Ghost?

What a real ghost?

Gu Chen was completely confused by Yao Tongtian's words, if it was for ordinary people, believing in ghosts and gods was a normal fear, but for cultivators, the ghosts in ordinary people's mouths were just ghosts in their eyes.

Cultivators don't believe in ghosts and gods, and they are not afraid of ghosts and gods, but how can Yao Tongtian, a powerful pill pharmacist, believe in ghosts?

No, there must be something hidden in this.

Staring closely at Yao Tongtian's eyes, Gu Chen said slowly, "Yao senior, forgive me for being stupid, I can't understand what you said, I can't hide it, the third ghost died in my hands, and besides, although I have not cultivated the ghost path, I also have some research on the ghost path, the ghost in your mouth does not belong to the yin soul, nor does it belong to the walking corpse, is it another means of ghost cultivation?"

Yao Tongtian's head shook like a rattle;"No, I know it's hard to understand, but the ghost I'm talking about has nothing to do with ghost cultivation." ”

As soon as Yao Tongtian's words came out, Gu Chen was even more puzzled, and he had nothing to do with ghost cultivation?

Yao Tongtian pondered for a while before he said, "I know it's hard to believe, but I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with ghost cultivation, I know all about the ghosts and walking corpses you said, but it's definitely not these things." ”

Seeing that Yao Tongtian said so surely, Gu Chen couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was the ghost in his mouth, could it be just some ghost cultivation methods that he had never heard of?

After all, ghost cultivation is also a big vein, and Gu Chen, as a person who has translated the "Secret Book of the Ghost Emperor", only dares to say that he has spied on the tip of the iceberg of the ghost cultivation lineage, and what he has seen and heard is definitely not as good as him.

Gu Chen pondered for a while and said, "Senior Yao, since what you said is so mysterious, then I can only follow you to Yaowangzhuang to have a look, otherwise, I really can't understand it." ”

"This ...... Is it just you?"

"Don't worry, medicine senior, I'm just going to see what the real situation is, if it's really as tricky as you said, I will naturally report it, and then someone more powerful will deal with it, but before the real situation is understood, it's really a big fuss. ”

Yao Tongtian nodded contemplatively, "Indeed, well, we might as well return as soon as possible now, so that you can make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, Yao Tongtian directly sacrificed a medicine furnace.

Gu Chen was not polite, and jumped directly onto the medicine stove, and then the two of them cut through the night and went directly to the Medicine King Village.

Yao Tongtian is just a pill pharmacist, although his strength is not bad, but the speed of his flight can only be regarded as average, and even far inferior to the speed of Gu Chen's incarnation into a demon, and the speed of running cannot be compared with the speed at which he casts the phoenix feather to fly.

However, none of his methods can be shown in front of outsiders, so he can only sit on the medicine stove and hurry slowly.

Yaowangzhuang is quite a distance away from Zhige City, and the two of them started to hurry from late at night, but they didn't arrive until the red sun rose in the east, and even when the sun was setting in the west, Gu Chen didn't see a city.

Yao Tongtian stretched out his hand and said, "That's Yaowangzhuang." ”

Gu Chen thought that Yaowangzhuang was a big manor, but he didn't expect it to be a city, and around this city, there are pieces of medicine fields, and under the blowing of the breeze, they rise and fall like waves, which looks very spectacular.

Yao Tongtian did not enter the city, but stopped above a medicine field five miles outside the city.

With his feet on the ground, Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "I thought that the medicine field only emitted the fragrance of medicine, but I didn't expect that the fragrance of flowers was no less than any precious flowers. ”

Yao Tongtian shook his head with a wry smile, "That's what worries people. ”

Gu Chen was puzzled.

Yao Tongtian explained, "This is Fu Bamboo Grass, although Fu Bamboo Grass blooms, but it is short-lived, the time is very short, after flowering, it will begin to bear fruit, and Fu Bamboo Fruit can be truly used as a medicinal material, but now, Fu Bamboo Grass has been flowering for three consecutive months, and there is still no sign of withering." ”

Gu Chen pondered for a moment, "How long does it take for the flowers of the bamboo grass to begin to wither?"

"It was short-lived. Yao Tongtian said with a sad face, "Fu Zhucao blooms, normally, it will definitely not take more than three hours." ”

Three hours?

Gu Chen couldn't help but glare, three hours and three months, the difference is indeed a bit much.

"What about these bamboo grasses?"

"It's all gone, Fu Zhucao has already passed the time of fruiting, and it is about to start to wither, and it is irretrievable. ”

"Is there a problem with the seedlings?"

"No, it's a change in circumstances. ”

"A change in the environment?"

"Yes, Fu Zhucao is a positive herb, not afraid of the heat, even if it is a mild environment will grow normally, the reason why the March flowers are undefeated is because this area has become a cold place, so that there will only bloom, no fruit. ”

In this case, it is possible that the planting is not in the right place. ”

"The place is right. "Medicine leads to heaven," This was indeed a warm place, but it has been changed into a cold place. ”

Gu Chen seemed to have no waves, but in secret, he slowly ran the fire phoenix style, and under the fire phoenix style, he really found that he seemed to be in an ice cellar, but he couldn't feel it under normal circumstances.

"The change of environment is related to the appearance of the 'ghost' you said?"

"Yes. Yao Tongtian turned around at this time, "Actually, not only Fu Zhucao, but also our Yaowangzhuang, and many positive medicinal materials, all of them have suffered devastating blows, if it is just these losses, it is nothing, but the people who live in this land have also begun to have accidents." ”

Gu Chen glanced at Yaowangzhuang not far away and said, "Take me into the city to have a look." ”

Yao Tongtian nodded, and then walked into Yaowangzhuang with Gu Chen.

"Meet the owner!"

"I've seen the owner. ”

Gu Chen followed behind Yao Tongtian, only to find that he was not such a difficult person to get along with, the pedestrians and guards on the street greeted him casually, and he was also a very kind response, without any arrogance at all.

Walking around the Medicine King Village, Gu Chen couldn't help but wrinkle his forehead and said, "Medicine senior, I look at the people in Medicine King Village, all of them are restrained and vigorous, don't you see anything wrong?"

Yao Tongtian shook his head with a wry smile, "Have you ever seen a child?"

Child?

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered, as if he really didn't see the child.

Yao Tongtian continued, "The people you see are all people who were born and raised in Yaowangzhuang, and the pills and decoctions for strengthening the body, I don't know how much I have eaten, so I naturally can't see any discomfort for a while, but some people who have just moved to Yaowangzhuang are different, and there are young children. ”

As he spoke, Yao Tongtian took Gu Chen to a manor filled with medicinal fragrance, "This is my residence, come and see, I really didn't lie to you." ”

As Yao Tongtian opened the gate of the manor, Gu Chen saw that the huge manor seemed to have become a ward full of patients, and in the huge manor, there were a pair of bed frames, all of which were pale and weak faces.

Gu Chen hurriedly walked to a bed, on which was a child lying on it, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was weak.

Gu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the child's wrist, his wrist was cold, and he checked his vitality, but he didn't find anything abnormal, just a little weak.

Gu Chen looked at Yao Tongtian, then shook his head.

Yao Tongtian sighed and said, "It is the imbalance of yin and yang, people are creatures of heaven and earth, and the coexistence of yin and yang is emphasized in the body, once the yin and yang are out of balance, there will be various diseases, if they are cultivators, they naturally know how to control the yin and yang in the body, but they are just ordinary children." ”

Gu Chen thought of Bai Su, Bai Su also belongs to the imbalance of yin and yang, when he did not cultivate the Ghost Emperor's secret codex, he could only endure the pain caused by the full moon every month, but it was different to become a cultivator, turning disadvantages into advantages.

Gu Chen said, "As the owner of the Medicine King Village, can't you solve this situation?"

"Solve it?, rely on pills alone?" Yao Tongtian smiled bitterly, "If it's one or two, naturally there is no problem, but if you want to solve them all, do you know how many resources you need to consume?"

Gu Chen shook his head.

Yao Tongtian pointed to this huge Yaowangzhuang and said, "It is not enough to consume the entire Yaowangzhuang, and it is only a symptom but not a cure, I can't hide it, I have prepared for the worst in my heart, if this matter cannot be solved, then these children can only be relocated out of Yaowangzhuang, and after they go to other places, their bodies may be able to recover slowly, but in this way, the future of Yaowangzhuang will be broken." ”

Gu Chen didn't expect the matter to be so serious, not to mention that the future of Yaowangzhuang was broken, if it really came to this point, then Yaowangzhuang would exist in name only, because without children, there would be no inheritance, and Yaowangzhuang would eventually disappear.

Gu Chen looked around at these pale and immature faces, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, "I already know the seriousness of the matter, and it seems that it really can't be ignored, but you should also tell me what happened." ”

Yao Tongtian made a gesture of please, "I'll tell you slowly." ”

Gu Chen waved his hand, "No, since you said that there are ghosts, then there must be a source, take me directly to that place, and we will talk while walking." ”

"It's okay, it's a long way to go, but I'm just going to tell you about the strange things that happened." ”

"It was three months ago, when I was refining the pill, when I came out, someone reported to me, saying that there were three people in the village who went to Beishan to collect medicine, and they were inexplicably killed, when I heard the news, I was very angry, I don't hide it from you, Yaowangzhuang under my leadership, there has been no murder for ten years, but when I arrived, I found out that it was I who thought simply, these three people were not ordinary people ......who were killed at all. ”
