The time of recuperation passed quickly, we were originally scheduled to stay in Luogang Village for only three days, but because of the enthusiasm of the villagers, we stayed for two more days, on the fifth day, the frightened villagers all returned to normal, and the Gu people had also recovered, we were in a hurry to go to Maoshan, so we declined the kindness of the villagers and left Luogang Village.

It was Lao Luo who sent us out of the village, and he told us that this time it was his last sports car, and now that the child has returned to normal, he plans to return to the village and continue to run his farmhouse.

There is also Xiaoling who went out of the village with us, she came back from leave this time, and now her brother's illness has been cured, she has also let go of a big stone in her heart, and is ready to go back to the hospital to learn some things, if she can stay in the hospital, it is best to save the trouble of finding a job in the future.

After arriving in the town, Lao Luo thanked him for a thousand thanks, took out several bags of game specialties from the cargo box of the car, and then took out four bulging red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to a few of us, saying that this was a little bit of the village's heart, let us accept it.

Naturally, I won't accept it, I've seen the situation in Luogang Village, the villagers are not rich, and my conscience will be disturbed if I collect this money, and I'm not short of money now.

Seeing that I didn't accept it, Lao Luo suddenly became anxious, saying that this was a task given to him by everyone, and if we didn't accept it, he would definitely be blamed when he went back. I was helpless for a while, so I had to take the game jerky, push the red envelope back, and said that I accepted the specialty, but the money really couldn't be collected, and I understood everyone's kindness.

Lao Luo still looked embarrassed, I hurriedly changed the topic, and asked him to go back and tell the villagers that from now on, don't go near the Demon Ghost Valley, there are still very terrible things in it, and even if we encounter it, it will be nine deaths.

When Lao Luo heard about this, his face suddenly turned grim, and he said that he had written it down, and immediately explained it to the villagers after he went back.

Seeing that the time was not early, we took the special products sent by the villagers and took the long-distance bus to Jurong City, Jiangsu, and the final destination of this trip was the famous Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing School.

Speaking of Maoshan, it is almost a well-known Taoist sect, and in many people's cognition, Taoism is Maoshan. Such a statement is actually incorrect, Maoshan is indeed a major representative of Taoism, but this does not mean that Taoism is Maoshan, in Shenzhou Xuanmen, there are many major factions with the same influence as Maoshan, such as Laoshan factions, Quanzhen Sect, Zhengyi faction, Wudang Danding faction, Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao, and Yan Wudao's Zhengqian faction, these are all famous factions in Xuanmen, both strength and influence are not worse than Maoshan, and some even have exceeded.

Speaking of which, you may have doubts, since these sects are so famous, then, why is only Maoshan familiar to the world? Speaking of this, we have to mention the impact of modern technology and film and television media on traditional Taoism.

As we all know, in the past ten years, supernatural films and zombie films have been widely popular, and due to the vast market, follow-up works abound. Maybe the screenwriter of the pioneering work has a certain understanding of Maoshan, so he quoted the image of Maoshan Taoist, and after becoming an instant hit, all followers have adopted this image, so all movies or TV that involve demons, monsters and Taoist priests must be involved in Maoshan, such as the Taoist priest of a certain cow fork, as soon as he appeared, he must report a sentence "I am the successor of Maoshan ......"

There are also some fake Taoist priests who are wandering around, swaggering and deceiving, and they open their mouths to say that they are the righteous path of Maoshan, in fact, how can there be so many Maoshan descendants in this world, and most of the people who claim to be descendants of Maoshan are basically liars.

In addition to these, there is also a historical reason, which I also mentioned in the previous chapter, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the warlords were all over the place, the war was poisonous, and the people were killed and injured countless times. The disaster continued, and Maoshan, which was famous for controlling corpses, sent a large number of disciples into Xiangxi to help quell the corpse disaster. And the corpse chasers run all the year round, and they all regard themselves as the descendants of Maoshan, and over the years, they basically have contact with people from all over the world, and the name of Maoshan is famous all over the world, and the recognition in the world is also higher than that of the rest of the sects.

My understanding of Maoshan is limited to the images I have encountered in film and television dramas, which is very vague, and I always feel that no matter where I meet a Taoist priest, it seems to be a Taoist priest of Maoshan, so I asked the Taoist priest for advice.

The Taoist priest and I sat together, weeping all the way, and the old turtle was lying on top of his head, enthusiastically pounding a mobile phone with one paw.

The mobile phone is a Taoist priest's, the origin of the old turtle is a mystery, since it woke up, it has shown great curiosity about all the things around it, the mobile phone we use, the camera, the flashlight, the light, the TV and so on are all treasures in the eyes of the old turtle, it wants to take it as its own when it sees my mobile phone at first sight, fortunately I reacted fast enough, and took it back in time, otherwise it would really be a meat bun to beat the dog and there is no return.

But the Taoist priest was miserable, since he was taught a hard lesson by the old turtle that night, the Taoist priest completely became the slave of the old turtle, all the things on his body were occupied by the old turtle, and he became the old turtle's mount for free, and he was about to die of resignation.

This makes me quite puzzled, I understand the character of the Taoist priest, although this guy is righteous enough, but he is definitely not the kind of person who can suffer, he was bullied by the old turtle on his head like this, it is said that he should have broken out a long time ago, how could he tolerate the old turtle to be so domineering?

I saw that all the attention of the old turtle was on the mobile phone, so I lowered my voice and whispered in the Taoist priest's ear: "Hey, I said, how can you let this turtle bully like this?" Even I can't stand it anymore, you can still bear it, isn't this your style? ”

Hearing my question, the Taoist priest's face changed, and he hurriedly made a silent gesture at me. After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the old turtle's movement, he was relieved, but he still didn't dare to speak, borrowed his mobile phone from me, opened the notepad and entered a paragraph on it, I leaned over to take a look, and found that what he wrote was: Don't talk nonsense, this is a big man on the head, don't mess with it, otherwise we will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

I wondered in my heart, took the phone and made a call: What is the origin of this guy? Even you're afraid of it?

The Taoist priest continued to reply: It's not that I'm afraid, but I can't afford to provoke it, and I don't know its specific identity, but Dao Ye is sure that this master is definitely not ordinary, I feel a breath in him that makes my soul tremble, and it is definitely not the breath of the world.

If it's not the breath of the world, is it the reincarnation of a god? I muttered in my heart, feeling that what the Taoist priest said was really a bit outrageous.

Just as the two of us were secretly making small movements, the old turtle suddenly stuck his head down, so frightened that the Taoist priest almost threw my mobile phone out.

While we were talking, the Taoist priest and the doctor returned.

The Taoist priest's face was not very good, he was covered in mud, his clothes were tattered, as if he had been bitten by something, he was very embarrassed, and he scolded while walking into the house, and the doctor followed him with a helpless face.

Seeing this situation, we were all confused, I don't know what happened, Lao Luo and his family got up to bathe Taoist priest Zhang Luo hot water and clean clothes, I asked him in surprise what was going on?

The Taoist priest ignored me, and found a stool to sit down by the charcoal fire to roast the fire, still scolding in his mouth.

It was the middle of winter, although the climate in Luogang Village was not bad, and it was even a little hot when the sun was shining during the day, the temperature in the morning and evening was still very low.

The Taoist priest didn't want to speak, so I had to look at the doctor and ask what was going on, did you two go to plant rice or what?

The doctor smiled bitterly, looked at the Taoist priest helplessly, and told us the ins and outs of the matter, and after listening, all of us smiled kindly.

It turned out that the two Taoist priests refused the invitation of the villagers after treating the last frightened child in the village, who knew that something happened on the way back.

Luogang Village was hunting for a living a long time ago, basically every household has the habit of raising hunting dogs, even if there are fewer hunters in recent years, but the villagers' habit of raising dogs has continued, plus many families do not like to keep dogs on a leash, which has led to the village is full of wandering dogs.

On the way back from the two, a black dog has been following the Taoist butt and barking wildly, the Taoist priest is also owed, and turned around and scolded the black dog to scare a few words, the dog saw that the Taoist priest was tall, and more fierce than it, and was really frightened, so he didn't make a sound, just lowered his head and followed behind the Taoist buttocks.

When the Taoist priest saw that the dog was so unfrightened, his heart was happy, and he didn't care about the black dog's strange behavior, but just treated the black dog as if he was on the same road as him. The two need to pass through a half-mountain terraced field on the way back to Lao Luo's house, just after the late autumn, after the rice in the field is harvested, the field has been soaking in water, and only the narrow ridge between the terraced fields can pass.

The black dog that had been following the Taoist priest seemed to have become a spirit, and when he saw that the Taoist priest was unable to move on the ridge, he suddenly became troubled, and he bit the Taoist priest's buttocks.

The Taoist priest's perception was extremely keen, and he noticed it at the moment when the black dog pounced, but the narrow ridge could not dodge at all, so the Taoist priest had to fight with the black dog that pounced on him, and in a panic, his foot slipped and he was planted in the paddy field.

The rice field is soaked in water all the year round, smooth and abnormal, the Taoist priest has no strength, but he can't make any strength in the knee-high mud, and he was bullied by the black dog for a while, if the doctor didn't drink the black dog away in time, the Taoist priest may be even more embarrassed than now.

We laughed so much that tears were about to flow out, and the Taoist priest hummed by the fire: "Hmph, laugh, laugh, it's best for you to laugh to death, and that dead dog, damn it, when he left, he dared to pee on the Taoist master, don't let the Taoist master catch him, otherwise he will definitely peel it and eat dog meat hot pot." ”

I was already laughing so much that I touched the wound on my shoulder, and while holding back my laughter, I comforted him and said, "I said, don't be like a dog, and you deserve it, who told you to scare people first?" ”

"Fart, if it hadn't been chasing Dao Ye and barking, would Dao Ye scare it? Damn, let's talk about it, it's still the wrong of these villagers, why do you have nothing to do with raising so many dogs, okay, you can raise it, but you can tie it up, mother, look at what the Taoist master has bitten into? ”

I really can't bear it anymore, if the Taoist priest stays here, I will definitely be able to crack the wound with laughter, just at this time Lao Luo and his wife prepared hot water, I was busy pushing the Taoist priest to take a bath, and it was easy to calm down.

After the priests had finished washing, we continued to eat, and I was almost full, so I drank tea and chatted with them.

Lao Luo heard that the priest was bitten by a dog, his face was strange, I saw that his face was different, so I asked him what was wrong? Lao Luo told us that the dogs in the village are all hunting dogs, and although the big guys don't make a living from hunting, they still go into the mountains from time to time to get some game, so the dogs in the village are all trained and will not bite people for no reason.

I also thought it was strange, so I asked the Taoist priest if he accidentally provoked the dog first, and the Taoist priest said bullshit, he had never seen that dog since he came to the village, how could he provoke it? The doctor also said that they had never run into the black dog before they came back, so it was strange.

Just when we couldn't think of a reason, Xiao Ling suddenly said: "That, in the past few years, in order to find a master to see a doctor for my brother, I have seen a lot of rumors, I heard that black dogs are psychic, it is chasing the Taoist and biting you, will it be ......?"

A word woke up the dreamer, the Taoist priest who was gnawing on the hare's leg was stunned instantly, he suddenly put down the rabbit leg in his hand, wiped his hand, asked Lao Luo for a clean basin, took the water, and used the cinnabar he carried with him to temporarily draw a strange talisman that I had never seen, chanting a mantra in his mouth, the freshly drawn talisman spontaneously combusted on his fingertips, and the talisman ash sprinkled into the water, forming a very thin layer of bright black floating layer on the water surface.

The Taoist priest leaned over and stared at the basin for a while, his face suddenly changed, I saw that his cold sweat was coming down, and I knew that things were not good, so I hurriedly asked him what was wrong?

The Taoist priest's face turned pale, and he pointed to the layer of talisman ash suspended in the basin and said, "See for yourself!" ”

I didn't know why, so I leaned over, and at a glance, I was also taken aback, only to see that the Taoist priest's face reflected in the ash layer was covered with scarlet blood, and there was a vague shadow attached to him, which was also red, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

"What is this?" I asked, surprised.

At this time, the others also saw the scene reflected in the basin one after another, and their faces changed greatly, and they all looked at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest's face had softened, and after scolding his mother, he said to me: "This is the blood ghost poison curse, it is a vicious black witch spell, the caster needs to pay the price of his life to cast a spell, the spell will immediately be haunted by the blood ghost, at the beginning of the bad luck continues, and then as the spell mark becomes deeper and deeper, the blood ghost will turn into substance, and the blood in the body of the spell will become the medium for the blood ghost to devour the host, and finally even the soul will be completely eaten by the blood ghost." ”
