The corpse driver laughed when he heard this and said, "There's no rush."
"It's still very early."
morning?
I looked up at the sky and saw that it had been dark for a long time.
But I didn't ask any more questions. I just sat next to Liu Shan with Zhang Mingyu, and then whispered: "It is true that we can't leave the village."
"There is something strange outside this village."
"This village also has its quirks."
Zhang Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "A ghost beating a wall?"
I shook my head.
"A ghost breaking into a wall is just an ordinary weird event. You know this better than me. With the abilities of the two of us, it is impossible for a ghost to break into a wall to trap us."
"You mean..." Zhang Mingyu said, looked around and made sure that the corpse exorcist was not paying attention to us before continuing: "Is this really a magic circle?"
I nodded and said, "It's possible."
"But I don't know much about the magic circle, so I have to leave it to you to confirm."
Hearing what I said, Zhang Mingyu looked solemn, then nodded and stood up, "I'll go outside and take a look."
After Zhang Mingyu went out, I looked at the corpse exorcist.
He was very calm from beginning to end.
Zhang Mingyu and I went out one after another, but he didn't react at all. When Liu Shan was resting aside, he was sitting on the ground, warming himself by the fire and rubbing the bell.
Everything seemed peaceful.
But it was this kind of calmness that made me feel very uneasy.
I am now strong enough to kill the city gods guarding Huangquan Road. In other words, all the city gods under the other side of Huangquan are no longer of concern to me. The only one who can make me fearful is the Lord of Taishan Prefecture behind Huangquan.
Besides him, what else can make me feel this way?
But could it be him?
I'm not sure.
I can only say it is possible.
After all, during this trip to Zhongdong Gu Village, I have offended the Lord of Taishan Prefecture to death. It is certainly not difficult for a being like him to know about my next trip to Badong Village. Please tell me on my way there.
It is naturally possible to cause some trouble.
Of course.
This is just speculation.
Just hope not.
If there really is the shadow of Mr. Taishan Mansion behind this, it will be a big trouble.
Not long after, Zhang Mingyu came back.
His face was a little solemn, and after sitting next to me, he whispered: "Junior brother, you are right."
"There are indeed traces of the magic circle here."
"But I can't tell what the specific magic circle is. I can only be sure of one thing..."
"What?" I asked.
He glanced at the corpse exorcist and said, "There is indeed a strong aura of corpse exorcism here."
"Are you sure?" I frowned.
Zhang Mingyu nodded seriously and said: "This place does have a lot to do with the corpse exorcism lineage."
"Maybe what he said is true."
My frown deepened.
It has the aura of magic circle.
It also has a very strong smell of killing corpses.
But is what he said really true?
It's not that I suffer from paranoia, but that I really can't believe that it was just a coincidence that such a weird thing happened to me. After all, the previous experience is still vivid in my mind.
It's all for a reason.
They are all related to me.
There are no such coincidences in the world.
Just as I was thinking, the corpse driver stood up from the ground, glanced at me and said, "Are you sure?"
I was stunned for a moment.
It seems he knows what we are talking about.
Seeing that we didn't answer, he smiled and said, "I know you are all capable people, but after entering here, it will be difficult to get out, even if you have great abilities."
"So that's the only way you said?" I looked at him.
He nodded and said: "Of course, you can also continue to see if there are other methods."
"But I'm only here for one night. I will leave here after tonight. Even if you want to leave by then, you won't have a chance unless you can wait until the second corpse exorcist comes."
I thought for a moment and asked, "What will we do if we go with you?"
He smiled and said, "It's not that difficult to die once."
"But don't worry, I won't let you die."
After saying that, he also walked out without looking at us again.
I watched his figure disappear before looking at Zhang Mingyu, "What do you think?"
"If it doesn't work, we will have to listen to him." Zhang Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "What he meant was to pretend to be dead."
"It's not hard to pretend to be dead."
"The difficult thing is that once we pretend to be dead, we won't know anything anymore. No one can tell where we will be when we wake up."
"He..." Zhang Mingyu glanced at the door, "We have never met him. Although he has no reason to harm us, we have no reason to believe him."
I nodded.
"That's what I mean too."
"But doing this is indeed taking a risk." I looked at him and Liu Shan, who was sleeping beside him, apologetically. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come to this place with me."
Zhang Mingyu glanced at me helplessly, "Junior brother, are you here again?"
I laughed awkwardly.
"Don't talk about this anymore."
"Then just wait."
"Instead of putting our lives in the hands of someone we don't know, we should take control of ourselves."
"And..." I looked around, "If a place like this can trap me, then there is no need for me to go any further. Death here is a good destination."
"What nonsense!" Liu Shan, who was asleep beside him, suddenly opened his eyes, "I don't want to die yet, my son is still waiting for me."
I couldn't laugh or cry: "What if I really can't get out?"
Liu Shan sighed.
"I just had a dream."
"What dream?" I asked.
Liu Shan thought for a moment and said, "Taoist Master Li told me in my dream."
"Sometimes, you can take the initiative."
"Active? What do you mean?" I was stunned for a moment.
I don't believe at all that he said this in a dream. Li Bowen must have told him in advance.
Liu Shan made a gesture of cutting his throat, and then said: "Strike first is the strongest."
The corner of my mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"Kill him?"
Liu Shan closed his mouth, tightened his clothes, and continued to huddle aside.
I looked at Zhang Mingyu.
Zhang Mingyu also looked a little strange.
It took him a while before he asked me hesitantly.
"Is it really possible that Master Li said this?"
"Uncle Li is not such a person, right?"
"You are really wrong." I looked at him, "That old bastard Li Bowen is really such a person."
"But..." I ignored Zhang Mingyu's surprised expression when he heard me scolding Li Bowen, and started to think.
"It's not like he said he couldn't give it a try."
"That corpse exorcist is inherently weird."
"What if I am killed by mistake?" Zhang Mingyu looked confused. It was obvious that this was a lot of pressure for him.
