Chapter 53: Looking for lightning to strike the wood

At dawn, Xiao Yu returned to his home and gave Xiaoqiang the ghost cultivation technique he had obtained from the ghost messenger last night. Then he fell on the bed and fell asleep. Although he didn't do much that night, it was very energy-consuming. Even though Xiao Yu had practiced Taoism since he was a child, he could not bear it.

Xiao Yu's parents also knew about what happened last night, so they didn't wake Xiao Yu up even after dinner. They put the food in the pot and went to help pick apples for the neighbor's door. After sleeping for three or four hours, Xiao Yu got up and ate something casually, and then took Xiao Qiang with them, preparing to go to the mountains to find the lightning-striking wood that Caidie said. However, the lightning-striking wood was on the cliff. With Xiao Yu's ability, it was still impossible to get it, so he could only ask the mountain god rat for help.

"Brother Yu, do you think that butterfly demon lied to us? How could the peach tree grow on the cliff?" Xiao Qiang asked in a umbrella with some confusion.

"It shouldn't be. The Caidie has a low cultivation level and dare not lie to us. After a while, I will find the mountain god to come over and ask. He doesn't know which plants and trees in the mountain are. Even if there is not, we will just come out to play."

After turning a hillside, the surrounding mountains and forests suddenly became dense. Originally, they were all mountainous, but under the influence of the national policy of returning farmland to forests, trees were planted. After five or six years of development, the trees here grew extremely lush, and the original sheep intestine path was covered with weeds. To get to the Drishui Cliff, you must pass through this mountain. When you turn two hills, it will take two hours for those who are fast to reach. At a speed like Xiao Yu, it is estimated that it will take three hours to reach.

However, Xiao Yu just went to see what year the lightning strike wood was today. If the year was too low, it would not be of much use to him. If it could not be used, he would have to ask Master Bai to help find a way to acquire a lightning strike wood.

Xiao Yu was busy looking for lightning strike trees at this time, but the village at the foot of the back mountain was shrouded in the shadow of death! Behind the village, the small ancient tomb cave was still exposed, and there was a talisman at the entrance of the tomb cave. However, this talisman looked a little worn after being soaked in dew at night, and the runes on it were also a little blurred.

Below the tomb, several policemen stood there with serious expressions. A cordon behind the police separated the surroundings and did not allow anyone to approach! Not far ahead of the police, a group of policemen were surrounding them, with a look of ugly expression.

"It's a tomb robber again. How many times is this? In two days, three people died, and this is still under our noses. How can we get a job when we go back?" Officer Sun looked at his men and couldn't help but scold him loudly.

"Boss, it's not our fault. The thief made a thief from the other side of the mountain. We can't go to check in the wilderness!" Officer Huang said with a smile.

"Starting now, all the police forces in the town are sent here to ensure the safety of the villagers. The archaeological team also see when they will arrive, and quickly urge them to tell them about the situation in the tomb in advance so that they can be prepared for it."

"Also, when will Xiao Yu and his master come? You can call and urge me, don't wait for me to arrange anything. You are a captain, and you don't have the ability to adapt to the situation?"

Officer Sun scolded him for a while, and Officer Huang blushed and could only nodded one after another. Then he said helplessly, "The inspection team said they had arrived at the mayor, and they would probably come here tomorrow. They brought a Feng Shui master, saying that they had studied this aspect a lot, and they would try it first, if they could solve it, there was no need to find Master Xiao Yu, and the 50,000 yuan was indeed a bit too much."

After saying this, Officer Huang secretly glanced at Officer Sun's expression and couldn't help but think in his heart, "Damn, you just know that you are commanding here and give me all the things you ask for, why don't you try it? You are reluctant to spend money and want to do things, so who can help you?"

After hearing Captain Huang's words, Officer Sun glared and said, "No, the archaeological team is all cultural, and I probably only have the ability to talk about Feng Shui on paper. This is a matter of life. If this matter is not done well, you and I will have to move your and my black hats."

"Also, go to your office and pay 50,000 yuan in advance. After the matter is resolved, I will declare it immediately after I go back."

Captain Huang was immediately anxious when he heard this. He had a police station in the town, but there was no 50,000 yuan. The salary of the entire police station's employees was only more than 10,000 yuan a month. Isn't this killing him?

"Official Sun, our office does not have that much working capital. I only have a salary of 2,000 yuan a month. I really can't do anything about this!"

Who is Officer Sun? When he heard this, he turned his head and looked at the forensic doctor who was on the side as if nothing had happened and said, "Old Wang, has the director of Huangquan Town been empty for a long time? When we go back, we will write a report and find a suitable candidate."

The opponent's punch made Captain Huang's heart thump and thump. He has been the captain for two years. Now that he has this opportunity, how could he let it go? He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Officer Sun, 50,000 yuan, I'll take it tomorrow."

Officer Sun nodded disregardly, "Yeah, you have a high awareness. I will recommend you well and do it well."

Not far from several policemen, a group of villagers were standing, whispering to each other and did not dare to step forward. Although the people who died were not from their village, everyone knew that these people were bitten to death by unclean things, and they heard that there were zombies in the ancient tomb. This news made the village feel like it was a blow. If there weren't police here, they would have moved away long ago.

"Village Chief, what should I do? These police officers have been here for a few days and have not caught the thing yet. Why don't we go and invite a Taoist priest to take a look? If the thing runs out, the village will be in trouble."

"Yes, I heard that Xiao Yu from Shimo Village is a god descending to earth. Let's ask him to come and have a look?"

"That's a ten-year-old child who can catch a murderous monster? I think he has to go to the Taoist temple to find Taoist priests. There is a Dawang Temple in Muliu Town. I heard that Taoist priests are very powerful. Many people drive to find them, so why don't we come and have a look."

"The Taoist priests in the Dawang Temple are amazing, but they don't have ten thousand yuan once and no one comes. They also have to pick up and take over the car. Do we have money? Do we have any cars? There is nothing, and they will work for you for nothing?"

A group of villagers started to talk about it, and there was no better way for a while. They could only stand there and do something anxious. The village chief sitting on the side had no idea and could only comfort the villagers while communicating with the police.

Xiao Yu was walking on a mountain path at this time. This road was the only mountain road to the mountain. The trees on both sides of the mountain road were not big. In the north, the trees were relatively short, and the mountains were full of strange rocks and not much soil. In addition, the weather was cold, so the plants were mainly low shrubs, and some places were even exposed.

The towering cliff is like a guard between heaven and earth. Wherever it is standing coldly, Xiao Yu walked and climbed through the narrow mountain road and finally arrived at the bottom of the Dripping Cliff. Below the Dripping Cliff is a canyon, which is called a canyon, but in fact it is just a riverbed. At the end of the river is an underground cave, so the water is very cool and it is also the only source of water in the village.
