At first, no one took this matter to heart, and the Chen family servants did not even report the matter to Mr. Chen. Because they felt that this kind of thing was insignificant, maybe it was just the mouse in the wine cellar that took the snake away.
But since then, there have often been inexplicable sounds coming from the wine cellar. When someone went to check, it was as quiet as ever, and there was no trace of anyone.
The Chen family thought there was a thief in the wine cellar, so they sent someone to keep a close watch. But it became more serious, and there was even a situation where the wine jar had no trace of being opened, but the wine inside was gone.
This made Mr. Chen panic. He sent people to search the wine cellar up and down, but found nothing unusual. With no other choice, Mr. Chen could only decide to change the place to store the wine and abandon this wine cellar.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this decision was made and before he could take action, Mr. Chen had a strange dream that night.
In the dream, there was a giant black python, which spoke human words to Mr. Chen, saying that it had been cultivated into a demon and was caught making medicinal wine. Recently, the earthquake caused the wine jar to break, and it was able to wake up.
He had a lot of it, so he didn't blame the Chen family for making it into medicinal wine. But when the Chen family moved the wine cellar, it was unhappy because it loved drinking. If they moved it, it would be affected by the move.
So it ordered Mr. Chen to never move the wine cellar.
But Mr. Chen did not take this dream seriously. Compared with this illusory dream, his precious wines were more important, so he continued to have the wine cellar moved the next day.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen's attitude angered the snake demon.
Since then, the men in the Chen family have fallen ill one by one, and no doctor has been able to find out the cause, let alone cure them.
Only then did Mr. Chen realize the seriousness of the matter. He quickly ordered people to move the wine back to the wine cellar intact. But it was too late, the snake demon never appeared in his dream again.
Since then, the five members of the Chen family have been sick until today.
The Chen family also found many immortal cultivators to solve the problem, but the immortal cultivators who came did not even detect the evil spirit, let alone the snake demon.
The Chen family really had no choice but to spend a lot of money to place a reward.
After Yunzhi and Jie Wei understood the cause and effect, they felt at ease.
However, according to what Chen Feilan said, this monster is probably not low in cultivation, so no wonder the bounty is so high.
Jie Wei said to Chen Feilan, "We already understand this matter. Can Ms. Chen take us to the wine cellar to investigate?"
Chen Feilan nodded, stood up, "Please." and then led the way for the two of them.
Along the way, Jie Wei and Yunzhi were quietly observing the situation of the Chen family.
The Chen family is indeed a big brewer, and you can smell the aroma of fine wine wherever you go.
Chen Feilan led the two of them to a courtyard in the backyard, where the smell of wine was even stronger.
But vaguely, there are other flavors.
Yunzhi looked at Xie Wei, and Jie Wei could tell from her eyes that she had smelled the evil spirit.
But according to Jie Wei's current strength, he shouldn't be able to smell it, so he cast a doubtful look at Yunzhi.
Yunzhi smiled at him, turned to Chen Feilan and asked, "Miss Chen, are you almost at the wine cellar?"
Chen Feilan looked surprised, "How do you know?"
"Because... I smell evil spirit."
Although it was difficult to detect, Yunzhi still felt it keenly.
Chen Feilan was frightened by these words. She raised her hand and tremblingly opened the door of the other courtyard, "This is our Chen family's winery, and underneath the winery is the wine cellar..."
Yunzhi could see that Chen Feilan was scared, so she gently took Chen Feilan's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, girl, no evildoer can hurt you as long as we are here."
Chen Feilan nodded doubtfully, but his steps stopped.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she handed the key in her hand to Yunzhi and said softly, "This is the key to the wine cellar. The entrance to the wine cellar is on the left side of the door. How about you two go explore the wine cellar? , my little girl is just a mortal, she is really scared..."
After hearing this, Yunzhi nodded, "It doesn't matter. If Miss Chen is scared, it's okay if she doesn't go to the wine cellar. You can leave this matter to our Lishan Sect."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Yunzhi and Jie Wei went to the cellar together.
The cellar was underground. The two of them first walked down the road for a long time, and then the view suddenly opened up. A strong smell of alcohol hit their faces, and they arrived at the cellar.
Although Yunzhi was prepared in her heart, the messy scene in front of her still surprised her.
All kinds of wine bottles are placed randomly, and rows of wine racks are lying or reclining.
It looks like someone just had a fight here.
The smell of alcohol here is very strong, and Yunzhi feels like he would be drunk even if he didn't drink.
Jie Wei noticed Yunzhi's abnormality and stepped forward and asked, "How are you, Master?"
Yunzhi took a deep breath and nodded, "It's okay, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's check it out quickly."
She thought to herself that she might really get drunk if she stayed here for too long.
The two quickly explored the place, and apart from the strong smell of alcohol and the vague aura of monsters, they found no trace of the existence of monsters here.
Indeed, no matter how drunk that monster is, he will not spend all day drinking here.
Yunzhi was already drunk now. She looked at Jie Wei and found that he was not much better.
So Yunzhi suggested that the two of them leave here now.
On the way out, Yunzhi thought, why is this reward set so that two people can complete it?
After leaving the wine cellar, Yunzhi explained the situation in the wine cellar to Chen Feilan.
After hearing this, Chen Feilan said that she was not in a hurry and wanted to let them settle down first, so she took the two of them to their residence.
Yunzhi and Jie Wei took a short break and got together again to discuss how to solve the reward order.
The two of them were sitting at the table. Yunzhi asked Jie Wei, "Awei, did you smell the evil spirit just now?"
Jie Wei nodded, "I smelled it in the wine cellar, but not outside."
After listening, Yunzhi probably knew the level of cultivation of the snake demon.
In fact, she only smelled the evil spirit near and inside the wine cellar.
But the demon is not in the wine cellar, which shows that the demon is good at hiding its evil spirit, and its base camp is not a wine cellar, which makes it more difficult to find it.
Yunzhi thought of the other Chen family members who couldn't afford to fall ill.
Maybe we can get some clues from them?
Their illness should be caused by the demonic energy. If their illness can be clearly detected, they may be able to find the demon.
Yunzhi suddenly thought of Qing'er. Qing'er was of the same race as the snake demon. If she could be by his side, she would be able to help...
Yunzhi's heart ached when he thought of Qing'er.
