Putting aside what the curse of Ban Wansu is, Song Siyuan is most concerned about the life and death of Ah Xi.

Regarding this, Ban Wan doesn't seem to be very sure: "The explanation of this kind of thing is very complicated, it belongs to the content of the ancient spell, and it requires the caster to have a strong grudge, and the more resentment the spell is, the more powerful it is. ”

"However, Ah Xi is not necessarily alive, once this kind of spell is placed, regardless of whether the caster is alive or not, it will affect the environment, until the spell is reduced or lifted by the wizard, and it is probably because of the spell that this place has gradually become desolate in the past few decades, and this situation is a human choice, and it is also witchcraft at work."

Mi Liyang glanced around and exhaled a long breath: "Let's go, since it's an ominous place, let's not stay for so long, I'll take you to see the corpses of those albino animals." ”

He then led the group back to the town and came to the town's leather school

Walking into the leather shop and pushing open the backyard door, Mi Liyang explained: "Nongshen Town is also a town, and the Mi family has a leather goods store here, which is specially used to collect leather goods from nearby hunters, and after processing, they are made into leather goods and then pulled to the county town to be sold, and hunters everywhere know here." ”

Entering the backyard of the leather shop, there are many hunted white-haired animals lying in the courtyard, some have been stripped of their skins, and some still have complete corpses.

Seeing that they were a little curious, Mi Liyang explained: "This is the animal that the hunter originally sold to the Mi family, knowing that we never sent the white-haired animals again, if the previous animals were not skinned, they would rot and stink, and we didn't plan to sell these peeled skins, and when we had time, we would send these skins into the mountains, and they would be returned to the mountain gods." ”

After that, Yue Guanchao and the others walked near the animal that had not yet been skinned, and he looked down at the animal under his feet, this was a fox that had been shot in the eye by an arrow, the arrow had been pulled out, and the blood had dried up around the eyes, forming ugly marks.

The size of this fox is as big as that of an ordinary fox, and its fur is especially snow-white, this kind of white is not ordinary white hair, and there is no trace of yellow, as if the body is translucent silver snowflakes, and the other eye that has not been shot shows a strange black and white, like a human eye.

He looked at other white-haired animals one after another, most of them had similar hunting wounds, and Mi Liyang really didn't lie to them.

Ban Wan lowered her head and touched the skins of these animals, her hands kept shaking in the position of her head, and her eyes suddenly became solemn: "Before these animals were hunted, they seemed to be looking for something!" ”

"Looking for something?" Yue Guanchao didn't expect that Ban Wan could perceive the animal's experience before it died, and her eyes widened unconsciously.

"Yes."

Ban Wan paused and continued to explain: "These albino animals have owners, they are like the Baijiang sturgeon, they are some ghost beasts, they were sent out to look for something, maybe they were suddenly discovered by hunters at this time and hunted back. ”

"If the sensing is correct, there are probably more albino animals in the future." The squad leader exhaled and said.

Yue Guanchao's eyes lit up: "They appeared near the Zheng family's house, could it be that they were looking for Ah Xi?" ”

"Possibly, we have to meet them as soon as possible, let's go, let's go back."

Yue Guanchao and they checked the animals, determined that the increase in white-haired animals was a fact, and returned to the Mi family's old house, and the Mi family had already cleaned up the side courtyard.

Entering the weeping flower gate of the side courtyard, Sun Qi had already driven their hind feet back: "How are you doing?" ”

Yue Guanchao touched his chin and said: "Through the words of Old Man Mi, we found that there was a ghost woman named Ah Xi in Nongshen Village before, she was framed by the villagers very miserably because of her ability, and finally disappeared in Shennongjia, after this person left, there was a plague in the burial village, and it has decayed to this day." ”

"You mean, this person could be Panju's biological mother?"

Sun Qi didn't hear Yue Guanchao mention this, and probably guessed her identity.

Song Siyuan nodded: "It's very likely, the time is right, but I don't know where this ghost woman named Ah Xi went, maybe, like Old Man Mi, was picked up by the mountain god." ”

She paused and continued to speculate: "If this is the guess, then Banshu is likely not to be abandoned, but Ah Xi was abandoned, she went out of Shennongjia and was taken in by the Zheng family decades ago, it is very likely that there is already Zheng Gan's flesh and blood, with the people in the village expelling him to Shennongjia, she has no way to return to that world, so she gave birth to Banshu in the real world, and then it is likely to be dead." ”

Xu Xiake pondered Song Siyuan's words and asked: "If this is the case, doesn't this mean that a ghost person with pure blood may not be able to enter that world?" ”

Song Siyuan shook her head: "Ah Xi has disappeared, either he died in Shennong's shelf, or he was picked up by the mountain god like Old Man Mi, and to put it more popularly, Ah Xi has returned to that ghost world." ”

"Old man Mi has been, Bai Huazi is an ominous symbol, and when he has suffered so much that he has become an adult, he will be taken back by the mountain god, although there are some mythological elements in this biography, is there also some truth hidden, such as the ghost people who were born outside, after they become adults, they will find a way to enter the ghost world, and after they disappear into Shennongjia, in the eyes of outsiders, it is equivalent to being taken back by the mountain god."

At this point, Song Siyuan's eyes were full of doubts: "If this is the case, is it that something happened to Ah Xi that he will be rejected by the ghost Fang Otherworld, and even with Ban Shu can only be born in Shennongjia, about this, unless we find Ah Xi, otherwise there is no way to know." ”

Xu Xiake pondered her words, and his eyes lit up: "At this point, I think of the legend of Taishan Boy." ”

The Taishan boy refers to the messenger boy under the seat of Grandma Taishan!

Women in the vicinity of Mount Tai, if there are perennial infertile, will go to the temple of Grandma Taishan to burn incense, after bowing devoutly, they will be blessed by Grandma Taishan, and the boy under the seat will be pointed to her.

After that, these women will dream of bears and find that they have bodies, and these children who have been born are called Taishan Tongzi.

After the boy was born, like a normal child, there was only one thing he couldn't do, and that was to climb Mount Tai.

They are the children of Grandma Taishan, as long as they climb Mount Tai, they will be discovered by Grandma Taishan, and directly leave him on Mount Tai, after that, this boy will gradually become a shell.

In the past, some women did not believe in evil, but wanted to climb Mount Tai with the child they begged for, and when they came down the mountain, the child really became stupid, as if his soul had been drained, and he died after a few years.

Everyone listened to the words of the Taoist priest, and it was obvious that the albinos of Taishan and Shennongjia seemed to be the same way, if the mountain god was compared to Taishan's grandmother, and the albino was compared to Taishan Tongzi, it was almost a different copy of the story.

Xu Xiake paused and explained: "Ah Xi, maybe I really returned to that world, but I don't know, later, didn't there be a plague in the burial village, it's hard to guarantee that it wasn't her people who came to seek revenge, do you think about it." ”

Yue Guanchao nodded: "Maybe, we can only speculate now, about this, only the Ghost Fang Sect can tell us that it was Ban Shu that he picked up in Shennongjia, he must know Ah Xi's whereabouts, I am afraid, Ah Xi was killed by the Ghost Fang Sect." ”

"At that time, this ghost old man was passable, back then, the first time he saw Banshu, he knew that their ghost Fang family was looking for the orthodox bloodline ghost Fang people, if he was right, when this ghost old man picked up Banshu, he probably saw Ah Xi."

"I think, let's meet with the Ghost Fang Sect as soon as possible, it's better to ask about this, and at the same time, we also have to exchange clues with them, just now, weren't the seniors of the class, these white-haired animals are looking for something, at least we understand part of the reason for the increase in albino animals."

Everyone listened to Yue Guanchao's words, and nodded their heads, right now, they already know the purpose of the white-haired animal, and they also know the origin of Nongshen Village and the story of Ah Xi, and the next step is also to go to Shennongjia.

"Brother Tan, when do you think we should leave?"

This time, they came as escorts, and Yue Qingshan stepped forward and pushed the nephew back a few steps to look at Tan Yanqiu.

"Second Brother Yue, I think that's all there is, it's just that Boss Hua is not easy to arrange, if there is no one around to protect her, it's not other dangers, just being so close to the Ghost Fang Sect is a bit mysterious."

Tan Yanqiu came out this time, and it was impossible to bring too many people, and Hua Yuxiu refused to follow them, so she could only find someone to distract and protect her.

Sun Qi said: "That's it, my lamp shadow has arrived, Ghost Fang Sect probably won't ask us to bring too many helpers, I'll leave them behind to protect the Mi family and Boss Hua, how about it?" It will be regarded as a reward for your awakening of Ban Wan. ”

This proposal is already the best result, the lamp shadow may not be particularly high, and he is very experienced in the rivers and lakes, and has a lot of Qimen Dunjia means, it is more than enough to protect the Mi family and Hua Yuxiu, just right, it can also make the Ghost Fang Sect feel at ease, so as not to make this old ghost suspicious.

"Okay, thank you very much, we'll leave early tomorrow."

Tan Yanqiu came this time, he came to repay his wishes, of course the matter of going to Shennongjia had to be discussed with the master's family, Old Man Mi originally wanted to ask Mi Liyang to take them, so as to act as a guide, Tan Yanqiu thought about the dangers along the way, but still didn't agree with the old man's plan, he was so old, he couldn't let Mi Liyang appear in any danger.

Everyone couldn't resist Old Man Mi's kindness, so they had to compromise a little, and only asked Mi Liyang to send them into Shennong Peak, and then they could return, which could be regarded as helping each other.
