I smiled faintly and didn't pick up the cigarette holder that the old man handed me. The latter snorted coldly, did not speak, and sat not far from me, and smoked a cigarette.

That old man is a magic spirit, and when I smoke his cigarette, I sign a contract with him. He helped me find out the secret of Anping Village, and I had to fulfill one of his conditions.

The other two souls haven't come out, so there's no way I'm going to sign a contract with him right now.

I sat under the tree for a long time, but I never saw anyone come out, and I couldn't help frowning: Could it be that he is the only one in Anping Village?

Wrong! I quickly dismissed my idea. The incense of human bones can transmit thousands of miles, even if there is no magic soul in Anping Village, is there no one within a thousand miles?

Could it be that the other magic souls were scared away by this old man?

I don't know why, but the more I looked at the old man's back, the more I felt like an old walnut. Especially the domineering that lurks in the silence, it is simply carved out of a mold. At first glance, he looks like an old man in his last years, but as long as you pay close attention, you can see that there is still the last essence hidden in his body, and once this power bursts out, it will inevitably be earth-shattering.

When I subconsciously tried to get up, I suddenly felt a chill behind me. It felt like a cold wind was running between my back and the trunk of the tree. Without hesitation, I leaned over to the trunk of the tree, and my whole body was pressed against the tree and did not move.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind me, and it sounded like a snake crawling around the trunk of a tree. Soon, the sound was coming from top to bottom over my head, and a chill rose on my scalp - someone had put a hand on my head.

As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I heard someone say, "Open the gate of heaven, and I will sign a contract with you!" ”

Open the Gate of Heaven? At this time, no fool will take off the spirit rune on his head. Open the Heavenly Gate, who knows if he will directly drill into my Mud Pill Palace in the next moment and devour my three souls and seven spirits.

"Let it go!" The man saw that I was indifferent, and simply said: "At this time, there will be no other magic souls, that old man is not my opponent, and I am the only one who can help you." ”

I rolled my eyes and looked, and the old man, who was sitting away with his back to me, sat there smoking a cigarette as if he hadn't heard him.

Was he dismissive of the guy on my head, or was he really afraid of him and pretended not to see anything?

I'm definitely not going to choose the thing on my head, but I don't have the bottom in my heart to choose the old man. In case, I really chose the wrong one, and it was a dead end!

As I was hesitating, I heard the sound of hooves. When I rolled my eyes to look, a woman riding a donkey had already appeared in the corner of my eye, and the other party was expressionlessly urging the black donkey under her, and walked towards me step by step, five or six steps away from me, on the reins of the black donkey, and with a shake of her body, it was under my nose. The woman crouched down, clasped her hands in front of her chest, hung her head and moved it to the front of me, before she slowly reached out and threw a piece of white-soaked flesh on the ground.

I rolled my eyes to look at the rancid piece of meat on the ground, and forced my breath to resist the urge to vomit.

The woman reached out and picked up the meat, and took a hard bite before bringing the piece of meat with the tooth marks to me: "Eat! ”

"Hehe...... the man above me sneered, "Do you dare to eat?" You can't have seen a dead person who has been rotten for a few days, have you? I tell you, that piece of meat was cut from a sunken corpse at the bottom of the river. She eats even the flesh of the dead, let alone the living. If she's done for you and asks you to hand over a big living person, I'll see where you can get it!" ”

Cold sweat ran down my forehead. The three magic souls are more elusive than the other, who should I choose?

In the midst of all my desperation, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my head!

The old man was sitting in a position where he could slash over my head with just a palm of his hand. He looked like he didn't move, and actually had put the cigarette stick in his left hand. Is he gaining momentum?

When the woman came over just now, she paused obviously, not because she didn't want to urge the black donkey to knock the old man out, but she didn't dare. There is no law between the souls, let alone law enforcers, and what is important is the law of the jungle. If the old man really can't do it, the other two magic souls must have already done it.

I said, "I want to smoke!" ”

The body of the woman squatting in front of me trembled slightly, and without saying a word, she stood up and rode on the black donkey, and disappeared without a trace.

The guy above my head was still holding on to my heavenly spirit cover, gritting his teeth for a while, but he wouldn't leave. It wasn't until the old man snorted coldly that he withdrew his claws with a swish and said fiercely, "You'll regret it!" ”

Only then did the old man hand me the cigarette pouch. I opened my mouth and grabbed the cigarette holder and took two snorts before the old man smiled: "My name is Guo Zu, the pawn of the pawn." You can call me a pawn. ”

"Li Xi." After I got my head up, I said straight to the point: "I came to Anping Village to investigate the murder of ghosts and gods here. Can you help me? ”

The old man frowned and thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I can't help you with this matter." I can't figure out what the ghosts and gods who came to Anping to bring people are. You can ask for another one. ”

"No way!" I shook my head and said, "That's all I have to ask." ”

The old man thought for a long time before saying, "I can help you check, but I won't meet that ghost." ”

"Yes!" I know this should be the bottom line of the other party: "What do you want?" ”

The old pawn said nonchalantly: "I'll talk about it when I'm done with your business." Just remember to owe me a request. ”

I couldn't help but frown. I'm not afraid of the old lion opening his mouth, no matter how high he asks, I also have room for bargaining. But he doesn't say it now, and when the matter is over, I will owe him a favor, and I'll be embarrassed to deal with him.

I feel like I know the Northeast people very well. Nine out of ten people on the Northeast Jianghu Road want to save face, and the more acquaintances they are, the more embarrassed they are to return to the absolute side, even if they lose money, they will help their friends.

Will this guy have this kind of thought?

The old man didn't wait for me to speak, and then said: "I'm not the soul of Anping Village, but those two people have been living in Anping just now, and they should know about things here." ”

I raised my eyebrows: "Who are they?" ”

"The one that weighs on your head is the water god enshrined in Anping Village, Lord Jin. The woman who gave you meat was the god of the land near the cemetery in Anping Village, the Black Lady. ”

The old man said to himself: "Shen Yin Wood comes down from the upstream, it will definitely pass through the Water God Temple, and if there is anything, Lord Jin can see it clearly." The warlocks who came to the village to do business were all buried near the Land Temple after they died, and eighty percent of the ghosts of those people had been eaten by the Black Lady. What did they look at before they died, you are right to ask the black lady. ”

The pawn looked at me, "These two guys are not very easy to deal with. I can help you get them out, but it's up to you to ask what you can ask. Who are you going to go to first? ”

"Looking for King Jin!" Ever since I smoked the old pawn's cigarette, I got out of my old half-asleep state, got up, took out a flare gun from my satchel, and shot twice into the sky. After two signal flares, one red and one green, rushed into the air with whistles, Tan Yue quickly rushed over: "What's the matter?" ”

"The plan has changed a bit, so I can only call you back first." As I spoke, I looked in the direction of the Water Temple, but Ye Sen over there didn't move.

"Ye Sen is in distress! Come on! "Tan Yue and I flew straight to the Water Temple, and before we could reach the temple gate, we heard Ye Sen's roar coming from the temple. The inside of the temple gate was illuminated by the golden light of the explosion, and the figure of a fierce tiger flickered in the temple, and the furnishings in the hall fell in all directions......

When Tan Yue and I arrived at the gate of the temple, it had been turned upside down. Ye Sen didn't know what he was fighting against, I could only see claw shadows flying up and down all around him, but I couldn't see exactly where his opponent was.
