Chapter 92 Inquiry

Elder Xun Gang did not give up. He asked Di You to go to the villages outside Quanchun Town to inquire again, and emphasized: "Just inquire, don't cause trouble. Xiong Minxia died outside, you don't want to die outside either, right?"

Diyou's heart was pounding, and he quickly responded, "Yes, Elder."

Xiong Minxia was a top-notch talent, but she failed outside. I am a low-ranking talent...

Let’s just forget it.

He doesn't think that his ability is greater than Xiong Minxia's.

Di You dressed up as a free man, took a job in Quanchun Town, and blended into the team of officials.

Don't count on the officials in Quanchun Town. Even if there are extraordinary people, their level is very low, just a small ordinary person.

Anyone with a slightly better rank as a sixth-rank official could get a job as a team leader, which shows how poor the quality of officials in Quanchun Town is.

It's not just Quanchun Town that's like this, officials in many places are like this. Di You vaguely remembered that the reason why he joined the White Lotus Sect was because their village encountered a monster, but the officials were not competent and each of them was unable to take care of themselves, which led to his relatives dying at the hands of the monster.

From then on, Di You hated the government and those wealthy families who only knew how to oppress others and never took care of their own business.

He wanted revenge, so when the White Lotus Sect came to recruit disciples, he joined directly.

Blinded by hatred, he used the power of the White Lotus to take revenge and killed the monster. He was also proud of being a member of the White Lotus for a time.

But the White Lotus Sect killed people for treasures and harmed innocent people.

With blood on his hands, Di You was at a loss. He wanted to be a good person, but the world was too difficult and forced him to be a bad person.

He had no choice.

"Can this thing really drive away monsters?"

"Really? Why would I lie to you? I was able to escape from the clutches of the monster with this thing."

After listening for a while, Diyou felt a little speechless.

Do they know what can drive away the monsters?

That is a magical weapon.

Even the White Lotus Sect doesn't have many of them, and only elders have them. This shows how rare this thing is.

As a result, in the mouths of these people, this thing is just the cabbage from the field, which can be bought with just a few copper coins?

Fools are just fools, and they are really stupid!

However, what Diyou did not expect was that not long after, they were attacked by monsters.

What he didn't expect was that when the others were fleeing in all directions because of the monster, those few people relied on a few strings of amulets on their bracelets to avoid the monster's clutches and hid under a tree tremblingly.

If Di You hadn't followed the official and taken advantage of the situation, keeping his eyes and ears open, he would have almost failed to notice it.

After the official ran away, Di You turned back.

"Oh my god! I'm so scared! Lao Zhi, your bracelet amulet is really useful. The monsters don't run towards us anymore."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm scared to death. Lao Zhong, where did you buy this?"

"Didn't I tell you? The Mountain God Caravan costs six copper coins a string."

"Six copper coins can buy a bunch of life-saving things, it's worth it."

"You can only block it three times. If you block it more than that, it won't work."

"Hey, six copper coins can save your life, and you still think it's too expensive? Sell it to me for six copper coins, and I won't mind if you use it."

"Go away! Go find the Mountain God Caravan and buy it yourself."

…

Mountain God Caravan? Diyou looked confused, wondering why he had never heard of this name.

Could it be that it has only recently appeared?

Di You was elusive and eavesdropped everywhere, and he actually heard a lot of news.

"Have you heard? Qinghe Village was destroyed by a wolf-hunting beast!"

"I know. I heard about it, too. It's strange. I heard there were hundreds of wolves."

"Oh my goodness! There are hundreds of wolves. They are not going to run towards us, are they?"

"You are talking about old times. Qinghe Village has started to build a new village."

"Aren't they all dead?"

"There are still a few left. They have been preaching everywhere lately, asking people to believe in their mountain god."

…

Lord Mountain God?

Diyou thought of the mountain god caravan he had heard about before, and wondered if there was any connection between them.

But we need to find out more details.

"I heard that the people of Beixi Village were attacked by the White Lotus Sect and almost massacred the entire village."

"Is this true? Aren't the White Lotus Sect members very kind? Why would they massacre an entire village?"

"I don't know, it seems that Beixi Village has taken in someone."

…

Di You sighed. As soon as he heard it, he knew who did it. It must be Hua Chengjun, Xiong Minxia and others.

He and Elder Xun Gang had stayed in Quanchun Town for so many years, and there had never been any news of such a thing. But it happened as soon as they arrived. Apart from them, Di You couldn't think of anyone else who might have known about it.

"I've been hearing you talk about the mountain god. What is he like? How does he accept sacrifices?"

"I heard that mountain gods don't eat people."

"You're kidding, it's impossible. How can there be a god who doesn't eat people? It must be fake. I know it's fake the moment I hear it."

"I don't know about that. Anyway, I heard that people in Nanxi Village and Fengyang Village all believe in this mountain god."

…

Di You silently memorized Nanxi Village and Fengyang Village in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, the direction where the two people got into trouble seemed to be towards Nanxi Village.

Could it be that this matter is related to the so-called "mountain god"?

Di You found an excuse to part ways with the official, went straight to the nearest Fengyang Village, and then went to Nanxi Village.

Seeing the identical plants outside the two villages, Diyou had an idea. It seemed that the two men really believed in the same god.

Di You speculated that it should be a plant-type monster, otherwise there wouldn't be so many identical plants outside the village.

After making sure that no one had discovered him, Di You did not alert the enemy, but quietly went to the place where Xiong Minxia had the accident - Yilan Village.

Sure enough, this kind of plant also grows outside the village.

He stayed in the village for a few days and vaguely heard villagers passing by mentioning things like "mountain gods", "messengers of God", and "fairies", but he didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered.

Just as he was about to go back and report to the elders, he saw a little child.

"Stupid boy, come out here!"

Suddenly, Sun Dashan's noisy voice was heard outside the courtyard gate, and the village chief Wumu frowned. He had heard a lot of complaints from villagers recently, saying that Sun Dashan was lazy at work and was using his son to owe them food rations.

Village chief Wumu knew that everyone in the village had some minor problems, but they were not bad people. Knowing that Sun Dashan had a son, he would take care of him to some extent.

But taking care of someone is one thing, but if you're lazy at work and even deliberately bring your son to their house while you're working to demand food from them, they'll definitely feel uncomfortable.

Chief Wumu Village had no idea what to do about this matter. After all, the people were family members who came to their village to die. Even if the responsibility was not theirs, they could not drive them out of the village and make the matter too serious.

These days, it’s not easy for anyone.

Village chief Wumu went out and asked Sun Dashan what he was doing.

"What am I doing? I'm looking for that stupid boy. He took my son away."

Hearing the other party calling him a "silly boy", Wumu Village Chief was a little unhappy: "Why did Ming Qi look for your son? He has been so busy recently that he doesn't even have time to play with my grandson. How can he have time to look for your son?"

"If he wasn't looking for my son, then where was my son?"

"Shouldn't I ask you where your son is? Didn't you take him with you when you worked? Where is he?"

Sun Dashan felt guilty.

Because he was scolded by his employer yesterday and was in a bad mood. When he came back and his son cried out that he was hungry, he got angry and told his son to get out.

As a result, when he got up this morning, not only was he late for work, but he also hadn't seen his son until noon, and he became anxious. He searched the places where his son usually played but couldn't find him. Apart from Ming Qi, he couldn't think of who else could have taken his son away.
