"Is there any corpse in the well at the east end of the village? If so, what was the cause of death?" Gu Nianchen asked.
"Oh, there is indeed a corpse." The land master closed his eyes and searched. After a moment, he told Gu Nianchen what happened in the well that day.
After listening to this, Gu Nianchen exchanged a few words with the God of Land and let him leave.
At this time, Gu Nianchen already knew the cause of death of this senior sister that day. The remaining thing was to investigate the cause of the incident, but in fact, he could only make a rough guess, so the only thing left was to verify it.
The reason why Gu Nianchen thought of seeking external assistance in this space was because of the information that 218 had investigated a few days ago.
This tree hole space was the cursed space back then and was not considered to be in the quick-travel space, so Gu Nianchen could exert some of his divine power here.
If this body didn't allow it, he could use all his divine power.
This also gave him great confidence, allowing him to protect Bai Luoyu and safely pass through the tree hole space.
The next morning, Bai Luoyu woke up and looked at the blue sky outside. His mood finally improved. Although he fell asleep last night, he still had nightmares all night.
But I still remember that Gu Nianchen always hugged me and wrapped me in his arms.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Gu Nianchen behind him and couldn't help but smile happily.
"What are you laughing at so early in the morning? Coward." Gu Nianchen started to tease Bai Luoyu, who suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's really scary. All the ghost movies I watched when I was a child were not as scary as this one. I was scared to death." Bai Luoyu thought of the man in green last night again, but because it was daytime, he was not scared to the point of trembling.
"Yeah, yes, it's all his fault for scaring people." Gu Nianchen nodded.
"Hey, you seem to be just trying to fool me." Bai Luoyu was a little annoyed. If it wasn't daytime, he really wanted to take Gu Nianchen with him and let the man in green scare Gu Nianchen as well.
Then he watched from the side as Gu Nianchen ran away in fear.
"How could that be? No." Gu Nianchen suppressed his laughter and shook his head to deny it. Bai Luoyu snorted and stood up.
"I won't bother with you. Let's go check it out quickly. The sooner we find out, the sooner we can leave."
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Gu Nianchen also stood up.
The two walked towards the village together. This space was also a low-level space. It was obvious at a glance that the people in front of them were all non-mission NPCs.
The two continued searching along every street, and finally found the opera house they were looking for on the southernmost street.
"Is this the place?" Bai Luoyu asked, pointing at the sign at the door.
"Well, let's go in and take a look." Gu Nianchen pulled Bai Luoyu in.
It was morning exercise time, and the disciples inside were all practicing. Just as Gu Nianchen was about to go inside, he heard someone shouting behind them, "What are you two doing? Our enrollment for this year is over. Come back tomorrow."
"Hello, old man, we would like to ask, is Yuehong here? I am her cousin, and my family asked me to come and see her." Gu Nianchen asked politely.
The name Yuehong was told to him by the God of Land, which meant that he skipped the previous collection of clues and came directly to the last place.
Bai Luoyu was confused and didn't realize anything was wrong. He just knew that he could pass the test by following Gu Nianchen.
Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Nianchen said, the old man's face suddenly changed, and then he made a strange gesture to Gu Nianchen, asking the two to follow him.
He brought Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu into the room, asked them to sit down, and took out Yuehong's indenture from the drawer.
"Yuehong disappeared two years ago. I have no idea where she went. This is her indenture. If you find her, please give it to her. If she wants to come back, I'll welcome her anytime. If she doesn't want to come back, it's not her fault. We are the ones who have let her down."
The old man handed Yuehong's indenture contract to Gu Nianchen and wiped the corner of his eyes.
Gu Nianchen took it in his hand and looked at the old man: "I don't know why she left? How can I say sorry?"
The old man sighed and began to tell what happened that year.
The story was very long and the old man did not hide anything. People who listened to it sighed deeply. They were supposed to be a perfect couple, but instead they became a pair of resentful lovers.
"Things in this world are really hard to understand." Bai Luoyu couldn't help but shed tears after hearing the last sentence.
"Well, so, you have to cherish the person in front of you." Gu Nianchen said to Bai Luoyu meaningfully.
They are actually just a thin layer of window paper away, but Bai Luoyu is thin-skinned, so Gu Nianchen didn't mention it easily.
"Nianchen." Bai Luoyu looked at Gu Nianchen.
"If we get through the Seven Tree Cave together, I want to tell you something very important." Bai Luoyu looked at Bai Luoyu with bright eyes.
"Okay." Gu Nianchen smiled happily and held Bai Luoyu's hand tighter.
Bai Luoyu lowered his head and continued, "If the tree hole behind is too difficult or too dangerous, please leave me alone and go out to help me take care of my mother, okay?"
Bai Luoyu had no confidence in himself at all. The reason why he said he would confess to Gu Nianchen after passing through the Seven Tree Cave was also to give himself some pressure and motivation.
Hope can support me to get through it. As long as I can get through it, I will have the chance to be with Gu Nianchen again and accompany my mother.
"We will definitely get through this together. Even if only one person can make it, it will definitely be you." Gu Nianchen always felt that this world was a little too unusual.
Being able to not suppress his divine power is undoubtedly a great help, but this is also what he is more worried about. Great help will definitely be accompanied by great risks.
Now Gu Nianchen knew the truth of everything and was waiting to hand in the task in the evening, so he took Bai Luoyu for a walk.
After arriving at this tree hole space, no other challengers were found, but Bai Luoyu's koi physique was verified again, and two more props were found.
It seemed like Bai Luoyu didn't even need to look for it, he could find it easily.
The two men returned to the land temple where they had been before to rest, and it was not until late at night that they set out to look for the man in green.
When the two walked over, they saw the man in green sitting on the well combing his hair just like last night.
This time he did not wait until Gu Nianchen and the others came closer before turning back, but watched Gu Nianchen and the others walk past from a distance.
Bai Luoyu looked over from a distance and found that his face was covered with oil paint, not the bloody face as before, and he felt a little relieved.
Follow Gu Nianchen and walk over.
"But have you found the murderer?" the man in green spoke, his voice still difficult to distinguish between male and female.
“Yes, it’s both far away and right before our eyes.”
Gu Nianchen nodded.
"Oh? Tell me about it." "If you're right, there's a prize. If you're wrong, you can go down and accompany Senior Sister."
The last sentence was spoken in the form of recitation, which made Bai Luo's hair stand on end.
