After Wang Dong simply checked Ouyang Feng's body, he asked Shi Potian: "Brother Shi, when did you discover Mr. Ouyang?"

Shi Potian was shocked and replied, "It was this morning that I had breakfast and came to the back mountain to play. As I walked into the cave, I couldn't tell the words and didn't know what was written on the wall, so I looked around randomly. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the fifth stone chamber, I happened to see Mr. Ouyang lying here, with his eyes open and bleeding from his seven orifices.

I thought he was deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare me, so I called him Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang, but he ignored me and did not blink. I wanted to go up and pat him. Who knew that as soon as his hand touched his shoulder, he fell down. I hurriedly reached out to find out that he had been dead for a long time, and it was not that he was pretending to be a ghost to scare me..."

Wang Dong pondered silently, listening carefully to Shi Potian's narration, while observing his expression calmly.

"Two people died in two days, so there is a big problem with this Xiake Island."

Linghu Chong also looked at Ouyang Feng's body and did not find it particularly. "Let's go to find the old servant and ask him when the owner of Xiake Island will come back."

Wang Dong agreed. He was not interested in the island owner of Xiake Island, and he wanted to ask the old servant another thing.

So the five left the cave and went to find the short and thin old man.

The short and thin old man was preparing lunch for the guests in the kitchen. When he saw the five people coming together, he was puzzled and asked: "How come a few distinguished guests remember the little old man's kitchen? Could it be that they are hungry? Haha, don't worry, the food will be ready soon."

When everyone saw him chatting and laughing, they became more suspicious. Linghu Chong said, "Old man, have you seen Mr. Ouyang this morning?"

The old servant shook his head and said, "No, I got up early in the morning and tried the Five Animal Fist as usual, and then came to the kitchen to prepare lunch for you. Why, Mr. Ouyang is gone?"

"He is dead." Linghu Chong stared at the old servant with a bright look.

"Ah!" The old servant's expression changed, but he quickly calmed down, "Die?"

Linghu Chong asked replies without answering: "When will your master come back? What is his purpose inviting us here?"

"When will the master come back?" the old servant repeated, then shook his head, "The little old man really doesn't know. He just told me to greet you well. When the time is right, he will come back to see you."

"We will all die by then. Who will he see when he comes back?"

"Ah." The old servant opened his mouth in surprise and said after a while: "Master said, if you are a distinguished guest who wants to leave Xiake Island, you can leave at any time. The old man can arrange a ship for you."

Linghu Chong said: "Now we have lost two companions, so we have to stay here to find out the truth. How can we leave just by saying that?"

The old servant said, "I have lived on this island for decades and have never encountered any strange situation. There are no monsters, ghosts, and birds of prey and beasts on the island. It has always been peaceful. Why did Daxia Li and Mr. Ouyang be killed one after another?"

As soon as these words were said, the people were all moved:

There is no weirdness on the island, so the one who makes trouble is naturally one of the seven guests.

Although none of the five people looked at each other, they might have doubted each other in their hearts.

After Linghu Chong finished asking, Wang Dong pretended to be casual and asked casually: "Old man, have you ever changed candles for my room?"

The old servant shook his head blankly, "How dare the little old man enter and exit the guests' rooms at will?"

Wang Dong smiled slightly and nodded.

When Linghu Chong saw him suddenly ask this question, he was curious and asked Wang Dong: "Brother Wang, is there anything strange about the candle in your room?"

Wang Dong was not ready to hide it and said, "I don't know what the candles in your rooms are like. There are six candlesticks in my room, numbered separately, and arranged in the order of 256147..."

Ah Qing suddenly continued: "So much mine."

Wang Dong nodded and said, "The first night, I sat on the bed and meditated and practiced. When I finished my exercise in the middle of the night, I found that one of the candles had been blown out. The number of the candles that were blown out was '2', and I didn't pay attention at that time.

Until last night, I found that the blown out candle holder was gone, replaced by a candle holder numbered ‘3’, which I still didn’t care. Then the same happened again. Before going to bed late last night, I found that the candle numbered ‘5’ was blown out.”

The old servant asked, "It is not surprising that the wind on the island is strong at night and the lights are often blown out."

Wang Dong said: "But the wind on the island has eyes that it knows which candle to blow out? And the number of the candle that blow out happens to be the same as that of Mr. Li Daxia and Mr. Ouyang's room number. This is a coincidence."

"What did you say?" Linghu Chong was the first to react, "Are you saying that the number of the blown out candle is the same as that of Brother Li and Mr. Ouyang's room number?"

"That's right." Wang Dong affirmed, "It seems that the blown out candle is a foreshadowing of the murder of Daxia Li and Mr. Ouyang."

Linghu Chong said: "I go to bed early every night, but I didn't pay attention to the candle problem. Is there anyone else like this?"

A Qing and Shi Potian were both confused and shook their heads, saying that they had never paid attention to the candle.

Ximen Chuxue said: "I like to sit in the darkness."

It means that I have never paid attention to candles.

Linghu Chong thought for a while and said, "How about this, the five of us gathered in Brother Wang's room tonight, and then guarded the candles together to see if the candle number is in contact with each other's room."

Wang Dong said: "I am just thinking about this."

In fact, Linghu Chong's proposal also implies another meaning, that is, he wants to eliminate the possibility of "the murderer is among them" through this method.

Ah Qing and Shi Potian may not understand the meaning, but they are both easier to talk to and have no objection. Ximen Chuxue obviously understands that Linghu Chong is inspecting the murderer, so he has no objection.

"Okay, then from now on, let's act together and don't separate anymore, so as not to be defeated by the murderers."

So, all day that day, the five people sat in the stone house and chatted. Of course, it was mainly Wang Dong and Linghu Chong who were chatting.

"Mr. Ouyang is obsessed with martial arts in this life. In order to learn superior martial arts, he even uses any means. Therefore, I can understand that he came to Xiake Island this time, but I don't know why Brother Linghu, who is determined to smile and provoke the world, is also trapped on this island."

Wang Dong was curious about each person's purpose and motivation at first, and he just asked.

Linghu Chong was silent for a moment, sighed, and replied, "To be honest, I'm going to Xiake Island this time for my junior sister. My junior sister suffered a hard life, and her family suddenly changed a lot, and she was in a desperate situation of dilemma. The specific matters are not enough to be told by outsiders...

In short, she is suddenly missing now and is missing. I searched everywhere and happened to receive a letter from the owner of Xiake Island, saying that he knew where his junior sister was. He also attached his junior sister's hairpin with the letter, so I immediately came to Xiake Island to see him."

Wang Dong suddenly realized.

It seems that the reason why the Lord of Xiake Island invited these legendary figures to the island was to take various measures to defeat them, and specifically start from their weaknesses and invite them to come.

So, Li Xunhuan came here mostly for Lin Shiyin, Ximen Chuxue might be for the ultimate swordsmanship, A Qing might be for Fan Li, and Shi Potian might be for him... Maybe he was fooled.

The day passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

After dinner, the five people came to Wang Dong's room as promised.

Wang Dong lit the candle first and was shocked to find that there were only five candles left on the table:

6,1,4,7,3

Shi Potian is Room 6.

Ah Qing is number 1.

Ximen Chuxue is 4.

Wang Dong is 7.

Linghu Chong is 3.

Five candles illuminate the room, and five people sat around the table, without talking anymore.

After two hours like this, the candles were burning steadily, and no one was going to extinguish.

At this time, Shi Potian suddenly stood up.

The other four people were all moved.

Shi Potian said embarrassedly: "I want to go to a thatched cottage."

Linghu Chong stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

"Don't bother Brother Linghu, I myself..."

Linghu Chong smiled and said, "I'm going to go too, let's go."

As he said that, he carried his long sword and pulled Shi Potian to the cottage together.

The house became quiet again. After about a cup of tea, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the candlelight shook continuously, and then...

The candle numbered 6 is extinguished.

Wang Dong's face changed slightly, he stood up suddenly, and the wind rushed towards the cottage.

Ximen Chuxue followed closely behind.

When I arrived at the cottage, I found Linghu Chong standing outside and swaying the wind.

When Linghu Chong saw the two of them, he asked curiously: "Why are you here?"

"Candle No. 6 is out." Wang Dong said.

Linghu Chong's face also changed. He rushed into the cottage and found Shi Potian lying on the ground, not knowing when he would die.

He still held a piece of straw paper in his hand.

Linghu Chong took out the straw paper from his hand, expanded it and saw a line of words written on it:

"The ignorant is doomed."
