Merchant of the Underworld

The man in the T-shirt carefully checked the small courtyard again and confirmed that there was nothing else important, then ordered the villagers to burn the dog skin and destroy the small building. Without the supply of sun and moon essence, the wild dog spirit will naturally no longer be powerful.

So the crowd immediately started destroying the small courtyard.

When people were having sex in full swing, a whimpering sound suddenly came from the top of the mountain.

The voice had a strange intonation, rising and falling one after another, very miserable, and sounded like it was crying softly.

What is it crying about?

This desolate voice actually made me feel uncomfortable and depressed, and I couldn't help but think about it.

I seemed to see a lonely old dog who was yelled at and beaten by everyone, dependent on the small house he had built with so much effort.

And even such a peaceful life was broken by others. Its most beloved treasure was forcibly taken away by others, and these people even wanted to destroy its small shelter.

It must be very uncomfortable at this moment, right?

From now on, it will no longer have a home, and will have no choice but to wander around, calling itself home all over the world...

"Open your mouth." At this time, the man in the T-shirt suddenly said in my ear.

I opened my mouth subconsciously, and the man in the T-shirt immediately threw a handful of soybeans into my mouth: "Chew it, but don't swallow it."

So I started chewing immediately.

The soybeans were dry and crispy. I bit them and made a squeaking sound. I felt that all the sadness in my mind seemed to be occupied by the squeaking sound. The sadness and sympathy disappeared, only the hatred for the wild dog spirit.

I was very surprised. Did I really sympathize with the wild dog spirit just now, or was I just obsessed with it?

I saw that the other villagers were also depressed and seemed a little reluctant to demolish the small courtyard.

The man in the T-shirt said coldly: "You have a handful of soybeans in your mouth, chew them, don't swallow them."

The villagers were very dull, as if they didn't hear what the man in the T-shirt said.

The man in the T-shirt sighed slightly, then patted me on the shoulder: "Read the Tao Te Ching with me!"

I nodded, put down the hoe in my hand, sat cross-legged on the ground with the man in the T-shirt, and read the Tao Te Ching loudly.

"Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things! All things bear yin and embrace yang, and inject qi into harmony..."

As the "Tao Te Ching" played, the villagers' frustration gradually disappeared. Instead, they waved the farm tools in their hands angrily, destroying the small building in three strokes, and even a little bit of debris was removed. Nothing left.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man in the T-shirt: "What should I do next?"

The man in the T-shirt said: "Go back."

So we followed the man in the T-shirt back.

Back in the village, the whining sound of the wild dog continued, and the sound became more and more like a person crying!

The man in the T-shirt gathered all the villagers in the village's ancestral hall. He was worried that the villagers would be defeated one by one by wild dog spirits, so that everyone could be together and take care of each other.

The man in the T-shirt called me aside and told me that the situation had changed a bit. He and Zen Master Baimei had to go out, and asked Li Mazi and me to guard the place. If you encounter a situation, just use soybeans to protect yourself.

I immediately worried and asked the man in the T-shirt what he was going to do.

The man in the T-shirt said: "Have you heard what the whimpering sound of the wild dog spirit sounds like?"

I said, "It's kind of like someone crying."

"What else?" the man in the T-shirt asked.

"Like...a wolf howling?"

Yes, the barking of that wild dog is indeed very similar to that of a wolf.

The man in the T-shirt nodded: "Yes, it does sound like a wolf. This wild dog is about to become a wolf."

It was like I heard a big joke, and I almost laughed out loud. A wolf is a wolf, and a dog is a dog. No matter how awesome a dog is, it can't become a wolf.

But the man in the T-shirt shook his head: "Snake can turn into a dragon, so why can't a dog become a wolf? When a dog becomes a spirit, it will naturally continue to develop into a wolf, and now, the wild dog spirit is still one step away from becoming a wolf. If it is not stopped, once it turns into a wolf, the villagers will really suffer."

I was extremely shocked after hearing this. A dog will turn into a wolf when it becomes a spirit? What kind of theory is this?

I quickly asked the man in the T-shirt whether he and Zen Master Baimei were going to find the wild dog spirit directly this time.

The man in the T-shirt glanced at the outer wall of the ancestral hall and said to me, "Do you know why that wild dog spirit doesn't dare to go down the mountain and cause trouble for us?"

I shook my head and said that maybe it was because the villagers had stronger telepathy and it could no longer control the villagers' thoughts.

The man in the T-shirt said: "This is one of the reasons, and the other reason is that Zen Master Baimei and I are here. The tactics it adopts are protracted wars. Sooner or later, our food and water will be consumed, but it There are no concerns in this regard, so we have to take proactive measures.”

I immediately became nervous: "You and Zen Master Bai Mei are going to deal with the wild dog spirit? No, that would be too dangerous."

The man in the T-shirt said: "We are not going to deal with the wild dog spirit, but we are leaving the ancestral hall and attracting the wild dog spirit down the mountain. And the two of us are going to find the Haechi Cape."

I became even more worried: "But, can Li Mazi and I defeat the wild dog spirit? What if the wild dog spirit hurts the villagers?"

The man in the T-shirt said: "Don't worry, as long as we can hold on for half an hour, we will be back. Once we get the Haechi horns, this wild dog spirit will have nowhere to go. You have soybeans in your hands, so you should be able to hold on." If you can't hold on any longer, just hide in the ancestral hall and lead the villagers in reciting the Tao Te Ching, no problem."

I hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed. Although it is inevitable to worry, at this point, we have no choice.

In addition, the man in the T-shirt also told me that the villagers are now too dependent on him and Zen Master Baimei. If they leave, the villagers may be afraid and their mindfulness will be affected, so he and Zen Master Baimei are preparing to leave quietly. In case of danger, let me tell the villagers that they are setting up a formation outside the village. As long as they persist for half an hour, there will be no problem.

I nodded immediately and repeatedly told the man in the T-shirt to pay attention to safety!

After that, I entered the crowd.

The man in the T-shirt asked the villagers to take a break. We destroyed the base camp of the wild dog spirit, and the wild dog spirit did not dare to go down the mountain to cause trouble for us for a while.

The man in the T-shirt spoke, and the villagers were convinced, and they all found a place to sit down and rest.

The man in the T-shirt and Zen Master Baimei sneaked out through the back door while the crowd wasn't paying attention. I called Li Mazi, sat down against the wall, and listened carefully to what was going on outside. At the same time, I told Li Mazi the arrangement of the man in the T-shirt.

Li Mazi was very nervous when he heard that the man in the T-shirt had left. He quickly asked if the two of us could deal with the wild dog spirit? It doesn't matter if the two of us are in danger, the key is that there are still a large number of villagers here.

I quickly said it was no problem, and the man in the T-shirt said that as long as he had soybeans and the Tao Te Ching, he could withstand it for a while.

Although Li Mazi was still worried, he accepted the matter calmly.

The wild dog spirit seemed to notice that the man in the T-shirt and Zen Master Bai Mei had left, so not long after the two left, I could clearly hear the barking of dogs coming from the mountain.

It felt like something was roaring down the mountain.

This village is at the foot of the mountain, so any disturbance on the mountain can be heard clearly in the ancestral hall.

Hearing this sound, I began to feel uneasy. I knew that the wild dog spirits were beginning to attack us. I quickly asked Li Mazi to take out his phone and start timing. No matter what, he had to hold on for half an hour.

I stood up and warned the villagers that the wild dog essence was down, and everyone was ready to fight! Also block the front and back doors, as well as all possible exits.

As soon as I told the villagers the news, they immediately became nervous, gathered around, and blocked the doors and entrances. At the same time, they called out to the man in the T-shirt and Zen Master Baimei, asking them what to do.

However, the villagers seemed to find that the man in the T-shirt and Zen Master Baimei were missing, and they suddenly became more nervous and looked like they were about to collapse.

I quickly comforted the villagers and told them not to panic. When the wild dog spirit was moving just now, the man in the T-shirt and Zen Master Baimei had already noticed that the formation was being set up outside the village. As long as we buy half an hour, the man in T-shirt and Zen Master Baimei could set up the formation. When the time comes, the wild dog spirit will be unable to fly.

After hearing what I said, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and stared outside cautiously.
