Exorcism

Xianrenji is close to Jinghu Village, but does not belong to the boundary of Pangshan. Merchants do business with Taoist priests. Years of practice tell them an unbreakable rule: do not ask Taoist priests for help at any time. Xianrenji is not under the jurisdiction of Xianren. They are from Xijie Kingdom The people must report their problems to the local magistrate.

The nearest local magistrate and garrison are also a day's journey away. This gentleman always seems to have endless complex affairs to handle. Small things like wolf attacks can't faze him. The death of five common people may attract some attention, but There must be greater casualties to get help from the Xuanfu Army.

The crowd gathered in the courtyard of the inn. They complained and cried bitterly. They just didn't know how to ask the young Taoist priest for help, because the other party could reject all requests with just one sentence: Taoist Pangshan does not interfere in mortal affairs.

The voice faded, and the expectant eyes of dozens of people fell on the old woman at the front. She was the only one holding the statue in her hand, with a smile on her face and full of confidence.

Granny Mei walked up to Xiaoqiu and said, "I'm not here to ask for your help."

The crowd behind her was startled, and Xiaoqiu was also surprised, "Grandma Mei, it turns out you have been at the Immortal Collection..." He didn't know what to say. He always remembered the scene a few years ago: the old woman was angry The villagers raised her head in the air, chanting curses, and someone blocked her mouth with soil...

"No, I have been wandering outside for the past few years, and I just arrived at the Immortal Collection a few days ago." Granny Mei raised the ancient statue in her hand, "It brought me back."

People in the yard were in awe, even veteran Pan Sanye bowed his head to the statue.

Xiaoqiu didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry, Pangshan has Pangshan's rules..." After all, Xiaoqiu had stayed at Yangshen Peak for several years, so he might not understand every rule, but Xin Youtao explained it to him and he understood it. Li: Pangshan refuses to help Xianrenji because he does not want the residents here to feel dependent. In the long run, Xianrenji will become part of Pangshan, which is neither what the Taoist priests want, nor goes against the long-standing agreement between Taoism and Longbinhui. protocol.

"I know these rules very well." Granny Mei still kept smiling. "In fact, I want to drive away the wolves alone. I just want to invite you to come with me to see it."

The old woman was going to drive away the wolf, and the crowd in the yard were more suspicious than respectful, whispering to each other softly. But no one raised any objection.

Granny Mei's last invitation brought a series of troubles to Xiaoqiu, which have not been completely eliminated yet, but Xiaoqiu still nodded and agreed to this invitation, because those troubles were also opportunities. He cannot blame Mei Chuan'an and her son, but should Thank them.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Xiaoqiu decided that no matter what, he had to help in critical moments, and he couldn't let Granny Mei die in vain.

The residents of Xianrenji had a different view.

In their eyes. This meant that a Pangshan Taoist priest was willing to help, so cheers broke out. More and more people ran in and out of the courtyard, shouting "The Taoist priest is going to take action."

Xiaoqiu must correct everyone's view, otherwise. This might bring him trouble again. Before he could speak, Mr. Pan had already guessed what he was thinking and shouted with a loud voice unique to a veteran: "Everyone, listen to me!"

The crowd fell silent.

"This catechumen came to the Immortal Assembly for personal reasons. He must abide by the rules of Pang Mountain and cannot cast spells outside the mountain. This Granny Mei is from the Ancient God Sect... and she said she can drive away wolves. That's for sure. It will be successful. Everyone, bring your equipment and statues and go out to drive away the wolves. Even if you can’t contribute, you can still support Grandma Mei!”

The rumor about the gathering of immortals was finally changed to "Grandma Mei drove away the wolf", but everyone still whispered, "There is a young Taoist priest protecting him from behind."

Another wolf driving team was formed. It was larger than the one yesterday, with fifty or sixty people. More than half of the men in the group were mobilized. There were really no weapons to use, and some even held rolling pins. Women stand by the roadside distributing idols. Many people received more than one.

The statue did not perform a miracle yesterday, but it did not affect everyone's belief in it. There are various explanations for that failure: the posture of holding the statue was wrong, the heart was not sincere enough, and the failure to communicate with the ancient gods...

Walking at the front of the team with Granny Mei, Xiaoqiu felt vaguely uneasy. The old woman next to her had a stubborn temperament a few years ago, and it was even stronger now. She seemed to want to fight the wolves just out of a desire. Belief, not actual special strength. The crowd was incited and gradually transferred their respect for Pangshan Taoist priest to Granny Mei and the statue in her hand.

Mr. Pan wanted to stay at the inn to take care of the box of precious talismans and armor. Xiaoqiu asked the old woman directly, "Grandma Mei, how will you deal with the wolves later?"

"Use the power you are familiar with." Granny Mei looked up at Xiaoqiu with confidence, "I have always wanted to repay you and that girl for their kindness, and I hope I will have the opportunity today."

Xiao Qiu was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. The most likely thing that happened today was that he saved Granny Mei's life instead of getting something in return.

Granny Mei is short, but her walk is not slow at all. Her steps are as fast as flying, much more agile than a few years ago.

The group of people walked out of the Immortal Collection and headed south along the road. After a few miles, they turned into the wilderness to the west. A young man pointed the direction, "The wolves are at the foot of the mountain. They are very strange. They won't leave when they get there."

In addition to protecting Granny Mei, Xiaoqiu is also a little curious whether the leading one-eyed black wolf is the demon king Qi Wushang who has degenerated into a beast.

It was dark at night, and torches illuminated the knee-high weeds and sparse trees. Xiaoqiu had not walked with so many ordinary people for a long time. In Pangshan, even the disciples of Zhiyong Institute had mostly opened their seven orifices and had their own physiques. Something special.

Xiaoqiu suddenly had the feeling that he was walking among a group of children and was leading them to fight with another group of children. The gap between Taoist disciples and mortals was probably created little by little, he thought.

Granny Mei raised the statue in her hand and said loudly: "Put out the torch!"

The torches were extinguished one by one, and there was an indescribable majesty in the old woman's voice, which was more convincing than the strongest young man in the gathering.

There was no light, so the team's march slowed down. After walking for a while, their eyes gradually adapted to the night, and they could see the faint mountains in the distance. Suddenly, a wolf howled came, and everyone involuntarily shuddered and stopped.

Granny Mei turned around and said, "You stay here."

Everyone was eager for such an arrangement and nodded hurriedly.

Granny Mei nodded towards Xiaoqiu. The two of them continued walking, and after they were far away from the crowd, Xiaoqiu asked: "Grandma Mei, did you know that I would come to the Fairy Fair?"

"I heard yesterday that a young Taoist priest came to the inn. I guessed it might be you, but unfortunately I didn't catch up. If you don't come today, I will come to drive away the wolves, but I am very happy to meet you, because you and Miss Qin "My son's death was not in vain, and I will never forget this kindness."

This is a sad and stubborn mother who has not forgotten her son Mei Chuanan and still wants to clear his name. Xiaoqiu didn't answer because he didn't know how to tell her that it was just a low-level illusion spell that already existed. It belongs to the Nianxin Department and has been abandoned for many years, and I don't want to tell him that the spell may cause mysterious "real illusion" phenomena.

The wolves sensed the approach of humans and howled one after another. There seemed to be hundreds of them. Xiaoqiu saw the dense wolf eyes like fireflies from a distance, and now she could see the ferocity and hunger in them more clearly.

They haven't swarmed up yet, and Xiaoqiu is very surprised.

Granny Mei turned around and said, "Stop too, I'll go by myself."

I haven’t seen her for a few years. The old woman who cooked and delivered meals to the Yingbin Hotel has a crisp and clear leadership temperament.

Xiaoqiu stopped. It wasn't that she was stopped by the order, but along the way, she discovered that Granny Mei still walked easily and steadily even in the weeds, which was obviously different from ordinary people.

He somewhat believed that this old woman really had the ability to drive away wolves, but he was still prepared in case of crisis. Still had time to rush forward.

Most of the wolves did not move. Nine wolves came out and slowly faced the bold humans. The leader was indeed a one-eyed black wolf.

But it is not the demon king, after Xiaoqiu condenses the pill. Even without using his Third Eye, his vision was far superior to that of ordinary people. He could see clearly that this black wolf was bigger and had a faint hint of demonic aura. In comparison, the black wolf that the demon king had degenerated into was very ordinary.

The people at the gathering were right. This group of wolves was quite special. Under the command of the alpha wolf, the movement was well-organized, like a well-disciplined army. The nine wolves faced Granny Mei head-on, and there were more than ten more wolves on the wings. The wolf quietly covered the rear. Xiaoqiu saw it and didn't take any measures.

Granny Mei completely ignored the situation on both sides and strode towards the main force of the wolf pack. Her short and fat body looked even dwarfed in the grass, but the grass was not a hindrance to her at all. Her steps became bigger and bigger, and in the end she almost Like a big ball rolling rapidly.

When they were forty or fifty steps apart, the nine wolves acting as the vanguard accelerated their speed and entered the attack state. Xiaoqiu also moved forward slowly. He had to ensure that he could block all the wolves with one blow.

Grandma Mei raised the statue high. She held the body of the snake, exposing the three divine heads, and shouted loudly in front of the beasts coming at her: "The ancient gods are here, the beasts stay away, stay away!"

The statue had no effect. The one-eyed black wolf running at the front had already jumped up, and Xiaoqiu was also ready to save people.

"Don't miss it! Don't miss it!" The old woman sternly chanted the spell, w.ans.co A whirlwind suddenly blew on the quiet grassland, bringing a deep chill that did not belong to late spring.

Grandma Mei had no fear, kept chanting incantations, and pointed the statue in her hand at the one-eyed black wolf.

The black wolf seemed to have been hit by some kind of sharp weapon. He screamed in the air, fell to the ground, got up immediately, turned around and ran away. The other wolves followed in panic.

The wolves retreated, but the old woman's spell did not stop, and her voice became shriller and shriller. Wherever the statue in her hand pointed, there were gusts of wind, low grass and trees, and wolves howling.

Mu Xingqiu, a disciple of Pangshan, saw everything clearly. What surprised him most was not that Granny Mei actually cast the spell, but that the spell she recited was wrong.

The spell she recited aloud when she was expelled from the village a few years ago was wrong, and she has not corrected it to this day. "Wrong or Luo Wen Mo" was pronounced as "Cao Luo or Wen Mo". As far as Xiaoqiu knows, the spell The accuracy requirements are extremely high, even if the pronunciation is slightly inaccurate, let alone the two words being reversed.

But the wrong spell still took effect!
