She made fire by setting up a stall

Chapter 695 The village has another secret

In Hammer's view, what even Master Shi couldn't do, this old man in black robe could make Master Huatian grow a new arm in a short time. He was either a god or a legendary wizard with special abilities.

In addition, the clothes of the old man in black robe matched the wizard in Hammer's imagination.

Hearing this, the old man in black robe laughed, "I'm not."

"I just learned some superficial techniques."

Everyone knew whether it was superficial or not. Since the other party didn't want to say more, they just followed it.

The old man in black robe did not live in the village.

Pass through the stockade and go straight east.

Although the leader and others listened to the words of the old man in black robes and did not show any obvious hostility towards Shi Luo and his party, how keen were Shi Luo and his party?

The savages were scattered around the stockade, watching them warily.

Thinking of the missing women and children in the village, Tang Qiang couldn't help but said, "Senior, I think there is something I still need to say."

The old man in black robe was not surprised, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."

"Although they are isolated from the world, they are still human beings. As human beings, murder should be used to pay for their lives." Tang Qiang continued.

The old man in black robe nodded, "That's what you said."

"It's just that they are different from the people down the mountain." The old man in black robe turned back and looked around the village, "Do you think there are many people in this village?"

Tang Qiang looked confused when he was asked. He thought about it and said, "There were more than a dozen people who besieged us just now."

"But I heard that there are nearly a hundred men in the village." The girl who was rescued said.

Not to mention cities, in an average village, nearly a hundred men are not that many.

"In fact, apart from the old and the weak, there are less than fifty young and middle-aged people in the village, and the number of their next generation born is decreasing year by year. Today, there are less than three children under the age of fifteen in the entire village. Ten people." The old man in black robe is not always in the village, but he knows everything about the village.

Fifty men in their prime gave birth to less than thirty children.

and--

"Few of them can grow up." The old man in black robe continued.

But the girl also said that the two women who were robbed would give birth to five children and seven children. According to this calculation, there should be more children in the village.

Tang Qiang knew that there was no need for the old man in black robe to deceive.

There must be something else hidden in this.

Tang Qiang finally understood why those savages were so anxious to snatch the girl who strayed into the mountains and were so anxious to give birth to a child.

"Did they also go down the mountain and kidnap innocent girls?" Hammer thought of another point.

The old man in black robe shook his head, "Never."

"I have issued a ban not to go down the mountain and abduct women from outside."

"If you can't go down the mountain to rob, you can rob someone who accidentally entered the mountain?" Hammer couldn't help but mocked.

The old man in black robe stood still, paused for a few breaths, and then said: "The village will continue to exist after all. If there were no outside women giving birth to children, the village would have disappeared many years ago."

Sure enough, women in this village can give birth to far fewer children.

Of course, no matter what, robbing innocent people is a big mistake, and besides, they also killed someone.

There should be more than one.

"Whoever among them is contaminated by the cause and effect will also bear the responsibility for the cause and effect." Even if there is no human law to restrict it.

The old man in black robe didn't look fake. Tang Qiang and Hammer wanted to ask more questions, but they were worried that the privacy of the village would be involved, so they looked at the old man in black robe without hesitation. Although the law can restrain most people from crossing the line, there are always shady corners and shady transactions.

"Does the cause and effect need to be repaid with one's life?" Hammer couldn't help but ask.

The old man in black robe glanced at the savages hiding around him again, and said meaningfully: "Sometimes, death is relief."

This is true.

But taking other people's lives easily, even if you have to bear the consequences, still makes people angry.

"If you are willing, I can take you to meet those people who have been backlashed by cause and effect." The old man in black robe seemed to be extremely indulgent towards Shi Luo and his group.

Tang Qiang and Hammer were both a little embarrassed.

They didn't respond immediately and looked at Shi Luo, waiting for Shi Luo to decide.

"No need." Shi Luo refused.

She said to Tang Qiang and Hammer: "They are cursed. If we show up, we will anger them."

Zhuge was somewhat interested in the curse, and he only glanced diagonally behind him.

There were lush vegetation there, and through the vegetation, Zhuge could faintly see a dark cave entrance that was half a man high.

The old man in black robe never stopped smiling. He was waiting for Zhuge to mention. Zhuge looked away and raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

"Senior, although this village is hidden in the depths, it is not impossible to be discovered. However, no one has exposed the existence of the village for so many years, and no one has mentioned the existence of the savages. Is it because senior set up the formation?" This was what Tang Qiang found strange along the way, but when Master Shi led them to the stockade, he said that there were no formations around the stockade.

Could it be that the old man in black robe knew that they were coming and solved the formation in advance?

"I didn't set up a formation." The old man in black robe knew everything, "I wonder if you have ever noticed that before you found this place, you encountered a piece of psychedelic grass?"

They have not encountered it, or they may have encountered it, and they have no feeling.

Hammer thought that when Master Shi brought them here, he had stopped for a moment beside an inconspicuous patch of grass.

"We all took Jiedu pills before coming here." Ouyang Chen answered.

The parents of the girl Shi Luo had just rescued must have called the police, and the search and rescue team must have come to look for her. They found no clues, so a search and rescue team must have also come to search, and they should have found nothing.

It all sounds reasonable, yet feels weird.

Tang Qiang and Shui Zi couldn't figure it out, and Shi Luo had no intention of explaining. Tang Qiang smiled and said, "We have no other problems."

The old man in black robe then smiled again and continued to lead them to his residence.

This is a cliff-side cave.

The cave seems to be naturally formed, and it is divided into three spaces.

There was a small round wooden table placed on the outside. There was nothing else on the table except for a black bird. When the bird flapped its wings, flew over and landed on the shoulders of the old man in black robe, everyone noticed. This is a crow.

The crow's feathers were shiny black, and it was larger than any they had ever seen before. It had sharp claws and dark eyes.

It tilted its head and looked around the group of people.

The macaw, which had been hiding in Xiao Wang's arms, heard the noise and popped up its head. When it saw the crow, the parrot cried out, "Ugly, so ugly!"

Xiao Wang quickly covered the parrot's beak and apologized to the crow, "I'm really sorry, I didn't teach him well."

The old man in black robe touched the crow's head and said for the crow: "It is quite satisfied with its fur."

The crow obediently rubbed the palm of the black-robed old man's hand, then flew away, and soon came back with a small bead in its mouth, which could emit a faint light in the dark.
