Chapter 42 Chapter 42 What kind of weakness?

The square-faced monk didn't know what was going on. The reason why he called Lin Yan and Rong Xu was because he couldn't see through Rong Xu's strength and hoped that these two people would not cause trouble for them. If

they wanted to investigate the corpse, they had to go to the village and didn't want other incidents to happen on the way.

The same reason applies to Lushan Yang.

Lin Yan said, "We have the same goal, maybe we can go together."

"No need, as long as the two immortal friends give Lushan Yang a face, Yang Zheng would like to thank you." The square-faced monk said.

Lin Yan finally understood where their hostility came from.

"Since it's not necessary, then I will go with my senior brother, you can do whatever you want." Lin Yan said.

"Hey, you pretty boy, don't you understand what I'm saying?" The man behind the square-faced monk was angry, glaring and moving forward, looking like he was going to hit someone.

Lin Yan was not afraid: "You guys take your own single-plank bridge, and we take our own Yangguan Road. We should not interfere with each other. Which house or mountain here has your name written on it? Since it's not your place, why don't you let us in?"

"Brother, ignore them, let's go."

Lin Yan grabbed Rong Xu's arm. The man followed him relentlessly and punched them, but was fixed in place and couldn't move. He was so scared that his face turned pale in an instant. When his companions saw this, they also showed a look of horror on their faces.

The square-faced monk released the spell that had held the man in place: "I've advised you two not to get involved in this mess."

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear any advice from your tone, but instead you tried to force us to leave. What, is there a treasure you want in there?" Lin Yan asked back.

Lin Yan usually has a good temper and doesn't like to be aggressive, but that doesn't mean he is weak and easy to bully.

Seeing that the faces of several people changed, Lin Yan frowned, is there really some magic weapon?

"Nonsense, don't frame good people here. Our eldest brother wants to save you. You really don't know what's good for you."

"What are you talking about? What good things have we not seen in the Yang family?"

"That's right, the secret realm is so big, why don't you go somewhere else, but insist on going with us, and you won't let people say it?"

Several people wanted to shout, but suddenly they couldn't make any sound. They clearly used up all their strength, their mouths were still opening and closing, but they couldn't make any sound. Rong Xu

didn't stop and took Lin Yan down the hillside.

Lin Yan was so angry that his head hurt: "Master, is Lushan Yang's family a very famous place?"

Are they sure that they are descendants of the Yang family, not the enemy, and deliberately smear the Yang family?

Who can emphasize the name while being aggressive?

"The Lushan Yang family was once a well-known family in the cultivation world. It gradually declined a thousand years ago and is now rarely known." Rong Xu said. Although fewer and fewer people know about it, having a name does make people more jealous and respectful than unknown casual cultivators.

Lin Yan said: "I think it is because of people like them that the family is going downhill."

"They probably want to get rid of the Yang family and ask us to give up this place for the sake of the Yang family. Logically speaking, there are corpses everywhere. What treasures can there be in such a place?"

Rong Xu stopped and said: "Shanhai Yu."

"Shanhai Yu?" Lin Yan asked: "What is that?"

[Isn't that the fragment that opens the remains of the void? How did it appear here? Rong Xu

said: "To open the Void Relics, you need the Shanhai Ding. Shanhai Yu is a fragment of the Shanhai Ding. There are three of them."

"The Void Relics?" Lin Yan did not ask again: "In that case, we must get it."

It is said that the Shanhai Ding can exorcise evil spirits, cure all diseases, and even bring people back to life, but Shanhai Yu is something that attracts evil spirits.

Lin Yan did not believe it, but perhaps someone would believe it. Even Rong Xu could not do it. How could a small Shanhai Ding bring people back to life? There are no gods in this world, but there are just a group of ordinary people who work hard to practice to save the world.

After entering the village, they saw an old man digging vegetables outside. Lin Yan went over to greet him: "Grandpa, what kind of vegetables are these? Why are they black?"

The old man didn't hear him, and his hands didn't stop moving.

Lin Yan asked again, making sure that the old man couldn't hear him, and ran back to Rong Xu: "The old man may be old and his ears are not working well."

Rong Xu noticed the old man's blue hands and ears, and turned to the other side of the yard with an open door without saying anything.

Lin Yan went over and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there? I want to ask for some saliva to drink."

Even if the door was open, it would not be polite to go in directly.

Fortunately, after he shouted, there was a quick response from inside, but there was an accent, so it was not very clear.

The person who came out was a woman who walked unsteadily. She was in her forties, with gray hair, no wrinkles on her face, and beautiful sky blue eyes.

"Are you here to work?"

Lin Yan smiled obediently: "We are passers-by. We are thirsty and want to ask for a drink of water. Can this sister give us two bowls of water? I will be very grateful."

"You two young men are too polite. Please come in." The woman smiled. At her age, she felt more and more happy when a boy who looked to be in his teens called her sister. She staggered into the house and soon brought out two bowls of light blue water.

Lin Yan hesitated. Is this water drinkable? Rong Xu

whispered: "Don't drink it."

Lin Yan pretended to take a sip: "Sister, your water is so sweet."

"Really? I'm used to it. I can't taste it." The woman didn't notice their actions: "Where are you from? There are very few strangers passing by here."

Lin Yan said: "We are from the Tang Dynasty in the East."

"Tang Dynasty? I haven't heard of it." The woman shook her head.

Lin Yan smiled: "Our place is small, it's normal that you haven't heard of it. Sister, I think this village is not big. How many people are there in total?"

The woman said: "More than 50. Although our place is small, it is still safe. It's not peaceful outside now. There are man-eating monsters everywhere."

Man-eating monsters? Are you talking about those zombies?

"Yes, I just encountered it too. It was so scary. I wonder if I can stay here for one night. It's not safe outside. We have been walking for many days and our legs are sore. We want to continue our journey tomorrow." Lin Yan took out a piece of silver from his pocket. It was given to him by his third senior brother when he went down the mountain.

Rong Xu listened to Lin Yan's serious nonsense without saying anything to stop him.

The woman saw the silver and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, the room on the west side is empty, I'll go and clean it up."

"Don't worry too much." Lin Yan said.

The woman shook her head: "No, no."

After the woman left, Rong Xu whispered: "There is corpse poison in the water."

"Corpse poison?" Lin Yan was scared: "Fortunately I didn't drink it just now."

Otherwise, his body would slowly become stiff, just like the zombies outside.

"Did they become zombies because they drank the water here?"

Rong Xu: "It's possible."

"The woman's eyes were blue and her fingers were also blue. I guess everyone here drinks this kind of water."

"Why didn't they become zombies?" Lin Yan asked. Rong Xu

said, "It should be related to Shanhaiyu."

"Master, can you guess the approximate location?" Lin Yan explained what happened just now: "I called Master "Senior Brother" because I didn't want those people to notice. There are many people in the village. For safety reasons, can I call you brother?"

Although Rong Xu is much older than him, it is not too much to call him ancestor.

"It's nearby, you can." Rong Xu lowered his eyes. Lin Yan's voice was more youthful, soft and sticky. When he called him "Senior Brother", there was a sense of coquettishness, and even more so "Brother".

Lin Yan's smile at this time was much more sincere: "Brother, what should we do now?"

Rong Xu stared at Lin Yan's smile, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched his cheek.

Lin Yan was shocked and looked at Rong Xu in disbelief: "You..."

[Someone wanted to pinch my face before, but I didn't expect to be pinched! 】

【Ahhhh】

Rong Xu said calmly: "There should be a grave nearby, let's go and have a look."

Seeing him calm as if nothing had happened, Lin Yan was in a trance. Was it just his illusion?

It must be true!

The two came out of the yard and ran into the Yang family cultivators. They didn't approach them, but just snorted at Lin Yan and Rong Xu twice, not daring to provoke them again.

They thought Rong Xu's cultivation level was at most Yuan Infant, but now it seems that he may be higher.

Lin Yan didn't give them a good look either, and bared his teeth at them, like a kitten that was pissed off.

"Brother, how do you know there is a cemetery nearby?"

Rong Xu said, "The woman said there are more than 50 people in the village. They have lived here for generations. There must be an ancestral tomb. The old man I met outside just now also has blue ears. I think that thing is not in a villager's house, or in the ancestral tomb, or in the ancestral hall."

The ancestral hall is not a place that can be easily entered. There are few people here, and the ancestral tombs are generally not guarded.

The two came down from the west slope and walked to the north first. The north is yin, and it is the most unlucky direction for a cemetery. Those who know a little about Feng Shui know that they will deliberately avoid it. A cemetery facing north often brings disasters and bad luck, causing difficulties for future generations. This village is full of weirdness, and the cemetery may be in the north.

Sure enough, after the two of them passed through the village and walked about two miles outside, they could vaguely see a large grave with stones and some blue-black fruits on it.

"Even the food is blue, how do they eat it?"

Except for blueberries and cakes, he couldn't eat any blue food. This thing is very appetite suppressant and looks unpalatable.

The two of them didn't get close, because there were a few zombies walking around in the ancestral grave. They could kill them, but not now. The most urgent thing is to find Shanhai Yu.

"Come back in the evening." Rong Xu said after observing for a while.

Lin Yan nodded: "Where are we going now?"

"I'm hungry."

"I don't want to take the fasting pill."

Lin Yan is now much bolder and dares to make requests at will, because no matter what he wants, the master will do it.

"There is no food nearby." Rong Xu said, "Let's go somewhere else."

No one was watching, Rong Xu took Lin Yan and the sword away and returned to the forest.

Lin Yan was tired of eating barbecue, so Rong Xu cooked fish soup for him and added two kinds of fairy herbs, saying that they were for nourishing the body.

"You are too weak."

Lin Yan: "What kind of weakness?"

[It's definitely not kidney weakness! ]

Rong Xu: "..."

"My physical strength is not very good."

Lin Yan whispered: "It's much better than before."

"I couldn't even run a thousand meters... two miles before."

After running, he was panting and his whole trachea was numb. Now running a thousand meters is too easy.

Just now, when they went from the village to the cemetery, he didn't even breathe.

Rong Xu said, "That's really hypocritical."

[Master, how can you speak the truth? Can you please not say it to my face?] It's

very hurtful.

Lin Yan also knew that he didn't have enough physical strength, and participating in the event was all the exercise he could do.
