After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 246: Centipede Ridge, is it practicing?

"Chen Yang!"

The old locust tree has a low voice, like a soul-catcher calling out to souls.

It gives people a feeling of being very urgent, wanting to shout loudly, but not daring to shout.

It was raining outside and the wind made the window frames rattle. Chen Yang woke up in a daze.

The cold wind blew and I shivered.

Apart from anything else, this kind of environment and this kind of noise are really a bit creepy.

"Mr. Huai, what's wrong?"

Get up and close the window.

It’s the middle of the night and Old Locust Tree is looking for him. Could something have happened?

Of course, it is not ruled out that the old locust tree is lonely and depressed, and seeks him to relieve his loneliness.

"Mr. Huai?"

Chen Yang closed his eyes, but there was no sound in his ears. He shouted again, could it be that he was hallucinating?

But the Shanyu mark on the neck was still burning hot.

"Wait a minute, it hasn't left yet."

Just when Chen Yang was about to ask again, the voice of the old locust tree finally rang again. It deliberately lowered its voice, as if it was afraid of being heard by someone.

Then, the old locust tree fell into a long silence again.

what's the situation?
Chen Yang frowned, having no idea what the old locust tree was doing.

Silence, long silence.

"call……"

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Yang finally heard the old locust tree's long breath again.

It feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally relax.

"Chen Yang, are you still there?"

At this time, the sound of the old locust tree obviously increased by several decibels and was no longer as depressing as before.

But you can tell that there is still some excitement mixed in with the emotion.

"exist."

Chen Yang quickly responded, fearing that he would suddenly lose connection again, "Mr. Huai, what happened?"

"Just now, there was something in my woods."

Mr. Huai quickly told him what had happened.

It turned out that earlier, there was cold wind and rain in the mountains. After the old locust tree had a spiritual conversation with the banyan tree for a while, it prepared to rest early.

At this time, uninvited guests came to the Old Ghost Forest.

The old locust tree looked up and saw an old man and an old woman.

Looking at their appearance and attire, he remembered that they were the old couple who had gone into the mountains and headed for Mixiangou a few days ago.

The old locust tree didn't care, thinking that they had just returned from Mixian Gou and was going to report to Chen Yang the next day.

But soon the old locust tree discovered something was wrong.

After entering the Old Ghost Forest, the old couple seemed to be lost and kept wandering in the forest.

He swayed to the east, then to the west, and circled in the woods, calling out "Kuan'er, Kuan'er" from time to time.

The more it looked, the more something seemed wrong; the more it listened, the more creepy it seemed.

He immediately took a closer look.

You don't know until you see it, it's really scared.

The old couple were in tattered clothes and covered in blood. Their faces were pale and their eyes were empty.

dead!

The old locust tree quickly concluded that the old couple were dead.

There was no life left in them. Their bodies were controlled by a strange force, moving mechanically in the woods like zombies and evil spirits.

This discovery made even the old locust tree feel creepy.

When the two men wandered under the tree, the old locust tree discovered the real clue.

Behind the two corpses, there is a spiritual plant, and it is that spiritual plant that is controlling their bodies.

This discovery made the old locust tree shudder.

Following Polygonum multiflorum, another evil spiritual plant appeared on Qishan Mountain.

Polygonatum, that is a Polygonatum that has become popular.

The old locust tree was frightened and quickly contacted Chen Yang.

But the Polygonatum sibiricum has been wandering around the Old Ghost Forest and was reluctant to leave. The old locust tree was afraid that his mental fluctuations would be detected by the other party, so he kept it to himself for so long.

The old locust tree didn't feel relieved until the Polygonatum sibiricum left the Old Ghost Forest.

……

After listening to the old locust tree's story, Chen Yang's face became solemn.

He actually came to Old Ghost Forest?
"Chen Yang, it has left now. I don't know if it will come back soon. This thing is a bit weird. I feel that it is more terrifying than He Shiwu..."

The old locust tree seemed to still be somewhat frightened, and its voice was trembling slightly.

Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, "Old Huai, don't disturb it. Just pretend it doesn't exist. I will go into the mountain to deal with it tomorrow morning."

"Then you better get up early."

The old locust tree felt a little relieved. It had lived in the Old Ghost Forest for so many years and was not afraid of any ghosts or spirits. It was just afraid that this thing would do something bad to it.

After all, the old locust tree is also a spiritual plant, and it is not uncommon for spiritual plants to devour each other.

That Polygonatum is so evil. If it targets it, it can't guarantee that it can defeat it.

……

There was wind and rain outside the window. It was the middle of the night and obviously not the right time to go up the mountain.

The old locust tree woke up Chen Yang from his sleepiness.

He pulled out the system panel and opened the [Qishan Centennial Polygonatum Growth Distribution Map].

A thumbnail map of Qishan quickly unfolded in his mind.

There are still three red dots flashing on the map.

The positions of two of the red dots are fixed, as if they have never changed since the beginning, but the other flashing red dot is obviously moving.

Judging from the location, it is indeed near the Old Ghost Forest.

Chen Yang stared at the red dot. It wandered around the Old Ghost Forest for a while and then stopped at a certain location.

Not moving anymore.

After comparing the map, Chen Yang discovered that this location was exactly the Polygonatum sibiricum forest where he and Huang Can had dug Polygonatum sibiricum.

What is it going there for?
Chen Yang frowned slightly. Although he could see its position moving, he had no idea of ​​the situation at the scene.

After all, he didn't have the third eye.

After waiting for a long time, the red dot did not move.

Chen Yang closed the map. No matter what the situation was at the scene, he would know it clearly when he got to the mountain early tomorrow morning.

……

-

In the early morning, Daqi Mountain was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, like a girl covered with a veil.

There was still a little drizzle in the sky, which, when the wind blew, was like flying needles all over the sky.

In the yard of the old house.

Huang Can came early in the morning carrying a backpack. He was planning to call Chen Yang to go up the mountain to dig Polygonatum after the rain stopped.

They dug up Polygonatum sibiricum that day, but they only dug up a small part of it, and there was still a lot left.

As long as he is willing to work hard, he can earn at least several thousand yuan a day. How can Huang Can not be enthusiastic?

He ran over excitedly and called Chen Yang, but unexpectedly he was held down by Chen Yang.

There is danger on the mountain, so Chen Yang doesn't let him go.

Huang Can was confused and asked what happened. After listening, he stood there stupidly for a few seconds.

Huang Jing kills people? Are you sure this isn't a horror story?

But seeing that Chen Yang and Qin Zhou had already put on their backpacks and were ready to go into the mountains, it was obvious that they were not joking with him.

"Brother Yang, can you take me with you?" Huang Can asked embarrassedly.

Before Chen Yang could speak, Qin Zhou blew his beard and said, "What are you going to do? Are you going to die? You are just fooling around."

Huang Can's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this. "It's good for me to go and broaden my horizons. Don't worry, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you."

He looked at Chen Yang eagerly.

He had only heard Chen Yang talk about some strange things in the mountains before, but he had never seen them with his own eyes. Now that he had such an opportunity, he didn't want to let it go.

Chen Yang hesitated.

It was an accident that Huang Can entered the Panshan business. He inherited the fire silkworm and would most likely embark on the Panshan road in the future. It is indeed worth getting in touch with some things that can refresh one's worldview.

"Aren't you afraid?" Chen Yang looked at him.

"You are not afraid, so why should I be afraid?" Huang Can spread his hands calmly.

"Oh, you don't have to be afraid now, but when you see that thing later, just don't cry or wet your pants." Qinzhou said jokingly from the side.

Huang Can's face twitched slightly. This old man's words were so annoying.

"alright."

Chen Yang didn't say much, just reminded, "Once you enter the mountain, you must follow the instructions and are not allowed to act on your own. In addition, the most important point is that you are not allowed to broadcast live."

"learn."

Huang Can was delighted when he heard this and agreed immediately.

"Backpack."

Qinzhou directly threw his huge backpack towards Huang Can.

When we get down the mountain, we still have to carry the body.

Don’t miss out on free labor.

……

-

At noon, near Laoguilin, Huangjinglin. It rained last night, and the mountains were wet everywhere.

The dew was very heavy, and the three of them were soaked all the way, like three drowned rats.

There was a strong smell of damp in the air, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

"Fuck, what's going on? Who the hell did this?"

Huang Can threw his backpack to the ground and ran into the Huangjing forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Chen Yang and he had come here just two days ago, and the traces of them digging for Polygonatum were still there.

There are still a lot of Polygonatum sibiricum left at the foot of the hillside, but at this moment, these Polygonatum sibiricum seem to have withered.

Their exposed stems became extremely dry and hard, and their leaves and flowers were all dry and black.

It breaks with a slight bend of the hand.

The three of them changed their expressions slightly, and Huang Can even started cursing.

It was fine when I left that day, how come it became so withered in the blink of an eye?
This is all fucking money.

Chen Yang frowned, grabbed a dried Polygonatum sibiricum and pulled it gently.

Just pull it up directly.

The tubers buried underground seemed to be dehydrated. When you squeezed them with your hands, they would fall off into powder with a crackling sound.

This……

Chen Yang paused.

This unscientific.

You know, it has been raining these two days. This situation is definitely not caused by lack of water.

"Made..."

Huang Can turned around cursing, "This is too weird. With so many Huang Jing, I'm afraid a quarter of them are dead."

At this moment, Chen Yang's face was also full of black lines.

These were the experience packs he had stored, and he hadn’t even had time to harvest them yet, so he just threw away a whole bunch of them?

"Could it be that Polygonatum sibiricum that did it?" Qinzhou said solemnly beside him.

"Ok?"

Did Huang Jing do it? Did the Huang Jing that kills people do it?

When Huang Can heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes. If Qinzhou hadn't said anything, he would have even thought that it was some wicked guy who came here to spray herbicides.

Chen Yang did not comment.

It's not impossible that it was done by Huang Jing.

After all, he knew that the Polygonatum sibiricum had visited this Polygonatum sibiricum forest last night.

Qin Zhou said, "If it was done by that Polygonatum odoratum, Chen Yang, this Polygonatum odoratum must be quite intelligent. It is actively hunting and absorbing the medicinal power of these Polygonatum odoratums..."

In other words, it is practicing.

Chen Yang looked around and saw more than ten acres of Polygonatum sibiricum. Although the years were small, the advantage was that there were large quantities.

In this area, out of the more than ten acres of Polygonatum sibiricum, at least two or three acres have withered. Without exception, the withering was caused by the loss of medicinal properties.

"It should still be nearby!"

Qinzhou suddenly thought of something and looked around vigilantly.

Huang Can's face changed slightly and he quickly looked around.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"It's not here, don't be nervous!"

Chen Yang was much more relaxed. He opened the [Qishan Centennial Polygonatum Growth Distribution Map] and saw that the red dot had left the Polygonatum field at dawn.

The current location is near Centipede Ridge.

It was still moving towards Centipede Ridge in the morning, but then it stayed there and didn't move any further.

"Sure?"

Qinzhou looked at Chen Yang in surprise. He didn't understand why Chen Yang was so sure.

"Let's go to the Old Ghost Forest and find the old locust tree."

Chen Yang did not explain and continued walking towards the Old Ghost Forest.

Old locust tree?
Qinzhou remembered that although Chen Yang had not entered the spiritual realm, he had the ability to communicate with spiritual plants.

He had seen it as early as when he was at Sharp Peak Mountain.

The old locust tree in the Old Ghost Forest is also a spiritual plant. I think Chen Yang should be able to communicate with it.

In this way, it should be easier for them to find the whereabouts of the Polygonatum sibiricum.

……

In the Old Ghost Forest, the three of them soon arrived under the old locust tree.

Qinzhou and Huang Can were circling the old locust tree, as if they both wanted to try to communicate with it, but unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, it was just like talking to a deaf ear.

Obviously, not everyone has this ability.

The spiritual realm is a hard condition for opening the door to communication with spiritual plants, and Chen Yang can only be regarded as an extremely rare case.

The old locust tree was still a little frightened, and only after seeing Chen Yang did it calm down.

He told Chen Yang in person what happened last night, and how this morning, at dawn, the Polygonatum sibiricum came to the Old Ghost Forest again, wandered around in the Old Ghost Forest for a long time before leaving and heading towards Centipede Ridge.

The three of them immediately rushed to Centipede Ridge.

Chen Yang checked the location on the map in real time. There was another century-old Polygonatum sibiricum near Centipede Ridge.

In the entire Qishan, there are only three Polygonatum sibiricum plants over 100 years old.

In addition to the killer Polygonatum they were looking for, there were two other plants, one of which was not far from Centipede Ridge.

Chen Yang was a little suspicious. Could it be that this murderous Polygonatum was circling around and was heading for the hundred-year-old Polygonatum?

They are of the same species and their medicinal properties should be similar. If the killer Polygonatum wants to obtain energy through hunting, then hunting the hundred-year-old Polygonatum is indeed a good choice.

The medicinal effect of century-old Polygonatum is greater and more suitable for its practice.

A hundred-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum is much more valuable than hundreds of ordinary Polygonatum sibiricum. Some things cannot be accumulated simply by quantity.

It may not have had enough to eat in the Polygonatum sibiricum forest, so it set its sights on the century-old Polygonatum sibiricum here.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them arrived at the foot of Centipede Ridge.

The system showed that the location of the killer Polygonatum was on Centipede Ridge, and the two red dots almost overlapped.

"Are you sure about this?"

Qinzhou looked up and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.

Chen Yang nodded.

How could what the system shows be false?

"It's a steep cliff, and it's not easy for people to stand. It's easy for us to go up, but if we encounter any accidents, it may be disadvantageous to us."

Qinzhou analyzed it.

There is no need to talk about Huang Can, he could only watch. He and Chen Yang could go up, but the Centipede Ridge was too steep, which would greatly restrict their movements.

What they have to deal with is no ordinary stuff. When the fight breaks out, they will be at a disadvantage if they don't have the advantage of terrain.

"I'll go up and take a look first. You guys stay down there and if it escapes, just don't let it get away."

By comparing the map, Chen Yang has confirmed the location of the Polygonatum sibiricum.

"You're going up there alone?"

Qinzhou frowned. This matter could not be taken lightly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. If you follow me, you will be a burden." Chen Yang was not polite at all and his words were a bit hurtful.

Qinzhou's face trembled.

"I know you're powerful, but don't be careless. If you can't get out of this situation, come down. We'll try to lure it to an open area and deal with it. Don't try to be brave."

"Ah."

In response to Qinzhou's instructions, Chen Yang nodded lightly.

He put the butcher knife on his waist, walked to the bottom of the cliff, looked up, and jumped up the cliff like a nimble swallow.

Huang Can was dumbfounded.

Is this Qinggong?
The martial arts skills shown in TV dramas are just like this, right?

The cliff is so steep that it is difficult to find a place to stand. If it were him, he might not dare to climb up even with climbing equipment.

"Hey, kid, do you want to learn?"

Qinzhou glanced at him and asked casually.

"what?"

Huang Can came back to his senses and looked at Qin Zhou in surprise, "What are you learning?"

"It's Qinggong."

Qin Zhou smiled slightly, "I know everything Chen Yang knows. I think you have a pretty good aptitude. Why don't you become my disciple and I'll teach you..."

Apprenticeship?

Huang Can was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He had not had much contact with Qinzhou. He only knew that Qinzhou was a master and that Chen Guoqiang had specially asked him to run customs for his grandson. He seemed to be quite rich and had a high status.

"Chen Yang is your apprentice?"

Huang Can looked confused. He was very curious about the relationship between Qinzhou and Chen Yang.

"He... this..."

Qin Zhou was so confused that he couldn't teach a disciple like Chen Yang. "I told you to become my disciple, why are you talking about him?"

Seeing Qin Zhou talking about something else, Huang Can understood something and asked, "Who is more powerful, you or Chen Yang?"

Qin Zhou was choked for a moment, and argued, "It depends on what you are talking about. In terms of seniority and breadth of knowledge in Panshan Realm, he is definitely not as good as me..."

It feels a bit like forcing yourself to save face.

Huang Can inexplicably felt a little embarrassed for him and quickly interrupted him, "Mr. Qin, becoming a disciple is just like finding a godfather, it's not a joke. Please allow me to think about it..."

He didn't know Qinzhou well, so how could he rashly become his disciple? Moreover, the other party might just be joking with him. Huang Can didn't take it seriously. If he really wanted to become his disciple, he thought it would be better to become Chen Yang's disciple directly.

Although Chen Yang is young, he knows everything about the place and is very capable.

Huang Can has never been convinced by anyone, and Chen Yang is one of them.
