After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

Yan Shixun was already prepared before being drawn into the river, he silently recited the spell, and a thin layer of air flow floated around his body, preventing the river from actually touching him.

After all, it is not clear what the river brought down from the upstream—after touching the petals in his pocket and recovering his normal memory, Yan Shixun recalled that when he entered the mountain, the guide said that the river water was good for him. Because minerals are brought down from upstream.

With the current situation in Changshou Village, Yan Shixun doesn't believe in any minerals, but believes in another truth hidden under this sentence.

——There is a problem with the water in the river because something upstream has melted into the water.

Yan Shixun deliberately relaxed his muscles, allowing the river to engulf him and rush towards an unknown direction.

Want to find spiders?

Follow the spider web and it will be a breeze.

Yan Shixun curled his lips and closed his eyes calmly.

All I could hear was the loud sound of water flowing.

He could feel himself rising and falling with the waves, falling rapidly and then being swept into the air with the huge waves, then descending rapidly, falling heavily into the deep river bottom.

When the thin light was perceived by the eyeballs through the eyelids, in Yan Shixun's ears, the crisp sound of birdsong also replaced the sound of water, which was pleasant and ethereal.

The dark fragrance floating in the air is refreshing.

Yan Shixun trembled his eyelashes, and slowly opened his eyes.

Different from the darkness and coldness of Changshou Village after losing the sun, the place in front of him was full of bright sunshine, and clusters of chrysanthemums bloomed along the river, with yellow and white petals scattered by the river, floating down with the water.

When seeing the petals, Yan Shixun suddenly frowned.

The petals are downward, which means that the water is also downward, but now he is lying on his back on the river... but he is floating upward.

Yan Shixun turned over from the river to stand firm with a carp, and stepped on the bottom of the river with both feet accurately, without being disturbed by the washing of the water waves and the smooth and huge rocks at the bottom of the river.

He looked around and saw the whole picture of where he was now.

Whether it is the travel notes and evaluations of Changshou Village on the Internet over the past few decades, or the guide's introduction, they all praise Changshou Village as a good place like a paradise.

But at this time, Yan Shixun felt that what was presented in front of him was the Peach Blossom Spring.

The sun shines through the luxuriant branches, forming beautiful light and shadows on the ground, while the crisp and melodious birdsong comes from a distance, echoing in the empty valley, but no bird feathers.

There is no withering and death here, only vitality.

Yan Shixun stretched his long legs and walked towards the river bank.

He stretched out his hand to brush the blooming chrysanthemums by the river, and the moment his nimble fingers touched the petals, he folded them into his palm, then leaped up as if nothing had happened, and landed on the river bank with agility and lightness.

Because of the protection of the spell, Yan Shixun was not wet by the river.

However, the moment he landed, he could clearly feel that when he did not take the initiative to remove the effect of the spell on his body, the thin barrier between him and the river was like ice. The shell quickly melted away as if placed under the sun.

Yan Shixun's eyes sank, he stood still, and turned to look at the river.

The river water in Changshou Village is crystal clear when the sun is shining, without any impurities.After the sun goes down, chrysanthemums cover the river, and rotting corpses are hidden underneath.

Either way, it is not a common sight that will appear in daily life.

But the river water here seems to be nothing more than ordinary.

Scattered chrysanthemum petals float on the water, refracting different light with the swaying of the sun, and the swaying light and shadow are as clear and beautiful as crystal.

It is vainly pleasant to see.

If the tranquility of Changshou Village gave Yan Shixun a false sense of peace, then here, on the contrary, it looks like a real place of "longevity", and there seems to be nothing to worry about.

If Yan Shixun hadn't been carrying a spell on his body when he came, and the spell had melted for no reason the moment he landed, maybe he would have believed in the beautiful scene in front of him more.

Unfortunately……

Yan Shixun snorted coldly, his eyes were cold.

He turned around calmly and walked forward.

Behind the woods along the river bank, there are several wooden houses, which look very similar to those in Changshou Village.

There are also hand-woven folk ornaments hanging on the small building, which are similar to the styles of the proprietress of the homestay outside the mountain.

But the difference is that the proprietress has a variety of colors in her hands, and the colorful looks will make you feel good.But here, there are only monotonous white and yellow colors.

When he was outside the mountain, Nan Tian introduced these folk ornaments to the guests, each of which has a different meaning.

Although Yan Shixun was not interested at that time, but the wind brought Nan Tian's voice over, he still subconsciously listened to the whole process.

Yan Shixun narrowed his eyes, carefully distinguishing the decorative fabrics, and read the meaning of those patterns.

newborn.

Whether it is in the hands of the proprietress or in Changshou Village, most of the fabrics are more common meanings such as "safety", "auspiciousness" and "happiness". Although there are other patterns mixed in, the same patterns as here are rarely seen. , so it took Yan Shixun some time to make him recognize it.

But Yan Shixun also remembered, Nan Tian introduced that white represents rest, and yellow represents blessings.

... use these two colors to weave the meaning of "new life"?

According to Nantian's statement, it means that he has only a half-knowledge of this folk custom, so he matched the wrong patterns and colors.

When he got closer, Yan Shixun found that this place seems to love chrysanthemums, not only in the river, but even under the trees are blooming chrysanthemums.

Even along the outer wall of the small wooden building, there are clusters of yellow and white flowers.

There seemed to be no one in the small wooden building.

At Yan Shixun's distance, he couldn't hear any sound coming from the small wooden building.

However, there are wooden barrels and other daily necessities on the ground outside the small wooden building, which proves that there are indeed people living here.

Even the audience squatting in front of Yan Shixun's split screen couldn't help but sigh in admiration for such a scene.

[This is the hermit life in the dream...]

[Is this also Longevity Village?Always feel different? ]

[Strange, isn't Brother Yan not in the small wooden building?I cut to the main screen to take a look, and now there are stars and the others.Where is Yan Ge? ]

[Is my network bad? Why did the screen go black for a long time?When Brother Yan went ashore, the live broadcast on my side resumed. ]

[Me too, I also thought it was my problem, now it seems to be a live broadcast problem? ]

[Brother Yan fell into the water just now, maybe the lens was flooded at that time?I don't know, I guess. ]

[I took a look at the travel notes posted by the photographer who settled in Changshou Village, and there are several photos in it that are similar to this scene, so this should also be Changshou Village, right?After all, the photographer lived here. ]

[Maybe a village is divided?Our village is divided into two parts by the mountain, and only a few families live on the other side. ]

[Woo, this is the paradise in my heart!If you have a chance, you must go, it looks so beautiful now! ]

[…Aren't any of you aware of the problem with the sun?Changshou Village is clearly dark, why is there a sun here?Regardless of whether it is a mountain or not, the sun should always be unified! ]

[Fuck, I really didn't notice this problem, my hairs stand up when you say it.yes!What's up with the sun?It is obviously afternoon in other places and it is dark in Changshou Village, so why does it look like morning here? ]

Yan Shixun was about to step forward when he suddenly heard a voice.

"who are you?"

The young and clean girl's voice came from behind him.

But... Before the girl made a sound, he didn't even notice that someone was approaching him!

Yan Shixun's pupils constricted, but he quickly adjusted his emotions in the short moment of turning around, and looked back calmly.

The young girl in coarse sackcloth tilted her head and looked at him curiously with her big watery eyes.

Yan Shixun's eyes quickly swept over the girl.

After the memory was no longer disturbed, it seemed that the frosted glass that had been placed in front of him was taken away, and his vision became clear again.

After leaving Changshou Village, Yan Shixun thought back to the villagers he had seen at that time, and all the strange things that had been kept in his heart but repeatedly forgotten all came back to his mind.

Although the old man who received them said that everyone in Changshou Village is over a hundred years old, and Yan Shixun also saw with his own eyes that they walked like flying and were as strong as young people.But now that I think about it, that kind of vitality and youthfulness seems false precisely because it is too perfect.

It seems that a photo that has been edited too much is beautiful at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, you will gradually realize that it is not the real appearance at all.

The old people always have smiles on their faces, live a leisurely life, and nothing seems to bother them.

But they don't have the breath of life that normal people would have.

The girl who silently appeared behind Yan Shixun was different from the villagers he had seen in Changshou Village before, full of vitality, and closer to the ordinary people who could be seen at any time before entering the mountain.

"I haven't seen you in the village, who are you?"

Seeing that Yan Shixun didn't answer, the girl patiently repeated her question.

Yan Shixun collected himself, and without knowing the girl's identity, he didn't directly explain his identity.

He pointed to the river not far away, and made up nonsense without changing his face: "I lost my way in the mountains. I thought I could get out of the mountains by walking along the river, but ended up here."

"Excuse me, what is this place? What is the village called?"

The girl seemed a little hesitant after hearing Yan Shixun's words. She turned her head to look at the river that was still flowing cheerfully, bit her lips, and her expression wavered for a moment.

But it seemed that she thought of something else, and she quickly made up her mind amidst the entanglement.

"This is Longevity Village."

The girl seemed a little anxious, and took a step forward to approach Yan Shixun.

But before she could say anything, a burst of hearty laughter came from the small wooden building.

"Sister, is there a guest here?"

Yan Shixun saw that when the male voice sounded, the girl's eyes changed instantly, as if she had collected all her emotions, and she was no longer as kind and unguarded as before.

He turned around and followed the sound, and saw a man coming out of the small wooden building, holding a wooden basin full of food in his hand, full of life.

On the other hand, the man is wearing folk bunts, and his strong and powerful muscles are the result of years of physical labor.He had a clean and clean smile on his dark tanned face, showing a mouthful of white teeth, with a simple and honest appearance.

No matter how you look at it, men don't seem like the kind of people who would make girls so wary.

Besides, the man called the girl "sister" just now, even if they are not biological siblings, they should be acquaintances.

Yan Shixun frowned imperceptibly, and nodded to the man with a light smile: "I got lost here, may I ask if you are..."

The man walked over without seeing anyone, and said with a smile, "My name is Liu Ming, and I live in this village."

"However, the location of our village is a bit off. If you get lost, it will be difficult."

Liu Ming scratched his head and thought about it: "Why don't you live in our village first, and when we have something to leave the village tomorrow, we will send you out together."

Liu Ming's sincere smile does not seem to be fake, it looks sincere and enthusiastic, as if he is really thinking about Yan Shixun.

But Yan Shixun is not worried about whether Liu Ming has other ideas, rather, the current situation is exactly what he wants to see.

Before the guide dies, he must pay attention to the upper reaches of the river, and this village happens to be in the upper reaches—even coincidentally, it is also called Longevity Village.

Yan Shixun didn't think it was really a coincidence.

Since you want to find out the anomalies in Changshou Village, you must go deep into the tiger's den and observe closely to find out the truth.

His thoughts quickly turned around, and he pretended to hesitate for two seconds before he nodded and said to Liu Ming: "Then I will trouble you."

Hearing Yan Shixun's answer, Liu Ming was very happy, and he enthusiastically led Yan Shixun towards the small wooden building.

"Ayu, you should hurry home too, you never know when he will find you."

Before leaving, Liu Ming seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around and shouted at the girl: "If he can't see you, he will be angry again."

Yan Shixun noticed that when that person was mentioned, the girl's complexion obviously became unattractive, and she even forced a smile.

The girl responded, stirring with her fingers crampedly, and left in a hurry.

"Is that person called Ayu?"

Yan Shixun watched the girl's movements, secretly noted the direction she left, and then made a curious look, and asked Liu Ming: "I saw that you just called her sister, and thought you were a family. "

Liu Ming smiled and said: "No, all of us know Ayu, she is a rare girl in our village, so we habitually call her sister."

"what is your name?"

Liu Ming asked: "Looking at your appearance, you are from outside the mountain, right?"

Yan Shixun nodded, and did not hide the matter: "My surname is Yan, you can call me whatever you want."

After all, the village doesn't look that big, and you can see the end at a glance. In this kind of place, everyone knows everyone. Even if he said that he didn't come from outside the mountain, it was just a clumsy lie that could be broken with a poke, and it was completely unnecessary.

Besides, Yan Shixun was still waiting for the villagers to do something to him because of his status as "a man from outside the mountain".

With no one in the program group around, Yan Shixun had no worries and didn't have to worry about the safety of everyone in the program group, so he naturally acted freely.

Liu Ming is a talkative person, enthusiastic and hearty, and has no intention of hiding Yan Shixun's problems, and even took the initiative to introduce Yan Shixun to the village.

According to Liu Ming, there are not many people in their Longevity Village, because they are located in the deep mountains, and it takes a long time to walk out of the mountains and they may get lost, so after trying twice when they were young, they all gave up and lived safely. Live a leisurely life in the village.

Fortunately, everything in the village is self-sufficient, and there is no difference in living.

While speaking, Liu Ming led Yan Shixun to his house.

"Guest, sit here for a while. I'll ask the village chief to see what he means."

Liu Ming put down the vegetables in his hand, wiped his hands and was ready to go out.

Yan Shixun stopped him curiously: "Why do you ask the village chief? I can sleep at your house for one night, and I will leave tomorrow as you said."

In an ordinary village, I have never seen anyone ask the village chief what he wants before keeping guests at home.

Liu Ming explained: "Because there will be monsters coming to attack the village in the mountains, so in order to ensure everyone's safety, and in case monsters sneak into the village, you have to ask the village chief first about everything."

monster?Infiltrate the village?

Yan Shixun's eyes dimmed slightly.

It is not that there are no villages that are in danger of being attacked by wild beasts in the mountains, but normal people would not call wild beasts monsters, and wild beasts would not "mix" into the village.

Judging from the meaning in Liu Ming's words, that thing might enter the village in human form, otherwise, why did he say that the village head should be informed of the guests?

The monster in Liu Ming's mouth...what the hell is it?

Yan Shixun nodded naturally, without any problem on his face: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

He stood at the door and watched the direction Liu Ming was leaving, and found that he was walking in the same direction as the girl named Ayu before.

It wasn't until Liu Ming's figure turned around the corner of the house and disappeared from his field of vision that Yan Shixun calmly withdrew his eyes and checked his surroundings.

As Liu Ming said, there are very few people in this longevity village.

However, there are many houses.

From Yan Shixun's point of view, the surrounding open land extends to the foot of the mountain not far away, all of which are small wooden buildings of the same style.

At first glance, it looks like a small holiday villa built by a developer outside the mountain, neat and tidy.

It doesn't look like a house built by the villagers in a folk village, but it looks like a product on an assembly line.

Yan Shixun roughly estimated that there could be hundreds of buildings.

But most of these houses are unoccupied.

Yan Shixun didn't even need to go inside the small wooden building to figure it out.

——The facades of most of the small wooden buildings have been severely corroded by wind and rain, and weeds and moss are covered with wooden structures, which look so decayed that they will collapse soon.

There are even a few small wooden buildings that seem to have been covered by green plants because of their age, and they are empty and creepy.

In the middle of the severely corroded small wooden buildings, there are a few sporadic ones that still have traces of life, and the outside is very clean. These houses are also uniformly decorated with yellow and white fabrics, which flutter gently when the mountain wind blows. .

Yan Shixun identified it, and found that those fabrics all symbolized "new life".

In this Longevity Village, not only the small wooden buildings are uniform, but even the decorations are so consistent.

However, even though it was still a day when the sun was shining brightly, there was no sound of people in the village, and no one was seen walking by.

Only the sound of wind, water, and birdsong.

Yan Shixun supported the door frame and stood quietly at the door for a moment, then turned and walked towards the small wooden building.

That willow name...

Yan Shixun didn't know if it was his own illusion, he actually felt that Liu Ming's face looked familiar, he seemed to have seen this face somewhere.

Moreover, the southern regions have their own dialects, even if they speak Mandarin, they will more or less have some accents that Yan Shixun can easily distinguish.

It's like a guide and the lady boss outside the mountain.

As for Changshou Village in the lower reaches of the river, the old people there have a stronger accent.

Yan Shixun speculated that they should have learned some Mandarin to facilitate daily communication because of the large number of tourists coming and going.

But what about the Longevity Village on the upper reaches of the river?

Mingming Liu Ming introduced himself that the people in the village have never been out, and have always been in the mountains.

But he himself speaks standard Mandarin.

Even Yan Shixun could hear some Binhai accent in it.

Although there is only an imperceptible point, like an ice cube that will soon melt, it is there.

——Why do people in the mountains have accents from other regions?

Yan Shixun had doubts about Liu Ming, but he didn't show it.

No matter how friendly Liu Ming was, all kinds of doubts still did not make Yan Shixun let down his guard.

It wasn't until Liu Ming left that he frowned and began to look at Liu Ming's house, trying to find something from it.

On the other side, after Ayu left, he hurried to his house.

After stepping through the door, she ran directly to the blind corner under the stairs of the small building.

In the dark shadows where the sun cannot reach, there is a small wooden door that is easily overlooked, just hidden under the stairs.

The door was so small that only children and small adults could get through.On the doorknob that had been worn smooth, thick and heavy chains were wrapped round and round.

Ayu took out the key from the pocket of her skirt, knelt down and skillfully opened the chain.

But before opening the small door, Ayu hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and pulled it open.

The smell of damp and fishy smell rushed over immediately.

……

Liu Ming quickly ran back.

When he stepped through the door, Yan Shixun sat on the chair at the door, as if he had been waiting here quietly for a long time.

"Don't worry, guest, the village head said yes."

Liu Ming smiled brightly: "And the village head also said that he is willing to let you live with him."

"I don't have any good things to entertain here, and the house is also simple. It's different at the village chief's place. His conditions are much better than mine."

Liu Ming explained: "The location of our village is very remote. It is fate that you can come here as a guest. You can't neglect the guests."

Yan Shixun nodded, got up and followed Liu Ming to the village chief's house.

"However, your village is already self-sufficient. Is there anything you need to leave the village for?"

Yan Shixun asked: "It's not easy to get out of the mountain from here, is it? I will trouble you to give me a ride tomorrow."

Speaking of tomorrow's event, Liu Ming became visibly excited.

"Good things, especially important good things."

Yanagi's dark wheat-colored cheeks flushed with excitement, he rubbed his hands together, looking like he couldn't wait.

"After tomorrow, maybe there will be new life in the village."

Liu Ming happily invited Yan Shixun: "If the guests are curious, I will ask the village chief. If the village chief agrees, you can also visit."

Doubts floated in Yan Shixun's heart.

Generally, when a new life appears, it is all about pregnancy and childbirth, but Liu Ming's words mean that this is not only a very grand event, but it can only be done out of the village.

Two things that sound unrelated, why are they the same thing in Liu Ming's mouth?And also used the description "maybe".

Is the new life still possible to die?

Before Yan Shixun saw anyone looking forward to the birth of a new life, he already counted death among the possibilities.

——No one would tell a pregnant woman that the child might not be born.

Even Lu Xingxing couldn't say that.

Even though Yan Shixun was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, he just thanked Liu Ming calmly, saying that he was very curious and wanted to watch tomorrow's grand event.

While talking, the two had already walked into the village for a long time, passing through the small wooden buildings where no one lived.

Yan Shixun's eyes kept scanning the small wooden buildings on both sides.

Because it is a wooden structure, it is very easy to be damp and rot in places with high humidity.

On the upper reaches of the river, Changshou Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is a river passing by. The moisture in the village cannot be dispersed, and it has been accumulated in the village. The humidity is so heavy that Yan Shixun can feel the water vapor even when he breathes.

He only stayed in the village for a short while, and he felt that his clothes had become damp from the outside to the inside.

It's like putting on clothes in a hurry after washing without drying them. They are wet against the skin, and even the skin lines are softened, making people very uncomfortable.

And the further you go into the village, the stronger this feeling becomes.

Yan Shixun even felt that he was not walking on land, but still in the water.

In such an environment, small buildings with wooden structures cannot escape the erosion of water vapor.

If people live in it, many people will paint varnish on the wood to prevent corrosion, and repair it in time when it is damaged.

However, the small wooden buildings that Yan Shixun saw along the road were all decayed, and some of them made an overwhelmed "creak, creak" sound, which made people worry that the small wooden buildings would collapse in the next moment.

However, through the windows of the small wooden building, one can vaguely see traces of life inside.

The pots and pans are neatly arranged, and the furniture and items are all in the place where they should be.Although it was covered with dust, it was still tidy, as if the owner had taken good care of the residence, but he never expected that after going out one time, he never came back.

As a result, the small wooden building and the items inside were all decayed in the moisture of the water vapor during the long waiting time.

"There are so many houses in the village, why don't many people live there?"

Yan Shixun made a curious look and asked Liu Ming: "Isn't it possible to go out of the mountains to work? Didn't you just say that no one in the village goes out of the mountains?"

Liu Ming nodded, although there was regret on his face, he was not sad.

He seems to have gotten used to it.

"What's good outside the mountains? Or the comfortable life in the village."

Liu Ming glanced at the small wooden building next to him, and said indifferently, "They didn't make it through, so of course they don't have the right to stay."

Yan Shixun was shocked.

But before he could ask Liu Ming again, the corner of his eye suddenly saw something white under the small wooden building.

So the line of sight that had already been swept away swept back again, looking at the absolutely abnormal place just now.

Then Yan Shixun saw that under the half-meter overhead floor of the small wooden building, a part of the finger bone was faintly exposed.

The pale finger bones fell into the wet soil, half buried in it, and the whole picture could not be discerned, and they were covered by shadows.

If it weren't for this point that white is incompatible with the environment, Yan Shixun would not have noticed it.

Liu Ming just said, it's not enough... There are human hand bones here again.

Yan Shixun lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotion in his pupils.

"Can't make it through", it means... Will people who can't make it through die?

The village head's house is close to the foot of the mountain, but far away from the river. They have to cross half of the village to get there.

After realizing that there were people who lived in Changshou Village but had died, Yan Shixun became more vigilant.

He cleverly concealed the question he really wanted to ask between other words, or deliberately said the wrong answer, and then waited confidently for Liu Ming to refute him.

Under such insinuation, Yan Shixun asked many things from Liu Ming.

For example, Changshou Village will hold grand sacrificial activities every four solar terms, and after the sacrifice, new lives may appear in Changshou Village, become their neighbors, and live leisurely in the village with them.

And tomorrow is the winter solstice sacrifice.

And, according to Liu Ming, tomorrow will be the most solemn sacrifice in the history of Changshou Village.

The love and protection of the gods will come to the village, and bless them never to be threatened by birth, old age, sickness and death, and there will be no pain in their lives.

Yan Shixun still had a polite smile on his handsome face, but his heart was already turbulent.

As long as we are human, there will be times when we will face birth, old age, sickness and death. Although the experience is painful, it is because of the pain that we are alive.

But Liu Ming said that the gods will protect Changshou Village from these things.

"I didn't expect that the village still believed in God?"

Yan Shixun pretended to be completely ignorant of ghosts and gods, and asked Liu Ming, "Which god do you believe in? Why haven't I seen any statues enshrined?"

Speaking of gods, Liu Ming straightened his back proudly and said, "We don't need to worship gods."

"God is with us, and He is always there to bless us."

While talking, the two had already passed through the village.

Liu Ming stopped in front of a small wooden building.

"This is the village chief's house." Liu Ming pointed to Yan Shixun at the small wooden building behind him: "It happens that there is another guest here, and we can send you out of the mountain together tomorrow."

"The condition of the village chief's house is very good, and there are meat to eat, so you can rest assured to sleep here for a night."

Yan Shixun looked up, then his pupils suddenly shrank, horrified by the scene in front of him.

Everything you can see is white.

There are pure white curtains hanging everywhere on the small wooden building, and those rough white cloths are blown gently by the mountain wind, rolling in the air.

At first glance, it looks like a mourning hall.

The folk decorations that are found in other small wooden buildings are also found here.

It's just that it's pure white.

And different from the meaning of "new life" represented by the fabric patterns of other small wooden buildings, Yan Shixun discovered the meaning of these fabrics after identifying them...

is death.

white death.

Seeing Yan Shixun standing where he was and not stepping forward, Liu Ming didn't feel that he was frightened at all, instead he asked with a smile, "Isn't the environment in the village chief's house much better than mine?"

"This is the best house in our village, guest, wait here, I'll call the village chief over here."

Saying that, Liu Ming didn't look at Yan Shixun's reaction any more, but ran into the small wooden building with big strides.

Only Yan Shixun was left alone, looking at Liu Ming's back with a rather complicated expression.

This environment... Applause?

Yan Shixun didn't think it was because of the different customs.

Before entering the mountain, he heard Nan Tian's introduction, and he himself knew a little about the southern region, knowing that white is also used to see off the dead here.

A place decorated like a mourning hall, but named by Liu...

Yan Shixun's first reaction was that Liu Ming's cognition had been changed.

Before Liu Ming left, because he doubted whether Liu Ming was really from the southerly area, Yan Shixun quickly and carefully checked Liu Ming's home.

If it is just a cursory scan, the things in Liuming's small wooden building are indeed in line with the identity of a villager in the mountains.

——If Yan Shixun didn't find the camera lens in the cabinet, he would think so.

Among the hand-sewn coarse linen clothes and rough daily necessities, the precious but dusty camera lens seemed so out of place.

Even outside the mountains, ordinary people's homes would not have such items.

Moreover, Yan Shixun carefully looked at the brand and model on the lens, and occasionally chatting with the cameraman in the program group, he recognized that this lens was a model that had been discontinued more than ten years ago.

At that time, the cameraman of the program team told Yan Shixun in an envious and longing tone that the price of a lens he particularly wanted was getting higher and higher after the production was discontinued, but there was still a price and no market, and he couldn't buy it even if he wanted to.

But such a precious lens is placed in the home of an ordinary villager at this time, stuffed in the corner of a cabinet that is not seeing the light of day, and seems to have been forgotten by the owner.

The doubts in Yan Shixun's heart were also answered at that time.

——Liu Ming, he is not the villager of Changshou Village that he himself said at all.

He came from outside the mountains, and had stayed in Binhai City for a long time, and he might even be from Binhai City, so he still has a Binhai accent until now.

Either Liu Ming was lying to him, or he had completely forgotten these things, and only thought that he had been in Changshou Village since he could remember, that's why he was so natural when talking about himself.

However, if Liu Ming is really deceiving Yan Shixun, then in Yan Shixun's view, Liu Ming's acting skills without any clues are enough to win the award, far better than the acting school of Zhao Zhen.

So... why did Liu Ming forget his original background?Moreover, he looks extremely respectful and dependent on Changshou Village, dismisses the outside of the mountain, and still believes in the so-called "God"?

Because of Ye Li's status, Yan Shixun also asked him why after a certain point in time, Taoist priests and exorcists could no longer invite gods smoothly.

The answer Ye Li gave at that time was that the gods died.

Yeli is already the only god under the Dao, and he is in charge of death.

Yan Shixun subconsciously chose to believe Ye Li, he didn't think Ye Li would lie to him.

That being the case, why is there another "God" in Liu Ming's mouth?

Is it similar to the Chumaxian outside Shanhaiguan, or an evil god like Yelangfeng, or other spirits and monsters?

Could it be that Liu Ming didn't know the difference, so he called it a god?

Or...

Yan Shixun looked at the small wooden building in front of him with calm eyes, and his brain was running fast all the time, connecting all the doubts from the time he followed the guide into the mountain, trying to find out the true identity of the "God".

However, there are still many fragments missing in the puzzle of thinking, and the key evidence that can prove his various guesses has never appeared, making it impossible for him to successfully spell out the complete truth.

Without making Yan Shixun wait too long, Liu Ming's figure quickly appeared at the door, and beside him was another person.

The man was wearing clothes outside the mountain, and he was handsome.

Yan Shixun regained his composure and broke away from his own thoughts, but when he looked at the man, he showed surprise.

"Nan Tian?"

Even Yan Shixun couldn't hold back his surprise for a moment.

Nan Tian, ​​who was still talking to Liu Ming with his head tilted, heard the voice, turned around subconsciously, and then saw Yan Shixun standing in front of the small building.

Yan Shixun is wearing a dark green coat, with a tall and slender body, like a long knife that will not bend in the face of any danger, with a reassuring and powerful aura.

When Nan Tian saw a familiar figure, his nose felt sour and his eyes were wet, and the heart that had been hanging all this time finally fell back into his chest.

He knew that with Yan Shixun around, he would be safe.

"Brother Yan!" Nan Tian looked excited.
