Grandma held Ah Chen's hand tightly.
If it weren't for the saintess's secret technique that blocked our way today--
I didn't detect that terrifying sense of oppression in the saintess's aura.
The old woman had no idea that she had actually met the future Miao King and the current Holy Maiden of their Miao family.
She never imagined that the Miao King and the Holy Maiden would come to their Heipan Miao Village in the future.
...
"Grandma, it's alright! The Spirit Maiden is already handling this matter. I'll go check on it later."
"Good, good, it must be burned. No one can be spared."
The old woman's hatred was palpable.
Then--
She raised her hand to make a mental gesture, preparing to notify the entire village.
But seeing the state of the village, welcoming the future Miao king and holy maiden in this way was considered extremely disrespectful, so --
"Miao'er, look at this—"
"It's alright! Grandma, let's go straight to the chieftain's house. Do you have time to walk with Miao'er for a while?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's eyes reddened, and she pulled Ah Chen away.
On the way to the village chief's house, the old woman held Ah Chen's hand tightly, then returned the silver bead to Ah Chen, saying that he couldn't take it.
In response, Ah Chen told the old woman to take it back, but then asked what the two small tree roots were.
The old woman said, "Miao'er, feel it out and take a look."
Take it out and take a look?
Although Ah Chen didn't understand, he still took out the tree root.
But--
They were fresh a few before, but now they're all black.
Furthermore, black mist was emanating from the tree roots.
"this--"
Ah Chen was puzzled, but Ah Mo said that the talisman was probably used to ward off evil spirits because it had been corrupted by the evil energy from the cave earlier, which was why it was in this state.
The old woman nodded. "The Holy Maiden is right. Running around in this area is dangerous. With this, things will be much better."
"So it's useless now?" Ah Chen asked.
"It's no use, throw it away, Miao'er. With the Holy Maiden by your side, her medicine is much more effective than this old woman's."
…
Entering the Miao Village
It was still very difficult to see a single person; every household had their doors closed, and even if there were voices, they were very faint.
If an unsuspecting Han Chinese person were to enter in this situation, they would probably be terrified.
After all, this Miao village, hidden deep in the mountains, is both mysterious and eerie.
Along the way--
What Ah Chen saw was that every wooden house was dilapidated, and it seemed as if it would collapse if the wind were to blow it down.
The chieftain's house, on the other hand, was located in a relatively high position within the village.
Upon reaching this point, as Ah Chen turned around, he saw something in the courtyard of the house to his left—
This arrangement suggests that the girl had recently gotten married.
Judging from the direction of the red ribbon, it was actually towards the cave entrance.
"Amo--"
Ah Chen called softly, gesturing for Ah Mo to look—
Amo nodded in response to Achen; she had seen it too.
It was at this moment that the old woman knocked on the village chief's door several times.
"Thump thump... thump thump... thump..."
The rhythm of the knocking was strange; it seemed to be sending some kind of signal.
Sure enough, a moment later--
A muffled sound of the same rhythm echoed from inside the room before the door opened.
Today, the Heipan Miao Village has a legend of falling into a cave, so it retains many ancient customs and traditions.
Normally, it wouldn't be this creepy!
The old man who opened the door had a black headscarf wrapped around his head, dark and loose skin, and even his eye sockets were sunken.
The key is--
When Ah Chen turned around, he saw several long black worms behind him.
The worm was ferocious and terrifying, and it even showed its teeth.
This scene caused Amo Dai to furrow her brows slightly.
The old woman was muttering something to herself, and the long black worm seemed to have encountered some kind of nemesis, so it hurriedly scurried away.
Afterwards, the old woman whispered a few words to Old Man Miao.
Upon hearing this, Old Man Miao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly ran out of his house.
But just as he was about to approach Achen, Ahe and Li Ayin, who were standing on either side, immediately stepped forward.
"stop--"
Only after this drink did Old Man Miao realize that he had been impolite due to his excitement.
then--
He stopped abruptly, took a few steps back, and bowed to Ah Chen and Ah Mo.
"I was unaware of Ah Chen and the Holy Maiden's arrival, Chief of Black Pan Miao Village, my apologies!"
Ah Chen didn't speak, but instead turned his head to look at the chieftain's house.
The house was dilapidated, to put it mildly; after all, in these days deep in the mountains, what house was in good condition?
But how come there are so many insects in the chieftain's house?
Just as Ah Chen turned his head, an elderly woman came out of the house.
The old woman walked with a limp, was as thin as a skeleton, and seemed as if she would fall over if the wind blew her away.
The key point is that tiny insects were constantly wriggling in her hair.
A belt, not a cloth belt.
Instead, it was a long, black worm (snake), a dark, murky worm!
Serious!
"Old witch, what are you doing out here? Go back now and don't be so presumptuous in front of our Miao people's future Miao king and holy maiden."
The old woman who had knocked on the door earlier shouted.
The elderly woman glanced at Li Ayin and Jackal Ahe, and the two of them couldn't help but shiver.
"Both of you, step back!"
When Amo spoke, she held Achen's hand with her left hand and kept making finger gestures behind her back with her right hand.
It was also Ah Mo who made the move; the two gusts of yin wind seemed to collide right in front of Li Ayin and Ah He.
cough cough--
A moment later, the old witch by the door frame coughed violently.
With that cough, she exhaled several puffs of black mist, then bowed to Ah Mo before returning to the house.
"What's wrong?"
Ah Chen asked Ah Mo in a low voice, and after Ah Mo whispered in his ear, he was stunned for a moment.
