"Mei'er, you are finally back. How are you? Did you catch it?" I propped up the branch and jumped down from the top of an ancient branch. I saw a white shadow flashing. No need to ask, it must be Mei'er back. Three times in a row. Oh my god, Mei'er is doing one thing in Leigong Mountain, and that is to help me catch a mandrill ghost. The so-called mandrill ghost is actually another name for mandrill, the thousand-year-old mandrill that I once encountered in the Tudi Temple of Huilong Valley. , there are many mandrills among them. They look like monkeys but are not monkeys. They are thin and have dark hair. They have a green face, a white belly, and a five or six-inch long tail hanging on their buttocks. This is the mandrill ghost. Although we encountered a lot of ghosts last time, they all appeared on their own initiative. It is easier said than done to catch them at this moment Speaking of the matter of catching the mandrill ghost this time, I don¡¯t know how long I have been frustrated. I have heard it earlier. It is said that Miao territory is a place where witchcraft flourishes. Who would have expected that after I completed most of the task, only the last "customer" has not been sent back to his hometown. There is no other reason. The hometown of this last "customer" is in Leishan County. Qili Gou on the southeastern boundary, and where I am at the moment, is still some distance away from Qili Gou, and I have to pass through at least three or four Miao villages on the way. However, in Wumang Gou, I made a big mistake. Raising voodoo is popular. In many seemingly ordinary seedling villages, there are many masters of cultivating voodoo. Raising voodoo is one of the witchcraft and voodoo techniques. The Miao people have goddesses who offer sacrifices, worship gods, raise voodoos, see doctors, tell fortunes, etc. , has a high prestige in the village. Even the most authoritative clan leader has to be afraid of one person, that is the goddess in the village, the poison cultivator. A master of cultivating voodoo does not need to get close. In some cases, he is better than me in Maoshan Technique. It¡¯s even more convenient. From a long distance, I can bewitch the other person by just mumbling a few words. I obviously fell into the trap As soon as I entered the boundary of Wumanggou, I was attacked by an unknown person. The old woman was cruel. The locals just called this old woman Bone Lady. Maybe it was because she was so skinny. I don¡¯t know. In short, she cast a very strange poison on me. Once my feet The ground, starting from the toes, to the ankles and legs, gradually began to turn green, as if grass was about to grow. The only way to curb the attack of the poison was not to stay on the ground for too long, so I stayed on the tree I've been here for almost two days and three nights Why did Bone Lady want to bewitch me? Who knows Why didn't she let me pass by here? Who knows I only know one thing. Bone Lady limited me to seven days. Help her catch a mandrill ghost and bring it to her alive and kicking. This is the only condition for detoxifying me. I was surprised. How did she know that I would be able to catch one within seven days? As for the mandrill ghost, the hunters who live in the mountains say that the mandrill ghost is called "Luo Guozi". They probably imagine the mandrill ghost as the earthly grandson who takes the blame He has to rush to Qiligou to complete the last task. I have to pass through the Wumang Valley in front of me, otherwise I will have to take another detour. But if I take a long way, I am afraid it will be delayed for a lot of time. Counting that I have spent nearly six months traveling all the way to Leishan County, the holy land of Miao territory. Months later, I still remember that last year I supported the work of the corpse exorcist alone. At that time, Master Zhang became an immortal and it was still fresh in my memory like yesterday. He was one year older and his worries also increased a lot. I was puzzled and still stood there. Meier put her hands behind her back with a smile and said with a smile: "Master, do you think I caught it?" " I frowned when I heard this, and glanced down at the green spots that were about to rise on the soles of my feet. I turned away pretending to be unhappy and said: "Anyway, I have lost all my face in front of you now. If you just left me on the tree without saying a word, what qualifications do I have to be your master and to practice the Maoshan technique? " After saying that, I smiled secretly and glanced at Mei'er secretly. Unexpectedly, Mei'er was not angry, but secretly made a face at me and handed a small "chirping" thing to me with a smile: "Master, this little thing has been restrained by my spell. It cannot move at all unless I release it. "I quickly turned my head to look at this little chirping thing. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the mandrill ghost seen in the Tutu Temple. It was exactly what I wanted. Regarding what Mei'er said, I smiled knowingly: "Now let's do it. Go meet that old lady and hope she can be saved this time. " Mei'er's voice suddenly became cold: "If we had noticed it in advance, we would not have given that old witch a chance to take advantage of her. In fact, you cultivators also dabble in the art of witchcraft and poison. Could it be that the master himself has no way to save himself. " I thought for a while, then shook my head: "There is indeed the art of witchcraft and Gu in Maoshan, but the master only mentioned it and never taught it. I just heard that a disciple secretly learned the art of witchcraft and Gu, and later used it. Techniques were used to harm people and make money, so they were expelled from the school. Therefore, as for the way of witchcraft and Gu, it must be difficult for a person who is not a virtuous and kind-hearted person to be involved in this kind of magic. "Mei'er said coldly: "That doesn't allow her to do whatever she wants and dare to do anything to her master.If she goes too far, I will make her break into pieces to pay for it. " I glanced left and right, and immediately whispered: "We came here for the first time, and we are not familiar with the place. As the saying goes, each mountain is higher than the other, so we should not be too ostentatious. " Mei'er thought for a moment, nodded slightly, her figure flashed, and instantly disappeared into the small cloth bag. " I raised my head and glanced at the crescent moon, then glanced at the surrounding vegetation, and then continued on my way. Leigong Mountain was just a distance away. Wumanggou is not far away, but it is dozens of miles away. As for the poison in my body, it will only gradually spread in a short period of time. The name of this poison is "Heart-Eating Gu", which is like a plant poison. Once When my feet touch the ground, they will absorb the energy of the earth veins, which will continue to breed in my body. It starts in my feet, and then continues to rise to the heart. As long as it reaches the heart, then I will be hopeless. If I If you can't get rid of the poison within seven days, you will also die, so I got into trouble with that mysterious bone lady, "Hey~~~~" "Amei~~~ I want you to come more often. I feel so upset that it¡¯s hard to finish half a bowl of rice. Eating is like swallowing sand, and eating wine and meat is like eating salt~~~¡± ¡°¡¡¡¡¡± ¡°Amei~~~ I want you to come to my heart more often, and eat tea and eat. I can¡¯t eat enough. Eating is like swallowing sand. Eating wine and eating meat is like taking medicine~~~¡± ¡°¡¡¡¡¡± ¡°My sister~~~ When will I sit with your family? I¡¯ll feel happy soaking rice in cold water. When will I follow you? You and your family are sitting together, and you are happy to have a meal in cold water~~~" A melodious song suddenly echoed endlessly among the mountains. There seemed to be a trace of sadness, a trace of unwillingness, a trace of sadness, and a trace of helplessness in the song I I slowly stopped and grinned towards the empty mountains. This is the folk song I sang for three consecutive nights in the dead of night after I came here. This song has no beginning as soon as I sing it. It won't stop until dawn. I couldn't understand it at first, but the more I listened, the more I understood it. The person singing this song looked like a young man struggling in love, facing the mountains. There must be another place in the mountains that tells the truth. There must be a girl who is suitable for the occasion. But why does this young man who sings folk songs keep singing like this without confessing directly? Since it is midnight If he can shout loudly and disturb the peace of the people, he must not be afraid of people knowing. Since he is not afraid, why not go directly to the girl in his heart? I can¡¯t figure it out, I can¡¯t figure out the wedding customs here, so I had to smile bitterly and walked into Wumanggou. , Most of the people living in this village are scattered, and there are also many people living together in groups, just like villages in other places. When I came here, I heard from the locals that most of the people living scattered are mature seedlings, while those that are rarely seen in clusters are raw seedlings. Miao, the so-called mature Miao, although they wear Miao clothes and speak the Miao language, their way of thinking and living habits are not much different from the Han people. The raw Miao are different. They generally live deep in the mountains and have less contact with the Han people. , don¡¯t understand much of the Han language, and still continue the living habits of the Miao people, which can also be said to be closer to the original Miao people. Most of the mystery of the Miao people comes from the people who keep the poison, that is, the art of witchcraft. In fact, there are more witchcraft The purpose is to save people in danger. The reason why the goddesses in the Miao village are respected by the locals is that they have a compassionate heart. Of course, there are good and evil everywhere. As for the goddesses they are scattered outside. One resident, although she lives abroad, rarely interacts with others, even her neighbors. It is difficult to see her a few times throughout the year. Most of the time, she is shut up at home alone, not knowing what she is doing. What, of course, no one dared to approach her door, just because she is a weird goddess. These things were all told to me by a middle-aged man surnamed Li, a neighbor of Gu Granny. The middle-aged man is two The couple has lived here for more than ten years with their one and a half-year-old son. When I said this, I had already been poisoned by poison. It happened that Brother Li was out hunting and saw me, which made me experience the mysterious things of some people who raise poison. He also said that few people can cure the poison caused by Mrs. Gu. However, there are people who have been poisoned and come to her. As long as she is willing to help, there is no problem that cannot be cured. Therefore, people here respect and fear her. , When I came to Mrs. Gu¡¯s courtyard, the door was not locked. I opened it with a slight push. I was inexplicably poisoned. When I look at Mrs. Gu¡¯s small courtyard now, it seems a little scary and dark. Under the bright light, I caught a glimpse of the old lady¡¯s door. Strangely, her door was also open. I felt a little uneasy and even more uneasy. The mysterious and weird temperament of this old lady was really disturbing. I can't figure it out, maybe she has figured out that I'm coming to do business at this moment. The moment I slowly approached the door, a yellow kerosene lamp suddenly lit up in the room.
