Chapter 228: Grimace Wood Carving
This Sun Laosan is worthy of being a lazy man. The room is dirty and messy. Even if he sits in the main hall, he can still smell a pungent stench.
"The humble house is simple and there is no time to clean up, so I'll invite Guan Haihan."
"I'll treat you to wait, old man, I'll go and get the heirlooms now!"
Sun Laosan hurriedly walked into the inner room. After a while, he walked out with something covered with silk cloth.
"The guest official is this thing."
Sun Laosan smiled apologized, and the silk cloth was suddenly lifted up on the table in the main hall, and a three statues of gods stood on it.
Countless light faces were printed on the surface of the statue, as if they were rooted in it. In addition, the scarlet color, even if the carving was very crafted and extremely vivid, it was only with the addition of this "ghost face wood", not only did not have the grand and just momentum of the Three Daozuns, but instead made people feel a strange feeling.
"Hiss~"
Even though I had seen this "ghost-faced wood" wood sculpture with a strange aura several times before, Sun Laosan suddenly took it out, and the strange aura still made the store owner gasp hard.
But because the "guest official" was on his side, he couldn't block the way for money, so he said nonsense and swallowed the words when he reached the corner of his mouth.
Sun Laosan stared at Lin Ruoxu with a nervous look on his face. He didn't know what the young man in front of him asked for this weird wood carving, but this thing was weird and he wanted to take it away for a long time. But in this remote mountainous land, there was no rich gentry who could afford a hundred taels. Even if Xu Pingchang occasionally brought a rich man here, those people often saw the face on the wood carving, fearing that they would cause trouble for themselves, so they let Sun Laosan tell the truth, and no one dared to buy it.
However, the young "guest official" just stared at the wood carving, as if he wanted to see the flowers on it.
After a long time, Sun Laosan finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "This guest, how do you think of this thing?"
Lin Ruoxu turned a deaf ear to the wood carving, frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the wood carving, as if he was thinking about something.
Sun Laosan showed an anxious look on his face, and was about to say something else, when the shop owner suddenly pulled his sleeve and made a move to silence.
Sun Laosan had no choice but to shut up.
After a long time, Lin Ruoxu came to his senses and finally withdrew his eyes, his face as plain as before.
"I want this thing."
While the two were stunned, a full ingot of silver was pressed on the table.
"I won't bargain for one hundred taels of silver, but I need to ask you some questions." Lin Ruoxu said lightly.
Sun Laosan was biting the silver to tell the truth. When he heard Lin Ruoxu's next words, he hurriedly said: "If you have any questions, just ask. I will know everything, little old man!"
"I heard you moved from outside? Where did you move?"
Sun Laosan was slightly stunned. He didn't know what the guest asked about this, but he still said truthfully: "It's a small village in the mountains. My ancestral home is where my little brother is. It's just that there was a strange disaster there before. The people in that village were dead, but I finally escaped."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shop owner's eyes suddenly widened and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Everyone in a village is dead? For such a big thing, why have you never told me about this before?"
"What are you talking about? I can't forget it even if I want to." Sun Laosan muttered.
"Barring! This is a tragic disaster! If the tragic disaster reaches the town, it will be a death!" The shop owner jumped up and cursed with a beard and stared at him.
"Don't worry, a Taoist priest You Fang came at that time and solved the misfortune." Sun Laosan waved his hand slowly and continued: "It's also fortunate that Taoist priest, I can escape from that village alive."
Taoist priest You Fang?
Could it be the "new deacon" mentioned by the deacon of Shanshitang?
Lin Ruoxu frowned slightly and asked again: "Where is the village?"
"From this, enter the mountain, cross two mountains, you will see a mountain shaped like a NiuTou, which is NiuTou Mountain."
"That's the ruined village on the hillside of Niutou Mountain."
"I heard that your ancestors were once rich, how could they end up in such a state?" Lin Ruoxu nodded slightly and asked again.
Sun Laosan smiled bitterly and said, "It was indeed a wealthy person. It was just a careless person. There was a flood in the yard and everyone in the family was buried in the fire."
"Luckily, I happened to go out with my father, so I escaped that disaster."
"It's a pity that everything in the family has burned out since then and it's gone."
Sun Laosan sighed slightly, his eyes flashing with pity and resentment.
Walking through water?
Sea of fire?
Lin Ruoxu connected all these together. At this moment, it was almost certain that the remains of the wreckage he had incorporated into his body must have something to do with Sun Laosan's Sun family.
He had heard the store owner say that the man's surname was Sun before, and he keenly thought of the "Sun Family" he met in the wooden ghost scene when he was promoted.
Although it was only mentioned in a moment, Lin Ruoxu's mental strength can be said to be unforgettable and it is impossible to forget it at all.
Now, there is one more thing to be affirmed.
"Do you have brothers and sisters?" Lin Ruoxu asked suddenly.
Sun Laosan said truthfully: "There is indeed a cousin, but the cousin did not escape and died in the fire."
Then it all matched.
Lin Ruoxu's eyes flashed slightly.
Although I don’t know what happened, it is obvious that something extremely secret and dirty happened on Niutou Mountain at the beginning.
Lin Ruoxu felt that he had to investigate. It was not that he suddenly developed a righteous mind to uphold justice, but that he wanted to go over and see what secrets the Sun family was hiding, and that he could produce a wreckage of mysterious words engraved with mysterious words.
Moreover, this "ghost face wood"...
Lin Ruoxu's eyes fell on the strange wood carving quietly placed in front of him. He had just carefully compared the blood wood in the weird hole for a long time and found that the two were indeed the same wood.
As the blood wood of the remains of the weird object, Lin Ruoxu did not notice anything abnormal about this wood. However, when he saw the real object, he was surprised to find that a very weak consciousness fluctuation came from the depths of the strange wood carving.
It was a fluctuation without independent consciousness, that feeling, like a newborn baby, ignorant, ignorant, and ignorant, and nothing to feel. Everything follows his instinct.
What shocked Lin Ruoxu even more was that this thing was absorbing yin energy instinctively.
Although the speed is extremely slow, he is really absorbing the yin energy between heaven and earth!
This grimace wood carving carved into the statue of the "Three Dao Zun" is not known because of what happened to him the day after tomorrow, or because the "ghost face wood" itself is extraordinary and actually has "consciousness" independently?
