The Witch of Comprehensive Network: From Azeroth to the Classic of Mountains and Seas

Chapter 157 In Wushan, Wu Kui Gets the Pearl (Two more!)
Wushan
After the heavy rain, there was a lot of fog on the mountain.

Wu Kui walked on the muddy mountain road, the slippery and steep mountain road looming in the mist.

After a while, the road below was completely invisible.

It was as if she was deep in the clouds at the moment.

In the daze, only the big sun above the head is shining brightly and releasing colorful halos.

Wu Kui wiped the sweat off her face.

Although at this moment, there is some kind of agile and explosive power circulating in her body.

But they are too faint.

It's not enough now to change Wu Kui's physique.

Of course, after all, it is the body that often travels and climbs mountains.

Although it was quite difficult, Wu Kui barely climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath.

The fog is thicker here.

It was as if the clouds from the sky fell down, forming a long white rainbow between the mountains.

And now, she is in it...

"Snapped……"

As she walked, Wu Kui felt her feet go soft, as if she had stepped on something.

She lowered her head, then slowly moved her feet away:

There was a sinuous body there, now covered with filth.

Wu Kui was lost in thought.

This is the tenth snake corpse she has found since going up the mountain.

In addition to this, there are many remains of bugs.

Obviously, not long ago, something special happened here.

And as she got deeper into the mountains, she felt more and more something that made her breathless.

It was as if, in the clouds and mist, there was some kind of terrifying, indescribably huge thing, quietly staring at him.

This weird illusion made Wu Kui become extra careful.

She didn't move forward in a hurry, but carefully sorted out her appearance.

Then, he hung the student ID card on his chest, and put the side with the name in a prominent position...

This trip was entirely due to something that even Wu Kui couldn't explain.

She didn't even make a fuss.

Because if she didn't guess wrong, she knew who it might be...

The words of the old man in Mushroom Illusion are still vivid in his memory.

"Boom...boom..."

Wu Kui's heart began to beat continuously.

This is a very normal thing - but if every beat can be clearly heard, then the normal thing will seem a little weird.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Wu Kui felt her body trembling slightly.

Was it an instinctive trembling or...excitement?
It's like a reunion of flesh and blood after decades.

Caught off guard, their eyes met, and they burst into tears.

This is the bitter romance in the world.

But it is obviously not this that is surging in Wu Kui's chest at the moment.

"witch……"

Oddly enough, Wu Kui shouted in the fog.

From the inaudible murmur to a roar that gradually loses its composure.

Some kind of invisible power surged rapidly in Wu Kui's body.

Then, when it is about to reach a certain level, a certain limit point, it stops abruptly.

Suddenly, Wu Kui heard whispers in the wind:

"After the self, there is no witch..."

At this moment, someone called Wu Kui in the fog.

Wu Kui froze for a moment, and the trance whispers in her ears disappeared.

The power in the body that seemed to be about to fall into chaos also fell silent.

"Baby, come here, don't fall down."

Wu Kui followed the call and walked over, and she saw a thin but hale old man standing on the ridge where the farmers went out.

Wu Kui opened her mouth, and was about to ask something, but was interrupted by the other party:
"Go to the house to warm up, Mo Dong has a cold."

Wu Kui nodded immediately, she felt that the old man was not a bad person.

Moreover, the mana in her body was barely enough to be activated once.

Dealing with those legendary things is naturally not worth mentioning.

But if it is an ordinary person, it may not be much better than a full load of electric batons.

It's just that one is material harm, and the other may be more spiritual.

Through the fog, the two came to an adobe brick house.

"The tiles were damaged by the wind. I will repair them after a few days."

Once you enter the door, you can hear the sound of ticking water.

Wu Kui glanced at the plastic buckets half filled with water placed in the corner, and the old man next to him explained.

"You're here to recognize your ancestors, right?"

Firewood was lit in the back room. After the two sat down, the old man glanced at the student ID card on Wu Kui's chest, and then asked.

"I'm not talking about genealogy..."

Seeing Wu Kui froze, the old man added another sentence.

"My guest used to be a witch. I haven't told the junior about this, for fear of repercussions."

"She passed away early. I remember she suffered from cancer when she was 53 years old. She passed away the next year. She hasn't eaten the food made by her granddaughter-in-law."

"As soon as she leaves, we won't have a few serious witches here."

"I followed her and learned some things here and there. Those who are still running witches can't figure it out, and they still come to ask me."

The old man stirred the firewood, making the room brighter.

Then, with a sigh, he told his story.

Wu Kui was listening, she obviously had a lot of doubts in her heart.

But at this time, it is obviously not suitable to interrupt the other party.

She just listened, silently thinking about the meaning of the other party's words.

"I didn't really want to live here. I'm getting older, and picking things up and down the mountain is not like before."

"But people always have to have a thought."

"I have lived here for decades, and I will stay here longer after I die."

The old man took out a bong, put it on the side of the firewood and roasted it, and then took a deep puff:
"I know what you're here for."

"You are late, he is gone..."

The old man groped for a long time, then handed Wu Kui a bead.

Wu Kui looked at it, some of them looked like plastic beads used for decoration on clothes.

Wu Kui took it subconsciously.

Then for a moment, like an electric shock, her fingers suddenly retracted.

A strong palpitation made her short of breath for a moment.

The magic power of lightning flashing in his body seemed a little restless.

Between the crackling and crackling, Wu Kui felt a little numb.

then:

It turned around whistling, and after Wu Kui touched the finger of the bead, it fell into silence honestly...

Seeing Wu Kui's abnormal state, the old man sighed with some relief, but also some depression:
"You're a good kid, not like the one in my house."

Then he slowly wrapped the beads in a cloth:

"There's only this left, and it can't be burned. He still misses us descendants."

"I burned all the others, and scattered the ashes..."

"I used to have cancer too, but He asked Diha to spare half my life."

"I'm going to keep him safe."

The old man took the wrapped beads to Wu Kui again:
"I kept this thing because I was afraid that I would think about it, and if I lost my mind, I would embarrass my ancestors."

"You will become a climate in the future. Go back to the mountains and become a witch. Don't forget to call my name."

Wu Kui hesitated for a while, then took it.

This time, perhaps through the cloth, she didn't feel anything strange.

"I... I don't know witchcraft."

Wu Kui hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth.

"You definitely won't, and if you do, He won't leave either."

"But your surname is Wu, and you got his beads, so you always have to come back to worship your ancestors."

"Just pick me up when the time comes."

"Witches are not magic, baby."

The old man looked at Wu Kui and said...
