Chapter 10 The moment the white deer became possessed by the devil
It doesn't know when it appeared in this world.
At first, it was very small, like dust, and it rolled in the mud every day, feeling quite comfortable.
Later, a strong wind came and blew it onto a mountain. It didn't know where it was, but it knew that it was very cold.
But for some reason, it grew a little bigger, like a button.
There are all kinds of monsters in the mountains. It dares not show up and lives in hiding, making its life very hard.
It missed the mud pit, so it wandered in the mountains every day, looking for a way to escape from there.
It burrows around like a bug, or perhaps it is a bug itself, longing to one day get out of the mountain and leave this cold crevice.
Suddenly one day, it drilled into a huge cave. The cave was extremely cold and had a large window. A man was standing in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside the mountain.
Just as it was about to retreat, the man seemed to sense something and tilted his face slightly. The moment it saw his profile, its body froze and it could no longer move.
Later, it thought that that moment was the beginning of its obsession.

It was not difficult for Xu Xingxing to change the pulse slightly.
The female doctor took the girl's pulse for a long time, then finally showed an embarrassed look on her face, shook her head, and said to the person standing beside her, "Village leader, please send someone to send this girl back tomorrow. Her condition is serious and she is incurable. There is no medicine to cure her."
...It's gone too far.
Qi Danxuan, who was waiting by the bed, immediately threw himself on Xu Xingxing and burst into tears, appearing to be completely absorbed in the drama. "The doctor said just a few days ago that as long as she rested well, she would be fine. It's all your fault for scaring my sister and making her condition worse. Aren't you murderers afraid of divine retribution?"
The village chief also looked quite anxious. He shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? You must cure her today. If you can't, you will die!"
What kind of overbearing CEO quotes are these?
The doctor looked at him seriously and said, "I can prescribe a prescription to delay the onset of her pain, but I simply cannot cure this disease. If you don't believe me, please seek help from someone else."
The village chief was furious. He reached out to strike, but then reluctantly let his hand drop. After venting his anger for a few times, he slapped the man who brought the two girls back on the head and said, "Meng Gouzi, do you have eyes? There are sick girls in the caravan, why are you trying to steal them?"
After saying that, he hit Meng Gouzi on the head several times viciously.
Meng Gouzi rubbed his head, feeling aggrieved. "I don't know. I can't ask if anyone is sick before robbing them."
"Ask what's wrong! Ask what's wrong!" The village chief slapped me mercilessly. "Look at the mess you've made! If anything happens to Chuxue, I'll hold you accountable!"
The doctor said calmly, "If you really want to help Chuxue, you should disband this village. Even if you cure this girl today, you may not be able to prevent it tomorrow."
The village chief instantly became dejected, squatting down with his hands on his head. "But, I promised my father..."
"I won't make a decision for you on this matter, but I will remind you that if this girl dies in the village today, the first snow will not be here long." After the doctor said this, he picked up the medicine box and left.
Meng Gouzi also hurriedly followed and left, leaving the village chief squatting on the ground alone and grieving.
"Um..." Qi Danxuan had stopped crying long ago. Looking at the village chief lying on the ground, he asked weakly, "Who is Chuxue?"
The village chief spoke with a slightly nasal voice, as if he was crying: "My brother."
"What does your sister's life or death have to do with your brother?"
The village chief wiped his tears, stood up and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business."
He was about to leave the room when he heard the woman on the bed coughing and waking up. She looked confused and asked, "Where am I?"
Qi Danxuan took over the role very smoothly. She pretended to be caring, helped Xu Xingxing up, and repeated the doctor's words with tears in her eyes.
Xu Xingxing feigned tears after hearing this: "It's a shame that my technique for healing spirit beasts hasn't been passed down to anyone..."
If she guessed correctly, the first snow was most likely related to the spirit beast.
The village chief's eyes lit up after hearing this, but he was still a little wary. "Healing spirit beasts? Who are you? Who is your teacher?"
"I am a disciple of Kunlun Yue Baiyin, but I cannot practice Taoism due to my weak physique. My master saw that I had some talent, so he asked me to follow him to learn the techniques of healing spirit beasts, and also to do good deeds and prolong my life..." Xu Xingxing coughed from time to time and spoke intermittently.
Before Yue Baiyin became an immortal, he was a veterinarian. Later, he was inspired by someone and joined the Beast Taming Sect. However, whenever he had free time, he would still go to the human world to provide free medical services. Not to mention spiritual beasts, he would also diagnose ordinary livestock in detail without any perfunctoriness.
Therefore, he should be somewhat famous in this world.
The village chief was skeptical: "Didn't Immortal Yue pass away in the great battle against demons?"
It is not surprising to have such an idea. Tao Fuzhong, who practiced Taoism in Kunlun, also thought so. After all, not everyone can survive alone in the deep mountains and dense forests for thirty years.
“No.”
Xu Xingxing took out a wooden sign from the package. It was very worn and covered with dirt. She washed it for a long time but the dirt didn't come off. If she didn't want to use it this time, she wouldn't even want to bring it with her.
Yue Baiyin felt that he had to give his disciple a gift, so he searched his entire body but only found this wooden plaque. He felt very sorry at the time and said that this thing had been with him for more than 500 years and was something he had carried with him before entering Kunlun, so he asked her to cherish it.
Xu Xingxing looked at the wooden sign, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After several refusals, Yue Baiyin became angry and said that it was okay if she didn't want it, so just throw it away.
She accepted it with great reluctance.
The village chief's pupils shrank when he saw the object. He grabbed the wooden sign and began to examine it again and again. His expression became increasingly agitated, and tears welled up in his eyes. Just as Xu Xingxing was about to ask, he fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead on the ground, and cried out, "Please, fairy, save Chuxue!"
Only then did Xu Xingxing learn the truth from him.
His name is Luo Zisheng. His father, Luo Wuzhou, was the former leader of this mountain stronghold. During the great war against demons, countless lives were lost. In order to avoid the chaos of war, his father led the entire village to move to this mountain.
At first, the villagers made a living by hunting. There were many animals in the forest, which was enough to fill their stomachs.
When he was young, he followed his father to the forest to hunt. Due to a sudden rainstorm, he was separated from the team. He wandered in the forest for two days but could not find the village. Later, he was attacked by wild beasts in the mountains. When he was about to die, a white deer appeared and brought him back.
Later, the white deer was revered as a sacred animal by the village.
Hunting does not bring wealth every day. Not only are they tiring to run around, but they also have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. The people in the village gradually began to think about robbing, and later they persuaded their father and really started to become bandits.
Just like when they go out hunting, they will kneel down and pray to the white deer for protection when they set out.
The first time they robbed someone, my father and his men returned with a full load. That night they set up a big pot, ate meat and drank wine, and had a great time.
It was also from then on that Bai Lu's health began to deteriorate.
After his father's death, he took over his father's position. Although he reduced his evil deeds, he still could not alleviate the white deer's pain.
In recent years, Bai Lu's health has become extremely weak, and he has no way to help.
After Luo Zisheng finished speaking, he was already in tears.
Xu Xingxing just wanted to see the white deer as soon as possible, but she had to act her part, so she pretended to stand up, her face full of reluctance: "Quick, take me there!"
Luo Zisheng led them out through the back door and up along a small path.
Soon, the trail disappeared and they walked deeper into the forest. Luo Zisheng cleared the way in front, and she and Qi Danxuan followed behind.
They didn't know how long they walked in the dense forest. When Qi Danxuan kept complaining about being tired, their eyes finally opened up. A fresh breeze filled their noses, and in front of them was a lake, shimmering in the moonlight.
He took out a piccolo and blew gently.
The wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the ethereal sound of the flute spread out like ripples.
Xu Xingxing waited quietly, but even after the flute music faded away, the white deer did not appear.
Luo Zisheng's face was filled with panic as he murmured, "Impossible, impossible."
The jungle on the opposite shore of the lake shook a few times, and the three of them immediately held their breath.
I saw a man walking out slowly, his face transitioning from the darkness to the moonlight, with a faint red light appearing in his eyes, like a night elf stepping into the human world.
It’s Xiao Hei.
