"My lord, I have something I want to tell you. ”

"Come in!"

The person who came in was Village Chief Chen, he was already very old, even more so when he looked closely, his face was full of wrinkles one after another, and the whites of his eyes were cloudy and yellow, which was a little terrifying at first glance.

He sat down in another chair, his gaze swept over the table, the chair, and the things in the room, and finally landed on Fang Xile, twitching his nose a few times.

Fang Xile smiled: "Is there anything wrong with Village Chief Chen coming to me?"

Village Chief Chen got straight to the point: "The village is sealed and you can't get out!"

Fang Xile paused for a moment and nodded clearly, since she had been in the village for so long, she must have tried to get out, but now she is still here, so the village will definitely not be able to get out.

Village Chief Chen looked at Fang Xile meaningfully: "What do adults know?"

"I just came to Cliff Village today, what can I know?"

"But adults aren't nervous!"

Fang Xile smiled slightly: "I have handled many cases and seen many strange things, and if I see a lot, I won't be nervous." ”

Village Chief Chen nodded, and he didn't know whether to believe her words or not: "Little Lao'er, I have already lived past the age of ancient times, although I don't know as much as adults, but I am very good at reading people, Xiao Lao'er thinks," Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and stared at Fang Xile with cloudy eyes: "My lord is a trustworthy person." ”

"Oh?" Fang Xile raised his eyebrows: "Is Village Chief Chen a trustworthy person?"

Village Chief Chen sat up a little straighter and said solemnly: "Little Lao'er is already old, the only thing I care about is the comfort of this village, if the adult has the same purpose as me, then the little Lao'er is a credible person." ”

Fang Xile was silent for a moment: "This village is in a painting, so we can't get out, and every day we wake up we forget the events of the previous day." ”

Fang Xile kept a hand and didn't tell him all.

"So you tell me a secret, if I can't find a way out today, tomorrow I will use this secret to gain your trust directly. ”

After she finished speaking, she felt that this episode was somewhat familiar, but this thought was only a flash, and she stared at Village Chief Chen quietly.

Village Chief Chen reacted very calmly, he thought for a while and said: "The river at the head of the village has no golden sand at all, I put it inside." ”

Fang Xile was a little surprised.

"Gold has a special role in suppressing ghosts. ”

Fang Xile nodded, she knew this, but she would never use such an extravagant method to defend against ghosts, wouldn't it be good to disperse directly?

"There is a secret in the village, a secret that only the village chiefs have known to generations. ”

It turned out that their ancestor of the Chen family was a wandering Taoist priest, and later found a ghost in this small mountain village, and suppressed the ghost after a desperate fight, and lived in the village for fear that the ghost would come out again because of the fear that the seal would be loosened.

Generations have silently guarded the seal, reinforcing the seal again and again.

However, due to the fact that it has been too long, the Chen family has no one who can really know magic, so they use the most stupid method to spread the gold on the seal in the river, which can also play a certain role in sealing.

I see!

No wonder the people of Cliff Village are very unfriendly to those who come to pan for gold.

No wonder Village Chief Chen so calmly accepted such a bizarre story of being imprisoned in the painting.

"Whenever you tell this story, I will believe you unconditionally. ”

Village Chief Chen paused when he said this, looked at Fang Xile's eyes and said, "There is only one condition, the adults find a way to go out, and they must leave with the villagers." ”

"Yes. ”

Village Chief Chen grinned, revealing yellowed and somewhat pointed teeth: "That little old man retired first." ”

......

After Village Chief Chen left, Fang Xile turned around to find the painter Yu Xi, only he knew the whole thing best, and he had to pry his mouth open.

Jiang Youwei and a few people from Fu San Province came back, and they happened to bump into Fang Xile who came back on the road.

"Lord Fang, we are sealed!" Huang Lao Er reported with a depressed face.

"I already know. ”

A few people were not surprised, and the people in the village were discussing the matter, but: "My lord, the people in the village can't be trusted. ”

Saying that, Jiang Youwei told Fang Xile the words of the guard Wu Ming.

Fang Xile glanced at him with a smile: "Jiang Zhutou, don't you know what it means to see through and not say it?"

What do you mean? Jiang Youwei didn't react.

Fang Xile looked around and didn't find anyone and said: "Sometimes ghosts don't know that they are dead, so they maintain people's living habits and thinking, but once someone breaks it, they will wake up and become real ghosts." ”

"You mean ......"

Jiang Youwei and the others looked at each other with horror on their faces.

So these people they see in the painting are no longer alive, and they talk to ghosts all the way.

The three of them had their cold hairs standing up, and they felt cold in their hearts.

They looked at Fang Xile with resentment, since that's the case, don't tell us.

"Are all the people in the village ......?"

Fang Xile shook his head: "No, the yin qi here is too strong to distinguish, but they will always be a little different, such as teeth becoming longer, nails becoming longer, and eyes and actions becoming rigid, in short, you can tell if you see more." ”

Several people shivered in unison, who wants to see this thing.

"Be careful not to say things you shouldn't say. ”

Fang Xile nodded.

Several people nodded violently.

Then, she told them about this morning's discovery and meeting with the village chief and Yu Xi.

"How is it? Did you get any clues from his mouth?" Jiang Youwei asked immediately.

Fang Xile shook her head, and when she thought of this, she was angry: "Yu Xi is very stubborn, he told me a secret, saying that I can tell it tomorrow, so I told me!"

"Leave it to me!" Huang Lao Er jumped up: "I will definitely beat him all over the ground looking for teeth!"

Jiang Youwei glared at him: "Don't make a mess!"

Fang Xile smiled: "It's better to be safe, we haven't figured out Yu Xi's hole cards yet, it's better if he can take the initiative to cooperate with us, anyway, we've been here for so many days, it doesn't hurt to wait another day." ”

"And write down what happened today, everyone must remember it, write it on themselves in blood, so that tomorrow will not disappear inexplicably. ”

Everyone nodded, and went back to their rooms to record everything for the day.

Fang Xile sat cross-legged on the bed, seizing the time to cultivate, no matter what happened, strength was the most reliable guarantee.

......

In a neat thatched house

Yu Xi sat in the studio, holding a pot of wine in his hand, drunk like mud, he looked at the portrait in front of him in a daze, revealing a painful look.

"Pear, is what she said true?"

"Little Pear ......."

The woman in the painting, dressed in a pink dress, stands under the pear blossom tree, smiling brightly.
