Xu Bai whispered beside him: "The elder Wang is the widow of a deceased elder in the clan. She has no children and daughters. The patriarch is afraid that she will not have any support, so he arranged an elder's position for her and found a dedicated person to take care of him. The old lady is now enjoying a peaceful life."

"Elder Wang? I haven't seen her before?" After hearing Guan Heng's question, Xu Fei said, "I don't know much about the specific matter. Xu Bai, please take Guan Heng and Ruotao to find Elder Wang, and I'm still busy again."

...

After a while, on the west side of the village, Elder Wang's residence. After Xu Bai sent Guan Heng and the others, he left to work. Elder Wang, the kind-hearted old lady, warmly greeted Guan Heng and Ruotao to sit down, and then he told him what he wanted to ask Guan Heng for.

It turned out that Elder Wang had always been at home to enjoy his blessings and rarely went out, but a few days ago, he suddenly had the idea of ​​visiting the mountain scenery, so he took his niece Xiaoyin and his pet to the western foot of Pinecone Mountain, because the terrain was flat and convenient for the elderly to take a walk.

But not long after the two of them walked there, a black fog suddenly flew through the air, and a sound of ghost roars came from the fog, which immediately scared the pet beast in Elder Wang's arms, the Mo Mei Ling Fox, to the point of being scattered. The little fox was covered with light golden fur, and only had three or two patterns of ink plum petals on his forehead, hence the name.

The Mo Mei Ling Fox was frightened by the sound of ghosts. He immediately slid out of Elder Wang's arms and plunged into the grass nest to escape without a trace. Elder Wang had no children, and except for his niece Xiaoyin, who could take time to take care of his niece, the only one left was the little fox to be his companion. When he saw the Mo Mei Ling Fox running away, it made the old man feel very distressed.

But just as they were about to chase and search, several black shadows suddenly emerged from the ghost fog to block the way for the old and the young. If a few tribe members carrying ore happened to pass by and yelled and scared away the ghosts, Elder Wang and Xiao Yin would probably have been in danger.

Xiao Yin, who was brewing tea and pouring water next to him, said at this moment: "That's right. My aunt heard that Brother Guan is good at controlling ghosts, so she wanted to ask you to help her and go to the foot of Xilu Mountain to find the whereabouts of Momei Linghu. I, we dare not go because we were really scared."

Speaking of this, Elder Wang and Xiao Yin both looked a little embarrassed. They were not very familiar with Guan Heng. It seemed a bit too much to make such a request to the distinguished guests of this clan.

But Guan Heng said indifferently: "No problem, isn't it just looking for a little fox? Just leave it to me. Elder Wang, please rest assured. As long as the little guy didn't run out of the range of Songguo Mountain, it would be easy for me to find it."

Upon hearing this, Miss Xiaoyin immediately said in surprise: "Brother Guan is willing to help? It's so great."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yin paused a little, and continued to say with a little embarrassed look: "Actually, I have a great responsibility for the loss of Mo Meiling Fox this time. If it weren't for my fear of not daring to pursue it, the little guy might not have disappeared."

"Xiao Yin, stop talking." Elder Wang patted the back of his niece's hand from the side. She whispered: "I know, you are afraid that the old woman, you are afraid that you will be in danger, so you stay by the side and dare not move. Silly child, I can't blame you."

"Thank you for your understanding," Xiao Yin said at this time: "Now, let me take Brother Guan and Sister Ruotao to the foot of the Xilu Mountain."

"Wait first." Elder Wang smiled and said, "If you are so enthusiastic about helping, my wife will seem too ignorant of the world. Come on, you can follow me into the house."

In the house, Elder Wang took out a box. After she lifted the lid, Guan Heng and Ruotao's eyes lit up. The boxes were covered with bronze-sharpened gadgets, such as small carriages, small houses, and even lifelike little animals.

"Wow, it's so exquisite and beautiful." Ruotao picked up a bronze deer casually. She said in admiration: "It's like living in your hand. It's amazing. Whose craft is this?"

Elder Wang laughed and said, "It's all small things made by my old woman."

"So these ingenious things are actually your masterpiece?"

After hearing Guan Heng's words, Elder Wang smiled and said, "I, an old woman, took on the position of the elder of the Weishui tribe for nothing, but I did not have the ability to refine weapons and armor. So I had to start with meticulous work and study some exquisite carving and engraving techniques. At first, I thought it was just to relieve my boredom, but I didn't expect it to be a climate in the end."

"My aunt carved and polished bronze objects, which are very famous among the three ancient countries." Xiao Yin also spoke from the side: "But she rarely gives her works to others."

"Come on, Guan Heng, Ruotao, pick it and take it anyway. Don't be polite to the old woman, I can't give you better rewards anyway."

Hearing Elder Wang's words, the two looked at each other and smiled, so Guan Heng picked up a pair of very exquisite millstones with a very delicate size in his palm. Ruotao was holding a cute and cute bear with a small ball. This thing was only larger than a walnut, but it was as short as the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears. It was really vivid.

"Haha, I have a vision. This small millstone is not only a decoration, but can really be used to grind fine beans." Elder Wang smiled at this time: "There is also that bear, which is my best work this year. This man is so dazzling that he may never be able to make such a detailed little animal again."

"Then isn't this my mother-in-law's treasure? I dare not ask for it anymore." After hearing this, Ruotao wanted to put the little cat bear with the ball back into the box. Elder Wang hurriedly closed the lid of the box. She said, "That's not possible. I said I would give it to you, so I must accept it, otherwise I would be angry."

"No, then I'd better want it." Ruotao said, holding the little cat bear in his hand, making the people around him laugh.

...

After a while, under Xiao Yin's guidance, Guan Heng and Ruotao came to the western foot of Pinecone Mountain. It was indeed a flat and open land. Except for the artemisia grass that was tall on both sides of the road, there was almost no tree.

"I heard from the older generation that more than a hundred years ago, there was also a primeval forest at the foot of the Xilu Mountain."

Xiao Yin said to Guan Heng and the others at this moment: "But later, copper mines were first discovered here. In order to facilitate mining ore and transport them back to the village, everyone cut down all the forests. After decades of mining, the copper mine could no longer be dug and it was abandoned."

"So that's it." Guan Heng looked at the surrounding environment at this time, and he whispered to Ruotao: "The demonic spirit is very strong, it seems that there are a whole group of guys living here."
