Chapter 834 Inflammation
As the village develops, more and more young people return to the village, bringing new ideas and technologies, injecting new vitality into the development of the village. Xiaohu looks at the lively scene in the village and feels very happy.
However, Xiaohu is not satisfied with this. He knows that the development of the village still faces many challenges, such as how to further protect the ecological environment, how to improve the cultural quality of the villagers, and how to deal with the dark forces that may appear again.
In order to improve the cultural quality of the villagers, Xiaohu founded a school in the village and invited excellent teachers to teach. The school not only teaches basic cultural knowledge, but also offers special courses such as traditional culture and ecological protection to cultivate children's love and sense of responsibility for their hometown.
In terms of ecological protection, Xiaohu led the villagers to formulate strict environmental protection regulations and increase the protection of mountains, forests and rivers. They also promoted clean energy in the village to reduce pollution to the environment.
As time goes by, the village has undergone tremendous changes. Modern facilities are perfectly integrated with ancient traditional culture, and the village has become a new type of village integrating ecological tourism, cultural heritage, and technological innovation.
Many years later, Xiaohu is now gray-haired, but he is still the backbone of the village. On a sunny day, Xiaohu stood in the village square, watching the children studying hard in the newly built library, the young people starting businesses and innovating in the technology incubation center, and the elderly chatting leisurely in the cultural activity center. His heart was filled with happiness and pride.
"Grandpa, do you see it? Our village is getting better and better, and we will always protect it." Xiaohu looked up at the sky, tears glistening in his eyes.
At this time, a warm spring breeze blew, bringing the fresh breath of the mountains and forests and the laughter of the villagers.

In a quiet courtyard in the village, a vigorous old man is sitting in a rocking chair, holding a yellowed ancient book in his hands. The sun shines on him, outlining a peaceful figure. He is Qi Tongwei. Although he is no longer young, his eyes still reveal the perseverance and wisdom of the past.
Qi Tongwei slowly closed the ancient book and looked towards the square. In his eyes, Xiaohu's figure gradually overlapped with the young boy in his memory. He sighed softly, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart, and the past years surged into his mind like a tide.
"My child, the story of this village is much more than what you see." Qi Tongwei murmured softly, as if talking about the past.
In the difficult process of protecting the village, Qi Tongwei encountered an unprecedented supernatural event. It was a late autumn night, and the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the ancient orchard behind the village. The fruit trees in the orchard were planted by our ancestors. Every harvest season, the branches are full of heavy fruits, and the fragrance of fruit is overflowing.
That night, Qi Tongwei was patrolling the village as usual, guarding this peaceful land. When he passed by the orchard, he heard a strange sound, like someone whispering, or the sound of some animal. His heart tightened, and he vigilantly held the flashlight in his hand and walked towards the source of the sound.
Walking into the orchard, the moonlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Qi Tongwei walked forward cautiously, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, he saw a black shadow swaying in front of him, moving swiftly, as if stealing fruits.
"Who's there?" Qi Tongwei shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the silent orchard.
The shadow heard the shout, paused for a moment, and then quickly fled. Qi Tongwei chased after it without hesitation. The shadow dodged left and right in the orchard, and its speed was so fast that Qi Tongwei had to work hard to catch up.
Finally, the shadow stopped under an old fruit tree. Qi Tongwei panted and shone the flashlight at the shadow. The scene in front of him shocked him. The shadow looked like a human, but covered with black hair. The outline of the face was blurred, and a pair of eyes flashed strangely in the dark. It was holding a few fruits in its hands, and the juice dripped from its claws onto the ground.
"This...what is this?" Qi Tongwei's heart was full of doubts and fear, but his years of experience dealing with danger made him calm down quickly.
At this moment, the black shadow suddenly roared and pounced towards Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei dodged its attack by moving sideways. He found that although the black shadow's movements were agile, they seemed a bit clumsy, and each attack was carried out with brute force.
Qi Tongwei fought fiercely with the black shadow. With his wisdom and experience, he cleverly dodged the black shadow's attacks while looking for its weaknesses. During the fight, Qi Tongwei discovered that the black shadow's abdomen seemed to be its weak spot.
He seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and hit the shadow's abdomen hard with the stick in his hand. The shadow screamed, fell to the ground, and struggled in pain.
Qi Tongwei walked forward, wanting to see clearly what the black shadow was. When he got closer, the black shadow suddenly turned into a ball of black mist and quickly dissipated into the air. Qi Tongwei looked at everything in front of him in surprise, his heart full of doubts.
After returning to the village, Qi Tongwei told the elders about this. After hearing this, an old man's face became very solemn: "This is probably the legendary Thirteen Ghosts, an extremely evil existence. It usually appears in the form of an animal, specializing in sucking the essence of living things, and wherever it goes, disasters continue."
Qi Tongwei was shocked: "Then what should we do?"
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard from my ancestors that to deal with the Thirteen Ghosts, we need to find an ancient artifact - the Evil-Suppressing Bronze Mirror. This bronze mirror is said to have powerful power and can suppress all evil. But it has been missing for many years and no one knows its whereabouts."
Without any hesitation, Qi Tongwei decided to embark on a journey to find the bronze mirror that could suppress evil. He bid farewell to the village and walked into the deep mountains and old forests alone. In the mountains and forests, he experienced countless hardships and dangers, encountered ferocious beasts, lost his way, and even encountered a landslide. But he never gave up, and had only one belief in his heart: to find the bronze mirror that could suppress evil and protect the village.
Finally, in an ancient cave, Qi Tongwei found the bronze mirror. The bronze mirror was covered with a thick layer of dust, but when Qi Tongwei touched it, a powerful force surged into his body, and the bronze mirror also emitted a dazzling light.
