Huang Cai has been a farmer all his life and married a daughter-in-law in a neighboring village.

Originally, he could live a thriving life with both children and children, but everything has changed.

Huang Cai sighed and said: "A few years ago, when we were building roads here, when we were about to dig a road on the head of the land lord, we suddenly dug two big snakes. The first big snake was cut off by the middle and died on the spot, but the second big snake was cut off.But Er Tiao ran away. The staff behind the road repair encountered various problems.

There are also problems in our village.

The water for eating turned into blood, the crops dried up and died, and all the livestock I raised died overnight, and even my two sons and daughters..."

Huang Cai couldn't help crying.

Shen Huo was silent for a while, and continued to ask: "Is there no one to care about such a big thing?"

Huang Cai explained: "There was a Taoist priest who came here before, but he was found drowned in the small river after he finished the ritual. Later, both the witch and the Taoist priest refused when they heard that they came to Qishan Village. After a long time,It seems that the weird incidents at the beginning have gradually stopped, the village has become quiet, and everyone has left it alone."

Shen Huo caught a glimpse of the white hair on Huang Cai's head and couldn't help sighing.

Huang Cai was only under forty years old, he lost his father and mother in his early years, his son and daughter died of inexplicable illnesses when he was young, and his wife became paralyzed in his later years, the family was half broken up.

Huang Cai wiped away the tears from his face, cleaned up the dishes, and said to Shen Huo: "Mr. Shen, please rest early, I'll go see my wife."

Shen Huo watched Huang Cai go downstairs before closing the door.

"What did you find?" Shen Zhuo asked Xiaohua.

Only Shen Huo's waist-high little flower raised her baby's fat chin and said to Shen Huo, "His face is very strange."

Shen Tuo nodded: "What did you see?"

Xiao Hua struggled and said, "I don't know if I see it right."

Shen Huo waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, if I make a mistake, I will correct it for you."

Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Huang Cai's face is a widower's life. He has had a miserable life, no sons and no daughters, and nowhere to rely on for old age. But his eyes are clear and straight, his face is tough, his roots are long and round, and his life is going smoothly. His old children and grandchildren are under his knees, and his children and grandchildren are full of children.It's safe life. Two different aspects, so strange."

Shen Huo said: "The face is good, but you forgot what, what changed his fate."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiaohua's mind, and she looked at Shen Huo with bright eyes.

"Brother is that road?"

Shen Huo nodded, "As you said before, this road is cut off by snakes and flowed against the wind. Originally, Huang Cai could have a rich life, but that road destroyed Qishan Village's feng shui and turned Qishan Village into a place where people live everywhere.A drafty colander can't catch luck. If I'm not wrong, most of the children born in the whole village will die in infancy."

Xiaohua couldn't figure out why there was such a backlash in the village.

He told Shen Zhuo what he was confused about.

Shen Huo looked at Qishan in the distance, and there was an emotion that Xiao Hua couldn't see through in his gaze.

"Of course it's not just Fengshui. Fengshui affects people at most, but it doesn't change luck. There must be something big in this mountain."

Xiao Hua asked, "Are you from the Bon religion?"

"Huh?" Shen Huo came back to his senses, touched Xiao Hua's head and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Xiao Hua said: "Uncle Zhang Wu told me before that the people of the Bon religion are cruel and ruthless, and they like to bet on the lives of ordinary people the most. I think the people of the Bon religion should do it!"

Shen Huo smiled: "Go to sleep, you will know when you go up the mountain tomorrow."

Xiao Hua yawned and nodded vigorously.

A night without dreams.

Early in the morning, Shen Huo was awakened by the noise downstairs.

He turned his head and glanced at the sleeping Xiaohua, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

"My son, my poor child!"

"Honey, our son is going to study, he's fine!"

"real?"

"When did my old Huang lie to you?"

Shen Huo walked to the corner and heard Huang Cai talking to a woman with a slightly crazy tone, and knew in his heart that this might be Huang Cai's wife who was paralyzed in bed.

He went out and stood at the gate of Huang Cai's house, staring at the village.

As soon as he walked out the door, he "saw" that there was an invisible yin energy around him.

From here you can see the road at the top of the mountain, which is the broken snake head.

At this time, Snake Mountain came alive.

The sound roared and wailed.

The mountain wind blows, mixed with a stench.

Shen Ruo raised his brows when he smelled the smell.

It was a smell of blood.

"Mr. Shen, you got up so early."

Huang Cai stood at the door, holding a few cabbages in his hands.

Shen confused: "Does your wife have nightmares every night?"

Huang Cai stopped washing the dishes, and looked at Shen Huo with wide eyes.

"Mr. Shen, how do you know?"

Shen confused: "You just need to answer."

Huang Cai nodded quickly, "Yes, my wife dreams every night, saying that Xiao Bao and Xiao Yu'er are back, and asked me to pick them up at the door."

He looked lonely, and the death of a pair of children was always a pain in his heart.

"Aside from that, she hasn't said anything else?"

The deep and clear voice forcibly pulled Huang Cai back from his grief.

"Yes, she said, she saw her children playing on the mountain, and there was a kind old lady on the mountain accompanying her children. This old lady was the one she saw the day she broke her waist."

After Shen Huo thought for a while, "Can I go and see her?"

"Mr. Shen, my wife's expression has become crazy since then, and sometimes she doesn't even recognize me."

Shen Huo said directly: "I guess you have already guessed my identity, let me help you see, maybe your wife can be saved?"

Huang Cai hesitated for a moment, then led Shen Zhuo into the room.

Huang Cai's wife has been paralyzed for several years, and there is always some smell in the room.He looked at Shen Huo carefully, and found that Shen Huo's eyes were calm, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Shen Ruo looked at the room.

The room was tidy and tidy, and Huang Cai's wife was lying on the bed and already asleep. Her facial features were relatively delicate, but she was frowning all the year round because of the pain, forcing her brows to be surrounded by stasis.

Shen Huo took out a piece of talisman paper, folded it into a triangle, and asked Huang Cai to press it under her tongue.

Huang Cai quickly made the talisman paper according to Shen Huo's instructions.

Shen Huo made a mudra in his hand, recited the mantra silently, and applied it to her forehead.

Huang Cai's wife trembled all over, rolled her eyes upwards, her expression was struggling and in pain, and she let out an inhuman roar from her throat.

"Master, this..."

In a hurry, Huang Cai even changed his address.

Shen Huo ignored him, but quickly pulled out a white line that was still wriggling from the woman's forehead.

Huang Cai quickly covered his mouth.

After doing all this, the talisman paper contained by the woman turned into ashes and floated out of the woman's mouth automatically.

Shen Huo looked at the white line, and after a closer look, it was a white line, but a white snake cub.

"The reason why your wife is crazy is because of this little thing."

Shen Huo picked up the white snake cub and went straight to Huang Cai.

Huang Cai hurriedly jumped away, and asked fearfully, "Master Shen, is my wife okay now?"

Shen Huo said: "She is fine, but something is going to happen in your village."

Huang Cai asked nervously, "Master Shen, why do you say that?"

"Did you eat that big snake?"

Huang Cai shook his head hastily, "The big dead snake has already been thrown down the mountain by the contractor. Besides, no one in our village will touch such a taboo thing."

Shen confused himself and said, "You didn't eat it? Do you know why your wife has these things?"

Huang Cai honestly shook his head.

Shen Huo said: "Because you are carrying the fate of becoming a ghost, so it came to you to claim your life."

Huang Cai was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly explained: "People in our village don't know how to eat snake meat. Snakes are the worst and hold grudges, so how could we eat them!"

No?

Shen Huo rubbed his chin, Huang Cai was honest and responsible, and he probably wouldn't lie.

At this moment, Shen Huo turned his head and looked towards the door, only to find that it was Xiao Hua at the door.

"elder brother."

A smile appeared on Shen Huo's indifferent face again.

"Xiaohua, you're awake."

He threw away the ghost of the little snake, and afterward, the little snake merged into the yin energy of the village.

"Brother, are you hungry?"

Huang Cai quickly said, "I'm going to cook now."

Shen Huo called Huang Cai to stop, "I'd better come by myself, just in time there will be guests coming later."

Is anyone else coming?

Huang Cai thought for a while, and went directly to help Shen Huo.

After a while, after the four dishes and one soup were ready, Xiao Hua, who was sitting at the door, saw a vehicle approaching in the distance and waved.

"Brother Meng, this way!"

That's right, it was Meng Jing and the others who came here.

In the morning, Shen Huo sent a message to Meng Jingtong.

Meng Jingtong who received the news directly brought his fellow disciples to Qishan.

Shen Huo wiped his hands, let Meng Jing and the others sit by themselves, and talked about the situation here while eating.

There were three people who came together with Meng Jing, Zhang Xin, Chen Ajin, and Uncle Zhang Wu's only apprentice, Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao was the most unlucky person in Miaojiang during that period. He was seriously injured and has been recuperating. He only returned to work in the last few days.

When have nothing to do, will talk about head with Zhang Xin.

Until, Meng Jingtong, who was arresting the young man, saw it and asked them to follow him to Qishan.

Hearing that it was Shen Ruo's order, the two came immediately.

After coming here, was even more surprised when ate the meal cooked by Shen Zhuo.

"This time we will go up the mountain to collect the snake demon." Shen Huo said.

Meng Jingtong put down his chopsticks and asked, "Master, is it just a snake demon?"

Shen Huo shook his head, "There may be a false god."

"Cough cough."

The remaining three people coughed quickly.

"False god?" Chen Ajin was dumbfounded.

"Is it just us?" Zhang Xin asked in disbelief.

"A snake demon is easy to deal with, but if you add false gods, it may be a bit difficult." Zhang Yao said.

Shen Huo said: "You guys get rid of the snake monster later, just leave the false god to me."

The three of them wanted to say more, but they were stopped by Meng Jingtong's eyes.

After thinking about it carefully, they felt that Shen Zhuo's arrangement made sense, after all, he had personally killed the false god.

Thinking of this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Before we go up the mountain, we have one more thing to do."

Shen Huo told everyone how he helped Huang Cai's wife solve the snake cub just now, and his own discovery.

Meng Jingtong murmured, "The snake demon is resentful."

"So we're going to look at the source of the village's drinking water, maybe we'll find something unexpected."
