Chapter 1101: Dogs
The wizard fled, his thugs were dead, and Long Songlin took revenge and continued to return to the village. He took his father's place of work and used witchcraft and herbal formulas to heal the villagers. But because of the tragic death of Long Songlin's father, there are still many villagers who wonder if there is another reason, otherwise why would a well-respected witch doctor die in such a strange way? They all said that the devil was coming, so their attitude towards Long Songlin was also a little strange. But after all, he is a witch doctor, and if someone in the village is sick, he still has to be found.
Half a year later, Long Songlin cured many villagers of their diseases, including external injuries, internal injuries, miasma in the mountains, common malaria, fever and even leprosy. And during this time, he would sneak into the mountains every other month, looking for clues in that hut. But disappointed, there was no sign of people or objects coming back, and in the wind and rain, the thatched hut finally collapsed, and Long Songlin's hopes were also dashed.
I don't know when rumors began to spread in the village that the devil had come here from the snow-capped mountains in the distance and would take the lives of all the Miao people, starting with the leader of the Miao people and the witch doctor. Long Songlin went to ask the village chief, and the village chief said that it seemed to be from a neighboring county, and he had been explaining it every day, but many of the villagers still believed it.
On this day, the village chief suddenly fell ill, and his whole body turned black, as if he had been painted black from a distance. Long Songlin hurriedly went over to look, but he couldn't find a specific reason, he only knew that it looked like poisoning, but not exactly. Seeing Long Songlin's embarrassed expression, the villagers became even more worried and asked him what to do. Long Songlin prepared several herbs for the village chief, and then combined them with witchcraft treatment, but they all worked. The villagers immediately thought of the recent rumors and began to panic.
That night, Long Songlin came to the outside of the village, asked the villagers to set up a bonfire on the slope, put the village chief horizontally in front of the fire, and put the grass dog made of straw soaked in black ink on the village chief's body, which is a symbol of evil spirits, Long Songlin wants to use the "killing method" to make a final attempt to see if he can drive away the evil poison in the village chief's body.
Not only him, the whole village is very nervous, the village chief has been in the village for more than 20 years, and he will be asked to deal with every big and small matter, everyone is used to having this backbone, and the Long family is the protector of the villagers, both of them are very important. Long Songlin put on a mask and held a bronze knife in his hand, and began to dance the witch god to the rhythm of the two villagers beating the witch drum. After a few minutes, the rhythm became faster and faster, Long Songlin closed his eyes, the sound in his ears disappeared, and he entered a state of servitude. He saw himself in the fog, with a huge black tiger lying on the opposite side. Long Songlin ran over, raised the bronze knife in his hand and was about to fall.
Unexpectedly, this black tiger suddenly raised its head and saw that someone was about to stab, so it actually bit Long Songlin's head with its mouth. He was shocked, and the bronze knife hand rose and fell, stabbing several times, but the black tiger had already bitten off his mask, held it in his mouth, turned around and ran. Long Song Lin had just chased a few steps, and when he reached the dense drumbeat, he had already gotten out of his state. He was surprised to see the faces of the villagers in the light of the fire, as if something strange had happened. The mask was missing, and after looking carefully, I found that it was actually on the back of the village chief. Long Songlin hurriedly went over to pick up the mask, and suddenly, the village chief jumped up from the ground and ran away with the ink dog in his arms.
Long Songlin hurriedly chased after him, and the villagers also followed, the village chief, who was already in his fifties, ran faster than anyone else at this time, and everyone chased for nearly ten minutes before catching up. The dog had just been stabbed in the back by Long Song Lin's body technique, and he ran away, and all the dogs made of grass fell apart, but the village chief still clung to the only remaining straw. He ran out of breath and fainted. Long Songlin sprayed cold water on his face, and the village chief slowly woke up.
His skin was not so dark, and he had returned to a normal complexion, and the villagers were overjoyed, and they all gathered around Long Songlin to be grateful. But Long Songlin was even more worried, because the ceremonial ceremony and the "killing technique" just now all failed, and the village chief should not be good.
Sure enough, the next morning, the village chief fell ill again, stripped naked and ran around the village, and many people watched, especially the women in the village, who were all shy. Since then, the village chief has gone crazy, and as long as he didn't look at it, he took off his clothes and ran around, smashing things at home, catching and scolding whom. Long Songlin didn't fully grasp the spell of the "Book of Prophecies", not even his father, let alone him. If you want to practice by yourself, but the content behind the witch book is very difficult, and Long Songlin's father died before he could teach him the specific method of recitation, which became a suspense.
Long Songlin failed to cure the evil disease of the village chief, and the family of the village chief transferred their anger to Long Songlin in addition to grief, saying that he had harmed him, and it was better not to treat it at the beginning, but now it is getting more and more serious, otherwise he can't go crazy. In addition to being more convinced of those rumors, the villagers were also infected by the emotions of the village chief's family, and they were all very prejudiced against Long Songlin.
The Miao village people are simple, kind-hearted and simple, but at the same time, "simple" often represents ignorance and impulsiveness, and there are often some conflicts between neighboring Miao villages, which can quickly evolve into large-scale fights, with hundreds or even thousands of people on each side, beating each other with machetes and other tools, and killing and injuring countless people. These villagers are backward in thinking, simple in their thinking, look at problems in black and white, and are very susceptible to the influence of other people's ideas, as long as they feel that it makes sense, they will immediately believe it. Many villagers came to the door to accuse Long Songlin and asked him to explain clearly. But Long Songlin has a taciturn personality, and he can't say this kind of thing clearly, so naturally he doesn't say much.
The villagers were even more angry, since then, he has become an isolated person in the village, basically no one wants to talk to him, no matter how sick the villagers are, they all go to the neighboring village to find another witch doctor to see a doctor, Long Songlin feels that his ancestors have been treating the people of his village for generations, but in his generation they have done this, and he is very sad.
Long Songlin began to study the witch spells on the "Book of Witches" hard, and if he didn't understand them, he had to trek through mountains and rivers to a distant Miao village to find those old witch doctors, and with the help of their remaining memories, the witch spells in the witch book were gradually complete.
A few years later, the crazy village chief had died, and Long Songlin had a distant nephew who came to the village to look for him, crying that his sister Long Yumei was humiliated for working in Nanning, jumped off the building and fell into a vegetative state, the cost was too high, and the doctor suggested that he take him out and raise him at home. But his parents no longer recognized the daughter, so they had to ask his uncle for help. Long Songlin had only seen Long Yumei twice before, and he didn't have much impression, but he had always been helpful, so he agreed to come down and go to Nanning to take Long Yumei back to Miao Village. There was also a middle-aged man named Huang Chengcheng, who also told him about the incident between him and Long Yumei, saying that he was sorry for her.
