He was staggering.

He revealed a carefree and hearty smile, and flicked his wide sleeves, as if chuckling in casual conversation.

"I haven't seen anyone come in here in a long time."

"If you have time.....my two friends, would you please chat with me about the outside world?"

At this moment.

Chu Yan finally saw the old man's condition clearly.

Although this old man is old, he doesn't look old.

Instead, he is like an old man who gets up early every day to go to the park to exercise.

His eyes are bright and he looks vigorous.

That Taoist robe is indeed old...

However, you can see traces of needlework repairs on it, and it has been washed very clean.

It gives people a very down-to-earth feeling.

When Chu Yan saw the old man, it was as if he saw the uncles and aunts who usually chatted with him when he went downstairs to buy groceries.

I feel inexplicably familiar.

It's just chatting with the old man, he is familiar with this matter!

"Old man, do you usually live here alone?"

Chu Yan was not shy and asked curiously, "The academy has been built outside this forest. Will the people from the academy affect your life?"

".....College?"

The old man first showed a somewhat puzzled expression.

Then he seemed to remember something.

He showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said with a chuckle, "Oh, so I transferred all the rights of this forest to that young man."

"So his descendants have already built a school here to teach and educate people?"

"Haha, if you don't burn it, but use other methods to deal with those peach blossoms, this is a good way to use it."

The old man paused, and a hint of emotion flashed in his old eyes.

He whispered softly, "In this way, it would be a good thing to use some merit to offset the indiscriminate killing here."

Chu Yan didn't hear the old man's last murmur.

But what the other party said.

It still made him open his eyes wide.

Transfer the ownership of the land? Allow outsiders to build the college?

Damn it?

——So this whole piece of land belongs to you, old man! ?

Chu Yan understood immediately.

No wonder such an ancient courtyard house can be located deep in the college woods without being demolished.

It turns out the logic is the other way around.

It’s not that the nail households are unwilling to have the building demolished to build the college.

Instead, this big landowner was willing to give up his land so that the college could occupy these mountainous areas!

"My two friends, don't just stand there. Come over here and sit for a while."

The old man said with a faint smile.

He dragged over two rattan chairs that looked like they were woven by himself, placed them on the ground and patted them.

He smiled friendly and said, "I just want to chat for a while. It won't take up too much of your time."

"Oh, okay."

Chu Yan nodded without any doubt.

It's really not a good idea to stand and talk all the time.

Even if I fall behind the main group of the academy and won't be able to choose a dormitory later, it would be a bit worrying, but there is no time limit.

and.

Chu Yan glanced happily at the system task that had been refreshed not long ago.

——If you want to ask about the feng shui of this land, the ancient legends, which area is good, and where you can choose the best dormitory.

There is nothing better than asking this old man who is the landlord and may have been alive since the school was founded.

Are there more rewards available?

however.

Just when Chu Yan wanted to walk over and ask the old man why he was dressed like that.

A trembling little hand.

But she just grabbed the corner of his uniform and tried her best to prevent him from passing by!

".....Um?"

Chu Yan turned his head away with a puzzled look.

Puzzled, "What's wrong, Ban Tong?"

But he found that the girl with long light purple hair seemed to have an expression that was a little strange at the moment.

"Chu, Chu Yan!"

Ban Tong's little face turned pale and his right eyelid drooped and closed.

He looked frightened, yet he seemed to be trying to remain calm and not alert the enemy.

A very forced smile.

The small voice, as thin as a gossamer whispered: "Look, we have been away from the main force for so long."

"The other teachers should be anxious to find us, and they may soon enter the peach forest to search."

"We, let's go back quickly!"

The girl was trembling as she spoke.

She didn't know what courage she mustered to say all these words.

——Ban Tong recognized the clothes worn by the old man opposite.

It should be said that it is too familiar.

This month and a half.

The "Life Lamp Fairies" who came down to earth from that unspeakable [vision].

They all wore the same style of Taoist robes!

Of course, Ban Tong doesn't have the strength to stand on the battlefield against the Life Lamp Fairy...

But her branch had come under attack.

And because she possesses the magic eye for analysis.

The captured corpse of the Life Lamp Fairy was brought to her for her to take a look.

——Ban Tong still cannot forget the information that violently flooded into his brain at that time.

The wriggling flesh and blood is just an appearance.

It is an external form.

But what the girl saw with her own eyes... were hundreds and thousands of souls that were devoured, occupied, and could not be freed even in death.

Those unrecognizable ghosts.

The wail of its cries.

Even if Ban Tong went through the memory erasure procedure, he couldn't erase it from his brain——

Its impact is profound enough to leave an indelible mark on the soul.

And at this moment.

When Ban Tong saw the Taoist robes worn by the Go master, his hands and feet suddenly felt as if they were falling into an icy cave.

She immediately opened her magic eyes and looked around the garden.

——She saw a hell of flesh and blood.

This whole garden.

With the stone tablet in the center as the center, it includes the courtyard, the peach tree, and the pond!

All wrapped in scarlet flesh.

Especially that ancient stone tablet.

It's like a huge, living, beating ancient heart!

Although Ban Tong did not look directly at the old man.

But can a person who can chat and laugh happily in such an environment still be considered a normal person?

——It is very likely to be a higher existence than the "Life Lamp Fairy".

This scene made Ban Tong have a terrible idea in his heart.

Could it be that...

The peach forest outside exists just to seal this courtyard! ?

Now, Ban Tong didn't even dare to tell Chu Yan about this matter directly, and could only make up excuses.

The old woman may not know that she can see the "truth" around her.

Still pretending to be a good person and luring them over.

If the truth comes out...

Who knows, will the old man tear off his disguise and attack them directly?

But at this time.

——The words of the old man in Taoist robes almost caused Ban Tong's heart and lungs to stop.

"Oh, little girl, am I frightened by what I'm wearing?"

The old man's friendly voice sounded.

There seemed some surprise, and some inexplicable apology.

Then he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry... I haven't received outsiders for a long time. I have forgotten the etiquette of receiving guests."

"It's normal for a little girl to be scared when she suddenly sees this kind of outfit in a place like this."

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Let me think about it. The guy who came last time seemed to be wearing something similar..."

immediately.

Under Ban Tong's stunned gaze.

The old man loosened his waist and took off his Taoist robe.

—Here he was wearing a white cotton vest that exposed his arms, and some old-fashioned modern jeans.

Well, now he looks more like a park owner.

I still prefer going out to fish and play chess on weekends.

Not only that.

He looked at his surroundings and pondered for a moment.
