I heard Su Ping say that the man in black wanted to find some answers in the water cave, and I couldn't help but take a closer look at him. I felt that this man in black was not simple, as if he had some secrets hidden on his body.

  No more delay, the three of us started to restart the mechanism again. However, in the process of starting the mechanism, the man in black was unable to help at all. He was too weak and didn't look like a man at all, not even as energetic as Su Ping.

  But I can see that he seems to be born without energy, not sneaky or cunning, let him hold that small tree, his hands are dragging it with difficulty, and he's sweating profusely...

  After we opened the mechanism, the three of us walked into the stone gate and finally arrived at the stone chamber on the other side of the river in the water cave where Han Jingjing was.

  After we arrived here, we saw that Han Jingjing was still sleeping there at this moment. After seeing Han Jingjing, I whispered to the man in black: "Ah Cong big brother, can you help me see what's wrong with Han Jingjing?"

  Seeing me speak to him like this, the man in black frowned and then said to me: "Wake her up first."

  I heard that I had to wake up Korean crystal, so I was going to walk over and push her. However, at this time, Su Ping reminded me on the side.

  "You don't have to try so hard, I reckon if you just get close enough to her, she'll wake up on her own due to being startled."

  Su Ping's words reminded me of the scene where Han Jingjing was sleeping soundly, I wanted to get close to her, but she suddenly woke up and stabbed me with a knife. So I swallowed my saliva and moved closer to Han Jingjing.

  It was as if she had a premonition of the danger around her, and just when I approached her within ten or so centimeters, Han Jingjing's eyes suddenly opened, and without hesitation, she stabbed me with a flying knife.

  I knew she would fly over and stab me, so I had already taken precautions and quickly dodged and retreated.

  After I left, Han Jingjing's eyes were still staring at me in a daze, then her body swayed and she was about to continue sleeping.

  But just at this moment, the man in black beside me suddenly shouted

  "Ah!"

  This sudden shout not only startled me and Su Ping, but also startled Han Jingjing. When Han Jingjing looked at the black-clothed man with her eyes fixed on him, the black-clothed man's eyes suddenly became sharp. At this moment, the black-clothed man's eyes were exactly like those of the witch who had stared at Han Jingjing earlier.

  When Hei looked at Han Jingjing, Han Jingjing also looked back at the man in black. The two locked eyes, unmoving for a long time.

  After staring at the man in black for a long time, Han Jingjing suddenly spoke up.

  "Big... big brother."

  The man in black clothes with a sharp gaze said to Han Jingjing, "Be good, put down the dagger in your hand and go to sleep."

  "Oh!" Han Jingjing nodded obediently and threw away the dagger in her hand, then lay down to sleep.

  After Hei Jingjing fell asleep, the man in black finally blinked his eyes forcefully and shook his head, then said to me with some fatigue: "Now you should be able to touch her without any problem."

  Hearing what the man in black said, I walked over and when I got close to Han Jingjing, she was indeed fine.

  Witnessing such a miraculous scene, I truly admired this man in black, he is a real god!

  I walked up to Jingjing's side and stroked her messy hair with my hand, feeling a pang in my heart that almost brought me to tears.

  After I patted Han Jingjing's messy hair, I asked the man in black: "A Cong big brother, what happened to Han Jingjing?"

  Seeing me ask this, the man in black pinched his chin and replied to me: "This is a trick that the witch often uses. She hypnotized Han Jingjing."

  "I had guessed that too, earlier the witch had also told Jiaying something about a sleeping spell." I replied.

  The man in black continued, "Others only know that the witch is good at witchcraft, but in fact, the witch is best at hypnotizing people and using elixirs to confuse their minds. The hypnosis technique used by Jinjin is actually not scary, as long as no one uses a hypnotic gaze to intimidate her for a long time and doesn't feed her elixirs that harm brain nerves, she will slowly recover. However, Jinjin's brain nerves have already been damaged by the witch's elixir, and it may take a very long time to recover in the future. Fortunately, the injury is not severe, and there is still hope for rescue."

  When I heard what the man in black said, my heart sank to the bottom. However, the three words "there is still hope" comforted me a lot.

  "But..."

  "What is it?" The black-clad man's words made my heart tighten.

  "But I advise you, it's better not to let Han Jingjing leave from here, otherwise, you will be harming her, sending her to her death!"

  "Huh? How could it harm her? How could it get her killed? What do you mean?" I was completely baffled.

  "You may not know, every woman in the village has been implanted with a Gu by the witch, which means their lives are all at the mercy of the witch's thoughts. If the witch sees that Jingjing is taken away, if you were the witch, what do you think you would do?"

  "I..."

  I was stunned by the man in black's question.

  Yes! Han Jingjing's body has been cursed by the witch, if I were the witch, and Han Jingjing suddenly disappeared, then I would definitely make the poison in her body take effect, and wouldn't let her leave alive.

  But... Han Feiyan has said that she seems to have gotten the antidote to remove the Gu poison from Han Jingjing's body, so it looks like taking her out isn't impossible after all!

  After some thought, I finally made a decision. For the time being, let Han Jingjing stay here and not alarm anyone. After I go out and ask Han Feiyan to bring back the antidote for the Gu poison, then come back and give it to Han Jingjing to eat. If the Gu poison on Han Jingjing's body is thoroughly cured, by that time, it won't be too late for me to take her away.

  Yes! That's right, it can only be guaranteed that Han Jingjing is safe and sound in this way.

  Although I had already made up my mind, I didn't show it on the surface. As for Han Feiyan saying that the Gu poison on her body was removed and she found an antidote to remove the Gu poison from Han Jingjing's body, I would never say such a thing. Some secrets between each other, I don't want a third person to know...

  "After I thought about it, I said to the man in black: 'It seems that only Han Jingjing can stay here.'"

  "Hmm! It can only be done this way, but don't worry, Su Ping has taken away the blood leeches that Wu Po Po painstakingly cultivated on her face, which means Wu Po Po won't be able to find good Gu worms to experiment on Han Jingjing for a while, so Han Jingjing is safe. Later, I'll use the hypnosis method I learned from Wu Po Po to put her back into the hypnotic state that Wu Po Po had induced in her, just in case Wu Po Po comes back and discovers something."

  I heard the man in black say this, so I asked him: "Ah Cong big brother, how is hypnosis formed after all? Why can it make people hallucinate and be controlled by others? It's like being a fool?"

  When I asked this, the man in black smiled and said: "Ordinary hypnosis is through eye contact, a person's psychology and some words that make a person's spiritual level change, thereby achieving a hypnotic effect. But what I learned from Witch Grandma is not the most ordinary kind of hypnosis. This hypnosis needs to be combined with other things, such as Gu poison. In the future, if there is an opportunity, I can let you know. But for now, I still can't tell you."

  I understood what the man in black said, which is that they don't want me to know too much. To put it bluntly, they are on guard against me. But I can fully accept this, after all, there are some things that no one wants outsiders to know, just like the magic tricks performed on stage in real life...

  After the man in black made me walk away from Jingjing, he began to hypnotize Jingjing again and successfully made her grasp the dagger once more before falling into a deep sleep.

  After doing all this, the man in black let out a sigh of relief, then he nodded to me and Su Ping before hurrying away by himself.

  I saw the man in black leave, and I asked Su Ping: "Where did he go?"

  Didn't I tell you? The answer he's looking for is here, but he went to look for that so-called answer.

  "What's with the secrecy?" I asked again.

  Listen to me, Su Ping looked at Han Jingjing in the stone room, then narrowed her eyes and thoughtfully said to me in a low voice: "Everyone has their own objects they want to protect, for example you, you are working hard to protect Han Jingjing. I am working hard to save the very important person in my heart. And the black-clothed man is also working hard to find that answer for the person he wants to protect..."
