Beishang Township under the setting sun is like a peaceful and warm painting. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the vast fields, making the green rice shine brightly. The mountains in the distance show a faint outline under the setting sun, as if covered with a layer of graceful golden gauze.

The breeze blew gently, bringing the faint fragrance of rice and soil from the fields. In the town, several families have lit up their lights. Human figures float under the dim lights, and curls of smoke drift away into the distance on the breeze.

"Pong-Pong~"

Outside the town, the evil ghost, who was hiding under a big tree, poked his little head out and looked at the warm and peaceful town in a trance, with a glimmer of longing in his watery big eyes.

"Don't worry, Erguiliang, it won't be long before you can walk into the village openly!" Seeing Erguiliang's cautious look, Wuli felt a pang in his heart and comforted him.

"Pong-Pong~"

Erguiyan turned around and smiled at Wuli, then squatted on the soft grass, leaning against a big tree.

For some reason, Wu Li always felt that Erguiyan seemed to be a little distant from him. It was so happy when Xiao Qing was around, but as long as he got close to Erguiyan, it would immediately become quiet. He didn't understand why this was the case. In terms of love for Erguiyan, he should be better!

Wu Li didn't understand that it was the flood of passion in his heart that was gradually pushing Er Guiyan away from him. Er Guiyan, who was sensitive, had long discovered his strong ambition and possessiveness, and this feeling almost made him feel suffocated.

"They are back!" Just as the scene fell silent again, Danyu, the tallest one, was the first to notice the gradually enlarging red figure in the sky.

"Yan~"

Feeling Xiaoqing's breath, Ergui, who had a bored look on his face just now, immediately stood up excitedly. Wuli, who took the whole scene in, couldn't help but clench his fists tighter.

"Yan~?"

As Gulden slowly approached, Eruption soon caught a sweet scent that had long been buried deep in its memory, and its brows instantly frowned.

"You're back. Where are the Three Treasures and the mask? Didn't you find them?" Seeing the three people returning empty-handed, Danyu walked around them and still found nothing, then asked in confusion.

"Don't worry, they will be here soon." After Fang Ci said this, his eyes unconsciously turned to the green elf under the big tree who had been staring at him with a frown since he came down.

"You must be Erguiyan, right? I've wanted to meet you for a long time!" Fang Ci of course understood why Erguiyan was so wary of him, so he took the initiative to bend down and squat in front of Erguiyan to greet him.

"Pong-Pong~"

Seeing the sincere smile on Fang Ci's face, Ergui's face showed a trace of struggle. It could sense the kindness released by Fang Ci, but the strong peach scent on the other party made it difficult for it to show any good face.

Seeing Erguiyan's conflicted look, Fang Ci did not force anything. He took the initiative to step back to a distance that made Erguiyan comfortable. He raised his head to look towards the southwest sky, waiting for the arrival of the other protagonist of the story.

"Erguiyan..." After Fang Ci left, Xiaoqing immediately came to Erguiyan, lay beside its ear and seemed to be saying something to it.

After hearing Xiaoqing's words, Egui looked up at Fang Ci several times, and the confusion on his little face became more intense.

"Momo~"

Just when Erguiyan didn't know how to respond to Fang Ci's kindness, a voice that was very familiar to it suddenly sounded from the sky. Erguiyan immediately raised his head and looked towards the sky, and saw at a glance the figure on Jizhiji's back that made it grit its teeth for countless days and nights.

Below Ji Zhiji, Gou Zan Gou and Yuan Zeng Yuan were also running towards the group side by side.

"Yan~"

Seeing that the four people appeared in front of him again in an orderly manner, Erguiyan instantly took out a wooden stick covered with thorns from somewhere, and his whole body trembled slightly with anger.

"Momo~"

Seeing Erguilang taking out a wooden stick, Tao Dailang immediately recalled the nightmarish night hundreds of years ago and subconsciously wanted to run away. However, after seeing Fang Ci's encouraging eyes below, he finally gritted his teeth and commanded Ji Zhiji to slowly land in front of Erguilang.

"Look, the three Baobans are back, and they really caught the ghost!" Tao Dailang and San Baoban did not hide their bodies along the way, so many villagers saw them and followed them all the way here. Looking at San Baoban and Erguiyan outside the village, the leading civic center administrator immediately pointed at Erguiyan and shouted excitedly.

"Is that a ghost?" For the villagers, this was the first time they saw the evil ghost that had been circulating in Beishang Township for hundreds of years. Some timid children even grabbed their parents' trouser legs in fear.

"But ghosts don't look like bad people!" However, Erqi's cute appearance was still convincing, and the young villagers who didn't believe in the legend soon questioned it.

"Nonsense, ghosts are good at using their harmless appearance to make people let down their guard and then suddenly attack. If it weren't for Lord Baoban, you would have been attacked by this evil ghost long ago!" Hearing the man's words, the administrator immediately shouted angrily, as if he had really been deceived and attacked by a ghost in this way.

"Yan~"

Noticing the villagers' pointing eyes, Ergui's body trembled even more violently, but this time Fang Ci couldn't tell whether it was out of anger or fear.

"Evil Ghost~"

Noticing Ergui's trembling, Xiaoqing immediately squatted down and gently placed her hand on its shoulder. Feeling the warmth on its shoulder, Ergui obviously felt better and subconsciously hid behind Xiaoqing.

"Hey, student, you must have been bewitched by a ghost. Hurry up and hand it over to the three Baoban masters and let them destroy it!" Seeing the actions of Erguiyan, the administrator immediately shouted to Xiaoqing anxiously.

"Yan~"

Seeing the tears in Ergui's eyes, Xiaoqing's heart was gripped tightly. She opened her arms to protect Ergui behind her and shouted to the villagers: "Ergui is my important friend, I will not give it to anyone!"

"Yan~"

Hearing Xiaoqing's firm tone, Erguilang couldn't help but tighten his grip on her trouser leg.

"Everyone, Erguiyan is not a bad guy. The story circulating in the village is wrong. Sanbaoban is the bad guy who wants to steal Erguiyan's mask!" Seeing that everyone familiar in the town, led by the administrator, looked at Erguiyan with a hint of hostility, Danyu and Wuli, who knew the truth, could no longer bear it and stood up and spoke loudly.

"What do you two kids know? I think you have been bewitched by the ghost!" The administrator would not tolerate his idol being criticized in the slightest. Upon hearing what Wuli and Danyu said, he glared at them and yelled.

"What Danyu and Wuli said is true!"

Seeing things develop to this point, the grandfather who had been behind the crowd sighed and walked out.

"Xue Zhong, do you know what you are talking about?" Seeing the old friend coming out, the administrator's eyes widened even more.

"Listen to me, everyone. I'm sorry for keeping it a secret from you all this time, but everything that Danyu and Wuli said is true. The ghost ran down the mountain in anger not to attack the village, but to take back the mask that was taken away by Sanbaoban. Sanbaoban is not a hero who protects the village, but a greedy robber!"

Compared with Danyu and Wuli, Grandpa's words were obviously more convincing. Before he finished speaking, people in the town immediately started talking about it.

"What nonsense, Xue Zhong, you are simply trying to kill your grandson and granddaughter!" Hearing that the people behind him seemed to be shaken, the administrator's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Wu Li's grandfather Xue Zhong in frustration.

"I believe everyone should know what my ancestors did. The mask in Sanbaoban's hand was made by my ancestor himself at the request of Ergui and that man. It was precisely because of these four masks made of exquisite gems that they attracted the covetousness of Sanbaoban. We have been wronging Ergui for hundreds of years!"

Ignoring his duties as an administrator, Xue Zhong continued talking to himself.

"Wow~~"

After Xue Zhong said this, the people in the town were instantly in an uproar.

"This is impossible..." the administrator shouted in disbelief. Protecting the masks in Baoban Square and Kitakami Center has always been the responsibility of his family passed down from generation to generation. If what Xue Zhong said is true, then he is equivalent to an accomplice of the evil!

"Momo~"

Just as the administrator was about to refute Xue Zhong's words, reality suddenly gave him a heavy blow.

Following Tao Dailang's order, the three treasured companions whom he regarded as idols all knelt on the ground, each holding a mask in their hands, and bowed their heads towards Erguilang with an apologetic look on their faces.

"Yan~!"

Seeing the actions of Sanbaoban and Taodailang, the hatred in Egui's heart gradually overwhelmed his fear. He took the red mask that looked like a burning stove from Jizhiji's hand, and raised the thorny vine stick wrapped in flames high in his hand.

"Momo~"

Seeing the thorny vine stick hanging high above their heads, Tao Dailang and San Baoban did not hide or evade, but just buried their heads lower.

"Erguiyan~" Seeing that Erguiyan's stick had not yet hit the target, Xiaoqing on the side could not help but cry out in worry.

"Momo~"

Without waiting for the expected stick to fall, Tao Dailang and San Baoban kowtowed several times to Eguilang.

"Pong-Pong~"

Seeing the four enemies in front of them humbled to the dust, Erguiyan and his gang did not fight after all. Hundreds of years ago, it had already vented its anger once, and Sanbaoban also paid the price for it and was buried in the mud for hundreds of years, Taodailang also experienced hundreds of years of fear and loneliness, and even it itself paid the price for that anger and suffered hundreds of years of unjust humiliation.

Now it is no longer dominated by anger. The only thing on its mind is the problem that has troubled it for hundreds of years.

"椪~椪椪?"

Hearing Ergui's question, Gouzangou and Jizhiji raised their heads at the same time.

"Enough~"

"Chirp~"

Upon hearing the answers from the two elves, tears immediately welled up in Eruption's eyes. Various emotions such as relief, confusion, and loss kept flashing across its face. Finally, its feet went soft and it sat down on the ground.

"Evil Ghost!"

Seeing Erguiyan's appearance, Xiaoqing immediately hugged its slender body from behind with concern.

"Brother, what do you think Ergui asked?" Looking at this scene, Qishu pulled Fang Ci's sleeve in confusion.

"I guess what it wants to know is what happened in the cave that year and where that man finally went." Fang Ci's voice was choked with sobs, perhaps because he was thinking of something.

"No, this is impossible, this is all fake, I must be dreaming!"

Just when everyone was silent because of Ergui's reaction, the administrator suddenly rushed out of the crowd, covering his head and screaming, running towards the town like crazy.

"Evil Ghost!"

Xiaoqing hugged Erguiyan, who had a dull look in his eyes, and her big eyes were full of worry.

"椪椪~" After hearing Xiaoqing's voice, Ergui椪 finally came to his senses and gave Xiaoqing a somewhat forced smile.

"Pong-Pong~"

Seeing Xiaoqing's worried look, Erguiyan immediately struggled to stand up from her arms, came to Taodailang and the others who were still kneeling, stretched out his little feet and kicked the four elves to the ground one by one, looked at their dusty appearance, and laughed triumphantly.

The sun gradually disappeared behind the western hills, but the bright moonlight still illuminated the town as bright as day.

The townspeople who watched the drama excitedly discussed what they had seen today on the way back home, and conveyed the explosive news to their family members who were not present. I believe that the truth of the matter will soon spread throughout Beishang Township.

"I'm sorry, Erguiliang, you have suffered injustice for so many years. On behalf of the residents of Beishang Township, I sincerely apologize to you!" After the crowd left, Xue Zhong hesitated and came to Erguiliang and bowed deeply.

"grandfather!"

Seeing their grandfather like this, Danyu and Wuli immediately stepped forward to support the old man, and at the same time bent down towards Egui.

In fact, their family has never given up explaining the truth to others, but as time goes by, the story of the ghost and the treasure has become a business card for Beishang Township to attract tourists. Too many interests are involved behind the simple story, and people will only believe in the "truth" that is beneficial to them, which makes all their efforts go to waste.

"Yan~"

Erguiyan walked forward and gently helped the old man up. In fact, it had never blamed the people of Beishang Township over the years. It had long been accustomed to loneliness after the man left.

But now that I met someone, loneliness seems to have become unbearable again...

Thinking of this, Erguiyan secretly turned around and glanced at Xiaoqing behind him.

"Okay, grandpa, Erguiyan doesn't blame you. It's getting late, you should go back and rest. We still have to send Erguiyan back!" Xiaoqing smiled and helped Xuezhong and Danyu Wuli up.

"Mr. Fang Ci, Miss Qi Shu, do you want to go with us?"

"No, I'd better not bring these four guys to bother Evil Spirit!" Fang Ci glanced at the Four Poison Gods who were still lowering their heads and declined.

"See you tomorrow, you two!"

After waving goodbye to each other, Qi Shu looked at the backs of Xiao Qing and the other two and Er Gui Yan and asked in confusion: "Why do you have to send Er Gui Yan back?"

Even though I met him for the first time today, I could see the feelings that Erguiliang had for Xiaoqing. Could it be that Xiaoqing couldn't feel it?

"Some things are always confusing to those involved, but I believe that both Xiaoqing and Eguiyan will make the right choice today!" Fang Ci looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and his voice drifted far away with the breeze.
