That smell was what Panma smelled from the later box, but the smell from the box was stronger.

To Panma, it smells like death. Those demons who don't know whether they are humans or ghosts must have the smell on their bodies brought from the underworld.

"Your friend also has that smell. If it wasn't covered by the smell of herbs, I would have smelled it when I saw him for the first time." Father Panma looked at me, "He and them Same, it’s also a monster in the lake!”

What does the stuffy oil bottle smell like? I’m not very sensitive to smells, and I’m not a hunter, so I don’t have a great sense of smell, so I’m dubious about it—I’ll try to smell it secretly next time.

If things end here, maybe this matter will pass. After a while, people will doubt their own memories, and will automatically erase things without explanation. However, I know that the matter is definitely not over, because just from this, Father Panma will not come to the conclusion that the stuffy oil bottle will kill me.

Sure enough, Panma continued and said that what happened next made him unable to forget this smell for the rest of his life.

After this strange thing happened, Panma always felt uneasy. Although those people seemed to be exactly the same as before, Panma always felt that there was something strange in their eyes and expressions. This feeling had no basis in fact and was completely a myth. a psychological effect. Panma had a premonition that something would happen in the village.

A few days later, something happened in the village that made his hair stand on end.

There were four other people who committed the crime with him. They were all related by blood, with slightly different distances. One of them, named Pang Ergui, was the most courageous and suddenly disappeared. Panma and several others had secrets in their hearts, and they brought them up immediately, but no one dared to tell them. The villagers went to the mountains to search for two days. Finally, Panma and the others braved the bullet and returned to the lake. They found Pang Ergui in the camp, chatting and laughing with the people in the archaeological team.

They brought him back inexplicably, and when Panma held him, they smelled that mysterious smell coming from Pang Ergui's body.

Panma started to get goosebumps when he looked at Pang Ergui in broad daylight. He immediately felt that Pang Ergui's expression was different from before, as if he was a different person.

The kind of fear was indescribable. He felt that Pang Ergui must have been possessed by a ghost. When he returned to the village, he told Pang Ergui's wife to tell him immediately if she found that her man was abnormal.

But her wife had no chance to find out. The next day, when her wife got up, she found Pang Ergui hanging by the bed. The whole house was filled with that strange smell.

The villagers thought that Pang Ergui couldn't think of it.

Perhaps he was fascinated by the fox fairy, Panma knew in his heart, and he was so frightened that he was even more sure that those people were monsters, and Pang Ergui must have been possessed.

Pang Ergui's daughter-in-law was so frightened that she no longer dared to live in that house. She moved back to her parents' home, and the house became abandoned. Several other people were so frightened that two of them moved out of the village, while Panma and the other one stayed. They did not dare to sleep at night and borrowed several dogs, fearing that they would be next.

But the dog was of no use, and a week later the other man left with him also disappeared. Two days later, a child found him in the abandoned house of Pang Ergui's family. He was hanged in the same position as Pang Ergui.

Panma has a strong nature. He has been with the mountains since he was a child, so he is very strong. After his fear reached the extreme, he risked his life and rushed to the lake with a gun. He said in his heart that it was death anyway, and he had to die clearly. He would never do it. Will sit and wait. But after he entered the mountain, the archaeological team happened to set off.

Panma met the team halfway. It seemed that they no longer needed a guide. Panma had already made a decisive decision before, but he softened as soon as he saw them. He followed the team out of the mountain fearfully.

As Panma said later, the archaeological team left the village with the box that emitted a strange smell and never appeared again, until now. Nothing happened to the people who fled to the other two villages. After Panma spent a year in fear, he gradually relaxed and believed that they were really gone.

This incident has been haunting Panma like a nightmare. I can imagine the fear. Half a month after the army left, he returned to the lake again in order to find out what happened. After walking around the lake, he found a piece of clothing that had somehow washed up on the shore. Inside the piece of clothing, he found the strange piece of iron.

The discovery of this piece of iron convinced him that these people must have climbed out of the lake, because the iron piece was in their clothes and could never be washed ashore by the lake. The piece of iron exuded a creepy smell that made his hair stand on end. He felt that it was something important, so he kept it on his body. When he was living in poverty in his early years, he wanted to sell it. Now that his life is gradually getting better, he can't help but feel a little scared when he thinks about it, so he wants to keep this secret and put it in the coffin.

Then we showed up.

The secret of Panma ends here.

After listening, I fell into deep thought for a long time. Rarely, I didn't feel more confused. For the first time, I felt that I seemed to have found a chain that could connect the doubts in my heart.

These mysteries are like double-ended threaded steel pipes. Every connection is a mystery. But if you connect two of the mysteries, then two of the four mysteries will be lost. If you connect all the steel pipes, there will be so many. The mystery may only be the first and last two. So the mysteries are connected one by one, which makes people very happy.

If it were me before, I would definitely go crazy, but now I have learned not to look at the problem itself. I am clearly aware of the truth of this matter. This matter needs to be verified. If my idea is correct, Then, the third uncle, or rather the question that Xie Lianlian has been wondering about, will have the answer.

To prove this, you have to go to the lake.

Panma's father took out the piece of iron and showed it to me. It was indeed the same as the piece found under Menyoupin's bed. It was the same iron lump with simple patterns on it, but Panma's piece was slightly larger. I smelled it specifically, and sure enough I smelled a strange smell, very light and almost indistinguishable. Dad said that when he first discovered it, the smell was very strong. Gradually, the smell disappeared little by little. When the iron block was placed at home, there were no bugs in the house.

I temporarily lost interest in this thing, and my mind was filled with my speculations.

Panma refused to go to the lake again. I thought about asking Agui to find another guide, so I gave Panma the money and stood up to leave.

When I arrived at the door, I suddenly thought of something else and turned around and asked, "By the way, Dad, how did you get the tattoo on your body?"

Panma looked at me, a little surprised that I suddenly asked this. His son explained for him: "This is a tattoo to prevent poisons. It was tattooed for him by a passing Miao wizard when he was a child. My grandfather saved his tattoo at that time." He gave my father this tattoo to thank me for my fate. It is said that with this tattoo, you can pass through the Miao village without any hindrance, and no one will make things difficult for you." ④Read on Tianshu Chinese website
