The figure walking out of the corn leaves in front of him was none other than Old Man Liu.
His eyes were cloudy, which made him look a bit scary in the dark night.
Now that things have happened, Qianye doesn't need to pretend to be respectful. The two of them have simply exchanged hands with each other anyway, so he can just express what is deep in his heart.
"You are really brave. Didn't I tell you not to come out at night?" Old Man Liu looked at Qianye from bottom to top, with no trace of what he was thinking.
"No need to beat around the bush, you know what I am here to do. If there is nothing else, please take the first step."
Qianye didn't want to cause trouble with Liu Qinshan at this time.
The situation of An Yu and the old lady is still unclear. If the delay continues, they may encounter some accidents.
After finishing his words, Qianye didn't plan to stay too long. He turned sideways and planned to pass by Old Man Liu and walk deeper into the Baomi Forest.
"The person you are looking for is at my place now." However, Old Man Liu's words made him stop.
Qianye was confused and turned his head to look at Liu Qinshan strangely.
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't think too much, it's just the literal meaning." Liu Qinshan said slowly, while looking at the surrounding environment, "They were targeted by evil spirits. If I hadn't come faster, you would have lost two more relatives."
"There is no need to look for them. Go to my place. Their situation is not very good. Besides, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Those evil spirits are not as easy to deal with as you think."
Finished.
Liu Qinshan walked towards the outside of Baomi Di without looking back. He didn't seem to care whether Qianye was willing to believe him or not. He stepped on the gravel on the road and hurried home...
Believe it or not?
Qianye stood there and thought for two seconds, and finally decided to follow.
At least for now, he can't think of Liu Qinshan's purpose of deceiving him in this matter. An Yu and the old lady are just two simple characters to Liu Qinshan.
If the other party really has no good intentions, then An Yu and the old lady should have encountered something unexpected now, and jumping out now is just superfluous...
...
It's still that familiar road, still that familiar house.
Before entering the house, Qianye noticed the black dog lying at the door.
The black dog seemed not to see him, turned around, and continued sleeping on his stomach without making any movement.
Following Liu Qinshan, Qianye did not relax his vigilance much.
This weird Taoist priest knows all the methods that he has never seen before and is not familiar with.
Being able to fight with only some talismans and weird abilities is a relatively remarkable character in a way...
Just when I opened the door.
What came into view was An Yu and the old lady lying on the bed.
The two seemed to be asleep, lying on the bed without any movement or reaction...
Until Qianye walked to the side, they still looked like that.
"this......"
However.
The difference was that An Yu's eyes were covered with a piece of white cloth at the moment. The white cloth was soaked with red blood, and the middle part was already blood red, which made people feel horrified.
"Your grandma is fine. She just has a minor illness. I've already seen her."
"It's just that your sister... really walked out of hell this time. I spent a lot of effort to save her life."
"These eyes are a small price to pay."
Liu Qinshan was explaining from the side.
He handed Qianye a cup of tea at the bedside, but Qianye had no intention of drinking tea at this time.
After taking the cup, he felt that everything was a bit dreamy. Looking at An Yu's eyes that were frightened by evil spirits, he felt mixed emotions...
Yes, the relationship between the two is not that good.
But after spending so much time together, he reluctantly regarded An Yu as a friend.
This girl has a lively personality and is very similar to "Youma" in some aspects. She has followed him like a follower since she entered the world of horror. It's not like Qianye doesn't understand what the other person is thinking.
He is slow, not an idiot...
Although An Yu never took the initiative to pierce the window paper, he also knew that the other party definitely didn't mean anything to him.
"In other words, her eyes were damaged by evil spirits, right?" Qianye looked at An Yu sleeping, his eyes lingering on the white cloth covering her eyes for a long time.
"I think I made it very clear just now." Liu Qinshan did not answer directly, but just said this.
"Is there a cure?"
Hearing this, Liu Qinshan took a serious look at Qianye, and then smiled helplessly or whether it was ridicule or helplessness: "Cure it? Do you think I can give people living bones?"
"Her eyes are gone, and she's not injured. How can I treat her?"
That means there is nothing we can do...
to be honest.
Qian Ye felt depressed when he heard the news. He didn't expect that the girl who was dancing around him a few hours ago would lose her eyes in the next moment.
but......
According to Liu Qinshan, this is indeed a blessing among misfortunes.
Compared to losing his eyes, Anyu's life was saved.
Any injuries sustained in the horror world will be restored to their original state after returning to reality.
In other words, the main thing is to ensure that Anyu leaves the horror world alive, and her eyes will be restored to their original state...
Chino has never been a hypocritical person.
Putting aside the accident that happened between the old lady and An Yu, he turned to look at Old Man Liu and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that as long as you don't go out at night and just stay in the house, everything will be fine? The black dog didn't do anything.
, then how could they encounter evil spirits?"
Hearing this, Liu Qingshan coughed twice.
For some reason, Qianye always felt that he seemed much older than before and no longer had the same feeling as when they first met.
After picking up the tea in the cup and taking a few sips, Old Man Liu exhaled heavily and explained.
"I didn't expect everything to happen so fast and this day to come so suddenly."
Qianye did not interrupt, but chose to listen to the other party silently.
The development of the plot seems to be reaching a climax, and he has some bad premonitions...
"Do you still remember what you asked me? Will the evil spirit break through the barrier one day and enter this village?" Liu Qinshan turned around and pointed at Qianye with his index finger.
"My answer... is!"
"The original intention of raising Heizi was to hope that it could continue to protect the village after I passed away, so I did not hesitate to use human life to feed it. I just wanted to provide a guarantee for the village." Old Man Liu retracted his hand and put it behind his back.
He walked slowly to the window and looked out.
"But looking at it now, I was still a step too slow in my calculations."
"Those evil spirits are growing very fast. Let alone raising Heizi, even if I am still standing here, they are already showing signs of infiltrating the village..."
"The accident that happened to your sister and grandma today is a turning point. After the evil spirits succeed, they will only become more and more fierce."
"The village may not be able to be saved. Everything happened too fast..."
Sure enough, what is supposed to come will still come.
Qianye had predicted before that the climax of the story in this script would be that evil spirits invaded the village and then started killing people brutally.
At that time, unless the ability to modify the plot is used, it may be even harder to prevent this tragedy.
Liu Qinshan's ability is not small, even slightly higher than Qianye's, although there are factors of mutual restraint...
But even Old Man Liu sighed like this.
Then Qianye estimated that his situation would not be much better.
"So, the purpose of you calling me here is to inform me and prepare me mentally so that I can die clearly?" Qianye guessed.
The other party had brought him here in Baomi before. It was impossible for him to just come and see how An Yu and the two were doing. He must be holding something else back in his heart...
"No, I think you misunderstood." Liu Qinshan replied, "I don't have such a bad taste to play these fancy tricks."
"The reason why I tell you this is just to let you inform the villagers and ask them to come to my house after dawn."
"The first mentality when facing difficulties is not to give up on yourself..."
Old man Liu is actually not in good health.
After saying so much, he couldn't help coughing twice.
After a pause, he added:
"Although I'm not very sure that I can save everyone, I still have to give it a try."
This was Liu Qinshan's last words.
Qianye understood the ins and outs of the whole thing and didn't know what to say for a while.
He didn't want to get involved in raising black dogs.
As he thought before, Qianye felt that this was nothing more than a tram problem...
Liu Qinshan's approach was no different from An Zhi's back then.
They all used the lives of a few people to exchange the lives of the many people, but now it seems that before he has finished, the unexpected surprise has come beyond his imagination.
So, the first problem that needs to be solved now is what should the people in this village do when the evil spirit comes...
Liu Qinshan's method is very simple. It is nothing more than gathering everyone together first, and then using his own abilities to try to save everyone's lives.
This is a decision with a low probability of success.
It's better to protect yourself.
If so many people were saved...
Undoubtedly, the ability is dispersed.
Although Liu Qinshan was very capable, much better than Qianye, but looking at his current state, Qianye also knew that he didn't have much confidence, so it was considered a gamble.
However, it seems that this is the only method currently available...
Qianye couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod in agreement: "I will do what you said. Now I only have one last question."
After speaking, he set his sights on An Yu again.
The eye injury suffered by the other party will indeed recover as before without any side effects after leaving the horror world alive.
But what we are facing now are the rules regarding the existence of evil spirits in this world...
"My sister's eye injury was caused by evil spirits. According to the previous statement, she has been infected by the curse now, right?"
"That means...she has to be buried alive underground like my father, after being punished by you?"
"Yes, that's right." Liu Qinshan affirmed without denying.
It is not difficult to rescue people from evil spirits, but what is difficult is the injuries caused by evil spirits.
The curse on that thing will be deposited along the person's wounds. If the injured person is not dealt with in time, he will eventually become a member of the evil spirit.
This is an essential link.
"Is there any way? If we don't bury her, she won't become evil?" Qianye asked next.
After spending so little time with An Yu, he really couldn't bear to see the other person die like this.
Lively little girl...
I am not born happy.
This time I just took a trip to the world of horror, and I may have to give a complete explanation here.
"Want to hear the truth or lies?"
Liu Qinshan asked.
However, when he saw that Qianye had no intention of catering to him, he just laughed and brushed off this meaningless question.
"Forget it, I'll just tell the truth."
"There is a way...there is a way."
"The only way is to find the evil spirit that took away your sister's eyes, and then take the eyes back from the other party's hands. I will help her deal with it and remove the curse on it."
"only......"
Liu Qinshan stopped, looked at Qianye seriously, pondered for a while and then said:
"There are thousands of evil spirits, but they don't have a single identifiable characteristic."
"It would be difficult for a normal person to find the person they want among a hundred thousand people, let alone a bunch of almost identical evil spirits..."
"What's more, even if I find it, I'm not sure if the evil spirit has left the eyes."
"So just listen to this method, it's impossible to complete it."
Qianye probably understood what Liu Qinshan meant.
In other words, the curse after being injured by evil spirits can actually be removed.
But the prerequisite for removal is to find the evil spirit that hurts people, and it still retains the victim's curse completely...
This chance is indeed pitifully small.
In fact, almost none.
Qianye is not a god. He thinks that he cannot do what Liu Qinshan said...
The reason why the other party did not reveal this method when "father" was buried was because the usability of this method was too low.
Instead of trying hard to find the evil spirit that poached An Yu's eyes, and making a gamble that was almost guaranteed to lose, Qianye might as well use his ability to modify the plot to directly save An Yu.
Now there are two words left...
What will happen in the future is uncertain.
To use a single word to save An Yu would prove that Qianye lacked a guarantee.
This is completely contrary to his original intention.
While ensuring your own safety, try to lend a helping hand.
At this time, my own safety has not yet been completely determined. Doing this is undoubtedly simply looking for risks for myself...
"The time for the curse to revive is three days, right?"
Qianye asked tentatively.
"No, it's not three days. Three days is only for a minor injury like your father's...and your sister's is only a day and a half at most." Liu Qinshan replied.
"Okay, I understand." Qianye glanced at An Yu lying on the bed and hesitated in his mind.
"Don't do anything to her first. Give me a day to think about it. If it doesn't work, I will cooperate with you to bury her..."
"Are you sure you want to find evil spirits? This is no joke. To be honest, with your current abilities, you will be dead."
Qianye said nothing.
He just looked at An Yu's face quietly.
Naturally, he would not be looking for evil spirits. That kind of method is just to scare people, but in fact there is no way to do it.
What he was thinking was just hesitating whether to use that number of words for An Yu...
After all, realistically speaking, this is something that has little benefit to him.
"It's really difficult to handle."
Qianye breathed out.
He no longer paid attention to An Yu and the old lady, but turned around and looked out the window at the night...
It's not long before dawn.
He also had to call the villagers over.
What no one noticed was that the old lady lying on the bed at this moment moved her eyelids imperceptibly...
