Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 271, Section 268. This is simply a slap in the face of Mr. Qi.

Missing!!

That's not a nice word!
Unless it is a special case, people will not use the word missing to describe it.

Xu Ran frowned slightly.

He looked at everyone, and their expressions were not relieved.

Xu Ran’s brows furrowed even more tightly.

Many possibilities and responses came to mind.

From people's eyes, he sensed that there seemed to be a bad atmosphere.

"Missing? How could he disappear? No trace at all? A strange disappearance?"

After a moment, Xu Ran murmured, then looked at Qi Lao and the others and asked, "What happened?"

There is only one possibility for Xu Binghu to disappear, and that is that he got lost in the mountains...

Although the materials for the fourth body refining have been preliminarily gathered, he wants to find better bones for Xu Ran to temper his body every day.

If you act recklessly...

"Mr. Qi, don't you know where my father is?"

Jiang Che looked at Mr. Qi.

The only one who knew the inside story of the disappearance was Mr. Qi.

Old Qi explained the situation with an apologetic look on his face, "Three days ago, we went into the mountains to hunt snake demons. One of the snake demons escaped, and Sick Tiger, wanting to avoid leaving any future trouble, chased it out. As a result, it never returned!"

The main responsibility for this matter still lies with Old Qi and the others. If their strength were not too low, they would need Xu Binghu to be with them all the time and teach them in real time. With Xu Binghu's strength, he could wander around the outskirts of the mountains alone. If their protection was not inadequate, the snake demon would not have escaped the encirclement and would not have disappeared.

"Xiao Ran, what should we do?!" Lian Ji was also very anxious. Although she was the elder, she subconsciously let Xu Ran take control of the whole thing.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm here." Xu Ran first comforted Lian Ji, then looked at Old Qi.

"Master Qi, I already know what's going on. So, you guys should rest tonight. We'll organize a guard team to go into the mountains tomorrow morning. We only need to search the outskirts of the village. Xiaobai and I can handle the rest of the place!"

"Lie——" Xiaobai let out a long howl.

Xu Ran arranged everything in just a few words. Everyone present was taller than him, but no one dared to object because his strength was there.

When Lian Ji heard Xu Ran's arrangements, her anxious heart calmed down a little unconsciously. She was no longer as anxious as at the beginning, as if all problems could be solved with Xu Ran here.

Xiaobai was also standing beside Xu Ran, with sharp eyes, looking towards the direction of the mountain. Quietly, the [Divine Eagle Technique] was activated, as if he could see through everything in the mountain.

Suddenly, Xiaobai's eyes focused, and he discovered something bad, and his breath suddenly became disordered.

Suddenly, the air currents all around gathered towards Xiaobai, and the villagers nearby began to tremble uncontrollably and couldn't stop at all.

"Xiaobai, calm down!"

As Xu Ran's voice rang out, the trembling villagers suddenly returned to normal. At the same time, an extremely warm air flow circulated around them.

"Xiaobai, what happened?"

Just as Xu Ran's voice was ringing, a hurried sound came from the village gate.

"Mr. Qi, something happened in Dashan!"

Then a villager ran in hurriedly.

Xu Binghu had just disappeared, and now something happened in Dashan. Could the two be related? Everyone suddenly became nervous.

"What happened?" Mr. Qi's voice was trembling a little.

"The mountain... The mountain is nearing the edge of the depths, and fog is rising!!"

It's getting foggy!!

When the people present heard the news, they panicked. When they were looking for people in the mountains this morning, although they did not go deep into the area, they went back and forth several times on the edge of the outer area, and there was no fog. As a result, fog appeared at night, and it was when Xu Binghu disappeared. It was hard to believe that there was no connection.

Xu Ran and Xiaobai also frowned. Among the people present, if they were to say who knew Dashan best, Xu Ran and Xiaobai would be second to none, and no one would dare to claim to be first.

They fly back and forth over the mountains almost every day. If there is fog, there must be. There are some areas that Xu Ran and his team cannot explore.

However, there was fog even in the deep mountains. This was really strange.

When the villagers around heard the news, their faces became solemn and they began to whisper.

"Why is there fog on this mountain all of a sudden? This has never happened before in such a long time!"

"Nothing big is going to happen inside this mountain, right?!"

"The one who can make such a thick fog rise from the mountain must be a powerful monster, this sick tiger."

"Binghu's luck is so bad. How come he just disappeared and then encountered this heavy fog?"

"No, it must be the heavy fog that caused the sick tiger to disappear. Perhaps, in the fog, the sick tiger has entered the territory of the great demon, I'm afraid."

As experienced hunters, everyone knew very well what would happen if they encountered heavy fog in the mountains. Not to mention, this fog was most likely caused by a big monster. If it weren't for Lian Ji being by their side, they would have said directly that Xu Binghu was in great danger.

Lian Ji had just calmed down because of Xu Ran's appearance, but when something like this happened again, her tears suddenly burst out and she couldn't stop them.

"What are you talking about?!" Qi Lao's strong voice rang out, interrupting everyone's whispers. "Everyone has seen how Binghu treats us. Can't you say something nice?"

"Besides, it's just a thick fog. Who says it was caused by a demon? It's just a coincidence. The sick tiger will definitely come back!"

When Mr. Qi said this, he felt a little guilty. He knew very well the situation in the mountains. The sudden fog was enough to show that Xu Binghu might really be in danger.

"Mr. Qi." Someone in the crowd raised his hand.

"What's the matter?" Mr. Qi asked unhappily.

"That's right." The person asking the question took a deep breath, a look of determination on his face, and spoke resolutely.

"None of us brothers have ever seen such a thick fog rising from this mountain, and we don't know if there's any danger inside. Of course, we are also very concerned about the safety of the sick tiger, but none of us have ever seen it before."

It would be impolite to say more.

Qi Lao's face suddenly turned ugly. This was simply a slap in his face! !
"you."

Just as Qi Lao was about to say something, Xu Ran spoke up. "I know that my father has been missing for the past three days, and the uncles and aunts in the village have helped a lot. This sudden fog was completely unexpected. To be honest, I've never seen it before!"

"There is indeed an unknown danger. Everyone, please rest first. I won't bother you with my father's affairs."

"My mother is tired too, let's go back first!"

Xu Ran directly ordered them to leave.

"Xiao Ran." Just as Mr. Qi was about to say something, he saw Xiao Bai and Lian Ji walking into the room. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

In fact, Xu Ran did not mean to blame the villagers. After all, he himself did not know why the fog appeared. There might really be unknown dangers. Moreover, the strength of these villagers was too weak. If there was really something in the fog, they would definitely be in great danger.

Three days ago, Mr. Qi also gathered everyone to search the outskirts of the mountain. Since they couldn't find it, it must be outskirts.

After Xu Ran and Xiao Bai sent Lian Ji back to her room, Lian Ji asked directly, "Xiao Ran, your father will be fine, right?"

Xu Ran held Lian Ji's small hand, and a wisp of innate energy slowly flowed into her body. At the same time, he softly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry, it's okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Ji's eyes slowly closed, her breathing became steady, and she fell into a deep sleep.

He immediately stood up and said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you go east and I'll go west. We'll each search in one direction and search for Daddy in all directions."

Then he glanced at Lian Ji and said, "I have already transferred a strand of innate energy into Mother's body. She will be asleep for the entire day tomorrow. I will try to find Father within a day!"

Xiaobai nodded and flew towards the east of the mountain.

Xu Ran glanced at Lian Ji and also flew towards the west of the mountain.

In a village a hundred miles away from Dahuangbian Village, in the center of the place, there is a big pot with a blazing fire underneath and blood-red liquid constantly boiling inside the pot.

Sitting in this big pot was a dark-skinned, muscular man, with his thick muscles clearly visible through his clothes.

Around the big pot, a group of people knelt on the ground with looks of horror on their faces, very afraid of this strong man.

The blood-red liquid around the man kept rolling, and the steaming blood-red mist formed a monkey shadow above his head. This shadow was ten meters high.

"You dead beast! I don't care how powerful you were in life. Once you're dead, you're dead. It's your honor to let Wang Shan absorb it and become the material for my third body refining!"

Wang Shan's voice echoed around the village. The already dark sky seemed to be covered with a layer of black gauze with the appearance of the phantom.

"boom--"

The boiling cauldron suddenly exploded. Wang Shan, who was practicing body training, stepped on the ground and rushed towards the monkey shadow in the sky, with his five fingers spread out like eagle claws.

The monkey's shadow, which was originally tens of meters long, turned into a cloud of ash the moment the five fingers touched it and went straight into Wang Shan's body.

"boom--"

After landing, Wang Shan was like a heavy weight. The ground around him shook a little, and his aura swept out like waves.

The faces of the people kneeling on the ground became even more terrified. Some frail old people and children were even thrown away and lay on the ground wailing. The people kneeling on the ground did not dare to help them up, not even their own relatives dared to stand up.

"Why, your relatives have fallen to the ground, and you don't want to help them? Do you still want me to help them?"

Wang Shan's voice sounded hoarse, and to everyone, it sounded like the sound of hell.

When the people kneeling on the ground heard Wang Shan's words, those relatives who were blown away stood up immediately, thinking of going over to help them quickly and see what was going on.

As a result, as soon as I stood up, an indescribable pressure swept over my body, as if a mountain was pressing down on me, and at the same time there was the sound of crackling bones breaking.

"what!!"

"what!!"

"what!!"

"what!!"

Screams were heard one after another, and those who stood up were instantly crushed by the sudden pressure, leaving only bone fragments scattered on the ground, and some broken bones even fell on the heads of the kneeling people.

With the examples of these people, no matter how scared you are, you dare not move.

"Haha!" Wang Shan laughed suddenly, looking down at the kneeling people. "To be honest, I want to thank you for bringing back the Body Refining Secret Manual. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known I had such a talent!"

Wang Shan was originally just a gangster in the village, relying on his muscles to bully men and women. But before that, everyone in the village united, and no matter how powerful Wang Shan was, he could not defeat the entire village.

Ever since the poisonous snakes massacred the entire village in the Great Wilderness, the villagers brought back the body-refining secrets. As a result, Wang Shan had some kind of bad luck, but he first found the corpse of a recently dead monster around the village, which allowed him to complete the first body-refining and become the first person in the village to do so.

From then on, Wang Shan began a life of bullying men and women in the true sense. The young men in the village really couldn't stand Wang Shan, so they gathered together and went into the mountains to hunt monsters and perform their first body training in order to fight against Wang Shan.

After almost all the young men in the village were mobilized, they finally killed a monster using human wave tactics. However, it was intercepted by Wang Shan who followed them and used the monster's blood to perform a second body refining.

The third time he had just completed his body training, he was also extremely lucky. While hunting in the mountains, he accidentally fell into a cave, and there happened to be a bottle of preserved monkey blood in it.

This monkey must have been a great demon when he was alive, otherwise, his body would have decayed but his blood would still be preserved.

This time, Wang Shan also endured the third body training, and his strength reached a full 2500 kilograms. He also obtained the monkey's bloodline supernatural power and gravity suppression, which allowed him to crush people into pieces.

"To be honest, I really need to thank the people in Dahuangbian Village for being so generous and sharing the body-refining secrets with me." Wang Shan said, touching his chin.

At this time, a shifty-looking man came out, bowed respectfully and said, "Brother Wang, I heard that Xu Binghu from Dahuangbian Village has disappeared in the mountains!"

"Oh?! What happened?"

Wang Shan was a little surprised.

"They said they went to the mountains to hunt monsters and encountered some big monster. They never came back. Three days have passed and there's no news at all!!"

Everyone knows Xu Binghu's reputation, and everyone also knows that the body-refining secrets were given to each village by Xu Binghu.

"I heard that this Xu Binghu is also doing his third body refining, right?"

"Yes, Xu Binghu is the strongest man in Dahuangbian Village, and also the strongest man in Dashan Village." Then he changed the subject, "Of course, the strongest man right now is you, Brother Wang!"

"Is that so?!" Wang Shan pondered for a moment, then slammed the table and made a decision, "If that's the case, then it's time for us to thank the good people in Dahuangbian Village. If it weren't for them, how could I, Wang Shan, have reached the third stage of body refinement?"

After saying that, he stood up and laughed, heading towards the village on the edge of the wilderness.

The young man with shifty eyes was followed by a group of hooligans, and they were heading towards the village on the edge of the wilderness.
