Chapter 96 Weird stockade

"Zhao Yanran, you are sick!" Qian Gumeng couldn't help but said angrily, "You will become like this today, it was caused by Ye Leng'an that night, what has it to do with us! If you want revenge, you can go to Ye Leng'an! What is targeting us here!"

"Don't pretend to be innocent here," Zhao Yanran said with a disdainful smile, "You can fool others with tricks like yours, but you can't fool me. Qian Gumeng, now I'm really looking forward to the school meeting next Monday! It will definitely be exciting."

After speaking, Zhao Yanran turned and left.

Qian Gumeng, who stayed where she was, stomped her feet angrily.

At this moment in the jungle of southern Xinjiang—

She didn't know anything about what happened in the school, let alone know, the principal helped her solve a small trouble. At this moment, she has been in the jungle for several days, but she has never been able to find the medicinal materials she needs.

At this time, everyone was resting in place.

After Ye Leng'an took a sip of water, he looked at Huangfu Ruiling who was at the side, and frowned, "It's not an option for us to search aimlessly like this. The jungle here is so big, if we just rely on our feet to finish it, we don't know how long it will take."

If this continues, let alone three months, even three years, it may not be possible to find Baizhemu and Yuanyanghua. As for Zhong Yuyiran, she couldn't wait that long.

Huangfu Ruiling frowned, "Is there any other way?"

Before, he had already sent many people to look for it, but there was no result. They have been in this jungle for several days, but they have gained nothing.

After thinking for a while, Ye Leng'an said, "It seems that we still have to find the locals in southern Xinjiang. I think there must be some of them who have the medicinal materials we need."

"I have already asked for a lot of money in the local area before." Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, "If the local people really have it, they would have already given it out."

Such a method, he had already thought of it. If they could get it, they wouldn't be here right now.

After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's answer, Ye Leng'an shook his head amusedly, "Then you are wrong, there should be some local people in southern Xinjiang who have these two kinds of medicinal materials, but you don't know their local people. This is southern Xinjiang, and those who can understand and own the Yuanyanghua and Baizhemu must be Gu cultivators."

"People like this don't necessarily pay much attention to money, they care more about their Gu worms. Even if you buy it with a lot of money, no one will be willing to exchange it."

Huangfu Ruiling frowned.

After thinking about it, Ye Leng'an asked, "Then Zhong Yuyiran came to Southern Border, and where exactly did you know? If you can find the person who made the vomit, it will be better than finding the medicinal materials."

Huangfu Ruiling looked at Li San behind him.

Li San understood, and immediately replied, "I investigated it before, but I only know that Miss Yiran came to this area. I can't find out exactly where it is."

"There are quite a few stockades in southern Xinjiang, why don't we take a look at the nearby stockades today!" Ye Leng'an suggested, "You can also take a look to see if the people there have stored the two kinds of medicinal materials we are looking for."

Led by the local, they soon came to a stockade. This stockade is in the jungle. If it is not for the locals, it should not be found.

Although it is already the 21st century, this village still retains the ancient atmosphere of the past. There are almost no brick buildings in the whole village, but houses made of wood.

The local people who walked in front introduced, "People in this village rarely go out, they have lived here for generations. So this place still maintains a traditional atmosphere. But—"

When he said this, the man's voice lowered a little, "When you are here, be careful, and don't offend people here casually. It is said that I just heard that the people here are very vengeful, and I don't know what the means are. Some people who offended them were fine when they were here, but it is said that they died in various bizarre ways after returning home."

"Of course, I don't know if these are true or not, I just heard people say it."

As soon as Ye Leng'an heard the words of the guide, Ye Leng'an immediately thought of Gu worms. If the facts are true as told to this person, then the people in this village probably know how to raise Gu. Those three years ago, Zhong Yuyiran had very likely been here as well, and it was even possible that she was bewitched here.

After hearing these words, Huangfu Ruiling's expression was very calm, as if he didn't notice anything.

However, Ye Leng'an knew that this person should have the same guess as her.

"Really?" Ye Leng'an smiled, and said casually, "But I think the people here are very sunny, they don't look like this kind of people!"

Indeed, although the village looks quaint and backward inside, the people here all have smiles on their faces, and they seem to be very satisfied with such a life.

The leader smiled sheepishly, "Actually, what I just said is just rumors, and I don't know what the actual situation is. People here rarely go out, and people usually come here, so they only deal with outsiders."

"So that's how it is!" Ye Leng'an looked at Huangfu Ruiling, and said coquettishly, "Brother Ruiling, let's play here for two days, okay?"

That coquettish voice gave people goosebumps.

Even Ye Leng'an almost couldn't stand his coquettish voice. However, there is no way. When they came to Southern Xinjiang, they couldn't just say that they want to collect herbs! So this time they came here for fun, and they said to the outside world that she and Huangfu Ruiling's family are family friends, and she is a delicate lady from a family.

When Li San and the others saw Ye Leng'an acting like a baby, they couldn't help shivering. When they looked at Ye Leng'an, their eyes were indescribable.

But Huangfu Ruiling, the expression on his face didn't change at all, he just nodded, "Since you want to, let's stay here for a few days!"

Li San consciously stepped forward, took out a wad of money from his pocket, and handed it to the leader, "Then please help me to communicate. See if there is any place to stay here. We plan to stay here for a few days. Of course, the price is not a problem."

Don't look at Li San's taciturnity on weekdays, but after coming to southern Xinjiang, he is responsible for almost all external affairs.

Looking at the stack of thick hundred-yuan bills, the leader's eyes lit up. After receiving the money, he smiled and said, "These are trivial matters. I'll go talk to the old patriarch of the village right away."

When he took the order before, he knew that the group of people in front of him were rich. During this period of getting along, he became more certain of this idea. Unexpectedly, the luck this time was really good. After finishing this order, he almost made as much money as he could make in the previous year.

After the leader left, Ye Leng'an came to Huangfu Ruiling's side, bent down, approached Huangfu Ruiling's ear, and said softly, "Wait a minute, no matter what I do, you don't resist, you understand?"

Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an in surprise, but didn't ask anything, but nodded to show that he knew. Afterwards, he felt as if something was covering his body. That feeling is fleeting, if you don't pay attention all the time, you might ignore such a change.

But he didn't say anything, and even the expression on his face didn't change at all, as if he didn't feel anything.

Ye Leng'an raised her eyebrows, she knew Huangfu Ruiling was suspicious. However, she couldn't help it. This stockade is unusual, and the people inside may have cultivated Gu. With the evil spirit on Huangfu Ruiling's body, even the poison did not dare to approach, let alone Gu worms!

You must know that the Gu worms are called Gu only after many poisonous substances have been killed. It is conceivable that the Gu worm is much more powerful than ordinary poisons. It is precisely because Gu worms are powerful that they are more sensitive to danger.

She dared to say that if Huangfu Ruiling's evil spirit got closer, if the people in this village were really raising Gu, it would probably cause the Gu insects in the entire village to riot. By that time, they would have already startled the snake before entering the village. Therefore, she could only use a faint aura to cover Huangfu Ruiling's body, hoping to temporarily cover up the evil spirit on his body.

As for how long it can be covered up, it depends on how long the aura will be swallowed by the evil spirit.

Thinking of this, Ye Leng'an felt that he had really lost a lot this time. Originally, this time I saw a doctor for Zhong Yuyiran, so I didn't know that there would be no consultation fee in the future. Now he has to travel far to southern Xinjiang and use up his aura. No matter how you calculate it, this is a loss-making transaction.

Alas, in the final analysis, I blame myself for being young and ignorant at the beginning, and unexpectedly found such a difficult guardian for myself without any investigation.

It seemed that Ye Leng'an felt depressed beside him, Huangfu Ruiling frowned, and looked at him strangely, as if wondering why she was like this all of a sudden.

Ye Leng'an shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Soon, the leader came back. With a smile on his face, he looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an, who were the leaders, and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, Miss Ye, I have already asked the patriarch here. They are all very hospitable and welcome you to stay and play. Also, the group leader warmly invited us to stay at his house for a while!"

Before, he brought other people, but not to this village, but to other villages. Those villages are not as old as this one, but the people in the village are very enthusiastic. Obviously, although this village is somewhat isolated from the outside world, the people there are still as enthusiastic as the people in other villages.

"Really? That's really great." Ye Leng'an looked surprised, and then urged, "Then what are you waiting for! Let's go in quickly!"

Soon, the group came to the best house in the whole village. However, although it is said to be the best house, it only occupies a larger area than other houses and looks a little newer. It is still a house made of wood. However, the house has two floors.

At this time, an old man with a white beard was standing in front of the door with a smile on his face, looking like an ordinary grandpa next door.

"Xiao Hu, this is the guest you mentioned!" The old man, who is also the patriarch of the village, stepped forward, looked at the leader, and said with a smile, "They are all handsome men and women! The most beautiful girl and the most handsome boy in our village are not ugly in front of them!"

The leader, that is, Xiao Hu, after hearing the words of the patriarch, couldn't help stretching out his hand, scratching his hair, and said with a smile, "Patriarch, it's really a hero who sees the same thing! When I saw it, I felt the same way!"

The two sides began to exchange pleasantries.

On Huangfu Ruiling's side, it was still Li San who came forward.

Soon, everyone's residence was settled. Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng'an and Li San stayed at the patriarch's house, while the others lived with the residents next to the patriarch. After all, there were more than a dozen people in that group, and there were more than a dozen people in total. The patriarch's house couldn't accommodate them, so they had to disperse to other places to borrow.

The rooms of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an are opposite each other.

After putting away her luggage, Ye Leng'an came to Huangfu Ruiling's room. At this time Huangfu Ruiling was drinking tea, while Li San was cleaning up.

Ye Leng'an sat down directly opposite Huangfu Ruiling, picked up a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and drank it straight away, sighing at the end, "Good tea."

Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Huangfu Ruiling smiled lightly and shook his head, "With your way of chewing peonies, you can really drink it, isn't it good tea?"

It was rare to see Huangfu Ruiling's smile, and Ye Leng'an was stunned for a moment.

All along, she knew that Huangfu Ruiling looked good. Perhaps it should be said that in this world, I am afraid that there are few people who can compare with it. Even in all these years in the cultivation world, she has never seen that man with such a handsome face.

However, before, Huangfu Ruiling had always been expressionless, so even if she was very handsome, she wouldn't sink into it. However, Huangfu Ruiling's smile now gives people a feeling that spring is coming and a hundred flowers are blooming. It's hard to express that feeling in words.

However, Huangfu Ruiling at this moment really has the ability to make people fall into it!

"What's the matter?" Sensing Ye Leng'an's absent-mindedness, the smile on Huangfu Ruiling's face disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

He thought that something happened, that's why Ye Leng'an behaved like this.

"I'm fine, I just thought of something else for a while," Ye Leng'an smiled sheepishly, and then immediately changed the subject, "I just think this tea is too fragrant, so I just want to have another cup."

After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'an laughed and kept laughing, but she was a little annoyed. She didn't expect that she would be stunned by Huangfu Ruiling's smile, it was really embarrassing.

I really didn’t expect it! It turns out that she is still a hidden nympho! sin! sin!

Looking at Ye Leng'an's appearance, Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, obviously, he didn't believe Ye Leng'an's words. However, he didn't say anything, he just poured another cup of tea for Ye Leng'an silently.

This time, Ye Leng'an didn't drink, but held the teacup in his hand, smelling the faint tea fragrance, looking at the faint water mist, and said, "Do you think this village is weird?"

Huangfu Ruiling put down the teapot in his hand, and ordered directly, "The people here are too enthusiastic."

Ye Leng'an nodded, it seems that Huangfu Ruiling had the same idea as her. According to the leader Xiao Hu, the people in this village rarely go out, and it can even be said that they live an isolated life here. However, shouldn't such a place be very exclusive? At the very least, they should be very resistant and wary of outsiders.

However, for their visit, the people in the village didn't take any precautions along the way, but seemed very welcome. There was also the patriarch, who only praised them a few words, but never questioned their origins from the beginning to the end. Is there anyone who borrows someone from home without asking who the other party belongs to?

All this seems to be normal, but when it comes to detail, it is full of weirdness.

"Although it is still uncertain whether the people in this village are cultivating Gu, what is certain is—" Ye Leng'an's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity, "This village is not as simple as it looks on the surface. It can even be said that there may be dangers everywhere."

"It's too early to say anything." Huangfu Ruiling didn't lock the lock tightly either, "Let Li San go out to investigate late at night to see if there are any clues."

"That's fine." Ye Leng'an nodded, "Besides, I'm also very interested in the purpose of this patriarch. He accepted a few of us outsiders to live here for no reason. It can't be for the little money. I always feel that he may have other purposes."

"Since he's here, let him be safe." Huangfu Ruiling was very calm, "No matter what purpose he has, it will always be exposed in the end. We just need to wait."

"That's right," Ye Leng'an nodded, "The patriarch is very clear that we are only staying here for a few days. So, no matter what purpose he has, it will definitely be exposed soon. After all, he doesn't have too long."

Huangfu Ruiling continued to ask, "What kind of person do you think the patriarch is?"

"He is definitely not a good person." Ye Leng'an said without hesitation, "I feel that he is definitely carrying a life on his body. I just don't know if it is direct or indirect."

She could tell that the patriarch had a blood debt on him. Therefore, the patriarch has someone's life, and it's not just one.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded, and then his face became even more solemn, "If people here really know how to raise Gu, then this patriarch must know how to do it too. In this way, our situation may not be very good."

At this time, Li San came over and asked, "Master, do you think we need to call in some more people? The situation here is unclear. If these people really know how to breed Gu, it will definitely be a big threat to us."

The people they brought this time were just ordinary people from the Mortal World. This is what they invited from the bodyguard company before departure. So if you really face these people who know how to raise Gu, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning.

"It's okay." Ye Leng'an shook his head, and continued, "Didn't I give everyone a sachet before? As long as the sachet stays with you, the Gu worms will not be able to get close to you. Of course, if you lose it, then I have nothing to do."

Before she set off to southern Xinjiang, she had already guessed that such a situation might happen. Although they came here to find medicine this time, the medicine was aimed at Gu worms. Then they may encounter people who raise Gu, even cultivators, they may be tricked when encountering Gu insects, let alone ordinary people!

So when she was on the plane before, she gave each of them a sachet, just to guard against Gu insects.

Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Li San glanced at the sachet hanging on his waist, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has never seen what a Gu worm looks like, but as long as it is a worm, it will not look good. So, if possible, he naturally didn't want those bugs to get close.

At this moment, Huangfu Ruiling suddenly said, "When was the sachet distributed? Why don't I know? What about mine? Why don't I have a sachet?"

Huangfu Ruiling just went to the bathroom when he was distributing sachets on the plane, so he didn't know about it at all. Now hearing that everyone has sachets and only he doesn't, I feel very uncomfortable.

"You don't need it!" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised that Huangfu Ruiling would suddenly ask such a question, "Those Gu worms dare not approach you at all, what do you want a sachet for?"

Before, it was because of evil spirit, but now Huangfu Ruiling's evil spirit has been covered up, but he has his own aura!

Gu worms are poisonous, and they have a natural sense of repulsion towards clean things like aura. Therefore, neither she nor Huangfu Ruiling needed a sachet.

"Since everyone has it, give me one too!" Huangfu Ruiling insisted, "You can't favor one person over another!"

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an felt a little speechless, "But all the sachets in my hand have been distributed, and now there is no one left."

This is not a lie, she didn't prepare much. When I sent it on the plane before, it was just enough. Now she doesn't have it.

"Then when you go back, make me another one!" Huangfu Ruiling said with a hint of emphasis, "The sachet, whether it's the outside or the inside, must be made by you to count."
