Chapter 64: The Disappearance of Zeng Laosan
This is the first time Chu Yifan has drunk so much wine in his life, his throat rolled, and he swallowed the wine in a big gulp, and after a while, a wave of dizziness came from his mind, and he spat lightly: "Uncle Gui, you are my own uncle, tell you a secret, in fact, I am a monk, the place where I live is called the Heavenly Empire, no, the place where I live is Beili Palace, where I also have a master, I am already a person whose soul has returned to Huangquan, and he saved my life!"
Zeng Gui has lived in the fields for a long time, and he has never left Qingyang Town since he was a child, he naturally doesn't know what a monk is, hearing Chu Yifan's words, his expression suddenly became serious, and he slowly spoke: "Yifan nephew, although Uncle Gui doesn't know how the outside world is, whether it is good or bad, but I can tell you with great certainty that our Qingyang Town can be described as a holy place in the world, where the mountains and rivers are good, and the good people are better, listen to Uncle Gui's words, stay!" You are also a big man, there are a few women in the town who are waiting to be married, and the birth is very good, you choose one, your uncle will help you propose, and when you settle down here, you will take your master over to live together, by the way, and your parents!"
Hearing the word parents, Chu Yifan smiled indifferently, did not speak, and raised the wine jar and drank it in a big gulp. As the crowd gradually dispersed, with the gradual extinguishing of the fire, the night slowly shrouded, there was no moon tonight, only a few flickering stars, at this moment, Zeng Gui was already drunk and unconscious, lying on the lawn and sleeping deeply, snoring constantly. Chu Yifan squinted his eyes and looked at the night sky, there were words in his mouth, and he couldn't listen to what was being said, just as he was about to fall asleep, several figures slowly came from a distance.
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Yifan opened his eyes from his sleep, and suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness coming, he rubbed his head, his eyes swept around, and found that he was lying in a not very big room at the moment, he got up and got out of bed, pushed the door out, and Zeng Hu was walking quickly. Last night, after Chu Yifan and Zeng Gui got drunk, Zeng Hu's mother Wen Fang found someone to take them back to their home and did not let them sleep on the lawn. Seeing Chu Yifan, Zeng Hu left and said, "Brother Chu, you are awake, my mother made sobering porridge, you go and drink a little!"
Chu Yifan coughed a few times, followed Zeng Hu away, and soon, the two came to the stove room, only to see Zeng Hu's mother was serving porridge in the bowl, seeing the two of them coming, Zeng Hu's mother immediately spoke: "Yifan nephew, I was not drunk last night, hurry up and drink a bowl of porridge to wake up! Huzi, go and wake up your drunkard father, what time is it still sleeping!"
Before Zeng Hu ran out of the stove room, Zeng Gui's voice came from outside: "Come on, I was happy last night, I didn't control the amount, drink more!"
Zeng Gui stepped over the threshold of the stove room, walked in, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank a few sips, then looked at Chu Yifan, and said, "Nephew Yifan, what are you thinking about?"
Chu Yifan was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Uncle Gui, what are you referring to?"
"That's what I told you last night, which family did you fall in love with, and I will help you propose marriage with your aunt!"
Before Chu Yifan could speak, Zeng Hu's mother continued: "Nephew Yifan, what your uncle said is right, I think the youngest daughter of the old Huang family is good!"
Seeing that the husband and wife were so concerned about their own affairs, Chu Yifan hurriedly said: "Uncle and aunt, you don't have to worry about this matter, in fact... Actually, I already have someone in my heart!"
Chu Yifan roughly told Feng Jiuge about it, and the couple didn't say anything more when they heard the words, after eating the porridge, Chu Yifan wanted to help Zeng Gui do some farm work, but the harvest was over, and there was nothing to do except herding cattle and feeding poultry, so Chu Yifan returned to the ancient temple and spit out on his knees.
Half a month passed in a flash, and when night fell, Chu Yifan sat on the straw outside the ancient temple and meditated, and suddenly Zeng Hu's voice came from a distance: "Oh no, Brother Chu, my father is gone!"
Hearing this, Chu Yifan immediately opened his eyes and looked at Zeng Hu who came in a hurry, he stood up, walked out in one step, and soon came to Zeng Hu, and asked, "Huzi, what's wrong with your uncle?"
Zeng Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said breathlessly: "My father went out to herd cattle yesterday morning, and he has not returned, several uncles and uncles have gone to look for him, and they have not found him, even our buffalo is gone, this kind of thing has never happened before!"
Chu Yifan groaned slightly, he knew that sunrise and sunset were the living habits of everyone in Qingyang Town, if it wasn't for some trouble, there would definitely be no situation like Zeng Gui. Chu Yifan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his spiritual sense had already dispersed, he looked at the anxious Zeng Hu, and slowly spoke: "Huzi, don't worry, you first tell me where Uncle Gui went to herd cattle yesterday!"
Zeng Hu pointed to the distance and said, "For this period of time, my father has been herding cattle there!"
Chu Yifan's eyes flashed, looking in the direction Zeng Hu pointed, there was the west of Qingyang Town, a rice field was located at the foot of the continuous mountain, pondering for a while, Chu Yifan said: "Huzi, you go back first and wait for my news, I think that Uncle Gui must have entered the big mountain, I will go to find him!"
Zeng Hu knew that he couldn't help much, so he obediently returned home, and when Zeng Hu walked away, Chu Yifan started his cultivation and turned into Changhong and went straight to the rice field. After a short time, Chu Yifan came to the junction of the rice field and the mountain, he swept his spiritual sense, and found a series of cow footprints on a small road not far away, which were very shallow and difficult for ordinary people to detect. Chu Yifan's body flashed, came to the path, and walked quickly towards the mountain following the footprints of the cow.
Soon, the night shrouded the entire earth, Chu Yifan walked on a narrow road, both sides of the path were towering ancient trees, bursts of insects and beasts roared endlessly, and a cold atmosphere arose. Looking at the series of cow footprints on the ground, Chu Yifan muttered in his heart: "Cows feed on grass, this place is full of trees, without grass, it is impossible for cattle to run to this kind of place by themselves, unless..."
Chu Yifan already had a guess in his heart, he stared at him and continued to move forward. About a stick of incense passed, Chu Yifan's footsteps suddenly paused, looking ahead, what appeared in front of him at this moment was a cliff, a path like a silver snake divided this cliff into two, the night wind passed, setting off a whistling sound, along with this night wind came a scalp-ting, creepy cold breath, Chu Yifan had an intuition, the answer is at the end of this path, that is, the other side of the cliff.
Chu Yifan walked forward during the steps, and soon, he came to the middle of the cliff path, at this time, a burst of women's whimpering sound spread from the cliff, this voice was weird, like crying not crying, like laughing not laughing, Chu Yifan heard the sound of his chest rising and falling, his heart beat faster, his throat rolled, a mouthful of saliva under his eyes, slowly looked up to look, this look, he was shocked, only to see that the cliff was covered with red dresses, this dress moved with the wind, although it looked empty, but the creepy woman's whimper sound came from this dress。
Although Chu Yifan is a monk, he is still apprehensive in the face of such a strange scene, he did not hesitate, his hands pinched again and again, and counted the points towards those red dresses, with the unfolding of a finger, those red dresses actually bulged, and a head slowly stretched out from its collar, this head was very weird, the cloak was scattered, his face was pale, and there was blood overflowing from the two eyes without pupils.
Chu Yifan's spells didn't seem to have any effect on these ghostly existences, under the suppression of this burst of cold qi, Chu Yifan didn't want to stay for a moment, just when he was about to run away, a cold snort suddenly came out of Chu Yifan's body, and then, a figure floated out, this figure floated in the air, handsome, hair flying, hands on the back, looking like a fairy wind bones. After the figure swept the red circle on the cliff, he finally looked at Chu Yifan and said lightly: "A group of lonely souls and wild ghosts also scared you like this, it's really useless!"
This figure is the bone book, Chu Yifan snorted lightly, scolded in his heart, the bone book coughed dryly, and continued: "The deity is here, you little guys dare to make a mistake, my master is cowardly and afraid of ghosts, you still don't let me get out!"
As the words of the bone book came out, the heads that stretched out slowly retracted, and the whimpering sound stopped sounding, and soon, even those red dresses disappeared. At this moment, the bone book turned into a bird, flapped its wings, landed on Chu Yifan's shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, with Uncle Ben here, all cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, demons and monsters must avoid three points, but you are too disappointed to me, and a few little ghosts also scare you like this!"
Hearing this, Chu Yifan was about to refute, but before he could speak, he heard a voice from in front of him: "Yifan nephew, Yifan nephew, is it you, come and save me!"
Chu Yifan's eyes flashed, this was clearly Zeng Gui's voice, he didn't hesitate, his cultivation unfolded, and flew out directly towards the place where the voice came. In a short time he crossed the cliff and came to an open place, where there was a dead silence, and as far as the eye could see, all the flowers and trees were dead and lifeless. The little bird transformed into the bone book flapped its wings, and after a little silence, it spoke: "It's strange here, no, how can I smell a smell of decay, you see that these trees don't seem to have died naturally, but seem to have been sucked away by something!"
The bone book turned back into a figure, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground with his right hand and put it to his nose and sniffed it, and after a few breaths, I saw his face change and look into the distance. Seeing this, Chu Yifan asked, "What did you find?"
Gu Shu was silent for a while, and slowly spoke: "I can feel that there is a terrifying existence underneath this, with your current cultivation, you are not its opponent at all, so let's leave quickly!"
In fact, from the moment Chu Yifan came here, he felt a trace of crisis, there was a force that he couldn't resist was slowly spreading, but after all, he had lived in Qingyang Town for a year, Zeng Gui's family was not bad to him, he was not an ungrateful person, Zeng Gui was in trouble at this moment, how could he sit idly by. With a decision, Chu Yifan opened his mouth and said, "No, Uncle Gui hasn't found it yet, so you can't leave like this!"
Hearing this, Gu Shu sighed lightly, and at this moment, Zeng Gui's voice came again: "Yifan nephew, Yifan nephew, is it you? Come and save me!"
