As Ah Gou's forging skills became more and more refined, the swords he forged became easier and easier to sell, and the selling price was getting higher and higher.

With such a good helper as Ah Gou, Blacksmith Feng's life is getting more and more nourishing, and now, Blacksmith Feng will get some beef every once in a while and feast on it.

Compared with the happy and nourishing life of Feng Blacksmith, the lives of the hunters in "Taoyuan Village" are not as good as day by day.

Since last year, when winter was approaching, the prey on the mountain suddenly decreased. In the past, hunters who went up the mountain could return with a full load in less than half a day. Now, it is difficult for them to have the same harvest after a day of hunting. In the past, they could eat the prey they hunted once in the mountains for several days. Now, there are not enough prey for several days to eat.

What makes them even more panicked is that such days are getting worse day by day.

The feeling of being hungry made the people of "Taoyuan Village" very anxious. They racked their brains and couldn't figure out why, all of a sudden, they couldn't shoot their prey.

You know, since their ancestors came here, they have lived by hunting. Hundreds of years have passed, and the prey on the mountain has suddenly decreased.

It wasn't until one day that the arrival of a "feng shui gentleman" holding a goose feather fan broke the doubts in their hearts.

"Mr. Feng Shui" is also a foreigner, and in his own words, he climbed seven mountains and crossed seven rivers before he came to "Taoyuan Village". He also showed the villagers the broken shoes on his feet, which only had the upper of the shoe left. He said, "This is the fifth pair of shoes like this." ”

"Sir, why did you come to our village?" asked Zhang Orion.

"I'm here to accomplish an important mission. "Mr. Feng Shui" said in a heavy tone, "You know that your village has been cursed by the Hunter God, and I am here to help you overcome the curse." ”

"How do you know our village is cursed?" asked Zhang Orion, puzzled.

The old patriarch of the village froze to death when winter was approaching, so Zhang Lihu, who spoke a lot, became the new patriarch of "Taoyuan Village". Fortunately, it is too remote here, and the neighbors live in harmony and peace with each other on weekdays, and the people in the village don't care too much about who is the patriarch.

"Don't you see? Above your village, there is a black fog. I came to you only when I saw the black fog above your village. "Mr. Feng Shui" paused and said, "Oh, I forgot, you are a mortal, and you can't see the sky with the naked eye." But it doesn't matter, I'm here and the curse can be lifted. ”

Zhang Lihu looked up and saw that there was no mist above the village as "Mr. Feng Shui" said, so Zhang Lihu was suspicious of "Mr. Feng Shui's" words. "Mr. Feng Shui" saw Zhang Orion's suspicion in Zhang Orion's eyes.

"Let me ask you, have you rarely been able to hit your prey lately?" asked Mr. Feng Shui.

Zhang Orion nodded.

"Mr. Feng Shui" stroked his sparse beard and continued, "Do you know why you haven't been able to take down your prey lately?"

"If I had known why I couldn't take down my prey, I wouldn't be here to hear you. Zhang Orion was a little bored, he hadn't eaten enough for several days, and he was still in the mood to listen to "Mr. Feng Shui".

"As the old saying goes, all water has a source, and ten thousand trees have a follow. There are also root causes of the current predicament of your village. Only by finding out the cause and understanding the source of the matter will things take a turn for the better. "Mr. Feng Shui" shook a goose feather fan, looking unfathomable.

Zhang Orion is not a fool, he naturally heard the implicit meaning in the words of "Mr. Feng Shui".

"Is the gentleman going to help us?" asked Zhang Orion.

"The mountain people can't help you. You can only help yourself?" "Mr. Feng Shui" said with a slight bow and an expressionless face.

"Sir, what should we do?" Zhang Orion had changed his arrogant attitude and became very humble and submissive.

"Mr. Feng Shui" shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said, "So be it." You gather all the people here together, lest the mountain people have to tell you one by one. ”

There is a "Hunting Temple" to the north of "Taoyuan Village". Zhang Orion's door-to-door notice made the hunters of the whole village concentrate on the "Hunting Temple". When Zhang Orion informed Mu Sheng, Mu Sheng was not at home, and Mu Rong and Ah Dog were bathing Bai Ling.

"Uncle Zhang, do you have something to do with my father?" Mu Rong wiped her hands, stood at the door of the hall, looked at the sweaty Zhang Lihu in the yard, and asked.

"When your father came back, you told him to go to the "Hunting Temple" and there was something important to announce. After explaining, Zhang Orion left.

"Something important? There hasn't been a big incident in our village over the years, what can be anything important?" said Ah Gou while bathing Bai Ling.

"Uncle Zhang is very cautious, if the matter is not important, he will not say that. Mu Rong blinked and said, "Otherwise, let's go to the 'Hunting God Temple' and have a look." ”

"What should Bai Ling do? Ah Dog said.

"Come back and wash Bai Ling again. Mu Rong found a rag and wiped her hands, she pulled up Ah Dog and said, "Brother Ah Dog, let's go quickly." If it's late, there's no excitement to see. ”

Ah Gou scraped Mu Rong's nose with his hand, looked at Mu Rong with a pampered face, and said, "You, you like to watch the excitement." ”

Out of the room, Mu Rong inserted Bai Ling into the room. She took Ah Dog's hand and jumped towards the "Hunting Temple".

When the two arrived at the "Hunting God Temple", the open space in front of the temple was already full of people. Anyway, I haven't been able to hunt any prey lately, so most of the hunters are staying at home. They heard that there was a "Feng Shui Master" who could solve their current predicament, and they all came to the "Hunting Temple".

Ah Gou and Mu Rong are short and can't see the situation in front of them clearly. Ah Gou looked left and right, he saw a jujube tree not far away, Ah Gou pulled Mu Rong to climb to the jujube tree, and after condescending, Ah Gou saw a person in a Taoist robe standing in front of the temple gate.

"That person doesn't seem to be from our village. Mu Rong said.

Ah Gou nodded and said, "I don't know him either, he must not be from our village." ”

Mougin, "Mr. Feng Shui" glanced at Ah Gou intentionally or unintentionally, and when Ah Gou saw the gaze of "Mr. Feng Shui", his heart was shocked, and he felt that that gaze was somewhat familiar to him.

"Mr. Feng Shui" raised the goose feather fan in his hand and pressed it down, and the hunters stopped talking and listened to the "Mr. Feng Shui" speech.

"Today, the mountain people have taken the liberty of summoning you here, which is really abrupt. Thank you for your understanding. "Mr. Feng Shui" hugged his fists and made a gesture to everyone.

"Sir, I have gathered all the people. If you have something to say, just say it. Zhang Orion said impatiently.

"Mr. Feng Shui" smiled and said, "The mountain people have come from afar, and you have never given the mountain people a bowl of water to drink, it seems that this is not your hospitality here." ”

Hearing "Mr. Feng Shui" say this, Zhang Orion is really a little embarrassed. Because what "Mr. Feng Shui" says is the truth. He said that Orion only cared about summoning Orions to the "Hunting Temple", and forgot to entertain "Mr. Feng Shui".

Zhang Orion slapped his head with his hand, and then apologized and said, "Sir, forgive me, I'll go and bring water to Mr." ”

Zhang Orion turned around to leave, and "Mr. Feng Shui" grabbed Zhang Orion. He smiled and said, "The mountain people are joking with you." Although the mountain people are not very skilled, they are not hungry enough to starve themselves. ”

Immediately, "Mr. Feng Shui" looked around at everyone and said, "Since you have all fallen." The mountain is straight to the point. The mountain man's surname is Tu, which is a small road in Maoshan Mountain. Three months ago, the mountain people watched the sky at night and found that you were shrouded in a black mist, and the mountain people knew that there must be evil spirits in this place. ”

"Black fog, we didn't see black fog, did we?" said Zhang Orion as he looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and cloudless.

All the Orions also looked up, and they were just as puzzled as Zhang Orion, because they didn't see the black fog that the Butcher said.

"If you are a mortal eye, you naturally can't see the black fog. "Mr. Feng Shui" said, "Close your eyes, meditate, get rid of distracting thoughts, and when the mountain people tell you to open your eyes, you open your eyes again, and then you will be able to see the black mist." ”

All the hunters listened to the words of "Mr. Feng Shui" and closed their eyes. On the tree, Mu Rong also closed her eyes. Ah Dog also closed his eyes, but then he opened them again. Because after Ah Gou closed his eyes, a figure appeared in his mind, a black-robed Taoist.

Thinking of the black-robed Taoist, Ah Gou shivered and hurriedly opened his eyes. Later, Ah Gou saw "Mr. Feng Shui" sitting cross-legged in front of the temple gate, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and his mouth was chanting. Then, "Mr. Feng Shui" pointed with his hand, and Ah Gou looked back, and at the top of the "Cloud Peak", a black mist was shrouded.

"Mr. Feng Shui" got up, flicked his clothes, and said loudly, "Open your eyes." ”

The Orions opened their eyes and looked in the direction of Mr. Feng Shui's finger. But seeing that "Izumo Peak" had already surrounded the entire black fog. In the air, there was still a faint hint of blood.

The hunters looked at each other.

Zhang Orion knelt down first and kowtowed to "Mr. Feng Shui", and the others also followed Zhang Orion and knelt down.

"Sir, help us, save us. Zhang Orion pleaded.

"Mr. Feng Shui" hurriedly helped Zhang Orion up.

"Rise up, everybody. "Mr. Feng Shui" said aloud, "Now, do you all believe the words of the mountain people?"

"Believe, believe. The hunters replied in unison.

"The mountain people know that you live here and have lived hunting for generations. Lately, however, they have been hunting less and less prey, so you are very confused and confused. You have been hunting for more than a thousand years, since your ancestors. Why is there suddenly less prey now?" "Mr. Feng Shui" paused and said no more.

The question of "Mr. Feng Shui" can be said to have been asked to the hearts of all the hunters, and each of them was pondering this matter, but after pondering for so long, no one could figure out the reason.
