I suspect that Li Hongbo was deceived by the fake mountain god.
If the village chief really couldn't accommodate a coffin, he could dispose of it secretly or bury it in Yinhua's coffin. Why throw it under the ancestral hall?
I turned to look at the village chief: "I'll take Li Hongbo in to have a look, so that he can give up his mind. Is that okay?"
The village chief nodded quickly: "Of course it's no problem, it's just..."
"It's just what, you are so old and immortal, are you afraid that I won't be able to explain to everyone after I find the child, right?" Li Hongbo immediately changed his face and said angrily to the village chief.
The village chief was actually very calm: "I have nothing to explain. I'm just worried that you will be harmful to Alian. I'm worried about her going in alone with you as a girl! I have to go with you."
"No, if you cause trouble inside, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us? I can't even trust the people in Yunjia Village!" Li Hongbo quickly refused.
I don’t know why he has such a big prejudice against Yunjiacun. If so, why did he marry Yinhua in the first place?
Could it be that just because Yinhua might have put a colored hat on him, he slandered the people of Yunjia Village like this?
I looked at him with serious eyes: "I am also from Yunjia Village! Since you can't trust us so much, why should I take you in to disturb the ancestors?"
Li Hongbo changed his words and said: "You are not from Yunjia Village, you were just raised by Yunjia Village. Besides, you should want to know where that child went more than me, so you won't harm me, and you are poisonous. I can’t harm you, it’s just right for us to go in together.”
It seems that Li Hongbo also knows a lot about me, but I don't know how much he knows about Bai Zimo's existence, and whether the fake mountain god will tell him everything.
The village chief was still uneasy and insisted that he must go in with us.
I don't know whether the village chief is really worried about me or has ulterior motives. When I was in a dilemma, a familiar voice came from behind: "Count me in, so everyone doesn't have to worry!"
I looked back and saw Wang Lexin standing there with a lollipop in his mouth and looking at me with a half-smile.
Didn't my adoptive father say he was waiting for me at the entrance of the village?
I couldn't help but ask: "Why are you here?"
He walked towards me quickly, took out his lollipop and smiled at me with his white teeth, "Classmate Yun Xinlian, we meet again! What a coincidence!"
What a coincidence.
Although he has never appeared in front of me since the last incident at Aya's house, his name has been mentioned by his adoptive father countless times.
I guess I came here specially to join in the fun today.
But with him here, he can convince the village chief and Li Hongbo.
So I said to the village chief and others: "This is Master Mu's disciple Wang Lexin, who is also my classmate. He is not from Yunjia Village, and he is a Taoist. Entering the ancestral hall with us can prevent disturbing the ancestors. What do you think?" ?”
Naturally, the villagers had no objections. After all, who knew whether the child was under the ancestral hall.
I thought the village chief would still insist on going, but when he saw Wang Lexin accompanying me, he no longer wanted to go with me.
In fact, I don't know Wang Lexin, but at this moment, having him here is really better than me and the village chief and others.
Now I don't know what the scene is under the ancestral hall, and I don't know if it's dangerous to go in. One more person means more company.
Li Hongbo was so happy that he actually said to the villagers he brought: "You go back to the village first. I can go in by myself. After I find the child, I will come back and thank everyone!"
Those people were originally here to support me. Seeing what the parties involved said, they picked up their belongings and left.
When the people in Yunjia Village saw that the troublemakers had left, they dispersed one after another. The village chief also told me not to be disrespectful to my ancestors, so as not to bring trouble to the village, so he sat aside and smoked.
I nodded heavily, pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, then pursed my lips towards Wang Lexin and said, "Let's go, Master Wang!"
Wang Lexin laughed and walked towards the ancestral hall. When he passed by me, he specifically leaned into my ear and said, "If you treat me better, I can tell you the secret about Bai Zimo!"
The moment Wang Lexin appeared, I guessed that he must know a lot of things. I was thinking about how to get words out of him, but he said it himself first. This guy really couldn't hold his breath. ah!
After he finished speaking, he took the lollipop and entered the ancestral hall.
Li Hongbo followed soon after, and I walked behind them. When we all entered, the door of the ancestral hall was closed again.
The two of them didn't seem to feel anything, and they continued walking into the lobby, but I felt panicked, something was not right.
After Li Hongbo entered the lobby, he looked around. He was probably shocked by the numerous memorial tablets of his ancestors inside. He murmured: "No wonder the mountain god said that this Yun Family Ancestral Hall is extraordinary. The ancestors' memorial tablets alone are better than our Li Family Ancestral Hall." There are several times more people, the people in this village are so hidden!"
I listened to his muttering and didn't bother to care. I asked Wang Lexin in a low voice: "Tell me, what do you know?"
"The mountain god he talks about is fake!" Wang Lexin said while holding a lollipop in his mouth and looking at Li Hongbo.
This man didn't look like a Taoist, but rather like a second-rate kid on the street. But what he just said made me feel that he could tell me some truth, so I didn't reject him: "I know the mountain god is fake. But what does this rockery god want to do?”
"Of course I want to cause trouble, for example, I want to cause chaos in the world or something!"
Isn’t this nonsense! You're kidding me, right?
I pointed to my collarbone: "Can you please explain? You don't want to learn about snake venom like Huang Hair!"
Wang Lexin laughed instead: "You really use this as a talisman. I really don't know what kind of poison that white snake gave you! Do you believe in him so much?"
I pointed at Li Hongbo's hands that were still bruised and ugly and said: "If you don't believe it, you can try it. He has already tested it just now. If his hands are not destroyed, it is considered good!"
"I won't hurt you. Besides, are you willing to make me look like a pig? Your dad is very optimistic about us. He also said that when we are old enough, we will finalize the marriage."
I couldn't help but feel angry when I saw Wang Lexin's playful smile.
It's a good thing he didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, I remembered what happened when they made me trapped in that dream for more than a month.
He couldn't help but speak louder: "Wang Lexin, why are you talking nonsense in front of my dad? Who promised to marry you?"
Li Hongbo had just searched the whole place at this time, and happened to hear my words, so he turned around and asked: "Are you two lovers?"
"What's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Wang Lexin took out the lollipop from his mouth and asked Li Hongbo with a glare.
Li Hongbo chuckled: "Of course I have no objection, you two are quite a match!"
Wang Lexin stuffed the lollipop back and looked at me in a blink of an eye, with a smile in his eyes: "Look, even he thinks so, and you still dislike me. It's really sad!"
I felt inexplicably upset when I saw his lollipop. I walked over and snatched the candy away and threw it directly into the ash furnace where paper money was burned. Then I looked at Li Hongbo and said, "Didn't you come in to look for the child? Why don't you come in now?" Are you anxious?"
"Are you angry out of embarrassment?" Wang Lexin actually leaned closer to me. The scent of shampoo hit my face, forcing me to take several steps back.
I really don’t know why he is so thick-skinned, why is he not afraid of offending Bai Zimo?
Li Hongbo looked at us from the side, shook his head and said: "The child was thrown under the ancestral hall by the village chief. He can't be found here. We have to go down."
Unexpectedly, Li Hongbo also knew that there was a universe under the ancestral hall. It seemed that the fake mountain god told him a lot.
I knew that the ban was lifted last night, those innocent souls were gone, and there should be nothing down there, so I said to him: "What do you say if you can't find the child under the ancestral hall?"
"No, the mountain god will not lie to me. She said the child is here, so it must be here!" Li Hongbo said, and began to find a way to the bottom of the ancestral hall.
I originally wanted to take a look, so I walked directly towards him, opened the secret passage from where Yun'er took me down before, and walked down.
This time it didn't feel as cold as before. Maybe the ghosts were gone, so the temperature was probably normal.
Wang Lexin used his flashlight to shine the light, and there was nothing unusual as we went down.
It wasn't until I saw the pool that Yun'er said had trapped Bai Zimo before that I felt a biting chill in my body.
When Li Hongbo saw the formation, he became nervous. He looked at us anxiously and said, "The mountain god said my child is here where there is water. It seems like this is it!"
But Wang Lexin seemed to have nothing to do with it: "Since it's here, you should look for it quickly and don't delay us from going to school!"
"Aren't you going to help?" Li Hongbo looked at us meaningfully and asked.
I was about to step forward, but Wang Lexin stopped in front of me and said to him: "We are not here to help you find the child. We don't want to see you fooling around outside. Xinlian and I have something to say. You can take care of the child yourself." Find it."
I looked at Wang Lexin in puzzlement: "He's already here, so help him look for it. The child is so pitiful. He disappeared without a trace after he was born!"
"Are you sure that the child is here? Didn't everyone in your village say that he was swept away by the shadow, but the rock god told him that the child was here? Do you think there is something wrong with this?"
Wang Lexin changed his previous careless demeanor and said softly to me.
I suddenly woke up. I had always been pushed by these things and had never seriously thought about the problems in between. I didn't expect that Wang Lexin saw the problems much more clearly than I did.
Regardless of whether the child is down there or not, Li Hongbo desperately wants to come down and look for her. This is a problem in itself.
I had thought about it a bit before, but not thought deeply about it.
Now think about it, if the child was really swept away by the rockery god, then she asked Li Hongbo to come down here to look for her. Did she want people to know whether the child was here or not?
What does the presence or absence of that child mean?
If Li Hongbo really found the child down here, what would it mean?
Could it be that the rockery god took away the child and sent it here to frame it to the village chief? Or is it that the village chief and the rockery god are on the same team, and they have colluded to send the children here?
What does it mean if the child is not found down here?
You can't just make fun of Li Hongbo as a fake mountain god, right?
My mind is full of questions. What role does a coffin play?
Also, the rockery god was clearly driven away by Bai Zimo, so why did he come back to encourage Li Hongbo?
I looked up at Wang Lexin and asked doubtfully, "You mean, someone deliberately brought us in? Looking for children is just an excuse?"
"That's right!"
Wang Lexin's short answer made me even more at a loss.
Why did you use my curiosity to lead me here?
I suddenly remembered what I heard my adoptive father say when he rejected that old voice last night. He didn’t want to take advantage of me.
Could someone be using me to deal with Bai Zimo?
