Chapter 11: The Wandering Boy
Chapter 11 The Wandering Boy
The old owner of the village returned to the village to recuperate. In the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the wind swept the sand and stones and crackled the windows.
In order to heal the old owner's injuries, the people in the village invited a famous doctor in the village overnight. The famous doctor's name is Feng Dao.
In the past few hundred years, the main belief in Wuzhai is Buddha, but Feng Dao is just like its name, it is a Taoist. Hundreds of years ago, the five monks fought demons, in fact, before the five monks, there was an immortal Dao who came to Wuzhai one step earlier.
According to legend, this fairy wind and bone man made a survey of the village, and declared in public that the demons were as vulnerable as ants in his hands, and this person set up a platform that night. Just when the people in the village were full of hope that the demon would be caught, the man was the first to be hit by the demon wind, and he immediately foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious. As a result, the demons killed many villagers that night, and from that day on, Taoists had no place to stand in the village.
However, although this person is powerless in exorcism, he is a master of medical skills. Many incurable diseases are in his hands, and a few prescriptions can turn danger into relief. It is precisely because he has saved a lot of people and has excellent medical skills that the people in the village do not want him to leave, and he also stayed because of his arrogance and the death of the people in the village, because of guilt.
As a result, there is a small Taoist temple in the village. Also a small hospital. But in terms of status, the status of each of these contemplators is far from the status of the living Buddha, others are gods, they are still people. But people will always get sick, and the Taoist temple has been passed down for a hundred years, and the medical skills have always been exquisite. People who are often sentenced to death by major hospitals can come here to rejuvenate themselves. Therefore, the people in the village still have a lot of respect for the people in this temple.
In recent decades, due to the great development of medical technology, no one has come to Taoist temples for treatment of ordinary minor diseases. Mainly because the medical treatment here always seems a bit strange and elusive to the average person. And the medicine often has the raw materials of insects and animal feces, which always gives people an uncomfortable feeling. As a result, most people do not visit for general illnesses unless they have a serious illness.
As a result, there were originally five Taoist Taoist temples, but now there are four people who have also done other jobs, and only one is left to seal the Tao.
Feng Dao, this person's medical skills are extremely skillful, and he has pulled people whose lives are hanging by a thread back from the ghost gate several times. But this person has a shortcoming, his personality is too eccentric, so people call him crazy behind his back. Feng Dao didn't care about this name. He often preached in the stockade, although most people ignored him, believing that he was just going around for good.
Now the owner of the old village is in trouble, and everyone is helpless, so they have to be this living immortal. At first, Feng Dao was reluctant to come, and he lost his temper because everyone disturbed his dreams. But later, when he heard that the injured person was the owner of the village, he immediately rushed to the scene with a medicine box on his back.
After some inspection, it was found that the owner of the village was not lightly poisoned, so he immediately used the medicine to boil water and take it, and waited for further treatment the next day.
Feng Dao lay beside the owner of the village to prevent poison in the middle of the night. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a light in his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw white light disappearing from time to time outside the house. I thought to myself that it must not be a good thing. As soon as I thought of this, the sound of fighting sounded outside the house.
In order to protect the old village owner, Shengtian specially selected more than a dozen shrewd and capable villagers to live in the courtyard before leaving, and these dozen people took turns to stand guard.
At this time, Zhai Ding found a person walking outside the courtyard gate, exuding a cold white light through the bones, and when he got closer, he found that this person who came was wearing the clothes of ordinary villagers, but when he looked at his face, he scared Zhai Ding a lot.
It turned out that this person had no facial features, and all of them were smooth skin.
Without waiting for Zhai Ding to ask, the person who came was unprepared and took the lead. A villager couldn't dodge, and his eyes were forcibly pulled out by the visitor. Then he waved his eyes to his head with both hands, and then shook his head, as if he didn't feel appropriate, and threw them away.
When the other villagers heard the movement, they all drew their knives and jumped into the courtyard, and the people who came had no eyes, but they seemed to have eyes all over their bodies. So far, a white light has flashed in the courtyard, and then dozens of screams have arisen one after another.
The eyes of more than a dozen villagers were all picked out by the faceless man in an instant.
The villagers covered their faces and screamed, and the facelings tried a lot of eyeballs on their faces one by one, but they all shook their heads and threw them away. The faceless man froze, breathless, as if made of rubber, but his next target was the owner of the house.
Feng Dao saw the strange methods of the facelings outside the house, and his heart was also very nervous. I'm afraid the burden of protecting the old village owner is going to fall on me. Feng Dao hung the gossip on the wall of the house, took out the peachwood sword from his bag, and stood in the doorway staring at the faceling.
The Facelings stood in the courtyard for a long time, seemingly without any intention of entering the house. Suddenly there was a flash of fire in his hand, and several fireballs were thrown into the room. Feng Dao immediately used the peachwood sword to extinguish the fireballs one by one, and randomly flew into the courtyard.
Although the Facelings were eyeless but full of eyes, they immediately opened their stances and prepared to face the battle.
Sealing the passage and chanting a mantra, he swung his peachwood sword and stabbed the Faceling's heart. The Faceling was silent, his body turned, and he was behind Feng Dao at once. Feng Dao secretly screamed badly, and immediately jumped up with both feet and did a backflip. As soon as he landed, the closure stabbed the Faceling's heart. The Faceling didn't dodge this time, and the peachwood sword stabbed deep into it, pointing out from the front. Feng Dao was overjoyed, but after a closer look, his nerves tensed again.
There was no blood flowing from the sword's stabbing place, and the faceling suddenly turned in place, and the peachwood sword snapped into two pieces with a click.
Feng Dao saw a cold light go straight to his eyes, and he lowered his head suddenly, and the bun on his head had been widely scattered. The Sealing Commander had never been so embarrassed, but at this time he was not out of danger, and he couldn't manage much, so he made a move to drill the crotch of the black dog, followed by a forward roll, which was temporarily away from the Faceling's attack range.
Instead of continuing the pursuit, the Facelings kicked open the door to the master's house.
Feng Dao saw the Facelings enter the house and yelled that it was not good. But the way of sealing the way is far inferior to the faceless man. The Facelings approached the house, and the owner of the village lay on the bed.
At this time, Feng Dao immediately sat down cross-legged, his hands were interlocked, and he recited the exorcism spell in his mouth. At this time, the gossip on the wall of the house also moved. He is going to use the gossip with a spell to fend off the Facelings.
As soon as the Faceling approached the bed, the gossip on the wall emitted a blue light and spun rapidly. The blue light quickly gathered in the center of the gossip, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck out from the hexagram, heading straight for the faceless man. The Facelings were too late to dodge, and the lightning struck him directly on his bare head, scorching his clothes.
Seeing that the blow was successful, Feng Dao immediately ran into the house, first to see that the old village owner was safe and sound, and then to see that the faceling's clothes were charred. As soon as Feng Dao took two steps forward, the Faceling danced with both hands, grabbing the gossip on the wall with one hand and Feng Dao's chest with the other. With a click, the gossip had been shattered by the fingers.
Feng Daoxin said: This is over, and you will definitely die. Then he closed his eyes and waited for death.
At this moment, there was a loud bang when the sky suddenly cracked, and the entire roof was lifted off. The sealing road was caught by the faceless man, and he was about to return to the western sky, when suddenly there was a loud bang, and the roof was immediately lifted.
Feng Dao looked at people, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The man was in his thirties, with short hair and a light beard, a tall and handsome figure, and was wearing rather tight clothes, covered in black, presumably to facilitate nocturnal movement. This person is carrying a bamboo tube behind him, and he looks very neat.
The Faceless Man noticed that someone had descended from the sky, and suddenly felt a strong aura pressing down on him from above. The Faceling struck the Sealed Dao out with a single palm, and spun around in place to avoid the True Qi.
With a bang, a pit was knocked out of the ground where the Facelings had been standing. The Faceling, sensing that the man who had come this time was far superior to the Sealed Path, shook his body and pulled out a whip from his back, which looked like it was made of snakeskin, with a number of sharp barbs on it.
The young man in the house had already fallen into the house at this time, and he motioned with his eyes to seal the road and rescue the old village owner first. Closed the road, picked up the old village owner, flew out of the window and fled. The Faceling brandished the snake whip to stop it, but the young man's right hand slammed out, and the whip seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and it was quite difficult to pull it back.
It turned out that this young god did not have any weapons on his body, but only used his internal force to control the true qi to transform into invisible, although he had no weapon in his hand, he used his true qi to transform into weapons of any shape, but the naked eye could not see the ins and outs of this true qi at all.
The Faceling's snake whip is blocked at every turn, as if in an invisible cage.
Suddenly, the young man's hands intertwined, and then the effects separated, and the faceling's snake whip was snatched away by a force of great force. Then the young man's fingers were sometimes bent and sometimes straightened, and the serpent's whip flew in the air on its own, as if the serpent had come to life again, and struck at the faceless man.
The Faceling, though extremely fast, was enclosed in an invisible cage that bounced back every time he tried to break it. After a while, there were seven or eight moral whip marks on his originally slick head. The Facelings had no choice but to roll on the ground with their heads in their hands, but they seemed to have fallen into a large tank of water, and could only sway slightly from side to side.
The young man who came was named Xiao Xiong, and he was a well-known figure in the five villages.
At the beginning of Wuzhai hundreds of years ago, although most of the demons had been locked in Nirvana Mountain, there were still a small number of monsters who did not come out to harm the villagers. Since the monsters have learned the power of the five living Buddhas, they have not dared to clash with them head-on. Often using surprise attacks and winning by many, it doesn't seem particularly difficult for a single living Buddha to deal with in the eyes of the demons, but if they join forces, it must be a nightmare for the demons.
Since the five villages are not fully connected, messengers are often needed to deliver messages back and forth. The demons often take advantage of this and kill the couriers in the middle of the way, so in each battle, most of the couriers are gone and never returned. Later, being a messenger was almost a death sentence, the so-called nine deaths. Due to the lack of information between the five villages, it often leads to a major loss of a village, and the lone living Buddha is often ambushed and injured by demons.
Later, in response to this problem, the Wuzhai gathered to hold a meeting to discuss, and decided to select the best young people in the village to be trained, so that they have the ability to get rid of the pursuit of demons, so that they can contact the information between Wuzhai in time during wartime.
In the end, Wuzhai elected a young man surnamed Xiao, and this young man Xiao was Xiao Xiong's ancestor. At first, the five living Buddhas were just given to this young man how to get rid of the demons, as the saying goes, how to escape. This young man is really clever, and he uses the ability to escape superbly, and he can deliver the letter safely and timely every time.
The path of communication is unblocked, so that the demons can no longer make waves. As a result, this young man Xiao also became a hero in the village, and the village respectfully called him the Xinyou boy. In this way, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and Xiao Xiong is already the tenth generation of Xinyou boys.
At first, the Xinyou boy was just to deliver letters during the war, and later there was any urgent matter in the village, and the matter of resource allocation needed the Xinyou boy to take action in order to hurry, and the Xinyou boy was able to successfully complete the task every time.
It is precisely because of the frequent shuttle between the five villages, the letter and the five living Buddhas are quite familiar, because of the surname Xiao is a vein of the temperament of the lovely, come and go and gradually learn more skills from each living Buddha. From the initial will only escape, gradually from defense to attack, are a small success, more powerful things, Xinyou boy from the five village to learn skills, set the five living Buddha growth, although each time to learn not a lot, but with the accumulation of hundreds of years, coupled with the integration of the five living Buddha skills, the letter of the boy from generation to generation have attached great importance to this, every bit of ability has been recorded from generation to generation, so to Xiao Xiong's generation, its skills are not under the five living Buddhas.
With the development of science and technology, there is also a telephone in the village, and the Xinyou boy has a lot less work, Xiao Xiong used this leisure time to sort out the subtlety of various kung fu handed down by his ancestors, and finally created a set of unique knowledge of meeting the enemy with qi, so that the eyes can not see, everywhere has his own hands, everything in his hands can be turned into weapons of advanced qigong, he himself called "the unity of qi and instrument".
It's a pity that there have been no demons in the village for many years, and there are few evildoers, and Xiao Xiong's full skills can't be used. Recently, I learned that Nirvana Mountain, which had been silent for a hundred years, suddenly moved, so I intended to try my skills. He heard that the owner of the village had been seriously injured, so he came to visit the village. As a letter boy, the letter handed down by his ancestors must be on his body, although it has no use value now, but it is still retained as a symbol and reverence for his ancestors.
In fact, Xiao Xiong got up early in the morning, but he encountered a little trouble on the road. The boy was in a hurry, when suddenly the trees in front of him merged together to form a thick wall.
Xiao Xiong froze and looked around. Suddenly, this tree wall slapped towards him quickly, Xiao Xiong did not dodge, but luck on the spot, hit out with both palms, and there was a loud bang, and a great force seemed to hit the tree wall with a sledgehammer weighing several tons, and in an instant, the trunk of the tree was shattered, and the leaves flew all over the sky.
At this time, a white figure jumped out from behind the tree wall, and Xiao Xiong took a closer look, this thing was covered in snow-white hair, and it looked like an ape. This is the "Jungle White Ape" in the same vein as Voldemort, and it is also one of the Ten Demons. This white ape is strong and powerful, and can control all the plants around it, and the tree wall just now is the work of its strange power.
Seeing that the tree wall was easily destroyed, the jungle white ape danced with his arms, and all the trunks of the trees around him were uprooted, and dozens of tree roots smashed towards Xiao Xiong together. Xiao Xiong saw that the other party was fierce, so he had to dodge, flew backwards, and dozens of big trees poked heavily on the ground. Xiao Xiong immediately used his hands to luck, at this time, the thin branches and leaves scattered in the air suddenly stood still, it turned out that they had been controlled by the true qi in Xiao Xiong's hands, he looked at the place where the white ape was, and his ten fingers exerted a slight force, and hundreds of stumps and leaves stabbed at the jungle white ape like flying knives.
The white ape obviously didn't expect the opponent to survive under this blow, and because the flying knife made of this branch and leaf was really fast, the white ape suddenly screamed, and then saw that the white ape had become a red ape, and his huge body slowly fell to the ground.
Xiao Xiong saw that his opponent was dead, and felt that the situation of the old village owner must be not good, so he hurried to the village. When the Xinyou boy came to the scene, he saw that Feng Dao was about to die, so he didn't care much, and luck lifted the roof to save Feng Dao.
At this time, this faceless man has no way to go to heaven and no door to enter the earth. Xiao Xiong couldn't help but feel angry when he saw the tragic situation of dozens of people in the courtyard being gouged out. Immediately, the teapot and bowl on the table were smashed, and the random ones with similar facial features were randomly pricked on the smooth head. The faceless man, his body twisted violently, and it was clear that he could also feel the pain.
This faceless man is actually known as the "Faceless Demon", and is one of the ten demons like Voldemort, the Jungle White Ape, the Blood Flower Golden Toad, and the Phantom Demon Rabbit.
Legend has it that this faceless demon was originally a human, but his face was extremely ugly, and his facial features were all strange. Later, he had to ask for a blind wife, but on the wedding night the blind woman only touched the groom's facial features with her hand and fled, and the groom was furious and chased after her, killed her, and himself went into a madness, cut off his facial features with a knife, and then hanged himself. Later, he became the faceless man who fell into the devil's path. Now that he meets Xiao Xiong, the first master of Wuzhai, he will eventually end up being tortured and dying a tragic death.
Just as the faceless man was about to die, the wind outside the house became even stronger, and the sand and gravel inside the house were already gone. Suddenly, Xiao Xiong felt that his feet did not obey, and the loose sand and gravel seemed to suddenly become as hard as steel, and he firmly fixed himself on the ground.
I saw that the sand and gravel on the side gradually gathered together, and gradually formed a human figure.
