The three of us strolled slowly until we reached the old house left over from the days of the production team.

Cheng Xiazi suddenly stopped and sniffed, "There is something."

Xu Yuanzhi took out a large bowl from the bag on his back, scooped up a bowl of rainwater from the drainage ditch beside the road, and took out the package of silver needles.

This guy really knows how to use local materials!

The silver needle was placed on the water, and after two turns, it pointed straight to somewhere.

Xu Yuan and I subconsciously looked there, and when we saw it, I shivered violently.

It was an abandoned well. There was a brown snake head as big as a bucket lying on the edge of the well. The snake's body was in the well. I don't know how long it was, but judging from such a big head alone, it must be...

More than ten meters.

The snake's red eyes stared at us coldly, and its forked snake kept hesitating.

Snakes are not uncommon in the countryside, but this was the first time I saw such a big one. My calves felt soft, and Xu Yuanzhi picked me up and dragged me away in a hurry.

"Damn, this is too scary!" After walking quite far, we stopped and waited for Cheng Xiazi. With lingering fear, I patted Pengpeng's beating chest and exhaled.

"It belongs to the Lao Liu family. There is a lot of water in the Xiaolong River. It just ran into the village. It seems that it is not a good person. You can't mess with it. You can't mess with it..."

Xu Yuanzhi also looked nervous, as if he was talking to me or admonishing himself.

After Cheng Xiazi caught up, we continued walking forward. We really found a lot of small animals in twos and threes, including several Daoxing ones. One of them, a big hedgehog, left a deep impression on me.

This is the first time I have seen such a big hedgehog, as big as a pot, and the needles on its back are as thick as my little finger. When we saw it, it also saw us.

We looked at each other, and the hedgehog actually stood up like a human, and bowed to Xu Yuanzhi with its two front paws, as if it was asking for something from him.

When Old Xu saw this scene, he took me with one hand and Cheng Xiazi with the other, turned around and ran away!

I was a little confused by him. While running after him, I asked breathlessly: "Why are you running? That thorn..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Before I could say anything, Xu Yuanzhi roared and covered my mouth.

This old boy's hands were very strong and he almost choked me to death. After stumbling and dragging me a long way, he let me go and said to me with lingering fear: "Little ancestor, if you encounter this kind of situation again in the future,

But please don't say what they are, it's taboo. If you said those words at night, it will make it angry, and the three of us will have a hard time in the future."

"What do you mean?" I was annoyed by him, but it didn't look like he was joking, so I suppressed my complaints and asked.

"The hedgehog bowed to me. It was asking for a title. If you say it is a hedgehog, it will never be able to form a human form in this life. Do you think it will be annoyed?"

I suddenly realized: "So that's it!"

I know about animals asking for a title, and I have heard a lot about it, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. Now that I have met it, I feel it is quite novel, so I said to Xu Yuanzhi: "It is a good thing that it wants to ask for a title from you. You said it

Wouldn’t it be enough to be like a human being? With the current chaos, if it can be transformed into a human being, its fortune will definitely rise sharply, and maybe it can even help us.”

"You little brat knows nothing." Xu Yuanzhi glared at me, "If I really want to seal it, it would be harming it. They say that when animals encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, asking cultivators to seal them will make them gain a lot.

Ascension, in fact, is not the case at all. If it is not recognized by heaven and earth, even if it has no human form, even if it is cultivated for thousands of years, it will not achieve the right result. Not only that, if I seal it, I will be connected with it, if it

It’s okay to do good, but if I do evil, I will suffer the consequences..."

Before Xu Yuanzhi finished speaking, there was a cough behind us.

"Ahem..."

We both hurriedly turned around, and it was not Blind Cheng, but the big hedgehog lying in the grass on the side of the road, nodding at us.

This stuff is coming!

Is it possible that Feng Bucheng became angry and wanted to take action against us?

I was just thinking about which way to run to get rid of it, but without thinking, it spoke: "I heard what the Taoist said, but I was confused for a while and bothered the Taoist."

It speaks politely and does not seem to be trying to be aggressive.

Xu Yuanzhi handed it over and said: "You can already speak human words. In time, you will definitely survive the catastrophe of thunder and transform into human form, so why rush at this moment?"

The old hedgehog sighed: "It's not that I can't bear the hardships of cultivation. I'm ashamed to say that I have been practicing in the mountains for a long time. Even I don't remember how many years ago I was able to speak human words. Maybe a thousand years, maybe two years ago.

For thousands of years, maybe even longer, I have watched my descendants surpass me one by one, but I can't even transform into a human form. It's really helpless to ask the Taoist for a title today."

It took more than 2,000 years to cultivate a human form! I don’t know if it’s because I’m stupid, because I have a talent problem, or because I’m just pitiful.

Xu Yuanzhi's thoughts were probably similar to mine. He looked at the old hedgehog with sympathy, his mouth twitched for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

"Alas!" the old hedgehog sighed, full of melancholy, "I don't know what went wrong with me. Why didn't the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder come? Everyone else was afraid of it, fearing that it would kill me. I was dreaming.

I'm all looking forward to it coming, even if it kills me in one fell swoop."

This old hedgehog is probably very depressed, and he keeps nagging us endlessly.

The sharp-tongued Xu Yuan was speechless, and even after holding it in for a long time, he couldn't even utter a word.

"A late bloomer!" Cheng Xiazi, who came slowly, said this.

The old hedgehog then turned around and went back to practice.

The situation in the village is much better than I imagined. Although there are a lot more small animals than usual, there are only a few who are truly righteous. This discovery makes me feel a lot more at ease.

However, the blind man's words made me feel nervous again after I had just relaxed.

He said that it is daytime now, and monsters dare to come out, but the sneaky ones are afraid of the Yang energy and dare not show up. At night, the village will definitely have a different scene, and this is only the early stage. After a while, the monsters will

The more these things gather, the more yin energy becomes heavier and heavier, and ghosts dare to come out in broad daylight."

I fantasized about the scene of demons and ghosts running rampant in the village in broad daylight, and I couldn't help but feel chills standing on end.

We walked around the whole village and found no major problems, so the three of us went to the construction site by the Xiaolong River.

There are a lot of construction materials piled here. Because it has been raining for the past few days, these materials are covered with plastic sheets. The strange thing is that there is not even a human figure in the huge construction site.

Counting it all together, it has been half a month since Madman Niu passed away. Lu Jinguo, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot some time ago, should have chosen another location long ago. Could it be that the higher authorities have not approved it?

I shook my head, now that things have become like this, whether the river embankment is repaired or not has nothing to do with me!

I walked slowly and didn't notice that Xu Yuanzhi and Cheng Xiazi didn't follow me...
Chapter completed!
