The three of them came to the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple was in a state of dilapidation.
Pushing open the half-open door, only half of the statue of the god sitting in the middle was left. One wall inside the temple completely collapsed, revealing several dark-colored camphor trees.
Even though it is dilapidated, there is still a sense of detachment and solemnity in the view.
"It's strange, I saw someone just now."
Bai Buai searched inside and outside several times, but couldn't find a single figure. He scratched his head and asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that my eyesight is dazzled?"
Shangguan Guan stared at the broken statue, with a deep light floating in his eyes.
"No one has been here for a long time."
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Bai Buai said, "Can anyone still be like this?"
Li Nanke looked up at the rafters.
Suddenly, a picture faintly appeared in front of his eyes——
The woman was naked and hanging alone in the Taoist temple. The stinging night wind squeezed through the broken door, shaking the woman's beautiful breasts, as if trying to wake her up.
It was here that Bai Fenghuang committed suicide two years ago.
Two years later, the White Phoenix, who transformed into a red rain monster, suddenly appeared and even sealed off this land of death.
What does she want to do?
revenge?
Or venting resentment?
Now that the three of them have entered Phoenix Mountain, they don't know whether White Phoenix will appear.
"Let's go look elsewhere."
Shangguan Guan came over and interrupted Li Nanke's meditation.
Li Nanke retracted his gaze from the beam, nodded, and asked Bai Buai, who was looking at the statue, "Are you coming with us or waiting here?"
"With you."
Without any hesitation, Bai Buai ran over.
After all, the young prince is still timid. Although he thinks that his second sister will not harm him, he cannot erase the fear in his heart.
The three of them circled Phoenix Mountain and discovered that the outside of Phoenix Mountain was shrouded in blood mist and there was an invisible barrier. They tried many methods but could not get out.
"What's going on, we're trapped in the mountains?"
Bai Buai said with a panicked expression.
Shangguanguan looked calm, and after some observation, he expressed his analysis, "It should be that we have broken into a private area, and we just need to find the exit."
As soon as Shangguan Guan finished speaking, a burst of conversation suddenly sounded not far away.
The three of them were on alert and immediately hid behind a tree.
Carefully, I poked my head out and looked around, only to find two women.
Both of them were dressed simply. The woman in front was in her fifties, with rough and dark skin, and a wrinkled face that had been weathered and damaged by time.
Following behind was a young woman with a delicate appearance.
From the facial features of these two people, we can tell that they are actually mother and daughter.
Both of them were carrying bamboo baskets behind them.
There are some wild mushrooms, solitary herbs and the like inside.
"Is it a monster?"
Bai Buai lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.
Shangguan Guan shook his head, "It doesn't look like it. But Phoenix Mountain has been sealed off. How they came up here is very strange."
"Then he's not a human being."
Bai Buai took out a short crossbow, his timid expression was filled with excitement, "Grandma, I have long wanted to join the Night Patrol Division to deal with monsters, but unfortunately I don't have the ability. I must have a good time today."...
Li Nanke hesitated for a moment, then walked out from behind the tree and headed towards the two women.
"What are you doing!"
Bai Buai subconsciously wanted to pull the other party, but failed.
Turning around, he saw that Shangguan Guan also strode out without any hesitation. Bai Buai cursed secretly and had no choice but to catch up.
But the next scene made all three people stunned.
Li Nanke walked towards the two women.
However, the distance between the two sides
They were already very close, but the two women didn't seem to see him at all and kept walking forward with the baskets on their backs.
Until the two women passed through Li Nanke's body one after another...
"Illusion!"
Shangguan Guan Tong's hole shrank and gave a judgment.
Bai Buai also stood there, being penetrated by the two women one after another. It was as if his body was transparent, even dragging out some afterimages when passing through.
"Is everything we see now fake?"
The young prince's mind was completely lost.
He suddenly turned around and shouted to the two women, "Can you hear me? Hey! Are you deaf?"
Obviously, the two women couldn't hear it and moved on alone.
But just when Bai Buai was disappointed, the young woman walking behind suddenly stopped.
She turned back and looked at Li Nanke and the others, with some doubts appearing on her delicate and dark little face.
"Er Tao, what are you doing standing still? Let's go quickly."
The woman in front started urging.
"Oh, oh, I understand, mother."
The young woman responded and hurriedly chased after her. However, she looked back twice with a trace of confusion in her eyes and murmured to herself: "It's weird, it feels like someone is staring at me."
Two peaches!
The name shouted by the old woman made Li Nanke tremble.
Even Bai Buai frowned and thought, "It's strange. This name seems a bit familiar. Where have you heard it before?"
"Zhang Ertao!"
Li Nanke suddenly shouted loudly.
The young woman suddenly stopped and turned around to look, but her expression was still confused and a bit timid.
"Why don't you leave again?"
The old woman's dissatisfied tone came.
Zhang Ertao trotted to her mother and said nervously, "Mother, why do I feel like someone is calling my name?"
"Someone called your name? I think you girl had something wrong with your ears after staying up half the night without a good rest last night."
The old woman cursed and said, "Stop delaying. Go back and rest early today. Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. I want to take your brother to the temple to burn incense."
"I understand, mother."
Zhang Ertao smiled and went down the mountain with his mother.
After walking for a while, she looked back again, whispered a few words in her mouth, and then quickened her pace down the mountain.
In the sight of Li Nanke and the others, the mother and daughter walked out of the red mist and left the Phoenix.
"Detective Li, isn't Zhang Ertao dead?"
The young prince asked with a white face.
After Mrs. Xu escaped from Phoenix Mountain, her friend Zhang Ertao came to visit and stayed with her for the night.
As a result, Zhang Ertao became the first victim.
Later it was passed to Zong Yuyu.
But now, Zhang Ertao appeared in front of them alive and kicking. How could this not be weird?
"Double Ninth Festival..."….
Li Nanke ignored him, but chewed on the words from the old woman's mouth.
He looked up at Shangguan Pass and asked, "How many days have passed since the Double Ninth Festival?"
"Thirty-two days."
Shangguan Guan gave the answer.
Thirty-two days!
A flash of lightning passed through Li Nanke's brain.
The man suddenly understood, "So, the reason why Mrs. Xu could see Qi Xinghu at that time was because she saw Qi Xinghu a month ago.
In other words, the Zhang Ertao we just saw was actually the scene a month ago! "
"Wait, wait, I didn't understand."
Bai Buai asked in confusion, "You mean, the environment we are in now is the Phoenix Mountain a month ago?"
"Yes, that's right."
"But...but they couldn't see us just now."
"Because that's what happened, and it can't be changed. Or, at least, it can't be changed now.
"
Li Nanke said in a deep voice.
Shangguan Guan said: "So the numbers on the stone tablet actually represent the time we can go back to the past."
"So far, it seems that is indeed the case."
Li Nanke thought of the huge "Heart of Red Rain" and the mysterious ship with time reincarnation, nodded and said, "And it's only in the Phoenix Mountain area."
Shangguan Guan fell into deep thought.
Only the Phoenix Mountain area can look back at the past, which is a good thing.
Bai Buai shouted, "The question is, can we go back? Don't worry about the past, being able to go back is the most important thing, Detective Li."
As soon as Bai Buai finished speaking, the surrounding scenery suddenly became blurry.
It's like someone covered everything around with frosted glass.
In an instant, the three of them appeared in front of the mysterious stone tablet again.
"grown ups!"
The two waiting guards stepped forward and saluted.
"Ah, you're back now?" Bai Buai patted his head, feeling dreamy.
The numbers on the stone tablet also changed accordingly. .
