The patter--

As soon as Li Huwei finished speaking, it started to rain rapidly in the mountains not long after it had cleared up.

Guard Li was shocked.

"As soon as you talk about being possessed by an evil spirit, it will rain immediately. Isn't this rain an evil rain?"

But the rain soon stopped again.

Finally, before dark, the group of four successfully walked out of the cliff road. They were safe and sound along the way.

Didn't encounter any accidents.

Didn't even come across Headless Village.

The cliff road is halfway up the mountain. Standing on the mountainside and looking at the vast mountain forest under the setting sun, you can see the lush forest sea as far as the eye can see, and there is no trace of a village at all.

If you can't find Taoyuan Village even if you stand at a high place, then you can find Taoyuan Village after going down the mountain. Once you lose the advantage of overlooking the high ground, you will have no way to find it.

Next, several people changed to several different positions, overlooking the vast forest sea below, but still found nothing.

On the contrary, after such a delay, the sky became darker and darker.

When darkness fell at night, it was no longer suitable to look for a village. We had no choice but to find a leeward place to spend the night.

Finally, they found a leeward place, which was a naturally formed concave wall with a large protrusion of rock. If it rained again in the mountains, they could just use the rocks above their heads to block the rain.

And after all this busy work, the sky and the earth had completely darkened, the mountains and forests were quiet, and everything in the distance was pitch black, and only blurry black shadows could be seen.

In the mountain forest after dark, howling ape cries one after another in the darkness, as if a man-eating mandrill is looking for food in the world with its blue eyes.

Crackling.

Under the rock, a few people lit a bonfire with firewood collected.

Several people sat around the campfire, baking dry food. In the silence of the night, Jin An asked Li Huwei to tell the story about Wutou Village again, which was the story of the group of traveling businessmen who accidentally broke into Wutou Village.

This time he asked Guard Li to tell it carefully and not to miss any details. Perhaps from the story of the traveling merchants, he could find clues on how to enter the Headless Village.

Anyway, the dry food was now hard and not yet warmed up, so Li Weiwei, who was bored, told the story he told last time again.

Unexpectedly, when Li Huwei finished telling the story and was about to eat dry food, Jin An asked Li Huwei to tell it again.

"?"

Li Huwei looked at the dry food in his hand because he wanted to eat but couldn't. In the end, he couldn't refute Jin An and repeated his words.

…

Jin An: "Tell it again."

Guard Li: "?"

…

Jin An: "Tell it again."

Guard Li: "!"

…

Jin An: "Tell it again."

Guard Li was desperate.

He screamed, and this time he didn't care about anything. He was so hungry and anxious that he wolfed down the sesame seed cakes baked in his hands, and then told the story again in a vague voice.

At this time, even the old Taoist priest looked at Jin An suspiciously and asked what happened to Jin An?

When Jin An tormented Li Weifei like this, he certainly wasn't just playing tricks on others out of boredom. He always had the illusion that he had an idea but couldn't catch it.

I always feel like there are some important details that he has overlooked.

That's why he repeated it over and over again.

And just now, he finally figured out what he had overlooked.

Jin An suddenly stood up.

Get out of the sheltered rock.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, frowning and looking towards the dark forest where nothing could be seen at his feet.

Then he looked up at the sky again.

A thoughtful expression on his face.

"What's wrong little brother?"

"Have you made any key discoveries?"

At this time, the old Taoist priest, Li Huwei and Xiajian all came over with concern.

Jin An pondered: "I have indeed made some discoveries, but it is just a conjecture at the moment and needs to be verified."

"I wonder if you still remember a detail? Wutou Village only appears during the rainy season. The day when the group of traveling merchants encountered Wutou Village happened to be a rainy day. It had just rained the day before yesterday. Last night, Chief Tiejuan Road and the others entered the mountain.

The headless bodies of the Wang brothers were found..."

"rain!"

"Rain is the key!"

Jin An looked up at the sky, waiting for rain.

…

…

Hua Hua——

Hua Hua Hua——

In the second half of the night, a rapid heavy rain came just as soon as it was said to come. Raindrops as big as soybeans pattered on the mountain wall. The wind blew quickly and the rain came quickly.

Fortunately, Jin'an and the others found a ledge in lee to spend the night under a rock in advance, so the bonfire was not extinguished by the rain.

As soon as he saw it raining, Jin An's eyes narrowed. He did not fall asleep but kept vigilant all night. He immediately walked out of the big stone that blocked the rain.

A magical scene happened, all the rainwater falling on Jin An instantly evaporated into curls of light smoke.

Jin'an's body is covered with a layer of protective gas that looks like a black shirt and contains high-temperature, fire-toxic internal gas.

The inner energy of the fire poison was shaped like black fire and the cloth cloth covered Jin An's body.

Once the outside rain comes within an inch of your body, all the fire-poisoned inner energy in the black shirt will evaporate into water mist. From a distance, Jin An, wearing a five-color Taoist robe, looks like an ethereal immortal who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests and feeds on the five energies.

.

At this time, Chi Jian also followed his master out of the shelter from the rain.

Chi Jian's body is dry all over, and the rain from the outside cannot get close to Chi Jian's body. There is a three-foot air shield on the surface of Chi Jian's body.

On the contrary, Li Huwei and the old Taoist priest chased him out holding oilcloth umbrellas.

"Taoist Jin'an, Taoist Chen, come and take a look. There seems to be sparks and smoke rising from cooking in the village?"

Suddenly, Guard Li from the other direction shouted in surprise.

A few people went over to take a look, and sure enough, they saw a village at the foot of the mountain, with sparks shining brightly and dimly, just like the flames rising from the stove in the kitchen.

Is that Taoyuan Village?

"Little brother, now that Taoyuan Village has been found, should we go there now or wait until daytime?"

The old Taoist priest's question immediately made everyone present look at Jin An.

Unknowingly, Jin An was the backbone of this team, and everyone was waiting for Jin An to make up his mind.

Snap!

The sound of footsteps shattered the rainy night. In this rainy night, which was windy and rainy, and the quilt was cold and the pillow was cold, it sounded very suddenly, and instantly interrupted the conversation of several people.

The footsteps came from the direction of the hanging road behind me.

"Hey, was I hallucinating just now? I seemed to hear footsteps behind us?"

Li Weiwei looked behind him in surprise.

But as Li Huowei looked behind him in surprise, the footsteps disappeared out of thin air, so Li Huawei wondered if he was hearing something.

And at this moment, Li Huwei was surprised to see that the rain above his head had stopped at some point.

But not long after the mountains were silent, the sound of footsteps came again, empty and far away in the dark, calm and invisible mountains.

Snap!

Snap!

Jin An's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he stared directly at the road behind him without flinching.

At this time, even the old Taoist priest put his hand nervously into the Tai Chi Bagua bag draped over his shoulder, holding a large number of yellow talismans in his hand.

On the other hand, Chi Jian still has that taciturn and dumb look. If you don't take the initiative to poke him, he will be too lazy to move.
