And with this commotion, most people in the village knew that the treasure that the Li people gave to the old village chief was stolen.
But there is no second village within a hundred miles of this aquatic village, so who could the thief be? Must be from the village!
This is something everyone understands.
Next, several sons of the village chief each led people to start searching in the village. Because the Ministry of Assassination said that the medicinal effect of this water ganoderma is so strong that ordinary people cannot bear it, so it must be taken in batches.
So the thief who stole the water ganoderma must have finished the water ganoderma, but whether he can find it... To be honest, even the village chief's sons are not confident.
This aquatic village is so big that thieves only need to hide Shui Lingzhi in a secluded place, and no one will be able to find it. But in order to reassure the old father, they had to bite the bullet and search the village.
This kind of search is actually very disturbing to the people. Fortunately, the old village chief has a high prestige, and the villagers are willing to cooperate with the search. Although a few sons led people to search, the folks in the big hometown would not be too domineering, so this search can almost be said to be a cutscene.
When a girl named Xiao Ai went out with a wooden tub, she saw this scene - the village's son had just searched Aunt Wang's house next door, and was saying goodbye to Aunt Wang with a smile.
Seeing Xiao Ai coming out with a wooden tub, everyone quickly greeted with a smile, "Xiao Ai, go out to wash clothes?"
"Well," the little girl nodded, glanced at everyone, and said, "Uncle Liu, you should also go to my house to have a look. Maybe the thief hid something in my house."
A few adults quickly waved their hands to refuse, "No, no, we'll just go to the next one."
Search this little girl's house? I'm afraid I'm tired of living. Who else in Shuisheng Village dares to offend this little girl
But Xiao Ai insisted, "You still have to do a search, and search carefully. It's impossible to check all the houses in the village, but only the house of my uncle's house has not been checked... Please uncles."
The little girl asked her seriously, making everyone look at each other in dismay. But when Xiao Ai said so, they had no choice but to nod.
"Okay, we'll check it out. Xiaoai, don't worry, just walk through the scene. If you want to do the laundry, just go and leave the rest to us."
"Well," the little girl nodded, didn't stop, and left directly with the wooden tub.
As for whether this group of people could find Shui Lingzhi at home, she did not hold out hope. In other words, everyone knows that this water ganoderma is estimated to be impossible to find.
It's just that the houses in the whole village have been searched. If no one has searched his own house, there will be rumors in the future. So the little girl insisted that the adults search it again.
Seeing that several adults entered the house, the little girl left with a wooden basin and walked towards the river outside the village.
Today's weather is very good, suitable for washing clothes. When Xiao Ai arrived by the river, there were already many women doing laundry and chatting by the river, and the laughter of rural women could be heard from a distance.
However, Xiao Ai did not walk towards them, but walked to a relatively remote river bay with a wooden basin, and silently put down the wooden basin.
She doesn't like being busy, and she's the only one around here. I went back after washing my clothes, not wanting to join in the fun.
However, after putting down the wooden basin, the girl rummaged through the clothes in the basin, but was stunned.
Don't have a pestle
She was a little surprised, and rummaged again to confirm that there was indeed only her dirty clothes in the tub. It seems that he was busy picking up dirty clothes when he went out, and he didn't bring the pestle with him.
Hey... I can only go back and get it.
The girl sighed silently, put down the wooden basin, turned and walked towards the village. Although it would take a long time to come and go, she wouldn't be able to wash her clothes without a pestle.
Hurry up, I have to cook medicine for my brother at noon.
The girl thought so in her heart, her pace couldn't help being much faster. When she walked through the village and came back to the vicinity of the house, she saw from a distance that the adults who had finished the house search were walking out of their house, and it seemed that there was no result.
The girl was not surprised by this, and continued to walk towards the uncle's house.
Her steps were not fast and light, and when she entered the fenced yard, she saw that the door of the shingle house was closed. It's just that the sound insulation of the shingle house is very poor. Xiao Ai, who just walked into the yard, happened to hear her brother's hoarse voice in the house.
"Hmph... A bunch of idiots, still want to get Shui Lingzhi back? For mortals like you, it's a waste to eat it!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, then stopped subconsciously, and even her breathing slowed down a lot.
It was indeed his brother's voice that sounded in the room. Although he was much more hoarse and hoarse, and his tone of voice was completely different from his cousin's, this voice was indeed his brother's.
But my brother is talking about Shui Lingzhi? Could it be that he stole Shui Lingzhi
Xiao Ai was slightly startled, but she heard a low, painful neigh from the younger brother in the room.
"Hi... It hurts... Goddamn uncle Jie, I won't let you go. When I absorb the medicinal power of this water ganoderma and heal the wound, hum!"
Inside the room, the cousin seemed to be suffering, and from time to time he made a painful low hissing sound.
The little girl outside the house was already pale and understood something.
Uncle Jie... Isn't that the name of Master Wu Zhu
After Master Wu Zhu left, everyone thought that the demon was not in the village, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But I didn't expect that it was Master Wu Zhu who made a mistake? That Demon Seed not only did not leave, but has been hiding in the village? Possessing himself on his cousin
Xiao Ai immediately thought of the serious illness that her cousin had been entangled in recently. Grandpa Baizu said that he was ill, but the medicine that Grandpa Baizu gave could not cure it.
And when my cousin started to get sick, it happened to be the day that Master Wu Zhu came to the village...
Xiao Ai's footsteps slowly retreated. But at this moment, I heard the demon in the room say.
"Cripple Ai, bring me the Shui Lingzhi... sigh... Goddamn uncle Jie, this seat is with you forever!"
What sounded right after was Uncle Xiao Ai's dull voice.
"Yes, Master."
Next, the house was temporarily quiet.
The little girl outside the house was completely frightened.
The uncle knew that his brother was possessed by a demon? No, Uncle's voice is very wrong...
The girl remembered that when Master Wu Zhu and the Mountain God were discussing the devil in front of the mountain temple, he mentioned that this devil has the ability to confuse the minds of living people and control mortals.
Is the uncle being controlled by a demon
Realizing this, the girl's heart became even more nervous.
She swallowed her saliva, almost held her breath, and stepped back slowly, for fear of disturbing the demon in the room.
Gotta get someone to help... no! That thing is a monster, and the villagers can't deal with it at all. And she didn't know if other people in the village were also controlled by demons...
The girl is restless, thinking about it, and now the only one she can rely on is Lord Mountain God... That's right! Go to the mountain god!
As long as Lord Mountain God knows about the Demon Seed, this monster will not be able to harm anyone!
You must tell the Mountain God about the Demon Seed!
After realizing this, the little girl quietly left her house, and without stopping, she ran straight out of the village, intending to go to the mountain to ask the mountain god.
However, as soon as she walked out of the village, she ran into her aunt who came back after washing with a wooden tub.
The girl stopped running in an instant, her face a little nervous, "Big... Aunt... Have you done your laundry?"
The aunt, who seemed to be business as usual, nodded and asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Uh... I... I went to the river to get something," the little girl immediately made up a reason, "I just dropped something by the river."
"That's it... Then you go," the woman said, "I'll go home first, and I'll cook potatoes for lunch today. Come back early."
"Okay, auntie, I'll go first." The girl tried her best to look calm, and after passing her aunt, she continued to run towards the river.
And behind her, the woman looked at the back of her hurriedly leaving, but frowned, thoughtfully...
Chapter 36
Although Shuisheng Village is located on the outskirts of the Hanyu Mountains, if you really want to reach the main peak, you still need to walk a mountain road for an hour or two.
However, the little girl has a mountain god token around her neck. Once she enters the Hanyu Mountains, she can run as much as she likes without feeling tired.
But even so, it took about an hour for her to reach the mountain temple.
Just after entering Hanyu Mountain, the little girl's heart has calmed down and is no longer panic.
The black vortex clouds shrouded in the sky above the mountains are like a huge eyeball, overlooking the world indifferently. Under this vortex cloud, others may feel intimidated, but the little girl is full of security.
As long as you enter the range of this vortex cloud and enter the mountain, it is the territory of the mountain god, it will not... no...
The little girl who was running gradually stopped in her footsteps. His face turned pale again.
Because on the mountain road not far in front of her, a six-year-old child was sitting quietly at this time. The child looked at her, and the sneer on his face was nothing like the expression that a child of this age should have.
"Sister Ai, where are you going? You ran in such a hurry... Didn't you go to the river to look for the lost things? How did you end up in the mountain? "
The little boy said with a sneer, and behind him stood two figures, who were Xiao Ai's uncle and aunt.
It's just that these two once-familiar relatives now all have dull eyes and blank expressions, obviously being controlled by demons.
Xiao Ai took a step back subconsciously, her expression tense.
Here, it has entered the range of Hanyu Mountain, surrounded by jungles. Even if she shouted loudly, no one could hear her and come to her rescue.
But Xiao Ai knows that the beasts in this mountain all obey the orders of the mountain god, if he...
"Save..."
The girl subconsciously opened her mouth to call for help, but the moment she opened her mouth, her consciousness went blank.
A dazed state of sluggishness, I don't know how long it lasted. When she regained consciousness again, she found that the uncle was standing in front of her with a dull expression, with his thick hands stuck around her neck.
The painful feeling of suffocation made the little girl struggle immediately.
However, the strength of a young girl is simply powerless to break free from a peasant who works in the fields all the year round.
The girl's legs kicked hard in the air, and her hands desperately grabbed the uncle in front of her, but she couldn't relieve the feeling of suffocation in her chest at all.
Her vision gradually became blurred. Both ears started ringing, and the struggle was getting slower and slower.
In his ears, the strange voice of the devil sounded.
"You broke free from this seat's control so quickly? You are such a good baby girl... It's a pity... It's a pity..."
"It's fine if you don't wake up, wouldn't there be no pain if you just die?"
With a sneer, he watched the little girl's struggling movements gradually stop, and then turned into a completely breathless corpse, the little boy said indifferently.
"Bury her nearby, don't disturb the wolf in the mountain."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the dark robbery cloud above his head, with a faint fear in his eyes.
Although he didn't know the origin of the white wolf in this mountain, the robbery cloud shrouded in the sky above Hanyu Mountain all year round was the nemesis of destiny to him. If even a trace of demonic energy is revealed, it will definitely attract thunder.
Fortunately, he can control mortals and order these two mortals to do things for him.
Humph... That group of Jiuli people came by coincidence, if it wasn't for the Shui Lingzhi they sent, it would be really difficult for them to escape from here.
But now as long as he digests the medicinal power of this water ganoderma, he has enough power to control this body and leave here. Once he is far away from here, he doesn't need to worry about attracting thunder, and he still needs to hide in the body of a mortal
When the time comes, the body will fly away directly, the sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds fly, how can there be such a humiliation!
Thinking of the suffocating days that he had been forced to hide in this child's body during this period of time, there was an uncontrollable anger in the eyes of the Demon Seed.
But now was not the time to vent his anger. He urged the controlled couple to dig a mud pit nearby, throw the little girl's body into it, and quickly cover it up.
His identity was broken by this little girl, which almost ruined his plan.
This little girl seems to have a close relationship with the wolf in the mountain. If the wolf knows her existence, she is afraid that she will end up here.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and took him to catch up to block this little girl, otherwise... the Demon Seed thought of this, and he couldn't help but feel fortunate. Looking at the couple again, seeing that they had roughly covered up the little girl's body, the Demon Seed ordered them to take them back.
The medicinal power of Ganoderma lucidum will take one to two days to absorb.
In the past two days, how to confuse this little girl's disappearance, you have to think carefully.
Thinking about the next plan, the Demon Seed and the lame couple left. Although the living people left, the mountain forest where the body had just been buried gradually became quiet.
until…
"chi-chi-"
A sudden monkey call sounded in the forest.
Immediately afterwards, a white ape with white hair jumped down from the tree. Behind it, the entire monkey group of Yingyingchaochuo followed.
The monkeys stood on the ground, surrounding the land that had just covered the body, and all chirped. Because in this underground, they felt some kind of familiar atmosphere.
"chi-chi-"
The white-haired monkey king let out a cry and gave an order, and all the other monkeys rushed over and began to dig the soil. The monkeys moved quickly, and the soil was soft, and they quickly dug out the little girl who was buried in the ground.
The moment they saw the little girl, the monkey group exploded.
"Gee! Gee!"
"Haw! Haw! Haw!"
The monkeys all screamed in horror and recognized who the little girl was.
The monkey king, headed by him, scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously. After reaching out to touch the little girl's nose, he found that the little girl was no longer breathing.
