The fire burned at the entrance of the village, the flames reflected the situation at the entrance of the village clearly, Xiang Qingwu stood on the soil slope behind the village, the soil slope is not very high, but it can see the situation at the entrance of the village clearly, Yan Lao is hurriedly leading the villagers to extinguish the fire, and the villagers are running around like a headless fly, and they don't know how to fetch water to fight the fire.

He is really a thoughtful person, and even these things have been calculated, Xiang Qingwu couldn't help but sigh again.

"Help me, please save me." The woman couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself at Xiang Qingwu's feet and cried.

Xiang Qingwu was drawn back by the woman's cry, she took two steps back, and opened the distance between herself and the woman, "We can save you, but you have to tell us what's going on here?" ”

Everything goes back to three years ago, when Yan Niang and Xiang Qingwu, like them, appeared on the Seven Layers Island inexplicably, everything seemed to have been carefully designed, every level, every tribulation, every death, was almost exactly the same as the contractors who came to the island now.

Yan Niang and they also came to Yan Village by mistake, at that time, the number of people in Yan Village was far less than now, and they enthusiastically regarded outsiders as the chosen ones, and they shared their food with them. But just when everyone was immersed in this atmosphere of extreme enjoyment and being flattered, something happened at last.

It seemed that daylight never came, it was always dark outside the window, and all the villagers were terrified, even with a smile on their faces, one could feel their fear.

A bonfire was lit on the high platform, they were unsuspectingly tied to a pillar by the villagers, they were surrounded by a blazing fire, fear and betrayal broke everyone, they did not understand how the villagers who had been kind and friendly yesterday had become devils today.

"It was a giant beast that I had never seen before, I couldn't see it all at all, I just felt that the whole world suddenly lit up the moment it appeared, and when I reacted, everyone was gone, I don't know why I was left behind, I would rather I be dead. They deliberately provoke me every day, I don't have control at all, every time I get angry I feel my body getting weaker and weaker, I really... I really don't want to live anymore. The woman covered her face in pain and cried.

"That monster you're talking about is a unicorn?" Xiang Qingwu asked.

The woman shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't see it clearly, that thing was so big, I was so scared at the time that I didn't dare to look at it...... Save me, take me out of here! The woman suddenly grabbed Xiang Qingwu's thigh tightly and begged bitterly.

Xiang Qingwu bent down and pushed the woman away, and continued to ask, "When that monster came and when it left, was there any difference between these villagers?" ”

The woman was about to collapse, she didn't understand why Xiang Qingwu kept asking, she just wanted to get out of here quickly, she just wanted to grab Xiang Qingwu and their straw hard, the woman had to force herself to calm down, and tried to recall the scene back then, "When the monster came, I only knew that everyone was scared, they knelt on the ground and kept praying, but I couldn't understand what they were saying, and they put me down after dawn - by the way" The woman suddenly looked at Xiang Qingwu and said, "I remember they said it." The sacrificed person is to be sent to another world, and as long as the demon is defeated, he can atone for his sins. Speaking of this, the woman laughed at herself, "How can you not die if you are eaten by such a big monster." ”

Xiang Qingwu remembered their initial guess, all the contractors could only leave the Seven Islands after they got the fish talisman and found the guide, and now they only knew that the fish talisman needed to be in the body of the big fish to get it, but the guide had always been a mystery. But if what this woman said is true, then is there a possibility that the so-called guide is the monster, or even these villagers?

Thinking of this, Xiang Qingwu asked, "How many fish talismans did you have in your hands at that time?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Our fish talismans are all handed over to the captain for unified safekeeping, there are eight of us in total, and there are seven fish talismans." ”

"Eight people, seven fish talismans......" Xiang Qingwu muttered, if those people deliberately abandoned this woman, but did not give her the fish talisman, then does this explain why she was the only one left?

Xiang Qingwu felt that the layer of tulle in front of her was getting clearer and clearer, and she would soon see the truth behind the tulle.

The fire at the entrance of the village had been gradually extinguished, and the crowd began to disperse.

"Let's go back." Xiang Qingwu turned around and said.

The woman was a little anxious, crying and asking, "When are you going to save me out, I can't stay in this place any longer, and I will die if I stay any longer." ”

Xiang Qingwu stopped, turned around and responded, "Those ghost fires can't actually hurt people, as long as you can be calm and not be intimidated by it, it won't be able to absorb the anger in your body, even if you want to leave, with your current appearance, you can't run away." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then asked excitedly, "Really?" Is it true that as long as I don't get angry, they can't help me? ”

Xiang Qingwu didn't answer her, Yan Lao would be back soon, and they had to rush back as soon as possible.

Just a few seconds after Xiang Qingwu rushed back to the house with Yan Niang, Yan Lao's voice really sounded outside, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect a fire to suddenly break out in a good way, are you okay?" With that, the curtain was opened and he walked in.

Xiang Qingwu and Kong Yan glanced at each other, and Kong Yan smiled, as if he knew what Xiang Qingwu was going to say. Xiang Qingwu pursed his lips and turned his head.

"Yan Lao rest assured, how can we have something, but this Yan Niang is afraid that she will be frightened by my companion, although today's meal is indeed substandard, but my companion is too impatient, I can't help but say a few more words, and I hope Yan Niang will forgive me." Kong Yan said apologetically to Yan Niang.

Yan Niang nodded resignedly, not daring to speak nonsense.

Then a few people said some more words, and Yan Lao left with Yan Niang and the others. Xiang Qingwu listened attentively for a while, and after making sure that there was no one around, he told everyone about Yan Niang.

After that, Kong Yan said thoughtfully, "That means we must find other fish talismans before that monster comes, otherwise we will have to leave alone!" ”

Lu Yan scolded, "Cao, I knew this earlier, we should have killed back in the river to get a few more fish talismans back at the beginning, but now it's okay, there are five of us, plus that woman is six people, but now there is only one jade talisman, how can this be divided?" ”

Kong Yan shook his head, "Even if we go back to the river, we may not be able to find the big fish just now, let alone kill it to get the fish talisman." There is only one way to do it for now-" Halfway through his words, Kong Yan's gaze swept over the few people present, "Rob!" ”

"What a good idea!" Lu Yan happily jumped up from the stool and said excitedly, "It seems that I have to go back to my old job, there is no one in the world who Lu Yan can't steal!" As he spoke, he rubbed his hands excitedly and was eager to try.

Xiang Qingwu said, "Although I don't know how many contractors there are, the number of fish talismans must be less than that of contractors, so we can think of things that others can also think of." ”

"This is probably the main reason why Flame Village keeps crusading against other villages." Kong Yan said that the direction of his thinking is always one step faster than others. But then Kong Yan said regretfully, "It's a pity that Bai Ke has already set off." ”

Xiang Qingwu knew what Kong Yan meant, since he was going to fight for the fish talisman, then Bai Ke was the best time to go deep into the enemy camp this time, but it was a pity that they hadn't gotten this news when Bai Ke left.

The next morning, news came from the villagers that something seemed to have happened to the enemy stationed in the col, and they were packing up their things and preparing to retreat!

Kong Yan immediately said, "Stop them quickly, you must not let them go back!" As he spoke, he immediately ordered the villagers to make a detour from the rear to the front of the enemy, and drove all the enemy to flee in the direction of the village.

Seeing that time passed quickly, there was no news from Bai Ke's side, Kong Yan was a little anxious, walking back and forth in the house, according to the plan, Bai Ke and they should have rushed back before dawn.

"My lord, the enemy is already fleeing this way, what should we do?" Some villagers came running over to inquire.

Kong Yan instructed, "Let Yan Lao lead people over to activate the mechanisms along the road, and be sure to stop the enemy outside the village!" ”

Xiang Qingwu saw Kong Yan's frowning, thought about it and stepped forward and said, "I'll go and see the situation." So saying, he walked outside.

"Wait." Kong Yan called out to her.

Xu Lin was also anxious, he knew that this time the matter was very dangerous, but he didn't dare to stop the other party, so he could only be anxious.

"What else?" Xiang Qingwu turned around and asked.

Kong Yan said, "Bai Ke and they must be in some danger, let Lu Yan go with you." ”

Lu Yan didn't do it, he didn't want to do risky things, "I won't go." ”

Kong Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce color, "Don't you want a fish talisman?" This is the best chance! ”

Lu Yan pursed his lips and reluctantly stood up from the stool, he stretched out his hand towards Kong Yan, "Give me my things!" ”

Kong Yan took out a dagger from his arms, "Your purpose this time is the fish talisman, find as many fish talismans as possible." ”

Lu Yan suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Okay, but if you want to get the fish talisman from me at that time, it's not that simple, at least you have to give something of equivalent value in exchange." ”

Kong Yan didn't say a word, just with Lu Yan's three-legged cat kung fu, if they really wanted to get the fish talisman from him, it would be an easy matter.

Watching Xiang Qingwu leave the house, Kong Yan caught a glimpse of Xu Lin's worried face, so he smiled, "Don't worry, she'll be fine." ”

Xu Lin pursed his lips, nodded slightly, turned around and found a place to start meditating and chanting.
