After hearing what I said, the old man was stunned at first, then nodded and said, "You are willing to go with you, so go together, but you have to wait for me."

As he said that, the old man stood up with a cane and walked towards the inner room. After a while, he heard the sound of rumbling through boxes and cabinets. After a while, the old man walked out of the inner room with a bag in his hand.

"Let's go." said the old man.

The old man's electric tricycle was walking in front with a 'ahla' sound. Yu Xin drove the car. We slowly followed him, passed through the downtown area, and headed westward. We came to the development zone again.

Although it was daytime, this area was still gloomy and very desolate. Although the place where Lao Liu fell from the building had been cleaned up by the police, there were still spots of blood left.

"Uncle, where did your nephew fall from?"

The cold and silent atmosphere in the yard made me dare not speak loudly and asked the old man in a low voice.

"here."

The old man raised his arm and pointed, and my heart sank. Because the place where the child fell from the building was the same as the place where the old Liu fell from the building.

The old man did not burn paper immediately, but looked around the yard with a sad face, and then walked towards the broken building. Yu Xin wanted to help him upstairs, but the old man waved his hand and as he moved up step by step, the crutch sounded on the stairs.

When we arrived at the second floor, we followed the old man and walked along the corridor to the room we checked that night. As expected, the old man told us that this room was the place where children in kindergartens used to sleep, and the old man's nephew also often slept here.

The old man sighed and walked around the room. After walking around, he took out a stack of straw paper and lit it in the corner of the room. In the smoke, I saw a few children running around in this room...

Go down from the upstairs and walked to the place where the child, the sixth child behind him, fell to death. The old man slowly squatted down, put his crutch on the ground, took out a plate from his bag, some oil cakes and fruits, and the plate was served there. He knelt on the ground and worshiped for a few times. The old man took out a large stack of straw paper, lit it with a lighter, and slowly placed it on the ground.

Yuxin and I leaned against each other, staring at the yellow and blue flames that were burning from the straw paper. We were just thinking in our hearts, who was his "master" who killed Lao Liu?

Halfway through the straw paper, the old man suddenly took out a photo from his bag and was about to throw it into the fire, but I stopped him.

"etc."

The old man was stunned, stopped, raised his head and looked at me.

"Uncle, what is this?" I asked.

"Oh, my brother and sister-in-law's photo, burn it to my nephew and let him have a thought underground."

"Can you show me and then burn it?" I asked.

The old man hesitated and handed me the photo. Yu Xin and I got together, and saw that the couple in the photo were about fifty years old. The woman looked sad. The man looked a little similar to the old man selling newspapers in front of me. He was also very thin, with a bag on his shoulder. It seemed that this was taken while traveling. The photo had a date. It was taken in 1995, ten years ago...

I curled my lips slightly, shook my head, and was about to hand over the photo to the old man when I reached out to stop me.

"Don't be anxious."

"What's wrong?"

"Why..." Yu Xin frowned and pointed at the photo, "Why do I think the background in the photo looks very similar to the reservoir in Qingshi Town?"

My heart suddenly jumped. In the photo, the couple stood between two thick willow trees, with a pool of water behind them. At first I thought it was a scenic spot in some place, but I didn't look closely. Now, after hearing Yu Xin's words, I looked carefully and found that it was indeed a bit like the reservoir in Qingshi Town. The place where the two couples stood was very similar to the dam of the reservoir!…

If it was really that reservoir, was it just a coincidence... Yu Xin and I looked at each other.

"What's wrong?" the old man asked.

"Hmm?" I came to my senses and asked calmly, "Uncle, where did your brother and sister-in-law take this photo? Do you know?"

"I don't know." The old man spread his hands, "This photo was from where my brother and sister-in-law moved away that year. I found it from the pile of miscellaneous items at the door. I wanted to keep a souvenir, so I took it home."

I nodded and asked, "Is there only one picture? Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there are two more, at home."

My eyes lit up and I took a step forward, "Go and take us back and have a look."

The old man was startled by me. Although he was puzzled why I wanted to see the photos, he didn't ask anything.

Along the way, the old man's broken electric car was like an ant. If I changed my previous personality, I would definitely want to use the car to arch him forward.

Finally, I returned to the old man's residence and came to the side house. The old man rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and took out a photo. I grabbed it and got together with Yu Xin and looked at it. The two of them shouted out at the same time.

"This is...this is that stone bridge!" I pointed to the photo and said.

"That's right." Yu Xin nodded.

Everyone should still remember that Yuxin and I encountered a "crazy" woman in the funeral supplies store not far from the stone bridge in Qingshi Town. In fact, the woman was bitten by an unclean thing when she was fishing in the reservoir, which hit the evil. I used the Qimen technique to help her remove the evil spirit that invaded her body...

The photo in front of me was taken for ten years. In the photo, the couple leaned against the bridge railing, and there was a stream behind them. I couldn't see the nearby buildings. I wonder if there was a funeral supply store back then. I suddenly felt like time and space traveling...

The old man seemed to feel inexplicably at the reaction between me and Yu Xin, and stood aside blankly.

"Uncle, there is still a photo?" I asked.

"Hmm? Oh, I'll look for..."

The old man searched in the cabinet for seven or eight minutes and found another photo. When he took it in his hand, I was stunned... In the photo, the two couples stood at the door of an old house. Judging from the tiles on the wall and the shape of the gatehouse, it was the house left to him by the old fox adoptive father!

"A Leng, what's wrong?" Yu Xin asked.

I pointed to the photo and said, "This was that night. According to Gao Fusheng's wife's description after being cast, Afeng and I went to find the house where she was inexplicably missing in the Fox Fairy Temple..."

When I saw the house in the photo, the dusty memory was opened instantly... I thought of the stone stake that was originally buried in the courtyard, and then I thought of the teeth of the ancient "monster" found in the box of the old fox's residence. Immediately afterwards, I thought of the "third painting" destroyed by the old fox under the clay basin engraved with the "River Map"...

When Xiangfeng and I went to the old house, we saw that it was very remote. The owner of the funeral supplies store told us that the area was full of broken houses, and the tourists would not go there. At present, the couple in the photo actually stood in front of the old house and took a photo. Could it be that they knew the old fox?

At this time, I thought of the matter about raising evil spirits. After the old fox died, we found a cowhide cover book in the box where the old fox lived. In addition to recording various five elements terms, there were also spells for raising evil spirits. There was no doubt that that kind of spell was passed to him by the old fox's father Xu Xiangqian and the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Technique. Because Xu Xiangqian was the "Master Xu" mentioned in the Eighth Route Army Project Diary. He was the first wooden gossip that he led people to open up the stone chamber in the back mountain of Shitou Village... Seeing the spell in the book, we speculated that the old fox knew how to raise evil spirits. The stone stake buried in the courtyard of the old house was very likely to be used by the old fox to raise evil spirits in the future...

Evil Sha... Evil Sha... That night, Chen Xing and the old man guarding the door encountered an unknown "thing". I thought it was an evil evil. It was the "behind the scenes" who sent the old man to harm the old man in order to silence him, but we were hit by us. Later, the death of Sun Kui and his wife confirmed my guess about the "behind the scenes" silence. But I have never understood why the "behind the scenes" knows how to drive the evil evil. At this moment, thinking about the "five elements borrowing life method" used by the man who borrowed Accountant Wang's life, my heart suddenly lit up... Evil Sha... Is it possible that the "behind the scenes"'s ability was learned from the old fox?!...

Thinking of this, I looked at the photo in my hand again, and the old man who looked very similar to the old man selling newspapers, the old man's brother. I thought to myself, was he the "behind the scenes"? Lao Liu's "master"? Because I knew Lao Liu betrayed him, I took advantage of his own devil son who fell to death in the kindergarten that year and killed him?...

"A Leng, did you think of something?" Yu Xin asked.

I took a deep breath, sorted out all my thoughts just now in my mind, and told Yu Xin the original one. The old man stood by and looked at us, scratching his head and narrowing his eyes.

"uncle."

"Hmm?" The old man opened his eyes and looked at me.

"Where did your brother and sister-in-law move back then?" I asked.

The old man told us the name of a county in Lin City. As for the specific location, the old man said he didn't know.

I looked at the time. It was not until 11 o'clock in the morning. Chong Yuxin said, "Without any time, let's go to the county and look for it."

Yuxin nodded, and I called my master back, saying that I had found a clue and wanted to go to Linshi with Yuxin. Then I called Chenxing again. Chenxing didn't say anything, but just told us to be cautious in everything.

After hanging up the phone, Yuxin and I drove out of the city quickly. At around 11 o'clock, we arrived at the boundary of Lin City, and not long after, we arrived at the ancient canal.

The so-called ancient canal is the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, an important link connecting the north and south in ancient times. In order to dig the Beijing and Hangzhou Canal, Emperor Yang of Sui forced millions of river workers from the people, and countless people were buried in the river channel due to fatigue and cruelty. Therefore, throughout history, various versions of supernatural legends have been circulating on both sides of the ancient canal.
