Everyone stood still, looking at Bai Shuixiao's body, and the filth she vomited out, it was not right to clean up or leave.

It was Qiu Biying who said, "What are you doing standing? You should sleep and do things - no matter how big the show is, isn't there yet?"

Also called Meng Qianzi: "Xiao Qianer, come with me."

...

As soon as the two biggest heads left, the scene became loose. Meng Jinsong arranged the aftermath, and the people who were not called began to disperse in three or two. Jiang Lian also returned to the tent with the crowd. He was quite worried about Meng Qianzi. As soon as she got up the cliff, she exposed the incident of taking out the mountain courage.

He remembered that several aunts were all people who wanted stability and did not like any major changes, and did not advocate taking courage: Yes, that fifth mother might not know that Meng Qianzi was just taking courage, but she was so capable of speaking and acting that she probably had guessed it, and Meng Qianzi would not hide it from her.

As I was pondering, I suddenly heard someone calling him: "That... Brother Jiang Lian?"

Looking back, it was Liu Guanguo.

Liu Guanguo handed him the satellite phone and his attitude was quite good: Although Liu Guanguo was not very capable, he was generous in hospitality. When Meng Qianzi had an accident, Jiang Lian was the first to go down to rescue him. Now he is back together, so he is even more polite to Jiang Lian.

"Your two friends have already moved into Yunmeng Peak. I am very concerned about you. Just call back the landline."

Jiang Lian was indeed quite concerned about Kuang Meiying and Wei Biao. He took the call, thanked Liu Guanguo, went to the place with good signal under the cliff, and called back.

The landline was answered by the inn front desk, and Kuang Meiying soon answered. When he heard his voice, Kuang Meiying seemed to be so happy that she chased him and asked him what method he had used to make peace with Meng Qianzi.

She was shocked by Meng Qianzi and still has lingering fears.

This is not something that can be explained clearly in just a few words. Jiang Lian said perfunctorily: "Let's talk about it if you have time."

Kuang Meiying didn't ask, she discussed with him with something more important: "The nurse told me that the great master has not looked good these two days, and I'm afraid it's time to go."

Her great master, namely Jiang Lian's god master, is more so.

Jiang Lian nodded, and there was no major fluctuation in his heart: it was not that he had no feelings for Kuang Tongsheng, but because they had been mentally prepared for this thing that must have come for too long, and they were almost tired after a long time. There were several dangerous situations, and they had arrows on the strings and even saw the cemetery.

Besides, Tongsheng is too old, and it is a waste of time to live, and death is a relief. Even the nurses muttered privately: The old man now has to sleep for more than twenty hours a day. If he really goes away, he will just sleep for a few more hours a day.

He comforted Kuang Meiying: "Wait for the news, if the situation really doesn't improve, we will reply as soon as possible."

Hang up the phone and go back to the cliff.

The cliff is not quiet, and it is also true. After witnessing such a horrible thing, who can really sleep—the mountain dwellers gathered together and whispered.

The charlatan actually got inside, he really existed everywhere.

Jiang Lian didn't want to go to a crowded place, because he felt it was noisy.

He walked straight back.

***

His tent was set up in a side place, and Bai Shuixiao's tent was also in a side place. When he went back, he passed by. The curtains of the tent were rolled up. He glanced in and could see the body covered with white cloth.

I guess I was afraid that this corpse would cause some trouble. There were only a few guards inside and outside the account.

When he returned to the tent, Jiang Lian fell asleep and suddenly woke up. He thought it had been a long time, and it was only an hour before, and the noise was still buzzing on the cliff. Fortunately, after a while, it was drizzling in the sky, and the buzzing noise gradually became smaller.

The charlatan was also back, full of energy, and conveyed the latest progress to him: "Xiao Lianxian, saying that everyone on the cliff today, must sign a confidentiality agreement."

Understand that even if you are too shocked, you should try to control the spread range as much as possible.

Jiang Lian said to him: "Then you are still having a lot of chatting there."

The charlatan replied: "This is different. Everyone is an insider. If you don't talk to the outside world, you can communicate internally, otherwise you will have to suffocate to death. Xiao Xianxian, I listened to it and learned a lot of new situations. I'm waiting to come back and discuss and analyze it with you."

Jiang Lian was speechless: He witnessed Bai Shuixiao's strange death throughout the whole process, and coupled with the bad news that Kuang Meiying brought him, he felt disgusted, nauseated, tired, and didn't even want to say anything.

The charlatan is still interested in discussing.

However, he was also a little curious about the so-called "new situation".

Jiang Lian grabbed the inflatable pillow and stuffed it behind him, leaning it against his face: "Tell me, look."

"Do you remember I told you that the ancestral card is a body, just like a human body, which can accommodate human souls or consciousness," the charlatan lowered his voice, mysterious, "What just happened has strengthened my opinion."

"That ancestral card is a flesh fetus of unknown material. When it is alive, it is extremely hard and invulnerable. After being killed by the mountain gill, it is like a pile of soft and rotten cotton wool. Do you feel that the contrast between the front and back is a bit like the human body? When the human body is alive, it is energetic and elastic, and it goes wherever it is. After it dies, a pile of rotten meat has no vitality, rotten and smelly, and cannot even move it."

Jiang Lian said oh.

The charlatan was very dissatisfied with his reaction and decided to give him some shocking information: "In that ancestral card, there is a man, to be precise, the soul of a man. The folk saying is called the cave god, and the scientific saying is brain waves. Bai Shuixiao fell in love with such a group of... brain waves."

Jiang Lian said again, maybe when people are very tired and don’t want to talk, they will have a high acceptance of things.

The charlatan was surprised: "You can accept this?"

Jiang Lian lazily answered: "If this is in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", wouldn't it just that I fell in love with a ghost? It's acceptable to all Chinese people."

The charlatan was dissatisfied: "This is different. The ghosts in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" are all beautiful and charming, and can be seen by people."

Jiang Lian closed his eyes: "What's the difference between seeing and not seeing? Love is a feeling after all. During the Song Dynasty, wasn't there a poet called "Plum Wife and Crane Children"? As long as the other party can give you this feeling, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, life or death, plum blossoms or statues, photos or brain waves, they are all places for your feelings."

The charlatan was stunned for a while: "Xiao Lianxian, you are so avant-garde in your mind."

Avant-garde?

If this is considered avant-garde, then the charlatan is also quite avant-garde. After all, when he heard this statement, he did not denounce it as nonsense and praised him for being "avant-garde".

Jiang Lian nodded: "Be a little avant-garde, continue talking."

The charlatan then reacted and couldn't take it for a moment: "Where did you say... Oh, Shanqin water essence, the word "Make" is used quite tactfully, but it's actually just killing. No wonder Bai Shuixiao tried to stop this from happening. Think about it from another perspective: Once the mountainqin comes out, the cave god she loves will definitely die. How can she not be crazy? No wonder those guarding her say that Bai Shuixiao doesn't think she is wrong at all, and she is justified. It's natural to say how to protect her lover."

This makes sense. No wonder Bai Shuixiao has such a strong motivation and does not hesitate to put a knife on himself.

Jiang Lian opened his eyes and murmured: "What's the grudge between Shan Gan and the ancestral card? Why do you want to kill that ancestral card?"

The charlatan grabbed his mistakes: "Wrong! Xiaoxuan, you made a principled mistake."

A principled mistake?

Jiang Lian didn't understand what the principle was, so he turned to look at the charlatan in confusion.

The charlatan poked out of the tent halfway, picked up two small stones and came in, and put down one first: "This is water spirit, that is, the ancestral card."

He put down another one: "This is the mountain rabble."

"In my opinion, these two things are unknown substances, and there is no consciousness, likes and dislikes. I want to attack you, you want to kill me, and so on - just like water and fire, when we meet, everyone knows what will happen, and it seems that acid can wash rust. Can you say that water is going to kill fire, or acid is going to kill rust?"

"Water spirit meets mountain gills, which is a natural reaction. Water spirit itself does not have the problem of fearing mountain gills. It is like you can't ask whether fire is afraid of water or not. That is not fear, it is just a phenomenon. The person who is really afraid of mountain gills is the cave god - because water spirit is its flesh body, just like a human body. When water spirit encounters mountain gills, it will die, wither and lose its function. Once the body is finished, the cave god will have nowhere to live. Remember what I said, the law of conservation of energy, and when the body dies, it will disappear."

Jiang Lian didn't say anything.

This statement is not difficult to understand. It is like there is no like or dislike in the knife, it depends on who is holding it: the water essence is just a tool, and it will not do evil. The one who does evil is the "person" who uses the tool.

"Also," said the charlatan, his eyes shining. "At the place close to the Xuandan Peak Forest, there was actually a piece of water essence. The mountain gall is the nemesis of the water essence. Isn't this setting quite intriguing?"

Jiang Lian remembered something, and he sat up: "I remember we talked about the water spirit, like a surveillance mountain gill."

"That's right!" The charlatan was excited, "In this way, the whole story will be perfect."

He tried to finish things from beginning to end.

"There is a man in that piece of water spirit, called it the cave god. It is embedded in the cliff cave, which is the closest place to the mountain gallbladder. It is like a sentry post, always guarding against the natural enemies who are imprisoned to escape."

"May I ask, what is the primary condition for its natural enemy to escape? It is a mountain ghost, and the mountain ghost takes courage. In other words, the cave god is always guarding against is actually a mountain ghost."

"Let's talk about the cave god, it is just a set of brain waves, a powerful force that can affect the mind power of the human brain. However, it's just an impact. After all, the human brain is not a good person, so how can you influence it just by saying it? When you encounter a large brain capacity, you might even kill you."

"We also know that the use of this kind of mind power is not always or anywhere. Water must be available. Water can strengthen this influence. However, it is not much stronger. When the water ghost goes into the water, his whole body is soaked in water and takes the initiative to stick his forehead on his ancestral card. He is only controlled for an hour or two."

Jiang Lian Interface: "And, in western Hunan, even the conditions for water ghosts are not met."

Xixi Xiang is located in the deep mountains, not a big river. If you want an environment with water, you can only rely on rain, but the power of rain is greatly reduced compared to the surging rivers.

What's more, the water ghost unlocks the golden soup and brings the ancestral card to the water. It is the will of the ancestors, but it is a god, but there are not so many filial sons and grandchildren to drive them.

Xiao Lianxian finally started a benign interaction with him, and the charlatan was excited: "Yes, so it has to find a different approach and create a driving force for itself... Followers, the legend of the girl in the fallen flower cave in western Hunan has a long history. Did it originate from it? First, it is rainy in western Hunan, and there are many gaps in this cave, and water will penetrate it, creating a suitable environment for it; second, the girl in the fallen flower cave is mostly sensitive, fragile, introverted, and fantasy young women. Perhaps such women are more likely to be bewitched by it, be his eyes and ears, and help him find out the news."

Jiang Lian thought: "Bai Shuixiao?"

The charlatan nodded violently: "This Bai Shuixiao is a talent. I heard that there were a group of people helping her do things on the Po Renling. OK, let's get back to the topic now."

"Miss Meng's behavior is very high-profile. I heard that before the person arrived in Xiangxi, the post of treating guests has been posted. Moreover, the senior executives of Shangui have not been to Xiangxi for many years."

Jiang Lian remembered Duan Wenxi.

The charlatan seemed to know what he was thinking and waved his hand: "Ms. Duan doesn't count. Her trip was a personal trip, quiet and almost no one knew it - Miss Meng is too powerful, and the cave god is already guarding against the mountain ghost. If you are the cave god, how can you not be nervous after hearing about this? How can you not pay attention? Bai Shuixiao must have lurked near Yunmeng Peak early in the morning, and I'm afraid he is more concerned than Liu Guanguo."

Jiang Lian pondered: "How did she know that Miss Meng came for the mountain courage?"

The charlatan thought for a while: "This can only be said that there are many people and there is no airtight wall in the world. I heard that Assistant Meng ordered Liu Guanguo to transfer a large number of mountain scores to Yunmeng Peak in advance, and the mountain scores they were all from the Xuandan Peak Forest. If you were Bai Shuixiao, you would have been suspicious. When you find out this news, how can you not know what Miss Meng is doing?"

Jiang Lian let out a long sigh.

I understand all.

After a while, he smiled: "This is also the cave god destined to have this disaster. He has a lifelong scheming. He has been thinking too much. Miss Meng did not have the idea of ​​taking courage at that time. If Bai Shuixiao had not used up all the mechanisms, we would not have followed him down the cliff, and Miss Meng would not have taken out the mountain guts."

The charlatan was also a little emotional: "Yes, if that cave god is still alive and knows what happened, his intestines will have to regret it."

Typically, the more you do, the more you do, the more you do, the more you make, it is like digging your own grave.

After listening to the matter, the analysis was almost done. Jiang Lian wanted to lie down again.

The charlatan grabbed him and said, "Don't practice, the most important thing has not been mentioned yet."

Damn, the matter has been analyzed to this point, and what is the most important thing?
To be continued...
