Chapter 19 The Secret
Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Lu Qingshan walked to the village in a swaggering manner.
Along the way, villagers kept looking at Lu Qingshan secretly, but just looking at the faces of these villagers, Lu Qingshan felt more and more something was wrong.
Why do they all look so weird, their lips are blue and purple, as if they are poisoned, and each one of them exudes a faint floral fragrance, and the taste is exactly the same.
But looking at the behavior of these people, they look very normal and don't look like something is wrong.
The middle-aged man took Lu Qingshan to a wooden building in the village that had the most spiritual energy.
It is strange to say that this wooden building is not far from the residence of other mortals, and there is no spiritual veins underground, but the spiritual energy is much more abundant than elsewhere.
Moreover, here, the strange floral fragrance that can be smelled on the villagers is actually a bit stronger again.
For monks, the more spiritual energy they have, the more beneficial it is to their cultivation.
"Village chief." The middle-aged man shouted outside the wooden building.
"What's the matter?" came an old voice from the wooden building.
"A monk from outside the mountain is visiting." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
Although the middle-aged man is just a mortal, he is very special. When Lu Qingshan announced his family name and came from outside the mountain, he realized that Lu Qingshan's true identity should be a monk.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lu Qingshan heard the rapid footsteps coming from the wooden building.
With a creak, the wooden door was opened.
Lu Qingshan squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the so-called village chief who came out.
This is an old man who is more than seventy years old, with gray hair, a bit hunched back, and his head is also wrapped with a piece of black cloth.
He is also the tenth-level monk with the highest cultivation level in this village.
Seeing Lu Qingshan's young appearance, the village chief was stunned for a moment unconsciously, but he quickly came to his senses and greeted him warmly: "This distinguished guest is here, please come in and talk first."
Lu Qingshan was not polite and walked into the wooden building.
But as soon as he stepped into the wooden door, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but be startled when he saw the scene in the hall.
In the center of the wooden building, there is a small black earth pool. There are many dark crystal fragments in the earth pool.
Dozens of strange plants with black petals are growing among the crystal fragments in Tutan, emitting a strange smell and a faint aura.
That smell was exactly the floral fragrance that Lu Qingshan smelled.
But what really surprised Lu Qingshan was that the appearance of these strange flowers turned out to be exactly the same as the blooming spirit flower!
It's just that the petals of the blooming spirit flower are pink and look very beautiful, but the plant in front of me has black petals, and even the flower bones are black, which looks extremely weird.
Although he was surprised in his heart, Lu Qingshan did not show it. After taking a glance, he never looked again.
The village chief asked Lu Qingshan to sit down and offered him a cup of tea, "This is Biyun tea, which has the effect of clearing the mind and nourishing the mind."
Lu Qingshan took the tea and just held it in his hand without drinking it.
"I wonder what you call fellow Taoist?" the village chief asked, "I'm Sang Ku."
"Lu Qingshan."
"Fellow Daoist Lu," Sang Ku immediately changed his words and said, "I heard that Friend Lu Daoist is from outside the mountains?"
"That's right," Lu Qingshan nodded, "I accidentally entered the depths of the Three Thousand Mountains. Now I'm lost and don't know how to get out. I wonder if Village Chief Sang has a map of this place. If you can give me a copy, I will definitely
Thank you very much."
Sang Ku's eyes flashed.
Their village is located deep in the Three Thousand Mountains. Unless it was intentional, how could there be any possibility of accidentally entering this place?
The reason is very simple. Can you accidentally walk from Qingzhou to Ningzhou?
But even though he knew this in his heart, he was very sensible and didn't say much. Instead, he took out a piece of parchment from the storage bag hanging on his waist and handed it to Lu Qingshan without hesitation.
"This is the map of Three Thousand Mountains. Although it is simple and rough, there should be no problem in helping fellow Taoists leave here." Sang Ku said, stroking his beard.
Lu Qingshan was overjoyed and quickly took the parchment, only to see a few points marked very roughly on it, drawing the terrain of the mountains, and finally using a red line to mark a route away from the Three Thousand Mountains.
After remembering the map deeply in his mind, Lu Qingshan asked again: "Have you seen a little deer demon recently, Fellow Daoist Sang, with two golden horns..."
Lu Qingshan and Sang Kui described Ichiban Chenghuang's appearance in detail.
Sang Ku thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Seeing the disappointed expression on Lu Qingshan's face, Sang Ku immediately added: "But maybe someone in the village has seen it. I can call all the villagers to help you ask about the situation."
Lu Qingshan was overjoyed and thanked: "Then I'll bother you, Fellow Daoist Sang."
Sang Ku shook his hand and said, "It's just a small matter."
"Sang Yin." Sang Ku called out.
The middle-aged man who was waiting outside the door immediately walked in and said respectfully: "Village Chief."
"Gather all the residents of the village here. I have something to ask them."
"Understood." Sang Yin quickly retreated.
…………
But after a while, the sound of soft footsteps could be heard outside the wooden building, and more and more villagers began to gather.
"Village Chief, everyone in the village is outside." Soon, Sang Yin walked in and reported to the village chief Sangku.
Sang Ku nodded, "Friend Lu, let's go out."
After leaving the wooden building, I saw the open space in front of the wooden building, which was already bustling with people.
Since Sangku was talking about all the villagers, even the young children came.
Standing at the front were a dozen monks from the village.
Seeing the village chief come out, the crowd that was still talking about each other suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Sang Ku.
This situation actually surprised Lu Qingshan.
It seems that the prestige of Sangku Village Chief is very high.
"Dear villagers, this distinguished guest, wants to find a monster. This monster looks like a deer, with a pure white body and two golden horns on its head. Have any of you seen it during this time?
?" Sangku's spiritual power was used in the sound, spreading to the ears of every villager.
Nearly a thousand villagers looked at each other, but no one stood up and spoke.
After waiting for a long time, Sang Ku showed a disappointed look on his face and apologized to Lu Qingshan: "Friend Lu Dao, it seems there is no news."
"Fellow Daoist Sang not only gave me the map, but was also willing to go to such trouble for me. I can't thank you enough." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, but his eyes flashed, "I don't know what kind of trouble Village Chief Sang has encountered.
As long as you tell me, if I can help, I will try my best to help."
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
He obviously didn't know Sang Ku, but Sang Ku was so enthusiastic towards him, either because he had other plans for him, or because he wanted something from him.
Given the difference in cultivation between the two, it is obvious that the latter is more likely.
Being exposed by Lu Qingshan's words, Sang Ku's eyes flickered, and he no longer looked at Zuo Yan, and simply confessed frankly, "I do have something, and I want to ask fellow Daoist Lu to help."
Lu Qingshan said nothing and waited for what was to be said.
