At this time, Chu Yao and Feng Yi walked in, and when they saw the paper man, they were all stunned.

Chu Yao said in a low voice, "It's Shen Pingchuan!" ”

Only then did I see the appearance of the paper figure, which was exactly the same as the statue we had seen in the River Temple.

I looked at it suspiciously, not knowing what Black Swamp Village had to do with Shen Pingchuan.

What surprised everyone even more was that the two eye sockets of the paper man were empty, and the eyeballs were missing, and they seemed to have been deducted by someone.

Chu Yao frowned and asked, "Shen Pingchuan is the founder of the Ghost Face Alliance, could it be that the people in the village have something to do with the Ghost Face Alliance?" They hate Shen Pingchuan so much, are they the enemies of the Ghost Face Alliance? ”

It's a bit of a strange thing, and we certainly won't be intimidated by a paper figure.

But the whole village had a strange aura.

Chu Yao said, "Otherwise, we will stay here for one night, and tomorrow at dawn, we will go to find the seven-hole lotus flower." ”

What she said makes a lot of sense, the third watch broke into this weird place in the middle of the night, who knows if she will fall into the trap of the other party?

We made up our minds to stay in the room and not go anywhere.

At this moment, Feng Yi pointed to the gate and said, "Look, that lantern is extinguished. ”

Looking in the direction of his finger, I realized that the lantern that was still on just now had gone out at some point.

There was a look of confusion on everyone's faces.

Chu Yao waved his hand at us, and then pointed outside.

I heard a soft sound of footsteps coming in, as if someone was coming into the room.

"Someone's coming!" Feng Yi said in a low voice.

Everyone held their breath and looked out.

But we could only hear footsteps, but we couldn't see people.

In the lanterns at the entrance of the other courtyards, there are still candles flickering.

Only the lantern at the gate of this courtyard went out.

Chu Yao said in a low voice, "Could it be that the lantern was extinguished because there were people in the courtyard?" ”

"It's possible." I nodded.

Maybe the lantern is just a signal that the lantern will go out as soon as someone comes in.

At that moment, footsteps sounded softly again.

Of course, our strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but when we look into the courtyard, we still can't see a single figure.

Feng Yi said, "You wait for me in the room, I'll go out and see what is going on." ”

Chu Yao told him, "Be careful, if something is wrong, come back quickly." ”

"Got it." Feng Yi was also very nervous, and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

He rushed out of the room with a brisk stride.

At the same time, I heard Feng Yi shouting outside, "Stop! ”

Listening to the footsteps, he seemed to be chasing after the back of the house.

We waited for four or five minutes, and Feng Yi didn't make any more sounds.

Feng Yi is not only good at strength, but also very experienced.

If he noticed something was wrong, he would definitely call us over and help.

But after waiting for nearly ten minutes, Feng Yi still didn't move at all.

Chu Yao and I were a little panicked at this time.

Chu Yao asked, "Where did Feng Yi go?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

I couldn't tell, so I told her, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

Chu Yao agreed, and we came out of the room.

As a result, he searched the entire courtyard, but he couldn't find any trace of Feng Yi, as if he had evaporated.

I shouted Feng Yi's name loudly.

My voice echoed over the village, but there was no response.

Chu Yao said in a low voice, "What the hell, how could Feng Yi disappear?" ”

I was covered in sweat, I had grown so big, and it was the first time I had encountered such a strange thing.

We walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the lanterns in the distance.

There didn't seem to be a single living person in the whole village, only lanterns swaying in the wind.

Chu Yao said, "Feng Yi may have run away, why don't we go back and wait for him." ”

In fact, Chu Yao, like me, is also very bottomless in her heart. Because we don't even know what we're up against.

The two of us went back to the room, and after waiting for more than an hour, Feng Yi still didn't come back.

I have a very bad premonition that something must have happened to Feng Yi.

But we have a feeling that we don't know where to start.

Chu Yao was a little panicked and asked me, "What should I do?" ”

I knew that if I delayed for one more minute, Feng Yi would be more dangerous.

Before I could speak, I suddenly saw the lantern at the door light up.

Chu Yao also saw this scene and said, "There are people at the gate!" ”

I saw an old man standing in front of the lantern, lighting the candle inside.

After being in the village for so long, we saw a living person for the first time.

But I feel that this old man is a little more ghostly.

He must have something to do with the village, maybe he knew what happened to Feng Yi.

Chu Yao and I walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Hearing the footsteps, the old man just glanced at us, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the village.

I shouted at him, "Uncle, please stay." ”

Hearing my shout, the old man slowly stopped, turned to look at me, but did not speak.

I asked, "One of my friends is missing, do you know where he is?" ”

The old man said casually, "Outsiders who come to the village will not end well." I advise you not to look for him, if you want to live, just leave quickly. ”

His voice was very flat, as if it was normal for someone to disappear in the village.

Chu Yao stepped forward, blocked his way, and asked, "Could you please tell me where he is?" ”

And stared at him with an unkind face, since he was from the village, he must know Feng Yi's whereabouts.

The old man had always been very calm, and he didn't seem to take Chu Yao in his eyes at all.

He asked, "Did the lantern go out just now?" ”

He lit the lantern with his own hands and asked us this question.

Chu Yao looked at him coldly, the old man did not have a trace of expression on his face, and was even a little numb.

"You may not know, but there are two Black Swamp villages. Now that the lantern is gone, he must have been taken to another Black Pond Village. ”

His words were even more inexplicable, he didn't seem to see Chu Yao, and still walked towards the front.

Chu Yao had to step aside. I continued, "So how can we find him?" ”

The old man said, "Your lives are about to be saved, so let's think more about yourself." ”

The old man always speaks slowly, which makes people angry with anxiety.

After a while, the old man continued, "If you want to live, come with me. ”

Chu Yao and I glanced at each other, then both nodded and followed behind him.

The old man did not speak, but still led the way unhurriedly.

With his head down, he walked out of the village.

Three or four miles away from the village, there was a very simple thatched hut, and in front of the thatched hut there was a large cemetery.

Under the moonlight, the cemetery could not be seen at a glance, and it seemed that many people had died and were buried here.

The graves are high and undulating, like steamed buns.

Seeing the look of surprise on our faces, the old man said, "You may not know. Anyone who enters the village will die, and these graves are theirs. ”

In this way, there are certainly not a few people who have died here over the years.

Chu Yao said coldly, "Uncle, don't go around the bend with us." We are outsiders and accidentally broke into the village. Just say what you want! ”

Hearing her words, the old man stopped and asked, "You must have come for that thing, right?" ”

Although the old man looked like an old dragon clock, his eyes were very bright.

Being stared at by him gives you a very unsettling feeling.

Chu Yao said, "Yes, we are here to find the Seven Hole Lotus!" ”

The old man said with a smile, "As expected. But I'm only in charge of collecting the body, and I advise you to hurry up, maybe there's still a chance. ”

Chu Yao took a step forward and said, "The Seven-Hole Lotus is very important to us, if you tell us where it is, we will definitely not treat you badly." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Although the seven-hole lotus is a rare treasure, it is also a terrible thing, and over the years, countless people have died for it. ”

Chu Yao knew that if he didn't give him something powerful, he would definitely not say it, so he pulled out the short sword.

The old man was not afraid at all, but walked towards the hut and said, "Since you are obsessed, then I will tell you where it is." I'm afraid you don't have the ability to get it. ”

Seeing us staring at him intently.

"Come with me!" The old man said.

I asked, "What do you call it?" ”

The old man still said in a very flat voice, "Everyone else calls me Lao Qin. ”

I asked, "Are you the only one left in the whole village?" ”

Lao Qin said, "Many people came to the seven-hole lotus, and the villagers were all killed, and I was the only one left." ”
