The Taoist Priest of the Supernatural World

Chapter 121: Strange Events in the Mountains
The next day, after getting up early and having breakfast, Uncle Jiu took Qiu Sheng and pushed Song Feng's wheelchair, heading towards Gaoshan Town:

"Seventh Uncle, this Gaoshan town is located in the mountains and the population is very sparse. You may need to walk up next..."

Standing beside a rocky mountain path, Qiu Sheng then looked at the road helplessly.

The road is so broken, and it becomes increasingly difficult to walk on the mountain. It is impossible to push a wheelchair up there.

After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Song Feng stood up from the wheelchair and walked forward a few steps with his cane:

"Since the wheelchair is not convenient from now on, let's just walk up. I'm not at the point where I can't move..."

Watching his seventh uncle walking on the rugged path with a cane, Qiu Sheng looked at the wheelchair in his hand, then scratched his head subconsciously:
"Looks like I need to ask Xiaoyu for help to see if it can be modified further. A wheelchair that can't go up the mountain is not convenient..."

Keep going.

Since Gaoshan Town can be called a town, it is naturally impossible that all the villagers are hiding in the mountains and there is no specific place.

To be honest.

Although Gaoshan Town is relatively poor, there are many people gathered in one of the river valleys.

That place is called a mountain town.

It’s just that the many villages affiliated to Gaoshan Town are scattered all over the country, so it’s a bit troublesome now.

Arrived near Gaoshan Town.

When Qiu Sheng saw the river flowing from afar and the wisps of green smoke, he felt a little relieved:
"After walking for such a long time, I finally have some popularity. It's really not easy..."

When it comes to this, Qiu Sheng is also a little confused about why Zhegu chose this place as his dojo:
"Obviously, Yumi Town is the best place, with lots of people, money and great conditions. Why did Master Uncle choose a mountain town?"

"Gaoshan Town is located deep in the mountains and has a small population. It must have many rules and be extremely exclusive. Building a temple here would be a thankless task no matter how you think about it..."

Listening to Qiu Sheng mumbling here, Uncle Jiu slapped him on the forehead, then snorted coldly and said:
"Since Miss Zhe chose this place, she must have her reasons. How could you be so stupid as to talk nonsense here?"

"Don't waste any more time talking and go explore the way ahead. It's already noon now. Ask your uncle to cook more food for us!"

After receiving another loving slap from his master, Qiu Sheng nodded aggrievedly, then carried his wheelchair and ran towards Gaoshan Town:
"Okay, Master, I'll go right away."

Seeing Qiu Sheng running towards Gaoshan Town, Uncle Jiu took a serious look at the nearby mountains and said:
"I've only heard about Gaoshan Town before, but I've never been there. I didn't expect the mountains and forests here to be so steep."

"Located deep in the mountains, I'm afraid this mountain town is much more special than outside the mountains!"

Looking around, there are mountains in all directions, but many of the mountains and forests appear extremely steep, like bamboo shoots.

Such terrain is very extraordinary. Under the natural changes of heaven and earth, such terrain can be regarded as a land of creation.

No wonder ghosts and gods want to be born into the world through this place!
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Song Feng nodded, and seemed to see some special aura vaguely:

"Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. There are always more rules in the mountains and forests, and mountain spirits and ghosts are naturally not difficult to see."

"But according to my observation, there doesn't seem to be any strange changes in this Gaoshan Town, and I can't find the location of the ghost for a while."

"It looks like we have to stay here for a while to help your junior sister suppress the evil spirits in this place..."

In mountains like these, naturally, due to the special environment, various beliefs or worship of ghosts and gods will arise.

However, this kind of ghost worship, or offerings to mountain spirits and monsters, is mostly extremely distorted and bloody.

It's not to the point of destroying mountains and cutting down temples.

However, most of the successful Taoists, if they choose a place as a Taoist temple, will definitely find a way to destroy the evil ghost temples nearby.

There are no Taoist masters to suppress this mountain town, so it can naturally be considered a wild place.

Now that Zhe Gu has come here, we must give her some trouble.

This is no simple matter!

Just as Qiu Sheng said just now, in a town like this deep in the mountains, there are many rules and it is very xenophobic.

After hearing what Uncle Seven said, Uncle Nine nodded solemnly, and seemed a little dissatisfied with the environment here:

"No wonder Zhe Gu came back here in such a hurry. It seems that the environment here is even more severe than I imagined."

"There are demons, ghosts, and monsters. If there are a few more evil cultivators and demons, then we will have all the demons and monsters..."

I have to say, it is quite unique that such a complete collection of things can be gathered together in an environment like Gaoshan Town.

"From the current situation, the night in Gaoshan Town must belong to the world of ghosts..."

Even though he didn't have the ability to see through the sky, he could tell that the atmosphere here was weird, and for a moment he couldn't help but worry about his junior sister.

He didn't expect that there would be such a place near his dojo. If he had known earlier, he should have taken his peach wood sword and taken a look around in advance.

After taking a look at the general environment, Song Feng nodded, then walked slowly towards Gaoshan Town with his crutches:
"Let's go. Now that we are in the town, we should see what the rules are in this town."

"I am also a little curious about where the evil spirits in this town came from..."

A town like this one, located in the south and deep in the mountains, is basically difficult to be controlled by the imperial court.

In a vast mountain like this, if you throw tens of thousands of people into it, there would be basically no chance of even a bubble emerging.

Who knows what's in this mountain?
Not to mention in this era, even if technology has developed to a certain level, some villages have not yet communicated with the outside world.

There are all kinds of things in the world, and this situation is very normal.

Hearing what Uncle Seven said, Uncle Nine nodded in agreement, and then the two of them walked along the road towards the village together.

Keep going.

You won't know until you see it, you will be shocked. There are so many graves on the road leading to Gaoshan Town.

Those graves look like abandoned graves, but with such a large number of them, it really gives people the feeling that this is a mass grave.

Looking at the graves one after another, even Uncle Jiu couldn't help but frown at this moment:

“Why did they build a grave on the roadside?”

Whenever a grave is built, a location with good feng shui must be chosen, and generally, attention is paid to the storage of wind and the gathering of energy.

Even those who don't understand Feng Shui will basically choose a location near beautiful mountains and forests to provide a good environment for their offspring.

But the roadside construction is a little different.

There is already a lot of evil spirits near the road.

If a tomb is built nearby, then the feng shui will basically be extremely bad.

This is totally against common sense!
At this moment, Song Feng, who had been leaning on a cane, showed a slightly meaningful smile. Then, he pointed at the distance with the cane and said softly:
"Look what's that in the distance?"

Seeing Seventh Uncle's gesture, Nineth Uncle raised his head and looked in the direction where Seventh Uncle's cane was pointing.

However, when he saw the scene in the distance, his frown deepened:
"It's actually an old dog that is about to die?"

As he looked around, he saw an old dog with gray hair and almost no energy left, coming to a grave as he watched.

That grave looks like a new one.

There were vaguely a few pieces of yellow paper pressing on the grave, as if it had been buried here not long ago.

As he watched, the old dog slowly came to the grave, then found a spot and began to dig quickly:
"Swipe!"

Although this old dog is running low on energy, it looks like he's nearing the end of his life.

But when he was digging the grave, he had an unexpected energy and joy, and even moved very quickly.

In a short while, a big hole was dug.

It would be fine if the old dog was somewhere else, but the problem is that this is a forest of graves.

An old dog digging a grave is a bad sign.

However, when he looked along the road, he could vaguely see several similar holes.

He even saw that there seemed to be half a leg bone hidden in one of the old holes. It was so weird.

"No wonder there has been no news coming out of Gaoshan Town. Many nearby villages are also very secretive about this town."

"I didn't expect this town to be so strange, and so confused about yin and yang..."

When he was analyzing the pros and cons of the towns with Zhe Gu, he was actually only analyzing the two towns of Yumi and Heyuan.

He had only heard of Gaoshan Town.

If it weren't for Zhe Gu's insistence on building the temple here and if it weren't for the message from the founder, he wouldn't even come.

After all, even for those of them who practice cultivation, it would take several hours to climb a mountain. He doesn't have the mentality of self-abuse.

After seeing the old dog digging the grave, Uncle Jiu's heart sank slightly.

This place is weirder than he imagined.

Listening to Uncle Jiu's words, Song Feng continued to move forward with his cane, as if he had already gotten used to such scenes:
"The customs and habits in some towns in the mountains are different from those outside, and they are not even consistent with the traditional culture of the Han people."

"Most of these villages and towns deep in the mountains have strange things hidden in them, and they may have strange heritages."

"It's just that I didn't expect there is such a peculiar town near Renjia Town. It really surprises me..."

When he said this, Song Feng looked at Uncle Jiu meaningfully, which made Uncle Jiu's face turn dark.

There is such a spooky place near the temple, it is indeed his fault.

While the two were chatting, they had already walked along this road and arrived in the town.

However, if the road into the town was strange, then the town itself seemed even stranger at this moment.

Look around.

All I saw in this town was that there seemed to be one or two coffins placed in front of and behind every house.

Moreover, this coffin was not supported by a stool to isolate it from the ground, but was completely in contact with the ground.

What's even worse is.

Most of these coffins are not empty coffins, some even have dead bodies inside.

If it was just a little weird before entering the town, then now it seems a little yin and yang:

“People and ghosts live together, this is a ghost village!”

When he said this, Uncle Jiu subconsciously took out a Bagua mirror from his waist and shone it towards the town:
"brush!"

A flash of light flashed.

Then, he saw that the sunlight shining into the bronze mirror in his hand was not as bright as outside the mountain.

At this point, Uncle Jiu no longer wanted to observe the town, and strode forward:

"Something is seriously wrong here!"

Watching Uncle Jiu striding forward, Song Feng shook his head, then sighed faintly:

"Young people need to practice more. If you don't go out and see more, and stay in the town all day, your horizons will not be broad enough..."

After expressing his feelings, Song Feng followed with the help of his rattan stick, not feeling at all strange about what had happened recently.

Walking into the village, they soon came to a courtyard that was extremely clean, with no coffins in front of or behind the houses.

Seeing this, Uncle Jiu nodded and walked straight into the house.

When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Zhegu, who was wearing a flowery dress and killing a chicken:

"Ahahahahaha... I didn't expect Lin Zhengying to come and see me on his own initiative. I'm so happy..."

While killing and plucking the chickens, Sugar Cane Girl laughed wildly.

Uncle Jiu, who had just walked into the village and was still a little worried, couldn't help but look dark when he saw that scene.

He shouldn't be so worried!
As they entered the courtyard, Zhe Gu also saw his figure, and then she said to Qiu Sheng:
"Qiu Sheng, hurry up and steam a few more bowls of rice. Let's cook a few more dishes for lunch today. Let your master and I have a few more drinks~"

When she said the last part, Zhe Gu couldn't help but smile, and her eyes turned towards Uncle Jiu with full affection.

Seeing this Zhe Gu who was exactly the same as in his memory, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but twitch his lips:
"Then you don't have to drink..."

He knew what Zhe Gu was planning. She had intended to get him drunk and make it a fait accompli.

He doesn't want to give her this opportunity!

After hearing Zhe Gu's shout, Qiu Sheng, who was busy cooking in the kitchen, called out from a distance:

"Okay, Uncle Master, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of an iron pan banging in the kitchen. It turned out that someone was really cooking.
