After all the information was summarized, the three people studied the next action plan.

They believe that the conspiracy of this incident is not very conspiring, but it has a very strong sense of contradiction, which always makes people feel that the person behind the scenes seems to be hoping that someone can discover this secret that has been buried for many years and has a strong sense of conspiracy; but on the other hand, if someone approaches the truth, he wants to bury his insider here and never turn over.

They used to want to find the jungle monster Awu, but now it seems that the road is not accessible, because from Huang Boheng's words, they know that Awu is extremely difficult to find, and even if she finds it, she will not tell the truth for some reason. It seems that she was cruelly punished for something she did back then.

For Ruan Zhan, he tried his best to find Awu to solve Wanli's Gu. Now, Wanli is not in much danger except that he has not stuck to his teeth for two days and may starve to death. As for his own life, although he cared very much, he did not want to take any detours, so he decided to investigate the matter step by step and then make a thorough solution.

He used to not want to disturb the villagers who lived a peaceful life because of this incident, but the matter is becoming more and more complicated now, as if it involves things from many years ago, so he had to inquire with the locals. This is a remote mountain village, with no written information to record, and if he doesn't rely on inquiries, he will not know anything.

"Okay, let's sort out all kinds of clues." Wan Li looked like a statement about closing the case. "Xiao Xia discovered a strange phenomenon in her case - there were plants that could move around the dead parties. Even if the corpse was cremated and buried in the grave, those strange seeds would still grow."

"I have also seen the black cat in the building of the 'help' office." Xiaoxia added.

"This black cat is a showman, and it seems to be the host of the show." Wan Li nodded, "In addition, your unlucky second boss, Guan Zheng, may have been killed because he discovered something. He also killed a cat when he died, leaving behind clues about 'Naman Village'. And Azhan discovered by betraying her beauty that Huang Boheng and Yang Muyou were also related to Naman, so we came here."

"Also, Huang Boheng showed deep interest in Xiaoxia in the city." Ruan Zhan paused for a moment and felt a little uncomfortable, "When we arrived here, we were blocked. You were devastated because you had pretended to be Xiaoxia's boyfriend, and Xiaoxia was forced to get married. The opponent happened to be a person who could control animals and plants."

"I want to correct you." Wanli took over the sentence, "You said that Huang Boheng is not a real person, but a puppet made of corpses. Then he should not have his own love and hatred. What he shows and reacts to is the emotions of the manipulator. So the one who is interested in Xiao Xia is not the mummy Huang Boheng, but the person behind the scenes. Xiao Xia, do you have any admirers or secret lovers?"

"How do I know?" Xiao Xia blushed.

Ruan Zhan knew that Wanli was deliberately relaxing.

Wanli has a casual personality. The more he faces danger, the more he talks and laughs. But he is afraid that Xiao Xia, who is very shy at heart, can quickly lead the topic back to the topic, "There is also an explanation for this question - Huang Boheng, or the person behind the scenes, the ghost Gu, which is more terrifying than the Death Gu, was on the bride who died many years ago, and Xiao Xia looks exactly the same as the bride. If this is not an illusion created by the other party, then Xiao Xia is selected because of her appearance."

"So it is because of the appearance of the bride or hatred. But when it comes to the bride who has become a straw raincoat ghost, how did you do to her?" Wanli asked.

"Stand in the broken-up banner. After becoming a ghost ghost, unless the other party voluntarily removes it, it will only be destroyed. Since Huang Boheng is just a puppet, she can only gain freedom if the person behind the scenes removes the ghost ghost. Now it is better to wait in the banner first, so as not to be controlled and harm others!"

"Is this matter related to the groom from that year?" Xiao Xia asked.

"At least there is a major suspicion," said Ruan Zhan. "Whether out of love or hate, he has a motive, and he mysteriously disappeared, the villagers are reluctant to talk about him."

"Or it is the only suspect at present. This should be the case when the police solve the case. If there are not many clues, they must investigate the only clue." Wanli suddenly laughed, "There is another most important evidence - Azhan went to dig someone's grave. The special plants there grew very well, fully proving that there have been incidents of violent deaths caused by abuse of the elderly in the city and the forest, and the murder methods are the same. Therefore, we can definitely find the answer to everything from here. The question now is: What is the connection between the mysterious groom, the beautiful Abai, and her man Sima Nan, Yang Muyou, and the strange jungle Awu? It seems that we need to inquire about the situation from the informed villagers."

"They seem to be very repulsive of this matter, how could they say it easily?" Xiao Xia asked a realistic question.

"Is this? It depends on me, an excellent psychologist!" Ignoring Ruan Zhan's snorting faintly, Wanli fully utilized his expertise as a psychologist. "Azhan said that when asked about the groom's family back then, the villagers were hesitant and looked scared, and this octagonal building and the jungle monster Awu seemed to be a taboo; and Xiaoxia, you said that you repeatedly saw Ah Bai's beauty appear here in hallucinations and claimed to be a famous witch, so that's easy to do. This proves that the villagers are very superstitious and respectful of witchcraft. We can start from this aspect."

"Are you telling them a little bit of the details?" Xiao Xia said and looked at Ruan Zhan.

"Don't worry, for superstitious and awe-inspiring people, he may not be willing to let him tell the truth, so he will not reveal Azhan's affairs. Anyway, you do have hallucinations, so you can persuade them in the tone of the beautiful Ah Bai."

Ruan Zhan and Xiao Xia both agreed with Wan Li's view.

The three of them talked for a while. When it was almost dawn, Xiao Xia finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep on Ruan Zhan.

"Look, I said she likes you more, you don't believe it." Wanli said quietly, "We three sit side by side, why don't she sleep on me?"

"What are you jealous? She has been so tired for you these two days and has been so frightened. What choice does she have when she falls asleep?"

"Subconscious choices can better reflect your inner wishes. She feels in her heart that you can give her safety. But don't be proud. We are a gentleman's battle, and who will win in the end may not be sure of who will win!"

"I won't fight with you." Ruan Zhan forgot the face of Xiaoxia who was sleeping soundly in his arms, "You forgot that I can't live for a year, so how could I provoke her?"

"It's not necessarily true!" Wanli's heart sank, but he looked full of confidence on the surface. "This is our difference. I always feel that everything has hope, but you always feel that everything is a foregone conclusion."

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything. He didn't want to refute Wanli because he knew that Wanli was also uncertain. "The Three Difficulties" was said by his father. He was a person who had never predicted and missed once. In his eyes, he was also an unfathomable person with profound Taoism. Even his death was so bizarre. How could there be any mistakes in what he said?!

"Uncle said that unless there is any situation, you can survive this disaster?" Wanli asked.

"Unless a miracle occurs. Do you believe there is a miracle?"

"I don't believe it, but Xiaoxia believes it. The most common saying she said is: People who don't believe in miracles will not have miracles."

Wanli didn't say the following words. Although he didn't believe in miracles, he believed that Xiaoxia's appearance in Ruan Zhan's life might be the will of heaven. On the surface, Xiaoxia disturbed Ruan Zhan's peaceful life and caused countless disasters to drag down Ruan Zhan. But what was the final outcome? Maybe she saved him from the darkness.

It’s a little more troublesome to get a cute wife in the future. It’s a good deal no matter how you think about it. But with him, his love rival, Ruan Zhan is just sure.

"Don't tell her." Ruan Zhan suddenly said.

Wan Li nodded, understanding that he was referring to the threat in his life. No matter whether it was the threat of poisonous poison in a year later or now, Ruan Zhan didn't want Xiao Xia to know.

...

During this sleep, Xiaoxia slept quite peacefully. She was too tired and was in the arms of her sweetheart, so of course she slept very well. But she didn't know that Ruan Zhan had already carried her to the bed, and now there was a quilt surrounded her, and there was a protective barrier outside.

Because it was early in the morning when someone visited this remote octagonal building, the two men immediately became alert, but when they went down to the first floor, they saw that the intruder turned out to be the village chief.

The three of them looked at each other on the spot, all very surprised. The village chief was even frightened because he didn't expect that there was someone in the octagonal building, while Ruan Zhan and Wanli didn't expect that the visitor was the village chief. The reason why this octagonal building was not inhabited for many years but was very neat must be someone who came to clean it regularly. They once judged that this person was Awu, but they didn't expect that there was someone else.

"Why are you here?" The village chief came to his senses and looked a little angry.

"I was uncomfortable that night, so I went to the hospital at the foot of the mountain to take a look. But we still had to go back to the mountain. But this person-" Wan Li pointed at Ruan Zhan and told a small lie, "I'm not allowed to disturb the village again. We have lived here now. Anyway, no one lives in this bamboo building, I hope it won't offend you."

His appearance was kind and upright, and he was very good at speaking, which suddenly suffocated the village chief. Although he was still a little unhappy, he didn't mean to blame them. He just looked at the faces of the two of them with suspicion, "Are you okay?" he asked tentatively.

"We are basically fine. We are just here with us-"

"Is that little girl named Yue?" the village chief interrupted Wanli's words, "How is she? Alas, you shouldn't live in a mess. This is the mountain, not as good as your city. If you rush around, you will anger the gods."

Ruan Zhan and Wan Li exchanged a clear expression.

"Is she so sick?" The village chief is a very loyal and kind old man. When he heard that Xiao Xia had something to do, he couldn't help but feel anxious. "Fortunately, there is still a fifth uncle in the village who knows how to relieve the Gu, so take her there!"

"What kind of Gu?" Wan Li grabbed the old man who was about to break upstairs.

"Oh, you are foreigners and don't understand this. This bamboo building is a place that connects the yin and yang worlds. Before liberation, a sage ban with profound magic power lived in. Several villages in the mountains knew how well her immortal skills were." The village chief explained in a hurry, "Later, after she went to the immortals, no one dared to come to this place. Occasionally, everyone who came was attacked was very tormenting. Such a delicate and tender little girl--"

"Is this Yabin called Abai?" Although I wanted to know more information, Wanli still didn't want to use inducement to let the old man tell the truth, so I simply made it clear.

"Ya Jin's name cannot be called randomly. If - hey, how do you know?" The village chief's expression changed from anxiety to surprise.

"This is what happened to Xiaoxia." Wanli scratched her head, "It can't be considered a problem. She just had a strange dream, dreaming of a peerless beauty named Abai-"

"Really? Is this true?" The village chief interrupted Wanli again, looking excited and frightened.

"Of course it's true. She made a fuss all night before going to bed. Come, please sit down, I'll tell you slowly, and I want to ask you some questions!" Wanli gave the village chief to the table and chair in the middle of the first floor.

"What does Yajin's Dream show?" the village chief asked as soon as he sat down, obviously he was extremely confident about Yajin.

"Tell me the truth." Wanli said seriously, "We are not travelers, but - this inconvenience is clearly stated, so we can only say that our work is related to the law."

Wanli paused for a moment and thought that he had not lie. Xiaoxia's work was indeed related to the law, and they did come because of a murder case.

The village chief said 'oh', and a trace of awe flashed in his eyes.

Wanli smiled quickly to relieve the village chief's nervousness, "Don't be afraid. It's not that there is any problem in the village, but that there were several murders in our place. After investigation, it was found that the deceased's death was the same as that of Awang and the three brothers."

"Who was punished by God?"

"It's not God's punishment, it's someone who deliberately kills people with Gu. Of course, these disobedient and unfilial people deserve to die, but our country has laws, so this is not possible."

"Is it done by the people in the village?" the village chief asked weakly.

"It shouldn't be. But we have reason to suspect that the suspect has a certain connection with this village. Regarding this - you must keep it confidential."

The village chief nodded seriously.

"We looked around and there was no clue, but last night Xiaoxia dreamed of Abaiyajin, and she gave us some inspiration."

"Who did it?"

"She didn't say it clearly. She just talked about a bride jumping into the river, and said that if the gu people were not removed, he might harm others. She also mentioned a person named Awu, as well as 'love medicine' and 'medicine ghost'." Wanli didn't know how much the village chief knew, so he didn't dare to cover it up randomly, so he had to tell the village chief the fragment of Xiao Xia's hallucination to see if the village chief could provide any clues.

After listening to what Wan Li said, the village chief pondered for a while before explaining the origin of "Love Medicine" and "Medicine Ghost".

It turns out that love medicine is a kind of Gu in the Lisu tribe, which is specially used by women to take for lovers. When the bird suddenly falls to the ground and dies in the middle of flying, scrapes off some powder at the place where the bird dies, and uses a secret recipe to make a Gu. After eating it for the lover, he will never change his mind. As for the method of solving it, I heard that you need to take cat claws, but in fact, it is probably necessary to use secret medicine.

As for medicine ghosts, they are also foes raised by young and beautiful women. Legend has it that this type of foes will become a handsome man called "medicine ghost" at night, and live a life of a ghost couple with the beauties who raise the foes. Those who raise the foes must often poison others, especially children, in order to serve the "medicine ghost" and maintain a relationship with him, otherwise they will die miserably.

In this way, the relationship between Abai and Sima Nan can be explained, but why Abai disappeared mysteriously? Also, who is the groom who is also mysteriously missing?
