Village Chief Lu immediately chased in the direction where Old Lady Lu ran.
At this time, there were only the two of them left in this place.
No need to be sneaky when talking.
Zhang Meng began to speak to Gu Mingtai in a normal voice, "Gu Mingtai, do you think the mass drowning incident in this village is really related to this curse?"
Gu Mingtai shook his head. "It's hard to say, but I personally don't believe there are curses in this world. If there really were such a thing, the Lu Family Village has lived here for hundreds of years. Why didn't this curse happen earlier or later, but at this time? Also, it was clearly Grandpa who told those people to jump into the river. It has nothing to do with the curse they're talking about."
At this moment, Village Chief Lu walked out in a disheveled state.
"Sorry to have kept you two waiting for so long." After saying that, Village Chief Lu found a seat and sat down.
The atmosphere froze for a moment. Not long after, it was quickly broken by Village Chief Lu.
"The curse you two just mentioned actually does exist, but I don't know the details. I only heard the older generation in the village mention it when I was a child. It seems that a long time ago, a scholar from our Lujia Village met a girl from a foreign race when he went to the capital to take the imperial examination. The scholar and the girl fell in love at first sight and became husband and wife. Later, the scholar passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer. Since ancient times, men have been passionate. The scholar couldn't resist the temptation of the capital and married another woman there. The foreign woman was furious and finally burned herself and her two children to death. I heard that when she died, she cursed loudly in the sea of fire that all descendants of the people in Lujia Village would have a bad death."
After hearing this story, Zhang Meng immediately looked towards Gu Mingtai.
This man was actually right.
There really is no curse in this world.
After saying that, Village Chief Lu looked at Gu Mingtai and Zhang Meng with fear and asked, "Comrades, do you think this curse is related to the deaths of the villagers who jumped into the river?"
Gu Mingtai stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "It's irrelevant. It happened hundreds of years ago. If it was going to happen, it would have happened long ago. As for the people in your village jumping into the river, it might be related to the water you drink. Send a villager to take my people to collect water samples later."
"By the way, Village Chief Lu, has there ever been a person named Lu Tian in your village?"
"Yes, he is the ancestor of our Lu family. What's wrong?" Village Chief Lu looked at Gu Mingtai in confusion and asked.
"It's okay." Gu Mingtai answered as if nothing had happened.
When Zhang Meng heard what he said, she immediately looked at him in confusion.
When Village Chief Lu heard that it had nothing to do with the blocking spell, he immediately relaxed a lot, "That's good."
After leaving Lujia Village, Zhang Meng asked, "Gu Mingtai, you lied."
Gu Mingtai chuckled softly, "I know, but I can't tell them that those people's drowning was related to the ghosts in the underworld."
Zhang Meng touched his chin and thought about it, and suddenly felt that what he did was right.
"You just asked Village Chief Lu if he knew anything about Lu Tian?"
Gu Mingtai shook his head. "It's just a suspicion. I'm not entirely sure. I'll have to wait until I go back and ask Master before I can figure it out."
——
Soon, Ye Shiping followed Village Chief Lu to collect a bottle of drinking water for the village.
As soon as Shui Yicai came back, Gu Mingtai, the team leader, immediately announced that they would return to the capital.
Everyone was getting ready to do something, but when they heard him say he was going back, they were all stunned.
Wang Qingliu was pushed over by the crowd and asked Gu Mingtai, "Brother Gu, didn't we come here to find out why those people jumped into the river? Also, didn't you and Zhang Meng tell us that this village is full of ghosts? Are we leaving without checking it out?"
Gu Mingtai glanced at the other colleagues behind him and said, "Don't worry, you will have real things to do soon. Things here have been dealt with, and there is no need for us to stay here any longer."
Liao Qingting didn't understand, so she secretly walked over to Zhang Meng and asked in a low voice, "Zhang Meng, are we good friends?"
Zhang Meng nodded with a look of confusion on her face. "Of course, why do you ask?"
Liao Qingting secretly glanced at Gu Mingtai, and seeing that he didn't notice them, she continued, "Since we are good friends, then tell me quickly, why didn't we check here and just leave like this?"
Zhang Meng immediately lowered her voice and told her, "We've already checked. Those people were all taken away by the ghost messengers from the underworld. We in the mortal world can't do anything about it."
When Liao Qingting heard this, she was completely stunned. A soul-snatching messenger from the mortal world.
She had only heard of it before, but had never seen it.
By the time she came to her senses and continued to ask Zhang Meng what the soul-catcher from the underworld looked like, Zhang Meng had already gotten into the car.
Seeing this, Liao Qingting stomped her feet in frustration and got into the car that was about to leave.
Once they arrived in the capital, everyone returned to their respective nests.
The same thing happened to the young couple. As soon as they returned to the Gu family courtyard, Gu Mingtai immediately turned around to ask Monk Jingchen for advice.
