Two junior sisters stood in front of Lin Jue, one on the left and one on the right. There was a gap in the middle, and there was an archer on each side waiting for them with their bows drawn.
The two junior sisters looked solemn.
"I ask, you answer."
Lin Jue said to them while holding a simple knife.
The two junior sisters were silent and serious.
"What's the name of Master?"
"He Xianyu!"
"He Xianyu!"
The two junior sisters said at the same time. When they heard each other's voice, they turned their heads and looked at each other.
"Taoist Yunhe!"
"Taoist Yunhe!"
They said it again almost at the same time, with the same tone.
"Huh?"
Lin Jue felt a little strange and thought about the reason, but he didn't stop talking: "Where did we meet?"
"Half way!"
"Half way!"
The two junior sisters looked at each other and added at the same time:
"At the foot of Hammer Mountain!"
"At the foot of Hammer Mountain!"
Looking at each other again, the two junior sisters frowned deeply, their expressions becoming more serious.
"Drank Qianni Liquor!"
"Drank Qianni Liquor!"
"Don't talk at the same time, answer them separately. The next question is on the left, and the second question is on the right." Lin Jue said thoughtfully, "Where does Qianrijiu come from?"
The two junior sisters were both shocked at the same time.
"Senior brother, I can't tell the difference between right and left!"
"Senior brother, I can't tell the difference between right and left!"
"Then which one I point to will be the answer." Lin Jue said helplessly, "If we can't tell the difference, I'll tie you two up and wait until the third senior brother comes back or at dawn."
"good!"
"good!"
Lin Jue pointed to the left: "Answer this first!"
"Tiger!"
Lin Jue pointed to the right again: "Who did you meet later?"
"Wolf demon!"
Lin Jue immediately frowned even more tightly.
The two junior sisters also fell silent, and then both looked thoughtful, and then raised their heads at the same time.
"Brother, it knows what we are thinking."
"Brother, it knows what we are thinking."
"Ask again."
"Ask again."
"Don't think about the answer when you ask."
"Don't think about the answer when you ask."
"Smart!" Lin Jue wanted to nod to his junior sister, but he didn't know which one was true, so he had to take it back. Then he pointed to the left and quickly thought of a question and asked, "What is the name of the fifth senior brother?"
As soon as you finish asking, you should immediately calm down and get rid of distracting thoughts.
It might be difficult for ordinary people, even for those who are new to spiritual practice. However, Lin Jue started practicing Qi cultivation very early, so it was easy for him.
"Jingqi."
The junior sister on the left answered seriously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her head, closed her eyes, and cleverly used crazy and random thoughts to stop her thoughts.
"Where's Seventh Senior Brother?"
Lin Jue pointed to the junior sister on the right.
"Women can't be officials, but they can cultivate Taoism and become immortals. Women have to marry, but if you become a female Taoist priest, you don't have to wait for me to become an immortal and learn how to use stone. No one dares to throw me into the river..." The little junior sister on the right squirmed her mouth.
She was chanting in a clear voice and at a very fast speed. Just as she was chanting, she gradually realized that something was wrong. Her voice became lower and lower, and she almost relied on inertia to continue chanting.
"I don't have to be told to work every day. I can work when I want to... and I don't... need... to be... sold..."
Until I can no longer read it anymore.
"Canopy!"
This little junior sister suddenly transformed into a strange bird. No injuries could be seen on her body, except for a red mass where Lin Jue sprayed her with a mouthful of pure Yang energy.
"Suddenly..."
An arrow shot out and penetrated it directly.
Another spit of flame came out.
"Gah!!"
Amidst the sharp screams, a burst of black smoke and fishy smell spread out, and the strange bird gradually turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Jue waved his hand, inviting the breeze.
The fishy stench was also blown out of the ancestral hall.
Everyone was shocked and still undecided.
Lin Jue looked at the junior sister and frowned: "Junior sister, what weird things were you thinking about just now?"
The younger junior sister was shorter than him, but she raised her head and looked at him with a normal expression, without saying a word.
Lin Jue saw this and stopped asking.
After a while, the third senior brother came back.
Lin Jue also suspected that he was transformed by the big bird. Fortunately, now that he knew that the big bird could change and knew its path, it was easy to distinguish him. The third brother obviously encountered the big bird when he went out.
He must have been deceived by it before. As soon as Lin Jue tried it, he immediately understood.
"What does senior brother like to do?"
"He? He's a farmer! He digs the soil and works in the fields!"
As soon as these words came out and the tone of his voice, he knew that this third senior brother was true.
"Brother, come in quickly."
"I saw the fire and the shouting here, so I knew it was probably coming back to find you." The third senior brother said, "How many have you encountered here?"
"Two, one was killed and one escaped."
"I didn't expect there to be three of these strange birds here."
"Three?"
"One led me away, and two came back to you. After I got rid of that one, I happened to run into the one that ran away from you when I came back, and killed it again." The third brother said casually, "This thing is indeed true.
It hasn't become a problem yet, it's just cunning and cunning, but it's not really that powerful. If you had anticipated it and were smarter and more vigilant, ordinary people could also defeat it."
"We were just fooled by it."
"Who isn't?"
The third senior brother said and walked over to see Zhang Da's injuries.
This man was seriously injured.
In addition to the wound on his chest, his face was also scratched and wrapped in strips of cloth. I don't know if it can be cured, but he is a man, so he held on like this and kept calling his mother.
The third senior brother had no choice but to go to his house again and found that everyone in his family was fine. When he came back to inform him, he felt relieved and closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"well……"
The third senior brother looked at Lin Jue and the two and sighed: "Monsters and ghosts are harming people! How could there be so many things in the past? Nowadays, the world is getting more and more chaotic. If you see this clearly earlier, it will be easier to go down the mountain in the future!"
"knew."
"Know."
Immediately, everyone closed the door of the ancestral hall again, sat down individually, and gradually became sleepy.
Only the fox was lively and didn't want to sleep. He ran around in the ancestral hall. From time to time, he took a deep breath at the place where the big bird disappeared, as if to remember or pursue its smell. When he got tired, he ran back to lie down next to Lin Jue.
…
Early the next morning, we visited Wulong Mountain Village.
Someone had already opened the door.
The streets in the village are filled with hurried footsteps.
The villagers were frightened and hurried home. Several black-clothed warriors carried Zhang Da back to his home. Others brought a token of Taoist Qingxuan and rode to invite the Taoist from Qiyun Mountain.
Taoist Qingxuan and his two men also woke up and took many magical weapons to the woods at the entrance of the village.
Lin Jue and the other three were relatively relaxed and followed them.
Walking through the village, I couldn't help but look around.
I didn't see it clearly last night, and it wasn't until today that I saw what this Ogawa Village looked like.
In Lin Jue's view, the villages here can be roughly divided into three types: one is the village founded by famous Confucian scholars like Hengcun, where people live together and have been passed down for hundreds of years. Some of their descendants are even officials in the court.
; One is a village like Shucun where there are many merchants. Although they are not prominent, they are doing business together and are considered wealthy. The other is a village with very ordinary farmers. There may be more than one clan in the village, and most of them are poor.
Ogawa Village is the third type.
The houses here are smaller, older and more dilapidated. Many of them have neither white walls nor blue tiles. They are yellow mud-walled thatched houses. They are not wealthy in the first place. They are also affected by natural disasters and ghosts. The village is dilapidated and even its popularity is somewhat dim.
.
Many people opened the door and came out early in the morning, but they just sat at the door and watched them pass by in silence, as if they had no strength to make a sound.
"The people are suffering. I'm afraid it will be even more miserable in a few years." Seeing that the villagers were far away from him, the third senior brother sighed casually, then looked at the two junior brothers and sisters, "The remaining souls have been burnt clean, just wait.
The Taoist friends of Qi Yunshan set up the incense table, opened the altar, and invited the power of the gods to cleanse away the yin and death. This matter is over. Junior brothers and sisters, please don’t continue to worry."
Before they could respond, he said to himself:
"I am thirty this year and will live a few years longer than you. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon. If you see it, help if you can and if you want to. Otherwise, pretend you didn't see it. But no matter what, don't do it because of it.
These things affect my state of mind.
"Thinking so much is not helpful in explaining things, nor is it helpful in practicing. If you ask me, it is better to drink alcohol.
"Don't think that there are endless things outside of you, and there are only so many things you can do while you are alive.
"..."
Lin Jue nodded, obviously he understood.
This is the separation of reason and emotion.
But if it were that easy, where would there be practice?
Chapter completed!
