The murderer of the man in Miaokou is someone else!
Fang Ming's words made Ye Ziyu stunned. Is there another murderer in this village?
"When I first saw the man at the entrance of the temple, I was a little confused. According to Wang Guodong, this man had nothing to do with what happened back then, but why did he die in the same way as in the nursery rhyme?"
"That nursery rhyme was obviously left by the children of that time. Its purpose was to make the executioners and villagers live in fear. Moreover, it can be seen from the way of death of the old man of the Zhang family that the murderer wanted to copy the executioners of those days.
He criticized the villagers for killing children, so it is absolutely impossible to use this method on an innocent person."
Listening to Fang Ming's analysis, a look of surprise appeared on Ye Ziyu's face. From a vengeful person's point of view, he would not use this method to kill an unrelated person, even the person at the entrance of the temple.
The man accidentally witnessed the scene of his murder, and finally killed and silenced him.
"So at that time, I was wondering whether there was another murderer on this island. It was this murderer who killed the man at the entrance of the temple, and then framed the crime on others, or for some other reason.
The purpose is to make the man's death look exactly like the one in the nursery rhyme."
"It wasn't until later that I arrived at the castle and saw you. What you said to me aroused my thinking. And when Ziyu told me that Wang Guodong and Taoist Xianyun knew each other, I became even more sure.
made this judgment.”
Fang Ming looked at the old man, while Zi Yu looked at Fang Ming and the old man. She did not expect that Fang Ming and the old man had already met in the fog of the castle.
"I have been guessing who the second murderer is. Although I have suspicions in my mind, there is no evidence. But when I just saw the second painting on the wall, I finally figured it out. Murder at the entrance of the temple.
Yes, it’s Taoist Priest Xianyun.”
When the scarred old man heard what Fang Ming said, his pupils shrank, while Ye Ziyu's pretty face had a look of shock, and she didn't understand why Fang Ming would suspect Taoist Xianyun.
"Ziyu, I said before that the content of this painting is not a prophetic thing. The scene in the painting happened earlier than the villagers' fire prevention and burning of the victims. Do you still remember what Wang Guodong said back then, that the victims collectively contracted the plague?
.”
Seeing Ye Ziyu's confusion, Fang Ming said, and Ye Ziyu nodded. It was precisely because the victims had the plague that the villagers burned them to death. Otherwise, no matter how much hatred the two sides had, the villagers would not
Would do such a crazy thing.
"Yes, in that era, it was normal for plague to occur, but what if the plague was man-made? Someone wanted to infect the victims with the plague, and then burned them to death with the help of villagers."
Hearing Fang Ming's words, Ye Ziyu's eyes lit up, "Fang Ming, what you are talking about is the content in the second painting. It was the Taoist priest who gave these victims poisonous water, so these villagers were infected with the plague."
After all, Ye Ziyu was a very smart person. Fang Ming's words combined with the content of the painting made her understand the meaning of Fang Ming's words.
"Yes, this was a trap from beginning to end. The Taoist priest in the painting tricked the victims into drinking poisonous water and contracting the plague, and then asked the villagers to burn the victims to death. Finally, he gave the villagers advice and built a
For this castle, it can be said that the tragedy that year was planned by this Taoist priest."
"And you know all this, right?" Fang Ming looked at the scarred old man, "This painting is what you painted."
"Yes, I know everything."
The old man admitted again, and Ye Ziyu was a little surprised, "You were still a child back then, and even the villagers didn't know about this. How did you know?"
"The answer lies in the third painting."
Fang Ming answered on behalf of the old man. Just now, Ye Ziyu was so frightened by the old man that he didn't even have time to read the contents of the third painting, but Fang Ming could see it clearly.
In the third painting, there is a man and a woman. The man is wearing a monk's robe, while the woman is holding a child, looking at the man's back, with tears on her face.
"If my guess is correct, Widow He and the Taoist priest were lovers back then, and you are the Taoist priest's child."
When Fang Ming said this, he stared at the old man. After he said these words, the veins on the old man's face throbbed, causing the whole face to tremble, and even the scar turned red.
color.
This is a display of extreme excitement!
"That's true."
Fang Ming sighed slightly in his heart. It seemed that the guess in his heart was true, and the old man's reaction had already confirmed it.
"Fang Ming, what on earth is going on?"
Ye Ziyu found that her brain, a top student at Shuimu University, was suddenly a little exhausted. Widow He was actually a couple with the Taoist priest back then, and they even had children. The relationship between them was too complicated.
"Tzuyu, if you want to talk more carefully..."
Jingle bells.
Just when Fang Ming was about to explain the situation to Zi Yu in detail, Zi Yu's cell phone rang.
"It's Tang Yan's phone number."
After Ye Ziyu glanced at the number, he spoke to Fang Ming, and then pressed the answer button.
"Ziyu, something happened here. The villagers all followed the demon, holding shovels and hoes, and headed towards the back mountain castle under the leadership of Wang Guodong and the Taoist priest."
Tang Yan's voice was anxious, and upon hearing Tang Yan's words, Fang Ming's and the old man's expressions changed at the same time, because they were the only two people who knew what the castle meant.
"It turns out that this is their purpose. Let's go and rush to the castle immediately."
Without bothering to explain to Ye Ziyu what happened that year, Fang Ming pulled Ye Ziyu and ran towards the back mountain. The scarred old man was stunned on the spot, with a complicated expression on his face, as if he was struggling with something.
After a while, he followed Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu.
…
On the back mountain.
All the villagers were carrying hoes and shovels, and all of them were climbing towards the back mountain with dull expressions, and Ling Yao and his party were also following the crowd.
Among Ling Yao, Tang Yan and the others, Tang Yan, Chen Ze and others also looked dull. Among them, only Ling Yao looked slightly normal, her eyes turning to pay attention to the situation around her.
"Xianyun, there will definitely be no problem this time."
Among the crowd, Wang Guodong and Taoist priest Xianyun were walking on one side, looking at the numb villagers walking towards the back mountain with a look of pride on their faces.
"Don't forget, there are still three people in the village, the couple and the old man."
"Don't worry about those two young people. We will go find them when the matter here is resolved. As for the old immortal, huh, I have long disliked him. If it weren't for the people in the village protecting him, I would have long ago
Just kill him."
With a cold look on his face, Wang Guodong was talking to Taoist Master Xianyun while walking. When he came to Ling Yao, Ling Yao's eyes immediately changed and became as dull as those of Tang Yan and others beside him.
It didn't take long for hundreds of villagers to arrive at the back mountain and in front of the mist. Wang Guodong glanced at Taoist Xianyun. Taoist Xianyun took out a flag from his sleeve with his right hand, clasped his hands and muttered something.
"rise!"
When the flag in Taoist Master Xianyun's hand was waved, the fog slowly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of many dirtbags under the fog.
Without the fog, the large army marched very quickly, and soon they arrived at the foot of the castle. The ten-meter-high city wall, the large iron gate more than two feet wide, were tightly closed, and above the city gate,
There is a mirror and a talisman hanging.
"We were blocked here back then. Over the years, I have been studying how to open the castle left by my master. I finally made a breakthrough this year."
Taoist priest Xianyun's expression was slightly excited, while Ling Yao in the crowd was silently listening to the conversation between the two.
"Yes, seven people died last time. If I hadn't been clever at the time, I would have been discovered by the villagers. This time I can't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, I have solved the mystery of the formation arranged by my master. When this formation was first built, the bones of the victims were used as the formation tools. There were 268 victims at that time.
And this time, there are exactly 270 people here, enough to break open the city gate."
With a look of confidence on his face, Taoist Master Xianyun put down his backpack, took out a dozen flags from it, and planted them directly on the ground.
"The Lord of Heaven pardons your life and scatters beans to form an army!"
Taoist priest Xianyun sat cross-legged in front of these flags. At the same time, he waved his sleeves and threw out soybeans from his sleeves, which landed among the flags.
"Get out of the queue!"
Taoist priest Xianyun pointed his finger at a yellow flag. The flag turned and a group of villagers came out and started walking towards a corner of the castle.
"Left head!"
Another flag turned, and another group of villagers walked to the other corner of the castle. In the end, these villagers stood at the four corners of the castle.
After the villagers took their positions, Taoist Master Xianyun walked to the city gate again, staring at the talisman with a proud look on his face.
"Master, do you think your design was perfect? It's just that you underestimated me, your apprentice, and forgot to destroy the traces. You didn't expect that I would find records about this formation in the secret compartment of your room."
After speaking to himself, Taoist Master Xianyun held a red talisman in his hand, and the next moment, he directly pasted the talisman on the iron door.
boom!
The moment the red talisman was attached to the iron gate, a strong wind suddenly blew up. At the same time, the mirror above the city gate began to reflect a bright luster, shining towards Taoist Master Xianyun like a sword light.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Taoist Master Xianyun quickly retreated, and right where his figure stood before, criss-crossing cracks appeared on the ground. These were caused by the light reflected by the mirror.
