Chapter 19 Secret
Led by the middle-aged man, Lu Qingshan swaggered towards the village.
Along the way, some villagers continued to secretly look at Lu Qingshan, but just looking at the faces of these villagers, Lu Qingshan felt that something was wrong.
Why does everyone look so weird, their lips are blue and purple, as if they were poisoned, and everyone exudes a faint floral fragrance, and the smell is exactly the same.
But judging by the behavior of these people, it is very normal, and it doesn't look like something is wrong.
The middle-aged man brought Lu Qingshan all the way to the village, in front of a wooden building with the most aura.
It's strange to say that this wooden building is not far from the residences of other mortals, and there are no spiritual veins underground, but the spiritual energy is much more abundant than other places.
Moreover, here, the strange scent of flowers that could be smelled by the villagers turned out to be a little stronger again.
For monks, the more aura there is, the better it is for cultivation.
"Village Chief." The middle-aged man shouted outside the wooden building.
"What's the matter?" An old voice came from the wooden building.
"A monk from outside the mountain is visiting." The middle-aged man said respectfully.
Although the middle-aged man was just a mortal, it was very serious. When Lu Qingshan reported his family background and came from outside the mountain, he had already realized that Lu Qingshan's true identity should be a monk.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, Lu Qingshan heard hurried footsteps coming from the wooden building.
With a creak, the wooden door was opened.
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the so-called village chief who came out.
This is an old man who is more than seventy years old, with white hair, a little hunchback, and a black cloth wrapped around his head.
At the same time, he is also the monk with the highest cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi Refining in this village.
Seeing Lu Qingshan's youthful appearance, the village chief was unconsciously stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and warmly greeted him: "Your guest is coming, please come in and talk first."
Lu Qingshan was also polite, and walked into the wooden building.
But as soon as he stepped through the wooden door, Lu Qingshan couldn't help being startled when he saw the scene in the hall.
In the center of the wooden building, there is a small black earth pool, and there are many dark spar fragments in the earth pool.
Dozens of strange plants with black petals grew in the spar fragments of the earthen pond, emitting a strange smell and a faint aura.
That smell is exactly the fragrance of flowers that Lu Qingshan smelled.
But what really surprised Lu Qingshan was that the appearance of these strange flowers was exactly the same as that of the Blossoming Spirit Flower!
It's just that the petals of the blooming spirit flower are pink, which looks very beautiful, but the plant in front of me has black petals, and even the flower buds are black, which looks very strange.
Although he was surprised in his heart, Lu Qingshan didn't show it, and after he glanced at it, he didn't look any more.
The village chief asked Lu Qingshan to sit down and offered a cup of green tea, "This is Biyun tea, it has the effect of clearing the heart and rejuvenating the mind."
Lu Qingshan took the green tea, just held it in his hand, and didn't drink it.
"I don't know what to call fellow Taoist?" The village chief asked, "I'm Xia Sangku."
"Lu Qingshan."
"Fellow Daoist Lu," Sang Ku immediately changed his tune, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Lu came from outside the mountain?"
"exactly,
"Lu Qingshan nodded, "Accidentally, I strayed into the depths of the Three Thousand Mountains, and now I'm lost and don't know how to get out. I don't know if Village Chief Sang has a map of this place. If you can give me a copy, I will be very grateful. "
Sangku's eyes flickered.
Their village was located in the depths of the Three Thousand Mountains. Unless it was intentional, how could it be said that they accidentally entered here by mistake?
The reason is very simple, can you walk from Qingzhou to Ningzhou by accident?
But even though he knew this truth in his heart, he was still very sensible, he didn't say much, but without hesitation, he took out a piece of parchment from the storage bag hanging on his waist and handed it to Lu Qingshan.
"This is the map of the Three Thousand Mountains. Although it is simple and rough, it should be no problem to help fellow Taoists leave here." Sang Ku stroked his beard and said.
Lu Qingshan was overjoyed, and quickly took the parchment, only to see a few points were roughly marked on it, and the terrain of the mountains was drawn. Finally, a red line was used to mark a route away from the Three Thousand Mountains.
After memorizing the map deeply in his mind, Lu Qingshan asked again: "Have you seen a little deer demon recently, Fellow Daoist Sang, with two golden horns..."
Lu Qingshan and Sang Ku described Chenghuang's appearance in detail.
Sangku pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
Seeing the disappointed expression on Lu Qingshan's face, Sang Ku immediately added: "But maybe someone in the village has seen it, I can call all the villagers to help you ask about the situation."
Lu Qingshan was overjoyed and thanked: "Then please trouble fellow Daoist Sang."
Sang Ku shook his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter."
"Sang Yin." Sang Ku called out.
The middle-aged man who was waiting outside the door immediately walked in and said respectfully, "The village chief."
"Call the residents of the village here, I have something to ask them."
"Understood." Sang Yin quickly retreated.
…………
But after a while, there were soft footsteps outside the wooden building, and more and more villagers began to gather.
"Village chief, everyone in the village is outside." Soon, Sang Yin walked in and reported with Village Chief Sangku.
Sang Ku nodded, "Fellow Daoist Lu, let's go out."
After leaving the wooden building, I saw that the open space in front of the wooden building was already full of people's voices.
Since Sangku was talking about all the villagers, even young children came.
Standing at the forefront are a dozen monks from the village.
Seeing the village chief come out, the crowd who were still talking about it suddenly fell silent and all stared at Sangku.
This situation made Lu Qingshan somewhat surprised.
It seems that the prestige of the village chief Sangku is very high.
"Villagers, this honored guest wants to find a monster. This monster is in the shape of a small deer with a pure white body and two golden horns on its head. Has any of you seen it during this period of time?" ?” Sangku’s spiritual power was used in the sound, which spread to the ears of every villager.
Nearly a thousand villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one stood up to speak for a long time.
After waiting for a long time, Sang Ku showed a disappointed expression on his face, and apologized to Lu Qingshan: "Friend Lu, it seems that there is no news."
"Fellow Daoist Sang not only gave me the map, but is also willing to go through such a lot of trouble for me. I am extremely grateful." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, expressing that he didn't care, after all, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
He just paused, but Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed brightly, and he said again: "I don't know what kind of trouble Village Chief Sang has encountered? But if you tell me, if I can help, I will do my best."
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
He obviously didn't know Sang Kusu, but Sang Kusu was so enthusiastic about him, either he had other plans for him, or he was asking for something.
Given the difference in cultivation between the two, it is obvious that the latter is more likely.
Being exposed by Lu Qingshan's words, Sang Ku's eyes flickered for a moment, and he no longer cared about Zuo Yan, and simply confessed, "I do have a matter, and I want to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to help me."
Lu Qingshan didn't say a word, waiting for the next article.
Sang Ku straightened his mind and said, "You must be very curious, fellow Daoist Lu, why can such a small and weak village survive in a place full of such monsters?"
