Poverty

Chapter 775 Traces!Rain!The main thing is not to leave a name!The old man in white!Jinshui Town!
Li Yanchu looked at Shi Xiaoman's slightly childish face and thought to himself:
"This is what I looked like when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. In my previous life, I was still a junior high school student.

Unexpectedly, the kernel is actually an old aunt in her 40s. "

Suddenly something moved in his mind, thinking that the old ghost he met last time said that Gaobu Village also disappeared 30 years ago.
I don't know if this Shi Xiaoman has anything to do with the disappearance of Gaobu Village...

Li Yanchu took Shi Xiaoman to search in Shijiabao.

Wanted to see if I could find something special.

Many traces of the old village, which has been abandoned for 20 years, have disappeared.

Li Yanchu asked casually: "What do you usually do here?"

He was a little curious,
Shi Xiaoman regained his cultivation after taking the psychic liquid, and he is also a ghost with some Taoism.

Although it still doesn't pose much of a threat in his eyes,
But judging from her experience, she is also a gifted ghost.

Many fierce ghosts grow up relatively quickly.

But he has no sense at all and uses killing and devouring other ghosts to level up.
The resentment on his body is so heavy that it cannot be resolved.

But Shi Xiaoman is a good ghost who is harmless to humans and animals, and he seems to have a simple mind.

Although the actual age is already over 40 years old......

"I usually just wander around, wander around, and go to some villages to watch other people's excitement."

No wonder you are so familiar with Luohun Mountain... Li Yan nodded: "So, you are very familiar with this area?"

Shi Xiaoman nodded: "Yes, I'm very familiar with them. I know basically all the villages nearby, large and small, but some villages have suppressing devices and I dare not enter them."

Li Yanchu nodded slightly.

Many villages or under bridges will have ballast devices.

For example, the iron sword hanging under the bridge is a suppressing weapon, used to suppress evil water ghosts.

Or some villages are built directly according to the Feng Shui pattern, which can ward off evil spirits.
Therefore, the population is prosperous and the weather is smooth.

Li Yanchu found no traces of fighting in Shijiabao.

There are no traces of earthquakes.

At first, either because of the plague or for some other reason, the whole village moved.

"You are so familiar with this area, do you understand why there are strange diseases in Jinshui Town?" Li Yanchu asked.

Outbreaks of strange illnesses are not uncommon.

Li Yanchu asked this question because he wanted to know if Shi Xiaoman knew whether there was something evil about it.

Shi Xiaoman shook his head.

Li Yanchu nodded and prepared to continue exploring Shijiabao.

You can't expect a female ghost to know everything.

"I've never heard of Jinshui Town."

Li Yanchu stopped and turned his head sharply to stare at Shi Xiaoman: "You haven't heard of it?"

Shi Xiaoman nodded: "Yes, when I heard what Miss Jiang Lin said, I was still a little confused."

Li Yanchu frowned slightly.

Jiang Lin clearly meant that the location of Shijiabao mentioned by Shi Xiaoman was not far from Jinshui Town.

"If you think about it carefully, have you never heard of this town?" Li Yanchu asked.

Shi Xiaoman thought about it seriously and whispered: "Really not."

Li Yanchu frowned,
Shi Xiaoman had even heard of such a weird place as Luohun Mountain.
There’s no reason why I haven’t heard of Jinshui Town…

This guy obviously likes to join in the fun.
I have the gossip gene in my bones.

Otherwise, where did I hear so many rumors about Luohun Mountain? It must have been from the corner of the wall.

Li Yanchu didn't find any useful information in Shijiabao.

He thought for a moment, and his consciousness was instantly released, covering dozens of miles.

There are two villages dozens of miles away, where many people gather.

When Li Yanchu started talking to Shi Xiaoman, Shi Xiaoman nodded.

"The one to the east is called Niujia Village, and the one to the south is called Wangjia Village. These two villages often fight over water wells. Hundreds of people fight together, which is very lively."

This kind of thing can be said to have been common in ancient times.

Li Yanchu nodded.

In fact, this place is not densely populated, with only two villages tens of miles away.

He thought for a moment and asked Shi Xiaoman to get into the oil-paper umbrella.
He used the Earth Escape Technique to go out and soon found Niujia Village.

After asking around, I found out that this place is indeed called Niujia Village.
And the relationship with Wangjia Village in the south is indeed tense, which is consistent with the information Shi Xiaoman said.

At least it proves this,
Shi Xiaoman did not lie.

In other words, there was nothing wrong with her memory.

The two villages often fight over water wells.

"Those bastards in Wangjia Village have been suffering from drought for days recently, and the crops are almost dying. They won't let us use the well! We all have to fight with them today, otherwise they will take away the well!"

The person talking to Li Yanchu was a black-faced elder brother.

The eldest brother gets angry when he talks about Wangjiacun.

The two villages are not far apart and share a well. They are going to have another fight today over watering the fields.

In ancient times, if it didn't rain, the land would be dry, and water sources would be in short supply. People would starve to death in many cases. This was also the beginning of turmoil.

Li Yanchu can actually achieve rainfall in a small area.

He has a water repellent charm on him,
Although the water-proofing talisman is called water-proofing, it can actually control the aura of water to cause a heavy rain, and irrigating crops will not be a problem.

It's just that Li Yanchu didn't stop this eldest brother and confirm with him.

What matters is that one does good deeds without leaving a name.

He took out the water talisman,

Promote the aura in the talisman,
Suddenly dark clouds rolled in the sky and heavy rain fell.

The elder brother who had just spoken to him had just returned home and was going to fight with a hoe.

Suddenly it started raining heavily.

"..." Big brother.

A heavy rain came quickly and fell very hard.

The villagers in Niujia Village were overjoyed and used pots, pans and large vats to collect water.
This water is much cleaner than ordinary rainwater, and you will never get sick if you drink it.

At this point, the crops in Niujia Village can be saved.

"God open your eyes!"

"It's finally raining!"

The people fell to their knees in excitement.

What they want is actually not much, just three meals a day.

The elder brother who was asked for directions by Li Yanchu just now seemed to have thought of something.
Picking up the hoe in his hand, he ran out quickly.
I want to look for that young Taoist priest.

But after searching the whole village, there were no young Taoist priests at all.
He really thought it was a god descending to earth and sending down a sweet rain.

Li Yanchu rushed to Wangjiacun after the rain.

After questioning and confirming the information, it is indeed the same as what Shi Xiaoman said.
And they both have one thing in common, they have never heard of Jinshui Town nearby.

Shi Xiaoman didn't know there was any excusable reason.
But the nearby villagers didn't know, which made Li Yanchu feel a little strange.

"Is it because Jiang Lin is a road addict? Did she hear the wrong road?"

Li Yanchu's eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

The people in Wangjia Village are also suffering from drought and are also preparing to go to war.
Li Yanchu followed the same method and sent down a sweet rain, resolving the crisis.

Do good deeds without leaving your name.

.........

Jinshui Town.

A tall woman wearing black clothes came to the town.
Her face was pale,

It's not because of the injury, but because of the excessive consumption of mana in the body.
What she cast was a kind of wood magic.
It flies when it encounters grass.

At present, she has only practiced to the first stage. When she reaches the second stage, she will be able to fly on the trees...

Although it has high limitations, it can explode at amazing speeds in certain special environments.

For example, deep mountains and old forests,

Such as the endless prairie.

Of course, if you were in the desert, this spell would be useless.

Jiang Lin came to Jinshui Town, looked at the sparsely populated streets, and sighed slightly.

Just thinking of the package behind him, a smile appeared on his face.

Jiuyoucao was found with the help of Daozhang Li,
Then you can make Bailing Dan, and the problem in Jinshui Town can be solved.

She came to a big house,
This big house is the most magnificent house in Jinshui Town.
Three in and three out is the pattern of ordinary wealthy families.

There was a white-haired old man in simple clothes in the main hall, making medicine.

The old man looked like a fairy. He was wearing a pair of cloth shoes and a bamboo box beside him.

The old man's hands are slender and steady, his eyes are calm,

"Doctor Yang, I found the Nine Nether Grass!"

Jiang Lin said excitedly.

The white-haired old man raised his head suddenly and looked at Jiang Lin: "What? Have you found the Nine Nether Grass?"

Jiang Lin nodded and took off the Nine Nether Grass from the bag.
"Fortunately, I met a Taoist priest, so I found Jiuyou Grass."

The white-haired old man's breathing was rapid, and his steps suddenly became brisk. He came to the pile of baggage and took it.

After opening it, I found a bunch of exotic herbs, exuding a special smell.

"Nine Nether Grass! It's really Nine Nether Grass! It's great!"

A flash of fanaticism flashed in the white-haired old man's eyes.

A mature and beautiful woman came out of the back hall and smiled happily: "Miss Jiang did a good job. I have long seen that you have deep blessings and can do this!"

"Actually, I would never be able to obtain the Nine Nether Grass alone. It was only after I met a Taoist priest that he helped me obtain the Nine Nether Grass."

Jiang Lin laughed.

"Taoist?" The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, the temperament here is outstanding, the style is extraordinary, and the Taoism is profound. Without him, I would probably die in Luohun Mountain."

When Jiang Lin mentioned this, her beautiful eyes flashed.

The old man in white was overjoyed when he saw the Nine Nether Grass.

This beautiful woman is equally happy,
Just after hearing Taoist Li's description, he started chatting with Jiang Lin.This beautiful woman seems to have a natural sense of intimacy. She has not known Jiang Lin for a long time, but she seems to have known her for many years.

The old man is the expert who Jiang Lin said said that Jiuyou Grass can be used to refine Bailing Pill.

Yang Baichuan,
A master of medicine,

Walking in the mountains and fields all year round to collect medicine and refine medicine.
It was also he who took action to curb the strange disease among the people of Jinshui Town.

As a result, no one in Jinshui Town died.

The beautiful woman seemed to want to ask Jiang Lin something, but there was a force in the dark that made her mind fall on Jiuyou Grass again.
"Let's not think about these things for now. Mr. Yang should refine the Bailing Pill first and help the villagers!"

The beautiful woman said.

The old man in white nodded and walked into the inner hall with the Nine Nether Grass.

The beautiful woman glanced at Jiang Lin lightly,
"Miss Jiang, you are a little tired too. Go and take a rest first. Thank you for your hard work."

Her eyes were concerned and her words were gentle, exuding a convincing power.

Jiang Lin did feel a sense of exhaustion covering herself, so she turned and went to rest in the room.

There are no people in Jinshui Town, the streets are deserted, and there is no life at all.

Outside the mansion, it was quiet, without a sound.

As meal time approaches, there is no smoke rising from every house.

The whole town was as peaceful as a painting,

Not a trace of smoke.

Jiang Lin took a nap and felt like she had slept for a long time.

When I came out and took a look, I found that it was already dark.

She stood up slowly and smelled a fragrance that was refreshing.

"Could it be that Bai Ling Dan was made by practicing it?"

Jiang Lin felt happy,
I was going to go to the front hall to take a look and ask Mr. Yang,
But Mr. Yang was not in the front hall.

There are no lights in the entire front hall.
It was dark, quiet, and silent.

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything to disturb him, for fear of disturbing Mr. Yang's alchemy practice.

She saw that there seemed to be a little light coming out of the room, dimly,

I planned to step forward and take a look.

Suddenly!

A pale human face appeared in the aisle holding a lantern!
Jiang Lin was startled, startled, and took a step back suddenly!
After taking a closer look, I realized it was the beautiful woman.

"Mrs. Feng, it's you! You scared me!" Jiang Lin forced a smile.

The candlelight in this white lantern is a bit dim,

It shines on the beautiful woman's face, which is uncertain.

The beautiful woman smiled lightly: "Miss Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Lin said softly: "I woke up just now and found that it was getting late, so I wanted to come over and see if the Bailing Pill was completed."

"Miss Jiang is interested, come with me." The beautiful woman smiled and said
Holding the lantern, he led Jiang Lin inside.

Only then did Jiang Lin notice that her lantern was extremely strange and had a faint fragrance.

However, Jiang Lin did not ask.
Follow the beautiful woman and walk inside.

The beautiful woman has a plump figure,

If a man walks behind her, he will definitely be attracted by her plump and round buttocks.

Jiang Lin is a woman and has no such thoughts.
She just felt a little depressed for no reason,

It was quiet all around, not a sound,
Except for the lantern in the beautiful woman's hand and the light in the distance, there was no light anywhere else.

The whole Jinshui was calm and quiet, and there was a dead silence.

"I wonder if the strange disease will be cured immediately after taking the Bailing Pill?"

Jiang Lin thought in her heart.

But after walking for a while, Jiang Lin realized something was wrong.

The front hall was not far from the back hall, but they had already walked a long way.

"Mrs. Feng, where are you going? Haven't you reached the back hall yet?"

Jiang Lin asked.

A bad premonition rose in her heart.

Mrs. Feng turned around, and the dim light of the lantern shone on her face.

Her face was a little serious: "I also found out that something is wrong, it should have been in the back hall long ago."

Jiang Lin instantly felt a chill creeping up from her back to the back of her head.
"Ghost hitting the wall?"

Jiang Lin seemed to wake up, and said coldly,
His hands crossed his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.

But the surroundings were still dark, no different from before.
Terribly quiet.

Jiang Lin's heart sank, and she took out the Taiping Art from her arms.
But there seemed to be an invisible hand in the darkness, suddenly dragging her in!
"what!"

Jiang Lin screamed, and her whole body was instantly swallowed by darkness.

Mrs. Feng was left standing alone holding a white paper lantern.

Mrs. Feng looked extremely panicked and her beauty turned pale.

The chest rises and falls violently,
But gradually, her panicked expression disappeared.
A smile slowly appeared on his face,
"Oh, since you went out, why do you want to come back?"

She turned around with the lantern in her hand and walked on,
The darkness on both sides seemed to recede like a tide,

The figure of the beautiful woman gradually disappeared.

Two points of light disappeared, and the entire Jinshui Town fell into a huge darkness.

A dead silence.

Cold, quiet, like a huge tomb.

.........

Li Yanchu opened up his consciousness and searched for a radius of hundreds of miles around Shijiabao, but he didn't find Jinshui Town.
I haven’t heard any news about Jinshui Town from these villagers.

Even the female ghost Shi Xiaoman on the side was a little surprised by this.

"I thought it was a place I've never been to. How come I don't know about Jinshui Town?"

Shi Xiaoman said doubtfully.

Li Yanchu was silent.

"At that time, after Jiang Lin heard you tell me the location of Shijiabao, she said that it was nearby, so it must not be far away."

"Go back and have a look."

Li Yanchu said in a deep voice.

Naturally, Shi Xiaoman had no objection.

It was already dark by now,

Night came,

There was a chill in the deep Shijiabao.

After Li Yanchu returned to Shijiabao,
Shi Xiaoman looked happy,

No matter how shabby this place is, it is still her home.

Although there is no one she is familiar with anymore...

After Li Yanchu came to Shijiabao, he suddenly felt a strong wind,

clang!
Between the heaven and the earth, Hong Zhong Da Lu resounded,
A layer of protective aura appeared in front of Li Yanchu.
He collided with the black shadow.

Li Yanchu's eyes turned cold and he was about to punch him!

"Master Taoist, don't do anything, I am Xiaotie!"

A somewhat familiar voice came,

Xiao Tie... Li Yanchu frowned, which of his enemies was called Xiao Tie?

There is no moonlight today,

Therefore, the entire Shijiabao was dark.

Golden light emerged from his hand, instantly illuminating the dark shadow in front of him.

It's a big bear in black and white.

The expression is flattering, enthusiastic, excited, and very complex.

It's really rare for a bear's face to have so many expressions.

"Iron-eating beast?"

Li Yanchu was taken aback for a moment.

"Daozhang Li, I've been waiting for you!"

The iron-eating beast said excitedly.

"Why are you here?" Li Yanchu frowned.

"Isn't this a coincidence? I was bored in the mountains, so I wanted to take a walk. Alas! I met the Taoist priest. We are really destined."

The iron-eating beast laughed.

"Just now you said that you finally waited for me..." Li Yanchu said.

The iron-eating beast smiled and said: "Taoist Master, have you found any clues in this Shijiabao?"

It cleverly changed the subject.

Li Yanchu shook his head: "No."

"Shijiabao has been abandoned for a long time. The key now is that Jinshui Town that Jiang Lin mentioned. I asked all the nearby villagers, but no one has heard of it at all."

The iron-eating beast was shocked: "What?"

Li Yanchu frowned,
Although he hadn't seen Jiang Lin's breath with spiritual eyes, he could clearly feel that it was a person.

It's definitely not a ghost.
How can you name a place that no one has ever heard of?

The iron-eating beast suddenly thought of something and said:

"Daoist, isn't the town next to it Jinshui Town?"

"A town?" Li Yanchu was stunned for a moment and looked at the iron-eating beast.

The iron-eating beast pointed to the north: "I just noticed that there is a town over there, which is quite lively. I thought it was Jinshui Town."

Li Yanchu looked in the direction he pointed and did see a glimmer of light.
"Where is the town north of Shijiabao?"

Li Yanchu frowned.
