The villagers didn't dare to get too close to Yunqing, and they were skeptical of this crazy old woman, but everyone had the desire to watch the excitement.
"You don't even let such a small child go, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The old woman cried, holding the child's clothes in her hands, and her voice was so sad that it hurt people's hearts.
Yun Qing smiled softly, fiddled with the rosary slowly, and watched her crying on the ground without saying a word. This made the people around feel chills when they saw it. They thought that the monk didn't explain or refute, so what was the meaning of just smiling like that
"Evil, evil! If you kill my child, you will definitely die!" The old woman's words became more and more unobstructed. Her eyes were red, her hair was disheveled, and she fell into a state of madness.
Yun Qing raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing the words of "Nie Yi", she smiled lightly and said, "Where's the corpse?"
The old woman's voice fell silent for a moment, but immediately began to cry again.
"This benefactor, please think carefully... where did the child's body go?" Yun Qing's voice passed through the noisy discussion and the crying of the old woman, and sprinkled in the clear air.
"You killed my child, shouldn't you be the one who knows the most about this!?" The old woman shouted at Yun Qing without fear, "I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, it was this demon monk who strangled my child to death! !"
To everyone's surprise, Yun Qing nodded, and she said: "I really know where the corpse is."
"Also, please ask the monk to talk about it." Some onlookers stammered and urged.
Yun Qing stood on the spot, raised her Zen stick, and the people around immediately dispersed far away. She tapped the old woman's belly lightly with her Zen stick, and said, "I never thought that the old man's teeth are so good. How did the meat porridge taste last night?"
When the old woman was touched by Yun Qing's Zen stick, she suddenly became quiet like a poisonous snake being pinched seven inches, and the surrounding herdsmen also fell into a deathly silence. They heard some terrible facts from these words.
"You also emptied the lamb corpse in the sheep pen a few days ago? I warned you last night that the wicked will eventually reap their own consequences. Can you feel the corpse worm slowly wriggling in the abdominal cavity?"
Yun Qing came closer, and bent down in front of the limp old woman, she sniffed the breath around her, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to practice when you're old, so why do you make troubles?"
The old woman opened her mouth wide and her eyes were about to pop out, but when she was touched by the Zen stick, she couldn't lift her body up.
Yun Qing felt that the smell of corruption in the air was getting stronger and stronger, and even the herdsmen around could smell it, and many of them covered their noses and hid away. Seeing this, she let go of the old woman's suppression with the Zen stick, only to hear a heart-piercing scream.
"Sang'er!! My sonny! Mother hurts so much! Come and save mother!"
The old woman was writhing on the ground in pain, her abdomen was constantly bulging, as if something was about to come out. Whenever the people around had seen such a scene, they were all terrified, and ran to get farm tools to defend themselves.
"Sonny, Sonny! Sonny, Sonny! Now, my mother and you will never be separated again!"
"Sang'er! Come back to life, come back to life from your mother's belly!!"
Yun Qing looked at her coldly, and stepped back a little. The old woman's fingertips were stiffly bent towards her, and they dug into the soil with force, the nails were lifted, and her hands were covered with blood. She used the breath of Buddhism and Taoism on the Zen stick to touch the old woman's belly, and the countless parasitic corpses in the old woman's body were stimulated by this natural restraining breath, and they were in a mess for an instant. And this old woman doesn't seem to know how to appease these corpse insects, if it continues in such a mess, it will only be eaten up by the corpse insects from the inside.
The old woman's howling could not tell whether it was joy or pain. She rolled and shouted for a long time, and suddenly let out a high-pitched and hoarse dying sound.
"Ah!!"
After the old woman yelled this sentence, her body became stiff, clasped the ground with one hand, covered her belly with the other, and threw herself on the ground motionless.
Yun Qing turned her body over with her Zen stick, and the herdsmen around her vomited from time to time.
Her abdomen was like a ripe and bursting fruit, turned over from the inside, and dense black flying insects crawled out of the abdominal cavity. Some of these insects are still pupae, and some have opened their slender wings to fly.
Yun Qing picked up a handful of sand from the ground, and quickly threw it on the old woman's stomach before the bugs ran out, chanting the Great Light Mantra incessantly.
As soon as the black flying insects were buried by the fine sand, they turned into black smoke and disappeared.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has prayed for this female benefactor. Please bury her." Yun Qing let go of the rosary and clasped her hands together.
This old woman is indeed out of her mind.
Yun Qing had known for a long time that the child picked up in the snow would not live long, and she also knew how difficult it is to support a sick child these days, but she still handed the child into the hands of the old woman. Because she still cared a lot about the old woman's smell, a faint smell of decay concealed by human anger.
This is simply too similar to Yu Tu back then.
But after that, the crazy old woman didn't do anything to the child, and secretly got him a lamb from the sheepfold. When Yun Qing saw the lamb, she was sure that the old woman and Yu Tu practiced the same method, but she seemed to only understand the part of controlling corpse insects, which was much worse than Yu Tu.
People's hearts are always difficult to understand, Yun Qing thought that the crazy old woman really wanted to take care of the child, but she didn't expect that something happened before she left. In a trance, she stewed the child into meat porridge, but even after finding out that the child was missing, she even identified Yun Qing as the murderer.
Thinking about it now, Yun Qing felt that it was not incomprehensible that she was insane. This old woman has no aptitude for cultivating Taoism at all, her spiritual platform is filthy, and her body is riddled with holes. If she forcibly learns some evil ways, she will easily get lost in various Taoism methods, go crazy, and finally suffer backlash and eat her child.
Not only the evil methods, but even the orthodox in the Holy Land are often hard to escape from the harm of insanity. If the state of mind is not enough, you can't comprehend the Dao forcibly, otherwise the deviation in the middle may make people regret it for the rest of their lives. This is also the reason why all the direct descendants of the Holy Land have to go through countless assessments before they dare to pass on. If the passed down is not human, the disaster left in the future will not be as simple as a tortellini stewing porridge.
Yun Qing found a relatively calm young man among the herdsmen, walked up to him and asked, "This female benefactor has unfortunately been disturbed by evil ways. The poor monk is willing to help the ranch get rid of the troubles. I wonder if you can tell the poor monk about this. The daily affairs of the benefactor?"
The young man was startled, his face was a little pale, but he still answered honestly: "The crazy old lady has never been out of the ranch, and I don't know where she learned the sorcery..."
"Who said you've never been out of the ranch?" a dark woman nearby exclaimed.
Yun Qing looked at the woman, and said softly, "Oh? I don't know what she did when she went out?"
"I went to the conversion ceremony in your temple two years ago, and I felt even more crazy when I came back. At that time, we all moved to a place further south to graze. The old woman was alone, and no one wanted to take her with her, so she I stayed by myself. I usually see her really lonely, so I often chat with her, and only then did I know that she has actually been to Guiling Temple in Daxue Mountain!"
Yun Qing frowned, and thanked, "Did she mention the things on this journey?"
The woman shook her head and said, "She spoke very confusedly. I only understood the part of the conversion ceremony, and I didn't understand much of the rest."
"It's so far away from Guiling Temple, how did she find it?" Yun Qing felt that there were more and more doubts about this matter. Yutu at the very beginning, the person who manipulated the rotting corpses to attack her a month ago, and the crazy old lady in front of her, it seems that Xiexiu has never hidden his existence on this prairie.
Yu Tu is the elder of the Walking Corpse Sect, and the person who manipulated the walking corpse to attack her is probably a cultivator who has already entered the Tao, but this crazy old lady is just an ordinary person. It seems that most of her problems were related to the conversion ceremony. If she had entered an evil way before participating in the ceremony, it is impossible for Guiling Temple to be unaware of it. Probably something went wrong on her way back from Guiling Temple.
"This... I don't know anymore." The woman's face was dark and she couldn't answer.
Yun Qing raised her hand to cover her eyes, and began to run the heavenly book, following the cause and effect with this woman to penetrate it bit by bit.
"I thought it was too simple..." After a long time, Yun Qing slowly put down her hands, sighing silently in her heart.
This point of cause and effect is completely cut off, no matter how deep you go, you can't see anything.
With her current cultivation, even if she doesn't need to use the source of vitality to run the heavenly book, she should be able to count on this kind of ordinary old lady, but she can't see the secret in it. Someone must have taken action to cover up the mysteries of these evil cultivators, and to be able to hide the treasure of heaven and earth like the Book of Heaven, the opponent's strength must be at least close to the level of Dajing Guoshi.
There may be an off-screen person standing behind the opponent.
In Yun Qing's mind, there is another part of the division of power in the Northwest Prairie. In addition to Mianfenglang and Guiling Temple, there is also a mysterious power. For some purpose, they spread this kind of human-eating heresy, but so far, the two holy places have been hidden by heavenly secrets and have not responded.
While thinking about how to find a breakthrough from these three forces, she walked towards the old woman's cabin.
Although some things can escape the infiltration of the heavenly scriptures, those solid physical evidences cannot escape with long legs. Since you can't directly use the heavenly book to find out why, then looking through it in this old woman's hut, you might get something else.
Sure enough, Yun Qing found half a piece of coarse cloth from under the stove, on which a few simple strokes were drawn with carbon strips. The shape of the northwest plateau can be vaguely seen, and the outlined place just extends from Xinshui Ranch to Guiling Temple. It's a pity that half of the cloth was burned, and it stopped when it was not far from Guiling Temple.
The black magic flame rose from Yun Qing's hand, and burned the remaining cloth strips.
This time, her return route basically coincides with the one on the cloth strip. I'm afraid that she will meet this group of people during this short journey, but Yun Qing doesn't plan to change the route.
Now it's an eventful time, and the presence of evil cultivators makes the already chaotic situation even more difficult to predict. And Yun Qing's idea of taking away the concept of the Lotus Heart Void from Guiling Temple requires a seamless plan, and there is no room for variables.
Furthermore, since there is an off-screen person behind the evil cultivator, does it mean that the other party has an inheritance that can obtain the Tao? To participate in the way of the world, to understand the law of the world, the avenue that Yun Qing has been thinking about may be here, and she might take risks for it.
She doesn't know what's in front of her, but if she doesn't go around and look around, she really won't know for the rest of her life, and this kind of ignorance is absolutely unbearable for Yun Qing. She and Tianshu can be said to complement each other perfectly.
