Lihua just kept blaming herself, crying incoherently and not saying what happened. The anxious Chen Mengsheng was helpless and walked up to Shangguan Yanran and asked: "Junior sister, you are all good at covering your face with your hands, are you like Miss Lihua?"
Is that so?"
Shangguan Yanran let go of her hand and cried: "Brother, I...I...don't know why this happened." There was also a big black spot on Shangguan Yanran's pretty face, and Chen Mengsheng was surprised.
I found that the five people in the room all had large dark spots on their faces, either deep or shallow. The two little girls hugged each other and cried, and Xiaotong’s face was even covered with dark spots...
Xiang Xiaotian was out of breath and shouted from the moment he entered the door: "Girl, what's wrong with you? You're all looking sad. Oh, Miss Xianglan, your face..." Xiang Xiaotian said before he finished speaking.
Chen Mengsheng pulled him over.
Xiang Xiaotian's mind was spinning very quickly and he said: "Miss Xianglan, I didn't say anything! Nothing on your face is... not ugly at all. It's really... not ugly."
Qi Ying felt uncomfortable after hearing Xiang Xiaotian's words. The sweat on Xiang Xiaotian's head was so anxious that the sweat dripped down her head. When she looked around to see how to comfort her, she saw Yao Rengui tied up on a wooden pillar.
Frowning, she asked Lihua: "What has he committed? Are you going to tie him up here?" The four women pursed their lips and remained silent. The roaring beast blinked twice with his big eyes open, and stepped out from under the table.
He pulled out a rusty kitchen knife and slipped it into Shangguan Yanran's sleeve in a flash.
"This... this..., girl, did you promise me that you would take good care of them! You have already used a kitchen knife, what did that kid do? Are you all silent because you want to scare me to death? Okay,
If you don't tell me, I'll ask him myself!" Xiang Xiaotian waved his hands and stared, about to rush up to scold Yao Rengui, but Chen Mengsheng stopped Xiang Xiaotian in front of Lihua.
Chen Mengsheng gently shook Yao Rengui a few times. After a while, Yao Rengui gradually woke up. Before he opened his eyes, he kept shouting: "Lihua... Lihua, run quickly... run quickly..."
"
Lihua rushed forward and said with tears streaming down her face: "Brother Rengui, brother Rengui, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look, I am Lihua, what kind of evil have you fallen into? Last night you
What is the purpose of entering the inner room in the middle of the night with a knife and hacking and slashing?" After Lihua said this, Chen Mengsheng already understood in his heart that this Yao Rengui must have lost his nature just like Zang Jiu.
Then he would raise a knife to attack Lihua and the others. In order not to make Lihua more sad, the junior sisters could not bear to say anything and tied him here until he woke up...
No matter how pear blossoms cried, Yao Rengui kept shouting the words "Run for pear blossoms" over and over again, his chest rising and falling rapidly. Chen Mengsheng stretched out his hand to touch Yao Rengui's eyelids, and saw that his pupils were as thin as needles, and the dark spots on his face were also darker than before.
It was deep for three minutes. After using both hands to cast a calming mantra into his Baihui, Yao Rengui waited for a cup of tea before opening his eyes and looking at the people of Lihua inexplicably...
"Why are you tying me up? What's wrong with your face, Lihua?" Yao Rengui struggled for a few times and asked in confusion.
Lihua looked at the girls in Chen's house with tears in her eyes. Qi Ying stood up and comforted her: "Sister Lihua, come and sit down quickly. Brother Xiang and Master Chen are both capable people. They are naturally more knowledgeable than us."
These women are more capable."
Xiang Xiaotian was filled with joy when he heard Qi Ying praising her beauty, and pretended to be deep and said: "Miss Lihua, as the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. You are stuck here like a wooden stake and you are asking my brother how to use magic to save your brother Rengui."
ah?"
Lihua retreated uneasily among the girls. Chen Mengsheng shook his head and smiled as he untied Yao Rengui and said calmly: "Brother Rengui, did something strange happen last night?"
Yao Rengui rubbed his red and swollen hands tied by the rope and said, "No...nothing strange happened? I slept here last night, and when I woke up, I was tied up by you!" Yao Rengui paced to the side.
In front of the bunk not far away, I was scratching my bones and searching my guts, thinking about how I got up and how I was tied to the pillar. I thought about it but couldn't figure out a clue, so I squatted on the ground and started to act stupidly.
Xiang Xiaotian kicked the kitchen knife on the ground and shouted: "Boy, don't you even remember that you took the kitchen knife to commit murder in the inner room?"
Yao Rengui picked up the kitchen knife on the ground, and felt an inexplicable familiarity in his tentacles. He raised his head and asked, "Could that dream be true?"
"What dream? What did you see in your dream?" Chen Mengsheng asked without losing the opportunity. Shangguan Yanran and the other girls also looked at each other in shock and surprise at Yao Rengui.
"I...I...I really didn't know it would be like this..." Yao Rengui said weakly, not daring to look at the crowd.
If Xiang Xiaotian hadn't been with Qi Ying, he would have gone up and kicked him, and cursed: "Boy, if you don't tell me, believe it or not, I will punch you. Even Miss Lihua doesn't recognize you. What did you dream about?"
Yao Rengui whispered: "Just...just last night I saw the pear blossoms were snatched away by the four tyrants of the Li family. I...I was anxious and panicked and chased the four brothers of the Li family all the way. I ran.
Then I picked up a big knife from the roadside. The four brothers of the Meng family were laughing wildly not far from me. I... I raised my knife and slashed at them. At first, the four brothers of the Li family stopped there and attacked me.
They cursed and laughed. After laughing, they took Lihua to the Li family. I was going to save Lihua when she was in the Li family. I opened the door of the Li family with a knife. The four brothers of the Li family saw me grabbing Lihua and ran away. Later,
I don’t know who hit me on the head, and then I don’t know anything else..."
Shangguan Yanran covered half of her face and said, "Senior brother, we were sleeping well in the inner room when we heard the sound of the door. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw him using a kitchen knife to pry open the door. I woke him up.
Sisters, he seemed to have gone crazy, hacking and slashing with a knife. When we escaped from the inner room, he chased us here with his eyes closed. I was afraid that he would hurt the sisters, so I knocked him out with a soft whip and tied him up.
We are waiting for you on the pillar. But we all find that our faces have turned into ugly things. Senior brother, what is going on in this town? The dark spots on our faces are slowly getting darker and larger. Please think of a way to save it.
Save us! How can we go out to meet people like this?"
Chen Mengsheng said awkwardly: "Junior sister, this town was disturbed by the Horozhi Fish, and dozens of people were killed by that beast. The people in the town caught the Horozhi Fish and dried it before eating its flesh. From then on
This town was cursed by the resentment of Ho Luo Zhiyu before his death. I just went out with my elder brother and saw that people in the town also had black spots on their faces. Only by breaking the curse can the black spots be eliminated." Zhuzhu and Xiaotong were cursed again.
Chen Mengsheng's words scared him to tears. How can a teenage boy live with such a large black spot on his face when others see it?
Xiang Xiaotian pointed at Chen Mengsheng's face and said: "Brother, if everyone who enters the town will be cursed by Nao Shizi's dead fish, why don't you and I have that black spot on our faces? We brothers are not in the house except
Apart from sleeping, is there nothing else different from them?"
Chen Mengsheng pondered for a while and said: "Brother, curses are the grievances of ghosts, gods, humans and animals that bring harm to the things they hate. This grievance will never be extinguished unless the curse is eliminated. It will be endless in life after life, and it is also common in Buddhism. When a person is asleep, he has three souls.
The Seven Souls are the most susceptible to nightmares, and Yao Rengui and Zang Jiu are in the same situation. Junior sister, have you ever heard any strange sounds during Yao Rengui's nightmare?"
"Strange sound? I didn't hear it. At that time, the sisters were busy avoiding Yao Rengui's chops. You see, the tables and chairs here have been overturned to the ground. How could you have time to listen to the sound? The beast roared before you entered.
The thing that suddenly came out of my sleeve and yelled at me, could it be that it discovered that there was a curse of resentment in this room?"
"I just heard that Zangjiu's granddaughter in the town said that her grandfather made strange noises after he went crazy and lost his nature. The roaring beast can't understand human language, and even if it knew it, it couldn't tell us. Junior sister, you don't have to worry, I think
After all, there is a way to resolve this resentment. Since Ho Luo Zhi Yu Ya Cani did not succeed last night, I think it will come here soon to cause trouble. As long as I can catch that resentment, I will have a way." Chen Mengsheng said.
That's what he said, but he didn't feel confident at all. With so many people dying in the town, he couldn't even find a ghost...
The women in the house finally had a little hope and began to make sense of the overturned furniture and debris on the ground. Lihua originally planned to take Yao Rengui and the two girls to leave Hulu Town and take a boat to Huizhou today, but unexpectedly
If you encounter such misfortune here, you can only wait for Chen Mengsheng to break the curse before leaving. Anyway, Shangguan Yanran was very merciful to Yao Rengui last night. Qi Ying took the broom and Zhuzhu Xiaotong.
They swept the floor together, Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian raised the tables and chairs, and everyone was busy with their own things...
"Huh? Senior brother, why is the table under the table uneven? It was fine when we ate yesterday." When Shangguan Yanran was wiping the table, she inadvertently felt that the table was swaying on one side and was very uncomfortable. Chen Mengsheng put his hand on the tabletop.
After pressing it up for a few times, it turned out to be uneven. Looking down at the bluestone in the room, which was as flat as a mirror, I felt strange. Moving the Eight Immortals table made of teak by one person was like a tiger biting a tortoise, so Xiang Xiaotian came over and Chen Mengsheng carried it alone.
When the table is set up, it just looks uneven no matter how it is placed.
Xiang Xiaotian squatted down, got into the table, looked at the table legs, and cursed: "Which unscrupulous carpenter made the table? Why does it look like one leg is long and three legs are shorter? Just because of this
The craftsman can still come out to make furniture for others, but he is really ruining the good teak wood!"
Chen Mengsheng smiled and said: "Brother, the carvings on all sides of this table are so exquisite. The craftsmen who made the table are definitely not mediocre. Maybe we didn't place it properly."
"You're talking nonsense. You lie down and take a look at the height of the table. I can see it clearly. Look here, here. The three legs of the table were sawed off and the raw lacquer was added later.
Well, apart from the fact that the carpenter's skills are not good, could it be that the original owner of this house was too full to play with the uneven table?"
Xiang Xiaotian was the speaker without intention, but Chen Mengsheng was the listener with intention. He simply asked Xiang Xiaotian to move the table aside, and carefully looked at the ground made of bluestone. He found that there was a shallow surface on the bluestone surface not far away.
Chen Mengsheng tapped the bluestone with a magic ruler on the ground. A clear hollow sound came from under the stone. Xiang Xiaotian and Shangguan Yanran both leaned their heads and looked at the pit that was only covered by their knuckles. Chen Mengsheng
The magic ruler in his hand was inserted hard along the seams of the bluestone, and with a heavy movement of his wrist, he lifted up a three-foot-square piece of bluestone. He shouted: "What is this..."
