Chapter 34 Chapter 33 Reincarnation

After days of rain, the weather finally started to improve.On this morning, the long-lost sunlight penetrated the clouds with difficulty and sprinkled among the vast valley bottoms.Those luxuriant trees are still covered with traces of wet water, shining with luminous light and swaying blue shadows, presenting a lively scene. The mood of the Hamo people is also like this weather. The hesitation and fear suppressed in their hearts for more than half a year have disappeared.All the clansmen gathered on the sacrificial ground at this moment, looking intently at the two people on the sacrificial platform.

The old man standing on the left was thin and handsome. He was the High Priest Soturan.With his right hand folded in front of his chest, he looked up at the clear sky and said loudly: "The gods will always protect the brave and kind-hearted Hamo people. We live in this land, live and work in peace and contentment, and have nothing to do with the world, but we are never afraid of any evil. The glory of jihad has been passed down from generation to generation, the great Aliya and Herai, their heroic spirits are with us, and the spirit and courage of the Hamo people will never die!" In these inspiring words, the national pride of the Hamo people was fully aroused.They held their heads high, their faces full of pride and confidence, and some men even waved their arms, bursting into cheers uncontrollably.

Suo Turan opened his arms and pressed his palms down, and the sacrificial field soon returned to silence.At this time, Suo Turan's face was a little dignified, and when his words sounded again, there was already a bit of sadness in them: "The devil killed the bravest warrior of our Hamo tribe, the descendant of Aliya, the great Anmi leader. He died for the tribe, and he will be the eternal hero of the Hamo tribe." It was also a victim, but Suo Turan did not mention Dierga's name.In fact, in his heart, the status of Yakuma and Shuiyi anthill is much higher than that of Dilga.And Dierga's informant behavior directly led to Yakuma's death, so even though Dierga was extremely favored by An Mi later, Soturan always treated him coldly.

Of course, there are many things he doesn't know about Dirga. An Mi's death is undoubtedly the most painful blow to the Hamo tribe.Although the behavior of the leader before his death and his subsequent suicide behavior are surprising and puzzling, his strong and strict rule in the village in the past ten years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Not only that, but for more than three hundred years, influenced by jihad legends, people have long been accustomed to worshiping under the halo of the glory of the Aliya family.Now that Anmi is dead, and he has no heirs, this means that the incense of the hero Aliya will be cut off. Where will the Hamo tribe go from now on?

Thinking of these questions, the faces of the clansmen showed somewhat helpless expressions, and the joy brought by the victory was also diluted.Many women with weak personalities are already weeping in a low voice. Soturan bowed deeply, counting it as condolences to the deceased.Then he straightened his body, and the expression between his brows gradually changed from grief to anger. "The devil must be punished for the crimes he committed. The evil soul will suffer the most severe curse, and he can only wander on the edge of hell forever, without rest." Soturan said while taking out a Holding it high in his hand, "The sacred object has been recast! The blood of the devil is sealed inside. He is the descendant of Li Dingguo, and he is also the murderer who slaughtered my people and killed the leader of Anmi!"

The dark object was shaped like a spindle, with a smooth and rounded appearance, exactly the same as the blood bottle that the Hamo lost half a year ago and was accidentally broken by Luo Fei.This new blood bottle was made by Suo Turan in a day and night according to the secret technique passed down by priests from generation to generation. The reappearance of the holy object, in a sense, the Hamo people are experiencing another holy war victory, and the clansmen folded their chests and nodded with solemn expressions. "People of Hamo, you don't need to suppress the anger and resentment in your heart, and curse the sinful soul with the most vicious words. The opposition between light and darkness is irreconcilable, and you represent the power of justice. Today's sacrifice will be because The victory of justice has a special meaning, and we are punishing evil under the gaze of the gods!" After saying these words, Soturan turned around solemnly and looked at Xu Xiaowen who was standing on his right.

Xu Xiaowen's white clothes fluttered, and the sun shone on her face, showing a somewhat holy look.She took the recast holy object from Soturan, and pressed the small bottle to her chest. "Saint Yakuma will use her pure and flawless body to test our justice. Gods, you have witnessed everything, please make a just judgment! Let the power of the Hamo people pass through the chest of the saint, go Beat those dark forces so that they can never appear in the sun again!" Amid Soturan's religious murmurs, Xu Xiaowen slowly turned her back to the sacrificial field full of crowds of people.At this time, it was inevitable that the records Helay left in the suffering letters brought her back to the "holy war" more than three hundred years ago.

The following is from Helay’s self-report back then: ... It was already very late, but my people hadn't rested yet. For several days in a row, they all gathered at the sacrificial ground, holding torches, singing and dancing, celebrating the great victory they had just won. Aliya and I became heroes in the hearts of the people.Aliya was lifted high by the warriors, enjoying the supreme glory. In the almost boiling atmosphere, no one noticed that I left quietly. Everyone thinks that we wiped out the ferocious "demon" and saved the endangered tribe, but I know that is not the case.

I cannot relate this to anyone, not even the brave and faithful Arya, nor the wise High Priest.At this moment, perhaps only my father's ghost can understand my painful mood. It is undeniable that with the help of Bai Wenxuan, our plan went very smoothly. It is ridiculous that this is destined to be the beginning of a tragedy. Li Dingguo did not doubt the motive of our trip at all.He sent a personal entourage to take me to meet my father, which according to Bai Wenxuan meant that he was about to make a move.But he would not have thought that Aliya and our warriors were hiding in those boxes, waiting for the opportunity to deal him a fatal blow.

The attendant took me to a military tent on the west side and told me that my father was inside.Taking advantage of the opportunity of bending down to salute him, I suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in my arms and stabbed him in the heart.The other party was unprepared, and fell dead on the ground before even a muffled groan. I didn't have time to deal with his body, so I rushed into the military tent.They didn't lie to me. My father was half lying on a bed in the corner of the tent. His chest was wrapped with a thick bandage. It seemed that he was seriously injured. Seeing my sudden appearance, my father was both surprised and happy: "My daughter, you are finally here."

I rushed to my father's side in distress: "Father, what's wrong with you? Is it badly hurt?" "It doesn't matter." Father waved his hand cheerfully, "I was the strongest warrior in the clan when I was young." "Then let's get out of here quickly." I said anxiously, "Aliya and the others may have already made a move!" The father showed a surprised look: "What hands are you moving?" "Li Dingguo used you as a bait to take possession of his daughter. He also planted explosives on the hanging lake in an attempt to flood our village. We have already united with the Qing army, and Alia and the others have also mixed into Li Dingguo's army tent. As long as we cooperate internally and externally, We must be able to eradicate this demon!" "What?" Hearing this, the father sat up from the bed, regardless of the physical pain, "Who did you listen to?" "It was General Bai Wenxuan who found out with his conscience and revealed Li Dingguo's conspiracy to us." Father clenched his fist and hammered it heavily on the edge of the bed: "Nonsense! General Li is going to flood the Qing army camp. This is what we negotiated, and there is no mistake. I asked you to come here to discuss how to deal with the Qing army together. military matters." "To deal with the Qing army?" I was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you be arrested by Li Dingguo?" "My confused daughter." My father looked at me angrily and pitifully, "It was General Li who saved my father's life! The day before yesterday I was ambushed by the Qing soldiers. He was seriously injured. General Li just came out to inspect the enemy's situation. He killed eight Qing soldiers by himself and rescued his father here. Later, we jointly agreed on a plan to flood the Qing army's camp. How can you believe the lies of villains? Such a reckless decision!" "Hurry up and stop Aliya!" Seeing that I was being stupid, my father yelled, his wound was affected, and he coughed violently. I woke up like a dream, and when I got up and was about to run out of the military tent, there was a sound of shouting and killing all around.I knew it was the Qing army and tribal warriors attacking the uncanny valley, and I was even more anxious.At the same time, the curtain of the military tent was suddenly lifted, and a bloody man rushed in. That was Li Dingguo's subordinate, his eyes were red, he was holding a sharp sword, and his face was full of resentment.Perhaps because of the bloody battle with Aliya and others, he was already scarred and staggering. "You ungrateful Hamo thieves!" He cursed while gnashing his teeth, while slashing at me with his sword.The burning anger in his eyes made me have no courage to resist. I just stood there dumbly, and the cold sword edge approached my body. At this moment, my father struggled to get out of bed, pushed me away, and fell to the ground himself.The sergeant struck back with a sword and pierced his chest! For a moment, I just felt dizzy, and tears welled up in my eyes: "Father!" The sergeant drew out his blood-stained long sword and walked towards me with a grim face.The dying father exhausted his last strength, rolled over and hugged his legs. "Leave me alone..." Father said in a hoarse voice, "Quick... hurry, we must stop this...war..." Regret and grief have completely crushed my heart.I know that a big mistake has been made, and now, the only chance to save the situation is to stop Aliya before he kills Li Dingguo.But what about the father?How can I leave him? My father saw my hesitation, and angrily reprimanded me hoarsely: "Don't leave! You...you want me to die...don't you die with peace?" The sergeant couldn't break free from his father's entanglement, so he stabbed him in the heart again. The sword stabbed straight into my body, causing a sharp pain in my heart.My father was speechless, just staring at me with his eyes. I understood what my father meant, and with great grief, I turned around and ran towards Li Dingguo's military tent like crazy. However, it was too late after all. When I arrived, Li Dingguo was already dead.His eyes were wide open, glaring at the sky, as if he was still questioning the injustice of God to him. I stood slumped, my mind went blank, and in a trance, I saw Aliya cut off Li Dingguo's head and ran towards the battlefield where the killing sound was loud. There was no life outside the army tent, only Bai Wenxuan and I were left guarding Li Dingguo's body.Bai Wenxuan was also pale, as if he had just experienced a nightmare. I suddenly remembered that the person in front of me was the instigator of this killing.Anger lifted my spirits, I took two steps forward, and angrily said: "You vile liar! You, why are you doing this?" "Do you know the truth?" Bai Wenxuan turned to look at me, "Yes, I lied to you, I have already surrendered to the Qing army." "You are the real devil!" I gritted my teeth and stabbed the dagger in my hand at him. Bai Wenxuan dodged sideways, then grabbed my wrist and snatched the dagger away.I tried desperately to break free, but to no avail.He looked at me with a blank expression, and murmured, as if he was talking to himself: "I am a devil? Yes, I betrayed the Ming Dynasty... But, if this kind of war continues What's the point? Even if the Qing army in Shankou was defeated, so what? The general trend of the world is fixed, and hard support can't change anything! How many times have I said, hehe, 'I would rather die in the wilderness than surrender', this is His answer... I don't want to die in the wilderness, given time, Bai Wenxuan can achieve great things!" The more he talked, the more excited he became, his eyes were shining like crazy.I shook my head inexplicably, with a look of horror on my face. "Are you afraid?" Bai Wenxuan let go of my hand suddenly, "I won't kill you...it's meaningless. The great work is done. You can tell your clansmen the truth, but that will only hurt you. bring disaster to the tribe!" The other party's last words pierced my heart like a knife: Yes, Li Dingguo has died in Alia's hands, and the Qing army will win this war.The clansmen who learned the truth would feel the humiliation, anger and remorse that cannot be washed away. They would desperately avenge their father and Li Dingguo. However, in front of the powerful Qing army, such an act was no different from suicide. "I'm leaving. I'm not a coward. I won't live forever. I will do something earth-shattering, as long as... as long as I can find the power of the devil." Bai Wenxuan looked at me, as if trying to make me understand something , and all he got was my hateful stare. He gave up, turned around, prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed three times to Li Dingguo's body, then turned around and walked down the mountain.Although the conspiracy succeeded, his back is so lonely and desolate. If he got the "power of the devil", it must be a terrible thing. I hope he never finds it, and let that power die with the flames of war. Under the pincer attack of Qing soldiers and Hamo warriors, the remnants of Li Dingguo died and surrendered.The war is over, but the tragedy is not. Li Dingguo did not rest in peace, his eyes were wide open, and his anger and resentment lingered for a long time, which caused a certain degree of panic among the clansmen.Everyone believed that Li Dingguo killed his father, coupled with the fear of his powerful power and the hatred of the vicious idea of ​​"flooding the village", after discussion, the priests decided to cast a blood bottle, seal Li Dingguo's blood, and cast a spell on his soul. With the most vicious curse. Only I know how cruel and unfair this decision is to Li Dingguo.But I can't tell.After bloody battles, the clansmen finally won the "victory" and saved the village. If I tell them that this "victory" is not only worthless, but also stained with the blood of their benefactors, what will happen?What the warriors of the Hamo tribe believe in most is glory and a sense of justice. They will collapse and become crazy. As Bai Wenxuan said, that kind of madness will even lead the entire tribe to the road of destruction. what should I do?I had no choice but to muster up the courage to bear all the suffering alone.May the gods and my father's spirit in heaven understand me and forgive my mistakes. When I made this decision, I knew I would be plunged into darkness forever.I was clearly unfit to succeed my father as head of the tribe - let Alia take that responsibility, a brave and upright warrior who represented the glorious side of the Hamo. And I, let me keep that blood bottle, keep Li Dingguo's blood, and be with those vicious curses for life... ... In this way, the curse on Li Dingguo was accompanied by the glorious legend of the jihad, which was passed down from generation to generation among the Hamo people. After more than three hundred years, although the blood bottle was finally broken, a new sacred object sealed the blood of Li Dingguo's descendants It was recast again, and passed into Xu Xiaowen's hands this morning. Xu Xiaowen seemed to feel the Helay back then, and the saintesses of later generations, they all stood on this sacrificial altar time and time again, pressing the blood bottle to their chests.Then they would turn their backs and protect the blood bottle with this very symbolic gesture, so that the vicious curses of the clansmen would not be able to harm the soul in the bottle. At this time, with the support of Suo Turan, the clansmen lowered their heads and closed their eyes at the same time.The annual sacrificial ceremony has officially begun, and the anger, hatred, and infinite sense of justice of the clansmen in the face of evil will all erupt completely at this moment along with those curses. Xu Xiaowen also closed her eyes, and the blood bottle was pressed against her heart, bringing a chilly feeling.Like every previous saint, according to the instructions in the letter of suffering, she began to recite devoutly: "Dear God, you will always bless the upright and brave Hamo people. Please let me bear all their sufferings with a pure body. Curse, instead of hurting the soul of the wronged hero. Those clansmen who don’t know the truth, they were deceived by me, so please don’t punish them, all the sufferings are voluntarily borne by me, the saint Xu Xiaowen. " When this scene was over, Xu Xiaowen turned around, her brows and face changed slightly, she became dignified, with an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura all over her body.The baptism of this sacrifice seemed to make her experience more than three hundred years of ups and downs all at once. Xu Xiaowen glanced at the clansmen in the audience, and she saw Luo Fei standing at the southeast corner of the sacrificial ground. Luo Fei was also looking at Xu Xiaowen, and he noticed that the other person's eyes stopped for him, but only for an unusually short moment. No matter from which point of view, Xu Xiaowen in front of her is no longer the lively female student, she is the saint of the Hamo tribe who bears all the sufferings of the tribe. Luo Fei raised his hand, he wanted to touch something, but he couldn't touch anything. "Master Anmi is dead." After looking around, the saint said solemnly, "The tribe needs a successor. Shui Yiqi has always been loyal and brave, and he killed the demon with his own hands the day before yesterday. Only he is qualified to be Ha The new leader of the Mo people!" The words of the Holy Maiden just expressed the thoughts hidden in everyone's hearts.The clan burst into cheers.Shui Yiji was also standing under the altar, and before he could fully react, several young men beside him had already lifted his body up, and threw their hero high into the sky. "Respected leader, Lord Shuiyi." Under the leadership of Suo Turan, the clansman gave the most noble etiquette to this young man who was still imprisoned in the water prison a few days ago. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Luo Fei's mouth.It is conceivable that Shui Yi anthill is enjoying the treatment that Aliya enjoyed more than 300 years ago.As for the bloody battle between Alia and Li Dingguo, Luo Fei could only learn about it from the side through some historical materials, but as for how Shui Yiqi killed Li Yanhui, Luo Fei witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. His thoughts returned to the night before yesterday. ... After reading the content recorded in the letter of suffering, Xu Xiaowen immediately decided to take Shui Yiji to the "Valley of Fear".After Luo Fei delved into the secrets of that map, the truth behind the many fogs is gradually becoming clear in his mind, but many things still need to be further understood and confirmed.Now that he has regained his freedom, his next step is undoubtedly to find Li Yanhui in the Uncanny Valley and have a face-to-face confrontation with him. Xu Xiaowen didn't agree to go with Luo Fei at first, and Luo Fei knew exactly what she was worried about.He walked up to the other party and said softly, "You don't need to hide it from me, I already know those secrets—the secrets about Li Dingguo's death." "Really?" Xu Xiaowen's body trembled slightly, and she showed a helpless expression when facing Luo Fei for the first time, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes..." "You should believe that I am a person who can keep secrets. Moreover, you still need my help." Luo Fei looked sincerely. After a moment of silence, Xu Xiaowen nodded: "Let's go." On the way to the Uncanny Valley, Xu Xiaowen told Luo Fei the detailed records in the letter of suffering.Several of the key plots confirmed the latter's previous conjectures.And some details played the role of extending his thinking. He frowned slightly, his mind spinning rapidly, and slowly integrated the clues that were originally scattered. "Then what are your plans now." After a long silence, Luo Fei suddenly asked Xu Xiaowen. "I just want to ask him to stop pursuing those past events and let my people go. I am willing to accept any punishment from him for the crimes committed by the entire tribe." Luo Fei shook his head slightly: "He will not take revenge on your clansmen, let alone make things difficult for you. If he wanted to avenge his ancestors, he could have done it half a year ago, so why wait until now?" Xu Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, then asked puzzledly: "Then what does he want to do?" "For another matter." Luo Fei pondered, "I already have some answers in my heart. But since we may meet him soon, it's better for him to answer in person." Xu Xiaowen nodded, and changed the topic: "No matter what he did for it, he killed so many people after all. Moreover, he also used the 'power of the devil' to hurt my people, and there are many victims in Longzhou. So I think, after all, he has no kindness towards us Hamo people." "You are wrong." Luo Fei immediately corrected, "The appearance of the 'demonic power' has nothing to do with him, in fact, he is also one of the victims. Before Li Dingguo died, he had already developed remorse for using this power, and Killed all the Gu masters of the Miao nationality who held the source of power. But there is one person who still maintains a strong interest in this power, and this person was mentioned in Helay's records." "You mean... Bai Wenxuan?" Xu Xiaowen seemed to understand a little bit after the other party reminded her. Luo Fei nodded: "That's him! After Bai Wenxuan surrendered to the Qing court, he would rather give up his glory and wealth, and live in seclusion in Mi Hong Village, most likely in order to find the mysterious power hidden in the Valley of Terror. It failed to uncover the mystery. However, his ambition has not died out, but has remained in his parent-child blood, passed down from generation to generation." "Then, is it that Bai Jian'e finally found that kind of power, and is he using this power to harm people?" "At least, he is one of the very important characters." Luo Fei said very affirmatively, and then added, "Of course, there are some other people who helped him." "The others, who could it be?" Luo Fei's gaze flickered, but he didn't answer the other party's question. After reaching the top of the dwarf mountain, the cave is not far away.The field of vision here is relatively wide, and a faint light can be seen faintly flashing near the entrance of the cave. Luo Fei felt relieved: He is there! Xu Xiaowen and Shui Yiji were obviously aware of this, and the three of them quickened their pace at the same time.Not long after, they had come to the entrance of the cave.The light came from the hole.Xu Xiaowen stopped, turned around and looked at Luo Fei with questioning eyes, wondering if she should continue walking inside. At this moment, someone in the cave said: "Please come in, I will not hurt you, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Luo Fei didn't hesitate anymore, he took a step forward, stood in front of Xu Xiaowen, and at the same time said softly: "You follow me." Xu Xiaowen thought about it for a while, and told Shui Yiji next to him in Hamo language: "You guard at the entrance of the cave, remember, absolutely no one can hear our conversation." Shui Yiji bowed to accept the order, holding a scimitar, and stood guard outside the cave.Immediately, Luo Fei and Xu Xiaowen walked towards the depths of the cave one after the other. The tomb is still in the state of being dug, and a raging bonfire is lit next to it.A man was sitting behind a campfire, wearing a black mountaineering suit with a hood pulled over his head so that his face could not be seen clearly. Luo Fei's heart tightened, and the terrifying memory of the time when the wind was blowing resurfaced in his mind again.Yes, this is the black figure that appeared in the illusion, Luo Fei will never forget the other party's blood red eyes and the suffocating feeling of fear at that time. After the two approached, the man raised his head and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Please sit down, the ground is very humid, it will be more comfortable by the campfire." Xu Xiaowen and Luo Fei looked at each other, then sat side by side across from the man. The man seemed to be looking at Xu Xiaowen. Due to the cover of the brim of his hat, the flickering firelight could only reflect the lower half of his face.After a while, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are Yakuma's younger sister? You two... look so much alike." "You know me?" Xu Xiaowen was a little surprised. "Your sister mentioned it to me." The other party said leisurely, his thoughts seemed to be a little wandering, "At that time, he asked me to visit you in Kunming... Hehe, but the world is unpredictable, who can predict it? ?” Hearing the past events related to her sister, Xu Xiaowen couldn't help sniffling, and her eye circles were a little red. At this moment, the man turned his head to look at Luo Fei: "You're here too? Should I call you Police Officer Luo?" It's easy to hand over to you now." Luo Fei's eyes lit up: "Do you have something for me?" "Yes, and it should be something you want very much." The man said, and handed over an envelope, "I know you are here for the serial madness case in Longzhou. I learned something related to this case half a year ago. All the relevant information is written in it. It will help you solve the case." Luo Fei took the envelope and said sincerely, "Thank you." Xu Xiaowen kept looking at the man up and down, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you Li Yanhui? Why don't you take off your hat?" The man nodded: "Yes. 'Among a hundred surnames, the ranking is Zhou', I am a descendant of Li Dingguo... As for this hat, it's okay to take it off, but you have to be prepared, I may look a little bit Scary." While speaking, Li Yanhui pushed his hat back, revealing his entire face. It should be said that this is a young and handsome face. He looks less than thirty years old. Compared with Kunming Mental Hospital, his face has less despair and fear, and a bit more mighty momentum. However, at this time, the most eye-catching thing was his eyes, those eyes were red and bloodshot, like wild animals.Apparently, that's why he said "scary". Due to the existence of that horrible memory, Luo Fei's cheeks twitched involuntarily when facing the bloody eyes.Xu Xiaowen was a little better, she just opened her mouth wide in surprise, and asked in astonishment, "What's wrong with your eyes?" "In order to get rid of fear, the sequelae of overdose." Li Yanhui smiled wryly, then he looked at Luo Fei, "Officer Luo, I was worried that you would be like me. But now it seems that due to timely treatment, Take a small amount, and the drug doesn't have any effect on you." While talking, Li Yanhui took out another small medicine bottle, and Luo Fei immediately recognized that it was the research result that Zhou Liwei had shown him in the Forensic Medicine Center.At the same time, Li Yanhui's words also reminded him, he remembered that when he was at Qingfengkou, in that "fantasy", a bloody hand touched his cheek, and the sweet blood seeped into the corner of his mouth. "So you used this medicine to save us that time." Luo Fei expressed his gratitude with his eyes. "Yes. I saw the situation of you and Fatty in the forest, so I knew that you were probably under Bai Jian'e's tricks. So after killing Zhao Liwen and subduing Bai Jian'e, I immediately treated you, Although the drug has strong side effects, the effect is still good.” Luo Fei took a deep breath.When I was at Qingfengkou, I was already aware of the danger, and I was extremely cautious in eating and drinking, but I didn't expect something to go wrong.How did the other party do it? "Actually, I saved the three of you once before Qingfengkou, but that incident didn't seem to arouse your vigilance." Li Yanhui's words interrupted Luo Fei's thoughts. , and then understood. "It was the first night in the mountain! You left the skinned snake on the tent. I woke up immediately and rushed out of the tent. Bai Jian'e and the others were already fully dressed and had a scimitar in their hands. I was just surprised at the time." With their quick actions, now that I think about it, it turned out that they drew their swords to attack us, but you stopped them." When Luo Fei said these words, his heart also moved: Li Yanhui said, "I saved the three of you." "It seems that he didn't know that there was a hidden enemy. "Where did your bottle of medicine come from?" Luo Fei thought of another crucial question. Li Yanhui's answer was a bit puzzling: "This... I don't know. I only know that the Kunming Mental Hospital cured me with this medicine. I asked about the specific situation, but they didn't say anything. They just let me Get out of the hospital as soon as possible, and give me the rest of the medicine." "Is this the bottle of medicine that Zhou Liwei lost?" Xu Xiaowen's big eyes flashed, "Could it be that the Kunming Mental Hospital stole it?" Luo Fei bowed his head and said nothing, the strangeness of this was really difficult to understand for a while. Li Yanhui waved his hand suddenly: "Okay, let's not talk about this, this is not the topic I care about." He fixed his eyes on Xu Xiaowen: "There are more important things to be resolved between us." Xu Xiaowen looked a little nervous, but she did not avoid the other party's gaze. After a moment of silence, Li Yanhui said: "Since you have come here, you must already know the suffering of the saintess inheritance?" Xu Xiaowen nodded solemnly. Li Yanhui turned to look at Luo Fei, with surprise and questioning in his eyes. Xu Xiaowen understood what the other party was thinking, and explained: "No, I didn't tell him. He discovered the truth himself. Moreover, before you revealed your identity to An Mi, he already knew your identity." "Oh?" Li Yanhui looked at Luo Fei in surprise, "Officer Luo, you really have extraordinary insight. It is a good thing that you are here today. I hope you can restore the original appearance of history and restore my ancestors At the same time, it is a testimony to the great friendship between my Li family and the saints of generations." Luo Fei nodded very seriously: "I will do my best. However, I still don't understand many details about what happened half a year ago. For example, how did you conflict with Bai Jian'e and others? And what is 'power'?" "Also, how did my sister die?" Xu Xiaowen immediately added, which was the question she was most concerned about. "I'll tell you... what I wanted to do has been accomplished. Of course, the story doesn't end with this." Li Yanhui looked into Xu Xiaowen's eyes and said meaningfully.Then, he began to tell the cause and effect of this incident in a low voice. As we already know, Li Yanhui is a descendant of Li Dingguo.However, for most of his life, he didn't pay much attention to his identity.He is passionate about adventure and exploration, and is a well-known explorer in the circle.He has good physical fitness and a smart mind, and has received extremely professional training in fighting and wild survival.He loves mountains and jungles, and when he is in these environments, he can always feel that he is a well-deserved king.Maybe some kind of power is really summoning him in the dark? A year ago, Li Yanhui planned an expedition deep into the jungles of the Yunnan border.When he was collecting information on the Internet, he accidentally discovered Yue Dongbei's research on "Uncanny Valley".This immediately aroused his strong interest, because the protagonist at the core of this study is his ancestor Li Dingguo. Li Yanhui kept some relics of this ancestor. When his ancestors told stories when he was a child, he also mentioned the legend of the source of power in Ni Hongzhai.Yue Dongbei's theory aroused his memories. He didn't believe that his ancestor was a ferocious demon as the academic said, so he decided to use the opportunity of this expedition to find out the truth about Li Dingguo's death. Li Yanhui visited Yue Dongbei and absorbed all the relevant information that the other party had.Afterwards, he started his own journey of inquiry. In order to conceal his identity, from this time on, whenever someone asked about his name, he always answered with the eight words "among a hundred surnames, the ranking is Zhou". Following in the footsteps of his ancestors, Li Yanhui came all the way to Hamo village.The saint in the tribe really carried the holy bottle that sealed Li Dingguo's blood, and the legends related to the jihad were even more popular and known to all the tribe. Li Yanhui was deeply skeptical of these legends because of his instinct of blood.So he stayed in the village of Hamo, and while learning the local customs and language, he made on-the-spot investigations in the Uncanny Valley and the Hanging Lake, looking for clues related to the truth of the year. A few months later, under the reminder of the map of the military camp left by Li Dingguo, Li Yanhui finally understood the most crucial secret in that period of history. On the same day, he asked to see Yakuma, the saint of the Hamo tribe, and wanted to explain this to him. matter, and asked the other party to lift the curse on the ancestor's blood bottle. To his surprise, the other party knew better than himself about that period of history, and the saints of all ages had been waiting for him: the descendants of Li Dingguo. That night, Li Yanhui and Yakuma had a long talk all night. The truth of history is embarrassing. In order to maintain the dignity of the tribe and protect the soul of the hero who died unjustly, the saints have endured double suffering alone for hundreds of years.和苦难，将秘密一代代地保传了下去，这份情怀深深地打动了李延晖。 而历史的转机似乎已经出现。根据传说，只要将李定国的尸骨从被诅咒的山洞中移走，同时有相通的血液（后代之血）流经血瓶，洒落在尸骨上，血瓶的诅咒即可破解，而哈摩族的圣物同时仍可保持完好。 第二天夜里，雅库玛悄悄地把李延晖带到了墓葬所在的山洞中。他们共同挖出了李定国的尸骨，然后又进行了一次长谈。作为当时世上知道那段历史真相的仅有的两个人，他们有太多的话需要互相倾诉。两人虽然仅是第二次见面，但那感觉却像是已相知了数百年。 天快要亮的时候，雅库玛先行离开了。根据他们之间的约定，李延晖在破解了血瓶之咒，将把墓穴重新填好，并在当天把血瓶归还给雅库玛。 然而越是计划好的事情，越容易出现一些意想不到的变故。 李延晖把李定国的尸骨带到了下方的古墓地中，这里安息着李定国诸多战死的部下，应该是他最好的归宿了。当尸骨被掩埋好，破除诅咒的仪式也完成了之后，李延晖突然发现有另外一些人鬼鬼祟祟地闯入了古墓地之中。 李延晖躲在暗处，观察着这些人。他们正是白剑恶和三个手下：薛明飞、吴群、赵立文。而他们的交谈则让李延晖大吃一惊。 这些人竟是为了“恶魔的力量”而来。他们似乎已经掌握了这种力量的源泉，外界的某些人士看中了这力量能让人欢快兴奋的特质，想将其开发成为一种新型的毒品。同时这力量也有致人恐惧的魔力，虽然概率与前者相比不大，但却是一个在推向毒品市场前必须解决的问题。 白剑恶等人就是为了解决这个问题而来。 他们解决问题的方式是令人发指的，等外界的专家到来之后，他们将首先在哈摩族中投放那“力量的源泉”，利用哈摩族人做小规模的试验。然后，专家将进行样本的分析，去除力量中的致恐因子。根据计划，半年之后，经过第一次升级后的毒品会悄悄投放在龙州，在这次更大规模的试验中，专家会对仍然敏感的少数人进行采样分析，从而最终研制出完全安全的产品。 李延晖被这罪恶的计划激怒了。冲动之下，他不小心暴露了自己的行迹，从而引来了白剑恶等人的围攻，并最终因寡不敌众而被俘。白剑恶等人对他的身份和来意严加拷问，但李延晖始终闭口不言，因为他掌握着雨神庙的秘密，如果白剑恶此时知道他是李定国的后人，必然会立刻杀了自己，以绝后患。 白剑恶等人从李延晖口中问不出任何情况，但却惊讶地从他身上搜出了哈摩族的圣物：血瓶。白剑恶立刻派吴群把这个情况透露给了哈摩族的迪尔加。 因争夺圣女卫士未果而示意的迪尔加早已被白剑恶收买，成为后者安放在哈摩族中的一颗棋子。心怀叵测的他原本就发现了圣女这两天的异动，得到吴群传过来的消息后，他更是兴奋异常：自己咸鱼翻身的机会终于到来了！ 迪尔加面见了安密，说自己看见雅库玛将圣物交给了那个外族的年轻人。安密正在将信将疑之际，又有族人传来李定国墓葬被挖开的消息。这下他不敢怠慢，立刻带着迪尔加前往圣女木屋，向雅库玛询问情况。 雅库玛居然真的无法拿出圣物！安密心中的惊讶变成了愤怒，在这种情况下，雅库玛跟着安密来到了那个山洞中，怀着最后一丝希望等待李延晖的到来。 然而李延晖此时却被捆缚在古墓地中，毫无行动的自由。山洞所在的地方处高凸，所以李延晖甚至可以看见雅库玛站在山岩边苦苦等待的情形。他的心如刀铰，焦急万分，由于嘴里被塞着布团，他只能“呜呜”地发出一阵低沉的闷吼。 雅库玛并不知道李延晖失约的原因，在凄凉的夜色中，她的心渐渐趋向绝望。面对安密怒气冲冲的质问，她又无法说出实情。终于，在新一天的晨光到来之后，她用自杀的方式离开了这个并未给她带来过多少快乐的尘世。 随后，水夷垤被关进水牢，迪尔加奠定了在部落中的地位，成为安密首领的心腹。相关的消息很快通过吴群传到了白剑恶等人的宿营地，白剑恶对这个情况非常满意。事实上，后来他们对哈摩族人实施罪恶计划的时候，迪尔加起到了重要的掩护和协助作用。 白剑恶等人肆无忌惮地讨论着那些计划，雅库玛的死也成了他们的谈资之一。一旁的李延晖心中开始燃烧起绝望和愤怒的熊熊火焰，即使他后来深陷恐怖的地狱，这火焰也从未熄灭过。 白剑恶决定把李延晖当成他们的第一个试验品。他强迫对方服下了会导致恐惧症的化学提取物，然后等待专家到来，以提取血样，做相应的分析。 李延晖成为了那连环疯症的首例受害者。在他精神失常之后，白剑恶放松了对他的看管。然而李延晖长期受训练就的生存本能却在此时爆发了，他挣脱捆缚，遁入了莽莽的丛林中。大约两周之后，他在清风口附近被昆明电视台的一个摄制组发现，他们把他带回昆明，然后送入了精神病院中。 李延晖在精神病院渡过了近半年炼狱般的日子。恐惧无时无刻不在折磨着他，他的思维能力近乎完全丧失，只有两件事情仍深深地镌刻在他的脑海中，即使陷于如此境地，也仍然未被抹去： “恐怖谷的恶魔将到龙州！” “雅库玛！” 半年后，由于某件尚不明晰的缘由，昆明的医生用周立玮研制出来的药治好了李延晖的疯病。李延晖的记忆逐渐恢复，他终于走出恐怖的地狱，获得了重生。每每想到雅库玛的冤死，复仇的欲望便成了支撑他生存的最强劲的动力。 李延晖了解了龙州案情的相关情况，然后暗中跟随罗飞等人来到了祢闳寨。在雨神庙，薛明飞成了他复仇道路上的第一个牺牲品。“浴血重生”，这极具象征性的一幕向仇人们宣告了他的回归。 此后在前往恐怖谷的途中，李延晖又用“拔舌之刑”惩罚了向迪尔加通风报信的吴群。在此之间，他还有意留下了一些与李定国当年行迹有关的线索，想要指引罗飞等人重新认识自己的这位英雄祖先，不过，他的这些举动大部分却都被岳东北给曲解了。 杀死了赵立文之后，李延晖出现在白剑恶面前。此时孤家寡人的白剑恶已不是李延晖的对手，而在得知对方的身份之后，他更是彻底崩溃了。他跪倒在李延晖的脚下，宣誓效忠并乞求对方的宽恕。 前方即将进入哈摩族人的领地，为了实现自己的计划，李延晖还需要一个帮手，于是他暂且绕过了白剑恶的性命，让对方随罗飞等人一同进入哈摩村寨，并随时听从自己的命令。白剑恶不敢有任何违抗，因为此时的李延晖不仅掌握着雨神像的秘密，而且对自己用毒品戕害哈摩族人的罪恶了如指掌。他唯有企盼李延晖的计划顺利完成，这样对方在心情好的时候，或许能网开一面，放过自己。 在罗飞等人跟随迪尔加探询恐怖谷的时候，李延晖把他们引到了古墓地中，希望罗飞能够发现白剑恶等人留下的犯罪痕迹。随后，他独身一人来到了那个山洞，挖出了雅库玛的遗骸。巨大的悲痛使他站在山崖边，发出了那声令人胆战心惊的叫喊。 在李延晖复仇的名单中，还有两个重要的人物：迪尔加和安密。 迪尔加的罪行不在白剑恶等人之下，李延晖对他的惩罚也是直接了当：用利刃割断了他的喉咙。同时，他把那张藏有炸湖天机的地图留在了迪尔加的尸体上，为最终惩罚安密的行动埋好了伏笔。 在李延晖看来，最终是安密的刚愎自傲逼死了雅库玛。这个哈摩族的首领世代承袭着虚幻的荣耀，雅库玛为了维护他的荣耀，为了保存族人们的信仰，令可自杀也没有说出历史的真相。但死者却没有得到一丝的尊重和怜悯，她的尸体甚至被葬在了遭受诅咒的山洞中。这种状况令李延晖感到无法容忍，他下决心要剥掉安密身上那件皇帝的新衣，让他赤裸裸地，毫无尊严地去面对雅库玛之死，面对那场被歪曲的战争。 李延晖成功了，在铁一般的事实面前，安密所拥有的骄傲与信仰瞬间便崩塌了。对于一个在荣耀光环中沉浸了数百年的家族来说，这种打击无疑是致命的。当哈摩首领重新回到祭祀场上的时候，他的情感世界中已经只剩下绝望、耻辱和自责。他无法适应如此强烈的反差，却又不能向任何人倾诉，只能独自去承受心灵深处的煎熬。雅库玛曾经遭受过的痛苦境遇被完美地复制到了他的身上，最终，他也选择了与雅库玛相同的结局。 听李延晖讲完了的这段经历，罗飞心中诸多残存的谜团亦一一解开。唯有的遗憾是：李延晖并没有见过那个外界的“专家”，他也不知道“恶魔的力量”究竟是什么，只是可以肯定，这力量的来源正是那片古墓场。 “你可以宽恕我的族人吗？”许晓雯此时睁大黑亮的眼睛看着李延晖，“你想要的复仇都已经做到了，我只想请求你，帮我将那个秘密继续在族人面前保守下去。” “保守那个秘密？”李延晖忽然“嘿”地一笑，“可是现在，这么做又能有多大的意义呢？对于哈摩人来说，圣物已丢失，首领也死去了，当年'圣战'的辉煌已经消失殆尽……如果我猜得不错，你的族人们正沉浸在悲伤、绝望和惶恐的情绪中。如何才能找回他们的骄傲和尊严？如何才能重建他们的信仰？” 许晓雯怔住，眼中一片茫然：是的，即使李延晖守口如瓶，她又该怎样去面对这些已经发生的问题？ 李延晖从口袋中掏出一封信，递到许晓雯的手中：“拿着它，但暂时先不要看。”然后他又转过头，看着罗飞说道：“罗警官，你怎么想？” “你指什么？”罗飞被他这无头无脑的话语问得有些发楞。 “我杀了很多人……而你是个警察，”李延晖微微顿了顿，“你准备怎么处置我？” “他们或许都有可杀的理由。”罗飞沉吟着，“但是，你不是法律，你没有权力剥夺他们的生命。” “所以，你会把我抓起来，让法律来审判我？” 罗飞闭口不答，显然，这是一种默认的态度。 李延晖却突然露出了奇怪的笑容：“我倒有个更好的想法。” “什么？”罗飞刚刚问出这两个字，李延晖突然身形暴起，伴随着他右手的疾速挥出，一片刀光向着罗飞的头顶袭了过来！ 这一下变故突兀之极，罗飞毫无防备，只觉得脑门处一痛，整个人已顺势倒在了湿冷的地面上。 许晓雯一声惊呼，抢到罗飞身前，挡在了两个男人之间，同时斥问道：“你干什么？” 守在洞口的水夷垤听见圣女的呼喊，立刻冲入了洞中。李延晖“嘿”地一笑，不再与许罗二人纠缠，挥起手中的利刃，直接向水夷垤取了过去。 水夷垤立刻举刀相迎。李延晖胸口门户大开，竟似毫不防守，仅仅一个照面过去，水夷垤的弯刀便已刺在了他的心窝上。 李延晖的身体晃动了两下，然后软软地倒了下去。 罗飞挣扎着起身，他摸了摸兀在发痛的额头，那里却并无血液流出，原来对方刚才的那一刀只是以刀背相击。 罗飞看着眼前刚刚发生的一幕，不免有些愕然。水夷垤也怔怔地站在那里，他和李延晖交好的时候，曾有过几次比武，两人的本领本在伯仲之间，可这一次，对方为何如此轻易地便被自己刺中了要害？ 答案便在李延晖留给许晓雯的那封信中。 信写得很简短，但意思却足够明了： “在我死后，用我的血液重铸血瓶。杀死我的人可以成为新的首领，新的英雄。 '我一定会把血瓶送回来的。圣女们数百年的苦不能白白承受，善良的谎言还需要继续下去。 '这是我对雅库玛说过的话，我没有失约，我最终还是实现了这个承诺。 " 当然，这答案水夷垤是永远不会知晓的。即使在两天之后，当欢呼雀跃的族人将他高高抛起的时候，他的眉宇间仍带着一丝迷惑的表情，不过这迷惑很快就被荣升为部落首领的自豪感所冲没了，他昂起了头，充满了骄傲和自信。 祭祀场边的罗飞看着这一幕，他无奈地苦笑着。 雅库玛死了，安密死了，白剑恶死了，李延晖死了，所有与这故事相关的人似乎都死了，然后故事却并没有走向终点。 此时此刻，罗飞禁不住想起了索图兰大祭司在山洞外对自己说过的那句话。 “罗，死亡绝不意味着结束。相反，它是另一段轮回的开始。”
