Although it was night, the desolate scene in the village was still in full view, and the sounds of family members and children crying were constantly heard on both sides of the street.

In front of a dilapidated house at the east end of the village, Ma Shunhong stopped, and pointed to the house with the courtyard door slightly open and said: "Brother Chuqi, this is the home of Yang Banxian'er, he is now alone, although he knows a little about those doorways, he still can't take care of his livelihood, everyone is worried about food, he is also poor and white, no, the door is never too lazy to lock, let's go in directly." ”

I just don't think it's too appropriate to walk in without even saying hello, but Ma Shunhong has already walked into the house, I shrugged my shoulders, and I had to follow up,

Ma Shunhong glanced around, I also swept around, the two extremely simple houses have been dilapidated, it seems that they have not been repaired for a long time, the yard is also a mess, the west side against the wall is a well, but look at the well is surrounded by broken wood chips and dry leaves gathered together, it shows that the well has not been used for a long time, and it is just a place to put sundries,

On the east side against the wall was a low small stove house, next to the small stove house, a simple wooden shed, much like a cowshed, but at the moment it was already full of firewood.

The door of the hall was closed, Ma Shunhong walked quickly to the door, knocked on it, and shouted: "Sheep half fairy, sleep, it's me Shunhong, open the door, sheep half fairy." ”

knocked a few times and shouted a few times, but there was no movement in the room, Ma Shunhong turned his head to look, threw me a puzzled expression, and said: "He hasn't left the house for a month, why don't you squeak at this time, you won't sleep." ”

I smiled bitterly, just about to speak, suddenly heard a lazy voice from the side behind us, Ma Shunhong and I were startled at the same time, Qi Qi turned to look, only to see a figure slowly stood up from the cowshed, first patted off the dry grass branches on his body, and then said: "Shunhong, is there anything wrong at such a late hour." ”

Ma Shunhong stepped forward in astonishment, and I also stepped forward, only to see a lean middle-aged man slowly appear in front of him, his face was slightly pale, like an idler who had never done farm work, and there was a mustache on his chin.

"Why are you in the cowshed, what are you doing in the cowshed?" Ma Shunhong asked in surprise,

Yang Banxian glanced at me first, but just a glance, I already sensed the sharpness of his gaze, much stronger than the spirit of ordinary people, but not too strong, at least still below me,

Seeing me, Yang Banxian'er didn't say anything, but answered Ma Shunhong's words, but when he spoke, he was distressed: "Alas, don't mention it, Shunhong, I only want to talk to you, don't spread it, and this little brother, it's a shame to say it,,。 ”

It's ridiculous, it turns out that Yang Ban Xian'er did help Hong Gengqing's family send the buffalo essence, but he didn't send it away, not only that, the buffalo spirit actually followed the Yang Ban Xian'er home,

Yang Banxian'er pointed to the small stove house and complained: "At first, I didn't know, that is, one day, I scooped a scoop of water on the stove the night before, ready to drink, but just happened to have something to go out, and when I came back, I forgot about it, who knew that the next day, I saw that there was not a drop of water in the scoop, alas." ”

The next day he deliberately put a bowl of water on the stove, but when he got up the next day, he saw that there was not a drop left, not at all, not only that, but even the water tank with the lid closed, there was not a drop of water left,,,

Alpaca village continues to have a great drought, water is an extremely precious resource here, the only one large point of water source, according to the direction pointed by the sheep half fairy, I estimate that it should be the very small stream on the hill, said to be very small, almost in the gap between the rocks,

There is also a smaller water source, at the foot of the southwest mountain, and now dozens of families in the alpaca village have moved there to live, which is also a helpless thing, as for why they don't move to the side of the hill here, there is no other reason, but this side of the hill often has boars out, and no one dares to move there casually,

The water in the water tank has been cleaned up to a drop left, this time the sheep half fairy is a little frightened, another day, he spent almost half of the day running up and down the hills, hard work and poured a small half tank of water, this time, the sheep half fairy made up his mind, the big deal is not to sleep all night, and you must see with your own eyes who stole their own water,

As a result, he waited all night, at the fifth watch, Yang Ban Xian'er estimated that there was no problem this time, but he was just about to turn around and go to sleep, when he suddenly heard a cow cry from the small stove house, followed by the sound of the cow drinking, which scared Yang Ban Xian'er half of his body, and he finally knew that the buffalo spirit not only did not send it away, but also led it to his own house.

I think the ridiculous place is here, the sheep half-fairy is called the half-fairy, but a buffalo spirit comes and goes freely in his house like a shopping street, it seems that this sheep half-fairy has a lot of water, even Mr. Wu Da of Eighteen Mile Village, he will not do such a half-hung thing, hey,

Ma Shunhong didn't seem to understand, and asked again: "Then what does ,,, have to do with you sleeping in the cowshed?" ”

When Yang Banxian heard this, he lowered his head and stroked his beard with some embarrassment, and then sighed lightly: "Now that the main house is occupied by it, I have to settle in the cowshed, what can I do, alas." ”

Ma Shunhong and I couldn't help but smile bitterly when we heard this, the funny thing is that the cows occupy the people's nest, but the people go to sleep in the cowshed, what kind of thing is this,,,

After Ma Shunhong smiled bitterly, he hurriedly introduced my identity and name to Yang Ban Xian'er, just when he heard the word "Maoshan", before Ma Shunhong continued, Yang Ban Xian'er suddenly looked at me with wide eyes, and in a situation where he grabbed my hand, I was shocked, and almost instinctively kicked out, but fortunately I saw Yang Ban Xian'er's excited look in time, and I couldn't help but withdraw my foot,

Yang Banxian'er almost cried out with excitement, grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously, and said eagerly: "Maoshan is famous all over the world, my sheep thousand people can be regarded as seeing real people today, the first seven brothers,,, oh no, the first seven Dao chief, I, I, I Yang Qianren are really fortunate to see you now, by the way, have you eaten now, where do you live, if you have no place to live, you might as well live here, I have a lot of ,,。 ”

Without waiting for Yang Banxian'er to finish speaking, Ma Shunhong pulled his hand away at the right time, and said: "The seventh brother of the beginning is ready to stay in my house, and our family also has food, look at you, can you still live here, you can't let the seventh brother live in your cowshed." ”

Obviously, after the aggrieved narrative of the sheep and half fairies, Ma Shunhong has already questioned the title of the sheep and the thousand people of the half-fairy, and it seems that after seeing the sheep and the half fairy's respect for my Maoshan Mountain, he also defended me more, I smiled and said: "Brother Ma, sheep Daoyou, or let's find a place to talk and talk about this matter, I also want to think of a solution to this matter." ”

Yang Banxian'er suddenly opened the door of the hall with a smile, and said respectfully: "Come into the house and say come into the house, hehe." ”

Ma Shunhong joked with Yang Banxian at the right time: "You are not afraid of the buffalo spirit at this time." ”

Yang Banxian'er was shocked, and joked with Ma Shunhong: "There is the head of the first seven roads of the Maoshan faction here, I'm afraid of a fart." ”

I was speechless, smiled bitterly and shook my head into the hall, but I didn't know that my cultivation was only half a bucket of water, although after these days of tempering, the use of Taoism and Taoism has made slight progress, but the cultivation is still slightly insufficient, compared to his fellow sect brother Shangguan Jin, I estimate that there is still a little distance, of course, this distance is immeasurable for the time being,

Lighting the oil lamp, the three of us all sat down around the oil lamp, and I immediately asked, "Yang Daoyou, can you tell me why the buffalo essence failed and what the reason is?" ”

Yang Banxian immediately recalled for a moment, and then said hurriedly: "I remember that it was midnight,,。 ”

I immediately interrupted and said with a smile: "Sheep Daoyou, the buffalo essence is the five elements of water, and it is more appropriate to refer to the time and noon of the five elements in the time of the Dharma. ”

"Yes, yes." Yang Banxian'er patted his head and said embarrassedly: "I just follow the ordinary number of techniques, and the aura of the child is the most abundant when I choose ,,,the child, alas, thank you for the first seven long mention." ”

I immediately blushed, waved my hand and smiled: "It's enough for Yang Daoyou to call me by my name, but I don't dare to take the reputation of the Taoist chief." ”

Yang Banxian'er was also free and easy, and immediately corrected: "Yes, yes, then my big brother is no longer visible, the seventh brother of the first year, at the beginning of the practice, it was also calm, but I remember clearly, in the middle of the ceremony, suddenly out of nowhere a yin wind and evil qi blew, almost blowing up my altar, fortunately, my concentration was okay, and I barely persevered until the completion of the ceremony, but with the scene at the time, I really couldn't judge whether the buffalo spirit was sent away, and now it seems that ,,, alas, it fell short." ”

"Oh." I was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yin Feng evil qi, how can this be, in addition to the buffalo essence, there are other immortal cultivation animals here, but is there ,,, other dirty thing in the Yin Wind can't do it, and, according to the situation you described, if there is really something else, then that dirty thing has some climate." ”

Since there is something else preventing the sheep and half fairies from sending away the buffalo essence, what is its intention, and also, the continuous drought here is really because of a buffalo essence, I thought about it, it was at a loss, it seems that this matter is still a little tricky, but at the moment, we still have to send the buffalo essence away first, otherwise the villagers here are always infested by a fairy animal, which is not a good thing,

This is the only way to verify whether my guess is correct, but I still hope that it will not be verified, because ,,,
