Village Chief Yang lifted the teacup full of tea dirt and waved his hand very imposingly: "Let's go, I'll take you to have a look." ”

Ye Zhiqiu and Liu Xue smiled and followed behind Village Chief Yang.

Behind the village is a hillside with woodland above, just outside the villagers' backyards.

Walking on the road, you can see a field of chicken feathers, with a little blood on them.

In the middle of the woodland, there is an east-west fissure, which zigzags and stretches to the east end of the woods.

The ground cracked about two feet wide, and in some places it had collapsed.

Liu Xue walked slowly forward along the ground crack, and said: "In this way, it seems that the monster came from the ground, and it arched in the underground to create this ground crack ......."

"The monster underground, could it be Su Zhen's kindred, a monster like General Chang?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

Liu Xue squatted on the edge of the crack, carefully distinguishing the smell, shook her head and said, "It's two monsters, it seems that they are chasing and fleeing." The one who caused the ground crack should be a centipede essence. ”

"Is it a big centipede?"

"That's right, it should be the centipede spirit and other monsters fighting, causing the pond fish and the chickens and dogs in the village. But I can't tell what the thing fighting the centipede is, I only know that this thing has a strong fire on it. Liu Xue continued to move forward and said.

"Five elements against five poisons, centipedes belong to earth, scorpions belong to fire, is it centipede essence vs. scorpion essence?" Ye Zhiqiu also analyzed.

Liu Xue frowned slightly: "We are in the town, and those people said that two poisonous dragons fought against the flying turtle. The two poisonous dragons may be centipede essences, so the flying turtle, will it be...... Spider Spirit? Because spiders and turtles are similar in size, they are somewhat similar when viewed from a distance. ”

"But spiders belong to gold in the five elements, not fire." Ye Zhiqiu said.

"I've read in ancient books that there is a kind of monster called the fire dragon spider, which can't spin silk, but there is poisonous fire in the belly, which is very powerful. Therefore, spiders cannot correspond to the fire of the five elements, but it may not be without fire. Liu Xue said.

"Now it's just speculation and analysis, and we still need to find the monster to be sure." Ye Zhiqiu said.

While he was talking, suddenly there was the sound of waist drums and bells on the path at the head of the village.

When Village Chief Yang heard the voice, he smiled and said, "The shaman is here, I'll go and receive it, you guys will analyze it slowly here, and you will have dinner at my house in the evening, and I'll entertain you." ”

After that, Village Chief Yang slipped away.

Ye Zhiqiu and Liu Xue glanced at each other, stopped surveying, and followed behind Village Chief Yang to see the shaman.

The shaman is a member of the Shushu School in the northern part of the Huaxia Kingdom, and has almost no communication with the Central Plains Shushu.

Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu has no understanding of the shaman mages in the north, and with the opportunity now, Ye Zhiqiu can take the opportunity to see it.

Anyway, it's not a big deal now, and being idle is also idle.

The shaman and his entourage had just gotten off at the entrance of the village, and were walking towards Santang Village at the moment, which was very lively.

There were five of them in total, and the one walking in front should be the mage, wearing colorful clothes and wearing three-color oil paint on his face, which was very festive.

The four in the back, also dressed in specific clothes, shaking bells and beating waist drums, are about the mage's boy apprentices or assistants.

Village Chief Yang greeted him with a smile on his face and nodded in reception.

The villagers also came out one after another to greet the shaman.

Judging by the respectful attitude of the villagers, the shaman is very prestigious here.

Ye Zhiqiu and Liu Xue were mixed in the crowd, only watching and not talking.

Village Chief Yang led the shaman and his party to his door.

The shaman did not enter the house, but sat outside the house and instructed everyone to make preparations.

Village Chief Yang gathered a dozen villagers and began to work under the command of the shaman's four retinues.

Most of the middle-aged men and old men in the village remained in the village, and only small children and young women were sent out.

Most of the men who send their children to other villages will come at this moment to watch the shamans do the work and protect their homes.

Not long after, a log was erected in the open space in front of Yang's house, on which was tied dried wormwood filled with ointment. It seems that this wood is used to make a torch.

Then, a basin of water and a pile of finely chopped dry firewood were placed on the field.

When it was dark, the tall torch lit a fire, illuminating Santang Village brightly.

The shaman broke the ointment on the pile of broken wood, lit a fire, and spread it evenly under the torch, centering on the torch pole to form a fire field with a diameter of more than one zhang.

Then, the shaman began to do so.

I saw the shaman walking around the fire, shaking the bell, chanting words in his mouth, and from time to time he would open his hands and shout to the sky.

It's a pity that the shaman's mantra is not pronounced in Chinese, so Ye Zhiqiu can't understand a word like listening to foreign language.

Liu Xue didn't understand it, but she watched it with relish.

The four disciples of the shaman also followed behind the mage, reciting the same mantra and beating bells and drums.

After turning left and right three times, the shaman took off his shoes, dipped his feet in the water, and then walked barefoot into the flames under the torch platform, stepped on the firewood, and continued walking, rattling the bell and reciting the mantra.

Stepping barefoot on the fire, this can be regarded as some ability, Ye Zhiqiu watched from outside the crowd and nodded slightly.

However, the villagers of Santang Village were not surprised, and they were not surprised. It's as if a shaman is walking barefoot on a fire, just like everyone drinking water and eating.

Village Chief Yang quietly walked to Ye Zhiqiu's side, pulled Ye Zhiqiu, and said in a low voice: "How is it, the shaman mage is very powerful, right?" ”

"It's amazing." Ye Zhiqiu nodded.

"Can you walk in the fire like a shaman?" Village Chief Yang asked again.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled, shook his head and said, "I will only catch monsters, nothing else." ”

Walking in the fire is not a skill, and when the Maoshan disciple master is on his body, he can be invulnerable. Not to mention a firewood fire, even if it is a charcoal fire, you can step on it barefoot.

And with Ye Zhiqiu's current cultivation, he doesn't need his master to go up, and he can walk unhindered in the water and fire.

It's just that Ye Zhiqiu doesn't want to brag in front of the village chief, but he has seen a big scene!

Village Chief Yang smiled and turned to the side to continue watching.

The shaman surrounds the torch, still turns left and right three times, and then calmly comes out, washes his feet and puts on his shoes.

At this point, the shaman's practice is over.

Village Chief Yang stepped forward and asked, "Shaman, what kind of monster was there last night?" ”

The shaman slowly put on his shoes, then looked at everyone and said, "I asked the gods just now, and the gods said that the monsters last night were two centipede spirits and a spider spirit......

Damn, the shaman has some skills! Ye Zhiqiu was slightly surprised. (April 4th, 1st Update)
