Old man Qiao waved his hand and said: "I won't talk about the past things. They are all old things. There is nothing more to talk about."

I said: "Then you should tell me why you came to deal with me?"

Old Man Qiao said: "Because, Xia Chuan, the head of the Xia family, promised to let me leave the Forest of Steles as long as I do three things for him."

Old Man Qiao said without waiting for me to ask further: "Actually, your guess is absolutely right. He put me here just to force the Xia family girl to become an evil scholar."

"We have studied the character of the girl from the Xia family and made up a story about the Kong family based on her character. In fact, the Kong family suffered misfortune because Ban Xian Zhuang took away the Demon Suppressing Monument."

"As long as the Xia family girl's mind is shaken, we can inspire her evil nature through the jade pendant on her body."

When I turned to look at Xia Mengying, the latter had already taken out a jade pendant from his body and held it tightly in his hand.

I asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean by giving me a coffin?"

Old Man Qiao said: "That was Xia Chuan's arrangement. He knows you very well, and he was afraid that you would rescue the Xia family girl, so he asked me to prepare the third step."

"He said: Although you are not from the Coffin Sect, you have some connections with the Coffin Sect people. I threw out the Coffin Sect's token, which is enough to arouse your curiosity. My third story will hit Xia Mengying's heart directly.

"

"At that time, the evil spirit on the jade pendant can sneak in, and you can't save her even if you want to."

I said in a deep voice: "How much else do you know about Xia Mengying?"

Old Man Qiao smiled bitterly and said: "How much can I, a trapped ghost, know?"

"I dare not take the third step because I don't want to die in your hands."

"So what if I have aroused the evil energy in Xia Mengying? There are so many masters out there, how can I escape?"

"But if I fail in my mission, I will still die, so I can only take a gamble like this."

I looked at Old Man Qiao and said, "As far as I know, you are not the only person suppressed in Banxianzhuang Stele Forest."

"Why did Qiao Gongliang say that you were suppressed?"

Old Man Qiao whispered: "I am not qualified to be suppressed. I am not even qualified to enter the Forest of Steles."

"Banxianzhuang has always claimed that the Forest of Steles is a place to suppress demons. The outside world didn't know why, so they sent some rebellious Confucians, evil Confucians, and even demons and monsters to Banxianzhuang for suppression. Among them, the Reincarnation Department sent the most."

"Banxianzhuang cannot explain the real reason why the Forest of Steles suppresses demons, so they can only imprison all these people outside the Forest of Steles."

"Back then, the demon riot in the Forest of Steles was the unfavorable consequence of suppression."

"If it weren't for the large number of warlocks gathered in Banxian Village at that time and the riot, we would have been able to escape."

Old Man Qiao took a deep breath and said, "I was one of the few ghosts who did not participate in that demon riot."

"Banxianzhuang didn't kill us because we were honest."

"However, Banxian Village also listened to the advice of some warlocks and imprisoned us in various traps again, making us the guardian ghosts of Banxian Village. They also promised that after we serve Banxian Village for a hundred years,

Set us free."

I threw the drawings I got from Tiangongmen on the table: "Are you all hiding in these secret passages?"

Old man Qiao looked at it carefully before saying: "This is the original drawing. Many places have been changed. If you follow this drawing, you can only go to the most dangerous places."

"If you trust me, I can redraw the drawings for you."

I took out the pen from my backpack: "Thank you then."

Old Man Qiao said while painting: "I know that I will not live long. No matter whether I complete the task this time, Xia Chuan will not let me live."

"There's nothing else I can do to help you, just ask!"

"The Qiao family is gone, and I have been imprisoned for hundreds of years. I have no thoughts for a long time. If you are willing, help me kill Xia Chuan."

"I don't hate Ban Xian Zhuang. After all, I betrayed the Confucian sect back then."

"But, I hate Xia Chuan."

"He does not deserve to be a disciple of Confucianism, let alone call himself a gentleman."

Old man Qiao stopped here: "Did my descendants tell you that I was framed?"

"Perhaps saying this will make them feel better! However, if you tell too many lies, they will become the truth."

"In the end, even they themselves believed that I was framed."

Old man Qiao sighed and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about them."

Old man Qiao brought the map in front of me: "Hall Master Li, take a look."

I took the map and said, "You seem to have gone in a circle!"

Old Man Qiao said: "My level is not high enough to understand the mechanism in the middle. I just marked the route for you to enter and exit Banxian Village."

"Hall Master Li, what else do you need me to do?"

I put away the map and said: "You go! The farther you go, the better. I will try my best to protect you before Xia Chuan takes action."

But at this time, Old Man Qiao sat down: "I'm not leaving! I'm tired from walking."

"Let me do one last thing for you!"
