We walked all the way in the direction of the tree, but it was as if the original path had changed, and we should have been able to see the tree according to the previous way of walking, but it didn't.

Walking all the way, after pushing away a group of weeds, I actually saw the big tree before, and the big tree seemed to have spotted us, and let out a muffled roar, and countless branches writhing like snakes stretched out towards us, and before we could react, they wrapped us tightly and dragged us to the front of the big tree.

"You deceived me of my most precious thing, and you dare to come back? I'm going to entangle you alive and make you the best fertilizer to make up for your deception to me! The tree shouted angrily.

"Please wait a minute, everything before was a misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding, we came back to explain this matter to you, please give us a chance!" I shouted.

"Was it a misunderstanding? You are clearly premeditated to deceive me of my most precious things, and dare you say that it is a misunderstanding? ”

I could clearly feel the anger of the tree from the power of the branches, and I quickly explained, "It's really a misunderstanding, if we are premeditated to deceive you, why do we want to come back?" We found out that we were wrong, so we rushed back to return the things to you. ”

As I spoke, I took the note out of my pocket, and a branch took the note from my hand, and placed it in the hollow again, and the tree loosened the branch suspiciously, "Did you really come back to bring things back on purpose?" ”

The three of us glanced at each other, nodded sincerely, and said, "It's true, we had something else on our bodies at that time, so we took the wrong hand for a while, please believe us." ”

Anyway, we've seen everything on that note, and we'll return it to him, and it's useless to keep it.

The branches that wrapped around us gradually loosened and laid us on the ground, and a dull voice came overhead: "Then I will believe you once, you can go." ”

I hesitated and said, "We have something we want your help with. ”

After a long time, the big tree slowly spoke: "I can't help you with my mobility, so you better get out of here." ”

"We just want to ask you a few questions, it won't delay you a lot, not to mention that you want someone to talk to you for such a long time."

The tree was silent for a moment, as if moved by my words, "Okay, you can ask." ”

"Zhang Lei, do you know who Zhang Lei is? Is he an out-of-town journalist? ”

I asked eagerly, but Dashu was silent, as if recalling the past, "Zhang Lei, he is not a foreigner, but a local, he is a very good young man, and he is also the most diligent young man in our village, but unfortunately his stinky temper, others can fight with others if they say the wrong word, but this is not good." ”

My heart moved, it seems that Zhang Lei is a local, not a reporter, all our previous speculations have been overturned, but why did the professor who met the reporter back then say that the reporter's name is Zhang Lei? Could it be that something went wrong?

"Then can you tell me, what is the relationship between Zhang Lei and Liang Yue'er?"

"Zhang Lei and Liang Yue'er ......" Dashu was silent for a while and said: "The two of them are husband and wife, but too much time has passed, and I am about to forget, and all I can remember now is just fragments." ”

Although there is not much information, I finally know that Zhang Lei and Liang Yue'er are husband and wife, so I continued to ask: "Then do you know where the village chief went after the fire broke out in the ancient village?" What kind of person was he before? ”

"Village chief? Heh, there is no village chief in this village at all. ”

I looked at the big tree in surprise and asked, "There is no village chief?" ”

"Yes, there is only one guardian in this village who is responsible for worshiping the gods, he is in charge of communication between the gods and mortals, and no one has ever seen the village chief."

I asked with some curiosity: "Since there is no village chief, why did he say that he had seen the village chief when the reporter came to visit before?" What's going on here? ”

"The Guardian has always lived in the temple, and only the priestess has access to the Guardian, and I think the person you mentioned should be the Priestess."

"Priestess?"

"Yes, the priestess is a young and beautiful woman, time seems to have frozen in her body, as long as the priestess does not break the divine body, she will never grow old, and every priestess is chosen by the guardian, and she is the village chief."

I glanced at Atcha and Thundercloud, it seems that it is the right time to come back to find the big tree this time, at least we understand that the reporter was in contact with the priestess at the beginning, which is why the reporter will be with the priestess easily later, because the priestess has already been moved when she pretends to be the village chief to get along with the reporter.

I continued, "Do you know anything about journalists?" He didn't go back later, and there was another fire in the ancient village, was he chosen by the guardian to become the priest of the temple? ”

Dashu said slowly: "I've never seen any reporters, or maybe I've forgotten the reporter I've seen before." ”

"And one last question, where is Zhang Lei's home?"

"The last house in the southeast."

I looked at the tree with great gratitude and said, "Thank you for helping us answer these questions." ”

"Young man, when the time comes, go away, don't try to explore things you shouldn't know, you can't afford to get into trouble."

We didn't hear what Taishu meant by these words, but we were still grateful to him, and we were still discussing what Taishu had told us as we walked back.

"Brother Zhengxin, Zhang Lei and the reporter are not the same person, the female ghost is looking for Zhang Lei, why do I think that the person who betrayed the female ghost back then was not Zhang Lei but the reporter?" Thundercloud Road.

"It's very clear in the diary, the reporter took the priestess's money and left the ancient village, but for what reason he came back, but the female ghost was dead at that time, and even Zhang Lei died, I think something should have happened later, the reporter used Zhang Lei's identity to go back, and his behavior made me feel that he was hiding from people."

"Hiding from people? Are you hiding from the priestess? The reporter used the priestess to steal the holy relics of the temple, so he used Zhang Lei's identity so that the priestess could not find him. "Thundercloud Road.

I nodded and replied, "It was the priestess who received the reporter, and the place where she lived should be the temple, how could the Guardian let a stranger live in the temple?" I think the Guardian and the Priestess had a different plan. ”

"No, there's a weirder place." Atcha said: "Before, Xiao Tian and Xu Xiaoqiong came to the ancient village to play, and the house they lived in should be the temple, and the ancient village at that time should not exist, why is this?" Who led them to the ancient village? ”
