"What did the old man say to you this morning?" Niu Xi asked as he pulled a donkey cart on a rugged mountain road and looked ahead.
Niu Bao went to see Niu Shun, the incarnation of Jia Zhengjin, in the morning. Of course he knew, after all, the two families were not far away and he could see them from the door.
"Xizi, he is your father after all, this title..."
"Shunzi, please stay out of our family's affairs." Niu Xi interrupted, "No matter what that damn old man said to you, don't pay attention to it."
"He didn't say anything. He just thinks you've been acting strangely lately." Jia Zhengjin replied, "Of course, he doesn't know about us obtaining treasures in the mountain maze. Don't worry, I didn't say anything about this."
"That's good!" Niu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, you father and son care about each other very much. Why can't you put down your tit-for-tat attitude and talk nicely?" Jia Zhengjin looked back at Niu Xi, "Uncle Bao asked me to advise you to change your ways and stop running around like before. You can't follow me."
A bunch of people are together. And in order to cure Uncle Bao's illness, you actually gave up a lot of money and used elixirs to help him recover. In fact, as long as everyone is more frank, they can be like a normal father and son..."
"There is no need to talk about this kind of family matter," Niu Xi said. "You don't need to decide what I want to do or who I want to associate with."
"That's not what I meant." Jia Zhengjin said hurriedly, "Everyone has his own life and his own choices. I can't interfere with your life and choices. Everything depends on you. At most, I can give you a suggestion. As for what to do,
It’s up to you.”
"You are such a serious person. If it were anyone else, I would have been too lazy to care." Niu Xi said, "But please stop talking about my family's affairs."
"Okay! It has nothing to do with me anyway." Jia Zhengjin nodded, "Let's find a way to pass the third level of the maze today. There should be more treasures, right?"
"I think so. I wonder how many levels there are in the maze?"
"No matter how many levels there are, we have to get through them." Jia Zhengjin responded, "Take out all the treasures in the maze!"
"That's for sure!"
The two of them kept walking up while talking.
On the way, Jia Zhengjin suddenly remembered what happened last night, so he turned around and asked softly: "Xizi, have you heard of any strange things in our Niulan Village? It's best to be related to ghosts."
"Is it related to ghosts? Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"I'm just curious, are there any stories about female ghosts harming people in our Niulan Village?"
"Female ghosts harm people?" Niu Xi shook his head, "I've never heard of it."
"Really? There's never been such a story?"
"That's right! How come there are so many monsters and ghosts in our poor mountain village?" Niu Xi responded calmly, "In other words, jackals, tigers and leopards are more dangerous... How come you don't even know this?"
"Hi! I rarely interact with people, don't talk much, and go up the mountain to cut firewood every day, right?" Jia Zhengjin said, "Since I was a kid, no one told me stories. Now I suddenly want to hear them...
....”
"Oh! I've heard a lot of this story, and it's also about monsters and monsters. But most of them are from the past, or from the county, county or even other countries. If you really want to hear it, I can tell you a few." Niu
He said happily.
"I just want to hear the ghost story of our Niulan Mountain, forget it!" Jia Zhengjin waved his hand.
"I really haven't heard of this. Why don't you ask Wang Xu before dinner? He is a scholar and knows a lot."
"This is also a way."
"I don't think there are any monsters or monsters in our Niulan Village's feng shui. In fact, our Niulan Village has always been very stable throughout the ages, and no such major incident has ever happened!"
Hearing what Niu Xi said, Jia Zhengjin was suddenly shocked.
In this way, the appearance of the female ghost last night was either related to his own appearance or to Chu Daya.
If she followed him, how could she bypass him and attack Chu Daya?
According to reasoning, the female ghost targeted Chu Daya, and most likely she was attracted to that little loli.
Could it be that there is nothing special about Chu Daya?
Or maybe Chu Daya was transformed by Yue Lang, right? Could it be that he arranged that female ghost?
wrong!
First of all, Yue Lang probably didn’t know that he had transformed into Niu Shun.
Secondly, since Chu Daya came here, she has only seen Niu Xi once or twice. Each time, she quickly avoided or even hid, just like when she faced other villagers. She was quite afraid of strangers.
If she was transformed into Yue Lang, she should not avoid Niu Xi, but should approach her more actively.
She shouldn't be Yue Lang's transformation. But why didn't the female ghost appear before, but suddenly appeared after Chu Daya arrived, and even almost killed Chu Daya.
No matter how much I think about it, I can't understand it. Jia Zhengjin needs to find out the truth. What happened to the female ghost last night?
But as long as it's not Yue Lang who changed it, there won't be a big problem. Any doubts will be clarified sooner or later.
While thinking about it, Niu Xi and Niu Xi continued to move towards the maze.
When I walked near a patch of dense weeds as tall as a man, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in my ears.
The two people quickly turned around to face the direction of the sound. One drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and the other raised his hatchet, making a ready-to-fight posture.
Worried that it was a ferocious beast, the two looked at each other and gripped their weapons tightly.
Jia Zhengjin moved back a little closer to the donkey cart and Niu Xi. Of course, he was not afraid, but he just needed to protect the borrowed donkey cart from damage, and he also had to keep Niu Xi, the real owner of the bet, safe and sound.
Cold sweat broke out on Niu Xi's forehead. What he was most worried about was encountering jackals, tigers and leopards in this area. After all, even the best hunters may not be able to escape unscathed when encountering wild beasts in the mountains.
Xixisusuosuo~ The sound in the grass is clearer and getting closer.
Niu Xi looked very nervous.
Jia Zhengjin was actually a little worried. If tigers and leopards came, or even wild wolves appeared, how would he deal with it?
It doesn't matter to you, you won't die at all, but the beast that bites you will be burned to ashes.
The problem cannot arise in front of Niu Xi, otherwise the bet will really be over!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was another rustling sound in the grass, and then a thin old man wearing a straw hat appeared. He bent over and lowered his head, making it difficult to see his face. Vaguely, he noticed that the little old man's clothes were not covered.
His hands and feet were indistinguishable, and they were actually hairy.
"Do you think I look like a human being?" The thin old man asked Jia Zhengjin in a very high-pitched voice.
Jia Zhengjin was stunned and couldn't react. What's going on?
Niu Xi's eyes widened, as if he remembered something, and he quickly pulled Jia Zhengjin from behind and whispered in his ear: "This can't be that one, right?"
"Which one?" Jia Zhengjin didn't understand and turned around to ask.
"Maybe it's a goblin who wants to be transformed into a demon!" Niu Xi whispered, "You have to tell him that he looks like a human being, otherwise he will be in big trouble!"
"Really?" Jia Zhengjin hesitated. He was not afraid of this, but after all, he had to consider his current identity as Niu Shun.
"Do you think I look human?" the thin old man asked again.
Niu Xi gently poked Jia Zhengjin's back with his finger: "Say it!"
Jia Zhengjin then said: "Looks like a human being!"
As he finished speaking, the skinny old man suddenly grew taller, and he could clearly see the long hair on his hands and feet, and even a tail quickly disappeared behind his butt. He found the straw hat, and the beast's head flashed past, and it instantly turned into a follower of Niu Shun, Niu Xi.
A young man of about the same age.
This man bent down to bow to Jia Zhengjin, said thank you, then turned around and disappeared into the grass in an instant. (To be continued)
