Chapter 65: Ecstasy Grass

Chu Yifan's eyes flashed, and when he heard the sound, he vaguely saw a figure flickering not far ahead, without hesitation, he took a step forward and went straight ahead. Soon, Chu Yifan came to the place where he had seen the figure just now, and in his vigilance, he swept his eyes around and found nothing. At this moment, a lightning bolt fell from the sky, and the thunder was endless, and then the sky was pouring rain, Chu Yifan groaned slightly, and muttered softly: "It's the autumn harvest season now, how can this kind of vision appear?"

Gu Shu smiled faintly and said, "Are you asking me or am you asking the sky?"

Lightning pierced the sky, the sound of explosion and thunder was in the ears, the rain rustled continuously, this dead and silent land was even more weird, Chu Yifan wiped the rain on his face, and there was a faint trace of uneasiness in his heart, he knew that Niu would not take the initiative to come to this kind of place, Zeng Gui would naturally not take the initiative to come to this kind of place, in the past year in Qingyang Town, he had never heard of such a strange place. Just when Chu Yifan was thinking a little here, suddenly, his eyes froze, and he turned around suddenly, only to see a person coming slowly from the rain, and this person was also leading a buffalo.

Seeing this, Chu Yifan immediately spoke: "Uncle Gui..."

In the middle of his steps, Chu Yifan was about to walk towards the man, and the bone book immediately turned into a figure in front of him, and said: "This matter is weird, don't go over, he exudes a very strong death breath!"

Hearing this, Chu Yifan paused, looked at the person who came slowly, and frowned slightly. After a while, the man leading the buffalo approached, and Chu Yifan spoke again: "Uncle?"

The man didn't speak, and after a few breaths, the man slowly raised his head, and at this moment, Chu Yifan saw clearly the appearance of the person who came, it was Zeng Gui, but his face was pale, his eyes were blank, like a dead corpse. Chu Yifan took a step forward, and when he was about to speak again, a strange scene happened, only to see Zeng Gui grinning, this smile was extremely eerie, making the scalp tingle, and then, his body became emaciated, that is, in a breath or two, it turned into a dry corpse, not only him, but even the buffalo.

Chu Yifan gasped, and when he started his cultivation, the green light protection appeared, and he immediately stepped forward to support Zeng Gui's body, at this moment, Zeng Gui's eyes suddenly opened, and his dry mouth bit directly towards Chu Yifan, fortunately, Chu Yifan had prepared in advance, and Zeng Gui bit on the blue light protection. Chu Yifan pushed Zeng Gui's body away, this scene came too suddenly, Chu Yifan's chest rose and fell, his breathing was short, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "What's going on?"

As soon as the words fell, a voice that seemed to have come from ancient times came from underground: "It's so fragrant, the smell of the monk, the old man hasn't smelled such a fragrant smell for hundreds of years!"

As the words came out, the earth suddenly stirred, and the sound of breaking the ground suddenly spread, and a pair of dry human hands stretched out from the ground and grabbed Chu Yifan directly. Seeing this, the bone book screamed again and again, turning into a wisp of smoke and burrowing into Chu Yifan's eyebrows, seeing those strange hands approaching, Chu Yifan roared, and stepped on the ground with his right foot, and before his body flew out, a withered hand grabbed his ankle, and then, another, two, three...

Life and death are at stake, and there is no room for much thought, Chu Yifan slapped his clothes, two wooden swords of three feet and three inches flew out, his spiritual sense swept away, integrated into the wooden sword, and the two wooden swords went straight to the withered hand that grabbed the ankle, and in an instant, I saw a flash of sword light, and all the withered hands that grabbed Chu Yifan's ankle were cut off, and at the moment when the other withered hands were about to be caught, Chu Yifan turned into a long rainbow and went into the distance, and the two wooden swords were tightly surrounded by him. As Chu Yifan left, a roar that was better than the explosion thunder came from the ground: "The food that I fancy you, you can't run away, you can't run away!"

Leaving this dead and silent place, thinking of Zeng Gui's death, a burst of sadness arose in Chu Yifan's heart, and he didn't know how to tell Zeng Hu about it after he went back. Back in Qingyang Town, Chu Yifan did not go directly to Zeng's house, but came to the ancient temple alone, and after a night without words, Chu Yifan finally made a decision, he wanted to tell Zeng Gui's father about this matter, otherwise, I am afraid that more people will stray into that place and die.

Early the next morning, Chu Yifan came to the old mansion of the Zeng family, and at this moment, the door of the old mansion of the Zeng family was open, and Chu Yifan walked in as he walked. As soon as he walked in, he was greeted by a person, this person was thin and thin, about fifty years old, he glanced at Chu Yifan, and immediately spoke: "It turned out to be Yifan's nephew, who came to visit the old mayor so early?"

This person is Zeng Hu's second uncle, the famous Zeng Fu, Chu Yifan hugged his fists slightly, and said: "I've seen the second uncle, I don't know if the old mayor is at home?"

Zeng Fu smiled faintly and said, "The old mayor is in the lobby, you can go!"

After that, this Zeng Fu walked out with a gloomy face, Chu Yifan took a deep breath and walked directly towards the lobby. After a short time, Chu Yifan came to a pavilion, and looked closely, four quaint doors opened inward, and an old man with gray hair was sitting on a big chair inside, holding a cigarette stick made of small bamboo in his hand, and was smoking grass cigarettes. Chu Yifan walked into the lobby, hugged his fists slightly, and said, "Old mayor, I went to the mountains last night to look for Uncle Gui and found a strange place, Uncle Gui..."

Before Chu Yifan finished speaking, he only heard a "crunch", the side door of the lobby was slowly opened, and a figure that Chu Yifan couldn't have imagined walked out of the door, this person looked at Chu Yifan, and said with a smile: "Yifan nephew, I heard Huzi say that you went to look for me last night, it's really hard for you, I'm fine, do you think it's not good to come back!"

This figure is none other than Zeng Hu's father Zeng Gui, the moment he saw Zeng Gui, a trace of surprise flashed on Chu Yifan's face, but soon he returned to normal, and secretly said in his heart: "This is impossible, in that dead and silent place, I saw Uncle Gui killed with my own eyes, how could he stand here intact, this is too incredible, there must be something wrong with this person in front of him!"

Just as Chu Yifan was pondering here, Zeng Gui's voice spread again: "Nephew Yifan, what are you thinking?"

Chu Yifan blinked, looked at Zeng Gui, and said, "It's nothing, Uncle Gui, it's good for you to come back." By the way, uncle, where have you been these two days?"

Zeng Gui smiled faintly, sighed lightly, and said: "This matter is ashamed, that day I went to herd the cattle, accidentally lay on the straw pile and fell asleep, and when I woke up, the cow was gone, I looked around, and unconsciously found it into the mountain, and then stepped on a ecstasy grass in the mountain, trapped by it, the cow was not found, and it was still circling in the mountain!"

"Ecstasy grass?" Chu Yifan's eyes flashed with doubt, but he had other thoughts in his heart.

This time, before Zeng Gui could speak, the old mayor sitting on the big chair shook off the cigarette ash, coughed lightly, and said: "Yifan, you have only been here in our Qingyang Town for a year, and there are some things you may not know, the reason why our Qingyang Town is isolated from the world, few outsiders come here, thanks to this Ecstasy Grass!" There is a strange grass growing in the mountains of Qingyang Town, east, west, north and south, as long as someone touches or steps on this grass, they will lose their minds, lose their direction, and spin in the mountains, if there is no help from others, shout the name of the bewildered person, then this person will keep circling in the mountains, until finally to death, our ancestors gave this grass a name, called Ecstasy Grass!"

Chu Yifan nodded slightly, subconsciously glanced at Zeng Gui, and slowly spoke: "So that's the case, but Uncle Gui, who found you in the end?"

After a little silence, Zeng Gui replied: "It's Li San, the hunter in the town, he just went into the mountains to hunt, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I'm still going around in the mountains now!"

Chu Yifan had a smile on his face, but he was secretly thinking about going to this Li San to ask what was going on, an hour later, Chu Yifan left from the old mansion of the Zeng family, and not long after Chu Yifan walked out of the lobby, the old mayor's face immediately became gloomy, he snorted coldly, looked at Zeng Gui, and said angrily: "You are too careless, although this outsider is not very old, but his scheming is quite deep, I don't know if he has discovered the secret of Xishan!"

Hearing this, Zeng Gui groaned slightly, and said: "Father, don't worry, he is just an ordinary person, if he finds that place, he will not be standing here at this moment!"

The old mayor nodded, put the cigarette stick on the table next to him, slowly stood up, and walked towards the outside of the lobby with his hands behind his back. After leaving the Zeng family's old house, Chu Yifan did not go directly to Li San, but returned to the ancient temple to meditate and practice, in this year in Qingyang Town, Chu Yifan hid very well and did not reveal his identity as a monk, which is also the main reason why he chose to live alone in the ancient temple.

Seven days passed in a flash, and everything was as usual in Qingyang Town, but in these seven days, Zeng Hu did not come to the ancient temple to deliver food to Chu Yifan. On this day, the sun raised its head, the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the earth, Chu Yifan opened his eyes from meditation, he never believed that the person who appeared in the ancestral house of the Zeng family was Zeng Gui, he sat on a pile of straw, slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, after a short time, he withdrew his gaze, a trace of persistence flashed in his eyes, and he decided to go to Li San today to ask about the specific situation at that time. In fact, there is a reason why Chu Yifan chose today, he had been to Li's house a few days ago, but it happened that Li San and a few companions went into the mountains to hunt at that time, under normal circumstances, once the hunters in Qingyang Town enter the mountains, it will take several days to return, and I learned from Li San's wife that this Li San will return today, so Chu Yifan chose to find Li San at this moment.

The Li family is some distance from the ancient temple, about an hour has passed, Chu Yifan appeared outside a stilted building, his eyes were like electricity, he swept the stilted building, and then took a few steps forward, and said loudly: "Is Brother Li at home?"

After waiting for a while, I saw a woman walking out slowly, she first looked at Chu Yifan, and said, "Li San hasn't come back yet, why don't you go into the house and wait?"

This woman Chu Yifan is no stranger, it is Li San's wife Wang, after a little groaning, Chu Yifan clenched his fists slightly, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Under the leadership of this Wang family, Chu Yifan came to the lobby, this Li San is worthy of being a hunter, and his home is full of all kinds of animal skins, especially in this hall, in addition to those animal skins, there are a few tusks of unknown animals. Chu Yifan sat on the guest chair and waited quietly, after Wang made him a pot of tea, he went to work on his own affairs, time passed slowly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, but Li San still didn't return. Chu Yifan faintly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, he called the Wang family and told her that if this Li San came back, let him come to the ancient temple to find him, saying that he had something important to inquire about, and then he left in a hurry!
