For the next day and night, Liu Shan and I stayed at Uncle Xu's house.

Except for the two men who were guarding the house, who brought us a little food at a certain time, no one came to us again.

It's as if we've forgotten.

And the whole village was calm, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until the next morning that Xu Ergou finally found it.

This time Xu Ergou looked very bad, and when he saw me, he knelt directly in front of me, and said with red eyes: "We misunderstood you before, please help us." ”

Seeing Xu Ergou like this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

I know that the people who went up the mountain behind must have had an accident.

I helped Xu Ergou up and said, "You can tell me about the situation first." ”

Xu Ergou said angrily: "After betting with you, we picked a few people out to find that Boss Zhang and went up the mountain that night." ”

"There were five people in total, and none of them came down."

"Even Xu Tie ......"

Xu Ergou's voice became a little choked when he said this.

"We went to ask Boss Zhang, but Boss Zhang invited the Taoist from Maoshan again, not because they took the baby and ran away."

"What do the others say?" I asked.

Xu Ergou said: "Some people still believe it, and they have already received money from Boss Zhang. ”

"But when I think of what the village chief looked like at that time, I don't dare to believe it anymore."

I sighed, I didn't know what to say.

It has been clear that so many people have died, and there are still people who want to believe the words of Boss Zhang.

On the side, Liu Shan also sighed: "People die for money, birds die for food." ”

"Boss Zhang really gave too much."

Xu Ergou looked at me again and said, "It was my fault before. ”

"Please help us."

"They're going up the mountain tonight, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back."

"So many people have disappeared in the village......"

I nodded and said, "I see." ”

"Take me there."

Soon the three of us came to the entrance of the village, and at a glance, I saw that Boss Zhang was still holding money and was instigating the villagers of Tanhua Village, and the Taoist priest who claimed to be from Maoshan was standing aside, with an indifferent face and a high-ranking appearance.

And sure enough, at this time, a few people had already taken Boss Zhang's money, and it seemed that they still wanted to go up the mountain to find the so-called baby.

Seeing that Xu Ergou was coming with me, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

Boss Zhang's eyes also fell on me, he should have known what happened before, and his face was a little more dissatisfied when he saw me.

"Young man."

"You're too unkind, aren't you?"

As soon as Boss Zhang saw me, he walked towards me.

"It's not easy for big guys to make money, and now there is an opportunity for them to make money, and you actually instigated them, didn't let them go, and said that there are ghosts on the mountain."

"The Taoist chief can say, there are no ghosts on the mountain."

"Those people just ran away."

"You'll have to explain this to me."

I looked at him, smiled and said, "Aren't you also inciting everyone to go up the mountain?" ”

"So many people are missing, could it be that they all took the treasure and ran away?"

"Moreover, as an outsider, they can all agree with me to go up the mountain, why don't you just give them the money, and you go up the mountain to find the treasure yourself."

"Won't they run away with their treasures anymore?"

Boss Zhang was a little speechless by me, and after a while, he snorted coldly: "How can I have so much time?" ”

"Besides, what does it matter to you how I am willing to spend my money?"

"You spread rumors that there are ghosts on the mountain, which makes everyone frightened......"

Before Boss Zhang finished speaking, the Taoist priest who had been silent behind him walked over, he looked at me for a while and said, "I heard from the villagers that you have great skills. ”

"You said you were here to catch ghosts?"

"I just don't know, which sect are you from?"

Hearing this, I looked at him and did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "Then which sect and faction are you?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "The poor Daoist King Shouyi comes from the Maoshan lineage, and now he is traveling. ”

Is it really Maoshan in the same vein?

I frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "The poor Dao comes from the line of the Heavenly Master, and he studied under the Heavenly Master Li Bowen, whose name is Li Xuantian, and now he is also traveling. ”

"Heavenly Master Bloodline?" Wang Shouyi was a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "I have never heard of this vein, and I have never heard of Li Bowen. ”

I was stunned for a moment.

I don't even know the Heavenly Master?

Is this really a Taoist priest from Maoshan?

At this time, Wang Shouyi's eyes turned cold directly.

"How dare you, a junior sent by a nameless sect who doesn't know where, question the poor way?"

Hearing his words, Boss Zhang on the side echoed: "That's it." ”

"I think you're a charlatan."

"Even the king has repeatedly confirmed that there are no ghosts on this mountain, how dare you talk nonsense."

After speaking, Boss Zhang took the money and looked at the villagers of Tanhua Village who were around, and then pointed at me and said, "Everyone, you have all seen it, he is a charlatan who came out of nowhere." ”

"He lied to you that there were ghosts on the mountain, and nine times out of ten he just wanted to make you dare not go up the mountain, and then he went to swallow such a treasure by himself."

"But don't worry, I won't fall for him."

"I hope you don't be fooled by him."

"A treasure of 1,000 yuan, where do you find such a cheap thing?"

"yes, yes, where are there ghosts on this mountain?" Someone chimed in.

"What Daoist Wang said is yes, how old does this young man look like, even if he has some ability, how can he be compared to Daoist Wang."

"It's a charlatan."

Hearing these discussions, Liu Shan's face suddenly became a little ugly and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I also said you were a charlatan."

When Wang Shouyi heard this, he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, otherwise let everyone be a witness." ”

"Poor Dao will go up the mountain with you tonight to see if there are any ghosts on the mountain."

"How?"

"Okay!" I squinted and smiled at Wang Shouyi.

Although I don't know what Wang Shouyi is planning, his proposal is exactly what I want to see.

After all, under the instigation of him and Boss Zhang, the villagers of Tanhua Village obviously believed them more than me.

It is useless to say more in this case.

And by now, I can almost confirm that the two of them are in a group, and although I don't know what their purpose was to lure the villagers of Tanhua Village up the mountain, it is certain that it will not be a good thing.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in Tanhua Village who disappeared after going up the mountain.

Perhaps, they also have something to do with the ghost who killed Xu Bo.
