Chapter 438 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (46)
Qi Mu also found out.His eyes became sharper, staring at the slightly shaking tree shadow over there.

The thing hid behind a tree and seemed to be spying here.

what is it !Qi Mu didn't dare to be careless, the silver needle in his sleeve was already on standby.As long as the opponent dared to rush over, he would shoot the silver needle without hesitation.Just thinking about it, there was another "crash", and a figure suddenly rushed out.

"Where is the evildoer?!" Mi Kaka yelled loudly to embolden him, but he retreated behind Qi Mu in fright.

Just when Qi Mu's silver needle was about to shoot out, "Don't be nervous, it's me."

It turned out that it was Lin Shan standing there with his hands raised.The frail rich man smiled awkwardly at Qi Mu and Mi Kaka, and coughed hard twice.He calmly took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"Shocked you. Sorry."

Didn't it frighten Mikaka?He was still in shock, and hurriedly covered his chest and panted: "My mother! Classmate Lin, why are you pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight?!"

"Why are you here?" Qi Mu slowly lowered his arm, and retracted the silver needle.

Lin Shan said in a gentle manner: "I'm sorry, both of you. I didn't mean it. I wanted to come to the cliff to check the situation, but I didn't expect to meet you. It's better to meet you by chance than to invite you. Let's go together."

"That's very good, very good." Mikaka replied politely.

Qi Mu ignored the two and walked forward without saying a word.

In this way, we all go hand in hand.They passed through a section of deep shade, and after a while, Qi Mu in front suddenly stopped.

Here is the cliff.

The eyes suddenly opened up, and a strong mountain wind blew, and there was an abyss below.I saw the rugged mountain wall, such a steep place, as if a person stood on it, it would be blown away by the strong wind like a piece of paper.

With the mountain wind blowing head-on, Lin Shan said: "The housekeeper didn't lie to us. This is a dead end."

Mikaka was also disappointed, and looked at the cliff with her head and sighed in frustration: "Hey! There is high voltage in front, and there is a cliff in the back. We can't escape!"

"Don't be discouraged." Lin Shan comforted him: "There is no unparalleled road."

"I hope so," Mikaka said.

The three of them were about to turn back the same way.

At this time, Qi Mu suddenly found an unusual mark on the ground, and immediately squatted down to check.It was a row of abrupt footprints, the traces were deep, and it seemed that they had just appeared not long ago.

"Are these human footprints?" Mikaka wondered.

These footprints are very different from human footprints, with slender four toes, more like the footprints of a reptile.

Could it be... a lizard? !

Although everyone thought of the same creature, no one wanted to admit it, because if these footprints really belonged to a lizard, then this lizard was too big, bigger than the monitor lizard kept in the iron cage!
So, where is this unknown creature going?

Everyone searched along the traces, and unexpectedly found a hidden path.The path is covered by forest vegetation and leads down a slope.

Seeing this, Mi Kaka was overjoyed, "Could it be, this is the way out?!"

Qi Mu felt strange: "I'm afraid there is something strange about it."

If there is such a way, it is impossible for Ran Xiao and the housekeeper not to know.Unless they deliberately conceal it.

Anyway, check it out first.

So, the three of them walked down the path.This road is built along the cliff, and only allows two people to pass in parallel. If you are not careful, you will fall into the bottom of the cliff.After walking for a while, a cave appeared in front of us.The hole isn't that big and doesn't look like a way out.However, how could such a cave appear on this cliff?

With doubts, the three of them leaned forward and entered the cave.But seeing the rugged rocks, the sound of ding-dong water coming from somewhere on the wall of the cave, the interior of the cave shows the traces of nature's time.At first glance, there is nothing special about this hole.However, not long after they left, a half-human tall lizard stone statue came into view.

This stone statue is exactly the same as the stone statue in the temple, but it is much smaller in size.It stared at the three visitors with cruel eyes, bared its teeth and bared its teeth, and its ferocious appearance made people creepy.

"What kind of place is this?" Mikaka looked around in fear.

This cliff cave looks more and more mysterious.In addition to the stone statue of the lizard god, there is also a mural on the cave wall.

Qi Mu turned on the bright light of the phone, taking pictures and watching at the same time.

The color of the murals has been mottled and peeled off, showing a long time.The level of the painter is extremely high, vividly depicting an ancient mythological scene: a huge lizard similar to a lizard statue appears in the painting, and a group of human beings are worshiping under its feet, offering offerings for sacrifice.

The three of them walked in again and were suddenly taken aback.At the end of the cave, there are piles of white bones!

"Wow! This..." Mikaka was taken aback by the sudden scene, and layers of cold sweat came out from behind.

In front of his eyes, there are countless white bones all over the depths of the cave, with different postures.The skull opened its mouth wide, as if wailing, and the empty eye sockets seemed to be filled with resentment.Thousands of years of grievances linger in this place.

Mikaka's teeth were chattering: "Why...how come there are so many skeletons?"

He found that these skeletons looked very thin, not like adults.

But at this moment, a deep male voice came from behind: "Why are you here?"

Its appearance made the trio, who were already nervous, turn their backs and turn their heads reflexively.

When he saw it, Ran Xiao was standing behind him.He was on crutches and his face was clouded.

It could be seen that he did not welcome these three uninvited guests.But he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, walked up to the three of them, and said, "This cave is where the ancients worshiped the lizard god."

"What kind of sacrificial method?" Mikaka asked redundantly.

He got terrible answers.

"People sent virgins and virgins into caves, where they were eaten by the lizard gods."

Ran Xiao spoke calmly, but Mi Kaka felt cold in her heart, and said to herself: This sacrifice to the lizard god is really cruel.

After Ran Xiao explained, she didn't want to say any more.He told the three people that this cave was forbidden by Ran's family, and idlers were not allowed to enter.Legend has it that trespassers will suffer bad luck.

"Therefore, you'd better leave quickly." He said, then turned around to lead people away.

Mi Kaka and the others saw that the owner's house had issued an order to evict guests, so they couldn't stay any longer, so they had to follow Ran Xiao out.

They were about to follow the path back to the cliff when suddenly—

"Meow!" A fat yellow cat blocked the road.

Everyone couldn't help but stop.

"Where did the cat come from?" Ran Xiao was quite surprised.He doesn't remember ever having a cat in the family.

"It seems that no one has brought the cat." Mikaka said.

He found that Qi Mu in front of him stepped back a few steps strangely, as if he was facing a big enemy, and seemed to regard the cat as a monster.

It's just a cat...

By the way, is it a stray cat?It doesn't look like it. This cat is fat and fat, with smooth fur. It looks like someone's pet.But how could a pet cat come to the cliff?
That was weird in itself, but the fat cat meowed and suddenly jumped at them with all its fangs and claws.

"Hey! Be careful!"

Due to the narrow and dangerous path, everyone had to retreat into the cave.

At this moment, "shasha", a few fine powders spilled from the cliff.

In an instant, with the loud bang of "Gudong", a huge shadow suddenly fell from above his head.The moment everyone retreated into the cave, a tree trunk fell from the cliff, smashed hard on the path and rolled down to the bottom of the cliff.

Thick cold sweat came out from everyone's back.

If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of that fat cat, these people would have suffered!Speaking of it, it is their savior.However, at this time it was gone.When Mikaka was searching for the cat, Qi Mu rushed out.

"There's someone up there!"

At the same time, but hearing the sound of "cracking" coming from above the cliff, a figure quickly got into the dense woods.Qi Mu wanted to catch up but couldn't, so he turned back angrily.

"Who is it?" Lin Shan asked with a serious face.

Obviously, both he and Qi Mu believed that the tree trunk did not fall for no reason, but someone did it on purpose.

The opponent's purpose seems to be to put them to death.

Qi Mu looked around at his companions before slowly saying, "What I saw...is the Lizard God."

More precisely, a lizard-like back.It is dark green all over and has a tail, which is the appearance characteristic of lizards.

But the problem is, it walks upright.

"Everyone."

In the living room, Qi Mu called everyone together. "May I ask where you were and what were you doing?"

His words immediately sparked discussions.

Yu Zhan and the others looked at each other, puzzled.After Mi Kaka explained, they realized that Mi Kaka and others were attacked on the edge of the cliff just now, and Qi Mu suspected that the culprit was among them.

"I was in the yard with Ah Chong just now." Yu Zhan and Li Xiaochong had alibi.

"We've been in the living room, the housekeeper can attest to that."

Suspects of Gu Yingliang, Ran Yuxuan, Ding Lihan, and the butler Zhang can also be ruled out.

"I'm looking at the paintings upstairs." Xie Xiuzhe pointed to the second floor. When he was looking at the paintings, other people witnessed him, so he didn't have time to commit the crime.

The only thing left is the strange girl in the bamboo hat.

She stayed in the room the entire time, and no one knew what she was doing, or if she had sneaked out.She didn't even attend this impromptu convening.

At this moment, she suddenly appeared in the corridor on the second floor, looking down at the people in the living room.

Her face is still hidden behind the veil,
She looked at everyone, and everyone looked at her.

After a brief silence, she turned around and walked back into the room without saying a word.

This person is the most suspicious.

No.12 The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building

The day passed, and at last all was well.
