It was past noon, and the sky gradually became gloomy. The sky above Shimen Village seemed to be shrouded in a mist, which made everyone in Jiuji Mountain feel very depressed.

Mu Pengfei looked at Chu Nan and Miao Qi suspiciously, not understanding what kind of riddle they were playing, so he asked Chu Nan:
"If you find anything, just say it. Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. Everyone will prosper, and everyone will lose."

Chu Nan lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "I saw those lotus root fields, and there seemed to be people."

After everyone heard this, they quickly looked into the lotus root field, but they only saw lotus leaves floating on the duckweed, and they didn't see any figure at all.

It's just that what's hidden under the duckweed is unknown, and no one dares to uncover it.

"Uncle Chu, what should we do now?" Yan Lin asked while tugging at Chu Nan's clothes.

Others also looked at Chu Nan, including Mu Pengfei.

"Before we just kept looking for the scarecrow, now we will check those houses carefully to see if we can find some clues."

This is the only way Chu Nan can think of at the moment. The village head and his wife are not seen during the day, and the village head’s grandson can’t be touched. Since we can’t start with living things, let’s look for some dead things first to see if we can get anything. Discover.

Afterwards, several people divided into two teams and acted separately. It was not long before dark at this time, and everyone put down their grudges for the time being and worked together.

Chu Nan took his two daughters and searched from the east of the village, opening every cabinet and every container that could hold things, without missing any clues.

They found that many of the valuables in the house were still there, and the home furnishings were normal, as if these people had something to do and went out temporarily. In short, these people should have disappeared very suddenly.

Finally, when he found a private house, Chu Nan got something.

Although this private house is very simple, it is well organized. One of the rooms is full of books. The owner of this house should be a scholar.

Chu Nan found a diary in this private house.

The first part of the diary records the daily life of the owner of the diary. From these daily routines, it can be judged that the owner of the diary is a teacher in Shimen Village, who is responsible for teaching the young children in the village.

It is not until the last few pages that something very special is recorded.

"Recently, Ping'er is a little strange. She always sneaks out when I teach my children..."

"I asked her where she went, and she either refused to tell, or said she went to the next door to Zhang's mother's house..."

"I went to ask Mama Zhang, and Mama Zhang said that Ping'er was indeed with her, but I always felt that something was wrong..."

The last few pages of the diary record the affairs of the owner of the diary and his wife Pinger. The owner of the diary seems to suspect that his wife is having an affair with the son of the village chief.

On the last page of the diary, it is written:

"The village head said that he can prove his son's innocence. I don't believe it. He must just want to protect his son. Just write it down here. The village head told me to gather under the big locust tree. I'm going to have a look. How can he prove his son's innocence."

On the last page of the diary, there were only a few lines, and the village chief was mentioned on it. Chu Nan deduced that the owner of the diary should have had an accident after writing this diary, so the diary was interrupted.

It's a pity that this diary didn't include any date, otherwise Chu Nan could roughly infer the time when the whole thing happened.

"Who is this person who doesn't even write the date in the diary!" Yan Lin pouted, contemptuous of the owner of the diary's behavior of not writing the date.

"It's definitely not a serious person." Chu Nan said casually while flipping through the diary repeatedly.

"Senior Brother Chu, why did you say that this person is not a decent person?" Zheng Yuee asked curiously.

"Who is a serious person who keeps a diary?" Chu Nan said with a light smile, and put the diary in his arms.

Zheng Yue'e and Yan Lin naturally didn't understand this stalk, so they had to follow Chu Nan out of the house in a daze, to join Mu Pengfei and the others.

Shimen Village, under the big locust tree.

At this time, it was Youshi, and it was not long before dark.

"What did you find?" Mu Pengfei asked as soon as they met.

Chu Nan took out the diary from his pocket and threw it at Mu Pengfei.

Mu Pengfei flipped through it casually, and said, "This is just an ordinary diary, what's the use?"

"You say so, it seems that you have found something useful?" Chu Nan asked back.

Mu Pengfei smiled triumphantly, and casually threw an old book to Chu Nan.

This book is very old, and the paper has turned yellow and hardened, but fortunately, the writing on it is still clear.

There are some symbols that Chu Nan doesn't recognize, mixed with some words, and some illustrations, like a religious document.

"What is this?" Chu Nan asked, from the words she could understand, she couldn't tell what the book recorded.

When Mu Pengfei saw Chu Nan's question, he felt proud. He finally overwhelmed Chu Nan.

This book contains some symbols and languages ​​unique to religion. On the surface, the words are easy to recognize, but after adding those weird symbols, their real meaning is completely different from the surface meaning of the words.

"This is the old calendar, which is mostly used in some religious sacrifices. I am fortunate to have learned some of these characters. It is not a problem to translate this book."

Mu Pengfei couldn't help showing off in front of Chu Nan and the others. He continued:
"This book records a technique of praying for gods. It is said that the god of truth can come, and the god of truth can distinguish whether everything in the world is true or not. When the god of truth descends, it means that the truth will come. come down to earth."

After hearing Mu Pengfei's explanation, Chu Nan had some guesses based on the contents of the diary she had seen before.

"I know what's going on!" Yan Lin said suddenly.

"You know? Tell me!" Zheng Yue'e urged, and the others also looked at Yan Lin.

Yan Lin confidently took the diary from Mu Pengfei, pointed at it, and said:
"The diary says that the diary owner's wife had an affair with the village chief's son. The diary owner found out about it and spread it."

"And the village chief's son denied having an affair with the diary owner's wife, so the village chief came up with a way to invite the god of truth to come down to prove what his son said was true, so as to return his son's innocence!"

"And when the diary is recorded here, it ends. It must be that there was a problem in the process of inviting the gods, which caused the entire village to die!"

After Yan Lin finished speaking, she puffed up her chest confidently. She felt that her deduction must be the truth of the matter.

"Junior Sister Yan, what went wrong when you asked God?"

Zheng Yuee frowned and asked, and Yan Lin handed the diary to Chu Nan, saying:

"I don't know that either!"
