"This is the third hurdle. It's a folk village, and it's such a simple thing as protecting others. It shouldn't be too scary." Zhu Ni said.

"It's better to be careful." Zheng Yurong took Zhu Ni's hand and said.

"Zheng Yurong is right. The second level is obviously more difficult than the first level. The third level should also be more difficult than the second level. The ninth and fifth level should also be more difficult in consideration of the level." Liu Wenying said, "We'd better be careful. "

Although the environment was very relaxing, Kong Nianren kept reminding himself not to relax his vigilance in his mind.

According to what the old man said, everyone soon saw the B&B with a white wall and blue tiles.

A tall pole is erected at the gate, with a white flag floating on the pole, and the word B&B is written on the flag.

The gate is open, and there is a small river at the entrance, only two or three steps wide, and a small bridge made of stone bricks is built on the small river, and a few small fish can be seen swimming back and forth in the small river, and there are four big stone bricks ahead. The paved ultra-small square has unevenness on the four stone bricks. Standing on the small bridge, one can see that it is a pattern, an animal that looks like a dragon, a snake, and a bird.

There is a stand on the left, which says the check-in place, and six people walked into the check-in place.A young girl in the check-in office was lying on the front desk playing with her mobile phone. When she saw someone coming, she immediately sat down and asked, "Are you checking in? The last three rooms are available."

"Is this the only place to stay in the village?" If the research team has already arrived here, they should also live in this homestay.

"This is the only one. If you want to find another place to live, you have to go to the town. You know from the town that it takes us a long time to get from here to the town." The girl looked at Kong Nianren and asked, "Do you live here?" ?”

"Live, of course." Kong Nianren said with a smile, "Does Teacher Xu's research team also live here? We are also here to study folk customs."

"You know Teacher Xu?" The girl laughed.

"I've heard of it." Kong Nianren was not Zhang Yi, and he was afraid that he would reveal his acquaintance, "I've always admired him."

"We belong to the same division, and his tutor is also our tutor. This time we also want to learn from Mr. Xu." Zhang Yi added, "Then the remaining three rooms."

"Here is the key. There is a number on the key. How long will you stay?" the little girl asked.

"Mr. Xu, how long will they stay?" Zhang Yi asked.

"This is the client's secret." The little girl became vigilant, "I have nothing to say."

"7 days." Xiang Jin said.

"The room fee is 1000, and the deposit is 11500. The total is [-]. How to pay?" the little girl asked.

Eleven thousand and five?Does she think this is a famous scenic spot or a star-rated hotel? It's so expensive, 500 a day for a room?

Liu Wenying picked up his mobile phone, scanned the QR code, and paid the money.

"Brother Liu, I transferred the money from me and Xiang Jin to you." Kong Nianren said with a smile, but his heart was bleeding.

When Kong Nianren carried the suitcase to the second floor, he saw a man and a woman talking in the corridor. After seeing Kong Nianren walking up, he stopped talking and looked at him from the corner of his eye.

This change was so sudden that even an insensitive person like Kong Nianren could feel it.

While Kong Nianren and the others came up, they were also observing the two young men.

"Where do you think we can find people from Teacher Xu's research team?" Kong Nianren said loudly to Xiang Jin on purpose.

It seems to have gotten this point over there, and the girl said loudly to the boy, "Where do you think we can find people from the [-]th Five-Year Plan?"

"We are from the Ninth Five-Year Plan. You are from Teacher Xu's research team?" Kong Nianren was overjoyed, he never expected to find it so quickly and smoothly.

All that's left is to keep these people from dying.

"That's great." The girl was so happy, "The sacrifice will start in a few days, and you haven't come yet, and you don't have your contact information yet."

"What will? How many of you? What are you here for? How many days do you plan to stay here?" Kong Nianren had too many questions, but he also realized that he asked too many questions at once.

"Which room do you live in? We'll go there after putting away our things." Xiang Jin said.

"Room 9, Teacher Xu's room number." The girl said.

After putting away his things, Kong Nianren was about to go out, but was dragged back by Xiang Jin.

He still wonders why Xiang Jin is so strong, pulling him is as easy as pulling a chick.

"Put the dagger on." Xiang Jin put the dagger into Kong Nianren's trouser pocket.

Kong Nianren squatted down, the dagger fell along, and he looked at Xiang Jin with innocent eyes.

"Just go to the room, what's the danger?" Kong Nianren asked.

"Then do you figure out if there is any danger?" Xiang Jin didn't let Kong Nianren carry it, but put it in one of the pockets of his trousers.

Kong Nianren pinched his fingers and calculated the good and bad, "There is no danger, let's go."

The other four people had already arrived, Zhang Yi leaned against the wall and said, "You two still want to stay in the room for a while?"

"That's right, do you want to hear how we both get tired of being crooked?" Whenever Kong Nianren talked to Zhang Yi, he would become as unprincipled as Zhang Yi.

"Speak out and listen?" Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows and said.

"Foretell the good and the bad." Xiang Jin looked at Zhang Yi and said.

Zhang Yi knew Xiang Jin's temperament and didn't want to play with him any longer, so he pointed his arms towards the woman on the chair and said, "This is the leader of the research team, Professor Xu."

"Professor Xu." Kong Nianren smiled at Teacher Xu.

"I'm not a professor, I'm just interested in the folk customs of various places." Teacher Xu smiled back at Kong Nianren, "This red-haired boy is my student Ding Mingfei, and the girl with glasses is Ning Sha. The one with curly hair is Li Jinglue. My name is Xu Yunlan."

After Teacher Xu finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and Kong Nianren and the others naturally said briefly what their name was.

"Can you protect us?" Little Red Hair asked.

Kong Nianren felt that apart from Liu Wenying, there was indeed no one who seemed capable of fighting.

"Isn't that more than enough?" Zhang Yi put his arms around Xiao Hongmao's shoulders, "Do you know what metaphysics is?" Zhang Yi pointed to Xiang Jin and said, "If nothing else, just say this brother, you didn't see him Does this look like strangers don’t get close? Ghosts have to go around when they see him.”

Kong Nianren felt that if Zhang Yi was allowed to blow like this, their credibility would only be lowered.

Kong Nianren dragged Zhang Yi over and said, "We do have our own abilities. As long as you listen to us and don't cause trouble, there is no problem in protecting everyone's safety."

"Mr. Xu, can you tell me what your plans are before October 10?" Xiang Jin asked while looking at Teacher Xu.

"We plan to participate in their sacrifice three days later, and stay for ten days to observe." Teacher Xu said.

"Observation? Why stop for ten days to observe." Zheng Yurong asked.

Teacher Xu opened a notebook and put it on the coffee table. There was a photo clipped on top of the notebook. The photo was very blurry, and only a little outline could be seen, as if someone was around a campfire and didn't know what they were doing.

"Wait a minute." Liu Wenying waved his hand to signal Teacher Xu not to speak, took out a detector from his pocket, walked around the room, finally stopped at the door, and pasted a talisman on the door.

"Teacher Xu, please continue." Liu Wenying signaled Teacher Xu to continue.

"You have also seen that now Tishanzi Village has always been welcoming to the outside world and has its own homestay. The sacrifice three days later is the biggest selling point for attracting people to visit for Tishanzi Village. The sacrifice is held every two years, and every time there is There are quite a lot of curious outsiders visiting. However, I suspect that the sacrifices shown to us are not real sacrifices, and the real sacrifices are being carried out secretly." Teacher Xu dragged the photo pinned on the paper to the middle of the coffee table, " This is a photo taken by my classmate last time, and he passed away 7 days after the photo was taken, and it was quite strange." Teacher Xu's voice trembled a little at this point, "We are here this time to know their real sacrifice What is it like."

"Are you sure it's not a real sacrifice based on a blurry photo?" Liu Wenying asked.

"And how he died." Teacher Xu's voice became more and more trembling, "His head was opened, and his head was empty."

Ning Sha put her hand on Teacher Xu's shoulder.

"It may also be murder." Liu Wenying continued to speak calmly.

Teacher Xu didn't speak, but turned a page forward, and there was a drawing of a creature that looked like a snake, a dragon, and a bird, just like the pattern on the stone bricks that Kong Nianren saw when he first entered the B&B.

The text below introduces this creature. This creature is called Zouye, and it is the sacred beast worshiped in Zheng Yurong Village.

Obviously, it is the country that protects the peace and prosperity of this village. It is not some divine beast that likes to eat human brains, but a ferocious beast.

Kong Nianren thought indignantly.

Peace is maintained by the state, and poverty alleviation is supported by policies. The asphalt roads, street lamps, and paintings on the walls are not paid for by the state. In the end, instead of thanking the state, we have to worship a "divine beast" that eats human brains, and thank it ?

"Even so, it is also possible that there may be homicides and imitation crimes." Liu Wenying said.

Kong Nianren felt that Liu Wenying was a little too cautious. Since it has become the checkpoint they need, there must be a supernatural event.

"I've seen too many human beings blame ghosts." Liu Wenying seemed to be interested in everyone's questions, "Since our mission is to protect you, I hope you don't act alone."

Zhu Ni squatted beside the bed, took out the tarot cards from her bag, and fiddled with them on the bed.

"After 4 days, you are in danger." Zhu Ni pointed to the red-haired boy and said, "You are also in danger." Zhu Ni then pointed to the little girl wearing glasses, "You are also in danger." Zhu Ni pointed to Teacher Xu again, and then Pointing to the curly-haired boy, "You are also in danger."

"You just say that we are all in danger, isn't that all right?" Hongmao's tone was full of doubts.

"Zhu Ni is right, you are all in danger." Kong Nianren continued, in order for them to cooperate better in the future, "If you are not in danger this time, you will not invite us, if you want to experience our ability , we don't mind either."

"Ding Mingfei, you have a younger sister, right? Your father is a soldier, and your mother works in literature." Kong Nianren looked at Xiao Hongmao and said, "I'm right."

"You investigated me?" Little Red Hair was a little annoyed.

"It's just a little bit of reading." Kong Nianren said, "I'm just a not-so-sophisticated fortune-teller. Your lifeline will indeed be damaged after 4 days, but as long as you listen to us, you will have no problem keeping your life alive." Legs, there is no way, they sometimes don't take good care of them.

Kong Nianren didn't say this.

Xiang Jin picked up the pen on the table at the right time, pushed it lightly with his thumb, and the pen broke into several pieces, adding a lot of credibility to Kong Nianren's words.

Liu Wenying took out four talisman papers and handed them to the four of them respectively, Kong Nianren glanced at them, it was safe.

Kong Nianren is very interested in Liu Wenying, and feels that he will be a very powerful existence.
