Chapter 334: Yellow Bull Root Carving
In fact, this nightmare had claimed the lives of many in my hometown, Qi Xuanyuns expression turned sorrowful when he said this. Since then, I swore I would find the one behind this incident no matter what. After many years of investigation, I finally discovered that every single one of these victims had eaten at the same restaurants. Specifically, they had eaten the restaurants beef.
A little more digging later, I found out that these restaurants had bought their cattle from the same inn. That inn is none other than All Cattle Inn.
This one? Ye Qing asked for clarification.
This one, Qi Xuanyun confirmed. The inn itself is abnormal though. It would appear at a location for several days before disappearing for a time. Then, it would appear somewhere else.
Ive been chasing for a very long time. Finally, I found it.
Ye Qing fell silent for a moment. Based on what you told us, I believe Ive more or less figured out the whole case.
Assuming Im not mistaken, the innkeepers use the Cattle Transformation Grass to transform everyone who eats in their inn into cattle. Then, the cattle are sold to nearby restaurants.
The cattle were formerly humans who ate the Cattle Transformation Grass, so it makes sense that the people who ate them would experience strange, debilitating nightmares and act like cattle.
That is most likely the truth. Qi Xuanyun said coldly, Tonight is the night I kill these evildoers and end their crimes once and for all.
Go wild. Im here to help. Ye Qing clapped Qi Xuanyuns shoulder.
Chu Nianjiu and Lin Yuhuai exchanged smiles with each other before declaring, We too see no reason to allow this despicable inn to exist any longer.
The innkeepers coming. Do as you see fit, Ye Qing instructed before putting all the dishes on the tablethe Cattle Transformation Grassinto his Natures Shell.New novel chapters are published on
Your vegetables have arrived, young Reverend, Mrs. Jiaos sweet voice arrived before her person.
When she saw that the table was empty once again, her eyes widened. Did you guys finish everything again?
Yep. It is as you see. Ye Qing shrugged. Your beef is so delicious we cannot help but eat the plates again.
And now, were gonna eat you! Chu Nianjiu sipped his wine and added.
Ye Qing: ...
Lin Yuhuai: ...
Bro, theres an underaged boy right here! Control yourself!
At this point, even the dimmest bulb in the world wouldve noticed that something was amiss. Mrs. Jiaos smile stiffened as she exclaimed in realization, You didnt eat the beef?
HUBBY!
Mrs. Jiao screeched and tossed her tray at the group. Then, she sprinted toward the kitchen at full speed.
At the same time, countless ropes slithered out of the floor, and each one had a strap on it. They attempted to catch the group by the neck.
However, the second the rope emerged from the floor, Ye Qing had already closed the distance and reached out with his left hand to grab Mrs. Jiaos skull.
Right before he would grab her, Mrs. Jiao abruptly twisted like a snake and dodged the attack by a hairs breadth.
Not pausing for even a moment, Ye Qing clenched his hand into a fist and thrust in an inch forward. Fire burned, rivers evaporated, and the space around them turned into a scorching hot furnace.
Cloud Vaporization Style
Ye Qing answered, There is one inside the back garden, but hes just an ordinary person.
He had scanned the entire place using his demonic thought earlier. The only person in the area besides them and the innkeepers was that man, and he was just an ordinary person who felt[1] like his days were numbered.
Lets go, Lin Yuhuai said.
When they arrived at the back garden, they saw a handsome man wearing a silly grin inside the cattle pen. He was dripping saliva and sleeping in the middle of a bunch of cattle.
Hes definitely just a normal person. Let me wake him up, Ye Qing said. He had just set foot inside the cattle pen when a few cattle swarmed him and mooed at him loudly. At the same time, some of them began writing on the ground with their hoofs.
Help
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes. As he thought, every bull and cow in this inn was formerly a human.
The good news was that the cattle swarming him had just eaten the Cattle Transformation Grass a while ago. That was why they were acting so human. But the others there was probably no saving them.
Calm down. Youre safe now. Just make sure to remember that youre human, and you will return to normal in three days, Ye Qing consoled them. The Cattle Transformation Grass was probably a kind of curse, and he was hardly an expert in this area. There was nothing he could do to help them.
It was at this moment Qi Xuanyun spoke up, Allow me.
Eight views approach the firmament and expel the evils. The wind rises
The young Taoist shook his sleeves once and produced a yellow talisman that was obviously brimming with power between his fingers. At the same time, he chanted a bunch of words that Ye Qing didnt care to make sense of.
When he was done, the yellow talisman abruptly transformed into a gust of wind and blew past the cattle. Wisps of filthy energies immediately started rising from their bodies.
When the wind passed completely, a dozen or so people returned to normal. But only a dozen. The rest remained as they were.
Its too late for these people. They had turned into cattle for so long that they had completely lost their humanity and sapience. Not even my Evil Expelling Talisman can save them now.
Qi Xuanyun wore a sorrowful look as he spoke. Even if they turned back to normal, they would remain retarded for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for saving us, heroes! Thank you!
Some of the victims immediately ran up to the group and thanked them profusely.
Ye Qing pointed a finger at Qi Xuanyun and said, Youre welcome, but the one you should really thank is him. I couldnt have dispelled the curse afflicting you all.
Thank you for saving our lives, young Reverend!
Thank you, thank you, thank you
We will never forget what youve done for us. Never!
Maybe it was because they were still in shock, but most of the victims werent quite themselves yet. They could only repeat words of gratitude over and over.
Qi Xuanyun had never experienced a situation like this. Blushing like an apple, he waved his hands repeatedly to indicate Youre welcome but was unable to say a single word. In the end, Lin Yuhuai had to step in to save him from his predicament.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise broke out. You Which one of you is Yang Yun?
Ye Qing looked and saw a man staring back and forth between the retarded man curled up on the ground and the guy next to him. His expression was panicked and horrified because the two men shared the exact same appearance.
1. Felt, because aura.
