Chapter 2: Baiyou-level village! The ghost scholar had a feeling after looking inside the house...
After looking around the house, the ghost scholar had an idea of what was going on. He walked to the door and pulled it from the outside to the inside. Suddenly, the view in front of him became clear, and then a large area of dark yellow came into view.
Immediately following was a wave of enthusiasm.
The temperature is abnormally high.
The ghost scholar subconsciously frowned and took a closer look. He saw that they should be in an ancient village. The village was very simple, and most of the houses were thatched houses. They were gray. The ghost scholar could even see that the thatch on the roof opposite was so dry that it broke in two with a slight breeze and fell to the ground.
The whole village gives people an uncomfortable feeling of dimness and darkness.
"..." The ghost scholar stretched his hand out of the thatched hut, and felt a scorching heat. The ghost scholar frowned even more tightly.
This world is just as the playful person said, it makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Very dangerous.
The ghost scholar paused and walked out of the house again. He stepped on the spacious flat ground in front of the door. The yellow mud on the ground was very crisp and turned into dust with a light touch of his feet.
The ghost scholar’s first reaction was lack of water.
Not quite sure.
The ghost scholar raised his head and looked around, taking in everything. There were almost no people in the village, and the village was not very big. Perhaps it was because the ghost scholar was standing in a good position, as he could see the village entrance at a glance. The yellow outside the village was even more serious, and further away there were large patches of yellow, which should be food.
The ghost scholar confirmed his current location in his heart, and his instinct made him habitually collect information clues. This was his duty as the military advisor of the trio, and he absolutely could not bring his brothers into a desperate situation.
"Hmm?" The ghost scholar was just about to look away when suddenly his eyes fell on a significantly taller building in the center of the village. It was a wooden house, a sticky dark red color, and there seemed to be some patterns on the door. The ghost scholar couldn't help but make a puzzled sound. Judging from the building, it should be the ancestral hall in the village.
Just now, he felt a very strong and unquestionable force spreading from the ancestral hall to the entire village. It was a little dark, but also full of vitality, as if it was protecting the village. The ghost scholar could clearly sense that the inside and outside of the village were absolutely different.
This ancestral hall wards off some unclean things.
interesting!
This was the ghost scholar's first reaction, and his next reaction was to ask the Taoist priest to come and take a look, as he was very experienced in things related to vitality.
The next second, Ye Lu in the room spoke.
"Ah ghost, come in."
With just a few simple words, the ghost scholar raised his eyebrows, turned around without hesitation, and closed the door when he entered the house. The simple and rough wooden door made a sound of being unable to bear the weight.
Ye Lu was still sitting on the bed, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"What's wrong?" The ghost scholar returned to his original position, sat down again, and asked.
"I have some extra information about this world in my memory."
"First of all, this world is really a strange world as we guessed." Ye Lu had a blank expression on his face. He slowly spoke out the clues he had sorted out from his memory and said, "There are strange things, ghosts, and strange plants. Strange plants are something we have never encountered before. They only exist in this world."
"It is similar to the spiritual plants we have seen on the Star Network before."
The ghost scholar had a serious expression at first, but when he heard this, his pupils slowly dilated and he looked very surprised. He must have heard it right, the spiritual plants, those extremely expensive spiritual plants on the Star Internet, the reason why they could survive when they were insignificant was because they relied on selling the leaves of the mountain vine, the companion spiritual plant of his master. That poisonous plant was the real cash cow.
This is the case when Chongshan refuses to bear fruit.
The ghost scholar recalled in his mind all the magical effects of the spiritual plants he had seen and their price tags that made people weak in the knees.
As if Ye Lu didn't think this surprise was big enough, he added: "The village we are in now is called He Village, which is also a Baiyou-level village. The reason is that there is a Huangyuan-level weird plant in this village - Qing Mizi!"
"Oh, by the way, the classification of strange plants in this world is also very strange. At present, there are five levels in my memory, namely Baiyou, Huangli, Qingyou, Xueyuan, and Heigui. They are in line with the levels of the strange world, right?" After Ye Lu finished speaking, he was still in the mood to joke.
"Can you be more specific?" After the initial nervousness, the ghost scholar quickly realized the specialness of this world, especially the strange plants. He had more ideas, and he couldn't help but ask more questions, and his eyes even revealed a hint of expectation.
Ye Lu shook his head, breaking the ghost scholar's expectations. He said, "In this world, I am still called Ye Lu, and my body is still my original body. You can tell from the name of the village, He Village. This is a village named after a surname. People with the surname He make up the vast majority of the village."
"I am the child of a married woman from He Village. She married a sorcerer from a village called Xiaoye, far to the west. Sorcerers have a very high status in this world, similar to the monks we have seen. This is why a girl from a Baiyou-level village would marry so far away. The girl's family has a very high status in this village, and Xiaoye Village is just an ordinary village."
"The reason why we came to He Village is because Xiaoye Village encountered a strange attack. Xiaoye Village was hit hard. Although there were strange warriors who passed by and took action, Xiaoye Village was still hit hard. The population was greatly damaged and had to be merged into other villages. Ye Lu was brought back by the elders of He Village because of his bloodline."
"Although he has always known that there are strange plants in the village, he is still young after all, and the adults are quite shy about talking to children. He just knows about it, but he doesn't know anything more specific."
"You are the injured person I picked up on the way to Qiang City." Ye Lu told the origin of the ghost scholar.
After finishing speaking, Ye Lu turned his gaze to Xi Mingren and began to tell his origins: "I know Ah Xi, he is also from Xiaoye Village, but he was a little mentally retarded when he was young. I went to Qiang City and saw you at the edge of the city. I didn't know whether you were alive or dead, so I brought you back. I haven't told anyone yet, and you have been recovering in the house."
"..." Because of his identity, the ghost scholar was silent for a while.
Never mind. He had already accepted that he was born with bad luck.
After a while, the ghost scholar finally broke the silence and said, "Should I thank StarNet for giving us an identity?"
The main reason is that except for Ye Lu, the identities of the other two are too weird. It seems that Ye Lu is not lucky this time. He turns out to be the son of a married woman from a feudal, conservative and weird village. The ghost scholar knows this kind of village too well. It is very likely that they will be xenophobic. It is lucky for the son of a married woman to survive.
Generally speaking, all three of them had bad cards in their hands, and his was the worst. The playboy at least had a background, but he had nothing.
This is also the reason why Ye Lu frowned. It was the first time he encountered such a troublesome identity.
The three of them were discussing in a low voice, mainly the ghost scholar and Ye Lu, and Ximing people were listening quietly.
"......!" The playful man suddenly turned his head and looked outside the door with a vigilant look, as if he was watching something.
The conversation was interrupted by the sudden action of the playboy, and both of them looked outside the door.
The wooden door was very simple, just a few pieces of wood. There was a large gap in the middle, and a skinny and slightly bent figure could be clearly seen.
Before the three people in the room could speak, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Ye Lu spoke first.
"Lu boy, it's me!" An old voice that Ye Lu was very familiar with sounded, and he almost immediately matched it with a figure in his memory. He subconsciously said: "Third uncle?"
"It's me." The old voice paused, then spoke slowly and calmly.
This habit was also that of his third great uncle. Ye Lu completely confirmed the identity of the old man outside the door. Because his third great uncle had been attacked mysteriously in his early years, his health was a little poor, and he would always pause when speaking. Ye Lu got out of bed, went to the door of the house, and opened it.
Standing outside the door was a skinny, white-haired old man. Due to years of hard work, his skin was very dark and had many wrinkles. But the most eye-catching thing was his eyes, which looked calm and gentle. He held a cane in his hand, neither hurried nor slow. Ye Lu subconsciously looked behind his third uncle, but there was no one there.
"Where is Seventh Uncle?" Ye Lu asked with a frown, wondering why Third Uncle was allowed to come out alone.
Uncle He San shook his head. He saw Ye Lu's action and smiled slightly. Then, the smile quickly faded away. He said, "I asked him to go to the fields to have a look."
"The weather is bad this year."
Ye Lu also frowned. This was the first time that Uncle He San said so seriously that the weather was bad. As far as he could remember, He Cun had encountered difficulties before, but the adults had never talked to him about it.
Uncle He San seemed to just say this simply, and then his gaze naturally fell on the ghost scholar and the playboy in the house. Both of them were wearing clothes representing their respective identities. The scholar's robe on the ghost scholar was already tattered and the original blue color could not be seen, and the playboy was dressed like a beggar.
"Are you the people that Lu Wazi brought back this time?" Uncle He San looked at the two people calmly.
The Ghost Scholar and the Hilarious Man were both experienced veterans. They reacted immediately when being stared at and were extremely alert, especially the Ghost Scholar, whose reaction was even greater.
The aura of the old man opposite was not that strong. Even though the ghost scholar had no spiritual power now and could not summon any weapons, his previous experience was still there. He could see that the old man's cultivation was not high. However, that calm gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made the ghost scholar couldn't help but feel alert.
However, what surprised the ghost scholar even more was that he did not feel too disgusted with the old man. In the past, anyone who looked at him like that would have been doomed to die.
It may also be that the old man’s eyes are very gentle, without scrutiny or aggression, as if he is looking at you very calmly.
It's easy to relax.
The ghost scholar knew that the old man was watching him to see if he posed any threat. After all, his own child suddenly brought back an unknown person from outside, and as an elder, he would naturally be worried.
"Exactly!"
The ghost scholar tried his best to look back at the other person and answered calmly. He didn't know the situation in this village so it would be better for him to be honest.
"Are you a scholar?" Uncle He San suddenly asked again.
