Chapter 12: The Source

There is nothing to hide about this, and I think the old woman noticed this out of nowhere, so she came to Cui Xiu to see it.

Otherwise, there is no need for an old woman, with the help of Xiaocao'er, Cui Xiu can also get out of here.

"I've practiced some Qi cultivation skills, and I did absorb some strange air currents from these bones before, which made my body recover a lot, but I don't know what my mother-in-law wants to do has to do with these bones?"

Cui Xiu pretended to nourish her qi kung fu, and the old woman didn't ask much, as far as the old woman herself said, she was just an ordinary old man when she was alive, maybe she lived for a long time and understood a lot of truth, or she had more knowledge after becoming a ghost, but after all, she didn't say anything suspicious.

And she just wanted Cui Xiu to help, so it was enough for her that Cui Xiu could absorb the things on the human bones.

"Dissatisfied with Childe, the old woman wants Childe to help, and it is related to the things in these bones. ”

Hearing Cui Xiu's inquiry, the old woman recalled for a while before she spoke slowly.

Cui Xiu also knew that the air currents in those human bones were actually related to the environment of this place.

Five years ago, Liu Hu and his bandits killed the people of Liujia Village and threw their bodies in the mountains and forests here.

Due to the environmental impact of this rehmannia area, they all turned into ghosts after death, and they can still maintain their sanity before death.

At first, some people also proposed revenge, but unfortunately, the villagers who became ghosts did not have any special abilities, and they could only act at night, and they could not do anything to retaliate at all.

Of course, if the villagers can become stronger, it is not impossible.

But one important thing is that the villagers who have become ghosts have become stronger, and they can't leave here at all.

That's fine, most of the villagers in Liujia Village are honest villagers, and they can still exist in the world after death, which is not too bad for them.

They even sometimes think of reminding passers-by who happen to pass by here that they don't have to stay at the foot of Liujia Village, and they can get by.

But then things changed.

The villagers who turned into ghosts began to disappear gradually, and they disappeared inexplicably.

For a while, the villagers panicked.

Not to mention reminding passers-by, some villagers even became a little irrational.

Some people have also thought about finding out the reason, but unfortunately they are all uninformed villagers, where can they find any clues.

Later, the bones of a merchant who was killed by bandits were left here, and he also became a ghost, and the remaining villagers, with the help of the trader, realized that it was the influence of the environment, and also found the source of these effects.

It's a pity that no one has been able to solve this source.

Later, some ghosts gradually disappeared, because of Liu Hu and other bandits, and from time to time there would be corpses thrown and become new ghosts.

Everyone tried to make a change, but unfortunately no one was able to solve it, even if they had asked for help from a bold scholar, they still couldn't break through the fog here, but the scholar was eroded and died by a strange gray mist, and even the ghost did not appear.

When Cui Xiu heard this, he could roughly guess that the gray mist that killed the scholar might be the gray air flow he absorbed.

However, although he had an idea in his heart, he did not interrupt the old woman's words, and continued to listen quietly with peace of mind.

The ghost, who was forced to lose his mind by the environment, did not do anything to warn the passers-by, but only became more and more crazy and disappeared faster.

Only the old woman and her two grandchildren, because of their kindness, will occasionally mention passers-by.

And they did get a good reward.

Once, a Taoist priest passed by here, and was mentioned by the old woman, but he saw the identity of the ghost of the old woman's family, but he didn't have any way, but left a wooden plaque for the old woman's family.

Let them usually hide in the wooden card, which can play a role in protecting the soul.

The wooden card did help, and then until all the ghosts disappeared because of the environment here, and the old woman's family still existed.

It's just that lately, that wooden sign doesn't work very well, and it's become a little rotten.

"Mother-in-law wants me to solve the source of the anomaly here?"

Cui Xiu almost understood what the old woman meant, it was nothing more than seeing that he could absorb the gray air flow in the human bones, unlike the bold scholar, who would suffer from the erosion of the gray air flow, and wanted him to help solve the trouble.

When the old woman heard this, she nodded, touched Xiaocao's head, and said with a wry smile: "That's right, my wife doesn't care, it's just that Xiaocao'er has become a ghost at such an age, not to mention being trapped here, now it has become a ghost, and she has to encounter another tragedy, and the old woman can't bear it." ”

"Don't hide it from Childe, the reason why the old woman knows Childe's ability is also because of this skull, this skull belongs to my other grandson, after Childe took away the things inside, my grandson got rid of the erosion of the gray fog here, and is now hiding in the wooden plaque given by the Taoist. ”

The old woman hopes that Gongzi can help Xiaocao and her younger brother, and she doesn't want Gongzi to solve the weirdness of this place, just collect the things on Xiaocao'er's bones, take this wooden plaque, and take her sister and brother away from here. ”

When the old woman said this, she took Xiaocao'er and knelt down for Cui Xiu, and said in a lamenting voice: "No matter what happens in the future, it is good that the son can take care of one or two, that is, if he leaves here, there is the Lord of Hades to collect the soul, and her sister and brother have a chance to take care of their lives, it is better than staying here." ”

Cui Xiu was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she didn't expect the old woman's request to be so simple.

He thought that the old woman would ask him to help solve the strange source of this place, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

It stands to reason that he is not a good person, and his life experience in his previous life has made him a more selfish person, although he has certain principles, but he is definitely not a character who will help easily.

It's just that maybe it was influenced by the original owner who had read Confucian books for many years, or maybe he had a lot of good thoughts in his heart, and the memory of the original owner only opened the defense line in his heart a little.

In addition, the old woman is also kind to him......

"Mother-in-law, hurry up, you don't have to be like this, can you take me to the source first?"

Cui Xiu decided to give it a try, if he could rely on the Gray Mist ability to solve the troubles here.

If it can be solved, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the old woman and Xiaocao.

Of course, although he has good intentions, he will only try it if he guarantees his own life.

If there was anything wrong, he could only retreat and do what the old woman said.

The old woman was a little surprised when she heard this: "Childe, that place is a dangerous place for the living, Childe can absorb those things, but ......"

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, just go and see the situation, and then make plans, if it doesn't work, I won't do my best. ”

Cui Xiu smiled slightly.

In fact, from the old woman's previous words, he didn't hear that the source of the mutation had any direct harm to people.

If there is, it's just a gray airflow.

For him, the gray air flow is a source of great use.
