Chapter 13: Miss Witch

A few days ago, on the banks of the Xiaoyao River, a group of people led by Sheng Tian cleaned up the mess on the bank. Shengtian, who was originally arrogant, looked at the few corpses floating on the river in the distance, and remembered that dozens of villagers on this bank were all killed overnight, and he felt very guilty in his heart.

As one of the Five Living Buddhas, Sheng Tian was never ready to be a leader. In terms of age, the first living Buddha of Bosa Village, the Jinguan Living Buddha of Yuanjue Village, and the Qinghui Living Buddha of Bodhi Zhai are all older than themselves, even if the first living Buddha recently passed away, and the Qinghui Living Buddha disappeared unexpectedly. Shengtian has also always pinned his hopes on Master Jinguan.

In terms of martial arts Buddhism, or popularity and prestige, Master Jinguan is above the holy heavens. It's a pity that Jin Guan was too honest, but he fell for the villain's trick and died under the poisonous knife of the old man. Shengtian originally wanted to turn the tide in danger, but the rising star Xuanxiu actually doubted himself and went to Nirvana Mountain alone. If Xuanxiu dies on the mountain, it may also be the result of his usual image being too cold.

Thinking of this, Sheng Tian sighed slightly. Thinking that the demon has been lurking for a hundred years, and now it just encounters the five demons and ten demons who take the lead, it seems a little powerless, so many innocent villagers have lost their lives, and they have no good way to deal with the crime, let alone a good way to protect the villagers from harm, and even the hiding place of the monster can not be determined.

Can you just stand here and be a target for youkai?

After taking care of the affairs on the shore, the group gathered to discuss the next step.

Shengtian's heart was extremely uneasy, so he let his nephew speak. As a veteran policeman, Lin Huan's judgment of the situation is quite calm.

Lin Huan said: "Today's plan is not to touch the details of the demons, and if you attack rashly, you will definitely fall into the trap of the demons." Now the demons do not dare to blatantly hurt the people in the village, it can be seen that they are still afraid of the majesty of the living Buddha, the best way is to gather the elite of each village, day and night to protect the safety of the villagers, and I decided to immediately report this situation to the relevant departments, hoping to obtain the support of the national masters. ”

Xiao Yan was the first to express her support, and she is now a staunch follower of Lin Huan. Shengtian naturally supported his nephew's idea. The first hunter, Li Shan, also witnessed the power of the demons, and instead of provoking them, it was better to recuperate and accumulate grass and food first.

So, Shengtian stayed on the shore and sat down. Li Shan is a native of Yuanjue Village, so he naturally returned to Yuanjue Village to deploy. And Lin Huan had to go back to the police station to report the situation, and Xiao Yan had to go with Lin Huan.

Everyone agreed to meet again on the banks of the Xiaoyao River in three days, and then they divided their troops to complete their mission.

As the first hunter, Li Shan put aside his martial arts and talked about running, which is definitely one of the best in Wuzhai. As soon as he collapsed, he went straight to the direction of Yuanjue Village, the speed was so fast that the wind was blowing in his ears, and the leaves on the side of the road were trembling slightly everywhere he passed. But it was such a nimble hunter who tripped over something and fell on his head.

Li Shan wondered in his heart, with his own eyesight, even the grasshoppers in the grass shell could see clearly, just now he obviously didn't find any residual stones and broken branches on the ground, why was it suddenly mixed. He looked back and saw that the ground was flat and there was nothing strange about it. I thought: This place should not stay for a long time, it is better to continue on the road.

So, Li Shan once again spread his feet and ran away.

After running for less than ten minutes, Li Shan suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were slipping, as if he had stepped on the watermelon skin, and suddenly lost his center of gravity and came to a dog to gnaw on the mud. He looked back sharply, and the road was still empty, and when he stood up, there was nothing strange about the road under his feet.

Everything is normal, could it be that I have a cramp in my legs?

Li Shan believed that there would be no problems with his body, and seeing that there were no foreign objects on the road, he was afraid that he was being targeted by demons. He couldn't help but raise his vigilance, thinking: Next time, even if he falls, he has to get up and run immediately, and he can't afford to delay it.

Sure enough, he had two heels in the next half hour, but he just rolled over and continued to run, and everything else was not in his eyes. Seeing that the stockade was on the edge, Li Shan suddenly felt that his feet slipped and fell to the ground again. Just as he was about to turn over and stand up, he suddenly heard someone ask in his ear: "Little brother, where are you in such a hurry?"

Li Shan was shocked in his heart, and shook his eyes to see that the person of culture was an old woman of sixty or seventy years old, with wrinkles on her face, hunched over, and her upper body almost parallel to the ground.

He didn't know this person, and he had never seen this person, so he said, "I have something, I'll go first." ”

Unexpectedly, the old woman grabbed Li Shan's shirt and said slightly, "Have you seen my grandson?"

When Li Shan heard this, could it be that he lost his grandson? In this case, I have to help. Only then did he carefully look at the old woman in front of him. There was nothing particularly strange about the old woman's dress, except that her clothes looked a little shabby, but there was one thing that was really different, she was blind in one eye, and there were only white eyeballs in it.

Li Shan asked, "Why are you here with your grandson?" How old is your grandson?"

The old woman chirped and said slowly: "My grandson, he is about the same age as you, and he is also a hunter, and my grandson's name is Li Shan." ”

Li Shan listened to the second monk. The old woman looked Li Shan up and down with one eye, and suddenly said, "Aren't you my grandson?"

"You've mistaken someone."

"That's right, it's you, let grandma hug you!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward to report to Li Shan. Li Shan thought that the old man was mentally ill, so he wanted to get rid of her first, so he turned his head and wanted to run, but suddenly his feet slipped and he fell heavily to the ground.

The old woman hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and said, "The child doesn't listen to the adults and falls." ”

Li Shan was originally unwilling to be supported by this old woman, so he pulled down with his hands. Unexpectedly, this old woman's hand was like an eagle's claw clamping Li Shan's shoulder.

These withered old hands were so powerful that Li Shan felt as if there were several steel hooks embedded in his flesh. The heart is not good, this old woman must be an ordinary person.

This old woman is indeed not an ordinary person, she is one of the five demons and ten demons, as a human she lost her grandson, and then was expelled from the house by her daughter-in-law, freezing and starving to death. After death, he turned into a demon, known as the "mother-in-law of ten thousand people", and specifically targeted young men, pretending to think that he was a grandson, but in fact he wanted to kill the killer. She also has a trick, good at using the blind method, one of the eyes seems to be blind, but it is actually a "white eye" with witchcraft, Li Shan has repeatedly fallen down before this white-eyed demon trick.

Although Li Shan is the first Orion, he is an ordinary person who does not know martial arts and spells, and he has suffered a big loss in front of this old demon.

At this time, he was caught by the old demon and couldn't move for a while. This old demon has extraordinary strength in his hands, and Li Shan wants to get rid of it, but he is caught tighter and tighter.

The old woman smiled and said, "Good grandson, call grandma." Call grandma and let you go. ”

Although Li Shan was in pain to the bone marrow, how could a man be frightened by a monster. Then he said: "If you want to kill, kill it, don't talk so much nonsense!"

When the old woman heard this, her face immediately tightened, and her eyes showed a fierce light and said viciously: "I want to die, no, I'll play with you first." ”

As he spoke, he raised Li Shan high with one hand and threw it at a thick tree trunk. With a thud, Li slammed into the trunk of the tree and fell to the ground. At this time, Li Shan was dizzy, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he felt that he was banished on the ice, and he couldn't stand up anyway.

Although Li Shan was lying on the ground, he saw that the old demon was not far from him, so he opened his bow and aimed an arrow at the old demon! The arrow came quickly, and the old woman fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Shan was overjoyed, and crawled to the old woman, pulled out his waist knife and stabbed the old woman hard. The knife had fallen, but it didn't feel quite right, how did the old woman in front of her suddenly turn into a pile of weeds?

Suddenly, I heard the old woman behind her laugh and said, "Now you know that my white eyes are very good!"

The old woman said and kicked Li Shen in the back and kicked him straight out. The old woman came to the pile of weeds, stretched out her hand and pulled out the waist knife on it, and said, "Good grandson is very ruthless, I want to stab your grandmother to death, hey, it seems that I can't give you some blood." ”

As he spoke, he floated in front of Li Shan.

The old woman stared at Li Shan and said, "Look at my grandson's handsomeness, grandma is giving you a chance." Call your grandmother, how about not killing you today? Scream!"

Li Shan knew that he was far from being the opponent of this old demon, and he could not be humiliated, so he said: "I am your grandfather!"

When the old demon heard this, the flesh on his face jumped suddenly, and he said, "Good grandson, you brought this on yourself!" As he spoke, he raised his sword and slashed it.

At this time, a woman's silver bell-like laughter came from behind the big tree next to her, "Hey, if you die to save face, you will be able to change when you can change it!" The tone is sweet and the tone is playful. A graceful figure flashed out from behind the trunk, this girl was in her early twenties, dressed in a big red velvet coat, with a well-proportioned figure and elegant temperament, a big black and bright braid behind her hung down to her waist, her skin was fair, her face was sweet, quite like a Jiangnan woman, like a hibiscus out of the water, and she made a naughty grimace at Li Shan.

When Li Shan saw this woman, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "My aunt, you're here!"

Li Shan, the first hunter of Wuzhai, met the mother-in-law of 10,000 people, one of the five demons and ten demons, on the way back to Juezhai. Li Shan couldn't reach the 10,000-strong mother-in-law, and when her life was hanging by a thread, a woman in red suddenly flashed out from behind the tree, and the woman smiled and grimaced at Li Shan. Li Shan was overjoyed at first sight, knowing that the danger no longer existed.

The woman who came was Lin Huan's sister Lin Xi. Lin Xi was studying in college in another place, and when he learned about the recent events in the village on the phone, he couldn't help but finally ask for leave and returned to the village.

Lin Xi's personality has been somewhat masculine since he was a child, and he likes to play freely in Wuzhai. She is also very interested in hunting, and has a very high talent, since she was a child, she and Li Shan tried hunting together, and established a deep friendship, which evolved into a relationship when she grew up.

Lin Xi is not only the strongest huntress in Wuzhai, but also has this more important identity, which is Miss Witch in Wuzhai, commonly known as "Miss Wu".

Among the five villages, there are not only the five living Buddhas who are high above, but also the Taoist Taoist Taoist who practices healing. In addition, Wuzhai also has one of the most mysterious powers, which is witches.

The history of witches in the village is actually longer than that of the five living Buddhas, and it is not clear when exactly they began. But at first, the role of the witch was to communicate with the control of the beasts, so that the people of Wuzhai who lived by hunting could get enough prey every day and live a worry-free life.

Later, the role and influence of witches was further expanded, gradually expanding from dialogue with the gods to dialogue with ordinary villagers, and for thousands of years, witches controlled the ratio of male to female populations in the five villages. Whenever the harsh environment arrives, the witch seems to be able to sense through divination, so as to avoid disasters as much as possible. As a result, these five villages have become one of the oldest ancient villages in Qingcheng and even the whole country, and the witch has made great contributions.

Because witches existed before the formation of Wuzhai, even after the formation of Wuzhai later, there was only one witch lady. The next witch will also divinate the specific direction when the previous witch lady is fifty years old, and then select the best to be trained as an apprentice. Lin Xi was selected by the previous witch when she was in the third grade of primary school, and thus became the heir of Miss Wu in Wuzhai.

Lin Xi is gifted and intelligent, and the witch's study is not as step-by-step as the Five Living Buddhas, so she also has a lot of free time. Lin Xi quickly mastered most of the witchcraft with his own understanding, and often replaced the master to do some divination and sacrifice rituals in junior high school, until the death of the previous witch in high school, Lin Xi really became the "witch lady" in the five villages.

Witchcraft is different from Buddhism, witchcraft is both good and evil, and witchcraft is also involved in many places where Buddhism is not controlled. Not only that, but many people in the village who have incurable diseases are more willing to find Miss Wu for diagnosis, but they have robbed a lot of business.

Lin Xi learned two sets of witchcraft from his master, one was "Inspiration Witchcraft", which was used for sacrifice, divination, medical treatment, etc.; There is also a set of "shelter witchcraft", which is used to defend against all attacks from humans, beasts and demons.

The two sets of witchcraft are extremely magical, and when used at the same time, their power is by no means inferior to that of any of the five living Buddhas. Lin Xi was originally quite loved in the village, and later, as Miss Wu, she formed a respected and admired family with her uncle Shengtian and brother Lin Huan.

The mother-in-law didn't know Lin Xi, hesitated slightly, and then stabbed Li Shan with a knife.

Lin Xi immediately stopped laughing when he saw it, but he stood still and didn't move, put his hands behind his back, and said softly: "Wrap." ”

A big tree beside Li Shan seemed to be inspired by Lin Xi, the originally hard branches suddenly became as soft as rattans, and dozens of branches were like dozens of small snakes, instantly scurrying into the various gaps in the body of the 10,000-person mother-in-law, and then suddenly tense, and the whole process was only in the blink of an eye, and the 10,000-person mother-in-law had been entangled and hung high above the canopy.

The old demon didn't expect to meet such a strong person, and he kept struggling in mid-air, slashing at the branches wrapped around his body with the short knife in his hand. But when the old branches were cut down, the new branches were wrapped even more tightly until the ten thousand mothers-in-law could not move at all.

Lin Xi came to Li Shan with a smile and reached out to pull him up from the ground. Li Shan watched his sweetheart come, and couldn't help but feel more energetic. Lin Xi patted Li Shan's head and said, "Look at you idiot, you don't know how to turn until you die, and you have to have my sister to save you." ”

Saying that, Lin Xi saw the bow and arrow behind Li Shen and said, "You have a new bow and arrow, I haven't practiced for a long time, let me try it." ”

Li Shan said yes, and hurriedly took down the bow and arrow and handed it to Lin Xi. When Lin Xi received it, he immediately stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot violently at a tree trunk in front of him.

An arrow hit the trunk of the tree, and the trunk screamed out.

Li Shan looked back, what kind of tree trunk was it, it was actually a mother-in-law of ten thousand people, and this arrow hit the white eye of the old demon.

It turned out that the old demon had successfully dodged the attack of the vines by using a blinding trick before, and was hiding on the trunk of this tree waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack. But it never expected that Lin Xi had already seen through its white-eyed demon technique, so he pretended not to know, and easily put it to death in the name of practicing arrows. With the death of the old demon, the 10,000 mother-in-law who was entangled in the canopy instantly turned into a pile of dead grass.

When Li Shan saw it, he clapped his hands and applauded, and said, "It is worthy of my Miss Lin, everything can't be hidden from your clear and bright eyes." ”

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and tell me what happened in the village." ”
