Chapter 813: Stone Bridge Town: Collision with Evil Spirits
In the afternoon, Ziyun and Zhuge Leng each had lunch outside and returned to the Su family's old store as agreed. Seeing Zhuge come in coldly, Ziyun smiled and said, "How is the harvest?" Come and have a cup of tea and talk to me about it."
Zhuge Leng sat down and said: "I went to the market today, the women here have a lot of idle chatter, but there is not much useful information, and the one who can have anything to do with the Wang family is just a few months ago when a villager bumped into a ghost on the mountain." ”
"Oh, what's going on?"
It turned out that about seven or eight months ago, there was a sudden heavy rain in the mountains and forests, because there was something urgent to do, a townsman braved the rain to rush to the night, but his feet slipped and fell into the pit, and he fainted face down, and the rain was very strong that night, and he was drowned in the water. It was just an accident, but three months ago, some townspeople who were walking on the mountain road at night saw his ghost, and they were startled and hurriedly ran down the mountain. Later, people were also organized to go up the mountain to check, but they did not find anything unusual.
Zhuge Leng said again: "There is another thing about that crazy woman, it turns out that the day she went crazy, she went up the mountain with a group of young people, but she didn't come down together. ”
Also growing up in this town, young people naturally often play together, it was the time to go green, the mountain behind the town is not big, but it is not small, there are no large wild animals on the mountain itself, at most it is a rabbit, monkey, squirrel and so on, even the snake is a non-venomous grass snake.
The edge of the mountain was developed by the people of the town, not only there are vegetable fields, but also pottery kilns, and there are stone steps and pavilions on the mountain, as long as they do not go too deep into the mountains, in fact, the townspeople can play at will even if they are children, not to mention these young people who grew up here. There are even tourists from outside the country sometimes.
Ziyun nodded and said: "I also heard about this, today I went to the tavern, and the little second brother there also said that there were scholars who came here to drink and write poems by the lake, but that crazy ...... The appearance of Miss Chen with a knife scared away the scholars, and it was because of this that the townspeople were very disgusted with Miss Chen. ”
Zhuge Leng said again: "And this time, Xiao Ziyuan, the second son of the Xiao family in the kiln factory who married Miss Su of the inn, also went up the mountain that time. ”
"It seems that Miss Su is hiding something from us. ”
"Oh, by the way, they also mentioned a man named Uncle Seven. I asked, it seems to be the temple here Zhu, it seems that there are some means, specifically for people to divinate good fortune and evil, and the eight characters, test feng shui, in the outermost temple of the goddess, it seems that I haven't seen anyone for a year, but I left two disciples in the temple, and the women said that it would be good if the seventh uncle was present when the mountain was organized. ”
After listening to it, Ziyun said: "It's a year ago again, this year ago was very lively...... and then he told what he saw and heard in the tavern today.
Zhuge said coldly: "What do you think?"
Ziyun said: "There are still many places that are not clear, at present, it is only known that two Wang family defectors have come, and then the so-called earthquake on the mountain must have been caused by the battle, and Miss Chen seems to have encountered something." But according to what you said, there were less than a dozen young men and women who went up the mountain at that time, so how could she be alone?"
Zhuge Leng got up and said, "Maybe you're right, young master." Something really happened in this town, what should we do now? Should we go to the crazy Miss Chen's house, or go downstairs and ask Miss Su in the inn?"
Ziyun thought for a while: "It's not suitable, Miss Su is about to get married, so she must be silent." And the Chen family must have been blamed for this incident, let's go to the door rashly with outsiders, in case we poke their sore spots, wouldn't we do bad things with good intentions?"
"Then let's ......"
Ziyun walked to the window: "Maybe we can go to the Goddess Temple in the afternoon, didn't we say that Uncle Seven still has two disciples, let's see if there will be any clues there." ”
As the two of them were about to go to the temple of the goddess, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and it seemed that it would not be long before it rained.
Ziyun and the others borrowed two umbrellas from the counter, and the shopkeeper Su said, "Guest officer, it's going to rain, you still have to go out?"
"Well, something came to mind. ”
"Okay, give you the umbrella. Oh, by the way, I wonder if the two guest officers are ready to leave in the next two days?"
Ziyun smiled: "How is the shopkeeper in charge? Is there any inconvenience, preparing to close the store?"
"No, no, the day after tomorrow is the day when the little girl comes out of the pavilion, if the guest officer is still in Shiqiao Town when he arrives, please also go and drink a glass of wine together. ”
"I heard in the morning that Miss Su's good things are coming, and it just so happens that we may also stay in these two days, and we will definitely go to disturb a glass of wedding wine when the time comes. ”
"That couldn't be better, couldn't be better. ”
It turned out that Miss Su's wedding date was the day after tomorrow, the town itself is not big, and the people around her are familiar with each other, so there is no need for some cumbersome procedures. During this time, the Xiao family is preparing for the wedding, and the Su family's old store only needs to hang some colorful silk tomorrow and prepare dowries, color boxes, wedding cakes and other items.
A light rain fell, and the people on the street took refuge, and Ziyun and Zhuge Leng came to the Temple of the Goddess. Goddesses are a common belief in the whole world, and there are magnificent temples in the big cities and big cities, and there are small temples made of bricks and mud in small villages. Although the temple of the goddess of Wonju Myoyan is outside the city, the scale is not small. The temple in Shiqiao Town is much smaller, and there is no priest stationed there, so at most one temple is left.
The seventh uncle is the temple of Shiqiao Town, he went out to learn art in his early years, and he had some means, although he was not from a big family like the Five Sects, but it should also be a monastic sect, and the best thing is Fu Gong. And he accepted two disciples, the eldest called Ah Shou is nineteen years old this year, and he often follows the master to fight. The second child's name is Ah Hai, who is only fourteen years old, and he hasn't learned a few points yet, and he is also a fun-loving age.
Perhaps because of the rain, there were no pilgrims left in the temple. This small temple is on the edge of the town, and there is a small open space in front of the door, where the villagers gather during festivals or other sacrifices.
When he saw it, a young man said, "Are the guests here to worship or do they have other needs?"
Ziyun saw that this person was older, and it should be Ah Shou, the eldest apprentice of the seventh uncle, and immediately laughed: "No, we are people who passed by by by chance, and now we live in the old store of the Su family, but I heard that there seems to be an accident in the town a year ago, so I came to inquire." ”
Ah Shou glanced at the two of them: "Who are the two of you?"
Ziyun said: "Your Excellency and I are considered to be fellow Xuanmen, after bidding farewell to the master, I took my little sister to travel around the rivers and lakes, and I found all kinds of suspicious things here, so I plan to know a thing or two." ”
As soon as Ziyun stretched out his hand, a small wind ball was formed in the palm of his hand, and the wet fallen leaves on the ground were attracted to it and kept circling, Ah Shou naturally knew what this meant: "Wind Spirit Immortal Technique? Okay, this fellow Daoist please come here." ”
It is not uncommon for young people like this to learn art and travel around the rivers and lakes to fight for righteousness, maybe the two people in front of them are really righteous. Even so, Ah Shou wanted to explore further. Master has been missing for a year, and as a senior brother, he has to take care of his younger brother and guard the door, and at the same time want to find out the truth about Master's disappearance. I know my own ability, if I really have the help of a master, the chance of winning is greater.
Seeing that the senior brother invited two strange pilgrims in, the little junior brother Ah Hai was also very curious, he had been cultivating with the master for a short time, and in addition to the flexibility of his fists and feet, the Taoism and skills were far from enough.
Of course, the two brothers couldn't trust the two strangers right away, so they asked Ziyun to talk about their situation first, and Ziyun didn't hide it, and told the story of staying in the Su family's old store, as well as the crazy woman Chen Yao's hacking yesterday, plus the matter of the Wang family token, in fact, except for the Wang family token, the others are not secrets to the two brothers.
Ziyun said: "Two, we have told everything we know, and we hope that the two of you will not hide anything, this may be related to the two masters and the entire Shiqiao Town." ”
Senior brother Ah Shou said: "I can't imagine that the Su family's old store still has such a cause and effect, well, things have to start from a year ago......"
Just after the earthquake in the mountains, the seventh uncle, who was the temple of the goddess, had a premonition that something was wrong, and he was good at feng shui for the entire Shiqiao Town, who was married and funeral, whose child was named, and whose business was opened, he also had to help. Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, it's just a little noise on the mountain in the middle of the night. But in his eyes, it was completely unexpected.
With years of popularity, he organized everyone to go up the mountain to investigate the truth, but only found some landslides, and the seventh uncle himself didn't notice anything wrong, so he wondered if he was making a fuss.
For a period of time in the future, there were a lot of people going up and down the mountain, and nothing happened, and even the seventh uncle, who had been nervous, was relieved. Unexpectedly, only half a month later, Boss Chen of the grain store sent someone to the temple of the goddess at night to ask the seventh uncle for help.
Ziyun knew that this was Miss Chen of the Chen family and Chen Yao fell and injured herself: "What? Then Miss Chen is not just injured?"
Ah Shou nodded: "At that time, I went with my master, and in order to take care of my reputation, Boss Chen told us not to make a noise." ”
The little junior brother Ah Hai said: "Yes, after that, the master said that he was going to the mountain, and then he never came back. ”
"Is there really a problem with Miss Chen?"
Ah Shou nodded: "There is indeed an evil spirit on Chen Yao's body, when the master smashed the evil spirit that was entwining her with a spirit rune, but he also realized that something had happened on the mountain, so he took the guy and prepared to go up the mountain alone, and asked us to stay here." ”
Zhuge Leng asked, "If your master really crushed the evil spirit possessed by Miss Chen, then how could she still go crazy like this?"
Ah Shou shook his head: "We don't know, I also went to see her afterwards, maybe I haven't been home yet, anyway, I didn't see anything wrong." ”
Ziyun thought for a while and said, "Do you know that a few months ago, there were townspeople who saw ghosts on the mountain?"
Ah Shou nodded and said, "After we learned about the situation, we also went up the mountain to check, and we vaguely felt that something was wrong, and we didn't dare to investigate deeply." ”
Ziyun nodded in agreement, if something really happened, even their master couldn't solve it, didn't the young junior brothers rush up to find death? Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, Ziyun decided to go to Chen's house tomorrow to have a look.
The little junior brother Ah Hai has always been worried about the master's affairs, and he is naturally full of joy, but the senior brother Ah Shou feels a little dangerous: "If there is really something on the Chen family or the mountain, let's just go over like this, will we be overwhelmed?"
Ziyun didn't say much, just glanced at Zhuge Leng, Zhuge Leng grabbed Ah Shou's forearm, Ah Shou didn't understand what was going on, a beautiful girl grabbed his arm, and the next moment he felt a burst of overwhelming power, even countless times stronger than his master. I thought that the young man in front of me was a master, but I didn't expect this girl to be a hidden existence.
Ziyun said embarrassedly: "Although I can already go out to walk the rivers and lakes, the people at home are still not very relieved...... "This is not a lie, after all, Zhuge Leng is his maid."
It turns out that the two people in front of them are not brother and sister, this girl is here to protect the master's family, it doesn't matter what their relationship is, but this girl is so powerful, this man's wind spirit fairy skills are not weak, Ah Shou himself can also thunder spirit fairy arts, if they join forces, maybe it is really possible to find out the truth.
A few people made an appointment to go to Chen's house together early tomorrow morning, originally the little junior brother Ah Hai also wanted to go, but the senior brother Ah Shou told him to stay, his slight skills are also adding to the chaos, this kid is an impulsive character, don't go wrong when the time comes, besides, the temple of the goddess also needs to be guarded.
Ziyun and Zhuge Leng returned to the inn, and Ziyun said, "We're going to talk to Miss Su." ”
Zhuge Leng was puzzled: "Didn't you say that she would keep her mouth shut and wouldn't talk to outsiders more?"
"It was true before, but we visited the temple of the goddess, and we know a little more, seeing that she is so protective of Miss Chen in the market, it should be a good relationship, and using this as an opening, maybe we can know what really happened at the beginning." ”
