Chapter 8 The Mysterious Man's Visit
Roshish thought for a moment and said anxiously: "The patriarch is my father. It might be better to let me do the task of informing this matter."
"No." I immediately stopped him and said, "Grandma Liu's death is of great importance. Your words may not convince your father. Besides, you are still in trouble now. You have no say in the village. The only one who is most suitable to say this is Lan Caoer. She is Grandma Liu's disciple. Although she is a slight person, her words are enough to convince the patriarch in the village. Only by letting her convince the patriarch can this matter be properly concealed."
Lancaoer focused: "Mr. Cao'er remembers the order from him. I will go to the patriarch to talk about this matter now, but... I am worried that I can't control the situation."
I comforted me: "You just do your best. As the saying goes, you will leave your destiny. Now you can only do this. If the clan leader follows you later, we will meet at Grandma Liu's residence, go..."
"Um."
Watching Lancao'er leave, I turned around and looked at the body of Gu Pozi again, immediately pulled Luo Shishi out of the room, and asked, "Now you can tell the situation in Fangzhaigou."
Roshish grabbed the back of his head and said...
Originally, Fangzhaigou and Wumanggou were two very friendly Miao villages. They were the first tribe leaders of both sides, which are the ancestors of the current tribe. The two ancestors went to the mountains to hunt together, but they got lost in the mountains. The ancestors of Fangzhaigou accidentally fell into the cave and were almost eaten by the wild beasts inside. The ancestors of Wumanggou rushed to rescue Fangzhaigou's ancestors, but soon, the two were surrounded by a group of wild wolves. The exhausted two chose to jump off the cliff. The two who survived the disaster were rescued by Baishuihe.
On the bank of the river, the two were unconscious for three days and two nights. The first one to wake up was the ancestors of Fangzhaigou. In order to protect the ancestors of Wumanggou who were still unconscious, he kept moving. Until the ancestors of Wumanggou woke up the next day, when the two men supported each other and returned to the village, they formed a deep friendship.
The children of the two ancestors got married soon. From then on, the two villages were as close as the same village. When they arrived at the time of the flowers, the two villages gathered together. Men, women, young and old went to participate. Young men and women carried bags and opened and changed their clothes near the flower field. The man brought a reed selves, piccolos, and stringed zithers. The woman wore flower backs and various silver jewelry.
When dancing flowers, a man dances around the flower tree with his mouth. A woman stands far away and looks at him, or plays a harmonica or sings softly. Men and women are blissful and will only disperse until the evening. Dance of flowers is a custom in the Miao people. I wish you good weather and good harvests.
Decades later, the two ancestors died. Before they died, they asked them to be buried near the borders of the two villages to show that friendship remains unchanged forever. However, after only a few decades, the relationship between the two villages suddenly changed.
It is said that the priest of Fangzhaigou (i.e., the witch) told the new patriarch that he had buried his ancestors elsewhere. As a result, when he was relocated, he accidentally cut the coffin of Wumanggou. The priest of Wumanggou asked the priest of Fangzhaigou to perform a memorial service for him to comfort the undead of his ancestors. However, the priest of Fangzhaigou flatly refused, which caused the root of the grudges of the two villages...
After many years, the grudges between Wumanggou and Fangzhaigou have accumulated deeper and deeper, and it has not been able to be changed today. In fact, after all, the priest in the village is the real competition.
Hearing this, I thought for a while and said, "Then you can recognize Luo Yepo from Fangzhaigou."
Luo Shish nodded without hesitation: "Well, she is the priest of Fangzhaigou now, but I have never seen her. She is usually more mysterious than Grandma Liu. Most of the people who have seen her true face are older generations in the village. Brother, if Luo Yepo is willing to let Luo Yepo say something, it will be much easier to resolve the grudges between the two villages."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have that ability. I have no clue at the moment. Let's take a step first..."
Before dawn, we hurried to Grandma Liu's residence. Now we have confirmed part of Grandma Liu's words. I have to face reality, but after facing it, I found that reality will only make people more confused.
In front of Grandma Liu's courtyard, I looked at the dark yard through the flowers and plants around me. Soon, my eyes were closely on a broken flower and grass in front of the yard. No one dared to step in this road from beginning to end. The reason was that it seemed ordinary flowers and plants, but in fact, there were dozens of poisonous insects raised in it. Most people dared not touch it, let alone walk from above, but those flowers and plants were obviously destroyed, and the situation was wrong.
Roshish was about to walk forward, but I grabbed it in time and said, "You find a place to hide it first. Once Lancaoer and the clan leader come and don't see me coming out, you must not let them walk in."
"Why,."
I didn't have time to explain to Roshish, so I threw a casual sentence: "Someone broke in, but the visitors were not good. I'll go in and investigate first, remember what I said."
After saying that, my figure shook and a clear breeze step appeared under my feet. Now this clear breeze step has reached a pure level. If Master Li Zhengfu was here, I wonder if he could compete with him... I came to the gate of the courtyard in the blink of an eye. I reached out to push the door, but I saw that the gate was slightly staggered. I remember when I walked away, Lancaoer was obviously locked, but why did he...
Now a mysterious person appeared out of thin air. Not only did he kill Gu Wu Zi silently, but he also let Grandma Liu return to Jiuyou. With such a powerful opponent, I can't drag it out anymore. I flipped my hand and pulled out the evil sword and walked into the yard step by step carefully.
Everything in the yard was as I saw for the first time, and there was no change. It seemed that this place was not a thief, but it must be a master.
What caught my eye was Grandma Liu's room, and at this moment, the door was open, this... This made me more sure of my thoughts. The visitor went straight to Grandma Liu's room, and did not attempt to have the precious medicinal materials in the yard. What could be done in this way must be Grandma Liu's old acquaintance. Since he could destroy the flowers and plants in front of the yard so unscrupulously, and even break into Grandma Liu's room, the visitor had no ability and had to have a head greater than his life.
"call."
Just as my left foot stepped onto the first stone steps in front of the door, a sudden black wind mixed with a strong smelly smell blew out towards me. My face changed drastically. I quickly took a few steps back and waved the evil sword in front of me. Fortunately, I pulled out to protect the evil sword in time. Otherwise, at this critical moment, I would have taken the tragedy, and even the most yang thing, and a sharp weapon to kill demons and subdue demons. The sword body naturally burst into a sensation of energy, which shook the smelly black wind that was blowing. Then, a cold and surprising sound came from the room.
"Hey, what's that thing?"
The voice was a little old, but very hoarse, like the voice of an old woman, but I can certainly not be resurrected by Grandma Liu, because Grandma Liu's voice had nothing to do with this person's voice. So who would this person be? Could it be that the murderer who killed the Gun Woman and Grandma Liu,
Thinking of this, my pores suddenly tightened, but soon I gave up the idea in my heart. The people who killed Bone Woman and Grandma Liu were not only proficient in the Five Elements Art, but also had a deep set of skills. If that person attacked me, I could not guarantee that I could catch the evil sword. It was not because there was a problem with the evil sword, but my Taoism was far inferior to that person.
At this moment, the mysterious man in the room, her attack just now looked like a method of raising a gu man. The fishy smell in the black wind was like the smell emitted by a poisonous insect, and it was not very powerful. After thinking about it, I calmed down and took the sword forward two steps.
"Young man, you really have a chance. I underestimated you, haha."
The same laughter, but the mysterious old woman in the room made me feel goose bumps when she smiled, and I felt a little bit like the wild** I encountered in the underworld. The person inside probably laughed like this.
I sneered: "It's not your turn to talk about it for a while. There is one thing, who are you and why did you break into Grandma Liu's residence."
"Haha~~~You exudes the righteousness of the Xuanmen. Although... it is also certain that you are a Taoist sect. If I, the lonely old woman, said it well, you should be a Maoshan disciple, right?"
"Yeah." I frowned. Who was in the room? I could determine where I came from by sensing. My mood was a little confused. I said anxiously: "Who are you? Don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless if you don't say it."
"Hmph, so what if you are a disciple of Maoshan? I still feel that there is more than one kind of poison in your body, and it is also an adult poison. If I don't touch you, you will die sooner or later because of the poison. It's okay to tell you that I am the priest of Fangzhaigou, Luo Yepo."
"Ah." I looked shocked: "It turned out to be you, you... you knew that Grandma Liu would die today, so you came here not to pay tribute to Grandma Liu, but to have other purposes."
"Haha~~~ Of course I'm not here to pay tribute to this dead woman. She has been doing the right thing with me for decades. I never thought that she would die if she said she would die. I came here today just to see her ugly face after her death. At that time, she was a great beauty that everyone in the village was jealous of. What is she now? She is not a bunch of stinky bones."
It turned out that Luo Yepo came here in the middle of the night and was just humiliating Grandma Liu's body. This Luo Yepo is really not a good thing.
If such a priest was asked to help her resolve the grudges between the two villages, it would be as difficult as heaven. Besides, before Grandma Liu died, she told me clearly that only Luo Yepo's natal ice silkworm Gu could completely resolve the two poisons in my body. But in this situation, I don't even have room for conversation, which really made me face a big problem.
When I thought that my life still needs the sarcastic Luo Yepo's treatment, I reluctantly relaxed my tone: "You have nothing else to do if you come here except to see Grandma Liu."
"Oh, what you mean is that I will let me dissolve the poison in your body. Humph, I guess this is also the one who sets up a plan before dying, so that you can use your Maoshan disciple to fight with me Luo Yepo. If this is the case, I will disappoint Liu Xinlan...Young man, you don't have to worry about how I can help you resolve the poison. Now we don't know each other, and it's best if there is no relationship. However, I will not help you remove the poison. As for whether you are alive or dead, it has nothing to do with me."
"call."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow rushed out of the door like lightning and appeared on the roof. Luo Yepo was wearing a black cloak. In addition, the distance was far, I couldn't see her face clearly.
"I advise you to leave here as soon as possible. The great disaster of Wumanggou is coming. If you stay here for a long time, you will only cause trouble. Our well water will not violate the river water, but if you don't know how to advance or retreat, don't blame me Luo Yepo for being polite..."
Before the words were finished, Luo Yepo's figure disappeared on the roof, but her voice circulated in my mind for a long time and could not be removed...
