Chapter 144: Renhuai
Afternoon.
The three of them had lunch at the food stall in the village, and when the sun was at its strongest, they set off to walk to the cemetery outside the village.
While waiting to cook, Chenyang got two pieces of news, one of which was told by Chang Qi Qiu Yao, that Qian Ke's body had disappeared, and that the villagers had forgotten about his existence.
Chenyang only remembered at this time that Zhang Xueying's corpse seemed to have disappeared as well.
Another piece of news is that after inquiring with the cook, I learned that the cemetery that Chang Qi was going to was a new grave, in another part of the village, some distance from the village.
The location of the new grave happened to be in the opposite direction to Zhang Xueying's old cemetery.
If you want to complete Chang Qi's side quest, then Chenyang wants to go back to Zhang Xueying's cemetery, at least until late at night.
Chenyang still remembered Zhang Li's admonition to go back to the room as soon as possible after dinner.
This supernatural plane is very evil, and there are too many strange things in it, and most of these things are not something that Chenyang can deal with.
In this case, Chenyang could only temporarily give up the clues of that branch line and return to the village as soon as possible after completing Chang Qi's task.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, Chenyang was alone in the front, carefully looking for the big locust tree that the stall owner said.
If you find the locust tree, you can find the new grave.
According to the stall owner's description, the locust tree seemed to grow strangely, and according to him, it could be recognized by just one sight.
Chenyang walked in the direction of the new grave for half a day, and did not find any similar trees, the leaves of the trees on the mountain had fallen off, leaving a bare patch.
In this case, in the eyes of any person, it is difficult to see the difference between a locust tree.
Behind him, Chang Qi gasped slightly in his mouth, and fine sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he couldn't hold on for an hour before he walked for an hour.
Chang Qi glanced at Chenyang at the front, and asked out loud: "Chenyang, haven't you arrived at the new cemetery yet, why don't we rest for a while."
Chenyang turned his head and glanced at Chang Qi, looked at him with an exhausted look, and nodded.
Chang Qi glanced around, and soon sat down on a thick tree root, his legs stretched out, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Chenyang was not very tired now, quietly leaning against the trunk of the tree on the side, his eyes closed.
The plant's perception then opened, and in this large wood, he could see things clearly within a hundred meters.
However, this area of mountains and forests is quite desolate, except for the existence of the three people of Chenyang, not even a single bird has stopped.
Only the faint sound of the wind could be heard, and the atmosphere was quiet and a little scary.
Chenyang determined the surrounding situation, slowly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at Qiu Yao on the side.
"Huh?" Qiu Yao looked at Chenyang with doubts in his tone.
Chenyang said loudly: "I'll go to the front first, you stay here to rest, and I'll be back soon."
Qiu Yao nodded, "Go ahead." ”
Chang Qi rolled his eyes and shouted loudly towards Chenyang: "Be careful, pay attention to safety!"
Chenyang waved his hand at the two, his feet were a little faster, and he quickly ran out of the sight of the two.
Chang Qi saw Chenyang leaving, his eyes fell on Qiu Yao, who was resting not far away, and said loudly: "Qiu Yao, you said that we will be in danger when we come outside the village this time."
"Yes." Qiu Yao turned his head and answered softly.
Chang Qi glanced at him, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Why are you so sincere in your words, will you die if you say nothing?"
Qiu Yao glanced at Chang Qi lightly, and said loudly: "The side quest that Chenyang did is in the village, and the danger level has greatly exceeded expectations, do you think your mission in the cemetery may be safe?"
"Ugh." Chang Qi sighed, "Brother, how did you find a girlfriend in the first place?" ”
"My girlfriend chased me." Qiu Yao said loudly, his tone was very flat, but it gave Chang Qi a feeling of showing off.
Chang Qi glanced at Qiu Yao carefully, although the guy in front of him was an ice cube face, but his appearance was really good, and with his cold personality, he would indeed be welcomed by some women.
Of course, the main thing is to look at his face.
"Sure enough, it's still the era of looking at faces." Chang Qi said helplessly, recalling the girls he had chased, but didn't catch up, and his heart was a lot sadder out of thin air.
However, the fear of the cemetery was much diluted in the conversation.
After a while, Chenyang walked back slowly and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, I have found the locust tree, and the cemetery is not far ahead."
Chang Qi stood up, followed behind Chenyang and asked, "How far is it from here?"
"It's less than half an hour."
After Chang Qi heard it, he said as if resigned to his fate: "It's still so far!"
"Don't complain, this is your side quest, if you continue to procrastinate, we'll let you do it yourself." Chenyang said softly, with some jokes in his tone.
When Chang Qi heard this, he didn't dare to take it as a joke, he trotted under his feet, and quickly caught up with Chenyang, and said loudly: "Don't, let's speed up, it will take half an hour to reach the cemetery?" No, I'll be there in ten minutes! ”
Chenyang watched him play there alone, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.
Turning his head to look at Qiu Yao behind him, he had been following the two of them, but he rarely spoke along the way, and always maintained that ice cube face.
"Qiu Yao, if you encounter any problems in a while, take care of Chang Qi a little more." Chenyang reminded loudly.
He still didn't know Chang Qi's strength, so he could only treat him as a relatively weak plane first, and tell Qiu Yao to avoid any accidents at that time.
"Don't worry, he's not weak." Qiu Yao nodded and opened his mouth to say.
"Hmm."
The three of them walked for about twenty minutes, and finally saw the locust tree mentioned by the stall owner in a relatively empty forest.
After several people in Chenyang saw it, they had to agree with the stall owner's description, this locust tree is really easy to recognize, no matter where it is placed, you can notice it at a glance.
There is no way, this locust tree is too conspicuous.
It looks like it has been carved with a handmade knife, and the whole is a distorted human form, especially the head at the top of the trunk, the eyes are bulging, the mouth is wide open, and the teeth in the mouth can be seen clearly.
Where is this tree, it is clearly a wood carving carved by a person.
Chenyang and the others approached the locust tree, and the expressions on their faces were a little cautious.
If it were in other planes, Chenyang might still regard it as a work of art or something, but in this supernatural world, it is inevitable to worry about the danger of this tree.
Chenyang held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and until he walked past the locust tree, he did not perceive any dangerous aura.
It wasn't until the three of them crossed ten meters of the locust tree that the caution in their eyes slowly dissipated, and they were a little lucky in their hearts, glad that this locust tree was just an ordinary locust tree.
"Whew, there should be a cemetery in front of me." Chang Qi exhaled lightly and said with some excitement in his tone.
Chenyang's eyes closed, trying to perceive through the plants and see the various situations ahead.
In plant perception, about 100 meters in front, a thin layer of gray fog appears, blocking the detection of plant perception.
Chenyang opened his eyes and said loudly: "About a hundred meters ahead, there are some problems, it should be a cemetery, everyone be careful."
"Hmm." The two of them answered at the same time.
The three of them slowly approached the cemetery, and gradually saw the cemetery in the obstruction of large trees.
In a forest, a few clearings were set aside, and in the middle of the clearings were high and bulging earth bags, and there were all kinds of tombstones, both stone and wood.
Chenyang and the others walked to the cemetery, and a little chill was inexplicably born in their hearts, as if they sensed some dangers in this cemetery.
Chenyang glanced at Chang Qi, who looked panicked, sighed in his heart, and asked out loud, "Which tomb are you going to find in your side quest?"
When Chang Qi heard this, his expression became fixed, his eyes turned to the void, and he was checking the side quest: "Zhang Huaiyi's tomb, take away a necklace made of wood."
Qiu Yao's gaze swept over the surrounding tombstones, and finally locked on one of the wooden tablets, on which the words Zhang Huaiyi were marked with stones, and some charcoal was blackened, which looked very sloppy.
"Here." Qiu Yao shouted loudly, and he took the lead in walking over.
Chenyang and the two followed him, came to the tomb, looked at the wooden tablet without any items, and said loudly: "It seems that the grave is going to be dug today."
"No, it won't." Chang Qi was a little shocked.
Suddenly, there was a low, strange sound from inside the tomb, as if something was striking the coffin.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
