"You are not Su Wende."

Bai Rong directly pointed out Li Taiyuan's identity in one sentence.

"It seems you discovered from the beginning that I am a fake guy."

Li Taiyuan was not surprised. As a descendant of the witch clan, how could the Bai clan not see through his tricks?

But Li Taiyuan was very strange. Since she knew that she was fake, why did Bai Rong not point it out, but continued to ask him to hold a wedding with Bai Ruoyan.

Bai Rong signaled Li Taiyuan to take her seat and said slowly: "Why did you pretend to be Su Wende and enter my Bai Mansion? What is your purpose?"

"To save my friend's sister."

Of course, Li Taiyuan would not tell the other party about his investigation of Hei Taisui. He concealed his affairs about himself and informed Bai Rong about his experience in Yuhe Village a while ago.

He knew that Bai Rong had definitely investigated about herself for a long time when she asked this. Therefore, there was no need for him to lie on this point.

"Now He Ling has barely saved her life with the support of a trace of heavenly soul in her body. I came here this time just to hope that the patriarch, you can help me recall He Ling's earth and human souls."

Li Taiyuan paused and continued: "In return, I will cooperate with your plan. This is a deal, which should be very cost-effective for you."

Bai Rong looked at the young man in front of her and chuckled: "I'm very brave, I dare to negotiate conditions with me. It's not difficult to summon souls, but why should I help you?"

"I know that your mansion has Bai Ruoyan's secret." Li Taiyuan took the tea leisurely and tasted it.

He glanced at Bai Rong with his outlook. Although the other party was still sitting upright in silence, there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations. But when he mentioned Bai Ruoyan, Yue Chanyi on the side suddenly rubbed the crutch in his hand.

From a psychological analysis, touch or caress has a soothing effect. Frequent touching of round objects will make one feel smooth, so people often like to twist Buddhist beads, necklaces, etc. with their thumbs.

The purpose of this is to help people regulate their emotions, relax their mood, overcome anxiety and fear.

Hearing the movement around him, Li Taiyuan quietly raised the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Tell me."

Bai Rong is the leader of the clan and will not easily be deceived by Li Taiyuan's words.

"What should be buried under the mulberry tree in the East Courtyard? Let me guess... maybe it's two children?" Li Taiyuan put down the teacup and looked at Bai Rong.

His words in the breeze instantly caused a storm in Bai Rong's heart. Hearing the sound of the teacup falling heavily, Li Taiyuan knew that he had guessed correctly.

Combined with the experiences he had in the cycle many times before, Li Taiyuan was enough to confirm that the mulberry tree was inseparable from the female ghost in red that devoured everyone.

But even so, the female ghost is not the culprit. Although it swallowed Chuntao, it was actually like Huixiang, and all its behaviors were controlled by some kind of force.

The real murderer who really controls the female ghost in red to kill everyone is the two ghost children.

As for why Li Taiyuan is so sure, the reason is that in the previous cycle, in addition to what he saw, Qiao An also mentioned to him that whenever he was a friend died, he could always hear a ringtone.

The source of the ringtone was the copper bell on the ankles of the two ghost boys.

Seeing that Bai Rong and Yue Chanyi didn't talk, Li Taiyuan continued, "The next one is Miss Bai. I heard that Bai Ruoyan was weak and sickly before she died, and kept in the deep boudoir and stayed in the door. I'm afraid it was not because she was not capable, but because of her

The spiritual power is far stronger than those saints in the past, right?"

According to the information found from Chuntao, the saint will inherit most of the spiritual power of the mother's body since birth, and the curse in the mother's body will also be transferred to them.

Due to the special terrain of the misty mountain, under the influence of the resentment that nourishes and perishes, the people in the Fanshengquan Village will surely turn into evil spirits when they die.

After being engraved with a curse pattern, the saint will continue her mother's mission, seal the dead souls with her body, absorb all the resentment within a radius of hundreds of miles, and ensure peace in all directions.

He Weican said that apart from his childhood experiences, Yuhe Village and the surrounding villages have been in peace over the past decade and have rarely suffered any lives.

Even the strange phenomenon of many people dying during the rainy season in the past few decades has never happened in the past decade.

At first they all thought that all this was due to the old Taoist practice of opening the altar, but now it seems that the person who truly protected the peace at the foot of the mountain was Bai Ruoyan.

It is precisely because Bai Ruoyan has absorbed too much resentment since she was born that her body seriously exceeded the load, so she could not hold on early before she was the age to give birth.

Hearing this, Bai Rong and Yue Chanyi fell into silence.

"Not only that, as a saint, she seems to have some special ability..." Li Taiyuan continued.

"Enough."

Bai Rong suddenly stood up and sternly scolded the other party.

At the same time, a rough old hand with broken thumb pressed on his shoulder.

Yue Chanyi seemed to look at the direction of the door, then turned her head and looked at Li Taiyuan, with a sinister look on her face and increased the strength in her hand: "Son-in-law, be careful."

Li Taiyuan found that after mentioning Bai Ruoyan, the reactions of the two were obviously much more excited than before.

But this is enough to prove that my guess is correct: the source of power that constantly traps time and space into a cycle is the dead Bai Ruoyan.

"It seems you've found it."

Bai Rong walked to Li Taiyuan, leaned down and leaned into his ear, and said something softly.

Even Li Taiyuan showed surprise after hearing the other party's words. He did not expect that the situation in Bai Mansion was so complicated, far beyond what he had thought at the beginning.

"Captain Bai, are you..."

Before Li Taiyuan finished speaking, he saw the blood on Bai Rong's face fading away instantly, and even he was a little unstable.

Li Taiyuan subconsciously held her arm, not sure if it was his own illusion, but the moment he touched the other person, he seemed to feel the skin on Bai Rong's arm slightly bulging. In memory, the other person's arm seemed to be tattooed with a blue black strip.

snake tattoo.

At this moment, Li Taiyuan felt that the tattoo seemed to be coming alive and swam quickly along her arm to other places.

Bai Rong pulled her arm back and took a few steps back.

Although the other party pushed herself away, Li Taiyuan could still feel something was wrong with her through the short physical contact just now.

As he spoke, fine beads of sweat oozed out of Bai Rong's forehead, as if she was suffering from great pain.

Yue Chanyi wanted to help the other party, but she refused.

"Butler Yue, let's see the guests off."

Bai Rong seemed to have put in a lot of effort before she could barely say these words to Li Taiyuan: "I will give you what you want. But you must help me complete that thing first."

"I understand, you have a good rest, I will say goodbye. Butler Yue doesn't have to see him off, take good care of the patriarch."

Li Taiyuan smelled a scent of rust, and he was sensible and left the hall without looking back after saying goodbye to the other party.

Yue Chanyi supported Bai Rong, and the two of them stared at Li Taiyuan's back silently.

At this moment, Bai Rong's clothes were completely stained with blood.

All the tattoos on her arm turned into fresh wounds, and her skin seemed to have been gnawed by something, and the luster bones below could be seen.

Although the shady leaves and dense eaves in the north courtyard blocked the sun, they were still bright at least.

After coming out of the dark room just now, Li Taiyuan subconsciously rubbed his eyes and felt much more comfortable.

He walked out along the corridor and saw Bai Muya's small figure again when he was about to leave the North Courtyard.

She hid in the corner and looked around with a nervous look on her face. It was not until Li Taiyuan's figure appeared that the girl's face rarely showed a smile.

"Miss Second? Haven't you been back?"

Seeing that the other person waved to him, Li Taiyuan walked over with a smile.

"I ran out while Aunt Fang was not paying attention."

Bai Muya quietly took out a bead from her pocket and stuffed it to Li Taiyuan. The pearl was crystal clear and solemn, round and colorful, and looked worth a lot of money.

Li Taiyuan twisted the pearl and asked inexplicably: "Miss II, what do you mean?"

"I...I also want to try the osmanthus cheese in Tianshuixiang. But Aunt Fang never allows me to eat food outside. I don't have money, so I can only exchange it for you."

Bai Muya said, and opened her purse again. The ones inside were all valuable and excellent craftsmanship.

"Big brother, do you think this is enough?" The girl naively handed the purse to Li Taiyuan.

"You keep these things in check, I don't want them."

Thinking of the rule that cannot be exchanged for things, Li Taiyuan rejected Bai Muya without hesitation.

He smiled and put the beads back into his purse and handed them back to the girl: "So, do me a favor, and after dinner, I will naturally bring you osmanthus cheese."

After hearing the other party say this, Bai Muya's eyes suddenly lit up and she agreed without hesitation.

The conditions proposed by Li Taiyuan were also very simple. He asked Bai Muya to help open the gate of the North Courtyard after the curfew at twelve o'clock.

After the two reached an agreement, Bai Muya said goodbye to Li Taiyuan happily, turned around and ran back to the villa.
