Chapter 141 Peeping
唰!
After Xu Heng finished speaking, he suddenly took two steps forward, jumped up high, and instantly reached the top of the courtyard wall with his hands, and stepped on the wall with his toes to take advantage of the force.
The whole person was like a vigorous cheetah, quickly running to the top of the wall, then turning over and falling steadily into the yard.
“Brother, you are awesome!” Liu Haizhu’s face was full of admiration again, and he was shocked.
“Brother, read more and learn more, and you can learn it in the future too!” Xu Heng patted Liu Haizhu on the shoulder and responded calmly.
"Okay, can I try it?" Liu Haizhu was eager to try it out on the spot.
“Forget it, let’s go to the treasure house first. The top priority is to seek justice for you!” Xu Heng said seriously.
When Liu Haizhu heard this, his heart warmed up and he was greatly moved.
My brother is so kind to me!
He scratched his head with a smile and continued to lead the way.
"Brother Ruan, I used to play hide-and-seek with my friends in the village, and I would be found by them every time. Then when I found this place, they never found me again." Liu Haizhu didn't forget to show off his glorious past as he walked. .
“It’s a pity that they were also taken away by the old village owner to become immortals. No one will play hide and seek with me in the future.”
“By the way, brother ruthless, there are many interesting things in the old village master’s treasure house. What should we get later?”
“I actually liked the little doll inside. It said it was called Ginseng and recognized the old village owner as its adoptive father, but I never saw it again.”
“There is also a talking box, and there seems to be a person living in it. He said he didn’t know where he came from and couldn’t remember anything. He only remembered that his name was Liu Dagou, and he actually had the same name as my immortal father.”
“The box also said that the old village owner was getting better and better with it. He used to torture it every day, but then he tortured it only once every two or three days.”
“But then I came to the box again and talked to it, but it ignored me.”
“I also told Guifen about these things, but she told me not to come again in the future.”
“Brother Ruan, it’s better if you are willing to play here with me.”
Walking all the way in, Liu Haizhu kept talking. He seemed to be in a good mood and really liked this place.
Xu Heng, however, became more and more frightened as he listened, and sighed secretly.
Perhaps fools are blessed. If they know less, they will naturally have less troubles.
Liu Haizhu's words revealed a lot of information.
The old village leader may have really gone crazy and arrested everyone in the village to refine waist elixirs in an attempt to become immortals.
Even the outbreak of pollution during the Qingming Festival may be related to the old village owner.
So that the entire village has almost become a ghost village. Not only are there few living people, but there are also some strange ghosts.
Or maybe the old village owner saw that there were too few living people and deliberately created something strange?
With all kinds of questions, Xu Heng followed Liu Haizhu and finally entered the house.
Liu Haizhu still did not go through the front door. Instead, he came to the back of the house, which seemed to be a room where sundries were kept. He gently opened a low window and leaned in.
Subsequently, after entering the house from the utility room, he went to a small room in the side hall and moved a water tank, revealing a secret passage leading underground.
"When I was hiding here secretly, I saw the old village master going down here. Later I also went in and found out that it turned out to be a treasure trove!" Liu Haizhu said excitedly.
Xu Heng frowned.
The moment the water tank was moved away, there was clearly a rotten and foul smell coming up from the secret passage.
"Brother Ruan, let's go down quickly." Liu Haizhu was very active and couldn't wait to go inside.
Xu Heng raised his eyebrows, covered his mouth and nose, and followed slowly.
This secret passage is very crudely built, with only a simple staircase paved with stones leading all the way to the ground.
The secret passage is not too long. After walking about five or six meters, we have reached the end.
Below is a dark, damp, and stinky secret room.
There were all kinds of strange objects scattered around, including **** boxes, pieces of rotten meat that were so rotten that they were black and covered with dead maggots, some cold white bones, and even a piece of skin hanging on the wall. The shape looked like It looks a lot like human skin!
What kind of treasure house is this?
It is clearly the crime scene of a perverted murderer!
"Brother, come on, this is the box I was talking about. It could talk before!" Liu Haizhu turned a blind eye to all this, and happily ran to a tin box and patted the lid.
The box only made a dull sound and did not speak.
Xu Heng saw that the box was locked, and the edges were stained with blood that had turned black and dried, and there were even some meat residue.
The box also stank, but this was only one of the sources of the stench.
"Brother, what treasure do you want to get?" Xu Heng suddenly lost interest.
I thought I could gain something, but I didn’t expect that the treasure trove in the eyes of the stupid brother turned out to be such a shabby place.
What bad luck!
"I...let me think about it." Liu Haizhu looked at the messy things on the ground and was suddenly in a dilemma.
kindness?
Xu Heng glanced around and suddenly discovered that there was something else going on in the secret room.
There is obviously a vacant space next to the wall near the iron box.
This seemed a bit special in the secret room, so he took another look, but unexpectedly saw a small gap in the wall.
It was obvious that it was a secret door.
Xu Heng immediately stepped forward and reached out to touch him gently.
“Click!”
As expected, the secret door was loose and could be pushed open.
An increasingly foul smell rushed towards me in an instant.
!!”
Xu Heng was stunned by the smell, which made his eyes sore. He quickly backed away and held his breath. "Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?" Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhu rushed over anxiously.
"It's okay." Xu Heng frowned and shook his head, directly raised his arm to cover his mouth and nose, and looked into the secret room behind the secret door again.
This secret room is obviously much smaller, one can see it all at a glance.
In the center of the secret room is an object similar to an alchemy furnace, with charcoal piled underneath!
The charcoal was in a burning state, and there was no open flame visible, but the high temperature was constantly baking the cauldron, and at the same time, the stench from the stove was forced out.
“Brother, there is something there.”
At this time, Liu Haizhu seemed to have discovered something and walked straight in.
"Brother, don't act rashly!" Xu Heng shouted helplessly and followed in.
Not far from the stove, there is a wooden table and a wooden stand next to the wooden table.
Liu Haizhu walked behind the wooden table, grabbed a shabby booklet, and said happily: "Brother, this is a book!"
“Show me.” Xu Heng stretched out his hand and took the booklet over.
The entire booklet is almost falling apart, and the cover page is also damaged, but the text on it can still be barely read, which reads "Becoming an Immortal".
Opening the book, it was like a ghostly talisman, filled with densely packed small characters, but there were also many words crossed out with a horizontal line, like a book recording experiments.
“To become an immortal, you must first become a demon. I checked countless ancient books and finally discovered that ‘demon’ is ‘waist’!” Xu Heng read the above paragraph casually and frowned.
Isn’t this a mental illness?
Can a demon be the same as a waist?
The old village owner is really crazy!
bang!
At this moment, a folded animal skin fell out of the book. It seemed to be quite old.
Xu Heng picked it up, opened it and looked at it, and was shocked on the spot.
There are also writings recorded on this skin, but judging from the handwriting, it is not the person who wrote the book.
The writing on the animal skin is very neat and clean.
But the things recorded inside are mind-numbing to read.
"A thousand waists forge an elixir, a hundred refinements will make you an immortal"
This is actually an ancient elixir recipe!
There are many weird and weird names of medicines recorded on it. One of the main medicines is actually a thousand kidneys!
When Xu Heng saw this, he immediately understood why the old village owner had turned the village into this.
He killed all the people in the village and took their kidneys to make elixirs.
Moreover, the prescription not only requires kidneys, but also other auxiliary drugs, which are also derived from some human bodies.
"Brother Ruan, what is in this book? I...I can't read." Liu Haizhu came forward and asked curiously.
“It’s nothing, it’s a mess, it’s nonsense.” Xu Heng shook his head and put away the animal skin.
This thing is terrible!
In addition to the introduction of the medicinal materials for the elixir, the method of refining the elixir is also introduced in detail.
In the process of alchemy, the alchemist's strength will also be greatly improved with the progress of Qianyao Dan.
With the radius of the alchemy furnace, all living beings can feel the blessings of Qianyao Dan, and their strength will be slightly improved.
Xu Heng immediately thought of the ghosts in the village, including the strength of Liu Haizhu and Liu Guifen.
According to what Zhou Yanan and the others said, when they came in, there was no third-level strength in the village.
Now the old village leader is comparable to a master, and Liu Haizhu has reached the third level...
This seems to mean that Danfang seems to be true.
But the medicine inside is too evil, very vicious.
Xu Heng felt that he should act righteously. Such evil things could not be left to the old village owner, let alone others, so as not to poison innocent people.
But at this moment, Xu Heng also became interested in the old village master's books again.
He wanted to see what this old madman had written.
Opening the book, Xu Heng ignored the content at the front and turned directly to the text at the back.
“Thousands of waists cast pills, I have collected 981 pills, only 19 pills are missing!”
"Those foolish people are actually hiding. They have hidden their waists. They are jealous of me and want to prevent me from becoming an immortal!"
“Hahaha, it’s useless. The ghost’s waist can also be used as medicine (cross it out).”
“No, the medicinal properties of Ghost Yao are too weak. Ten is equal to one. It is too slow. It is too slow.”
There is not much recorded on this page, and behind it is a bunch of scratched out graffiti that cannot be read clearly.
Xu Heng flipped through it and found that there were words on the last page.
From the ink stains, it is easy to tell that this page is the latest and should have been written not long ago.
“My hope of becoming an immortal is about to come true, hahaha!”
“Two uninvited guests sneaked into my immortal cave.”
“They discovered my alchemy room and threw themselves into a trap.”
“That person is looking through my manual and spying on my secrets. Hey, who knows...I am also spying on him!”
