Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

After that, the official asked Butcher Zhang about his father, his wife and children, and they all got the same answer, that is, Butcher Zhang came back at Xu Shi, so they only need to go to the restaurant and ask, if Tian Lufeng was still there at that time, then his His death should have nothing to do with Butcher Zhang.

When Qingyan saw that the official was about to leave, she was a little speechless. This was too hasty. She just listened to one side of the story and stopped investigating?

She was secretly worried about how to let them search Butcher Zhang's house so that the dark room would be exposed.

I saw someone among the people who came to join in the fun shouting: "Why is there so much blood? I said Butcher Zhang, you didn't kill the pig in the pig pen and drag it all the way here, right?"

Everyone looked at the ground. Sure enough, there was a long blood trail and traces of dragging. However, they looked at the bench where the pig was tied and the shaved pig. There was no drag on it. There is not so much dirt on the scratches.

Even after cleaning, there is no muddy water next to it, which is a bit strange.

Qingyan used her spiritual consciousness to look at the person who had just shouted. She was a little speechless. If it wasn't Chouchou, then who could it be? Although the person it transformed was very ordinary and popular, Qingyan still recognized it at a glance. There was no way that its little movements were too obvious. , he likes to raise his eyebrows and smack his teeth after he speaks.

Qingyan didn't expect it to be so direct. It didn't involve reporting and frame-up. It directly exposed the pig pen. As long as the official went to investigate, the problem could be found.

After all, Butcher Zhang and his son were not masters of mechanisms. The entrance to the darkroom was actually quite rough, just under the hay in the pig pen, but most people would not go in and pull away the hay to check.

While everyone else was looking at the blood on the ground, an official suddenly looked at Butcher Zhang and his son, and saw the confusion and fleeting panic on their faces.

Because they didn't know where the blood on the ground came from, and it led to the pigsty. There was a secret there that they tried their best to hide, and they were afraid that if it was exposed, could they not panic now?

The official noticed this strange thing and quickly winked at the official next to him. The other official understood and led the people directly towards the back.

The official who discovered the problem stared closely at Butcher Zhang and his son. When he saw that they were about to follow him, he asked the helpers who had followed him to control them.

Two people controlled one and held the father and son down firmly. Seeing their struggle, they even tied them up with pig-tying ropes.

His wife and children were also detained to prevent them from escaping or getting in their way.

Those who followed the blood stain to the back soon discovered the problem. Chou Chou even used the blood stain to guide them, and even helped to pull the hay apart. A corner of the wooden door at the entrance was exposed. If they couldn't find it, then I really have nothing to say.

Sure enough, the five people who went to the back immediately discovered the secret room. An official came back to report. It seemed that the remaining official was the leader.

The official who came back from behind said that another official had already taken people down, and another one was waiting outside.

Butcher Zhang and his son were discouraged when they heard it. It was over, it was all over. As long as someone discovered what was inside, they would die.

That's not the end yet. Chou Chou was worried that the officials and the others would not be able to find out the gold and silver under the bed. After the bones were discovered, when they searched the house, they directly used their spiritual consciousness to lead someone to find the secret compartment under the bed.

This only happened in a short period of time. When Butcher Zhang and his family were taken away and an official went to the county government to report, Qingyan and the others had walked less than ten miles.

Qingyan admired Chou Chou's efficiency in doing things. Of course, if they didn't have spiritual consciousness, they probably wouldn't have been able to discover this. It is estimated that no one would know about it until Butcher Zhang was dead.

As for the later results, Qingyan couldn't see it, so she could only wait for Chou Chou to come back and tell her.

The weather is very good this morning, and the sun is very bright. However, the stronger the sun is in the morning, the more careful you have to be. The more likely it is to rain in the afternoon, because the water vapor has evaporated up in the morning and will fall down in the afternoon.

At this time, Qingyan and the others were walking to a bamboo forest. Qingyan always felt that the forest was too quiet. It was not winter, so there must be at least the chirping of insects and birds.

Now let alone the chirping of insects and birds, there was almost nothing except the sound of the carriage's wheels rolling on the dead branches, and no one among them spoke subconsciously.

In addition to Qingyan and her four vehicles, there were also two ox-carts traveling on the same road, following behind them.

Qingyan withdrew her consciousness from looking at Changshou Town, and spoke directly to Huang Jin. Huang Jin had already noticed it, and its animal intuition was no worse than Qing Yan's.

"I just noticed it as soon as I entered the forest. I put my consciousness out to take a look, but I didn't find anything wrong. There were no people ambushing me or ferocious beasts. It was like there were no animals at all in the forest."

Huang Jin sent a message to Qingyan.

Qingyan also probed out her spiritual consciousness, which was covering the forest. This forest was not in the mountains, but a dense forest of bamboos on both sides of the road. The area was not large, only about five or six acres of land, and the ground was very flat. It was not that Kind of ups and downs.

It is indeed too clean. It is said that such a large forest is artificially planted, and it will also attract many birds and small animals, such as bamboo rats. But in addition to bamboos and spring bamboo shoots on the ground, there are also weeds that have just sprouted. Not a single animal was seen.

If it weren't for the fact that it was almost noon, the sun was hanging in the sky, and the sky was getting darker, I would have thought I had entered a ghost forest.

Qingyan asked Huang Jin to slow down and wait for Chen Jinshi and Xia Xinman who were walking behind to come forward. They often walked this road and should know something.

As a result, when Chen Jinshi's carriage was walking side by side with theirs, Uncle Chen, who was driving the carriage, looked at them. The sun was good, so Qingyan was now sitting in front of the carriage holding Yuan Bao.

Qingyan was just about to talk to Uncle Chen when she saw Uncle Chen shaking his head at them, then passing their car and walking to the front. Qingyan suppressed her words again.

It wasn't until half an hour later that they walked out of the woods, and Qingyan saw in her consciousness that everyone was relieved.

She looked at everyone again in confusion, what was going on?
After leaving the forest for a mile, Uncle Chen drove the car towards an open space on the side and stopped directly there. Huang Jin also followed the car with the car, and then found that besides them, there were two cars following behind. The bullock cart also turned in and stopped not far away.

Huang Jin jumped out of the car and helped Qingyan down who was holding Yuan Bao. They walked to Uncle Chen and Chen Jinshi who had already gotten off the car. Before they could ask, Uncle Chen said, "We thought you knew. Don't talk when passing by the silent bamboo forest, otherwise you will get lost in it. It's okay during the day, as long as you don't talk, but don't even enter at night, you will definitely encounter ghosts and won't be able to get out until dawn. "

Qingyan and the other three looked confused, and Huang Jin said: "What's going on? We have never been here before. We all followed the direction we knew before. There are many places on this road that we don't know. Uncle Chen, you and us Let’s talk about it.”

I didn’t expect this bamboo forest to have such a situation, and the name is also interesting, Buyu Lin. As the name suggests, you can’t talk in the forest.

Xia Xinman and Xiao Qingfeng also came over. Uncle Chen took down the bench from the car's shaft for them to sit on. Xia Xinman and Huang Huang also went back to their car and took down the bench.

After everyone sat down, Uncle Chen said: "This Buyu Forest has been here for hundreds of years. Ever since I can remember, I have heard from an old man in my family who often goes out that there is such a strange forest.

Passing by this bamboo forest is okay in winter, and you can pass easily at night. But it is no longer possible in spring. In spring, summer and autumn, as long as you enter the forest at night, you will get lost in it and you will not be able to get out until dawn. Come.

But this bamboo forest is not big, and there is only one official road. As long as you don't turn back, it is impossible to go in the wrong direction, so everyone thought it was a ghost at work, so someone reported the matter to the government.

The government once asked a Taoist priest to come over. After the Taoist priest came, he performed rituals, but it had no effect. Even when performing rituals at night, the Taoist priest was trapped inside.

At first, I thought that the Taoist priest was not good at learning and his cultivation level was too low, so he changed to a famous Taoist temple and invited all the temple masters, but it still had no effect.

The temple owner said that the soul of a big demon was suppressed in the bamboo forest. Because of the passage of time, the suppression formation had become loose, and only some demon power escaped. It was so powerful that they were no match at all, and suggested that the official path be changed.

But there are deep pits on both sides of the bamboo forest, and the smoothest path is through the forest. There is no choice but to continue to use this official road. "

Xia Xinman, who was next to him, also said: "Every time the two of us walk this way, we are terrified, fearing that we will just catch up with the soul of the big demon breaking through the formation, but this is the only way to go, and there is no way around it. , it’s really scary.”

Qingyan, Huang Huang, and Yuanbao all frowned. They began to hear that they couldn't talk in the woods, otherwise they would lose their way, and they would encounter ghosts hitting the wall at night. Only in winter when everything was fine, she thought for a moment whether It could be that those bamboos or other plants inside are poisonous.

It's the kind of toxin that can emit aerosols. People can inhale it just by talking, which can directly cause mental disorder, hallucinations and so on.

Especially the grass inside. Those grasses die in winter, so there is no impact.

But after hearing this, they had asked Taoist priests, and even famous Taoist temple masters. You must know that medicine is not divided into families, and medicine and poison are not separated into families. If it is because of poisonous gas, it is impossible not to see it.

She even saw that the soul of a big demon was suppressed there, so it might be this problem. She had encountered it several times in this world, and she wouldn't be surprised if she encountered it again this time.

I just don’t know what kind of monster it is. Why doesn’t it let anyone talk? It also likes to make people get lost and wander around in it, but it doesn’t harm anyone. It sounds a bit naughty, like a child playing a prank.

Qingyan, Huang Jin, and Yuan Bao are not proficient in battles, so they can't tell anything. They can only ask Chou Chou and Jin Yang for help. Fortunately, they are not far from here, and they can send messages to them. If they are far away, , we can only wait for them to take the initiative to contact us.

You should be able to see this distance with your spiritual sense over there, so you don't need to make a special trip.

Qingyan sent a message to Chou Chou and told her about the location and situation. Chou Chou said he understood. She and Jin Yang would use their spiritual senses to investigate and tell her what the situation was.

After saying this, Qingyan and the others started to cook. It was already 12 noon, and they happened to have lunch here.

Apparently the two bullock carts behind thought so too. While they were talking here, the fire had been raised over there, and soup and dry food were being roasted on the fire.

People here prefer to drink soup. Even outside, if possible, they will cook a pot of soup and eat it with dry food.

Qingyan and the others also made a makeshift stove, set up a pot and filled it with water. Qingyan went to the car to get some dried kelp, which they had bought on the boat docked at the dock.

Almost all the fruits from before have been eaten, and only these dried seafood are left.

Tear the kelp into small pieces, wash it, just boil it directly without soaking it. Put a tube bone bought in Changshou Town inside to prepare a pot of kelp bone soup.

Then put the sesame cakes you bought before and bake them on the fire for a while, then eat them with the braised pork and pickles.

After eating, they strolled for a while before getting on the road. They mainly went behind a tree not far away for convenience. Qingyan and the others didn't go there. They could go into the space at any time to solve the problem.

Halfway through the meal, Chou Chou sent a message to Qingyan, saying that there was indeed a formation in the forest that suppressed a snake demon. It was not the soul of the snake demon at all, but the real snake demon itself.

That snake has been around for hundreds of years and has a thin bloodline of dragons. It may be related to the dragon that destroyed the Gui Yi Sect and escaped two thousand years ago. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

That snake had never done any evil, nor was it cruel. It was because of its bloodline that it entered cultivation. The reason why it was suppressed was because it met a Taoist priest who had just left the Taoist priesthood. It was when his blood was rising that he saw Monsters must fight. Regardless of whether they have done evil or not, if they think they are not of my race, their minds will be different.

As a result, he was no match for the snake demon and was directly injured. The Taoist priest was not willing to accept it, so he went back and invited his master. His master saw that the snake demon had not done any evil, but his disciple was afraid that he would offend it. It takes revenge, after all, snakes are very vengeful.

Of course, he was also afraid that his disciple would arouse its ferocity and that it would cause harm to the world in the future and bring karma to him, so he set up a formation to suppress it in this bamboo forest.

Originally, two or three hundred years had just passed, and the formation should have been fine. Didn't I come here later to practice the official way, which destroyed some of my formation, so the snake demon's demonic power could detect the formation. Then there was the legend of the Silent Bamboo Forest for a hundred years.

In fact, it is just a boring prank of the snake demon. In winter, its snake instinct will fall into hibernation, and naturally it will not come out to torment passers-by.
