When the Songling Mountains go south, you will enter the low hilly terrain. This is a buffer zone between the Ming Empire and the surrounding small countries. There are many castle villages and wild ghosts and monsters. Because the three are not in charge, it is very chaotic. People who are a little capable here either go south to the Ming Empire or go north to the Songling Mountain countries. Those who stay here are either extremely vicious or domineering.

"Young Master, it's not too early, there is a dilapidated village ahead. Why don't we take a break early?" Yiwujiuqi said, pointing to the road ahead.

This path has been abandoned, and half a person-high weeds cover most of the road. The most common footprints of wild animals are the footprints of people on the road, rather than human footprints. A heavily weathered stone tablet fell on the side of the road, and you can vaguely see the three big words "Guteng Village".

Zhang Ying nodded and walked towards the deserted village on the red tide. He had been away from the Songling Mountains for a month, and had not seen anyone along the way. He finally saw him today, but he was still a dilapidated village.

As we walked along the road, we saw the desolate and weedy fields. It seemed that we should have been abandoned for more than ten years. Keep moving forward and a wooden village appeared in front of him. The villages in the mountains all have walls, the worst is the earth wall, the slightly better is the wooden wall, and the best is the stone wall.

The walls of the village in front of me are made of wood, and it is obvious that the village is not bad either. The walls are surrounded by giant trees as thick as a person. Now some wood has died, with black fungus on it, while some wood has been re-rooted and grown, with branches and leaves growing on the branches, looking prosperous.

The dilapidated wooden door had long fallen to the ground, and the red tide crossed the wooden door and walked directly into the village.

Houses with civil structures are neatly arranged in the villages. Now most of the houses have collapsed. Only the ancestral hall in the center of the village is built with stones, and it is still standing there stubbornly. No matter what, the houses of our ancestors are the best...

Yiwu Jiuqi and a ghost walked into the ancestral hall first, and he wanted to clean it. Zhang Ying rode the red tide in the deserted village.

There was nothing in the collapsed house. Obviously, the village was abandoned by man, otherwise it would not have been emptied so clean. The wells in the village were sealed by big stones, which was also man-made. The village was not big, only a hundred households. Not long after, Zhang Ying took a walk around.

There were no signs of damage from fighting, they all collapsed naturally, and several houses had signs of burning, which was also a spontaneous fire caused by thunder hitting wooden beams. Apart from this, there was nothing abnormal in this village.

After walking around and finding nothing, Zhang Ying returned to the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall had been cleaned by Yiwu Jiuqi. Except for some corners, the lobby was the cleanest.

The shelf where the tablets were placed had decayed, so the tablets were naturally taken away. The decayed wood was raised by Yiwujiuqi and a few cylindrical stones were moved to him as stools.

Chi Chao chose a place to lie down, and he licked his front paws bored, and his front paws were dirty after walking for a day.

Zhang Ying and the others don’t have to eat dry food, and the fire is just for lighting. Unless they are in a hurry, Zhang Ying refuses to rush to the night.

Not long after, Yiwu Jiuqi returned to his side and began to skillfully boil tea. The tea leaves are wild tea picked in the mountains, with a unique flavor. It is okay to drink some tea without eating.

After slowly tasting the tea until late at night, Zhang Ying put down the tea cup in a little disappointed. He stayed in this deserted village and did not have any exciting activities, so he was a little disappointed. So he entered a state of cultivation and used practice instead of sleep.

After a while, he opened his eyes because he found something was wrong here!

Here is the metal energy, while the earth and wood energy are sparse! This is very strange, because generally these "qi" should be balanced. Could it be that there are mineral veins here? Only the existence of mineral veins will lead to more metal qi and less earth and wood energy.

He thought for a while and shook his head. If there was so much gold energy, he would never choose the address of a village here, and the address of a mine was almost the same. The abandoned land outside the village had only been more than ten years. The strong gold energy seemed to have happened in the past ten years!

Because of the strong metal energy, the content of earth and wood energy is squeezed, so farming here will naturally fail every year. It is very likely that the villagers here gave up.

So the question is, what caused the sudden prosperity of gold energy?

Zhang Ying thought excitedly that he felt that there was a secret here! So he woke up Chi Chao who was asleep: "Don't sleep! Get up! You said you are a tiger, why do you like sleeping at night so much?"

Chi Chao was woken up in a daze. What happened to sleep at night? The tiger was not allowed to sleep at night?

Yiwu Jiuqi was also alarmed. He stopped practicing and stood beside Zhang Ying and waited for instructions.

"There should be some secrets here. The golden energy here is very strong. See if there are treasures here!" Zhang Ying said excitedly.

Yiwu Jiuqi nodded and floated out first.

"Get up too, see where the source of the golden energy is?" Zhang Ying continued to say to Chi Chao. Chi Chao growled dissatisfiedly and walked out of the ancestral hall reluctantly.

At night, Chi Chao's vision was much better than Zhang Ying. He opened his green eyes and turned around, concentrating on sensing the traces of the golden energy.

Not long after, Chi Chao discovered something, took Zhang Ying and ran away from the village and went outside.

A few miles away from the village, a small river winds through. Originally, there were canals in the village that diverted water from this river, but it had not been cleared for many years, so the canal had been blocked.

The winding river flows quietly, and the moonlight shines on the river surface, reflecting rays of light.

The red tide first rushed into the river, and the tiger claws searched through the silt in the Hanoi River. Soon after, a silver-white stone was found.

"Is this?" Zhang Ying took the stone and found that under the moonlight, gold energy actually emerged from the stone.

"What's this?" Zhang Ying was a little confused. He didn't know the world's genius treasures and many of them, nor was it unexpected. Not long after, Yiwu Jiuqi also floated over, and then Zhang Ying said: "You go down the river to find out if there is such a thing."

So, a man, a ghost and a tiger began to search in the river. The clear river water was immediately disturbed, and the fish and shrimps in the river were disturbed one after another.

After a night of searching, Zhang Ying put more than a dozen silver-white stones of different sizes in front of him. The stone was only the size of a fist, the size of a large human head, and it seemed that it could be put together into a whole big stone.

What’s amazing is that this stone does not emit gold energy during the day. Only under the moonlight at night, the stone will constantly emit gold energy as if it is breathing.

What kind of treasure should be? I am now destined to be with me! Zhang Ying thought of this and put away all these stones. As long as he took them out to bask in the moon at night, the stone will exhale gold energy. Although the amount is not enough for the Red Tide to practice overnight, it will still change the gold energy content of the ground over the years.

When traveling, you really want to fight for opportunities. On the one hand, the disciples who traveling have gained knowledge and on the other hand, they want to find opportunities. As the saying goes, people are not rich without wealth, and horses are not fat without night grass. When practicing step by step in the observation, you may not be able to touch the edge of the ninth level of Qi training until you die, but if you find opportunities outside, you may make breakthroughs in a few years.

Look, Zhang Ying had only been out for a month and found these stones. Although he didn't know what they were, these things were treasures at first glance.

After walking in the mountains for a few days, she was sure that nothing was missing from her. Zhang Ying continued to go south.

After discovering the first deserted village, Zhang Ying actually entered the densely populated area of ​​this area. After walking for a few days, he saw the main road, and the roadside was reclaimed fertile fields. There were farming people in the fields.

However, when these civilians saw Zhang Ying riding a tiger by, they would shout, "There are monsters!" and then ran towards their residence.

So Zhang Ying followed them to a village. The village was very big, with a stone wall outside. At this time, the wooden gate had been closed, and some people who had not yet run into the village were being pulled up to the top of the city with hanging baskets.

Seeing Zhang Ying riding a tiger, these people shouted louder and pulled the hanging basket faster!

Zhang Ying didn't bother them, so he just watched them quietly a few hundred meters away. After they hung all the people under the wall onto the top of the city, he walked up and shouted, "I am a monk from the Huju Temple in Songling Mountain. I want to stay here for a night. I wonder if I can do it?"

Not long after, a trembling voice came from the city wall: "This Taoist priest invited me! It's just that there are few people in the small place, so I'm afraid I can't call the Taoist priest, so I'll ask the Taoist priest to leave!"

Zhang Ying bowed helplessly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll leave!" After that, he patted Chi Chao's butt and left.

When Zhang Ying left, the people on the city breathed a sigh of relief.

One of them said: "I seem to have heard of this Huju Temple. Didn't there be a Taoist priest who was also a Huju Temple more than ten years ago?"

Another person said: "It's been more than ten years, who still remembers it! And haven't you seen the tiger? If you really want to start crazy, you are not enough for it to eat by yourself!"

The man thought about it and finally didn't say anything. He thought to himself: "Although I was still young at that time, I still knew that Taoist was good and gave me candy!"

Zhang Ying walked out a few miles, patted Chi Chao's tiger's head and said, "It's you guy who looks so fierce that people don't dare to let us in!" Chi Chao roared helplessly and continued moving forward.

Yiwu Jiuqi came out of a small tube and said, "It's no wonder that Red Tide is so funny. People in small places are so fussy. If they go to a big place, it would be much better."

Yiwujiuqi's words are also reasonable. In this world, Taoism is sage. People in larger places are knowledgeable and will not be afraid of riding tigers. However, Yiwujiuqi wants to hide because others are not afraid of tigers, which does not mean that they are not afraid of ghosts!
