Someone asked the old man what he meant by retribution.
The old man said:
"More than a hundred years ago, our ancestors were hunters in this mountain. They made a living by hunting wolves and tigers, and catching snakes and insects. I heard people say that our ancestors were so brave that every time they killed a tiger, they would
The tiger skin must be peeled off and cut into square pieces. The head must also be cut off. Look at the way this boy died. It is obvious that the tigers killed by the ancestors have given birth to children and grandchildren and come to us for revenge.
"
After everyone heard this, they all said it was ridiculous.
Someone said: "It's been more than a hundred years. Those who want revenge have come to take revenge a long time ago. How could they wait until today?"
But Wu Ma thought that there was really no certainty about this. If he and Yuwen Jianxue hadn't come, maybe the tiger wouldn't have come at the end of the world. But since the two of them were here, the divine decree would have to be conjured out of thin air.
An evil tiger is coming.
Liu Mang then brought Yuwen Jianxue to the clan leader and revealed his suspicion that she was a rogue.
The patriarch brought an old woman to Yuwen Jianxue and asked him a few questions, including who his last name was and how he could come to the barren mountains alone if he was from a certain place.
Yuwen Jianxue had already thought of an excuse along the way, and said that he was from a merchant family outside the mountain. Because he followed his family to do business in other places, when passing through this place, he met a gangster on the road, and he and his family ran away, so he was alone.
The patriarch brought a mirror from somewhere and looked at Yuwen Jianxue. The beauty's face was clearly and beautifully revealed in it.
After looking at it, the patriarch said: "This girl is a living person, not a ghost. You have wronged me."
All the women in the village liked Yuwen Jianxue very much when they saw that her appearance was like that of a fairy in the sky, and her voice was very nice and clear.
A woman then scolded Liu Mang: "My son, you dare to call others a fool. I think you are the one who is not smart. How can this girl, who is like a fairy, be a charlatan?"
Liu Mang had no choice but to say nothing and hide behind the mirror.
In the evening, everyone helped the deceased's family hold a funeral ceremony all night long. Mourning clothes, night tents, coffins, candles, paper money, and tributes were all prepared.
This villa is not big. There are more than a hundred families, all with the surname Liu. In the early years, counting up, they were all one family, and they did their best to help. Even the night watch was arranged according to a timetable.
One person from each family took turns helping the woman through the long night.
Looking at this scene, Yuwen Jianxue felt that there was quite a bit of humanity in this village.
Liu Yousheng's mother helped with the dancing horse for half the night, and she had to rest until Haishi came out.
When it's time to go back to each other's homes, Yuwen Jianxue must find a place to live.
Several families with bachelor women started to quarrel and wanted Yu Wen Jianxue to live in their homes.
In the end, no one was willing to give in, so Yuwen Jianxue had to make the decision himself.
Yuwen Jianxue pointed to the dancing horse,
"It's just their home."
Liu Yousheng's mother never expected that she would take a fancy to her own home. She was overjoyed and flattered at the same time. She held Yuwen Jianxue's hand and refused to let go, greeting her with greetings.
When the other women saw this situation, some couldn't help but sigh. One woman came up and whispered something to Yuwen Jianxue, asking Yuwen Jianxue to think about it, "His son is a fool."
I don't know yet whether he is stupid or not. Yuwen Jianxue thought to himself.
…
Yuwen Jianxue then moved into Liu Yousheng's house.
Needless to say, his mother ate delicious food and entertained her warmly.
While Yuwen Jianxue was eating, Liu Yousheng's mother secretly pulled the dancing horse aside and said:
"Good son, your opportunity has come."
When Wu Ma heard what she said, she immediately understood the implication - Liu Yousheng's mother wanted to find a wife for him.
It turns out that when it comes to asking for a wife, there is a story in it. When Liu Yousheng's father died, his biggest regret was that he did not marry Liu Yousheng a wife or have a grandson.
After his father died, her mother was heartbroken and went bankrupt. She prepared generous betrothal gifts and gave Liu Yousheng daughters from three families. But when people heard that Liu Yousheng was a fool, they returned all the betrothal gifts.
Up to now, Liu Yousheng is still a bachelor. Liu Yousheng's mother is very worried about this matter and can't sleep every day.
"Son," Liu Yousheng's mother said, "since Miss A Xue lives in our house, she is probably interested in you. Don't say stupid things, don't do stupid things, don't let the truth slip in the past two days. You
To obey mother's instructions, we must marry A-Xue back to our home."
Dancing Horse couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to say: "Mom, I don't want to take a wife, I will live with you."
"Nonsense, your mother and I have been pointing out this all my life. If you dare to say that you don't want a wife again, I will break your legs."
"My parents are like fairies, so they can look up to me."
After hearing these words, Liu Yousheng's mother was surprised and said: "Son, you are not stupid this time... Bah... don't say such depressing words. Those girls don't like you because they don't know how good my son is.
Mother knows you best. Whoever marries you, you will keep and treat her well for the rest of your life. This is the real blessing."
With that said, he asked Wu Ma to tidy up the largest bedroom in the house, and prepare a clean bed, hot water, and snacks.
Naturally, he performed the whole dance horse show, and he was obedient and tidied up.
While they were packing up, Mrs. Liu Yousheng pulled Yu Wen Jianxue over and said with a smile: "Look, girl, he has already prepared it for you without me saying anything."
Yuwen Jianxue looked at the always aloof Dancing Horse, making his own bed and folding quilts, serving tea and water. He didn't know that Liu Yousheng's mother had assigned him, but seeing his appearance was really interesting, and he burst into laughter.
Liu Yousheng's mother-in-law didn't know about the fishy relationship between the two. She thought that this girl had really fallen in love with her silly son, and she felt happy in her heart.
After Yuwen Jianxue was settled, Mrs. Liu Yousheng brought out the dancing horse.
"Son, stupid people have stupid blessings. I think you are really in trouble this time. Only then did my mother know why the previous marriage arrangements for you failed to happen -
It turns out that you have a great destiny waiting for you. It’s nothing for those girls to look down on you. All of them put together can’t compare to Miss A Xue’s toes!”
…
In the middle of the night, Wu Ma listened to Liu Yousheng's mother-in-law falling asleep, and sneaked into Yuwen Jianxue's room.
Yuwen Jianxue deliberately left the door open, and when she saw him sneaking in with cat steps, she felt very funny and thought to herself: So you also have such a wretched look sometimes.
Looking at his ugly appearance now, he is actually much more kind than when he was handsome.
The two of them each recounted their own experiences. Sure enough, they saw the same image of the divine decree, and they both lost all their abilities. They discussed the method of passing the divine decree, and finally fell on Sha Hu, so they decided to do it tomorrow.
Continue to follow the tiger hunting team up the mountain and make a decision based on the situation.
After saying this, Wu Ma was about to leave the room, but Yuwen Jianxue suddenly stopped him.
"Dancer-kun."
"Um?"
"Why did you enter this divine decree, but my master failed to enter?"
Logically speaking, this illusion is Yuwen Jianxue's personal divine decree, and no one else should come in. But thinking back to the last illusion in the Skeleton Academy, didn't Qingxia and the leading soldier also break into his personal illusion?
Wu Ma guessed that this was probably related to the illustrated book. He said:
"I can't tell clearly either."
"Then before you came in...did you see anything strange, such as-"
"No."
"Okay, thank you, help me again..."
"Be careful, don't get eaten by a tiger - it's not easy for me to go through God's decree alone."
…
The dancing horse left the room, and Yuwen Jianxue came to the door to see her off.
The two of them turned their heads and saw Liu Yousheng's mother-in-law, who had gotten up to relieve herself at night and came back from outside, looking here with wide eyes.
He whirled around, turned his head, stretched out his hands, groped forward, and muttered:
"This room is really dark."
With that said, he staggered back to his house.
"..."
Behind the dancing horse, there was the sound of Yuwen Jianxue closing the door.
The dancing horse was also speechless. He didn't expect such a show. He carefully went to his room. Halfway there, Liu Yousheng's mother pushed him away.
"Miss Axue has returned to the house?"
"Um."
"My Han Sheng'er,"
"Um?"
"You finally figured it out."
Liu Yousheng's mother was full of tears as she spoke.
…
The next month, Wu Ma and Yu Wen Jianxue followed the tiger hunting team up the mountain to look for traces of the evil tiger. There were no girls in the team, and no one wanted her to suffer, but Yu Wen Jianxue said that he had some knowledge of martial arts.
He also wanted to clear himself of suspicion, and if he persisted, no one would object.
During the hunt for the tiger on the mountain, everyone was careful enough and set up several traps. In the end, the tiger never fell into it. However, four young men who caught the tiger were accidentally eaten by the tiger. The tragic situation was the same as that on the first day.
He looked like a human, with only his bloody head left, and all the skin on his body had been peeled off and cut into squares.
Seeing people dying constantly, Zhuangzi cried and mourned every day. Under the persuasion of the old man in the village, the tiger hunting team also stopped going up the mountain, hoping that it would be quiet for a few months and that the evil tiger could not eat people and left on its own.
.
Wu Ma thought, that is impossible. Because the evil tiger is gone, the illusion of divine decree is meaningless. He did not raise any objections. There is no progress in one thing for the time being, and it has been hit hard again and again. It is probably the method.
If something goes wrong, you might as well stop and plan again.
This evil tiger hurt people one after another under his nose, but he didn't even see a shadow. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary tiger. Besides, ordinary tigers can't peel off human skin and cut it into cubes.
For more than a month, Wu Ma followed people up the mountain every day during the day, and was not idle when he came back at night. He practiced secretly with a big stone in his backyard - he didn't bring his original skills with him, but he might as well know how to do it.
The method can be practiced from scratch. However, if he wants to fully master his skills, he still needs some special materials from the zombie apocalypse and needs to endure great pain. The conditions here are far from enough.
Dancing Horse's idea is that this illusion looks far more dangerous than he imagined. And the further back he looks, the more unpredictable factors become. One more day of practice will give him one more chance to protect himself.
It's just that in this illusion, he regained the feeling of sleeping. At the end of every night, people feel sleepy and it's time to rest.
Yuwen Jianxue saw him practicing and came to watch every day, but what he did was strength training, which a girl couldn't learn. If she had to learn it forcefully, she might be a Sui and Tang version of King Kong Barbie.
This scene fell in the eyes of Liu Yousheng's mother. She was not curious about what kind of kung fu her silly son was practicing alone in the backyard. Instead, it confirmed Miss A Xue's conclusion that she had a good impression of her son. It made her feel good every day and wished she could
Do something good for both of you right away.
There are many bachelors in Zhuangzi, and many families have taken a fancy to Yu Wen Jianxue. A woman from another family also visits Liu Yousheng's house every day. Zui Wen doesn't care about drinking, and naturally her intention is to introduce Yu Wen Jianxue to her son.
In the past few days, no one went up the mountain, and the tiger seemed to have disappeared. The women had free time to take care of other things.
Liu Yousheng's mother was so anxious about this that she dragged Yuwen Jianxue around every three days and talked about her son's benefits, overtly and covertly, but Yuwen Jianxue refused to say anything.
Liu Yousheng's mother-in-law did the ideological work on the horse dance in turn, thinking about the boss being too young, Aye's last wish, and being unfilial and having no descendants was the most serious.
However, after giving it to the old man, Wu Ma suddenly figured it out.
Looking at it now, Shen Yi's strategy has temporarily reached a bottleneck. He has no confidence in defeating the evil tiger on his own, and he will not improve greatly in a short period of time if he continues to practice his kung fu.
A Niang urged him to marry Yuwen Jianxue, which was probably a hint from God——
Two people must get married before they can get the next clue of God's will. Just like movies and TV series, they must go one plot at a time, one plot after another. No plot can be skipped.
With this thought, Wu Ma decided to discuss with Yuwen Jianxue to see if he should consider pretending...
