Chapter 114 News from Linjia Village
Cen Pianpian’s incident was just a small episode. After she left, Cheng Shuyan continued to move on to the next location.
This place is a familiar place.
On the way to the Shen family, she met the ghost cultivator Lin Zhi, and now she was in the Linjia Village where Lin Zhi had taken her.
Unlike the desolate and quiet place of the past, many monks now gather in Linjia Village.
Among these cultivators, the majority are in the Qi training stage, followed by the foundation building stage. Standing at the front are two Jindan cultivators.
The originally peaceful wasteland was now filled with a faint aura of death, emitting an unsettling atmosphere.
Everyone looked curious and nervously looked around, and the two Jindan cultivators in the lead had a hint of excitement on their faces.
Cheng Shuyan walked over to a middle-aged monk who looked friendly and asked him:
"Fellow Daoist, I'm new here. I wonder what's going on here?"
The man looked a little excited, and when he saw someone asking him something, he immediately began to explain enthusiastically.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but I heard that this was originally just a mortal village, but it suddenly disappeared without a trace over two hundred years ago, as if it had never existed.
At that time, the Shen family sent people to investigate, but found nothing. The matter was widely circulated for a while, but it was never resolved.
But recently, there has been a faint aura of death spreading here. I heard that a Qi-cultivating monk passed by here and unexpectedly encountered the disappeared village, and accidentally picked up a top-grade magic weapon!
The Qigong cultivator knew that it was of no benefit for him to keep this magic weapon, so he presented it to the Shen family in exchange for protection. Somehow, this matter got out.
Look at those two seniors, they were sent by the Shen family. They’ve been guarding here for more than half a month, just waiting for that village to reappear!"
Cheng Shuyan took a quick look and saw that there were no less than two hundred monks gathered there.
A young female cultivator beside the two men heard this and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since there is such an opportunity, why didn't the Shen family seal this place off?"
When the middle-aged male cultivator heard this, he stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, praisingly saying:
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that the Shen family has always been kind to others and would never do such a thing as eating alone. Moreover, this place is outside the Shen family, so they would certainly not do such a mean thing.
The Shen family has already announced that those who are destined to obtain these treasures will obtain them, and they will not restrict anyone from coming to treasure hunt. At that time, if anyone is willing to sell their treasures, the Shen family will also be willing to buy them back at the market price.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clearing up my doubts." Cheng Shuyan thanked the man and walked to an open space and sat down cross-legged.
She probably understood what she heard. She thought that the disappeared Linjia Village suddenly reappeared for some unknown reason.
She had nothing to do anyway. She came here just for the deathly aura. Since there was deathly aura here, she might as well wait and see with these people.
She stayed here for three days. During these three days, people kept leaving and the number of people gradually decreased.
The middle-aged male cultivator told her that at the beginning, thousands of people gathered here, all hoping to have a chance to make some great fortune.
But no matter how long we waited, there was no sign of the village appearing.
Many people lost their patience and continued to wait, not knowing whether the village would reappear. Even if it did, not everyone would be able to find the opportunity.
With this kind of time, it would be better to hunt down some monsters, so gradually only these few people were left.
She was resting with her eyes closed when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Ayan!"
When Cheng Shuyan opened her eyes, she saw Shen Yunjian waving at her from afar, his face full of surprise.
"Why are you here? If I had known you were here, I would have come sooner!"
Shen Yunjian walked up to her and spoke to her excitedly.
The two hadn't seen each other for many years, but Shen Yunjian was still the same as before, with no sense of unfamiliarity towards her.
In her heart, she also regarded Shen Yunjian as her good friend. If she had not met Shen Yunjian in the secular world, she might not be here!
Therefore, Cheng Shuyan was very happy to see Shen Yunjian here.
"Brother Shen, I just got here two days ago. I thought this place is not far from the Shen family, and I might run into you by chance. I didn't expect you to actually come."
"I'm sure you've heard about what happened here. My father asked me to come and take a look. If I happen to see that village, I can have some experience.
I was reluctant at first! I've been practicing a spell lately, and I was about to make some progress, but he insisted I come. Now it seems I was right to listen to him, because I can actually see you here!"
Shen Yunjian was gesticulating with his hands, like a child who knew nothing about the world, and did not look like a foundation-building cultivator at all.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Shuyan couldn't help but laugh.
When she went to Cheng's house, Jian Qing prepared a lot of things for her, including some daily necessities, which came in handy at this moment.
She took out a small table and placed it on the ground, then took out the tea set and made tea, then sat opposite Shen Yunjian to drink tea and chat.
Time passed little by little, and the two finished their tea. Shen Yunjian took out a lot of food and put it on the table, and started to eat with relish.
Seeing this, the middle-aged monk joined in under the pretext of talking to the two of them.
The middle-aged cultivator was named Lin Shao. He had been searching for Wuze for many years. This time, by chance, he happened to encounter this incident.
He was a person who loved to join in the fun. He was very curious about the sudden disappearance of a person who had appeared for no apparent reason, so he simply waited here to see if he could find an opportunity.
Shen Yunjian also gave the two a piece of news that no one else knew.
After Linjia Village disappeared, the Shen family actually found some clues.
This place was originally an ancient battlefield ten thousand years ago. Countless powerful monks were killed and injured at that time, and the death and resentment turned this place into a lifeless land.
After ten thousand years of recuperation, it has gradually recovered and mortal villages have appeared.
Linjia Village existed here for hundreds of years, but suddenly disappeared two hundred years ago. The Shen family suspected that it might be related to the ancient battlefield.
Sure enough, after repeated investigations by the Shen family, they discovered that there seemed to be a natural formation here, based on dead energy, which had been running for tens of thousands of years.
The disappearance of Linjiacun may be due to the fact that this formation was triggered for some reason, and they were dragged into an unknown area.
This matter was not something the Shen family could resolve. Moreover, nothing had happened nearby since the disappearance of Linjia Village. After the Shen family reported the matter to the Zixiao Sect, they did not investigate further.
The Zixiao Sect, like the Xuanfeng Sect and the Tianyin Sect, is one of the most prominent sects in the Cangxuan Continent. As a large family within the Zixiao Sect, the Shen family naturally takes the lead in the Zixiao Sect.
The Zixiao Sect had also sent people to investigate this matter, but found nothing, so they stopped caring about it.
This time, Linjia Village suddenly appeared and Zixiao Sect also sent people. Shen Yunjian came with the people from Zixiao Sect.
