C19 Lower cliff

I also know why my grandfather brought me along. He just wanted me to experience a little more.

Even if I don't go find Fan Zhen, I will go to the back of the mountain because I still have to save Zhu San and before Old Zhu and Old Zhu's sixth soul dispersed, he also told me and my grandfather to go to the back of the mountain.

However, nothing unexpected happened in the village today. This could be considered as good news.

Fan Zhen had been pressing a stone against my chest the entire time. As long as she doesn't die, I won't be able to rest easy. Fan Zhen had absorbed the yang energy from the two young boys, so her injuries were almost completely healed.

Fan Zhen is not the biggest threat to me. The biggest threat to me is the mysterious person that gave away the paper man in the coffin.

I know that Fan Zhen wanted to harm me, I know that, but I don't have any clue as to who that life-giving paper man is. I don't have any clue as to why he was hiding in the dark and threatening me the most, because you don't know when he would jump out and bite you.

These thoughts filled my head, making me feel a little breathless. I shook my head and stopped thinking about these things. I could only take one step at a time.

Grandpa and I didn't go far before we met old Mr. Tian.

When Mr. Tian saw me and my grandfather, he asked me and my grandfather what we were going to do.

I went to the back of the mountain to look for the villager who harmed the villagers and killed Li Yuan's family. They were all killed by my grandfather last night.

After Mr. Tian heard this, he asked me if it was true.

Old mister Tian's face revealed a joyous expression as he said to his grandpa, "Thank you for your hard work."

Grandfather hurriedly said that this was what he should do.

"Zhentian, if you need any help, just ask. Everyone will help you unconditionally." Old Mr. Tian said to his grandfather.

"I don't need everyone's help. Old mister Tian, I'll have to trouble you to inform the villagers to grab a rooster and place it in front of our house." His grandfather thought for a while before saying to Old mister Tian.

"Why is that?" Old Mr. Tian didn't understand why his grandfather had the villagers tie a chicken to the door.

I also looked curiously at my grandfather. I don't understand why Grandpa said that.

"The crowing of a rooster can scare off evil spirits, but if something evil is about to enter a villager's house and the big rooster sees it, the rooster will make a sound, and even if it can't scare off a ghost, it can still remind the villagers." Grandfather said.

Old Mr. Tian nodded after hearing that and left to inform the villagers.

After leaving old mister Tian, grandpa and I sped up and headed to the back mountain. After that, we didn't meet a single villager.

In the past, our village had become very lively and deserted. Because of the matter with Lin Fan and Li Yuan's family, none of the villagers dared to come out. They all hid at home, afraid that they would get into trouble or be targeted.

When grandfather and I arrived at the back of the mountain, he directly led me in a certain direction. He didn't act like last time, he was extremely careful with every step he took.

It seems like the last time Grandfather asked me to go home, he went to the back of the mountain to scout.

At the same time, I paid attention to my surroundings and wanted to see if I could figure out where Zhu San had brought me to. Unfortunately, my surroundings didn't resemble the place that Zhu San had brought me to, nor did I know where Zhu San had brought me to the back of the mountain.

I followed my grandfather for about twenty minutes until we came to a cliff.

When I saw that my grandfather had stopped, I immediately grabbed my back. Because the back of the mountain was covered in weeds, I followed him along the way. My body was covered with weeds, and it was very itchy.

I discovered that there weren't any weeds on my grandfather's body. Logically speaking, if my grandfather was walking in front, he should have more weeds than me because he was the one who led the way. But now, there isn't any weeds on my grandfather's body.

I took a careful look at my grandfather and was surprised to find that the grass beside him had maintained a fingernail gap with my grandfather. It was as if there was something protecting my grandfather, preventing him from being touched by the weeds.

"Why can't Grandpa Weeds touch you?" I asked curiously.

Grandfather smiled at me, then formed a hand sign with one hand. A gray air current started emitting from my grandfather's body, it was this grey air current that blocked the weeds and my grandfather's Qi flow. Last night, it was the same grey air current that blocked Old Zhu's deboning knife.

"Grandpa, what's this gray air current?" I asked in surprise, and reached out to touch the gray air, but I immediately regretted it, because when I touched the gray air, it felt as though I had been pricked with needles. I quickly pulled my hand back.

"This is what it is like to be able to protect the body and to injure the enemy. If you meditate according to the method I gave you, you will also be able to produce this fruit." Grandfather said with a smile, and then he made a hand sign to hide the grey air current.

"Grandpa, can you tell me exactly what this is?" I know that I can cultivate the fruit according to the meditation method given to me by my grandfather, but I don't know what the fruit is.

Grandfather thought for a moment and said to me, "To be more accurate, it should be considered a type of energy. Those techniques to capture ghosts must be executed by the user. If the body does not have any energy, then no matter how many techniques one knows, they would not be able to use them."

"Then when will Grandpa be able to cultivate it?" I've been practicing according to grandpa's method for three days, and I still can't feel a thing.

"I'm not sure about that, but that old man pierced your acupoint, so you should be able to make it faster than ordinary people." Grandfather said after thinking for a moment.

When I left the small room with my grandfather, the skinny old man told my grandfather that he opened my Qi point and said that I would learn a lot more smoothly in the future. At that time, I could not understand at all and only now did I understand that I could quickly see through the old man, if I were to meet him in the future, I would have to thank him.

"Then grandpa, how long did it take you to get this fruit?" I asked Grandpa because I wanted to know how long it would take to get the fruit, but he said something that made me freeze and I heard him say, "One day."

"What day?" I was shocked as I looked at my grandfather in disbelief. I thought that my grandfather would say a few months or even a few years ago, but I didn't expect that my grandfather would only use a single day to master the technique.

After that, Grandfather ignored me and took out the rusted compass, beginning to measure the feng shui here.

What grandpa said just now completely shocked me. I trained bitterly for two days and I didn't feel anything at all. grandpa only used one day, the difference was too big.

Grandfather used the compass at the edge of the cliff to measure it for a while. Then, he looked at the bottom of the cliff and said, "It seems that I'll have to go for a while."

"Grandpa, please let me go down." I said as soon as I heard my grandfather was going down.

I was born in the countryside, I climbed the tree to touch the birds, I went up the mountain to catch rabbits, and my body is still considered agile. In addition, the vines on the cliff walls are all very strong, so the villagers would look for these vines to use for knitting hemp rope. As long as I follow the vines a little more carefully, nothing unexpected happens.

When Pappy heard I was going down the cliff, he narrowed his eyes, stared at me, and said a good word.

Even though grandfather's eyes were narrowed, I could still see a hint of approval in his eyes. Since I was young, this was the first time grandfather looked at me in such a way.

"The Miasma below is heavy, but there will be some evil. Take this and protect yourself. If you really meet evil, just call me in time." Grandfather took out a short wooden sword from his sleeve and passed it to me.

I took the wooden sword and started stroking it. There were two words engraved on the wooden sword: Pardon me.

"Qiankun, if you like it, I'll give you this wooden sword." Pappy patted my shoulder.

"Really." I looked towards Grandfather. Even now, I still haven't received the gift that Grandpa gave me. This is the first time, so my heart was moved.

Grandfather nodded at me. Seeing that he was really willing to give me the wooden sword, I pinned it to my waist, then walked to the front of the cliff and grabbed a vine to slowly slide down. I slipped very slowly, afraid that if I wasn't careful, I would fall down and break my bones.
