The story told by the little pangolin, which happened more than 20 years ago, was touching and wonderful, but it also reminded Uncle Teng of another incident that happened in the past.

Uncle Teng knew a lot of witch masters in Miao Jiang, and these witch masters had other Miao factions and other branches within their own faction. There are very few exchanges between witch masters, one is that most witch masters like to go alone and practice secretly, and the other is that some witch masters often have fights and disputes between each other, so if they can do less, they will have one less thing, and if they can not come and go, they will not interact.

Among these witch masters that Uncle Teng knew, there was a witch master named "Magu" who was proficient in Gu art and had good strength, and belonged to the Hua Miao clan. That is, more than 20 years ago, Uncle Teng heard that this "Magu" was broken by someone, and later married a beautiful woman surnamed Bai as his wife. Since Magu was in his fifties at the time, I heard that the beautiful wife he married was just a young woman, which was not a small news among the Miao Jiang Witch Gu Masters.

Because witch masters are obsessed with witchcraft, they generally devote themselves to the research and application of magic, and witch masters are generally also the elders of Miao Zhai or the elders of the clan, and few will marry young women after the age of fifty. Uncle Teng was very impressed by Magu's matter, and he was thinking at the time, who would have the ability to break Magu's leg, and why would that beautiful woman surnamed Bai marry Magu.

This incident was gradually forgotten by Uncle Teng. Suddenly, listening to the little pangolin tell the story of the white peacock, it reminded him of the incident of Magu 20 years ago. In both stories, there is a sorcerer character with a broken leg, could it be a person? Otherwise, it can't be such a coincidence. The more Uncle Teng thought about it, the more strange he felt, because he knew the Miao village where Magu lived, he decided to go to Magu in person, but to see if Magu's wife surnamed Bai was weird.

In his book "Mountain Peoples", the famous Australian historian Geddes said: "There are two calamitous and tenacious peoples in the world, one of which is the Jewish people, scattered all over the world, and the other is the Miao people in southwest China. The survival and development of these two peoples depended almost entirely on war and migration.

There is an ancient Miao village called Basha Miao Village in the southeast of Guizhou, this Miao Village is the only one of the gunner tribes in the country so far, the men here have a bun on their heads, wear copper buckles and blue and black cloth clothes, and the lower body is also a straight blue and black cloth trouser tube. The Basha Miao openly claim to be the descendants of Chiyou, who were exiled here because of the defeat of their ancestors, and are still carrying guns and roaming around. The Miao people of the Basha tribe have sharp and fierce eyes like eagles and falcons, and the tribesmen are still martial and aggressive, and the ancient relics still exist. The Basha Miao people revere the gods and believe that the souls of their ancestors are hidden in the vast forests of Moon Mountain.

Basha Miao perennial maintenance of this strong sense of prevention has formed an independent development trend isolated from the outside world, the tribal village can still see the slash-and-burn way of life and the unique custom of totem worship, although the people here are not tall, but all of them are like Qing Dynasty warriors, waist with waist knife, shoulder gun, even children will hang scimitars to parade the mountains and forests.

Uncle Teng brought Yin An and the little pangolin to Basha Miao Village. According to Mr. Teng, Bazaar Miao Village has always had little contact with the outside world, and they believe that they are the only descendants of Chiyou with the purest blood, and they have always maintained the highest worship of their ancestors. In addition, the witchcraft they master is also different from that mastered by other witchcrafters, in addition to the use of worms, Bazaar witches are especially good at witchcraft on plants and trees, and in the eyes of the Basha Miao people, the tree god is the god of nature who is most closely related to them.

Magu, who had broken his leg, lived in Basha Miao Village and was an elder in the village, now in his seventies. When Uncle Teng found him, this originally powerful sorcerer was smoking a pipe on a wooden chair outside the house!

Uncle Teng's arrival surprised Magu very much, and in the face of this sudden visitor he had met in the past, Magu couldn't figure out the other party's intention. There was no enmity between him and Uncle Teng, and he almost completely faded out of the circle of witches after breaking his left leg twenty years ago, and has been living a dull life since then.

"Lao Ma, it's not a tribute to take the liberty of visiting, this is some of the best herbs I have collected, please laugh at it. Uncle Teng motioned for Yin An to bring some of the mountain rare grasses he had brought to Magu. Uncle Teng knew that although Magu had long since faded out of the witch circle, as a witch master who had practiced for many years, he was not unmoved by strange herbs, and the reason why he did this was to hope to win more Magu's favor, so that the other party could try to cooperate and tell the truth.

"Lao Teng, what are you doing, I have always been useless, I can't afford these gifts of yours. Magu is not a greedy character, he is used to seeing the changes of the world and the sophistication of human feelings, and he has seen that the other party's intentions are not simple.

"Lao Ma, look at you, you were also acquainted back then, and I came to see you today, so don't see me. Uncle Teng said, commanding Yin An to bring the gifts into the house.

"Lao Teng, don't go around the bend between you and me, you must have something to do today, it's better to get straight to the point. Ma Gu saw that Yin An had already taken something and walked into the house, and it was futile to stop him, so he simply asked Uncle Teng straight to the point.

"Okay, Lao Ma, since you say so, I'll tell you the truth, I came this time, in fact, I want to ask your lady about something. ”

Hearing this, Magu's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his pupils contracted again after a rapid dilation in an instant. After this subtle reaction was seen by Uncle Teng, he immediately realized that there was a huge shock in Magu's heart.

Ma Gu's expression changed from calm to serious, he slowly turned his head and stared at Uncle Teng slowly and said: "Old Teng, I have been living a peaceful and comfortable life for more than 20 years, and I can be considered to understand the true meaning of life, and I also know that only my wife and family are my greatest happiness and dependence. In the past 20 years, I have nothing to do with the previous things at all, and there are no old grudges between you and me, and I am living a good life now. But who dares to break my peace, although I am basically a wasted person, there will naturally be people who stand up for me. ”

Maku's meaning is very clear, he doesn't want anyone to disturb his peaceful life now, and if someone affects the peace of his family, then the other party will not have good fruit to eat. Magu with a broken leg has a resolute expression, and his determination to protect his family is obvious, thinking that back then, Magu was famous for his bravery, righteousness, and wealth, although he is now old and disabled, but he will not succumb to weakness at all when he does things and speaks.

"Lao Ma, don't be careful, I don't have any malicious intentions, so let's listen to my intentions first, and I'll tell you slowly. Uncle Teng patiently told Magu the ins and outs of the matter, including the before and after encountering zombies.

After hearing Uncle Teng's narration, Magu caused countless waves in his heart. Thinking that back then, he thought that no one knew about saving the white peacock except himself, but he didn't expect that so many years had passed, and this surnamed Teng not only knew about the rescue of the white peacock back then, but also knew that the white peacock left the Linglong Demon World and married him. Looking at the little pangolin in the bamboo basket behind Uncle Teng, Magu was in a state of confusion, if this big secret was passed on, I don't know how much trouble it would bring to himself and the current family.

After pondering for a moment, Magu said to Uncle Teng: "Old Teng, since you know about my affairs, what are you going to do?"

"Lao Ma, if I didn't happen to save this little pangolin spirit, I wouldn't know about these things, I swear that only me and my son A'an know about this matter at present, and my father and son will never do anything to be sorry for you, I can swear to my ancestors and ancestors to prove this, so please rest assured." The reason why I came to you today is that I want to ask from your lady for advice on the path to send the pangolin back, and secondly, I hope that I can find the relics of my ancestors from the exquisite demon world that my generation has dreamed of for a long time, I think, you can understand my feelings. After Uncle Teng said frankly, he immediately swore an oath to guarantee that as long as Magu was alive, he and his righteous son would not do anything to be sorry for Magu, otherwise they would not be allowed to be the ancestors of heaven and earth.

In Miaojiang, for the sorcerer, the oath is a guarantee of great credibility, and the sorcerer has always respected the ancestors and nature, and he has been particularly scrupulous in his oath. After hearing Uncle Teng's oath, Magu's originally worried heart was relaxed.

"The Chiyou relics in the Linglong Demon Realm are the final wish of all Miao witch Gu masters for thousands of years, after so many years, there are few people who still fantasize about finding the Linglong Demon Realm and the holy relics inside, I didn't expect you to give up. Lao Teng, I understand your expectations, what that holy relic means to us, but unfortunately, Lao Teng, we may not be able to find that relic. Magu shook his head slightly and said to Uncle Teng.

"Why is that?" asked Uncle Teng hurriedly.

"As far as I know, first, the relics of the ancestor Chiyou may not be in the Linglong Demon Realm, and second, the Linglong Demon Realm has now completely forbidden humans to step into it. Magu said.

"Ah, hasn't anyone gone in before?"

"Well, that's what I've heard from insiders. It is said that because later, some people in the demon path who had coveted the Linglong demon world for a long time broke into the Linglong demon world and caused chaos in the demon world. In addition, my insider said that even before the Linglong Demon Realm was closed, she had never heard of the Chiyou relics inside. Magu said.

After a short silence, Uncle Teng said: "Old Ma, I have been looking for the Linglong Demon Realm for so many years, no matter what, I also want to try to see if I can explore the Demon Realm, or I want to ask your lady to show us the way." ”

"Well, well, since you are so insistent, I won't say more. But the inner man went out just now, and when she comes back later, we'll discuss it again. Magu said.

Outside Magu's house, Uncle Teng sat on a wooden bench chatting with Magu while waiting for Mrs. Bai to return. The two of them talked about the past and the past over the years, and they couldn't help but sigh at the rush of the years.

"That's right, Lao Ma, people always say, 'Only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals', this white peacock has left the demon world and stayed with you for so many years, I see that you are enjoying your little life now. Uncle Teng said with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, you have no family and no wife, and you can't feel the joy of family in this world, how can I say it, because I lost a leg and suffered a great loss in cultivation, my lifelong pursuit of the witch master - the great wizard has been completely shattered. I think I even had the intention of hanging myself at the beginning, and thanks to the care and understanding of the white peacock, I was pulled back from the abyss of despair, not to mention, she is still my lover. When Magu talked about the white peacock, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a little warmth.

"Hearing you say that, I really want to hear your story so I can tell it to me. "Uncle Teng also likes to listen to stories.

"Hey, this one. How to say, it's all fate...... When Magu talked about the past, he was still a little shy. Listed as a magistrate, this kind of thing may be arranged in the dark, do you believe it, and listen to the story of Magu first.
