Very intelligent!

Chen Hao was amazed when he saw the little fox return the gift, and then continued to ask: "Fellow Taoist, are you practicing in this mountain?"

The little fox nodded, then suddenly ran into the side room of the Taoist temple. Shao Shi came out with a yellow envelope in his mouth and placed the envelope in front of Chen Hao.

Chen Hao glanced at the little fox in surprise and then picked up the envelope.

The envelope is a bit wet and a little soft, and it looks like it has been stored for a long time.

After tearing it apart gently, Chen Hao took out a piece of letter paper from it.

After reading it, Chen Hao finally understood the whole story.

Xin was left by a man named Taoist Master Gan Ping. As Chen Hao guessed, he was the descendant of the Youxian Sect, and the Youxian Sect was a relatively idle sect. Although the inner cultivators formed one sect, they each had their own inheritance and did not interfere with each other. Taoist Master Gan Ping himself was also a single inheritance, because the world was in chaos and foreign tribes invaded, Taoist Master Gan Ping walked the world, ignored the inheritance and did not get disciples, so his lineage was considered to be cut off.

The letter also mentioned the little fox, which was encountered by Taoist Ganping on the road. Because it saw that its evil spirit was pure and its practice was not easy, it was brought by your side to guide you.

Seeing this, Chen Hao glanced at the little fox.

The little fox seemed to feel something. He stood up, raised his claws, narrowed his eyes, and whimpered, and spit out his little tongue.

Chen Hao: “…”

The black cat's hair was trembling, inexplicably unhappy, grinning, his eyes showed fierce light, and his cat's claws popped out.

"Stop making trouble."

Chen Hao scolded the black cat who seemed to want to fight, and then continued to read the letter.

The following are some things that stayed in Mao Lao Village, but the letter said a completely different purpose from the old man.

More than 20 miles southwest of Mao Lao Village, there is a ghost village. Taoist Master Ganping accidentally discovered that the ghost village was afraid that it would cause trouble and leave supervision. Even after his death, he would ask the little fox to help take care of it. The letter reminded that if someone from the Taoist sect came here later, the little fox would take out the envelope and ask for help.

After reading the letter, Chen Hao looked solemn.

Ghost Village, this is an amazing place.

The so-called ghost village is a place where the entire village is cruelly slaughtered, and the resentment remains undispersed. After years of gathering, it is transformed into a strange place.

The collection of books in Baihe Temple is focused on marking. Generally, in such places, whether they are discovered by Taoism or Buddhism, they will practice salvation to avoid the formation of ghost villages and harming the people.

Now it seems that there is a fish that has escaped the net in the mountain and has a climate.

This is difficult to deal with.

With a ghost village with a climate, it is not something that my current cultivation level can provoke.

Looking at the little fox, Chen Hao asked, "Fellow Daoist must entrust senior Ganping to take care of the ghost village. Chen Hao admires it. I wonder what I can help you?"

Seeing that Chen Hao did not refuse, the little fox was delighted, and squeaked in his eyes, and gestured with his claws.

Chen Hao thought about it for a moment and said in surprise: "Does fellow Taoist want me to go to the ghost village, right?"

The little fox nodded, looking expectant and anxious.

Chen Hao's mouth twitched.

Mom, I just thought that it wasn't something I could mess with, so why did I go? Should I refuse or refuse?

Seeing Chen Hao hesitating, the little fox became even more anxious, and his squeaking voice became much more rapid. He gestured with his claws, grinned, shivered, and fell down to pretend to be dead, as if he was saying, "I've been waiting for you for so long. If you don't go and see, the result will be very scary and many people will die."

Chen Hao: “…”

After thinking for a while, Chen Hao then spoke: "Fellow Daoist Baihu, I am just an ordinary monk. I ask myself that I don't have any great skills and I can't guarantee whether I can help. So I can agree to go and see it. If I can do anything, I will help you. If I can't do anything, please forgive me."

The little fox was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.

"Okay, fellow Taoist is waiting for me here. I'll go back and prepare and come to find you again." Chen Hao said with a smile.

The little fox immediately regained his calmness, then stood up again, his claws intertwined, and bowed seriously.

Chen Hao didn't know if it was an illusion, but seemed to see the shadow of a real monk from the little fox. He couldn't help but give a solemn greeting.

Back in Mao Lao Village, the village was already bustling, the old one was killing pigs, and the young one was chasing the rooster.

Seeing Chen Hao, the rooster who was hiding everywhere was immediately overjoyed, flew over and flew straight into his arms, with its wings shrinking and trembling.

Chen Hao glanced at the children chasing, about six or seven, the oldest was only seven or eight years old, and the youngest was three or four years old.

When they saw Chen Hao, these children holding wooden sticks hurriedly hid the stick behind them, showing a embarrassed expression on their faces.

The rooster looked at Chen Hao pitifully, as if he was complaining.

Chen Hao looked funny.

If you are afraid of ghosts, dominate the chickens, and you will still be defeated when you meet naughty children.

"The master is back, can you find the Taoist temple?" The old man walked over. He had changed his clothes, and asked with a cigarette pipe in his hand.

Chen Hao nodded: "I have already paid homage. Well, uncle, I may have to delay this pig-killing banquet. I have to be busy with something."

The old man was stunned and hurriedly said, "Master, are you leaving? This doesn't work. You have to eat and stay for a few days, otherwise we will not be able to get through it."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "The uncle misunderstood. It's not that he wants to leave. I discovered the problem left by Master Qianping. I need to check it out."

The old man suddenly changed his expression and said, "You are not going to the forbidden area, are you? Master, that's not a good place, you can't go there."

Chen Hao was a little surprised: "Uncle, do you know the ghost village, too?"

The old man nodded with a serious expression and said, "When our Mao family moved here, the forbidden area existed. It is said that it was a village formed by refugees who escaped from troubled times. I don't know which group of inhumane killing bandits destroyed the village. Later, the village became a dead place, and even wild beasts dared to approach it. When the old Taoist priest came before, he also reminded us that our ancestors moved away, but it was chaotic that way, so we were better off staying there than to move out, so we planned to wait for the stability outside before leaving. But later we found that although the forbidden area was terrible, if we didn't go, we would stay there."

Speaking of this, the old man continued, "But before his death, the old Taoist priest said that if he found that the wild beasts in the mountains began to escape, he must leave, otherwise there would be a big disaster. This matter was recorded in the family motto of our Mao family."

Chen Hao asked, "Did you find any signs of a wild beast running away?"

The old man shook his head and said, "No, otherwise we wouldn't stay here. Master, why are you doing in the forbidden area? The old Taoist priest said before that he left something to suppress over there to ensure safety and you don't have to take risks."

Chen Hao smiled and said, "Since Master Qianping left behind something to suppress, I'll go and see it. If you find something wrong, you can help me, so as not to harm others. Don't worry, uncle."
