I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

That’s right, Jiang Xiaomei is a cultivator!

She studied under Zhang Xiuniang, a famous lady in nine villages and three towns, and became proficient in the extremely powerful art of sewing.

Compared to the government, the village chief relies on her a little more.

"How many times have I told you? Never accept a commission that is beyond your ability!"

Not surprisingly, Zhang Xiuniang scolded her eldest disciple harshly.

"Master, my sister-in-law is from Shancha Village."

Jiang Xiaomei said stubbornly, "She came to see me in person, so I can't refuse."

"With your temper, you will hurt yourself sooner or later."

Zhang Xiuniang was furious. She picked up the chopsticks and hit her apprentice on the head with all her strength: "If you can't do it, you can't do it. Not to mention my sister-in-law, even your own parents can't do it even if they beg you to do it!"

.......

No matter how much he scolds or hits, the master still has to clean up the apprentice's mess in the end.

"Tell me, what happened in Shancha Village?"

Zhang Xiuniang sighed and asked helplessly.

Jiang Xiaomei lowered her head and apologized to her master again before quickly telling him what happened.

It turned out that a family in the village was building a new house and secretly cut down the century-old tree in the forest.

"and many more"

Zhang Xiuniang stared and said, "Didn't I tell you that tree can't be cut down? Is he mentally ill?"

"Maybe, maybe the master emphasized that the tree cannot be cut down, so he thought that the tree was a treasure tree, and using it to build a house would make the whole family rich."

You still blame me?

Zhang Xiuniang slapped her forehead and asked, "How many people are alive in his family?"

"No one survived. The villagers said that the old tree had become a spirit... Master, was it really the wood spirit that killed their family?"

"if not!"

Zhang Xiuniang asked unhappily, "Did anything strange happen afterwards?"

"After that, one person would go missing from the village every night. People said that the wood spirit would not let go of anyone who had entered the forest to cut trees, no matter where they went."

Alarmist!

Zhang Xiuniang snorted coldly and said, "We will set out tomorrow morning and sew up that Mu Mei as soon as possible, so that your sister-in-law won't come looking for her again."

"..."

"Master, are we going alone?"

Zhang Xiuniang was slightly startled, then she remembered the suggestion her eldest disciple had made before.

"Tangtang is very talented in embroidery, but it's hard to say whether she has the talent for cultivation. If she wants to learn the art of sewing and becomes my disciple, what will happen if she can't learn it in the future?"

Hearing what the master said, Jiang Xiaomei quickly said, "That's not your fault, Master. Just teach her well and have a clear conscience."

.......

Zhang Xiuniang was troubled for half the night, but finally invited Tangtang the next day.

"The wood spirit is harming people, so we have to go to Camellia Village to sew it up?"

The little girl took a bite of the pancake and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Tangtang will go with you."

Such an attitude made Jiang Xiaomei quite confused.

"Tangtang, have you ever seen something like a wood spirit before?"

“Yeah, I’ve seen quite a few!”

Jiang Xiaomei couldn't help but cast a questioning look at her master, who immediately explained: "Don't look at Tangtang's young age, she was a young magician in Sang Country."

He just doesn't have any magical powers. He is probably just a monk who preaches sutras in the temple.

“So that’s how it is”

Jiang Xiaomei was quite curious about Tangtang's past experience as a wizard, but considering that the Sang Kingdom had already perished, she didn't ask any more questions in order not to bring up the little girl's sad memories.

"Let's go, it's best to get things done today."

Zhang Xiuniang waved her hand and led the way towards Shancha Village.

"Oh!"

Camellia Village was not far from the town where the three of them lived. Before lunch, they arrived at the forest that the villagers no longer dared to set foot in.

"Go and borrow an axe," Zhang Xiuniang ordered.

When the disciple hurried over with an axe, she took it with both hands, swung the axe and started chopping at the tree without saying a word.

With Zhang Xiuniang's physical strength, it was impossible for her to cut down a tree completely in a short period of time, but she didn't do that.

"what--"

The woman chopped here and there with her axe, and soon there were axe marks on the trunks of dozens of trees.

"Not bad, almost there."

Zhang Xiuniang dropped her axe, panting, wiped her sweat and said, "Xiaomei, ask the village chief to vacate a room. We should stay together after we enter the room."

........

The three of them waited in the house for an entire afternoon, but the wood ghost did not show up.

"Looks like I have to stay up late. I'll get some sleep now."

Zhang Xiuniang urged, "Wake me up as soon as it gets dark, and wake me up as soon as there's any noise."

"Yes!"

Seeing her eldest disciple respond very nervously, Zhang Xiuniang couldn't help but shake her head secretly.

She became even more alert and secretly grabbed a needle and a ball of silk thread in her hand.

"Aunt Zhang"

Tangtang suddenly asked: "What's that in your hand?"

"It's something specially used to deal with strange creatures," Zhang Xiuniang said with a smile.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with the needle, but the ball of silk thread itself seems to be a strange thing."

good eyesight!

Zhang Xiuniang looked at Tangtang in amazement and explained, "Although it is a strange thread, with the magic needle here, it can't cause any trouble."

"kindness"

The little girl stopped disturbing Zhang Xiuniang's rest and ran to the door to keep watch.

sand--

The house is quite close to the woods. When the wind blows, Tangtang and Jiang Xiaomei can hear the rustling sound in the woods.

Seeing Jiang Xiaomei's whole body tense up, the little girl comforted her softly: "It's okay, Tangtang has good eyesight, and she can see Mu Mei as soon as she appears."

Thinking of how Tangtang had noticed something strange about the silk thread at a glance, the girl couldn't help but feel relieved.

Chapter 361: Beautiful Landscape

The sun gradually sets, but the rustling sound in the forest continues.

After listening to it for a long time, Jiang Xiaomei gradually got used to this sound.

Not only was she no longer afraid, she even felt that the rustling sound coming from the woods was like a song.

A lullaby.

Before she knew it, the girl's eyelids drooped.

She leaned against the wall and fell asleep while standing.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, it's getting dark, wake up quickly."

The sudden sound in the room woke Jiang Xiaomei up with a start.

She hurried to the bed, held back a yawn and began to push the master's shoulder.

After pushing Zhang Xiuniang several times, there was no response. Jiang Xiaomei was no longer sleepy, and without saying a word, she used the magic needle to pierce her master's fingertips.

Zhang Xiuniang jumped up from the bed, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Phew, I almost fell into its trap. Fortunately, Xiaomei, you reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been really dangerous this time."

Zhang Xiuniang had experience in dealing with wood ghosts and knew that they were extremely powerful and had no weak points in the usual sense.

But I have never seen this hypnotic ability before.

"Get behind me, it's coming!"

When Jiang Xiaomei heard this, she quickly dragged the little girl and hid behind the master.

The rustling sound coming from the woods suddenly turned into an eerie whimpering.

Jiang Xiaomei's scalp tingled and she stared at the door without blinking.

Although she has some skills, when faced with monsters that she is completely unable to deal with, her behavior is basically no different from that of an ordinary person.

boom--

The wooden door was shattered by the heavy blow, and then a huge body forced its way in through the door.

"It's a lot bigger than the wood demon we dealt with last time."

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuniang pointed her finger at the door.

The magic needle flew out of her hand and easily pierced Mu Mei's right arm.

Then it deftly circled Mu Mei a few times and tied the big guy tightly with silk thread.

..........

The silk thread looked like it would break if pulled, but Mu Mei was so powerful that he almost strangled both of his arms and was unable to break free.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuniang opened a long wooden box and took out an unfinished embroidery.

She did not unfold the embroidery, but waved her hand to let the magic needle fly back to her hand, and then continued with the last process to start sewing.

As the little girl watched in amazement, every time Zhang Xiuniang inserted a needle, the bound wood spirit would become smaller.

After dozens of injections, the huge wood ghost became the size of a palm.

At this time, Zhang Xiuniang pulled the strange silk, and Mu Mei struggled and fell into her hands.

"You go in too!"

Zhang Xiuniang was talking while her hands did not stop moving.

She used her magic needle to pierce the wooden spirit's body and patiently sewed it onto the embroidery.

As time passed, Mu Mei's three-dimensional body gradually became flat.

When the last stitch falls, it has become a pattern on the embroidery.

"This is my unique skill - the art of sewing tricks. What do you think, Tangtang?"

After the strange silk automatically broke off, it slowly grew back together, and it seemed that it was going to grow back the part that was used to sew the wood spirit.

Zhang Xiuniang ignored it and asked Tangtang with a smile.

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then gave a high evaluation: "Very good!"

Zhang Xiuniang's own cultivation level is not enough to fight against Mu Mei head-on.

However, after performing the sewing technique with the magic needle and strange silk, Mu Mei was left without any ability to fight back.

Moreover, this embroidery made with the sewing technique is also extraordinary.

If this could be accomplished one day in the future, Zhang Xiuniang would be able to command all the monsters sewn in to fight for her.

If she reaches that stage, her combat power will be considered top-notch among all the upgraded ones.
