Xu Bai whispered from the side: Elder Wang is the widow of a deceased elder in the clan. She has no children. The clan leader was afraid that she would have no support, so he arranged for her to be an elder and hired someone to take care of her.

, the old lady is enjoying peace and happiness now.

Elder Wang, I have never seen her. Hearing Guan Heng's question, Xu Fei said: "I don't know the specific things. Xu Bai, take Guan Heng and Ruotao to find Elder Wang. I'm busy again."

.

A short while later, Elder Wang's residence was on the west side of the village. After Xu Bai sent Guan Heng and the others over, he left to do some work. Elder Wang, a kind-hearted old lady, warmly invited Guan Heng and Ruotao to sit down.

He told Guan Heng what he wanted to do.

It turns out that Elder Wang always stayed at home to receive blessings and seldom 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 pets to the western foot of Songuo Mountain because of the terrain there.

It is flat and convenient for the elderly to walk.

But not long after the two of them arrived there, a burst of black mist suddenly flew through the air, and a ghost roar came from the mist, which immediately frightened the little pet beast in Elder Wang's arms, the Mo Mei Spirit Fox, out of his wits. The little fox was all over the body.

They all have light golden fur, except for the pattern of three or two dark plum petals on their forehead, hence their name.

The plum fox was frightened by the ghost's roar and panicked. It immediately jumped out of Elder Wang's arms, plunged into the grass nest and fled without a trace. Elder Wang has no children, except for his niece who can find time to take care of him.

Yin, this little fox was left as his companion. When he saw the Mo Mei Spirit Fox running away, it made the old man very distressed.

But when they were about to chase after them, a few black shadows suddenly emerged from the ghost mist, blocking the way of an old man and a young man. If it weren't for a few tribesmen who were carrying ore passing by and yelling to scare away the ghosts, the elder Wang and the young man would have been killed.

Yin may be in danger.

Xiao Yin, who was making tea and serving water for the old man, said at this moment: That's right, my aunt heard that Brother Guan is good at controlling ghosts, so she wanted to ask you for a favor and go to the foot of Xilu Mountain to find the whereabouts of the Mo Mei Spirit Fox.

We didn't dare to go because we were really scared.

Speaking of this, Elder Wang and Xiao Yin both had a look of embarrassment on their faces. They were not very familiar with Guan Heng, so it seemed a bit excessive to rashly make such a request to a noble guest of their own clan.

But Guan Heng said nonchalantly: No problem, just find a little fox. Just leave it to me. Elder Wang, don't worry. As long as the little guy doesn't run out of the Songguo Mountain area, I won't have any trouble finding him.

.

After hearing this, Miss Xiao Yin immediately said with surprise: It's great that Brother Guan is willing to help.

Having said this, Xiao Yin paused for a moment, and then continued with some embarrassment: Actually, I also have a big responsibility for the Mo Mei Spirit Fox getting lost this time. If it weren't for the fact that I was too afraid to chase it, the little guy

Maybe he won't disappear.

Xiao Yin, stop talking. Elder Wang patted his niece on the back of her hand and whispered: I know, you are afraid that this old woman like me will be in danger, so you have been standing by and dare not move. Silly boy, I am not

Maybe it's your fault.

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

Wait for a moment. Elder Wang said with a smile: You two are so eager to help. If I, the wife, don’t say anything, it would be 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 opened the lid, Guan Heng and Ruotao's eyes suddenly lit up. Inside the box were some small things polished with bronze, such as small carriages, small houses, and even lifelike ones.

Small animals.

Wow, it’s so exquisite and beautiful. Ruotao picked up a bronze deer and said with admiration: Put it in your hand and it’s like it’s alive. It’s amazing. Whose craftsmanship is this?

Elder Wang laughed and said: These are all small things made by my old lady.

It turns out that these ingenious things are actually your masterpieces

After listening to Guan Heng's words, Elder Wang smiled slightly and said: I am a lonely old woman who has served as the elder of the Weishui tribe in vain, but I don't have the strength to forge armor and weapons, so I have to start with fine workmanship and study some delicate carvings and chisels.

The carving technique was originally meant to relieve boredom, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a climate change.

The ancient bronze objects carved and polished by my aunt are quite famous in the three ancient countries. Xiao Yin also said next to her: But she rarely gives her works to others.

Come here, Guan Hengruotao, take whatever you want, don't be polite to the old lady, I can't give you a better reward anyway.

After hearing what Elder Wang said, the two looked at each other and smiled, so Guan Heng picked up a pair of extremely delicate small millstones the size of a palm, while Ruotao held up a cute panda holding a small ball, which was only bigger than a walnut.

Although they are not lacking in facial features, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, they are really vivid.

Hahaha, if you are discerning, this small millstone is not just a decoration, it can really be used to grind tiny beans. Elder Wang smiled at this time and said: And the panda is my best work this year. This man

I'm afraid I'll never be able to make such a detailed animal again.

Then this isn’t my mother-in-law’s treasure and I don’t dare to take it. After hearing this, Ruotao wanted to put the little bear with the ball back into the box. Elder Wang hurriedly closed the lid of the box. She said: That won’t work, I said so

If I want to give it to you, I must accept it, otherwise I will be angry.

No, no, then I'll take it. As Ruotao said, she held the little bear in her hand, making the people around her laugh.

A short while later, under the guidance of Xiao Yin, Guan Heng and Ruotao arrived at the western foot of Songuo Mountain. It was indeed a flat open land, with almost no trees except for the wormwood as high as a person's height on both sides of the road.

I heard from the elders that more than a hundred years ago, there was also a virgin forest at the foot of Xilu Mountain.

Xiao Yin said to Guan Heng and the others at this moment: But then the copper mine was first discovered here. In order to facilitate the extraction of ore and transport it back to the village, everyone cut down the entire forest. After decades of mining, the copper mine became

When nothing more could be dug out, it was abandoned.

So that's it. Guan Heng looked at the surrounding environment at this time, and he whispered to Ruotao: The aura of demons and ghosts is very strong. It seems that there is a whole group of guys living here.
Chapter completed!
