The Pheasant Essence is going to be a big monster

Ji Xiaocai had a good night's dream, and woke up to the sound of reeds, and hurried to the window to have a look.The high ground not far from the window is already crowded with people, and the Miao people in bright festive costumes are clustered on the field, mixed with laughter and laughter; the loud and clear singing soars upwards, as if flying in the wind.

Ji Xiaocai had never seen such a scene before, she rubbed her eyes and thought she was dreaming.But his elder brother shouted from under the window: "Xiao Cai, hurry up and wash up. Go see the sacrifice!" Gu Tailai and Zhou Zhaoji were following beside him, Ji Xiaocai looked down, and was looking at Gu Tailai, looking at him, Seeing his deep gentleness, he couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly responded: "Come down immediately."

Putting on casual clothes and tidying herself up, Ji Xiaocai didn't care about what to eat, so she wanted to rush out, causing Jin Zi to follow behind and shout, "Brother Xiaocai, glutinous rice rake! You forgot to take it!" Ji Xiaocai just rushed out Going to Gu Tailai, hearing the shout, he wanted to turn back to take it again, but Gu Tailai grabbed his arm, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on his forehead.

"Stupid chicken." He said, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, spread it out, and wrapped a few pieces of glutinous rice rake cleanly, "Take it."

Ji Xiaocai laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, she happily picked it up and started eating.Jin Zi followed behind and ran out, originally to deliver food to Ji Xiaocai, seeing the appearance of him and Gu Tailai, the brilliance on his face suddenly dimmed, his two big eyes flicked left and right, and soon became active again .

"Brother Arano, would you like some more?"

"Huh? Me?...Okay." Ji Lanye seemed a little surprised that someone wanted to approach him, but he still politely reached out to try a piece, but Zhou Zhaoji suddenly took it and held it in his arms: "Xiao Lanlan has eaten, I will call you Brother Ji!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Lanye slapped him on the shoulder: "What did you say? Say it again?"

Zhou Zhaoji turned around with a playful smile: "Brother Ji, you got it wrong, I didn't say anything."

Ji Lanye glanced at him and said, "You can take care of yourself." Glancing at Ji Xiaocai, she paused and walked to the front alone.

Zhou Zhaoji muttered something, then turned to Jin Jin and said, "Sister Jin Zi is really beautiful and skilled..."

Jin Zi didn't care what he said, he glared at Zhou Zhaoji and said, "Uncle Zhou is a villain!" He ran away stomping away.

Zhou Zhaoji scratched the back of his head, looking confused from behind: "Why is the little girl's family so difficult to deal with now. Don't you think so, brother?"

Gu Tailai snorted coldly: "It's your own bad conduct." He said to Ji Xiaocai, "Xiaocai, let's go over there." Ji Xiaocai hurriedly responded, and the two happily pushed forward.

Zhou Zhaoji sighed: "Everything has become difficult to deal with." He stuffed the bag of glutinous rice in his arms and chased after him.

The sacrificial ceremony had already begun in the center of the arena, with firecrackers and reeds playing.The young people twirled and jumped while blowing the Lusheng, while the girls waved their skirts, raised their hands, and twirled on the beat of the drums. The patterns on the colorful skirts were swirling like clouds in the sky, and the silver bracelets and anklets collided with each other to make a crisp and pleasant sound. The singing flew up, and one person sang a hundred people to come together, singing the worship of the Miao people to their ancestors and the gratitude of the earth, sun, moon, wind, thunder and all things, and singing the joy of people celebrating the harvest and looking forward to the coming year!

Ji Xiaocai was fascinated by watching and listening among the crowd, and unconsciously spent half a day.At noon, people shared the meat from the slaughtered ox, and each took it home to roast and eat. The smoke rose from the kitchen, and the whole Yinsuo Village was filled with peace and joy.Ji Xiaocai was having dinner at Dewa's father's house, when Nazuo hurried back with a few people, and there was an old man dressed strangely inside.Everyone was having a good meal, but when the old man entered the door, it was as if he had touched some invisible thread. No matter it was Gu Tailai, Zhou Zhaoji, or even Ji Lanye, they all stopped their chopsticks and cast their gazes over.

The old man was unknown how old he was, and his clothes were no different from ordinary Miao people, with a cloth scarf wrapped around his head and a walking stick in his hand.There are many creases on his face, as if he is very old, and there is a story in each crease, but his eyes are sharper than even young people.He turned his eyes around Ji Xiaocai and the others in turn, looked at Ji Xiaocai a few more times, and finally turned his eyes back.

At this time, the elder sister Bao Bao also rushed out from the stove, and several people quickly said a few words in Miao language, and the elder sister Bao Bao's face changed, and then she began to cry.Na Zuo hugged the elder sister Bao Bao as if to comfort her, but the elder sister Bao Bao got into a tantrum with the elder brother Zhao, and said something reluctantly, while Father Deva was smoking a dry cigarette in a sullen manner. He patted his thigh and said something.Na Zuobao's eldest sister cried even louder, Na Zuo couldn't help it, so he comforted her, and went to the back of the house by herself, and after a while, she came out with gold.

Jin Zi was probably cooking under the stove just now. She was wearing an apron and her hands were still wet. She wiped her hands on the apron twice, and stood timidly in front of the crowd. When she saw the old man, her red face also changed. got pale.She tugged at the corner of her father's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Dad?" This sentence was in official language, and I don't know if it was because the little girl said something out of sheer panic.

Nazuo caressed his daughter's face and said, "Jin Zi, the great wizard wants to ask you to help me with something."

Only then did Ji Xiaocai know that the old man was the wizard in the Yinsuo village.There are no officials in the Miao village, and the great wizards are always respected, and the elders are respected.The Miao people are different from the gods enshrined in the Central Plains. They have their own gods to worship, and the witchcraft is fundamentally different from the Central Plains Taoism. No one knows how deep the great wizard who mastered witchcraft is.

Father Dewa glanced at Ji Xiaocai and the others, as if he was not afraid of them knowing, and said, "Jin Zi, your sister Mijie is missing."

Jin Jin covered his mouth in surprise, and looked back and forth at the crowd: "Why is sister Mijie missing?"

Nazuo sighed and said: "Don't worry about this, the honey is gone, but the wedding ceremony must be held, if the great witch god knows that the bride has escaped, he will be angry, and disaster will come to our village , the only way right now is to find someone to marry Mijietong God!"

Jin Zi looked at the grown-ups suspiciously, only to realize later: "Father...me?"

The elder sister Baobao cried even louder, covering her mouth, tears kept falling.

Nazuo was upset and said, "It's just to see if you meet the requirements first, it may not be you."

Jin Zi was also in a hurry, with tears streaming down his face, he tugged at the corner of Na Zuo's clothes: "Father, I don't want to marry the Great Witch God! I don't want it!"

Na Zuo slapped the gold surface with a slap, and a handprint appeared on the little girl's face.He looked palely at the Great Wizard and said, "Master Great Wizard, look at our family Jin Zi is still young and has no manners in speaking. How can a rude girl like her be worthy of the Great Wizard? Even if she meets the requirements, she can marry her." , I'm afraid it will also make the Great Witch God unhappy, and it will be a crime to bring bad luck to our village!"

The great wizard didn't answer his words, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed Jin Jin's arm.Ji Xiaocai didn't see the hand that was tucked into the sleeve just now, but when she saw it now, she couldn't help but gasp.But he saw that his left arm was thin and ugly, it was like a bone covered with a layer of skin, there were veins protruding from both the arm and the palm, looking carefully, the veins seemed to be still swimming slightly, like a thread lurking under the skin In addition, the fingernails of the great wizard's five fingers are all purple, as if they have been soaked in some kind of potion all year round.

Gu Tailai frowned, and said softly, "Gu seedlings."

Zhou Zhaoji nodded at the side, with a dignified expression: "The armor is purple and black, the flesh turns into flesh like a golden blade, and the hidden poison enters the body. This wizard is not simple."

Ji Xiaocai didn't understand it very well, but she also remembered reading that there was a mysterious Gu seedling among the Miao people, who was good at using Gu, elusive, and very difficult to deal with.

Jin Zi was caught by the great wizard, startled and frightened, wanted to struggle, but dared not move at all, and could only let the great wizard touch her from her fingers to the palm of her hand and then to the pulse gate.After stroking it back and forth several times, the great wizard just let go, looked at the expectant eyes of several people, and said in a strange low voice: "Ask the bride to get ready, and follow me to the Moon Spring in the back mountain to cleanse her body."

His sentence was like a "judgment" sentence, and the elder sister Baobao cried "wow" on the spot, Jin Zi was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, and Nazuo and Deva's father also couldn't bear it.

Ji Xiaocai couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "If the great witch god wants to marry Mijie, he will be angry if he sends gold!"

Gu Tailai didn't have time to stop him, so he could only stand up, put Ji Xiaocai's body behind him, and stared directly at the wizard with blazing eyes.The wizard looked at Gu Tailai for a while, lowered his head, and said to behind him, "I'll be waiting for you at Moon Spring." After speaking, he ignored all the crying behind him, and walked away on his own. Before going out, he looked back With a glance, Ji Xiaocai and the others seemed to have moved their lips, but they didn't make any sound.

The great wizard left, but the Miao people who followed him did not leave. Instead, they stood at the door one by one, as if they were afraid that the gold would escape.Father Dewa took a few puffs of dry cigarette, knelt down, and touched Jin Jin's face carefully, as if he wanted to remember his granddaughter's face well.

Jin Zi couldn't even cry for a long time, but collapsed on the ground in fear, his face pale.

Father Deva brushed her hair, turned to Nazo and said, "Take the gold down." Then he went back to the house with his hand drill behind his back, and his back, which was always straight, was bent, making him look very old.With red eyes, Na Zuo went to help his daughter up, Jin Zi couldn't help calling for help weakly: "Daddy, Daddy..." her little hands grabbed her father's clothes and wouldn't let go.

The elder sister of Bao Bao had been crying a long time ago, but now she wiped her tears and said with a choked voice, "Let me come, let me accompany the child for the last time." Na Bao Bao supported her shoulder, and the family went down together.

No one cared about Ji Xiaocai and the others anymore, so that suddenly only they and the few people who were waiting to escort the gold were left in the room.Ji Xiaocai really wanted to say something more, but remembering what Gu Tailai said last night, she could only swallow her anger with patience, picked up the chopsticks, and thought about grabbing some food to eat.Before holding the chopsticks, Gu Tailai had already grabbed the wrist. Ji Xiaocai turned her head in surprise, and shook her head solemnly when she saw Gu Tailai.

On the table was a bowl of scrambled eggs, a plate of pickled vegetables, a large pot of roast beef, and some rakes of glutinous rice. Zhou Zhaoji took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket, lit it, and carefully threw the ashes into the pot In the roast beef, I followed the words in my mouth. After a while, I saw some black spots suddenly appeared on the surface of the beef. At first, they were just a little bit, and they appeared like mold spots. Soon, the black spots began to spread. A large piece appeared, and the black was not stationary, but moved left and right like a living thing. Ji Xiaocai looked carefully and couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise. Where are the mildew spots? There are many small black bugs, they are densely packed Clinging to the pot of beef, making a crackling sound, gnawing on the whole pot of beef, within a short while, only worms were seen climbing in the whole pot.They pushed each other, trying to get out of the basin, making rustling noises.

Ji Lanye frowned in disgust and pointed at the side, as if he was going to burn the insect with fire, but was stopped by Zhou Zhaoji: "This is a Gu-eating insect. It can survive in a human stomach without eating fire." As he spoke, he took out a bottle or something from his sleeve, opened the lid, and poured it into the basin, one or two drops of transparent water fell into the basin, but in an instant, like the tide receding, all the bugs turned over Come over, stretch your thin legs, and turn to ashes after falling dead.

Gu Tailai frowned and said: "That wizard does have some skills, he can break your ten-direction net curse down Gu."

Zhou Zhaoji put the bottle away and said, "I don't think he took it seriously. The voodoo is so obvious. He probably just got annoyed by Xiao Caiji's words, so he warns us, and also tells us not to intervene easily."

Ji Xiaocai was still a little dazed: "Did that great wizard trick us?"

Gu Tai said: "Most of the Gu seedlings are very subtle, either through food or drink, or through touch, or through spells, but at this time, they usually only move their lips without making a sound. Think about the last time the wizard went out. .”

Ji Lanye slapped the table suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "It's too much to bully!" He stood up as he said that, as if he was going to settle accounts with someone!

Zhou Zhaoji hurriedly pulled his sleeve, with too much force, a piece of the cuff of Ji Lanye's white silk robe was torn off immediately.Ji Lanye glared at him, Zhou Zhaoji coughed twice, sat down on Ji Lanye's shoulder and said, "Brother Ji, don't be impulsive, just sit down and talk." Fortunately, the other party doesn't seem to understand Chinese.

Ji Lanye asked with a cold face: "What else can I say. They force women into magical marriages, and they play tricks on you and me. They are so cruel and devoid of conscience, why not teach them a lesson?"

Ji Xiaocai knew that Ji Lanye was angry at the threat to her safety, so she stretched out her hand to pull his elder brother, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm fine, don't be angry." It's like rushing out desperately.

Zhou Zhaoji comforted him from the side: "Brother Ji, calm down, even if you beat up that great wizard, what kind of witch god is there?"

Gu Tailai suddenly asked: "Zhou Zhaoji, do you know what kind of god the great witch god in this village is?"

Since they entered the Yinsuo Village, they only know that the villagers believe in a great witch god, but they don't know what kind of god it is.The Miao people's beliefs are completely different from those of the Central Plains. Even Ji Lanye, as a member of the Immortal Court, knows nothing about the gods of the Miao village. Under such circumstances, it would be dangerous if he fought against the other party.

Zhou Zhaoji said: "I only heard that most of the Miao people believe in sun gods, moon gods or mountain gods, and most of them are not human gods. I don't know where this great witch god came from. Since it is related to witches, I guess it didn't come from Witch medicine is transformed from Gu."

Ji Lanye said sullenly, "What god, that's a monster!"

Gu Tailai thought for a while and said: "This village is near the Wuling Mountains. The Wuling Mountains are full of aura, and the possibility of the mountain raising demons is even greater. The strange thing is that this witch god doesn't do evil on weekdays, but looks like a guardian mountain god. There is only a problem with asking for a bride."

Zhou Zhaoji said: "Ordinary people have a bad habit, even demons and gods can't get out of this circle, this witch god is probably lustful."

Gu Tailai: "If you say he is lustful, I asked someone yesterday that this witch god married a woman in the village 20 years ago. The bride at that time was named Duo Luojie, who was the same as Mijie who fled. I am of the same family, I am afraid they are still relatives. Since then, Yinsuo Village has never held a divine marriage ceremony, and has never encountered any ominous events. Seven years ago, the great wizard learned that Dorothy had passed away, and it is said that he died of illness..."

At this moment, Ji Xiaocai couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh".Gu Tailai stopped and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiaocai thought for a while and said, "Master Taoist, I felt a little strange when I heard you talk last night, I just remembered this..."

Ji Lanye frowned and asked, "When did you meet last night?"

Ji Xiaocai blushed suddenly, Gu Tailai coughed, changed the subject and asked, "What did you think of?"

Ji Xiaocai lowered her head and said softly: "I don't know if it's right. I think that although Duo Luojie is a mortal, after marrying the Great Witch God, the Great Witch God will always help her get rid of her mortal body, no matter how bad it is. It will protect her from illness and pain, so why did she die of illness?"

Gu Tailai smiled and said: "Good question. I asked the old man who was blowing the whistle the same way last night, and he said that Dorothy did something wrong and offended the Great Witch God, so the Great Witch God took back everything that was done to her. Because of this, Dorothy got sick and died. Because of this, seven years ago, there was a panic in this village, thinking that the great witch god would bring disaster because of Dorothy, but the great witch god appeared and told the great wizard, Yinsuo Village will still be peaceful, so don’t worry, just keep it as it is, and then seven years later, a few months ago, the great witch god suddenly dreamed of the wizard and said that he needed another bride from Yinsuo Village, And it seems that he is looking for Mikai by name.”

Zhou Zhaoji said: "Yuan Pei died seven years before he thought of marrying a new wife. I think this great witch has a deep affection for Na Duo Luo."

Ji Lanye said, "Who said he was lecherous just now?"

Zhou Zhaoji said with a hippie smile, "You know, some people appear to be lustful on the surface, but they are actually affectionate, just like some people appear to be smooth-tongued and unserious, but they are actually kind-hearted and treat others very well."

Ji Lanye said: "I don't know such a person, how did I know."

Zhou Zhaoji felt aggrieved: "Xiao Lanlan, that's what's wrong with you, you're too stubborn!"

Ji Xiaocai quickly grabbed his brother and said, "Brother, don't fight with Daoist Zhou, that's just how he is, just don't listen to what he says!"

Zhou Zhaoji was even more aggrieved: "Xiao Caiji, you run on me like this!"

Ji Xiaocai just pretended not to hear, and said, "Master, if the Great Witch God really likes Mijie and wants to marry her, and now she has escaped, how can they replace it with gold?"

Gu Tailai thought about it this time and said: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the great witch god didn't name Mijie to marry him, but only said that he would send a bride. The witch made a mess of it, because For some reason, Mijie was chosen, so when Mijie ran away, it would be okay to give the gold to the witch god; the second possibility is that the wizard might use some means to gold, to deceive the great witch god that she is Mijie... ..."

Zhou Zhaoji stroked his chin and said, "Brother, have you ever thought about another possibility?"

Gu Tailai asked him, "What?"

Zhou Zhaoji said: "For example, there is no such thing as a great witch god. The one who wants a bride is actually that great wizard! Hey, don't look at him as old, he is probably a big whore. He relies on himself as a wizard and borrows the name of offering to the gods." , stealthily take all those beautiful girls as your own, and change them when you get tired of them, so Dorothy will die, so it doesn’t matter if the bride is Mijie or Jinjin!"

Ji Xiaocai was shocked: "Why didn't those girls escape?"

Zhou Zhaoji said: "You have also seen the prestige and ability of the great wizard in this village. Ordinary women were deceived by him and lost their lives. How dare they show up again? They can only live in secret and let him manipulate them!"

Ji Xiaocai was completely filled with righteous indignation, she patted the table and said, "I'll settle the score with him!"

Gu Tailai held him by the waist, dragged him down and said, "This is just Zhou Zhaoji's guess, not necessarily the truth. I think the Great Witch God does exist. Otherwise, the weather will be good for decades, the crops will be plentiful, and there will be no natural disasters." It doesn't make sense."

Zhou Zhaoji asked, "Then tell me, why it doesn't matter if honey is all gold?"

Gu Tailai suddenly lowered his voice and said: "My guess has already been said, the rest just follow the past."

He just finished speaking, when there were footsteps from the back room, Na Zuo came out leading the gold, Na Zuo Bao's eldest sister covered her mouth, tears fell silently.Jin Zi was changed into a new dress, her small face was numb, and she completely lost her previous lively girlish appearance, as if she had resigned herself to her fate.Nazuo led the gold to the waiting Miao people and said a few words in Miao language, and the Miao people looked at each other, one in front and two behind, betting on the gold.Jin Jin walked to the door, turned around suddenly, knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed three times to her parents, said nothing, and followed the Miao people away.

Gu Tailai waited for them to walk for a while, stood up and said, "Let's go." The four of them stepped out of the door.

Ji Lanye used fairy techniques to hide the whereabouts of the four of them, and they followed the Miao people leisurely to the outside of the village.

There is still a joyful and peaceful atmosphere in Yinsuo village. Almost no one knows that the bride who is going to marry by magic today has escaped, and a girl who is only 13 years old is going to marry in her place.Ji Xiaocai is now thinking about what Gu Tailai said last night, if the honey doesn't go, there will be someone else who will marry her instead, it's almost like a prediction...

Ji Xiaocai looked ahead, convinced that those Miao people didn't pay attention to them, so she asked Gu Tailai in a low voice: "Master, I want to ask you something."

Gu Tailai gave him a questioning look, and Ji Xiaocai just said: "20 years ago, the witch god married Dorothy, so going forward, how many brides did Dorothy have before, and what is the ending?" He thought , if you know the fate of the previous brides, you can at least infer the temperament of this witch god, and you can also determine what to do next, but Gu Tailai shook his head.

Ji Lanye at the side asked, "I don't know?"

Gu Tai said: "I don't know. But according to the old man I asked, it seems that Dorothy has no other brides before. It sounds like Dorothy has set a precedent for divine marriage."

Ji Lanye retorted Gu Tailai: "It doesn't make sense. Ordinary people offer treasures to gods or intermarry with gods, just to get rid of disasters and solve difficulties, and beg for blessings. If Dorothy did not have a bride to marry the witch god before, it means silver Suozhai has never encountered disasters since its establishment, which obviously doesn’t make sense from the perspective of astronomical evolution, unless the witch god has been guarding the village in the past but never asked for anything from mortals until he asked for Do Luojie.”

Zhou Zhaoji rubbed his chin: "That's why I said everything, maybe there is no witch god at all, everything is caused by that great wizard."

Gu Tailai said, "That's not entirely true. At least 20 years ago, the witch god did appear."

Zhou Zhaoji raised one eyebrow: "Oh? You mean the reason why Dorothy got married?"

Gu Tailai nodded: "20 years ago, a natural disaster occurred in Wushan, where Yinsuo village is located. The entire village was buried by mudslides. Only Yinsuo village survived. Afterwards, the witch god appeared and told the great wizard to move the village, and people knew it was The Great Witch God blesses everyone in Yinsuo village to be safe, and Duo Luoji was married on the day the new village was built."

Ji Xiaocai asked: "Is it also the bride chosen by the witch god himself?"

Gu Tailai nodded.

Zhou Zhaoji snorted heavily in his nose: "It's really intriguing. From this point of view, this witch god is indeed a good god. He has been guarding silently for countless years, until he fell in love with Duo Luojie. He is dedicated and kind. Jin Zi may marry him. It's a good thing."

"That's really the case, he won't ask for honey from the people in Silver Lock Village now."

Zhou Zhaoji patted Ji Lanye on the shoulder: "Brother Ji, he has been widowed for seven years and only married a new wife. In fact, he has already been in love for a long time."

Ji Lanye looked at his shoulder and said, "Take your hands away, I have nothing to say to a flirtatious person like you."

Zhou Zhaoji sighed: "Brother Ji, I didn't say that you are living a life that is too unreal. Of course, you are a fairy, so there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, most people in the world are more changeable than this witch god."

Gu Tai said: "But it was also this witch god who angered him seven years ago because of Dorothy, and withdrew the spells that were added to Dorothy, causing him to die of illness. From this point of view, he Maybe it's not as good as you say."

Zhou Zhaoji thought for a while: "You're right, but I'm afraid it depends on what the woman did to anger the witch god."

Ji Lanye snorted coldly.

Ji Xiaocai asked in a low voice: "Suppose that 20 years ago, the witch god came to Yinsuo Village?"

Gu Tailai nodded: "Xiao Cai is right. The land god and the mountain god have terms of office. Maybe this witch god only took office 20 years ago, so the merits and virtues going forward will not be credited to him. It also makes sense that the predecessor behaved differently. The former was not a womanizer, but the latter was obsessed with it."

Several people have already left the stockade, and they are walking on the mountain road at the moment, surrounded by towering green trees and gurgling mountain streams, the scenery is really not bad.

Ji Lanye sneered: "It's a pity that the Miao people protoss, my heavenly court can't find out the origin, otherwise it will be clear."

As they were talking, those Miao people finally stopped, and the four of them also stopped talking.At this time, several people had come to a forest, the forest was deep and dense, and there was no way to go, but they saw that the leading man among them said something, and they knelt down one after another, facing several people. After a few obeisances to Xiangzi, he took a rest, but saw that the trees seemed to be alive, as if they had moved their positions by themselves, and a small path appeared in the middle.

Gu Tailai said in a low voice, "It's the Wuzhen."

At this time, Jin Zi seemed to be afraid again. When the leading man approached her, she couldn't help but struggle more and more until the man took out something from the bag, patted her on the forehead muttering words, and then fell silent for a moment. , as if he had lost his mind, he walked along the path in a daze.

These Miao people were probably not allowed to enter, and they all stepped aside to watch.Gu Tailai and the others saw the right moment and dodged to keep up. Except for the wind, nothing was left for the other party to discover.

They followed Jin Zi and walked a few steps forward along the path, and the trees behind them covered up again, covering the way back.Countless forest trees are like a natural barrier, clustering the only path in the forest, and the surroundings are completely silent, not even the chirping of insects and birds can be heard.After walking for about a stick of incense, the eyes suddenly brightened.

This is an open space in the mountains, covered with a solitary building on stilts, some grains are drying in front of the building, a few baskets are placed in the field, and there are many medicinal herbs spread out inside, Ji Xiaocai hardly recognizes any of them, and some of them seem to be dead A basket full of things like insect eggs is drying in the sun, and some strange stone totems are dotted around the stilted building, like a formation.When Ji Xiaocai and the others walked over, there was a person in front of the building who was turning over medicinal herbs. Upon seeing it, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment. It turned out that it was the man who had come to Dewa's father's house for Mijie's wedding dress. The Miao people of Luodu.

When Jin Zi walked to the front of the house, he didn't move, like a puppet that had lost its instructions, and stood there stupidly.Luo Jie stepped forward, drew something in the space between her forehead, followed by a light clap, Jin Zi woke up in a trance, saw Luo Jie at first glance, still a little dazed, and asked: "Brother Luo Jie, You... why are you here? Where is this place?"

Luo Jie said: "This is the residence of the Great Wizard. At night, you can go to the Great Wizard God by walking the Shinto way from here." He paused, and then said, "As for me, I am a disciple of the Great Wizard. You didn't know it before. Should know by now."

At this time, there was a noise in the stilted building, and the sorcerer who followed Ji Xiaocai and the others appeared in the corridor.He put on a coat, as if he couldn't stand the autumn cold, glanced at Jin Zi, and said to Luo Jie: "She's here? Take her to Crescent Spring to cleanse herself." He coughed a few times as he spoke, and he didn't know if it was an illusion , Ji Xiaocai felt that the wizard seemed to be dying of illness, and he didn't have the momentum he had at Father Dewa's house before.

As soon as Jin Jin saw the wizard, her legs trembled with fright, and she could hardly stand up. She could only hold on to Luo Jie's arm to barely stand. Can't...can I not marry?"

The great wizard said coldly: "Marrying a god is to bring good fortune to the village, and everyone in the whole silver lock village will remember your kindness, which is a good thing."

Jin Zi trembled and said, "But Sister Duo Luojie was murdered by him..."

The great wizard glanced at her fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Witch gods don't harm people. Dorothy will die because she did something wrong and offended the gods. Death is the punishment she deserves! After you get married, As long as you don't disobey the gods, you can enjoy eternal life and wealth, which is much happier than living, dying, dying in the village!"

Jin Jin lowered his head: "I don't want eternal life and wealth, I just want to be with my father and mother, and live, grow old, get sick and die like everyone else! Is this not okay?" At the end of the talk, he was screaming with all his strength.

The great wizard stopped answering Jin Jin's words, tightened his clothes and said, "It's getting late, Luo Jie, take her there, I don't need to teach you any more."

Luo Jie nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Luo Jie understands, my lord, you should go back to your room and rest first." He came to help Jin Zi again, "Jin Zi, let's go."

Jin Zi struggled desperately, punching and kicking like a desperate little beast.Luo Jie grabbed her two arms, restrained her movements, then leaned over and whispered something in her ear, Jin Zi slowly calmed down, his face was full of disbelief.

Luo Jie let go of the gold, stroked her hair and said, "Let's go." After a while, the two left one after the other.Whether it was intentional or not, Luo Jie walked forward, seeming to glance at Ji Xiaocai and the others.

The two of them left, Zhou Zhaoji laughed and said, "Interesting, I guess he can see us."

Ji Lanye frowned, seeming to agree with Zhou Zhaoji's words, but found it unbelievable.

Ji Xiaocai asked: "Master Dao, did you hear what Luo Jie said to Jin Zi? Then... is that true?"

Gu Tailai was noncommittal, and seemed unable to judge, because what Luo Jie said just now was: "Trust me, I will rescue you, just like I rescued Mijie."
