Apprentice: I live in Xuanjie, from nine to five

"Then thank you, my lord..."

"It's not too late, let's go."

Ye Chen got up again, and followed the girl to continue walking.

After walking for a while, the girl suddenly turned around, looking very flustered.

"Young Master! Young Master!" The girl touched her waist anxiously, and said to Ye Chen in a tearful voice, "Young Master, did you see a jade gourd the size of a thumb on the ground..."

This thing seemed to be very important to the girl, seeing her in a hurry, Ye Chen immediately lowered his head to look for it.

After a while, he found a thumb-sized white jade gourd lying quietly in the middle of the road.

Very conspicuous.

"Young master, please help me find it..." the girl continued, looking very anxious.

It was clearly in front of her line of sight.Anyone who has eyes should see, but the girl still doesn't seem to see.

Ye Chen had to suspect that she was blind, so he picked it up from the ground and handed it to her.

"Such an important thing, don't lose it next time."

"To be honest, my lord, this jade gourd was given to me by an older brother from my neighbor..." the girl lowered her head and whispered.

Love brother love sister.

Ye Chen understood in an instant.

"Since you have a sweetheart, why don't you go down the mountain to find him?"

"He said he wanted to marry me since he was a child..." There was a trace of regret in the girl's eyes.

When I was young, I couldn't understand the language when playing with flowers, and she joked that she was the wife of a gentleman.

"What happened next?" Ye Chen asked.

"Later, when I was 15 years old, he came to my house with a jade gourd to propose marriage. He thought that this life would be perfect. On the second day of marriage, he went to help my adoptive father gather medicine, but was taken away by Taoist people... ..."

"I heard that they were arrested to mine spirit stones, and I never came back after that. I waited for a year and was bullied at my husband's house. My father couldn't bear it, so he took me away from the sad place..."

"Your life has been full of twists and turns." Ye Chen sighed.

"The little girl talks too much, which delays the son's schedule."

"It's okay, let's move on."

The two continued to walk forward. Unexpectedly, after walking for a long time, the girl turned around again and said to Ye Chen: "My lord, have you seen a gold hairpin, that is the dowry my father made for me..."

"You lost something again?" Ye Chen resisted his impatience and prepared to help her find it.

Unexpectedly, the golden hairpin was upright, lying under the girl's sight.

Didn't even see this, could it be that she is really blind!

But this time Ye Chen didn't bow his head to pick it up, but said lightly: "I haven't seen it, so why not come back and look for it again."

"No..." The girl lowered her head.

The gold hairpin was lying upright under her sight.

But she seemed as if she didn't see it, and said sadly: "Then let's continue on our way..."

When the girl turned around and continued to lead the way, Ye Chen immediately squatted down and picked up the hairpin on the ground, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Immediately afterwards, she took Ye Chen directly to a small path on the right, and after walking a few steps, a dark cave appeared in front of her eyes.

At this time, it was evening.

The sky gradually darkened, and the cave became darker and darker.

"This is the lair of monsters, sir, take care!" A strange smile suddenly appeared on the girl's face.

"This trip is really hard for you~" Ye Chen smiled, and took out the golden hairpin that the girl left behind from his bosom.

"You... didn't you say you didn't find it!" The girl stared in shock, and looked at the golden hairpin in Ye Chen's hand in disbelief, "Can you see it clearly?"

"Not only can I see clearly, I also know that from the very beginning when you stopped me from going up the mountain, you were setting up a trap."

"It is rumored that tigers will imitate human voices to lure people into the mountains, and the people they eat will turn into ghosts and help the tiger to confuse people."

"The more people believe in ghosts, the less their eyes will become blurred. You told me those stories in three parts, just to make me believe you step by step."

"And you left your belongings in a conspicuous place twice, just to test whether I can see clearly, and wait until my vision is blurred, then you can bring me into the cave..."

"Since you know everything, why do you still follow me..."

"This mountain is twisted and winding, and it has been enchanted with illusions. If I didn't pretend to believe you, how could you lead me into the demon's lair?"

"you……"

"There are no logical problems in the three stories you made up. Presumably the group of people who went up the mountain before were also confused by you."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he returned the golden hairpin to the girl.

"No, although I am what you call a ghost," the girl sneered and shook her head, "but the three stories I told you are not fabricated by me."

Her biological father was indeed a disciple of the Nanban Xie clan, who was killed by the same clan, and she was adopted by the pharmacist when she was young.

At the age of 15, the elder brother next door used jade gourds to propose marriage, but was arrested by Xuanmen the next day after they got married to mine spirit stones.

After being widowed for a year, the pharmacist couldn't bear to take her away, so she was killed passing by and became the puppet of a monster.

"Okay, your mission has been completed, you can die." As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, the girl panicked and ran towards the cave.

Ye Chen slapped the girl to the ground with one palm, and the girl turned into a wisp of black hair, which disappeared in an instant.

"It's really harmful!"

……

Ye Chen remained expressionless, and continued to walk into the cave.

There was a gust of wind in the cave, and it was pitch black.

Ye Chen held the fire in his hand, so he could see the general idea clearly.

Not long after he left, a strange scene appeared before his eyes.

Several peak masters and their disciples were circling around a spacious altar.

Their faces were pale and expressionless, like walking corpses, with their eyes closed and mouths still chanting.

What was even more creepy was that Ye Chen saw a black-robed man on the altar holding a bronze mirror in his hand.

What was even more surprising was that the man looked exactly like himself.

The man in black robe was facing the bronze mirror, and Ye Chen's voice came out: "Little Ruan, Xia Xia... hurry up..."

Fortunately, there was no response from the bronze mirror.

The man on the altar was not reconciled, and kept shouting to the mirror: "Xiao Ruan? Xia Xia? Come up quickly!"

"I have cracked the illusion in the mountains!"

The man on the altar waved his sleeves, and the peak master and his disciples who were circling around the altar echoed and said, "Yes, yes! Hurry up!"

"It's just the two of you!"

"Come on up!"

"What a waste of time!"

……

But there was still no response from the bronze mirror, Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that the two of them are quite clever.

The man on the altar noticed Ye Chen, he turned his head, jumped off the altar suddenly, and walked to Ye Chen's side with a whoosh.

"Not bad, you're here too." The man smiled at Ye Chen.

The black robe on his body suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and his otherwise healthy face suddenly turned into a lump of pulpy flesh, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Ye Chen carefully looked at the monster in front of him.
