Everything has settled, and the black fog in the open space slowly dissipated. There was a moment of silence in the place, and only Jue Yuan's compassionate chanting was left. I think he was complaining about the poor mother, the baby. The souls recite a sutra, although their final outcome is just that the souls are scattered.
There was a large bloodstain on my master's chest. He was standing in the middle of the field with a sad look on his face. The same was true for the other three Taoist priests who followed my master. They killed these resentful spirits with their own hands, but they did not lack compassion in their hearts.
People say that the great road is ruthless, and this word is most often used when it comes to killing demons and exorcising evil spirits. Master has never said this, and often even leaves a glimmer of hope.
In the days when I yearned for chivalry, my master always said to me: "The Tao is ruthless, but the heart is warm. If you can retain a glimmer of vitality, you have planted some kind thoughts. Sometimes this vitality does not refer to life and death. In many cases, just like your relationship with others, when it breaks down, you must leave a trace of tolerance, and adding insult to injury may not necessarily be a happy experience, understand?"
I didn't understand at that time, love and hate were always very clear, but now I already understand that sometimes your tolerance may be another window for others. If the world was like this, it wouldn't become more and more... Many people are extreme.
The wind blew by, as if I was crying for these innocent mothers and children. I strode to the master and stretched out my hands to support the master, but he glared at me: "Sanwa'er, you see, I'm too old to walk. On the way?"
"Master, you have hurt your origin!" I said sadly and anxiously.
"It doesn't matter, let me fight happily this time." After the master finished speaking, he just wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, and then said to the people behind him: "Let's go."
I looked at Master's back and found that the once tall and straight back was now a little stooped. I felt a little sad. How can a ruthless person be the avenue? The most ruthless thing is time. It always takes away your precious moments and precious people. It also tells you that in time, you have no way to look back...

"This is the reason for tree burial. It is possible that the transformed corpse is buried in the tree. If it does not touch the earth, it will not be able to lift the corpse. I understand. This is the reason why the human skin puppet is hidden in the tree. No. It is in a state of deep sleep if it is in contact with the earth and does not get angry in contact with people. If you walk over..." The one who kept talking next to me was Brother Guan Xi.
From the time we left the clearing and walked into the underground passage, he has been analyzing the infant spirit and the resentful mother. I have never seen a person who can be so verbose. Finally, I couldn't help but speak: "I said Brother Xi , why are you constantly analyzing this? Are you also interested in black magic? "
Brother Guan Xi may have noticed his verbosity, so he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "My master said, don't learn and memorize things like magic. You should look more, think more, and draw inferences from one example to achieve the goal." A very high level.”
I smiled slightly, this Brother Guan Xi is really an interesting person.
I was waiting to chat with him again when I heard Grandma Ling Qing speak: "Lichun, it's so quiet in this tunnel, are there any traps?"
Yes, we are in the tunnel now. This tunnel is much more gorgeous than the tunnel Gao Ning once took me through. The ground, the side walls of the passage, and the ground are all covered with bluestone slabs and carved with strange reliefs. .
I saw this relief many times when I was in Heiyan Miao Village. The totems on many buildings were like this. At that time, I couldn't tell what it was at all, but now I understand that it is the abstract devil insect.
When walking in this tunnel, I knew clearly that this was the new tunnel that Gao Ning said. It was precisely because of its existence that Gao Ning and I took advantage of the loophole and escaped using the old abandoned tunnel.
Facing the question of Ling Qing's sex, the master pondered for a while and said: "Where can there be any traps? The puppet that defied the sky just now may have exhausted the power of the Black Rock Miao Village wizard, and what is left is just It’s just a duel.”
Grandma Ling Qing frowned slightly and said: "That thing that goes against the heavens will probably require several wizards to sacrifice their lives to complete it. Otherwise, according to the rules, God will send down divine punishment here. The wizard's power has been exhausted. , but I haven’t seen any Gu seedlings.”
The master said: "Since there are devil bugs in Black Rock Miao Village, what kind of Gu seedlings can still exist? Under the pressure of the devil bugs, what kind of Gu bugs can still exist?"
As soon as Master finished speaking, I felt something was wrong. I immediately said to Master: "No, Master, they have Gu seedlings. Don't they have a secret army composed of young people underground? And there are Gu seedlings in it." .”
The master said: "I know about the secret army. It has about fifty people. It specializes in cultivating the younger generation of witchcraft. I'm afraid it has a big agenda. But it is far from being established. The older generation of witchcraft in Black Rock Miao Village are just They are the real poison masters. They are the most innocent people who were sacrificed. Because they refused to succumb to the devil bugs, they use the strange eggs of the devil bugs as their life poison. So... In short, there is no real poison here. Gu seedlings."
As he spoke, the long tunnel had reached the end. At the end was a magnificent-looking hall. In this hall, the most obvious thing was a high altar, and behind the altar were four small doors. Needless to say, These four small gates lead to the four mountains respectively, and those female insects are hidden in the mountains by the people of Heiyan Miao Village.
I know clearly that one of these four small doors is abandoned because the female insect in the belly of the mountain was stolen by Gao Ning. There should be three female insects left, but the exact number of them needs to be carefully considered. You won't know until you investigate.
I heard Master say that this is the biggest secret of Black Rock Miao Village. So many people have been secretly investigating it for so many years, but they have not come into contact with this real secret. Gao Ning seemed to have mentioned to me that there were four female worms in total, but after such a long time, and under the circumstances at that time, and with my excellent memory, I can’t remember clearly.
But now, it doesn't matter which passage we take. The key issue is that this hall is full of people, and they look like they are just waiting for us.
The person leading the charge is an old acquaintance of mine, the Great Shaman of Boqie from Heiyan Miao Village.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." It was my master who stood up and spoke at this moment.
Na Qi's face twitched, and finally he chuckled and said, "I didn't wait long, you guys came faster than I thought."
The master glanced at the people behind him. In addition to the 50 uniformly dressed members of the secret army, there were also a few wizards mixed in. The remaining 7 or 8 people should be the so-called Gu seedlings in the village.
A village can have several wizards, plus 7 or 8 Gu seedlings is already a big deal. Even in the isolated Shengmiao village, not all of them can be called Gu seedlings. A Miao person who is a Gu Miao must at least have a natal Gu.
This kind of power may seem very powerful in the eyes of others, but in front of a group of us, it is not enough. Master looked at them with a half-smile, and said: "I will give you two choices, one is to get out of the way. , we will come back and take you away after we have taken care of some things. In this way, most of you may have a way to survive. The second is that there has been a fight, but we will not show mercy, and most of you will die, or All of them will die. Which one do you want to choose?"
Qi Sue's expression was a little sad, and he didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "I Qi Sue received a great gift from the village. I got twenty years of life in vain, but it is the most useless thing to say. One, it is because of my ancestor's love that I have this opportunity. How can I betray my ancestor just because of your threats? We will always have to fight."
"You have twenty years to live, which means that even if you surrender, there is no way to survive. Because your crime is unforgivable! Then let's fight. I will leave most of the people to fight with you, but only a few will You know we can't stop you even if we want to attack you, the loss may be even greater. How long you can keep most of these people depends on your ability." Master looked at Qi Shou and said seriously .
