I found a place in the mountain temple to lie down, but my mind kept going over the mission again and again.

I was sure that from the moment we set off, we had fallen into a trap set by someone more than three hundred years ago.

Lao Liu knew that I was going to break the demon god's curse on Ye Yang, and he had obtained the exact location of the Snow Mountain Temple even before I returned from Erlin Town.

With Lao Liu's style, he would naturally start laying out a plan, and his biggest source of information was the "Yellow Springs Secret Files."

According to the content of the Yellow Springs Secret Files, he found the eight nodes on the periphery of the Burial God Snow Mountain and arranged the road to the snow mountain for me. But on the way, I ran into the secret treasure left by Chen Qingyan.

Leaving aside the pursuit of the Reincarnation Department, let's just talk about the eight nodes.

The so-called eight secret realms should be where the Eight Great Bandits placed the things they stole from the temple on the periphery of the Snow Mountain.

Since they were stealing treasures, why didn't they take the things away? Instead, they left the secret treasures outside to besiege the Snow Mountain?

I think these eight secret treasures are not the demon god's things, but spiritual weapons used to suppress the demon god back then. The Eight Great Bandits moved the secret treasures not to free the demon god, but to expand his range of activity a little bit.

The Eight Great Bandits moved the secret treasures to allow the demon god to be active within the Snow Mountain range, but not to let him descend the mountain!

Why did they do this?

Waiting for Ye Qianyang?

I suddenly shivered: if that were the case, it would be too terrible.

Was the other party treating the demon god, the Ye family, the Two Worlds Hall, and even the entire sorcerer's path as toys in his hands, manipulating them at will?

No!

I don't believe there is such a terrifying person in the world!

There must still be some flaws in his layout, but I haven't found them yet.

Perhaps Lao Liu discovered this, which is why he divided us into four groups to approach the Burial God Snow Mountain at the same time.

Another point is that Chen Qingyan of the Eight Great Bandits clearly had some intention of guiding us to ascend the Snow Mountain.

Could it be that Chen Qingyan actually wanted us to get rid of the demon god on the mountain?

This operation is a bit inexplicable, isn't it?

A flash of inspiration suddenly struck my mind:

I understand!

There is a biggest loophole in Chen Qingyan's secret letter—that is, he only mentioned that someone with the surname Ye would return to the Snow Mountain to find the secret letter, but he didn't mention Ye Yang's name.

If the person behind the Eight Great Bandits could predict the future, why couldn't he figure out Ye Yang's name?

From this, I can deduce a conclusion.

Back then, the Eight Great Bandits also signed a contract with the demon god, but the way they signed the contract was different from Ye Qianyang's. They chose to force the other party to sign unconditionally.

The Eight Great Bandits' bargaining chip for suppressing the demon god was the eight secret treasures they stole from the temple.

The reason why the Eight Great Bandits hadn't left the Burial God Snow Mountain after signing the contract with the demon god was that they were still besieging the demon god.

It wasn't until many years later, when Ye Qianyang went up the mountain and signed a contract with the demon god, that they feigned death and left the Snow Mountain.

Because the Eight Great Bandits could be sure that the condition of Ye Qianyang's contract was to hunt down the Eight Great Bandits and take back the secret treasures.

Only in this way would the demon god feel at ease and continue to slumber.

The Eight Great Bandits were afraid of the demon god, but not afraid of Ye Qianyang.

The facts proved that Ye Qianyang did not find the Eight Great Bandits.

If Ye Qianyang couldn't complete the contract, his descendants would not be able to escape the demon god's curse and would have to come back to find the demon god to break the curse sooner or later.

Therefore, no matter which direction we went to the Burial God Snow Mountain from, we would encounter legends in some village and would inevitably be attracted by the strange events that happened under the sacred mountain and want to find out what was going on.

This wasn't because warlocks were so curious that they didn't know what was important, but because there has always been a consensus in the warlock world that if a haunted house is near an ominous place, the ghost must be related to the ominous place, and investigating it may yield unexpected gains.

Just like Qingyan Village, which I just experienced.

Half of the secret documents left by the Eight Great Bandits came from calculating the days, and half came from their reasoning.

If I'm not mistaken, before Ye Qianyang entered the Burial God Snow Mountain, he might have had his fortune told by someone, or one of the Eight Great Bandits stopped Ye Qianyang and calculated his fate for him.

Through Ye Qianyang, they calculated the things that might happen in later generations.

When Ye Qianyang arrived at the Burial God Snow Mountain back then, he must have been very confused and even had a trace of fear for the future. People at this time are more likely to believe in fate and need external forces to help him strengthen his confidence.

Even if Ye Qianyang was a generation of heroes, he couldn't escape the confusion in his fate.

From the beginning, I felt that Chen Qingyan was guiding us to the Burial God Snow Mountain, and now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

I even think that Chen Qingyan will leave me other hints to guide us step by step to slay the god.

When the time is right, I will probably be able to see the clues he left.

However, there is still one thing I don't understand, and that is, who is the person who is secretly helping me?

Are the Eight Great Bandits still nearby?

Doesn't seem like it!

The Yin Division and the ghosts and gods are all hunting down the Eight Great Bandits. They will not appear easily, let alone wait for someone in a certain place.

However, I believe that person will meet us sooner or later.

I figured out half of the mystery before falling into a deep sleep, but I didn't expect that the clue appeared in my dream.
