The village chief came out tremblingly: "The villain is here, what are your orders?"

The envoy glanced at the village chief and said: "The village chief's supervision was not good, and the four others are equally guilty!"

Before the village chief could argue, the entourage brought by the envoy threw a few iron ropes with hooks, pierced the village chief's shoulder armor, dragged him to an empty wooden cage, and skinned him with a knife.

The techniques of those people were obviously not very professional. They couldn't peel off a complete human skin at all. They just tore off the other person's skin piece by piece.

The village chief's screams could not be stopped. None of the villagers in the lower village had the heart to watch the village chief being tortured, but were impatient to leave.

After a while, several executioners finally completed the execution and hung the village chief in a wooden cage with an iron hook.

The messenger said: "Add another hook to seal their mouths. The village leader likes to be quiet. Don't let them disturb the village leader day and night."

The executioner sealed the mouths of those people with hooks, turned around and walked into the gate of Shangcun.

As soon as the gate was closed, the villagers in the square dispersed and ran towards the small shop. The policeman who was trapped between me begged: "Let me go! At least let me grab it."

A little something!”

I threw the person on the ground and quietly moved toward the wooden cage. I found a place that could block my view and stood down. I whispered to the village chief: "I have something to ask you. If you can answer it, just blink."

.”

After the village chief blinked twice, I carefully pulled out the iron hook that passed through his chin.

The village chief didn't wait for me to speak, and said vaguely: "I know, you must have a purpose when you come in, just say what you want to do!"

"I have nothing now, and my only hope lies in you."

The village chief is right!

He knew that we had an ulterior motive, but he did not reveal it and allowed us to act in the village. In fact, he intended to expose our purpose.

If we want to harm Damengxiang, he might be able to find someone from Shangcun and report us in exchange for some benefits.

Now, he actually hopes that we can put an end to the dreamland.

Only if we succeed can he have the possibility of escaping and ascending to heaven.

I asked: "How can I enter Shangcun quickly?"

"Either you buy it with money, or you just knock on the door and solve the riddles in the village. As long as you solve the riddles, you will immediately become the head of the village. You can do whatever you want in the village!"

My eyes suddenly lit up: "What puzzle? Has anyone solved it?"

The village chief said: "I don't know either. Only someone who really wants to solve the mystery can see it."

The village chief quickly said: "Remember, you must not drink the water in the village. You can't drink it even if you die of thirst. If you drink the water in the village, you will be like us."

I couldn't help but be secretly surprised. I did carry a few bottles of water in my backpack, but I couldn't last long.

No matter how powerful the master is, he can only go without eating for two or three days, but he cannot go without drinking water for two or three days. Moreover, after a person fights, he will definitely be thirsty. If we don't drink water, Ye Yang and I are afraid that we will not survive.

After going to a village, there was no chance of fighting anyone.

I asked: "Do the people here really have no weaknesses? Can they be killed?"

"Yes!" said the village chief: "People here can only be killed with ghost weapons from the underworld. For example, the ghost's soul-binding rope will do."

"Ghost weapons are banned in the village and are not allowed to be kept privately. Otherwise, the end will be countless times worse than what I am now."

I lowered my voice and said, "Do you have a soul-binding rope in your hand?"

The village chief hesitated for a while and said: "There is only one. I hid it under the old locust tree. You can get it by cutting off my right thumb and inserting it into the hole of the old locust tree."

"If anything happens to you, don't say that you took the soul-binding rope from my hand!"

I said "hmm" and said, "Don't worry, I still have this bit of morality."

After the village chief finished speaking, he lowered his head: "Put the hook back on for me!"

I was surprised and said: "You won't act together with us? Maybe..."

The village chief shook his head before I could finish my words and said, "No, just take care of yourselves! If I don't go with you, maybe the head of the village will let me go as soon as he is happy."

"If I'm with you, if you fail, I really won't have a chance to stand up."

The village chief obviously didn't believe that we could solve the mystery.

After I hung the hook back to its original position, I cut off the village chief's thumb with a knife. According to what he said, I took out a soul-detaining rope under the locust tree.

That soul-binding rope was probably something that some ghost had worn out, and it was completely different from my soul-seeking rope.

I originally wanted to give my soul-seeking rope to Ye Yang and use the old one myself. But Ye Yang said that his soul-seeking thread was also a ghost weapon, and its quality was higher than that of the soul-seeking rope, so I had to keep the chain for myself.

.

Nie Xiaochun, the paper umbrella in Qin Xin's hand was originally a ghost weapon, there was no need for them to hunt for it.
