After a day of exploration, nothing was found. Li Muhan speculated that the evil spirit was hiding and could hide his aura.
After hearing what Hua Wanzhao said about the strangeness of the exorcism formation, Pei Jitong asserted: "There is a ghost in this village."
This conclusion is not difficult to draw, but what is puzzling is why this person did this, and how much hatred and hatred this person has.
In the evening, I took the evening photos and meditated unintentionally.
She had the plot of the original work in her mind. As soon as the male protagonist and the others entered the village, they encountered an evil army controlled by Cui Shu. Therefore, the inner ghost must be the man named Cui Shu, but the original work did not explain the reason why he did this.
Why didn't I see such a big logic bug when I read the book?
"Have you discovered it?" Cheng Yingying outside suddenly said.
Hua Wanzhao asked subconsciously: "What?"
"What are the people in this village afraid of?"
"If you weren't afraid, you wouldn't have invited us here." Hua Wanzhao thought she was talking nonsense.
"Are you stupid because of your cultivation? Let me ask you, are you afraid that there is a monk in the transformation stage chasing you now, and he will not stop until he kills you, and will crush you to ashes?"
Hua Wanzhao didn't understand what she was talking about, so she put herself in her shoes and thought: "Afraid."
"Then think about another scenario. You are with another man behind your back. Are you afraid that things will get exposed?"
Hua Wanzhao was just about to say that she didn't have a Taoist companion, let alone find someone behind her back, when suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
She understood what Cheng Yingying meant!
"So, you think these villagers are in the second situation. They have done something that goes against their conscience and morals, and they did it knowing that it was wrong."
For example, everyone knows that stealing is wrong, but if a person is very hungry and may starve to death if he doesn't eat, he may still take the risk.
Cheng Yingying gave her a "You're not hopelessly stupid" look: "I guess it's more than that, it's just that ordinary bad behavior won't cause such a big panic."
If you follow this idea, you can make a logical guess.
Assuming that what the villagers did involved Cui Shu's interests, Cui Shu had every reason to retaliate against the villagers.
"How did you tell?" Hua Wanzhao really looked at Cheng Yingying in a different light now.
When she was at Yuexiu Peak, Cheng Yingying assigned all the tasks of taking care of Hua Wanzhao to Bai Lu. Although Hua Wanzhao didn't say anything, it left a bad impression.
Cheng Yingying snorted coldly: "You are lucky enough to have a brother who is a direct disciple of an elder. He can enter the inner sect as soon as he starts. You can see this if you have stayed in Foreign Affairs Peak for more than ten years."
Hua Wanzhao fell silent.
After Yi Jian Feng Sha, she had never suffered anything other than headaches from system tasks. But she had read three thousand online articles and knew that the competition among outer disciples was in some ways more cruel.
"……Feel sorry."
"Hmph, what do I want you to apologize for!"
Hua Wanzhao smiled silently: This man has quite a personality.
This was the second night after arriving in Anping Village, and it was still safe.
***
Early on the third day, Pei Jitong and Li Muhan took people out to explore the remaining areas as quickly as possible.
When Hua Wanzhao went out, she received a more warm greeting than yesterday.
The village also seemed more lively.
"Why is it so lively all of a sudden?" Hua Wanzhao wondered.
Before Hua Wanzhao could ask a villager to ask, a sharp-eyed village woman saw it and greeted her enthusiastically: "The immortal master is here! What a coincidence!"
"Why is it so lively today?" Hua Wanzhao asked.
"My son is working in the town. He has a day off today. He just came back from the town and brought a lot of good things!" The village woman said in a loud voice, wanting everyone to know that her son was back.
Hua Wan took care of the young man who was being greeted by the villagers not far away. He looked like he was only twenty, and his appearance was not outstanding. He had the typical dark brown skin of the villagers and ordinary facial features.
What is more eye-catching is his clothes: he wears a double-breasted long shirt with narrow sleeves, the placket and cuffs are embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns with gold thread, a piece of fine white jade is tied around his waist, and he wears a pair of white-soled black ancient boots.
Such an outfit is incompatible with the youthful temperament, making him look like a nouveau riche.
Ning Chenhao spoke at the right time: "I took advantage of the vacation to go home to visit my parents. I am really filial."
The village woman was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
"I see there are some middle-aged and old people left in the village. Could it be that all the young people have gone to town?" Mu Linxiao suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes, all the young and old girls in the village are in the town! Working in the town will definitely have a better future than working in this small mountain village. It's not decent to go out!"
The young man shouted: "Mother——"
The village woman's expression was unnatural for a moment, as if she knew she had said something wrong, and said stiffly: "Master Immortal, I'm going back first. Come to my house at noon. My son has brought back a lot of things!"
Ning Chenhao said: "We have already gone away from grain, so I won't bother you anymore.
"How can that be done? Thanks to the immortal masters, everyone can feel at ease. That's it!"
Before Ning Chenhao could refuse again, the village woman walked away.
Mu Lin smiled and touched his chin: "Do you think these people are a little too enthusiastic?"
Hua Wanzhao lowered her eyes: "I'd better eat the spiritual fruit in the storage bag."
Cheng Yingying also expressed that she was not interested in eating in such remote areas.
"Don't you find it strange?" Mu Lin said with a smile, "Even if it is to make a living, it is not necessary for all the young people in the village to go out to work, right? Although the town has the ability to absorb these labor forces, these young people may not always find satisfactory jobs.
Let's work?"
Shang Ziming was also confused: "Also, I always felt that the person who just called the village woman away was very deliberate."
Something weird!
This is what everyone is thinking now.
【Little Master, it’s up to you.】
【What's the meaning?】
[When they come back, you will be like this...]
As noon approached, people who went out to investigate began to come back one after another.
As the most cultivated among the few left behind, Shang Ziming reported their findings in the morning to Pei Jitong.
Pei Jitong said: "The places where the villagers disappeared mentioned by the village chief have been investigated, and nothing has been found."
"Not here either."
This is very strange. What kind of evil spirit can it leave no trace at all?
"Didn't the village woman invite us to her home?" Hua Wanzhao said suddenly.
"We've already been inedged, and those who haven't been inedged will be treated with spiritual fruits in the next few days."
"Then we have to tell others." Hua Wanzhao insisted.
After all, it was his young master who spoke, so Pei Jitong had no choice but to say: "In that case, would you please go with me, fellow Taoist Li, to accompany me?"
Hua Wanzhao: "I'll go too."
Li Muhan wondered why Pei Jitong was so polite to a Qi Refining disciple, but this was a matter for his sect, and Pei Jitong obviously didn't want to explain, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Although I didn't ask the location of the village woman's house before, the village is so big, so just look for the busiest house.
Pei Jitong politely explained that the cultivators had gone off grains and did not eat whole grains, and thanked the village women for their enthusiasm, which they understood.
After leaving the door and turning the corner, Hua Wanzhao pulled Pei Jitong into the shadow of the corner, and Li Muhan had to move over.
"You can try to lure the male owner out later, and I'll ask a few questions." Hua Wanzhao said.
Pei Jitong was stunned by the young master's request.
Li Muhan already knew that there was a problem in this village, and he was a little worried: "Will he answer honestly? What if he alerts the enemy..."
Hua Wanzhao struggled for a moment and assured: "Don't worry, I have a way."
Seeing Hua Wanzhao's insistence, Pei Jitong walked away with a grimace.
Li Muhan was surprised that the great disciple Pei Jitong would listen to a disciple in the Qi refining stage. What is the identity of this disciple?
