After some research, Qi Tongwei found that these rules seemed to restrict the villagers' actions and gradually narrowed their range of activities. Moreover, the dangers mentioned in the rules seemed to appear more frequently at night.

Therefore, Qi Tongwei led the villagers to strengthen patrols at night. One night, when he was patrolling an abandoned house at the edge of the village, he suddenly heard a strange laugh coming from inside. He approached cautiously and saw a dark shadow swaying inside through the crack in the window. The dark shadow seemed to have noticed someone outside, and suddenly turned around, revealing a pair of eyes emitting dim light. Qi Tongwei was startled. He remembered that the rules said to leave immediately when encountering such a situation, so he held his breath and slowly backed away until he was a safe distance away before turning around and running back to the village.

After returning to the village, Qi Tongwei told everyone what he had seen. The villagers became even more panicked, but Qi Tongwei did not back down. He remembered that an old man in the village once said that the village had sealed an evil monster a long time ago. Could these rules be related to the monster?

Qi Tongwei decided to go to the village library to look for relevant information. In an ancient book, he finally found a clue. It turned out that many years ago, in order to protect the village, the ancestors of the village sealed a monster that was good at creating illusions and manipulating people's hearts. But every once in a while, the seal of the monster would loosen, and it would disturb the villagers' minds through strange rules and talk, trying to break the seal.

After knowing the truth, Qi Tongwei and the villagers began to make a plan to fight against the monster. According to the tips in the rules, they prepared red cloth, incense and candles and other items. At the same time, Qi Tongwei also organized the villagers to strengthen unity, remind each other to abide by the rules, and not be confused by the monster's illusion.

Another night came, and the monster attacked again. There were strange noises coming from the village, and some villagers almost couldn't help but break the rules. But with the reminders of Qi Tongwei and other villagers, everyone held on.

Qi Tongwei led several brave villagers to the place where the monster was sealed according to the method in the classics. They were careful along the way and avoided various dangers. When they arrived at the sealed place, they saw the monster trying to break the seal, and black mist was everywhere.

Qi Tongwei and others immediately lit incense and candles and offered sacrifices to the seal according to the rules. At the same time, they covered their ears with red cloth to prevent being confused by the monster's voice. With the efforts of everyone, the seal gradually stabilized and the monster's power slowly weakened.

After a night of hard work, the monster was finally sealed again. The sun shone on Xiangyang Village, and everything returned to its former peace.

The villagers around him were also exhausted and out of breath. They looked at each other, their eyes full of relief and joy for surviving the disaster.

The sun was like a golden veil, gently sprinkled on this land that had experienced hardships, dispelling the haze of last night. The black fog gradually dissipated, leaving only a little damp breath, as if telling the thrilling battle that had just passed. Qi Tongwei looked at the sealed land in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. This victory was hard-won. It was the unity and persistence of the whole village that brought the current peace.

Back in the village, the whole Xiangyang Village was immersed in jubilation. The villagers rushed to tell each other, their faces filled with joy of rebirth. Children were laughing and playing on the streets, and the adults gathered together to talk about what happened last night. The eyes of the elderly were full of relief, they felt that the village had finally returned to its former peace, and the young people were full of hope for the future. This battle made them understand the power of unity.

However, Qi Tongwei was not overwhelmed by the joy in front of him. He knew that although he had successfully sealed the monster this time, there was still a long way to go in the future, and no one knew what challenges would be waiting for them. Therefore, he decided to organize the villagers to conduct a comprehensive summary and reflection on this incident in order to better deal with possible crises in the future.

In the village meeting hall, the villagers sat together in a solemn and serious atmosphere. Qi Tongwei stood up, looked at everyone, and said slowly: "Although we succeeded this time, we must not forget the losses and lessons this crisis has brought us. We must learn from this incident, strengthen our defense and response capabilities, and ensure that our village will not be threatened in a similar way again."

The villagers nodded in agreement. An old man named Uncle Li said, "Qi Tongwei, you are right. We can no longer be careless like before. This time, thanks to your leadership, we were able to save our village. However, we cannot always rely on ancient books and unknown rules. We must learn to find solutions to problems on our own."

Qi Tongwei was moved after hearing this. He felt that Uncle Li's words made sense. So he proposed an idea: "Uncle Li is right. We can't always rely on past experience. I think we can set up a research team to study these mysterious rules and the habits of monsters. In this way, we can better understand our enemies and take precautions in advance."

This proposal was unanimously supported by everyone. Soon, a research team was established, with Qi Tongwei as the team leader. The team members included several knowledgeable elders in the village, young intellectuals, and some villagers who were interested in mysterious things. They began to collect and organize various rules that appeared in the village, and conducted detailed analysis and research on each rule, trying to find the rules and cracking methods.

During the research, they found that these rules were not illogical, but were closely related to the abilities and habits of monsters. For example, the rule that people cannot go out at night is because monsters are more powerful at night and are more likely to create illusions and confuse people; and the rule that people should close their eyes and squat when they see a scarecrow moving is because monsters can control scarecrows and use them to lure villagers into breaking the rules.

Through in-depth research on these rules, the research team gradually grasped some of the monsters' weaknesses and patterns. Based on these findings, they developed a series of defense measures and response strategies. For example, they set up some warning signs around the village to remind villagers of danger; they strengthened patrols at night to ensure that villagers would not break the rules; at the same time, they also prepared some special items, such as red cloth, incense and candles, in case of emergency.

In addition to studying the rules and response strategies, Qi Tongwei also realized that the development and growth of the village is the real basis of defense. Only by making the village stronger can it be invincible in the face of various crises.
