Li Chuan studied this picture in the book several times, trying to analyze its structure or find out its meaning, but nothing came of it except for being dizzy.

But at this point the pages opened. The mist was washed clean by the clear spring, and the meaning of the pattern was directly summoned, and the golden light scurried around in his mind, and finally settled down with the rhythm of the ripples. All the surges in the world are contained in this pattern.

When Li Chuan looked at the puddle of water again, the layers of ripples in his eyes were three undulating ripples intertwined, and when he was about to take a closer look, his eyes suddenly darkened.

The spring sunset has completely fallen.

Li Chuan put the "Book of Tattoos" back into his clothes, and then said: "It is a pattern, composed of three kinds of ripples. He tried his best to convey the meaning of ripples from what he had just learned.

Wen Guying was obviously relieved, "It seems that this is indeed the place." ”

Then, Wen should take Li Chuan back to the ground and join Jin Rong. When he saw Jin Rong, he saw him mingling with a young monk in a cyan robe.

Jin Rong didn't use any weapon magic weapon, he just used his fists to smash people, and the fists seemed to be shining, and his fighting style was very strong. When Li Chuan and Wen Guying arrived, he happened to knock the monk unconscious with one punch, and when he saw them coming, he took two steps to the side, tidied up his robe, took out a fan, opened it, and fanned the wind a few times.

It turns out that the fan is not a magic weapon.

Jin Rong explained: "When I came out, I saw him sneaking around, so I went up and asked him what he was going to do, but he didn't say anything, and suddenly he called me, and I had to knock him unconscious. ”

"Could it be related to Xialin Village?" Remembrance flicked his sleeve at the man.

The man woke up, only to find that his body could not move.

Li Chuan walked over and asked, "Who are you?" Why here? ”

The man asked, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, Wen Guying recognized the pattern on the robe and said, "You are from the Lingchuan faction?" Why are you here? ”

When the man saw Wen Guying's sword, he recognized the huge ruby and said, "You are Senior Brother Wen of the Four Divine Palaces?" ”

After seeing Wen Guying nodding, the man said: "I am Mu Ling, a disciple of the Feng Sect of the Lingchuan Sect, I have received the kindness of Senior Brother Guan, and after knowing about him, I am determined to clear his grievances, so I came here." I saw that there were people from the government patrolling all around Xialin Village, and they had put down a ban, so I wanted to wait until late at night to find a way to go up the mountain. ”

He said happily again: "It turned out that Senior Brother Wen laid a ban on you, no wonder I couldn't break it." With you, Senior Brother Guan must be saved. ”

For a long time, he didn't hear Wen Guying's response, and when he sensed that something was wrong, he said, "Senior Brother Wen? ”

Wen Guying said: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then you can go back." With another flick of his hand, Mu Ling was freed.

Mu Ling asked, "Then can I go and see Senior Brother Guan?" ”

Wen Guying refused: "The case is still under investigation, and when the results come out, it's not too late to say goodbye." Then he said, "It just so happens that I am short of someone here, so you can help me go to the Four Gods Palace tomorrow, go to the library, and help me find a few books." ”

It is not appropriate to spread the matter of the strange ghost for the time being, and it is necessary to branch him apart, so as not to cause trouble.

Mu Ling agreed again and again.

His face was still swollen, so he left immediately.

After Mu Ling left, Wen Guying also said goodbye to Li Chuan and Jin Rong and said, "I'll borrow a few things and come back, and I'll see you in three days." ”

Then, with a whoosh, he flew away.

So Li Chuan, Jin Rong and the two demons returned to Xiushan County together and rested separately.

If you close your eyes, you may be too tired to fall asleep.

"Second brother, third brother, have you slept?"

No response.

So, he sat up, lit the candle, and then the candlelight saw Gong Er and Bian San, nestled in the pot, sleeping soundly.

He took out the "Tattoo Sutra" and turned to the page of "Yong", and read it again.

I have a little bit in my heart.

The pattern on the book is not a picture, but a manifestation of a certain thing, a certain law.

After reading the book for a while, and thinking about what I had seen today, I finally felt a little sleepy, so I fell asleep again.

As soon as he woke up the next day, someone came to look for him, and when he opened the door, it turned out to be Liu joining the army.

Liu Shenjun said: "I searched through a lot of case files yesterday and found a few that may be useful, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Okay." Li Chuan agreed at once.

Liu Shenjun said again: "Shall we ask those two strange ghosts again?" ”

Li Chuan was at a loss.

Liu Senjun said: "I know they are all strange ghosts, but as long as they are willing to say, I think, they can always find some clues from them, right?" ”

"Yes," Li Chuan agreed, he said, "Then let's go find Brother Jin together?" ”

Liu Shenjun said: "I have just looked for Master Jin, and he said that he is going to visit several villages around Xialin Village, and let me come to look for you." ”

Li Chuan could only respond and said, "That's okay, Brother Liu wait a while, I'll clean up and go with you." ”

Liu Senjun went to the lobby to wait for Li Chuan.

Li Chuan closed the door, took a sip of cold tea, and after feeling sober, he told the second public to say a few words before leaving.

Along the way, Liu Shenjun was talking about his discovery: "I found that the people in Xialin Village, a hundred years ago, had more exchanges with the outside world, and there were still people who were promoted and came out to be officials. And they rarely marry outside, because there are too few records, only Pan's mother knows that she has married outside in recent years. ”

"Where is Pan's mother's husband's house?"

"It's from Yixian County, it's a rich family, and Pan's mother is a continuation. After her husband died, she and her children were driven out by their original son, and they have been running around with the caravan ever since. Liu Shenjun said.

After arriving at the Yamen, Li Chuan looked at the case file sorted out by Liu Shenjun, and felt that the village of Xialin Village was indeed full of weirdness, but he couldn't figure out where the weirdness was.

At this time, Liu Senjun asked Li Chuan about their actions yesterday.

Li Chuan replied: "I have found a lot of clues, but they haven't been strung together yet, Wen Daochang went to borrow the magic weapon, and after borrowing it, he may be able to figure it out." ”

He told Liu Shenjun about the clues he found, and Liu Shenjun thought about it for a long time and put forward several ideas, but they couldn't stand scrutiny. So they decided to talk to Pan Ma Guan Mid-Autumn Festival.

So after lunch, he found an empty house and interrogated Pan's mother and Guan Zhongqiu.

After Li Chuan sorted out his thoughts in his heart, he began to ask.

"What year did you recognize you?"

"Eleven years of heavenly blessing." Pan's mother replied.

"How old were you at the time?"

"Seventeen."

"When did he give you a soul?"

"I don't remember the soul drain. After we knew each other for two years, he said that he had found a way for me to cultivate immortals, and I was very happy at the time, but he left the next day. ”

"Were you twenty then?"

"Three months to go."

"Does Xialin Village pay special attention to the twentieth birthday?"

"Nope."

"Think about it," Guan Zhongqiu, who had been quiet, suddenly said, "Your twentieth birthday, how did your parents do it for you." ”

"A bowl of somen noodles, what else? We ordinary people, who work day and night, and have to go hungry from time to time, can think of cooking a bowl of somen noodles, it's good. It's not like you monks, who have been through this and that with all the bells and whistles......" Pan's mother replied.

"It's a clue that makes you think about your transformation into a ghost, what do you think?"

"Aren't you also a stranger, why don't you want to think about clues?"

"I think I was attacked by Xiaohu and the others, and I was taken advantage of by strange ghosts," Guan Zhongqiu actually thought about it seriously, "The time that Elder Wei said was about that time, when I was on the verge of death, and I was in a coma for maybe ten days...... But the damage to my soul hasn't changed now......"

Dying.

Li Chuan captured this keyword.

"It's your turn." After Guan Zhongqiu finished speaking, he began to urge Pan's mother again.

"Really, you left suddenly, and I lay in bed for a month in sadness before I had the strength to get out of bed and work. Many people in the village know about you, and when you are gone, all kinds of ugly words have reached the ears of my parents, and they are worried all day long, but they can still remember my birthday, and they made me a bowl of somen noodles......"

Li Chuan and Liu Senjun glanced at each other and understood the reason why Pan Mayuan was married.

And Guan Zhongqiu stopped Pan's mother's chatter again and said, "Think about it, what else happened that day?" ”

Pan's mother didn't seem to hear his words, and poured bitter water on her own, "As a result, after three years, I finally talked about family affairs, and you appeared again, directly snatched me away, and spoke kind and lustful to me for a month, asked me to cooperate with this and that, and threw me back when it was over, and the family affairs were so yellow." ”

"You're a stranger now, what's the point of saying this?" Guanqiu's face was gloomy.

"You're a strange ghost too, you don't care what I say."

"The ancestors of Xialin Village have lived here for generations, and I have never heard of any strange ghosts, I can't say, it is because of you that this strange ghost has brought such a disaster to the village," Pan's mother obviously thought a lot, she turned to Li Chuan and Liu to join the army, "The two adults, the old body is a strange ghost, it is not a pity to die, I just ask the adults to treat him equally, don't let him go." ”

She may have resigned herself to being a stranger, or she may have taken it as a crime to be forced on her head.

What she wants is to pull the crown and die together in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After becoming a stranger, did the hatred continue?

Li Chuan said: "Yes, but you have to answer the questions after that." ”

"Excuse me."

Liu Senjun first asked some questions, such as what other people in Xialin Village married outside and made a living outside.

Pan's mother answered them one by one, but she hadn't been back to Xialin Village for decades, so she didn't know much.

After Liu Sanjun finished asking, Li Chuan began to ask.

"Are there any specialties in Xialin Village?"

"Do you have any delicious wild fruits or something?"

“……”

Every time Pan's mother said no, Guan Zhongqiu would interject to ask her to think about it, and also listed some possible problems with her memory.

Under the hatred of each other, the two strange ghosts actually told the daily life, customs, earthworks, and festival customs of Xialin Village.
