I was finally able to move, but my hands and feet were firmly bound by thick ropes, and it was impossible to break free. The old witch is very likely to be a member of the Xuanming Sect, so she will definitely not let me go, and there is a good chance that she will sacrifice us alive!

I shouted, "Can anyone understand me?" I have something to say! ”

The villagers were much quieter and looked at me with very angry expressions, and one of the people on the periphery shouted in standard Chinese, "I can speak Chinese!" ”

Fortunately, there are people who can speak Chinese, and I am a little relieved that I can communicate in the language, at least I still have a little hope.

The crowd split up, and a young man came over, wearing a new black jacket, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with short hair neatly trimmed, eyebrows flying, and a nose like a hanging gall, quite handsome, and had a very elegant temperament, should be a well-read poetry and book, very cultivated. Among the villagers, his clothes are different, and his temperament is very different from others, like standing out from the crowd.

The villagers looked at the young man with respectful and friendly expressions, and it was obvious that this young man was very familiar with them, and it was not by chance that he passed by.

I was looking at the young man, and the young man was looking at me, his eyes were calm and calm, obviously someone who had seen the world. Zuihou still spoke first: "You don't have to be afraid, this may be a misunderstanding, I'll ask them what is going on first." ”

I nodded, "Thank you." ”

The young man went up to the old witch, bowed solemnly, and began to talk to the old witch in tongues, and the old witch was also quite polite and respectful to him.

After talking for a while, the young man walked up to me, glanced at Lin Mei, nodded slightly, and then said to me: "This place is called Huangjia Village, which is a very closed place, so there are many incomprehensible customs, such as not allowing outsiders to enter the village. That Grandma Muyun is the witch doctor in the village, who can channel, and is the spiritual leader of our village, she said that you will bring us disasters, and your appearance is an omen, so prepare for the ceremony...... Kill you. ”

Sure enough, it was going to kill us, but it seemed that the turning point had already appeared, and I hurriedly said: "We have no ill intentions, and we don't know your rules, we stumbled into it by mistake, and I beg your forgiveness for the offense." ”

The young man frowned, looking very embarrassed: "I also know that this kind of rule is unreasonable, and it is superstitious to bring disasters and so on, but the whole village listens to her, and it is difficult for others to change her idea, so I will tell her again." ”

Although I couldn't understand the young man's relationship with the witch, I could guess from their expressions and tone that the old witch was really stubborn. The eyes of the villagers fell on me and Lin Mei for a while, and on the old witch for a while, and some of them showed anger.

After talking for a while, the young man turned to us again: "Who are you, what are you doing here, ordinary tourists will not come here at all, and Grandma Muyun said that you know magic." ”

I beat a drum in my heart, it seems that the old witch is not easy to deceive, if the lie is exposed, it will be certain death; The truth can't be said, the old witch is very likely to be an important figure in the Xuanming Sect, so she may have a deep relationship with Cangwu, knowing that I am here to kill Cangwu, can she still let me go?

My mind was racing, and I suddenly thought of a question, if Cangwu Dao was in Huangjia Village, he would definitely jump out and humiliate me at this time. If he doesn't show up, it proves that he is not there, so I can bet that the people in Huangjia Village have no deep relationship with Cangwu, and then bet that the young man in front of me is a reasonable person!

I relentlessly and asked the young man, "Do you know the Cangwu Dao Elder of the Immortal Concept?" ”

The young man nodded: "Of course I know, I have been to the Immortal Temple many times." ”

Very good, he said that he had been to the Immortal Temple many times, but did not say that Cangwu had come here many times, which further proved that Cangwu did not have a deep relationship with the villagers. I said sincerely: "Cangwu Daoist killed my master, I came to seek revenge on him, but he was not in the Immortal Temple, so I searched everywhere and came to your village." If he is not here, I will leave immediately, and even if he is here, I will only seek revenge on him alone, and I have nothing to do with anyone else, so I will not endanger your village, and I will not bring you bad luck. ”

The young man nodded again and again: "It makes sense, although we know Cangwu Lao Dao, we don't care about his enmity with you." I don't see you two like bad people, you have never met people from our village, and there is no reason to come to trouble us, so I will vouch for you to her. ”

I am very touched, it is rare to meet such a reasonable person, and more importantly, I made the right bet!

The young man spoke to the old witch again, and after a few words, the old witch came up to me, and a pair of bright eyes that the old man should not have stared at me, as if to see through my internal organs. I did not resist or fear, but only held on to one belief in my heart: what I said was the truth!

Under the suppression of the old witch's powerful spiritual power and sharp eyes, I felt like I was on a hill and pierced by thousands of arrows, every second was unbearable, but she just watched endlessly. After a full minute, the old witch finally lowered her eyes, muttered a very unhappy look, and walked away slowly with her long staff, and the Miao girl hurried to help her, and the young man came to untie the rope for me.

My heart finally fell into my belly, and I couldn't stop saying thanks.

The young man said, "You can leave, but I have something to ask you, if you don't dislike it, how about a cup of tea at my house?" ”

"Okay, okay." I hurriedly agreed, on the one hand, I was very grateful to him, and on the other hand, I was full of curiosity about him, in an isolated and unreasonable ancient village, there lived a handsome, elegant and reasonable modern young man, and was very respected by the villagers, how could it not be surprising?

Lin Mei and I followed the young man, and I asked, "Is the eldest brother's surname Huang?" ”

"Yes, about one-fifth of the people in our village are surnamed Huang, and my name is Huang Chaojie. What's your last name? ”

"Don't give your surname Zhang, Zhang Xuanming. This is my girlfriend Lin Mei. ”

Lin Mei and Huang Chaojie said hello to each other, Huang Chaojie stretched out his hand, which meant to shake hands, but Lin Mei didn't know this etiquette, and he naturally withdrew his hand.

Huang Chaojie smiled: "You must be very strange that I can speak Chinese, which is a little different from others, right?" This is because I go out to study and work, I spend most of my time outside, and I rarely come back, and a few days ago I took leave to come back to worship on my mother's death day. ”

I see, I have already sensed that there is a faint fluctuation of true qi in his body, and I am still a little worried: "Has Brother Huang practiced internal strength?" ”

Huang Chaojie was a little surprised: "Can you actually see that I have practiced internal skills?" I did practice Qigong for a while, mainly for research, but I didn't stick to it, which makes you laugh. ”

"Brother Huang studies qigong?"

"No, no, I'm a doctor of medicine, a doctor of bacteria and infectious diseases, I just came back from studying in the United States last year, and now I work for a pharmaceutical company in Jishou. Practicing Qigong is pure fun. ”

I was completely relieved, from the first time I saw him, I felt that he was like a doctor, people who study medicine pay more attention to health preservation, and it is normal to practice a little rough qigong. In such a remote place, a doctor of medicine who came back from studying abroad is tantamount to returning to his hometown, and the villagers respect and admire him for this, and even the old witch gives him some face.

Walking on the road, the villagers avoided us from afar, and Huang Chaojie said: "Don't mind, now they are not afraid that you will bring disaster, but they are afraid of you...... Uh, Grandma Muyun said that you have a monster on you, is it true? ”

I could see that he was curious, but he was not a Taoist person, and there was no need to introduce Xiaoxue to him, so I just said vaguely: "It's just a spirit body, that is, something with spiritual sense, which can communicate with me spiritually and will not harm people." ”

Huang Chaojie said: "I'm very interested in spells, Gu release and the like, but unfortunately no one was willing to teach me when I was a child, and later I chose bacteriology to understand the truth of Gu poison, but I still didn't understand it...... Haha, nice to meet you guys, when are you going to go? I'm going back to the city, so we can go together, just in time to learn a little bit about spells from you. ”

I asked, "Didn't that Grandma Muyun teach you?" ”

"Their witchcraft and Gu cultivation methods are not taught to the Han people."

"Oh......"

We walked and chatted, and when we arrived at Huang Chaojie's house, his house was a Han civil structure, and the altar table in the hall was placed with the spiritual tablets of his parents, and now I firmly believed in what he said.

During the conversation, Huang Chaojie was quite dissatisfied with Grandma Muyun, most of the people here used to be surnamed Huang, so it was called Huangjia Village. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer people with the surname Huang, there are more and more Miao people, no one can even speak Chinese, and the Han people with the surname Huang have no status in the village.

Huang Chaojie asked me how to make a feud with the Cangwu Dao people, and I explained the matter as simply and reasonably as possible, saying that the jade talisman was my master's ancestral treasure, and he knew too much about it, and it was no good for him.

Although I am grateful to Huang Chaojie for saving me and Lin Mei, I really don't have time to satisfy his curiosity now, give him the principle of ** technique and show him it. So after sitting at his house for a while, I politely declined the invitation to go back to the city with him, left him a mobile phone number, and promised to visit him in Jishou in a few days, and then we would have a long talk.

Huang Chaojie gave me a business card that read: Huang Chaojie, director of Sino-US joint venture Zhongmiao Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., called Huang Chaojie Jishu......

I'm still scared of leaving Huangjia Village, Grandma Muyun is so terrible, I don't want to walk into this village again. It seems that this place has nothing to do with the Xuanming Sect, otherwise they wouldn't let me go so easily, so where is the real stronghold of the Xuanming Sect? Where are the Cangwu Dao people? I found that I had never met such a weak opponent, the enemy was like air, invisible and intangible, but everywhere, I had no idea where the enemy was or what to do with me.

The right time, the right place and all three are not good for me, I have the idea of retreating, I should leave here with my friends, and then I sneak back by myself, and turn the light into darkness to have a chance.

Lin Mei also agreed with my decision, so we walked in the direction of the Immortal Temple, and arrived at the agreed place at about one o'clock in the afternoon, but only Lu Qiang was looking at the luggage.

I felt uneasy and hurriedly asked, "What about the others?" ”

Lu Qiang said: "They said that they were going to reconnoiter several other villages, and they were divided into three groups and each walked a road. They tell you to rest assured that they will only observe in the shadows and will not enter the village. ”

I'm in a cold sweat, I've always been wrong about the enemy's actions, if the enemy is waiting for us to disperse and then break through each one, this is giving the enemy the best chance!
