Chapter 709: That old man turned out to be the village chief

After listening to my words, Situ Qing couldn't help but look at me and asked, "If what Han Sheng said is true, then all this is an illusion array?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded.

"Then who set up this illusion array?" Situ Qing muttered to himself.

I didn't say anything, and I don't know the answer to this question, maybe when Situ Hong and Yuqiong find Han Sheng and come back, everything will be known.

In this way, with Situ Qing's support, I soon walked back to the village, and as soon as I walked into the farmhouse, the princess greeted her, looking at the tired look on my face, I couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Master Bi, why didn't you and the Han guards come back overnight?" You're all right, are you? ”

"Thank you princess for your concern, it's okay." I forced a few smiles as I looked at her and replied.

"What about the Han guards? Didn't he come back with you? The princess walked past me and looked behind me and Situ Qing, and asked again.

"Uh......, there was a little accident, and Guard Han will be back soon." I said casually.

The princess looked at me and didn't ask any more questions.

The woman and the strong man also came out of the house when they heard the sound, and when they saw me like this, the woman brought a basin of hot water, wiped my face without saying a word, and then brought a hot meal, the strong man was not idle, and brought a wooden table and a bamboo chair and Situ Qing and two people put me down, I looked at the two of them to my behavior and was suddenly moved, alas~, they were so kind that I was suspicious of them at first, it really shouldn't be!

Situ Qing took the bowl full of porridge. Feed me bite by bite, this porridge is in my stomach, don't you say it, I immediately felt a lot more energetic.

In the blink of an eye, the food in front of me was swept away, and the aches and pains on my body disappeared, and I tried to stand up, barely able to stand up.

Just after my tossing and turning, someone walked into the courtyard, and before I could look up, I saw the woman and the man hurrying up, and the woman whispered "Village Chief...... The village chief ...... something, I turned my head to look at it. Hey. It was the old man who led us into the mountains yesterday.

"Hehehehe...... Childe, you're back?!" The old man nodded to the woman and the strong man, then walked up to me, looked at me and asked.

"Uncle. How are you? It turns out that you are the village chief of this pear flower village! I looked at the old man who had come closer. Asked respectfully.

"Hehehehehe......!" The old man listened to me. nodded noncommittally, and then sat down, "What adventures did Childe have when he entered the mountains yesterday?" Why don't you see the boy who is with you? ”

I listened to him ask. Suddenly sighed lightly, "Uncle, what do you say, originally we thought that entering and exiting the mountain was just a simple matter, but we didn't expect to meet a ghost in the ...... the mountain." Without waiting for the old man to ask again, I simply told the things I had encountered, and I tried my best to tell the story in a calm tone, the old man frowned slightly and didn't say anything when he heard my words, and the woman and the strong man only had a frightened look, but the princess on the side couldn't help but exclaim.

I couldn't help but get nervous when she called her, turned to look at the princess and asked, "Uh...... Miss, what are you calling it? ”

When the princess saw me looking at her, her face flushed slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "Then has Bi Gongzi been eaten by those tigers and wolves after the most ugly?" ”

Looking at her innocent smile I immediately went crazy, she really thought I was telling a story? Eaten by a tiger wolf? If I had been eaten by the tiger wolf, I would still be able to sit here and tell them stories?!

The old man thought for a moment before he raised his head and looked at me and asked, "Childe, if it is true as you said, then the other son should still be in the mountains at this time." ”

"Exactly." I nodded busily.

"That's not going to be easy." When the old man saw me nodding, he immediately frowned and said leisurely.

"Uncle, what's wrong with it?" Seeing this, I hurriedly asked.

The old man raised his eyes to look at me, and said slowly: "You only know one of the sounds of ghosts crying and wolf howling in the night in this mountain, but you don't know the other......! ”

"One of them? What is the second one? I looked at him anxiously and asked.

The old man sighed softly before continuing: "The sound of the ghost crying wolf does sound every night, and everyone who listens to it will be mentally withered, but this is only one of them, do you remember the disappearance of the young man who entered the mountain with you yesterday?" ”

"Yes." I nodded.

"None of the young and middle-aged people who entered the mountains could come back, and the reason was because their three souls and seven spirits were swallowed up by the sound of this tiger and wolf." The old man continued: "It is precisely because the sound of the tiger and wolf has devoured their souls that it will make this ghost cry wolf howl even more heart-wrenching and confuse people's minds!" ”

I looked at the old man, and a terrible picture was immediately sketched in my head.

Before I could speak, Situ Qing beside me shouted: "But uncle, when I went to the foot of the mountain with my sister Situ Hong and Yuqiong early this morning, I only found my brother-in-law, and my sister and Yuqiong went into the mountain to find Han Sheng....... ”

"No, I'm going to find them!" Without waiting for Situ Qing to finish speaking, I stood up and was about to walk out.

"Childe, this matter is urgent!" When the old man saw that I was leaving, he hurriedly spoke.

I stopped and turned to look at him, "Uncle, do you have any other way?" ”

"There is a way, but I don't know if it works!" The old man hesitated.

Situ Qing on the side shouted when he heard this: "When is this happening, it doesn't matter if it works for him, let's try it first!" ”

"Well, since that's the case, then ask the son to come with the old man ......!" The old man said leisurely, and after speaking, he stood up and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Situ Qing and I followed the old man out of the farmhouse, and the princess was going to go with her, but I was worried that she would encounter any danger, so I asked her to stay with the woman and wait for us, although the princess was a little unhappy, but she still nodded obediently and agreed.

After eating enough food and having strength, Situ Qing and I followed behind the old man and walked towards the center of the village in the morning sun sprinkled overhead.

When I entered the village before, I looked at this village from a distance and it didn't seem to be very big, but when I really went deep into it, I found that this village is not very small, the old man led us all the way forward, and after a while, we came to the door of a sect, the old man stopped and turned to look at me and Situ Qing and said: "This sect is left by the ancestors of the village, and it has been standing here for more than 500 years. There was once a Taoist priest who passed by here and said that this dust would change the fate of this village in the future, and I think this is the time. As he spoke, the old man raised his hand and pushed open the door of the sect hall, leading us in.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the hall suddenly shone brightly, facing the sun and looking at the dust that was flying in the air, he also knew that no one had come in for a long time, the old man's footsteps did not stop, and led us straight to the first place, until then I saw clearly, on the wooden case under a portrait of a person, there was an arm-length whisk of dust, the whisk looked antique, the straight handle was flooded with bursts of dark blue, and the whisker of the whisker was a piece of white, like the white beard of a Taoist priest.

The old man did not hesitate, and motioned for me to take off the whisk, I looked at him, and respectfully reached out to remove the whisk.

Originally, I thought that this whisk was just the kind held in the hands of ordinary Taoist priests, and the straight handle made of thin bamboo poles was brushed with a layer of varnish, but when I really took off this whisk, I felt the weight of it, and I almost didn't hold it.

I took off the dust whisk and looked at it carefully, and Situ Qing on the side also came forward to look at it for a while, but for us, we have seen this thing before, but if we really touch it, this is the first time!

The old man saw that we were looking at the dust, and continued to say in a kind voice: "This dust has been here for hundreds of years, and no one has touched it for hundreds of years, and you are the first. ”

I looked at the dust whisk in my hand again, and raised my head to look at the old man, "Uncle, do you mean to say that let's use this whisk to save Han Sheng and them?" ”

"Not only that, but maybe you can also dispel the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling from this night!" The old man nodded slowly.
