow in the attic, and in an instant another person had died, and everything seemed to happen too quickly.

Qiu Shaohu was about to ask what was going on, when he passed by the stairs on the second floor, his hand inadvertently held the staircase gauntlet, and suddenly stopped.

Touching the edge of the guardrail, one of the guardrails seemed to be a little wrong and tilted a little.

This is a railing of fine elm, how can it be so easy to break? Besides, it had just been cleaned during the day, and the entire railing was intact by then.

Qiu Shaohu was in an unnoticed position on the side of the last railing, and touched an abrupt thing, as if someone had forcibly embedded it inside.

Everyone's attention was not on him, and Qiu Shaohu took the opportunity to buckle the thing out of the crack in the railing.

It is smooth to start, but it is a Buddha bead, the size of which can be held in the palm of your hand.

Qiu Shaohu immediately thought of Zhang Qi's broken finger, and someone forcibly broke his hand and took away something he was holding in his hand.

At the same time, Qiu Shaohu felt his heart move.

It was the book he put in his arms, and in order to cover up its light, Qiu Shaohu put it close to his body in the innermost part of his clothes, but at this time there was a special tremor.

At the moment of getting this Buddhist bead.
