The third altar was found next to a pothole in the south of Taibai Mountain.
After receiving the news, a few of us rushed there immediately.
When I first saw this altar, an idea immediately popped into my mind.
This altar It doesn't seem to be finished. otbnkotgt Although it seems that the altar is complete, the water basin placed in the center of the altar is empty.
At the same time, there are no talismans on either side of the altar.
In other words, there is only an altar and empty water here.
There is nothing outside the basin.
I took the cigarette from the fat man, squatted on the ground next to me and looked at the altar.
After thinking for a while, I said, "I think this might be an abandoned altar."
The people who were arguing stopped after hearing my words and looked at me strangely.
"Why is it abandoned?
I think it may be because it was not decorated properly, or it was too late to decorate it."
Lingqian has different opinions.
He shook his head and said.
"The mountain is so big, it doesn't take too long to set up such an altar.
What really takes time is the process of chanting the mantra.
In my opinion, even though setting up the altar will take some time, it doesn't have to be rushed. kind of degree.”
As I spoke, I stood up and walked to the edge of the altar to inspect it carefully.
When I finished speaking, I bent down and looked at the bottom of the altar.
Unexpectedly, I discovered something during this look.
I found some tiny black marks on the edges of the altar.
He turned around and shouted: "Luo Qiong, come and see what this is."
Luo Qiong came over after hearing this, stared at the black mark for a while, and then said, "It seems to be cinders."
"cinder" Everyone was surprised.
"Well, that's right, it's cinders."
Luo Qiong gave an affirmative answer.
Everyone started chatting, and I stood aside smoking a cigarette.
Why was there cinders on the altar?
Could it be that it was needed when setting up the altar?
But what is the connection between the cinders and the altar?
"strangeness" I muttered.
Back at the foot of the mountain, the villagers were busy.
Lao Fang saw us quite far away, and ran over in a hurry, holding two lunch boxes in his hands, and handed them over and said: "I asked my guy to get some game for you, try it while it's hot. " I took it and handed it directly to the fat man.
At this juncture, I really didn't have the leisure to eat game.
The fat man didn't refuse anyone who came.
After catching the lunch box, he laughed and said, "Let me see what's delicious."
He took the lunch box, opened it, smelled it, gave a thumbs up and said, "It smells really good."
I looked back curiously, then my eyes changed slightly, and my brows wrinkled inadvertently.
"Oh, thank you sister-in-law for us."
The fat man said politely.
"It's nothing, haha.
How is your investigation going?
Do you have any clues?"
"Hey, the mountain is so big that we haven't found that beast yet.
I guess we'll have to stay there for a while longer."

"It's okay, it's okay.
We welcome you to stay a few more days."
After a few words of greeting, Lao Fang said he had something to do and left in a hurry.
At night, around nine o'clock, I gently knocked on the door of Lao Fang's house and shouted: "Lao Fang, it's me, I'm here to ask you something."
The lights in the room gradually turned on, and the sleepy old Fang looked at me strangely and asked: "Oh, it's so late, what's going on?"
"Can we come in and talk?"
He nodded, led me in, sat on a chair in the hall, and poured me a cup of tea.
He asked with a smile: "What happened?"
I looked at his house and said with a smile: "You have been out driving sports cars these days."
"Hey, how did you know you ran away?
A few days ago, I helped pull a cart of coal for the village to earn a little money.
Otherwise, if I were to stay in this small village all the time, when would I be able to make money?"
He said it openly, but my heart moved slightly, and then he said: "Old Fang, did you drive alone?"
"Yes, I don't run long distances, only short distances.
Generally speaking, one person is enough.
People who run long distances need help from others.
I don't need help, haha."
After hearing these words, I slowly pressed my hand on the handle of the Tushan knife.
After thinking for a while, I said, "Have you been to the mountains or stayed in the mountains recently?"
"No, I went up the mountain.
I followed a few hunters around a few times, but I didn't stay.
What happened?
Haha."
He didn't understand what I meant, but I stood up all of a sudden.
He pulled out the Tushan knife suddenly, and grabbed Lao Fang's neck with the other one.
Before he could react, the Tushan knife had already landed on his neck.
His expression changed greatly in fright.
"Brother Baba, you have something to say, what are you doing?"
He was so frightened that he stammered when speaking.
"Did you arrange the altar on the mountain?
Who are you?"
"I don't know what you are talking about.
Don't be impulsive.
I haven't offended you.
I still have a wife and children at home.
If you want money or anything else, I will give you whatever I can."
He looked pale, but his words didn't sound like he was lying.
I stared at him for a long time.
I have seen many liars.
Although I can't say that I have met a thousand people, I still have some experience.
It doesn't look like I am lying.
“You really don’t know about the altar offering.”
"I don't know, why did I lie to you?"
He lowered his voice and spoke anxiously.
I put away the Tushan knife and took a step back.

Only then did Lao Fang let out a sigh of relief, stared at me and asked, "Brother Ba, what are you doing?"
I took a sip of water.
He said: "We found an altar on the mountain, which was used by someone to cast spells.
We found some cinders on the edge of the altar.
I saw there was black soot on your hand when you handed the lunch box to me today.
So I thought It was you.
Sorry, I just tried you."
"Oh, you scared me to death."
Lao Fang patted his chest and poured himself a glass of water.
After the two of us were silent for a while, I was about to say goodbye when Lao Fang suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "By the way, I rang."
"What" I asked strangely.
"After I came back from hauling coal, the car had not been washed.
There was cinders behind it.
On the road, I met a friend named Zhou Guangmao from the next village, and he and I knew each other.
I was doing some things at the time, and it was very difficult to walk.
I I kindly gave him a ride and dropped him off at the entrance of their village.
At that time, he put his things in the back of my car and sat in the passenger seat to chat with me. " Hearing what Lao Fang said, I immediately asked: "Are you sure what he was carrying at that time?"
"It seemed like two big packages, and they looked quite solid.
They didn't look like clothes or anything like that.
I even asked him jokingly if he was moving."
"This is possible.
By the way, is that person still in the next village?"
I asked quickly.
"It should be there.
Zhou Guangmao is actually quite lonely.
He has never had a family in his thirties.
He usually works on his own land and sometimes goes up to the mountains to get some game.
He is quite honest.
I went to talk to him.
We went into the mountains together so we know each other.
What’s wrong, do you doubt him?”
Lao Fang asked doubtfully.
"I'm not sure if it's him.
But I'm sure to suspect it.
If you don't know the way, can you take me to see it when you have time?"
If this person is really Zhou Guangmao, then he may have sensed our threat and may have hidden or moved the altar and magic weapon at home.
So the sooner you act the better "Okay, I'll tell my husband, please wait."
A few minutes later, each of us hit the road with a headlamp that illuminated the mountains.
The mountain villages were especially quiet at night and visibility was very low.
Ordinary flashlights are useless, it's like being blind.
This is something that people who are used to living in big cities cannot imagine.
In big cities, no matter where you go, there are at least street lights and neon signs, but here, there are only strange screams that you can’t tell where they come from. , and the dark woods.
Lao Fang was more familiar with the road, so I kept following him.
We walked for about ten minutes to the next village.
He pointed to the second house in front and said, "That's Zhou Guangmao's house.

The lights are off, so he must have gone to bed."
I nodded and said: "In this case, Lao Fang, you go to the front and knock on the door to attract his attention.
I will dig in from the back to see if there is anything suspicious.
You can talk more.
If he is innocent, I will Just dig it out on your own, but if it’s not clear, then I’ll flank him from behind and don’t let him escape
