"At first, we all thought this was a good thing. The further we go into Jingshan, the more fertile the mountains are. Everyone has made a lot of money!"

"But then strange things started happening. From one day on, some people went up to Jingshan and never came back."

Bai Jingchuan tasted a piece of crispy cake and moved the plate towards Qin Yanning, indicating that she should try it too. Xinyi watched their actions calmly, feeling that something was wrong.

Bai Jingchuan swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said, "But you live off the land, so you should also understand that there are always dangers in the mountains. Although it's unfortunate that a few people have disappeared, it's also normal, right?"

Pang Laosan glanced at Bai Jingchuan, as if he had not expected that this seemingly weak young man actually knew all this.

Pang Laosan pulled out the pipe he always carried with him from behind his back, rubbed the flint to light the tobacco inside, and took a deep drag. "If only a few people were missing, I wouldn't say it was a strange thing. We rely on the mountain for our livelihood. If the mountain master wants to take one or two people away, we will just consider it our bad luck."

"But since then, there have been ten people who have entered the mountain. No, there have been a hundred people who have not come out!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanning looked up at Pang Laosan. Pang Laosan's eyes were red and there were a few tears in them.

Seeing Qin Yanning looking at him, Pang Lao San raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, young lady. My son followed everyone into the mountains to make more money, and died there."

Qin Yanning felt sorry for the situation. Pang Laosan looked old and disabled. This son who died in Jingshan might have been his hope for the rest of his life.

But could the current chaos in Jingshan be caused by the raccoons she saw in her dream?

Qin Yanning paused and asked, "Even if that's the case, Jingshan wouldn't attract so many demon hunters to join in the fun, right?"

After hearing this, Pang Lao San looked around and made sure that no one was around before dragging his stool closer to Qin Yanning and the others and whispered, "The strangest thing happened three months ago."

"Three months ago, one night, the dogs in our village started barking like crazy. The next day, we woke up and saw a person sleeping under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village."

"A few brave people in the village went up to take a look and found that the person sleeping was Liu Zhuang, one of the first group to disappear in Jingshan."

Pang Laosan took another puff of his cigarette and told everything that happened next in detail.

Liu Zhuang is fifty-five years old this year, not much younger than Pang Lao San. Before entering Jingshan, half of his hair had fallen out and he had few good teeth.

After being missing for a few months, when Liu Zhuang came out of Jingshan again, not only did he have a head full of black hair, he also looked a lot younger, and all the illnesses he had in his youth were cured.

Liu Zhuang himself said that as soon as he entered Jingshan, it was like entering a fairyland. In Jingshan, he married a beautiful wife and concubines, had several sons, and lived a life like a rich man.

At first, only the people in Pangjia Village knew that Liu Zhuang had returned alive from Jingshan. As the news spread, the people in the surrounding villages and the nobles in Jingzhou City also knew about it.

People say that there are immortals living in Jingshan. It is possible that Liu Zhuang was blessed by the immortals and became young overnight.

At first, there were only some people who wanted to try their luck and go to Jingshan to look for the immortal. Later, many monster hunters came and went near Pangjia Village, wanting to find the immortal on Jingshan.

However, there seems to be some problems on the mountain recently. I don’t know if the big formation is coming back or what. Many people got lost not long after entering Jingshan, and then walked down the mountain again.

At this point, Pang Lao San's face showed a little smile again, and all the wrinkles on his face were piled up together. "I don't ask my son to be blessed by the gods. As long as he can come back alive, it will be a blessing for me."

Qin Yanning thought for a moment and asked, "Besides Liu Zhuang, is there anyone else who came back alive?"

Pang Lao San hummed, "There are a few, all of them are farmers in the nearby villages, but people like you, once you go in, you never come back."

The demon catcher went in and never came out?

Qin Yanning's eyes dimmed slightly. The groups of demon catchers she had seen here for half a day were not considered ordinary people. How could it be possible that not a single demon catcher could get out?

As for the so-called immortals, Qin Yanning didn't believe them at all. A Lian had already told her that this small world didn't have any immortals. The demons absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transformed into human form, and humans refined the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become demon hunters, but this was not a world with immortals.

Whether it is a human or a demon, there will be a day when their lifespan ends. Only in this way can this small world function in accordance with the law.

Bai Jingchuan also didn't believe in the so-called immortals, but he quickly realized that the reason these demon hunters wanted to enter Jingshan was not to find any immortal fate, but to find something that could make Wang Zhuang regain his youth.

There is only one magical herb in the world that can make people rejuvenate. Although the lifespan of the monster catcher is longer than that of ordinary people, he still cannot resist the temptation of extending his own lifespan.

I just don’t know what is hidden in Jingshan that has caused so many monster hunters to go there and never return.

Bai Jingchuan looked at Qin Yanning. Before leaving the capital, Qin Yanning said that he wanted to come to Jingshan.

But when he arrived at Jingshan, he discovered that Qin Yanning had no idea what had happened there. So why did she insist on making such a trip? What did she know?

Feeling Bai Jingchuan's probing eyes, Qin Yanning slapped him unhappily, "If you keep looking at me, I'll dig your eyes out."

Qin Yanning's threat was obviously weak, and Bai Jingchuan did not take his eyes off her.
