The woman chatted with Ji Xueting for a while, seeing that he was handsome, well-behaved, and had a lot of love for her "Madam" in her words, she gradually let go of her suspicions and her expression became gentle.

"Oh, young master, you are really serious. You said you have no bad intentions, but you and your friend scared me to death just now!"

She complained a few half-truths, and Ji Xueting apologized again and again, and the atmosphere between the two gradually became harmonious.Ji Xueting originally thought that it would be a matter of course for him to come forward and have a good conversation with the woman, and buying the talisman in the other's hand should be a matter of course, but he didn't expect to hit a snag in the end.

Facing Ji Xueting's pleading and the small bag of money that he brought out, the woman hesitated again and again, but finally shook her head.

"You said, your family just moved to Yongzhou? No wonder you don't know anything." The woman shook her head and said, "You have a good vision as a foreigner, but I really can't give you the amulet in my hand."

The woman sighed, looked up at Ji Xueting, and quickly explained: "Oh, I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose, it's our Yongzhou, which is different from other places. Since you call me sister, I Let me tell you, lest you be so reckless in the future—as long as you are still in Yongzhou, no matter how hard you ask, no one will be willing to sell you the amulet at hand. This thing is really a rare treasure, we Trapped in this Yongzhou, it's not like rich people like you can walk outside, and the girls at home can only count on it to protect..."

Seeing her chatterbox, Ji Xueting hastily talked with her for a while, and calmly explained the whole story.

It turns out that since a hundred years ago, all the temples in Yongzhou have been burned because of the demons in the temple.

But in this way, although there will be no more monsters, the women in Yongzhou are in a dilemma-after they become pregnant, they will no longer have the blessing of the gods to assist in childbirth.

However, these years, because of the chaos of the spirit veins and the hardships of the common people, no one would move the whole family outside for the sake of the safety of the women at home.

In the end, after the women of Yongzhou conceived their children, they had no choice but to gamble on their luck to see who would survive.

Fortunately, before the burning of the Niangniang Temple, someone sneaked into the Niangniang Temple, cut out all the beams and columns made of high-quality wood in the temple, and hid them in his own home.The man originally wanted to use these woods to make some furniture and other things to sell to support his family, but he didn't realize that the woods in the temple of the empress had other magical powers, and it was very effective to carve them into talismans for miscarriage and midwifery.

Later, this matter spread in private, and naturally all the wood cut by that person was made into this kind of olive-shaped wooden beads and sold to folk women for miscarriage use.

It's just that in the final analysis, no one thought of this before the Niangniang Temple was burned.The wood that was stolen was not much, and the talisman that was made, even if anyone was lucky enough to get it, was just one.For a hundred years, anyone who has this talisman at home will only secretly pass it on to the daughter-in-law they really like, or when they give birth to a daughter, so that these poor women can at least have a smooth delivery.

"I see that you are well-dressed, young man, and your family should be very rich, so you'd better go outside and ask. Anyway, this one in my hand is reserved for my daughter-in-law. It really can't be sold go out."

the woman explained.

Her remarks were indeed reasonable, but the more Ji Xueting listened to the matter, the more she felt that it was very strange: There would never be such a coincidence in the world that someone burned the Empress Temple in the front foot, and then someone had a whim in the back foot, and put the temple in the Empress Temple. The wood was carved into amulets and secretly sold to the people in the city.

The smile on Ji Xueting's lips remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened slightly.

During the Blood River Festival that day, they did see many shadowy figures with hazy figures in that weird mountain village.At that time, Ji Xueting realized that there would never be so many "people" in such a remote and ferocious place.

Now when it matches what this woman said, Ji Xueting understands it immediately.I'm afraid that the eyeless ghost thought of such methods to attach itself to the amulets made of wood after the empress temple that he caused trouble was burned, and then slowly parasitized these innocent people.

In this way, as long as it is willing, it can even use the talisman as a medium to manipulate the people in the city to lure innocent people into the secluded mountains to kill them or give birth to ghost flesh for it.

Thinking of this, Ji Xueting's heart sank.

Of course, the more serious he was in his heart, the more sincere his expression on the surface.

Seeing that the woman was really unwilling to sell the amulet to him, he didn't force it, but made a look of distress and embarrassment, and sighed.

"Since this item is necessary in this elder sister's family, I am naturally not good at taking it. It is nothing more than... poor wife."

Ji Xueting has always been good at acting, when he mentions the non-existent wife, his eyes are like spring water.

"She is delicate by nature. She was frightened a few years ago, and her spirits were not very good. Afterwards, she tended to think too much, and she was a temperament that easily hid things in her heart. Now I have been struggling with her for many years, and finally got pregnant with a child. But she is worried all day long, and has trouble sleeping and eating. I persuade her to be at ease, but she is afraid that she may not do well here or there, which will hinder the fetus. We are new here, and life I don’t know the place well, and I can’t find anyone to persuade her. I haven’t seen her happy for many days, and when she is sad, my heart hurts. Seeing this talisman today, I feel that it should be It's useful, I thought I could find a way to make her feel more at ease and have a baby, but now, oh..."

Speaking of this, Ji Xueting used his skills to force a blush from the corner of his eyes, making him look even more pitiful.

Even though he knew that Ji Xueting was just lying, Tianqu saw Ji Xueting's side face at this moment, his heart was still slightly dull, and his whole body was filled with energy and blood. For a moment, he just wished he could rush forward and hug him In her arms, she told him that she would no longer worry about her random thoughts.

This is the case in Tianqu, not to mention the unsuspecting woman who had already believed in Ji Xueting. When she saw the handsome young man in front of her so sad, she opened her mouth involuntarily.

"Sister, I've lived for so long, it's really rare to see such a devoted young man like you... Well, how about this, let me tell you a place——"

The woman's voice gradually dropped, and then she glanced left and right, then slowly came forward, leaned into Ji Xueting's ear and whispered, "Turn left at Cao's Lane on Liushupo in the east of the city, go inside, there is a gate at the door." That family in Dry Well, you go knock on the door and have a look. The old woman of the Wu family sold this at home a few years ago, if you are lucky when you go, you may be able to get some stock from her."

"Thank you sister! Thank you so much!"

When Ji Xueting heard that the family was also surnamed "Wu", he raised his eyebrows, but his face was full of joy, and he quickly thanked him.

After parting from the woman, Ji Xueting turned his head and looked at Tianqu, there was a trace of powder on the latter's cheeks, but Ji Xueting never cared about it.

"The Zhusheng dolls that were hung on your bodies before were also made by beams and pillars in the Empress Temple. That demon is a good talent who makes the best use of everything."

Ji Xueting murmured, and when the words fell, there was no further delay, and he immediately galloped towards Mrs. Wu's house that the woman had told them about with his sword in his hand.

Within a few breaths, Ji Xueting and Tianqu had arrived at the place.

If it hadn't been mentioned by someone, but just casually glanced at it, the Wu family looked like an ordinary family.

At this time, the sun was setting and smoke was everywhere, the door of the house was only half opened, and through the crack of the door, one could see a little tabby cat inside, flopping on the leaves on the ground boredly, having fun.

An old woman with a strong figure and a red face was sitting in the yard, with her hands dipped in the water basin to choose vegetables.

The kitten, the courtyard, the smoke from the kitchen, this small piece of world looks so peaceful.Then, the serenity was shattered by the "creak" of the door.

Ji Xueting walked slowly into the courtyard, Ling Cang sword was out of its sheath, aiming at the old woman in the courtyard.

With a "bang", the water basin fell, and the vegetable leaves fell to the ground.

Grandma Wu got up in a hurry and looked at the two in shock.

Tianqu's gaze silently swept around the courtyard, not even stopping at the old woman.When Ji Xueting drew his sword, he had already turned around, closed the courtyard door very virtuously for others, and placed a layer of restraint so that outsiders could no longer detect the scene in the courtyard.

"You are not dead...how come you are not dead..."

That woman, no, to be precise, it should be Grandma Wu, as if she had seen a ghost.

Her lips trembled, her complexion was pale, and she had long since lost the strange composure in the secluded mountains.While whispering, she took a few steps back, panic made her lifeless eyes almost fall out of their sockets.

"Unfortunately, my two friends and I are the kind of people who are difficult to kill. Grandma Wu is too worried."

As if Ji Xueting had never seen the fear of the person in front of him, he greeted Granny Wu with a smile instead.

"By the way, how is grandma doing well these days? I was grateful to you for taking care of me in the village before, and I haven't had time to thank you. I have been deeply disturbed. I just don't agree, and I'm afraid I will trouble Grandma Wu again today to explain something to me. Things really bother you."

While talking, Ji Xueting walked forward.

Grandma Wu didn't pay attention to him, she suddenly tore off the apron around her waist, and flung it towards Ji Xueting.

Immediately after her figure moved, the whole person wanted to jump to the side.

It's a pity that she just took a step and couldn't move anymore.

It turned out that many small black snakes suddenly appeared on the ground, and they had already unknowingly wrapped themselves around Grandma Wu's ankles, just like countless living ropes, tightly binding her to death in place.Sensing something was wrong, Grandma Wu looked down, and when she saw those black snakes, her face turned pale with fright and she screamed.

"Help me... I didn't do it on purpose, and I never thought of harming you. I did it just to survive..."

Ji Xueting glanced at the ferocious-looking old woman indifferently, he sighed, and pulled over the small bench that Granny Wu was sitting on when she was doing work before, and then sat down on the spot.

"Grandma Wu doesn't need to be so nervous, it makes me look like a bad person..." Ji Xueting smiled slightly, tapped his knee lightly with one hand, the smile on his handsome face was still so gentle.

However, the more he was like this, the more indescribably terrifying he looked.

And behind him stood a white-haired man with a cold expression and a gloomy breath. The snakes rustled under the man's figure, which was very terrifying.In fact, if an outsider who has nothing to do with him sees the scene in the courtyard here, he may not hesitate to think that Ji Xueting is the real evildoer.

Seeing that Grandma Wu was agitated, Ji Xueting squinted her eyes, and added: "Speaking of which, Grandma, you are an out-and-out villain. Well, it's also fortunate that I am an innocent man, and I suffered from the previous That incident would not be too tragic. But if I were a woman who walked around the secluded mountains, participated in your Blood River Festival, and then became pregnant inexplicably, and my body was not innocent, what would happen after that? manage?"

Hearing the word "not innocent", Tianqu suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ji Xueting.

Sensing that extraordinarily strong gaze, the corners of Ji Xueting's mouth froze, and he cursed inwardly why he spoke so fast, and quickly turned back to the topic.

"Forget it, I won't pursue the matter with you anymore, I just came here to ask you some small questions—" Ji Xueting stretched out three fingers to Grandma Wu, "First, who is the eyeless ghost? Second , where is it now? Third, what are you guys doing?"

"Ghost? What the hell? I, I don't know, I, I don't know anything..."

Upon hearing the words "eyeless ghost", Grandma Wu's face was already pale, and she looked even more frightened than when she found out that she was trapped by a black snake.

Looking at her appearance, Ji Xueting didn't show it on the face, but was troubled in his heart.When he was a casual cultivator before, he never minded using small tricks on people to get the answers he wanted from them.

But now he has already become a fairy, and according to the rules of heaven, his methods seem to violate the rules.

On his side, he was secretly thinking about the solution, while on the other side, Granny Wu's body was already covered with black snakes.

The group of snakes hissed, and the scarlet eyes of the snakes stared straight at the old woman. From time to time, snakes opened their mouths suddenly, revealing their fangs, as if they were about to bite off in a second.

Grandma Wu was so frightened that her two legs trembled, her wrinkled face was covered with cold sweat, she was about to faint from such direct fright, when a sigh came from beside her.

"You two immortals, don't embarrass her. She is just an ignorant old woman, and she really doesn't know anything."

While speaking, a small figure slowly walked out of the earthen house.

Ji Xueting raised his eyes, and just in time saw the handsome young man he saved from the monster that day stepped forward.

"Huh? Young master Wu Qing, so you are here too."

Ji Xueting turned his head sideways, looked at Wu Qing, and greeted with a smile.

The author has something to say: let's go, let's go, let's go to the plot~

================

By the way, I have to explain the plot of Tianqu's pregnancy.

Just ...

My cute pregnancy is this special state of mind.

The crematorium + the ruthless way of receiving, the attack is also very clear in the world, knowing that I should obediently restrain myself and keep the etiquette and don't get entangled anymore, but because of the crazy self-knowledge that I am pregnant and then produce a series of uncontrollable behaviors, what is the susceptible period, What nesting behavior, what irresistible want to stick.

But I really don't like to worry about who is pregnant and who is pregnant in the pregnancy plot. What should I do when the child is born... This kind of point is a bit too realistic and exciting.

Moreover, the snake eggs in Tianqu's stomach are not "children" in the true sense, so there will be no literature about bringing babies (although I really want to set up suspense, but depending on the situation, there is no way to set up suspense, so I can only explain it directly).

Probably that's it.
