Merchant of the Underworld

Chapter 156: Molting into Adulthood

Finally, after struggling for a moment, Uncle Zhong gradually calmed down. After being silent for a few seconds, he started to cry loudly: "I remember, I remember! I did dig up an horn. The horn was placed in my house and attracted many strangers to look at it. Some people even paid a lot of money to buy it. But there was a voice that kept warning me not to sell it, not to sell it."

"In the end, someone bid up to one million, and I decided to sell the horn to him. But just as I was about to hand it over to him, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew, and the horn in my hand disappeared. , those strangers dispersed in a hurry, and then I fainted..."

"Then what?" The villagers looked at Uncle Zhong nervously.

Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Then I didn't remember anything. I really didn't remember anything..."

The villagers were furious and blamed Uncle Zhong for their family's death: "Damn it, it's all your fault."

Uncle Zhong held his head and knelt on the ground with a painful look on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have dug that thing."

Zen Master Baimei said: "Forget it, it's useless to blame him now. The most urgent thing is to find the horn first. Uncle Zhong, you should still remember where you dug the horn, right?"

Uncle Zhong nodded immediately: "I remember, it was at the foot of the mountain, in my family's wheat field. At that time, I wanted to open up a piece of wasteland."

Zen Master Baimei said: "Okay, let's go now. Who has soybeans? Everyone carries some soybeans with them and chews them when they are unconscious."

Soybeans are not hard to find. They are cereals after all, so the villagers went home to get them. One greedy guy even carried a sack of soybeans.

When the villagers went back to get the soybeans, Zen Master Baimei told us that things were going very smoothly. Now the wild dog spirit should no longer be able to influence the villagers' thoughts. Next, we must find a way to get the villagers to speak out unanimously. Full of hatred for wild dog spirits.

The stronger their telekinesis, the less able the wild dog spirit is to resist!

We nodded immediately.

Soon, the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, and then Zen Master Baimei asked Uncle Zhong to take us to the place where the horns were dug.

The surrounding fog is getting thicker and thicker, and basically no one can be seen beyond three meters. Zen Master Baimei asked the villagers to hold hands and never get separated.

When I came to Uncle Zhong’s wheat field, I found that the fog here was thicker than other places and I couldn’t see anything clearly.

In that thick fog, I seemed to be able to see many black shadows moving around. This makes me feel very strange. I can't see clearly the villagers standing next to me. How can I see those black figures clearly? This is really depressing.

I carefully pulled the corner of the T-shirt man's clothes and told the T-shirt man about this strange situation.

The man in the T-shirt seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. He drew out the Eight-sided Han Sword on his back and muttered something. Then the sword blade flashed with a blue light. The man in the T-shirt slashed it in the air, and the black shadows disappeared in an instant.

Then Zen Master Baimei asked the villagers to hold a soybean in their mouths. What we have to face next may be dangerous.

When the villagers heard what Zen Master Baimei said, they all became nervous and took a soybean in their mouths.

Zen Master Baimei walked up with a hoe, and I quickly took out a flashlight to shine next to it. Although it couldn't penetrate the layers of fog, it was somewhat effective.

After asking Uncle Zhong for the specific location, Zen Master Bai Mei started digging with his hoe.

Most of the foothills were soil and there were very few gravels, so Zen Master Baimei dug quite smoothly.

Uncle Zhong told us in detail the details of digging out the horns that day.

That day, he dug along the foot of the mountain and dug less than one meter when his shovel hit something hard. At first he thought it was a rock, so he didn't take it seriously and continued digging in.

After digging twice, a dark cave was suddenly dug out, and the horn was placed in the cave.

The moment he saw the horn, he felt that the thing seemed to have a strong magical power, which made him abandon all thoughts and wanted to take the horn home, even leaving the shovel behind.

While he was talking, the hoe in Zen Master Baimei's hand hit a hard object with a 'dong' sound.

The crowd immediately cheered: "Dig it!"

The man in the T-shirt scolded: "Stop talking, if you alert that thing, none of you will be able to leave."

The crowd instantly fell silent.

I stared carefully at the place where Zen Master Baimei dug.

I clearly saw that it was a hole. The hole didn't seem to be deep, and the opening was so small that it could only allow an adult's head to poke in.

From the outside, nothing could be seen inside. Zen Master Baimei was not eager to observe the situation in the cave, but carefully dug the surrounding soil.

Surrounding the cave, there were many stones densely packed, and the scale was very large.

Zen Master Baimei asked several villagers who brought farm tools to join the excavation army, and asked them to dig along the stones near the entrance of the cave bit by bit without disturbing the original structure!

After digging for more than half an hour, the 'stone building' was finally revealed in front of us.

And when we saw the whole "stone building" clearly, we were all dumbfounded!

It was actually a small courtyard made of stones. The courtyard was very small, but its proportions were very similar to those of courtyards where humans live. I saw that in the huge courtyard, there was a main house, a side house, and a toilet.

They are all made of stones, and these stones are stuck with something unknown. They are extremely strong, small and delicate.

Everyone was stunned, not only surprised but also afraid. What kind of thing could actually build such a complicated small courtyard...unless it was a human being.

But there shouldn’t be any villagers doing this, right?

Zen Master Baimei said: "Amitabha, is there a benefactor working here to build this thing that absorbs the brilliance of the sun and the moon?"

The villagers shook their heads.

I asked Zen Master Baimei in confusion, how come this thing absorbs the brilliance of the sun and the moon?

Zen Master Baimei explained: "This place is called the eye of the mountain. It is the part of a mountain that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon. Houses cannot be built in this kind of place, otherwise it will not only affect the animals and plants on the mountain to absorb the brilliance of the sun and moon, but also forcefully absorb the brilliance of the sun and moon." Follow the aura contained in the mountain itself until

Until this mountain becomes a death mountain! Villagers, vegetation, birds and animals within a radius of dozens of miles will be affected. "

"What's even more amazing is that the things living here have forcibly absorbed the spiritual energy of this mountain, so over time they will inevitably become spirits! They may be mountain gods who protect the mountain, or they may be monsters that harm people. Now look Come on, all the spiritual energy here has been sucked away by a wild dog..."

"And wild dogs are originally violent animals. Due to their nature, they will not become gods, but monsters. The horns are the things that are contained in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and are used by the wild dog spirits. If we can find the horns, Naturally, I can suppress the wild dog spirit’s ability and easily subdue it.”

The villagers were stunned when they heard this. They probably didn't expect that they had been neighbors with a wild dog spirit for such a long time, right?

The villagers all believed it and begged Zen Master Bai Mei to save them and to find the wild dog spirit.

Zen Master Baimei repeatedly said that everyone can rest assured that as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to deal with the wild dog spirit.

And I asked Zen Master Bai Mei in a low voice, who built such a building? Could it be that the wild dog spirit built it himself?

Zen Master Baimei smiled at me: "The answer lies in that cave."

After saying this, Zen Master Baimei pointed with his hand.

The man in the T-shirt leaned down, put his hand into the hole, and finally pulled something out and threw it to the ground.

My eyes immediately focused on it, and when I saw it, I couldn't help but take a breath.

It turned out to be a piece of dog skin. The surface of the dog skin was yellow, and the hair was almost gone. It was very complete. Even the skin on the four legs was also very intact. It felt like... like a golden cicada shed its shell.

And the skin is very smooth, almost as good as human skin.

Zen Master Baimei walked up carefully, touched the dog's skin with his hand, and sighed: "No matter how much the beast wants to become a human, he will still be a beast after all!"

I didn’t understand the meaning of Zen Master Baimei’s words, so I asked him quickly. Zen Master Baimei told me that the wild dog spirit was trying to become human, so it was shedding its skin little by little. However, no matter how much it looks like a human, it cannot walk upright and becomes a beast that is neither human nor ghost.

In order to be more human-like, it even built such a courtyard with its own hands. But how can a wild dog learn all human wisdom? Although this small building is a high imitation of human architecture, it is just a bunch of toys.

My sense of human superiority was lost.
