Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 706 Another person in the dark

  The two tried various ways to go out, but to no avail.

  Sit on the top of the coffin, with one hand on his knees and the other on his chin.

  Luo Jiutian paced around the unconscious Zhang Boyin.

Dao Chang straightened up his upper body and patted the coffin board beside him, "Nine days, sit down for a while."

  Luo Jiutian glanced at the coffin with some fear, and carefully sat on the side of Dao Long’s feet, "I just sit here."

   "Nine days, I just thought about it," the Taoist chief bent down with difficulty, and said softly, "What do you think of those spells?"

   "Spell?" Luo Jiutian was confused, "Didn't you say that those are blood curses that can trap those who die below."

   "Yes, I mean, where did the villagers get those blood curses?"

  This question can turn Luo Jiutian down.

  The Taoist continued, "Whether it is the Huolian Village or the Lianshui Village, they are basically isolated from the world. How can they make a blood curse?"

  Luo Jiutian understood what Taoist meant. He raised his hand and grabbed his chin. "Is this important?"

   "This is very strange," said the Taoist chief. "Whether making blood spells or normal spells, it is not something ordinary people can learn by themselves."

   Luo Jiutian's eyes rolled, "Did you learn your skills from others?"

  Dao Master’s response was delayed for a second, and soon he replied very naturally, "That's natural."

   "Does the Taoist master also have a master?" Luo Jiutian became interested, "Which master is it? My father should have heard of the famous talisman in the circle..."

   "This is not the point," the Taoist patted him, avoiding the topic, "The important thing is, I suspect there is another power in the village."

   "Why can't it be Fire Lotus?"

"In my opinion, Huo Lian has no reason to kill those women," Dao Chang shook his head, "Didn't the dead woman you met said that she was born after Huo Lian disappeared. Regarding Huo Lian's matter In fact, I don’t understand, Huo Lian has no reason to retaliate against her, and she is definitely not the last woman to be stoned."

   "By the way, she did say that after the fire, if the women in the village had illegitimate children, they would basically end up like this."

   "illegal child... child..."

  The eyes of Taoist Chief and Luo Jiutian gathered together, and the two simultaneously remembered the brainwashing nursery rhyme.

  The crow wants to return to the nest, Sophora japonica will fall asleep, the child will go home, and there is a mother at home.

   "Will Huolian... really have a child?"

   "I see," Taoist clenched his hands tightly, and suddenly raised his head, "They are to prevent the second fire lotus from appearing."

  "The second fire lotus..." Luo Jiutian also slowly penetrated.

"The fire lotus caused a big fire in the village, and then it disappeared. Otherwise, the woman you met would not have heard of her. We always thought that the lotus village was under the control of fire lotus. Now it seems that it may be completely wrong. Now, the village and the fire lotus may be opposed at all."

  Dao Chang finished these words in one breath, breathing quickly, and he held the lid of the coffin with both hands and stabilized his body.

   "Huolian Village...Lianshui Village..." Luo Jiutian followed the Taoist chief's thoughts, "So the name of the village was changed to restrain the so-called fire."

   "Yes, everything is to prevent the fire lotus thing from happening again."

"Then what happened to the burnt girl with the white face that I saw later?" Luo Jiutian frowned, "If like you said, then the women you saw in the crematorium are all Die by fire, not stoning."

  "Do you think this is like a kind of sacrifice?" said the Taoist chief.

  "Sacrifice?" Luo Jiutian was a little confused again, "Who is offering sacrifice?"

   "Another power," said the Taoist chief, "the person who taught them how to make blood curses, the person who told them how to perform stoning and burning, or maybe even that person, wrote the script for all this."

  ***

   Xiaolan walked in the forefront, walking while thinking, slowing down unconsciously.

   "What's wrong with Xiaolan?" Baomu probe asked, "Did you feel something?"

   Xiaolan recovered, and quickly turned around and said, "I always feel that something is not right."

  Everyone stopped, first looked at Xiaolan blankly, and then at each other blankly.

   "Let's talk about Xiaolan," Qin Yin said, "Although your feelings appear frequently, the facts show that things around us are really not right. We believe in your feelings."

   "I feel..." Xiaolan said hesitantly, "Huolian doesn't look like that kind of person."

   "Huh? What did you say?" Qin Yin quickly slapped himself in the face, "Why do you feel this way?"

"After all, I have communicated face to face with Huolian," Xiaolan said slowly, "She seems to care only about her children and husband, and I have experienced a period of her life and seen her actions and choices... "

   "But didn't she strangle an innocent child to death?" The fool changed his hand and hugged the spirit, "That's Ermao."

   "She said...that was not what she intended..." Xiaolan was also a little vacant when she said this.

"Xiaolan," Qin Yin tilted his head, "wouldn't you and Huo Lian already have a relationship in such a short time? I said that too strong empathy is not a good thing. Conscience is one thing. A double-edged sword..."

   "No, it's not a conscience, I don't have a conscience," Xiaolan retorted nonsense, "I just care a little...all of this, it's very strange..."

"I understand, it is very simple for people to become bad." Seeing that the atmosphere is a little embarrassing, Shen Fu, who has basically not figured out the situation, jumped out and said, "If my will is not firm, I might be tempted to Bewitched, in fact, Dai Lili was not a bad person before the explosion."

   "Confused..."

The words    suddenly lightened Xiaolan's eyes.

   "I think our Xiaolan has been deceived by the fire lotus," Qin Yin turned his face to Baomu and said, "What do you say?"

"Uh……"

   "That man!" Xiaolan yelled out, "It must be him!"

   "Who?" Qin Yin glanced at the three men present, "Which?"

   "The scar-eyed man I saw in Huo Lian's revolving lantern!" Xiaolan said, "When Huo Lian had just gained strength from me...just when Huo Lian had just gained strength from me, that man appeared in front of her and said something to her."

  Everyone looked at each other.

   "Xiao Lan, even if you want to excuse Huo Lian anymore, you can't just lie on it," Qin Yin said, "I just said a few words to Huo Lian, aren't you touching porcelain?"

"I do not have……"

   Before Xiaolan's defense had been said, everyone's attention was drawn by Baomu's low breath.

  Baomu lowered his head and looked at his feet.

   "Little gecko?"

One of the twin geckos was coiling around Baomu's feet. After a few laps, he crawled straight forward.
