"I also accidentally saw you inquiring about twenty years ago, and found that the person you asked was the same person as the big hero back then, but I can't be sure if you are his friend or an opponent, so I will secretly follow you!"

After listening to Li Yi's story, Guo Jia did not respond immediately, after all, Li Yi's appearance was too coincidental, and it happened to be related to what his group investigated, which made Guo Jia have to be suspicious.

"What is the surname of the middle-aged couple who fled in your mouth?"

"This... I really don't remember..."

Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Li Yi hurriedly explained.

"What I said was true, I was only seven years old at the time, and if there was half a lie, I would have been..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guo Jia stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Brother Li, we believe in you, can you take me to your village to have a look?" Guo Jia said with a smile.

Li Yi wanted to speak and stopped, Guo Jia smiled when he saw this and asked, "Is there anything else going on with Brother Li?" ”

"Is the Witch Cult you want to deal with the same group of people who slaughtered the village back then?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm..."Guo Jia nodded slightly.

"That's... Will I still be able to meet that big hero? Li Yi's eyes were blazing, and his voice was a little trembling.

"He... It's dead, but it's sick and dead! Guo Jia said.

“... Okay, I'll take you there, and there's another thing for you, which was left by the great hero back then... I think you're a better fit than I am. ”

Guo Jia naturally did not object, and everyone set off immediately, and arrived at the village mentioned by Li Yi in the evening.

As the sun sets, the afterglow casts on the ruined village in front of you, dyeing it a faint golden yellow. Most of the houses in the village are dilapidated, and the ruins show signs of age. The breeze blows, bringing up puffs of dust that fill the air, making people frown.

Around the village, the fields have been barren, and the green crops of yesteryear are long gone, leaving only dry land and withered straw. In the distance, dilapidated houses look even more desolate in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The whole village is filled with a desolate and dilapidated atmosphere, as if time has stood still here, and one can't help but feel a trace of sadness and heaviness.

Everyone walked into the village under the leadership of Li Yi. The streets are lined with weeds, and the once clean and tidy stone road has long been covered with weeds, leaving only a narrow path. Occasionally, the wind blows and the grass rustles, as if telling the story of the village's past.

Soon, in the center of the village, an old ancestral hall stood quietly, the roof tiles were broken, revealing the wooden beams inside. The carvings on the door have long since been blurred, leaving only mottled marks. Walking into the ancestral hall, it was dark inside, with only a few rays of sunlight shining on the ground through the dilapidated windows, forming dappled light and shadow.

"Wait here for a while, and I'll go and come back." Saying that, Li Yi entered the ancestral hall and first bowed, and then detoured to the back of the spirit card and knocked on the ground.

Gan Ning looked at Guo Jia on the side, frowned and asked, "Old Guo, do you think this person is credible?" ”

"From my years of experience, this man should not be a hypocrite. And our people are scattered all around, and there is no other movement, just wait and see what happens. ”

After a while, Li Yi finally got up, and when he appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, he already had an extra package in his hand.

The package was opened in front of several people, revealing a crimson iron plaque inside.

"This is..."

Guo Hua didn't speak, but cast a puzzled look like Li Yi.

"This is what the big hero left me before leaving, I was too young back then, I was afraid that I would lose my body, so I buried it behind my Li family village ancestral hall, since you and the big hero are all the way, then I will teach you!"

As he spoke, he handed it directly to Guo Jia, who held it in his hand, and there was a faint feeling of burning heat, which couldn't help but make Guo Jia think of the droplet-shaped object that Zhuge Liang obtained back then.

'Could it be that this thing is divided into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?' ’

But he didn't have time to think about it, and he was not polite, he put the sign away, and asked Li Yi: "I don't know what Brother Li plans to do next?" ”

"Since Li witnessed the tragic death of his parents and the whole village, he has practiced martial arts diligently, waiting for the big hero to go to him after a blockbuster, but this is more than 20 years, and now he has received the news that he has died, and now Li is also quite confused..."

"In that case, how about joining us?"

Guo Jia's opening was obviously quite surprising to Li Yi and Gan Ning. However, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, but his face was happy, and he turned around and wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Guo Jia.

"Don't be too happy yet, I'll talk about our nature before you decide!"

"I want to hear about it!"

"If you join us, you will have no chance to get ahead, you can only hide in the shadows and cut off relations with the world, and our opponents are like poisonous snakes, and their methods are strange and cruel, they may die at any time, or even life is worse than death, are you willing to join?"

This time, Li Yi didn't hesitate too much.

"The great hero is dead, I have no idea of being born again, and I am Li Yi alone, what is there to fear of death?"

That night, the group rested in the village for a night, and when there were only Gan Ning and Guo Jia, Gan Ning frowned and asked: "Old Guo, you are usually very cautious by nature, why are you so reckless today?" And since he was invited to join, why didn't he just take the poison test pill for him? ”

"Old Gan, I know what you're worried about. What if he's sent by the Witch Gu Sect? ”

But have you thought about it, if this is the case, it proves that we have been exposed, even if Li Yi is killed by you, there will still be Zhang Yi and Wang Yi, rather than this, it is better to keep him by your side directly! Moreover... My instincts tell me that this Li Yi is trustworthy.

But be careful, don't mention anyone else in front of him! ”

"But it's too dangerous..."

"Don't worry, I know it, and we're going to be here for a long time, and we're going to need some help.

Although he got another object that seemed to be very useful, it was not of much help to Guo Jia at this stage.

Early in the morning of the second day, Guo Jia asked Li Yi again about the details of that time, but unfortunately Li Yi was only seven or eight years old at the time, and many details have long been forgotten in the past 20 years, and it seems that everything has returned to the previous situation again, and there is even an uncertain factor of Li Yi.

However, Guo Jia was not in a hurry, called everyone, and said: "Now that the clue has been broken, if Da Jiangdong is like looking for a needle in a haystack, Li Yi, you are a native of Jiangdong, what clues do you have?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Find out where the witch cult went twenty years ago and why they gathered so many people at that time."

Guo Jia was blunt...
