Qin Wei's sigh stimulated him, and he suddenly raised the huge sharp blade in his hand and chopped towards the few people.

However, a golden light suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire mountain temple like a barrier.

Even his voice was isolated inside.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Yan still hugged her: "So that's why you let us out?"

"Yeah." Gu Chaoxi nodded, took a breath, and slowly opened his mouth again.

"In fact, I always thought it was strange. There was no need for a strange man to worship the evil mountain god. So the one who worshipped the evil mountain god must be someone else."

In the mountain temple, the evil mountain god was still beating hard, but this force could not cause any harm to them outside.

But it's still quite tiring to stand in a place like this and talk.

Seeing that Gu Chaoxi's face was getting more and more strange, Qin Wei quickly interrupted: "Why don't we go back first and talk about it later."

Pei Yan exerted strength in his arms and felt the whole person in his arms getting hot. He also realized the seriousness of the situation.

Several people supported each other and walked back quickly.

However, Gu Chaoxi felt uncomfortable as he kept the words in his heart.

She simply didn't care whether they were listening or not and started talking.

"The shadow of the mountain god statue only appears at night. I guess that's because his movements are restricted, so it's relatively safe for us during the day."

"When I was in the secret room, I noticed that the evil mountain god and the wooden box were facing each other, which seemed to mean that they were mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining."

"When we came out of the secret room, I once felt someone's eyes on me from behind. That was because he was watching us."

"Perhaps it's because this place is too backward and the only way to detect it is by breathing, so the girl only retained her breathing."

"He worships the evil mountain god just to revive his lover."

"As for those villagers, I'm afraid it's because I did something wrong to them."

She spoke slowly, and because of her fever, she paused for a long time after each sentence.

So when she finished saying this, they had just stepped into the room where they were going to spend the night.

Qin Wei almost immediately went to find the rice soup that she had not finished drinking in the morning. She directly filtered out the soup and found a relatively intact piece of cloth.

Pei Yan carried her onto the kang without saying a word and let her lie down.

She wanted to sit up, but Pei Yan pressed her shoulders down.

There was impatience in this man's eyes as he stared at her, as if he would send her to death in the next second if she didn't obey.

There was no choice but to lie down obediently.

Only after Qin Wei put the wet cloth on her forehead did Pei Yan let go of her shoulders and sat aside, still guarding her.

"I......"

"I know what you want to say."

Pei Yan interrupted her directly.

Qin Wei sighed, raised his hand and touched her hot face, a little disappointed: "Don't talk, you'll burn me silly!"

Well, she shut up.

Since Pei Yan already knew everything, it would be a good opportunity for her to save some energy.

Although Shen Yao understood a lot from her words at this time, there was still something he didn't understand.

"Since the girl's prayer to the mountain god was answered, why did the boy still offer sacrifices to the evil mountain god?"

Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her. Seeing that she was really lying there motionless, he felt relieved.

"In mythology, all life and death are determined by heaven. Even gods cannot reverse it at will. If he wants to resurrect someone, he can only ask for help from the evil mountain god. Of course, this also comes at a price."

That's why they saw that he himself turned into the evil mountain god.

In this way, it is probably understandable why the strange man built a sandalwood coffin for himself.

After all, both the Good Mountain God and the Evil Mountain God are bothering him, it would be strange if he is not afraid.

"But he has become an evil mountain god. Why would the mountain god temple stop him?"

"Remember those offering cups in the mountain temple? There are words like Longan Suqi on the bottom."

Pei Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the kang. Gu Chaoxi tilted her head slightly and could see his slender knuckles.

Shen Yao nodded, but this time he didn't respond before another girl took over the conversation.

"You mean he was worshipping the good mountain god, so he was trapped by his own good thoughts."

"Yes." Pei Yan chuckled.

"He has lived in this village since he was a child. It's not surprising that he believes in the good mountain god. Maybe he himself is afraid of being attacked by the evil mountain god, so he put the statue of the evil mountain god and the girl in that secret room."

"I see."

On the one hand, he really wanted his lover to come back to life, but on the other hand, he was really afraid that something like the evil mountain god would harm him.

That's why he did a series of contradictory things.

It was like the wooden box containing the girl had runes carved on it to scare away evil spirits, because he himself was afraid that the person who came back to life was not his wife.

As they restored the truth of the entire village word by word, the light outside seemed to become softer.

The display screen lit up again in front of everyone.

[The truth about Longan County, unlocked]

[You can choose to view the full story]

[Remaining rules: Help the villagers complete the sacrificial ceremony]

[Game continues]

Gu Chaoxi was not in the mood to read the full story, as she had already guessed most of it.

"Don't relax yet, he exists, and we still have tonight to deal with."

Pei Yan's words made everyone nervous again.

In the first two nights, the evil mountain god probably would not break into the house directly, but now that they have exposed his true identity, there is no guarantee that the rule of not entering the house will still work for him.

If this rule couldn't restrain him, they would all die here tonight.

Silence weighed on everyone.

Qin Wei sighed, took off the cloth strip on Gu Chaoxi's head, soaked it again, wrung it dry, and put it back on.

No one spoke anymore.

Gu Chaoxi blinked. From her perspective as she lay down, she saw that Pei Yan had a very obvious jawline.

"Pei Yan, is your hair dyed?"

She reached out and tugged at the corner of Pei Yan's clothes, and he lowered his head to look at her.

Maybe because of the illness, her eyes were wet, yet they were still sparkling.

Those eyes stared at him with a hint of anticipation.

"Yeah, it's dyed."

In fact, Pei Yan didn't have silver hair at the beginning, but an experience in the other world made his hair a little white. He thought it was too ugly, so he simply dyed it all.

Qin Wei was distracted by her strange focus and couldn't help but smile: "You are still in the mood to care about this now?"

"Of course."

Gu Chaoxi nodded and turned his gaze to Qin Wei: "After all, we are safe tonight."

"Huh? Do you have any idea?"

"Pei Yan also knows. He just scared you." She smiled with her eyebrows curved, looking a little heartless.

However, after hearing this, Qin Wei moved his gaze to Pei Yan's face, and the man raised his eyebrows without noticing.

It seems that what Gu Chaoxi said was right, he did it on purpose!
