Chapter 276: Secret Visit
Ye Jiannan hurriedly ran out of the courtyard and asked in surprise: "What is it, speak slowly!"
"They're going to execute the Archmage …… Brother Jiannan, didn't you say he's not a murderer?" Guo Guo anxiously returned.
Ye Jiannan nodded, but didn't say anything else, there was one more object of suspicion, could this be related to the patriarch, why would he be in a hurry to execute the Archmage?
"Then let's go and take a look, don't kill the good people!" Xia Mo said hurriedly.
Ye Jiannan glanced at Xia Mo, who was slightly flushed, the two had just started practicing the Harmonious Ghost Art, and as a result, the ghost art hadn't even begun to be practiced yet, but it was practiced on the bed.
The two of them ran all the way along with Guoguo, and after a few minutes, they finally arrived at the venue, at this time, those villagers at the venue, had already piled up a pile of firewood, tying the black-robed mage in it, and a law enforcement villager, who was holding a torch in his hand, was lighting up those firewood.
Ye Jiannan's trio came flying in, momentarily attracting the attention of the crowd.
At this moment, Ye Jiannan glanced at the black-robed old man, and saw that he had a murderous look on his face, staring viciously at Ye Jiannan.
"Bah, Ye Jiannan, you brat wait, even if this mage becomes a ghost, he is still an unjust ghost, I will definitely find you to settle the score!" The black-robed mage yelled.
Ye Jiannan sighed darkly, in fact, he didn't want to unjustly kill any good person, otherwise, would he give his soul a chance to escape?
Ye Jiannan's eyes flickered as he laughed bitterly, suddenly, he rushed to the woodpile and said aloud to the astonished villagers, "I'm only saying that the black-robed mage is the most suspected, however, I didn't say that he must be the murderer, what are you guys doing?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the scene was quiet, even the black-robed mage, frowned, his eyes staring at Ye Jiannan in surprise.
"Mr. Ye, you mustn't be fooled by him, the villages were safe and sound last night, doesn't that speak for itself?" The patriarch roared aloud.
"Yes, the murderer must be him!"
"Kill him …… Kill him …… Kill him ……"
The villagers shouted in unison.
Ye Jiannan raised his hand and made a quiet finger: "Everyone stay calm, tomorrow night, Erniu's soul will come back, at that time, we will ask him and it will be clear who the murderer is …… But before there is any evidence that it is the black-robed mage who did it, we must not kill good people in vain ah! !"
The crowd grew quiet and sullen for a while. The patriarch finally spoke, "That's right, there's no rush to kill him, if tomorrow night's Night of the Returning Fury proves that it was indeed him who killed him, we can kill him again before it's too late!"
While the patriarch was speaking, Ye Jiannan paid attention to the black-robed mage and vaguely saw that he was relieved and looked at Ye Jiannan with a much kinder gaze.
Ye Jiannan was even more certain that the murderer must not have the slightest relationship with the black-robed mage, here, he glanced at the others and saw that the crowd was thinking, finally, he directed his gaze at one of the teenagers, and saw that his face was somber, he did not know what he was thinking about, all of a sudden, a hint of a smile vaguely surfaced at the corners of Ye Jiannan's mouth, the time for the matter to come to a head was about to arrive!
The patriarch had spoken, and the villagers did not object any more, so this matter ended like this for the time being.
Ye Jiannan breathed a sigh of relief and brought Xia Mo and Guo Guo to leave, but he heard someone call out to him, "Ye Jiannan, Ye Jiannan …… I have something to say to you ……"
When Ye Jiannan heard this voice, he knew it was the black-robed mage, so he turned around and smiled, "Wait for me to find the evidence before I talk to you!"
The black-robed mage's face was gloomy for an instant, he had thought that Ye Jiannan was excusing him, but he could not have imagined that he would say these words.
While the black-robed mage's expression was uncertain, Ye Jiannan had already disappeared into the distance.
On this day, Ye Jiannan went back to make a series of preparations, and Guoguo said in confusion, "Brother Jiannan, I heard that only one tenth of the ghosts that can return to the Fury, are you sure you will return to the Fury?"
"Not sure!" Ye Jiannan returned.
"Then why did you make so many talismans?" Guoguo became even more confused.
"Although I don't dare to be sure about the Returning Fury, I'm certain that the murderer will definitely appear, so I have to prepare thoroughly!" Ye Jiannan returned.
"What a contradiction to say, Jiannan, why do I feel that you're talking with more and more depth!" Xia Mo also listened in bewilderment.
"Yes, didn't you say that the murderer is not a ghost, then why do you need to draw talismans, could it be that these talismans are also useful for people?" Guoguo continued to ask. In fact, this was the question that neither of them could figure out.
"The mountain man has his own plan, I'll arrange a task for you guys later!" After Ye Jiannan finished speaking, he continued to draw the talisman.
In this one day's time, Ye Jiannan prepared a lot of ghost hunting props, talismans, etc., and rested until dinner time.
Then, Ye Jiannan quietly arranged some things to the two of them, and went to the patriarch's home for dinner.
After dinner, Ye Jiannan and Xia Mo went out, in fact, the two of them went out of course not to practice the "Harmonious Ghost Art", such a crisis-ridden village, how dare they soul and spirit to leave the body, and then the yin and yang merge.
Then, what did they go to do?
In the night, the shadow of the duo, over a fence, drilled into a heavily guarded compound.
Since the duo were both magicians with some kung fu, escaping the sight of the general public was certainly not a problem, and after a while, Ye Jiannan appeared next to a cage made of wooden sticks and knocked out the guarding duo.
"Who?" The black-robed mage immediately turned around and stared at Ye Jiannan's duo: "Are you going to kill and silence them?"
"Shhh, it's inconvenient to talk during the day, we're here to hear what you want to say!" Ye Jiannan hurriedly responded.
The black-robed mage retreated two steps vigilantly, making sure that Ye Jiannan couldn't hurt him before squatting down on the ground, and then said, "Don't you guys want to know about the matter of the Mao Family Gully, I can tell you all of it, but, I have conditions!"
"You are not a murderer, you want me to help you uncover the culprit and clear your name, right?" Ye Jiannan asked rhetorically.
"You are truly a god man, from the first day I saw you, I knew that you are not an ordinary person, the purpose of your coming here is only not to publicize the family planning policy, right?" The black-robed mage continued to inquire after affirming Ye Jiannan's guess.
"That's right, a friend of mine is from Mao Jiagou, it's just that something happened to him, and I want to help him return his yang, so I'm here in search of my relatives!" Ye Jiannan replied truthfully.
"You guys came late, if it was five years ago, Maojiagou has what you want, but, now Maojiagou is a ghost, village …… remember that five years ago ……" the black-robed mage began to recounting what happened.
That was five years ago, one day, the windy and sunny Maojiagou, suddenly covered by a layer of thick fog, thirty days of rain in a row, the entire village was flooded, but strangely, and Maojiagou and the Yingge She, just across a mountain, but not a bit of rain.
This is strange, Yingge She and Maojiagou belong to the same night soul village, so the villagers of Yingge She set out en masse to go to Maojiagou to help with the disaster.
However, when the matriarch led these people, over the mountain that hindered the two villages, he saw that a monster had actually appeared at the head of Maojiagou!
"It's a monster right?" Ye Jiannan recalled the monster in the photo.
"Yes, it was exactly a monster that looked like a dragon and not a dragon, and looked like a tiger and not a tiger, and was devouring the villagers of Mao Jiagou with a big, big mouth at that time."
This strange sight stunned the relief workers, and they just watched with bated breath as all the villagers of Maojiagou were devoured.
Finally, after three days, Maojiagou weather clearing, can no longer see a little cloud, is not what the beast, the villagers went to Maojiagou to check the situation, the result is to see the Maojiagou peace and quiet, all in addition to the listlessness, and the loss of souls, and there is no one dead.
But let the crowd is difficult to understand, those villagers do not recognize them, originally Mao Jiagou and Yingge Society is a deep mountainous backwater, dependent on the two villages, and like brothers, the usual interaction is also quite a lot of marriage, the two villages are more frequent.
But this time, after going, all the people in Maojiagou, don't recognize them, and, those people seem to be crazy, as long as it's not Maojiagou's people, see to kill, will be a lot of villagers of Yingge She killed.
They went to a total of more than thirty people, only five or six people came back alive, among them were the patriarch, the mage two.
The two villages that were as close as brothers, turned against each other, originally Yingge Society was going to gather hundreds of people to take revenge, the result was that just when they were yelling about revenge and preparing to fight, one of the few people who came back before was bitten by the Mao Jiagou people after the madness, and as a result, he turned into a zombie, and he bites people all over the place.
"Zombie?" Ye Jiannan frowned.
"That's right, anyone who was bitten by him turned into the same walking corpse, from that day onwards, we realized that the people of Maojiagou, in fact, all died and turned into zombies, the matter of revenge, it was dispelled……. Then we killed those who turned into zombies of this village, the village was peaceful …… "The black-robed old man continued.
"Then why was it sealed, what happened afterward?" Ye Jiannan felt that there were still many questions yet to be answered.
"Afterward, everyone was very jealous, so they consciously did not mention this matter, but, after a long time, the shadow of fear dispersed, and everyone began to discuss this matter, and as a result, anyone who discussed this matter would die strangely at night, and the method of death was almost exactly the same as that of Erniu ……" The black-robed mage told the reason for the gag.
"Well, wait, I want to know, that deaf coffin painting teenager, when did he enter the village, is he from Mao Jia Gou?" Ye Jiannan suddenly asked.
"You suspect it's him?" The black-robed mage exclaimed.
"It's not possible to say at the moment!" Ye Jiannan returned.
"It must not be him, when he appeared, it had been more than half a year since Mao Jiagou's accident!" The mage said back.
"Uh …… well, I'm just asking casually, that's it then, I'll help you look for the murderer, but you can't divulge it, and you can't mention to anyone that I've looked for you!" Ye Jiannan urged before he left.
"That's of course, but are you confident tomorrow night?" The black-robed mage asked.
"No, just bumping my luck!" Ye Jiannan answered also very honestly, he indeed did not have much certainty himself, it was just a guess that the murderer would definitely show up.
