Jiang Yan and the man in the black hat took advantage of the opportunity when Li Gui was forced to retreat, and tried their best to rush out of the bamboo forest.
After coming out, the two of them were panting and breathing in fresh air.
It was a critical moment just now. If Jiang Yan hadn't activated the second-level ghost in time, they might have been trapped and died in the bamboo forest.
After walking out of the bamboo forest, the two looked around and were shocked to see that there was still a bamboo forest around them.
"What's going on? Are we still among the ghosts?" The man in the black hat panicked.
But Jiang Yan quickly discovered the problem and explained:
"No, we have escaped. This is the real bamboo forest."
After hearing this, the man in the black hat looked around carefully. Sure enough, this bamboo forest was different from the previous ones in Guixiao. The bamboos were green bamboos, not the spotted bamboos in Guixiao.
And looking around, you can see the scenery outside in front of the bamboo forest, which shows that this bamboo forest exists in reality.
But looking back, I saw that the depths of the bamboo forest were dark, and there were countless spotted bamboos swaying quietly in the darkness.
"Gui Xie is right behind us." Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then hurry up and get out of this ghost place." The man in the black hat didn't want to get close to the ghost place anymore, so he hurriedly urged.
"Let's go."
The two agreed and walked faster towards the light of the bamboo forest.
A few minutes later, the two of them actually walked out of the bamboo forest and saw the open external scenery, but their hearts were still heavy.
"Damn it, I still can't get out." The man in the black hat cursed angrily.
Jiang Yan said nothing and looked at the scenery in front of him quietly.
In front of them was Gongyue Village.
The bamboo forest where they are located should be the hillside outside the village. From this position, the layout of the village can be clearly seen.
The village chief's home and Zhang Tiantian's home can be seen from this location.
In other words, they tried their best to escape from Guixi, but in the end they still couldn't escape from the village.
This is a huge blow to them, especially the men in black hats.
He almost died in the bamboo forest, and now the ghost's resurgence has intensified. He has paid such a high price, but it turned out to be in vain. How can he be willing to do this?
Jiang Yan on the side was also a little disappointed, but he quickly accepted the status quo:
"The way out of the village is unworkable. There is definitely something wrong with this village. It's not just the ghosts in the bamboo forest that can't escape us. Now we can only solve the problems in the village first."
The man in the black hat understood what he meant. The reason why they couldn't escape was not because of the ghosts in the bamboo forest, because after escaping from the ghosts, they were still in the village.
Therefore, there must be other supernatural forces that cause the village to become a closed area.
But he didn't have much confidence in Jiang Yan's words:
"Solving the village's problems is easy to say. So far we have encountered two ghosts, the disguised ghost and the bamboo forest ghost. Their level of terror is beyond our ability to offend. Who knows if there are more terrifying existences in the village. Our capabilities simply cannot solve the problem and we must seek support.”
After saying that, the man in the black hat took out a black satellite phone and prepared to contact the headquarters.
He originally wanted to take a rest in this village, but he didn't expect to be involved in a supernatural incident, which made the man in the black hat very depressed.
After waiting for a long time, the satellite phone kept busy tone after dialing out.
"Damn it, I can't even get through the ghost master's special phone. The supernatural isolation in this village is too strong." The man in the black hat cursed, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness.
"Since there is no foreign aid, we can only deal with this supernatural incident ourselves." Jiang Yan decided.
"No, the ghosts in this village are too scary and we can't handle them." The man in the black hat shook his head subconsciously.
However, Jiang Yan did not agree with his view:
"We already know the rules of pretending to be ghosts. Bamboo forest ghosts can't be encountered unless they leave the village. Now the threat from the two is close to zero, so there's nothing to worry about. Besides, do you have any other choice?"
As soon as these words came out, the man in the black hat had a lump in his throat. Jiang Yan was right, he had no choice.
Problems cannot be solved by escaping, only by facing them head on can there be hope.
He sighed and decided to follow Jiang Yan's choice.
After reaching an agreement, the two began to explore the village while the villagers were worshiping their ancestors.
The place where they are now is on the outskirts of the village. There are many abandoned yellow mud houses. This kind of yellow mud tile houses are at least a product of the 1980s. They are now abandoned and the surroundings are deserted.
Soon, the two discovered a large yellow mud house, which used to be the residence of the village chief or landlord.
The two of them walked in without hesitation, intending to see if there was any information on the history of the village such as village chronicles.
But unfortunately, there are only pots and pans and other furniture in the yellow mud room, and there is nothing with writing on it.
"It seems that this landowner is still illiterate. Let's go, there is nothing here." The man in the black hat sneered.
Jiang Yan was also a little helpless. This was not the result he wanted.
But he still refused to give up and continued to explore the house. After a while, he stopped in a side courtyard.
The man in the black hat was a little puzzled, so he also entered the side courtyard and took a closer look. It turned out that Jiang Yan was looking at an ancient well in a daze.
"Is there anything special about this well?" he asked puzzled.
"look by youself."
The man in the black hat immediately moved forward and looked down into the well. He soon noticed something unusual.
Generally speaking, the water in the well should reflect the blue sky and white clouds, but the water in this well was pitch black.
Well water belongs to groundwater and is connected to the water system of the entire village.
Thinking of this, the man in the black hat said in horror:
"There is a problem with the water in Gongyue Village."
Jiang Yan nodded:
"Fortunately, we haven't eaten food from this village before, otherwise we don't know what the consequences would be."
The man in the black hat was frightened after hearing this, but this also shows that there is indeed a problem in this village.
"I originally thought this was an ordinary village, but now that I think about it, it's not like this. The villagers are all drinking this strange well water, and they don't know what unknown changes have happened to their bodies." Jiang Yan said worriedly.
"You are right, and the man with the portrait is also right. I really regret not asking him more questions at that time. Of course, I regret entering this village even more. In fact, when we first saw the suspension bridge, we should have thought that there was something strange in the village. After all, a The village's external communication cannot be achieved by just one suspension bridge." The man in the black hat regretted.
Jiang Yan understood what he meant and had a guess in his heart:
"Indeed, a broken suspension bridge is not enough to support the village's external economy, unless the village is isolated from the world and exists like a peach blossom garden."
"Peach Blossom Land? Stop joking." The man in the black hat sneered after hearing this. The place he tried so hard to escape from was actually called a Peach Blossom Land by Jiang Yan. It was really ironic.
"I'm serious. When the world's supernatural events become uncontrollable, building a closed peach blossom garden may be a way out." Jiang Yan explained.
"Sorry, I don't have such a long-term vision. I just want to escape from this village now, and there are ghosts in this village. It's not a paradise at all." The man in the black hat sneered.
"That's right, then let's move on."
After figuring out the problem with the well water, the two moved on.
But after exploring many yellow mud houses, they found no useful information. It seemed that everything here had been deliberately cleaned.
"There's still no progress. Do you really want to sneak into the village chief's home?" The man in the black hat was a little disappointed.
Jiang Yan was also a little depressed. Going directly to search the village chief's house was the fastest way, but he always felt that it was inappropriate.
Because he saw a black figure when he passed the village chief's house last time. If he entered the village chief's house rashly, he might be attacked by the black figure.
"There are several yellow mud houses over there. If you still don't find them after exploring, go to the village chief's house." Jiang Yan said helplessly.
After reaching an agreement, the two continued to move forward. As they passed a yellow mud room, they suddenly heard the faint sound of a TV.
"Is there anyone?"
The two looked at each other and then cautiously approached the yellow mud room.
This yellow mud house is very dilapidated, with half of the walls collapsed and only rotten wooden frames remaining on the windows.
They looked through the window and found that an old black and white TV in the center of the living room was playing the news broadcast...
