230, Ghost Villa
Lingyu lagged behind, the coercion was not released, the little girl took the lead in drilling, and before she could make a sound, she heard the woman's loud voice: "Dead girl, come back so early, you will only be lazy all day long, let you go to solicit customers, what are you doing......"
The little girl tried to argue, but she never found a chance to interject, and it was not until Lingyu stood in front of the woman that her voice suddenly stopped.
This is a sturdy woman, with a somewhat similar appearance to the little girl, especially the eyebrows and eyes, and she can be recognized as a mother and daughter at a glance. Like this little girl, she only has a meager aura on her body, and she only has the appearance of refining qi.
In the small city of cultivating immortals, there are many low-level cultivators like this, they are not qualified, and they don't have enough money, they are not willing to be mortals, but they are not enough to continue walking.
"Immortals, cyclamen?" Seeing Lingyu, the woman seemed a little incredulous, and immediately showed a flattering smile, "The cyclamen wants to stay?" We offer a variety of types, you see, with whole courtyards, with individual rooms......"
The woman was skilled in business, and spoke very quickly to introduce her.
Lingyu said: "It's good to have a separate room, let's stay for three days first!" As he spoke, he threw over a spirit stone.
"Great!" The woman took the spirit stone, untied a jade plaque from her waist, and handed it to the little girl, "Take the cyclamen to the room, so that you can wait for it, you know?" ”
"I know...... the little girl replied in a low voice, and bowed to Lingyu, "Senior, please come with me." ”
The room arranged for Lingyu is located at the back, with rows of bamboo houses, although it is not big, it is clean and refreshing. If you want to talk about the disadvantage, it is that the aura is too thin, and it is estimated that it is only next to the edge of a certain spiritual vein. There is a faint aura coming through.
A place for the monks to live. There are no spiritual veins. It's completely different. If you have a spiritual vein, the price will be increased by at least three times. However, spiritual veins are very scarce, and most inns are built in places where there are no spiritual veins.
A good spiritual vein is the foundation of a sect. The good spiritual veins are all occupied by the big sects, and some of them have built the Great Immortal City, and a small city like them only has fragmentary spiritual veins. All of them are occupied by powerful families.
If you want to live in a place where there are spiritual veins, there are probably only two paths. One is the fairy city, and the other is to rent the cave mansion opened up by certain forces. The latter is by no means comparable to the former, because the Great Cultivation Immortal Family is in Damengze, and the scattered cultivation forces are entrenched in the Xingluo Sea, and there are very few Cultivation Immortal Families who can occupy a good spiritual vein.
After settling Lingyu down, the little girl said, "If the seniors have something, just summon it, in the afternoon and evening." The younger generations are here. With that, he was about to leave.
"There's no hurry." Lingyu called her and threw a spirit stone. "I'm new here, and tell me what's going on here."
"Yes." The little girl took the spirit stone and showed surprise on her face, "If the seniors have anything to ask, the juniors will definitely know everything." ”
"Tell me what specialties there are here, and there are rumors and so on." When he came, Lingyu didn't pick a place, he chose a flying boat at random, and only knew that this place was called Feng'an City.
The question of Lingyu is the first thing that most traveling monks need to understand when they arrive at a place. Specialty things, bought locally are always cheaper than other fairy cities, maybe you can come across some good and cheap goods, a small profit. As for rumors, this is the main way to search for opportunities.
The little girl was no stranger to this question, and she did not hesitate at the moment: "Don't hide it from the seniors, Feng'an City's spiritual veins are not good, and there are no famous specialties, but it is close to Pinghai City, and you can buy all kinds of ice crystals produced in Pinghai City relatively cheaply." As for the rumors......"
Just came from Pinghai City, of course Lingyu was not interested in buying Pinghai City's specialties, even if she wanted to buy it, just send a letter to Ding Haoxuan to buy more. Since there is nothing to say about the materials, let's see if there is a possibility of encountering chance.
“…… In addition, the most famous thing in our Feng'an City is the legend of the Ghost Mountain Villa. ”
"Ghost Hills?"
"Exactly." The little girl nodded vigorously, "Most of what I said to my predecessors just now are rumors that have been confirmed, but the Ghost Villa has been circulating for decades and has not yet been revealed. ”
"Oh?" Lingyu became a little interested. Although Feng'an City is a small city, there are few monks who pass by, but there are many foundation building monks who come and go, and the rumors of this ghost mountain villa can last for decades, it seems that it is really a bit unexpected.
"Fifty or sixty years ago, we had a family surnamed Pei in Feng'an City, and there were three foundation building monks, which was very beautiful. They built a mountain villa on Fengshan Mountain in the west of the city, called Biluo Mountain Villa. The Pei family has been prosperous for more than ten years, and Biluo Villa has also been beautiful for more than ten years, at that time, many foundation building predecessors came to Feng'an City, and they would go to Biluo Villa to meet ......"
“…… About forty years ago, the eldest lady of the Pei family gave birth to a young lady, it is said that when she was born, the room was full of strange fragrance, and the sun was in her arms. The old lady of the Pei family tested the qualifications of this young lady and found that she had wonderful roots, and she was overjoyed, and threw a banquet ......"
The rumor that the little girl said is quite mysterious, and from Lingyu's point of view, most of the exaggerations are artificially processed. Also, a rumor has been circulating for decades, and it always changes.
The Pei family gave birth to this talented young lady, so they put all their hopes on her. The three foundation-building monks of the Pei family are not very good in qualifications, and when they cultivate to build a foundation, they are almost at the end. If you can cultivate a Jiedan monk, the status of the family will be greatly improved, at least it will be no problem to walk sideways in Feng'an City.
The old lady of the Pei family worked hard in this direction, and the youngest granddaughter began to give her a forging body when she was five or six years old, intending to send her to a certain gate sect when she was ten years old.
This Miss Pei family is indeed talented, at the age of only ten years, she has reached the third level of qi refining, at this rate, seventeen or eighteen can be perfected in qi refining, impacting the foundation.
Such a talent, even in a large sect, is rare, and it is no problem to ask for a real person to be a master.
The accident happened when Miss Pei was about to go to Zhenhua Xianmen to apprentice. Feng'an City is located in the Two Emperors Mountain Range, and the best choice for apprenticeship is the Zhenhua Immortal Sect, the Zixiao Sword Sect, and the Extreme Yi Sect. The Zixiao Sword Sect only accepts male disciples, and the Extreme Yi Sect acts a little too extremely, and the best choice is the Zhenhua Immortal Sect. The Pei family even contacted the disciples of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect who had made good friends, and directly introduced them to a certain Jiedan real person when the time came.
Just one day before departure, Biluo Villa held a banquet and invited the disciples of Zhenhua Xianmen who came to pick up people, and it was lively all night. Unexpectedly, the next day, there was no movement in Biluo Villa, no gongs and drums, and no servants came out. The restaurant that undertook the banquet sent people to collect the accounts, only to find that the people of the entire Biluo Villa had disappeared cleanly!
"All gone?" Lingyu asked suspiciously.
"Yes." The little girl nodded and said, "There is no one alive, no corpse is dead, it is said that not even a dog can be found, and all living creatures are gone." ”
Lingyu groaned: "All living creatures disappeared overnight, couldn't it be swallowed by something?" ”
The little girl shook her head: "The people in the restaurant said that there was not a drop of blood in the villa, and it didn't look like a murderous thing." ”
This is strange, in addition to being eaten, what is the possibility that so many living creatures will disappear at the same time?
"And then? Among the people who disappeared, there was a disciple of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect, could it be that the Zhenhua Immortal Sect didn't send someone to investigate? ”
"Yes, the Zhenhua Immortal Sect sent someone to check, but nothing was found. That disciple, who had an average status in the sect, did not continue to investigate. ”
Lingyu can understand this statement. What is the disappearance of a foundation building disciple? For a sect like the Zhenhua Immortal Sect, unless it is a monk who has disappeared, he will try his best to find out to the end, otherwise, it is not worth spending too much.
"Over the years, there must have been many monks who have checked it?"
"Hmm." The little girl nodded, "Many people say that it is either a murderous thing or a treasure to make the people of Biluo Mountain Villa disappear overnight. ”
Everyone understands that there are opportunities in risks. However, even the disciples of the Zhenhua Immortal Sect have not found out what is going on, and it may be difficult to dig out the reason.
"What happened? What about those people? ”
The little girl replied, "Later, there have been rumors of hauntings in Biluo Villa, but we monks don't believe this, it's just that mortals say it. Most of the seniors who went to Biluo Villa to investigate came back without finding anything, and a small number of them were missing, just like the original people, no one was seen alive or dead. Gradually, the name of Ghost Mountain Villa, even the monks began to spread like this. ”
“…… I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die," Lingyu pinched her fingers, "It's really interesting." ”
"Everyone says that there is a ghost hidden in Ghost Hill, and if you are unfortunate enough to wake up to it, it will become its belly food."
Lingyu felt that this statement was very nonsense. They are not mortals, and they are in awe and believe in ghost legends. There are indeed souls and spirits in this world, but they are not as terrifying as the legends of mortals say. It is very difficult for the soul to become a ghost cultivator, and there are very few ghost cultivators in Ling Cangcun, and there are not a few of them. And the so-called monsters are actually demon monks.
Whether it's a ghost cultivator or a demon cultivator, they are all monks, but they just follow different cultivation paths, just like them human monks, thinking about it like this, what is there to be afraid of? When you see it, you have to call each other a word of friendship!
Besides, the ghosts and demons do not eat people for a living, and there is no irresolvable hatred between them and humans.
"Senpai." The little girl hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Last month, we had a guest here, who seemed to be inquiring about the Ghost Villa, if you are interested in this matter, you might as well go to him." ”
"Oh?"
"That senior lives at No. 8 Huangzi, and he will go out to inquire about the news during the day and come back at night."
Lingyu nodded: "I know, thank you very much." ”
The little girl smiled timidly: "Don't dare to thank you, I don't know what else the seniors have to order?" ”
Lingyu waved her hand: "Ask me for some tea." Also, grab another map. ”
"Yes, senior, wait a minute." (To be continued......)
