Chapter Seventy-Three: Two Trees
On Gu Qing's parents' side, several people also encountered an unexpected cold reception.
"Son, you are also a big boss, why are you still dating some indiscriminate people?"
"Dad, what do you say? Did you say that this was a distinguished guest invited by the village chief? Come and help us cast out the wicked. ”
"You've learned to lie, haven't you? What's wrong with our village? Where did you bring these people with you? ”
Although separated from the room, the conversation between the two still clearly reached the ears of several people. Where can these Jianghu people endure such grievances, they want to go back immediately, only Xia Mu walked around with interest to check.
"Big brother, Senior Xia, let's go, don't care if they live or die."
Guan Xin was a little hesitant, after all, they had seen the coffin with their own eyes, and there was indeed something strange here, but the locals did not cooperate, and it was difficult to continue the investigation.
He looked at Natsuki and asked, "What did the seniors say?" ”
Since there are ready-made thighs, don't hug white.
"It's all said, don't call me senior." Natsuki said, "But I want to ask you, is this how you are an evil spirit hunter?" Then this profession is too child's play. ”
"Uh...... We are stupid, please speak up, my lord. ”
"How do you know that these people are not deceived by the strange and deliberately tricked you back?"
"But my lord, if this evil spirit can control the entire village, we are afraid that we will not be able to catch it."
Natsuki smiled and shook his head.
Guan Xin suddenly understood, "What my lord means, since this evil spirit intends to drive us out, it is naturally because he is afraid of us, he can confuse so many villagers, he must have used all means, and his absolute strength must be inferior to ours." ”
"It's just that the villagers don't cooperate, we can't investigate the origin of the evil spirit, and it's difficult to find him."
Xia Mu knocked on the coffin next to him and said, "Needless to say, the strangeness of the people in the village, don't you think it's strange that these coffins are placed here?" ”
After coming here, Natsuki found that each villager had one or several coffins in the courtyard. There is indeed a custom in the village to prepare a longevity coffin for the elderly in advance, but Gu Qing's parents obviously did not need to build a longevity coffin.
Thinking of the coffin they saw before they came in, Natsuki had to think of them.
Of course, Natsuki's judgment came more from the results of the identification technique.
【Two Life Coffins】(Special Ritual Weapon)
Crafted from two raw wood trimmings, two souls sleep in it, awakened at the alternation of yin and yang.
Two souls? Whose soul.
Xia Mu did not tell what he had found, but asked everyone to disperse, looking for more traces, of course, considering the strangeness of the village, he specially ordered a few people to be in a group and not to be too far apart.
Natsuki wandered around the village alone. The cold gaze around him was not taken to his heart, because he did not feel any malice in these people, either because these people were just unwelcome and did not want to hurt them, or it could be that the expressions on these people's faces were just an illusion.
Natsuki didn't talk to them boringly, but walked slowly to the center of the village, and he remembered that the coffin was hanging directly above it at the moment.
The sun was just right, cloudless, and the head was empty. At the foot of Natsuki is a stump. On the system map, a yellow exclamation mark is hanging from the stump.
There are tasks!
【Martial Arts Tree: Twin Trees】
Introduction: This is a damaged two-life wood, and it is a dead and a dead and a dead and a dead and a living.
The lack of information is pitiful, even if the identification technique has been upgraded to level six, the specifications of the martial arts tree are still beyond its detection range.
What's even more infuriating is that when Xia Mu clicked on that exclamation mark, there was no reaction!! Got a bug?
"This is the martial arts tree in our village, but the tree began to wither a few years ago, and it completely died a few days ago. Then our village commemorated the tree. Gu Qing explained to Xia Mu.
"Sawed off? What about wood? Guan Xin hurriedly asked.
"Originally, there was a timber merchant who wanted to collect it, but the villagers were reluctant to accept the tree, and finally discussed dividing all the trees."
"You made a coffin out of a tree?" Natsuki asked.
"How do you know, sir? Yes, the villagers felt that this was the best way to commemorate the martial arts tree. ”
Guan Xin looked distressed, "Tyrannical things! You know what a sacred thing the Martial Arts Tree is, and even the trunk is an excellent material for making magic weapons and various equipment. You even took it to make a coffin. ”
Gu Qing was taken aback, "Is it expensive?" But the price offered by the timber dealer was very low, and it was a little more expensive than ordinary timber. ”
"Of course, that's to lower the price and bully you for not knowing how to do it." Guan Xin was looking at those coffins, and he felt that where those coffins were, they were clearly pieces of gold.
Gu Qing is just a country boy, and the people in the village are all hard-working people who are struggling at the bottom, where do they understand this, so what the timber merchant says is what it is, I really think that the wood left by the martial arts tree is not worth anything, if the timber merchant knows that the martial arts tree has become a coffin, it is estimated that the intestines of regret are green.
Will it have something to do with the timber merchants?
Natsuki then asked, "What kind of martial arts tree is in your village?" Can there be a martial arts fruit? ”
"My lord, you are joking, in such a small village as ours, how can the martial arts tree have martial arts fruits, even if the output of internal martial arts fruits is very small, our martial arts tree is a black plum tree."
Ume? But I saw that it was two living trees.
Xia Mu vaguely felt that something was wrong, could it be that the people here had never really understood their martial arts tree?
Soon, everyone came back one after another, bringing back all kinds of information, and sure enough, every household in the village had a coffin to place, according to Gu Qing, although there were coffins in the village before, there were not so many, and he only knew that some black plum tree materials were used in it when it was built.
When he wanted to ask his parents for more news, he was reprimanded by his father instead, and more news was cut off.
The crowd was ostracized by the villagers, so naturally they did not get more valuable information. And the normal in the village is too normal, everyone is doing their own thing, and they don't remember the existence of evil spirits in the village at all. A team of people tried to forcibly pull a villager outside, wanting them to see the coffin with their own eyes, but the strange thing was that the coffin disappeared out of thin air, not only the villagers, but also they didn't see it.
In this way, the night slowly fell, a group of people set up tents in the village, the villagers did not bomb them away, let them go, the villagers really didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that Gu Qing was messing around with a group of people. When you've had enough, you'll go.
The moment the night came, the villagers were asleep, Guan Xin and others gathered together, and they also drooped their heads one by one, in this weird village, no one would sleep without heart and lungs, but at this moment sleepiness hit, it gave people an irresistible feeling.
The white scream in Xia Mu's arms was terrible, and Xia Mu suddenly came to his senses.
Then he also sweated, so hung that he was almost hit.
……
Gu Qing's home.
Gu Qing was awakened by a terrible scream, and then saw his parents standing in front of the coffin.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Why don't you sleep yet? ”
His parents did not respond, and the coffin was opened a slit from the inside.
Immediately after that, it was completely pushed away.
Two people stood up from the coffin.
It's his parents!
