I dug the grave of the God of War

Chapter 264 Ancient House

Come out of the town hospital.

Wu Luoyang and Du Surui did not return to the B&B in the town immediately, but drove around every corner of the town.

The evil spirit of the Scorpio star has already infected the hospital. It is impossible that it has not left clues in the town. It must be that they did not notice any omissions.

The town of Taoyuan was not that big. Du Surui drove around slowly for more than an hour, but did not find anything strange.

There is an ancient house in the southeast corner of the town.

The green bricks outside the ancient house are covered with withered yellow ivy leaves. Because it has been unoccupied for many years, the gray solid wood door is closed tightly, and half of the door is broken. Looking in through the gap, you can see the overgrown weeds in the courtyard inside. It looked a bit dilapidated again.

There are two words engraved on the dark plaque at the gate. The ancient wooden plaque also has some signs of failure.

"Jail."

Wu Luoyang whispered.

The ancients called it "jail". As the name suggests, it was a place dedicated to imprisoning prisoners.

In other words, here's the ancient town's prison.

The car stopped on the side of the road. Du Surui held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his upper body slightly and looked at Wu Luoyang in the back seat: "Is it possible that the Xingsha hides during the day and only comes out to be active at night?"

The sun near noon is too sunny, and demons and evil spirits do not dare to appear, unless it is a dark place where the yin is very strong.

Wu Luoyang held his chin with his left hand and thought for a moment.

"Let's go to the mountain passes everywhere."

Looking at the peaceful ancient house in front of him, Wu Luoyang felt a very uneasy emotion surge in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

After hearing her words, Du Surui immediately started the car and drove straight ahead, leaving the center of the town and turning to the pass at the mountain pass from each village up the mountain.

There are officers on duty guarding the mountain passes in each village. Anyone who wants to go up the mountain will be advised to leave.

I don't know how long it took, but the sun above their heads had tilted slightly to the west, and their stomachs couldn't help but growl.

"I ran around all morning and didn't find anything at all."

Du Surui smacked his lips, glanced at the time on his watch, raised his eyes to the rearview mirror in the car, and said, "Shall we go back? If not, can we go out for a walk when the moon rises at night?"

"Ah."

Looking at the dark forest not far away, Wu Luoyang no longer insisted, and Du Surui started the car again and drove towards the town.

Ding-dong-

There is a message coming in on the phone.

Wu Luoyang opened the message and looked at it. It was sent by his master Wu Leiting.

The master said that the Eight Diagrams Mirror showed that the Scorpio Star Evil had appeared in the world, and the black cloud of evil energy was over Taoyuan Town, so she must be more careful.

In addition, senior brother Wu Fengxing and senior sister Wu Baiyun also informed in the group that they would come from Citong City to Taoyuan Town to join her early tomorrow morning.

Knowing this news, Wu Luoyang's troubled mood calmed down a little.

The car drove back to town.

Du Surui looked for food first, and he didn't even look for it. He had been to the farm before, and they had been dining here for the past two days and had almost become regular customers of the boss.

Ever since the farm owner learned from his son that Wu Luoyang and Du Surui were guests invited by the mayor to help the villagers eliminate evil spirits, the farm owner and his wife were very hospitable to them. Two extra homemade delicious side dishes are included as a bonus.

Wu Luoyang and Du Surui chose a seat facing the street and sat down by the window. Soon, the farm proprietress brought out the dishes they ordered, as well as a small plate of refreshing sweet and sour radish strips and a small plate of sauerkraut as usual. Silk.

"Thank you, boss lady."

Wu Luoyang smiled lightly and thanked him repeatedly.

Although they are two inconspicuous homemade side dishes, they are a heartfelt contribution from the boss and his wife, and they should be grateful and thanked.

The lady boss smiled and waved her hands, indicating that it was nothing.

When Wu Luoyang asked about the ancient house on the outskirts of the town, the landlady's face changed, and then she told them seriously that the place was so evil that the elderly would not be allowed to go near it.

In order to prove how evil it is, the proprietress also used a legend circulated in the town to describe what happened there in a vivid and colorful way. Those who didn't know it thought it was a scare.

There are figures walking around the door, and tourists come in to dine. The landlady hurried over to greet the customers, stood by with a notebook, introduced the dishes to the customers, and quickly recorded the menus ordered by the customers.

"Madam boss, what kind of special soup do you have?"

After ordering the main course and side dishes, the customer couldn't make up his mind when ordering the soup.

For tourists coming from out of town, the proprietress will naturally recommend the famous local red mushroom stewed chicken soup, which is not only delicious but also nutritious and rich in minerals.

"Then let's have chicken stew with red mushrooms."

After listening to the boss lady's introduction, the customer readily took the menu.

“Boss lady, what’s your mushroom price this year?”

The customer became interested and asked one more question casually.

"Russula, the price is not bad."

The landlady's business was good today, so she happily replied: "People from outside usually come to receive goods for a few hundred per catty, and the ones with better quality can cost more than a thousand per catty."

"Wow, the price of these red mushrooms is so high?"

Customers are surprised.

"It's not too high."

The proprietress explained that the production of red mushrooms was particularly low due to lack of rain this winter, and it takes several kilograms of raw mushrooms to produce one kilogram of dry food.

On weekdays, villagers go up the mountain and can't pick up more than a few kilograms of red mushrooms. Therefore, the price is a little higher than in previous years.

When a customer asked about it, the proprietress was a good business person, so she would naturally recommend good things when she had the opportunity: "If you want to buy it, I happen to have winter red mushrooms that were just harvested this year. All the people who come to the store to eat are friends. I will give them to you." You are considered to have a better discount than those dry goods stores."

"Okay, that's okay."

After hearing what the proprietress said, the well-dressed customers also said that when they came to Taoyuan Town, they naturally had to prepare some special red mushrooms to take back to their families to try.

After a while, the landlady happily carried the menu into the back room and prepared to go.

Gee!

Du Surui picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with chopsticks and was secretly speechless.

No wonder, the local villagers knew that there was danger in the mountains, so they kept digging into the mountains to pick up fungi regardless of the danger to their lives. It turns out that these red mushrooms are so valuable!

Wu Luoyang frowned slightly.

Thinking of something, she asked Du Surui: "Tomorrow is the day that Mother Lin and the farm proprietress agreed to go up the mountain to collect mushrooms, right?"

Mentioning this, Du Surui glanced sideways at the farm proprietress in the kitchen in the back room.

Replying to her: "What? Are you still worried? Now there are people on duty at every village and mountain crossing. Even birds can't fly in. We are afraid that they will go into the mountains to pick up fungi!"

Putting down the chopsticks in his hands, Wu Luoyang stared into his eyes and asked without answering: "What if they don't take the mountain pass?"

"Then do they have special functions?"

Du Surui gestured with his hands, "Like me, the talisman flies and swoops in? Don't worry, you have to believe in the official power!"

This seems to be true.

Wu Luoyang silently rolled his eyes at him.

At present, no abnormality has been found after checking everywhere. It seems that Du Su Rui is right. Perhaps, we have to wait until night falls and the moon reaches the top of the mountain to find its traces.

After dinner, the two returned to the B&B in the town.

Du Su Ruilai was practicing and comprehending the Earth Yuan Qi skill in Wu Luoyang's room. In his words, people are at their most vulnerable when practicing cultivation. If evil spirits invade and no one protects them, their lives will be at risk.

"How can we talk about our relationship as classmates? You can be regarded as half of the master that I brought in through Qi Lianqi. You can't just let it go, right?"

Du Surui smiled playfully and sat cross-legged. He had already condensed the earth energy and started to circulate the air flow in the meridians of his body.

Wu Luoyang bit his lip, raised his hand, and nodded at him from the air.

He was so blocked that he had nothing to say.
