Chapter 17: Searching for Evil in the Mountains (I)
The master sighed lightly and said, "I didn't expect Uncle Fool to ...... Alas, I went in first to see the body and determine how he died. I'll explain to Village Chief Niu in detail about last night later! As he spoke, the people in the big house came out one after another to make way for the master, and at this time, I saw that on the floor of the big house, Uncle Confused was lying on his back on a broken mat, and an old woman sitting next to him was burying her head and choking, and the scene was very miserable.
When he got closer, the master opened Uncle Mutu's eyelids and looked at it, touched his chin again, and then unbuttoned Uncle Mutu's shirt, until the master saw a cloud of blue and black gas accumulated on Uncle Mutu's chest, so he decisively buttoned it again, turned around and walked out. Went straight to the cowshed, only to see a short wooden stake nailed under the cowshed, and there is a half-cut rope on it, and there are traces of tearing on the rope head, it seems that this old ox is very unusual!
Walking back to the courtyard, the master glanced around, but the villagers who were swept away by the master's gaze turned their heads and dodged away, for fear that the death of the foolish uncle would have something to do with them. But the master still asked, "Did the people in the neighborhood hear anything last night?" ”
"Yes, yes!" At this time, the village chief Niu volunteered to come over, and pointed to a few villagers, motioned for them to come over and talk, and said: "These are the neighbors of Uncle Fool, they said earlier that they heard some movement last night, well, you and this Mr. Yang tell me the specific situation." ”
"It seems to be the second half of the night, my man got up at night, but before he went out of the door, he heard a 'bang' sound from Uncle Mu's yard, followed by a scream from Uncle Mu, and then there was no more, my man was so scared that he didn't dare to go out all night......"
It was a middle-aged woman who said it very seriously, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"I also heard those two sounds, but I was sleeping in a daze at that time, and I thought it was Uncle Confused who got up to feed the cow and was topped by the cow, and I didn't care about it at the time, I didn't think about Uncle Fool...... Alas! If you want to say that Uncle Fool is a good person......"
The other one who spoke was also a middle-aged woman, and it seemed that the men in their family were embarrassed to mention what happened last night, but this woman began to talk about what a good person Uncle Mu was as she spoke, and then resonated with some of the surrounding villagers, and they got together and began to discuss what good things Uncle Mu had done. But I think it's a little ironic, I know that Uncle Fool is a kind old man, why didn't I come here to see what happened when I heard Uncle Fool scream?
The master lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then asked Village Chief Niu, "Village Chief Niu, who came first in the morning?" Is Uncle Fool's door closed or open? ”
The village chief Niu thought for a while and said: "In the morning, a big nephew of Uncle Fool came in first, he said that the door was open, and when he came in, he saw you and saw the same scene, we villagers all felt strange, you said to steal the cow, you stole the cow, why did you kill such an old man, you say, this is simply a lack of great virtue!" ”
"No!" Master hurriedly shook his head and said, "It wasn't the cattle thief who killed Uncle Mutu, and it wasn't the cow thief who led the cow away!" ”
"Huh?" As soon as Master's words came out, the surrounding villagers suddenly fell silent and looked at Master in surprise, and Village Chief Niu was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yang, that is the judgment you just read, how did Uncle Fool die?" How did the cow disappear?! ”
The master ignored the villagers who were watching the excitement, but said bluntly: "The cow ran by itself, and Uncle Fool was killed by that cow." After Uncle Fool died, the cow probably felt that this was not a hiding place, so he ran away. Maybe the village chief Niu will think this is nonsense, how can a cow have such a great ability, but this is the case, and before Uncle Fool died, he was still sucked dry, or it could be that the cow was afraid that Uncle Fool would not die and shouted people around, so he simply knocked him to death so as not to spoil the big thing! ”
"That, this, that......" Village Chief Niu didn't know what to say for a while, and when he heard it, it seemed that the master had been emphasizing one thing, that is, Village Chief Niu opened his mouth and asked, "Is that cow a sperm?" Otherwise, why would it suck up the essence of Uncle Fool and kill Uncle Fool, and run away after the collision, Mr. Yang, if you are not a Taoist priest, but an ordinary person, I'm afraid I will give you a big mouth just now, this sounds too mysterious, it's almost unthinkable......"
The master was not moved by the words of the village chief in the slightest, but said solemnly: "The cow did not become a spirit, but became a demonic thing attached to the body of the cow!" ”
As soon as they heard the evil thing, most of the surrounding villagers rushed out at once, and they all went home, and they seemed to be frightened. However, there were also some young men who came forward to listen to the rarity with full spirits. Village Chief Niu suddenly stammered and asked, "Then that, what should I do now?" What kind of demons and ghosts, will they harm other villagers?! ”
Master shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's hard to say, I might as well tell you that the demonic thing was originally going to harm the wife of the old pig fairy, we rushed to the old pig fairy's house in time last night, and seriously injured the evil thing, it ran out, and now the old pig fairy is taking care of his wife at home, and his wife is also in a coma, and after the evil thing was hit hard, it urgently needs to absorb the essence of the living to restore its vitality, because it has no body, so it is temporarily stored on the old cow in the yard of Uncle Confused, After sucking up the essence of Uncle Confused, he must have hid in the mountains to cultivate, and it is hard to guarantee that he will run to the village at night to absorb the essence of other people, so Village Chief Niu, that demonic thing must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise the villagers of this Niutun will suffer! ”
"Yes, yes!" Village Chief Niu slapped his thigh, nodded heavily in approval, and said excitedly: "Mr. Yang, that demonic thing must be eliminated!" We can't let it run into our village and harm the villagers! So what do you do now? How do you get rid of that goblin? If we want to say that we are all ordinary people, and we are not as capable as you, maybe we can't help you much, this ......"
The master suddenly glanced back at the young men who were still listening to the rarity around him, but they were swept away by the master's gaze, and immediately turned around and left, but the master stopped him in time: "You wait first." ”
"Huh?" Those young and middle-aged men suddenly showed bitter gourd faces, and stood in place trembling, as if they were regretting why they didn't run away with the other villagers just now.
"Ahh Village Chief Niu waved his hand and said angrily: "Now Mr. Yang is helping our village get rid of goblins, as a member of the villagers, if Mr. Yang needs your help, you are duty-bound, since Mr. Yang asked you to stay, then you will stay first to hear what specific arrangements Mr. Yang has!" I didn't expect that this village chief Niu is also a good cadre who can carry things, and in a few words, those young and middle-aged men walked back with their heads drooped, and their faces were full of grievances and innocence.
Master frowned and said, "I really need your help, because the demonic thing is attached to the body of the cow and burrows into the deep mountains and old forests, and I alone cannot find and intercept it. But don't be afraid, as long as you bring something to protect yourself as I ask, there will be no danger! ”
"Also, you have to defend yourself?" One of the young men asked in horror, "Mr. Yang, will that goblin also suck us dry and become like Uncle Fool?!" ”
