Urban Witcher

"Someone over there has already collected a dozen corpses, which are placed on the mountain. There is no way to transport them down, and the only way is to use the technique of exorcising corpses. So last night, the patriarch found me and wanted me to exorcise the corpses..."

Ye Shaoyang finally understood, and wondered: "Why you, don't you have any other wizards in your clan?"

"In the entire Eighteen Villages, only our family is a legal wizard. Every village has wizards, but most of them don't know how to exorcise corpses. Even if they can, they are not qualified to exorcise."

Mu Qingyu explained, "Wizards are also frightened and frightened among the Miao people. Ordinary wizards dare not admit that they are wizards, otherwise any strange things in the village can be blamed on him, and no one associates with him." , dare not eat his family's food.

Only us priests are legitimate wizards. My brother is not here, so this matter fell on me, but I don't know much about witchcraft, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it, so I want to ask you for help. "

Ye Shaoyang waved his hand, "You can catch ghosts, and you can kill zombies. If you want to drive away corpses, we Taoists don't have this spell."

Mu Qingyu said: "You don't need to rush, you just need to be my assistant, in case of emergencies such as corpse change, you can help me deal with it."

Ye Shaoyang nodded, this is no problem.

Seeing that he agreed, Mu Qingyu was very happy, and said: "You are a mage after all, and with your help, I will feel more at ease. The reward for this matter is not low, and we will be divided between the two."

"It's all yours," Ye Shaoyang smiled, "I still need to ask your brother for help in the future, so it's even."

Mu Qingyu went into a small room behind the house and began to pack her things.

This room is the only locked room after Mu Qingyu handed over the house to himself. It is in the innermost part of the house and has no windows, but a state-of-the-art anti-theft door is installed.

Ye Shaoyang guessed that there must be materials related to witchcraft, etc., and waited in the living room with interest, without any intention of approaching.

Half an hour later, Mu Qingyu came out with a hiking bag on his back and a large suitcase in his hand. Ye Shaoyang took the initiative to take the box, and it felt very heavy.

The two went out together. Just as they turned out of the alley, a car drove up. Baoka rolled down the window, glanced at the two of them, and said, "I'll see you off."

Mu Qingyu didn't say anything, opened the car door and went up. After Ye Shaoyang got in, the car started.

Baoka glanced at Ye Shaoyang through the rearview mirror, and said, "Mr. Ye can also do magic?"

"Understand a little bit."

"That's good. I'm afraid that no one will take care of my Qingyu. Thank you for your hard work."

The two said a few polite words in a neutral manner, but Mu Qingyu remained silent.

The car drove through the town and onto a mountain road. After a few minutes, it stopped in front of a river, and the mountain road ended here.

There is a pier by the river, and there is a big ferry boat driving on the river.

Several people were waiting on the pier.

After Baoka approached, several people came forward to say hello, their attitudes were very respectful.

Although there is a town government now, due to the remoteness of the town and the relative isolation of the Miao people, they basically trust the patriarch. Ye Shaoyang only found out after hearing what Mu Qingyu told him that the current mayor was actually Baoka's uncle...

"How could there be a river?" Ye Shaoyang wondered as he looked at the river, which was 100 meters wide.

"This is a mountain stream. During the high water season in summer, the river will be very wide."

Mu Qingyu explained to him that this road is not the main road, but leads to several villages deeper in the mountainous area. Usually, the driver detours from the main road, but now the road is covered by a landslide. If you want to enter the mountain, you have to It's time for a boat ride.

Baoka took out three bottles of purified water from the car and gave two bottles to Ye Shaoyang and the other two.

The food he ate in the morning was a little salty, Ye Shaoyang was a little thirsty, he unscrewed the lid to drink, the bag on Mu Qingyu's shoulder suddenly slipped and hit his hand, the pure water fell on the ground and spilled all over the floor.

"I still have some in the car." Baoka went back to the car to get water.

Mu Qingyu turned his head and glanced at Ye Shaoyang, who instantly understood.

Baoka brought another bottle of water and handed it to Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang held the bottle in his hand without even opening it.

Baoka watched from the side and smiled slightly.

When the boat came, Baoka said a few words of concern to Mu Qingyu, and Mu Qingyu agreed, and boarded the boat with Ye Shaoyang.

There were a dozen or so people on the boat, most of them were elderly people, and they were all Miao people. A few of them chatted with Mu Qingyu in Miao language, and glanced at Ye Shaoyang from time to time.

Afterwards, Mu Qingyu finished chatting and came to the bow of the boat with Ye Shaoyang to stand.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Shaoyang asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem with the water?"

"Being defensive is essential." Mu Qingyu said.

He actually said that about his boyfriend, Ye Shaoyang frowned and said, "Is he a wizard?"

"No, but there are not many wizards in his family, but they have no legal status and hide them."

Ye Shaoyang looked at the turbid river, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Qingyu, I feel that you two don't seem to have any feelings for each other. If you don't like him, why do you want to be his girlfriend?"

Mu Qingyu lowered her eyes, staring at the river, without making a sound.

"Sorry, I'm taking the liberty." Ye Shaoyang also felt that this question was a bit abrupt.

"We have been close since childhood." Mu Qingyu said lightly. "The patriarch and the priest's family must have a marriage."

"My mother strongly objected, but there was no other way. If we hadn't made this marriage at that time, our family would not have been able to stay in the town. All these years, we were taken care of by the patriarch's family until I became an adult,"

Ye Shaoyang was startled when he heard the words, never thought that things would be like this, hesitantly said: "Then why didn't your mother move away back then?"

"The priest's family cannot be childless, because they have to inherit. My mother always wanted to move out of the town in her dreams, but she couldn't. Of course there are other reasons."

Ye Shaoyang thought of her mother Tuomeng's request to him, and felt that he seemed to catch something.

At this moment, there was only a "plop", and everyone screamed.

Ye Shaoyang followed the prestige, and saw a person struggling in the water near the stern, a Miao girl, shouting for help.

Someone fell into the water!

The boat was still moving, and it had already pulled away a distance of more than ten meters.

Everyone gathered at the stern of the boat, and to Ye Shaoyang's surprise, no one wanted to rescue them!

Ye Shaoyang rushed over and was immediately held back by several people.

"What are you doing!" Someone asked in substandard Chinese.

"Save people, what are you doing!"

"Falling into the water from the boat is the sacrifice that the river god wants. Let the fate be, it cannot be saved!"

Two middle-aged and elderly people held him tightly. "Otherwise, the river god will be angered, and all of us in the boat will be in bad luck!"

Ye Shaoyang was shocked, indeed, there are such traditions in some places, especially in ethnic minority areas, but... Looking at the girl struggling for help in the river, how could he ignore it.

"Brother Shaoyang!"

Mu Qingyu shouted from behind.

"Are you going to stop me too?" Ye Shaoyang said coldly.

"Give me your phone or something! Be safe!"

Ye Shaoyang threw the phone and wallet to her, took off his shirt, shook his shoulders, shook off the two people who were holding him, and jumped into the turbulent current.
