Old man Yan looked at the doctor and didn't answer, but his expression at this time was obviously acquiescing.

I'm completely stunned, if what the old man said is true, then he is a backbone person who is an era earlier than the grandfather! This kind of legend is not only alive to this moment, but still standing in front of me, which makes me feel very unreal.

The doctor could barely maintain his composure, so he asked him: "Senior, what you said is really shocking, not that we don't believe it, but there are indeed some things in it that we can't understand." Since the big array has been arranged back then, why do you still stay in the ancient town? Also, you know that the death of outsiders in the ancient town will cause the seal to be broken, why don't you save them, but let them die in the ancient town? Isn't this contrary to your original intention of setting up a formation to prevent the node seal from being broken? ”

After listening to the doctor's analysis, I said yes! Not to mention, since two years ago, the company has sent three groups of expeditions, and these people have not been heard from in the end, and I don't know if they are alive or dead, but I found the bodies of those people in the Yangzhen Inn. It is certain that those people are already dead, and Old Man Yan has been living in the ancient town, why not save these people? You must know that after these people die in the ancient town, it will affect the seal.

We all stared at Old Man Yan to see what he would say.

The old man's reaction was beyond our expectations, he did not rush to answer, but sneered: "Help? How to save? ”

I was puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "You can live unharmed in the ancient town for a hundred years, is there no way to save these people?" Even if you can't get out, it's better to let them stay in the ancient town like you, than to watch them die! ”

Hearing this, Old Man Yan looked at me like an idiot, and kept shaking his head: "I just praised you for your quick reaction, why are you like an idiot again." I've been keeping the seal here for nearly a hundred years, and if there's really a way to save people, do you still need to say it? ”

He let out a long sigh as he spoke, and continued, "Long before we found out about this place, the ghosts of the townsfolk were corrupted by the nodal aura. Each of these ghosts has accumulated a powerful resentment, coupled with the blessing of Feng Shui Eye, the entire ancient town has been cursed terrible, no matter how hard the life, but once you step into the ancient town, you will slowly be cursed to death. ”

"I don't know if you've noticed that as time goes by, you've encountered more and more accidents, and they're becoming more and more dangerous, but they're all affected by the town's curse."

His words made my scalp tingle, and when I thought back to my recent experience, I realized that it was really the case.

"The curse of the ancient town is not a specific curse, it will only make you suffer from accidents constantly, or from the people around you, or from a wooden board that suddenly falls, or maybe even from me...... These are all unexpected factors. ”

"Senior, you wait!" The doctor interrupted Old Man Yan's words and said, "Since the curse of the ancient town is so powerful, then why have you been okay for nearly a hundred years?" ”

I also said, "The doctor is right, and you drive the corpses to the other side of the bridge every night, why is that?" ”

"Well, that's why I can't save people!" Yan Wudao shook his head, turned around and left the window, sat back in his chair, picked up the cup of tea that was already cold and took a sip before continuing:

"I was able to live unharmed in the ancient town, one is because I have two things on my body that can minimize the impact on me; Because I was originally a cultivator, I could resist my own Taoism, and when your grandfather and the two left, they used special means to collect my popularity, so in the eyes of those unjust souls, I was the same as them. ”

Now I have nothing to say to the doctor, if this is the case, then I really can't blame the old man for not saving him.

"As for the ...... of chasing corpses in the middle of the night," Old Man Yan smiled bitterly when he said this, and said helplessly: "If there is no way, who wants to be trapped in this lonely town for nearly a hundred years?" There was an accident when the formation was set up, resulting in the need to artificially guide the ghost to cross the reincarnation bridge, your grandfather has another important matter, so we set a three-year period, I will stay in the ancient town for three years, and after they deal with the matter after three years, they will come to meet me, and completely solve the disaster of the ancient town. ”

I didn't need to say it later, I also guessed it, from the track of the Taiye's activities that I knew, combined with the approximate timeline of their arrival in the ancient town, it can be deduced that the Taiye went to Xiangnan within half a year after going to the Central Plains to find a helper after coming out of the Ghost Turning Ridge, and then he returned to Miao Jiang with the Xuanmen master he found, and entered the Ghost Turning Ridge again, and disappeared from then on.

The incident that Old Man Yan said in his mouth should be what the old man planned to do when he entered the Ghost Turning Ridge, but unfortunately, since then, the old man has not heard from him, and the three-year appointment he made with Old Man Yan has become empty talk.

Thinking of this, when I looked at Old Man Yan again, the kind of vigilance and disgust I had for him suddenly became much lighter, and I felt a little sympathetic.

I was about to tell him about my grandfather's disappearance, but I didn't want to be stopped by him, he waved his hand: "If you don't say it, I also know, what they are going to do is nine deaths, and after three years, I didn't wait for them, I knew that they must have failed or had a problem, and now you are here, proving that something is true to them." ”

Hearing this, I was puzzled and asked him: "So, you already knew that there would be a possibility of being trapped in the ancient town all the time?" Also, what exactly is that thing that my grandfather did? ”

The old man smiled indifferently, glanced at me, and seemed unwilling to talk to me about this, so he changed the subject: "I can't say these things, and what you should be concerned about now should be how to deal with the next problems." I saved you just now, firstly, you helped me once before, and secondly, for the sake of your grandfather, but don't think that your grandfather is familiar with me, I will save you, or that sentence, I will not do meaningless things, so the next time the situation arises, whether you die or live depends on your creation. ”

The old man's words were quite unkind, but from the indifferent expression on his face, I knew that he was not joking, and I felt a little chill in my heart.

The doctor didn't pay much attention to it, but just asked, "Senior, when you said that Luo Yi lied just now, you seemed to have a great prejudice against her, did you find anything?" ”

I had forgotten about this, but now that I heard the doctor talk about it, I remembered that I suspected Old Man Yan because he said that Luo Yi lied to people, and now that we know Old Man Yan's identity, it is unlikely that he will lie to me about this kind of thing, so Luo Yi is suspicious.

At the mention of Luo Yi, Old Man Yan's face suddenly became solemn, and he said, "There is definitely something wrong with that girl." ”

"She's a girl, what's wrong with her?" Among these people in the tour group, in addition to the doctor, I trust Luo Yi the most, so I naturally believe that she has a problem.

Old Man Yan ignored my rebuttal and said to himself: "When I saw her for the first time, I noticed that there was a special aura on her body, and that aura was familiar, some like Miao Wu's natal spirit Gu. ”

Hearing him say this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly interjected: "Senior, if you are only suspicious of her because of Gu, then you can rest assured, that Gu is actually like this......"

I quickly told Luo Yi's life experience, thinking that I could dispel the old man's suspicions about Luo Yi, but after listening to it, he shook his head for a while: "No, no, the Natal Spirit Gu is different from other Gu worms, after the Natal Gu is planted, the lives of people and Gu are intertwined, if there is no specific cultivation and cultivation method, the Gu worms will continue to absorb the vitality of the host, and in a few years, both Gu and people will be cut off from their vitality and die." According to what you said, that girl was just planted by her family with a natal Gu, so it is impossible for her to survive until now. ”

"Furthermore, the noodles you ate that day were not eaten by people, but eaten by ghosts, and if you eat yin things with a yang human body, the yin qi will definitely burn into the body, and the pain will be unbearable, which must have been experienced by you."

I nodded, I thought it was poisonous in that noodle before, but now that I heard the old man talk about it, I realized that it was not eaten by people at all, no wonder I was almost tortured to death at that time.

At this time, the doctor seemed to suddenly understand something, and his face changed: "Reporter, what the predecessor said should be true." ”

"Really? What is really, do you also believe that there is something wrong with Loy? I looked at the doctor puzzled, wondering why he had suddenly changed his position.

The doctor frowned, sighed, and said, "The three of us also ate noodles that day, but Luo Yi is fine, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"What, what does this mean? She hadn't already explained, it was because of the Gu worm relationship. ”

The doctor shook his head, "I don't think so, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, I've long suspected that there is something wrong with her, since the first meeting." ”

"A girl, even if she has practiced drinking since she was a child, it is impossible not to get drunk with a thousand glasses, and she is a girl, in the face of our two big men, she is not worried at all, her words and deeds are full of confidence, she gave me the feeling at the time, as if we really have other intentions, the last person to die will be us."

"Of course, these are just my feelings, not evidence, but when she encountered the faceless paper man in the alley that day, she exposed the fact that she was extraordinary."

"You'll wait!" I interrupted the doctor, feeling that my brain couldn't turn a little, and asked, "Faceless paper man, didn't Xia He do it to me, what does this have to do with Luo Yi?" ”

"That's what I did!" Without waiting for the doctor to answer, Old Man Yan suddenly said loudly.

The doctor and I both looked at Yan Wudao in surprise, not understanding what was going on, but Old Man Yan waved his hand and motioned for the doctor to continue. Surprised, the doctor nodded at me and asked if I remembered the situation.

I said in my heart that it was such a terrifying and critical situation, how could I forget, so I nodded and said: "Remember, I didn't know what restricted my movement at the time, and the rooftop man upstairs threw a kitchen knife at the top of Luo Yi's head, and at the last moment, you returned in time to save her." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the doctor shook his head, "No, you only see the surface, in fact, even if I don't save her, she will be fine!" ”

Now I was really completely confused, and hurriedly asked him what was going on? The doctor described the situation. It turned out that a second before he knocked down Luo Yi, that is, at the moment when the kitchen knife was about to hit Luo Yi, her body quickly moved to the side, because the speed was very fast, and the movement was not large, it was difficult for outsiders to detect it in an emergency at that time, even a doctor, if she hadn't been in the wrong position at the moment when she knocked down Luo Yi, I am afraid she would not have been able to detect that she had moved her position.

Being able to respond in such a dangerous situation at that time, and grasping the distance so accurately, can only show that Luo Yi is not only a master, but also has a very good mental quality.

Although I didn't want to believe that Luo Yi had a problem, the words of Old Man Yan and the doctor made me feel shaken in my heart, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable when I thought of the situation I had been with Luo Yi for a while.

The doctor patted me, which was considered comfort, I sighed and said, "You all said that she had a problem, but she did not disadvantage us along the way, but helped me and the doctor when we were in danger, from this point of view, she should not be a bad person, right?" ”

Old man Yan glanced at me, and suddenly snorted coldly: "Hmph, it's not a bad person, a person from the Heavenly Witch Sect, is it still a good person?" ”

I was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Heavenly Witch Sect?" Senior, you said that Luo Yi is a member of the Heavenly Witch Sect? This, how is this possible? ”

The old man's face was very ugly, and he snorted: "I released the faceless man who attacked you that day, and the target was not you, but to test the girl." ”

The old man has already mentioned this point just now, and it is not too shocking to say it again at this time, what I am concerned about now is the result of the old man's trial. Hurriedly asked: "Senior, even if Luo Yi hides her skills and natal Gu, doesn't that mean that she is from the Heavenly Witch Sect?" ”

"Huh, what do you know?" He snorted, then turned to the doctor and asked, "You should have climbed up the wooden building to see it, right?" ”

The doctor nodded, and the old man asked again, "What do you see on it?" ”

The doctor was stunned, not understanding what the old man meant by asking, and replied: "At that time, after climbing upstairs, I only found some ashes by the window, and a paper figure. ”

"Hmph, what you see is ashes, but after you leave, what I see is insects everywhere."

The doctor's face changed, and Old Man Yan continued: "That paper figure was made by me with a small trick, even if it is a small trick, it is not something that a little guy like you who has practiced some foreign kung fu can catch, before you go upstairs, the paper figure has been broken by Gu magic, that kind of Gu worm I saw a hundred years ago, it is a kind of black witch Gu technique, and it is the means of fame of a core figure of the Nine Lotus God Sect a hundred years ago." If I hadn't seen that kind of Gu worm with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to know the identity of that girl, just now I heard you talk about the Heavenly Witch Sect and the matter of the copper bell, I am sure that she is indeed the descendant of the Nine Lotus God Sect, and her status is definitely not low.

In an instant, I felt that all the strength of my body was taken away, and the memory of Luo Yi suddenly became extremely strange and vague during this period of time, remembering that she did everything possible to stay in the ancient town and refused to leave, as well as our speculation about the copper bell and the black hand behind all this, I have believed seventy percent of Old Man Yan's words.
