Chapter 382 Four People Are Lying

"Sure enough!"

Xu Ye's expression darkened slightly.

No one would give benefits to others for no reason.

Even if it was what the immortals and Buddhas needed, it was the faith brought by people's offerings.

These villagers were able to reverse their lives just by kneeling down to worship the mountain god. It is conceivable how high the price they paid would be.

"What happened?" Lu Bode asked.

"It happened a month ago." Wen Dazhuang said, "The first person to get into trouble was Wang Ergou, who had moved to the city."

"After selling the gold bars, he got a large sum of money and bought a house and a car."

"But one day a month ago, he was found dead in his mansion with several stab wounds."

"Later, according to the police investigation, it was because his former friends heard that he had become rich and wanted to borrow money."

"But Wang Ergou wanted to get rid of his friends with a few thousand yuan, and those friends were so angry that they stabbed him to death."

"This kind of thing is nothing special, right?" Lu Bode scratched his head, "Not to mention him, similar things happen in Longguo every year at least hundreds of incidents."

"If it was just Wang Ergou who got into trouble, I wouldn't be so scared." Wen Dazhuang shook his head.

"Three days after Wang Ergou's accident, Cuihua, who had followed a rich man, was discovered by the rich man's original wife and had concentrated sulfuric acid splashed on her face. Not only was her face disfigured, but she also died on the way to the hospital due to untimely treatment."

"The old village chief, who had become younger, was too energetic and fell off a cliff during his morning run."

"Erbao was accidentally tripped by a broken log while carrying heavy objects, and was crushed to death by the stones on his body."

"Liu Tong was on his way to the city to attend the market when a truck carrying steel fell off and hit him. If he hadn't become so tall, he might not have died at all."

"Han Jinbo stayed at Widow Li's house for two days and died of exhaustion."

"One single thing looks like an accident, but so many things add up..."

"It's like some kind of curse... or price?" Lu Bode continued Wen Dazhuang's words with a slightly condensed expression.

"The way they died was related to what they prayed for." Xu Ye pointed out the problem, revealing a thoughtful look.

For some reason, this method of equivalent exchange was somewhat similar to the effect of [Red Blood].

"I and a very small number of villagers noticed these things and began to persuade others not to go up the mountain again." Wen Dazhuang continued.

"Besides, according to the descriptions of the villagers, I always feel that the appearance of the mountain god is very similar to the stranger I met two years ago!"

"But everyone is used to being poor. It's hard to have this opportunity to realize their wishes. Most villagers are unwilling to listen to us."

"They think that the dead are just coincidences and bad luck. As long as they pay more attention, these problems will not occur!"

"Until now, there are people kneeling down to worship the mountain god every day, hoping that they can meet him when they go up the mountain, so as to realize their wishes!!"

"In addition, many villagers can pick up various things that emit light on the mountain. After selling these things, they also make a lot of money."

"Even if they can't see the mountain god, many people keep going into the mountain."

Wen Dazhuang finished speaking in one breath, and couldn't help but light another cigarette, with a melancholy face.

This feeling of powerlessness made him very uncomfortable.

But when he persuaded other villagers, the villagers seemed to have their money taken away. Not only did they sneer at his words, but they even showed a strong aggressiveness.

"Professor, what do you think?" Xu Ye turned to look at Professor Lu Bode beside him and asked.

He vaguely guessed that those things emitting light might be the fragments circulating in the Black City, or even bought by Lei Lei.

Lu Bode pondered for a moment: "This situation is beyond the scope of my research."

"But I think that the ability to achieve the effect he mentioned must be at least S-level or above, or a Juebao of the corresponding level."

"I must have more intuitive clues to know the specific situation."

"I see." Xu Ye touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped off the kang, "It's decided, let's go into the mountain and take a look."

"Hey! Have you forgotten what I just told you?" Wen Dazhuang sat up in shock when he heard this, "The blessing of the [Mountain God] has a price!"

"So what?" Xu Ye replied nonchalantly, "We came here this time to investigate these things."

"The strangers you mentioned, the secrets of the mountain god, and those mysterious fragments are all things I am very interested in."

"And taking this opportunity, maybe we can restore An Lan's memory."

An Lan's eyes turned slightly, and he nodded gently, approving Xu Ye's actions.

"Thank you for the information you provided." Xu Ye walked out the door leisurely.

Lu Bode shrugged at Wen Dazhuang and followed Xu Ye's steps: "You know, for researchers, this kind of event is bound to arouse curiosity."

An Lan followed the two of them silently and left the door together.

Wen Dazhuang hurriedly caught up and shouted at the door: "You must be careful and absolutely cannot trade!"

"Otherwise, there will definitely be a disaster!"

Xu Ye just waved his hand, disappeared into the alley of the village without looking back, and walked straight towards Songfeng Mountain.

Wen Dazhuang just watched the backs of the three people silently.

Until they completely disappeared, the worry and panic on his face disappeared, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

"The seeds have been planted..."

"Next, it will be more interesting, right?"

Under the sunlight, the smile on his face became particularly gloomy, and a faint black air emanated from his body.

"Can you resist the temptation?"

...

About twenty minutes after leaving Wen Dazhuang's house.

Xu Ye and the other two stood at the foot of the towering Songfeng Mountain, looking up at this strange mountain.

Because the villagers often go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt.

Over time, there are more traces of many people walking on this mountain, which turned into a mountain road leading directly into the mountain.

On the way here, he had already told An Lan all the past mentioned by Wen Dazhuang.

But An Lan was still confused and did not recall any memory at all.

Lü Bode roughly glanced at the mountain, turned to look at Xu Ye: "Are we going straight into the mountain?"

"Yes." Xu Ye's expression was full of amusement, "I have a hunch that we may encounter something very interesting."

Lü Bode and An Lan were quite puzzled by Xu Ye's inexplicable excitement.

But only Xu Ye knew.

Since he came to Heicheng and arrived at the foot of Songfeng Mountain.

Four people lied to him!

"What is your purpose?"

Xu Ye wore an unpredictable smile, took a step forward, and stepped into the mountain.
