Chapter 1901: Strange Things in the Mountains

"What did that old man say to you this morning?" Niu Xi asked while pulling the donkey cart on the rugged mountain road.

He certainly knew that Niu Bao went to see Niu Shun, who was transformed by Jia Zhengjin, in the morning. After all, the two families were not far away and could be seen standing at the door.

"Xizi, he is your father after all, and this name..."

"Shunzi, don't worry about our family's affairs." Niu Xi interrupted, "No matter what the old man said to you, don't pay attention to it."

"He didn't say anything, but he thought you were acting strangely recently." Jia Zhengjin replied, "Of course, he didn't know that we got the treasure in the maze on the mountain. Don't worry, I didn't say anything about this."

"That's good!" Niu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, you and your son care about each other very much. Why can't you stop being so confrontational and talk nicely?" Jia Zhengjin looked back at Niu Xi, "Uncle Bao asked me to persuade you to mend your ways and stop running around and hanging out with the wrong people like before. And in order to cure Uncle Bao's illness, you actually gave up a thousand pounds of red gold and used elixirs to help him recover. In fact, if you are just a little more frank, you can be like a normal father and son..."

"There's no need to talk about this kind of family affairs," Niu Xi said, "I don't need you to decide what I want to do and who I want to associate with."

"That's not what I meant." Jia Zhengjin said hurriedly, "Everyone has their own life and their own choices. I can't possibly interfere with your life and choices. Everything depends on you. At most, I can make a suggestion. As for what to do, it's up to you. "

"You are a very honest person. If it were someone else, I would have been too lazy to care about it." Niu Xi said, "But don't talk about my family's affairs anymore."

"Okay! It has nothing to do with me anyway." Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Today we will find a way to pass the third level of the maze. There should be more treasures, right?"

"I think so too. I wonder how many levels there are in the maze?"

"No matter how many levels there are, we have to get through them." Jia Zhengjin responded, "Take out all the treasures in the maze!"

"That's for sure!"

As the two talked, they kept walking up.

On the way, Jia Zhengjin suddenly remembered what happened last night, so he turned back and asked softly: "Xizi, have you heard of any strange things in our Niulan Village? It's best if it's related to ghosts."

"Related to ghosts? Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Just curious,

Are there any stories about female ghosts harming people in our Niulan Village?"

"Female ghosts harming people?" Niu Xi shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

"Really? There has never been such a story?"

"Yes! How can there be so many ghosts and monsters in our poor mountain village?" Niu Xi responded calmly, "It's just that jackals, tigers and leopards are more dangerous... How come you don't even know this?"

"Hey! I rarely interact with people, don't I talk much, and go up the mountain to chop wood every day?" Jia Zhengjin said, "From childhood to adulthood, no one has told me stories. I suddenly want to listen..."

"Oh! I have heard a lot of stories, including those about ghosts and monsters. But most of them are from the past, or from the county, county town or even other countries. If you really want to listen, I can tell you a few." Niu Xi said.

"I want to hear the ghost stories of our Niulan Mountain. If there are none, forget it!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand.

"I really haven't heard of this. Why don't you ask Wang Xu at dinner? He is a scholar and knows a lot."

"That's one way."

"I think that with the Feng Shui of our Niulan Village, there won't be any demons or ghosts. In fact, from ancient times to the present, our Niulan Village has always been very stable, and such a big thing has never happened!"

Hearing Niu Xi say this, Jia Zhengjin was suddenly shocked.

So the appearance of the female ghost last night was either related to his appearance or to Chu Daya.

If she followed me, how could she bypass me and attack Chu Daya?

According to reasoning, the female ghost targeted Chu Daya, and she was attracted by that little Lolita.

Could it be that Chu Daya has something special?

Or, Chu Daya is not a transformation of Yue Lang? Did he arrange the female ghost?

No!

First of all, Yue Lang should not know that he has transformed into Niu Shun.

Secondly, Chu Daya has only seen Niu Xi once or twice since she came. Each time, she quickly avoided him or even hid, just like facing other villagers. She is quite shy.

If she was transformed by Yue Lang, she should not avoid Niu Xi, but should be more proactive in approaching him.

She should not be transformed by Yue Lang. But why did the female ghost not appear before, but suddenly appeared after Chu Daya came, and even almost killed Chu Daya.

No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't understand it. Jia Zhengjin needed to find out the truth. What happened to the female ghost last night?

But as long as it was not transformed by Yue Lang, there would be no big problem. The doubts can be figured out sooner or later.

While thinking, he and Niu Xi continued to move towards the maze.

When they walked to a dense weeds as tall as a person, they suddenly heard a rustling sound.

The two quickly turned to face the direction of the sound, one drew a bow and arrow, and the other raised a hatchet, ready to fight at any time.

Worried that it was a ferocious beast, the two looked at each other and held their weapons tightly.

Jia Zhengjin moved back a little and closer to the donkey cart and Niu Xi. Of course, he was not afraid, but he just needed to protect the borrowed donkey cart from being damaged, and also make sure that Niu Xi, the original owner of the bet, was safe and sound.

Niu Xi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. What he was most worried about was encountering jackals, tigers and leopards in this area. After all, even the best hunters might not be able to escape unscathed when encountering wild beasts in the mountains.

The sound of rustling in the bushes became clearer and closer.

Niu Xi looked very nervous.

Jia Zhengjin was actually a little worried. If tigers and leopards really came, or even wild wolves appeared, how would he deal with it?

It didn't matter to him. He would not die at all. Instead, the beast that bit him to death would be burned to ashes.

The problem was that this situation could not happen in front of Niu Xi, otherwise the bet would really be over!

Just thinking about it, there was another rustling sound in the bushes, and then a thin old man with a straw hat appeared, bending over and lowering his head, and his face could not be seen clearly. Indistinctly, it was found that the hands and feet that were not covered by the old man's clothes were indistinguishable, and they were actually hairy.

"Do you think I look like a human?" The thin old man asked Jia Zhengjin in a very shrill voice.

Jia Zhengjin was stunned, and he couldn't react. What was going on?

Niu Xi's eyes widened, as if he remembered something. He quickly pulled Jia Zhengjin from behind and whispered in his ear: "Could this be that one?"

"Which one?" Jia Zhengjin didn't understand and turned around to ask.

"It might be a goblin who wants to be crowned and transformed!" Niu Xi whispered, "You have to say he looks like a person, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble!"

"Really?" Jia Zhengjin hesitated. He was not afraid of these, but after all, he had to consider his current identity as Niu Shun.

"Do you think I look like a person?" the thin old man asked again.

Niu Xi gently poked Jia Zhengjin's back with his finger: "Say it!"

Jia Zhengjin then spoke: "Looks like a person!"

As soon as the voice fell, the thin old man suddenly grew in size, and the long hair on his hands and feet could be clearly seen, and even a tail behind his buttocks quickly disappeared. He found his straw hat, and the beast's head flashed by, and instantly turned into a young man about the same age as Niu Shun and Niu Xi.

The man bowed to Jia Zhengjin, said thank you, then turned around and disappeared into the bushes.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju
