Liu Canli was obviously not as energetic as Gong Yong. When Qiaoer came in, he didn't even bother to say hello. He just lay on the bed, frowning in pain and ouching. Seeing his haggard appearance, Qiaoer was shocked and said, "You are so sick, why don't you go to the hospital?" Liu Canli said, "How did I know, oh, it would be so serious? I paid it back last night, oh..." Qiaoer hurriedly said: "Forget it, stop talking. Brother He Jianfei asked me to ask you, what do you hear when you have tinnitus?" Liu Canli said: "A woman, oops, is singing an off-key song. There are also a lot of messy sounds mixed in, oh, I'm going crazy." Qiao'er asked: "Is it like an out-of-tune record player playing a cracked bad record?" Liu Canli looked at Qiao'er. At one glance, although he had a headache, he couldn't help but smile: "You must have gone to Gong Yong's place first." Qiao'er asked curiously: "How did you know that I went to his place?" Liu Canli said: "He talked to me on the phone yesterday , we discussed the experience of tinnitus for a long time. Go see him, how is he?" Qiao'er said: "It's much better than you. Judging from your appearance, it's better to go to the hospital." Liu Canli gritted his teeth and said: "I can't help it. The hospital is very noisy, I could collapse without tinnitus, so the dormitory should be quieter."

Liu Canli glanced at the puppet in Qiao'er's hand and said, "That guy Gong Yong is sick and doesn't take a good rest, so he still does this crappy thing?" Qiao'er said, "By the way, I heard you have one too. If so, If there are more, can you give me one?" Liu Canli said with a grimace: "Who likes to make this thing? He tried his best to get me to sign up for that damn handicraft class. I cut my hand five times a month and came back. She was so excited that she forced me to do it together, like a woman! I have a few in the drawer on my desk, and if you want to give them all away, I already want to throw them in the trash can." Qiaoer heard that there are a few. , I was overjoyed, and when I quickly opened the drawer and took a look, I saw lying inside a few menacing ghosts who were either missing arms or legs, their faces were swollen, or their hair was like hay, with crooked eyebrows and squinting eyes, and they were staring at me with bared teeth. , screamed instantly, closed the drawer and escaped, panting and said to the depressed Liu Canli: "Well... I support your decision, it's better to throw it away early." Liu Canli said listlessly: "Miss, you It’s so shocking…”

"Brother, if there's nothing wrong, let's go out. The police are coming to take over today. If they see us staying in there for a long time, they will ask." Xu Chuan looked at He Jianfei who was walking around the body and looking at it but was silent. He said helplessly. He Jianfei suddenly said "Hey" and said, "This is not what my brother said." When Xu Chuan hurriedly came over to take a look, he saw a corpse holding some wild flowers and weeds tightly in his hands: "This is..." He Jianfei said: "The gypsophila and the young buds of the cherry blossom tree are not found on my brother's road." Xu Chuan said: "Then where is this?" He Jianfei said: "On campus, only the cherry blossom road can be found." Xu Chuan was curious. He said: "How do you know?" He Jianfei paused and then said calmly: "Because I planted these with my own hands... to commemorate someone."

After bidding farewell to Xu Chuan, He Jianfei came to Cherry Blossom Road alone. He couldn't tell how many years it had been since he had walked this road properly. He was deliberately avoiding it, not only to avoid this road, but also to avoid the period of serious illness in his heart. He was always glad that his brother Dao was not involved in Sakura Road. Unexpectedly, fate would eventually lead him back here. Is this road really a lingering nightmare on campus? Almost telepathically, He Jianfei saw the traces of being grabbed on the grass at a glance. He quickly stepped forward and squatted down. He saw that the surrounding grass did show signs of being crushed. In other words, these three The real place where the classmate died was not on Brother Road, but on Sakura Road not far from Brother Road. Next to the pressed grass, a cluster of gray-white ash caught He Jianfei's attention. Next to the ash, there were some wood chips. He Jianfei dipped some of the ash into his mouth and tasted it. Suddenly, his whole body was shocked and he said: "Is this... ashes?! Did something really happen on Sakura Road?"

The gorgeous cherry blossoms in the sky slowly flew down in the wind, covering the messy sky stars, and then circled again, floating to the distant horizon. The beautiful scenery at this moment was enriched by the blood of extinction. A hint of sadness and poignancy, but also a hint of horror and sorrow. Who the hell actually chose to cause trouble on Cherry Blossom Road again? If I want to find out, I have to settle the accounts! He Jianfei tightly grasped the cluster of gypsophila with an expression of sadness, anger and determination. On a cherry blossom tree in the distance, among the diffuse colors, sat a girl in white. She looked quietly at He Jianfei below. After a long time, she shook her head and said in a low voice: "I will take action eventually. What I want after all…”

|At this time, the cell phone rang suddenly, but it was a call from the hospital, saying that Old Man Li had severe tinnitus and was about to be hospitalized. Uncle Li also has tinnitus? He Jianfei was really shocked. He hurried to the campus hospital and happened to bump into Aqiang who was wandering in the corridor. He said to He Jianfei seriously: "The situation is not good. It seems that the tinnitus is weird. We live there." That room was full of resentment, and there were many evil spirits hovering around it. No wonder he was so seriously ill." He Jianfei said strangely: "You are a resentful spirit yourself, how could you possibly feel the resentment?" Ah Qiang said, "It's not me. It seems like you have another companion here. They are waiting for you in the hotel. You should go back quickly. Xiao Li is fine. I am here, so don’t worry." Companion? He Jianfei rushed back confused.

I couldn't wait to push open the door of the hotel room, and I saw a boy wearing a funny Taoist robe, but also a fashionable modern hat on his head, and a pair of nondescript travel shoes, looking at the scenery clinically. He Jianfei couldn't laugh or cry. Although he couldn't see his face, he almost guessed who it was right away: "Lone Xinghan?!" The man turned around and said happily: "You're back?" He Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief: " It’s great to have you here too.”

It turns out that Gu Xinghan is not an ordinary person. There were many lay disciples in both Buddhism and Taoism at that time, and various sects secretly competed, causing a lot of troubles. Therefore, Master Zhi, the abbot of Mount Wutai, proposed to hold a competition for the first disciple to determine the best disciple of Buddhism and Taoism. The number of first disciples can be used to settle disputes and also inspire future generations. He Jianfei won the title of "The First Disciple of Buddhism" without much effort due to his solid foundation and superb magic skills. Gu Xinghan reached the finish line almost at the same time as He Jianfei and easily won the title of "The First Disciple of Taoism" . This Lone Star Han is a disciple of Master Tianji, the leader of Zhongnan Mountain. His original name is Chen Xinghan. He is talented, smart and well-behaved. When he was young, he was deduced that he was destined to commit the crime of Tiansha Lone Star and should be alone for the rest of his life. He angrily went to Zhongnan Mountain to become a disciple. He vowed to use what he learned to change his destiny, so he was often jokingly called "Lone Star Han" by people in the magic world. Over time, Lone Star Han became his official title.

He Jianfei looked at Lone Xinghan's attire and said, "I know you want to promote Taoism, but you are a lay disciple. There is no need to always wear Taoist robes to run around, right? Just wear it. I'll ask you to also wear the Taoist crown. , what does it mean for you to wear a woolen hat? If you go out for two seconds, you will definitely be arrested as a mental illness!" Lone Xinghan said: "It's not that I don't want to wear it, that hat is so heavy, I wore it for two days There are bleeding marks from being strangled." He Jianfei said: "Then you don't even need to wear Taoist robes." Lone Xinghan said seriously: "How can this be allowed? As a Taoist disciple, I must serve to promote Taoist culture in every move I make. Although hard work is weak, it counts as a person if you can infect one person, and you count as a person if you can educate someone..." He Jianfei was laughing and hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, you wear it, wear it, Wear whatever you like. Let's talk about business, why are you here?" Lone Star Han said: "I was summoned back by Master. He said that something big happened here. He asked me to come here quickly. What happened? Is it a big deal? Even you can't handle it?" "Something big happened?" He Jianfei said confused: "I do have something going on here, but it's just a bit tricky. I can't find a clue, so I'm still investigating. Is something big happening? ? Why don't I know?" Lone Star Han said: "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? My master said that a big disaster is going to happen to you. It is the two words that the intelligent master said before he passed away: Seven Paths of Reincarnation, Cherry Blossoms Li Hun." He Jianfei was shocked and said: "What? Those two sentences my master said are great catastrophes??" Seeing He Jianfei so surprised, Lone Xinghan didn't know how to explain it: "Did my master say too much? Or have I misunderstood? But my master has always said that Master Zhi died of mental and physical exhaustion because of his enlightenment on the great tribulation of Buddhism. However, although he understood and overcome this tribulation, he did not know how to solve it, so my master and you Senior brother and the others have been planning, thinking of sending us over first to inquire about it, and then discuss it. After I ran over, I discovered that Xu Chuan, Qiaoer and the others were all here. Why are you still in the dark about such a big battle?" He Jianfei He said: "Elder brother didn't say anything to me. Since the masters are going to take action, it would be great. I can withdraw from now on. It's really Amitabha." Lone Xinghan said: "I don't think I may withdraw. Come on, why did you send the three of us down alone this time? Master said that we are all destined to be doomed, and we can’t go back until the doom is over. Tell me first, what big thing happened?"

He Jianfei had no choice but to curse the blood, his brother said, sticks and other things one by one. Lone Xinghan was very happy to hear it, and at the end he kept asking: "Then what? Then what?" He Jianfei waved his hands and said: " Then I got sick, and then I sat here with you and talked for a long time, and then it was time to go to eat. I didn’t eat breakfast, so I was not far from starving to death." Lone Xinghan had no choice but to order takeout and eat together, and He Jianfei Asked him: "I heard that you met Senior Aqiang and said that there is so much resentment in our house? Why didn't I feel it?" Lone Xinghan said: "The resentful spirits seem to have been deliberately driven here to gather. I think you came prepared. As soon as you walked away, they came in with their hind legs. You took away all the magic weapons. Of course, Senior Aqiang couldn't see anything unusual." He Jianfei said: "Speaking of this murderer, It's a bit strange. Have you heard about the ghost road? This kind of evil spirit will either confront you head-on or attack you with a sneak attack. But this time the evil spirit that appeared in the campus acted erratically and evasively. I don't dare to meet you, and I want to secretly kill one or two people from time to time. I feel like I'm playing hide-and-seek. I don't know what I want to do?" Lone Xinghan said: "If he could meet, he would have met earlier. He must be not strong enough and he is delaying. Time." He Jianfei said: "I also thought that it might be delaying time, but there are only those who are stronger than us in terms of strength." Then he told him about the loss of the Universe Mirror. Gu Xinghan said in surprise: "Even the Universe Mirror was defeated. It seems like it's really a big deal. Oh, I regret not bringing the Seven-Star Longquan Sword over." He Jianfei said dumbfounded: "Stop thinking about the magic weapon, the first disciple competition You were like this when you were there, and you almost broke the rules."

While we were chatting, Qiaoer came back. When he saw Lone Xinghan, he was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Great, Senior Brother Xinghan is here too! Senior Brother He, let me introduce to you. This is the famous first disciple of Taoism. ." Lone Star Han smiled and said: "Who wants you to introduce me? We are familiar with each other. Every time Longhua holds meetings, we are the only two holding incense." Qiaoer smiled and said: "By the way, I forgot, what about the two first disciples? Why don't we know each other? Now that we have all the strong players, there will be a good show." He Jianfei smiled bitterly and said, "I bet you are all here to see the show?" Suddenly he saw the cute one in Qiaoer's hand. The puppet asked: "Did you buy it?" Qiao'er said: "No, Gong Yong gave it to me. He is so good at making puppets. He can't compare to someone else." He Jianfei said: "Who is someone?" Qiao'er told the story about Liu Canli's ghost heads, and everyone laughed. He Jianfei said: "If you don't want me, I will bring those ghost heads over one day and have a look. They are the best if they can be carved like this. You Can you show me that puppet?" Qiao'er handed the puppet to He Jianfei. He Jianfei looked at the lifelike face and suddenly sneered in his heart: Puppet... Guitou... Let's take a hand-making class together. These have nothing to do with each other. things, but there is a hidden clue that connects them all. It seems that one of the three major mysteries on campus is about to be solved!

Over there, Qiaoer was heard giggling and telling Lone Star Han about two people having tinnitus after hearing a record. Lone Star Han said in confusion: "I heard a woman singing? What kind of tinnitus is this? Why have I never had this kind of tinnitus?" Have you ever had tinnitus? What did you sing?" Qiao'er said, "It's not just singing, there are also a lot of messy sounds mixed together, and they can't hear clearly." Singing? He Jianfei's heart was moved and he asked: "Which one is more seriously ill, Gong Yong or Liu Canli?" Qiao'er didn't know why He Jianfei asked this, so he replied, "Gong Yong's illness is less severe, while Liu Canli's is more serious." He Jianfei nodded secretly, but As he was thinking about it, the cell phone on his belt rang again, but it was Old Man Li calling, saying that he heard the sound of a woman singing. He Jianfei asked: "Did you hear clearly what was being sung?" Old Man Li said: "I'm not sure. I just vaguely heard something like "Under the Cherry Blossoms." After listening to that song, I had a headache and couldn't sleep." He Jianfei said. : "I understand. I'll give you something later so that you won't have tinnitus. Now go to sleep."

Qiao'er asked in surprise: "Brother, can you cure tinnitus?" He Jianfei hung up the phone and said, "I'm afraid it's not tinnitus. I think I have solved the mystery of my brother's way." "Really?" Lone Xinghan asked Qiao'er. The two people stood up tall and said: "What is the answer to the mystery? Tell me quickly!" He Jianfei said: "Didn't Chang Xiaojun say it before? Before Xiao Wu died, he kept screaming "Brother, brother, brother, brother." Qiao'er said: " But it is said that he has no brother, and he is the eldest in the family." He Jianfei said: "After Chang Xiaojun understood him as his elder brother, Xiao Wu showed a disappointed look. This shows that Chang Xiaojun understood it wrong, and we all understood it wrong. This brother Not Brother Big. Xiao Wu was on the verge of death at that time, and he no longer had the strength to shout out simple sentences. What he desperately wanted to scream, and what he wanted to leave behind was a death warning to future generations and a true condolences to the murderer. Expose! That brother is not the brother of the elder brother, but the one who sings! The people who died on the elder brother's path, except for the three yesterday, all died under the singing of a girl. This is the truth about the elder brother's path!" Lone Star Han He Jianfei said: "Did their tinnitus give you a hint?" He Jianfei said: "Actually, I have long suspected that the meaning of brother should be a homophone, but after much thought, I can't think of a more suitable word. Now the truth is finally revealed. Well, since the singing can make the three of them have headaches, then there is no problem in killing people naturally. This time the girl in white showed mercy, which is also a warning to us. Next time she will really kill people, but she What is the purpose? What is her identity? Does she have anything to do with the stick and the bloody curse?" Lone Xinghan said: "You can find out if you go to our school to find out?" He Jianfei said : "She is not even afraid of the statue of Sun Yat-sen. Couldn't she be from another school? Seven reincarnations, cherry blossom souls, seven reincarnations, cherry blossom souls. It seems that the real catastrophe that the master talks about is not the way of the elder brother, not the stick. It's not a bloody curse, but this girl in white, this cherry blossom road that has always seemed unrelated but closely linked behind it. It's really fate. The hotbed of campus fear all started from this road. I don't know if it has any A day of complete peace.”
