"Mei'er, you're finally back! What do you think? Did you catch it? ”

I held up the branch, jumped down from an ancient tree branch, and saw a white shadow flashing, no need to ask, it must be Mei'er back, for three days, Mei'er was doing one thing in Lei Gong Mountain, that is, to help me catch a Xiao ghost, the so-called Xiao ghost, in fact, is another name for Xiao Mei, once encountered in the land temple of Huilong Valley for thousands of years, many of which are infested with mandrills, its shape is like a monkey but not a monkey, thin body, dark body hair, and green face, small belly is white, and there is a small tail five or six inches long hanging on the buttocks, This is the form of Xiao ghosts, although I encountered a lot of them last time, but they all took the initiative to appear, and at this moment, it is not easy to catch them......

Speaking of the squatting to catch the ghost, I don't know how much time I have been aggrieved, I have heard that Miao Jiang is a place where witches flourish, who expected that after I completed most of the task, only the last "customer" has not been sent back to his hometown, for no other reason, the hometown of this last "customer" is in the southeast boundary of Leishan County, Qiligou, and where I am at the moment, there is still some distance from Qiligou, and I have to pass through at least three or four Miao family villages on the way, but in this Wumanggou, but a big heel has been planted.

Miao Gu raising is prevalent, many seemingly ordinary Miao villages, there is no lack of Gu raising masters, Gu raising is one of the witch Gu methods, Miao people have a goddess, sacrifice, worship God, raise Gu, see a doctor, fortune telling, etc., the prestige in the village is very high, even the most authoritative patriarch, you have to be afraid of one person, that is, the god woman in the village, the Gu people.

Gu raising masters don't need to get close, in some cases, it is more convenient than my Maoshan technique, far away, just muttering a few words, you can put Gu on the other party, I, obviously, I have been tricked......

As soon as I entered the boundary of Wumanggou, I was ruthlessly beaten by a little-known old woman, the locals just called this old woman Gu Pozi, maybe because she was skinny, I don't know, in short, she put a very strange Gu on me, once her feet touched the ground, starting from the toes, until the ankles and legs, gradually began to turn blue and green, as if the grass was going to grow, the only way to curb the attack of Gu poison was not to stay on the ground for a long time, so I stayed in the tree for almost two days and three nights...... Why does the bone woman want to play Gu on me? Ghost knows...... Why didn't she let me pass by? Ghost knows...... I only know one, the bone woman limited me to help her catch a ghost within seven days, and send it to her alive, this is the only condition for me to detoxify the Gu poison, I am strange, how does she know that I will definitely be able to catch a ghost within seven days?

Xiao ghost, in the legend of the hunter household who lives in the mountains, Xiao ghost is called "Luo Guozi", probably imagining Xiao ghost as the Tuxing grandson who carries the pot......

To rush to Qiligou to complete the last task, you must pass through the Wumang ditch in front of you, otherwise I will have to make another detour, but if you take a long way, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, calculate that I rushed all the way to Miaojiang Holy Land Leishan County, it has taken nearly six months, I still remember last year to support the work of driving corpses alone, at that time, Zhang Zhenren feathered up to the immortals, still like yesterday, the memory is still fresh.

Another year has increased, and my troubles have increased a lot, but the practice alone has made me puzzled, and I am still standing still.

Mei'er smiled happily and put her hands behind her back, and said with a grin: "Master, do you think I caught it?" ”

I frowned when I heard this, looked down at the green spots that were about to rise on the soles of my feet, pretended to be unhappy, turned my face, and said, "Anyway, I have already lost all my face in front of you now, and a Gu cultivator will leave me on the tree without making a sound, what qualifications do I have to be your master and practice what Maoshan technique!" ”

After saying that, I smiled secretly and secretly glanced at Mei'er.

Not only did Mei'er not get angry, but she also secretly grimaced at me, and handed me a "squeaky" little thing with a smile: "Master, this little thing has been banned by my spell, and I don't want to move without me lifting the ban!" ”

I hurriedly turned my head to look at this little thing that was "squeaking" and screaming, it was exactly the same as the ghost I saw in the Land Temple, it was exactly what I wanted, and I smiled at what Mei'er said: "Now we will go to meet the old bone woman, I hope there will be salvation this time." ”

Mei'er's voice suddenly became cold: "If we had noticed it earlier, we wouldn't have let that old witch have a chance, in fact, you cultivators also dabble in the way of witchcraft, don't the master himself have a way to save him?" ”

I thought about it, and then shook my head: "There is indeed a witchcraft in Maoshan Technique, but the master only mentions it, but never teaches its method, but I heard that there was a disciple who secretly learned witchcraft in the past, and then used it to harm people and collect money, and was expelled from the master's door, so about the way of witchcraft, if you are not a person with a virtuous and benevolent heart, it must be difficult to involve this kind of magic." ”

Mei'er said coldly: "Then she can't do whatever she wants!" Dare to take an inch in front of her master, I will definitely want her to repay it with broken bones! ”

I glanced left and right, and immediately whispered: "We are here for the first time, we are not familiar with the place, the so-called mountain is higher than the other, we should not be too ostentatious." ”

Mei'er thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and her figure flashed, and instantly disappeared into the small cloth bag.

I glanced up at the crooked crescent moon, then glanced at the surrounding grass and trees, and continued to bury my head in the road, Lei Gong Mountain is not far from Wumanggou, but it is also dozens of miles away, as for the Gu poison in my body, it will only gradually spread in a short period of time, the name of this Gu is "Heart Devouring Gu", like a plant Gu, once my feet touch the ground, I will absorb the qi of the leylines, so that it will continue to breed in the body, starting in the feet, and then rising continuously, until the heart part, as long as I reach the heart position, then I will not be saved.

If I can't solve the Gu within seven days, it will also be a death, so I can be regarded as having a relationship with that mysterious bone woman.

"Hey~~~~"

"Sister, that yo~~~ I want you to be upset, half a bowl of rice is difficult to eat, eating is like swallowing sand, eating wine and meat is like eating salt~~~"

“…………”

"Ah Mei, that yo~~~ I want you to come to my heart more, I can't eat tea and eat, eating is like swallowing sand, eating wine and meat is like taking medicine~~~"

“…………”

"Sister, that yo~~~ When to sit with your family, I am happy to soak in cold water. When to sit with your family, I will be happy to soak in cold water and rice~~~"

A tactful and melodious ballad suddenly echoed endlessly between the mountains, and the song seemed to reveal a trace of poignant, a trace of unwillingness, a trace of sadness, and a trace of helplessness......

I slowly stopped, grinning at the empty mountains, this is already after I came here, three consecutive days of night, in the dead of night, the song sung, this song is sung without a head, will not stop until dawn, at the beginning I still don't understand, but I listen to a lot, I probably understand a little, the person who sings this song, like a young man struggling in love, to another place in the mountains, telling his heart, presumably another place in the mountains, there is a girl living in the right place.

It's just that this young man who sings mountain songs, why does he keep singing like this without confessing directly? Since the third watch can shout loudly in the middle of the night to disturb the peace of the people, he must not be afraid of people knowing, since he is not afraid, why not go directly to the girl in his mind?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure out the wedding customs and scenery here, I have to smile bitterly and walk into Wumanggou - most of the villages in this ditch village are scattered, and there are many groups living together, just like the villages in other places, when I came to hear the locals say, scattered are mostly mature seedlings, and gathered in piles and rarely seen are raw seedlings, the so-called mature seedlings, although they wear Miao clothes, speak the language of the Miao people, but the way of thinking and living habits are not much different from the Han people, the seedlings are different, they generally live in the depths of the mountains, less contact with the Han people, I don't know much about the language of the Han people, but I still continue the living habits of the Miao people, and it can also be said that I am closer to the primitive Miao people.

Most of the mystery of the Miao people comes from raising Gu people, that is, the art of witchcraft, in fact, the art of witchcraft is more to save people from danger, the reason why the goddesses in the Miao village are admired by the locals is that they have a compassionate heart, of course, there is good and evil everywhere.

As for the bone mother-in-law...... It is a resident of the diaspora, although she is scattered, but she rarely communicates with people, even the neighbors around, it is difficult to see her a few times throughout the year, most days, she is alone in the house, I don't know what she is doing, of course, no one dares to approach her door, just because she is a goddess with a strange personality.

These things are all a neighbor of the Gu Pozi, the middle-aged man surnamed Li told me, the middle-aged man is a couple with a son and a half, and has lived here for more than ten years, when I said this, I had already been poisoned by Gu at the time, and it happened that Brother Li went out hunting and saw me, so that I saw some of the mysteries of Gu people, and he also said that few people under the Gu Pozi can solve it, but there are people who are poisoned by Gu to find her, but as long as she is willing to help, there is nothing that cannot be solved, so the people here are respectful and afraid of her!

Came to the courtyard of the bone mother-in-law, the courtyard door was not locked, I opened it with a light push, inexplicably fell into the Gu, I now look at the small courtyard of the bone mother-in-law, it seems to be a little indescribably terrifying, in the dim light, I saw the door of the bone mother-in-law at a glance, and strangely, her door is also open.

I was a little apprehensive in my heart, and even more uneasy, the mysterious and eccentric temperament of this bone woman is really incomprehensible, could it be that she has calculated that I am going to come to deal with it at this moment?

As I approached the door, a yellow kerosene lamp suddenly lit up in the room!
