The middle-aged man's face was full of nervousness, and there was a small amount of sweat on his forehead, as if the four words "Mr. Zhao" were like a taboo name that could not be mentioned.
"Yes! I remember that Mr. Zhao lived in this village, right?" Although Mu Yu is a roadie, Xiao Fei described the appearance and geographical location of the village clearly at that time, so he felt that he could not make a mistake.
"I really don't know, I don't want to die!"
The middle-aged man seemed to have remembered something terrible, shuddered, and then ran away, even throwing away the hoe in his hand.
"Hey, you didn't even take your hoe! Why are you running? I won't eat you." Mu Yu shouted from behind strangely.
But the middle-aged man ran very fast, turned in behind a small courtyard and disappeared.
Mu Yu continued walking into the village and asked several villagers in succession, and found that their reactions were all the same as the middle-aged man just now. They were frightened and did not dare to say anything, so they ran away like a plague.
"Are these villagers too timid? Mu Yu must be because you are not handsome enough. They were scared away by you. Let me ask them." Xiaoshuai jumped on Mu Yu's shoulder and said.
"Don't make trouble. Once you open your mouth, they may look at you in surprise for a long time, so you'd better stop talking. They are different from us. It's normal to be a little scared when encountering such weird things."
Mu Yu glanced at the villagers passing by, hesitating whether to give out any money in exchange for the news, but he suspected that these villagers did not understand the meaning of the spirit stones, and he did not have any silver on him, which would be a problem.
He walked around the village house and walked to the edge of a rice field. An old man with a short beard was sitting on the edge of the field and sighed.
"Old man, why are you sighing? Is the harvest bad?" Mu Yu sat down next to the old man. He planned to get close to him first and become familiar with him, otherwise he would scare Old Mrs. Zhao away when he asked questions later.
The short-bearded old man, known as Lao Xutou, looked gloomy. He raised his head and glanced at Mu Yu and said, "Young man is very unfamiliar. Where did he come from?"
"I'm a foreigner passing here. Why did I see the old man sighing just now?" Mu Yu showed a harmless smile.
Old Xutou sighed again and said: "This year's crop growth is not optimistic. I don't know where a new type of pest came from. I can't kill it. I can only watch it destroying the crops."
Mu Yu glanced at the rice and found some pests smaller than mosquitoes lying on the rice ears. Many rice ears had already been eaten away.
"It's the Dead Leaf Demon Mosquito. This thing is really annoying. It eats everything." Xiao Shuai recognized the pest on the rice at a glance.
"You eat everything, isn't that you?" Long Teng said with a smile.
"But I'm handsome."
The Dead Leaf Demon Mosquito is a first-level monster that is very small and likes to live in groups. The best way to deal with them is to use the scent of Cordyceps flowers to drive them away. Mu Yu is very good at doing this kind of thing.
"Old man, I have a way to drive away these pests." Mu Yu said confidently.
"Young man, don't amuse the old man. We have tried everything. You don't look like a farmer at your young age. How do you know these things?" Old Xu shook his head.
Mu Yu didn't say anything, but with a touch of his hand, a Cordyceps flower appeared in his hand. He planted the Cordyceps flower at the head of the field with a smile, and then flicked his hand slightly, and the fragrance of the Cordyceps flower immediately spread out.
"Buzz!"
All the dead leaf monster mosquitoes suddenly flew up from the rice in panic and fled in all directions, avoiding the smell of the cordyceps flowers. In just a few moments, all the dead leaf monster mosquitoes ran away cleanly.
Mu Yu waved his hand, and all the gnawed rice came back to life. He clapped his hands up and down, thinking that he was really a good friend of the farmer's uncle. He could not only remove pests, but also grow crops. Where could he find such an all-powerful person?
What a handsome young man!
"This -" Old Xu opened his mouth wide in shock.
"Old man, this plant is called Cordyceps sinensis flower. If you plant it here, no dead leaf demon mosquitoes will come within a mile, so you must not pull it out." Mu Yu kindly reminded.
"Young man, how did you know - Oh my God! Thank you, young man."
Old Xu Tou was so surprised that he hurriedly ran down to check the condition of his rice. The gnawed rice had already healed before he knew it, and even grew fuller.
"Even the eaten rice ears have grown back? How could this happen?" Old Xu Tou touched the rice ears in his hand in disbelief, unable to believe what he saw.
"Oh yes, I forgot to mention it. Cordyceps flowers are natural enemies of this pest and can repair plants eaten by this pest." Mu Yu realized that he seemed to have gone too far and hurriedly said nonsense.
"Oh my god! Old man, I don't even know how to thank you." The scowl on Old Xu's face disappeared, his frown relaxed, and he seemed to look much younger.
"Old man, I have a question that I would like to ask you. If you tell me the details, consider it as repaying me." Mu Yu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, young man, if you have any questions, just ask, I won't hide it." Old Xu Tou quickly promised.
"I heard that Mr. Zhao from your village came back from the dead. What happened?" Mu Yu asked.
"Hey——"
Old Xu Tou took a breath of cold air, his face immediately turned pale with fright, and like everyone else, he ran away. But after running for two steps, he stopped again, hesitated for a long time, looked around, walked over and whispered:
"Young man, why are you asking this? You can't talk nonsense about this matter."
"Why can't you talk nonsense?" Mu Yu asked puzzledly.
Even if a person comes back from the dead and scares mortals, it's not to the point where he can't even talk about it, right?
"Anyway, you can't talk about this matter. If you say it, you will die suddenly." Old Xu Tou said with a pale face, "The big-mouthed Wang Erniang at the head of the village is a lesson learned from the past. A group of immortal masters heard about this matter a few days ago.
When I came to ask about the situation, Erniang Wang spoke quickly. Unexpectedly, she fell to the ground and died before she could say a few words. We have all been cursed by Mr. Zhao. Once we tell the story of the day, we will be taken away by him."
curse?
Mu Yu is really getting more and more curious. Can he kill himself by telling a ghost story?
"It goes without saying, can you write it down?" Mu Yu said helplessly.
Old Xu shook his head: "Old man, I am illiterate, how can I know how to write!"
Mu Yu looked at Old Xu Tou carefully, and he found that there seemed to be some strange and vague aura surrounding Old Xu Tou. His heart suddenly shuddered, and he suddenly grabbed Old Xu Tou's hand.
"Young man, what are you doing?" Old Xu Tou was frightened by Mu Yu's movements. How could a mortal like him resist Mu Yu? He couldn't break free even if he tried to struggle.
Mu Yu frowned slightly: "Someone has cast a vicious formation on you, it's strange! Who is so cruel!"
Mu Yu didn't check it carefully at first, and it wasn't until now that he noticed something was wrong.
There was a trace of gray energy that was difficult to detect in Old Xu Tou's eyes. This gray energy was very hidden. It was similar to the aura of the ghost sect, but it was not the aura of the ghost sect. It existed in the form of formations. Under certain conditions, this gray energy
It was enough to kill old Xu Tou.
"What formation, old man, I don't understand. I know we have been cursed, and we can only survive by keeping secret about this matter." Old Xu Tou said in a panic.
"Old man, do you feel that your chest is heavy these days, as if you are being pressed by a stone? Your breathing often becomes very irritable, your eyes sometimes feel sore, and when you look at things, you even find that you cannot see other colors, only gray.
." Mu Yu asked seriously.
Old Xu Tou was completely stunned: "You, how do you know? To be honest, I see you as completely black and white now."
Mu Yu touched his chin. Someone had cast a very insidious formation technique on Old Xu Tou. The gray energy on his body was the formation pattern. This formation technique was called the Lost Heart Formation. It was specially used on people. It could be used on certain people.
At this moment, the formation is activated and people are killed.
The Lost Heart Formation is recorded in the Formation Pavilion of the Formation Sect. It is classified as a forbidden technique. Because it is too vicious, disciples within the sect are generally not allowed to practice this form of formation technique.
Mu Yu has learned many forbidden techniques. Although he has never actually implemented many forbidden techniques, his judgment will never admit his mistakes.
"There is indeed a so-called curse on you. Once you say something you shouldn't say, something will happen immediately." Mu Yu let go of Lao Xu Tou's hand.
Old Xu Tou was so frightened that his face turned pale: "I just said that I can't tell you. Young man, you better not ask about this. You got rid of the rice pests for me. The old man is very grateful to you, but he really can't help you with anything."
busy."
"Old man, don't worry! I have a way to get rid of this curse." Mu Yu said solemnly.
"You, do you have a way to remove the curse? Are you an immortal master?" Old Xu Tou asked in surprise.
Mu Yu nodded, and the chaotic yin and yang energy swept out of his body instantly and covered Old Xu Tou's body. Old Xu Tou exclaimed because the chaotic yin and yang brought him into the air.
Then a series of black and white formations merged into Old Xu Tou's body. With a slight vibration, Old Xu Tou felt as if some shackles had been opened on his whole body, and the stone pressing on his heart disappeared.
.
"This, is this good?"
Old Xu's head slowly fell to the ground, he touched his chest, and rubbed his eyes. He found that the soreness in his eyes had disappeared. He was immediately happy and kowtowed to express his gratitude. He bent over and kowtowed.
Yu quickly helped him up.
"You can tell me the situation now. Don't worry, nothing will happen if you tell me this time. I promise." Mu Yu said.
Old Xu Tou hesitated for a long time. Although the strangeness that had troubled him in recent days had disappeared, he was still hesitant. After all, it was difficult to say accurately about this kind of thing.
But he took a look at the rice he planted, and touched his chest. He remembered that he had been taken into the air just now, and he knew without a doubt that Mu Yu was a powerful immortal master, so he nodded.
"Forget it, the old man risked his life. Let me just tell you. Old Man Zhao is a very old man in our village. After he died, according to the rules, all of us in the village had to go to the funeral. All of us in the village buried Old Man Zhao's body.
The coffin was taken to the Mass Burial Valley and pushed down.
We were all planning to return, but who would have thought that Old Man Zhao's coffin suddenly rose up from the bottom of the valley, and then the coffin opened automatically, and he actually stood up from the coffin, which immediately frightened us all! Everyone thought he would never die in peace.
Because he had a group of unfilial descendants, but the terrible black energy came out of Old Man Zhao, and he directly killed his three sons and all the descendants of the Zhao family. It was so terrible, all those people were gone in one fell swoop!"
Mu Yu frowned. According to Old Xu Tou's description, the way these people died was very similar to that of the Ghost Sect, but there was no aura left by the Ghost Sect in the mass burial valley, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the Ghost Sect.
"Did Mrs. Zhao say anything else?" Mu Yu continued to ask.
Old Xu calmed down and continued: "After Old Man Zhao killed his descendants, he laughed loudly. The laughter was very terrifying, like grinding teeth. He then told us that the seal is now——"
Old Xu suddenly covered his mouth with his head. At the same time, his eyes were wide open, looking extremely frightened. The veins on his face were protruding, and his whole body was stretched straight!
Mu Yu's heart skipped a beat, what's going on? Could it be that the heart-losing formation has not been completely lifted?
