Chapter 77
"Did you see my kids?"
"Did you see my child?"
The woman's face was thin, her eyes were straight, her uppers were worn out, her toes were exposed, and her raised fingernails were stuffed with yellow mud. She seemed to be a little unconscious. When she walked on the street, she saw someone coming forward to ask this question.
Passers-by were impatient, and they were even afraid when they saw her like this, so they hurriedly avoided her, and they even shook their heads and said a few words about madmen. Since Xin Xiu came out of the mountain, she has seen many "madmen". The small jar she carried with her still contains a bit crazy and stupid female ghost.
She had just bought white rice cakes at a street stall, and the woman asked in front of her. The woman thought she would be the one who waved her hand and drove her away like before, but she didn't expect to hear a sentence: "Have you lost your child? What do you look like?"
The woman was stunned and realized that the person in front of her asked her, and quickly replied: "My two children are a brother and sister, one is five years old and the other is three years old. I went to work in the field and they were playing in the house. After I went back, I couldn't find them. I couldn't find them everywhere..."
Xin Xiu heard her speak incoherently for a while, and reached out to hold her hand, "Come here."
Because she is both a woman and looks quite beautiful, the woman did not struggle and followed her obediently to the side, saying, "Why did she lose her sight, she disappeared in a blink of an eye?"
Xin Xiu walked to the uninhabited house and said, "Put your finger out, I will take a drop of blood to help you find the child."
The woman was confused and understood something, so she quickly stretched out her hands. Xin Xiu tapped on the ugly hands, pierced a little and took out the blood. The blood beads condensed into a round red bead in her hands, and began to rotate.
The woman asked nervously: "Where is my child? Where is my child?"
Xin Xiu looked at her and found that she was indeed a little confused. She reached out to her eyebrows and pointed: "You go home first, I will send it back for you to find your child."
The woman's eyes slowly calmed down from the madness, and she turned around and left like a sleepwalking.
Xin Xiu took the red bead and they rested in the city today. Xin Xiu was wearing the skin of Zhu Rong, feeling uncomfortable. He asked the fourth generation class to come and walk on the street. Seeing that the rice cakes were made were good, he bought some to take them back for Sister Bai and the fourth and fifth brothers to try.
She went back and divided the rice cake first, stuffed it into her mouth and ate it, and observed the red bead in the palm of her hand from time to time.
"Sister, what is this?"
"Well, a little trick to find people. I just took on a side mission on the street."
"Sister, you're talking about things you can't understand again."
"I'll help someone, if it's soon, I'll be back in the evening."
Seeing that she clapped her hands and got up and wanted to leave, Shen Tuyu also stood up and prepared to go with her.
Xin Xiu raised his hand and pressed him back, "Sister Bai, aren't you still injured? Have a good rest. I can just go there alone such a small thing."
At this time, Xin Xiu really thought that this was a small thing that could be accomplished casually. When she was away, she no longer knew how many such small things she had done casually.
Walking on the wall, following the message conveyed by the blood beads, he walked in one direction, but when he passed by a willow tree, the blood beads suddenly became irregular. Xin Xiu stopped and plucked the blood beads, confirming that his magic was correct. Since this was the case, it must have had some impact on him.
Finally, her eyes were fixed on the willow tree. There were many willow trees planted in this house yard. Xin Xiu remembered that a senior brother in Shuling learned to calculate and liked to use willow branches the most. Like pine, peach, cypress and other trees, these trees are occasionally regarded as mediums and used to perform some magic.
So, she thought it was a task to find a lost child, but there was something inside? Who used a spell to interfere?
When they came, they refused Sister Bai's help. Wouldn't it be too shameful if they went back to ask for help now? Xin Xiu jumped out of the yard and hugged the willow tree directly. He uprooted it hard, and then pulled out the willow tree from another family.
She learned some Bagua formations with a senior brother, but solving the formation is as difficult as solving advanced math problems, which is even more difficult than that. When she went back to talk to her master, she asked if there was any general method of solving the formation. Her master thought for a moment and told her: "If you notice something is wrong, you will directly destroy that thing, and you will probably make a breakthrough."
Her master's direct method seems to be really useful, and it is worthy of the wisdom of the elders.
The person who set up the formation was probably not very powerful, or was very casual when setting up the arrangement, and was easily broken by her half-baked man. Xin Xiu didn't notice any danger and went straight to the destination. Seeing a figure shaking in the yard with the lights in front of him, a huge fog suddenly spread in front of him, and another formation was spread out.
Xin Xiu's eyes turned dark green in blinking. Through the fog, she saw a woman in the yard holding two children and turning her head away, leaving two men. Seeing that she didn't seem to be confused by the fog, the two men waved her willow whip in her hand and prepared to stop her.
Xin Xiu raised his hand and threw the panda dingdang down. The panda dingdang became bigger in the air, and sat on the face of one of the men and smashed him to the ground. Xin Xiu went directly over them to chase the woman. Unexpectedly, an old lady suddenly appeared in front of her. The willow stick in her hand was a little bit on the ground, and the willow wood formed a cage and wrapped them in a wooden cage.
"Why are you causing trouble for us?" The old lady spoke in a gentle tone. As soon as she lifted her butt, she would automatically weave a chair to sit down.
Xin Xiu raised her eyebrows: "Those two children just now are not yours, right? Are you still confident that you can abduct children?"
The old lady shook her head: "We are not abducting, we need two children, we just chose them."
Xin Xiu: "Snatching a child is snatching a child, saying nothing."
The old lady: "Well, so what if we snatch the child?"
Xin Xiu: "I promised their mother and sent the child back."
The old lady: "It's just a child of two mortals. There should be nothing that ordinary mortals can invite strangers. I think you are young and have such cultivation. If you don't meddle in other people's business, I'll let you leave."
Xin Xiu: "I like to meddle in other people's business the most in my life." She smiled, and the willow cage behind her was torn apart by a pair of black cages. Xin Xiu stepped on the panda's cage lightly and was held out by it. She threw a big fireball into the willow cage from the torn gap, which would explode.
"boom--"
Xin Xiu was a woman who didn't look back and looked at the explosion. She was too lazy to care whether the old lady who was sitting on the willow chair was blown into a flower. She sat on Dingdang and asked it to chase people quickly.
Dingdang ran faster than herself, but in just a moment, the woman who left with the child had already left a long way. Xin Xiu could only chase a river with the help of the shaking blood beads and saw the figure disappearing in the middle of the river.
When I went back to the previous yard, the old lady and the two men disappeared.
Xin Xiu: "Damn, I have never promised someone else that I can't do."
I thought I had taken on a random side mission, but I didn't expect there was a hidden mission behind it.
Xin Xiu went back and said this, "It seems that it will take some time to delay. Zhu Rong protector, you said you are going to stay here for a few more days. I will ask Lao Wu and I to find someone." Lao Wu Wooden Sect, those people seem to have a lot to do with Liu Mu. Maybe Lao Wu can help.
When the fourth brother saw that his elder sister called Zhu Rong to him for the Dharma Protector, his face collapsed: "The fifth brother is inconvenient in legs and feet, so I'll go with you." He was uncomfortable in his appearance as Zhu Rong, and felt a smell of pork. Both of them wanted to take off their pig skin and turn back into a human being two days later.
Xin Xiu: "Don't he have a mount? Just let Taoist Niu carry him. I think he is more reluctant to stay and play the role of Zhu Rong's guardian than going out with me."
Lao Wu was sweating, "Fourth brother, I really can't act." He dressed up as Zhu Rong's guardian, and didn't know what was going on. He had the effect of spring breeze and rain, which made him feel awkward.
The fourth brother looked at them silently.
The beautiful background board next to him Bai Wuqing, listened to Lao Wu's words, and felt empathy, feeling sad, and stood up and said, "I'll go together."
Xin Xiu gently pressed his sister Bai back again: "Sister is well recuperating, this matter has nothing to do with you, so why bother you?"
Shen Tuyu: I regretted that I had lied to me that I was injured before.
He discovered that if he told a lie, he would have to go through countless lies. Panda's heart was so tired when he drew round paintings.
Xin Xiu led Lao Wu to the previous house to see the willow trees. Lao Wu reached out to cover the willow trees, closed his eyes for a while, and spoke: "I felt... a lot of water, abundant water vapor, heavy fog... water sieve, dragon-shaped river."
"My Technique of Acupuncture is not very powerful, I can only see these through them." Lao Wu exhaled and withdrew his hand, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Xin Xiu: "It's amazing enough. Let's go and see the river where people disappeared."
The two searched by the river for a while, "You see a dragon-shaped river. Such rivers are rare. Since the woman disappeared here, I suspect that the dragon-shaped river might connect this area of water."
Lao Wu drew the river she saw on the ground.
Xin Xiu: "We flew into the sky to find it. Such a special shape can be sure that it will not be missed."
Xin Xiu rode a flying motorcycle to carry Lao Wu, turning Taoist Niu into a small one and was placed on his knees by Lao Wu. He flew forward for a while, Lao Wu pulled her clothes, "Sister, I feel like there."
Under Lao Wu's induction, Xin Xiu rode for half a day and finally saw the dragon-shaped river from the sky. During the slow landing, Xin Xiu saw large areas of willow trees on the bank of the river, and the branches of the willow trees showed a kind of red color. At the foot of the green mountains in the distance, you could vaguely see the blue brick walls and the black tiled roof.
"Sister, do you mean the person who abducted the child live there? Well, why do you look at me like that?"
Xin Xiu: "I saw that there were two words 'good people' written on your face. It was very good. Xiaowu, I will turn into an old man later, holding a cow, and you will talk to them, and you will say you are passing by. It's late and you want to stay here for a night. Do you know?"
Lao Wu: "...Sister, you know that my acting skills are not good, so I try not to reveal any flaws."
A moment later, an old man who bent over and looked quite tough, and a young man in green who was sitting on the back of a cow were walking on the road to the town. As soon as they walked past the bluestone bridge in front of the town, two young people came over and looked at them with vigilance: "Who are you, what are you doing here?"
Lao Wu sat on the horse's back and moved his empty feet, but he didn't care about the sympathy of the two young men. He had a smile on his face and a little restrained, and said slightly red: "We were passing by here. It was late. I thought of resting in the town for a night, and I didn't see other families around... Are you not allowed to stay here?"
Lao Wu had a harmless face and a gentle temperament that would not lie. The two young men looked at each other and hesitated, and finally led them in. One of them turned around and said to them as he walked: "Actually, we were not like this in the past. We welcome strangers to visit, but in two days it will be our Dragon Mother Festival. This is a very important festival. In order to avoid problems, we are inevitably more alert."
Lao Wu sat on the cow and said apologetically: "I'm so sorry, I'm disturbed. We stayed for one night and left."
The young man turned his head to look at him and laughed twice, "You're welcome, I'll talk to my grandma first and see which one you want to live in."
Lao Wu: "That's really a trouble for you."
They were waiting under the town archway. Xin Xiu disguised himself as an old man, squinted his eyes and cages his sleeves, and looked at a monument next to him. There were many words on it that she didn't recognize - the words here are different from those common words in Shuling, so it's so troublesome to say that the words are not unified.
Fortunately, there are some characters that are very similar to the ones she knows. They can be roughly able to read the context. The stele is about the story of the Dragon Mother. Many years ago, the dragon Mother appeared here. She traveled through clouds and rain, turning this barren land into such fertile fertile land, and also gave the people here a strong body and the ability to communicate with clouds and rain. Therefore, this place is also called Fengyu Town.
She looked up at the ancient archway, which really contained three big characters Fengyu Town on it, with auspicious cloud patterns and lifelike dragon patterns carved around it, which were extremely exquisite.
