"You two leave people behind, and I can let you go."

The patriarch below suddenly spoke, he meant that if he wanted to leave, he had to leave Jiang Yuan behind.

Wang Yu said without thinking about it: "No way!" Jiang Yuan is my friend, I must take her back today! ”

Xiao Chun also coldly threatened: "There are many of you, but you may not be able to keep me." ”

The patriarch didn't take Wang Yu in his eyes at all, in the small underworld, Wang Yu's spell couldn't be cast, it was no different from ordinary people, what really made him jealous was Xiao Chun.

"Alas......"

The patriarch suddenly sighed: "Now, I have no choice but to tell you the truth. The reason why we want to keep this girl is not to harm her, but to save her! ”

"Come on! Who do you lie about? ”

Wang Yu didn't believe a word at all.

"I'm not lying, if you take her out of this village and meet that woman, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The patriarch spoke sincerely, not as if he was lying.

Wang Yu asked, "That woman?" Is it the blue-robed female ghost? ”

The patriarch nodded.

He then asked, "What is the origin of that blue-robed female ghost?" ”

"It all starts with our village......

The patriarch said slowly: "Our Li Village is a cursed village, and all the villagers born here, as long as they leave this island, they will get a terminal illness, so fishing has become a means for all villagers to survive. But fishing depends on the sky for food, in order to pray for good weather and good weather, we have a tradition in Li Village, that is, every other Jiazi, that is, 60 years, to sacrifice a maiden to the god of the sea. ”

"So the blue-robed female ghost is the one who was sacrificed?"

Wang Yu felt a sense of anger in his heart, sacrificing people alive, this is simply a cruel and inhumane bad habit.

"Yes, she was originally a girl in our village, but she secretly ate the forbidden fruit from everyone and broke her virgin body, so the sea god was angry, and the heavenly punishment came, and the young people of our Li village died one after another, and in the end, only we old bones were left to survive."

Wang Yu was quite relieved when he heard this, it was really unpleasant for the heavenly way to retribution, let you people make people live and sacrifice, and you should all be destroyed!

"That woman was also punished by the god of the sea, she couldn't. Reincarnated and reincarnated, turned into a resentful spirit wandering in the yang, and had no choice but to invite a monk and a monk to build a temple for her to suppress her resentment. ”

Wang Yu asked in a low voice: "What is the difference between this resentful spirit and a powerful ghost?" Is it just called differently? ”

Tsubaki replied in a low voice: "The difference is big, the resentful spirits are irrational, only the nature of killing and destruction, they are completely born to vent the resentment of life. ”

"So no matter what, we can't let this girl leave now, that woman can enter this little netherworld, but not the village, so it's safe for her to stay here."

Although the patriarch said this, Wang Yu was still not at ease: "Then you can't let Jiang Yuan stay here all the time?" ”

"Of course we won't let this girl stay in this place all the time, and when it's noon, when that woman's strength is at its weakest, we'll send her back to the sun."

Wang Yu really didn't dare to believe what these old ghosts said, was their purpose so simple, really just to protect the only surviving clansmen?

But in the current situation, there seems to be no other option.

He asks Tsubaki's opinion.

Xiao Tsubaki was silent for a while before he replied cautiously: "If we have to leave now, we will definitely have a conflict with them, and even if we can barely get out, we will be exhausted, and once we meet that woman, we will definitely die." ”

Wang Yu had a bottom in his heart, and finally asked Jiang Yuan that her opinion was the key to deciding to stay.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a long time before saying, "Since the patriarch has no malicious intentions and just wants to protect me, then I will stay until noon tomorrow." ”

Wang Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll stay with you until noon tomorrow." ”

Apparently he didn't fully trust the villagers.

The patriarch suddenly reminded: "Little boy, I'm afraid your life-keeping candle won't last until that time." ”

Wang Yu then remembered this stubble, and looked down to see that the candle in the lantern had burned two-fifths of the way, and it could last for another three hours until dawn at most, and it would definitely not last until noon.

Xiao Chun took the initiative to say: "I'm here to accompany Miss Jiang, if they still refuse to release them at noon, I will let them know that it's amazing!" ”

"Thank you!" Wang Yu said gratefully.

There were still three-fifths of the candle to go, Wang Yu was not in a hurry to leave, he and Xiao Chun accompanied Jiang Yuan back to the room.

"Have you found a way to lift the curse?" Wang Yu asked.

Jiang Yuan sat on the big red bed, shook her head, and said distressedly: "The patriarch said that this curse cannot be lifted. ”

"Don't be discouraged, I'm sure there must be another way to save your father." Wang Yu comforted.

Jiang Yuan was probably too sleepy, she yawned, and fell asleep on the head of the bed after a while.

Wang Yu covered her with a quilt, and then walked gently to Xiao Chun's side.

"Xiao Tsubaki, don't you think the patriarch's words are not so trustworthy?"

"That old ghost must have a special mind, I don't believe you can go to the window and take a look."

Wang Yu walked to the window, opened the window, and saw two villagers in the courtyard below pretending to pass by in a panic.

"You even sent someone to spy on us? If it was just to protect Jiang Yuan, it didn't seem necessary to do this? This is obviously afraid that Jiang Yuan will run away! ”

Wang Yu was very angry, looking at it this way, the old ghost of the patriarch was really uneasy and kind, he wanted to leave Jiang Yuan alive or dead, there must be other purposes.

Xiao Chun said to himself suspiciously: "I just can't figure out why these old people in their village committed suicide collectively during the Midyear Festival last year." ”

"That's right! Why did I forget to ask them? ”

"I'm afraid that if you ask, they may not tell you." Xiao Chun said with a serious face: "I have a faint hunch that these villagers have an ulterior purpose from their collective suicide to the present when they leave Jiang Yuan in the underworld. ”

"You're right!"

"Wang Yu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to find out the truth!"

"Are you crazy?"

Xiao Chun strode forward and blocked in front of Wang Yu, one step too late, he was about to open the door.

"Do you know how dangerous this place is?"

"Xiao Chun, don't worry, I have a protective baby."

"Your elementary charms are useless here!"

Wang Yu shook his head, took out a delicate small wooden box, and said with a smile: "This is my killer feature!" ”

This paper-cutting man who can summon the Golden Armor God is the second gift given to him by the old Taoist priest of the City God Temple, and the last time he was in the Rose Manor, he used one and left the last one.

"Xiao Chun, you help me take care of Jiang Yuan, I'll go back when I go."

"Be careful not to let the candle go out."

Xiao Chun saw that Wang Yu had such a treasure to protect himself, so he stopped stopping it.

Wang Yu quietly walked out of the guest room and walked forward in the corridor.

This mansion is huge, after all, it is the residence of the patriarch, and on this floor alone, there are dozens of rooms.

Just when Wang Yu was nervously looking for the truth about the death of Li Village and the name of the village, Liu Zihang in the yang world was also very nervous, he stared at the burning candle on the coffin, and he didn't leave his eyes for a moment, even the slightest beating of the candle flame deeply tugged at his heart.

"This candle is already half burned, why hasn't my cousin come back yet!"

Xu Hao walked over and said, "Zihang, don't be too nervous, Brother Yu, he will definitely be fine." ”

"No! I can't stay here anymore! I have to do something! ”

Xu Hao hurriedly grabbed Liu Zihang's hand, "Zihang, what are you going to do?" Brother Yu said that we can't get out of this formation, otherwise it will be dangerous! ”

"Haozi, you let go of me! I need to find out what the hell is going on, and I need to know what kind of danger my cousin is facing! ”

He Yuwei, who was speechless, suddenly stood up, looked at Liu Zihang and said, "I'll go with you!" ”
