The man with the pigtails glanced at Village Chief Yao with great interest, smiled lightly and said: "Pingshan City in Central China Province is a plain area, and there are very few mountainous areas. Even if there are mountainous areas, they have all built roads that can accommodate vehicles."
Hearing this, Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows. This is indeed his hometown. Zhangjiawan Village, Zhangjiawan Town, where he grew up, is much more remote than Dageng Village. Even though it is so remote, it is still open to traffic.
Otherwise, Lin Qingling's car wouldn't be able to drive in and take Zhang Fan out.
"There is a reason why there is no highway here." The man with the pigtails continued.
"What's the reason?" Village Chief Yao asked immediately.
"We have opened up the relationship above, and we will not allow it to be opened." The man with the pigtails replied calmly.
"Why are you doing this? Do you know? You have harmed our village for generations! Without roads, it will be difficult for our material, economic and medical conditions to improve." Village Chief Yao said angrily.
"You deserve to bear this pain, who allowed your ancestors to make mistakes." The man with the pigtails said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan and Village Chief Yao's eyes flickered.
"Our ancestors made mistakes?" A look of doubt appeared on the face of Village Chief Yao.
"Yes." The braided man replied with certainty, "Besides, there is one thing you may not know about the punitive measures against your village. It also depends on the attachment of the villagers to the village."
Hearing this, Village Chief Yao became more and more confused.
"You only know that if you reveal things about the forbidden area to the outside world, the evil spirits will kill you. You only know that if you don't sacrifice the child's finger, the child will lose his life. What you don't know is that as long as you leave the village for more than two consecutive
Yue, anyone who leaves the village will die!" the man with the pigtails said coldly.
Hearing the braided man's words, a look of surprise appeared on Village Chief Yao's face. Two years ago, a child in his village was admitted to a university outside and left after the summer vacation. However, he did not come back during the winter vacation.
The parents went to the school to find him and learned that the child died in three months. Moreover, the cause of death was unknown, only that he died of a heart attack. The probability of a child in his twenties suffering from a heart attack was too small.
At that time, Village Chief Yao also vaguely guessed that the child's death was probably related to leaving the village, but he had no basis and was not sure.
"How can you be so cruel!" Village Chief Yao pointed at the braided man and scolded him angrily.
"Are we cruel? Haha..." The pigtailed man's face was full of disdain, "What are these punishments? Compared to what happened back then..."
Having said this, the man with the pigtails paused and did not continue.
At this time, Zhang Fan became more aware that this forbidden area or the entire tomb was not simple, and there were many things involved in it.
"If you don't want to die, and you don't want your village to perish, then don't insist on building this road. If you insist on building this road, everyone in your village will leave this world before this road is completed." The man with pigtails said
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the voice was filled with cold murderous intent.
"You..." Village Chief Yao pointed angrily at the braided man, and was so angry that he could not speak.
"Boy, I heard that you came here to seek money. Is that true?
"?" The braided man ignored Village Chief Yao and looked at Zhang Fan with a scrutinizing gaze.
Hearing the pigtailed man's question and looking at the pigtailed man's eyes, Zhang Fan was actually very nervous.
But he knew that the other party might be testing him and didn't know his true identity.
"Of course I came here to seek money. What else is worth risking my life for?" Zhang Fan replied very calmly.
"But I think you are a member of Xuanmen!" The man with pigtails looked at Zhang Fan and said with a smile.
Hearing what the braided man said, Zhang Fan smiled faintly and asked, "Oh? How did you know that I am a member of Xuanmen? Did you feel any special aura from me?"
When Zhang Fan asked these questions, his expression was calm, but his heart was extremely nervous. The two of them were in a stage of testing each other.
Hearing this, the braided man licked his tongue and did not answer Zhang Fan's words.
"Speak? Why don't you answer my question?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"There is nothing to answer. Since you are seeking wealth, I would like to advise you that it is best to leave here as soon as possible. Although there are many treasures here, they are definitely not within your reach." The man with the pigtails said with certainty.
"I really didn't expect that the mechanism on the suspension bridge was destroyed by you." The man with the pigtails muttered to himself,
The man with the pigtails arrived here today, so he only observed Zhang Fan's situation today. He did not know that Zhang Fan was a member of Xuanmen. His question to Zhang Fan just now was actually a lie to Zhang Fan.
He could not see that Zhang Fan had any strength, which meant that his Taoism had not reached the third level and could not break through the spiritual stone on Zhang Fan's body. Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, judging from his words, he should know the situation of the tombs relatively well.
The reason why he knew about Zhang Fan's kindness to the villagers of Dageng Village was because he had just found out from the villagers' mouths.
Zhang Fan just glanced at the man with pigtails and did not answer the man with pigtails.
"I saved your lives today. If it weren't for me, all four of you would have died." The man with the pigtails continued.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan's heart was slightly shaken, and he subconsciously said: "Are you following us?"
"I have been following you, you just didn't realize it." A look of pride appeared on the man's face.
"Did you also send the white-faced man to Village Chief Yao's house?" Zhang Fan asked immediately.
"Yes, I was the one who sent him to Village Chief Yao's house. At first I wanted to kill him and let you retreat, but in the end I relented and let him go and sent him to Village Chief Yao's house.
Home." The braided man answered truthfully.
"Why did you send him to Village Chief Yao's house?" Zhang Fan asked.
"I have something to ask Village Chief Yao." The man with pigtails replied.
"What are you asking?" Zhang Fan continued to ask.
"I want to ask Village Chief Yao two questions. Who killed the evil ghost guarding the gate of the forbidden area? How was the mechanism on the suspension bridge lifted?" The man with the pigtails directly said what he wanted to ask.
.
After hearing what the braided man said, Zhang Fan frowned slightly.
At the same time, Village Chief Yao cast his gaze on Zhang Fan, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
The braided man naturally noticed the look in Chief Yao's eyes and threatened in a cold voice: "You two, don't try to deceive me. If I know that you are deceiving me, don't blame me for being ruthless to your men."
