Not long after, Niu Jingang Honglian and the others came back, it was just them.
Fu Dongliu looked at his teeth and said, "Where are the Shi family brothers? I just had a good chat with them. I won't kill them, right?"
"..." Niu Jinjiang was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Kick him away."
"They didn't know the plan of Shi Shouya and his son, but they knew that there was a fork in the road nearby that could lead them over the misty boundary of the valley, so they let them go."
Xu Yan nodded and did not doubt anything. After all, the Niu brothers and sisters should not be underestimated. They must have their own means to interrogate them clearly.
Since it is certain that those two people do not know anything, it is naturally better to drive them away.
"Didn't they ask about the whereabouts of Shi Shouya and his son?" Xu Yan asked curiously.
"I guess I guessed it." Hong Lian frowned and said, "Their statements are consistent. The clan leader of Shiren Village is changed almost every ten years. Some secrets are only known to the clan leader."
"They all know that the patriarch is doing something behind their backs to delay the curse, but they don't know exactly what to do and how to do it."
"Originally Shi Manshan shouldn't have come with him, but Shi Shouya didn't think there was any danger, so he brought him here for training. We just said that the father and son were missing, and they didn't ask any more questions."
After hearing this, Xu Yan looked at Fu Dongliu and asked, "What do you think?"
"There should be no problem!" Fu Dongliu said cheerfully: "The two brothers are almost as smart as the Ergou brothers, so they can't act so realistically!"
"Hey? What do you mean!" Ergou glared.
The third child quickly said: "I praise you, saying that you are sincere and not hypocritical!"
"Oh!" Ergou nodded with satisfaction, took out a piece of ham and gnawed on it.
"Shi Shouya and his son will not tell this kind of thing easily." Xu Yan nodded and said: "After all, the targets that can be hunted are limited. They must give priority to themselves and will not be in a hurry to share it with others."
Only Niu Jingang and Honglian understood this, Lao San blinked in curiosity but didn't ask any more questions, Er Gou didn't care, and Fu Dongliu simply pretended not to hear.
Niu Jinjiang nodded, that was the end of the matter, but he was still a little irritated.
"Then what should we do next? Go back or continue?" Honglian looked at Niu Jingang, sighed secretly, and finally asked Xu Yan.
"The surrounding fog is no longer so thick, and it is estimated that we are not far from the exit of the valley."
Xu Yan looked forward and smiled: "As the saying goes, it's time to come... Why don't you go in and have a look?"
"After all, the people from Shirenzhai have already led the way. Wouldn't it be better to rely on yourself to find natural and earthly treasures?"
"Doctor Xu is right!" Ergou said happily: "Although everyone named Shi has withdrawn, it just so happens that no one is snatching it from us!"
"I'm going to explore the path!" The third child also cheered up and ran into the mist to explore the path first.
The team set off again. Niu Jingang was silent for a long time. After a while, he whispered to Xu Yan: "I guess what happened to the Zudong Notes."
"Those elders should have encountered similar troubles after encountering the Stoneman Village."
"There is no way to alleviate the problem. Once this kind of thing starts, it may bring disaster to the entire clan."
"So, they met people like Shirenzhai, but they didn't record it, because it's really impossible to determine whether they are enemies or friends, right?"
"Dark Forest." Xu Yan nodded and said suddenly.
"What?" Niu Jinjiang was confused.
"Judging from what Shi Shouya said, the method of easing the curse is not a secret to many ethnic groups like yours."
Xu Yan explained: "By the way, I asked Lao Fu and he has seen a group similar to yours, called the Shouyuan family, which is extremely powerful!"
Niu Jingang frowned and continued to listen.
"If this is a secret that many Shouyuan families keep together, and they only tacitly agree with each other and are unwilling to touch it openly, the situation between you will be like being in a dark forest."
"Whoever lights the torch first and reveals his or her identity and location is likely to become the prey of others."
"And once too many people in the ethnic group know about it, random hunting and killing may trigger a war of hatred between ethnic groups, which is of course very disadvantageous."
"That's why you don't mention these in your ancestral cave notes. It's better not to know, so that you can stay curious and vigilant, and you won't have the intention to kill."
Niu Jingang was silent for a long time after listening carefully and nodded slowly.
This explanation is indeed very reasonable, and at least it solves all the known confusions.
"Xu Yan, how do you think other Shouyuan families solved the curse?"
Niu Jingang couldn't help but ask: "Have you found the corresponding heavenly material and earthly treasure, or is there another way?"
"I don't know!" Xu Yan frowned and said, "But it should be inseparable from the treasures of heaven and earth!"
"The last time I used Tiancai Dibao to prepare medicine for you to try, your reaction actually proved this!"
"The energy in your blood can be affected by heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"
"So regardless of whether there are other steps and conditions, the corresponding natural materials and treasures are definitely needed!"
"Understood!" Niu Jinjiang let out a long breath, and the heaviness on his face finally faded away, "In this case, let's just ignore everything else and continue on the original path."
"Believe me, we should not be far away from the truth." Xu Yan patted him, "I will collect more evil insects this time. When the time is right, I will accompany you to Dongshan Province to meet the man in Hushang Villa.
Zhao family!"
"Thank you. I really feel sorry for you helping us so much... Why don't you tell me when to talk to Honglian first..."
"Ni Zuokai!"
"Hey!" Niu Jingang dodged happily, fearing that Xu Yan would go crazy and he wouldn't be able to beat him!
"Brother! Doctor Xu! We're at the exit!" The third child's voice suddenly came from the thinning mist ahead.
Everyone cheered up and rushed out at a faster pace. After a while, they broke out of the fog and were stunned by the sight in front of them.
The 100,000 mountains in our imagination are naturally shrouded in dark clouds and filled with evil spirits.
But what caught their eyes was the blooming and vibrant mountain flowers under the bright sunshine. The surrounding area was lush and green, it was like a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters!
Xu Yan took a deep breath and even found that the air inside was much better than outside, and the earth's energy was also more active. It seemed that the energy flow all over his body had been accelerated!
How could this happen? I didn’t expect it at all!
"What the hell, is this the Hundred Thousand Mountains?" Fu Dongliu was also shocked, obviously this was different from what he had heard.
Xu Yan turned around and saw that Niu Jingang and others had strange expressions on their faces, looking around in a daze.
"Brother Niu, what's going on?" Xu Yan was curious.
"This place looks like Niujiadong!" Niu Jinjiang frowned and said, "It's too similar. It feels like it's not affected by the seasonal temperature and is a world of its own."
"But the location we entered before was not like this. It looks like a treasure land, but it is surrounded by many treasure lands and evil lands that have not yet been fully formed."
Guren and the others also nodded, obviously a little surprised.
Ergou also suddenly said: "There is such a good place, why don't people from Shirenzhai come and have a look? Why did they leave halfway?"
Several people were stunned. They were right. This place is obviously a well-established treasure land, and its scope is huge!
There must be treasures in this kind of place, maybe many more!
If this is the case, why haven’t the people from Shiren Village been here? We should organize as many people as possible to mine the natural and earthly treasures here!
Looking at the seemingly endless sea of flowers, everyone fell into deep thought and confusion.
"Could it be that they have actually been here before, but they just didn't mention it?" Fu Dongliu was eager to give it a try. Looking at the beautiful scenery of the sea of flowers, he couldn't help but want to go in and wander around.
But Niu Jinjiang shook his head and said: "Shi Mangu and his two brothers, at least, don't know about this place at all. The other people in Shiren Village should not know about it either. This is unreasonable."
"If Shi Shouya and the others had come in, there would be no reason not to bring more people to find the treasures of heaven, materials and earth..."
"How about we go in and take a look first?"
After some hesitation, a few people finally decided to try to go in and investigate.
Although it is a treasure place, it may not be without danger, and it is too colorful, so you have to be careful.
As everyone walked through the sea of flowers, they were startled to fly away swarms of huge bees and butterflies. It was like a chain reaction, and all the bees and butterflies in the entire sea of flowers flew up, looking densely packed and spectacular!
Even a little scary!
The next moment, a truly terrifying scene appeared. All the bees and butterflies turned their heads in unison, like small air troops, and rushed towards several people with a huge buzzing sound!
"Fuck, run! Run back!"
Niu Jingang slashed at one with his sword, but failed to kill it. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted!
