Section 187, the humble truth [below]

"Don't complain, at least you have been hiding for so long just now, but we have been watched by them all the time, and they are talking about all kinds of topics. I still feel a buzzing sound in my ears."

Gui Gusong walked over in an exaggerated way. He felt very funny about Liu Shoucai's complaints. He was the biggest victim, but Liu Shoucai didn't even see him, which made him really annoyed.

"That's what you deserve. Who told you not to go back to the inn? You deserve to be quarrel by those people. By the way, why did those people suddenly run to the village chief's house? Didn't the village chief explain my words to them clearly? He even asked me to remind him again. By the way, where did the village chief go? Why didn't you see others?"

After talking for so long, Liu Shoucai found that the village chief had never been seen, so he felt even more unhappy.

"The village chief said he wanted to work in the field, so he went out early. The villagers were all because they had nothing to do, and some were too gossipy, or they were selfish cowards, so they gathered here."

"Oh! I really convinced them. Forget it, I won't talk about this anymore. By the way, what about Badou and Xiaobai? Why don't they see each other? Could it be that they also went to help the village chief farm?"

"Didn't they go back to the inn? I didn't see them!"

Guigusong also looked strange. He thought Badou and Xiaobai followed Liu Shoucai back to the inn, but who knew that Liu Shoucai actually asked him.

"No! They didn't go back to the inn with me. I went back alone. When I woke up, I found that it was already afternoon, so I rushed back. Could it be that they hadn't been back all afternoon? Could it be that something happened?"

When Liu Shoucai thought of this, he immediately became worried and hurriedly negotiated with Badou and Xiaobai with his heart, but the two of them had no reaction at all. Just like before, the mind-to-spirit communication lost its effect again.

"How is it? Or can't contact them?"

"Oh! Don't mention it, there is no reaction at all, just like before, the mental communication has been interrupted, and I don't know how they are."

Liu Shoucai became worried, especially when he couldn't contact him. He was even more worried. Because he couldn't contact him, he didn't know whether the other party was safe or whether something happened. This feeling of being confused and unable to catch him made Liu Shoucai feel uncomfortable, but he was helpless.

"Calm down first, maybe they're fine, let's wait. If they don't come back yet, then we'll go find them. Anyway, this place is so big, even if they run, they can't go anywhere."

Guigusong was not sure when he said these words, but he knew that it was not the time to panic now, otherwise Liu Shoucai would be under greater pressure.

"I hope there is nothing wrong with them!"

Liu Shoucai was also unsure. Just when Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong were worried about Badou and the others' safety, they came back, and they were all very excited. Liu Shoucai was so angry that he started to curse.

"Okay! You guys are really good enough, and we are worrying about you here for nothing. You are having a lot of fun. Don't come back if you have the ability. What else do you do?"

"Liu Shoucai, are you crazy? If you get angry, go and drink some mung bean paste. For some reason, you will scold me as soon as you enter the door. Who are we offended?"

"Xiaobai, don't blame him. We haven't contacted you just now, and you have been out for too long, so we didn't say anything to us, so we are all worried about you and thought something happened to you."

"Who said we didn't tell you when we went out? What we told you when we went out was that you didn't remember it yourself, who would you blame? Besides, when we came to this village before, didn't we find out that this place cannot use mental communication? Why did we forget you again?"

Xiaobai's scolding made Liu Shoucai and Gui Gu Song look ashamed. They also remembered that this is indeed the case. It seems that they are really too uneasy.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you, but I was really nervous just now."

"Liu Shoucai, you don't have to be too nervous. Actually, I can understand you. You are under too much pressure, so you are like this. Don't think so much, have a good rest, I believe you will return to normal."

"What do you mean? What do you mean? I can get back to normal? Am I not normal now? Why am I an abnormal person? If you have any, please tell me again?"

Liu Shoucai was really angry this time. He hated others saying that he was sick the most, but now Xiaobai said that. Seeing that Liu Shoucai was really angry, Xiaobai didn't dare to continue talking, so he turned around and ran back to the room.

"Brother Liu, be calm and don't get angry, it's also a joke."

Guigusong comforted Liu Shoucai for a moment. Liu Shoucai tried hard to restrain his bad temper. After recovering a little of his emotions, he sighed.

"Oh! I don't want to quarrel with it either, but I can't help it anymore. I feel like there is a flame in my heart that wants to erupt, but I can't find the origin of the eruption. I want to extinguish it, but I can't put it out, and I really feel so stuffy."

"Your situation is really serious now. Be cautious and don't be so excited. Come, learn from me and take a deep breath..."

"Come on! Do you believe this kind of nonsense that deceives children? If it works, I'll use it long ago, so I'll wait until now."

Liu Shoucai was made of Gui Gusong's actions and burst out laughing. After laughing, he felt much more relieved. Seeing that Liu Shoucai had a smile on his face, Gui Gusong was temporarily relieved.

"Okay, as long as you're fine, let's go to have a meal first! The village chief has been ready for us for a long time."

Guigusong patted Liu Shoucai on the shoulder and took him to the kitchen. At this time, the village chief had just put the food out. Seeing that Liu Shoucai and the others were coming, the village chief showed a simple smile on his face.

"I'm so sorry, we don't have anything delicious here, so I hope you will be a little bit by Master. Moreover, my cooking skills are not good, I hope you don't dislike Master."

"If we eat, we just want to eat, just order it casually! Just like you always do, we have nothing to picky about."

"That's good. Please sit down, several masters, and I'll serve you all the meal right away."

The village chief looked happy. He felt that Guigusong was very sincere. After dinner, Liu Shoucai and the others went back to the inn. This time, Badou and Xiaobai did not go with him because they were going to watch in the village tonight.

"Brother Liu, do you think the demon will come to make trouble tonight?"

"Can't you use the technique of peeping the sky? Why don't you check it out again."

"It's useless, it's useless to see it. The demon Taoist has been meditating all the time, and I can't tell whether that is his true body. Maybe he uses a substitute to hide it from the world?"

"That's right. These days, magic has begun to deceive people's eyes. Oh! Forget it, I don't want to, so let's go to bed early! We will get up tomorrow morning and go to exchange for Badou and Xiaobai. The night is very difficult to bear."

Liu Shoucai understood the pain of staying up late, so he did not continue to talk to Gui Gusong, and went to bed. As soon as Liu Shoucai fell asleep, Gui Gusong also went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong ran back. Badou and Xiaobai reported what happened last night with dark circles. Except for a few villagers who had something to do, there was nothing special.

"Xiaobai, you said that some villagers were making trouble at night, so what were they making trouble?"

"What else can I make a fuss? It's just a matter of family matters. Okay, you don't have to worry about this anymore. Just think about how to worry about the next thing!"

"What's next? What's going on next? Is there anything that's hard to deal with?"

"Oh! Don't be angry after saying this!"

"Well, I'm not angry, you said."

"Last night, we found some strange actions. I think it was a traitor, just like the situation in those villages before."

"are you sure?"

After hearing Xiaobai's suspicion, Liu Shoucai immediately became alert. What he was most worried about was the occurrence of traitors. If this happens now, it must be resolved as soon as possible. If it takes a long time, there will definitely be greater accidents.

"I can be sure, but it's not 100%. I have to investigate this tonight. If he still does that tonight, I will be sure."

"Okay, then this matter will be left to you. If that person is still like that tonight, you can quickly arrest him so that he will not really do anything to betray us."

"I understand, don't worry, I know what to do. OK, let's go to bed first. The feeling of staying up late is so sour and I feel a little painful."

Xiaobai said that and yawned, Badou looked listless. After sending Xiaobai and Badou away, Liu Shoucai and Guigusong went to the village chief to find out about the situation of the family.

"Village Chief, do you know the old man living in Hou Village?"

"I know! He is an elder in this village. What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with him?"

The village chief looked at Liu Shoucai with a puzzled look. Liu Shoucai told the village chief all the things Xiaobai suspected, but the village chief directly denied Liu Shoucai and the others' speculation.

"Impossible. Uncle Fang will not betray us. Even if everyone in our village has betrayed me, Uncle Fang will not betray him. I absolutely trust him."

The village chief looked firm. Seeing this, Liu Shoucai knew that there would be no other gains after talking, so he didn't say anything else and turned around and left.

"Hey, Master, don't leave now! You said you want to start making the formation, so when will it start?"

"You don't have to worry about this, or you don't have to worry about it. This has nothing to do with you. You just need to do your own business."

Liu Shoucai's words made the village chief look embarrassed. He didn't really want to interfere with Liu Shoucai and the others. It was just that the village chief wanted to take the opportunity to help. Fortunately, Liu Shoucai could take care of himself more at the critical moment. Unfortunately, Liu Shoucai was not moved by this, but he felt that the village chief was a little annoying.

"Master Liu, I can really help you. Or can we help you prepare hot water for bathing? Or can I help you draw talismans, etc. In fact, I have learned those Taoist priests' talismans before. Although they are not very similar, they can also be like seven-minutes."

The enthusiasm of the village chief made Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong a little anxious, "Village chief, you really don't need your help. Besides, we don't need any talismans, and we dare not use the talismans you draw! After all, this is a matter of concern for everyone's life safety, and it is not a random game."

"Yes, village chief, you can save your worries and don't cause trouble for us. Go and rest! We really don't need your help here."

Guigusong and Liu Shoucai both asked the village chief to rest. Seeing this, the village chief could only obey Liu Shoucai and Guigusong's instructions. In fact, the village chief did not sleep all night last night. He has been busy for so long and is already tired.

After returning to the room, the village chief fell to bed and fell asleep. No matter how hot the weather was, but fortunately it was still in the morning, so he was not a special person.

After the village chief left, Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong began to set up formations in the yard. Looking at the formation this time, Liu Shoucai felt a lot more emotion.

"Brother Guigu, you said that if we really kill the demon this time, what will we do in the future? Where will we go?"

"I'll talk about the future. Let's finish the things in front of me first. Actually, I don't have any confidence in the killing of the demon path this time."

"I know what you mean. Are you still thinking about that secret technique? Okay, don't think about that. Even if that secret technique is 100% sure, I won't try it because it's too cruel. I really can't accept it. I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

"I understand, I have always understood, otherwise, I would have solved the demon myself, so how could I discuss it with you here? You! I really thought too much."

Guigu Song smiled lightly, then walked directly to the left corner of the yard. After putting down a jade token on the ground, Guigu Song began to recite the spell, and the jade token fell into the ground in front of everyone.

"Brother Guigu, what is your jade token? Why do you have to get it down there? Is there any explanation for this? Last time I asked you, but someone interrupted the topic, so I forgot to ask."

"Oh! This jade tag is actually to consolidate and strengthen the formation. If there is no such jade tag, the defense of this formation will be very poor. Just a light fist can crush the formation."

"I really didn't expect that this formation still needs to be equipped with jade tokens. What should I do if there is no jade token?"

"If there is no jade plaque, you can also use stone instead. However, the spiritual power of the stone is not as good as that of the jade plaque, so the defense will be much lower. If conditions permit, I would recommend using jade plaques better."

Guigusong said it very easily, as if the jade token was as casual as a stone in the mountains to him. If the jade token was placed in modern times, it would cost more than 100,000 yuan per piece. Liu Shoucai would not dare to use the defense system as a formation at will. He would really feel distressed.

"Brother Guigu, I really found that you are a rich man. Otherwise, you would lend me your money to Huahuabei. Last time you bought so many things with my money, and you didn't see you pulling out a hair. Now it's time to have some blood and sweat!"

As Liu Shoucai said that, he walked towards Guigusong with a sarcastic look on his face. Guigusong was frightened by Liu Shoucai's smirk and quickly retreated. Just as Liu Shoucai was asking for Guigusong's jade pendant, the village chief suddenly rushed out of the room.

"Village Chief, what's wrong with you? I was shocked."

Seeing the village chief sweating profusely, Liu Shoucai quickly slapped his chest. He was really scared by the village chief's excitement just now.

"Sorry, I just had a nightmare just now. I thought everyone in our village was dead, so I woke up in shock. I am really sorry. I hope you forgive me."

As the village chief spoke, he apologized to Liu Shoucai and Guigu Song. Liu Shoucai was not the kind of unreasonable person. When he saw that the village chief apologized, he didn't care about anything anymore. After all, everyone had this situation, so Liu Shoucai was embarrassed to say anything else.

"Okay, we didn't blame you, village chief, please take us to see that old man later! I want to talk to him in person. If he really has nothing suspicious, then I will naturally not say anything. If he really chooses to be a traitor, I will not let him go. Of course, if you can continue to accept him, then I have nothing to say."

After Liu Shoucai made the village chief think for a while, and soon the village chief gave the answer.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. What do you say do, then do what!"

The village chief looked listless. Uncle Fang was one of the people he liked to be close to since childhood. After so many years, the people around him left one by one. Now only Uncle Fang was the one whom he had no other wishes. If even he chose to betray him, the village chief really felt that he had no hope of living.

After chatting for a few more words, the village chief went to wash his face and then took Liu Shoucai and Gui Gusong to find Uncle Fang. Uncle Fang's family looked good, but the old man was alone at home, and the old man had only one daughter. He just married to another place early in the year. Because it was too far away, he rarely came back, so he only had Uncle Fang at home.

"Uncle Fang, we came here this time to ask you something. I hope you can tell us the truth. Of course, you can choose not to say it, but we will regard you as the key object of doubt at that time."

"What are you doing? It's so serious. If you have any questions, please ask me! If I knew, I will tell you."

Uncle Fang looked kind and couldn't tell anything was wrong. Liu Shoucai was also a little suspicious of Xiaobai's words at this time, but he still strengthened his mind and asked everything Xiaobai saw last night.
