Tangli flowers reflect the poplar trees, which is the place where life and death part.

[Part1·Magic Weapon]
When the spirit sister stepped onto the corridor, she looked at the devastated courtyard and caught a glimpse of the wounds on the wooden beams and columns. They were all traces of the battle left by Fang Fang Huan Meng when she subdued the wolf monster.
This ferocious dog is much smarter than the evil wolf. It will wake up immediately when it smells the smell of blood——
——Perhaps "Sister" has already suffered! There are domineering and arrogant killing sword auras everywhere in this courtyard. If you step on the cracks in the floor, you will feel cold on the soles of your feet, and there will be a dull pain in your skin and flesh!
There is a master! He is an immortal who has cultivated the external incarnation of his body and has pure spiritual energy and strong spiritual power!
"Noble..."
When she saw Zhang Congfeng walking towards him with a cheerful face, she was immediately frightened and felt weak, and she wanted to find an excuse to slip away.
"My lord...my legs are weak and I've been hit by the cold wind. I want to relieve myself...could it be convenient?"
The little puppy was about to kneel down at that moment, which was completely different from the wolf sister who was unreasonable and inexplicably confident.
Wu Xiuwen quickly went to help, forcing the monster in human skin to stand up, and whispered: "Young lady is the daughter of the Mu family, how come you have to kneel down and bow before you meet your husband's family? How is that appropriate?
?”
"Don't say such weird words." Jiang Xueming said in a deep voice: "Xiu Wen, tell the truth, don't scare her. She is the only one who is lucky and is the last one. If she goes crazy again, this marriage will not be suitable."
When Wu Xiuwen heard the order, the wild child picked up by the eunuch had an exquisite heart with seven orifices. He naturally knew what Zhang Guiren was thinking, so he immediately changed his face and asked the elf sister in a loud voice.
"There are nine corpses in this room, but not a single woman. The Buddhist carving master and the doctor have done some immoral things, and they want to entertain the brothers with these monsters in human skins? Are you kidding Zhang Guiren? Do you know who Zhang Guiren is?
What is your identity? In the Nine Realms Imperial Court, you are a first-class official who treats the emperor!"
"I invited this immortal figure with good intentions and sent it to Heifeng Ridge to take care of Lady Zhuzhu, and give you some thin noodles for the Blood Jade Guanyin Bodhisattva! How could I have thought that you would dare to tease Zhang Guiren? Match your marriage? Bah!"
"Yes...yes, yes..." The spirit girl lowered her head and admitted her mistake. After being spat at by Wu Xiuwen, she became passive.
Wu Xiuwen wanted the evildoers to file a complaint first, but only one of the "beautiful daughters" sent to him died. Does he still need Zhang Guiren to plead guilty?
He then scolded: "Let me reveal your face! See how many faces you have!"
As soon as Wu Xiuwen raised his hand, the spirit didn't dare to resist and just wanted to beg for mercy.
"Don't! Don't! I was wrong! I was wrong! Xianjia, spare my life! Xianjia, spare my life!"
Jiang Xueming immediately asked: "Why do you do this? Tell the truth, otherwise you will be dead."
Wu Xiuwen then scolded: "Tell the truth! Otherwise, you will end up like that bitch brother of yours! All your flesh and blood will be eaten away by insects, leaving only your fur as your clothes!"
When the spirit girl heard the news of Brother Wolf's death, she felt resentment in her heart, but it quickly dissipated in fear. She didn't even dare to shed tears, and she couldn't express the slightest bit of hatred, so she could only tell the truth.
"The Buddha Sculpture Master called the Rat Master to summon us two brothers..."
"You want us to become beautiful daughters and serve Zhang Guiren. We need to blow our pillows and ask about Zhang Guiren's life experience and the purpose of our trip. The matter of Empress Zhuzhu's pregnancy cannot be neglected. If someone has evil intentions,
, to cause her to have a difficult childbirth. The Great Buddha of Lingguang blamed it, our little Black Wind Ridge can’t leave a single living thing..."
Saying this, the spirit took a few steps forward and leaned against the door. When he saw the body of the white wolf under the bronze mirror next to the screen, he squeezed out a few tears and turned into a girl who was aggrieved.
"I have pity on my two sisters. They are just dolls in the hands of the big man. They can be manipulated here and there, but they die accidentally!~ I have pity on my sister..."
"Alas! Alas! Alas!~"
Jiang Xueming did not immediately listen to these words, but looked at Wu Xiuwen and signaled.
Talking about Wu Xiuwen's temperament, his ability to observe people's emotions is already very good. It is different to have a godfather who came out of the palace. He can tell what Zhang Guiren wants to ask at just one glance.
Wu Xiuwen immediately asked: "Are you telling the truth?"
Just as Yan Quan was about to nod, he immediately felt a chill all over his body.
Wu Xiuwen scolded fiercely: "You're a slut (a derogatory term for a man pretending to be a woman in ancient times). The brothers have already interrogated your eldest brother before, and you're still here pretending to mourn! Who are you trying to deceive?
!?"
The spirit sister immediately changed her words: "I am a male! I am a male! What I said is true! What I said is true!"
Jiang Xueming was also curious, is it really impossible to find a woman in such a big village? Are these villagers and demons pretending to be beauties? Is it the same as Zhao Jianying said? These women with thin skin and tender flesh were all sent to the mountains to be steamed.
Cooked?
So he asked: "Look up, let me ask you, where have all the women in this village gone?"
After Wu Xiuwen's intimidation, Yan Quan no longer dared to make nonsense and told everything truthfully.
"In Black Wind Town, nothing is as important as giving birth. Women who are good at giving birth should be kept hidden and under the supervision of a rat-faced doctor."
The word "care" made Jiang Xueming furious——
——Because during the expedition, there was a similar ghost land and magic city. Blood-giving monsters are sterile. In an environment where people cannibalize people, if the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult becomes big and can cover the sky with one hand, it must find a way.
Sustainable human captivity.
The medical level in Chabon is still at the level of the secular world two or three hundred years ago. When it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, the chance of pregnant women dying suddenly due to dystocia is frighteningly high. The so-called "good childbirth" is a very scarce resource.
Take Huandan as a betrothal gift in exchange for excellent fertility resources.
Xueming had learned before that only after giving birth to children could the townspeople in this place be qualified to inherit the Huandan and obtain the magical power of blood conferring longevity. The only son of a single family could dig wells, collect water, and raise pigs in pens.
But all this is based on the premise of "unified care". As the agent of the Emmanuel Buddha, the Buddha Sculpture Master is like raising livestock. Not only can he decide the birth, old age, illness and death of every ordinary person in Black Wind Town, he can also decide how men behave.
Using strength, how does a woman match her husband, how does an old man sell his flesh and blood?
The children were threatened by the demons of Black Wind Ridge and educated by their parents, and they must continue to listen to the etiquette lessons of the Blood Jade Guanyin.
"Your Excellency..." Yan Quan saw that Jiang Xueming's expression was wrong and immediately asked: "Your Excellency, are you angry? Did I say something wrong? I will change it immediately... I will change it immediately..."
Jiang Xueming asked: "Can you please explain in detail, what does this care mean?"
"Marriage matters also need to be controlled by rat-faced doctors and priests. How can it be so simple?" The spirit explained: "For richer families, the people in the palace are prosperous, and they have more good relationships with Bodhisattvas. If they return the pills, they will give them away."
Incense, New Year's Eve, and money for festivals, the Rat Master will naturally take care of it and provide the young men in the family with good wives."
"If you are a poor family, are stingy at heart, don't have much wisdom, are unwilling to hand over the Huan Dan, have only one son at your knees, and cannot get much wealth by working hard, then you should be a bitch, and the dragon will give birth to the dragon and the phoenix will give birth to the phoenix."
"Although we are all fellow villagers, there are seniors and juniors in Heifengling. If no one takes care of the matter of marriage, then the mouse will marry into the Longfeng family, which will mess up the ethics."
"When it comes to getting married, if the rat-faced doctor doesn't nod and the clan priests don't admit it, how can it be the turn of a man who hates a man and a woman to make a private decision for life? So the people who are sent to you are all men - the innocent women who are already married cannot come, and the women who are waiting to be married are not allowed to come.
The yellow-flowered girls in the palace can’t even come.”
This is the "ghost" in the feudal era. It follows the growth rings of trees and runs forward. In modern society, it still lingers around people, invisible and intangible. It makes people feel frightened when talking about it.
"Your Excellency?" Yan Quan didn't dare to go on, because Jiang Xueming's expression became increasingly ugly, "Your Excellency...I told the truth, and you have to keep your word..."
Jiang Xueming: "I won't kill you, but I still want to trouble you to continue answering."
The ugly dog immediately showed its attentiveness, and its body movements began to twist its waist and hips in a flattering manner.
"Hey! You asked! You asked!"
Jiang Xueming pointed to the body on the bed inside the door.
"How did these men turn into beauties? And you? I remember that it takes at least two to three hundred years for a monster to transform into a human form."
The big wolf dog of green gold wants to gain human humanity. VIPs like Wolf Brother Oscar also drink countless panacea and white lady's essence, change their genes bit by bit, and slowly change from a military dog to a half-wolf, and finally...
It is simply miraculous that these two monsters, such as the white wolf and the ferocious dog, can turn into vivid humanoids that cannot be completely transformed into wolf heads and wolf tails.
"It's the Buddhist sculptor's magic weapon..." The dog regretted when he opened his mouth. It might not end well when it returns to Black Wind Ridge, but Wu Xiuwen showed off and intimidated him with a gloomy expression on the side, and its brain was slowing down.
Some.
Previously, Wu Xiuwen came to Black Wind Ridge with a lot of money to seek immortality, and he had seen these six treasures. But what Nian Quan didn't know was that Wu Xiuwen only knew the power of the treasure tree and didn't know the magical powers of the other five treasures.
Jiang Xueming: "Huh?"
"Yes...it's a magic weapon." The spirit immediately confessed, breaking the jar and smashing it. He just wanted to save his life: "There are six magic weapons! The whirling peeling tree can weave skin and make meat, change people's appearance, and give it to me, a beast.
Human skin.”
Jiang Xueming: “Where are the other five?”
"This...this...slave, I can't remember clearly..." The spirit scratched his head and untied his bun, turning into a crazy woman with disheveled hair: "I can't remember..."
It doesn't dare to say "I don't know". If Zhang Guiren can kill its elder brother, he can naturally kill it too - a useless thing is a waste with a short life span.
"Can't remember? Don't remember?" Wu Xiuwen's eyes widened and he asked fiercely, "Do you want me to peel off your human skin! Only then can a dog's brain become smart?"
"I remembered! I remembered!" The dog begged for mercy again and again. Seeing that the Zhao brothers did not express their opinions, it immediately gave some charming winks and threw itself in front of Jianying. It thought that maybe these people were not of the same mind, so Jiao Didi was miserable.
Ask for help.
"Don't skin me! Don't skin me!"

[Part2·Natural power]
At this time, the Zhao brothers, who had been watching for a long time, felt a little unbearable.
Zhao Jianxiong originally had a good impression of this "little girl". Zhao Jianying was the same as his younger brother. The two brothers relied on instinct to recognize people and do things. Naturally, they were not as bold and ruthless as Wu Xiuwen and Zhang Congfeng.
To put it bluntly, the human skin that this ferocious dog wears happens to grow on the XP of the two brothers. People can do a lot of stupid things and say a lot of stupid things for XP.
Even if the Holy Monk of the Tang Dynasty met half of Guanyin, no matter how much his disciples said good or bad things, the Holy Monk still had to rescue this beautiful demon from the tree and dig it out of the soil, let alone these two savage villagers?
Jianxiong had opened his mind and knew that these "women" were transformed into demons, but he still couldn't get over it. He told Zhang Congfeng some vague and nice things.
"My benefactor, we killed his brother, asked him to betray his master, and forced him into a pit of fire to be tortured. He also wanted to seek immortality and a human skin, and he never hurt us - why should he look so miserable?
force?"
"Do you want to be an Arhat?" Jiang Xueming turned around and asked calmly, "Always accompany the Blood Jade Guanyin Bodhisattva? Do you want this puppy to accompany you to read scriptures?"
Jianxiong didn't dare to respond. When he looked at his benefactor, he saw a sharp knife in his eyes. The blade was white and flawless. There were howling ghosts and wolves. For a while, he couldn't tell who was the monster and who was the ghost.
.Even if he couldn't feel the true spiritual power, just this glance made his two limbs tremble, and he didn't dare to say more.
"If you don't bring me a knife, I will shave your face and shave you." Jiang Xueming scolded people in a very unpleasant way: "You worthless turtle bastard, your ancestors have lived in vain for eighteen generations.
All of your lives ended up in a dog. Were you reborn in the wrong fetus? You should have been reborn in the animal realm? Otherwise, why would you have talked about feelings with this dog? If your father hears what you say now, he will have to pay even if he dies.
You are so angry!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I saved your life, but you want to speak for this dog? It also wants to get on my bed and cover my words, let it drink human blood and eat human flesh.
My master brings you some good news!"
"Why don't you just join the Buddhist carving master? He knows the Hunyuan Creation Technique! He will guarantee you to become an immortal and a Buddha! I don't have that ability!~" Jiang Xueming shrugged and spread his hands: "I haven't become an immortal yet, how can I teach you to become an immortal?
"
Jianxiong only felt ashamed. When he lost his mind, he was shocked to realize how confused he was. Just taking one more look at the pitiful appearance of this painted-skinned beauty, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
This is not to blame Jianxiong. In the eyes of the immortal Luo Ping'an, modern society is the same and has never changed - no matter what unscrupulous bad things the clay idol has done, as long as he has a good skin, there will be believers who will kneel down and worship him.
of.
Jianying, who was watching on the sidelines, learned his lesson and did not ask for the scolding. But this slow and steady elder brother wanted to talk to Zhang Congfeng about Xia Bang's morality.
"My dear friend, don't blame Jianxiong. I followed Wu Xiuwen all the way in. The weather in Heifeng Town is smooth, just like its former name of Hefeng Town. If it weren't for the protection of the Blood Jade Guanyin Bodhisattva, without the power to return the elixir,
Where can such good livestock and crops come from? Even the poorest families in villages and towns can afford cotton clothes and have well water in their backyards..."
"You don't know something. Jianxiong and I came from Taiguang County. There was a plague in the village. Every household was tortured by the disease. They were weak during the harvest in autumn. In winter, they suffered from hunger and disease. They couldn't afford the medical expenses and money.
To gain family wealth, one has to exchange children for food - compared with this, I hope there is a Guanyin Bodhisattva in Zhaojiazhuang. At least one of the Huanan Pills is in the body. Why should my whole family be afraid of illness? There is no need to take Jianxiong away from home. My parents
My parents were found dead in the wilderness, bitten by wolves and insects. My two brothers are going to fight for their lives with wild bears to fight for wealth."
Speaking of this matter, I didn’t wait for Jiang Xueming to answer.
Wu Xiuwen sneered: "How dare you conclude that the plague in Zhaojiazhuang, Taiguang County, is a natural disaster and not a demonic disaster?"
Zhao Jianying was stunned by the question, and he also thought about it——
——Last year during the Waking of Insects, all the snakes, insects, and beasts in the mountains and forests were awakened. A wild fox Chan came to the county town to give lectures, and had a bad quarrel with the county magistrate. Then during the Grain Rain season, the plague broke out, and the county magistrate went to seek immortality again.
It's too late for the medicine.
"Besides..." Wu Xiuwen stood next to Zhang Guiren, and his words were a bit arrogant: "Even if it is a natural disaster, does God have no fault at all?! Your whole family should die in a natural disaster of plague? Boss Zhao, you
Don’t you blame God? Don’t blame the plague? Now you have to blame Mr. Zhang for being cruel? Do you want to kill Mr. Zhang with the holy sword of morality? Do you blame him for being cruel and killing people indiscriminately?"
In fact, Jiang Xueming was in a cold sweat. If he had to go to Black Wind Ridge alone, the journey would be much more dangerous. At least the two porters, Jianying and Jianxiong, were able to save his luggage, leaving him free to concentrate on dealing with the monsters. This way
It is too difficult to find food and shelter to sleep in the wilderness - it is completely different from the previous journey to eliminate the Crazy Butterfly Holy Cult.
In the past, Xueming could go out alone and sleep in the open air. With communication support, he could return to the civilized world along the railway in three or four days to repair supplies, eat well, sleep well, and drink the panacea to become a good man again.
But what about now? When you go out to climb mountains and ask for directions to deal with monsters and monsters, you have no reliable intelligence support, no preliminary work, no local mass base, and no trustworthy partners. When you go to someone else's home venue to start a movie, you have to consider where your next meal will be.
.It is nothing to die in battle, but to be trapped in the mountains with no way out, to become weak from hunger, to run out of all the panacea, to be bitten to death by poisonous snakes and eaten by wild beasts, this is absurd.
The Zhao brothers were bewitched and began to discuss breaking up the team when they disagreed. Fortunately, Wu Xiuwen, a clever little guy, became the leader of the team. When he said this, he actually broke Jian Ying Jian Xiong's heart.
magic.
"Damn... what a powerful demon!" Zhao Jianying cursed secretly: "God damn it! I almost turned into an unkind and unjust defender! I received life-saving grace from my benefactor, but I want to be ridiculed by my enemy.
Curse secretly to wake up my wooden head!"
The spirit dog kneeling beside it saw that it had no choice, and the Zhao brothers did not speak for it, so it did not dare to take the initiative to speak - this monster is very powerful when it wins people's hearts, and it can't do anything weird without anyone to support it.
"Think carefully about what the other five magic weapons are capable of. I can't explain why, so I'll skin you!" Jianxiong stood on Wu Xiuwen's side, completely forgetting his previous hatred, but he still mentioned it.
A few strange words: "Let the good son of the eunuch wear the clothes. He has a crooked mouth and a crooked nose. Grandpa will be angry when he sees it! Why don't I skin you! Let this evil be fulfilled! Let me ask you! Do you remember it?"
Wu Xiuwen responded in a low voice: "You are just a movie star, what kind of quirks do you have! It's disgusting..."
Jiang Xueming looked on and felt dumbfounded. He never expected that these two little brothers could stand together.
Yan Quan first received the scolding and trembled, then raised his head to look at Jian Xiong.
"Remember! Remember! But I...I still have questions. If I can spare my life, the Buddha carving master must be held accountable and have an explanation..."
It pointed at the corpse inside the door and asked angrily.
"These guys, as well as my eldest brother, were all killed by Zhang Guiren?"
Jianxiong responded loudly: "It's your grandfather and me!"
Yan Quan didn't believe it: "Seriously?"
Jianxiong was not afraid that the Buddha carving master would come to trouble him, so he immediately said: "That's me!"
Jiang Xueming punched Jianxiong's arm: "He is born with supernatural powers."
