That's probably what happened back then, and finally the mysterious man found the current mayor, who doesn't know what agreement was reached between them, and this choice also made people fall into crazy conjectures, you know, this person has never had any understanding of the sacrifice, and from his various behaviors, this person should have a considerable opinion on the sacrifice, and somehow promised the mystery man to ensure that the annual sacrifice is carried out successfully? But it was only speculation in their hearts, knowing that all the mysterious decisions were not for people to control, because they still counted on this man to help their village.

Later, the construction team came to the village, all the grass huts were demolished, due to the abundance of funds and the increase in manpower, the town was built very quickly, and it did not take long to complete, at that time the mysterious man personally named the town, he meant that the reason why the town attracts tourists is also because it is close to nature and exudes a strong peaceful atmosphere, so it was nominated as Xiangning Town. The mystery has not been seen since, no one knows where he has been, or what he has been doing, but the horrors of that night have always been remembered, and no one has said a word to the sacrifice, and although it is a bit frustrating, it is well worth it to save more people by sacrificing two children from outsiders.

When Du Jie heard this, the doubts in his heart became even stronger, and it could be heard from this that the mayor who was assigned to take office should be the mayor he saw tonight, but it was obvious that he and the owner of the hotel had signed a very secret agreement with the mysterious person, and no one dared to break the contract, and the frightened look was clearly extremely afraid of something.

"Who are you? Why are you being locked up here? And just looking at the mayor of the town, you and he have obviously known each other for a long time, what do you have to do with these things"?

Du Jie continued to ask, and the old man was silent for a while, his eyes began to become more cloudy, but Du Jie could clearly feel that at this time, the old man exuded an emotion of extreme sadness and self-blame from the inside out.

"Actually, I was the village chief appointed by the mysterious man before the village was built, and my duty was to urge the villagers to perform sacrifices on time."

This made Du Jie very shocked, he didn't expect that the identity of this old man turned out to be the person who controlled the sacrifice before the completion of Xiangning Town, but how did he get locked up here, and why did the mysterious man finally choose the current mayor instead of the one he trusted at the beginning?

"You must be very puzzled, why didn't I continue to supervise the work, but was imprisoned here for so long by the mayor of the town, in fact, that mysterious man was my master, he knew very well about yin and yang, and he did have a great ability, I only know that he is a Taoist priest with a long history, and it was when he was on a tour that he rescued me, and accepted me as an apprentice, teaching skills, I have today's ability, at that time, he suddenly let me stay here, And the task is to ensure the completion of the sacrifice no matter what, he told me at the time that it is to sacrifice to the gods and ensure the safety of the villagers, and I have always believed in the master's words, so I resolutely took on the role of village chief."

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were even more sad, obviously what happened after this made him see the truth clearly, and realized that this was not as simple as sacrificing to the gods.

"Originally, I was only interested in this at first just to help the villagers, although those innocent children died helplessly in front of me, but I thought that sacrificing the few could save the majority, so I didn't resist, until later Master came back and said that he wanted to fund the construction of the village, I was still very happy, because in this way, the poor villagers living here could get a good livelihood, but that night I clearly saw what Master did, he took advantage of the villagers' fears to ensure that even if the village was not there, the sacrifice must be carried out. Afterwards, I asked Master about the purpose of doing this, because at that time I knew that he deliberately used Taoism to control the evil ghosts in the deep pit to come out and frighten the villagers, but the Master didn't say anything to me, and it was at that moment that I had doubts about it, and I secretly investigated the matter of the sacrifice, and finally I learned that the deep pit was the culprit, and this sacrifice was not a prayer for the blessing of the gods at all, but the use of the physique of the twin sisters to nourish the evil ghosts in the pit."

The old man was obviously very resentful of this, and he directly clenched his fist and smashed it on the ground, but this pain was not enough to erase the guilt in his heart.

"After I knew the truth, I ran to ask Master why he did this, but he remained silent, but I never expected that Master would not care about the feelings of master and apprentice, and when the construction of the town was completed, he would have someone knock me unconscious, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already in this prison that has not seen the light of day all year round."

This matter is really very mysterious, if Du Jie was not listening as a ghost at this time, I am afraid he would not believe that there is such a thing in the world. But the old man wasn't lying, Du Jie was very sure of that, but what happened after that? After all, Du Jie had heard the conversation between the mayor and the old man just now, and the mayor mentioned it at that time, all of which the old man had already expected.

"Then I just heard you talk to the mayor and talk about all this that you expected a long time ago. Did the mayor already know about it when you were being held? Wasn't he very dissatisfied with the sacrifice, and how could he turn to aiding and abetting?"

"Hey, speaking of this, in fact, the mayor is also a poor man, everything is in calculation, but although he knows the consequences, he has no way to resist, all he can do is to go down step by step according to the plan, when I woke up and found that I was locked up here, I already knew that everything was the master who was afraid that I would come forward to destroy his evil plan, so it will be like this, then the construction of the town is completed, there must be an appointed mayor to take office, and within a few days he came here to meet with me, I talked about this sacrifice and harming people, but his approach was so extreme that I was afraid that it would get out of control, so I persuaded him to give up, but he didn't listen to me at all, until I ....... later."
