Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Xianrenji is close to Jinghu Village, but it does not belong to the boundary of Pangshan Mountain, and the merchants do business with the Taoist priests, and the practice for many years tells them an unbreakable rule: do not ask the Taoist priest for help at any time, the Xianrenji is not under the jurisdiction of the immortals, they are the people of Xijie Kingdom, and they have to report their problems to the magistrate.
The nearest magistrate and garrison were also a day's journey away, and this lord always seemed to have complicated affairs that could not be completed, and small things such as wolf plagues could not alarm him, and the death of five civilians might attract some attention, but there must be greater casualties to get the help of the Xuanfu army.
The crowd gathered in the courtyard of the inn, complaining and crying bitterly, but they did not know how to ask the young Taoist priest for help, because the other party only needed one sentence to reject a qiē request: Taoist priest Pangshan does not interfere in mortal affairs.
The voice faded, and the expectant eyes of dozens of people fell on the old woman at the front, only her, holding the idol in her hand, with a smile on her face, full of confidence.
Granny Mei walked up to Xiaoqiu and said, "I'm not here to ask you for help. ”
The crowd behind her was taken aback, and Xiaoqiu was also surprised, "Granny Mei, it turns out that you have been gathering ...... immortals" He didn't know what to say, he always remembered the scene from a few years ago: the old woman was held up in the air by angry villagers, chanting incantations in her mouth, and someone gagged her mouth with dirt......
"No, I've been wandering outside for the past few years, and I only came to the Immortal Market a few days ago. Granny Mei raised the ancient god statue in her hand, "It brought me back." ”
The people in the courtyard were in awe, and even the veteran Pan Sanye bowed his head to the statue.
Xiao Qiu didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry, Pang Mountain has Pang Mountain's rules...... "After all, Xiao Qiu has been in Yangshen Peak for a few years, and he may not know every rule, but Xin Youtao understood it as soon as he explained it slightly: Pang Shan's refusal to help the Immortal Collection is because he doesn't want the residents here to have a sense of dependence, and in the long run, the Immortal Collection will become a part of Pang Mountain, and this is not what the Taoist priests want. It also violates the agreement between Daotong and the Longbin Association.
"I know the rules very well. Granny Mei still smiled, "Actually, I'm going to take away the wolves, I just want to invite you to come with me to have a look." ”
The old woman was about to drive away the wolves, and the crowd in the courtyard was more suspicious than respectful, and whispered to each other, but no one objected.
Granny Mei's last invitation brought a series of troubles to Xiaoqiu, and it has not been completely eliminated until now, but Xiaoqiu still nodded and agreed to this invitation, because those troubles were also chances, and he couldn't complain about Mei Chuan'an's mother and son. They should be thanked.
"Okay, I'll go with you. Xiaoqiu decided that no matter what, he had to help in a critical moment, and he couldn't let Granny Mei die in vain.
The residents of the Xianrenji had a different view, in their eyes, this was equivalent to a Pangshan Taoist priest willing to help, so cheers rang out, and more and more people inside and outside the courtyard ran in and out, shouting "The Taoist priest is going to make a move".
Xiaoqiu must correct everyone's perception. Otherwise, this may cause trouble for himself again, and before he could speak, Pan Sanye had already guessed what was on his mind. With the unique loud voice of a veteran, he shouted, "Listen to me!"
The crowd was quiet.
"This seeker came to the Immortal Gathering for personal matters, and he had to abide by the rules of Pang Mountain, and he could not cast spells outside the mountain. This Granny Mei is an ancient god cult...... people, she said, can take away the wolves. Then it will be a success. Everyone brought equipment and idols and went to drive wolves together, even if they couldn't contribute. Cheer on Granny Mei too!"
The rumors of the Immortal Collection were finally changed to "Granny Mei drives wolves", but everyone still added in a whisper, "There is a young Taoist priest behind to protect you." ”
Another team of wolves was formed, larger than the one of yesterday, with fifty or sixty men, and more than half of the men were dispatched, and there were really no weapons to use, and some even held rolling pins. The women stood by the roadside to distract themselves, and many received more than one.
The statue did not show miracles yesterday, but it did not affect everyone's belief in it, and there are various explanations for that failure: the wrong posture of the hand, the lack of sincerity in the heart, and the failure to communicate with the old gods......
Walking at the front of the team with Granny Mei, Xiao Qiu felt faintly uneasy in her heart, the old woman next to her had a stubborn temperament a few years ago, and now it is even stronger, she seems to fight the wolves only out of a belief, not really have special strength. The crowd was instigated, and the awe of the Pangshan Taoist priest was gradually transferred to Granny Mei and the idol in her hand.
Pan Sanye wanted to stay at the inn to take care of the box of precious talismans and armor, Xiaoqiu asked the old woman directly, "Granny Mei, how are you going to deal with the wolves later?"
"With the power you're familiar with. Granny Mei was full of confidence and glanced up at Xiaoqiu, "I have always wanted to repay you and that girl for your kindness, and I hope to have a chance today." ”
Xiaoqiu was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, the most likely thing to happen today is that he took action to save Granny Mei's life, not to get a reward.
Granny Mei is short, but she is not slow at all, and she walks like a fly, much sharper than a few years ago.
The group walked out of the fairy gathering, followed the main road to the south, and after a few miles turned into the wilderness to the west, a young man pointed the way, "The wolves are at the foot of the mountain, they are very strange, and they will not go when they get there." ”
In addition to protecting Granny Mei, Xiaoqiu was also a little curious, whether the one-eyed black wolf in the lead would be the demon king Qi Wusupreme who had degenerated into a beast.
The night is deep, the torches illuminate the knee-high weeds and sparse trees, Xiaoqiu has not walked with so many ordinary people for a long time, in Pang Mountain, even most of the disciples of the Zhiyong Institute have opened the seven orifices, and their physique has its own peculiarities.
Autumn suddenly had the feeling that he was walking in the middle of a group of children, leading them to fight with another group of children. The estrangement between the disciples of the Dao Sect and mortals probably arose little by little, he thought.
Xiaoqiu was the first to see the situation in the distance, and whispered to Granny Mei, "There are about five miles to go." ”
Granny Mei raised the idol in her hand and said loudly, "Extinguish the torch!"
One by one, the torches were extinguished, and there was an indescribable majesty in the old woman's voice, convincing even more convincing than the strongest young man in the set.
There was no light, the progress of the team slowed down, and after walking for a while, their eyes gradually adjusted to the night, and they could see the faint mountains in the distance, and suddenly a wolf howl came, and everyone involuntarily shook and stopped.
Granny May turned around and said, "You stay here." ”
Everyone wants to be arranged like this. Hurriedly nodded.
Granny Mei nodded at Xiaoqiu, and the two continued to move forward, and after getting away from the crowd, Xiaoqiu asked, "Granny Mei, do you know that I will come to the Immortal Gathering?"
"I heard yesterday that a young Taoist priest came to the inn, I guess it might be you, but unfortunately I didn't catch up. If you don't come today, I will come to drive the wolves, but I am very happy to meet you, because you and Miss Qin, my son did not die in vain. I have never forgotten this kindness. ”
This is a sad and stubborn mother who has not forgotten her son Mei Chuan'an, and still wants to correct his name. Xiaoqiu didn't answer, because he didn't know how to sue her, it was just a low-level illusion spell that had long been stored in Zài, which belonged to the Mind Mind Department and had been abandoned for many years, and he didn't want to sue him, the spell might lead to a mysterious "real illusion" phenomenon.
The wolves felt the approach of the humans. The howls came and went, and there seemed to be hundreds of them, and Xiaoqiu saw the dense wolf eyes like fireflies from far away, and then he saw the ferocity and hunger in them.
They haven't swarmed yet. Xiaoqiu is very strange.
Granny Mei turned her head and said, "You also stop, I'll go by myself." ”
I haven't seen it for a few years, and the old woman who cooked and delivered meals to the State Guest House has a more neat and neat leadership temperament.
Xiaoqiu stopped. It's not that she was ordered, but along the way, Granny Mei is still relaxed and steady even in the weeds. Obviously different from ordinary people.
He was a little convinced that the old woman really had the ability to drive wolves, but he was still prepared, and in case of danger, he still had time to rush forward.
Most of the wolves did not move, and the nine wolves came out and slowly met the bold humans, and the leader was indeed a one-eyed black wolf.
But it is not the demon king, after Xiaoqiu Ning Dan, even if he does not use Tianmu, his eyesight is far from ordinary people, he can see it very clearly, this black wolf is bigger, and there is a faint trace of demonic energy, in contrast, the black wolf degenerated by the demon king is very ordinary.
The people on the set are right, this group of wolves is more special, under the command of the head wolf, the movement is well-founded, like a disciplined army, nine wolves face Granny Mei head-on, and more than ten wolves on both wings quietly copy back. Xiaoqiu saw it in her eyes and didn't take any measures.
Ignoring the situation on both sides, Granny May strode towards the main force of the wolves, her short and fat body looked doubly short in the grass, but the grass was not a stumbling block to her at all, and her steps grew bigger and bigger, and at last it almost looked like a big ball rolling fast.
When they were forty or fifty paces apart, the nine wolves acting as the vanguard accelerated and entered the attack state, and Xiao Qiu also slowly moved forward, and he had to ensure that he could block all the wolves with one blow.
Granny Mei held up the idol of the god high, she held the snake body, just revealing the three gods, and shouted loudly in the face of the pounced beast: "The ancient gods are here, the beasts retreat, retreat!"
The idol had no effect, the one-eyed black wolf running at the front had already jumped up, and Xiaoqiu was ready to save people.
"Scattered or weak! Scattered or weak!" the old woman said a spell, and a whirlwind suddenly blew on the quiet meadow, bringing with it a deep chill that did not belong to the twilight of spring.
Dammed May was undaunted, chanting incantations and pointing the idol in her hand at the one-eyed black wolf.
As if struck by some sharp weapon, the black wolf screamed in the air, fell to the ground, immediately got up, turned and ran, and the other wolves followed in panic.
The wolves retreated, but the old woman's spell did not stop, her voice became more and more sharp, and wherever the idol in her hand pointed, there was a gust of wind, a low crouch of grass and trees, and a wail of wolves.
Mu Xingqiu, a disciple of Pang Mountain, really saw Yi Qiqi, and what surprised him the most was not that Granny Mei really cast a spell, but that the spell she recited was wrong.
The incantation she recited aloud when she was expelled from the village a few years ago was wrong, and it has not been changed to this day, "wrong or weak Mo" was pronounced as "wrong or weak Mo", as far as Xiaoqiu knows, the mantra requires extremely high accuracy, and the slightest inaccuracy in the pronunciation will not work, let alone the two words are reversed.
But the wrong spell still works!
