The two brothers and sisters who did not escape from the gate were caught by a terrible couple with dark faces. The brothers and sisters in this family grew up in love and were rarely punished, so when they were pressed on the dragon head stone pillar and thrust their butts hard with willow branches, the two children were stunned and cried together.

These two children were really scared when they cried six points, and four points were temptation. Generally speaking, they cried so loudly, and the elders should let them go, but this time, no, whether they loved them the most, or the softest father and aunt, they didn't say anything, and let them be beaten. In the end, the two children were really scared and cried even more miserably.

The little boy who was locked in the room again was not so scared. He lay on the window and looked at the yard. His little sister leaned against him, and was so scared that she pursed her mouth.

"Do you know you're wrong? How did your father and I tell you? Ah?" the woman asked while thrusting hard.

The two children didn't understand why the elders were angry and fearful. They just felt that they were punished because they were disobedient. They cried and shouted that I was wrong and were finally taken back to the house.

Xin Xiu leaned behind the stone mill and watched the farce. She could guess with her toes that the old lady in this family took her son and daughter out, chose the right person, and snatched the other person's children back in order to kill the child they love, and a substitute sacrifice was not new.

After such a fuss, it was almost early in the morning. Only then did the family go to rest. This time they learned their lesson and locked a willow wood villain on the door where the kidnapped child was closed to the ears. Whenever someone came to the door, they would yell and make people discover it. The trouble is that it has no eyes, and the illusion is useless to it. It is essentially spiritual and is best at detecting subtle things.

Originally, Xin Xiu could have opened the door and got the two children out, but now it is a bit troublesome.

However, it's just a little trouble.

After thinking for a moment, she came up with a solution, took out a small bottle the size of a thumb, and knocked on the body of the bottle, "Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang, come out."

Hu Sanniang was the wandering female ghost she had collected before, the one who had a big hole in her chest sewn. She had previously possessed a puppet, but later she put it in a small jar and carried it. She was occasionally awake and sometimes crazy. Fortunately, Xin Xiu poured her out of the bottle now, and she looked quite awake.

"You go and try to possess the willow wood villain."

Plants are more difficult to generate intelligence than animals. It is more difficult for spiritual trees to be wise. Xin Xiu saw that the willow wood villain is spiritual, but not sanity. Willow wood belongs to Yin. For female ghosts, it is a good possession item, and it is more suitable than small wood people and small jars. If Hu Sanniang stays in that little man, she can be nourished.

Hu Sanniang obediently floated over and into the body of the willow wood villain. Then she burped in humanity, looked around, jumped off the door, and ran towards Xin Xiu. Xin Xiu squatted down and let the villain walk onto his palm, and looked at it with a smile: "Your new body looks good."

It's not just good, it's just a fit. The rough face of Liu Mu people looked a bit like Hu Sanniang. She had completely integrated the spirituality of Liu Mu before. Maybe she could use this spirituality to cultivate into a ghost immortal in the future.

After solving this problem, Xin Xiu went straight into the house and found that the two children were asleep on one of the beds in the house. They were wrapped in a clean thick quilt and slept quite soundly.

Xin Xiu took them into her arms with a move, and quietly left the house and returned to the Suwon home.

Lao Wu stared at a willow branch in the house, wondering what he was thinking about. Seeing that she was back, she was holding two sleeping children in her arms, holding the armrests of the wheelchair and leaning forward: "Have the child been retrieved? Is it okay?"

"It's okay." Xin Xiu didn't want the two children to wake up, so she gave them a magic trick on the way to make them sleep more deeply.

Lao Wu raised his hand and brushed the foreheads of the two children, and said unsurely: "These two children seem to be suitable for cultivation."

Xin Xiu didn't care much about these things, and sat at the table and discussed the strangeness here with Lao Wu.

Lao Wu: "I had just chatted with Suwon for a while, and I felt that their abilities seemed to be different from the spiritual power we practiced."

Xin Xiu: "There are thousands of ways to practice. We are from Shuling, and Xiang Mao I went to before. Their practice is also very different from ours."

Lao Wu said again: "I think there is something wrong with the well in the yard. I took the opportunity to help Suwon get water closer. I think there seems to be something underneath."

Xin Xiu: "What?"

Lao Wu: "I don't know, I just feel a vague feeling." He has a wood-based spiritual root and is naturally more sensitive.

Xin Xiu thought for a moment: "Then wait until we send the child home, and then turn back and take a closer look." Her curiosity was so clear that she couldn't leave.

It was soon dawn, and everyone here got up early. Xin Xiu used magic to temporarily turn the two children into two little dolls and hid them in her arms. She took out Taoist Majesty Niu from the yard, asked Lao Wu to sit on it, and was about to say goodbye and leave. Before she was about to go out, Suwon's uncle came in from outside the door, with a strange face, glanced at them, and whispered a few words to the old lady.

Suzuhara also heard it from the side, and he couldn't help but argue: "What does this have to do with them? They didn't leave last night, and they only had this little luggage on their bodies, and they could see it at a glance when they hid it."

Xin Xiu pricked her ears and understood after listening to a few words. It should be that the family found that two kidnapped children were lost and notified the others in the town, so the two foreign populations were suspected, and now they did not let them leave.

This is really the worst situation, because it means that the whole town knows the fact that kids a child to be a substitute. They help the evil and collude with each other, which also means that it is definitely not the first time they have done this.

It is as beautiful as a peach blossom land, and there are also human-cannibal demons inside.

Xin Xiu felt more and more that a place like Shuling, a place where immortals are cultivated in the world, is really a place where people who do not want to live in the chaotic world and cannot change can split a place to cultivate themselves and cultivate their nature. Those who have probably experienced all the sufferings in this world finally want to return to Shuling, and from then on, they will never ask about worldly affairs, and are like her classmates.

She now understands why the ancestors let these newborn calves break into this pool of dead water, probably thinking that they would be living water. This is probably not the first time he has done such a thing.

Lao Wu obviously understood that everyone who came to this town had problems. He lowered his eyes and looked at Xin Xiu. Xin Xiu replied with a confused and worried look that suited his current identity.

Not long after they were stopped, Suwon was over angrily and embarrassedly and said, "You can stay here for another two days, now... it is not convenient for us to leave here." Seeing that Lao Wu was inconvenient, he took the initiative to raise his hand and carried him off the cow's back, and then went to get them breakfast. Then he squatted aside and bit the steamed bun angrily, with sorrow and irritability in his eyes.

Soon, Xin Xiu saw the elders of the brother and sister family again. They came over with the old lady coughing on her back. The old lady's eyes as sharp as swordsmanship were scraping over Xin Xiu and the other two. Xin Xiu also felt a slight dizziness. It was someone who was performing a trick!

"Who are you?!" a voice asked sternly.

Xin Xiu looked at Lao Wu's somewhat dizzy look, and then said dizzyly, "It's a passerby." As he said that, he secretly pinched Lao Wu's vest without moving, and drew a clear heart talisman behind him.

Lao Wu also said, "...passerby."

"Did you see a brother and sister?"

Xin Xiu: "No."

Lao Wu: "No."

With a slight bell, Xin Xiu felt a clear mind. Good guy, they can also be confused. Fortunately, her eyes are powerful. Thank you again for your master, your master is amazing!

Their suspicion was cleared a lot at once, but they still didn't let them leave. Xin Xiu heard the old ladies of the two families sitting together and said a few words.

"There is no one, and it's too late to find the right one now." "I'm afraid I can only..." "I really have no choice but to have any problems with the Dragon Mother Sacrifice, otherwise..." "I understand..."

They walked with red eyes, Xin Xiu patted her belly calmly, and the dolls turned into by the two children in her arms were still sleeping soundly, not knowing the wind and rain in the Fengyu Town.

Today is much noisy outside than yesterday, because the Dragon Mother Festival is just tonight. They were invited back to the house by Suwon and told them not to run around.

As soon as the door was closed, Xin Xiu quickly created two human-shaped illusions, and then carried Lao Wu on his back, "Let's go and see what these people want to do."

The children were detained in the house and could not come out. Whether men or women went out, they all wore white clothes, which looked like... filial piety clothes. The older men and women also wore white clothes, but the styles were different, and they were more grand. They had wide robes and big sleeves, and were tied with willow wood.

The old people gathered in a temple, Xin Xiu took Lao Wu to sit on the top of the temple, and people were walking around in the town, as if looking for something, Xin Xiu heard the conversations of the old people coming from below.

"Yun Wu, your two children, be ready first."

No one spoke for a long time, and then a hoarse coughing female voice: "I understand, I won't miss the Dragon Mother Festival."

"The twelve-year high ceremony, you can't make any mistakes. Be optimistic about the children of each family and don't go to the wind and rain well to avoid collision."

"The main priest...you can come this year with Yunwu."

"Young people who carry spirits should keep a steady mind. Don't happen that last time. If there is a real possibility, it will be that one or two children will die. We will all have a catastrophe."

The group of people talked a lot, and then knelt in the temple to kneel down at the statue of the Dragon Mother God, chanting spiritual texts.

Xin Xiu boldly approached and saw that the statue of the Dragon Mother Goddess was different from the ordinary Goddess. He did not have a wide face, small eyes, and thick lips, but looked very beautiful. He was wearing several layers of white gauze dress similar to the bodies of the old ladies. She was holding two children on her wrists, and the two children had long dragon-shaped lower bodies, wrapped around her arms.

The group of people seemed to be hungry and kept repeating their chanting until dusk. They left the temple one by one, covering their heads and faces with white gauze. Many young men and women held long white lanterns in their hands and followed them. Then they looked at the white silk ribbons flying on the pole, which was like a silent funeral procession.

On the way, each family carried willow baskets and went to the river to deliver the ceremony, holding a red dot of vegetarian buns to worship.

When they passed by the brother and sister's house, Xin Xiu stood on the roof and heard the crying sounds coming from below. The brother and sister I saw yesterday closed their eyes and lay motionlessly on the small cradle made of willow trees. Their faces were white, their lips and eyebrows were bright red, they wore colorful ornate clothes, and were barefoot.

Their mother, who was crying and twitching, covered them with two white gauzes.

More than a dozen young men endured their grief and carried the two children out and followed the white team. Behind them, there were people holding kettles, sprinkling water from the kettle on the road, and the bells tied in their hands made a messy jingle.

They went up the mountain, and white mist enveloped them, soaking the trees in the forest.

"Dingling--"

"rustle--"

Like a group of wandering souls in the mountains.

The team finally stopped in front of a mountain wall in the mountains, where there was a pool of water. An old voice said, "Put the dragon son and dragon girl down the Fengyu Well."

The two sleeping children, together with their little cradle, gently hit Xuan'er on the pool water and slowly sank.

No one spoke, they watched quietly, because everyone was wearing white veil, and their expressions were hazy and unclear. They inserted a long white lantern by the pool and then all retreated.

After calming down, Xin Xiu and Lao Wu appeared by the pool and they looked at each other.

Xin Xiu released Niu and the two children, "Niu Taoist, you are here to watch, we will come when we go."

The siblings and brothers didn't discuss it, and went straight into the pond without saying a word.

The pool was not deep from the outside, but when I entered, I found that the bottom was completely invisible. The bottom of the water was not dark, and it was vaguely emitting blue-green light.

Xin Xiu: If you have deep-sea phobia, you will die on the spot now.

Below them, two black shadows were sinking. They stepped forward and one of them picked up one. At this moment, the light in the water was shining and they saw clearly the appearance of the bottom of the water.

There is a huge tree at the bottom of the water, which is a willow tree. The willow branches float upwards, and many willow branches are wrapped in cocoons.
