"Uh...Old Zhang, get up quickly, get up quickly."

Gu Sheng was speechless and helped Zhang Wuye up with strength.

"Although I am not a member of the Zhang family, the safety of Shitou Village is my safety. It is God's will that the Heavenly Book can be returned to the Zhang family, and there is no need to perform this great gift."

After Gu Sheng said that Mr. Zhang Wu helped him up, he directly pulled him to the stool and sat down.

"hehe……"

At this time, Elder Shi suddenly smiled from the side and said, "It's great joy that Xiao Sheng can come back today."

"Sanxi?"

Ergou looked confused, and the others also didn't understand.

"Elder, I'm just back. How can I be so happy?"

Gu Sheng smiled and said.

"The first happiness is, of course, that you are back, Xiao Sheng. The second happiness is that Tianshu has returned to the Zhang family, and the treasure of Zhenzhai has been found in Shitou Village at the door. The third happiness is that the village near our radius has eliminated Chen Dabeard. This great trouble is caused by three joys.”

Elder Shi introduced to everyone word for word.

"Yes, yes, Sanxi..."

"Thanks to Xiao Sheng for these three joys. Otherwise, our Stone Village would have been in disaster long ago."

"Yes, it's all thanks to Brother Sheng."

Everyone in the meeting hall focused all the topics on Gu Sheng.

"Celebrating Brother Sheng tonight!"

"I agree!"

Brothers Shi Lou and Shi Shanlin suggested.

Then, others followed suit.

Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye also agreed and planned to reward Gu Sheng well.

Seeing how kind everyone was, Gu Sheng was too embarrassed to refuse.

After everyone dispersed, Gu Sheng, Zhang Wuye and Elder Shi stayed in the meeting hall.

Gu Sheng carefully took out a few pieces of raw ore the size of sycamore seeds from his arms and handed them to Mr. Zhang Wu.

The surface of this stone is rough, but it has a strange luster.

Just from the feel, it can be seen that they seem to contain some mysterious power.

Zhang Wuye took the stone and his eyes suddenly showed surprise.

He looked at it carefully for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.

"This...this is the Goblin Source Stone!"

There was a tremor in Mr. Zhang Wu's voice, and he was obviously shocked by the origin of this stone.

Elder Shi was also surprised when he heard this name.

He got closer and took a closer look, then nodded to confirm.

"Yes, this is the Goblin Source Stone, the legendary treasure of the Goblin tribe in ancient times. It contains huge energy."

When Gu Sheng saw the two people reacting so strongly, his heart tightened, and he quickly asked: "What is the origin of this Goblin Origin Stone? Why are you so surprised?"

"call……"

Zhang Wuye took a deep breath and calmed down.

"The Goblin Source Stone was the lifeblood of the Goblin tribe in ancient times. They lived deep underground and fed on the Goblin Source Stone. They were able to absorb the energy in it and develop powerful strength. These stones are treasures in the world. , each piece is worth ten kilograms of mineral concentrate!”

"What!"

When Gu Sheng heard this, he was even more surprised.

He didn't expect that the stone he casually obtained from the strange creature would have such great origins.

"Then will this goblin source stone be helpful to my cultivation?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Elder Shi nodded: "Of course, the energy contained in the Goblin Source Stone is extremely pure. If it can be used properly, it will naturally be of great benefit to practice. However, this Goblin Source Stone is extremely rare. Even in the ancient times, it was also a goblin The most precious treasure of a clan is difficult for ordinary people to obtain.”

"Xiao Sheng, how did you get these goblin source stones?"

Mr. Zhang Wu asked with a frown.

Gu Sheng then told in detail how he encountered strange creatures in the underground mines and how to kill them and obtain the goblin source stone.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang Wu’s face became more solemn.

He and Elder Shi looked at each other and seemed to understand something.

"The mine you mentioned is where the Qingxia Sect's spiritual veins are located."

"Yes, there are thousands of goblins guarding it. They value the goblin source stone very much. If they find out that you have taken the source stone, they will hunt you down at all costs."

Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye were talking to each other one by one.

After Gu Sheng heard this, he felt scared.

He was also glad that he escaped quickly, otherwise he would have been eaten alive by the goblins.

At the same time, he also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​destroying the Qingxia Sect's spiritual veins.

After all, the goblins there were numerous and powerful, and he couldn't deal with them alone.

"well……"

Elder Shi suddenly let out a long sigh.

Seeing Elder Shi's sad face, Gu Sheng felt something was on his mind, so he asked, "Elder, is there any problem?"

"Xiao Sheng, you were able to obtain the Goblin Source Stone from the Goblin, and it goes without saying that you are powerful. However, the appearance of the Goblin Source Stone may attract the attention of the Qingxia Sect. We must be careful in the future."

Elder Shi said what he was worried about.

"Yes, if they already know that we have the Goblin Origin Stone here, they will most likely organize a large number of disciples to search."

Mr. Zhang Wu nodded and counted.

"Don't worry, no one else knows, only the three of us."

Gu Sheng said seriously.

"Well, that's good."

Elder Shi nodded.

Then, Mr. Zhang Wu looked at Elder Shi, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

Immediately, Zhang Wuye said: "Xiao Sheng, this Goblin Origin Stone is very beneficial to cultivation. Since you have obtained it, absorb the energy inside. Don't take it out anymore. Put it away quickly."

"Um."

Gu Sheng nodded.

But as soon as Gu Sheng put away the Goblin Origin Stone, he felt a strange energy fluctuation.

"No, someone is eavesdropping!"

Gu Sheng quickly summoned up his divine power and chased in the direction of the energy wave.

At this time, Gu Sheng was like a gust of wind, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye also stood up at the same time and walked outside.

Here, Gu Sheng used his divine power, and his divine consciousness was like a big net, covering every inch of the surrounding space, trying to capture the weird energy fluctuations.

However, after chasing him for a certain distance, he found that the energy fluctuation seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace.

"Weird!"

Gu Sheng frowned and felt puzzled.

He knew that his perception was not wrong. That energy fluctuation did exist, but now there was no trace.

Looking around, I saw that everything in Stone Village seemed calm and normal, with nothing abnormal at all.

Soon, Mr. Zhang Wu and Elder Shi also rushed over.

Seeing Gu Sheng standing there in deep thought, they stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"Xiao Sheng, did you find anything?"

Zhang Wuye asked with concern.

Gu Sheng shook his head, his brows still furrowed: "No, after I chased him out, the energy wave disappeared, leaving no trace."

"This energy fluctuation comes and disappears strangely. We cannot take it lightly."

Elder Shi also said with a serious face.

"It may be that Xiao Sheng is too tired and his perception is biased. Go and rest first. Don't be too nervous. We are here to guard you. Everything will be fine."

Mr. Zhang Wu comforted him.

Although Gu Sheng still had doubts in his heart, seeing the two elders saying this, he nodded and decided to rest first.

He knew that if someone really sneaked into Stone Village, then the person must not be easy to deal with.

You must be in top condition to cope with possible crises.

Moreover, during this period, I did consume a lot of energy, and it is understandable that I have a perception bias.

Afterwards, Gu Sheng returned to his residence and began to adjust his breath and meditate, trying to calm down the uneasiness in his heart.

Slowly, Gu Sheng's mood gradually calmed down, and the divine power in his body gradually recovered.

As night fell, a bonfire was lit in Stone Village.

Ergou came to Gu Sheng's door and knocked gently a few times.

"Brother Sheng, our Stone Village is holding a bonfire party tonight. Everyone will gather together to eat meat, drink wine, sing and dance. Everyone is waiting for you!"

Ergou's face was filled with joy.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

When Gu Sheng heard Ergou calling him, he agreed and walked out.

The bonfire party was held in the open space in the center of the village. The blazing bonfire lit up the night sky and reflected the smiles on people's faces.

All the men, women and children in the village gathered together around the bonfire, sharing delicious food and joy.

Gu Sheng sat in the crowd, feeling the warmth and happiness.

He watched Ergou and other young people singing and dancing, and listened to the old people telling the history and legends of Stone Village, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging in his heart.

When the party reached its climax, the children in the village formed a circle and played games.

Gu Sheng participated in it with a smile, as if he had returned to the period when he was still in pain.

In this joyful night, Gu Sheng temporarily forgot the uneasiness of the day.

He laughed and sang together with the people in Shitou Village, enjoying the rare peace and happiness together.

However, he knew in his heart that this tranquility might not last long.

Especially that mysterious energy fluctuation, like a dark cloud, shrouded his heart.

Soon, the bonfire party came to an end.

It was also midnight.

At this party, Gu Sheng drank a lot of wine and walked a little dazedly.

"Ah! Someone come quickly!"

"Oops! There's a monster! There's a monster!"

"Moo..."

Suddenly, a panicked cry came.

Then, there was the painful scream of the old scalper.

When Gu Sheng heard this voice, he suddenly woke up from his drunken state.

"What's going on?"

Gu Sheng looked in the direction of the sound and rushed over immediately.

The night was dark, and the light of the bonfire gradually blurred in the distance.

Gu Sheng's drunkenness was diluted by the sudden scream, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

His pace quickened and he reached the source of the sound almost instantly.

"Sister-in-law Shi, what happened?"

Gu Sheng asked in a loud voice.

He saw that the Shilou family's cowshed had collapsed, with wooden beams and straw scattered on the ground.

Shilou's mother, Mrs. Shi, looked horrified and at a loss.

Mrs. Shi's face was pale and she leaned against the wall. She pointed at the bloody cow head on the ground with trembling fingers and stammered: "It's... it's a big black bear. It... it bit off the old scalper's neck in one bite and killed the old cow." The scalpers were dragged away!"

Gu Sheng squatted down and carefully observed the wound on the cow's head.

After observation, it was clearly the mark of being bitten off by some kind of beast.

It's not like the so-called black bear. After all, the bite angle of the black bear is not that big.

"Are you sure it's a big black bear?"

Gu Sheng raised his head and asked.

"Yes, I can see it clearly, it's the big black bear!"

Sister-in-law Shi said very firmly.

At this time, the mountain people from other villages also gathered around.

After understanding the situation, one person said with some confusion: "There can't be a black bear here, Sister Shi, are you wrong?"

"No, I saw that right. It looks like a black bear, and... and it looks a bit like a human..."

Sister-in-law Shi shook her head and still insisted on what she saw.

"Like a human?"

Gu Sheng frowned, thinking of the energy fluctuations he felt during the day.

"Is it that monster?"

Gu Sheng made secret calculations in his heart.

He knew there had never been a black bear around here, let alone one that looked like a human.

"It's true, Mom Shilou, did you make a mistake while drinking?"

An old woman next to him also asked in disbelief.

"You read that right, it bit off the old scalper's neck in one bite, then dragged the old scalper's body and left quickly."

Sister-in-law Shi's voice was trembling, obviously she hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

Everyone couldn't help but take a breath after listening to Mrs. Shi's words.

An old scalper weighs several hundred kilograms at least and can be easily dragged away. This is definitely not something that ordinary beasts can do.

"It must be a monster of interest."

A mountain man whispered.

Gu Sheng stood up and sighed slightly.

At this time, Zhang Wuye also rushed over, "Xiao Sheng, what does it look like to you?"

Gu Sheng shook his head: "I can't tell, I think it might be a tiger or a hungry wolf in the mountains. As for the big black bear that Mrs. Shi said, I don't think it is possible."

"Oh! Why don't you believe me?"

Sister-in-law Shi was a little anxious.

"Mom Shilou, it's not that we don't believe you, but this is not a trivial matter."

Mr. Zhang Wu said with a serious face.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'm going to check on the situation. Sister-in-law Shi, you go and rest first. We will take care of this matter."

Gu Sheng comforted.

Sister-in-law Shi nodded.

At this time, her body was still shaking slightly, and it was obvious that her emotions had not completely calmed down.

"Xiao Sheng, be careful!"

Zhang Wuye ordered.

"Well, don't worry!"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the night.

Then, Master Zhang Wu turned around and said to the other mountain people: "Everyone, be more vigilant and don't go out alone at night. If anything happens, everyone will help!"

"OK!"

The mountain people nodded.

At this time, Shilou was carried back by his two companions.

When Shi Lou's mother saw her son was very drunk, she went up and grabbed his ear and shouted: "Lou'er, Lou'er, why did you drink so much? You almost couldn't see me!"

"Huh? What...what? You didn't drink, okay?"

Shi Lou asked drunkenly.

"Oh...you...get him into the house quickly."

Sister-in-law Shi sighed, looking very helpless.

On the other side, Gu Sheng blew along the remaining bloody breath for dozens of miles.

Gu Sheng secretly muttered in his heart: "It seems that dragging away the old scalper is not easy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to run so fast!" (End of Chapter)
