Chapter 584: The Treacherous Event in the Mountain Village (Part 1)
At this time, it had been more than half a month since Jiang Chen left Changqiu City, and the Lunar New Year had just passed.
After leaving Changqiu City that day, Jiang Chen's figure repeatedly appeared among the beautiful mountains and rivers in the south. It was a lot of hard work to walk through mountains and rivers all day long, but there were definitely rewards.
In a slightly remote mountain village, children set off firecrackers from time to time, making bursts of "cracking" sounds. The bright red couplets posted on the doors of rows of mud houses also represent that the festive festival has just passed.
At this moment, two figures happened to appear on the dirt road at the entrance of this small mountain village. One of them was Jiang Chen, who looked a little tired from work, and beside him was a middle-aged man who was plainly dressed and looked honest.
While the two were talking, Jiang Chen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the contact name displayed on the phone and immediately answered the call with a face full of joy.
"Lao San, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
This call was from Li Wen. Because the two had not contacted each other for a while, Jiang Chen's tone seemed very excited after the call was answered. However, after what Li Wen said on the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen
His expression instantly became serious.
"Okay, I understand. You must also pay more attention to safety!"
After Jiang Chen warned Li Wen on the phone, he hung up the phone and then reached out to caress his chest, where he wore the few copper coins.
Jiang Chen caressed his chest and murmured softly to himself: "Several tombs of high-level warlocks appeared in Jiang'an City one after another? Moreover, a large sect in the metaphysics world found an ancient copper coin that was suspected to be a treasure... and several young warlocks.
I gained something and gained insights from the ancient tomb, and successfully promoted to the earth level???"
"Other copper coins appeared so soon? It's just that if the copper coins fall to other sects, it will be a bit difficult." Jiang Chen sighed secretly, and then said with emotion, "I have been wading through mountains and rivers all day long in order to advance to the earth level.
, but others were successfully promoted just by going to the tomb. This is really infuriating!"
Although Jiang Chen said this, there was no trace of frustration or jealousy in his heart, and there was even an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Jiang'an City is not far from here. It seems like I should go there for a walk after things happen here."
Jiang Chen had planned to end the "hiking" before, and Li Wen's phone call made him completely determined.
"Xiao Chen? What are you muttering about?" The middle-aged man next to him suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiang Chen's random thoughts.
This middle-aged man is a villager in this small mountain village, his name is Liu Yulong. He almost fell from the mountain a few days ago but was rescued by Jiang Chen who was surveying Feng Shui nearby. This is how the two got acquainted.
Jiang Chen came back from his thoughts and immediately said to Liu Yulong with a smile: "Nothing, I mean, uncle, the scenery here is pretty good?!"
Liu Yulong immediately smiled heartily and said: "Hahaha~ I just said that you little kids in the city are different from us. We are tired of seeing this broken mountain every day, but you say the scenery is good?"
"Also, we all make it a point to go home and reunite with our families during the Chinese New Year, but it turns out that you are such a kid, and you still run into the mountains during the Chinese New Year. If I hadn't run into you again today, I would have thought you had gone back."
Jiang Chen immediately smiled and said: "Uncle, don't you know that we young people are very playful?!"
Then he changed the subject and asked: "Uncle, how do you think about what I just told you?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yulong's honest face immediately showed a look of embarrassment. He said with some hesitation: "Xiaochen, it's not that I don't want you to live in our house, that... oh,
It’s really a bit inconvenient.”
Jiang Chen persisted and said: "Uncle, I can give you money."
Jiang Chen's words seemed to have insulted this loyal man. He scratched his neck and said: "Xiao Chen, do you think I want to take your money? You see, I, Old Liu, seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for money and unjust.
Are you a poor person? I, Liu Qiong, am a bit poor, but I am also poor and have a backbone."
At this point, Liu Yulong suddenly said a little discouraged: "Actually, I don't let you live in my house for your own good. Alas, let me tell you directly, my house is haunted!"
"Uncle, I wrongly blamed you just now. Don't be the same as me." After hearing what he wanted to hear, Jiang Chen directly apologized to Liu Yulong, and then asked curiously, "Uncle, you said it was haunted."
What's going on?"
Liu Yulong's face darkened for a moment. He sighed and said, "You already know about my daughter's death, but I didn't tell you what happened next."
Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this. They had already discussed this matter when they first met.
"Uncle, did something happen again later?"
Liu Yulong nodded and said: "After my daughter passed away, we asked a master to find a cemetery with good Feng Shui for my daughter and bury her. However, shortly after my daughter was buried, strange things happened one after another."
“The earthen house in my house has four rooms in total. Originally, my wife and I had a room, my daughter had a room by herself, and my two sons had a room.
My daughter's room was vacant after her death. However, shortly after her death, there would be strange noises coming from her room every night.
We didn't pay much attention to it at first, but it happened like this for a long time and we couldn't take it seriously.
One night after that, I hid in that room to see where the sound was coming from. That night, the strange sound came out again. The sound was like someone screaming.
But I tried hard to find the source of the sound but never succeeded.
Then there was an inexplicable wave of cold air in that room, and that feeling really sent chills down my spine.”
At this point, Liu Yulong scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "In the end, I ran away because I was too scared."
Jiang Chen asked: "What happened next?"
“The strange phenomenon in that room has not disappeared, and the phenomenon has become more and more serious. Later, there were even sounds of knocking on the window in the room.
During that period, I invited people from the same village to stay with me in that room, but in the end we found nothing and were all scared away.
