Chapter 92: Building a House, Such a Broken House (Please Subscribe, Please Pass the Monthly Ticket)
Xiaoyin, came out directly.
Chen Yushu had naturally told Xiaoyin about going out a long time ago.
And her identity is also very special to Chen Yushu. She is Sister Qiao'er's trusted ghost and is temporarily staying with him.
Now that he was about to go into the mountains, it would be difficult for him to abandon her.
Xiaoyin also didn't want to stay at home alone.
Fortunately, after Xiaoyin reminded him, he realized that ghosts can actually possess "yin jade" and "old objects" without being affected by the outside world.
As it happened, Chen Yushu had one of these items. It was a gift from Liu Qingyan to him, an ancient phoenix jade. Not only was it a Yin jade, but it was also an old artifact that could calm the mind and ward off evil spirits. Of course, it could also serve as a hiding place for Xiaoyin.
But after all, being in that old container is not as comfortable as being outside.
So after feeling that the surrounding aura could no longer affect her, Xiaoyin jumped out directly.
Chen Yushu noticed that no one around him noticed Xiaoyin's presence. Only the geomancer Lu Yizi in front of him suddenly turned his head and took a look, but did not say much.
Obviously, he could also see Xiaoyin, but he guessed that Xiaoyin was his servant, so he didn't care.
Chen Yushu had no explanation for this, and silently took it on his way.
Tianyuan Mountain has lush vegetation and rugged roads, but as a holy place for the herbalists in Qianjia Village, some roads have actually been opened up by humans.
Therefore, the group walked quite fast.
Occasionally, Chen Yushu could see some life hidden in the dense forest and grass.
After all, his eyesight is very sharp now.
At a glance, as long as it is not completely blocked, you can see through the light and see some creatures hiding in the dark.
Pheasants, hares, poisonous insects and snakes... and some other wild animals.
Of course, there are also herbs.
Chen Yushu knows quite a few herbs.
He had read all the medical books in the side room of the Liu family's pharmacy, which recorded many herbs and the environment they needed to grow.
There are several species that are considered precious medicinal herbs. One plant can be worth more than a hundred coins.
Of course, there is no magic medicine.
A precious medicine with extremely high value.
The minimum price for one plant is thirty taels of silver.
Although Tianyuan Mountain is a famous place for producing precious medicines nearby, it is actually not very common, not to mention in this sunny place. It has been walked and seen by countless herbalists all year round, so it is difficult to miss any.
"It's noon now, why is there still fog?"
Next to Chen Yushu was Master Qian Qian, who suddenly pointed to a small area of dense forest in the distance.
"Don't go in there. It's filled with miasma from the mountains. If you're not careful, you could easily get lost in it and fall asleep. Once night falls, it'll be dangerous."
Qian Yungen in front quickly reminded.
"Let's move a little to the side."
Qian Hu, who was standing by, also spoke up, trying to avoid the dense forest as much as possible.
Chen Yushu also looked towards the miasma-filled area and vaguely saw a little old man standing in the miasma, blowing air outwards.
It comes in gusts, and if someone passes by and inhales the miasma, they will easily be drawn in.
"snort!"
Just at this time, Lu Yizi passed by there. The little old man hiding inside was still blowing air, and gusts of miasma just floated in front of him.
Immediately, he became unhappy, and then he snorted coldly, exerted a little strength, and stomped his foot on the ground.
In Chen Yushu's eyes, he immediately saw a black gas that was directly drawn out and shot towards the old man in the dense forest like a sharp sword.
"ah……"
Faintly, a scream was heard.
The miasma gradually dissipated.
“Is this the method of a geomancer?
"With one step, he directly stirred up the earth's energy, and with the help of the earth's energy, he blew away the ghost?"
Chen Yushu was also startled. At this moment, he felt a hint of coldness on his hand. It turned out to be Xiaoyin, who was originally jumping around. She noticed this situation, shrank back in fright, and came directly to his side, holding his big hand with her small hand.
Then a voice came: "Brother Yushu, that man is so fierce."
This is a rule that Chen Yushu learned after his contact with Xiaoyin, that is, when a ghost has physical contact with him, he can hear the other party speaking even if he does not enter the Yin state.
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you."
Chen Yushu comforted.
"Um!"
Xiaoyin nodded, but didn't dare to run around like before. She held Chen Yushu's hand and followed him on Tianyuan Mountain.
Qian Qian, who was standing by, opened his eyes wide at this moment, looked at Chen Yushu, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Um?"
Chen Yushu turned his head away in confusion.
"Who are you talking to?"
Qian Qian asked again, not knowing why, he suddenly felt creepy and his body was a little cold.
"I didn't say anything."
Chen Yushu replied.
"You didn't say anything?"
Qian Qian asked back, but then felt that he might have been making a fuss out of nothing, so he could only nod in confusion.
"Brother Yushu, look over there. There's a pitiful old lady, trapped under a rock, unable to move."
Suddenly, Xiaoyin spoke again.
Chen Yushu followed the direction she pointed and saw an old woman struggling under a stone not far away.
"I'll help it."
Xiaoyin said this, and quickly let go of Chen Yushu's hand and jumped in that direction.
"Don't go over there."
Chen Yushu quickly spoke up and stretched out his hand to stop him, but failed.
Xiaoyin jumped under the stone and helped push it, but the stone didn't move at all. Even when she tried to support herself with her hands and feet, her arms went straight into the stone and couldn't move it at all.
After a few times, she gave up and ran back with a lost look on her face.
"What are you talking about?"
Qian Qian looked at Chen Yushu suspiciously and asked.
"I didn't say anything?"
Chen Yushu said expressionlessly.
"I clearly heard it."
Qian Qianlian said.
“You heard wrong.
This is an old mountain forest with a strong yin energy, making it easy to hide those things.
Master Qian, did you see it?"
Chen Yushu had no choice but to change the subject.
"No... can't I?"
Qian Qian himself also had doubts.
Although people who practice martial arts are very courageous.
But everyone would instinctively feel afraid of ghosts.
He was really afraid that he would be entangled by that thing.
Chen Yushu didn't say anything more and continued to follow the hunters and herbalists in front.
Xiaoyin seemed to have forgotten the fear she had felt when Lu Yizi was exorcising ghosts, and began to jump and skip through the forest again.
From time to time, you will encounter some ghosts and spirits.
Some drifted in from elsewhere, while others died nearby and became earthbound spirits, unable to move at all.
Just like the old woman before, after being crushed to death by the stone, her soul has been trapped under the stone forever, unable to move at all.
Time passes by unknowingly.
Chen Yushu and his group walked and stopped, and two or three hours passed.
The sky gradually darkened.
"It's dark now. We can't leave."
At this time, Qian Yungen, the herbalist in the front, spoke quickly.
"stop!
Rest here, light a fire and cook."
Liu Qingyan did not refuse. With a call, everyone stopped and found a relatively flat place to rest.
But at this time, Lu Yizi was busy.
At this time, he was holding a small flag in his hand. He looked around from time to time, then aimed at a specific position and inserted the small flag.
"What is Mr. Lu doing?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
Chen Yushu took a look and saw that the person who spoke was Liu Yong, the doctor who had previously helped treat patients in the pharmacy.
"Build a house!"
Liu Qingyan answered.
"Build a house?"
Liu Yong was stunned.
When the others heard this, they also paused, and some even stopped what they were doing.
“When a person settles down in a place, the first thing he has to do is to build a house, indicating that this place is his own and no one else can come in.
And in the wild, who knows whose territory this is?
If you don't build a house, people can just break in. Then they will feel that you are offending them and taking up their space, and they will definitely cause trouble for you.
Therefore, when you are in the wild, you must plant flags around your residence, or if you don’t have flags, you can use branches to circle the entire resting area.
Set up another entrance and exit, blocking it with a threshold.
When those things come, they will find that this place is occupied, and they will be reasonable and will not come in to disturb us."
This is how Liu Qingyan explained it.
She didn't know these things originally, but after being in contact with Lu Yizi for a long time, she knew that he would do this every time in the wild, so she found out after asking.
Understand that this is the rule of the trade.
Warriors have strong qi and blood, so they may rarely encounter such things.
After all, ghosts are empty creatures. When they meet someone with thick blood and energy, it is like being roasted by a fire. If you are not careful, you can easily burn yourself to death.
But once you encounter it, it will be extremely troublesome and you can easily be killed.
There are also reports of such things happening in the martial arts world.
It is even said that warriors above Yuan Gang level were assassinated because of this.
"ah?
What about the unreasonable ones?"
The group of people, most of whom were warriors, were hearing such a thing for the first time.
Then someone asked back.
“If you encounter someone who is unreasonable, there is no need to be polite.
A fight is inevitable at that time.
The enemies around saw it, but they wouldn't help because it was the one who acted unreasonably first. Even if it was beaten to death, the other enemies wouldn't care.
But at this time, Lu Yizi found a piece of wood, placed it at the entrance and exit of a small flag, arranged it horizontally, and then took over the conversation and explained.
Chen Yushu was also listening attentively at the side, and he really felt that he had gained some knowledge.
After thinking for a while, he walked to Xiaoyin, took her hand, and asked, "Xiaoyin, look around, what do you feel?"
“There’s a house.
We are in the house.
This house is very big, but also very shabby.
This is the first time I’ve seen such a dilapidated house.”
Xiaoyin was stunned at first, then said seriously.
