Chapter 31: Mutual Distrust (2-in-1)
The old woman fell to the ground angrily, and Pei Min didn't know what to do for a while.
This old woman is too weird, and they can win today because of the huge lineup.
He Pei Min plus the two sisters Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi, this kind of extravagant combination, not to mention the Miao Jiang Witch Gu Master, even if he gathers the messy strangers in this world together, he is not afraid of the Five Elements Warlock, Feng Shui Master, Onmyoji Master, and Head Descending Master.
If he was the only one, Pei Min would never take the liberty of choosing to take the initiative.
Pei Min hesitated and took a step forward.
The red-eyed monkey suddenly stood in front of the old woman, grinning at Pei Min, and a pair of long claws scratched indiscriminately in front of him, making an attack shape.
"Little boy!"
The old woman screamed, and when the red-eyed monkey turned around, a little tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and she still looked at Pei Min and her party vigilantly.
The old woman looked at Pei Min and the others with a little pleading eyes: "Young man, the old woman is only here to save people, and she has no malice." Ash is but a monkey, please spare ......" When she said this, she was already angry, and before she could say anything, she fell to the ground and passed out.
Looking at the old man who had lost his breath, Pei Min couldn't bear it inexplicably.
It has been more than ten years since he came to ancient times, and he is no longer a good man and a woman, and his soul under the sword is no less than three digits.
But he never killed a child or an old man.
Now an old woman who is over 80 years old has died because of his sword, and there is something bad in her heart.
The red-eyed monkey grabbed the old woman with two paws, bared its teeth and roared as if crying, and his voice was particularly harsh at the third watch.
"Master!" Gongsun Xi has the hardest mouth and the softest heart, and he has already moved his heart of compassion.
Pei Min bowed his head and said: "That's it, the world is impermanent, and people may not be able to share hardships." It is not easy for this monkey not to be ungrateful in times of crisis, and I have no intention of hurting it......"
He walked towards the old woman.
The fluff on the red-eyed monkey's body stood up, and it pounced on Pei Min with its teeth and claws.
Pei Min stuck the Qin Huang sword on the ground, replaced the remaining wooden stick from the torch in his right hand to his left hand, stabbed it out at will, hit the red-eyed monkey's front paws, stabbed forward, and put the round head of the wooden stick on the monkey's chest, pushing it out.
After all, a monkey is a monkey, and no matter how psychic he is, he can't avoid Pei Min's magical swordsmanship.
"Squeak squeak......" A few times, the red-eyed monkey glanced at the old woman, then at Pei Min, turned around, and disappeared into the night in three or two.
Pei Min didn't dare to be careless about the witchcraft of the old woman, and reached out to wipe the old woman's neck, confirmed her pulse, confirmed that she had no pulse, and nodded to Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi and said, "It's indeed dead." ”
When he was checking his pulse, Gongsun You and Gongsun Xi also came close just in case.
Their torches reflected the appearance of the old woman.
The old woman, whose face was as pale as paper, looked unexpectedly kind.
In Pei Min's impression, most of the people with such strange thaumaturgy as witchcraft are fierce and ugly, but they don't want to be a kind old man, so they can't help but be stunned.
Gongsun You saw Pei Min's strange expression, and couldn't help but step forward and hold Pei Min's hand.
Pei Min pinched it back and gave a reassuring smile.
Gongsun You's face turned red, and he hurriedly pulled back, seeing that the gate was not tied, he also understood how the old woman came in.
The door of the house is locked, and this ordinary person wants to enter, but he can only climb over the wall to enter the room like Pei Min.
But the old woman has such a psychic monkey, as long as she directs it to open the latch, she will naturally be able to enter in the open.
Gongsun You went to bolt the gate, his hand on the wooden latch, inexplicably painful, only to feel that the world was spinning, and the whole person fell backwards.
"Girl!"
"Sister!"
Pei Min and Gongsun Xi exclaimed one after another.
Pei Min's eyes were quick, and he hugged her first. But seeing that Gongsun You's face was as usual, there was nothing unusual, as if he was asleep.
Gongsun Xi came close with a torch, but saw a small centipede on the reverse side of the latch.
Gongsun Xi slashed the centipede to death with a sword.
Just when the two of them were upset, the old woman who had died suddenly sat up, knocked on her chest uncomfortably, and breathed heavily, looking like she was going to die or live.
"You old witch......"
Gongsun Xi didn't know where it was the old woman's means, so he was so angry that he stepped forward with a sword.
The old woman hurriedly rolled away, swayed her hands from side to side in a hurry, and said softly: "The old woman has lost, this girl is fine." The old woman let her wake up......"
Gongsun Xi stopped his hand and looked at his unconscious sister, but he didn't dare to step forward.
The old woman's lips moved up and down slightly, as if she was chanting a spell or something, and there was a strange sound that she couldn't understand, like the chirping of insects.
What's even more strange is that as the voice was conveyed, Gongsun You really showed signs of waking up, and after about a dozen breaths, Gongsun You opened his eyes with a little haze.
"How?" Pei Min looked nervous, and his voice trembled a little.
Gongsun You shook his head, showed a reassuring smile and said, "It's okay, there's nothing unusual." Thinking that he was hugging his sweetheart, his face was slightly red, but he was reluctant to leave, as if he didn't know.
The old woman took a big look and said: "The girl is a dream Gu, which is a kind of medical Gu to treat those who can't sleep, even if the old body doesn't use spells to lure out the Gu worms, as long as it takes four hours, the girl will wake up...... Ahem......" she said and coughed a few times, gasping for air.
Gongsun You found out that the old woman was not dead, so she put her sword on the ground, stood up, and said with a calm face: "In this way, the death of the natal Gu and the death of the body are also fake?" ”
The old woman said weakly: "It's not fake, the Gu worms are back, it's true." Otherwise, the old woman would not have lost half her life. As for the life and death of the body, it depends on whether the natal Gu is powerful or not, and whether it is yin or evil. The decayed natal Gu does not touch people's lives, protects themselves and saves others, and although the backlash is severe, it does not hurt lives. It's also a loss, or I really have to see the witch god. The old woman's family has been used up today, and as far as you are concerned, it is strange and evil, but there is nothing deadly. It's not that the old woman doesn't have the means, it's my futile who used the heart Gu to make the old woman not hurt you. ”
"It's just ......," she said with a bit of self-deprecation: "She also thinks too highly of my old bones, just with your ability, it's already very good that the old woman didn't put herself in, how can there be that possibility of hurting you?" If it weren't for your benevolent nature and unwillingness to make up for the corpse of the old woman, the old woman's turtle breath Gu would not be useful. ”
Pei Min said cautiously: "I will never make this kind of mistake next time......"
The old woman also knew that there would be no more than two in this matter, so she spread her hands and said, "The old woman knows that you are good people, and the fault lies with my stupid son." Now the old woman doesn't know what the situation is, but she knows that my disciple is in your hands. Although she is weak, she will not do things for her enemies, and there must be a reason for this. Why don't we cooperate, find out everything together, and the old woman will treat them to make amends to you, and I hope you can forgive them and let them go. ”
"As for the masterminds behind the scenes, although the old woman does not kill people, she also has the means to treat them. There is a crazy Gu in my Miao Village, and the middle one loses his mind, like a demon in an evil spirit, or angry and fierce, or he is in fear all day long, and he never dies......"
Pei Min shook his head and said, "The old man is playing us like monkeys?" If you don't believe us, how can we believe you? ”
This old woman has lived a long time, and she is old and demonic, and she may not be as energetic as young people, but she has a lot of experience in dealing with people.
She may not know the reason for the matter, but the intention of the Ten Tigers of the Liao family must know.
Now that the ten tigers of the Liao family have been captured and his son has died, Liao Qingfeng has helped the enemy in turn.
The causal relationship is not difficult to guess.
The enemy of the enemy is the ally.
The old woman can come to the door by herself to show her sincerity.
Yet she laid a wide net......
Even if it was true as she said, she didn't hurt people's hearts, but she didn't have the slightest intention of partnering, obviously didn't believe them, and planned to rely on her own means to rescue Liao Qingfeng and the remaining tigers, and then go to the sky, each on the other.
Now that she herself is defeated, she has come in and changed her words to cooperate, Pei Min will not believe this old man with thaumaturgy unless her brain lets the donkey kick.
The old woman was silent, and only sighed after half a sound: "Young man, before you started, you said something. Miao Jiang Gu Technique is a brilliant avenue, but I don't know if it's sincere? ”
"Of course!" Pei Min said bluntly: "Miao Jiang Gu Technique, I don't know much about it. But I have always believed that there are good and bad things in the world. Poison can harm people and save people, medicine can save people, and it can also harm people, depending on who uses it. As far as I know, Gu techniques are divided into grass Gu and insect Gu, as well as poisonous Gu and medical Gu. It's just that in this world, there is only one thing in the world where Gu magic harms people, how can there be an example of Gu magic saving people? ”
The old woman sneered: "What the young man said is right, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue." Don't ask you, in the Central Plains dynasties, did any emperor dare to use Gu magic to heal the sick? When I heard about the sorcerer, my first reaction was to cut off our heads. It's not just us, even the people we come into contact with, one by one, they will die, either the three tribes will be exterminated, or the nine tribes will be punished. ”
Pei Min said calmly: "I admit this, the world does have a certain misunderstanding of witchcraft. What is the origin of the misunderstanding? Things in the world have causes and effects. Witch masters may really have a witch doctor who is bent on saving people, but how are they a minority? ”
"Your existence is even afraid of your own people, right? You Miao people are still afraid of you, let alone outsiders we don't know? The source of fear comes from the unknown, you have been mysterious for generations, and there are many villains who control people's lives and deaths, can this be blamed on the world for seeing you as an evil man? ”
The old woman was speechless.
Pei Min continued: "In the final analysis, it is nothing more than mutual exclusion and mutual distrust. There are reasons on both sides, the old man does not examine himself, blindly shirks, and is afraid that he will not be able to stand up. As for today, you've been older, you've eaten, you've played with bugs, more than we've ever seen in our lives. A lot of things, you really can't see one or two? It's nothing more than distrust and unwillingness to cooperate with us. It wasn't until I fought and knew that it was powerful, so I retreated to the next best thing. ”
"What's the difference between it and the grievances and contradictions of your and my thousand-year-old family and country? If you have the strength, you will fight, and if you don't have the strength, you will take a step back and admit defeat. and said that we did not believe in you and did you badly. But don't ask yourself, what have you done that is worthy of our trust? ”
"As Liao Qingfeng said, they are because someone gave a lot of rice noodles to buy the lives of Miss You and Miss Xi. It is because your people can't eat, and for the sake of their livelihood, they made this decision. ”
"It's about righteousness!"
"Actually?"
"You know what is going on in Phoenix Mountain, it is no longer suitable for human habitation. On more than one occasion, I, the local officials of Datang, persuaded you to come down the mountain, gave you land, and taught you how to cultivate. It's you who don't want to, while blocking your own way, because of the livelihood of your clansmen, you have come thousands of miles to attack and kill a pair of innocent sisters, what is the righteousness of this. ”
The old woman has lived in the deep mountains and old forests all her life, and when it comes to the art of eloquence, how can Pei Min have anything to do, making him dizzy and dizzy, I don't know why.
"Maybe!" The old woman didn't know how to debate with Pei Min, her voice fell, but her eyes looked at Pei Min's right arm and said: "Young man, I see that your right arm seems to be seriously traumatized, why don't we make a deal, I will heal your right arm, how about you let the old woman go with those few people who are not angry?" ”
Gongsun You's eyes lit up and asked, "Really?" ”
Gongsun Xi was also greatly moved, in the eyes of their sisters, those people together were not as good as Pei Min's half a star, this business was a good deal.
Pei Min hurriedly said: "Even if you have this ability, I don't dare to heal you." What's more, your witch doctor may have mysteries, but our Central Plains medical skills are not inferior. My injuries are almost healed, so I don't bother your old man. ”
This old woman's methods are changeable, and Pei Min really doesn't dare to treat her. God knows if she'll do something in the shadows.
The old woman is not left, nor is she right, and she played a scoundrel and said: "Now that people have fallen into your hands, it is up to you to kill or chop them up." ”
Pei Min glanced at Sister Gongsun and said, "What do you think?" ”
Gongsun Youdao: "Shut it up, let's see the situation first." With them in hand, it is also good for us to have them in our hands. If they were killed, all clues would be broken. ”
"It's good!" Pei Min also means this.
When the old woman heard this, she sighed, and knew that it was natural for her not to be trusted, so she no longer forced it, and looked at Pei Min and said: "Young man, the old woman has a Gu, which is a grass Gu practiced with herbs such as Chuanxiong, Sichuan oxknee, Angelica dahurica, Yanhusuo, safflower, cinnamon, cloves, menthol, etc., which are specially used to build bones and tendons. Your acupuncture and moxibustion in the Central Plains, coupled with the grass Gu of the old body, can speed up the recovery of your muscles and bones. There are no conditions, just for you to show mercy to the little obedient men. ”
Pei Min groaned slightly: "The younger generation is afraid of death, so I don't dare to joke with my life." Soldiers first, then salutes, tomorrow I will ask a person to accompany me, and he will check the gates. If the seniors are sincere, the juniors should apologize. Now I beg your pardon for offending ......"
The old woman didn't say much.
The three of them locked the old woman in a windowless room and took everything from her.
