"Borrowing your life?"
Looking blankly at the solemn expression of Zen Master Lingyou, Zhang Tutu, a big boss, although he didn't know what kind of evil magic it was, he could hear the horror of this evil magic from the name.
In fact, similar witchcraft has been circulating in this Miao border area for a long time, and older people have heard similar rumors.
It is said that in the Miao border area of western Hunan, if someone in the family dies unexpectedly and the evil spirit cannot be eliminated, their ghosts will come back to cause trouble on the first seven days.
Therefore, well-prepared family members often prepare a ghost coin wrapped with copper coins in advance and throw it on the road in the mountains, so that passers-by can pick up the coins and paper money.
After picking it up, it means that you agree to lend your life for seven days to help the victim's family survive the first seven days and become the target of evil spirits.
If the fate is hard, it is nothing more than inexplicable disaster and serious illness.
But if you are unlucky, you will become the ghost's substitute and report to the underworld on his behalf.
"Yes, this is a life-borrowing magic."
Although it is different from the magic of borrowing life in the conventional sense, Zhang Chusheng's various performances are completely consistent with the characteristics of the magic of borrowing life.
The only thing that Zen Master Lingyou is confused about now is that the magic of life-borrowing is used by the caster to ward off disasters for himself, so he usually looks for those middle-aged men with sufficient yang energy as the objects of life-borrowing.
Why did the caster this time find a child like Zhang Chusheng?
If you ask a minor child like Zhang Chusheng to borrow your life, the so-called "life-borrowing magic" is not "borrowing your life", but actually harming people.
"Why? Who wants to harm my son?!"
Also realizing this, Butcher Zhang growled in a low voice with an angry and sad expression.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Why? Who wants to harm my son?!"
Pei Wende, who had just returned from the back mountain waterfall, could hear Butcher Zhang's heart-rending roar from a distance as he hurriedly opened the back door of the temple.
And those who heard the roar together with Pei Wende were Monk Huiji and Xiaoqing who had been "chatting privately" in the backyard.
Of course, at this moment, Xiaoqing is no longer the half-human, half-snake succubus form before. Instead, she transformed into a three-foot green snake just before Pei Wende opened the door and walked in.
"Eh? Xiaoqing?"
At a glance, he saw the scene of Xiaoqing and Huiji standing face to face, and Pei Wende opened his mouth in surprise.
Because in his impression, Xiao Qing always seemed to avoid Tongqing Temple intentionally or unintentionally, and limited his activities to the waterfall in the back mountain.
This is the first time Pei Wende has seen Xiaoqing appear in Tongqing Temple, and he seems to be chatting well with Huiji?
"hiss!"
Before Pei Wende came to his senses, Xiaoqing noticed the three sneaky civet cats hiding behind him.
"Ah! I was discovered by the snake demon!"
"Dad! Help!"
"No, I'm going to be eaten!"
…
The Civet Mountain brothers were obviously saved by Li Gang, but I wonder if Xiao Qing left such a terrifying impression on them.
As a result, when the Civet Mountain brothers saw Xiaoqing paying attention to him, they covered their heads and started shouting in a panic, which was not at all like their attitude towards a "savior".
"Hey, Xiaoqing, don't scare them!"
After softly comforting the three civet brothers, Pei Wende turned around and said to Xiao Qing.
He noticed that Xiao Qing was deliberately unleashing murderous intent on the three civet brothers, which was more effective than any real danger to the timid and sensitive animals.
"hiss!"
After spitting out the snake letter coldly, Xiaoqing snaked leisurely to Pei Wende's side, then raised her head and neighed at him.
"Well……"
Pei Wende, who had long been accustomed to Xiao Qing's attitude, instinctively bent down and stretched out his hand, letting the other person climb up along his arm.
But actions are actions, and Pei Wende was not blinded by Xiao Qing's actions. He was now very curious about why Xiao Qing had such strong hostility towards these three brothers.
"Have these three little guys offended you before? Why do you seem to have such a strong opinion of them?"
Faced with Pei Wende's question, Xiaoqing just skillfully got into the other person's collar, then closed his eyes and looked like "I didn't hear anything."
"Ha ha……"
On the contrary, it was Hui Ji who was a bystander and smiled unkindly.
Because although he knew that a powerful and withdrawn monster like Xiao Qing was extremely possessive, he didn't expect that its possessiveness would be so strong.
Even for non-threatening spirits like the three civet brothers, it showed such an obvious repulsive attitude.
"Senior brother?"
It was obvious that he could hear the joking in Hui Ji's laughter, and Pei Wende, who had never been one to take advantage of others, immediately turned his attention to him.
"What were you talking about with Xiaoqing just now? I remember you don't seem to know each other that well, right?"
Pei Wende was well aware of Hui Ji's character of not taking things too seriously. He was afraid that the other party would lead Xiao Qing into trouble. He stared at the other party suspiciously, fearing that he would instill some messy thoughts into Xiao Qing.
After all, although Xiaoqing has a hundred years of experience, he is a genuine newbie when it comes to dealing with people. If he is not careful, he will be led into the ditch by Huiji.
"Haha, you two are really a wonderful pairing."
Instead of answering Pei Wende's question directly, Huiji decisively changed the subject after laughing twice.
"But compared to what Xiaoqing and I talked about, I think the situation on Master's side is more important now!"
After Huiji's reminder, Pei Wende also realized that now was indeed not the time to ask this question, because the sounds coming from the front yard were getting louder and louder.
At this moment, Butcher Zhang obviously could not accept the conclusion that "someone deliberately wanted to kill Zhang Chusheng."
There is no doubt that if the current spellcaster dared to appear in front of Zhang Butcher, he would kill him with a knife without hesitation due to his bad temper.
"I'll talk to you about this later. Saving people is more important now."
Although he was somewhat concerned about what concepts Hui Ji had instilled in Xiao Qing, Pei Wende, who knew the priorities, decided to put aside the situation here for the time being and go to comfort Zhang Butcher, who had obviously gone berserk.
"You three should follow us together, and don't think about escaping."
Before leaving, Pei Wende did not forget to turn his head and deliberately warned the three civet brothers who were standing at the door.
Pei Wende had no doubt that without his words, these three timid civet cats would have turned around and ran away without hesitation.
"ah……"
"But……"
"Do not do this……"
Just as Pei Wende expected, the three civet brothers who heard this sentence began to wail one after another under Hui Ji's interested eyes.
"Well……"
Even in order to satisfy her own bad taste, Huiji deliberately added a sentence at the end that was extremely lethal to the three of them.
"I remember that I lost a can of tea for no reason some time ago. I don't know who stole it?"
