Chapter two hundred and eighty third ancient immortal in evil
"Big brother!"
Wang Shu jumped down from the stone, looked around for a few times, and then shouted anxiously. Unfortunately, except for the mountain wind that blew slowly across the stream and brought moist moisture, there was no response.
"Immortal!"
The girl continued to shout unwillingly. The big brother who was talking to her just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Wang Shu! Who are you calling?"
An old ox chewing grass in its mouth passed by. On the ox's broad back, a urchin with a slicked back was hanging a handful of young grass from a bamboo pole to guide the old ox forward.
"I was just talking to a very good-looking older brother, did you see him?"
Although the girl had no hope, she still asked the child who always wanted to play with her.
"Were you talking to someone just now? You were clearly alone just now!"
The urchin's eyes were full of doubts, and then he reacted and suddenly widened his eyes.
"Did you get hit by something evil?"
"You just hit the devil!"
Wang Shu suddenly became angry. Although her character was calmer than other children of the same age, she had no memory of her past life and was still just a child.
"But didn't you just say that you were talking to a very good-looking older brother? But I have been watching you secretly just now, and there is no one else around you at all."
The young naughty boy vowed, and at this moment, his mind suddenly flooded with the bizarre and slightly terrifying stories he had heard.
Suddenly, he shouted, threw the bamboo stick with the young grass tied in his hand to the ground, jumped off the back of the ox with agility, and then rushed into the village without even wanting the old ox.
"It's not good, it's not good, Wang Shu is possessed by evil spirits!"
The naughty boy ran and shouted loudly. Soon an adult heard the noise and came out to check.
"Xiao Wu, what are you calling?"
"Wang Shu is possessed by evil spirits. I just saw him alone, but she said she was chatting with a very good-looking older brother!"
The naughty boy explained, then rushed into Wang Shu's house and shouted loudly to the aunt who was cleaning the firewood room and her hands were covered with dust,
"Auntie is not good. Your wife Wang Shu is possessed by an evil spirit. You should go and see her as soon as possible. If it is later, her soul will be taken away."
The naughty boy's words immediately frightened the village woman. She threw away the firewood in her hand and hurriedly grabbed it and asked,
"Don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with my Shu'er?"
"She's possessed!"
As a result, a group of elderly village women rushed to the entrance of the village, and the men who were working in the fields also rushed back carrying farm tools.
"Isn't this man still fine?"
When the adults arrived, they saw a girl with a rosy complexion and a slightly dazed look in her eyes. It seemed that she didn't understand why she was suddenly surrounded by adults.
"Shu'er, are you okay?"
The peasant woman in commoner clothes and jade hairpin hugged her eldest daughter tightly, her expression full of anxiety. However, after she looked her daughter up and down, and reached out to touch her daughter, she realized that there was no problem, and her heart suddenly became anxious.
Just let it go.
"Xiao Wu, you little bastard, you are talking nonsense again, wait until you get home and see if I don't skin you off!"
On the side, another peasant woman got the news and ran over. She was furious. She pulled out her son from a group of little guys who were joining in the fun. She was still shouting "Wang Shu is possessed by evil spirits" and raised her hand to hit his butt.
He was slapped twice.
The crisp sound of flesh illustrates how much power the mother has poured into her son, followed by the urchin's cries full of grievances.
"Woo...wow...I'm not lying. Wang Shu just told me that she saw a big brother. I was right next to him and never saw anyone."
In the midst of the children's wailing, the adults' eyes fell on Wang Shu, whose face had returned to calmness and looked extremely mature. Obviously, this girl's words were more credible.
"Shu'er, were you really talking to someone just now?"
Although the girl realized something was wrong, she had never experienced anything similar before. So when her mother asked her, she subconsciously chose to tell the truth.
"I'm not possessed by evil spirits. I was just talking to a very good-looking older brother. He was wearing very beautiful clothes. He said that the fairy mountain is called Jiuwei Mountain and that there really are immortals on the mountain. He also said...
"
"Okay, stop talking!"
The girl's mother interrupted her description, and then looked at the man whose face had become extremely serious. The hoe in his hand was still stained with wet soil. He had just received the news and started walking from the field without his feet touching the ground.
Came back in a hurry.
"Did you see anyone come into the village?"
"No."
The man's face had become extremely serious, and the expressions of the surrounding villagers had also become extremely solemn, and some of them had uneasiness on their faces.
"I didn't see any outsiders entering the village."
"Where can such a person exist?"
The farmers who were working outside rushed back one after another, and after checking with each other, it was basically confirmed that no outsiders entered the village at all today.
"Big brother didn't come from the ground, he said he flew down from the sky."
Wang Shu opened her mother's hand and said seriously that she had no idea of lying because she had been taught honesty and integrity since she was a child.
"Heaven?"
Most of the villagers who came over after hearing the news unconsciously looked up at the sky, and some looked at the fairy mountains in the distance with a look of uncertainty on their faces.
"Isn't it true that an immortal has come to our village?"
Some villagers were surprised and doubtful, but they believed what the girl said. After all, she flew down from the sky, so they could naturally think of an immortal.
"Maybe it's something unclean?"
Some people couldn't help but refute and put forward different opinions.
"Where did the unclean things come from in broad daylight?"
"Look at Shu'er, isn't she so lively and has nothing going on?"
"It looks fine now, but at night, it won't be sure!"
"Let me tell you, while it's still dark, hurry up and ask a gentleman to come back and take a look. Even if something happens, it will be easier to deal with. If nothing happens, it will only cost you some money!"
"This is a good idea, but it just depends on whether Shu'er's father is willing to part with the money!"
"..."
The man couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on his face. The price of hiring a gentleman who could exorcise evil spirits could be said to be extremely high for ordinary farmers like them. Unless it was a big deal, he would never spend such money. His daughter now looked at
It's no big deal when I get up.
"Why don't we wait until tomorrow and take a look again? If that doesn't work, you guys can pool some money and ask a gentleman to come back and take a look. There are not only Shu'er on this road, there are also many little kids playing here. If there really is anything
It’s better to have a way to deal with unclean things.”
Wang Shu listened to the adults' discussion and finally realized that something was wrong, but at this time she had no right to speak.
Even when she was taken back by her parents, she kept saying that she was not possessed by evil spirits, but they believed in her own judgment now.
So, at noon the next day, even though there was nothing unusual about Wang Shu, a Taoist priest came to the village.
It was a Taoist priest who looked very young, and his facial features were obviously normal, but made people feel a little wretched. Wang Shu was brought to him, and then he stared at him for a moment.
"Your daughter has indeed come into contact with unclean things. She is just contaminated with a little evil spirit. It is not a serious problem. I will just give him a bowl of talisman water."
After hearing the Taoist priest's words, Wang Shu finally understood where the disgust that arose in her heart came from when she saw the Taoist priest for the first time. However, her words at this time were all ignored by the adults.
He could only watch helplessly as the Taoist priest, or rather a liar, took out a talisman paper with exquisitely drawn runes and even a faint red light from his arms. Then the talisman paper spontaneously ignited without fire, and the ashes in it fell.
In a bowl of clear water.
Even though Wang Shu was unwilling in every possible way, she was still forced by her parents to drink the bowl of talisman water. The moment the water fell into her stomach, she felt dizzy. Before she fell asleep completely, she heard
That liar's voice.
"It will be fine after your daughter wakes up."
"Thank you, Taoist priest!"
She also heard the voices of her parents crying with gratitude, but after hearing these two sentences, her consciousness completely fell into darkness.
When she regained consciousness again and opened her eyes suddenly, she found that the sky outside had darkened, and the dim light of day and night fell outside the window and fell into the room.
"How does it feel?"
The handsome face of the young man came into view, and the bright smile was unbridled and unconcealed. The charm of schadenfreude in it could not be more obvious.
"You hurt me?"
The girl's face was a little angry. She grinned like a kitten with fried hair. The experience of being force-fed talisman water was never pleasant. She had never experienced anything similar before, so she took it.
This is a recipe for disaster.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Seeing the angry look on the reincarnation of the ancient immortal in front of him, Feng Bingwen, who was sitting on the table, burst into laughter.
"You are stupid, how can you say it was me who harmed you? How does the talisman water taste? Is it delicious?"
"Is this a test?"
The girl wrinkled her nose and was very dissatisfied, but her reaction was not slow.
"You can regard this as a test. How did you perform in this test? I shouldn't need to say more!"
Feng Bingwen was slightly startled, and then he continued following the words.
To be honest, until now, he has not thought about how to be the protector of this reincarnated ancient immortal.
According to what he understood, a true guardian would only help the guardian when his life is in danger. Normally, he should just pretend that he does not exist and not interfere with anything.
But when he saw the reincarnation of this ancient immortal, he knew that he could not do nothing and had to intervene. Otherwise, the ancient immortal might have to spend this life as a mortal.
He originally watched the reincarnation of this ancient immortal and thought about whether to introduce this ancient immortal to Jiuwei Mountain and let him worship in this Immortal Dao Xuan Sect. Anyway, it is also an excellent place for cultivation.
place.
But when the ancient immortal reincarnated and asked him if he could be his disciple, his original idea was overturned and a new idea emerged.
It seems that it would be good to accept her as a disciple, as the identities of protector and master do not conflict.
It's just that the ancient immortal who has no memory is extremely mediocre from all aspects. Feng Bingwen observed it for a long time and couldn't find any advantages.
He doesn't have any special physique, just the most ordinary mortal body. As for the qualifications for cultivating immortals, well, he does have affinity with spiritual energy, but he seems to have only reached the lowest level of cultivating immortals.
Xuanzong, which has a slightly higher standard, will not accept a disciple with this qualification, because with this kind of qualification, even if you practice hard for a lifetime, you will not achieve much.
"I told the truth, but they didn't believe me."
Wang Shu was also very distressed.
"Pay attention to your age. They have spent dozens of springs, summers, autumns and winters, and of course they trust their own judgment more."
Feng Bingwen didn't care about the girl's distress. He took this opportunity to teach the girl,
"When you have something that is different from ordinary people and cannot be understood by ordinary people, you should learn to hide it, rather than shouting loudly and making everyone know it. Especially when you don't have the power to protect yourself, you should hide it. ."
"Can't even my parents say it?"
"You can tell your parents what I told you later. Do you think they will believe and understand you, or will they force you to drink a second bowl of talisman water?"
Feng Bingwen asked with a smile.
"I must be asked to drink talisman water, they won't believe what I say."
The girl's expression suddenly dimmed.
"Because they have not experienced the same thing as you. Compared with immortals, it is easier to encounter the 'dirty things' hidden in the fields and wilderness."
The so-called "dirty things" are evil spirits that are born from the bad luck and miscellaneous energy between heaven and earth gathered in the evil place. However, most of these spirits have no ability to harm people.
As long as the blood and energy of ordinary people are functioning normally, there is no need to be afraid. Only when they are in a daze and their blood and energy are exhausted are they likely to be taken advantage of by these evil spirits. The elderly and children are often the targets they choose to erode.
"Did I fail the test?"
The girl listened silently to what Feng Bingwen said, then raised her head, her eyes dim, like a withered flower.
"Are you not going to accept me as your disciple?"
"How come?"
Feng Bingwen looked at the pitiful expression of the reincarnated ancient immortal, laughed dumbly, and nonchalantly confided what he had experienced when he was young in this life.
"When I was younger than you, my family also drank talisman water, and then I became behaving."
"So, big brother, you have also drank talisman water?"
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and her red lips bloomed like flowers,
"Then do I still have a chance?"
"It all depends on your next performance!"
Feng Bingwen had a reserved expression on his face and was not prepared to say anything more.
