After listening to Mrs. Niu Zhuang's narration, Lin Xixue was speechless for a moment, with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't know whether it was anger or sadness.
How could she not have guessed that the Taoist You Fang mentioned by Mrs. Niu Zhuang was simply a charlatan who defrauded Niu Zhuang of the gold nugget she gave him.
Mrs. Niu Zhuang was so ill that she sought medical treatment and believed this liar. Although she was confused and angry, was this really all her responsibility?
She sighed and understood once again why it was so difficult to eradicate the theory of ghosts and gods in this world, and why Lu Er failed in trying to completely ban the theory of ghosts and gods.
People in this world don't know much about literacy. They don't know what to do when they encounter things they can't understand and problems they can't solve.
The level of medical care is underdeveloped. If you get cold today, you may be dead tomorrow; if you can barely eat today, maybe tomorrow the whole village will be wiped out when the soldiers and bandits come - just like the mountain village where Qu Ruoyin lives. generally.
The people are living such a precarious life, and naturally they have no confidence in their hearts.
When I feel unsure, I naturally want to seek some spiritual comfort that transcends the material level, and seek some psychological security.
This not only gives monsters like Tianzun and Leizu the opportunity to absorb incense and strengthen themselves, but also gives many charlatans room to survive.
Mrs. Niu Zhuang was deceived by this wandering Taoist, so naturally she cannot be entirely blamed.
Lin Xixue sighed and said, "You can lead the way. I'll go check on Brother Niu."
Mrs. Niu Zhuang was extremely surprised. The temple ministers of the highly virtuous and respected City God's Temple all saluted the girl. This girl must be a person of great ability.
Now such a capable person actually calls my husband "Brother Niu"?
She couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. Could it be that the city god showed up and sent this girl to the mortal world to save people in trouble? So, this girl is actually a fairy?
She thought for a while and immediately concluded that Lin Xixue's appearance must be the result of the appearance of the City God. She clasped her hands together and bowed several times in the direction of the City God's Temple, uttering endless words of gratitude.
After paying homage to the City God again, she turned around and faced Lin Xixue with a more respectful attitude, saying: "Yes, yes, I will lead the way for Fairy Girl."
With that said, he led Lin Xixue home.
As soon as Lin Xixue entered the door, she saw a man's head sticking out of the manger, chewing grass crazily. Taking a closer look, if it's not Niu Zhuang, who is it?
When Mrs. Niu Zhuang saw this, she was so anxious that she burst into tears. She rushed up the mountain to stop it and said, "Husband, this is fodder. You cannot eat it. Tell me what you want to eat and I will prepare it for you."
“Hissing, squeaking,” Niu Zhuang let out a strange cry and pushed his wife away, “Don’t worry about me, this fodder is of the highest quality, it’s delicious.”
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and started chewing.
Mrs. Niu Zhuang was so anxious that tears came out. She rushed over, hugged Lin Xixue's leg and said: "Xiangu who saves people in distress, please save my husband. Look at him like this."
Lin Xixue nodded to her and said, "Don't be impatient for a moment. I'll explore the situation first."
She walked forward and whispered "Brother Niu" to Niu Zhuang who was chewing grass in the manger.
When Niu Zhuang heard the sound, his chewing movements stopped, and he slowly raised his head. Seeing that it was Lin Xixue, he screamed with joy again, "Hissing, squeaking - Sister Lin, it's you! How did you know that my family is here?" Where?"
He stretched his hands out of the manger, grabbed a handful of fodder and said, "Sister Lin, you're welcome, eat whatever you want. This is all the fodder that I dried myself. Hiss, you can't eat such delicious fodder anywhere else."
Lin Xixue frowned. Was Niu Zhuang's mind eroded by evil spirits and going crazy here? Or was there really some kind of unique mutation in his body that made him think this fodder was delicious?
She had previously learned from Lu Er that converts could only feed on incense, and her own personal experience also verified this.
It stands to reason that Niu Zhuang has also been targeted by King Hayato Ming, so he can only feed on incense, but now he is eating grass with relish?
But forage and incense were obviously out of reach, and it was obviously impossible to replenish the incense by eating forage. She decided to first test whether Niu Zhuang was sane at the moment.
"Brother Niu, do you still know who you are?"
"Hiss, who am I?" Niu Zhuang suddenly froze, seeming to be thinking about something, "Who am I?"
"I can't remember, but King Ming gave me a new name a few days ago, called Niu Ma. I think it's good. I also like horses, so it's good to call me Niu Ma."
"Brother Niu, your name is Niu Zhuang, not Niu Ma!" Lin Xixue warned sternly, trying to awaken his consciousness.
"Niu Zhuang. Who is Niu Zhuang? It's such a familiar name. I am Niu Ma. I am not Niu Zhuang. I am Niu Ma. I am Jialan under the throne of Ming Dynasty!"
"I am an ox and a horse. Prince Ming has passed down to me "Zou Ma Jiu Ye Lu". I want to pull the cart. My whole body is full of energy. I want to pull the cart!"
With that said, he rushed out of the manger, walked to the carriage, put the reins around his neck, and neighed excitedly one after another.
"I want to pull the cart. The carriage is the dojo of Prince Ming. I am Jialan under the throne of Prince Ming. I want to pull the cart for Prince Ming. Sister Lin, wherever you want to go, I can pull you there within Jiuye!"
He propped his knees and palms on the ground. The wound on the back of his hand caused by beating the ground had healed, but a rather obvious circular scar had formed. From a distance, it looked like "flesh had grown on the back of his hand." Hooves” in general.
Niu Zhuang's wife saw all this in her eyes, held her forehead, almost fainted from fright, and begged Lin Xixue: "Suffering fairy, please save my husband."
Lin Xixue only felt that the development of this matter seemed to be somewhat beyond her expectation. Although Niu Zhuang's words just now were confusing, she could guess the whole story based on the information she already knew.
This King Hayato Ming gave Niu Zhuang a copy of "Zou Ma Jiu Ye Lu" two days ago. Judging from the name, it is either a technique for cultivation or something similar to his own jade book.
He said that he was a garam under King Ming's throne, which obviously meant that he had completely converted to King Hayato Ming.
He also said that this carriage is a dojo. Could it be that this carriage is like a temple or a Taoist temple, and can continuously provide incense for Hayagriva?
If this is the case, then the truth must be that Hayagriva tried his best to let the strong ox pull the carriage, and the passengers could enter the carriage and ride the carriage, which in turn could continuously provide the power of incense to Hayagriva.
But why did the changes occur so quickly in Niu Zhuang?
She looked at Niu Zhuang's current appearance. There were hoof-like growths on the back of his hands, and his face seemed to have become longer. The molars protruding from his lips that could be opened freely made him look more like a "horse".
She has only seen two people whose bodies have undergone serious physical changes due to being eroded by evil spirits - one is Hong Yanzi and the other is Lu Er. Both of them have been exposed to evil spirits for a long time, which resulted in serious physical distortions. .
However, this bull has only been in contact for less than half a month, so why has the physical distortion reached such a serious level?
