Chapter 4328 Old Manor Owner
The third elder made a decision. In order to investigate the truth behind this matter, he would break the rules set by the villa.
He would take the responsibility to open the ban on the back mountain. He would go in with Xiao Yi next. He would personally investigate what kind of demons and monsters were hidden in the back mountain.
The two left the underground palace. Just after they left, the body lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes.
Xiao Yi accompanied the third elder to the residence of the old owner. This is the Dawn Villa, an ordinary courtyard, several bungalows, and a bamboo fence. It looks so ordinary and simple.
If it weren't for the third elder leading him, Xiao Yi would not have thought that this place was the Dawn Villa. The residence of the owner of the villa was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. At the same time, Xiao Yi also understood.
Ji Wuye once lived here...
The murderer who killed his father seemed to be right in front of him. In Xiao Yi's mind, the shadows of several people that night emerged.
Zhang Tianshi and Xiao Yi said that Ji Wuye and his father were good friends. Ji Wuye gave Xiao Huaiyi the right to enter and leave Poxiao Villa at will, and he could walk around Poxiao Villa except for the forbidden area.
The relationship between the two was so close, why did Ji Wuye attack his father in the end and become Xiao Huaili's accomplice? He really couldn't figure out the reason. Xiao Yi stayed in his place thinking, and the third elder had already walked into the yard.
"Xiao Yi, why are you standing there stupidly? What are you thinking about?"
The third elder saw Xiao Yi in a daze, his eyes became dull, and asked him.
"Nothing!"
Xiao Yi came back to his senses, and at this moment he told himself in his heart that the person who assassinated his father was Ji Wuye, and it had nothing to do with Poxiao Villa.
The two must be distinguished, and they cannot be implicated here because of the grievances between them. Xiao Yi still distinguished clearly between right and wrong.
Walking into Ji Wuye's residence, there was no life here. In addition to arranging people to clean regularly, Ji Jiangyue kept everything in the room as it was in order to leave a thought for herself.
But Ji Jiangyue didn't know that her deceased father was actually still alive and participated in Xiao Huaili's plan to assassinate her beloved man. If she knew the truth, what kind of mentality would she have.
"This is where the old owner of the villa lived before. He was very casual in life, and his food and clothing were also the simplest. He also set rules for the villa and did not allow people to waste."
If the third elder was to describe this person, it would be that he had a righteous spirit and strictly required himself. Although he was the owner of the Dawn Villa, he often left the villa to help the surrounding villagers.
Going to the fields to do farm work, helping people chop firewood, and visiting anyone who had difficulties at home to inquire about their living conditions.
Moreover, the Dawn Villa would take out a large amount of funds every year to donate to children in poor mountainous areas, so that these children could go to school and change their destiny.
After listening to the explanation of the third elder, Xiao Yi really couldn't connect the murderer who assassinated his father with Ji Wuye, but the facts are facts and cannot be changed.
Entering the room, the layout of the room is simple. Apart from a few paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, it can be seen that Ji Wuye is an elegant person, and there is nothing else.
"I remember that the old owner of the manor ordered that if you encounter any unsolvable problems in the future and have to enter the back mountain, the key to open the ban is in this box."
After the third elder came to the room, he found a wooden box under a bed. The wooden box was red and a seal was attached to the outside with runes written on it.
This seal is to prevent others from opening the box. There is a special magic circle on the seal. It needs to be opened by someone who knows how to unlock it. If you do it without knowing it, the box will lock itself.
The third elder knows the way to open it. This is what Ji Wuye told him. At this moment, he stretched out his fingers to condense the breath, which gathered into a magic circle and added it to the seal.
"The seal is lifted!"
With his shout, the runes on the seal gradually dimmed and finally fell from the box.
The box opened by itself, and a black token floated out from it. The third elder put the token into his pocket.
The token is the key to unlock the ban. After getting the key, he did not stop and hurried to the back mountain with Xiao Yi.
Through the rope bridge between the two peaks, Xiao Yi had walked the road to the forbidden area once before. This was his second time here, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Standing on the rope bridge, you can see the whole picture of the forbidden area in the back mountain. In the eyes of those who don't know, the back mountain is peaceful and there is nothing unusual.
And Xiao Yi personally went to understand the truth. Passing through the ban of the back mountain is like passing through the fog that conceals the truth. After passing through, you will find another world.
"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you? You look sad and worried."
The Third Elder always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Yi. He had never seen Xiao Yi like this before, and there was nothing that made Xiao Yi look so sad.
Xiao Yi came back to his senses. He couldn't tell why. In the past, when he returned to Poxiao Villa, he always felt like he was back home.
He liked the tranquility and peace here, but this time, for some reason, he always felt uneasy, as if there was a pair of eyes in the dark, staring at Xiao Yi all the time, which made Xiao Yi's back hairy.
But when he stopped and looked back, he found nothing. Was he suspicious or was there something else? Now he couldn't figure it out. He would deal with the things he promised to the third elder first.
After passing the rope bridge, he came to the forbidden area of Dawn Villa. When Xiao Yi came last time, the surrounding forest had changed the color of the leaves under the invasion of evil spirits.
Even the restrictions set here can hardly prevent the evil spirits from leaking out. Judging from the current situation, it won't take long for the restrictions to lose their effect. At that time, even if there is no key to open the restrictions, the whole forbidden area can be seen.
The third elder did not have much perception of the evil spirits. The changes in the scenery he saw were just seasonal alternations. Apart from this possibility, he did not think there would be any evil spirits.
After all, this is Poxiao Mountain Villa, where righteousness always exists. How could there be any evil spirit? When they arrived in front of the restriction, the third elder took out the key to open the restriction.
He walked to a stone with the key in his hand. There was a hole chiseled out on the stone, which was just enough to put the black token in.
