Chapter 53: When the food is cold, it won't taste good

"Youkai?"

Shen Yuan glanced at the big cat lying in the cabin without a trace, and the kitten lying on the bow of the boat trying to catch fish, and his expression became a little weird.

Naturally, the captain didn't notice this detail, and said in a solemn tone:

"That's right, it's a youkai!"

It is said that after driving away the wealthy businessmen who wanted to develop the scenic spot, Yunmeng Village often saw some strange figures that did not look like people in front of their homes in the middle of the night.

Poultry in captivity often disappear mysteriously, and some wet water traces and half-palm-sized scales can be seen in the places where the poultry disappear. ”

I thought it was just a false story, but after hearing the rumor that there were monsters, the smile on Shen Yuan's face narrowed a little.

"Has anyone in Yunmeng Village been injured because of this?"

The captain pondered for a while before he said:

"It's not that I'm injured, it's just that the old village chief of Yunmeng Village fell because he was scared by a monster in the middle of the night, and his spirit became a little abnormal.

The news about the monster also came out of the mouth of the old village chief. ”

Relying on the words of the captain alone, it is difficult for Shen Yuan to make any judgment, many similar rural legends are just a trivial matter, and there are not a few who have become terrifying legends in the future.

This question will definitely not stop Shen Yuan from looking for an opportunity to brush up on hidden achievements.

"I'm quite interested in this Yunmeng Village, and I asked the captain to take me to see it."

The captain wanted to dissuade him, but it can be seen that Shen Yuan's attitude was resolute, so he extinguished his desire to dissuade.

The oars rippled in the lake and headed for the remote mountain on the edge of the lake.

......

Yunmeng Village is located in a remote area, and it took several hours to reach Yunmeng Village, at this moment the sun in the sky has slowly set westward, and there are a few lights lit up.

Shen Yuan thanked his father-in-law and walked in the direction of Yunmeng Village.

According to the captain, Yunmeng Village has had many tourists because of the Longjun Temple, and some villagers have changed their homes into homestays, but they can go to spend the night.

From a distance, the architectural style of the entire Yunmeng Village is extremely simple, and even most of the houses are wooden structures, but there are still modern facilities such as wires and electric lights on the streets, giving people a sense of fusion of ancient and modern.

When I came to the entrance of the village, a huge stone tablet on the side of the road was weathered, and the upper part was engraved with the word Yunmeng.

However, underneath these two words, it seems that there were other fonts, but they have all disappeared with the washing of time, and even Yunmeng has become blurred.

Shen Yuan sighed slightly, and stepped into Yunmeng Village.

But as Shen Yuan's footsteps stepped into the range of Yunmeng Village, Shen Yuan couldn't help but move his expression slightly, and began to realize that something was wrong.

The inside and outside of the village were only one step away, but Shen Yuan could clearly feel that the aura inside the entire Yunmeng Village had risen several times compared to the outside world.

Obviously, there is no enchantment, and there is not the slightest spatial fluctuation, but the gap in this aura is real.

"There's really something wrong with Yunmeng Village!"

Shen Yuan's thoughts fluctuated in his heart, and he became more and more convinced that he had come to the right place, and this Yunmeng Village might really be able to find some information about ten thousand years ago.

And the Maine, which followed Shen Yuan into the village, also looked around curiously, the concentration of spiritual energy here was inferior to that of the Demon Clan's Spirit Vein Yunfu Mountain, but it could also be regarded as a rare spiritual land.

What is especially rare is that this is still a place of human habitation, which is naturally more precious to the human race whose spiritual veins are already scarce.

Bai Xue, who was lying on its back, opened her beautiful heterochromatic eyes, sniffed something lightly with her small nose, and then looked at the east of Yunmeng Village, her eyes full of doubts.

"If the magnates of those human dynasties knew about this place, they would have occupied this place a long time ago."

The Maine couldn't help but whisper.

Regarding the Maine's speculation, Shen Yuan quite agreed.

Fortunately, Yunmeng Village's geographical location is too remote, and there is no outward spiritual vein, so cultivators need to step into the village to perceive the existence of spiritual energy concentration, otherwise it would have attracted the covetousness of all parties.

The divine thoughts spread outward, and Shen Yuan tried to find the source of the spiritual veins of Yunmeng Village according to the concentration of spiritual energy.

However, something that surprised Shen Yuan even more happened, there was no trace of any spiritual veins in the entire Yunmeng Village at all, and these spiritual qi seemed to have been born in this village out of thin air.

Normally, the spiritual veins are attached to the earth, and different spiritual veins will produce different concentrations of spiritual energy according to their scale and the distance of the spiritual vein core.

There will also be differences in the concentration of spiritual energy in different places on the same spiritual vein, which is also the way for practitioners to locate the core of the spiritual vein.

However, this most conventional method lost its effect in Yunmeng Village, because the concentration of spiritual energy was completely consistent, so it was impossible to lock the location of the spiritual veins at all, and it was even impossible to determine whether there were spiritual veins or not.

After stopping and observing for a long time, Shen Yuan took another step and walked towards a homestay in the village.

The B&B is a simple two-story building renovated, called Yunmeng Xiaoju, but it doesn't look like a guest.

Walking into the hall, Shen Yuan only saw a middle-aged man lying on the counter and sleepy, his rather strong body and huge head made him look like a fathead fish.

"Is there still a room?"

Hearing Shen Yuan speak, the originally sleepy-eyed boss immediately put on a smiling face.

"Yes! Of course! ”

The boss took the initiative to get up to greet him, but as soon as he walked out of the counter, he saw the Maine next to Shen Yuan, which frightened the boss in an instant, and re-drilled back behind the counter with a sensitivity that was completely inconsistent with his figure.

After a few seconds, the boss seemed to realize that he had been frightened by a cat, and cautiously poked his head out to look at the Maine, an embarrassed smile on his face.

"This gentleman also takes a cat with him when he travels."

"I just woke up and didn't see it clearly, I thought it was a tiger!"

The boss's words made Shen Yuan show a thoughtful look.

The boss walked out from behind the counter again, and although he didn't care on the surface, he still nervously avoided the Maine and took Shen Yuan to the second floor.

Open the door, although the small B&B is simple but still tidy, from the window sill on the second floor can also see the ancient street outside, the scenery is quite good.

"That's it."

The boss handed the key to Shen Yuan with a smile on his face, turned around and walked out of the door.

Before going downstairs, the boss repeatedly admonished:

"By the way, this gentleman, there have been a lot of strange things in our village lately, try not to go out at night.

As for dinner, I'll arrange it for you later. ”

The sound of the boss's footsteps gradually faded away, and Shen Yuan's eyes swept over the village outside the window, and then went to bed to start today's practice.

This practice lasted nearly two hours.

The sound of footsteps in the hallway sounded again, but there were some strange collision sounds mixed in with the footsteps.

"Sir, your dinner has been delivered to you.

The fishermen came back late today, so it took a little more time to prepare dinner. ”

Shen Yuan withdrew from his cultivation state and opened the door.

I saw that outside the door, a huge fathead fish was holding a dinner plate, and the tail of the fish kept beating the floor behind it.

The big mouth opened and closed, and a little dark green mucus dripped from the big mouth, and the fat friend fish's voice was gloomy and lonely:

"Sir, hurry up and eat, this dish won't taste good if it's cold."
