Night.

Although the bright moon is ordinary, the officials have a hundred flavors.

The crescent moon had just climbed over the treetops, and the night had just painted the mountains and forests, and even before Feng San arrived near the City God Temple, in the mountain shade of Qi'er Mountain, behind the City God Temple, two passers-by suddenly appeared in a hurry.

It is not known whether they were women, or grandchildren—the one in front of him was dressed in a small blue checkered coat with a little burlap wrapped around his head. She held a large burden in her right hand, and her left hand was half dragging back with a child, but she was rushing forward, sometimes in a hurry, the girl couldn't help but chase forward a few steps, until she was panting and staggering, but she bit her lip and just held it hard, and she never complained.

The girl's eyebrows were delicate, but unfortunately her face had already been covered with mud and glue, and her lotus leaf jacket also seemed to be the clothes worn by boys, and the sweat on her little face had already drawn black marks along her cheeks, but she didn't care - she just buried her head in the footsteps and walked quickly, for fear that she would accidentally fall.

The same is true for the mother-in-law's person, who has already had countless mud on his body and has no time to dust it, so he just keeps moving forward, looking like a flood beast chasing after him.

I don't know how long they had been walking so quickly, and I could see that both of them had run out of oil and had died of support - just when my mother-in-law had just stepped over a round stone, she suddenly felt her legs and feet tremble suddenly, and she fell to the ground on her knees!

"Mother-in-law!" The girl hurriedly ran over and struggled to hold her mother-in-law's hand: "Are you okay, you get up quickly..."

As soon as she stretched out her hand, not only did she not help her mother-in-law, but she also fell out headlong - she actually forgot that her hands and feet were weak and weak, so she could still pull her mother-in-law?

"Smoke!" The mother-in-law quickly held the girl up, "Be careful!" ”

The girl Yan'er stood firm with the help of her strength, and a smile appeared on her face: "I'm fine, mother-in-law." What about you? Do you have something to do? ”

The mother-in-law stretched out her hand and pressed it on the ground, sat cross-legged on the mud floor, shook her head and sighed: "The wound has not changed much, but the physical strength is a little weak-forget it, let's rest for a while and hurry slowly, otherwise if we encounter another pursuer on the road, I am afraid that we will really be powerless to resist." ”

Having said that, she couldn't help but look up at the way she came, even if it was still a vast vastness, there were no birds and beasts, and she couldn't make the anxious look on her face diminish a little.

"Yes." Yan'er sat down next to her mother-in-law obediently, reached out and took out a cake from her arms and handed it over: "Mother-in-law, you eat." It didn't matter if the cake was stuffed into the mother-in-law's hand, and the little hand gently beat on the mother-in-law's leg: "I'll rub it for you, mother-in-law, saying this can relieve your fatigue!" ”

"You eat," the wrinkles on the mother-in-law's face gradually eased, and her eyes were full of love: "Mother-in-law is not hungry!" He returned the cake to Yan'er's hand, and at the same time grabbed her little hand in the palm of her hand: "Don't rub it for your mother-in-law, you are also tired, so you should hurry up and rest for a while." ”

"I'm not tired!" Yan'er stubbornly reached out to rub her mother-in-law's legs, but just as she reached out, she suddenly heard a roaring deer in the distance!

"There are deer!" The mother-in-law's face suddenly showed great joy: "There is no endless road, it seems that God is also going to help us-come, Yan'er helped the mother-in-law to get up and take a look." ”

The two looked towards the foot of the mountain together, only to see that there were yellow and white spots swaying slightly in the dense forest of the mountain, and it seemed that the deer were moving forward.

"This is a deer to drink, Yan'er, you follow the method I taught you to charm a deer, and my mother-in-law will have a way."

Yan'er answered, skillfully took out a box from the package in the mother-in-law's hand, and then pulled out countless vials... She picked a bottle and took it with her, and headed for the river where the deer wanted to go.

When the girl walked farther, the mother-in-law groaned and lifted her shirt, only to pull it slightly, and she could already see the blood seeping out of the undershirt!

Inside the underwear is the lower abdomen wrapped in layers of white cloth, and although the white cloth is wrapped around the body a few times, it is all soaked, and the blood is almost dripping out.

Unraveling the white cloth, a palm-wide knife mark appeared on the lower abdomen.

The wound was extremely strange: the edge of the wound was black and there were traces of burning, but there were countless pink and tender flesh buds connecting the two sides, and now the flesh buds had all been torn apart, and it was just like this, countless blood beads gradually condensed and gathered at the tip of the flesh buds, and flowed down the wound......

The scary thing is that these granulations are still slowly wriggling, getting closer and healing... Whenever these flesh buds were connected, there was a sudden crackling and slight popping sound from the inside of the wound, and the flesh buds were immediately cracked and disconnected again!

On the one hand, it is healing, and on the other hand, it is constantly tearing, how can this kind of pain be very bearable? But this ordinary old woman not only endured this pain, but also escaped from the pursuers behind her!

How could she be an ordinary person?

The old woman showed a trace of pain in her eyes, but she only snorted softly in her nose and said to herself, "Do you want me to die?" The old woman just won't let you get your wish! Even if I fight for my life, I will send the cigarettes to her grandmother! ”

She reached out and took out an object in her arms and held it on top of the wound, the size of which looked like a carved jade gourd, but when she squeezed it slightly in her hand, the object turned into powder completely, and a wisp of liquid in it suddenly dripped down.

The water droplets on the wound suddenly hissed softly, and at the same time, a puff of white smoke rose up, the mother-in-law's teeth clenched so loudly, her hands clenched the green tendons, and her finger bones were terrifyingly white!

It wasn't for nothing that she endured the pain, at least the wound had begun to heal!

The black marks of the wound disappeared, and the granulations were all connected together, pulling each other to close the two ends of the wound tightly, and then, like a trick, new flesh and skin began to grow, and the necrotic place withered and withered...

In just one stick of incense, all of them have grown!

However, with this incense stick, she has a lot more gray hair on her head!

At this time, she exhaled a long breath, as if she was only slightly more comfortable at this time, looked down at the wound, and her mother-in-law sighed: "I can support it for another seven more days... Alas, seven days and seven days, seven days and seven days, when I find her, I'm afraid I'll all be a waste! ”

"Mother-in-law!" In the distance, Yan'er suddenly shouted with joy: "Come here, I have caught the deer!" ”

"Just come." The mother-in-law hurriedly answered, then wrapped the white cloth around her waist layer by layer again, and then sorted out and wrapped her clothes, picked them up, and hurried towards the river.

Sure enough, right next to the smoke, several sturdy stag were lying at the water's edge, their ears still shaking from time to time, but they couldn't move.

"Hee-hee," Yan'er laughed, jumped, and greeted her with the bottle, "I dripped the potion on the grass by the river, as you taught my mother-in-law, and these deer ate themselves as soon as they came—how stupid!" ”

"This water is good for luring deer to eat, it's not that they're stupid," the mother-in-law walked over and chose a stag, "Well, that's it, it's stronger, although the time is shorter, but the way to run is farther." ”

There was no delay at the moment, and as soon as he turned his wrist, two pieces of yellow paper appeared in his hand.

The mother-in-law folded the yellow paper back quickly, and after a while, two lifelike paper deer appeared in her hands. She stretched out her finger and poked it lightly at the stag's chest, and the fingertips suddenly pierced the flesh and splattered blood.

She took the head of a paper deer and took a little blood, and her fingertips drew the blood on the yellow paper, three flying leaves on the left and nine petals on the right, drooping six Yingluo, and a drop of dew on the top, the whole is a lotus flower stepping on the moon.

Then she placed the paper deer on the dirt floor not far away, and then took out an incense stick and lit it and inserted it into the middle of the lotus flower, and poked it straight into the dirt. Then she found a few reeds beside her, removed the dead branches and leaves and left a pole, divided it into six sections, and placed a circle around it, and the whole showed a hexagonal shape.

After finishing it, the mother-in-law found some duckweed by the river, and then mixed some dead branches and lit it to smoke a few stags, except for the one that punctured the flesh, the others stood up all the way.

The deer shook their heads and snorted and did not dare to stop, and ran towards the mountains as soon as they slipped through the smoke.

When the mother-in-law saw the deer walking away, she picked up another paper deer and threw it on the ground, threw out the deer blood from her fingertips, and shouted in her mouth:

"Passing away slowly, borrowing souls from coming and falling, those who are born without vain, saving the suffering and suffering - coming and going! Follow me! Guide the way of heaven and earth, the lifeless old mother, the Holy Buddha of Maitreya is coming! Go! Three solutions! Return! Command! ”

At the same time, both hands turned their wrists to form the lotus eight treasure seal, and the index fingers of both hands protruded forward, facing the paper deer.

"Whoa!"

In the sound of the call sign, I saw that the paper deer slowly grew up, and the hair was thick, and after a while, it turned into a real stag, shaking its head and tail, raising its hooves and shaking its hair, just like that living thing!

"Poof!"

With a crisp sound, the incense stick inserted on the first paper deer burst out with a red light, and then the incense ignited by itself.

"Hold on!" The mother-in-law hurriedly carried the smoke to the back of the deer, and then turned over, and went straight up the mountain without shouting the deer.

Only the paper deer on the ground, incense sticks, and the stag that has become depressed are left!

Paper toner painting dragon,

If you borrow the yang soul, you will be calm;

A fugue is filled with fragrance,

The childless old mother is supernatural.

※

The deer ran towards the mountain and didn't care about the direction, but just threw the pursuers behind him far away, and seeing that there were still many at that time, the mother-in-law couldn't help but feel more and more relaxed:

"It's a good way to get rid of people! Climb over the mountain tonight, and tomorrow you will find a boat down the river - and then it's time to rest... Alas, the smoke has also suffered these days..."

She was thinking about what tomorrow would bring, when suddenly she saw a flash somewhere behind her out of the corner of her eye!

Firelight?

Not good!

Could it be that the pursuers have already reached the mountain?

The mother-in-law did not dare to slack off and immediately stopped drinking the deer, and then turned over and took the supernatural powers--the deer's hair gradually became thinner and smaller, and then shrank into the flesh, and the whole shrank like a deflated skin, and soon turned into a piece of yellow paper again.

She put the paper in her arms and whispered, "Yan'er, there seems to be something wrong ahead." Be careful to go with me behind your back to see what is going on, and if you don't do anything to us you will change lanes - you must be careful not to alarm those people! ”

I don't know if it's friend or foe here, but no one can see my whereabouts no matter what!

Because... It's hard to tell friend from foe!
