C1083 The Mystery of the Jade Pendant

"Are you threatening me?"

Elder Gu raised his head, and his turbid gaze suddenly became unusually sharp. The turbid look in his eyes quickly retreated like a tide.

His gaze was like a sharp blade that pierced into Xu Feng's heart, as if it was going to pierce through Xu Feng's internal organs.

"With such a gaze, if I still believe that you are an ordinary old man, then I would be seeing a ghost!"

Xu Feng said in his heart. Then, he pretended to be very panicked and took four or five steps back, breathing heavily.

After a long time, Xu Feng seemed to have calmed down. He said, "One look from Mr. Gu scared me so much that I trembled. He must be one of the strong ones!"

"Kid, stop playing dumb here. I won't fall for your trick!"

Taking a deep breath, Elder Gu slowly calmed down. His sharp eyes became cloudy again, like a dying old man. There was nothing special about him.

However, after that look just now, Xu Feng was even more certain that Elder Gu was not an ordinary person.

After a pause, Elder Gu continued, "You can leave. I have not been involved in the affairs of the world for a long time. I am not a person of your world. Don't disturb the peace of the village!"

Elder Gu's words were clearly admitting that he was a practitioner. Xu Feng was a little puzzled. Since Elder Gu was a cultivator, why didn't he sense any Qi of a cultivator from Elder Gu? Could it be that Elder Gu's strength was far greater than his?

This thought flashed across Xu Feng's mind, but it was quickly rejected. If Elder Gu's strength was really that powerful, then Death God Forest would no longer pose any threat to him.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Xu Feng said sincerely, "I didn't come here to disturb you on purpose. I just fell into the dense forest by accident! I was able to meet you. It could be considered fate. If Elder Gu knew the method to remove the curse... Please tell this junior! "

Regardless of Elder Gu's attitude, Xu Feng was still honest. He didn't have much time left. If Elder Gu really didn't know, then he could only find another way.

This time, Elder Gu didn't get angry. He looked at Xu Feng, thinking about something. After a long time, he sighed and said lightly, "The curse is hard to break. You should enjoy the rest of your time."

After saying that, Old Gu turned around and left, leaving the stunned Xu Feng behind.

He had come with hope, but he had gotten such a result. How could he be satisfied?

"Elder Gu, saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. If you know, then please tell me!"

When he came back to his senses, Elder Gu was already standing at the entrance of the village. Xu Feng was shouting loudly outside. Unfortunately, Elder Gu did not even turn his head and soon disappeared from the village.

"Sigh..."

Sighing lightly, Xu Feng sat down. Currently, the village did not welcome him. His injuries had not healed yet. It was basically impossible for him to return. Therefore, the only way was to rest outside the village. He would wait until his injuries were better before leaving.

That ghost cultivator wasn't a fool. He could be fooled by Xu Feng for the first time. However, Xu Feng couldn't guarantee that he could fool him the second time. After all, these ghost cultivators were old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years. Although they were old, they were still ghosts.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xu Feng absorbed the Spiritual Force of Heaven and Earth and slowly recovered from his injuries. Unknowingly, the sky had darkened.

"Am I really going to die?"

As the night fell, Xu Feng gradually opened his eyes. He raised his head to look at the sky full of starlight and muttered softly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but it wasn't the time for him to die yet. He still had many things to do.

"Don't worry. You may not die if you are ugly!"

Xu Feng felt a little melancholy in his heart. At this moment, a very familiar voice was heard. It was Wang Shuo, who had returned to the village.

"Sigh, it is difficult to explain in one word."

Xu Feng sighed and shook his head. His face was full of melancholy.

Zither Devil had already said that once the curse was cast, it would be difficult to remove it. Now, he was only here to find a glimmer of hope.

"I have wine and you have a story. Tell me, I will wait!"

Wang Shuo took out a pot of wine from somewhere and two wine glasses as he spoke heartily.

"Alright!"

Xu Feng smiled. He was not a pessimistic person. He took the wine from Wang Shuo and drank it in one gulp. Instantly, a burning sensation spread throughout his body and gave him some warmth in his heart.

"Good wine!"

If this wine was drunk normally, Xu Feng wouldn't feel anything. But at this moment, he felt that such a hot wine had warmed his heart.

"Haha... I didn't expect you to be an alcoholic as well. Come, come, feed yourself!"

As the saying goes, a thousand glasses of wine is not enough to meet an intimate friend. When Wang Shuo saw Xu Feng like this, he knew that Xu Feng was an experienced drinker. He shouted excitedly, and Xu Feng did not stand on ceremony either. After pouring himself a cup, he continued drinking.

The final result was, of course, Wang Shuo was stunned by Xu Feng's drinking. He directly fell asleep on the side of the road.

How could a mortal possibly beat Xu Feng?

In the middle of the night, a breeze gradually blew. Xu Feng's body reeked of alcohol and was similarly hazy. It was just that he had not collapsed yet.

The current him did not dare to faint and fall asleep. Although this was not the Death God Forest, he still did not dare to fall asleep. No one knew if the ghost cultivator would chase after them. If he attacked while Xu Feng was sleeping... He was afraid that Xu Feng wouldn't even know how he died!

A trace of Yuan energy flowed through Xu Feng's body. After removing a wisp of smoke from his pores, most of the Alcohol Qi in his body disappeared, and he regained consciousness.

After taking a look at his surroundings, Xu Feng didn't find anything special, so he continued to sit cross-legged and recover his body.

A year had passed, and it had been more than half a month. He had to make the best use of his time to recover his body, and continue to look for the next method. He could not hang himself in this small village. The words he had said to Elder Gu during the day... They were just words of anger.

Very quickly, Xu Feng entered a meditative state, and time passed by minute by minute. When the first ray of sunlight shone down in the morning, Xu Feng slowly opened his eyes. After a night of recovery, his body had recovered by forty to fifty percent. He believed that he would recover in a few days.

"Elder Gu?"

When Xu Feng opened his eyes, he found Elder Gu standing in front of him, and in his hand was a jade pendant. This jade pendant was given to Xu Feng when Murong Xiu and Xu Feng parted ways.

Xu Feng had always carried this jade pendant with him, and even treated it as his most precious thing. He never left his side, but now, it somehow ended up in Elder Gu's hand.

As for the Wang Shuo who drank with him last night, he had no idea where he went now.

When Xu Feng called Elder Gu, Elder Gu was looking at the jade pendant in his hand in a daze.

"This jade pendant, how did you get it?"

Looking away from the jade pendant, Elder Gu looked at Xu Feng. His voice was no longer as muddy as before. Instead, it was a strange color.

Slowly standing up, Xu Feng stretched out his hand, wanting to take the jade pendant back. However, Elder Gu opened his hand and his expression became nervous. He looked at Xu Feng with burning eyes. It was obvious that he was saying... If Xu Feng didn't say it clearly, then he wouldn't be able to take back the jade pendant.

"Elder Gu, return the jade pendant to me first. I will tell you later!"

Xu Feng frowned. After all, that was something his mother had given him, and it was regarded as a treasure by Xu Feng. If something were to happen to it, he didn't know what Xu Feng would do.

"I will return the jade pendant to you. Let me make it clear first!"

However, this time, Elder Gu also became very firm. His tone was even more firm than when he refused Xu Feng to enter the village.

Sensing that Elder Gu also cared about the jade pendant very much, and after ensuring that he would not harm the jade pendant, Xu Feng told Elder Gu the origin of the jade pendant.

"You are Xiu-Er's child?"0

Elder Gu's eyes were wide open. He looked at Xu Feng from head to toe, but still shook his head.

Xu Feng was beyond recognition now. He really did not believe that Murong Xiu's child would be like this.

"In the sea, I was cursed by the Big Mouth Sea Lion and was beyond recognition. Otherwise, I wouldn't be like this!"

Xu Feng had no choice but to smile bitterly. He explained again. Ever since he was disfigured, he could not remember how many times he had been looked down upon because of his appearance.

However, his current appearance was not the problem that he was worried about. Removing the curse was the most important thing right now.

"Now you can return the jade pendant to me, right?"

Seeing that Elder Gu still had no reaction, Xu Feng couldn't help but urge him again.

This jade pendant had a special meaning to him. Even if the Medicine King Cauldron fell on someone else's body, Xu Feng wouldn't be so anxious. However, this jade pendant wouldn't allow any losses.

After returning the jade pendant to Xu Feng, Elder Gu sighed and said slowly, "What should come will always come. Follow me into the village!"

Although Xu Feng was full of doubts, he did not say anything. He followed closely behind and entered the village not long after.

This village was not considered big. There were about a hundred households. Xu Feng already knew this. The houses were also very simple and crude. However, the village was very lively. Except for some children who were playing. Some adults were also training their physical strength in an orderly manner.

Seeing Xu Feng, this stranger, enter the village, they all stopped to look at him. Their eyes were filled with curiosity, and many children were talking about him.

Their village could be considered isolated from the world, and it was difficult to be discovered. No outsider had ever come here before, so they were naturally very curious about Xu Feng's appearance here.

"Little Older Brother Feng, grandpa finally allowed you to enter the village!"

Very quickly, Qing Er appeared in the crowd. When she saw Xu Feng, she walked over and wanted to pull Xu Feng's hand. Suddenly, she realized that she was still in front of the crowd. She smiled embarrassedly and lowered her head deeply.

"Qing Er, what did grandpa tell you? Don't be reckless when you are a little girl! "

Elder Gu frowned, but Qing Er did not dare to speak. She quietly stood beside Xu Feng.

"Come with me!"

Elder Gu walked in front, followed by Xu Feng and Qing Er. Qing Er. He glanced at Xu Feng from time to time, as if he had some questions he wanted to ask. But because Elder Gu was here, she did not dare to ask. He could only stand shoulder to shoulder, obediently following behind!
