According to what Uncle Xu said before, Boss Zhang should have suddenly arrived at Tanhua Village, and then he started asking people from Tanhua Village to go up the mountain to look for the treasure.
It was also from that time that people in Tanhua Village began to disappear after going up the mountain.
In the past, people in Tanhua Village knew that there was a problem on the mountain, so they didn't dare to come up, so nothing happened.
and……
Obviously so many people have disappeared, but Boss Zhang has been telling people in Tanhua Village that he found the treasure and ran away. So how did he know?
In order to allow the villagers of Tanhua Village to go up the mountain with peace of mind, he even invited a Taoist priest who claimed to be from Maoshan.
I also felt something was wrong when I saw the Taoist priest.
Because the talisman used by the man who claimed to be from Maoshan was different from mine, and the words on it were also very sloppy, more like random scribblings.
It's just that I didn't think too much about it at the time.
Now that I think about it, I feel that there seems to be something wrong with the Taoist priest who claims to be from Maoshan.
In the past, whether it was Liu Yunsheng, Li Bowen, or even Mr. Ghost, who was from the corpse exorcism lineage, my first impression was that it was mysterious and unpredictable. As for the Taoist priest who claimed to be from Maoshan, if he didn't tell me, I would have thought he was just an ordinary person.
So, could it be that Boss Zhang and the Taoist priest colluded to get people from Tanhua Village to come here?
But what's the point of them doing this?
After thinking for a while, I sighed. This was just my guess and there was no evidence.
There may be only one way to know the truth, and that is the ghost in this house.
"ah!"
Suddenly there was another scream.
I followed the sound again.
However, as soon as I arrived, I saw a familiar figure.
It's Uncle Xu.
"Uncle Xu?"
Uncle Xu also saw me. He was holding a machete and looking around vigilantly.
He asked: "Why are you here?"
I said, "I just heard a scream and rushed over."
"Why are you here?"
Uncle Xu looked solemn and said: "There is a ghost here."
"Be careful."
"Did you see it?" I asked.
Uncle Xu nodded and said, "But I didn't see it very clearly. When I first chased after him, I saw a shadow but it disappeared quickly."
Uncle Xu's eyes suddenly fell on me.
"It disappeared from the direction you came from."
I was stunned for a moment and turned around subconsciously.
However, the next moment I felt a chill coming from behind. I quickly turned around and saw Uncle Xu slashing directly at me with a machete.
I was startled and quickly hid aside.
"Uncle Xu!"
I shouted while hiding.
Uncle Xu didn't seem to hear me. He chased me with his machete and kept shouting: "Give me back my wife."
"Give me back my wife!"
"It was you who killed my wife!"
Fortunately, it seemed that due to his age, Uncle Xu's movements were very slow, and I easily dodged his chops.
I stared at him, and then I noticed that Uncle Xu's eyes were already dark, as if he was controlled by something.
This made my heart sink slightly.
What is it that controls Uncle Xu?
After thinking about it for a moment, and dodging Uncle Xu's chop, I quickly took out a holding talisman from my body, and directly attached the talisman to Uncle Xu's body when he was slashing at me.
However, before I made any other move, a ball of black energy rushed out of Uncle Xu's body, and Uncle Xu's completely black eyes recovered at the same time.
I thought he was awake, so I tore off the amulet. The next moment, Uncle Xu's body fell straight to the ground, lifeless.
"What did you do?"
Before I had time to check, two people rushed out from the side.
I recognized them at a glance as two of the five people who went up the mountain with us.
Before I could say anything, they had already rushed to Uncle Xu's side, and after checking him, their faces became much uglier.
"Uncle Xu is dead."
"Did you kill Uncle Xu?"
They both stared at me at the same time.
One person stared at me and said, "I'm telling you, you, an outsider, can't be trusted. You must have killed Uncle Xu because of the treasure!"
"We heard a few screams just now. Did you kill everyone else too?"
"I..." I wanted to explain, but they had already put Uncle Xu's machete on my neck.
Another said: "Definitely."
"Maybe those people who disappeared after going up the mountain were his fault."
Hearing this, I frowned and said, "Since you thought that the people who came here before might be dead, why do you still dare to come up?"
The person who spoke first said coldly: "We were really not sure before. After Uncle Daniu really found the treasure and came down the mountain, we really thought that those people just found the treasure and ran away and didn't want to stay in a miserable place like our Tanhua Village."
"It seems now."
"You are the one who harmed everyone, right?"
Another person said again: "What nonsense are you talking to him? This murderer even killed Uncle Xu, we must not let him go!"
"Let's take him down the mountain quickly. This mountain will probably be peaceful. Then we can all come up to find the treasure and exchange money with that boss Zhang."
"I just came here yesterday." I said, "You can accuse me of killing Uncle Xu, but the others have nothing to do with me."
"Do we believe you when you say you came yesterday?"
"If we hadn't caught you by chance, you might have killed both of us."
"Don't forget he has an accomplice."
"We have to take him down the mountain quickly before his accomplices come looking for him."
At this time, I also saw that they now had a preconceived idea and really regarded me as a murderer.
Uncle Xu did indeed fall down in front of me when they came. In this case, I can say that I can't say anything.
I didn't say anything and just put the machete on my neck.
In this situation, I actually can no longer run away.
Although I can catch ghosts and even deal with zombies, two machetes were placed on my neck at the same time. I had no doubt that as long as I showed resistance, they would mercilessly leave a hole in my neck.
After thinking for a while, I said: "There is something weird in this old house."
"The reason I came here this time is actually to help you solve the problems here."
"If you don't believe it, you can look at the pockets of my clothes. There are many talismans in them."
"I am a Taoist priest."
"You are like this, and you are a Taoist?" When they heard what I said, they looked unbelieving, and they didn't even mean to go through my pockets.
"Boy, how old are you?"
"Do you really think we are fools?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow us down the mountain."
