Chapter Forty-Four: Dragon Granny

  After leaving the hotel, they hailed a taxi and headed towards Linquan Mountain.

  Lingyanshan is half an hour's drive from the city of Longevity, and it's very secluded. People who come here are basically all coming to burn incense and worship Buddha at the Tiandai Temple on Lingyanshan.

  While on the road, Lin Xiaofeng pretended to be a tourist and chatted with the taxi driver.

  "Master, is the TianTai Temple effective?" Lin XiaoFeng handed over a cigarette.

  The taxi driver, who looked over 40 years old, took a drag on his cigarette and chuckled: "I don't know about this stuff, but our Longshou District only has one temple. Whether it's efficacious or not, there are still quite a few people coming to burn incense."

  Lin Xiaofeng asked again: "I heard that there is a Gu Po on this mountain, called Long Pozi, is it true or false?"

  The taxi driver's face changed slightly upon hearing this, and he looked at Lin Xiaofeng with some confusion: "Why are you asking this?"

  "This isn't curiosity." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile.

  "I'm from Linqian Mountain, that old lady just stays in her own house all the time. When we were kids, we were warned not to go near Long Po's house." said the taxi driver.

  Huang Pangzi was somewhat anxious: "Then is she really a witch or not?"

  Huang Pao couldn't help but feel anxious, as this was a matter that concerned his happiness for the rest of his life.

  "Who knows if it's true or not." The taxi driver waved his hand: "But there is a child who was curious and went to play near Long Pozi's house, but didn't come back."

  "Lost?" Lin Xiaofeng was puzzled.

  "Later, the police were called in and they also went to Long Pozi's house to look for her, but she was nowhere to be found. In the end, the police treated it as a case of human trafficking." The taxi driver said with a smile.

  Lin Xiaofeng's heart sank when he heard this. If it was really like the taxi driver said, then Long Pozi wasn't a good person after all. This trip might not be as simple as he thought.

  Of course, Lin Xiaofeng was not afraid in his heart. He didn't even worry about Lian Mingtang, let alone a witch like her.

  Before long, the car arrived at the foot of the mountain. After paying the fare, the taxi driver pointed to a narrow road and said: "You two just go up along this road, on the left side of the highway there is a bamboo forest, in the bamboo forest there is a broken house, that's where Dragon Granny lives, you two don't go past it."

  "Don't worry." Lin Xiaofeng nodded his head, thinking that this taxi driver was quite enthusiastic.

  The road was a bit dark, and the two of them took out their mobile phones to use as flashlights, walking on the dark mountain road.

  Tiantai Temple is famous for its longevity, but on ordinary days, there are not many people coming to burn incense and worship Buddha. Only during the Bodhisattva's birthday will it be crowded with people.

  "Xiaofeng, can that dragon lady cure my illness?" Huang Pangzi said from behind.

  "Anyway, be more careful next time," said Lin Xiaofeng.

  After walking for about twenty minutes, a bamboo forest finally appeared on the left side of the highway, with a quiet small path leading deep into the bamboo forest.

  "Let's go." Lin Xiao Feng took out the Golden Sword from his suitcase and walked ahead.

  Before long, they arrived in front of a wooden house.

  The wooden house looks shabby and occasionally a pungent smell comes from inside.

  Lin Xiaofeng furrowed his brow and walked forward to knock on the wooden door.

  After a while, the wooden door creaked open.

  An old woman with a kind face and good eyes opened the door, she looked just like an ordinary rural left-behind elderly woman, her face was full of wrinkles, hunched back, only 1.5 meters tall, very thin.

  "Who are you?" The old woman slowly opened her mouth and asked.

  Her voice was hoarse and sounded somewhat piercing.

  "Are you Dragon Granny?" Lin Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Some of my friends have encountered some evil spirits, I'd like to ask Dragon Granny for help to drive them away."

  "Sorry, I didn't understand what you said." Long Pozi said and was about to close the door.

  Although the light was dim, when she mentioned the word "yin evil", there was a flicker in the old woman's eyes.

  Lin Xiaofeng's heart was delighted, it seemed he hadn't found the wrong person. He stretched out his hand to block the door of the wooden hut and smiled: "Old lady, reconsider?"

  The old woman's eyebrows furrowed and she said: "Outside, they all say I'm a cruel and evil witch, aren't you afraid to come find me?"

  "Old woman, what's your problem with us? I just brought my friend here to ward off evil spirits." Lin Xiao Feng said.

  Long Pozi heard this and turned around to walk into the house, no longer refusing. Lin Xiaofeng turned his head and whispered to Huang Paozi: "Come in."

  As he spoke, he also put away the Golden Sword. The dragon woman looked kind and benevolent, which was somewhat different from what the taxi driver had said.

  Lin Xiaofeng can also understand, but as long as there is a little bit of ability that ordinary people don't have, it will be exaggerated, and even make ordinary people dare not get close, after a long time, it's normal to become an old lady who kills without blinking.

  Two people walked into the house.

  The light in the house is very dim, and the interior is also very simple. There is only a wooden board bed, a stove, a wooden table, and next to the stove there is a large wooden bucket.

  A very strong stench was coming from the wooden bucket.

  "Sit down." Long Pozi hunched his back and poured two cups of tea for them.

  Lin Xiaofeng sat down, took a sip of tea and asked: "Dragon Granny, what's being simmered in that wooden bucket?"

  "It's just some medicine I used to cure myself of this illness," said Dragon Auntie.

  Lin Xiaofeng curiously asked: "How can an old woman live alone in such a simple wooden house?"

  Long Pozi let out a sigh and sat down across from the two, saying: "When I was young, I followed my sister to learn witchcraft, but as a result, no one dared to marry me again. They were even afraid when they saw me."

  "Finally they drove me out of the village, I've lived in this bamboo forest for almost seventy years." said Dragon Granny with a smile.

  Huang Baozi curiously asked: "When we came before, I heard that in the past there were children who disappeared near your house."

  Lin Xiaofeng glared at Huang Baozi, what's the point of asking this kind of question.

  However, Long Pozi just listened and didn't get angry. She smiled and looked at the two of them, asking: "Do you think I did it?"

  "At that time, there were many cases of child trafficking everywhere. There was a little chubby kid playing outside my house, and he was taken away by someone. I was an old lonely woman, and even though I saw it happen, there was nothing I could do about it. In the end, everyone accused me of harming that child." Dragon Aunt shook her head: "I'm too lazy to explain, anyway, the misunderstanding has already gone so deep."

  "Sorry." Huang Pangzi's face turned slightly red upon hearing this, and he also realized that he had asked an inappropriate question.

  Lin Xiaofeng also felt a little sympathy for the old woman, who had been treated as a monster by the people nearby just because she had learned some witchcraft. She had spent 70 years alone and miserable, and the bitterness of this experience was not something that ordinary people could understand.
