Lin Luo had a calm smile on his face, but he couldn't help but snort in his heart. His tone was particularly calm: "Of course I guessed."

Being cursed, that's all.

The old man's eyes were dull for a moment, and then he stared at Lin Luo for a few seconds, with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

However, after a moment, his expression gradually returned to calm, and he seemed a little tired. He sighed and said, "I'm a little tired, you guys hurry up! Leave our village as soon as possible."

Before he finished speaking, the old man lay down on the bed without hesitation, then turned over and turned his back to Lin Luo and others.

Lin Luo, Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan looked at each other, and then Lin Luo said softly: "I have one last question to ask you."

"Excuse me, what is the purpose of this sacrifice you are holding now? After all, you have successfully completed the sacrifice of Li Bing, so why does the sacrifice exist now?"

Time passed by, and the old man remained silent, lying quietly on the bed without any reaction. Except for the occasional coughing, the whole room fell into a dead silence.

Zhang Yuan's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't help but have an impulse to rush forward to pull the hateful old man out of bed and force him to tell the truth.

At this time, Wu Shan on the side suddenly said: "What secrets are hidden in the back mountain behind your village?"

However, after a long time, the old man still did not respond, as if he did not hear their words, and seemed to fall into silence.

"What should we do?" Wu Shan looked at the old man's back and whispered to Lin Luo and the others.

"Forget it, let's go!" Lin Luo made a decision.

Zhang Yuan hesitated a little. He wanted to force the old man to ask, but he still had a trace of reason.

The three returned to the courtyard wall.

After climbing over the courtyard wall and coming to a small alley on one side, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but punched the earth wall in front of him with a "bang", gritting his teeth and said; "This old guy, why don't you just force him to speak?!"

Looking at the village chief's building not far away, his mind was full of countless doubts. Lin Luo shook his head slightly and said; "Let's not talk about whether he wants to speak or not. Just look at his appearance of panting after walking two steps. What can you use to force him to ask? He has already asked the immortal before you force him."

"Damn it, if you really can't force him, don't blame us!" Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth with a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.

Wu Shan's face was also a little ugly. "So is his words true or false?"

"Half true and half false!" Lin Luo thought, and then told Zhang Yuan and the others in detail about the news he had found out today.

"Everyone says something different?" Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan were a little surprised.

"Who is telling the truth?"

Lin Luo thought for a moment and said, "One of them must be lying, but I am actually very curious about a question."

Wu Shan and Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Luo and asked in confusion, "What?"

Lin Luo's eyes narrowed slightly and pointed in the direction of the village chief's three-story building.

At this moment, they have come to the back of the village chief's house.

And the direction Lin Luo pointed to was exactly on the west side of the second floor, which was where the old man's room was.

And behind the village chief's building were nine neatly arranged windows, like a nine-square grid, which means that each of the three floors has three rooms.

"He obviously has no windows, why did he make a fake window, and seal it up!?"

Looking in the direction of Lin Luo's finger, Zhang Yuan and the others also noticed this. There were only three windows on the second floor.

If you have not been to that room, it would look like there is nothing wrong from the outside.

But Lin Luo and the other two have been to that room, so it is inevitable that they are a little curious and confused.

Including the inner room, the second floor should have four windows.

"Did he seal something in there!?" Zhang Yuan immediately thought of a possibility.

This possibility made them feel a chill. If there was really something sealed there, what would it be?

This question lingered in their hearts.

Lin Luo frowned and thought, he felt that there was something wrong with the old man.

A room without windows is disguised as having windows, and it is specially sealed with wooden boards. There must be some unknown secret hidden in it.

Lin Luo frowned, with a thoughtful light in his eyes, and nodded gently and said: "There is indeed such a possibility." Zhang Yuan's guess is also possible.

But, is it a little too obvious? !

Wu Shan, who was standing aside, kept moving his eyes back and forth between the windows on the second floor, and suddenly felt something strange. His eyebrowsHe frowned and whispered, "It seems that there is something wrong with these windows..."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

Wu Shan seemed to remember something important, and his tone became anxious: "I, I remember that they should have a main room on the first floor! I clearly feel that there is something wrong there, but I just can't tell..."

"Main room!?" Lin Luo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately shifted his sight to the three windows on the first floor. After careful observation, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's the wrong position!"

"That's right, it's the wrong position!" Wu Shan also suddenly realized and quickly agreed.

Zhang Yuan seemed to be reminded, and looked carefully at the position of the window. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice trembled and said: "Main room!? Yes, the house in the middle of the first floor is indeed the main room!"

According to common sense, the windows of the main room should be located on the left and right sides, and should be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the gate. However, what I saw in front of me completely violated the convention, which made people feel confused and uneasy.

Moreover, the spirit tablets and spirit positions should be placed in the middle of the hall, which is the place where the family worships ancestors and deceased elders. It is not only a respect for the ancestors.

It is also a symbol of family tradition, so this position is very important.

Therefore, incense and candles should be lit at this position to express respect and remembrance for the ancestors.

However, according to common sense, it is impossible to open windows on the left and right of the spirit tablets.

Because doing so is not in line with traditional customs, but also contrary to common sense. It can even be said to be a taboo, and it is also a safety common sense.

After all, who would open a window casually in such a solemn place? Especially in this village that is obviously somewhat feudal and conservative.

"Have you searched the hall carefully?" Lin Luo asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan and Wu Shan were stunned. After looking at each other, they shook their heads and said, "No."

At this time, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

In fact, they didn't deliberately ignore the hall, but the situation was special at the time. The hall was empty and there was really nothing worth searching.

In addition, their nerves were always tense, and they had no time to pay attention to those tiny details. Now thinking back, I realized that I missed a lot of key information.

"Go now?" Zhang Yuan asked hesitantly. At this moment, he already knew that the old man was not weird, and the fear in his heart was reduced a lot, but he still couldn't help asking.

"It seems to be too late, the village chief and others are back." Lin Luo's eyes suddenly turned to the other end of the alley, and saw several figures appearing there.

The leader was Village Chief Li, who walked slowly from the entrance of the alley with a cane, followed closely by several people.

"Fuck!" Zhang Yuan cursed angrily, looking at the figures passing by the entrance of the alley, his face was very ugly.

"What should we do now?"

"Go back to the courtyard first."
