"Go ahead."

Su Ji: "When and how did you know Hei San? What did he tell you, and when did he leave? Also, where did he go? Tell you everything you know."

Facing the barrage of questions from the people in front of him, the one-legged old man hesitated, and finally said slowly: "Actually... I haven't known him for a long time. What I said just now is not more than a month is indeed true."

"Good guy." Shao Feng couldn't help but click his tongue lightly, "This guy really didn't tell the truth from the beginning to the end."

Zhou Wen folded his arms and said, "Fortunately, everyone is not stupid, and they didn't fully believe what he said."

"So you told us that you knew him for four or fifty years on purpose?" Su Ji looked at him fixedly, "Because only in this way can this bronze bell be endowed with the value of 'very precious to you', so that it can Qualifies as payment for repairing the left leg, right?"

The one-legged old man nodded slightly and did not deny it.

Su Ji: "Go ahead."

"Not only that, Black Three and I are actually not friends."

The lie had been exposed, the one-legged old man seemed to be breaking the pot, and directly showed his cards: "We are at best two friends, and we can count on one hand the things we have said. And this bronze bell was not given to me by him." , but he accidentally dropped it and I picked it up."

"Picked it up?" Wu Guang didn't seem to believe it, and said lightly, "What a coincidence? You just picked up the thing he left behind?"

"It's true! I really picked it up!" Worried about being suspected again, the one-legged old man hastily explained.

Shao Feng frowned, "Why don't you return the things you picked up? You even kept them privately, don't you know what it means to pick up money?"

"I didn't stay here on purpose." The one-legged old man retorted softly, "After he dropped the bell, I also tried to look for him, but I couldn't find him."

As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower: "I saw that the bell has a unique style and is made of copper. I thought it should be worth some money, so I decided to keep it."

After finishing speaking, he quickly added as if trying to clear up the relationship: "But I guess this thing shouldn't be important to him, or he would have come back to look for it a long time ago."

Indeed, if it's something really important, it's impossible for Black Three not to come and look for it.

The reason why he didn't turn around to look for it meant that he probably left it on purpose.

As for the reason... just based on the current clues, no correct conclusion can be drawn.

Thinking about it, Su Ji then asked, "Where was the last time you met?"

The one-legged old man thought for a while and said, "It seems to be outside Fengdu City. When I saw him, I thought he was thinking about it."

"Think about it?"

"I just thought he was going to the city to reincarnate."

The one-legged old man was thoughtful, "The first time I saw him was outside the Wild Ghost Village. At that time, I thought it was strange that this old boy had all the hands and feet, and he didn't lack anything in his soul. Why didn't he go to the city? He even ran to this place."

Complete hands and feet, complete soul...

Su Ji's thoughts moved slightly.

From the beginning to the end, they have never seen the true face of the black three priests.Whether it is Liu Pozi at the beginning of the story, Er Zhuang who was possessed for a short time later, or the old Taoist priest who was possessed in the second story.All the black men he saw were wearing someone else's body.The only time it's barely real is the black and red mist that manifests as he flees.

Thinking about it, he asked, "What does he look like?"

The one-legged old man pursed his chapped lips, "It's nothing special, he's wearing a tattered Taoist robe, his hair is gray, he's not very tall and thin. He looks older than me, at least in his eighties .Although he has a smile on his face, he always looks gloomy and feels weird."

Su Ji: "Just these features? Are there any more specific ones?"

The one-legged old man thought for a while, then shook his head, "That's all, nothing more."

"What you said is too common." On the side, Shao Feng couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "It feels like I said nothing."

"You kid said that." The one-legged old man was a little annoyed, "I don't know that guy very well, and it's been so long, so it's pretty good to be able to remember this!"

"Don't worry about it, he just said it casually." Su Ji said: "According to what you mean, did the three black priests enter Fengdu City later?"

"I guess so. Anyway, the last time I saw him was outside Fengdu City. He dropped a bronze bell and I picked it up. I haven't seen him since. Since he didn't come to Wild Ghost Village, I guess He has entered the city, after all, he has already arrived here, he can't go back, right?"

After listening to what the one-legged old man said, the players fell into deep thought.

Indeed, we have come here, and we can only move forward but not backward.That being the case, entering the city is the only option.

Cheng Xuyuan lowered his eyebrows and pondered: "If this is the case, then do we have to go to the city next?"

[Congratulations to the player for successfully triggering the plot mission - "Return to the Sun".The task is limited to 24 hours, players please make persistent efforts! 】

The sudden game notification sound made the players startled.

Is it so sudden?

Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "After waiting for so long, the story mission is finally out."

Xu Hui nodded, "I just didn't expect it to appear in this form."

Shao Feng looked at the task panel, "However... this plot task is called "Returning the Sun", does this mean that we have to reincarnate?"

Su Ji: "There is a possibility but not absolute."

Shao Feng was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Su Ji said lightly: "If this 'returning to the sun' is really just for us to reincarnate, the topic of reincarnation we discussed on the Santu River earlier should have triggered the task. But it didn't."

"It wasn't until just now that we asked the one-legged old man the whereabouts of the three priests, which triggered the plot mission."

Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan pushed his glasses, "So you mean that this task called 'Returning the Yang' is actually related to the Black Three Taoists? We need to find the Black Three Taoists while returning the Yang?"

Su Ji: "That's right."

Zhou Wen frowned, "But according to what the one-legged old man said, the three black Taoist priests had already entered Fengdu City a month ago. We don't know how big the city is. If we want to find it within 24 hours It's not easy for him."

"Although it's not easy, it's not hopeless." Su Ji's voice gradually sank, "I'm afraid that he is no longer in Fengdu City. If that's the case, then it's called looking for a needle in a haystack."

"What does it mean that he is not in Fengdu City?" Zhou Wen was puzzled: "Where would he be if he is not in Fengdu City?"

Su Ji raised his index finger and pointed to the sky: "Yangjian."

...Yangjian?

The players froze when they heard that.For a moment, some key information seemed to flash in my mind, but like a slippery fish, I didn't catch it right away.

After a while, Cheng Xuyuan said, "You mean he might have escaped to the world?"

Su Ji nodded, "I can't rule out the possibility."

"Do you still remember the first story? A hundred years ago, when the water ghost boss was still alive, Hei San came to Linghe Village and set up a formation in the village. According to him, Hei San was an old man at that time. Not long after the formation was set up, Black Three disappeared."

"Nearly 30 years later, the boss of the water ghost passed away, and only then did he discover the truth of the Hedi Formation. After that, more than [-] years later, Linghe Village suffered a famine, and Hei San, wearing the body of Mrs. Liu, came In the village, the activity of "sacrificing to the river god" began to be carried out, and the villagers sacrificed pure Yin women to nourish the formation."

"It has been more than 60 years since Hei San went missing after setting up the formation, and then he returned to Linghe Village with Mrs. Liu's body on his back."

"If the octogenarian old man that the water ghost boss saw at the beginning was the real body of Hei San, then what would it mean for him to appear in the body of Mrs. Liu later?"

"he died."

Cheng Xuyuan said: "After leaving Linghe Village, Hei San died, and later escaped from the underworld by some means, and returned to Linghe Village with the help of Mrs. Liu's body to continue to complete his grand plan."

"That's right." Su Ji said, "I just figured out the real connection between these three stories."

Shao Feng was a little confused, "What's the connection?"

"Timeline." Su Ji glanced at him and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the third story we are in now is the starting point of everything, the first story is in the middle, and the second story is in the end. The sequence of events is 3, 1, 2."

"Just like what Old Cheng said just now, Hei San left Linghe Village after setting up the formation. Although I don't know what happened to him after that, he did die later. After his death, he came to the underworld and met the one-legged The old man and dropped the bronze bell."

"Although he died, he still wanted to return to the human world. So he tried his best to escape from the underworld, and took away the body of Mrs. Liu to return to the sun. We all know the story afterwards."

Hearing this, the players suddenly realized.

Zhou Wen: "So, these three stories didn't happen in the normal order? But flashbacks and interludes?"

As soon as the voice fell, the game prompt sounded just beside his ears——

[Didi!Congratulations to the player "Su Ji" for successfully unlocking the plot of "Yellow Liang", the current plot exploration rate is 50%, please continue to work hard! 】

Looking at the task panel, Xu Hui was thoughtful, "We have been hearing about reincarnation since we came to the underworld. Looking back now, it turns out that everything is the game giving us hints."

While feeling emotional, she suddenly thought of an important thing: "According to what the one-legged old man said, it has already been a month, and the black three priests are still eager to be positive, I am afraid that they will not be in the underworld by now."

Su Ji nodded, "This is what I am worried about now."

"If he is in Yangjian now, our task should be to find the black three priests and bring him back to the underworld within 24 hours after returning to Yang. Conversely, if he is still in Fengdu City, our task should be to prevent him from returning to Yang. .”

Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan frowned, "But if it's the latter, then the time limit for this plot mission..."

Su Ji: "If it's the latter, it means that after 24 hours, Hei San will escape from the underworld and return to the yang."

Shao Feng's face changed suddenly, "It's really like this, isn't there not much time left for us?"

Seeing that the target is about to run away, they don't even know where the other party is, what a game!

"So which one is it?" Wu Guang was a little impatient, "We need to know whether it is A or B before we can make a countermeasure!"

After thinking about it for a while, Su Ji asked the one-legged old man: "Here, besides taking the normal way to reincarnate, what should the dead soul do if they want to return to the world?"
