Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi originally thought that the white-bearded village chief, that bad old man, might just be hiding something.
What I didn't expect was that the clan elder in front of me actually said that the old temple priest of the Yama Temple was an old monster. Moreover, he was an old monster who was captured and killed by the white-bearded old man in the village, that bad old man. !
Moreover, the other clan elders did not object when they heard what the clan leader said. In fact, their expressions did not even change, which meant that all of them knew about this matter.
But what this bad old man told people like him was that the old Miao Zhu died in the Temple of the King of Hell, and he didn't even know the cause of death.
This is no longer a question of whether they are right or not, but that that bad old man probably told a big lie to people like himself!
At this moment, Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi felt as if their brains had been hit hard.
Lu Ziyi took a few deep breaths, calmed down her mood, and sorted out her thoughts. Then, she looked at the clan elder and said, "About that old monster, that is, the old temple pillar of the King of Hell Temple, can you please Tell us in detail?"
Although the clan elder was surprised as to why their expressions changed suddenly, after hearing Lu Ziyi's question, he still nodded and replied: "The Temple of the King of Hell has existed for a long time, probably. It's been hundreds of years, right? I can't remember clearly."
"I just remember that when I was young, I heard the old people in the village say that the incense in the Yama Temple was quite strong in the past."
"But, after all, it's the King of Hell. This kind of god...how to say it? Well, it's not easy for me to say anyway."
"In short, there are less and less incense. By the time this generation of old temples celebrate it, he will be the only one left in the Yama Temple, and no one usually goes to offer incense."
"Later, I don't know why, but the old temple clan somehow learned to tell people's fortunes quite accurately. The incense in the Yama Temple gradually became better again."
"Everyone thought it was strange at the time. After all, after all these years of getting along with each other, they never found that he had this ability! Moreover, this fortune-telling ability cannot be learned overnight. How could he suddenly learn it?"
"At this moment, the village chief led people and tied up the old Miao Zhu, and then gathered the villagers in the open space in front of their house."
"I remember very clearly that the old temple minister had his hands tied behind his back, and then he knelt on the ground with a rag stuffed in his mouth. There were injuries on his face and body. It looked like he had been tortured."
"After we gathered everyone together, the village chief told us that this old Miao Zhu was not a virtuous person at all, not even a human being!"
"It is a monster. What it calls fortune telling is actually absorbing people's essence. From the absorbed essence, it knows the person's past. That's why it can predict so accurately!"
"Otherwise, how could anyone suddenly learn to tell fortunes and be so accurate?"
"When we heard the news, we were all frightened. We were sucked out of our energy. Wouldn't that person be in bad luck? We all started scolding the old monster and said he would die a good death."
"The village chief was also unambiguous and asked his son to chop off the old monster's head on the spot!"
"But the strange thing is that after the old monster's head was chopped off, it should have revealed its original shape, but in the end, there was no change."
"At that time, someone felt strange and asked the village chief. Then the village chief told us that this old monster was a mandrill."
"What is a mandrill? It is a monster that a person turns into after death! Although this kind of monster looks exactly the same as before life, it feeds on the human spirit!"
"That's why this old monster didn't have this ability before, and he never sucked people's essence before. Because he was a human before, and it was during this time that he became a mandrill!"
"At that time, we all felt that what the village chief said was reasonable, so we didn't pursue it too much. Instead of letting the village chief find a few people, we just found a place to bury the old monster's body."
"As a result, not long after the old monster's body was buried, fog filled the woods outside the village, and our village became strange."
"Someone did mention it, right? The old monster and his fellow monsters, the Temple of the King of Hell, are their home base."
"We also sent people to the woods to find the Temple of the King of Hell to see if it was a nest of monsters. As a result, none of the people we sent came back alive."
"It wasn't until you told us that the white mist was emanating from the Temple of the King of Hell that we were convinced that all this was caused by the old monster's associates. It just wanted to avenge the old monster!"
Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi looked at each other again after listening to the clan elder's words. At this time, they were sure that the bad old man had lied to them again!
But why did he deceive people like himself over and over again?
What on earth is he trying to hide?
If this bad old man concealed the cause of Lao Miao Zhu’s death, is the whole story he told still true?
Could he have been lying to people like himself from beginning to end?
However, if the old Miao Zhu was beheaded by the son of that bad old man, then where did they get those fragments?
If the whole story was that bad old man lying to people like himself, then are those fragments really useful to the murderer behind the scenes?
Four words suddenly popped up in Lu Ziyi's mind: "Kill with a borrowed knife"!
If that bad old man was lying to people like himself from beginning to end, then the mirror he said was broken into pieces would most likely be of no use to the murderer behind the scenes!
He made up this story and all this just to deceive people like himself, and take these fragments to seek death from the murderer behind the scenes!
That's why, after he and his people left, he told his son that even if he and his people failed, nothing would happen to their family. He had a backup plan!
Because he never thought that people like him could succeed!
But why did that bad old man put people like himself to death?
It's only been a few days since you guys have been here? You have never offended him, so why bother to spend so much effort to trick people like yourself into dying?
These questions made Lu Ziyi's head spin.
In the past, Wang Yu had to think about these problems. But when it was her turn, she realized how harmful these problems were to her brain cells.
Now, more than ever before, she wants Wang Yu to come back soon!
When the clan elder saw that Lu Ziyi and Nangong Lingxi were both silent, he asked, "Do you have any more questions? If there are no questions, we will go quickly, collect the fragments, and give them to you. "
As a result, what he never expected was that Lu Ziyi shook her head, stopped him, and said: "No need for now, our family went to the woods to explore the situation. Maybe there is something else. ?”
"It's better to wait until he comes back, let's discuss it, formulate a complete plan, decide when to go find the man behind it, and then collect the fragments."
"Otherwise, if you collect the fragments in a hurry now, if he doesn't come back by the evening, wouldn't that be a trap for you?"
"Let's wait until he comes back. Don't worry!"
