Looking at Chen Fangyuan's eagerness, I felt a little proud, I have always thought that Chen Fangyuan is mysterious, and I always feel that Chen Fangyuan and the forces behind him have my immeasurable power, so I will always be a little afraid of them in my heart.

But now it's different, Chen Fangyuan just saw his dead body fall, and he didn't know anything about what happened to me just now.

People are like this, no matter how strong you are, as long as you ask for the other party, you will naturally be inferior to the other party, and your attitude towards the other party will also take a 180-degree turn.

I squinted at Chen Fangyuan and said coldly, "You have played so many tricks, have you played enough now?" Not going to keep playing? ”

Chen Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "He boy, you don't have to ask knowingly, you know that I went to great lengths to arrange these just to try your kung fu, otherwise, why did you set fire to it before?" You know I'm not going to hurt you, so don't worry about that! ”

"Hehe, old man Chen, then you tried such a play, what do you think of my kung fu?"

Chen Fangyuan touched his chin, as if he was really thinking about what had just happened.

"In general, beyond my expectations, although you are not very proficient in the use of Chenzhou Fu, you are very smart, and you are very good at kung fu with your hands and feet, you can turn danger into safety, your observation ability is top-notch, you can have a sharp insight into the surrounding situation, and you can also analyze it and find a way to deal with it as quickly as possible. However, your temperament is too anxious, you like to trade in, all your actions today are based on knowing that I will not harm your life, so you will be so calm, just imagine, if it is not me who arranges all this today, but a person who wants your life very much, then what will be the result now? ”

Chen Fangyuan explained one by one very calmly, the tone and expression of his speech were completely different from the two times I saw him before, this time, he was more like an experienced old general, he took all my actions into view, and then said them carefully as if he was pointing out a subordinate.

However, none of this can hide his behavior of hacking us and then taking the opportunity to snatch the tortoise shell.

"Have you ever thought about it," I put my arm around Qiu Yan's shoulders and asked her to lean on me as much as possible, still coldly saying to Chen Fangyuan, "If I knew that you would harm me, I wouldn't be so aggressive!" Do you know what it's called? Call knowing yourself and knowing your opponent! ”

"Hahahaha, what a confidant and knowing the other, yes, the old grandmother of the Jiang family has such a good offspring, it's really good." Chen Fangyuan clapped his hands and smiled, and his face showed the flattering face he had seen when he was in Xiangxi.

"Okay, that's all the nonsense, now that Qiu Yan is injured, and we're still hungry, what do you have to say to settle down first."

After hearing this, Chen Fangyuan exchanged glances with a few people behind him, and then nodded, "Okay, you come with me." ”

After speaking, Chen Fangyuan turned around and walked behind him.

After Chen Fangyuan and a few people dispersed, I saw more than a dozen people lying on the ground behind them, and from the clothes of these people, it could be seen that they were the dead bodies that surrounded me before.

To be honest, I had been in the dark all the time, and I had no idea what was going on around me or how the dead bodies were "recovered" by me, so I was horrified when I saw these people lying on the ground.

Qiu Yan may have sensed that my expression was wrong, and she asked softly in my ear, "Zimu, what's wrong?" ”

I didn't answer, but helped Qiu Yan and followed Chen Fangyuan towards the front slowly.

"Zimu, what happened just now, tell me!" Qiu Yan's eyes were full of worry and doubt.

"Remember what happened to me at the bottom of Poyang Lake? I met it again just now! I looked straight ahead and replied softly.

Qiu Yan was stunned, looked at me and asked, "Poyang Lake?" Are you saying you're in the dead man's world again? ”

I nodded, "That's right, and this time it's weird, this dead man's world seems to be trying to teach me something." ”

"Teach you what?"

"I don't know, Qiu Yan, I'm in a mess right now, let's deal with the old boy in front of me first."

"Well, okay, Zimu, you must be careful, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, okay?"

"Okay, I'll take care of it." I replied.

I know that the reason why Qiu Yan asked me this is because she knows that I have been sick since I entered the world of the dead last time, and she is worried that I may get sick.

In fact, I'm also worried, but this is not the time to worry about myself, I have to raise all my energy to deal with Chen Fangyuan, this old boy is as cunning as a fox, I am worried that if I am not careful, I will be brought into the trap by him.

After we returned to the road, I immediately noticed that something was wrong, before I stood on the road with Qiu Yan, all we saw were weeds, these weeds almost covered the entire road, but this time, I found that there were actually very few weeds on the road, and there were two very obvious rut marks on the road, not only that, the houses on both sides of the road were far less dilapidated than we had seen before, these houses were made of reinforced concrete, although they looked dilapidated, but most of them were still standing intact.

It seems that Chen Fangyuan's group of people is really not small, and they have even changed the topography of such a large area!

After getting on the main road, Chen Fangyuan and his group began to walk to the left, this direction is the direction of going deeper into the village, and it is estimated that their old nest is in this direction.

After passing the house that Qiu Yan and I had seen earlier, we walked forward for a few dozen meters, when I saw a house with lights on in front of me and two off-road vehicles parked next to it.

After walking to the side of the house, Chen Fangyuan walked in first, one of Chen Fangyuan's subordinates stood by the door, and only after Qiu Yan and I entered, he came in and closed the door.

It is a fairly ordinary two-story house, and in the hall on the first floor is a dilapidated round table, under which a fire is lit, and food and alcohol are placed on it.

Chen Fangyuan took two people up to the second floor, and the others sat down around the round table. The man who entered the door stretched out his hand upstairs and motioned for Qiu Yan and me to go up.

There was also a hall on the second floor, which was very clean, although I had not been to the other rooms, but from the appearance of the door, these rooms were also very clean, and when I passed through one of the doors, I looked inside, and I saw that the floor of this room was covered with air mattresses, and there were sleeping bags and camping lamps on the mats.

Judging from the clothes and living environment of Chen Fangyuan and these people, this group of people has quite rich experience in wild life, and they have all kinds of equipment, and it seems that they have often lived in the wild, and I can't help but think of the camp I saw on the island at the mouth of the Jingjiang River, if I guess correctly, that camp was left by this group of people.

"Come, sit down first, let me see Miss Qiu's injuries." Chen Fangyuan said politely.

There were no chairs in the room, and Chen Fangyuan only pointed to a few cement bricks on the ground when he motioned for us to sit down, so I quickly took off my coat, laid it on the cement bricks, and then helped Qiu Yan to sit down.

Qiu Yan reluctantly stretched out her left foot, and Chen Fangyuan carefully took it.

"Miss Qiu, I know you must hate me very much, indeed, I lied to your father for more than ten years, and I lied to you for so long, you hate me, I can understand." Chen Fangyuan said softly while checking Qiu Yan's feet, "However, I also have to do it as a last resort, I have my task, and I can't help myself." ”

After speaking, Chen Fangyuan took out a bottle containing a dark red liquid from a suitcase next to him.

"We won't talk about the past, after all, we chose to believe you, and you lied to us because we asked for it, this time, I mainly heard that you can help us, I want to know how you can help me." Although Qiu Yan's mouth was relaxed, her expression was jealous and disgusted.

Chen Fangyuan found some toilet paper, dipped the liquid in the bottle on the toilet paper, and then gently rubbed it on Qiu Yan's ankle.

"I'll talk about this later, I'll tell you, this medicine is prepared by myself, it's much more effective than those safflower oil and bone-setting drugs, we old arms and legs, running outside all day long, it is inevitable that we won't fall and fall or something, we can go so far with my medicine!"

"Looks like you're quite experienced, are these people your subordinates?" I asked, pointing to the two men next to me.

"Hahahaha, subordinates, He boy, why are you older than my thinking, in this era, what other subordinates, do you think we are the underworld? Hahahaha~~~"

Chen Fangyuan's words suddenly made my face a little hot, and I was a little unconvinced, so I continued to ask: "If that's not his subordinates, who are they?" ”

At this time, Chen Fangyuan had already finished wiping the medicine for Qiu Yan, and he held Qiu Yan's feet in his arms and moved very gently.

"What I can tell you is that among these people, there are real Taoist priests, there are Miao family's Gu masters, there are Jin-touching school captains who are proficient in Kanyu art, there are also old Chinese medicine and history experts, and Tujia Tima you are very familiar with, but you don't need to know who they are, I think let's talk about what happened just now, you suddenly didn't move just now, did something happen?" Chen Fangyuan said unhurriedly.

"Old man Chen, we came this time because of the Qiu family's affairs, you can talk about other things if you want, but we are mutual, I have questions I want to ask, and you also have questions you want to ask.

"Okay," Chen Fangyuan put down Qiu Yan's foot, "What do you want to ask?" Just ask! ”

I thought left and right for a while, sorted out my questions, and then asked, "First of all, what happened to the sword you asked my grandmother to give me?" ”

Chen Fangyuan smiled slightly, "I can't tell you the origin of the sword, because it involves the premise of our meeting this time, that is, you can't continue to investigate the tortoise shell, but I can tell you that this sword was inserted at the bottom of Poyang Lake by a Tujia Tima back then." ”

"Of course I know that someone is at the bottom of the lake, don't you mean you didn't answer my question? Let me ask you again, I met a living skeleton at the bottom of the lake, what was the matter, and what did they have to do with this sword? Why do you draw your sword? ”

"Hehe, these are two questions, I can only answer you one, those skeletons are not ordinary corpses, but powerful ghosts from the ghost world, and that sword is used to suppress them."

Chen Fangyuan's answer confirmed my previous conjecture, and it also answered my second question one-sidedly - Chen Fangyuan They pulled out their swords to release these powerful ghosts, and as for why they did this, I don't know, and I know that he won't answer if I ask.

"Okay, it's time for me to ask," Chen Fangyuan said with a grin, "Tell me, what happened just now?" ”
