Chapter 375: Demon Spirits
I said, "Sanniang's husband was killed by a snake demon, and we saw it in the cave today." β
Granny Wang shook her head: "It's not a snake demon, the snake demon is just me who lied to them." β
But there is obviously a snake demon! - I wanted to refute Granny Wang's words, but seeing that she looked miserable, I swallowed the words in my stomach and said, and continued to say according to her meaning: "You can't go out that night, and you are talking nonsense, right?" β
"I can't help it, if I don't say this to intimidate them, it will make people even more panicked." Granny Wang said, "I should have understood that this is the reincarnation of the destiny of heaven, and we will eventually repay all our debts, and then die, and we will never be able to live beyond our lives." Granny Wang grabbed Lingzheng's clothes and hesitated: "It is said that people are old, and everything is underestimated, but in fact, it is all pretended to be shown to others." The longer you live, the less you want to die. Everyone is afraid of death, and no one wants to die. To live, who wants to die? Lord Chenghuang, please, help us, can you? β
Granny Wang's words were a little upside down.
Her words were to the effect that although she was so old, she still didn't want to die.
Granny Wang said, "Lord Chenghuang, didn't you promise at the beginning? When the Snow Tree returns again, we will be born again, right? Lord Chenghuang? β
Lingzheng was not moved, still with a cold face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
I walked to the back room, pointed at Shen Yan and said, "Granny Wang, then what method did you use to make our friends like this?" β
Granny Wang's eyes dodged: "If the city and the city god can solve the death curse on our bodies, I will let them wake up, Snow Tree Spirit, although you used to be the spirit wood of our snowy region, but now you have been reincarnated and become a yin girl, and you are no longer a snow tree spirit, so my wife can't count on you anymore, I just want to see what City God means?" She said, spitting out a golden flesh worm from her mouth, "If you don't want to, once this golden Gu dies, your friend will never wake up." β
As soon as I looked at this bug, I thought of the woman I met in the Sheshan tombs, and the fat and disgusting Gu King. The heart said that the woman still has a little relationship with Granny Wang?
I told Granny Wang about this, but Granny Wang said that the woman was her apprentice.
"I deliberately led her to Xiayin Mountain Village, taught her Gu techniques, and let her out to cause you to come." Granny Wang told all the truth.
"I should have thought it was all connected." I looked at Granny Wang helplessly, "However, I know that you are also forced to do so, and I will try my best to help the people of the Snowy Land are cursed." - After all, this is also a bad fate that I created myself in my previous life. β
I want to know what happened in the past life and what I have suffered in this life; If you want to know what will happen in the next life, what you will do in this life.
That's true.
I, Tang Chuyi, swear here that I must be a good person in this life, so that "I" in the next life can enjoy more blessings, instead of always relieving grievances in my previous life like I did in this life.
We still haven't figured out this heavenly principle and fate, and we don't know how to help the people of Yinshan Village. However, what I saw in the cave was a real thing, and there was indeed a snake demon in Yinshan Village. I discussed with Ling Zhengyi and decided to go up and have a look. Let's get the snake tears in our hands first.
When Granny Wang learned that I was willing to help her, she was as happy as a child, and said that she would stay at home and wait for us to come back, and not go anywhere.
Ling Zheng inspected Shen Yan and Jin Shiyi's breath, it was very stable, and he was not injured. I asked Granny Wang, what about one of our companions? Granny Wang, that very sturdy young man, she didn't see it, when she cast the Golden Silkworm Gu on Shen Yan and Jin Shiyi, he was already no longer here.
Ling and I looked at each other, confirming each other's guesses.
- King Ling's tomb left by himself.
With the character and skills of King Ling's tomb, Granny Wang is afraid that this matter is a little bitter.
Ling and I were going out the door, and we were climbing the back hill again, and when I saw the familiar scene, a thought suddenly popped into my mind: I seemed to have been repeating something.
For example, several times I broke into the Yin Division, how many times I crossed the ghost, how many times I looked for copper coins, and how many times I was in danger......
Could it be that life is a never-ending cycle?!
I didn't dare to think about it.
Before I reached the cave, I saw a teenage girl next to a large tree. She hugged the tree tightly with her hands wide open, looking obsessed. One moment he was talking to himself, and the other he was peeling a small piece of bark with his hand and putting it in his mouth to eat.
I was afraid she was a delirious psychopath, because I didn't see a ghost haunting her nearby. So he pulled her to the road: "Little sister, the bark can't be eaten, where is your home?" Shall we send you home? "Who knew that the girl suddenly became very manic, and refused to come down from the tree for anything, and kept kicking and beating her legs. I didn't have a chance, and I threw a look at Lingzheng.
I asked, "Was she bewitched by the snake demon, or did she really have a problem with her brain?" β
"Be careful." As soon as the spirit was pulling me, I saw a yellow animal running out of the girl's body, like a four-legged snake.
I exclaimed, "Look, it's a baby fish." β
The baby fish, also known as the giant salamander, is the mascot of ancient times, and is also the country's protected animal, I immediately wanted to catch it with my childlike heart, but was stopped by Lingzheng: "Don't touch it, it's a demon spirit." β
"Huh?" I shuddered. This baby fish is the same as anything I've seen before, how can it be a demon? And what's worse is that I can't see it at all. If I talk about ghosts, I can tell the difference between them and people at a glance, but I really don't see any difference in this baby fish. Yellow, four-legged, lizard-like.
Lingzheng took out two horns of cow bones from his pocket and grinded them in his hand, making a hissing sound.
The baby fish let out a long cry of 'ah...... and a short cry, and then lay on the ground, motionless.
I shuddered.
It turned out that the cry last night was made by this baby fish.
Before I could figure out what to do with this baby fish, Ling Zheng directly used the cow bone horn to collect the baby fish.
Afterwards, Lingzheng said that as long as something has life, it will have the potential to become a demon spirit. As long as it is in the process of survival, when its original way of thinking has a large span with its group, it is called cultivation. When they reach a certain level of cultivation, they can not only survive longer, but also continue to preserve and expand their instincts. Just like the baby fish in front of it, it has created some illusions to confuse the people it wants to bewitch.
Obviously, there is nothing wrong with this girl, she is just trapped in the illusion created by the baby fish.
After the baby fish was subdued, the girl quickly came to her senses and told us that her name was Yan'er and her mother's name was Sanniang. Her father disappeared last night, and she is now in the mountains to find him.
I couldn't bear it, but I cruelly told her that her father was now buried in the dirt forever.
Yan'er was sad for a while, and said that she had actually started to suspect it a long time ago. She will always be a child's body, and grandparents will never die, all of which seems so treacherous. Until one day she met a talking baby fish, and she became good friends with the baby fish, and the baby fish told her that the curse of Xia Yin Mountain Village could take her away. So Yan'er followed the baby fish, but she didn't understand why she woke up and was here.
Yan'er asked us who we were? She never saw us in the village.
I continued to lie, saying that I had come for a tour and had gone astray.
"Sister, then I'll let my Grandma Wang take you out, Grandma Wang is fine." Yan'er smiled happily at me, with loneliness on her childish face.
I smiled and nodded: "Okay, when we take a look at the scenery on this mountain, I will go with you to Grandma Wang." β
"Well, okay, my house is a thatched house, with peacock feathers on the roof, it's very beautiful, three, it was given to me by the baby fish, if you want to come, it's easy to find." Yan'er stretched out her index finger and pointed in the direction of the village and told us. I nodded. She continued, "Then sister, brother, I won't tell you more, I'm going to worship my father, goodbye brother and sister." β
"Wait a minute." I called out to Yan'er and asked, "Can I ask you a strange question?" β
Yan'er nodded: "You ask." β
I bluntly asked, "Are you afraid of death?" β
Yan'er let out a long breath, then turned away, turned her back to me and replied, "I'm tired of being trapped in Xiayin Mountain Village, repeating the same routine every day, and even breathing at the same rate. I crave freedom and freshness, even if it's just a little change. Therefore, I am not afraid of death, and death is also a change. β
After saying that, Yan'er walked straight to the village.
Lingzheng and I glanced at each other, smiled knowingly, and continued walking towards the mountain.
When I got to the cave, I shivered again.
There seemed to be something different in the cave, and if you looked closely, you found some details that had not been discovered beforeβtraces of human life here.
Ling was telling me to stand still, but he walked over to a raised rock and kicked it so hard that my body jerked into the air and fell straight down. Before I could scream, Lingzheng had already covered my lips and jumped with me. He rolled around me on the ground and was unscathed.
I complained to him a little, and then looked at this strange place.
This is a stone room, in the middle of which is an incense table, on which are three wooden bowls, the left one contains rice, the right one is cinnabar, and in the middle one is nails and hair. In front of the three wooden jars, there was a piece of paste like beeswax, slimy, I don't know what it was. There is a small futon under the incense table, and two cow bone horns are placed on the side of the futon.
Directly facing the incense table, there is a copper stove half a person high, and there are dense candle prints outside the furnace, and a pillar of incense is burning in the furnace.
The whole cave looks unusually eerie.
I looked down and saw that the incense was sprinkled with glutinous rice and a few black clumps of burnt hair.
"Do you think that in Xiayin Mountain Village, who else will understand witchcraft besides Granny Wang?" I asked Lingzheng, and I had an answer in my heart running wildly.
Ling Zheng said: "I personally taught her Gu techniques, except for her, no one in Xiayin Mountain Village knows it." β
"Oops!" I exclaimed, staggering back, "Shen Yan...... Shen Yan and the others ......, "If only Granny Wang knows how to use witchcraft in Xiayin Mountain Village, then this stone cave must be the secret room of her usual practice." It can be seen that the snake demon was raised by Granny Wang herself, but she didn't say that there was no snake demon in Xiayinshan Village, so she deliberately lured us to the back mountain. She did this for only one purpose, and that was to divert the tiger from the mountain.
In our line, we are the most proficient in spiritual arts, and I should drag down the best Lingzheng master.
After we leave, King Ling's Tomb will definitely sense that something is wrong and leave with him, so only Shen Yan and Jin Shiyi will be left, Shen Yan has a big belly and is easy to control. If you control Shen Yan, it is equivalent to controlling Jin Shiyi.
Granny Wang's Gu technique was taught by Ling Zheng herself, and she is a person who has lived for so many years, Shen Yan and Jin Shiyi are definitely not her opponents.
I'm really two, why did you leave Shen Yan and them in the hut just now?
Isn't this waiting for death?
Shen Yan is still pregnant with a baby, what can I do?
