But Zhong Jun yelled: "Wow, isn't it?"
"You obviously sold this faucet to me yourself, and you even charged me five dollars!"
Mu Congtian and Su Mo were taken aback at the same time.
To be honest, Su Mo did not expect this development.
But Mu Congtian also stared wide-eyed, with an unbelievable tone: "This... how is it possible, don't talk nonsense, I have never seen you before! And this leader... This faucet... should have been burned to charcoal in that fire long ago!"
A very important message was revealed in his words.
The fire happened 70 years ago, that is to say, this faucet has a history of at least 70 years.
However, what Su Mo got out of his eyes was that this dragon head was carved the latest, and it must not have been more than a year old!
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Su Mo asked in a calm voice.
"Wrong? How could I be wrong!" Mu Congtian became excited: "I did it myself... Anyway, this is definitely the faucet back then!"
"It still won't let us go, and it still won't let Gantian Town go!"
Halfway through, when a certain secret was about to be revealed, Mu Congtian stopped abruptly, and instead began to howl, with some kind of despair.
However, since it was confirmed that he knew the secret, Su Mo had no scruples.
True Qi surged, forming a seal on the fingertips.
As soon as Mu Congtian's gaze came into contact with the talisman, he froze instantly, as if he had turned into a marionette.
Breathtaking!
Su Mo has not used this ability for a long time.
With his current state, once it is implemented, mortals will have no room to contend.
"Are you sure this faucet is really a product of 70 years ago?" Su Mo asked directly.
"Yes, I'm sure." Mu Congtian nodded slowly.
"70 years ago, what was the cause of the fire, and what happened before the fire?"
Zhen Qi had already sealed off the room, so what the guards outside saw was a false scene of several people having a happy conversation, and they didn't notice anything wrong at all.
"We want to burn the real dragon sculpture... burn all the real dragon sculptures in the town!" Mu Congtian's dull eyes showed fear: "We always thought that the skill of carving dragons is a gift."
"But later I realized that it was not a gift at all, but a disaster, and it was the origin of all the horror and weirdness in Gantian Town!"
"Before the fire, before the fire..."
Having said this, Mu Congtian's voice paused, and he kept murmuring these four words.
What happened next surprised Su Mo.
"I don't know." Mu Congtian's voice echoed in the room: "I can't remember, I...I just remember that there was a terrible thing, a curse, that has been haunting Gantian town. "
"A fire destroyed the real dragon woodcarving and burned all the curses. We thought things had calmed down. After all, it has been 70 years."
"But this leader... the curse is back. What happened back then will still happen. None of us can escape, and none of Gantian Town can escape!"
do not know?
Memories from that year disappeared strangely?
Su Mo had no doubts about the authenticity of his words.
Desperation is a direct dialogue with the soul, there is no possibility of concealment.
"Are you sure you bought the faucet from him?" Su Mo suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhong Jun.

Since coming to Gantian Town, Zhong Jun's evil spirit has become more serious.
If Su Mo hadn't given her a talisman to suppress her in advance, as long as it was night, she would even directly turn into an evil spirit.
This is the first time Su Mo has seen such a powerful evil spirit.
However, Gantian Town, which has the biggest problem, does not feel the slightest evil, and even looks like a lively small town at first glance.
This is the most dangerous situation.
It was also the reason why Su Mo didn't use Desperate Soul on her. Once he used it, Zhong Jun's soul would turn into a ghost immediately before he asked, and it was an irreversible kind.
"I swear to God!" Zhong Jun was terrified by his gaze, and quickly said, "I really bought it from him!"
......................................
"You know, I'm used to bluffing and deceiving, so after I came to Gantian Town, I also carried the name of Immortal Master."
"Then the old man seemed to respect me very much and received me personally. After hearing that I was going to build a wooden statue, he asked me which kind of god I wanted."
"Qin City is near the sea, and many people live by the sea, so there are only two most respected gods here, one is Mazu Empress, and the other is Dragon King."
Zhong Jun pointed to Mu Congtian who was like a puppet: "He told me that there happened to be a statue of a real dragon, but the body had been damaged, leaving only a dragon head."
"I didn't plan to buy it at first, but it turned out that the carving of this faucet was so lifelike that it was almost impossible to tell that it was a sculpture. It looked real under candlelight."
"Besides, the old man said that because his body was damaged and he had a heart of respect for the immortal teacher, he simply sold it to me for five yuan. I remember this incident clearly. He was also wearing the same clothes at the time, even the walking stick It's all the same root!"
What Zhong Jun said was so swearing that it almost cost his life.
After all, she has no reason to lie about this matter, helping Su Mo is saving her own life.
Su Mo didn't respond, but looked at Mu Congtian: "Is that true?"
"No."
Mu Congtian shook his head: "I've never seen her before. After the fire, there is no longer any real dragon sculpture left in Gantian Town, let alone a complete dragon head."
Chapter 672
"Me! This old man is absolutely lying!"
Mu Congtian was overwhelmed and controlled his mind, so naturally he would not have any emotions, and spoke in a straightforward manner.
But Zhong Jun was in a hurry, and his voice was even crying: "Su Daochang, I really didn't lie to you, and I have no reason to lie to you!"
"The sooner you get rid of the evil spirits, the sooner I will be safe too!"
Su Mo sat on a chair with a teacup in his hand, without any expression.
In fact, he was also lost in thought at the moment.
Zhong Jun has no reason to lie to him. Although it is impossible to believe him completely, he really can't see any flaws.
On the other hand, Mu Congtian was controlled by him with the technique of soul-snatching, and every word and deed was the most instinctive expression deep in his heart, and there was no possibility of lying or concealing.
But the answers of the two are completely different, and even conflict with each other.
In other words, one of the two answers must be lying.
but......
If what the two said is true, then...
Su Mo suddenly looked at Zhong Jun: "Is there a third person who knows about the deal between you?"
After being reminded by Su Mo, Zhong Jun also remembered, and nodded excitedly: "Yes! Of course!"
"Many people in the town saw me that day, Daoist Su, this bad old man is very bad, he has been lying to you."
"You can ask other people in the town. I came to Gantian Town with great fanfare that day, and I must have left an impression on many people!"
Su Mo glanced at her upon hearing this, but did not act immediately.
Instead, he turned his attention to Mu Congtian: "Is there any record of genealogy in this town? It was 70 years ago."
"No." Mu Congtian mechanically shook his head: "All written records were burned in that fire, and the records today are all the history of Xingantian Town after the fire."
Although I already had the answer in my heart, I was still a little disappointed.
"Then besides you, are there any other old people in the town who might know about those things back then?"
"Have."
Mu Congtian finally said this time: "Tian Wangguang is also the oldest old man in Gantian Town. He is over 140 years old and lives at the end of the village."
"It's a pity that since the fire, he has been foolish and foolish. He barely survived thanks to the support of the villagers. On weekdays, few people approach him. After all, he is a lunatic."
After asking a few more questions in detail, it was confirmed that there was no more valuable news.
Only then did Su Mo wave his hand, dispel his spell, and erase Mu Congtian's previous memory along the way.
Soon, Mu Congtian straightened up suddenly as if awakened from a dream.
He was confused for a while, and suddenly noticed the coldness of the trousers, and lowered his head, only to find that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea soaked the shoes and trousers.
"This... when did my teacup break?"
Mu Congtian smiled bitterly: "Oh, I'm getting old, I can't remember what happened just now, and what happened back then..."
He stopped talking suddenly, and waved his hand to let the servant outside come in to make plans, while he smiled apologetically at Su Mo: "Excuse me, Mr. Su, where did we talk just now?"
"You said you would show us the woodcarvings in Gantian Town when you have time." Su Mo sipped his tea with a flat face, as if nothing really happened.
"I said it?" Mu Congtian recalled for a while, but he couldn't recall the scene just now at all.
It's just a vague feeling that I seem to have said something.
"Oh, I'm really old, and there are too many businessmen these days, so I haven't had a good rest."
Mu Congtian simply stopped thinking about it, and said with a wry smile: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. It's still early. If it's convenient for Mr. Su, let's go and have a look now?"
"Okay." Su Mo put down his teacup.
There are warehouses in Gantian Town.
After all, with so many orders, it is always necessary to stock up in advance, and these sources are stored in the warehouse.
Looking at the exquisite wood carvings inside, Su Mo couldn't help but praise: "It really is a good craftsmanship."
It seems that only the dragon carving technique is really a curse. From these wood carvings, Su Mo did not notice any evil spirit, they are just the most common wooden handicrafts.
On the other hand, Zhong Jun followed Su Mo dejectedly, raising his head from time to time, showing hesitant to speak.
During the journey just now, she was the one to point out and tell who might know her.
Su Mo, on the other hand, used soul-stirring skills to ask them one by one.
However, what she never dreamed of was that everyone in this town had the same answer as the mayor, Mu Congtian.
Never seen this woman before!
The whole town has a unified caliber.
It seems that Zhong Jun is definitely lying. After all, these people in the small town don't have time to collude in advance.
It's just that after experiencing countless demons and ghosts, Su Mo understands that this matter is definitely not that simple...
"What are these?" Su Mo suddenly stopped.
In front of him are a large number of human-shaped wooden carvings. These wooden carvings have smooth faces and no facial features.
"This is a figurine."
Mu Congtian introduced: "It is for the funeral of the dead of the rich family."
In ancient times, living people would be buried with them.
Later, with the development of civilization, the things buried with them gradually became bronze figurines and pottery figurines.
"How does Mr. Su feel?" Mu Congtian said with a smile: "If you are interested, I can offer you an affordable price, definitely much lower than others."
"Except for dragon carvings, we can make any other sculptures, and the quality is guaranteed to be exquisite."
"I just hope that Mr. Su can speak a few words of kindness for Gan Tianzhen in front of Mr. Ren, and it is best to establish a long-term cooperative relationship."
"Okay, I will definitely think about it carefully." Su Mo gave an ambiguous answer, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, I'll find a place to rest first, and come to visit after thinking about it in a few days."
"Should be, should be!" Mu Congtian nodded quickly, and personally sent Su Mo and the others out of the house.
However, no one noticed.
Just after a few people left, the smooth faces of the figurines in the warehouse gradually changed, revealing facial features.
