When I was a Taoist

Chapter 465 Nightfall
After a moment of silence, Elder Qingquan told me the information about the exorcist: "Actually, this walking corpse is not completely adapted to the sun, but it can resist for a while longer than other walking corpses, so it is covered with a coat. He was wrapped up from the beginning to the end. But even so, there are only a few people who understand this method of refining corpses. And there is only one person near Dragon City, Hong Jie."

"Hong Jie?" I searched the memory in my mind, but I didn't have any impression of this name.

"It's understandable that you don't know him. After all, he became famous more than ten years ago, but after a few years, he lived in seclusion and disappeared. If you hadn't mentioned it, I'm afraid I would have forgotten it."

Elder Qingquan smiled, and continued: "Speaking of Hong Jie, he is also amazing. He grew up in the countryside, and logically speaking, he has nothing to do with the supernatural circle. For some reason, it is said that he started to teach himself to practice in his teens. The technology of corpses has been achieved in a few years, and even some serious Xiangxi exorcists can't compare with him. When he disappeared more than ten years ago, it is said that he refined a walking corpse that can use the five elements But soon Hong Jie disappeared, and no matter how many people searched for him, it would be bad luck in the end, and few people could come out alive. As time passed, no one dared to look for his whereabouts anymore."

"He can actually refine a walking corpse with five elements, this person is really scary!"

You must know that corpses are not among the five elements, otherwise there will be corpse changes, let alone refining them into walking corpses.But this Hong Jie went against the sky, and he was able to infuse the five elements into walking corpses. One can imagine that he must be a genius in the lineage of corpse refining.When fighting against this kind of person, I must raise 1 cautions.

"Thank you senior, no matter how dangerous Hong Jie is, I will go to Luohua Village! If he doesn't want to return my things, I can only use my own means to grab them."

I smiled, and then asked: "Where is this Hong Jie living in seclusion? I only have less than two days. I must find him immediately."

"Luohua Village, if he hadn't moved, it should be there."

After hearing Elder Qingquan's words, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't laugh or cry.Fate is really wonderful. I thought we were going the wrong way, but I didn't expect that we would go to Luohua Village after a detour.

Before hanging up the phone, Elder Qingquan hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "When you find Hong Jie, if he is unwilling to cooperate with you, you can report my name. I saved his life back then, if this child is still alive If you have a conscience, maybe you can help me out of my face."

After a pause, Elder Qingquan sighed, and said helplessly: "I also want to ask you one thing. If you have to do something, it's best to just abolish his morality and save his life. This child's behavior at the beginning Not bad, I don’t know why it has become like this, alas.”

After hanging up the phone, I was still thinking about Elder Qingquan's last words.Hearing what he said, he had a lot of connections with Hong Jie back then.Moreover, the people who refine the corpses have weird tempers, and the deeper they are, the more likely they will be distorted. After all, they deal with corpses and walking corpses every day.Why would a person with good conduct and good personality choose this line of work?
With a stomach full of doubts, we soon arrived at Luohua Village.As the name suggests, there are all kinds of flowers here, and I have seen a report on the news.But when we got out of the car, we saw that although the fields in the village were planted with flowers all over the mountains and plains, more than half of them were withered, not to mention the fragrance of flowers.

"It's strange, now is the time for flowering, and it's not winter, why are all the flowers withered."

Fan Chen muttered something, and then we got off the car at the head of the village and walked into the village.There are only about a hundred households in Luohua Village, and most of them are old and weak, women and children. Most of the young and strong men have gone to the city to work.This place is not considered rich, but there are two-story buildings and cars everywhere, and the life of the villagers is quite happy.

It was already evening, and when I was worried that there would be no place to sleep, an old man in his 70s and [-]s swayed towards us step by step with a cane, and said in the local dialect: "Young man, you three come here at night." Is there something wrong with our village?"

I originally planned to directly state my reason for coming, but when the words just reached my mouth, I suddenly swallowed it back, thought for a while and said: "The three of us are here for a trip. I didn't expect the car to break down halfway, so we can only come here to rest for a while." In the evening, we will continue on the road tomorrow morning. Grandpa, where is your village chief? Can the three of us find a place to sleep for the night? We can talk about money and everything!"

Hearing my words, the old man immediately became enthusiastic, took my hand and took me to the village, saying: "I am the village head of this village, and I will take you to the guest house of the village to rest now. Don't worry about your cars, tomorrow I'll call someone to help you fix it early in the morning."

I was a little surprised by the enthusiasm of the village chief, but at least we had a place to stay for the night.Walking through the whole village, I found that the atmosphere of this village is a bit strange.It's only seven or eight o'clock at most now, but every household has closed their doors tightly.Although there are almost no people on the street, the doors of every house are brightly lit.I don't know if this is the habit of the village, it is specially prepared for people who walk at night.

The guest house in the village is a bit remote, it is actually on the other side of the village, and it is some distance away from the houses of other villagers.However, the conditions here are not bad, basic furniture such as air-conditioning and TV are available, and you can see the flower fields on the mountains in the distance.If it is daytime, I am afraid that the scenery here is very good.

The three of us didn't share a room. When we talked about the price, the village head waved his hand and told us that we only wanted the rent for one person.After handing over the key to us, the village chief smiled and said with a cane: "You eat first and pack up your things. I will go home and let the old lady cook for you. The first house you walk forward is my house. Come here as soon as you finish packing up." Let's eat."

After finishing speaking, the village chief left the guest house with one foot and one foot, and disappeared into the night.

After confirming that the village head left, Fan Chen rubbed his nose and sneered, "Have you noticed? The village head changed completely when he heard that we were here for tourism. He wished he didn't even want the rent, just for can keep us here."

I also nodded, the village head was indeed a little too enthusiastic, even the most basic rent was almost free.What's even more strange is that there are hundreds of families in the village, but there is no one who chats and visits at night, and the doors of every house are locked like thieves.If you say there is no problem, I am afraid that even a fool will not believe it.
