Chapter 49: Five Sheep
I was using the jack pendant with all my might, pressing the big willow tree, when I thought that two black lights would run out, and one of them would come straight to my front door.
In times of crisis, human reactions are instinctive.
I didn't care about pressing the big willow tree anymore, I turned around to avoid the black light, but I also fell from the big willow tree, and at this time Tian Yingying was waving her hands and running towards me:
"Han Xiaoxie, come and save me, this thing has been following me ......"
I looked over and smiled wryly.
There was indeed a black light following Tian Yingying, but the speed of this black light was not fast, and it was very faint, as if it was about to dissipate. The black light that rushed straight to the door in front of me before was now hovering in mid-air, similar to the one chasing Tian Yingying.
I was bluffed in an instant! I was bluffed by a monster that had been suppressed under a tree for hundreds of years!
He doesn't have the ability to hurt us in three at all, he just splits his hands slightly to distract us, and we can't hold it out.
Ignoring the true qi that was still surging after the interruption of the jack fall, I hurriedly jumped onto the big willow tree, intending to continue to suppress the demon below.
But this time I stepped on the big willow tree again, and I felt a strong concussion, and a strong sense of discomfort.
I was shocked and immediately realized that it was too late!
I hurriedly jumped off the big willow tree, pulled Tian Yingying and ran.
We hadn't run a few steps before we heard a bang behind us—
Some wood chips, broken willow branches, just like that!
The fishy smell in the village suddenly became several points stronger.
I didn't bother to go back at all, so I picked up Tian Yingying and ran, stumbling to a very old cellar in Wuyangtun, where the smell of fish was relatively less.
Tian Yingying was more seriously affected by the smell than me, retched for a long time, and her usually red little face became pale:
"Vomit...... Under that tree, what kind of monster is it, and how is it ...... It stinks. ”
I shook my head, Wang Cui's records were not complete, and I didn't know what the monster was under the tree.
But now it seems that this is not an easy guy to deal with.
I took some parts out of my bag and quickly assembled a Evil Suppression Pagoda, the best evil suppression artifact I could make right now.
But the evil suppression pagoda can't even suppress the river demon, and most of the monsters under the willow tree are useless.
"I don't know what that monster is, but it's been suppressed under the roots of the tree, and it has accumulated hundreds of years of yin qi and resentment, and now is the most ferocious time, and it's not easy to deal with.
Let's hide here for a while, and wait for the resentment it has to dissipate, so that it may be easier to deal with. ”
Tian Yingying nodded, judging from her timid appearance, it is estimated that Tian Yingying is also a little afraid.
I sighed and took Tian Yingying to look at the contents of the old cellar.
In a village like Wuyangtun, which has some history, there will always be some strange old objects left in the village for hundreds of years.
For example, the particularly heavy semi-drawn grinding discs, the old ox carts, and the bottles and cans of unknown uses, it is also interesting to find out.
I looked at Tian Yingying for a while, and then I found an interesting object-
"What is this big rock here for?"
What we found was a dusty stone that looked very old next to the semi-drawn grinding disc.
The shape of the stone is not very regular, but the front is very flat.
I frowned, this old cellar Wuyangtun should have been used as a warehouse, this stone should have been placed here by the villagers before, and it is definitely not an ordinary stone.
I took the mounting paper out of my bag, wiped the dust off the surface of the stone, and saw the text underneath - it was part of a stone tablet.
Tian Yingying has studied with Uncle Tian for so many years, but she hasn't learned much Taoism, but she knows the traditional Chinese characters, and she stumbled and read them out:
“…… There are three divine sheep here, which are immortal grass, elixirs, and benefit one party...... There are thousands of bitter people gathered here, which means villages, and they all worship the gods and sheep......"
“…… One day, a good harvest, everyone is drunk...... Then he caught five sheep and cooked them...... The god sheep was angry......"
I don't have to wait for Tian Yingying to finish reading, just a glance, and I already understand the general idea of the matter.
Is...... O iniquity!
On this stele, the origin of Wuyangtun is described in detail.
In the beginning, there were five sacred sheep in this land. They gave medicine and helped the people drive away the wild beasts, so more and more poor people gathered here, intending to build a village around the five sacred sheep, which is now Wuyangtun.
After a lot of hard work, the village was finally built, and the villagers were very happy.
But when the village was built and everyone drank to celebrate, everyone drank high! It seemed that there was not enough food and drink, so everyone slaughtered the five divine sheep together, so the five sheep became corpses.
After the death of the five sheep, they were deeply resentful, and tortured Wuyangtun enough, at this time, there was a wandering Taoist who came to Wuyangtun, and then there was a story recorded in Wang Cui's notebook.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, when the five divine sheep sheltered the villagers, who would have thought that the villagers would take revenge, and the five divine sheep were not angry and took revenge...... It's really hard to say who's right and who's wrong. ”
Why only the descendants of the first group of villagers were sucked by the willow tree, I think this is the revenge of the five sheep. After all, he used to be a divine sheep, even if he was angry after death, he would not harm people casually.
I suddenly wavered, not knowing whether to stop the five sheep or not, after all, it was the villagers who did not do it right in the first place.
At this time, the wind whirring outside the cellar was much quieter, and the fishy smell was the same, so it should be that the resentment began to dissipate.
At this time, Tian Yingying suddenly said to me:
"Shall we go out now?"
I shook my head:
"Let's wait, I'm honestly a little confused right now, I don't know who is right and who's wrong......"
People need guidance from others in many cases, I smiled bitterly and said the hesitation in my heart, but I didn't expect Tian Yingying's eyes to widen and look at me with the same eyes as a mentally handicapped child:
"Han Xiaoxie, are you a fool?"
I scratched my head:
"When, of course not, why do you ask!"
Tian Yingying stretched out her hand, flicked me a brain melon, and then said angrily:
"Since you're not a fool, why would you bother with this kind of question? You are a human being, and you are not the patriarch of the sheep clan, so you can't complain about the sheep.
And if you don't deal with those five sheep, do you think they can let us go unharmed?
It's a game, and from the moment you step in, you don't have a choice. ”
My eyes widened and I looked at Tian Yingying in great surprise......
