Chapter 665 644: Witch Doctor Cuo Damu
Ren Feng never expected that upon arriving in Miaojiang, the first person he would encounter would be a Divine Realm expert.
Now, Ren Feng completely put away his underestimation of Miaojiang. As the old man said, there are many things in this world that he does not know.
In other words, if he had previously been roaming freely in the United States, it was merely on an ordinary level, while Miaojiang was a level above that.
It's like climbing steps; as Ren Feng's strength improves, the people and events he encounters are also constantly rising.
"Young man, come in."
Liang Hongkuan smiled cheerfully.
Ren Feng followed behind them and entered the house together.
"I'll make you some tea."
Liang Keqing said happily, while Ren Feng and Liang Hongkuan sat down.
As soon as Liang Keqing left, Ren Feng immediately became serious, clasping his fists and said, "Uncle, I didn't mean to deceive Keqing. I really came here to treat the Nine Yang Tribulation on my body."
"I know," Liang Hongkuan stroked his beard. "The Nine Yang Physique is one in a million; although rare, it's not unheard of. This illness is difficult to treat."
"That's why I came to Miaojiang. I got information that there are herbal remedies here that can treat the Nine Yang Tribulation," Ren Feng said sincerely. "Do you know anything about this, Uncle?"
Ren Feng was now unwilling to miss any source of information. When Liang Hongkuan tested him earlier, his mention of the Nine Yang Tribulation was also a test of the other party. It's apparent that the other party knew about the Nine Yang Physique, so they may also have a treatment method.
Liang Hongkuan shook his head, "This physique is very unusual. I've only seen it recorded in texts before, but this is the first time I've seen a real Nine Yang Physique."
Ren Feng looked a bit disappointed; he didn't expect Liang Hongkuan didn't know either.
"Young man, I have something to ask you. Are you from the martial world?" Liang Hongkuan stared at Ren Feng.
"No," Ren Feng shook his head.
Liang Hongkuan internally breathed a small sigh of relief.
Ren Feng said, "I have been a mercenary abroad all this time, and only recently returned home."
"I see," Liang Hongkuan stroked his beard. "Just stay in the village for a while and look around. Miaojiang has many magical places. Later, I'll have Keqing take you to see our village's Witch Doctor Cuo Damu to see if he can cure your Nine Yang Physique."
Ren Feng nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Liang."
"The tea is here."
At that moment, Liang Keqing came in smiling with a tray of tea.
"Come, try it; this is Miao tea, very different in taste."
Liang Hongkuan said with a smile.
Ren Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After chatting with Liang Hongkuan for a while longer, Ren Feng and Liang Keqing left the room.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Witch Doctor Cuo Damu."
Liang Keqing led the way in front, and Ren Feng followed beside her.
"Keqing, why did those two groups have a conflict today?" Ren Feng asked.
Liang Keqing hesitated, "Ren Feng, this is a village matter. You'd better not look into it. I don't want you getting involved. Otherwise, it could be very troublesome later."
Ren Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, just tell me briefly. I'm very curious."
"Alright then. It all started a few years ago when the village chief suddenly fell ill at a gathering, and our village lost its backbone. At the same time, to compete for the position of village chief, the village split into two factions. One was headed by Miao Wei of the Miao faction, and the other by Wu Meng of the Wu faction. Both factions' elders wanted the position of village chief, which led to a struggle."
Liang Keqing walked ahead, greeting passersby as she spoke.
"Later, the conflict between the two factions grew, so they simply governed the village by dividing it by this river. Wu Meng's people managed the left side of the village, while those following Miao Wei's faction managed the right side. Now, the whole village is essentially split into two."
Liang Keqing said somewhat helplessly.
Ren Feng nodded, having understood the situation now.
The two of them hadn't walked far before they arrived at a wooden house upstream by the river. This wooden house was somewhat distant from the others, and more importantly, it had a peculiar design.
Enclosed by a fence, it had a crooked tree growing outside, on which there was a bird's nest. A black bird was watching Ren Feng but didn't make a sound, just kept staring at him.
Inside the fence, the courtyard was filled with various water jars, some large, some small, all differing in size.
"Go on in."
Liang Keqing went in first, then said to Ren Feng, "Just wait in the courtyard for a moment. I'll go in and talk to Grandpa Cuo Damu, see if I can convince him to meet you."
"Okay."
Liang Keqing pushed open the wooden door in front and went inside. Ren Feng glanced around; it was pitch-black inside, and he couldn't see anything.
Ren Feng looked around. It was silent all around him. He was curious about those water jars.
Besides that, under the eaves of a nearby wooden house, there was actually an oversized beehive with a diameter of more than a meter. A bee as big as half a fist came out from inside, making Ren Feng's heart skip a beat.
Miaojiang is truly strange; even the insects are so unique.
Ren Feng's gaze returned to those water jars, filled with curiosity. He really wanted to know what was inside them.
Walking directly to one of the jars, Ren Feng lifted the wooden lid on top. As soon as it was open, he saw a three-ringed snake coiled inside.
What the heck!
Ren Feng was startled, and the venomous snake lifted its flat head. Suddenly, its body arched, lunging toward Ren Feng!
Its two sharp fangs were clearly visible, and its mouth opened, ready to spew venom at any moment.
But suddenly, the wooden lid clamped back down with a bang, trapping the three-ringed snake once again.
Ren Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Really? Were all these jars filled with venomous creatures?
That three-ringed snake earlier, although not as potent as the five-ringed one he encountered in the forest before, was still extremely poisonous. Ren Feng had no intention of risking his life to test its venom.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, a young voice came from behind. Ren Feng turned to see a little boy about seven or eight years old, with a braid on his head and a pair of bright black eyes staring at him, with an innocent look on his face.
"I'm, uh, a friend of Liang Keqing. Do you know Liang Keqing?"
"Are you Sister Keqing's friend?" The boy's eyes immediately lit up.
"Yes, I am. She's inside talking to Cuo Damu Witch Doctor." Ren Feng laughed, "Little guy, who are you?"
"My name is Doudou. Cuo Damu is my grandpa," Doudou said with bright, shining eyes. "Big brother, are you Sister Keqing's boyfriend?"
