"The stranger is back!"

Six people, male and female, all dressed in wedding attire, walked back to the village together.

The shadow of the banana tree is still whirling, but the spider silk hanging high above it a few days ago has disappeared.

The air temperature is still so dry that it is breathless. Considering the unbearable climate here all year round, it is inconceivable that the villagers can survive here for hundreds of years.

Feng Wujing had a cooling barrier on his head, and after leaving the cave, he found that the barrier he had set up had been broken during the fight with the spider spirit. After resting, Gu Langqing gradually recovered his spiritual power, and immediately went Vigorously reset an enchantment for him.

As for the cancellation of the enchantment by his own immortal technique, he didn't mention a word.

"Hey, the two immortals are back! Please come in, please come in," Zhou Daguan greeted them with a smile when he saw them from a distance, but when his eyes shifted to the six foreigners behind them, his smile froze for a moment. On the face, he was speechless for a while, "You...you also enter."

At the same time, when the villagers heard the news, most of the idle villagers gathered in front of the Zhou mansion, watching the progress curiously, their eyes full of malice and hatred for "outsiders". It's not easy for them to make mistakes when they speak.

The six "outsiders" obviously had lingering fears about what happened in the past, surrounded by a kind of hostile people, they dared not step into the Zhou mansion.

In front of everyone, Zhou Daguan became more and more embarrassed, and persuaded in a friendly voice: "What are you afraid of? I'm not a monster."

There was silence for a while.

A gust of wind blew by, and the crowd gradually became restless.

Finally, a tall and strong man among the six was a little bolder, pointed at the nose of Daguan Zhou, and cursed viciously: "You bought us, but you didn't take the lives of our slaves seriously! It's useless for you to meet with me on the way!" What we say about the "Prajna Heart Sutra", that all living beings are equal, is to trick us into sending us to death!"

A woman sobbed and echoed: "Yes, we trust you so much, you use us to sacrifice to the goblin."

There was a lot of people talking, and the crowd gradually became agitated when they heard the shocking news. Their low-pitched discussions and doubts fell into the ears of Daguan Zhou, and buzzed in his head, forming a mess.

Zhou Daguan was dumbfounded and didn't know how to explain for a while.

From the point of view of the six slaves, they were first bought with a lot of money, and the buyer also promised earnestly that they would be treated as ordinary villagers. For them, this was the joy of being reborn.But who would have thought that after only a few days of peace, several people were arranged to marry the villagers, and then something happened——

fell into the mouth of the monster.

What is the difference between such an encounter and lifting them up to the clouds first, and then stepping them all into the mud?

Under the few words spoken by the two of them, Zhou Daguan's operation seemed more and more like offering sacrifices to some evil things.

Now he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean himself up.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mr. Zhou blushed with anxiety, and the commotion in the crowd became more and more intense. A man jumped out and asked in puzzlement, "Mr. Zhou, didn't you say that they are foreigners, how did they become slaves?"

"Mr. Zhou, did you leave the village behind our backs? But a hundred years ago, didn't our ancestors advise everyone not to leave the village?"

"Yes, if someone follows us to Zhougezhuang, the paradise built by our ancestors for a hundred years will be destroyed in your hands!"

"..."

"Stop, stop," Zhou Daguan made a pause gesture, smiling face, "I will give you a reasonable explanation when the matter of the demon is clear."

Zhou Daguan respectfully looked at Zhou Mansion and gestured: "Come on, six, please come in."

Finally, the six people were persuaded to enter the mansion. The senior official Zhou exhaled, wiped off the big beads of sweat on his forehead, slowed down and fell to the side of the white-clothed fairy in the back of the hall: "My lord, where did you find them?"

Gu Langqing's expression was light: "A corner of the spider spirit's cave."

"Spider spirit?" Zhou Daguan looked terrified, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't it an evil god?"

Gu Langqing glanced at the extremely nervous person: "You know?"

"No, no, I don't know anything."

Zhou Daguan waved his hands again and again, shaking his head.

The young man in red snorted coldly: "How did you know about the evil god's curse? Why did you cut off your legs and seal the coffin."

Zhou Daguan looked shocked, hesitantly said: "You know?"

After he finished speaking, he immediately felt a creepy chill rushing from the soles of his feet to his scalp, which was especially frightening in this sweltering weather.

He searched for the source, and met the determined eyes of the boy in red.

"It is said in the book that the curse of the evil god is for ominousness, and the curse of the evil god will only appear around people with a guilty conscience," Zhou Daguan dodged Kaifeng Wujing's cold gaze, and he was so frightened that he was about to cry, "I The thing of breaking up the lovers is really wrong, and many innocent people were implicated and driven out of the village... I was really afraid, worried that the curse would attract something, so..."

"Don't talk about that," Feng Wujing interrupted the man's chaotic words with a cold and weary expression, "What is the relationship between your family and that spider spirit?"

"Spider spirit..."

Zhou Daguan turned his eyes around the red and the white couple several times, muttering to himself, facing Feng Wujing's cold gaze, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he finally closed his eyes tightly, with a painful expression on his face, and told the story Come on.

His son Zhou Dayuan had known a girl since childhood.

However, no one knows when he met the girl.

Zhougezhuang has been in existence for a hundred years, and there are hundreds of people in the village who say that there are not many, and there are not many. Everyone knows each other, and the children have gathered together to play since they were young.

At first, Zhou Dayuan was no exception. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was kind to others, so he was very popular among children.

In this way, when he was seven or eight years old, one day, Zhou Dayuan suddenly didn’t want to play with other children anymore, he squatted under the banana tree in front of Zhou’s mansion and talked to himself every day, and he didn’t care if others talked to him. Reasonable, as if bewitched.

At first, everyone didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was a normal child's psychology. They were busy plowing the fields every day, and no one had the energy to stare at the strange child under the tree.

After three or four years like this, Zhou Dayuan, who was in his teens, suddenly returned to normal. He was accompanied by a beautiful little girl. When people asked Zhou Dayuan who it was, Zhou Dayuan just shook his head, saying that he picked it up on the road in the village. good friend.

This is really amazing.

Everyone has a love of beauty, Zhou Daguan saw that the little girl was beautiful, kind-hearted, well-behaved and sensible, so he acquiesced in allowing this uninvited guest of unknown identity to live in Zhou's mansion, which became the first precedent for a foreigner in Zhougezhuang to enter the village .

In the few years since then, the relationship between Zhou Dayuan and the little girl has been warming up day by day.

The year before last had passed peacefully and happily, and Zhou Daguan suddenly discovered the letter left by his ancestors that his close relatives could not get married. In anxiety, he sneaked out of the village and braved all the difficulties and obstacles to find out the way into the city.

Originally, they only planned to buy a few slaves to save the younger generation in the village, but Zhou Daguan didn't delay all the way, and hurriedly rushed to the schedule.

However, on the way back to his hometown, he met a priest.

"Pindao Guan, you have a demonic aura in your body, and you must be contaminated by daily contact with goblins. Do you want Pindao to make a divination for you?"

Zhou Daguan was very annoyed at first, of course he didn't believe this, but the Taoist priest was also kind-hearted, and bluntly said that he didn't want his money and gave him money for free.

In the end, Daoist Zhou listened to the Taoist utter a birth date—it was the day when his son's little lover entered Zhou's mansion.

He went crazy with fright on the spot: "Master Daoist, what can we do?"

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and the person who tied the bell needs to be untied."

The Taoist priest handed Zhou Dayuan a kit, the medicinal powder in it could make the monster change into its original form.As soon as he returned to the village, he told Zhou Dayuan the truth earnestly, and solemnly gave the kit to Zhou Dayuan.

Zhou Dayuan didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it, there is no loss in trying it left and right, so the two of them sprinkled the powder into the girl's teacup together.

That night, a huge spider changed into its original form under the action of the drug, and passed out in the Zhou Mansion.

It is human nature to be afraid of monsters, Zhou Dayuan was so frightened that he gasped, and together with Zhou Daguan, he stabbed the spider a few times to ensure that the spider died, and threw her into the river together.

"Later I suggested that Dayuan cut down the ominous tree, but he refused to let him live or die. I was afraid that he would be imprisoned, so I quickly arranged for him to marry a girl I bought. After the marriage, I think the relationship between the two is very good. Dude, I almost forgot about the spider spirit, if it wasn't for the two immortals, I really didn't think about it..."

"How could it be?" Gu Langqing asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't spider spirits be the first to be associated with monsters appearing in the village?"

"Hey..." Zhou Dayuan scratched his hair angrily, "After all, she has been killed, who knows that she will make a comeback. And this happened three years later, so I guess it has nothing to do with her."

Feng Wujing put his hands behind his back and lazily replied.

"Is there a reputation reason?"

This question was merciless, and it could be said that it took off the bright and beautiful fig leaf of Zhou Mansion.In fact, if you really want to get to the bottom of it, there is nothing wrong with caring about your reputation. Who in the world doesn't care about that little bit of face?

However, now that Feng Wujing looked at the hypocrisy of Zhou Daguan, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his words became more and more sharp.

Senior official Zhou smiled: "We think that if she really came to seek revenge, the first household should also come to our Zhou mansion, but it wasn't the Zhou mansion that caused the accident, so we excluded her like that. Besides, the mansion once housed demons. It's disgraceful to spread such a thing..."

Everyone walked to the guest hall together, the leading servant stopped, the official Zhou waved his hand when he saw this, "Hey, send the six of them to the inner courtyard for repairs, and ask Da Yuan and A Rong to come over."

The six slaves left, and the servant also hurried away to look for Zhou Dayuan, and there were only three people left in the guest hall.Damp mist stained the curtains, and sunlight penetrated down the vines covering the top of the village.

"Officer!"

The shout pierced through the silent hall, and a man in commoner clothes entered the room, bowed his head to the official Zhou, and bowed his head in a proper manner: "The old man Li who guards Yizhuang heard that the stranger came back, and he was clamoring to see you at the door." them."

Zhou Daguan waved his hand unhappily, suddenly realized that an outsider was present, and hurriedly stopped his movements: "Xianjun laughed, I let him go."

Gu Langqing said in a deep voice: "No, let him in."

The old man Li in Yizhuang was the one who spoke in a strange way, but told them a lot of news cryptically. Gu Langqing had a good impression of that man, at least he was much more real than the senior official Zhou in front of him.

Zhou Daguan pondered for a while, and ordered his servants to let Old Man Li enter the mansion.

Immediately, another servant cooked a pot of tea and put it on the table, Zhou Daguan got up to take the teapot from the servant's arms, and offered to fill it up for the two of them.

The aroma of tea overflowed into the room, slightly relieving the humidity in the air.

Feng Wujing suddenly said: "Do you know why the spider spirit doesn't hurt your Zhou family?"

Zhou Daguan was slightly taken aback: "Huh?"

Feng Wujing was holding a hot teacup in his palm, shaking the high-quality green tea in it carelessly, the raised veins on the back of his hands faintly appeared under his movements, reflected in the sunlight, his hands were pale, but The knuckles are slender, sharp and beautiful.

At the same time, a maid rushed into the guest hall, knelt on the ground, and said quickly.

"Officer, the young lady said that she couldn't find her necklace, so she couldn't come here for the time being. The special servant came to apologize to the three. When the young master and the young lady find the necklace, they must come immediately."
