Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 179: Fox resentment turns into ghost, Shenxiao sends talismans
Although it was noon, the entire Xiuhe River was shrouded in heavy dark clouds. Heavy rain was approaching, making this winter day a bit suffocating and dull.

The sky was gloomy, and thunder exploded from time to time, tearing open one dazzling crack after another in the dark sky.

As the thunder roared, the fox and weasel in Yan Huan's body trembled.

Bai Ling stuck her head out and seemed to smell a trace of resentful spirits. The smell was pungent and unpleasant, and it was hard to bear.

It was far more sensitive to this smell than Yan Huan, for no other reason than that this resentment came from the same species as it, and was emanating from the fox.

"Brother Huan, I feel a sudden palpitation in my heart, and I also feel very sad."

"Something seems to be crying in the northwest."

Yan Huan stroked the fox head that stuck out from his chest and consoled him, "It's okay, we'll go take a look together later."

After hearing what Bai Ling said, Yan Huan also noticed the unusual aura.

The resentment is overwhelming and will not dissipate.

Something is wailing loudly and tearing its lungs apart.

But the great sorcerers Luo Shuning and Li Ziyuan who were traveling with them did not react much. They just looked in the direction of the village with worry.

The three of them rushed to a village called Datao Village. A cordon was tied around the stone tablet at the entrance of the village and the poplar tree opposite. According to some arrangements made by the company and local authorities, those who had been poisoned had been properly accommodated.

"Oh, Doctor Luo!" As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, someone came to greet me with a smile.

This man has an honest face, a slightly crooked mouth, and dry and fluffy hair like dead grass. He is the director of the village and his name is Zhang Guangming.

"Director Zhang, there should be no accidents during the time when the old lady was away, right?" Luo Shuning asked.

"No, no, but two distinguished guests have come."

"It's the two Taoist masters! Hehe!"

"The two Taoist priests said that there is a lot of evil here, so they gave us a few talismans and took care of some trouble outside the village." Zhang Guangming smiled innocently, "I will distribute these talismans later. No matter whether they can be used or not, at least they can give the old people some psychological comfort."

Zhang Guangming lifted the plastic bag in his hand, which contained a bunch of yellow papers and folded mulberry paper.

The aura in the bag is unusual, and the elves have already sensed it.

Yan Huan thought that the two Taoist priests who came here were probably scammers who were taking the opportunity to make money. As for whether they were from Longhu Mountain or Junfeng Mountain, he would have to wait and see them to know.

"It's a good thing that you come to lend a helping hand, but I don't know where the two Taoist priests are now?" Luo Shuning asked.

"He's resting in the village meeting hall." Zhang Guangming waved his hand quickly, "Doctor Luo, please come quickly. Our village has prepared food. The chef of Lao Wang's stir-fry restaurant at the east entrance of the village is from a big hotel."

"Hey, I haven't asked this gentleman yet?"

Zhang Guangming scratched his head and glanced at Yan Huan, very humbly.

Luo Shuning immediately responded, "Like my little granddaughter, she graduated from a university medical department and came here to see the world."

"This is it..." Zhang Guangming nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up, "They are the future pillars of the country, the angels in white who save the dying and heal the wounded!"

"Then Dr. Luo and the two young doctors will go first, and I will be there soon. Part of the bill for the road construction in this village has not yet been sorted out."

"Director, please go and get busy first." Luo Shuning nodded.

The man with a crooked mouth nodded and bowed, chuckled a few times, then left with the bag.

Li Ziyuan flicked her ponytail and watched the director leave.

"This village director is quite nice and speaks politely. I thought the lower you go, the more sarcastic and mean people you'll find!"

Yan Huan also followed the gaze of Dan Ponytail.

Nice person?
Not necessarily.

As the village director, he has to deal with all kinds of trivial matters, especially the grassroots people, whose hearts are the most difficult to appease. He won't be able to handle the situation with ease just by acting silly and flattering.

Yan Huan thought of the talisman in the bag again.

"The poison can't be cured by a talisman. Could it be that there is some ghost causing trouble here?"

"Misfortunes never come singly for this Tao Village..."

As he was thinking about this, thunder started again in the thick clouds.

But this time the sound was extremely loud and deafening.

There was a flash of light, and two winding beams of lightning struck down. With a loud bang, the poplar tree next to Yan Huan was split into pieces and charred. The dry and broken branches ignited a fierce fire under the high temperature.

"You are so brave. You didn't dodge or evade the thunder. Are you sure that the thunder will not punish you?"

Two Taoist priests in Taoist robes walked out from the poplar forest beside the village road. One of them held a thunder talisman in his hand and had a firm and righteous look on his face.

The other one, who was younger, was standing in front of his senior brother at a loss, and tried to persuade him carefully, "Senior brother, could this be a misunderstanding? It could be a sorcerer who can control ghosts. We should be careful. If we accuse a good person by mistake, our master will scold us later."

"Misunderstanding, it might be a misunderstanding." The little Taoist priest rushed to the front.

"Brother, seeing that you have a yin aura, I thought you might be related to the ghosts that we have been tracking these days, so I used the thunder to test you."

"I am Zhu Xuan from the Shenxiao Sect, and this is my senior brother, Yuan Tingli."

Yuan Tingli was furious and made another move, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"As this young Taoist priest said..." Yan Huan brushed off the dust on his body, "I am indeed a sorcerer."

"I know nothing about the ghosts that the two Taoist priests mentioned. In addition, this Taoist priest is malicious and irritable. He attacked people without any explanation. Has he lost the meditation skills that your sect taught him?"

Yan Huan casually pinched the dark cloud of hostility and clenched his fist.

The burning pain from the heat wave instantly spread throughout Yuan Tingli's body. He didn't know what Yan Huan had done. He was so shocked that he stepped back repeatedly and subconsciously clenched his sleeves of talismans.

It's a tough one.

"I'm...I'm sorry..." Yuan Tingli looked at the burns on his arms and trembled in pain.

“Hey! Hey, hey, hey!” Zhu Xuan waved his arms to block the two men. “Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Sorry, fellow Taoist, my brother was a little impatient, but he also wanted to punish the evil spirit.”

Yan Huan snorted coldly, "Tell me about that ghost."

"It's a cunning and sinister fox ghost!" Zhu Xuan shouted, "That guy has been tormenting us for a long time."

A fox ghost is the resentment of a fox after its death. Although this ghost can transform into a human form, it cannot change into a human face and still retains its fur and tail, so it can be covered with clothes. It often walks in darkness and fog, only showing its shape but not its face. When people let down their guard, it will kill them and eat them.

"I see. That's why Bai Ling reacted to the Yin energy just now. It's Fox Resentment."

As for the evil ghosts that harm people, I don’t have to worry about them with the two Taoists from the Shenxiao Sect here.

Yan Huan thought to himself, and ignored the two of them, nor did he respond to the invitation from the village director Zhang Guangming. He just said goodbye to Luo Shuning and the others temporarily, and walked straight to the lotus pond in the center of the village.

···
It was winter, and the pond looked desolate, with only the dead black and yellow lotus stems standing upright.

In the fitness equipment area next to the lotus pond, there was a rusty swing. A young man covered in mud was swinging slowly on it, looking lifeless and decadent.

As soon as Datao Village was isolated, everyone there was poisoned, including the young boy.

What surprised Yan Huan was that even in such a tense situation, there were still people wandering around outside.

Having no clue, and just happened to run into this young man, Yan Huan thought it must be fate. So he planned to start with him, to see the poison that gave even the great sorcerers a headache, and to search for the whereabouts of the water spirit.

"You're sick, why don't you stay at home and come out to swing on the swing?" Yan Huan walked forward and started a conversation.

The young man looked up at the sound, his lifeless eyes were covered with a thick layer of mucus. He was blind, but his hearing was still there. However, the poison had penetrated into his bones, and he would not live for long.

The young man clenched his hands tightly, and the backs of his hands and wrists were all bruised. He probably stumbled and reached the square next to the lotus pond.

"Wait to die." The young man said bluntly.

"Isn't there a famous doctor here to deal with it? Why are you saying such discouraging words?"

"Anyway, this time is over, there will be a next time. They won't stop until they kill us."

Yan Huan sat down on the swing next to her.

"who are they?"

"I don't know, I can't see." Dense black particles appeared beside the boy's eye sockets, like a black mist.

Yan Huan frowned. These small and numerous living poisonous insects were the most difficult to deal with.

Those tiny poisonous insects spread like a black tide and drilled into the boy's mouth and ears.

Seeing this, Yan Huan pinched a green feather and gently stroked it.

With a flash of inspiration, those densely packed poisonous insects fell to the ground one after another, and lost their breath.

The young man was stunned. The bright light in the cloudy sky actually hurt his eyes. But the good thing was that he could see now.

“I…I saw…”

"What's your name?"

"Hu Shuo!"

"Hmm..." Yan Huan paused, "Tell me about their affairs, as much as you can."

Hu Shuo blinked and looked to the side. When he thought that the person who could heal him could not be a bad person, he told him everything, no matter how big or small.

"Before this strange disease spread, my family was safe and sound. My grandmother said that there was a celestial being helping us, but I don't know what that is."

"But I had a vague feeling that there was an inexplicable existence protecting us from the poison. But one day, probably like today, there were dark clouds and thunder, and my grandmother suddenly burst into tears, saying that the earth fairy had died..."

"They killed him! I can't see it, but I just have this feeling!"

Yan Huan thought about it and guessed that this young man had some opportunity to obtain and refine Qi, but he could not capture it and could only sense it vaguely.

"No hurry, keep talking."

Hu Shuo nodded. "Without the blessing, the strange disease found us very quickly. Grandma died, my parents are also seriously ill, and I am obviously dying soon..."

thump!
Having said this, Hu Shuo knelt on the ground.

"Doctor, please save my parents. They are... they are..."

Hu Shuo looked confused. He became blind when he followed the villagers to move, and had no idea where his parents were placed.

As he thought about it, he began to cry anxiously.

"It's okay, don't worry. A good and effective medicine has been developed. Your parents will be fine." Yan Huan comforted, feeling moved.

"Bifang, let this person who poisoned the poison see the power of the Five Elements."

Bluebird raised his head high, "Then be careful not to scare him to the point of peeing his pants."

Swish!
The blue bird flapped its wings and flew into the sky, using its feathers to protect itself. In an instant, the blue feathers fell like snow and turned into hundreds of small spirit birds that flew away in all directions.

A brisk and warm breeze instantly cleared away the dead air in the village.

The evil spirit of witchcraft that had been shrouding the village dissipated a little.

Yan Huan jumped off the swing and said, "Take me to your home and see your dead earth fairy."

The so-called earth immortals, like the Northeast guardian immortals, are animals transformed through the practice of refining qi.

Hu Shuo hesitated for a long time, still worried about his parents' condition, but after seeing what the doctor said, he finally made up his mind to go home.

"My home is over there." The boy pointed to the northwest.

Yan Huan narrowed his eyes, "It actually came from the same direction as the crying sound."

At this point, we can no longer treat it all as coincidence.

Hu Shuo led the way and walked towards his home. Before he had taken a few steps, he ran into Zhang Guangming who was returning.

The crooked-mouthed man had a complicated expression and asked, "Young doctor, why don't you go to the restaurant to rest and have a meal? What...eh?"

"You cured me! You are the pillar of the country, the pillar of the country!"

Yan Huan replied, "I came out to eat late and I'm not hungry yet, so please let the director go first."

"Please eat a little, so that I can show my hospitality."

"Really, no need." Yan Huan refused again.

Zhang Guangming's face turned obviously ugly, and he straightened his hunched back.

When he passed by Yan Huan, his expression was sinister and cold, and he changed his usual humble and honest self. He said coldly: "You have high education, culture and knowledge, and your future is limitless, but there are some things you have to know. No matter how smooth your life is, you will be nothing more than a mortal in the end."

"There are some things that ordinary people like us cannot touch."

"If you haven't left school yet, you don't know how dangerous society is. As an elder, I want to remind you that you should not get involved in some things, or you may get into trouble."

Hearing this, Yan Huan smiled slightly, "That's true. Thank you Director Zhang for your reminder."

"Hmph!" Zhang Guangming shook his hand and walked away angrily.

Hu Shuo, who was a little scared, waited until he was far away before he dared to speak: "He threatened you like that, why are you still so happy?"

"Laugh at him for being scared. The more he objects, the more it shows that I am right. The more scared he is, the closer we are to the truth. Some of the dirty thoughts hidden in the dark will surface soon."

Yan Huan smiled, shook his head and continued walking.

On the other side, Zhang Guangming hid behind a bungalow and stared at the two men's backs fiercely.

He waved his hands in anger and walked into a nearby house carrying a bag of talismans.

"Oh my, Aunt Liu, look what good stuff I have for you. This is a talisman that I worked so hard to get from two traveling Taoist priests. I spent a lot of money on it. This thing can drive away evil spirits and cure diseases!"

"Your illness is not serious. With this thing, any illness will be cured."

"Because of the friendship between our two families, I immediately thought of you. I bought the talisman for 500 yuan, and you give me 300 yuan. I will put it on the door frame for you!"

After a while, Aunt Liu came out, her face was rosy and all the acne had disappeared.

"Hey, I'm fine now. Give this thing to your uncle and ask him if he wants to buy it."

"How are you?"

How can you get better?

Zhang Guangming's face darkened and he walked out with a bag full of talismans.

"How can it be fine now? It doesn't make sense. Something went wrong. I haven't paid less partnership fees. Damn it!" Zhang Guangming's gums itched with anger and he began to grind his teeth unconsciously.
