Chapter 771 Is it an enemy or a friend?
I was silent for a while before saying to Wu Lin: "This is not a plague, it is a man-made disaster."
A expression finally appeared on Wu Lin's face. He frowned and asked me, "What does it mean?"
I said, "Someone has refined the villagers here into evil corpses, and the corpse refiner is still hiding at the treasure top."
I can now be sure that neither Wu Lin nor Tusi are corpse refiners. They have no residual mental power on them, and are not people in the cultivation circle. Although Cidan Dawu has a little mental power on him, he is very weak. With his cultivation, it is impossible to control the mountain god.
When it comes to corpse refining, everyone in this room is innocent.
Wu Lin asked me again: "Are you a warlock?"
I nodded: "That's right."
Wu Lin was silent for a while before speaking again: "The Great Witch of Cidan firmly believed that this was a plague. He believed that Waa's act of killing the mountain god caused the revenge of the mountain god, which caused the entire village to suffer. If you tell him that this was a man-made disaster, he might drive you out of the village."
I stared into Wu Lin's eyes and after a while, I said to him: "Then tell him that I can end this plague."
Wu Lin and Cidan Dawu had a brief conversation and said to me: "The Dawu asked you how long it will take to end the plague, and can those who are sick recover?"
Speaking of this, Wu Lin paused for a moment, then added: "Can those possessed by demons return to normal?"
I said: "At most half a month, people who have become evil corpses cannot recover, but no more people will become evil corpses."
Wu Lin turned his expressionless face to the Great Witch of Cidan. After a brief exchange, he said to me: "The Great Witch said, he hopes that you can save this village. After the matter is done, the toast and the people in the village will repay you."
After saying these words, he rubbed his shoulders and walked towards the Great Witch of Cidan.
The Great Wizard of Cidan didn't see the chieftain lying on the ground just now because Wu Lin stood between him and the chieftain and blocked his sight. Now the original position where Wu Lin left, the Great Wizard of Cidan saw the chieftain at a glance and screamed in surprise.
Although I can't understand what he said, I can probably guess what he is calling.
While shouting, the witch of Cidan quickly ran to the toast. He squatted down, tried the toast's breath, and said something to Wu Lin with an anxious look on his face.
Wu Lin walked to the toast and tried to snort with one hand, while holding the toast's head with the other hand, pressing the index finger and thumb on the Baiwei acupoint in the center of the top of the toast's head.
While the Great Witch was talking to him, I noticed that his wrists trembled quickly, and the tendons on the back of his hand also trembled quickly.
I have practiced my skills since I was a child. Just by looking at the level of his strength, I knew that he was pressing hard on the Baili acupoint of Toast. With his strength, the Toast would not wake up for an hour.
He is helping us.
At this time, he said something to the great witch of Cidan again. The great witch of Cidan stopped shouting, but just looked at the toast with his eyes, his eyes full of deep concern.
After a while, Wu Lin asked me again: "Did Mindu invite you to come? Why did you attack the toast?"
These words must not be conveying the meaning of Cidan's great witch, Wu Lin expressed his doubts.
I said, "It was not Mindu who invited us. Some time ago, one of my elders calculated that there would be a disaster in the Xiaotian Mountains. I was looking to see what happened."
Wu Lin nodded and asked me again: "Why do you attack the toast?"
I looked into his eyes and asked back, "Why don't you want him to wake up?"
Wu Lin looked at me expressionlessly without saying a word. His eyes were very bright, as if he wanted to see through my eyes what was thinking in my mind.
Unfortunately, he is not Taoist Chen, and I am not the ignorant boy who can easily be seen through at first sight. He and I just looked at each other like this. He couldn't see through my thoughts, but I probably knew what he was thinking.
His views on the toast should be very similar to mine. He didn't want the toast to wake up, and he was fed up with the toast's persistence in power and his indifference to innocent lives.
I smiled at him and said, "I brought the survivors from Rhino Spring here. If the toast is still awake, they will not be able to enter the Baoding smoothly."
A complex light flashed in Wu Lin's eyes. He nodded first, and then asked again: "But even if the toast is unconscious, they cannot come in. As early as a month ago, the toast issued a death order. Any survivor who cannot put Rhino Spring into Baoding, he believed that those survivors were covered with plague. In this place, no one would disobey the toast's orders."
I said, "It was the toast who ordered Mindou to bring the survivors there back to Baoding."
Wu Lin looked at the toast: "His order? It's impossible. In his eyes, the blood on the civilians is dirty, and he can't have such kindness."
I said, "He will not be kind, but the Buddha will. Haven't you discovered that the chieftain is noble because the villagers think that he is the spokesperson of the Buddha in the world."
Wu Lin shook his head: "The doctrines of Buddhism circulating in their village have long been tampered with by the chieftains of all generations. The old man around me is the great witch in the village. If the Buddhism here is authentic, why would there be great witches around the chieftains? They mixed Buddhism with traditional shamanism, with the purpose of controlling the common people and making them think that the rights of the chieftains were given by God."
I said: "Fortunately, the villagers all know the four words "Equality of all beings". With the current state of the chieftain, he can no longer take into account the affairs of the village. Mindou will temporarily lead the villagers in his name."
I also want to see Wu Lin’s reaction. If he does not support sensitivity, things may be a little troublesome.
But Wu Lin's reaction made me a little confused. He glanced at the witch of the Dian, and then focused on the toast, as if he was intentionally ignoring what I just said.
What I worry most now is that after Mind comes in, the witch of Cidan will not agree to him leading the villagers and will seize power from him.
Maybe Cidan Dawu is a good man, but he is too old and his mind is too old to take on the responsibility of leading the villagers.
At this moment, the great witch of Cidan said a few words to Wu Lin, then turned around and looked at me.
Wu Lin also said to me: "The witch of Cidan asked you if you can try to get your sensitivity back. Now the chieftain can no longer exercise his rights. Only the erudite and talented sensitivity can lead the villagers."
Things seemed to go smoothly beyond imagination.
I said to Wu Lin: "Tell the big wizard that Mindu has brought dozens of villagers to Baoding. He brought the villagers back at the order of the chieftain."
Wu Lin passed on my words to the Great Wizard of Cidan, who frowned immediately, and his eyes became full of doubts when he looked at me.
He probably wouldn't believe that the toast would let Mind bring civilians to the top of the treasure.
I waited silently for the great witch to give his attitude. Now that the chieftain has been controlled, the great witch of the standan may still be a major obstacle for the villagers to enter the treasure top. If necessary, I will try to control him, but Wu Lin obviously has a good relationship with him. If I take action against him, Wu Lin may not sit idly by.
The witch of Cidan seemed to have figured out something. I saw a flash of undetectable cunning flashes in his eyes. After that, he said something to Wu Lin.
Wu Lin glanced at the chieftain again, and then said to me: "The great witch of Cidan said that the people from Baoding will follow the chieftain's orders, and all survivors can enter the high wall."
After conveying the meaning of Cidan's great witch, Wu Lin asked me again: "What are you planning to deal with the toast?"
I said, "Get house arrest."
Wu Lin was silent for a while, but finally nodded.
During his brief exchange, I had a very strange feeling. Even though I knew that he was standing by our side now, I still didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend. This person was hard to figure out. At the same time, I had a vague premonition that the reason why he helped us seemed to have other purposes.
I said to Wu Lin: "Let's stay and place the toasts. Please go out with the Cidan Dawu to welcome Mindou and those survivors. Without Cidan Dawu coming forward, they may be hindered when they come in."
Wu Lin nodded first and asked me again: "How did you two cross the high wall? Didn't the guards notice you?"
Liu Shangang responded behind me: "We also felt that the four guards were tired of guarding the wall day and night, so we let them have a beautiful sleep. Now we are probably about to wake up."
Wu Lin frowned and quickly said something to the great witch of Cidan. The great witch of Cidan immediately went up the stairs and came down again after a while. At this time, there was a gong in his hand and the hood was put on his head again.
When Wu Lin saw him coming down, he immediately pushed the door open and the witch of Cidan followed him out of the room.
Through the window, I saw Wu Lin running towards the high wall after leaving the door. His speed was faster than Liu Shangang, and his pace was lighter and there was almost no footsteps.
This person is far superior to me in terms of kung fu and physical fitness. I guess that even if Mr. Zhang fights him, he may not get much cheaper.
After Wu Lin left, the Great Witch of Cidan knocked on the street, and the doors of the houses were opened. After the villagers came out of the house, they quickly moved closer to the Great Witch of Cidan.
Liu Shangang leaned over the window and looked at me with some concern: "This witch in the silence will not betray us, he gathered so many people at once. If he asked these people to surround us, we probably wouldn't be able to escape today."
There were more than 300 people gathered in the streets outside, most of whom were strong young and middle-aged people. If the witch of Cidan wanted to siege us, even if these people had no skills, Liu Shangang and I would not be able to handle it.
But what I am most worried about now is not the three hundred middle-aged men, but the relationship between Cidan Dawu and Sindu. At present, no one can guarantee that Cidan Dawu, who is older, will not seize power from Sindu, even though he just took the initiative to let Sindu temporarily act as the chieftain.
I don’t know why, but I can’t trust Wu Lin and the witch in front of me.
After the Cidan Great Witch gathered the villagers, he started his speech. When Cidan Great Witch was giving a speech, I found that everyone's face looked thoughtful, without anger or excessive excitement. This is enough to show that Cidan Great Witch did not inspire them to attack me and Liu Shangang, and did not even mention the matter between me and Liu Shangang.
After that, Liu Shangang and I put our energy on the toast. We tied him up first and then transported him to the second floor. Before I found the corpse refiner, the toast could not leave the second floor, and Mindu and others could not come up to the second floor, including the Cidan Dawu.
Now, the chieftain has become a criminal suspect detained by me. Maybe he has nothing to do with the matter of refining a living zombie, but as a person who often has interactions with the outside world, he uses various means to prevent villagers from leaving the village. This is already an act of depriving others of their personal freedom. Moreover, he tampers with his doctrine, bewitching the villagers with superstition and evil sayings to deceive the villagers in order to gain personal benefits. In addition, he also deified himself. The religious system he distorted was completely in line with the definition of "cult organizations" in the criminal law.
