Although he found out that something was wrong, Mingchen didn't say anything, and silently followed the little sister in a family of three to prepare to go back to his small room to find out the news.

After seeing the strangeness of the square, Mingchen was almost sure that the stone statue should be the core of this strange village, and it should not be dangerous to slowly learn the information from the periphery of the village first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a dozen steps, a burly white-haired old man appeared from the corner in front of him and stretched out his hand to stop Ming Chen.

"You're from the circle?"

The huge body of the burly white-haired old man stopped Mingchen in the corner of the wall, propped himself on the wall with one hand, cutting off Mingchen's retreat, and from a distance, there seemed to be a hint of domineering president.

Mingchen put his hands on his sleeves, his face was indifferent, he was not half timid because of the old man's size, and the old man was not malicious, otherwise the moment Mingchen stepped out of the village square, the old man should have noticed Mingchen's abnormality, and there was no trouble at that time, so why wait until there was no one nearby to ask.

"Not bad."

The burly white-haired old man had such an expression on his face, his hand propped up on the wall held Mingchen's arm, and whispered: "Don't struggle, come with the old man!" ”

Although the old man was very stumbling, and there was a very uncomfortable aura on his body, Mingchen still forcibly resisted the urge to cut off his children and grandchildren with a punch, and let the old man pull him away. (Don't ask why it's not a broken leg of a grandchild, and a fist, the protagonist belongs to that kind of normal person height, just one meter seven now, and half a head shorter next to Yaya.) ）

The old man dragged Mingchen into a mansion, it seemed that it should be the old man's residence, and the corners were much brighter than the place where Mingchen lived.

Mingchen watched the old man close the door lightly, close the window again, and specially draw the curtains, and then came over with a face full of wrinkles in the dark room.

"Old man, if you have something to say, you still do this kind of action that is easy to misunderstand, and it is easy for people to be killed, do you know?"

The burly white-haired old man actually had an expression at this time, and his face was puzzled.

I already knew that since Mingchen came to this strange village, the people here were expressionless and puppet-like, and even the old man who brought him into the village was the same, expressionless.

At this time, the old man actually showed a puzzled expression, which is very interesting.

"What has the old man done that makes people misunderstand? Although you are well disguised as an insider, even the old man did not find it, but when you came out of the square, the power of faith was not taken away from you, and you have been discovered by God. ”

"You're in danger right now! Do you know? Listen to the old man, the old man will take you back to the circle alive, don't come outside the circle again, this is not a place for you to stay. ”

Seeing that the white-haired old man looked anxious, it seemed that he was really thinking about himself, but Mingchen didn't say anything, and said lightly: "Oh? So how do you make me believe you? ”

The burly white-haired old man seemed to fall into memory when he heard this.

"This has to be said a long time ago, but we don't have much time now, I'll make a long story short, since the war a thousand years ago, except for the circle, the rest of the human world has been occupied by Heavenly Court or Lingshan, and our small village is under the jurisdiction of Lord Lou Jingou, the twenty-eight stars of the Heavenly Court, since a thousand years ago, we humans and monsters have been used as tools to provide faith, without thought, from generation to generation."

"I was the same before, but about a hundred years ago, the statue of Lord Lou Jingou suddenly fell silent, and I never received faith again, and the faith in our small village was accumulated in that statue, and no one took it, and I accidentally touched the statue by chance, so I benefited, regained my consciousness, and understood that it was Heaven that enslaved us."

"There were humans who broke into the circle like you before, I remember that it was a group of people, all wearing masks, but they were unlucky, and they didn't listen to persuasion, because Lord Lou Jingou didn't know why he hadn't received the faith, and Lord Xinyue Fox, who is also the twenty-eight constellations, would regularly come to collect the faith on the statue."

"That time, they were also like you, under the cover of some kind of magic weapon that concealed the breath of the square, but they were found because they did not provide faith, I advised them to leave quickly, but they didn't listen at all, and in the end they were almost all killed by Lord Xinyue Fox who rushed over, and I risked my life to save the two descendants, but unfortunately they were also crippled."

"The old man told you everything, now you should always believe the old man, go with the old man, the old man will send you to Shanhaimen, don't come out after you go back."

After the burly white-haired old man finished speaking, it seemed that it was because he couldn't save the rest of the mask group back then, an old face was full of remorse, and there were some tears in the corners of his eyes, not seeing it with his own eyes, who would dare to believe that this old man who was eight feet tall, with a waist circumference of eight feet, and a wrinkled face, would be so sentimental.

Mingchen stretched out his hand and touched his nose, looking at such a sad old man, he had to imagine how to persuade this hot old man.

"Alas, uncle, in fact, you have done your best, those people are also to blame for not listening to dissuasion, they can't hurt you, besides, didn't you risk your life and saved two people, don't be too sad."

The burly white-haired old man put away his sad expression when he heard this, and looked at Mingchen solemnly and seriously.

"Young man, you are better than those people back then, you can listen to the persuasion, now hurry up and follow me, you didn't offer your faith when you stepped out of the square, Xinyue Fox will definitely arrive soon, we have to leave quickly, before she arrives, I must send you to Shanhaimen."

Mingchen stopped talking, and silently followed the old man in the village into a fog.

The fog was very large, and he could only see less than a meter in front of him, barely able to keep up with the burly white-haired old man, not to mention, this old man was not slow at all.

Mingchen: "Old man, why is there such a big fog on this road!" ”

The burly white-haired old man: "This routine is like this all year round, don't be nervous, remember to follow closely, don't get lost." ”

The two walked all the way, the fog became thicker and thicker, and slowly it seemed that they couldn't even see the surface of their feet, but the figure of the burly white-haired old man in front of Mingchen was still so clear, in this white fog, only this old man could be seen clearly.

"Young man, the fog is getting bigger and bigger, don't be afraid, I won't get lost if it's very tight, I will definitely send you home."

"Young man, tired or not, don't look at the old man, I'm old, I steal a part of my faith from the idol every once in a while, my body is much better than the average person, if you're tired, the old man can carry you."

Mingchen was moved to tears behind him, and the Tang knife that was originally hanging on his waist didn't know when it came out of its sheath.
