quadruple sleep

"But why?" Hang Si asked with a puzzled expression.

Lu Nan deeply knew what she was asking with the phrase "why".

Why did the murderer fight against the soul song?Why did the murderer have to target him?Why did the murderer kill the people around him instead of him?

Lu Nanshen once couldn't figure it out, could it be because of the online provocation?

Until, Lu Nanshen found the county annals Boss Bai was talking about.

Of course, in order not to miss any clues, he also investigated the situation of Qinling.

In addition to asking the locals and some friends who like to go outdoors, there are two important people who he humbly asked for advice.

One is Jiang Li, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu clan, the woman his elder brother Lu Dong worked so hard to get, his powerful sister-in-law.When this person was "running wild" in Cangling before, she was omnipotent in heaven and earth. She married into Lumen, and after the bloody storm in Lumen, she was completely released, and would wander between heaven and earth from time to time.

She has an extremely sharp nose, so collecting herbs and making incense from the mountains is still her favorite, and she has been to the Qinling area. [For the story of the eldest son of the Lu clan, Lu Dongshen, and the scent builder, Jiang Li, please see my book "Deadly Dear"]

Jiang Li was the first person Lu Nanshen contacted.

As soon as Jiang Li heard that he wanted to inquire about Qinling, she thought he was going, so she said on the phone, "Qinling is big, it's boring where people can enter, and it's dangerous where people can't enter, Xiao Nanshen, you are obedient. Be obedient and don't run in there."

Lu Nanshen was very obedient on the phone, he hummed and said to Jiang Li, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely not enter Qinling, I just want to inquire about something."

Jiang Li is a person who has always been soft but not hard, and is extremely smart. In her words, don't care about anyone, as long as you can pretend in front of her, you will be exposed. Who told me that I have a good nose?No one can keep any secrets from me.

So when he first met Lu Nanshen, Jiang Li knew that this kid was definitely not simple, but as he got along with him, Jiang Li's thoughts changed, and he would touch Lu Nanshen's head from time to time, and said lovingly, "We So what if Xiao Nanshen is thoughtful? Geniuses are meant to be used for pain and love. Look at our Xiao Nanshen, how obedient and cute."

He really treats him like a younger brother.

Hearing that Lu Nan was inquiring about the nightmare, Jiang Li was puzzled, and asked him, "Are you sure it's...the nightmare? That thing has already made itself a legend."

She made it clear that there could be no such thing in Qinling Mountains, and she had never heard of it in Qinling Mountains several times.

Lu Nanshen found Ruan Qi again.

The herb supplier who looked somewhat similar to his sister-in-law was able to collect rare and exotic herbs from all over the world, so he naturally knew the legend about Qinling.

Ruan Qi was also very happy to receive his call, and called Xiao Jingui one by one.

This also stems from his sister-in-law, when she first met Ruan Qi, she made a final decision, "Xiao Nanshen is the baby bump of our family, you must be gentle when talking to him, don't scare him, he is a musical genius, Jingui It's on."

Ruan Qiyi and Bo Yuntian, don't worry, your younger brother is my younger brother, and I will protect Xiao Jingui from now on.

Lu Nanshen was also sweet to Ruan Qi, calling her Sister Ruan.

Ruan Qi said that every time she heard Lu Nanshen call her sister Ruan, her heart melted.

I feel that Lu Nanshen is a very, very cute little milk dog, and I want people to hold him in his arms and have a good rua.

Rao Zun had some complaints about Lu Nanshen taking the initiative to call Ruan Qi, but he couldn't bear to get angry with Lu Nanshen, and he didn't dare to be cold-hearted with Ruan Qi. A dignified prince of the capital had nowhere to let go of his depression, so he just made a phone call. To Lu Dongshen.

Lu Dongshen sneered at the king for 1000 years——

"Rao Zun, are you not confident enough to be jealous of a child?"

Ruan Qi has been to Qinling Mountains no less than five times, and even said that she knows Qinling Mountains better than Jiang Li, and told Lu Nanshen that although there are many rumors in Qinling Mountains, there is no so-called nightmare legend.

Then he said, "If you're curious, I can help you look again."

How could Lu Nanshen bother her?He kept saying no, he was just asking.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Qi smiled and said, "It's okay, your sister-in-law called me just now and said she wanted to go to Qinling to play, and asked me if I would go. Maybe it was your phone call that aroused her addiction."

Lu Nanshen: ...

"The problem is, neither your elder brother nor Rao Zun will let us go, so Xiao Jingui, we can use you as a cover."

Lu Nanshen refused without hesitation.

If something happens, let's not talk about what will happen to his elder brother, just say that Rao Zun is also a very difficult master, why should he fight against the forces in the capital when he has nothing to do? [The story about Rao Zun and Ruan Qi, the prince of the capital, is also in "Deadly Dear"]

After breaking the line of the Qinling Mountains, Lu Nanshen devoted all his energy to the Gobi Desert, especially Death Valley.

He first came to Boss Bai's hometown, a county town that was once a must-pass on the Silk Road, but was gradually swallowed up by wind and sand.

In the dilapidated county annals, Lu Nanshen really saw the record about the nightmare.

Stick figures are also there.

It's really a stick figure, still drawn with a brush and ink, with a few strokes, a huge figure, a long face, a sharp nose and mouth, and almost no eyes.

It is somewhat similar to the nightmare in "Shan Hai Jing", but not exactly the same.

Looking at the recorded time, it can be traced back to the Later Tang Dynasty.

In fact, it is no different from the legend.

But the person in charge of the county annals said that since it can be recorded in the county annals, it must exist. Didn’t the above say that some hunters strayed into the oasis and ran into a nightmare.The Orion was so distraught after returning home that he took medicine for several months before he recovered.

"Actually, it's just as I thought. It's probably a tapir. How can there be a nightmare?" Lu Nanshen said softly to them.

There are legends of the existence of nightmares in Death Valley, which adds to the mysterious atmosphere of Death Valley.

But what about lifting that veil?
Although there are only a few words in the county chronicle, it is enough, and it looks very similar to a tapir.The tapir has also existed for a long time, and it was once considered to be the nightmare mentioned in the "Shan Hai Jing". The reason why there are legends is probably due to its unappealing appearance.

"The reason why it must be the bone of a tapir is because of its special bone quality, and it is a creature that has existed on the earth for too long. Of course, I need to further verify my idea."

Nian Baixiao was very curious after hearing the words, "How to verify?"

"Make a blood whistle." Lu Nanshen said simply, "The most primitive blood whistle."

Hang Si was stunned, "You will?"

After his description, she thinks that kind of bone whistle is extremely difficult to make, right?Just looking at the one in her hand, the craftsmanship is not simple.

Lu Nanshen played with the bone whistle in his hand, "Research it, it should be able to be made."

Nian Baixiao thought for a long time, and asked him seriously, "After the dust falls to the ground, can you sell it for a good price?"

Lu Nanshen didn't even bother to correct him.

Hang Si, on the other hand, had a general understanding, "Even if it can be made, it's still a new product, and it's not worth much. Do you really think it can take people's souls away?"

When Nian Baixiao heard that it was worthless, he lost all temper.

"It's breathtaking, and I suspect it's probably because of the sound." Lu Nanshen gave his professional opinion, "Not all sounds can be heard by humans. The range of hertz is only 20-20000. Too low or too high hertz will cause problems. I can’t hear. The sound that can be heard is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the sound that cannot be heard will actually affect the human body, and even cause irreversible damage to the ear.”

Regarding the nightmare, there is another thing mentioned in the county annals.

It was also in ancient times. Some people have also encountered a nightmare. The cry of the nightmare is very strange, and hearing the sound will make people feel dizzy.Later, the man lost his way in the forest, but he didn't want to but saw the dead nightmare by the river. Under hunger, he ate the nightmare meat and took the nightmare bone as a crutch to walk all the way.

The man said that the bones of the nightmare were also strange, and the wind would leave behind an indescribable sound, like weeping, extremely uncomfortable, so he abandoned the bones and left.

This is roughly what it means when translated.

This indirectly confirmed Lu Nanshen's suspicion about the special quality of tapir bones.

It is also mentioned in the county annals that the nightmare is actually sent by heaven. It feeds on dreams, but it does not take swallowing dreams as its mission.It will take away those who doubt God or have impure thoughts, and sacrifice them to God, which is both a punishment and a warning.

"So, the purpose of using nightmare tapir bones as a whistle is the same." Lu Nanshen said, "Since ancient times, people's hearts have been cold, and no one knows whether those sacrificed are voluntary or not."

In the name of heaven, it is possible to take the opportunity to remove the stumbling block.

In the same way, the purpose of the main culprit in the Ode to the Soul case holding the blood whistle was also to regard himself as a saint who would do justice for the heavens.

"Do justice for the heavens?" Nian Baixiao murmured, thinking between his brows, "What happened to those two chiefs? What happened to the cheetah?"

Why did the murderer use them as "sacrifices"?
Lu Nan thought for a while and said, "There was a time when other bands tried to lure away the two principals with high salaries, so when they were in Band D, they had a lot of external intentions, and they followed the rules of Band D more and more, even relying on their own Seniority bullies new musicians."

This is something that Lu Nanshen only found out later.

"As for the Cheetah..." Lu Nan thought deeply, "It's not that he has nothing to do with the D Orchestra."

What could a racing driver have to do with an orchestra?
Hang Si asked, "Your fans?"

Lu Nanshen's expression looked a little strange, he cleared his throat and said, "I'm a fan of the chief cellist..."

It turned out to be the case.

Hang Si suddenly realized, but looking at Lu Nanshen's expression, he always felt that he didn't finish talking.

In fact, Lu Nanshen didn't finish his sentence. Seeing Hang Si staring at him, he licked his lips and continued, "Do you still remember what you saw in the cave?"

Hang Si remembered, "It was put away by you."

Lu Nan nodded deeply, "That's the cellist's necklace, and the cheetah also has one. They both went to Death Valley before."

He paused, and added a sentence——

"They're a couple."
