Chapter 405: The Man Behind the Scenes...
I was startled by the old man's sharp eyes, but then I noticed that his gaze was not at me, but at the paulownia tree behind me.
When I looked back at the big paulownia tree again, I was taken aback.
The tree is still the same, but the corpse hanging on the tree has changed.
In a short period of time, dozens of corpses have all become dried corpses!
The skin was dark and wrinkled, completely dehydrated, and only a skeleton wrapped in leather remained, which swayed lightly from side to side when the wind blew, and a slight sound could be heard when the corpses hit each other.
If the paulownia tree is compared to a door, then the corpses on the tree are like wind chimes in front of the door.
Seeing this, I just felt a tingling in my scalp.
Hanging on a tree turns into a dry corpse in a short period of time, which is obviously abnormal, if it is not the problem of the paulownia tree, I don't believe it.
Seeing the shriveled shape of the dried corpse, the old man took out his compass and looked at it carefully for a while, and frowned for a while before he said, "There is something strange under this paulownia tree, and it is very likely that something is buried." ”
I thought about it and felt strange, and I was about to speak, when a group of people suddenly appeared at the head of the bridge, and when I heard the noise to look, I couldn't help but be stunned.
Because I found out that the people who walked into the ghost village turned out to be the people from our village, didn't they stay in the village all the time?.
How did it end up here? The most important thing is that there are many dangers in the mountains, and there is a dense fog to seal the village, and there is no rune paper to protect it, how did they get here?
I took a general look, this group of people is old and young, and many people in the village have come here.
The village party secretary was quite surprised to see me, I was stunned, and hurriedly went up to ask the village party secretary what was going on and why he came here.
The village party secretary looked behind him, stared at the old man a few more times, and then asked, "Master, weren't you behind us just now?" Why did you come in front of us all at once? ”
The old man said unhappily, "What do you mean?" I've been here all along, what's in front and behind? By the way, is this place dangerous, how did you get here? ”
The village party secretary looked dazed: "Master, don't be joking, you said that the village is dangerous, let us come here to avoid it, and you will lead us the way throughout the whole process, otherwise how dare we go out of the village?" ”
The old man was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, and his face was a little strange.
Listening to what the village party secretary said, I quickly reacted.
The old man has been in this ghost village just now, and it is impossible for him to show them the way, that is to say, there is someone else who led the way, and it is very likely that it is an impostor who brought me to this place.
First of all, we were plotted about this layout.
Since the old man took us into the mountains to find the door a few days ago, we have been fiddled with one after another, and the encounter on the road, Qiao's second mother-in-law deliberately appeared in order to lure the old man away.
And he has set a trap halfway to wait for the old man.
At that time, Xu Tie completely became a puppet who was used, the purpose was to take me to the Yin Temple to break the seal, and all the people who caused us to enter were killed.
Then it's completely reactive.
I escaped with nine deaths, and going to the paperweight was the beginning of falling into the second trap, and the old man we brought out was a fake.
Zhong Bai's eyes should be able to distinguish.
But the reason why he didn't see it should be that the time we spent together was too short, and if it was longer, Zhong Bai's heart would definitely be able to find the clues.
That's why when we came out of the paperweight, the old man told us to split up immediately, and he was going to take me to this place.
