Chapter 353: Searching for the Nian Beast
Looking at the old ancestor's face that pretended to be mature, Meng Yunbang couldn't help but sigh and cursed his grandson in his heart.
If he hadn't told the ancestor all those nonsense, how could the ancestor want to catch the Nian monster? That brat deserves to be beaten!
"Grandfather, I, I don't know where the Nian Beast will appear. If you want to catch the Nian Beast, where are you going to catch it?"
When Li Li heard this, she frowned, it seemed that this was the truth!
She touched her chin, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She knew where to catch the Nian monster!
Nian is a ferocious beast, and this guy must be a ferocious beast that bullies the weak and fears the strong, otherwise why would there be such a custom among the people? Maybe the Nian can be caught in the deep mountains and forests!
"Deep in the mountains and old forests?"
Meng Yunbang just felt tired. When the old ancestor became willful, it was really hard to deal with him!
He actually hoped that the adult could persuade the ancestor, but looking at the adult's tolerant look, it seemed impossible!
"Ancestor, let Guannan go with you!" Meng Yunbang thought for a moment and said.
"Can!"
"Grandfather, when are you going to leave?"
"I'll be leaving in a minute!"
Once the New Year is over, the Nian monster will run away, so we must take advantage of the New Year now to catch it.
If you set out a little later, you might not be able to find the Nian monster!
Meng Yunbang didn't say anything after hearing this. He directly called Guan Nan and told him to protect the ancestors well when they were away and not let them get hurt!
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect our ancestors!"
What's more, with our ancestors' level of cultivation, it's not certain who will protect whom!
Seeing this, Meng Yunbang also thought of his ancestor's terrifying fighting ability, but he was still worried about letting his ancestor go into the deep mountains and forests alone. Knowing is one thing, and worrying is another.
After all, he was confident in Guan Nan's cultivation. Even if the old monsters from various families took action, Guan Nan was able to fight and would definitely not hold his ancestors back!
When Meng Guanhe went to find his ancestor, he found out that his ancestor had taken people to catch the Nian monster. He was completely dumbfounded. Did his ancestor really go to catch the Nian monster?
"Look at what absurd stories you have told our ancestors. Our ancestors are still young and curious about everything. You are just looking for trouble!"
Meng Guanhe retorted unhappily, "I think our ancestors were right. There is no smoke without fire. Maybe the Nian Beast really exists. Why don't you take me with you?"
He also wanted to follow his ancestors to catch the Nian Beast. Maybe he could really catch it!
"you……"
It’s not that he looks down on his grandson, but his grandson’s fighting ability is really not good. He will only be a drag if he goes there, so he should just stay at home!
"What are you looking at me with? I'm already a second-level ancient martial artist, how come I can't do it!"
"Guan He, you have grown up and it is time for you to be sensible. Since you can practice ancient martial arts, then practice well and don't let down the training resources given to you by your ancestors!"
Looking at his grandson who looked awkward, Meng Yunbang sighed and said to him earnestly, "Guan He, you always say that I favor Guan Nan. Why do you think I favor him?"
"Guan Nan lost both his parents when he was young, and he is also weak and sickly. As a grandfather, I care about him a lot. You are all my grandchildren. There is no difference. Even if you are an ordinary person or a martial arts practitioner, in my heart, you are all the same!"
"Besides, you have to know that it has been Guan Nan who has been supporting me all these years. It is only natural that Grandpa is a little partial to me!"
"You have been targeting Guan Nan. You think Grandpa doesn't know. Grandpa just doesn't want to interfere in the affairs between you two brothers. You have to know that Guan Nan is also your brother!"
"I see!"
Meng Guanhe's neck stiffened and he didn't say much.
Long before, the conflict between him and Meng Guannan had been resolved.
…
"Grandfather, where should we go to find the Nian beast?"
You can't just go to a remote mountain or forest, there's no purpose at all!
"Um……"
Li Li held his chin up in thought. Legend has it that the Nian beast hides in the deep mountains and old forests. It will emerge from the deep mountains and old forests during the Spring Festival every year and then attack nearby villages.
If she wants to catch the Nian Beast, she must go to a remote mountain village. Only in a remote mountain village will the Nian Beast appear!
A remote mountain village?
Meng Guannan thought for a moment and said, "There is a deserted island not far from our clan, and on the deserted island there is a Canglan Mountain. If the ancestor has no target, how about we go to Canglan Mountain to take a look?"
"Canglan Mountain?"
"Yes!" Meng Guannan nodded and explained, "Because the deserted island is located in a remote area and there is no one on the island, few people notice it."
"There is a mountain called Canglan on the deserted island that stretches for tens of thousands of miles and has many large beasts. That's why disciples of the ancient martial arts family often go to that mountain to train. Maybe there will be the Nian beast that our ancestors want to find!"
"If it's deserted, doesn't that mean there are no people?"
Li Li frowned, "Guan He said that Nian likes to attack villages. There is no one there, so there is definitely no Nian. Let's go to another place!"
"My ancestors don't know that the island is far from being a deserted island. It was originally inhabited by people. Later, for unknown reasons, the islanders died mysteriously one after another. The islanders were scared and moved away from the island overnight. Later, because of the terrifying large beasts in the Canglan Mountains, the island became deserted today!"
"So, all humans who enter a deserted island and don't leave after three days will die unexpectedly?"
Li Li opened her round eyes wide, as if she smelled the scent of adventure. Could those humans who died mysteriously have been eaten by the Nian beast?
Thinking of this, Li Li became more and more excited. She wanted to go to that deserted island and investigate it thoroughly. It must be fun!
Looking at the old ancestor's bright eyes, Meng Guannan realized belatedly that he seemed to have done something wrong. Going to a deserted island, would the old ancestor follow him off the island obediently in three days?
Well, it feels unlikely!
Are there no resources on the island? Of course there are, but because of the strange power on the island, every human who enters the deserted island can only stay on the island for three days. Once more than three days, the people on the island will die mysteriously.
There were people who refused to believe in evil, but in the end, only a pile of bones was left.
He suddenly regretted it and felt that he shouldn't have said too much. Wasn't this pushing the ancestor into danger?
"Grandfather, we can only stay on the deserted island for three days, and we must leave after three days!"
That strange power has not been resolved for all these years. No matter whether it is the ancient martial arts practitioners or the Taoists in Longhu Mountain, they have no way to resolve it.
So even though the deserted island is rich in resources, no one dares to stay there for three days. That deserted island is also called the Island of Death!
"Yeah, I know, I know!"
