Most of the truth that the third sister-in-law told was similar to what everyone had heard before. This was obviously the version that was widely known in the village.

But the third sister-in-law also told everyone about a small number of details that other people did not know or had concealed.

Now everything in this village can be said to be almost controlled by the village chief, because it is said that only the village chief can communicate with the mountain god, and his natural status is supernatural.

But the frightening thing is that since she married from outside the village, the village chief has not changed, not even his appearance.

When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn. They had already guessed that the village chief was abnormal.But listening to it now, could it be that from the past, the head of this village has been the same person for decades?

The third sister-in-law continued.Since Ah Ying's body appeared, those female ghosts also appeared in the village.At this time, the method of not being able to go out in the middle of the night was learned by the village chief after consulting the mountain god. As long as the village is in the evening, there will be a strange mist, and those female ghosts will appear in this mist. A house with lanterns can be safe.

As for those families who have already married brides, they don't have such lanterns. This seems to be a taboo of the village chief.Families who once forced their daughters to be sacrifices died violently not long after. As for those who have not done anything wrong, there is no problem, but they are also faintly rejected by the villagers.

Moreover, these red lanterns are not so simple. Anyone who touches them will start to be unlucky and be haunted by ghosts. The village chief himself can't explain what it is, and they all say it is the anger of the mountain god, so the villagers They have all developed the habit of not going out at night.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad they hadn't touched that red lantern.But Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu, who have actually touched it, never want to do it again.

"But you can still go out at night. Although the red lanterns are not good, there is a white lantern that is safe!" The third sister-in-law took a deep breath and said, "I saw with my own eyes one night that the village chief went out by himself with a white lantern. Lanterns, but that must only be in his own home..."

"The reason why I know these things is because I often go out in the middle of the night." The third sister-in-law said: "Probably Ah Ying is protecting me, so nothing happened to me..."

Of course, the third sister-in-law was unwilling to accept that her daughter died like that, so she wanted to investigate the curse in the village, but when she went out late at night, she bumped into the village chief several times.

"I don't know what he is going to do, but I saw that the village chief often sneaked towards the cave in the middle of the night, and often some villagers disappeared the next day... It's just that all the missing people in recent years It’s just that those who don’t have any relatives or friends, so they can’t cause any trouble in the village.” The third sister-in-law suddenly became excited, “If you really want to investigate, you must find out what he has done!”

Everyone nodded quickly. After the third sister-in-law went out, Ah Ying's ghost suddenly appeared in the room. Her cold eyes swept towards everyone, and her body passed through several people's bodies.

Several people only felt a deep chill, and then a picture of memory vaguely appeared in their minds.It's not like Gu Wuji who reads ghost memories every day or two. For most of the other people, this is the first time they have such an experience, and it feels extremely novel.

The scene from the No.1 perspective is impressive. It was red at first, and then it seemed that the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and what appeared in front of everyone was the interior scene of the cave that Gu Wuji and Qi Yunxiu had entered before.

This scene is weird and terrifying. In this dark cave, the walls are covered with various spells, and the most conspicuous one is a strange stone statue not far away.

The third sister-in-law told everyone before that this stone statue existed in the cave from the very beginning, because it resembled a human form, and the person who discovered it at the time had some means, so she felt that the stone statue was extraordinary, so she offered it up. Then the development of the village became better and better, and the stone statue was also considered by the villagers to be a mountain god.

Ah Ying's character is quite bold, she even got out of the sedan chair and rummaged around in the cave, trying to see if she could still escape.

Maybe it's luck, or maybe the village head and others don't pay enough attention to this matter, they don't believe that an ordinary girl can play tricks, there is not even a puppet in this cave, and Ah Ying is allowed to spin around in it No one came to stop it.

Not long after, she quickly found a book in the drawer, which contained creepy words, which listed the information of all the women in the village, and marked which one to choose as the most suitable sacrifice , Can you make the mountain god like it... and the handwriting on it is exactly the same as the village chief.

At least the village chief was a responsible person who cared about the villagers at that time. This incident can be said to be extremely shocking.

Realizing what she had found, Ah Ying staggered and fell to the ground in fear, and then suddenly found a sealed box in the corner.

Ah Ying didn't want to open it at first, but from this perspective, it can be seen that she hesitated for a while, and finally stretched out her trembling hand to open the box.Later, she found what she least wanted to see inside—the relics of the sacrificed brides, as well as their bones, all looked as if they had been killed by extremely cruel means.

She screamed in fright, and then the cave shook suddenly, and countless black hands suddenly stretched out around her.

Just when the monster was about to touch Ah Ying's body, several female ghosts dressed in red appeared around and helped her block the so-called mountain god's attack.

There was a shock in the hearts of the players, and they all knew that this must be the villain boss of this dungeon.

They wanted to watch it more carefully, but because it was just Ah Ying's memory, and when she was terrified, she chose to run away, her steps were staggering, and the picture was spinning around, making it impossible to observe carefully.

It's just that Ah Ying found that she couldn't get out of the cave no matter what, no matter how far she ran, she couldn't see the cave entrance, and even returned to this place strangely.

In this situation where the ghost hit the wall, an ominous aura also faintly approached her. In desperation, Ah Ying carved those words on the mountain wall at the last moment.

…………

……

After the memory is over, the third sister-in-law has gone far.There is no aura of Ah Ying in this house.

Everyone was silent, as if they understood what happened before.The ghosts of those brides must have been sealed by the village head, maybe they wanted to use them, or maybe they were just afraid of trouble, but Aying let them out and escaped successfully.

After that, the enraged mountain god dismembered Ah Ying and made her soul never return home.

This also caused these female ghosts to appear around the village. As for the mass graves, there are actually no corpses. It was just something that was tossed out after the village was haunted and tried to shake these female ghosts.

However, these female ghosts are not actually bad people, but they are feared by everyone in the village.

Even so, no one dares to ask them to negotiate with the female ghost. After all, the current situation is just their speculation. Who knows if the female ghost is in danger!

"It seems that if you want to know the truth about this dungeon, you have to start with the village chief." Gu Wuji thought for a while and said.

"But the village head and the mountain god seem to have made a deal, and it is more likely that they are no longer alive. If we act rashly, what will the village head do?" Xiao Cheng said quickly, with a tone of anxiety that could not be concealed.

Seeing that Xiao Cheng was extremely dissatisfied, Qi Yunxiu immediately sneered and said, "Since you say that, what do you know? Why do you disapprove? You won't hide anything, will you?"

The others were somewhat dissatisfied with Qi Yunxiu's attitude, but they obviously agreed with his words.

Xiao Cheng angrily scolded the pair of dogs and men, feeling that he was too excited for a while, but now he didn't sigh, and quickly said: "I just think that we should be more cautious, and it's not good to offend the village chief. See, we should find a way to get that white lantern, and then sneak a look at the village chief’s house at night, so we might be able to discover the mountain god’s weakness..."

Because what he said was so reasonable, everyone immediately agreed with it, and felt that it was much more reliable than arresting the village chief to deal with it now.

Xiao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that his thoughts turned quickly.In fact, the news he got here is... everything that happened in this village was due to the resentment of the woman who married the village chief's son, which polluted the consciousness of the mountain god, causing it to devour sacrifices from time to time.

However, by chance, the village chief established a certain cooperative relationship with the mountain god, and even benefited from it. He became a half-human, half-ghost physique, and was able to live to this day... and this incident was even considered by others to be the cause of the mountain god. The apparition made them fear the village chief even more.

As for the reason why the ghost marriage ceremony is used to cover up every time, it is also the idea of ​​the village chief, because such a ceremony can more anger the resentment of the ghost marriage woman, make the mountain god more terrifying, and can cover more people. range, so that the village chief can get more benefits, and one day he might be able to revive his son.

The only way to survive is to sell teammates on the day of the ceremony.

Xiao Cheng had long decided to hand over Xiao Meng to the village head as a sacrifice on that day, and then he would take the opportunity to escape from the village while the others were foolishly dealing with these two irresistible opponents.

Of course, it is not that simple to escape from the village, and props are still needed, and this prop is the white lantern.

As long as he gets the white lantern tonight, everything will be fine, so Xiao Chengcai must not let these people attack the village chief now, so as not to ruin his plan.

Although Xiao Cheng occasionally remembered that the boss of the high-level dungeon was willing to tell him all such important information, he was still very shocked.But in the end, he attributed it to his good luck, not to mention that the middle-level dungeon is like a child's play house to the people of the high-level dungeon.

Xiao Cheng is still inexplicably confident about his luck, after all he is such an excellent person.

Of course, if Gu Wuji heard about his experience at this time, he would find that all this is so familiar.After all, when he was on the instance of the ghost cruise ship, other players on the ship had similar experiences, and those who were cheated almost died in Huangquan.

"Then what should we do to distract the village chief?" One person frowned, "The village chief basically stays at home, we can't get around him... If only we could find a way to focus his attention."

"I have some ideas." Gu Wuji said lightly.

If this was the first day, others would definitely question Gu Wuji, wondering where he got his confidence.

But after experiencing all kinds of deeds just now, everyone's impression of Gu Wuji has completely changed. They feel that he is the kind of big boss who hides his secrets, unpredictable and mysterious.

As for Xiao Cheng, he is a kind leader. Although he is quite good, he always feels that he is not as powerful as Gu Wuji.

Therefore, after hearing Gu Wuji's words, everyone just looked over with admiring eyes, waiting for the boss to show his abilities.

-

In the afternoon, Gu Wuji started a fight with a middle-aged man in the liveliest place in the village, which aroused everyone's amazement.

In the end, the matter was too big and had to be sent to the village head for mediation.

The village head looked at Gu Wuji, who seemed to have nothing to do at first glance, and the middle-aged man with a beaten nose and swollen face and torn clothes, and the group of villagers who came to watch behind him, and fell silent for a while.

"What's going on here? What happened?"

"It's not this bastard! If you have nothing to do, come up and attack me!" Although the middle-aged man was very annoyed, his tone was a little weak, and he was obviously afraid of Gu Wuji. When he spoke, he pulled the wound and grinned in pain. .

"Tourist, what's the matter with you?" The village chief looked at Gu Wuji, his eyes were already threatening, "The people in our village entertained you well these few days, but you did something wrong to our simple villagers. Such a thing?"

As a result, the village chief had just finished speaking, and he received protests from many villagers, saying that it was definitely not a matter of doing nothing wrong, it was all the fault of the man in his prime.

Village head: "..." What's going on!Aren't you all from this village, why don't you help your fellow countrymen, but help this outsider to speak? !

Originally, the village chief just wanted to blackmail Gu Wuji with a few words, telling him to be more honest and wait for the ceremony to start, who would have thought that things would develop completely differently from what he had expected.

Gu Wuji's tone was very heavy, he whispered: "I just can't see it."

Gu Wuji really had such a mood in the first place, coupled with his acting skills, he seemed to have a distressing feeling. He was obviously not beaten well, but he was worse than the person who was beaten. It's miserable.It immediately aroused the sympathy of countless villagers, especially those aunts and uncles, who felt furious as if seeing their grandson being beaten.

After Gu Wuji's voice fell, a small figure poked her head out from behind Gu Wuji. It was a girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old, but her face was red and swollen, and her clothes were in tatters.

When the village chief saw this, his expression changed immediately, and he knew that this matter could not be solved by ordinary people.

The villagers also said in unison: "This Dazhu beats the children every day, we can't stand it! This time it is this little brother who kindly came out to help."

"Yeah, even if you lose the bet, how can you do anything to the child?"

The strong man called Da Zhu blushed, and said with some guilt: "Isn't this thing bad luck! Did I lose so much money? Didn't it just beat her, and didn't starve her to death! I But her father!"

The village chief was in a state of desperation for a while. Obviously, his original idea could not be used at all. He had heard about Dazhu's behavior for a long time, but he just didn't bother to take care of it. Who would have thought that this outsider would interfere today.

No one noticed that the other players had quietly disappeared at this time, and they had already entered the house directly when the village chief was not paying attention.

Gu Wuji stretched out his hand to touch the top of the little girl's hair, and looked at her comfortingly.

This was the sight he felt on the road when he came to this dungeon on the first day, and that sight also appeared on the second day.

At first, Gu Wuji just thought it was some ghost in the village, and wondered if he could play it.As a result, I only found out about the little girl after inquiring with other people just now.

Due to the relationship between those female ghosts and the backward concept, this village is very unfriendly to young women and young women.The little girl's mother was tricked into marrying her and then died of domestic violence.

But the middle-aged man beat and scolded his daughter frequently just because his wife was killed by a child.

As soon as Gu Wuji got there, he saw this poor girl, so of course he couldn't help fighting that man, but now it seems that everything has not deviated from his plan.

The village chief didn't notice what the other players did, nor did he notice Gu Wuji's strangeness.After all, Gu Wuji had been doing good deeds in the village a few days ago, and the village chief was also afraid at that time, but considering that Gu Wuji was helping the village after all, he didn't say anything.

Who knew that Gu Wuji's good deeds were going too far now, and he even got to this point.Even if the village head wants to deal with Gu Wuji casually, it is impossible for other villagers to agree. Now the ceremony is about to be held, and this ceremony is not trivial, and no troubles are allowed to happen!

Moreover, the village head is also a little jealous of Gu Wuji, feeling that this man is too tricky, and he is afraid that something will happen to him, so it's better to coax him temporarily.

Anyway, after the ceremony is over, these people will be at his disposal.A cold light flashed across the village head's eyes, and then he looked at Gu Wuji with kindness, "It seems that I have to thank you... I have known about this child for a long time, but I just don't want to disturb other people's housework I didn’t expect Dazhu to get worse. How about I ask Dazhu to apologize to you, and then let someone stare at him, how about not doing anything to the child again?”

Dazhu suddenly became furious, and he was so angry that he wanted to attack Gu Wuji immediately, but he immediately retracted his outstretched hand, and he could only shout there, "How can it be done!! I was the one who was beaten, and I actually wanted to I apologize to this little boy?"

The main reason is that Gu Wuji couldn't quarrel here because he was afraid of hitting someone with a problem, so he started a lot lighter. Otherwise, Dazhu would not have the guts to humiliate Gu Wuji here.

You must know that those young villagers who discriminated against and ignored them before are still in a coma at this time, and they will probably have psychological shadows when they wake up.

The village chief can't wait to beat up this big pillar, so why can't you be mediated honestly?For a while, the village head actually felt that he was relieved by doing nothing.

"I don't think I did anything wrong." Gu Wuji also looked like he wasn't afraid of causing trouble, "After all, if this kind of thing is ignored, the child might have been beaten to death!"

The other villagers were filled with righteous indignation when they heard this. Although they usually don't want to meddle in other people's affairs, they have already stepped forward this time, and they can no longer stand by and watch the excitement.

However, Dazhu is also a villager in the village after all, his brothers rushed over when they heard the news, and immediately scolded Gu Wuji over there, saying that they would never let their good brothers suffer.

At this time, Gu Wuji also pulled his ripped clothes, saying that they were brand-name clothes, and Da Zhu would definitely have to lose money... Of course, this was just talking nonsense for the sake of delaying time.

The two groups of people were forcibly fighting outside, and the scene became deadlocked. The village chief was so busy that he didn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of the inner room.

……

…………

"The lantern should be in the warehouse." Xiao Meng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

They were walking cautiously towards the warehouse of the village chief's house.The village head's residence is very grand, the yard is quite big, and it is much more gloomy than the outside, and the village head is most likely not a human being, so everyone's pressure has increased.

What's more, they don't know how long Gu Wuji can delay outside.

At this time, even a normal gust of cold wind can make those players who are extremely nervous almost scream out.

As for Qi Yunxiu, he followed inside with a cold face. Although the others had slightly changed their views on him, they did not dare to communicate with him and avoided the place where he was advancing.

The door of the warehouse is naturally locked. Fortunately, some of the players have lockpicking skills. They opened the lock not long after, and everyone entered it smoothly. They immediately saw a row of white lanterns hanging on the wall.

These lanterns still look weird, making people afraid to reach out for them for a while.Xiao Cheng couldn't hold back, he picked up one directly, and the others immediately picked up the lanterns as well.

The moment I got it, the system reminded me that it was a certain item.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly put away the lanterns. After all, if they were props, they could be put into the system space.

When the group was about to leave, a woman's exclamation suddenly came from outside. Seeing the wife of the village chief standing outside with her arms bandaged, everyone's expressions froze, and they didn't know how to deal with this possibility. The monster woman of the night.

The village chief's wife was only surprised for a moment, and then quickly opened the back door, "You guys leave here quickly, so that no one will find out."

Although the players were a little surprised, since the other party was helping them, they left immediately.

Presumably the village head's wife also has a deep resentment towards the village head, but she was forced to be an accomplice because of something.

Only Qi Yunxiu was about to go back and inform Gu Wuji. The village chief's wife took a deep look at him and said in a low voice, "You are Mr. Sun's friend...you tell him, be careful, that man...no, that beast , he has no humanity at all. On the day of the ceremony, you must pay attention."

Qi Yunxiu nodded, his expression relaxed a lot, mainly because he heard the other party say that he is Gu Wuji's friend... It seems that passers-by can see that he and Gu Wuji have a good relationship, which makes Qi Yunxiu very upset Happy.

…………

……

The quarrels in the outside world have not stopped now, and there is even a tendency to intensify.

It wasn't until Gu Wuji vaguely saw Qi Yunxiu's shadow, and realized that the matter was probably resolved, that he opened his mouth to show weakness, "It's not a problem to get entangled like this, so let's do it. As long as Da Zhu shows an attitude, I am willing to stop Go on, the matter of the clothes, after all, I have part of the reason for it."

When Dazhu saw that Gu Wuji was showing weakness, of course he was unwilling to let him go.

But at this time, there was a commotion from the outside world. A few young villagers appeared outside, but they all looked like they were beaten into human shapes. They seemed to want to complain, but when they saw Gu Wuji After seeing his face, he was so frightened that he flew away as if he saw a ghost.

other people:"……"

village head:"……"

Seeing this scene, the people on Dazhu's side were in a cold sweat. They knew how rascal these villagers were, and they were beaten like this... still looking like grandsons in front of Gu Wuji.

They knew in their hearts that this outsider must be difficult to deal with, and their attitude changed drastically. Da Zhu immediately said that he was too impulsive before...

In this way, the matter that seemed to be arguing for a few days was quickly resolved under the friendly attitude of the people on both sides.

As for the little girl, the village head asked a childless family in the village to take care of her first, and wait until the father of the child changed before he could bring the child back.

This matter was a result that the villagers were quite satisfied with, and everyone dispersed immediately, and many people even boasted that Gu Wuji is really a good young man.

When Gu Wuji went out the door, the little girl came over and thanked Gu Wuji with somewhat awkward words.

Gu Wuji touched the top of the opponent's hair again, and at the same time secretly used the healing ability to make the child feel better.

Before leaving, the little girl took Gu Wuji's hand and said again: "Big brother... you, beautiful, be careful, bride..."

She seemed to be very anxious, but she didn't know how to organize her words. After all, for a child, she knew too little, and she was just gesticulating in a hurry.

Gu Wuji was surprised, he knew that this girl could secretly look at him on the first day, she must have done such a thing before, plus children can see things that ordinary people can't see, could it be that she is Know something secret?

And the couple over there seemed to be unable to wait any longer, so they took the little girl and left, only Gu Wuji was thinking secretly behind him.

What the little girl hinted at just now seemed to be a ghost marriage held in this village. Could it be that she wanted him to be careful of a certain beautiful bride? ...But now he doesn't know the appearance of the other female ghosts except Ah Ying's shell, so it seems that he has to investigate.

Qi Yunxiu hurried forward and said to Gu Wuji, "Sun Shi, I have already done what you said."

Although Qi Yunxiu was still so cold when he spoke, his eyes faintly gave off a feeling of seeking praise.

If other players were here, they would probably be so shocked that they would suspect that there was something wrong with their eyes.
