The old man told another version of the story at the gunpoint of Fan Wu, and he told the two of them that the sixty or seventy people in the village here were not local, they were all from all over the country, and they had only been sent here a month ago.

It turned out that they didn't know each other at all, they were all new souls who were arrested in the month when the ghost gate was closed this year, and the organization that captured them all cast a very terrifying ghost curse on them, and then sent here to pretend to be villagers to assassinate passing tourists.

When they came, there were still people living normally here, but the organization forced them to kill all the villagers, and then captured all the ghosts of the villagers before they settled in the village.

When Fan Wu asked if he knew what the name of the organization was, the old man said that he didn't know, but the village woman next to him knew that the name of the organization was 'Xi', saying that she heard a hooded man escorting them on the way to the escort.

Hearing this, it turned out that 'Xi' did it again, and Fan Wu compared the situation in Duancheng with the content of the old man's speech, and seemed to understand some things a little.

What 'Xi' was doing in Duancheng at that time was to catch ghosts and then transport them to all parts of the world, Liu Xing is very likely to have disappeared because of this, the ghosts in the village were transported by 'Xi', and it is estimated that the ghosts of the villagers here will also be sent to other places for similar arrangements, that is to say, they will catch ghosts all over the country and even around the world, and then place them in other places to carry out harmful activities.

Of course, this is just speculation, but Fan Wu believes that it should not be far from the truth, but he can't understand what the purpose of 'Xi' is doing this, why is it so hard to move the people, if it is just to harm people, then just use the original ghost, why do you need to cross arrangements in different places?

Fan Wu and the fat man couldn't understand this at all, but the two ghosts in the house were just ordinary people who suffered from the cold, and they couldn't ask anything no matter how much they asked, and for a while, the people and ghosts in the house were silent.

Fan Gui happened to come back at this time, Fan Wu asked the two ghosts to go back to the room and wait, the three of them sat around to listen to the results of Fan Gui's investigation, and the situation he inquired about was basically the same as what the old man said, but after he forced a few ghosts who dared to attack him, he found that things were not as simple as they seemed.

According to the unlucky ghosts, after catching them, 'Nozomi' was not sent to various places randomly, but was assigned according to their birth dates, as if the ghosts in the same settlement had the same birth date in one aspect, and there were strict restrictions on the ratio of men to women.

Fan Gui had heard some about 'Xi' from his comrades when he was on an errand in the White Hall before, this mysterious organization has a long history, and I don't know when and who founded it, nor where it is, let alone who or how many people there are.

Anyway, no matter who you ask, including some thousand-year-old ghosts, you will hear two words when you open and close your mouth, although no one knows the details of it, but almost everyone has heard of its deeds to some extent.

There are many deeds of 'Xi', but there are two most important ones, one is that Jiang Ziya secretly protected him when he was a god, resisting the hundreds of millions of troops from foreign lands for seven days and seven nights, so that he had enough time to complete the god list and stabilize the Three Realms and Six Realms in one fell swoop.

The second is the last time the Three Realms were united, and the battle against the exotic demons took the opportunity to invade Hell and almost caused the defeat of the Three Realms.

In addition, 'Xi''s usual style of acting is also like this, both good and evil, and no one knows what their real purpose is or what position they stand on.

After hearing this, Fan Wu couldn't understand why such a high-level organization that could participate in the upper-level war, and even affect the pattern of the Three Realms, would do such a thing similar to that of human traffickers.

The three of them discussed for a long time, and their brains opened a lot, but there were no useful results, and Fan Gui also knew that 'Xi' had captured a group of ghosts when he was in Duancheng, and he also knew that Fan Wu's girlfriend was inside, so he suggested that no matter what 'Xi' was going to do, the three of them should find a way to find out about it.

On the one hand, you can continue to find Liu Xing's whereabouts, and on the other hand, you can take the opportunity to practice.

Of course, Fan Wu raised his feet in approval, and the fat man said that he didn't care, Fan Wu would go wherever he went.

After deciding down, the three of them continued to discuss how to deal with the ghosts here, although they were forced to kill a lot of people, and some of them have become evil ghosts who have taken the initiative to harm people like the big man, but they can't simply kill them all, speaking of which they are all poor people who were captured by 'Xi'.

The best way is to overtake them and let them live in the underworld, but according to the village woman, they are all under a vicious ghost curse, which will be triggered as long as they leave the resettlement site, and she has not seen the consequences of touching the ghost curse, but she has heard of one, which is very terrifying and weird.

It is said that the ghost who triggered the ghost spell at that time screamed in pain while forcibly tearing his soul body apart piece by piece, and then slowly spliced the pieces into a painting, which is equivalent to making a puzzle with his own hands.

The strange point is that the puzzle is as thin as a picture of paper, and the picture exists in the air, like a real painting being hung in the void, everyone can see a ghost crying wolf howling puzzle hanging in the air and fluttering in the wind, and I heard that it will always be there, year after year, the wind and rain, the snow and the sun, until the yellowing and old pieces wither.

Hearing such a strange ghost spell, the three of them felt cold, no wonder the ghosts here did not dare to venture out although they also wanted to regain their freedom.

I can't think of a way to do both, so I can only kill them all, because after all, I can't keep them here to continue to harm people, and it doesn't matter if the fat man and Fan Gui are here, it's just that Fan Wu is still a little unbearable.

In the end, Fan Gui comforted him and said: "Master Fan, this is also a helpless thing, after all, this is the world, of course, human life is the most important, killing them is a last resort, you don't need to feel guilty." ”

"I also understand, it's just to see that they are pitiful, didn't you say that as long as there is an independent space, you can isolate the ghost curse, the Soul Ring really can't work? Why don't you try it first?" Fan Wu still didn't give up, and asked Fan Gui again.

Even if his question had already been asked, Fan Gui didn't have the slightest impatience, "Master Fan, this is really not good, whether it is the soul ring or the Qiankun bag, including my ghost domain space, it is all based on the large space here, and it is not an independent space, so it is impossible to isolate such a high-level ghost spell, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless there's a way to move them straight to Hell, it's a separate space. ”

"Is hell an independent space, and are there any other independent spaces in the Three Realms?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few, for example, the various caves and blessed lands of the Immortal Family, the Elysium of the Buddhist Family, the realm of the Underworld Yan Jun, the prison cells of the Black and White Impermanence Palace, etc., are all independent spaces. ”

"Oh, that's quite a lot. Fan Wu didn't expect that there were so many unknowns outside the known world, plus the foreign land he dreamed of, it seemed that they were all waiting and seducing him to explore quickly.

Of course, this is all in the future, not to mention the outside world, there are still many secrets on my body that have not been solved, such as... Wait, Fan Wu seemed to have thought of something.

"Fangui, I have a way, but I have to try it first, you guys are waiting here. After saying that, Fan Wu walked into the room where the village woman was, talked to her secretly, put her in the black prison inside the token, and then went out for a circle 10 kilometers away from the village.

After coming back, he happily said to Fan Gui: "You and Xiucai go and tell all the ghosts, I can save them from leaving, but I have to lose my freedom for a while, see who is willing, those who are willing to gather together, and those who are unwilling will be killed." ”

The two of them immediately acted according to Fan Wu's request, and in the end, nearly fifty people were willing to leave, but they were all brought back by the fat man and concentrated at the door, while the remaining twenty or so people were all killed by the two of them cleanly.

Fan Wu took the old man in the house to the door and said to the ghosts: "I know that everyone has been captured by 'Xi' and forced you to harm people here, so I will give you a chance to live, but you will lose your freedom for a while, are you all willing?"

After stopping and looking around for a week without seeing the ghosts who regretted opposition, Fan Wucai continued: "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything, you just need to stay in an isolated place for a while, just take it as a small punishment for what you have done during this time, and if you don't regret it, just stand still and don't move." ”

After speaking, Fan Wu summoned the token, walked into the group of ghosts, kept chanting 'catch you' in his mouth, and patted the token in his hand on the shoulders of each ghost, one by one, and soon all the forty or fifty ghosts were received into the black prison.

After collecting it, the three of them returned to the house, he did not elaborate on the black prison, but said that he suddenly remembered that the token was connected to a place similar to an independent space, and he had just persuaded the village woman to try it, and sure enough, it could isolate the ghost curse, so he did it.

The fat man didn't ask much, but Fan Gui saw that the style of the token seemed to be different from the one he used when he was a ghost, so he asked about the origin of the token, and after listening to Fan Wu, he was even more glad that his wise choice was actually handed over by Jizo Bodhisattva, happy.

After dealing with the affairs of the village, the three of them wanted to leave the mountains and go back to the city immediately, since they decided to investigate the matter of 'Xi', they had to find their clues first, and there was no better place to inquire about the news than the city, so they decided to go to Antai City, the closest city to Mount Tai, after dawn.

Antai City, like Fan Wu's hometown Duancheng, is a famous tourist city, located 40 kilometers southwest of Mount Tai, the three of them left the mountain in the morning, took a taxi in a nearby town, and arrived at Antai City before noon.

After entering the city, first find a hotel to settle down, after all, night is the active time for ghosts, after dinner, the three of them found a strange phenomenon from the beginning of leaving the hotel, there are no ghosts in the city.

It's not that you can't see ghosts, but there are no ghosts in the whole city, and during the day, I thought it was just because the yang energy was too much, so I couldn't feel it, but I couldn't feel a trace of ghosts in the middle of the night, which was too abnormal.

Ghosts are pure yin things, as long as there are ghosts, the temperature will be a little lower than the surroundings, and the lights will be a little dim, these are some of the manifestations of ghosts, but if there are not multiple ghosts appearing in one place at the same time, except for a few extremely sensitive people, most ordinary people will not have a noticeable sense of this difference.

However, Fan Wu and the fat man are not ordinary people, let alone Fan Gui, who was born in a ghost, now the whole city is only where they are has ghost energy, and the other places that the three of them have been to are as clean as if they were in a Buddhist hall.

There are no ghosts in the whole city, so there is no way to find out any news, but instead of asking about 'Xi', the three of them now want to find out what is going on here.

The lonely yin is not born, the lonely yang is not long, it is impossible for a place to have no ghosts at all, it must have been cleaned up by someone recently, and then the new yin has not yet been formed, so it will cause the phenomenon that there are no ghosts in the whole city now.

"Master Fan, why don't you two go back to the hotel to rest first, and I'll go to the nearby towns to have a look, or contact some old comrades to see if they know what's going on. ”

"Okay, be careful, come back as soon as you have something. Fan Wu doesn't have a clue for the time being, so it's good to let Fan Gui investigate.

"Brother Wu, you go back first, and I'll try to see if I can find a way to find the land here and ask about the situation. ”

"You all have to be careful, I'll be waiting for you at the hotel. ”

After saying that, the fat man and the two went their separate ways, and Fan Wu returned to the hotel alone, and when he returned to the door of the hotel, he actually saw an acquaintance.

Hehe, Elder Wei, who I haven't seen for a long time, actually lives in the same hotel with the three of them, fate.
