Chapter 165: It can only be understood but not expressed in words
At this time, another middle-aged man next to him said to him: "Dad, don't be too excited, let me talk to the immortal master!"
The old man also realized that it was not a good idea for him to do so, so he could only nod his head, agreeing to let his son speak.
Lin Changqing also nodded, this is the best.
The middle-aged man sorted out his thoughts and started to introduce: "Master Lin, this is what happened, about two months ago.
Normally, the hunter in the village would go into the mountains to hunt and come back on the same day, but he came out again two days later, so everyone speculated that he might have met with an accident.
They thought he might have encountered some ferocious beast, so they organized a large group of villagers to go into the mountains to search for him, but they did not find the hunter's body or any traces of the beast.
After searching for a while, there was still no result. There was nothing we could do so the matter was left unresolved.
Later, one after another, several hunters entered the mountains and never came out again. It even developed to the point that even if two or three people went into the mountains together, the result was the same: they went and never returned.
Because Tongshan Village is mostly mountainous, there are not many paddy fields and dry fields. Many villagers rely on hunting for a living. Now, no one dares to go into the mountains anymore, and the livelihoods of many families have become a problem.
So please, Master Lin, help us find out the reason so that we can go back into the mountains and hunt again!"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Changqing expectantly.
Lin Changqing frowned and asked, "Then didn't you go to find the nearby cultivators or immortal cultivation families?"
It was Chen Ziya's father who explained, "We looked for it first. We looked for the Liu family in Nanhe County, but they came to look for it several times and couldn't find the cause.
Later we found a way to contact the Immortal Master of Qingyun Sect and passed the news to Great Grandmother."
Lin Changqing knew it was not that simple. The villagers of Tongshan Village went into the mountains to hunt, referring to the outer area of the Qingyun Mountains. In this area where no monsters lived, there were basically only some ordinary animals.
The local monks have come to see it several times, but have not found the cause. This is obviously not something that ordinary animals like tigers and leopards can do.
It should be a high-grade monster. Lin Changqing guessed that this thing was either very good at hiding or had a high level of cultivation.
However, Lin Changqing is still confident that he can find it, of course this depends on Chuyi.
He said to several leaders in the village: "I already know what happened. I have a spiritual beast, the golden-winged bird. I will send it to look for it in the next few days. Then we will know what it is.
Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve the problem. Now everyone go back first, I will inform you when there is a result."
After saying this, in order to make the villagers believe, Lin Changqing walked out of the living room and summoned Chuyi who was flying in the sky.
In front of everyone, he gave it instructions, fed it a soul-nourishing pill, and let it go on the search mission.
The villagers saw Lin Changqing summon a majestic golden bird and ordered it to search for suspicious targets.
Everyone was relieved. Now they just had to wait for the results, and they all thanked Lin Changqing.
The old man wanted to host a banquet for Lin Changqing on behalf of Tongshan Village, but he was rejected by Lin Changqing, saying that he would talk about it after the problem was solved and asked them to go back first.
Everyone then left Chen Ziya's house contentedly under the leadership of the old man.
After seeing off these villagers, only Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya's father and eldest brother were left in the living room. Knowing that the family had not seen each other for so many years, they must have a lot to talk about.
So I took the initiative to ask them to arrange accommodation for me, and told them not to bother with me and that I would come to them if I needed anything.
Then he invited them back so as not to delay their family reunion. Lin Changqing still had some foresight. He went back to his room to rest. After all, he had been on the road for two or three days. But before resting, he took out the array of the small five-element maze array and arranged it around the room.
He then took out the first-level spirit gathering array plate that his grandfather had prepared for him, as well as the jade slip that explained how to set it up. After reading them carefully, he set up the spirit gathering array in the room.
Lin Changqing had to make preparations first. After all, he was planning to study the Five Elements Chaos Sutra here, so everything had to be arranged properly.
I released the Soul Seeking Rat Fur Ball again, but I didn't care about the Amethyst Scorpion. After all, it was too dangerous to release the Amethyst Scorpion in Chen Ziya's house! I'll wait until I officially start practicing the Chaos Sutra!
After all the commotion just now, it is now completely dark.
After persisting in practicing the Thunder Sutra for an hour and a half, and after making some arrangements, he released Xu Meiniang.
I enjoyed a free muscle massage, which also helped me relieve the fatigue from driving the flying boat for the past two or three days.
Half an hour later, after putting Xu Meiniang back into the spirit beast bracelet, Lin Changqing lay down to rest.
The next morning, after Lin Changqing completed his training as usual, he asked someone to invite Chen Ziya over.
Now the two of them were sitting opposite each other, and Chen Ziya was making tea for Lin Changqing.
Quietly appreciating Chen Ziya's tea art, it should be because of going home to reunite with his family. Lin Changqing felt that Chen Ziya was a little different today. How to say it! It felt like the sun was shining brightly.
But this is a good thing. Lin Changqing is very happy that Chen Ziya has undergone these changes. At least now she won't feel lonely anymore.
Maybe it was because her senior Kit Chan saw her problem and specially arranged for her to go home to visit her relatives!
"Brother, please have some tea!" He smiled at Lin Changqing and then handed a cup of green jade tea to Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing saw Chen Ziya's bright look and couldn't help but gently held Chen Ziya's hand with one hand and took the teacup with the other.
Although Chen Ziya had experienced this many times, she still blushed. Fortunately, Lin Changqing did not hold her hand for too long. He let her go and started talking about business.
"Junior sister, I already know about the problem in the village. I think it might be caused by a monster that is good at camouflage and hiding. I have sent Chuyi to search that area. I believe it won't take long to find it.
It just so happens that I have nothing to do these few days, so I would like to formally start practicing the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, which will probably take three to five days.
During this time, I will release the purple crystal scorpions to protect you. Please tell your family members not to get close to here to avoid being accidentally injured.
After the transformation is successful, I will come out naturally, don't worry. And if Chuyi finds the monster, you can't act on your own. You must wait until I come out of retreat before you can take action, understand?"
Chen Ziya nodded and chuckled, "Brother, don't worry. I won't go anywhere these days. I will stay at home with my parents and family, and protect you at the same time."
After hearing this, Lin Changqing laughed and said, "Junior sister is always so considerate, so I can switch to practicing new skills with peace of mind.
After finishing the business, the two of them drank tea and chatted. Chen Ziya mainly talked about the changes in her family after being away from home for ten years, including her eldest brother getting married and having children, and now giving her a nephew and two nieces.
And my elder sister is married too. She married in Nanhe County where they just passed by yesterday. Her brother-in-law is a scholar and has given birth to a son and a daughter. And so on...
Tell Lin Changqing about these more important things at home so that he can have a rough idea of what's going on. After all, to be the son-in-law of the Chen family, he must at least know the situation of his father-in-law's family!
This can be regarded as Chen Ziya's more tactful way of telling Lin Changqing her feelings. Of course, this is a tacit understanding between the two of them, which can only be understood but not expressed in words.
After finishing the spiritual tea, Chen Ziya said goodbye and left. Lin Changqing also activated the small five elements maze formation around the room, then fed the group of purple crystal scorpions in advance and placed them in the room to protect him.
There were also two cubs, Maoqiu and Xuanhu, for whom he had prepared soul-nourishing pills and monster meat in advance. Then Lin Changqing officially went into seclusion.
