Sure enough, people around him started to have problems too.
Li Fan was not sure about the situation here, but after thinking about it, he walked forward and said hello to those people as an excuse to ask for directions.
The farmers were surprised when they learned that Li Fan and others were inquiring about the villa built by the Huang family at the foot of the mountain.
"If you ask about that place, it's not difficult to find it, but that place is inaccessible."
"Why can't you go?"
"Of course...because it's haunted there!"
"Yes, there were several groups of people who asked for directions before, but they never came out after entering. There were also people who came out, but they all went crazy soon after."
"More and more people are saying that the place is evil, and the government is considering whether to erect a warning monument on this road!"
"Three of you, please don't send them to your door just because you are curious. It's better to come back quickly..."
Li Fan was speechless after hearing this, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at the evil spirit among the few people, and found that he also looked eager to dissuade him, and there was nothing unusual about him.
This person's true form has probably already been there, just like Huang Ying.
But unfortunately, even he himself didn't seem to know, and even said the same haunted words as others to dissuade a foreigner like himself.
"Did you even inherit your personality?"
After bidding farewell to the villagers, Li Ao stood on the roadside thoughtfully.
After all, he still couldn't get rid of the evil spirit, because the other party behaved just like ordinary people, and even his friends and relatives couldn't tell the truth from the lies.
Just by saying that the other party is a demon, who dares to believe it and who is willing to believe it?
"Little Marquis, let's go into the town quickly and find an inn to rest for a while. Maybe we can meet other people who want to enter there and find an opportunity to interrogate them."
Xue An suggested.
"Okay, we went inside this time, but found almost nothing. Let's see what other people say."
Exploring into the Strange Realm also depends on fate. Li Fan feels that although he has obtained some strange essences in it, his trip is not in vain, but there are still many mysteries that have not been solved, and there are still many rare treasures that have not been harvested. .
More importantly, Huang Hanlin is still there.
He needed more clues to assess the nature and harm of the whole thing, and to explain to Yang Ju when he returned.
When approaching the town, Xue An suddenly remembered something: "The people I eavesdropped on last night were urging strangers from afar to go there, wanting to ask for directions...
Will they send people to keep an eye on the intersection here, and if they find anything, they will come and intercept it? "
"Isn't that a coincidence? I was worried that they wouldn't come to me."
Li Chuan smiled faintly.
"I didn't think much of their gains before, but since we've been there and found nothing, it's better to take a look at their progress."
…
"Look, those three people seem to be coming from that way."
Xue An's worries were not wrong. Just as they entered the city, someone stood at the intersection and witnessed them coming from the direction of the col.
Judging from his appearance and temperament, he is very different from the villagers who have been engaged in labor and production all year round. Li Fan even carries a gorgeous sword on his waist openly. Although the clothes he wears are low-key, they are definitely extraordinary at first glance.
And when they went to the largest inn in the town, opened three rooms, and planned to settle down temporarily, the people who followed quietly were even more certain that these people had probably gone in!
So, not long after, a group of soldiers and horses in soap-coated hats and uniforms came directly to the door and stopped the three people in the lobby who were about to order some breakfast.
"Three of you, our adults are here to invite you."
Li Chuan said: "Okay, please lead the way."
Seeing that the other party was calm and prepared, the visitor was startled for a moment, but then he didn't say anything more and just led the way.
Soon after, they took the three people to a nearby residence.
This was the same courtyard that Xue An sneaked into last night. In the middle, there was a tall, white-faced man in brocade clothes, boxing slowly.
What he was practicing seemed to be the Eight-Duanjin exercise for health and fitness. His movements were not standard, but he did every step very seriously. He didn't stop until someone reported that Li Chuan and others were brought to him, and then he stopped and turned his head.
"Ahem... we finally met. Last night, one of the two of you sneaked into the villa and then went to the villa. However, you never thought that there would be someone else after you came out. This girl must have been trapped in there before and was trapped by you. You rescued it accidentally, right?" Please download the app Aiyue app for the latest content
"You actually know everything?"
Li Fan and Xue An were surprised.
"Hehehehe!" The white-faced man laughed, "Although this friend is very capable and comes and goes without a trace, our family and the children under our control are not vegetarians. How could we not know about it?"
Xue An's face turned red and white. Fortunately, he thought he had gone out without a trace last night, but it turned out that someone had already noticed him.
If the other party had malicious intentions, they would probably start fighting.
However, he believed that he had the strange power to protect his body, so he would not be defeated for a while, and he should be able to resist it for a while.
"I wonder who this father-in-law is from the Second East and West Factory."
Li Fan glanced at the writing on the other person's head and pretended not to know.
"Our family's original surname is Wang. The old name is no longer used. Eunuch Liu in the palace valued it and gave him the word "loyalty". Now he is the chief eunuch among the officials in the East Factory."
If anyone else had come here, they would have heard it in confusion, but Li Fan happened to know some of the deeds of Eunuch Liu. He was once one of the eunuchs Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies. He had a high position and was favored for a while, but he did not care at all. It is inferior to today's yellow silk.
But since he died of old age eighteen years ago, all his disciples and disciples have become "old ministers of the former dynasty" in the palace, and they have been left out in the cold.
Compared to Huang Bo and Huang Bo's disciples and grandsons, their power and status are definitely far inferior.
But then again, if Wang Zhong can serve in Dongchang, and even be as good as a general eunuch at the level of governor, he must be a real master with ability. No matter how others exclude and suppress him, they can't reduce his due. every cent.
"Your Excellency is of extraordinary caliber, and you must not be a rough and tumble man like this in the country. I don't know where he can get high or any important position?"
Wang Zhong asked Li Fan cautiously, trying to get the answer he wanted from him.
"If there is an opportunity, we can exchange the proceeds and share the investigation progress of this 'Skeleton Fantasy'."
"It's easy to say, I am Li Chuan, the son of Marquis Wu'an, and I am currently the governor of the town under the command of Silantai, the demon-suppressing army...
But this time, I am not here for the Demon Suppression Division, but on an errand. "
"On an errand?"
Wang Zhong was obviously taken aback and looked a little surprised.
Li Fan knew that he didn't believe it, so he took out the Yuxi Palace walking token on the spot and threw it to him for inspection.
