I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 525: [Returning Home on a Snowy Night] A Story

Sun Qipeng started running in the bamboo forest. He was seven years old, the age when cats and dogs hate him.

It's cool here and he came back to life.

The villagers were also in the bamboo forest. They sat on mats in groups of three or four and chatted, while some were playing mahjong.

Sun Qipeng quickly became familiar with the children in the village. After all, many of them were of similar age.

They ran around in the woods, shaking the bamboos from time to time, and the leaves would fall down with a rustling sound.

But soon this became meaningless.

Sun Qipeng looked at the children in the village and said, "Hey, do you know why this bamboo forest in the village is so cool?"

These little boys had a lot of dirty marks on their bodies, probably because they were too active and sweated, but they hadn’t taken a bath for several days. Plus, their hands were dirty from playing outside, so a single wipe left a lot of black marks on their bodies.

Many children are like this, and Sun Qipeng actually dislikes them a little.

The little girl was cleaner, but not much better, and was tanned to a very dark color.

He is from the town, a city guy, and he really doesn't want to hang out with country bumpkins.

If it weren't for this coolness, he wouldn't have come back.

A little boy grinned and said, "Of course I know!"

The other children also looked at him. He was the grandson of the village chief, and the children generally looked after him.

"Really? Then Weidong, tell me quickly."

Wei Dong kicked the bamboo leaves on the ground and said with a smile: "Because there are many dead bodies buried underneath! My mother said that it is cool here because there are so many dead bodies. When people die, there is yin energy, so it is very cool!"

Children at this age are fearless.

"real or fake?"

"Wow, doesn't that mean we might have bones under our feet?"

Sun Qipeng rolled his eyes and said, "How about we dig one out and try? Does it look real or fake?"

The children cheered and agreed.

They didn't look for any tools, but just picked up some branches and started digging under a bamboo.

Some adults saw this and asked them with disgust not to get themselves dirty, but in fact they were too lazy to care.

The children were very enthusiastic, but they also calmed down quickly.

After digging for a while, they dug a big hole, but did not see any bones.

"Tsk, there's nothing, you're lying." Sun Qipeng was the first to lose interest and threw away the bamboo stick.

Wei Dong was a little embarrassed and said stiffly: "My mother said it, I don't know whether it's true or not, and it was you who wanted to dig it out!"

Sun Qipeng rolled his eyes at him, feeling that it was really annoying to talk to these bumpkins.

He walked towards the pond beside the bamboo forest.

Weidong grabbed the kid who wanted to go with him and said, "Ignore him. Can't you see that he doesn't want to play with us?"

The kids hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow Weidong. After all, Sun Qipeng was indeed from outside, and that was the case for them.

Sun Qipeng walked to the pond, looked at the water, and reached out his hand to feel it.

It feels cool and comfortable.

And it wasn't very deep, it seemed to only reach his thigh.

Sun Qipeng just wanted to go down and play in the water.

But his mother just happened to come over.

"Sun Qipeng, what are you doing?"

His mother saw through her son's intention at a glance and pulled him away.

"I'm telling you, someone has died in that pond. You're not allowed to go in there, okay?"

Another dead person.

Sun Qipeng asked curiously, "Weidong just said that the reason this forest is so cool is because there are corpses buried underneath. Is that true?"

Sun's mother's face changed and she warned him, "Don't say such unlucky things!" Sun Qipeng curled his lips and said, "It was obviously you who said it first."

Sun's mother slapped him on the head and said, "How can you talk to your mother like that? Come on, let's go to your second uncle's house for dinner!"

Sun Qipeng didn't want to eat because it was too hot outside.

But if he didn't eat he would be scolded, so he went out reluctantly.

While eating, Sun Qipeng couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Second Master, Weidong said that the bamboo forest is cool because the dead are buried there. Is that true?"

Mother Sun glared at him.

Sun Qipeng didn't look at her. Anyway, when he was at his relatives' house, his mother usually didn't beat him.

The Second Master was stunned for a moment and said, "That's true. When did the forest seem to become cooler? Let me think about it. It should have been when your father was young. After a woman was buried there, it became cooler."

Mother Sun was a little unhappy and said, "Second Uncle, why are you telling this to the child?"

The second master smiled and said, "He's just a kid. If you don't tell him, he won't ask?"

Mother Sun was speechless and glared at Sun Qipeng.

Father Sun asked, "Is it the daughter-in-law of my uncle Li?"

The Second Master nodded and said, "Yes, it's her. Well, you know, I don't know what she wants. She's already pregnant, so she should just live her life honestly. Why does she have to run away?"

"That's true, but it's good this way. At least there's a place to escape the summer heat in the village." Father Sun said indifferently.

The Second Master nodded and smiled, "Yes, you know what, that master was really amazing. He said he would set up a formation to suppress her, and she no longer dared to make trouble. The remaining resentment was slowly worn away, and it was just like an air conditioner, saving a lot of electricity for our village!"

Sun Qipeng asked curiously, "What formation? What are you talking about, Second Master?"

The Second Master laughed at him and said, "Don't ask questions if you don't know anything, kid. Go out and play after dinner, but don't go to the pond, okay? There's moss in there, it's easy to slip and bump your head. Last year, your Grandpa Li's grandson bumped his head and couldn't get up, so he drowned."

After saying this, he paused, as if he remembered something, but his eyes just flickered and he said nothing.

Sun Qipeng nodded impatiently. He hated adults' preaching.

He was sweating after the meal, but as soon as he entered the bamboo forest, the cool feeling spread all over his body and Sun Qipeng felt refreshed.

Weidong's group of kids also came back.

Sun Qipeng's eyes flickered and he walked over proudly.

"Hey, do you know what I just heard?"

"My second master said that this is a formation! Do you know what a formation is? It's the kind you see in TV dramas! Have you ever watched TV dramas?"

“Of course I have!” Wei Dong said loudly, but in fact, his family was afraid of wasting electricity and did not buy a TV.

The other kids hesitated and actually hadn't seen it either.

Sun Qipeng sneered and said, "If you say so, then so be it. Anyway, this formation is very powerful. We can look for it. It is said that there is a formation eye in the formation. As long as we find the formation eye, we can control the formation!"

The children listened attentively, and someone asked, "Then what? What is the use of controlling the formation?"

"Of course it's useful. Those people who can fly to the sky and into the earth in TV dramas are all good at this. Maybe if we can learn it, we can have special abilities!"

The children collectively exclaimed, clearly very interested.

"Then how do we find the center of the formation?"

How would Sun Qipeng know?

"The center of the formation is very hidden. We can search the forest first to see if there is anything special!"

Anyway, the forest is not big and they can run a circle quickly.

"Okay! Then let's go find it together!"

The kids immediately got into the mood, even Weidong.

Another child said in admiration: "Sun Qipeng, you know so much! If I had special abilities, I would recognize you as my boss!"

Sun Qipeng rolled his eyes again. Who wants to hang out with this bunch of bumpkins?

"Let's search the middle. If it's not there, it might be in the pond."

I have to say, he is quite clever.
