When Grandfather Pan heard his words, he naturally became interested.
"Do you mean to duel me?" Grandfather Pan's eyes narrowed. "I don't want to drink my granddaughter's boyfriend down. She'll blame me when the time comes."
Seeing Hu Xiao'er's awkwardness, the old man patted his back, "Come, sit, let's drink some tea!"
"Young man, what's your name?"
"My name is Hu Xiao'er, but I'm actually a member of A City... The student is also a Taoist. " Hu Xiao'er said, "I came here to find a type of spiritual herb. I heard from Die Die that you have some knowledge of all kinds of herbs, so she recommended me to come here."
Master Pan finally understood the reason why Hu Xiao'er was here. No wonder he looked so mature, to be able to kill demons and devour demons, his mentality was much more mature than his peers.
Hu Xiao'er had thought that the old man wouldn't believe him if he said such words, but in the end, he praised him greatly.
"To be able to learn so much at such a young age, I'm truly impressed!" The old man said, "Little Butterfly is right, I know all kinds of herbs. If you're looking for me, then you're looking for the right person."
"That's great! I originally thought that you would treat me as a swindler, but now, no one believes in things like Taoists or supernatural beings. "
"But I'm a man of some age after all, and of course I believe I've heard a lot of ghost stories — do you mind if I smoke?"
Hu Xiao'er expressed that he did not mind.
So the old man took out his pipe and took some tobacco out of another small metal box and put it in. The old matchstick gently rubbed it and pressed the flame into the bowl. Soon after, the cigarette was lit.
"I once dreamed of becoming a Taoist in the Maoshan, but unfortunately, my family did not allow it. I still remember that a Taoist came to our village to take in a disciple, so I was the first to rush up, but unfortunately, I wasn't chosen at that time. And the family won't let me get involved with these things. "
"Everyone has their destiny." Hu Xiao'er immediately said, he did not want to waste any time, "It's like this, I came here today to look for Spirit Grass, it grows at the edge of valleys or cliffs, it's said that the more dangerous the place, the more likely it is to exist."
"Oh? There's this grass? You might as well tell me. "
"It's called Luo Ling grass." Hu Xiao'er asked, "Have you heard of this before?"
As soon as the old man heard these three words, his face immediately revealed an expression of fear. His entire body's behavior also became very abnormal.
"Grandfather, what's wrong?" You've seen it? "
Hu Xiao'er was confused, he knew that something was amiss.
"You're actually looking for Luo Ling Grass!" Master Pan pointed at Hu Xiao'er.
"Huh?" Hu Xiao'er was puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"
"Do you know that this is a kind of evil grass, and not the spirit grass you were talking about?!"
"Evil grass? No way! I also heard it from the elders. I don't know what it looks like or what it's used for. Why is it called Evil Grass? "
"Because where this kind of grass appeared was practically barren. Moreover, our Pan Zhen has had many murders because of this Luo Ling Grass. Do you know what the price of a single Luo Ling Grass is? "
Hu Xiao'er shook his head.
Master Pan sighed, "Why not guess."
What did this mean? "A thousand?"
The old man shook his head.
"Ten thousand?"
The old man shook his head again, "One hundred thousand!"
Hu Xiao'er was completely shocked. A stalk of grass could be sold for one hundred thousand, just one stalk?
"Because of the high prices, many people went to the canyon to look for Luo Ling Grass. However, some died in the end and some were injured, so they didn't find anything. It just so happened that at that time, everyone was poor and desperately searched for money, but they didn't find anything even if they lost their lives.
My father used to be one of them, and then he fell into a ravine and died when I was five years old.
After that incident, most of the men in Pan's Town had been killed by it. That was why everyone later called it the Evil Grass. "Right now, in Pan Zhen, this is a pain in everyone's heart."
After Hu Xiao'er finished listening to what he had to say, scenes of corpses falling from the cliff appeared in his mind.
"Your father... "Then the hundred thousand that you mentioned just now was …"
"Yes, it was a hundred thousand dollars."
Therefore, Hu Xiao'er was left speechless. A stalk of Luo Ling Grass with one hundred thousand yuan was worth twenty million yuan!
This was too exaggerated. At that time, it was really an astronomical figure.
No wonder so many people were rushing to the canyon to find it.
"Don't think that we were the only ones to do this. In fact, there was a craze all over the country to find Luo Ling Grass. Many people died!"
"What's going on?"
"It's all because of the ancient tomb incident!"
