Gaiden: The price of the wolf

People dream.

Some people have simple minds and few dreams, while others have complex minds and many dreams. Some people dream about what they see during the day, and some people dream wildly. Some people have sweet dreams, some have nightmares ☯. Some people dream just by sleeping, while others dream all day long.

What is the meaning of dreams?

Some people say: I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

Some people say: Dream is the deepest and most secret ☯ portrayal of your heart.

Some people say: Dreams have omens, and only those special people can explain the meaning of dreams......

Some people are busy from morning to night, and as soon as they lie down, they fall asleep and hardly dream.

And some people are busy with intrigue ☯ ☯ ☯, ☯ ☯ ☯ deceit, hypocrisy and wrongdoing. When it comes to going to bed at night, he always dreams that his enemies are coming to kill him, and that those he has killed are coming to take revenge.

Jiuhua Niang rarely dreamed before, because her life was full and content.

is fulfilled because what she wants will be obtained by any means. Satisfaction is because what she wants, after unscrupulous plunder, will be obtained.

Until one day, she suddenly discovered that some people and some emotions are something you can't get by unscrupulous means. So Jiuhua Niang began to dream - she couldn't think about it, and she tossed and turned.

Later, her dreams become reality, reality, and nightmares, and so on and so on and so on and so on and so forth.

Today, Jiuhua Niang had another dream. In the beginning, the dream had a good start. As a little girl, she sat on a hillside covered with green grass and a breeze through her hair ☯.

The lamb in her arms made a childish ☯ cry ☯, which drew a response from the surrounding flock. At this moment, she suddenly stood up, came to the edge of the hillside, and looked at the people who were toiling at the bottom of the mountain, and a wicked ☯ smile appeared on ☯ her lips.

I saw that she took a deep breath first, and then shouted: "The wolf is coming!! the wolf is coming!!" Don't look at her as a little girl, but her voice is surprisingly loud. The people down the hill immediately heard it, and soon they rushed over. But she hid behind the boulder, watched the panting crowd, and laughed.

Although everyone knows that they have been deceived, they don't care about anything when they see that she is a child.

But then, on the second day, the third day, something like this happened again, so everyone stopped believing her.

But then, the wolf really came. No matter how loudly she cries for help, the people down the mountain just don't hear it.

Watching the wolf eat her sheep one by one, she became so helpless that she forgot to run for her life. When all the sheep had been eaten, they finally saw her and the lamb in her hands.

At this time, Jiuhua Niang knew that if she didn't run away, she would have a result with other sheep. So she didn't even think about it, so she dropped the lamb in her arms and ran desperately.

But how could she be faster than the hungry wolves, and as soon as the lamb was dropped, it became food for ☯ the wolves. The rest of the wolves pursued her desperately.

A small rock tripped her, and when she turned around, a wolf had already paved her and pressed her limbs to the ground. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to look, so she had to close her eyes tightly. After waiting for a while, he felt that the wolf did not move, so he opened his eyes with a little curiosity. Then he saw that the wolf's face was so close to him that he couldn't see his face clearly. I only saw a pair of wolf eyes, a pair of wolf eyes that would shine.

Light, very bright. It's very glaring. So Jiuhuaniang closed her eyes again. But the light still pierced ☯ her eyelids through her eyelids......

This light was too dazzling, so Jiuhua Niang couldn't help but cover her face with her hands.

Maybe it's because the movement is a bit big, waking up the child next to him. The child's crying also pulled her back from the nightmare.

Looking at the well-fed child lying in her arms, thinking that this is the only one she has now, Jiuhua Niang can't help but feel pain in her heart.

At that moment, she heard a rustling sound outside, as if someone was talking.

Jiuhua Niang knew that it was those villagers ☯ who were chewing on the root of their tongue again.

But don't say it's talking about her behind her back, even if it's talking about her to her face, she doesn't care. More serious than this, such as stickers and sprinkling dog blood, those people have not done it. If she was before, there would have been corpses all over the place.

Pushing open the door, sure enough, there was a small group of people gathered there not far in front, talking about something.

As she got closer, she heard a soft cough. Then, when they stopped talking, they turned around, smiled at her, and left in twos and threes. In order to prevent her from doubting, she also deliberately spoke loudly:

Brother Zhang, today's weather is really good!

Little dog, you keep saying that my wife's stomach doesn't move, you see, it's not there. Come to my house for a drink tonight ☯.

Jiuhua Niang looked at these people, and she couldn't cry or laugh.

It's a small village, and if you say something out loud, almost the whole village can hear it. So although Jiuhuaniang was empty everywhere she went, when it was time to eat at noon, she already knew what was going on.

For the whole village, she Jiuhuaniang is an ominous person.

Saying "human", maybe he also exalted her.

In the eyes of the villagers ☯, she is a vixen.

First of all: he has changed. It turned out that when she first came to the village, she was a bloated and ugly-looking woman, but later she became as beautiful as a fairy. For this simple villager ☯, such a disguise technique is indeed not something that people can do.

Secondly: Although her husband and father-in-law are not in harmony, their usual lives are peaceful. But since Jiuhuaniang, who is known as Huahua, got married, the father and son died one after another. And that doesn't mean she's an ominous woman.

Coupled with her usual strange behavior, the people in the village have more reason to believe that she is not an ordinary woman, but a demon fox transformed.

For this reason, people in the village often went to the town to invite the monk Lao Tao. But these people are just mouths, as soon as they met Jiuhuaniang, who was born in the rivers and lakes, those people didn't even see the figure, and they were subdued ☯.

Although I didn't subdue ☯ Jiuhuaniang, in order to invite a mage ☯, I went back and forth, and several neighboring villages and towns around knew that there were ghosts in their village, and it was a very powerful fox demon. In this way, if any mage ☯ dares to go to their village, and the people in the village go to the town to catch the market, no one dares to do business with them.

Since then, no one has dared to disturb Jiuhuaniang's life.

However, at noon today, Jiuhua Niang still came to the conclusion from the fragmentary news that a female Taoist aunt came to the town, saying that she was going to enter the village at night to help them get rid of demons.

Jiuhuaniang didn't laugh this time, but let out a long breath, which seemed to be relieved.

Why she felt this way, even she didn't know.

It was as if she was in a dream, and the wolf was going to eat her and the lamb in her arms, and she was desperate to protect it. And just at the last moment, she suddenly handed the little lamb into someone else's hands, and then she was completely freed.

It was a strange feeling, and it was only for a moment. A moment later, a contemptuous smile crossed her face.

Back in the house, she began to wait for the moment when her opponent would come in the evening.

Before Miao Yin was born, there was a plague ☯ in the city, and although the family had the money to keep their mother and daughter, Miao Yin was born weak and sickly.

Her father was patriarchal, and he rarely cared about her, and only her mother, nurse and younger brother ☯ really cared about her.

When she was ten years old, she once went to the temple and was abducted by a flower shooter. Later, fortunately, a Taoist aunt came to the rescue. When she was sent home, her mother was very grateful. During the conversation, the Taoist aunt said that Miaoyin ☯ was weak and was just using ☯ medicine to save her life. When my mother heard this, she knew that this was a man of the world, so she asked what to do.

The Taoist aunt asked the child to become a monk with her.

Although it is the pearl of her palm, for the sake of her children, mothers can only endure the pain of love.

Xiao Miaoyin followed ☯ her master into the Taoist temple, and she was not afraid of life at all, and soon got along with her sisters ☯. Later, not only did he get better, but ☯ he also learned martial arts, and he became the master of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Concept.

If it weren't for her master, she might not have lived to be eighteen. Therefore, as an adult, she likes to travel around ☯, hoping to take care of more injustices and save more people who are suffering.

Mrs. Miaoyin, who was sipping tea, heard the conversation of a table of guests in the right corner suddenly decreased, which made Mrs. Miaoyin very concerned.

Although the surrounding voices were noisy and the voices of those people were quiet, Mrs. Shi still heard what they were saying.

A: "Brothers, look, the old Zhang Tou of the East Village." ”

B: "Yes, he's here again." My uncle had some friendship with him, and advised him to leave the village and not to come again. Now whoever sees them in their village hates it, let him die of this heart, no one in this town can fight that 'thing'. ”

C: "What are you talking about?"

A: "You went to take the township test, of course you didn't know that something happened to Li Fu's family in Dongcun and attracted a fox spirit." ”

When he spoke of the vixen, his voice was lowered, almost as if he were talking with breath.

Hearing this, C became louder instead, and said with a straight face: "Brother Tai, you can't say that, you must know that 'Zi is silent and strange'." ”

B: "The son does not speak, ☯ and the cousin does not believe." If you don't believe it, then go and subdue the wickedness. ”

If you listen to it again, it's just a gag from a few people, and Mrs. Shi lost interest.

When I raised my eyes and looked at the old man, he had already entered the temple.

Mrs. Shi hurriedly paid the money, flashed, and entered the temple.

In front of the statue, I saw Lao Zhang's head kowtowing three times, and said reverently: "Bodhisattva bless, I hope that I can find a capable master to save our village." After speaking, he picked up the sticker on the confession and shook it.

In the southwest corner of the main hall, there is a special sign. Mrs. Shi came to his side and asked about the specific situation of Lao Zhangtou.

Almost the whole town knew about this matter, and it was told to Mrs. Shi by the signator 1510.

At this moment, Lao Zhangtou came over with a sign to solve.

Before Na Miaoyin could put down the sign, he took it with one hand and said, "Old donor, I'll help you solve your business." ”

Lao Zhangtou looked up and saw that it was a Dao Gu who was about one or thirty years old, and he didn't think she had much mana ☯, so he asked, "This master, do you know what I want to solve?"

"Nature knows. ”

"Now that I know, the old man will tell you that there were several major events before, and it seems that they are all strong in mana ☯. But in the end, he couldn't fight that fox demon. This teacher, I think you should forget it. ”

"The benefactor does not believe in the poor way. As she spoke, Miao Yin stood on the table, pressed her fingers against the top, and used a ☯ force to penetrate the entire bamboo stick through the table.

Miao Yin knew that if she wanted to convince the other party, she had to come up with some means.

When the old man looked at it, he was stunned for a long time. After being called back to his senses, he immediately knelt down and kept saying: "Shi Tai, help, if you don't make a move, our village will be eaten by that fox spirit." ”

Miao Yin helped the old man up and said, "Old donor, God has the virtue of a good life, I will definitely help you, but you have to tell me the whole thing in detail, I can help you." ”

So, Lao Zhangtou told the vixen how to enter the village and how to harm people. (Regarding how the "fox spirit" entered the village, I have detailed it in "Li Gui Chapter", so I won't say much here)

After listening, Miao Yin said: "Old donor, you take a rest first, go back and tell the villagers ☯, just say that I will remove the demon tomorrow night." ”

"Don't, Mrs. Shi. You must know that saving people is like fighting fires, so you should come to get rid of demons tonight ☯. ”

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I have a lot of materials that I don't have ready, and when I'm ready, I'll get rid of the demon. ”

"Shitai, what materials do you want, chicken blood, rune paper, table cases, offerings, and peach wood swords, we have them. ”

Miao Yin understood that in order to get rid of the demon, the villagers ☯ did not take any action, so she said to the old man: "Old donor, what I want to prepare is not an ordinary product, I must prepare it myself." When you go back, tell the villagers ☯ to be careful, believing that she will not do anything to you if you postpone it for a day. ”

When Miao Yin came to the outside of the village, it was already evening. It is surrounded by large farmlands and a small pond, giving it a rural idyllic setting.

Miao Yin likes this environment very much, which is good for her practice and enlightenment ☯. But she also knew the purpose of this visit, so that he just stopped and watched, and then walked towards the entrance of the village.

At this time, all the people in the village had gathered ☯ outside the village, and when they saw Miao Yin, they hurriedly greeted them.

Miao Yin didn't expect that there would be such a big battle, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Donors, what are you doing? It's not early, you should also hurry home and cook, and I can solve the evil alone." ”

I saw one of the older old men come forward, bow deeply, and said: "This fairy girl, the former we have invited a Taoist with high mana ☯, he said that the fox spirit demon is strong, and he wants to deal with the fox spirit while protecting us, so that he not only did not get rid of the demon, but also suffered serious injuries. Therefore, we thought that it would be better for the whole village to flee first, and wait until tomorrow Immortal Gu will subdue the goblin, and we will come back. ”

When Master Miaoyin heard this, he smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this, I already have a way to get rid of demons, everyone just needs to rest at home, and nothing will happen." ”

Although Mrs. Shi said so, everyone was still not at ease. When Miao Yin entered the village and looked back, those people were still standing there far away, and some of them had even left the entrance of the village.

Miao Yin understands that these people are really afraid, and since they can't convince them, let's settle the affairs of the village as soon as possible, so that everyone can rest assured.

Following the instructions of the villagers, Miao Yin came to the house of the "fox spirit". She didn't shout and rush in like the monks and Taoist ☯ priests who had eliminated demons before, but knocked on the door very politely.

Jiuhuaniang was surprised, she didn't expect the person who came this time to be so polite. So, she also cut her hair in the mirror, put the sleeping child on the bed ☯, and got up to open the door.

The door opened, and Jiuhua Niang saluted first, and said, "I don't know why you have come here for a long time?" If you want to spend the night, as long as you don't feel that this place is simple, you will be happy to do so." ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao is not here to stay overnight, but to solve problems. ”

"Solving the problem, is it solving my problem? That depends on whether the Taoist master has this ability, in the past, there were many famous monks who claimed to be profound in magic, and they wanted to say that they would destroy me. But they all ended up running away, and I stayed here. But you don't know how to solve me?"

Miao Yin said: "The donor misunderstood, I said that I came this time to solve the problem, not to solve you." It's just that the problem solved is also about you. ”

Jiuhua Niang said: "What you said is really strange, not only to solve the problem about me, but also to solve me." ”

"Jiuhua Niang, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although you live in seclusion here, but things have made a lot of trouble, the people in the village continue to go outside to find ☯ someone to subdue you, I believe that soon there will be people in the rivers and lakes with the psychology of 'fighting uneven' to come here. Although the righteous path martial arts have already admitted you, it doesn't mean ☯ that everyone in the righteous path can tolerate you, not to mention the evil path martial arts, they have always treated you as a traitor ☯. ”

Hearing Miaoyin's words, Jiuhuaniang's face immediately turned pale, her feet were separated, and her hands made moves aimed at Miaoyin. He ☯ asked, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"In the next wonderful sound. ”

Jiuhua Niang was taken aback and said: "Nine Heavens Xuannu View, Miaoyin Shitai." ”

"Yes, it's the poor road. ”

"Looks like you're really here to get me. ”

Miao Yin still smiled slightly, and said, "Catch you, why do you want to catch you?"

Jiuhua Niang said: "I have done so many bad things, how can you righteous ☯ people ☯ let me go." ”

"So what? Who has not made mistakes, and knowing them can improve a lot. What's more, you and he used to be enemies of the evil way, and you were hunted down and killed by the whole evil way. With this alone, you are worthy of the praise of all of my generation, so how can I arrest you?"

"Very well, thank you. In this way, I can do things with peace of mind. ”

"What's the matter?"

“......”

"Are you really going to do that?"

didn't speak, Jiuhuaniang just nodded firmly.

"Actually, there are other ways to solve this matter, you don't have to use such an extreme method. ”

"The heart is dead, what is the use of the body......"

Holding the child and looking at the distant figure of Jiuhua Niang, Miaoyin sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, she felt a trace of coolness on her cheeks, which turned out to be a tear, a tear of red dust.

Why can't things go as planned, some people just want to live an ordinary life, but the merciless blow of reality makes them unable to fulfill this ideal for life; some people have done wrong things, and when they want to change ☯ their ways ☯ ☯, they always can't get the trust of others.

The sky is almost dawn, and the east is already showing ☯ the whiteness of the fish's belly. In the direction of the sun ☯, Miao Yin stepped on her path. Facing the place where the sun was setting, Jiuhua Niang walked towards his end.

It's been a long time since I've walked with my head up, and the former Nine Flower Lady always looks for prey out of the corner of her eye. Later, when she reformed ☯ her ways ☯ ☯, she always followed behind her husband with her head down. After the disaster, he was afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so he always changed his appearance and did not dare to meet people.

Now, at the end of her life, she can raise her head and be a man without any scruples.

On the quiet hill, there are two graves side by side, which are Jiuhuaniang and his husband.

"I have done so many bad things before, thinking that by doing a few good things and killing a few evil people, I can make up for my previous mistakes?" said a great monk as he stuck his crescent shovel on the ground.

Another middle-aged man said: "Once you die, everything is off, how can the master be a monk, how can he have such an obsession? A bad person who has done good deeds cannot be regarded as a good person." So, if a good person does a bad thing, can't he be considered a bad person?"

The monk did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "You helped her erect the tomb?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Not bad." ”

"People like Jiuhua Niang are not worthy at all. ”

"What does it matter if you are worthy or unworthy, since you are dead, you should be buried in the earth. You can't shovel the grave. ”

"Why not. ”

"The master is merciful. If you really want to do it, let me take care of this tomb. ”

The monk was stunned: "You, okay, I won't show mercy to this shovel." No matter what the outcome will be, I won't move this tomb. ”

"Thank you. ”

The shovel flew a few feet away, and the person retreated ten steps away.

"Who are you?"

"Both good and evil in martial arts are called under - Mo Dao Ancestor. Master, even I, an evil person, can forgive her for betrayal, and the master should be even more open. ”

"Good, good. With your strength, it's easy to kill me, but save me my life. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know good or bad, and if he sin my hands one day, I'll open the net. Remember, I called the heart. ”

A few years later, the Modaomen ☯ was besieged ☯ by the Evil Dao Dao Sect and suffered heavy casualties. On the way to escape, I just happened to meet the heart. He also kept his oath that year, opened the net, and did not embarrass everyone.

But among the crowds, there was a child who remembered this monk who could not be saved. When this child has the ability, the first thing to find is the heart.

This time, neither side spared......
