The young man who came in was named Wu Chun, and he was the grandson of Wu Zhu, the predecessor of Wu Village. However, after the death of the old Wu Zhu, his family's status was not as good as before. At most, it was better than ordinary villagers in Wu Village when it came to profit sharing.
However, he and Wu Shuang'er grew up together. They were not childhood sweethearts. They were also growing up, and their relationship has always been very good. When Wu Shuang'er was in Wu Village, Wu Chun would be the first to stand up if anything happened.
, and today is no exception.
Lingpo looked at him: "Wuchun, what did you say? When was it your turn to speak in this witch altar?"
The Ling Pos of all generations have an absolute status in Wu Village, even higher than Wu Zhu. Although Wu Zhu has the status of the village chief, according to the inheritance of Wu Village, the Ling Po is truly supreme.
After all, Wu Chun was the grandson of Old Wu Zhu, and as he was young and energetic, he did not show any fear. He puffed up his chest and said: "Ling Po, none of the women we sent to the Jade Snake Sect in the past few years have come back. I...
…I don’t want Shuang’er to go!”
Hearing this, Lin Zichen was stunned. It seemed that Wu Cun not only sent Shuang'er to the Jade Snake Gate, but also... none of them came back. This doesn't make sense. Even if you get married, you still have to go back to your parents' home. Could it be...
Hearing this, Lingpo was furious and suddenly picked up the crutch and stamped it on the ground: "Humph, I've betrayed you. Someone, take Wu Chun out for me!"
After Ling Po finished speaking, several men stepped forward and captured Wu Chun. These men were all in their twenties and thirties, and Wu Chun was only sixteen or seventeen. His strength was incomparable, so he didn't even have a chance to resist.
But even though he was holding his arms and pressing his head, he still shouted: "No, you can't take Shuang'er away, Ling Po, I won't let you do this, you will hurt Shuang'er!"
Seeing this scene, Shuang'er burst into tears and shook her head vigorously: "Wuchun, please stop talking and leave quickly. Don't rush into Lingpo because of me."
"No, Shuang'er, you can't go. The Jade Snake Sect eats people without spitting out their bones. I heard that all the women who go there are eaten by them. You must not go!"
Ling Po's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she even said with a somewhat nervous expression: "What are you still doing? Pull Wu Chun out and enforce the village rules!"
"Yes, Lingpo!"
Although Wu Chun struggled and screamed, he was still dragged out. His voice became smaller and smaller, while Wu Shuang'er knelt on the ground and burst into tears. Growing up, Wu Chun was her best friend. Seeing him because of her
About to be punished, Wu Shuang'er felt filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Ling Po, I beg you, don't punish Wu Chun. This has nothing to do with him, it's all my fault..." Wu Shuang'er cried loudly.
"Huh, of course it's your fault. You were raised by me since you were a child, and now you disobey my orders. I regret raising you like this!"
Lin Zichen smiled and said: "Haha, if you raise people in order to get rewards, it is better not to raise them. How can there be such purposeful raising in the world?"
"Huh?" Lingpo looked at Lin Zichen. She had noticed the two strangers just now, but she didn't have time to ask, "Who are you? Shuang'er, did you bring them here?"
Wu Shuang'er looked at Lin Zichen with a complicated expression, and finally lowered her head without speaking.
"Shuang'er, you called these two outsiders here...aren't you going to deal with me?" Ling Po asked, staring at Wu Shuang'er's face.
Wu Shuang'er didn't dare to look at Ling Po. To be honest, she didn't know what happened in her heart. She didn't even know what happened in the past two days. She was caught, escaped, and was captured by Lin Zichen inexplicably.
She said she was about to die and brought her back to Wucun. She had completely lost her autonomy.
Ling Po snorted coldly and said: "Humph, okay Wu Shuang'er, are you planning to invite outsiders to deal with me? Okay, okay, really good. This is the Shuang'er I raised, but I will let you know how to fight against me."
The consequences of the Witch Village Spirit Woman!"
Lost heart Gu!
I saw Lingpo taking out something from a bag on her waist and throwing it towards Lin Zichen and Huo Qing. Although she moved very quickly, Lin Zichen still noticed that what she threw was a stiff insect body!
Gu? Huh, I have long heard that some foreign masters practice voodoo. Today I, Lin Zichen, have seen it. Lin Zichen has no intention of resisting. After all, the purpose of his coming is not to cause trouble in Wu Village, but to save Wu Shuang'er.
Now it seems that Wu Shuang'er must have been affected by some kind of poison from Ling Po. It is obviously impossible for Ling Po to cure Shuang'er, so Lin Zichen can only stay in Wu Village first and then slowly find the cure.
The method of poison.
Although Lin Zichen thought so, Huo Qing next to him had no intention of surrendering. Seeing Ling Po's sudden movement, he turned to one side to avoid the attack of Gu, but at this moment, Lin Zichen was behind him.
There was a slight tap somewhere, and he felt weak all over. He turned his head and glanced at Lin Zichen, his eyes full of incomprehension...
Lin Zichen smiled but said nothing, and the next second, both of them were hit by the heart-losing Gu. Seeing Huo Qing's eyes become blurred for a moment, Lin Zichen also imitated.
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Lingpo sneered: "Hmph, take them into the cage, and I will deal with them after Shuang'er goes to the Jade Snake Gate!"
"Yes, Lingpo!"
"Ling Po doesn't want it, no, they are just my friends, can I promise you? Don't hurt them anymore..." Wu Shuang'er cried even harder. After all, compared to Wu Chun, Lin Zichen and Huo Qing were more
Innocent, they just wanted to help her, but she obviously underestimated the power of the spirit woman...
The two were escorted out of the altar. Huo Qing struggled to open his mouth and said, "Master, you... what are you doing..."
Lin Zichen whispered: "Don't talk, I'm here."
Hearing Lin Zichen's words, Huo Qing was immediately relieved. What kind of strength the master is, this Gu must not have any effect on him, but for this girl, the master seems to have got me involved again...
Along the way, Huo Qing was in a daze, as if he saw some pictures before his eyes, but they were very blurry and would not leave any memories. This is the effect of the heart-losing poison. People who are poisoned will lose their strength within a period of time.
and consciousness, so that even memory is intermittent and unclear.
But Lin Zichen remembered this route clearly, and even watched the other party take him and Huo Qing into a huge bamboo cage.
It wasn't until night that Huo Qing gradually woke up from his stupor. When he saw the hard bamboo joints around him, he remembered what happened before.
"Master, are we... locked up?"
Lin Zichen smiled and nodded: "These bamboos are soaked and are no worse than steel. This little witch village actually designed this kind of cell. Haha, it's really interesting."
Huo Qing rubbed his temples vigorously and said, "Master, what did that old woman do to us? Her head is still dizzy now."
"It's Gu!"
"Gu?" Huo Qing also knew some legends and stories about Gu, but he didn't expect to experience it personally this time.
"It seems that the Witch Village is much more troublesome than we thought. Not only does this spirit woman have the highest status in the Witch Village, but she can also use poison. Plus the Jade Snake Gate, there must be something interesting in it!"
"Master, what should we do now? Are we locked up like this?" Huo Qing said while rubbing his head.
"It's much quieter now. I'll go out to check on the situation later. You can just rest here."
"Ah? I want to rest? No, Master, that Lingma's methods are not simple, I have to follow you!" Huo Qing said.
Lin Zichen glanced at him: "How is your practice in the Juan Feng Jue? I will check it after three days. If you are not satisfied, you will be expelled from the school!"
"This...Master, I'm afraid you are in danger."
"Haha, Lingpo's Gu is not easy, but what can you do to me?" As he said this, Lin Zichen stood up, but when he touched the green bamboo in the cage, he saw that the bamboo slowly became bent.
, finally leaving enough space for one person to pass.
Lin Zichen stepped out, turned around and restored the bamboo cage, saying: "You can practice well here, I'll go find Shuang'er."
After that, Lin Zichen walked towards the depths of Wu Village. Because the bamboo cages were intricately intertwined, it was difficult to see clearly from the outside at night. Lin Zichen's departure would not attract anyone's attention.
Following the route in his memory, he found the altar. Lin Zichen looked at the wooden attic on the third floor. The second floor was already dark. The hall on the first floor and a room on the third floor were still lit. He concluded that Shuang'er was probably there.
In this room on the third floor.
"Shuang'er's return this time is like a sheep in a tiger's mouth. Ling Po finally caught her and imprisoned her closely, but unfortunately...I, Lin Zichen, am still here!"
There were two guards standing in front of the spiritual altar. These guards took turns guarding the spiritual altar day and night. Lin Zichen rushed over quickly, almost like a gust of wind. Before the two guards made any reaction, the figure had already passed through them.
around.
"Hey, did you see that? Did you just..."
"Well, there seems to be something, but... it's the wind, right? Or a wild cat or something..."
"Yeah, it's probably a wild cat. I thought I was hallucinating."
The two guards said a few words and then continued to stand guard disapprovingly.
The moment Lin Zichen got close to the attic, he heard the conversation inside. Since the attic was made of wood, the inside could be seen through the hollow carved gaps in the doors and windows.
At this time, there were still a few people in the hall on the first floor. Sitting on the two main seats were the Lingpo and a man in his sixties. The man had gray hair and a short beard. He was wearing a black old-fashioned Chinese tunic suit, and his movements were transparent.
With a kind of majesty.
The Lingpo said: "Snake King, don't worry, Wu Shuang'er is on the top floor of my spiritual altar. I won't let her escape this time."
The man named Snake King snorted coldly and said: "Huh, that's good. I don't want any betrayal this time. My dragon body is only missing the last girl with extremely yin physique. The full moon tomorrow night will be the one."
If you have the opportunity, you must send Wu Shuang'er up the mountain!"
"Yes, yes, snake king, don't worry, there will be no mistakes this time. In the future, the snake king will refine the dragon body and kill the Xuanyin dragon, which will also be a blessing to our witch village."
Lingpo nodded and bowed as she spoke, with a flattering look, which was very different from that during the day. Her majesty had long been overshadowed by this snake king.
Hearing this, Lin Zichen nodded: "Humph, it turns out Shuang'er went up the mountain to make materials for the Snake King's cultivation. Lingpo raised Shuang'er and cast a spell on her to bathe, probably in order to make her have this extremely yin constitution.
, Damn it, the most dangerous thing in this world is the human heart!"
