Chapter 8: The Mountains
The mountains are green and the moon is bright.
Under the bright moon like a jade plate, the small mountain village in early spring seemed to be lit with a faint layer of cold silver.
The clan elder held a cane against Xingyue, first raised his voice to explain to the villagers the purpose of gathering here tonight, and then gestured to the brocade-clothed boy in front of him who was dressed incompatible with the small mountain village.
"Ahem, the people are already together, and Childe can start."
Lin Jin bowed to the villagers after bowing to the clan elder, and when all the villagers focused their eyes on him, Lin Jin was not in a hurry to do so, but said in a calm and natural tone.
"It is the mountain rays that do evil in the village, and during the day, I have used the wood to set up a spirit removal array in the village, and I only need to activate the formation to make the mountain monster have nothing to hide, and the soul will be scattered."
When the eight characters of 'nothing to hide, the soul is scattered' came out of Lin Jin's mouth in all directions, Bai Nanxiang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but look up at Lin Jin, who was half a body taller than herself, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.
She remembered that at noon, Lin Jin clearly said that the formation made of alternative materials had no function, even if the formation was successfully arranged with the right materials, it only played a role in forcing the mountain to exist, but now in front of everyone, Lin Jin could say such words seriously, and even took the trouble to move out of the wood.
It can be seen that a serious person who looks regular on the surface may not be able to keep it in his heart, but he is also a bad stomach.
Because of her weak heart, Bai Nanxiang only dared to glance at Lin Jin and then moved her gaze to the side, just taking in the reactions of the people around her.
The villagers didn't know what the mountain was about, and they didn't know what the 'Limu' and 'Spirit Removal Array' were, so most of them reacted mediocre and only felt a little novel.
But the reaction of the Taoist and Li San's wife attracted Bai Nanxiang's attention.
The Taoist was expressionless, but for some reason, after Lin Jin's voice fell, he looked at Lin Jin with wide eyes and disbelief.
Li San's wife's reaction was much more secretive than that of the Daoist, and the expression on her face had always maintained a miserable appearance that had not changed at all, if it weren't for Bai Nanxiang's lack of wanting to look directly at Li San's wife, and her height was not enough, she might not have seen her hand holding a handkerchief hanging on the side of her leg trembling slightly due to excessive force.
The moment she noticed Li San's wife's abnormal reaction, Bai Nanxiang immediately gave up observing the people around her, and turned her eyes away, but the corner of her eye had been secretly paying attention to Li San's wife's reaction.
"You've got a wood! You're actually using a tree to catch a little manhole?! “
Hearing Lin Jin's words, the Taoist opened his mouth for the first time.
When the Taoist's voice fell, Bai Nanxiang couldn't help frowning and glanced at the Taoist.
Lin Jin stood aside and turned a deaf ear to the words of the Taoist.
Seeing the reaction of the Taoist, the villagers who had good things couldn't help but ask loudly.
"What is the Taoist Chief?"
The Taoist seemed to have no psychology, he didn't speak, only looked at Lin Jin with his eyes, as if he wanted to judge the truth of his words, but Lin Jin opened his mouth instead of him.
"The one who leaves the wood, the place where the aura is gloomy, a kind of extreme yang tree born in the square inch of heaven and earth, is the nemesis of the yin and evil monsters in the world."
As he spoke, Lin Jin took out a small section of wood from his sleeve.
The wood Bai Nanxiang knew that it was the wood used by Lin Jin when he set up the formation at noon, and the wood looked no different from ordinary wood during the day, and when he looked at it in the moonlight, there seemed to be a faint red light on the surface of the wood.
Bai Nanxiang looked at the wood and remembered Lin Jin's casual appearance when he set up the formation during the day, and couldn't help but secretly wonder if this Lin Jin had used some tricks.
The Taoist seemed to recognize the wood at a glance, and muttered in a somewhat distracted voice.
"It's really ...... off the wood"
It was as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
Lin Jin didn't pay attention to the Taoist, but held the Limu in his hand, looked around at the crowd, and then said the words as if he were saying to the mountain man.
"The wood in my hand is where the eye of the formation is, today you have no way to avoid it, if you show up to answer my questions, I can allow you not to start the formation to leave you to re-enter the reincarnation, I count to three, if you don't show up, don't blame me for being unpredictable."
After Lin Jin calmly finished speaking, everyone at the entrance of the village was silent for a while, they looked around each other vigilantly, and it seemed that all the familiar neighbors around them had become suspicious objects in an instant.
More than half of them finally fell on Bai Nanxiang.
Lin Jin also noticed everyone's reaction, he also glanced at the little girl with everyone's eyes, and then he was surprised to see that the little girl under everyone's scrutiny had become the calm and self-contained state in the morning and rejected thousands of miles away.
Lin Jin only glanced at it, then looked at everyone again, and said steadily.
"One".
As soon as the word fell, everyone looked around at each other and became more and more vigilant.
"Two".
When the word fell, the villagers subconsciously distanced themselves from each other, and their faces faintly showed panic.
Bai Nanxiang's brows furrowed slightly, and a layer of fine and dense sweat overflowed from her palms, which had always been strong, and she restrained her desire to turn her head to look at Lin Jin, for fear that her performance would be exposed.
Lin Jin still looked calm, and after shouting two, he paused for a moment, raised the Limu in his hand to his chest, and quickly spoke again.
"Three".
"Wait!"
When Lin Jin shouted three, a slow and timely sound.
With a 'buzz', everyone exploded and looked towards the source of the sound, and quickly moved away from the source of the sound.
When Bai Nanxiang heard that, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in her heart that it was really her, how could it be her.
It was Li San's wife who spoke out.
Since noticing her abnormality, Bai Nanxiang has been secretly paying attention to her every move, and when Lin Jin counted, Bai Nanxiang already had an intuition that the mountain manhole was probably hiding on the woman's body, and at this time the conjecture was verified, not only did she not feel like the stone had fallen to the ground, but her whole heart hung high.
While everyone in the village was looking at the woman, Bai Nanxiang set her eyes on the little boy in her arms, Li Zigui.
After the woman spoke, Li Zigui was still quietly snuggling next to the woman, and it was still inconspicuous when everyone didn't speak before, but now his silence looked obviously stupid.
Looking at Li Zigui's reaction, Bai Nanxiang's heart slowly sank.
Lin Jin obviously also noticed the abnormality of the little boy, he took Limu and did not make the next move, but calmly looked at the woman and waited for her to speak first.
The woman, who had looked a little melancholy, was now gloomy and crazy, and when she spoke again, her voice was so gloomy and hoarse that it was like the grinding of wood from an old wooden door.
"Hahaha, kill me with a wood, you can afford me, not bad! I'm the mountain you're looking for. ”
The mountain man did not quibble, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he admitted his identity, and there was not much panic in his tone.
But the villagers, after hearing the words of the mountain man, took a few steps back in horror, and some of the timid children almost cried and were covered by their parents.
A few of the villagers standing on the periphery were ready to slip away immediately if the situation was wrong.
The manhole's words continued.
"It's a pity that you want my life, it's not that easy! If I am not prepared at all, how can I honestly step into your formation! ”
After speaking, the mountain mandrill grabbed the little boy's collar and raised it in front of him with one hand, but his eyes looked at Bai Nanxiang beside Lin Jin.
"Little girl, if you can take me out of this village, how about I let your friend go?"
