Volume 1: Dou Onmyoji Chapter 22: Osan

Suddenly out of danger, Hibiscus was pleasantly surprised, and wanted to ask who the mysterious person who rescued them from danger was, but he led them straight down the mountain and galloped away, without giving others a chance to ask.

Soon they returned to the village, and as soon as they entered Li Jun's house, the mysterious man immediately put Xiao Yue on the bed, locked everyone outside, and said, "Don't come in." ”

Everyone waited outside the house for two hours before the door opened.

The mysterious man was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what he had done to Xiao Yue in the room.

Li Yan hurriedly ran to pour him a glass of water and said, "Grandpa, please drink water." ”

The mysterious man smiled kindly at Li Yan, touched her head, and said with a smile, "Thank you." He took the water and drank it all in one gulp.

Only then did Mu Hibiscus see that this mysterious man had a childish face, with a gray beard, his hair tied in a bun, and a wooden hairpin inserted in the bun, so he couldn't tell how old he was.

Wearing a wide plain robe, mango shoes and white socks, his body is thin, but his temperament gives people a feeling of being extraordinary.

At a glance, you can see that he is profound and unpredictable.

Mu Hibiscus thanked him for saving his life first, and then asked Xiao Yue's injury, and the man said, "The situation is not very good." ”

Mu Hibiscus's face changed greatly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "He...... Is he not saved? ”

The Taoist sighed and said: "The poison in his cup is too deep, those poisons have almost eroded his primordial spirit, just now I just temporarily controlled those cup poisons, and it can't last long, if we can't think of a way to expel the cup poison in his body in the past few days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive." ”

After saying this, this Taoist man showed an extremely sad look on his face, which made Mu Hibiscus puzzled.

He seemed to be worried about Xiao Yue and was deeply saddened by Xiao Yue's misfortune.

Who is Xiao Yue?

If it wasn't someone from Xiao Yue, how could he be sad for Xiao Yue?

But at this time, Hibiscus was not concerned about his origin, but about Xiao Yue's injury.

When Li Yan and Li Jun's family heard that Xiao Yue might die, they all showed very sad and anxious expressions.

Li Yan cried even more: "Big brother won't die, he ...... He's such a good guy. ”

Mu Hibiscus saw that Li Yan was crying, and her inner emotions were touched, so she also cried.

The Taoist said, "There is a way to save, but this method is a bit difficult. ”

As if seeing hope in the darkness, Hibiscus shot a strange light in his eyes and asked, "What way?" ”

The Taoist looked into the distance and said: "There is a place called Wushan, there is a cave in the mountain called Wuchi Cave, there is a red snake with a hundred years of cultivation in the cave, it is more than three zhang long, and its gall can detoxify the cup poison in Xiao Yue's body." It's just ......"

Hibiscus said, "It's just what? ”

The Taoist said: "It's just that who can bring the snake gall back." ”

Mu Hibiscus said without even thinking about it: "I'll go!" ”

The Taoist looked at Mu Hibiscus and said, "Are you really going?" ”

Mu Hibiscus said: "His life was saved by him, and now that he is in danger, of course I will save him!" After she said this, her expression darkened, as if she had something to do, and said, "It's just that I ......."

Dao Dao said: "It's just that you are worried that your primordial spirit will be threatened at the hands of that wicked man, and your body will fall into death?" ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at Daodao: "How do you know, senior?" ”

The man laughed and said, "Of course I know, to tell you the truth, I have secretly rescued your Yuan Shen before I rescued you." ”

Hibiscus was really surprised and said, "Really? She was still worried that even if she got out of Fa Ming's formation now, her Yuan Shen was still in his hands, and sooner or later she would have to be tortured by him, but she didn't expect this Taoist in front of her to be so clever and save her Yuan Shen together. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be grateful, and tears welled up in my eyes.

Dao Daodao: "You sit down cross-legged, and I will now cast a spell to return your primordial spirit to its place." ”

At that moment, Mu Hibiscus sat down, only to see the Taoist gesture with both hands, and then a green light was born from his palm, only to hear him say "go", and the blue light immediately jumped into Mu Hibiscus's body.

Mu Hibiscus was in the meditation, only to feel refreshed, and then the whole body was cool, clear and refreshing, dark luck spiritual power inward, sure enough, sensing that the original spirit had returned to its place, she was so happy that she immediately knelt down to the Taoist, and said: "I want to save my predecessors, great kindness, and never forget." ”

Dao said: "Okay, etiquette is waived, and the most important thing now is to save people." ”

Mu Hibiscus said: "I'll leave right now, how do I get to Wushan?" ”

The Taoist told her carefully about the way to Wushan, and told her to be cautious, and then said: "I will take Yue'er back to Maoshan, first stabilize the poison in his body, and ensure that it will not attack before you come back, and then you get the snake gall, and go to the Maoshan faction to find me." ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at Daodao: "Dare to ask who the Taoist chief is from Brother Xiao?" ”

Dao said: "It's inconvenient for you to ask about this matter, but you will naturally know it when you get the snake gall back." ”

Mu Hibiscus saw that he was reluctant to tell his identity, although he was still suspicious in his heart, but seeing that he did not mean to harm Xiao Yue, he didn't say much, and immediately set off for Wushan.

——

Seeing that Xiao Yue and Mu Hibiscus were suddenly rescued by someone of unknown origin, and that he was seriously injured, Fa Ming was resentful in his heart, and hated the person of unknown origin to the core.

He thought about the scene of the unknown person breaking in afterwards, although the figure was too fast, and he couldn't see it very really, but when he sacrificed the talisman, his body was a little sluggish, and the talisman was understood by him, and the technique and style of the talisman were very similar to the Maoshan sect in the Chinese Xuanmen.

After Fa Ming learned that his master Qingyu was killed by a leaf of the Maoshan faction, he had actually been secretly investigating the situation of the Maoshan faction, and he was well aware of the development of the Maoshan faction's hundreds of years of history. Therefore, he can accurately distinguish the style of the Maoshan school and the method of sacrificing the talisman.

He also knew that when Yiye Zizhen was alive, there were two disciples under his disciples, one was called Xuan Qingzi and the other was Ling Qingzi, and Xuan Qingzi was the senior brother. The two brothers fell out because of some contradictions in the years after Yiye Zi was martyred, and Ling Qingzi ran away from the Maoshan faction and did not know where to go, and Xuan Qingzi was feathered last year.

But the mysterious person who came to save Xiao Yue and Mu Hibiscus today is obviously from the Maoshan faction, who could it be?

Is it Ling Qingzi?

Ling Qingzi would never come to save Xuan Qingzi's disciples.

What's more, how did he know that Xiao Yue was here?

This left Fa Ming confused.

——

According to the words of the mysterious Taoist, Mu Hibiscus did not know how many mountains, how many rivers he crossed, and how many steep and steep peaks he had gone through before he found the location of Mt. Wushan.

There is a small village at the foot of Osan Mountain.

The villagers here are largely isolated from the rest of the world and have little contact with the outside world, so they live a very primitive life, especially some feudal customs that are unacceptable to modern people.

This village is called Wushi Village, and there are more than ten or twenty households.

When Hibiscus came here, it was just in the afternoon, and many villagers had returned from farming, and because it was getting late, it was inconvenient to continue the journey into the mountains, so she wanted to borrow a night from a family in the village.

She searched for a few households, and found that many people here spoke in the local language, and the Mandarin language was not yet popular.

Although the village is small, fortunately there are some people who understand Mandarin.

One of the villagers took her to the village chief's house and asked him to find her a place to live.

The village chief, who was also a warm-hearted man, tall and dark-skinned, always smiled first when he spoke, and he left Hibiscus at home for dinner before taking her to an empty house.

The house looks very old, and the village chief said that the house was originally lived by a husband and wife, but for some reason the husband and wife died, so it has been empty, and the village chief occasionally comes to clean it.

Although it is a little dilapidated, it can still be lived, and Hibiscus is not a pampered person, and he does not pick a place, so he just finds a room and lives there.

At this time, she asked the village chief about the way to Wushan, and the village chief didn't know what she was going to do in Wushan, so she wanted to ask the reason, but she paused, as if she had something to say but it was inconvenient to say.

Mu Hibiscus had a delicate heart, saw the village chief's words, and said to himself: "I heard that you have a poisonous snake here, and it is hidden in a hole in the Ooshan, and I will not tell you that I have come all the way this time to subdue this poisonous snake." ”

When the village chief heard this, his face showed surprise, and he said with some excitement: "I see, that's really good." This poisonous snake also does not know where it came from, there was no before, just a year ago, someone went up the mountain to chop firewood and was eaten by it, only to know that there is a man-eating poisonous python living in the mountain, and now the villagers dare not go up the mountain to chop wood. He glanced at Mu Hibiscus up and down, and said with a smile: "As soon as Mu Girl entered my house, I saw that you must be a woman of extraordinary origin, are you a witchcraft?" ”

Seeing that the village chief was so frank and enthusiastic, Mu Hibiscus was not wary of him, and said, "I am not a witchcraftman, but there is a way to help you subdue this poisonous python." ”

The village chief said: "Actually, there is a witch in our village who learns witchcraft, but she only helps the villagers to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases, but she doesn't care about catching monsters and controlling monsters. ”

Mu Hibiscus let out an "oh" and said, "Then it seems that there must be very few people in your village who are sick and evil." ”

The village chief's face suddenly darkened, he looked a little sad, and sighed and said, "It's okay to be sick and evil, it's just ...... It's just ......" He wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing that he didn't want to say, Mu Hibiscus didn't want to ask more.

After the village chief told her how to find the way into the mountain, he talked about some irrelevant matters and took his leave.

Before leaving, he turned back to Mu Hibiscus and emphasized that it was better not to go out at night. As for why, he did not give an explanation.

Hibiscus nodded and said that he understood, although he had some doubts in his heart, but because he was an outsider, he had important things to do, so he should not meddle in things.

She slept until midnight when she was awakened by a strange noise, very close to her, just under the head of the bed.

Hearing the source of the voice, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, which was really startled.

I looked through the moonlight shining in from the window, but I saw a big toad the size of a basin crouching in the corner of the bed, facing her bedhead, "cooing" and screaming, with two cheeks and a bulge, plus dense bumps on the body, so that Hibiscus looked goosebumps all over her body, she grew so big, although she had seen a lot of strange poisonous insects and monsters when she followed Fa Ming, but such a big toad was the first time she had seen it.

The most terrifying thing is that its protruding eyes are actually green, emitting a strange green light, just like a pair of ghost fires wandering in the dark night.

Disgusted, Hibiscus found a stick to drive it out of the house, and hurriedly closed the door. She had never thought about where the toad came from or how it got into the house!
