The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 168 Long-cherished wish (Part [-])
It was still grandpa who had sharp eyesight, saw a ghost wanting to pounce on Xia Xiangxi, snatched the peach branch from the fifth master, and just slapped the ghost that jumped out of the head, and the ghost let out an "ouch" in pain and shrank back.Xia Xiangxi didn't dare to be negligent any longer, and pasted the yellow talisman on the ghost gate, completely sealing the world.

Little false alarm!
It was also because of this night that Grandpa realized that Xia Xiangxi didn't even have a magic weapon to cast down ghosts.If you encounter a ghost or a zombie attacking head-on, you can't do it without a blocking weapon.

The peach wood sword that Xia Xiangxi has been using since then is because of what happened that night, grandpa cut off a thick branch from the peach tree in front of her, and made a peach wood sword for Xia Xiangxi himself.

When he cut off the peach branch from the tree, Xia Xiangxi saw with his own eyes that red juice flowed from the cut.

Grandpa said that the peach tree is not an ordinary peach tree. Don’t look at it as a small tree now. It doesn’t look too thick. Its roots have been planted very deep in the ground. Because of this, it is most afraid of touching trees. Because of the cold air, it is not as luxuriant as other peach trees.

If Xia Xiangxi used his own explanation, it would be much simpler.This peach tree has become fine!It is also for this reason that Xia Xiangxi's mahogany sword is not as powerful as ordinary mahogany swords!

Anyway, the night went well.Grandpa heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw that the ghosts attached to the zombies had already entered the ghost gate.Fifth Master also felt relieved, and sat down on the ground.It doesn't matter if there are some stones or something on the ground!

Grandpa glanced at Fifth Master, but his reaction was strange. He sighed again, but there seemed to be a lot of sadness in this sound.

Grandpa said that Fifth Master has been burdened with protecting these zombies all these years, and now that he is finally sending the Buddha to the West, he can also rest well.Then he said to Xia Xiangxi, "Call that girl Shi over here!"

Xia Xiangxi nodded, and went to call Shi Wei and Ma Po over.

When the three of them got close, they all smelled a very disgusting rancid smell.Xia Xiangxi didn't think it was surprising, because there were so many zombies over there?At first, the exorcists used spells to hook the souls of the corpses to be expelled, and used spells to suppress them in their respective corpses. Those zombies were sprinkled with special herbs from Xiangxi, which can keep the corpses from decomposing. Now those corpses are suppressed The souls inside are gone, and those dead bodies that have passed by for an unknown number of years have returned to the rhythm of natural decay, and they stink unanimously.

What surprised Xia Xiangxi was the fifth master. At this time, he saw his grandfather guarding the fifth master and slowly putting the fifth master on the ground. During this period, the fifth master remained motionless, as if he was dead!

In fact, Xia Xiangxi was right in guessing that the fifth master was indeed dead.To be exact, Fifth Master actually died a long time ago, and he has been dead for many years!
After Grandpa said this, Shi Wei first cried out in surprise, she didn't believe it!
Xia Xiangxi believed what his grandfather said.This is not because she has always been the well-behaved granddaughter of Grandpa, but because she already felt strange and suspicious when she met Fifth Master at noon today, so Xia Xiangxi was shocked when Grandpa said these words now. But it was not as shocking as Shi Wei.She just felt that she had finally found the answer to the mystery in her heart.

The fifth master has no shadow, only the dead have no shadow!It's just that Xia Xiangxi doesn't know why the fifth master can have the breath of a living person?
Grandpa didn't answer Xia Xiangxi's questions at this time, and he was still very taboo to say these things.After a long time, Xia Xiangxi found the answer by herself, but it still didn't come from her grandfather's mouth, but she found the answer from her grandfather...

Grandpa has a long story to say to Shi Wei for Fifth Master.There is no time to say it right now.One is that the smell of those corpses is really too bad, even if they hid far away, the putrid smell was still soaked in from them, no one could stand it, so they had to go back and change their clothes, Wash yourself off.The other is the simplest reason, they are all tired!

Grandpa was afraid that those corpses would attract wild dogs and domestic dogs again, and gnawed these corpses. One was disrespectful to the dead, and the other was that the mouths of those dogs were already dirty, and they ate these corpses covered in corpse poison. The corpse was also infected with corpse poison. If someone was bitten, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What Xia Xiangxi was worried about was that there were so many dead bodies lying here, if word got out, it would cause big trouble.After all, now is a society ruled by law, so many dead bodies appear in the mountains overnight, so it goes without saying how much shock the society and the police will cause.

As for Shi Wei, don't care how much hatred she has with Fifth Master, since she is dead, she has no fulcrum for hatred.The dead are the most important, and she doesn't need to embarrass a dead body. She hid aside and cried for a while, and comforted the souls of her grandfather and father under Jiuquan, and wiped away her tears to open the knot in her heart. .

So everyone had the same idea, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei, two young people, went around to find branches, put them on the corpses, and burned them all with a fire.

Because those corpses were rotting corpses, they were easy to burn.Branches are also extremely easy to find. There is no shortage of firewood in the mountains!
A big fire burned all those carrion corpses.Grandpa put Wu Ye's body aside and burned it alone, and he wanted to leave Wu Ye's complete ashes.

Before dawn, Xia Xiangxi and Shi Wei rushed back here early, collected the ashes on the ground, carried them to a nearby hillside and buried them.Fifth Master's ashes were collected separately and placed in the columbarium.Xia Xiangxi wanted to take it back for grandpa.

Grandpa meant to bring Fifth Master's ashes back to the north, and Ye Luo returned to his roots!
These are not important, so there is no need to elaborate!
After all the cooking was done, Grandpa was in the mood to sit down with Xia Xiangxi, Yi Shi Wei, and talk about Fifth Master to the two girls!

It turned out that at the grass house, the fifth master told all the grievances and grievances between him and the Shi family over the years.

Grandpa repeatedly said that Lord Wu had died a long time ago. He had been dead for many years. The reason why he was still alive and why Shi Wei's grandfather was wronged before was just one of two things. The reason, that is the responsibility!
This matter goes back to before liberation.It starts from the moment Fifth Master was rescued by Shi Wei's grandfather.

After being kicked out of the school by Xia Xiangxi's grandfather, the fifth master was angry and wanted to leave the north far away. As a result, he encountered a war not long after he arrived in the south. Unfortunately, he was shot and almost saw him Hades.It was Shi Wei's grandfather who met Fifth Master covered in blood in the grass ditch when he was fleeing. Hearing his painful cries, he kindly rescued Fifth Master.

It was a time of war, and people were very lucky to be alive, so don't expect to have a full stomach and money to see a doctor!

Shi Wei's grandfather was also poor, and those who fled, naturally couldn't afford to spend money to treat Fifth Master's injuries.But if you have saved someone, you can't just watch that person die.Grandpa Shi Wei knew some native methods of healing, so he picked herbs from the mountain. The bullet on Fifth Master's shoulder was the result of Grandpa Shi Wei's heart breaking, his teeth biting, and after the red-hot dagger was sterilized, he helped Fifth Master with his own hands. The Lord pulled the bullet out of the wound.

Anyway, because of Grandpa Shi Wei, Fifth Master took his life and escaped from Lord Yan's hands.
