Several people were taken blindfolded to a secluded mountain village, which was said to be secluded, but it was the same as on the mountain, and there was not even half a bird.

Several people were taken to a large room, where only footsteps could be heard, and no one spoke, and then "Whew!" There was a sound on the ground, like the sound of a wall moving.

"Secret Room?!" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but imagine in her mind.

"Why is this old man pretending to be a ghost?!" Amber muttered inwardly.

"It's over, it's over, maybe it's for God to kill us unconsciously!" Chenyu's legs trembled and she lamented in her heart.

"The smell of poisonous insects, and the smell of herbs!" Liu Changan sniffed and thought secretly.

"From being blindfolded to here, it was a total of three thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight steps, during which I turned three corners and crossed a wooden bridge, and now this should be the left side of the two-story house." The childish man secretly remembered the journey in his mind.

Then several people were pushed into the secret room, and the men who escorted them in disappeared.

Seeing that there was no sound around, Chenyu couldn't hold back and said, "County Lord! Amber! Childish! Dr. Liu! Are you all there?"

"Shut up!"

Several people replied in unison.

"This is a secret room, it should be underground, everyone be careful for a while!" Xiao Mingyue instructed.

"I smell the smell of poisonous insects, and the smell of herbs, I guess this is the place where the old black witch did bad things!" Liu Changan said.

"This should be the left side of the inner house on the second floor, and it is heavily guarded! If you want to escape, maybe you have to find a way to get out of the ground!" Childish said.

"How do you know you're heavily guarded?!" Chenyu asked.

"When we came in, I smelled the smell of cooking on a fire, and it seemed that there were only one or two people listening to the sound, and then there was the sound of washing the big iron pot, and there was so much to cook, and there was no sound to be made, and who else could move freely at the border of the mountains here?!" Naïve analyzed.

"The people of the party king!" Xiao Mingyue said.

"Huh? I didn't expect that this party king would collude with the black witch to deal with Chen Guo! How unreasonable! County Lord, we're really here right, we must find out what he does!" Chenyu said indignantly.

"Don't talk, someone's coming!" Liu Changan said busily.

"Hula!" The door to the chamber above opened again, and then a "rustle" of footsteps approached.

"Who?!" Chen Yu hurriedly asked loudly.

"Young people, you are welcome!"

The old man's voice entered the ears of several people again.

"It's you! Why did you get us here, pretending to be a ghost!" Chenyu said with a grumbling.

"Boy! You're so unruly! You should call me old uncle!" The old man patted the back of Chenyu's head and said in disgust.

Then a few people only heard "Bang!" With a bang, Chenyu fell to the ground.

"Chenyu?!" Amber hurriedly shouted.

"Uncle, what did you do to my brother?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.

"His boy is not respectful to me, just to teach him a small lesson, so that he can be more peaceful in the future! Don't worry, it's just a matter of sleeping for a few hours," said the old man.

"Tong'er, untie them!"

The old man instructed the boy beside him.

"Yes, Master!" The boy agreed.

Then one by one, he untied the ropes on the hands of several people and the black cloth on their eyes, including Chenyu who fell to the ground.

Several people opened their eyes and looked around, only to see that this was a cave in all directions, and there were four stone doors where they were, exactly the same, and it was impossible to tell which door they entered, and there were rats and snakes and scorpions crawling everywhere.

"Don't worry, they are more obedient than people, and they won't hurt you without my orders!"

The old man said as he walked forward.

Amber lay behind Xiao Mingyue and whispered tremblingly, "Miss, this old man is really terrifying!" "

"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us! There's always a way!" Xiao Mingyue also grabbed Amber's hand and comforted in a low voice.

Several people followed behind the old man, and the sleeping Chenyu was carried behind by Liu Changan.

After walking about a hundred steps behind the old man, he saw a small river, with many herbs growing on both sides of the river, and a raised stone in the middle of the river, on which was placed a box.

"What is placed in this is the spirit stone, which is the stone left over from Nuwa Niangniang's mending the sky, which is condensed by the essence of heaven and earth, and if you have it, you can have everything! You are my tools for great success!" The old man turned back to a few people and said.

"What do you need a few of us to do?!" Xiao Mingyue asked.

The old man laughed a few times, and then continued to say to a few people: "Don't you young people want to learn black magic? Follow me, do as I say, and when I succeed in cultivating with spirit stones, this world will be mine! The Black Witch Clan will no longer have to hold their heads up, I will let you have countless gold and silver treasures, glory and wealth!"

"You want us to hurt people?" Liu Changan asked.

"It's not about harming people, it's about helping sentient beings get free! Well, you don't have to worry about the rest, boy, tattoo them!" The old man instructed the little boy beside him.

"No, we already have it!" The young man said to the old man with his arms exposed.

The old man looked at it, snorted coldly, and said, "The little cubs are not very capable, but they are quite fast!" It's good that saves effort!"

"I wonder if the old man will give us some more advanced black magic?!" Xiao Mingyue asked tentatively.

The old man looked at Xiao Mingyue, nodded with a smile, and said, "This is natural, from now on, you are all my people!" If you are obedient, you will be rich, and if you are disobedient, you will be thrown into this river to feed the poisonous snakes!"

After speaking, there were four or five snakes of various colors, each as thick as a bowl, coming out of the water, as if they understood the old man's words.

"Ahh Amber was frightened and took two steps back.

"It's strange that he can control these poisonous snakes!" Liu Changan thought in his heart.

"It seems that the waterway is impassable." The childish man pondered in his heart.

"Now the plan, only by following his will, can we know his next trick!" Xiao Mingyue thought in her heart.

"Our brothers and sisters, we are willing to listen to the old man!" Xiao Mingyue said.

He then motioned for the others to bow down in obedience.

"Good!" The old man said as he carefully looked at a few people.

"Now, it doesn't matter if you really want to be a dark witch, or if you want to be a fake witch. I can't escape the palm of my hand! In three days, it will be the king's birthday, it is a good opportunity to flatter, you girl, you look very standard, I will teach you some black witch charm, find out the news for me by the king's side, if you are selfish, don't blame me for not pity you, you little face with a flower and moon appearance, I'm afraid I can't keep it!"

The old man looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, while taking out a white pill and handing it to Xiao Mingyue, suggesting that she eat it.

"Don't eat it!" Amber, Zhiru, and Liu Changan hurriedly stopped.

"Yo he! Looks like I've chosen the right person! Since you're all so nervous about her, she's going to have to eat it!" The old man said while brushing the white hair on both sides, staring at Xiao Mingyue tightly.

Xiao Mingyue put it under her nose and sniffed, and said with a light smile: "Okay, I'll eat!"

After saying that, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

"Miss! Spit it out!" Amber anxiously patted Xiao Mingyue on the back.

"Don't worry! I'm fine!" Xiao Mingyue said in Amber's ear.

Then he looked at the old man and asked, "Are you relieved now?!"

The old man smiled and nodded, and said, "Good girl!"

Then he pulled out a small green porcelain vase from his sleeve.

"Three days later, I will take you to the king's birthday banquet, you sprinkle this on your dress, and then it will naturally attract colorful butterflies, so that the king's heart will be moved and you will be kept by your side!" The old man said.

Xiao Mingyue took the small bottle and promised, "Okay! Then these brothers and sisters of mine, you should also promise me to protect them!"

The old man smiled: "This is nature. I'll leave these two offspring to do it for me! The other two, bring them to you!"

"Hey! Why are we two staying here? Chenyu certainly woke up and asked.

"Huh?!" The old man glared at him.

"Well, it's good to stay. I suddenly found that the scenery in this cave is very good! Isn't it, Brother Liu?!" Chenyu asked with a hippie smile.

"I can do it all." Liu Changan said.

So it was decided that Xiao Mingyue would take Amber and Zhiru into the palace to celebrate his birthday, and Chenyu and Liu Changan would continue to follow the old man.

When parting, Xiao Mingyue instructed Chenyu and Liu Changan to say, "Don't worry! He gave me medicine that should be damaging to my heart, because he was afraid that I had a ghost in my heart! But you two stay here, be careful!"

"County Lord, you have to be careful!" Liu Chang'an.

"That party king Li Yuanxu, he will kill the murderous star this year, and the farther away the county lord is from him, the better!" Chenyu admonished.

Then the five of them split into two groups and went their separate ways.
