Feeling that some disaster might be about to happen, I suddenly heard a "thump" in my heart. The power of my disaster was "disaster". Could this disaster be related to my disaster?
Just when I was thinking this, my intuition told me that the disaster here had nothing to do with me, but with that piece of jade scale.
Thinking of the jade scales, I looked at Zhang Rui.
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what I meant. He patted his backpack, indicating that the jade scales were in his backpack.
I immediately understood that the scales on the child's face were related to Zhang Rui bringing the jade scales here, so we had to save the child. If the child died because of the jade scale disease, it would be our fault.
That's big.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law asked me what the problem was.
I said: "The first question is, that old house of yours was the one that was washed away by the flood. When was it built? Who built it? Is there any explanation?"
The woman in her fifties said: "I heard this from my father-in-law. I heard that it originally belonged to a landlord. Later, after liberation, the landlord was overthrown. When the house was divided, the house was given to our father-in-law's family.
From then on, my father-in-law’s house will stay with me.”
"I heard that the house was built during the Qianlong period and is quite old!"
I continued to ask: "Do you know the origin of the name of Yulingou Village?"
The woman thought for a while and then said: "I have heard about this. Our village is only a few hundred years old. It seems that our Yulingou ancestors moved here during the Kangxi period. As for why it is called Yulingou
, there is also a legend that when the family arrived here, they found a cave in the mountain. They lived in the cave for a night, and when they woke up the next day, they found that they were holding a jade scale in their arms.
Each family thought that the jade scales were a treasure and a good omen, so they chose to settle here and built an ancestral hall to enshrine the jade scales."
"Sure enough, with the blessing of the jade scale, the ancestors of Yulingou had good weather and became prosperous. Many people nearby came to live here and became their tenant farmers."
"But during the Qianlong period, a group of bandits came here. They seemed to have smashed the ancestral hall and took the jade scales away. However, the bandits were quickly chased by officers and soldiers, and the jade scales were not recovered."
"This is the whole legend of the village."
I nodded and it became clear. The jade scales were not snatched away by bandits, or were chased back by officers and soldiers. No matter what the reason was, the ancestors of Yulingou Village must have realized that this treasure of jade scales cannot be leaked to others.
Because of the situation, he hid the jade scales in the gray tiles.
He built a house and hid it on the roof.
No one will come specifically to grab a piece of tile.
As for why that family later forgot about hiding the jade scales in the wall, I can't figure it out.
According to this legend, there should be a cave in Yulingou, so I asked the woman where the cave was.
The woman shook her head and said, "There's no such thing as a hole. It's just a legend. You still take it seriously!"
Of course I took it seriously.
I asked a few questions next, but the woman couldn't answer them, so I didn't ask any more questions.
When I stopped asking questions, the young woman asked me how to treat her child.
When I was hesitating, the curse insect said to me: "That's a kind of curse. I can break it. Take the bamboo tube that contains me and rub it on the jade scale. I can naturally help the child."
Lift the curse and restore health."
I nodded, walked over, and then did as the curse walking insect said.
Sure enough, after I applied it four or five times, the child's jade scales began to dissipate, leaving only a patch of redness and swelling on the child's face.
Seeing this, my mother-in-law and my daughter-in-law quickly thanked me and asked me how much money they would give me.
I smiled and said, "I don't want any money. Okay, the child is fine. Let's take the child back to rest. We'll go around the neighborhood again."
After that, we left the family.
Next, we asked the elders in the village about the origin of Yulingou. Everyone told the same story, which was not much different from what we heard for the first time.
So we planned to go around the nearby mountains and look for any hidden caves.
When we were preparing to leave the village, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to us just now with the baby in their arms. They insisted on asking me for my mobile phone number, saying they were afraid that the baby would get sick again and there would be no one to treat her.
I thought for a moment and gave them my cell phone number.
They made sure they got through to me before leaving, and we went straight into the mountain along a path.
After arriving in the mountain, I directly released the Demon King Thorn Deer from the backpack. It was probably suffocated inside. As soon as I released it, I ran around in the ravine at a very fast speed, waiting for it to come back.
When I was there, I also brought back a hare.
When I saw that the rabbit was still alive, I asked the Demon King to release it. My heart was beating so hard, and I always felt that it was not good to kill animals at this time.
The Demon King Thorny Deer also listened to my words and released the hare without any reluctance.
After the hare was released, it ran away with a "whoosh" sound.
The hare ran to the north of the mountain. We would definitely not find anything along the path into the mountain, so after walking for a while, we divided into two teams and started searching in two directions.
Nangong Fan and I are in a group, and the remaining three of them are in a group.
On our side, I have a very strong power of mind, and Nangong Fan's Eye of the Galaxy can search very quickly.
On their side, Chai Min is sensitive to smells and sounds, while Hu Jiashu can communicate with plants, so he is not afraid of missing anything when searching.
As for Zhang Rui, he has the secret technique of the Wuling clan. Although we don't know what the secret technique is yet, he can definitely help.
We searched several ridges in succession, but found nothing. We walked deeper and deeper into the mountains.
Soon it will get later and later.
It was getting late, so the five of us gathered together to prepare to return to Yulingou to rest. But just as we were gathering to return, I heard the sound of crows in the distance.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
The sound was very dense, not just one or two, but a group of crows.
Then a group of crows flew over our heads and flew towards Yulingou.
When I saw this, I said: "Let's go back to Yulingou quickly, something may happen there!"
Hu Jiashu also said: "It is indeed not a good sign for so many crows to fly that way in the evening."
At this time, my cell phone also rang, and I saw that it was the phone number of the woman in her fifties who told us the story today.
As soon as the call was connected, she said: "Master, where are you? Come to our village quickly. Many people in our village have that strange disease. They have green pimples on their faces. They are all screaming in pain.
.”
I asked them about their family situation.
She said: "Everyone in our family is fine, so the villagers came to our house and asked us how we prevented it. I told you about you, and they begged me to call you.
Let you come back for treatment!"
I said: "Okay, I know, let them wait at your house, I will go over right away!"
When we went back, our speed was much faster. We flew all the way and arrived at the entrance of the village in less than half an hour. Our flying speed was faster than those crows, so we flew over one step ahead of those crows.
But judging by the distance, those crows will fly over in more than ten minutes.
I have a strong feeling in my heart that once those crows arrive in this village, the disaster for the entire village will begin.
I expressed my feelings and then said to everyone: "Everyone should be careful when entering the village!"
The companions also nodded one after another.
Soon we arrived at the home of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there were hundreds of people outside their door, including young and old.
And before I even got here, I heard all kinds of wailing sounds, including women crying, children, old people crying, and even some men crying.
The whole village seemed to be staged a human tragedy.
Seeing us coming, all the adults in the village came over and some even knelt down and begged us to treat them.
I also took a look and saw that each of them had a jade scale growing on their cheeks. I didn’t say anything more and just took out the bamboo tube containing the curse insects and started to remove the curse for those people.
The Cursed Insect also had no complaints.
I didn't dare to delay, so I looked towards the mountains in the distance while treating them, for fear that the crows would fly over before I could fully cure them.
According to the method of the Cursed Insect, I could save fifteen or six people in one minute, so in less than ten minutes the jade scales on the faces of the entire village disappeared, but their faces were still severely swollen, and although the pain was relieved,
, but it cannot disappear completely.
So here we can still hear the cries of several children.
In order to relieve their pain, my companions also used Taoist techniques to relieve their pain, which made them feel better.
Just as we were giving everyone pain relief, crows all over the sky flew over. I saw there were thousands of them.
After the crows came over, they all landed on the trees and eaves near us, and many others continued to circle and crow in the air.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
For a moment, everyone was frightened by this scene. Everyone started talking about what could be going on. Some people even wanted to go home and hide. I immediately stopped those people and said: "Everyone is here tonight, who is it?"
Don’t act alone, otherwise something will happen!”
I had just cured them of jade scale disease, so they all listened to me. After I finished speaking, they came towards us.
I carefully observed the crows nearby and found that those crows also had jade scales on their cheeks. They were constantly circling and flying in the air, as if they were waiting for something to come here.
They are all controlled by some kind of power, and that power is related to the jade scales.
Who will be the real master we face this time?
Could it be the jade dragon from Dajin Mountain!? (To be continued)
