But this is just superstition after all. So many people have been buried here, but no one has ever really become rich.
The trees on the back mountain are tall and dense. Even during the day, it looks eerie and scary, not to mention at night. Walking in is almost like entering a maze.
It looks very weird!
Whoosh~
In the dark forest at night, strange wind sounds could be heard from time to time, sometimes far away, sometimes near, very creepy!
Qiao Yuan walked alone in this unusually tall forest. Under the cover of night... the roots of the old trees were intertwined like the intertwined arms of ghosts.
There are graves of all sizes scattered around, some of which are covered with weeds and no longer look like graves.
Qiao Yuan slowed down to avoid stepping on an unknown grave, because it might be a relative of his previous life.
Finally... he arrived at his destination.
The only hunter family living in the mountains.
Almost as soon as I got close, the lights went out.
…
Boom boom boom~
"Is anyone there?"
After hesitating for a moment, Qiao Yuan spoke.
"Uncle Jie, it's me, Qiao Yuan... the family at the foot of the mountain, my dad is Qiao Feng."
Regarding the scores for solving supernatural incidents, the people in Qiaojia Village are more or less related to the previous incarnation, so it is best not to do things like kicking the door in and putting a knife to the other person's neck.
After all, Qiao Yuan is the only college student from Qiaojia Village.
You must have quality!
After hearing Qiao Yuan's voice, there was a response in the house, followed by the sound of footsteps and matches striking...Through the window, there was finally a faint light in the house.
Crunch~
The wooden door was opened.
A disheveled head popped out, his face full of wrinkles and dark spots, his expression very ugly, his eyes filled with bloodshot, and he looked very decadent.
"Who do you say you are?" A hoarse and dry voice came out of the man's mouth.
"It's me, Qiao Yuan!"
As usual, there is no better way to prove your identity than with an ID card.
The man looked at her twice, his bloodshot eyes rolling around.
"You really are?"
Qiao Yuan nodded and was about to enter.
Bang!
The man closed the door violently.
…
"I don't know any Qiao Yuan. Go back now and get as far away as you can!"
Qiao Yuan: "..."
"Uncle Jie, it's the middle of the night and my house is on fire. I have nowhere to stay. Can you stay here for one night?"
"Get out, leave the village now!" The man in the house had a trembling voice.
…
boom!
A loud thunder sounded, and suddenly lightning flashed one after another.
Drops of rain as big as beans hit the roof of the wooden house.
The rain suddenly became heavier, and torrential rain came without warning, with deafening thunder one after another.
It’s raining heavily!
The road they came from was constantly washed away by heavy rain, and it was extremely dangerous to walk at this time. Just when Qiao Yuan was thinking of other ways... the wooden door was opened again.
"Come in!" came the man's tired voice.
Qiao Yuan nodded. The rain came at the perfect time.
Because of the structure of the wooden house, it seemed a bit damp and moldy inside.
"How long...did you come back?"
"Just arrived this afternoon."
Uncle Jie bent over and came to the side, boiled a pot of hot water and handed it to Qiao Yuan.
"I haven't seen you for several years. I didn't expect you to have grown so big."
After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
…
"When the rain subsides, leave here as soon as possible!" Uncle Jie's tone was full of hesitation.
"Uncle Jie, that's exactly why I came here!"
"What happened to the village? Why did all the villagers disappear..."
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the faces of the two people.
Qiao Yuan looked indifferent, while Uncle Jie had a sad expression, his eyes revealing deep pain and sadness.
"It's not good to know too much about this matter. You'd better leave here as soon as possible!" Uncle Jie bit his lip and still refused to reveal anything.
…
"The temperature of freshly boiled water is usually 100 degrees Celsius, while the temperature that a normal person's mouth can withstand is below 60 degrees Celsius."
"Uncle Jie, watch carefully!"
Gurgle gurgle~
In one breath, Qiao Yuan poured out a pot of boiling water!
With Qiao Yuan's current physical condition, drinking a lot of water is not a problem at all.
"You...what are you doing..." Uncle Jie was extremely surprised.
Separate ~
Qiao Yuan burped a steamy burp.
…
"Uncle Jie, to be honest, I left the village when I was young and went to Mount Zhongnan to learn skills and honed my skills!"
Uncle Jie: “What????”
"If you cut off a head, it will grow back. If you take a bath in boiling oil, it will be like taking a bath. If you dig out a heart and gut, it will grow back whole."
Uncle Jie: “????”
"Except for these things that the teacher doesn't teach me, I know everything else!" Qiao Yuan said affirmatively.
For someone like Uncle Jie who has hardly ever left the mountains, it is much easier to accept that he is learning skills than that he is an awakened person.
Poor mountain villages are full of superstitions and most people have little education!
The only person who is considered educated is the village chief who is a high school student. He is second only to Qiao Yuan, a college student, in the entire village.
Uncle Jie was silent, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Qiao Yuan, you... have you been deceived?"
"There is no Taoism or immortal arts in this world... Those are all awakened ones... Sigh... Take this money and leave here quickly."
Qiao Yuan: "..."
…
It seems that I made a mistake. I didn’t expect that Uncle Jie also knew about the awakened ones.
Well, let’s get to the showdown!
"Uncle Jie, to be honest, I am an Awakener, a very powerful one!"
Uncle Jie asked doubtfully: "How strong is it?"
Qiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Generally, awakened people are at the tongue position, but I am at the tip of the nose!"
"That seems about right?"
"But the tongue can never lick the tip of the nose!" Qiao Yuan said confidently.
Looking at the confident and childish face, Uncle Jie sighed deeply.
Qiao Yuan must be sick!
