Chapter 21: The Tribulation

With the child's exclamation, everyone looked to the place where he was pointing, and saw that on the canopy of a tree not far away, there was a long strand of black hair hanging messily, judging from the length, it was the hair of the village chief's daughter-in-law, and somehow it was actually hanging on the canopy.

This scared everyone into a gasp, the village chief's daughter-in-law had a blood bead on her head last night, and now she actually saw her lost hair, no need to ask, this must be the thing that took her hair last night.

Being able to leave their hair on the canopy of the tree is obviously either a ghost or an immortal family, and their small village is close to the mountain range, and nine out of ten is a certain creature in the mountain that has cultivated and possessed the body of the village chief's daughter-in-law.

Those who live in the countryside know that there are five immortal families among the people, fox, yellow, white, willow, and gray. The fox is the fox, the yellow is the weasel, the white is the hedgehog, the willow is the snake, and the gray is the mouse.

These five creatures are said to have some kind of spiritual surname, the easiest to cultivate, generally speaking, Huang Xian'er and Fox Xian'er will not have any malice towards humans, and in some places it is even said that these cultivated people are often attached to the body of a certain god Han, let the god Han be his spokesperson, for human beings to eliminate diseases and disasters, exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, and do all the work done by mages, how can they suddenly harm people?

Although everyone is a little hairy in their hearts, since things have come to this point, I just hope that they will not make trouble for themselves after accepting the tribute, otherwise I am afraid that it will be useless to move.

"Did you see that? They can't meet their conditions! Otherwise, maybe they will ask us something in the future. It's better to ask a master to show you what is causing trouble, and it is best to get rid of them, even if you can't, let them know that we humans are not easy to mess with, so as to prevent similar things from happening in the future. ”

Seeing this scene, the butcher couldn't help but preach, from the very beginning he did not approve of the sacrifice of the things attached to the village chief's daughter-in-law, thinking that those things are harmful, and if you give the sacrifice, he thinks that you are weak and can be bullied, and is likely to intensify the demand for more excessive things.

"This didn't happen to you, of course you're not afraid, but you can't gamble with everyone's last name because you're alone, you don't have to say any more, if you don't want to follow and go back, otherwise shut up for me. ,”

An elderly man in the village glared at the butcher and urged everyone to hurry up, don't miss the time given by that thing, once it makes it unhappy, it is estimated that someone will be unlucky!

"Uncle Lin, you are an elder, I can't say anything, I won't go anyway, whoever you like to go, I'll go home and sleep."

The butcher stared at the bull's eye, flicked his sleeves and went back to the village, thinking that what he insisted on was right, and these people were simply unreasonable.

Ding Qiang was actually muttering in his heart, that thing can pull out people's hair without a single left, and it also bites people and drinks blood, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good class, but at that time he was just a child, this kind of thought just flashed in his heart, and he still followed the noisy villagers into the mountain with great interest.

Not far behind their village is the path into the mountain, and there is a valley about seven or eight miles after entering the mountain, and there is a very large tomb in the valley, which I don't know what age it left behind.

According to an old man who is the oldest in the village and knows the most things, this tomb has existed since his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather was a child, and the rural people have no specific concept of what the specific age is, and the most abstract concept is that this tomb is probably older than the age of Bao Heizi's Yin Division.

At that time, there were often some strange things in the mountains, the old people generally did not let children follow into the mountains, Ding Qiang was stopped by the adults when he came to the front of the valley, it was okay here, but don't go into the valley, otherwise if the child is unscrupulous and says something that should not be said, angering those immortals, the consequences can be big or small.

But you can also see the huge tomb from the mountain road, because it is too conspicuous, I really don't know how this tomb was preserved in the year of famine, according to the environment at that time, people were so hungry that their eyes were green, and they dared to eat anything, so why didn't anyone dig such a big old tomb?

Xiaoqiang's explanation is that the big tomb is not simple, according to the adults, there is a fairy family living in it, as for what it is, it is unknown, some people say that it is Liu Xian who lives, and some people say that Huang Xian'er lives, and it is inconsistent.

But there is a common understanding, that is, there must be something living in this old grave, and it must not be moved, otherwise it will be difficult. The neighboring villages also knew about this grave, but no one dared to attack it.

The scene was very grand, those adults carried three animals and three birds to the huge grave, put down the incense case, I don't know if people need it, anyway, paper money candles burned a lot.

However, they did not dare to stay here for long, and after putting their things in order, they came back in droves.

Things seem to have passed like this, and nothing too strange has happened for many days since then, and everyone has gradually slackened, only the village chief's daughter-in-law, which is an eternal pain.

Think about it, a woman who is a charming young woman, who was originally envious of others' black hair, turned into a scar overnight, without a single hair, and she can't stand it on anyone.

However, one night a month later, the entire Houshan was miserable, lightning and thunder, as if the scene of the birth of a thousand-year-old demon, everyone in the village was so frightened that they hid in the quilt and did not dare to show their heads.

The lightning lasted all night, and all the electrical appliances in the village completely failed, and the direct economic losses caused by that time were tens of thousands.

Early the next morning, some brave people went into the mountains in groups of three or five to check what was going on, this kind of thing of thundering and not raining had been done before, but it was never said that thunder could hit overnight, and from the beginning of the sporadic and dull thunder, to the end the thunder was almost indistinguishable, one after another, this scene absolutely violated the laws of nature.

The old people said that this is the thing in the mountain that has become a fine, to cross the catastrophe, if it succeeds, it will soar in vain, and since then it has truly become an immortal, and if it fails, its soul will be scattered, and hundreds of years of Taoism will come to naught.

These are just legends, and no one has ever really seen what the so-called animal spirits are like.

However, when Ding Qiang entered the mountain together, the sight he saw almost scared him, standing on the mountain belt and looking down the valley, he could see a giant snake about four or five zhang long, the thickness of a bucket, hanging on the canopy, obviously dead.

I had only seen the scene of the animal transformation on TV before, but I didn't expect to see it today, this giant snake was covered with wounds all over its body, and the wound at seven inches was as if a giant had chopped it with an axe, and almost cut off its head.

Standing on it and watching it for a while, everyone talked about it, saying that it must have been this giant snake last night, otherwise it would not have been able to thunder all night, and it was still hacked to death here.

It's hard to say whether others believe it or not, anyway, when Ding Qiang talked about this, we all shook our heads like rattles, and it was hard to believe that such a thing would happen.

"If you don't believe it, I don't want to talk about it, the things that follow are even weirder, you will never guess."

Ding Qiang couldn't help but be annoyed and angry when he saw that we were all in disbelief, took a sip of the wine glass, took Liqun in front of me, smoked a point, and stopped talking.

"You kid did it on purpose, didn't you? Hang your appetite at a critical moment, believe it or not, I cut you? What happened to this? Is it this snake that is attached to the village chief's daughter-in-law? What's the other thing? Who lost the village chief's daughter-in-law's hair? ”

Lao Li saw that Ding Qiang said half of it, but when it was time to reveal the answer, he didn't say it, and raised his hand to slap him, he was more curious than me, and he always wanted to end the channel.

In fact, I was also brought in, especially when it came to the village chief's daughter-in-law's head with blood beads, I unconsciously felt chills all over my body, that kind of scene, I feel terrible when I think about it, it is definitely not something that can be done by manpower.

"Huh, want to hear it? Apologize to me and say you believed it, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. "Ding Qiang was a little angry, we didn't believe his words just now, and he could tie a donkey with a pouting mouth.

It's not that we don't believe his story, but what he said is so mysterious that even such a thing as the catastrophe has come out, what era is it now? How could something like this happen? And the so-called catastrophe, I personally think that it is still a natural phenomenon, and it is impossible for animals to become sperm.

"You're a big kid, aren't you? Okay, we all believe it, even if you say that your rooster lays eggs, and it lays triangular eggs, we all believe it, so you can say it quickly. ”

Lao Yang also lit a cigarette and urged him with a smile, generally speaking, as long as he didn't tell his own story, no matter how strong the sense of substitution was, it was useless, at most he felt a little scared, but it wouldn't resonate too much.

Especially what Xiaoqiang said, it really brought everyone in at the beginning, but when it comes to snake spirit tribulation, it is a bit unreliable.

"Do you remember a photo that came out on the Internet? It was the picture of the giant snake being hacked to death, and it was hyped up at the time, and the one we had there was much bigger than the one in the photo, covering a canopy. ”

Ding Qiang was honest after being said, so he went on, in fact, there was not much, everyone ran down the valley, and found the flower pants worn by the village chief's daughter-in-law under the tree where the giant snake died, proving that the one who wanted three animals and three birds later was this snake, and at that time he had a premonition that he was about to cross the catastrophe, in order to avoid the catastrophe, he used three animals and three birds to sacrifice to the sky, hoping to open the net.

In addition, the flower pants are used to avoid the catastrophe, and it is said that the god of thunder is most afraid of dirty things, and if there is a dirty thing on his head during the catastrophe, it is easy to avoid the catastrophe.

Animal cultivation itself is not easy, and it belongs to an alien species, the Heavenly Tribulation is a death tribulation for them, even if they are so well prepared, they still fail to succeed and are hacked to death on a tree.

And the one who took the hair of the village chief's daughter-in-law has never been missing, and no one knows what kind of fairy family it is, until two years later, someone entered the mountain and found a girl with long hair and waist, who called herself Huang Li'er.

That person is also smart, until it is impossible to meet any serious children in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no family surnamed Huang in this vicinity, plus she is more familiar with her black hair, and the person was almost certain at that time, this is the encounter with Huang Xian'er.

However, Huang Xian'er didn't seem to mean to embarrass him, just asked him to come back and tell the village chief's family, this is karma, but after all, he has taken advantage of others, and he will bless the village chief's family with a long life, and let them worship themselves as the family protectors.
