Volume 1: Dou Onmyoji Chapter 28: Toad

She did not appear openly in Wushi Village at first, but hid at the foot of the mountain ten miles away from the village.

She secretly looked for Feng Niang several times, trying to force her to hand over the cheats, Feng Niang secretly fought with her several times, always lost, and almost died in her hands several times.

She knew that with her current mana, she couldn't fight Feng Ji, but there was no other way, she really didn't know what to do, she knew that Feng Ji would not give up without the cheats, she almost wanted to hand over the cheats, but because of the words of the master when he was dying, she dispelled the idea again.

While she was hesitating, Feng Ji was already secretly arranging her own conspiracy.

She first took advantage of Feng Niang's absence, pretending to be a passer-by and asking Li Mingcheng for directions, Li Mingcheng saw this strange woman coming to ask for directions, and saw that her appearance was very similar to his wife Feng Niang, and he was surprised, but he didn't think much about it.

During the conversation, Feng Ji had secretly cast ecstasy on Li Mingcheng.

At night, Feng Ji secretly cast a spell, Li Mingcheng got out of bed by himself, barefoot, opened the door and walked out, and came to the place where Feng Ji was hiding.

So Feng Ji befriended him. He, sucked up his essence and blood, and discarded the corpse in the barren forest, and the next morning Feng Niang found a dried corpse.

The villagers didn't know what was going on, but Feng Niang knew very well in her heart that her grief, remorse, self-blame, guilt, anger and other emotions were intertwined, which made her mentally damaged and languished for many days.

In the past few days when she was sluggish, Feng Ji told the villagers the wording that she had already thought of, so that Feng Niang was charged with a crime of "not abiding by women's morals", and the villagers were furious, and without much thought, they decided that Feng Niang was an adulteress who was inconsistent with the outside, so she was arrested and dipped in a pig cage and died.

Although Feng Ji's conspiracy succeeded, she searched all over Feng Niang's residence, but still did not find the secret book, and the secret book has been lost since then.

After telling this story, Feng Niang cried even more miserably, begging Hibiscus to call the shots for her.

After Mu Hibiscus learned the truth, although she guessed that Feng Ji was the real murderer of Feng Niang from the beginning, she was very angry when she learned what she had done, this woman was a hundred times more vicious than she imagined.

She was about to send Feng Niang's soul away, when she suddenly remembered something, turned her eyes, and asked: "There was once a very spiritual toad who came to me on your behalf, I don't know what it has to do with you?" ”

Feng Niang thought for a while and said, "This toad is estimated to have been a favor to it when I was alive, so when I saw that I was wronged and died, I was upset." She sighed: "I can't imagine that this animal has such spirituality." ”

Hibiscus asked her to explain in detail how she had shown grace to the toad.

There is a small stream in front of Wushi Village, and the stream goes up to a cave thirty miles from the end of the village. The water in the pool is clear and sweet, and you can drink it. Many villagers will dig rice in this stream, and the cooked rice is fragrant and delicious, and it also feeds people.

Feng Niang is naturally no exception.

One day when she was washing rice, suddenly a toad swam from the other side of the stream to her, Feng Niang looked at a pair of green eyes, different from other toads, and saw that it had been staring at herself, so she deliberately leaked out some rice to scatter in the stream, but the toad jumped into the stream three or two times to eat the scattered white rice.

Feng Niang felt a little surprised, so she deliberately sprinkled some rice down, and the toad finished eating the white rice again, Feng Niang smiled: "It seems that you have a lot of appetite, but I can't let you eat today, I still have to go home to cook, if you want to eat, come back tomorrow." ”

The toad turned around and swam to the other side, jumping a few times before disappearing.

The next day, Feng Niang was still washing rice in that place, and the toad really came.

Feng Niang was unexpected, guessing that this toad has some human nature, not comparable to other toads, and is good at it, and deliberately brings more rice every day to feed it.

Gradually, this toad grew up a lot, but as soon as it saw the living, it left, and it only appeared when Feng Niang was alone.

In this way, it gradually lasted for more than a year, until Feng Niang was slandered to death by Feng Ji, and the toad waited by the stream for several days, and when Feng Niang never appeared again, it disappeared from then on.

Who knew that after more than a year, it had grown so big, and when Hibiscus saw it, he couldn't believe that there was such a big toad in the world.

After it learned that Feng Niang had died unjustly, it hid in the old house, and that night it saw the arrival of the hibiscus, so it showed up to ask for help and avenge Feng Niang's death.

After Mu Hibiscus understood the origin of the toad, he was quite in awe of this psychic thing, and the spirit of benefiting and repaying the favor was even more lamentable.

In fact, in addition to the admirable spirit of this toad, there is also a woman who died because of Feng Niang, and her death is more tragic and respectable than that of the toad.

Feng Niang had a good sister in Wushi Village before her death, surnamed Chen, named Huilan, who was also married from other places, and died soon after her husband had a strange illness and could not see well. And she had no children, and she was the only one left. After her husband's death, she lacked communication with the villagers, and only lived a farming life of leaving early and returning late every day, never having any contact with the villagers, and even if she did, she usually borrowed some daily necessities and the like. Although sometimes lonely, I can live quietly alone.

Until Feng Niang came to Wushi Village, because she was kind, and often gave the village people a doctor, to eliminate disasters and solve problems, for a while Wushi Village was peaceful and peaceful, and the neighbors were even more intimate and friendly, and this is Feng Niang's way of governing the village, which made the atmosphere of Wushi Village better, so she was quite loved by the villagers.

One day, Feng Niang saw that the widow always went out early and returned late alone, and she didn't run the door, so she took the initiative to get close. As time went by, the two got to know each other, and the more they chatted, they became good friends.

Under the guidance of Feng Niang, her personality slowly changed, she became much more cheerful, and gradually became familiar with the villagers, and she had endless happiness, all of which was attributed to Feng Niang, so she respected Feng Niang very much in her heart.

That day, Feng Niang was immersed in a pig cage by the villagers and died, she was watching from the side, because of the surging emotions at that time, she was alone, and endured the pain in her heart to watch Feng Niang's innocent and tragic death.

At night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept in her mind the scene of Feng Niang being trapped in the pig cage by the villagers and immersed in the water.

She can't have a good conscience, she can't do anything for Feng Niang before she is alive, at least bury her body after death.

At that time, after the villagers soaked Feng Niang in a pig cage to death, they threw the body on the bank of the river, and in the middle of the night, Chen Huilan secretly went to bury Feng Niang's body next to the grave of her husband Li Mingcheng.

She wrote the words on the simple wooden tombstone.

Somehow this matter was discovered by Feng Ji, she bewitched the people again, and added a crime similar to Feng Niang to Chen Huilan, and then the villagers soaked her in a pig cage and died, but the body went somewhere with the river.

——

After understanding the situation, Mu Hibiscus sent Feng Niang's unjust soul away.

She sat on the bed, her eyes like torches, staring at the glimmer of light in the distant mountains outside the window, faintly distracted.

Thinking about Feng Ji's cultivation, it must be unfathomable, if she openly confronts her, not only will she not be able to take advantage of her, but she may also suffer a loss, or even die here.

Of course she can't die here, because Xiao Yue is still waiting for her to go back to Maoshan to save her.

She must come up with a foolproof plan to bring Feng Ji to justice and expose her evil deeds to the villagers.

But how did she subdue Feng Ji?

There is a huge difference in cultivation between the two, and the fighting method will definitely not be able to fight her.

In addition, she can only rely on the formation to trap her, and then launch the killing machine in the formation to kill her.

But it was easier said than done to use the formation to trap her.

It was late at night, and when the hibiscus was at a loss, the toad came out of nowhere and screamed at the hibiscus "Gu Wa Gu Wa", as if there was something urgent.

Hibiscus said, "Do you want to take me somewhere?" ”

The toad did scream twice, and Hibiscus got out of bed and followed the toad out.

The toad took her out of the village, but came to Feng Ji's residence.

Puzzled, Hibiscus asked, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

The toad barked twice at Feng Ji's residence.

It's already two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, and there is still a lamp in Feng Ji's wooden house, Mu Hibiscus is a smart girl, this toad must have a deep meaning in bringing her here, and seeing that in the middle of the night, Feng Ji's house is still lit with a lamp, guessing that she must be doing something unseemly.

She crept to the edge of the hut and climbed onto the roof. She fell together, and she didn't make a sound.

Hibiscus looked inside through the crack in the roof, and saw Feng Ji sitting in front of the desk, and there were some strange things on the table, many of which she didn't recognize, but looking at this scene, she guessed that Feng Ji must be doing it at the moment.

Sure enough, after a while, she suddenly gestured back and forth in the air with her hands, and the seal was in front of her, and there were words in her mouth, and the more she read, the faster she read, and Mu Hibiscus didn't know what tricks she was doing, and when she looked up, she saw a figure coming out of the village entrance in the distance.

She couldn't help but be surprised, thinking to herself who would be here at such a late hour.

She hurriedly jumped off the roof and hid aside, and the man was walking towards the wooden house, and the closer she got, the hibiscus could see her face clearly.

This one was unbelievable, and she was shocked.
