I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 140 Sequelae

After thinking clearly about the joints, Gu Nian'an picked up the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea for Ye Jinxiu before slowly speaking, "Madam Jiang, you don't need to ask for my opinion on these matters. Just make your own arrangements."

She gently picked up the teacup on the table and looked at the clear tea in the cup with an inexplicable gleam in her eyes.

"Master Gu, besides Xiao Wei, you are the only one who has seen the god. Xiao Wei is still young and has limited ability to distinguish right from wrong, so I would like to hear your opinion."

Hearing Ye Jinxiu's words, Gu Nian'an frowned slightly. They had only met briefly, so he really couldn't give any specific advice.

Moreover, your suggestions may affect the future and safety of others. It is best not to say too much about such uncertain matters.

"I only met Madam Jiang once briefly, and I can't tell whether other people are good or bad.

I think if possible, you can investigate it slowly on your own. You only need to ask around a little bit about the origins of rural gods like these, and you should be able to find out without wasting too much time.

This is much better than taking my unfounded advice.”

Alas! She certainly understood this principle, but the problem was that she had no way of finding out the background of the goddess.

He had already made inquiries today and found that there was no legend about the goddess in the folk legends of Fufeng County, and there was no record of her in the county annals.

She also specially sent secret guards and soldiers to rush to the place Xiao Wei mentioned to check it out. There was just a barren mountain there, and there was no temple, so she came over overnight to inquire about the situation.

Ye Jinxiu drank the tea in her hand and stopped dwelling on the matter. No matter what, no matter what the goddess's purpose was, it was an indisputable fact that she had saved her child.

So it is only right to pay a certain amount in return. Besides, building temples and conferring ordination are not difficult matters for their Yanyue Sect, so there is no need to delve into the details.

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Ye Jinxiu's eyes were no longer entangled but became unusually calm.

"Mr. Gu, we have been together for some time now. There are some questions I have always wanted to ask you, but we were too close to each other before, so I have put it off until now.

But after what happened yesterday, I've figured it out. Instead of dragging it out, it's better for both parties to be more honest. Then we can better maintain our friendship."

"Mrs. Jiang, please feel free to ask any questions you have. As long as I can answer them, I will not hide anything."

"Then Mr. Gu, can you tell me what happened to your Xiao Qingfeng?"

When Gu Nian'an heard the question from the woman sitting opposite him, his pupils shrank for a moment.

He had long known that Ye Jinxiu would secretly investigate his past. After all, a top force like the Yanyue Sect would never lack people who wanted to contact it, so it was possible that some unsavory means would be used to achieve this.

But what he didn't expect was that Ye Jinxiu would come and confess to him so quickly. After all, investigating others privately is always disgusting no matter what.

After a brief pause, Gu Nian'an lowered his head, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"The thunder from the sky came and happened to strike Xiaoqing Peak." Gu Nian'an's voice was a little hoarse at this time.

Hearing the young man's answer, Ye Jinxiu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Is the thunder from heaven coming to the world?"

From the information she had investigated, everything that happened to Xiao Qingfeng could not be explained by a simple bolt of lightning.

The mountain to the north of Xiaoqingfeng has completely disappeared, replaced by a bottomless cliff.

The area within a dozen miles of Yuntai Village became a dead zone, with vegetation withered, birds and animals extinct, and even ordinary people could not stay there for a long time.

This time she sent nearly thirty people to Yuntai Village to investigate, but in the end only three of them were able to evacuate safely.

Moreover, the mental state of the three people who were evacuated was obviously abnormal, and they would fall into symptoms such as madness and insanity from time to time.

She has sent people to try to block the news of the abnormality in Yuntai Village.

But just a few days ago, she received a letter reporting that the abnormality in Yuntai Village was gradually spreading, and it was estimated that many forces had gone to check it out.

Giving the boy a complicated look, Ye Jinxiu said more seriously, "Mr. Gu, I don't know what happened to your Xiao Qingfeng, and I won't ask in detail, but if possible, don't tell others where you are from."

He raised his head and looked at Ye Jinxiu in surprise, then Gu Nian'an bowed and said, "Please tell me, Madam Jiang, what has happened at Xiao Qingfeng?"

"Um"

Ye Jinxiu nodded gently. "The area of ​​Yuntai Village within a radius of dozens of miles has now become a dead zone. Anyone who enters it will be fine for a short time, but once it exceeds a certain time, their mental state will change, and they will eventually go crazy and die."

“This…~”

After listening to Ye Jinxiu's description, Gu Nian'an was stunned for a moment. He had clearly stayed in Xiao Qingfeng for a long time after the incident.

And although there were some abnormalities in the surrounding area afterwards, they were not as exaggerated as this.

Before he could sort out his thoughts, Ye Jinxiu's words came again, "Just a few days ago, I received news that the abnormality in Yuntai Village has a tendency to spread gradually. Although the spread is not fast, if we can't find an effective way to suppress it, the entire Langhuan County may become a deadly place within a year, and even the neighboring Guobei County may be implicated.

So I thought if Mr. Gu has any news, he could tell me."

No matter what he said, he was still confused about what happened to Xiao Qingfeng that day.

It was clearly just a joke experiment, how did it cause such a big fuss?

He originally thought that being able to turn the area around Yuntai Village into a dead zone was the limit of the pirated formation.

But what he never expected was that the damn thing had prepared such a big surprise for him after several months.

Gu Nian'an suppressed his irritability and asked, "Mrs. Jiang, I wonder what the situation is like in Yuntai Village now."

"Nothing serious has happened yet. We from the Yanyue Sect and the Jingxuan Division have already arranged personnel to go and investigate the situation.

And Mr. Gu, rest assured, I have already told you that this matter will not involve you too much."

With a helpless smile on his face, Gu Nian'an bowed and said, "Thank you, Madam Jiang."

No matter what, all the strange changes around Yuntai Village were caused by him. He had to deal with the matters with his uncle as soon as possible and go back quickly.

At the very least, he had to find a way to stop the spread of that weirdness. Otherwise, if it caused greater casualties, he would be guilty of a great crime.
