Chapter 34: The Burning Fairy

Yang Shucheng saw a strange brilliance in Wang Jing's eyes, and knew that something was wrong, so he took Fang Xiaoli's hand and ran down the mountain. Fortunately, it was not far from the bottom of the mountain, and soon ran to the bottom of the mountain, and the village was already crowded, so I felt at ease and slowed down.

There are only a dozen families here, thatched huts and bamboo fences, and the folk customs are simple, and the two of them ate at a family's house and continued to hurry. Walking along the river, gradually there were more people, and I inquired all the way, but there was no news of the official army.

On this day, I came to a large village, the fields were all in the fields, the chickens were crowing and the dogs were barking, and I saw that the people in the village were running towards the east. Yang Shucheng thought that an official army was coming, otherwise where would there be such a panic, so he hurriedly grabbed one person and asked what was going on?

The man replied, "Burn the witch." He turned around and ran.

Yang Shucheng and the two knew that there was a difference, and they followed behind these villagers and ran towards the east end of the village.

There is a big locust tree at the east end of the village, and in front of the tree there is a large group of villagers, men and women, old and young, handsome and ugly, tall and short, there are hundreds of people, and they are surrounded by water.

Yang Shucheng and the two came closer, couldn't see the situation inside, stood on the other side of the high place, looked in, and saw a young woman tied to the big locust tree, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although she was tied, her face was not afraid, and she looked at these mountain people with contempt, her face was beautiful, and there were firewood piled up beside her.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, such a beautiful woman, I don't know what crime she committed, she was going to be burned alive?

Those young men, obscene old men, looked at this beautiful woman who was about to burn to death, and they were all greedy, but none of them stepped forward to say a good word to save the beautiful women.

Those young daughters-in-law, old women, looked at the beautiful women, chattering and talking, and everyone had a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Yang Shucheng walked down the dirt slope, stopped an old man, and hurriedly asked what was going on?

The old man came late, and he couldn't squeeze in anyway, and he was also nagging, and if he didn't say it, he was uncomfortable, so he simply stood up and told Yang Shucheng and the two what happened.

It turned out that this woman was a foreigner, and according to her, she was a native of Huguang, a few hundred miles away from here, and came here to preach.

This woman's name is Song Min, came to the mountain village to preach the White Lotus Sect, at first the village people did not believe, she showed some magical powers, the village people believed, built a house for her, built a weir, planted a white lotus in the water, she lived in the house to preach, and the villagers provided her with food and clothing.

Song Min preached in the village, blessed the safety of the villagers, and kept pigs, chickens, ducks, and cows from getting sick. It's been going on for four or five months. I didn't know that she actually got along with a descendant in the village, and was caught and raped in bed by us.

This time it was terrible, the family tied up Song Min, put him in a bamboo cage, and immersed himself in the weir here, but the next day, she showed her magic powers and walked back from outside the village.

She held a grudge against the village, showed her magical powers, attracted thunder, and burned down the houses of four or five families. The people of the village were frightened, so they raised her again and bowed to her.

She had no scruples, and got along with a few descendants in the village, which caused these young descendants to be jealous and fight, and one was killed.

The family sued the village chief, who thought she was a demon girl and corrupted the morals, so he led everyone to drive her away, but she stayed here and didn't leave.

The village chief gathered and decided to kill this demon girl to prevent future troubles, but she couldn't be drowned in the water, so this time he burned her.

When the old man finished telling the story, it was midday, and the sun was shining high overhead.

Yang Shucheng stood on a high place, looking at this Song Min, and always felt that she was similar to Tao Ling, whether she was sisters or not, it was really hard to say, if she was a sister, then her sister would definitely come to save her.

Thinking that it was a pity for such a beautiful woman to be burned to death, Yang Shucheng thought that he would still have to rescue him later, even if he offended the people of the whole village, he would not hesitate to do so.

At this time, the crowd was in a commotion, making way out of the way, and the village chief, who was in charge of the matter, walked over slowly. I saw that he was seventy years old, with a gray goatee, and a sallow face, and paced slowly with square steps.

The village chief walked to the earthen platform that had been set up in advance, and everyone understood the matter, so he simply said more than 20 words, and went straight to the result: "You can't let the demon girl spoil the customs of the village, you must burn her." There must be no more troubles. ”

As soon as the village chief spoke, a few reckless men who had been arranged in advance stepped forward, raised their torches and went to light the dry pyre, only to see the smoke rise first, and then the red flames burst out.

The old locust tree burned with dry firewood in a circle, and the smoke was everywhere, and the mountain people were choked away.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, you are a demon girl, hurry up and use the demon magic to save yourself, he was so nervous that he was in a hurry.

Song Min was completely in the white smoke, but she still looked at the group of people around her with that contemptuous smile. The surrounding villagers looked at the demon girl, some were indifferent, some were proud, and some showed regret and pity.

At this time, I suddenly saw a big white dragon rushing out of the ancient locust tree, flying up like a white horse, flying above the thick smoke, bluffing all the mountain people to retreat and dodge, some fell to the ground, some were trampled on, crying father and mother, and it became a mess.

"Giggle...... The witch's crisp laughter floated out of the firelight.

The mountain people were so depressed that they forgot to shout, and those who could move their legs fled one after another, and those who couldn't move their legs also rolled and crawled on the ground.

The big white dragon swept through the crowd and ran down the mountain, and after a few falls, it has fallen into the weir pond where the drowning demon girl is. When the mountain people saw that the big white dragon had fallen into the pond, they no longer pursued them, but they became emboldened and ran over to watch.

I saw that the water in the pond was boiling, as if it was boiling, and the white dragon was rolling in the water, as if playing in the water, and the mountain people looked at it, and even forgot to exclaim.

After a while, I saw that the water in the pond continued to decrease, and a large whirlpool was revealed in the middle, the size of a room, which kept rotating, and disappeared in an instant, and the pond continued to decrease.

Soon, the water disappeared, and a large hole was revealed at the bottom of the pond, and it was evident that the white dragon had escaped from the hole.

The mountain people had never seen this white dragon, and even an old man of ninety years old on crutches walked tremblingly, and said that he had never seen it, and they all stood by the pond and discussed, and they were willing to leave.

Suddenly, the white dragon poked its head out of the hole at the bottom of the pond, raised its head, more than a man tall, opened its teeth and claws, looked at the baby in the hands of a village woman, opened its big mouth like a basin, and sucked it as hard as possible, and the baby took off his hand and flew straight towards the dragon's mouth.

The people exclaimed, the baby had been bitten by the dragon's beak and was about to burrow into the hole. It was too late for the mountain people to come to their rescue.

At this time, Yang Shucheng and Fang Xiaoli were standing by the pond, the two had the same mind, and it was important to save the baby, only to see the two of them fly up, pounce towards the big white dragon, fall at the bottom of the pond, and stab the left and right eyes of the big white dragon with a sword.

The big white dragon had spirituality, and when he saw two cold swords stabbing straight into his eyes, its body was in the hole, and it couldn't dodge, so it had to give up the baby and burrow into the hole.

Fang Xiaoli picked up the baby, walked ashore, and handed it over to his mother. The mother came back to her senses and hugged the baby tightly, and the other party Xiaoli couldn't stop thanking her.

The mountain people were grateful for the courage of the two strangers to save the baby, and as they were talking, they turned their heads to find the village chief lying on the ground, and blood was still gushing out of his neck.

The village chief died at some point.

Only then did he come back to his senses and look towards the mountain, the dry firewood next to the old locust tree was still burning, and everyone hurriedly ran to the front, where was there the shadow of the demon girl under the tree?

"This woman is a goddess."

"I said earlier, she's not a witch."

"It's the White Lotus Fairy who came down to earth. She shouldn't have been burned in the first place, but now she should come out to take revenge. ”

The mountain people talked for a while, and then they all walked towards the mountain.

Walk to the mountain, go to the east, go out of the village, walk about two miles away, only to see a lonely peak rise, the mountain people climb towards the peak, the mountain has already built a mountaineering road, build a white stone, go up a mile away, come to the lonely peak, only to see a big lotus pond on the peak, it is full of white lotus, everyone bypasses the lotus pond, there are three stone houses in front.

The door of the stone house was opened, and the mountain people knelt on the ground and shouted, "Fairy, forgive your sins." ”

"Are you guilty?"

The mountain people said: "It's all the village chief's fault, we shouldn't listen to him." ”

Song Min in the inner room said: "This village chief is entangled by the evil dragon, he is fascinated by his nature, he shouldn't harm my life, and he will harm the whole village in the future." ”

The villager said: "The village chief deserves it, God has punished him, and he is dead." ”

"The chief offender is dead, so arise and do not be deceived by gossip."

"Yes."

Fairy Song Min continued: "You also committed a sin this time, you dared to burn the fairy, you also know that I can't drown in water, and I can't be extinguished by fire. I punish you by building three more stone houses around this fairy house. ”

"Yes."

"Go back."

As if they had been gifted, these mountain people stood up and were about to go down the mountain, when they heard Song Min in the stone house say:

"My two Dharma Protectors stay."

When the mountain people heard this, they all looked at each other, their faces were shocked, and they didn't know who the left and right protectors were? What kind of good luck will there be?
