The villagers couldn't help but worry when they saw that the village chief and others had not returned after going to Longyuan Mountain.
"Didn't the village chief and the others say they were going to check on the situation? If they haven't been back for so long, can something happen?"
"Logically speaking, it should be impossible."
Everyone deliberated for a moment and decided to go over together to see the situation. However, as soon as they got closer, they were extremely surprised by the scene they saw.
The village chief and the others actually sat cross-legged on the way into the mountain, their bodies motionless, and they looked somewhat similar to those domestic animals.
They felt a thump in their hearts and walked forward quickly.
"Village Chief! Village Chief!"
Hearing the noise, the village chief and others opened their eyes in a daze. When they saw the worried faces of everyone, they beat their chests and said, "It's a pity that I still didn't hear clearly."
Wu Yuan and several other villagers also had expressions of regret on their faces. Apparently they had not heard the specific message.
The other villagers looked confused and didn't know what was going on. They asked cautiously: "Village Chief, what's wrong with you? Are you suffering from a nightmare?"
The village chief sighed slightly, recounted the story, and finally said in annoyance: "That must be the voice of the mountain god, but it's a pity that it can't be heard clearly."
He waved his hand and said, "Go back."
The village chief, Wu Yuan and others had a premonition that the ethereal male voice they heard might have come from the mountain god. Unfortunately, they were not lucky and did not understand its meaning.
Now that the sound has dissipated, there is no need for them to stay any longer, but the mysterious and mysterious feeling is endlessly memorable.
It seems that there are slight changes in the body?
…
The mountain wind was blowing, and I could vaguely hear the painful and low roar of tigers, as well as the roar of beasts, which startled countless birds to hover in the sky.
The road to cultivation is never smooth, and some pains must be experienced. Even the winter plum blossoms can bloom to their fullest only after facing the snow and frost.
Regarding the pain endured by the Siberian tigers, although Ye Qin was able to use spiritual energy to guide them and help them relieve their pain, Ye Qin did not do so and chose to watch on the sidelines.
If you can't bear even this little pain, disaster will come to you in the future, and what will happen to these animals then?
"Since you choose to practice Taoism, you should be firm in your Taoism and keep moving forward. How can you be defeated by this pain and difficulty?"
Otherwise, it would be better not to practice and just be an ordinary animal.
The other animals looked thoughtful, looked at the elixir in their hands, and swallowed it without any hesitation, without any flinching or hesitation.
Ye Qin nodded with satisfaction. These animals have high plasticity.
As the first group of monsters, they must set an example.
The Siberian tiger almost fainted from the pain, almost rolling on the ground, and the ground was filled with dust.
I don't know how long it took for the pain to slowly subside. It opened its eyes hazy, and a pungent smell hit its face, almost sending it away on the spot.
The Siberian tiger climbed up from the ground. Although there was still some pain, it was almost negligible. The tiger's eyes turned and no trace of Ye Qin was found.
Instead, he saw a small black ball not far away. From the outline, it should be a monkey. Now only one eyeball was exposed. Seeing the embarrassed look of the little monkey, the Siberian tiger suddenly laughed with joy.
"Ho ho ho—"
The little black ball was the monkey from before. Hearing the laughter coming from around him, he also laughed.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The Siberian tiger was baffled, and soon discovered the mystery in those small animal pupils.
Because the reflection inside is an enlarged version of the black ball!
No wonder the little monkeys would also laugh, because both sides are incompetent. Even because of the huge size of the Siberian tiger, its black ball looks even more scary.
Not just them, but other animals too.
The impurities washed out of the body stuck to the hair, and dozens of black balls of different sizes and shapes appeared on the ground.
From a certain perspective, the Demon Transformation Pill also has the function of cleansing the muscles and cutting the marrow, allowing all impurities to be discharged from the animals' bodies, and at the same time, it is also transforming their bodies.
That's why there is such a phenomenon.
After all the animals laughed at each other, they rushed to a place with water, rolled in it, and their hair became fluffy and soft again.
At the same time, they were also keenly aware of the changes taking place in their bodies, which could be said to be completely transformed.
Ye Qin on the other side has already returned to the center of the formation to rest. Swallowing the Demon Transformation Pill is just a bit of a pain and will not kill you, so there is no need to worry about the lives of these animals being in danger.
This sermon consumed a lot of Ye Qin's mental energy, which is why those animals gained some benefit, and he also contributed to it.
Coupled with the refining of elixirs later, although his mental power was as vast as the sea, it could not withstand the continuous consumption.
However, this kind of thing, even if it is completely consumed, can be recuperated, which is not harmful to Ye Qin.
Ye Qin slowly opened his eyes, a faint golden light flashed across his pupils, as if he was doubtful.
"Huh?"
I don't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that his soul seems to become more solid.
I didn't realize it when I was preaching before. Ye Qin released his spiritual power and felt it carefully, and the power of his soul really increased.
This was an unexpected surprise. He didn't expect that this sermon would make his soul stronger by accident.
The golden elixir in the body circulates slowly, and the trickling energy slowly swims through Ye Qin's body like a stream. Each scale seems to have absorbed enough myths and shines with dazzling light.
The green snake on the boulder swallowed the essence of the sun and moon, constantly condensing the spiritual energy of the mountain. The hazy mist enveloped it again, and soon annihilated the green color.
As Ye Qin meditated to regain his mental strength, the animals in the mountains were not idle.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a tiger roar, floating in the mountain forest, some animals soon gathered. Although it was not as exaggerated as Ye Qin, there were still a lot of them.
The bright yellow figure stands out among the petite animals.
The Siberian tiger held its head high and its chest high. It was already full of arrogance, and after listening to the sermon and swallowing the demon pill this time, the aura emanating from its body was higher than that of other small animals. It wanted to raise its tail to the sky.
In addition to the Siberian tiger, all the animals that had swallowed the demon pill before were also present, but the animals seemed to have an unconvinced look on their faces.
However, in nature, the strong are respected, and this tiger is cunning and mean, so they have no choice but to succumb to the power.
The Siberian tiger was among the animals, like a human leader giving a speech. He was full of airs and immediately expressed his views, "Ho ho ho -"
Other animals are not far behind, "Zhi Zhi Zhi?"
"Whoa whoa whoa!"
Nowadays, most of them have opened their minds. Although they are of different types, there is no difficulty in communicating. All the small animals seem to be discussing some important matter, and they make various calls, which sound very lively.
Finally, the Siberian tiger made the final decision and slapped the ground, leaving a deep mark, and then the figure disappeared into the front.
The other animals looked at each other and soon followed.
The direction they left was the road leading down the mountain!
The thick fog in the mountains in the early morning spread towards the village unknowingly. Soon a layer of snow-white veil fell over Longyuan Village, and all the scenery became hazy, making it difficult to see the outline.
Because the farm work was not finished, villager Lao Zhang had to catch up on the progress. He got up early today. After breakfast, he picked up the hoe and went to the fields.
When I opened the door and took a look, I found that there was heavy fog, and I couldn't see very clearly. Even the sky was gloomy. It seemed that I didn't wake up. I couldn't help but mumble.
"Why is there such a heavy fog?"
There is a large temperature difference between day and night, and due to the terrain, it is normal for fog to occur. Although it affects the line of sight, it is not to the point where you cannot see your fingers, so it does not affect anything.
When we came to the farmland, it was quiet all around, but we heard rustling noises not far away.
Lao Zhang originally thought that he was the first, but he didn't expect that someone was earlier than him. He took the initiative to say hello: "You come to work so early."
Due to the fog, he could only see a rough shadow and could not see the specific outline. He did not know which villager it was.
That man was also a dull gourd, and seemed not to have heard Lao Zhang's greetings.
Lao Zhang touched his nose but didn't care. Maybe it was because others got up too early and didn't want to talk.
He picked up the hoe and started working in the field, but his eyes occasionally glanced at the shadow in the mist, full of curiosity and inquiry.
"Whose family owns the field next door? It seems to belong to the village head, Lao Li, and his family."
"It's strange. Didn't Lao Li say a few days ago that their farm work was almost done, and they haven't been busy lately."
Because of this, their family only came to the fields to see the fields in the afternoon. This was the first time they got up so early.
Lao Zhang asked tentatively: "Lao Li?"
The shadow still didn't answer, silently doing what it was doing.
Lao Zhang couldn't help but pay more attention to that shadow, and even became a little absent-minded about his farm work.
This time he looked carefully and could see that the shadow was not big and could not match up with Lao Li's family.
But if it weren't for Lao Li and his family, who would be so kind and come over to help so early in the morning?
The more Lao Zhang thought about it, the more strange he felt. He quietly moved closer to the shadow, wanting to see it more clearly.
The shadow seemed to be aware of his approach and slowly raised its head.
The next moment! Two green will-o'-the-wisps came into view!
"You little brat!"
Lao Zhang retreated suddenly, the hoe in his hand fell to the ground, and then screamed: "My mother! What a ghost!"
He ran away without looking back, using the fastest speed in his life.
He ran to the village in one breath, fearing that the ghost would chase him, but he accidentally bumped into the oncoming village chief.
Seeing his panic, the village chief couldn't help but ask, "Old Zhang, what's wrong with you?"
"I encountered a ghost in the field! It's in Lao Li's family's field!"
The village chief was a little unconvinced and looked him up and down, "Could it be that you didn't wake up? How could you encounter a ghost in broad daylight?"
Lao Zhang swallowed his saliva and said, "It's true village chief. I won't lie to you. If you don't believe it, come with me and have a look."
The village chief followed him dubiously, probably because there was someone around him, and Lao Zhang didn't feel so panicked. The two of them walked together. Along the way, the fog also dispersed a lot, and the field of vision became wider.
The two came to the farmland, and as expected, they found a shadow on Lao Zhang's field.
Lao Zhang's voice trembled slightly, "The ghost is still here!"
The village chief glanced at him and said, "Look at you like this, what if you are really a ghost? We are under the protection of the mountain god, and the ghost can still hurt us?"
After hearing what the village chief said, Lao Zhang thought for a moment and was no longer so scared.
The village chief narrowed his eyes. The shadow had his back to them. He was carrying a wooden bucket and a ladle. He was very familiar with his movements and kept shuttling back and forth in the field.
However, due to the distance and the fog, although the specific outline cannot be seen clearly, there is nothing unusual in his behavior.
The village chief looked at Lao Zhang suspiciously, "It's quite normal. You weren't dazzled just now, were you? How can a ghost do farm work so neatly?"
As the two continued to get closer, the village chief finally discovered something was wrong.
The hair on this shadow seems to be too thick. How can a human being have so much hair, not even ghosts?
The shadow also noticed their arrival and turned around slowly.
Both sides immediately stared at each other.
At this moment, the village chief and Lao Zhang were finally able to see clearly what kind of creatures were working in the fields!
It's actually a monkey!
At the moment, it is carrying a bamboo basket on its back and a bamboo hat on its head. It is holding a bucket in its left hand and a ladle in its right hand. It looks quite decent, and those who don't know it really think it is a farmer working in the fields.
In comparison, the empty-handed village chief and Lao Zhang seemed a bit out of place.
This time it was the village chief's turn to lose his composure slightly, with a look of horror on his face.
"I, we got it right, right?"
Lao Zhang also felt that the scene he saw before him was more bizarre than seeing ghosts.
Both parties looked at each other and rubbed their eyes in unison.
The monkey was not afraid when he saw someone coming, and even worked harder because there was an audience next to him.
The village chief and Lao Zhang felt that the world had become a bit fantasy. Could it be that they got angry today and saw monkeys working in the fields?
The key is that this monkey's farm work is still good, not worse than them at all.
"Are you afraid this monkey has become a spirit?"
The monkey was busy for a while, and then came to Lao Zhang's field. He screamed without knowing what he was talking about, and kept making gestures with his hands.
Lao Zhang scratched his head and didn't understand, "What does it mean?"
The monkey pointed at the field and then at Lao Zhang.
An incredible idea came to the village chief's mind, and he asked out of nowhere: "It said it wants to help you work?"
The moment the words fell to the ground, Monkey nodded sharply, as if he couldn't wait.
Lao Zhang looked at the fantasy scene in front of him, his eyes fell on the village chief, and he subconsciously blurted out, "Village Chief, when did you learn monkey language!"
Seeing Lao Zhang's admiring eyes, the village chief's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
…
On the other side, the villager Da Zhuang wanted to go to the next village to have a drink. Because he was delayed by something, he hesitated for a moment and chose a trail.
Many years ago, he also went to have a banquet, and when he came back on this road, he saw hundreds of beasts worshiping the moon. From then on, the mountains became more mysterious.
This place is overgrown with weeds and very deserted. No one has walked there for a long time, but it is the closest.
Da Zhuang looked in a hurry and did not notice the flash of cold light on the ground under his feet.
The next second, heartbreaking pain spread from the soles of his feet.
"ah!"
Accompanied by heart-rending screams, Da Zhuang fell to the ground holding his feet. Looking at the iron nails that were about to penetrate the entire sole of his feet, he couldn't help showing an annoyed expression.
"It's really unlucky. If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken this road."
I thought I was taking a shortcut, but I didn't know when the iron nail was left here. I accidentally let Da Zhuang take a shortcut.
The head of the iron nail was extremely sharp, and half of the nail body was not penetrated. Da Zhuang gritted his teeth and tried to pull out the nail, but the nail went in too deep and could not be pulled out for a while.
He was lying on the roadside with a pale face, his sweat was like raindrops, and the soles of his feet were dripping with blood, almost flowing into a stream. This time, let alone rushing to have a drink, it was even difficult to move.
"Hey, hey, I'm big and strong. I got injured in the mountains. Come pick me up!"
Da Zhuang shouted with his cell phone, but for some reason in the mountain, the signal was extremely weak. Just when he was at a loss, the bushes not far away were swaying, as if there was something moving.
Da Zhuang's eyes showed hope, but after seeing clearly what creature was coming, all the color on his face faded.
That turned out to be a jackal!
This jackal is taller than usual, and the fangs in its mouth are shining with cold light.
Normally, he would definitely not take the jackal seriously, but now that he has difficulty moving, even if he has great skills, he still can't use them.
The jackal looked at its injured leg, its eyes extremely dark.
Damn it! He must have been attracted by the smell of blood.
Although under the protection of the mountain god these years, the animals in the mountains have never actively attacked people, or even harassed them.
Humans and animals are very harmonious. It can be said that they are in harmony with each other.
But jackals are carnivores, and they smell the smell of blood. Their nature in their bones will definitely not change. It is equivalent to putting a large piece of fat in front of them. How could they not eat it?
Da Zhuang was so tense that he subconsciously clenched his fists and stared at the gray shadow. As long as the jackal made any movement, he would punch out.
However, he was not completely sure that he would be able to hit the target with one hit. After all, his legs and feet were somewhat inconvenient. If he failed to hit the jackal, he might be the one who died.
The jackal glanced at him, his eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he howled in the sky.
"Woo——"
The long voice floated into the distance, but fell like a devil's whisper in the big ears.
Could it be that he still wants to call for help? !
Compared to Da Zhuang's nervousness, the jackal seemed much more leisurely, squatting next to him and licking his fur from time to time.
Da Zhuang was not that easy to endure. He faced double torture both mentally and physically.
The excruciating pain under his feet reminded him all the time that he wanted to take off the nails, but the jackal was right next to him and did not dare to do anything rashly.
And his wound also needs to be treated. It is a rusty nail, and it is still bleeding because it penetrated too deep.
Da Zhuang felt like there was a knife hanging above his head, and he was in danger of falling at any time.
Is it because of my carelessness that I have to explain it here today?
For a time, Da Zhuang felt infinite regret in his heart.
Following a rustling sound, there was another movement in the grass not far away, but I was afraid of something coming.
Da Zhuang's pupils suddenly shrank, looking at a few more jackals, he secretly thought that he didn't read the almanac when he went out today.
If he had known that something like this would happen, let alone taking a shortcut, he would not have even left the door!
These jackals are outflanking him from different places, and they all say that it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, not to mention that now that he is still unable to move, God is going to kill him!
In Da Zhuang's panic, he didn't notice that those jackals seemed to be holding something in their mouths.
Seeing the arrival of his companions, the jackal that had been squatting on the ground finally took action, making a roaring sound in his throat. From time to time, the beast's eyes fell on Da Zhuang, indicating something with his eyes.
Several pairs of green beast eyes fell on his body, making people's scalp numb.
Apparently they were about to attack.
Da Zhuang's face turned paler and paler, and his back was almost wet with sweat, as if he had seen himself being bitten.
"If you eat me, the mountain god will not spare you!"
Da Zhuang glared at these jackals fiercely. I don't know if it was his imagination, but it always felt like the jackals rolled their eyes, looking like they were looking at fools.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a low roar, Da Zhuang felt a chill running down his spine and couldn't think about it anymore.
The jackals suddenly swarmed him, and he waved his fists, but it had no effect at all. The jackals were very flexible, as if they had predicted his trajectory in advance.
Da Zhuang closed his eyes in despair, but the pain of being bitten as he imagined did not come, only the feeling of being out of breath.
Those jackals seemed small in size, but their strength was astonishing. No matter how hard Da Zhuang struggled, the jackals remained motionless. Da Zhuang felt like a monkey trapped in Wuzhi Mountain, unable to turn over at all.
Since when did jackals have so much strength?
Da Zhuang felt a little incredible in his heart, and even forgot that his life was still in the hands of the jackal.
His hands and feet were held down by furry claws. The jackals were very measured and did not show their claws.
So Da Zhuang was just pinned in place, but he was not injured, but the stone beneath him was a little uncomfortable.
Da Zhuang felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience. Logically speaking, the first time he caught a prey, he shouldn't have had a full meal. Why did he pin him to the ground before he could figure out what the jackal's purpose was? .
The leading jackal at the beginning slowly came to his side and raised its claws.
It’s finally time to take action!
Da Zhuang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he could already see the shadow of death.
However, the seemingly lethal claws were gently placed on his wrist!
Sensing the furry touch on his wrist, Da Zhuang turned his head sharply, just in time to meet the jackal's sharp fangs and the faint beast eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder.
What is the jackal doing? !
Looking at Jackal's behavior, Da Zhuang inexplicably reminded of Dr. Wu in the village.
This is how Wu Yuan treats patients. He diagnoses and treats by taking the pulse, looking, smelling, asking and feeling.
The figure of the jackal in front of him and Wu Yuan actually seemed to overlap for a moment.
Da Zhuang felt that the thoughts that came to his mind were extremely ridiculous.
How could a jackal see a doctor? It is simply a fantasy to say this.
"Ouch..."
Soon I heard the low roar of jackals, and I didn't know what they were communicating.
Da Zhuang felt uneasy, but strangely, the feeling of fear and panic in his heart was reduced a lot. He could detect a furry animal claw lingering near his feet.
Before he could figure out what the jackal was going to do.
The heart-wrenching pain spread from the soles of his feet again, causing Da Lian to lose his strength instantly, like a deflated ball falling limply to the ground, and then there was a cool feeling at the wound.
The cold feeling slightly relieved the burning pain, and the sour feeling was like riding a roller coaster.
He looked up and saw that the jackal that had taken his pulse earlier was standing on its hind legs like a human being, and its forelimbs were applying herbs flexibly.
Even the originally ferocious beast head looks a little more like a hanging pot to help the world.
The feet were covered with an unknown green object, which seemed to be some kind of plant, but Da Zhuang didn't recognize it. Unexpectedly, the blood was also restrained, and finally it was wrapped with wide and soft leaves.
The jackal patted its claws and nodded repeatedly, seeming to be extremely satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Roar!"
There was another low roar, and the jackals who were holding the big pillar stood up and retreated to the side.
The leading jackal took a deep look at Dazhuang, and then dived into the nearby bushes without looking back.
Da Zhuang stared blankly at the jackal's leaving figure, and then looked at the ground, where there was a rusty nail with blood on it.
If Da Zhuang was a little doubtful before, now he has confirmed that these jackals are really healing themselves!
When he held himself down earlier, he probably saw the vigilance and hostility in his eyes, so he called out to his companions.
Thinking of this, Da Zhuang was shocked.
Who dares to believe this matter?
Not only did the jackal not hurt him, he even helped him pull out nails to heal his wounds.
The bushes shook slightly, and a little jackal came back, but this time he didn't even give Da Zhuang an extra look.
He picked up the nail casually, as if he was worried about pricking the feet of passers-by again.
Seeing that the jackal was about to leave, Da Zhuang finally recovered from the series of shocks and couldn't help but say: "Thank you."
The jackal paused, swung its tail unconsciously, nodded to Da Zhuang, and then got into the bushes.
For a moment, Da Zhuang wondered whether the jackal was a human being, or how else to explain its series of behaviors just now.
Since the nails were pulled out, the wound was simply treated. Although the wound under his feet was still painful, at least Da Zhuang regained his mobility and he limped towards the village.
I can't eat this table.
And when I think back to the scene just now, it feels like a dream.
…
In the village.
The door of Wu Yuan's house was soon knocked and banged.
The villager hurried over and said, "Dr. Wu, my son's foot is injured. You should go and have a look."
"Uncle Yang, don't worry."
Wu Yuan took the medicine box and followed Uncle Yang to their house. The young man lying on the bed was Da Zhuang. Apart from looking a little dazed, his complexion was actually pretty good.
Looking at the wound on Da Zhuang's foot, Wu Yuan frowned, "It's quite deep now."
Hearing this, Uncle Yang's heart suddenly lifted, "It'll be okay."
Wu Yuan shook his head, "Don't worry, the nail was pulled out in time and the bleeding stopped. I'll re-treat the wound and prescribe medicine and it will be fine in a few days. But it's best to go to town and get a tetanus shot."
Wu Yuan recognized that the herbs on Da Zhuang's feet were specially used to stop bleeding, and felt a little strange, "Dazhuang, when will you be able to recognize herbs again?"
But Da Zhuang shook his head, "I don't know how."
"Then who will treat your wound?"
Wu Yuan was even more puzzled. After all, there were not many people in a hundred miles around who could recognize herbal medicine.
Da Zhuang hesitated and said, "Jackal took care of it for me."
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang who were standing next to him were dumbfounded when they heard this, "It's over, this kid was not only pierced by nails in his feet, but his head was also pierced."
Da Zhuang shook his head seriously, "I'm serious, parents, although it's hard to believe this, it was indeed the jackal who handled it for me."
Da Zhuang told what happened on that trail.
Whether it was Uncle Yang or Wu Yuan, they were all shocked.
How could a jackal take a pulse? He can even identify herbs and bandage Da Zhuang's wounds, which sounds really fantastic.
But that's not the only incredible thing.
As the fog in the village completely dissipated, more and more animals came to the farmland, first monkeys, then monkeys, and even hyenas.
The village chief and Lao Zhang were shocked at first, but eventually became numb.
Many villagers were also attracted by the noise here. Looking at the animals helping to work in the fields, they all thought they were awake.
Some villagers even wanted to help, but these animals were not willing. They could only watch from the side, seemingly doing nothing.
Even at the mountain temple, there are animals with brooms and rags, cleaning it spotlessly and cleanly.
I originally thought that helping with farm work was surprising enough, but soon, the news about Da Zhuang being rescued by a jackal spread to everyone's ears, which aroused even more consternation in the villagers, and finally confirmed one thing!
"The animals in the mountains have become spirits after being exposed to the light of the mountain god!"
"A monster appears in our Longyuan Village..."
