Everyone investigated the Jiang family's old house, and after finding a spell of unknown origin and a map in Mr. Jiang's room, they went to the room where Jiang Wanglou used to live.

The house where Jiang Wanglou lives is not far from Mr. Jiang's. Different from the slightly messy situation in Mr. Jiang's room, Jiang Wanglou's room is quite tidy. It can be seen that it was specially cleaned when he left.

There are many books in the room. If you look carefully, they are all geography records about Kuaiji Mountain, some weird legends and classics, and some medical books.

Gongsun took out a few books and flipped through them, frowning, "This guy is studying some weird stuff..."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Pu curiously leaned over to take a look.

"Look at these medical books!"

The Ninth Prince took it and flipped through a few pages. He was also a little puzzled, "Why are there so many terrible portraits on this book?"

Zhao Pu's words attracted Lin Yehuo and Zhan Zhao, "What kind of scary portrait?"

Everyone took a closer look and found that this was not an ordinary medical book at all, but a magic book that was even more exaggerated than a witch doctor, with all kinds of blood and weirdness.

Gongsun snorted, "That's a crooked way!"

Bai Yutang found a lot of maps of Kuaiji Mountain, and these are all left. Judging from the empty bookshelves, most of them must have been taken away.

"No wonder Jiang Wanglou knows the topography of Kuaiji Mountain so well. He has studied it since he was a child." Zhan Zhao opened the wardrobe drawer and searched, but found nothing suspicious.

Everyone finally left Jiang Wanglou's room, but when they got out, the fourth son took Zhan Zhao's hand and said they were going to the backyard.

Everyone followed Xiaotuanzi to the backyard.

The backyard was empty, surrounded by some weeds, a lot of firewood stacked against one wall, and some broken iron shelves. There was a dry well in the middle, and nothing else.

The demon king walked over and looked into the well... and found that a large amount of mud had been poured into the well and it had been sealed.

"It must be a dry well." Zhao Pu came over, picked up the fourth son, and teased him, "Is it possible that there is a corpse sealed in the well?"

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, everyone looked at Zhan Zhao subconsciously.

Zhan Zhao was angry, "I hate it!"

Everyone gasped - you actually said Tuanzi was annoying?!

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and hugged the fourth child - of course it's not Tuanzi who hates him! It's you who hate him!

"Is there really a corpse?" Zhao Zhen walked around the dry well.

"Are you sure it's a well?" Bai Yutang discovered that there were two square holes on both sides of the well mouth, which seemed to be two card slots.

There is a linear dent between the two card slots. I don’t know if it was not smoothed out when applying mud, or if it was made on purpose... What is the use of it?

Everyone else looked around. Zou Liang stood in front of the pile of firewood, puzzled, "Jiang Wanglou is a young master after all, and doesn't the Jiang family have a firewood shed for such a big family? Why are the firewood piled here?"

"

"Speaking of firewood..." Lin Yehuo reached out and picked up a big ax from the wall, "Good guy... this ax is too big! It's like a mountain axe."

As he spoke, he turned the ax handle in a circle... but as soon as Lin Yehuo swung it, he heard a "whoosh" and the ax flew away.

"Wow!" Zhao Zhen behind him was pulled back by Nangong, and the ax fell right where Zhao Zhen was standing just now.

Zhao Zhen was so frightened that he slapped his chest.

Nangong was speechless.

Lin Yehuo quickly let go and lost the ax handle.

Everyone also looked at him - he was in danger of assassinating the king and killing him.

On the one hand, Nangong was startled, but on the other hand, he felt relieved. He looked at Zhao Zhen who was patting his chest - you must be scared!

Yin Hou reached out and picked up the axe. He found that the axe-head was strange and very thin, and the hole for inserting the ax handle was very small and still in the middle. Could this be used to increase the strength?

Tianzun found a rectangular iron shelf among the pile of broken copper and iron, and picked it up to look at it.

Yin Hou waved to him and motioned for him to bring it over.

Tianzun was puzzled, but he still came over with the shelf.

Yin Hou looked at the shelf and then at the axe. He seemed to have thought of something, so he walked over and put the shelf against the two concave holes of the dry well. He found that it just fit and was firmly fixed.

Then he put the ax into the shelf... then he heard a harsh metal sound, and the ax fell smoothly along the shelf, and with a "pop" sound, it chopped into the straight seam on the surface of the well.

"This is a guillotine!" Xiao Liangzi shouted.

Everyone also stared at the dry well... This was not a dry well at all, but a guillotine! At the height of the well mouth, a man was kneeling beside the well, with his head just on the surface of the well...

At this time, everyone had only one idea - this guillotine was cleverly disguised as a dry well. The question is... has Jiang Wanglou ever used this thing?

Gongsun thought of the evil book he had just read, so he went in to pick it up and read it again.

"Jiang Wanglou seems to be obsessed with the treatment method of human blood." Gongsun frowned and shook his head, "Actually, there is no difference between human blood and pig blood. Not only can it not cure diseases, but it may also cause diseases... They are all weird things made up by charlatans.

Jiang Wanglou felt a little obsessed with the evil magic."

"What disease does he specifically want to cure?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"She must be obsessed with sorcery such as resurrecting the dead." Gongsun took down all the medical books and looked through them, shaking his head, "There are too few books left."

Everyone stayed at the Jiang family's old house until midnight, but still found very few clues.

After returning to Baifu, we will go back to our rooms to rest for the time being.

Zhan Zhao just checked the roof of Jiang's house. It was too much and the crabs he ate just now were gone. He wanted to go to sleep, but after taking a bath, his stomach growled with hunger, so he ran to the kitchen to find something to eat.

I happened to meet Xiao Liangzi and the others after they had finished practicing. The children were also hungry.

The cook makes midnight snacks for everyone.

While the children were waiting for food, they continued to discuss the affairs of the Jiang family next door.

The cook suddenly asked Zhan Zhao if there was something wrong with Jiang Wanglou?

Zhan Zhao was curious and asked the cook if he knew anything.

The cook of the Bai family was named Wang. He had been cooking in the Bai family for decades and was very kind. He told Zhan Zhao that he had a friend named Li who was the former cook of the Jiang family.

Chef Wang and Chef Li both love fishing and are fishing friends. They often meet up to fish and chat by the river behind them, and they have a very good relationship.

After the Jiang family was sold, Chef Li went to work elsewhere, and they still contacted each other occasionally.

Chef Wang said that Chef Li often complained to him that there might be something wrong with his young master Jiang Wanglou.

"Something wrong?"

After having a midnight snack, Zhan Zhao and the four children sat together with the cook and chatted.

"Lao Li told me that his young master was very normal before and after everyone, and he was good at everything in both civil and military affairs. However, he felt that his young master might be hiding some secrets. He said that for a period of time, chickens were often lost in the Jiang family's kitchen.

He thought there was a weasel attack, so he wanted to hide in the yard at night to catch the weasel. It turned out that the person who came to steal the chicken at night was Jiang Wanglou... Out of curiosity, Lao Li went with him to see what his young master wanted to do with a live chicken. As a result

His young master made a guillotine-like thing in the dry well in the backyard, and chopped off the chicken head with one knife. Then he made an altar, filled with charms, ignitions, powdered medicine, etc., and chanted words as if reciting something.

Poetry, I spent one night dancing around the dead chicken like a dancing master." Chef Wang shook his head, "Old Li said that out of curiosity, he watched his young master for a few days and found that he almost every night

He wanted to kill a small animal and then 'cast spells' in various ways, as if he wanted to study some kind of resurrection technique."

…

"Resurrection from the dead?"

In the room, as soon as Bai Yutang lay down, Zhan Zhao came back with a bun, closed the door and got under the quilt.

I told Bai Yutang what I heard from Chef Wang.

Fifth Master looked at Zhan Zhao who was leaning on his pillow and nibbling on a bun. He looked up and down, curious about how this cat ate and drank... where did all the meat grow?

Fifth Master also reached out and lifted the quilt to take a look.

After Zhan Zhao finished eating the buns, he got out of bed and washed his hands, while saying, "Do you think the fact that Jiang Wanglou has been so weird since he was a child has something to do with the golden compass his father gave him?"

Fifth Master rested his chin on the pillow and continued to watch Zhan Zhao washing his hands, looking for where the good things his cat had eaten grew.

"That's right." Zhan Zhao washed his hands and ran back to the bedside with a "swish" sound, and said to Bai Yutang, "I just heard Xiao Taohua say that the giant's mechanisms are very simple. He can only lower his head and lift his head.

Putting hands down and the like are all intimidating! She has never seen a giant move, and it is even more impossible for him to walk around!"

The Fifth Master frowned slightly when he heard this, "Then Lin Yehuo said before that there was a giant chasing the Demon King, my master, and your grandpa all over the mountain?"

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao nodded, "Grandpa also said this just now. He also said that he felt that the Demon King deliberately prevented him and Tianzun from destroying the giant and led the giant to run away from the mountain. He also said that he also deliberately wanted to prevent the people outside from destroying the giant.

I saw a giant, but if I asked him, he wouldn’t tell me.”

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he poked Bai Yutang, who was staring at him in a daze, "Does the Demon King have any ideas for doing this? Jiang Wanglou and the others were all outside that day. Could it be that the Demon King set a trap for those people?

"

After Zhan Zhao asked, Wu still didn't say anything, so he poked his cheek.

Fifth Master raised his head, reached out and pinched Zhan Zhao's arm.

Zhan Zhao tilted his head - for what?

After Wu Ye pinched his arm, he pinched his waist again.

Zhan Zhao covered his waist and grabbed his hand, "What are you doing! Yaoyao is still in the house!"

The fifth master glanced at Yaoyao who was yawning on a big blanket not far away, and pointed at the door, which meant - get out!
