our supernatural life

Mai Mai tried her best to look sideways, the sun was shining brightly, shining on Shao Jing's face through the sparse branches and leaves of the trees, looking handsome and eye-catching.Mai Mai felt that the sockets of his eyes were warm, and he wanted to blink, but he couldn't bear to look at him less.

Shao Jing opened his hand, turned the pistol on his fingertips, and lowered it to indicate that he was not hostile. He flipped his left hand and revealed a mahogany sign: "Zhang Jingcun, the eldest son of the 63rd generation of the Zhang family in Longhushan, Jiangxi, press Come here to pay respects to Mr. Bai, the leader of the Gu village."

There was a slight commotion among the people around, and some people started talking in low voices.Apparently, even people who don't leave the mountains all the year round are quite aware of the Zhang family's reputation in Longhu Mountain.Second Uncle Wu knocked the chimney in his hand on the stone beside him twice, the loud voice made everyone quiet, and then he said coldly, "What kind of etiquette is this to come to the door with a gun?"

Shao Jing held his right hand high, with the pistol still hanging on his fingertips: "In a hurry, I had no choice but to offend. However, the Zhang family sent a person to see Mr. Bai, but he was tied to a firewood pile. I don't know that this is another Gu village. What etiquette?"

Second Uncle Wu said solemnly: "Bringing the kid into the village is a violation of the taboo of the Gu village, and it should be burnt to death."

Shao Jing looked around: "Where is the notice?"

Second Uncle Wu was slightly taken aback: "What notice?"

"Of course it's a notice not to bring little ghosts into the village."

Of course there is no such notice.Minorities in Southwest China have long hated Han people who raise ghosts. It is an unwritten rule that Han people who bring little ghosts are not allowed to enter the village, but there has never been any notice.When Shao Jing asked such a question, none of them, including Uncle Wu, could answer.After a while, Second Uncle Wu said coldly: "Even if he doesn't know this rule, then what's the matter with killing a Gu Master?"

Mai Mai said loudly: "We didn't kill Qi Song at all, don't label us indiscriminately!"

The man standing in front of the fire raised the half of the torch in his hand and wanted to give him a shot: "You don't want to insert—"

boom!The half of the torch was broken into two again, and the bullets passed close to the man's hand. No one could see when Shao Jing's gun was in his hand again.With a gloomy face, he raised the muzzle of the gun slightly: "I will not be polite to anyone who touches him again."

Uncle Wu's face was more gloomy than his, and he knocked the chimney on the stone again: "Young Master Zhang, what do you think of the Gu Village? Dragon and Tiger Mountain?"

Shao Jing asked back: "The Zhang family came to ask for favors according to the rules, but you tied him up and burned him to death. I came to worship the mountain according to the rules, and I have already proved his identity. If you want to do something to him, what do you think of the Zhang family?" gone?"

Second Uncle Wu sneered: "This is a Gu village, not your Han people's territory."

Shao Jing raised his eyebrows: "How about the Han people? How about the Miao people? What about the Jingpo people? It's been so old, and you still want to use this method to provoke conflicts? Or do you think Gu masters can only stay in the mountains all their lives? Here, never go to your so-called Han Chinese territory?"

Second Uncle Wu's eyebrows twitched when he refuted it.But the times are indeed different, even the Gu Village in the deep mountains cannot but be assimilated by modern life.Even the earth is already a global village, how can you still say that you will never go out in the mountains?Even if you don't go out, won't your children and grandchildren go out?Even now, some young Gu masters in the Gu village do not stay in the village all the time, they often go to the ancient city, not to mention that some Gu masters whose children have not entered the profession, even live in the outside world inside.If you talk about ethnic distinctions outside, you will only be laughed out of your teeth.

Shao Jing looked around and saw that no one was going to refute him, so he said, "Then, can you let him go first?"

Second Uncle Wu raised his hand: "Wait! Although he was sent by the Zhang family, the person suspected of killing the Gu village cannot let him go now, he must be interrogated!"

Shao Jing frowned slightly: "Okay, are you going to interrogate him? Then let's interrogate, and I will also listen to how he killed people."

Uncle Wu was at a loss for words for a while, but then pointed to Qi Song's body on the ground: "This is the evidence."

Shao Jing sneered: "Evidence? This corpse can only prove that someone died, but how can it prove who killed it?"

Second Uncle Wu said coldly: "He is the only outsider in this village, he didn't kill it, who killed it?"

Shao Jing took two steps forward slowly, looked down at the skinny skeleton body on the ground: "How did he die?"

A man rushed to say: "He was beaten to death by his own Gu backlash."

Shao Jing glanced at him indifferently: "Backlash? Gu masters are backlashed by their own Gu after death. This kind of situation seems to be very rare. If everyone is like this, how many Gu masters can die and leave their bodies? I I don't know much about Gu art, I don't know under what circumstances a Gu master will be backlashed by his own Gu?"

Under what circumstances a Gu master will be backlashed by his own Gu, this question is very complicated.Generally speaking, the most likely to be backlashed is when the Gu master doesn't take good care of the Gu.This is like raising a dog, if you have to keep it hungry, maybe it will bite you when it gets hungry.In addition, for high-level Gu worms with special requirements like Golden Silkworm Gu, it is necessary to feed them. If no one eats them, no matter how well you raise them, it will eat you.The second is that the Gu master forces the Gu to do some things beyond its power, such as forcing the Gu to face a danger that cannot be dealt with, and the Gu insect may turn back and attack the master in fear, in order to get rid of the control.It is also possible that the Gu was controlled by a more capable Gu master, causing it to bite its original master instead.However, wheat does not meet these three conditions.

Mai Mai didn't know what happened to Gu's backlash against his master, and he knew very well that Shao Jing didn't know at all, he was just bluffing.However, his bluff was getting the benefit of it, and no one could answer for a while.Shao Jing looked around: "What? No one can answer me?"

There was a murmur in the crowd.Most of the people here don't know Mai Mai at all, and some of them have never met Mai Mai before entering the stockade, let alone grievances. The main reason is because of Uncle Wu's prestige and the God Master who seems to raise ghosts in Mai Mai's backpack. , As for the burning, since it was announced by Uncle Wu, even if they don't know the inside story, most people don't feel the need to object.After all, under the old man, Uncle Wu is the second person in the Gu village. For decades, many people have gotten used to the old man listening to the old man, and listening to him when the old man is not around.But when Shao Jing made such a fuss, they couldn't help discussing whether Xiao Mai had killed Qi Song.Especially some young Gu masters are not as old-fashioned as old people, it is illegal to use lynching to kill people, they know this better than those old Gu masters.After all, no matter how unrestrained you are, you must abide by the law. Although this is an autonomous prefecture, it does not mean that you can kill people casually.

Uncle Wu was not in a hurry, and pointed to Wu Shengliang and Qi Ren with a chimney: "This Han may not be able to, but adding the two of them will do. Shengliang is my nephew, and I know he has the ability."

Wheat gasped.This old man is cruel enough, he won't even let his nephew go.The expression on Wu Shengliang's face was also distorted, and it took him a long time to say: "Second uncle, you, you are really insane! I know you want to be the leader of the Gu village and the king of Gu, but I really didn't expect that I am your nephew, There are only two of us left in the Wu family, and you actually..."

This time the whispers in the crowd were louder.The leader of the Gu village, the Gu king, these few words stimulated the nerves of the Gu masters.A man who was following Uncle Wu immediately sneered and said, "No wonder Uncle Wu wants to kill his relatives righteously. You, a nephew, can even frame your own uncle! Tell me, what are you doing in collusion with this Han man? If you If you didn’t kill someone, why did you run away?”

Wu Shengliang glared at him angrily: "I'm going to chase the old man back and prevent him from entering the Gu Dao!"

The man smiled contemptuously: "It's back and forth again. If you want to inform the old man, why don't you use flying Gu to send the message?"

"Flying Gu was taken away by my second uncle! He also locked me up and prevented me from sending messages!"

The man stretched out his hand: "Where is the evidence?"

Wu Shengliang was furious, but could not speak.Shao Jing suddenly said: "Wait a minute. You keep saying that you are colluding. I have already said that this person was sent by Longhushan. What collusion do you mean that our Zhang family is going to collude with people in your village to snatch the Gu king?" ?”

Chinese language is blocked.If it were someone else, he would directly say that he had ulterior motives, but this is the Zhang family. Although the celestial masters and Gu masters are not of the same way, the Zhang family does not have the exclusive status in the celestial masters here, but in the end, he still dare not Conflict with the Zhang family head-on.Shao Jing saw that he couldn't answer, so he nailed another sentence: "Or you just habitually have a prejudice against Han people, thinking that Han people make trouble in everything?"

The hat was buttoned even bigger, and the man was speechless.Shao Jing didn't want him to be too embarrassing, his purpose was to rescue Mai Mai first, as for the internal conflicts in the Gu village, he couldn't control it now, so he slowed down his tone a little: "If neither of these two, then the matter Being among your own people in your Gu village, it has nothing to do with outsiders, right? Then, can you let my people go first?"

The man went to see Second Uncle Wu in embarrassment. Second Uncle Wu pondered for a while, then said lightly: "Since it is Zhang Shao interceding, let him go. But he can't stay in the village, we have to deal with housework."

Shao Jing didn't speak, and went to untie the rope from Mai Mai's body first, and got it off the firewood pile.Whilst rubbing his numb wrists, Mai Mai said in a low voice, "I can't leave, I can't leave Wu Shengliang and Qi Ren alone, without them, I would have fed snakes a long time ago."

Shao Jing frowned, and said in a low voice: "This is a Gu village, their territory, it's very troublesome for us to manage too much..."

"But Second Uncle Wu is a bad guy. He wants the old man to die in a Gu Dao. And he wanted Qi Song to bite me to death with a snake..."

Shao Jing raised his eyebrows suddenly: "Snake? Have you been bitten?"

"No, thanks to Wu Shengliang who knocked Qi Song unconscious, but he said that Qi Song would wake up in four hours, which means he didn't kill Qi Song at all."

Shao Jing frowned: "But we don't have any evidence... If you want to manage the Gu village here, you must have iron evidence to prove that the surname Wu wants to seize the Gu king and kill the leader of the Gu village. If there is evidence, the Gu village The people in the village will solve it by themselves.”

"Evidence..." Mai Mai thought hard, "Unless he finds Wu Shengliang's flying Gu that he detained? But where is that Gu, who knows?"

"I know..." A thin voice suddenly sounded, Mai Mai looked down, Baobao Zhao came out at some time, hugged Mai Mai's leg tightly, looked up at him, "I know that little flying bug Where. The bad old man hid it in an altar."

"Baby?" Mai Mai was overjoyed, "Do you know which jar it is?"

As soon as Zhao Baobao appeared, it caused a commotion among the Gu masters. Gu, in the final analysis, is also a kind of femininity, so Gu masters may not have yin and yang eyes, but they all have a special ability to sense femininity.Basically, those who are more advanced can "see" a little ghost coming out of Mai Mai, and some of them are more powerful, and they can "see" Zhao Baobao clearly like a celestial master with yin and yang eyes.Immediately, all the Gu Masters' eyes focused on Zhao Baobao, and Zhao Baobao shrank back behind Mai Mai again, pointed at Second Uncle Wu and said, "The bad old man hid that behind his house, in a flower bed. "

This time, the eyes of the Gu Masters all fell on Second Uncle Wu again.Uncle Wu's eye muscles twitched, and he said coldly, "What did you say, brat?"

Zhao Baobao hugged Maimai's legs a little tighter, and said loudly: "I saw you locked a flying bug in a flower bed, and then put it behind the house where you live."

Second Uncle Wu slammed his long chimney on the ground: "Presumptuous!"

At the same time, Wu Shengliang yelled: "Be careful!" Shao Jing flipped his hands over suddenly, and with a click, it was like a thunder exploding on the ground. It looks like black charcoal, a long strip of things that can't be seen clearly.Shao Jing didn't even look at the things in the pit, and stared at Second Uncle Wu, with a cold smile on his lips: "What is Mr. Wu doing? Murder to silence?"

All of a sudden, the crowd was in an uproar. Second Uncle Wu's action undoubtedly admitted that he withheld Wu Shengliang's flying Gu. Looking at this point alone, it is enough to make people doubt the credibility of all the words he said earlier. up.At that moment, a young man asked loudly in the crowd: "Second Uncle Wu, did you hold Shengliang's flying Gu?"

Uncle Wu said something with a sullen face, Mai Mai and Shao Jing didn't understand, including some young Gu masters in the village, but before he finished speaking, the young Gu master who spoke just now suddenly leaned back When he fell down, the companion next to him reached out to help him, but his own legs gave way, and the two of them rolled to the ground together.Not only these two people, in just a few seconds, more than a dozen young Gu masters fell to the ground and lost consciousness.The rest of the crowd was chaotic for a while, and when it was a little quieter, they were clearly divided into two factions.About one-third of the people stood on Uncle Wu's side. Although there were more people left, there was not much difference in number because more than a dozen young people had already fallen.

Mai Mai smelled a faint fishy smell suddenly in the air, and after the meal of Shuihuamei, he already understood a lot: "This, this is Gu?"

Shao Jing protected him behind him, and said in a low voice: "This is a civil strife in the Gu village! There are Gu masters on both sides, and the Gu masters will be brought out at this time." After he escaped from the Zhang family over the wall, he chased after him all the way to the ancient city of Lijiang. , found the ancient city inn, learned about the old man's entry into the Gu Dao, and guessed the civil strife in the Gu village.He is much more sensitive than others in matters such as fighting for power and profit. He immediately realized the danger and embarrassment of Mai Mai's situation, and immediately caught up with the mountain.Fortunately, he came quickly, otherwise the wheat would have been burned to ashes.

"Is this Second Uncle Wu who wants to be the King of Gu and be the leader?"

Shao Jing looked Ershu Wu sharply up and down: "Even if he becomes the leader, he probably won't live for a few years, right?"

Hearing his words, Second Uncle Wu smiled coldly: "Boy, what do you know!" Although his manpower only accounted for one-third of the Gu masters and pharmacists in the whole village, he came prepared and his strength increased. is dominant.

Shao Jing said it easily, but his back was already covered with cold sweat.Gu art has always been mysterious. With the Zhang family's extensive contacts, they only know a little bit about Gu art. If he really started to do it, even if he has no problem, wheat is also a big problem, but he didn't show the slightest on the surface, and he sneered After a while: "Isn't it? You're over 60 this year, right? The loess is buried up to your neck, so why fight?"

Second Uncle Wu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "The loess is buried up to the neck? With Gu King, I can prolong my life!"

Shao Jing's ears perked up all of a sudden: "Can King Gu prolong life?"

Second Uncle Wu looked at him mockingly: "Why, didn't the Zhang family send this person to learn Gu? You don't even know about this?"

"Learning Gu?" Mai Mai pointed to her nose, confused, "About me? I didn't come here to learn Gu, me, I just want to..."

"Extend your life?" Uncle Wu looked at him like a fool, "The Gu master will extend the life of outsiders? Well, I can extend your life, but after the extension, how many more years you live will be in the Gu village." How many years you stay, you will never be able to take the time you continued from the Gu technique to live outside the mountain!"

Wheat understood in an instant.Zhang Shengyi is really too ghostly!He did send him to renew his life, he did offer him a great opportunity, and probably the only way to renew his life.But all the time after he continued his life, he had to spend it in this Gu village.This old fox not only satisfied his grandson's request, but at the same time completely separated Mai Mai from Shao Jing. Sure enough, this ginger is still old and spicy!
