Chapter 131: The Monster on the Mountain
The boss looked mysterious, but Qin Xiangya felt a little nervous.
She pulled Liu Wanru's sleeve and said softly: "Why don't we stop listening? Didn't Qingzhu say there is a secret passage? If we enter through the secret passage, we won't encounter those... things."
Liu Wanru patted Qin Xiangya's hand and signaled her not to worry. She turned around and continued to ask the store owner: "Boss, don't keep it aside, tell us."
The shop owner paused and said, "It's not that I was trying to scare you on purpose. There were college students like you who had never believed in evil and wanted to go up the mountain to explore. But after coming down from the mountain, they were all stupid, and they didn't know anything about it. There were even people who couldn't even remember their names."
The more he said this, the more curious Liu Wanru was, and asked: "These people have all come down from the mountain, but they just lost their memories, right?"
"Isn't this enough? Because no one is missing, these things have not attracted attention in society. But I have seen those people who came down from the mountains with their own eyes, those people's eyes are dull and slow, and they are really like they have bumped into evil."
"There are more and more people who are catching evil spirits, and the news of monsters on this mountain spread. I didn't expect that in this way, more people ran up the mountain and said they wanted to explore. I want to tell me, these young people just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong. No matter how powerful people are, can they beat monsters? You guys, listen to my advice and go back."
After hearing what he said, Qingzhu felt a little numb from scalp. Why hadn't he ever heard from Master Daoist that there was something strange on the mountain?
"You just said that something strange happened half a year ago. What's the matter?" Qingzhu asked.
The shop owner walked to the door, looked outside, confirmed that it was safe, then turned around and closed the door, sat down and continued, "Half a year ago, a robbery happened here. The criminals were desperate and fled into the mountains. The police chased them in, but after three days, neither the police nor the criminal came out. Later, the police sent people in to look for it, but nothing was found. Five policemen and one criminal disappeared in the mountains."
The shop owner lowered his head and sighed, suddenly raised his head and said, "Don't go out and talk nonsense about what I'm talking about to you. I just told you that you are all college students and have high quality. We have issued a ban on the local area, and no one can mention this."

Qin Xiangya took the conversation and replied: "I'm afraid of causing social panic. It doesn't matter if the criminals disappear. There is something wrong with the police, so it's very troublesome."
"I didn't expect you, a little girl, to understand quite well. Since you understand, go back quickly, don't turn yourself in." The shop owner was still trying his best to persuade the four of them.
Qingzhu thought about it and felt that the boss was also out of kindness, so she told him the truth: "Boss, we are not going up the mountain, we are going to the foot of the mountain, and we have a friend living there."
After hearing what he said, the shop owner's eyes were full of surprise: "Oh? You said that small yard at the foot of the mountain? There is an old man living in it. He has lived here for decades. How do you know?"
"That's our friend, we're here to find him."
The shop owner still couldn't hide his surprise, but he thought again that since they knew Mr. Zhao's residence, they must have known Mr. Zhao. As for why Mr. Zhao, who is in his seventies, would know these young people in front of him, he didn't think much about it.
"Since that's the case, you can go quickly. If it's too late, Mr. Zhao may have gone out."
After hearing this, the four of them thanked the shop owner and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
"Do we want to go up the mountain to have a look? Maybe we can see some fun things?" Liu Wanru said.
"That boss said so sternly, it's quite scary. Let's stop taking risks." Qin Xiangya finished speaking and looked at Qingyun, "What do you think?"
"I, I also think it's too scary, so I'd better go back to Xianyun Pavilion and ask the master before talking about it." Qingyun said.
"Qingzhu, what do you think?" The three of them looked at Qingzhu who was not talking.
Qingzhu didn't answer, just said one sentence: "It's already here."
The three of them looked in the direction pointed by Qingzhu and saw a small farmhouse yard not far away. Outside the door, several hens were circling around the vegetable garden, and a rippling of smoke was rising in the yard.
"It seems that Uncle Master is at home, let's go there quickly."
After Qingzhu finished speaking, she walked forward quickly. Seeing this, the other three people hurriedly followed.
"You guys are coming so fast."
As soon as Qingzhu and others stepped into the yard, they heard a thick and powerful voice coming from the house.
Qingzhu replied respectfully: "Disciple Guanyun's disciple Qingzhu has met his uncle."
Qingyun then politely said, "Disciple Qingyun, I have met my uncle."
"Okay, there's no need to talk about so many vulgar etiquettes. Come in with you guys."
The four of them walked into the house. The furnishings in the house were very simple, but they were just tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans. They could see them all at first glance.
"I've prepared the meal here, so you can have some together. After eating, go into the mountain with me."
The old man in front of him was called his uncle by Qingyun Qingzhu. He was seen as his breath, steady steps, and straight waist. He really didn't look like a 70-year-old.
After hearing his words, Qingzhu asked, "Master, are you going to Xianyun Pavilion with us?"
The old man said, "It's not going to Xianyun Pavilion, but to the mountain. I guess you heard rumors when you came. I know you are all very curious, so let's go in with me to take a look."
"But Master, everyone at the foot of the mountain said there are monsters in the mountain..."
"Haha, all monsters are just spreading through rumors. I want to see who they are, and they dare to pretend to be a ghost under my Xianyun Pavilion's nose."
"That's great, Master, we can go with you, right?" Liu Wanru was happy when she heard that the old man was about to enter the mountain.
The old man glanced at Liu Wanru and Qin Xiangya and said, "Are you two little girls afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of? You are the uncle of Qingyun and Qingzhu. If you say it's okay, then there's definitely nothing wrong." Liu Wanru had an expectant expression on her face.
"Haha, I didn't expect you, a little girl, to be quite good at speaking. It's dangerous, but there is really no. Since you are not afraid, just go with us."
After saying that, the old man stood up, picked up a basket in the corner of the wall, and was about to walk towards the door, but suddenly stopped. His ears moved slightly and he smiled and said, "Your friends are here. Since that's the case, let's wait for him to come before leaving." (To be continued)
