Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Shrine Maiden

"I'm not a ghost, my brothers and sisters don't need to be afraid. The little girl rolled over and jumped down like a monkey.

"You little girl, at this time, how can you be in the deep mountains?" Bai Luo did not let down his vigilance and asked coldly.

"I am a native of Wuping Village in this mountain, and today is the day of my moonlight ceremony, so I am here. The little girl looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

By the moonlight, the two of them saw clearly that this little girl had a red face and round eyes, wearing gray plain clothes, like a singing doll, very cute.

Seeing that it was such a child, the little bell also relaxed and walked out from behind Bai Luo.

"Does your village still have this custom?, and every child has to come out?" asked the little bell curiously.

"Naturally not, only shrine maidens have moonlight ceremonies. The little girl found a stone and sat down.

"What's your name?Are you the only witch in your village?What's the matter with this moonlight ceremony?" Bai Luo withdrew his sword, grabbed the little bell and sat down opposite the little girl. For this little girl, Bai Luo is still not at ease, she can do it behind him without being discovered, this person Bai Luo does not dare to be careless.

"My name is Nanting, and everyone calls me Tingting. There are two shrine maidens in our village, and the other is a grandmother. Nan Ting sat upright and looked at the two. "The shrine maiden is the chief of the village and also protects the safety of the villagers. When the previous shrine maiden takes over, the next successor shrine maiden will be elected at the same time, and the successor witch will absorb the moonlight essence in the sea of flowers in this forest every year when the moon is full, and improve the witch's spiritual power until she officially succeeds the shrine maiden. ”

As he spoke, a poisonous snake came down from the tree, opened its fangs, and headed straight for the little bell.

"Sister, be careful. Nan Ting jumped up, blocked the poisonous snake with her hand for the little bell, spit out a mouthful of black blood, and fell to the ground with poison.

The little bell helped Nan Ting up, took out a pill from the medicine bag and gave it to Nan Ting.

After a while, Nan Ting slowly opened her eyes, covered with cold sweat.

"Are you awake?" asked the little bell with concern.

"Sister is okay, right?" Nan Ting was a little weak.

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me. The little bell said, turning his head to look at Bai Luo. "It's dangerous for Tingting to stay here any longer, let's send her back to the village. ”

"Good. Bai Luo stood up and prepared to walk behind the mountain.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, carrying Tingting on your back. The little bell grabbed Bai Luo.

"Whether this man or woman is kissed or not, you should carry it. Bai Luo looked a little awkward.

"She's a child, what to give or don't kiss, quickly, squat. With that, the little bell pulled Bai Luo and squatted down.

"No, sister, I can do it myself. Nanting tried to stand up on her own.

"Don't, although this poison has been removed, it will take a few days of rest to return to normal. The little bell held Nanting down.

"Really, right?" the little bell asked in a deliberately accentuated tone, turning her head to look at Bai Luo again.

"Yes. Bai Luo glared at the little bell, and picked up Nanting rogue on his back.

For Nan Ting, Bai Luo still had doubts in his heart.

Passing through the jungle, lights flashed in the distance, and a dog barked.

"That's my house. Nan Ting pointed ahead.

"It's close. The little bell looked at it.

Bai Luo looked around vigilantly and did not make a sound.

When the two sent Nanting into the village, an old woman with gray hair and a pestle and a cane was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

"Tingting, what's wrong?" the old woman asked, touching Nanting's head.

"Tingting was poisoned by a snake to save me. Little Bell said guiltily.

"This sister has already given me the antidote, and I'm fine. Grandma, you can rest assured. Nan Ting hurriedly added.

"It's okay, let's go back and rest first. The old woman turned. "Come with me. ”

The two followed the old woman into a house full of herbs.

"It's here, I'll sit here for a while. Nan Ting patted Bai Luo and said.

Bai Luo didn't make a sound, and put Nan Ting on the stone chair in the courtyard.

"Thank you, brother. Nan Ting bent down gently towards Bai Luo.

Bai Luo nodded, turned to look at the old woman and said, "The two of us went into the mountain to collect medicine, and I am very grateful to be rescued by your granddaughter." ”

"Brother misunderstood, grandma is the witch of our Wuping Village. Nan Ting said with a smile.

"In our village, all witches are called grandma, so that the son misunderstood. The old woman chuckled.

"It turns out that you are a shrine maiden. The little bell stood up and spoke. "Are you waiting for Tingting at the entrance of the village? ”

"Naturally, otherwise how would you do a shrine maiden. Hehehe......" said the shrine maiden, laughing lovingly.

"Clucking......" came a rooster crow.

"Grandma Witch, the two of us have to send the herbs home in a hurry, so we won't bother me today, and we'll come back to thank you another day. Bai Luo looked at the sky, waved at the witch, and prepared to leave.

In this way, I will not keep two more people, and be more careful along the way. The shrine maiden instructed.

"That Tingting, my sister will come to see you another day. The little bell touched Nan Ting's head.

The two said goodbye to the witch and Nan Ting and walked quickly to the mountain, and when there was no one, they flew back to Qiyun Mountain with their spiritual power.

"Why has it been so long?" asked the Poison Heart Immortal Master with a frown.

"It took a while to find a place for it. Bai Luo bent down and replied.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, I'll ask. The Poison Heart Immortal Master took a sip of wine, patted Bai Luo, and walked towards the apse with the velvet flower.

"Hmph, I'm old and confused, I lost the pill, and I'm embarrassed to talk about us. The little bell pouted.

"Hey, little thing, go back and clean you up. The Poison Heart Immortal Master turned his head and pointed at the little bell, and then turned around and left.

"Huh. Bai Luo smiled, this master and apprentice are really living treasures.

"What are you laughing at, it was originally, this shadow velvet flower moves to one place every year, how can it be so easy to find. ”

"Okay, the herbs have been delivered, go back and rest quickly. Bai Luo touched the little bell's head.

"Senior Brother Bailuo, let's go to Wuping Village again, Tingting saved me, let's leave like that, I don't want to go. The little bell pulled the white sleeves and said coquettishly.

"Your thoughts are written on your face all the way. Bai Luo ignored the little bell and walked towards the house.

"Eh, eh, Bai Luo, why are you leaving?" Seeing that Bai Luo had no intention of going to Wuping Village, Little Bell was anxious for a while.

"Immortal Venerable has not recovered from his injury, Senior Brother Qi has gone out to run errands again, at this time, how can I not be in Qiyun Mountain. Bai Luo turned around and said solemnly.

"But Xianzun is a small injury with broken bones, it's good to see medicine, why do you need to guard here. The little bell pouted.

"Immortal Venerable was supposed to be in retreat, but he was out of the retreat at this time and was injured, so something must have happened. Bai Luo touched the little bell's head. "When I'm sure there's nothing to do in the mountains, I'll take you to Wuping Village again, okay?"

"But......" The little bell looked at Bai Luo and lowered her head. "Oh well. ”

"Then you have to promise me that you can't be willful, go alone, and you must wait for me to come along. ”

"Well, I will. Little Bell raised her head, looked at Bai Luo, and smiled.

Bai Luo smiled and pulled the little bell and walked towards the house.

"We detoxified her and sent her back to the village, this gift has been done, and it's not too late for you to rest for a few days before you talk about the rest of the matter. Seeing that the little bell still looked preoccupied, he comforted softly.

"I see. The little bell listened and sweetly hugged Bai Luo's arm.

Bai Luo pushed away the little bell with his fingers and leaned against the head of his arm.

The little bell leaned over again.

The two walked all the way to the house.

In addition to worrying about the Immortal Venerable, there is actually another reason in Bai Luo's heart. Regarding the chance encounter with Nan Ting, Bai Luo always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, just in case, he had to understand this Wuping Village first.

The apse, the more hundreds of people leave the bed.

The Poison Heart Immortal Master refined the shadow velvet flower brought back by Bai Luo and the little bell and gave it to Yue Baili, and drove it away with spiritual power, and in an instant, Yue Baili's injury was restored as before.

"Senior brother, who are you?" asked the Hundred Flowers Immortal Master on the side with a frown.

"She's coming to the back mountain. Yue Baili looked at the three worried people in front of him and replied.
