(Today, the two chapters are updated together. The climax of the second volume will be soon, and the answer will be revealed immediately. Haha. Thank you for your support from mm half-face makeup and mm children's shoes.)

But after hearing Nian Yin's words, Xie Lin and Zhang Lang still stood there without moving.

"So what's wrong?" Nian Yin asked with a strange look on his face.

Zhang Lang scratched his head, his face still full of confusion: "Uncle Nian, you haven't told us why the big head drove us away? It seems that it has nothing to do with the strange disease you mentioned, right?"

"Stupid!" Nian Yin rolled his eyes, "Why is it okay?"

He said that for a long time, the villagers believed that the reason for this strange disease was God's curse on them. Legend has it that a long time ago, the people in this village were the same as ordinary people, with normal people's height, and they would not have such strange disease when they were old. Their lifespan was the same as ordinary people, and they did not live as long as they are now. Later, the villagers were bewitched by demons and pursued immortality, trying their best to extend their lifespan, but they angered God and punished them. Although the people in this village were able to live longer than others for generations, they could not grow as tall as normal people. Moreover, when they were old, they would get this strange disease and gradually become fools.

Nian Yin said that although this is just a legend, for many people in the village, they have always thought it was a shameful thing and a sin caused by their ancestors, so they would not let outsiders know about this matter easily.

It is precisely because the villagers have always deliberately concealed it, and the village is located in a remote place and few outsiders come in, so although the people in this village live a very long life, even those world-famous Changshou Townships are not as good as those world-famous Changshou Townships, they have always been less well-known and not famous.

Nian Yin said that the reason why Datou drove them away was because he felt that this matter was embarrassing and did not want Xie Lin and Zhang Lang to discover it. He said that Datou had been living in this village and had never been outside. His thoughts were as conservative as the villagers. He believed in the legend very much, but he paid great attention to the reputation of the village, so he was very sensitive, worried that Xie Lin and Zhang Lang would discover the abnormality of the villagers. When they learned the rumors, they would ruin the reputation of the village after they went out.

As the saying goes, family scandals cannot be made public.

After hearing Nian Yin's words, Xie Lin and Zhang Lang couldn't help but sigh. Although they felt that the big head's behavior or logic was a bit excessive, they were not incomprehensible.

Zhang Lang also showed sympathy and said, "So that's the case. That big head is really sensitive."

Nian Yin nodded and said, "It was because I didn't explain it clearly to Datou. He probably thought you were ordinary tourists. There have been more and more tourists coming here to explore over the years, but Datou has never been willing to let others step into this village and strive to protect the reputation of the village."

However, Xie Lin suddenly thought of another thing and couldn't help but wonder: "By the way, Uncle Nian, didn't you say Datou is already in his 90s? Why didn't he get that strange disease?"

Nian Yin was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Xie Lin, looking a little surprised, but soon his expression returned to normal, and nodded and said, "I also said that people in the village usually get this strange disease when they are in their sixties or seventies, but this is not absolute. Some people may get this strange disease before they are in their sixties, and some people will get this strange disease until they are in their eighties or nineties. Moreover, after they have a strange disease, the severity is different. Some people become very serious when they get sick, and the condition deteriorates very quickly, while others are very slow and the deterioration speed is not so fast."

As he said that, he glanced at Xie Lin and Zhang Lang again, "Didn't you notice that Datou's reaction sometimes is also slow?"

He said that Datou actually had that kind of strange disease, but he didn't know why. Datou had this strange disease almost five years ago, and the deterioration rate was very slow, which was not much different from ordinary people outside. After all, in the outside world, the older people are, especially when they get older, their thinking and reaction abilities will become slower.

However, for Big Tou, he may be able to live for another few decades. No matter how slowly his condition worsens, he is afraid that if he cannot survive ten years, he will become like a fool and even need to take care of others in his life.

Speaking of this, Nian Yin sighed again, and his face became a little dim. He said that apart from that big head, there are only these elderly people who can't even take care of themselves in the village. Over the years, the rest of the village have almost all relied on Big Head to take care of them. In another ten years, if Big Head becomes like other people, no one will take care of these elderly people anymore.

He said that he was going to stay in the village in a few years and not leave, and replace Datou and take care of these people in the village.

Nian Yin smiled again as he said, saying that although he might not be as long as Datou and others, if nothing unexpected happens, living in a hundred years should be fine, and he should be able to give these elderly people in the village a stable old age.

"Uncle was waiting for you that year... When you get old, who will take care of you?" Zhang Lang was a little moved when he heard it, even his eyes turned red, and he whispered.

Nian Yinze smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "It's okay, even if I'm old, it's just my own business. Let's leave it to fate. Besides, there are still so many years left, why do you think so much? Who knows what the world will become in thirty or fifty years."

Zhang Lang patted his chest and smiled and said, "Uncle Nian, don't worry, I will support you when you get old! I will come to this village often in the future. Then bring more things to help the villagers."

As he said that, he suddenly showed a sad face, "By the way, I can't live for that long. Maybe you are still alive by then, but I'm already dead..."

But when he said this, he laughed again, "But Uncle Nian, don't worry, even if I die, I will let my descendants take care of you."

"Boy, you think so much." Nian Yin looked like he couldn't smile bitterly, but he also seemed a little moved. "But you have to keep your word when you say something. Don't wait for me to get old, but you think I'm old, ugly and dirty, and ignore me at all."

"That won't be, I'm not that kind of person." Zhang Lang patted his chest again and said, "Don't you still teach me witchcraft? Why don't I just take you as my teacher? There's a saying that comes to it? By the way, I will be a teacher for one day and be a father for life. I will definitely take care of you in the future. Master, please accept a prayer from my disciple."

As he said that, he acted as an example to kneel down to Nian Yin and kowtow to Nian Yin as he learned from the TV.

Nian Yin waved his hand immediately and said laughably: "Okay, okay, I won't be here now. But since you have the will, I will accept you as my disciple. But as the saying goes, the master leads you to the door, and practice depends on your own in the future. Our career is extremely difficult, and you must be mentally prepared."

"Master, don't worry, I will work hard." Zhang Lang nodded and promised.

Nian Yin nodded, then looked at Xie Lin and said, "Forget it, your father's ability must be higher than mine, so I will not accept you as his disciple. When you find your father, you can learn witchcraft from your father. However, I am ugly in front of you. Now I have accepted Zhang Lang as his disciple. You and Zhang Lang are also considered brothers. Although your qualifications are far higher than Zhang Lang, it is not impossible for Zhang Lang to surpass you if he doesn't work hard at that time."

"I understand." Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

Zhang Lang was a little dissatisfied and curled his lips and said, "Why is my qualification lower than Alin? Master, how could you hit me like this?"

Nian Yin laughed a few times and said, "Don't be dissatisfied, Master, what I said is true. But diligence can make up for your shortcomings. I hope you will work harder than Xie Lin in the future."

"Okay." Zhang Lang was still a little unwilling, but he didn't complain anymore. He turned to look at Xie Lin, "Alin, you can't be more diligent than me in the future, otherwise I will not be able to surpass you by then."

As he said that, he smiled flatteringly again and turned to Nian Yin and said, "By the way, Master, if you catch the Red Fire Flying Dragon this time, you have to leave it for me to raise it. In that case, I will start faster than Alin and not lose to Alin."

"Boy is so selfish!" Nian Yin gave Zhang Lang a blank look, but his face was full of smiles, and nodded again and said, "Okay, let's not talk anymore, Dahei has passed, let's go back to the village as well, hurry up and prepare."

After saying that, he strode towards the village.

Xie Lin and Zhang Lang also hurriedly followed.

When they returned to the village, the big head was standing on the small playground below the village, as if waiting for Xie Lin and the others. Perhaps just now, she saw Xie Lin and Zhang Lang coming back to the village with Nian Yin.

However, his face was still very serious. Even when he saw Xie Lin and the others, his eyes still had a look of badness, and he still didn't seem to welcome Xie Lin and the others back to the village.

Moreover, even when he saw Nian Yin, he was not as respectful as last time, and he remained silent. He even had a hint of anger and hostility on his face, as if he was a little angry and dissatisfied with Nian Yin brought Xie Lin and the others back.

Nian Yin snorted heavily and said, "Bigou, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you that they are the guests I brought. Are you treating them like this? Why don't you apologize to them quickly?!"

Datou was stunned and looked at Nian Yin calmly, looking a little surprised, but his serious expression also eased, and he became a little confused and timid again, and hesitated: "I, I..."

"Okay." Nian Yin waved his hand and said, "I won't pursue your mistake this time. Just take care of yourself. Don't think you are smart." He hummed twice, but his originally stern tone also eased, "Don't do such stupid things in the future. Haven't I told you all before?"

Datou was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Uncle Six, I'll get you some food."

Nian Yinze waved his hand: "No need, let's go back to the top, look at the other people in the village, don't let them come up."

Datou was stunned again, then nodded, said ok, glanced at Xie Lin and Hu Wei again, and turned around and left.

Nian Yinze took Xie Lin and Zhang Lang to the top of the village.

Along the way, Xie Lin and Zhang Lang did not see the villagers, nor did they know if they had gone back to the house.

Xie Linze remembered those songs again and asked Nian Yin what that song meant.

Nian Yin smiled and said, "What's the point? That song was passed down long ago, and I don't know who compiled it."

He said that maybe there were villagers who wanted the gods from heaven to come down to help the villagers cure this strange disease, so they compiled such a song, which was sang again, but their level was limited, and this song sounded inexplicable and unknown. He said that the villagers had always believed that there were gods living on the mountain behind the village. In the past, people often wanted to climb to the top of the mountain, find the gods, and ask the gods to treat the strange disease that the villagers had. However, the mountain was extremely steep and could not be climbed up by manpower alone.

He also said that the figures wandering in the village last night were naturally not wandering souls, but villagers in the village. He said that last night, it was probably because of the villagers who took the lead in wandering outside and singing this song, and the other villagers were affected and wandered with the man.

After hearing what Nian Yin said, Xie Lin and Zhang Lang couldn't help but remember the villager they met while picking plums yesterday afternoon, thinking that it wouldn't be the one who took the lead.

But now there is no way to verify it.

After a while, they arrived in front of the earthen building above the village.

Nian Yin looked up at the mountain behind the village, and asked Xie Lin and Zhang Lang to wait outside. He walked into the middle room and closed the door, saying that Da Hei had already gone up the top of the mountain to catch the Red Fire Flying Dragon. He wanted to prepare for it to deal with the unexpected situation.

But not long after, he came out, but had already changed into a gray long gown, which looked like a Taoist robe. The bun on his head and his short figure were combed. If you look from behind, he really looked like a Taoist robe.

But he was still carrying the backpack and had a few more items in his hand.

Xie Lin and Zhang Lang saw what they were holding clearly, but were extremely surprised.

It was just because Nian Yin was holding a wooden sword about a foot long and wide inch inch in the right hand. The wooden sword was brown and yellow in color, but there was no pattern on it. The workmanship was very simple and even simple, and I didn't know what kind of wood it was made of; while he was holding a dark brown bell slightly larger than a table tennis ball, which looked like a copper bell.

And this time, Nian Yin looked more like a bull-nosed Taoist priest who walked around the world, specializing in catching monsters and exorcisms, as shown on some TV.

Zhang Lang's eyes widened, just like the copper bell, and his face looked amused and crying: "Nian... Oh no, Master, what are you doing? When did you become a Taoist priest again?"

If he hadn't witnessed Yin's method of celebrating the New Year, he would have been unable to help but suspect that Yin was a lie-in-law who specialized in charlatanism.

Nian Yin gave Zhang Lang a blank look: "Don't underestimate these things, boy."

As he said that, he handed the wooden sword to Zhang Lang and asked Zhang Lang to stand on the left with the wooden sword more than 20 meters; then he handed the copper bell to Xie Lin and asked Xie Lin to go to the right, and also stood more than 20 meters away.

When Xie Lin and Zhang Lang stood up, he said, "No matter what happens, you will stand there and don't move. You will do whatever I tell you to do."

After hearing Nian Yin say this, Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel nervous: "Master, what will happen later?"

Nian Yin looked at Zhang Lang, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I didn't say that there may be adult Red Fire Flying Dragons on the top of the mountain, so we have to be prepared."

Zhang Lang couldn't help but stand there, looking surprised: "Are you saying that adult Red Fire Flying Dragon might fly down?"

"Of course." Nian Yinze nodded and said with a serious look: "If Big Hei caught the small Red Fire Flying Dragon and was caught by it, he would definitely chase him down."

Zhang Lang swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but feel even more nervous: "Then, what should I do?"

Nian Yin once said that the adult Red Fire Flying Dragon could spray poisonous mist on his mouth and poison countless people in one go, so Zhang Lang couldn't help but become a little scared and even thought of giving up.

"Of course I have a way to deal with it. You just need to follow my instructions at that time." Nian Yin said, and then laughed a few more times, "Besides, Big Hei is not stupid. If there is really an adult Red Fire Flying Dragon on it, it will not mess with you casually. I told it that you have to wait until the thousands of Red Fire Flying Dragons are gone before you can catch the little Red Fire Flying Dragon. So don't worry too much, I just do this just in case."

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, but despite saying that, he was still a little worried. "Master, then if, I said, what if the big black happened to be discovered by the big red fire dragon and the red fire dragon chased here again, what should we do then?" As he said that, he looked at the wooden sword in his hand again, "Is this thing useful? Can it block the red fire dragon?"

"Why are you so long-winded? Do you still want to learn witch skills from me?" Nian Yin glared at Zhang Lang and said impatiently: "As the saying goes, how can you get a tiger's son if you don't enter the tiger's den? How can you get a good witch species without taking risks? Even if you don't want to catch the Red Fire Flying Dragon, you will be in danger if you want to find other witch species."

Zhang Lang immediately didn't dare to say anything else.

"Okay, I have said everything. I have my own way to deal with it. I just need your help, so don't worry too much." Nian Yinze said again, but his tone also eased. "If there is a real surprise at that time, you just need to listen to my instructions. No matter what the situation is, you must be calm. If I don't ask you to move, no matter what danger is, you can't leave the place where you are fighting now. In short, I will definitely protect you."

"Okay, we all listen to you." Zhang Lang nodded and said, "We..."

At this moment, Nian Yin suddenly looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes: "Here you come!"

Xie Lin and Zhang Lang suddenly felt nervous and immediately looked up at the sky.

But the big black bird was flying down from the top of the mountain quickly.

The big black bird was very fast. It was originally just a small black dot in the eyes of Xie Lin and the others. After a few breaths, its figure became clear.

And Xie Lin and Zhang Lang saw that the big black bird seemed to have something like a short rope in his mouth.

Seeing that there was nothing following the big black bird again, Xie Lin and Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

"No?" However, Nian Yin still had a serious face and stared at the big black bird flying down quickly, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.
To be continued...
