Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 45 Who is afraid of whom?

After making sure that the evil guest would not come back, Ren Yuan also left Xiejiazhuang and went to the mountain temple.

The backyard was very lively. In addition to all the members of the temple, Huang Laoer was also there.

Everyone was talking under the old willow tree. When they heard Ren Yuan coming back, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Ren Yuan first bowed to Huang Laoer to express his gratitude. He was able to pass the interrogation of County Lieutenant Xie thanks to the body-borrowing technique of this Huang Xian.

Before he entered the village, he let Huang Laoer control him with the body-borrowing technique, so it was Huang Laoer who took the brunt of the "Qianlongwenqushu" for him.

After being hit, Huang Laoer could no longer maintain his magic and automatically returned control of his body to Ren Yuan.

"I never thought that this trick could be used in this way. You people are just full of tricks." Huang Lao Er praised him twice in admiration, and then said pitifully:

"You're fine. I'm so embarrassed that I've let out all my secrets without realizing it."

"Don't worry, don't worry. We will never tell anyone about you peeping at your sister-in-law taking a bath, having a twilight romance with your teacher's wife, or using your elder brother's blood to enhance your sexual performance." Everyone patted their chests and made the promise.

"Okay, this is what you said. If I hear any rumors in the future, I will only ask you!" Huang Lao Er was also drunk and actually believed them. He asked Ren Yuan with a big tongue:

"But how could you have guessed that he would use the Qianlongwenqujutsu on you?"

Ren Yuan smiled and said, "The reason is very simple. Since that person knows magic and it is inconvenient for him to torture me, of course he has to use mental attack."

"It sounds simple, so why didn't we think of it?" Uncle Hu asked with a smile.

"You need to think more about it." Ren Yuan smiled bitterly, "I have been preparing for this day since two months ago."

"We can testify to this. Yuan has rehearsed it countless times, so he was able to get through it." The senior sister was concerned about another matter, and asked with concern, "But what happened next?"

The civet cat also said, "That dead face guy is too powerful. He has four monsters wearing bamboo baskets on their heads. I was discovered as soon as I approached, so I didn't hear the second half of your conversation."

Ren Yuan sighed, his smile faded, and he placed the box in front of everyone.

Under the candlelight, the dark box looked particularly oppressive. The few people who had seen it were all silent.

When Ren Yuan told them the whole story, everyone got angry!
"What should we do? Come up with a plan!" The civet cat jumped on Ren Yuan's head anxiously, and everyone looked at Ren Yuan. They didn't know when they had gotten used to letting him make the decision.

After all, he is the only reliable one present...

"This matter can be divided into two parts. One part has nothing to do with you, so I will only talk about the part that is relevant to you - I have roughly guessed what the things in this box are used for."

"What do you do?" everyone asked together.

"Poisoning." Ren Yuan said slowly, "The task that person gave me was to randomly find six villages and throw the six jars in them into the well. So it is likely that he wanted to poison the village and create a plague!"

"Yeah, that makes sense." Everyone nodded. It was obvious that this was going to cause great harm to the people of Fanxian Township! Even these mountain spirits and wild monsters thought it was too abominable!
"It's also possible that some evil ritual is being held." Mr. Hu San is well-informed and said slowly, "In the early years, witchcraft was prevalent, and there were many evil spells. Several villages would come for blood sacrifices at any time."

"It's unlikely." Ren Yuan shook his head and said, "There is still order in this dynasty. Even if there is such a ceremony, it must be held in a place far away from the emperor."

"Although we are in a mountainous area, our county is located in the heart of Jiangnan, only a hundred and fifty miles away from the capital. Moreover, it is also the location of the imperial mausoleum. Any major movement will attract the attention of the capital." Ren Yuan gave his own judgment:

"Even if they are crazy, they won't mess around in a place like this."

"But aren't they just making trouble?" the senior sister asked back.

"No, they are preparing for some trouble." Ren Yuan was quite sure. On the way back, he had analyzed everything clearly. "I guess their purpose is to create an isolation zone to hide their tracks." "And the only thing here that is worth their trouble is..." Everyone said in unison: "The Imperial Mausoleum!"

"That's right," Ren Yuan nodded and said, "The only thing in this village that is worth the attention of the bigwigs is the imperial tombs of the two dynasties! If we assume that their purpose is to steal the tomb of a certain emperor, then everything makes sense!"

"Wow, Yuan, you are so awesome!" The senior sister and her friends gave warm praise.

"What's the point of analyzing it?" Ren Yuan was not happy but worried: "With our strength, we still can't stop them."

"What about me?!" At this time, a handsome and elegant uncle pushed the door open. It was Hebaek Tenryoko.

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet them. Even Liu Zhongjun, who had been very quiet the whole time, was shaking his branches, making rustling sounds.

Tian Liangzi and he were old acquaintances, so he naturally understood what Liu Zhongjun said, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry about what I'm doing here. Let me ask you first, why don't you have any hair left on your head?"

The swinging amplitude of Liu Zhongjun's branches suddenly accelerated. Even though I couldn't understand what he was saying, I could feel that his scolding was very unpleasant.

Who would have thought that Tian Liangzi not only did not sympathize with it, but instead gloated over it and said, "It's what you deserve. Who asked you to help these two little bastards to cheat me?"

"Senior, this is your first time to visit my little temple." After the two old seniors finished chatting about the past, the elder sister asked Tian Liangzi, "What can I do for you?"

"It's not the first time I've come here. When you were imprisoned by the monster, I often came here to drink with Lao Liu." Tian Liangzi was also a little cautious. He emphasized that he was not the only one who had been imprisoned before, and then he said seriously:

"The second brother told me everything that happened. This is not just a matter for Shanshen Temple alone. It concerns the safety of the entire township. I can't just stand by and watch!"

"That's great. With the uncle's help, our chances of winning are greatly increased!" Ren Yuan said happily.

"Of course!" Tian Liangzi nodded happily and asked, "But, do you have any way to deal with these six jars? If not, I will send them to the deep sea."

"Don't do such a wicked thing that will destroy your entire family!" Ren Yuan shook his head decisively and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I've already found a place to store these jars. I guarantee they won't be found."

"That's good." Tian Liangzi nodded, then frowned and asked, "But if they don't have this little vinegar, they won't eat this dumpling? I'm afraid those beasts have other ways to achieve their goals."

"That's right." Ren Yuan was not optimistic at all and said, "They have great magical powers. It would be too easy for them to create a plague."

"No." Tian Liangzi suddenly thought of something unusual and asked, "If they really have other ways, why do they have to use these six jars?"

"That's another matter." Ren Yuan smiled and said, "It only concerns me, so I won't cause any trouble for you."

"Hurry up and tell me," Tian Liangzi waved his hand and said, "I hate people who only finish their sentences halfway!"

"Yes, young master, now is the time to unite against the common enemy, so don't distinguish between yours and mine." Everyone also shouted: "See if we can help!"

"Okay." Ren Yuan nodded, and told everyone what County Captain Xie had said to threaten him.

"Good guy, not only do you want to take the blame, but you also want to wipe out your entire family." Tian Liangzi understood as soon as he heard it.

"What should we do then?" asked the senior sister anxiously.

"He miscalculated on this matter. Little did he know that I was the one who was destitute!" Ren Yuan laughed:
"It's great that he wants to take over now!"

As he spoke, he raised his sword-like eyebrows and said proudly: "Look, I will trick him to death!"
