Chapter 201: Play
Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Tianshou had to continue to make analogies.
"You'd better stay here and recuperate for the last few days, your soul is in your body, and now it's like a stranger, at least until they get along well before you can move with us. β
Bai Xiu looked up at him: "This is ......"
Wen Lang preemptively said: "This is the village of the tower guards, they are all kind, don't be afraid." β
Bai Xiu's heart suddenly dawned, it seemed that Fang Xuanjian was not lying before, it turned out that this was the place to guard the tower.
Zhang Tianshou shrugged his shoulders and finally made the purpose of the trip: "You have a good rest, and we will set off the night after tomorrow." β
The Lingling Pagoda is extremely impotent, so it is naturally better to move at night.
Bai Xiu didn't ask much, and the answers to everything came with the passing of time after all.
After the two left, Bai Xiu sat up and tried to use the spirit, and after the spiritual power ran for a week, Bai Xiu did not find anything abnormal.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, and the weakness of his body was enough to make up for it.
At the same time, he thought of a question, since Siyantan Village had left the shroud of the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, why couldn't he move the spirit at that time, except for the Spirit Pagoda and the Tribulation Heaven, was there any treasure full of spiritual energy there?
He lay down in deep thought, and soon fell asleep again.
"Boom a pool, that's ho!"
I don't know how long it took, a chant woke Bai Xiu up in an instant, his heart moved, he got out of bed and walked to the window to look quietly.
He was stunned after just one look.
I saw a group of people slowly walking outside, they had ghost faces and fangs, and they were holding white paper mourning sticks, and they slowly walked over with eight people.
And these eight people carried a scarlet coffin on their shoulders.
"Boom a pool!" a white-robed man walked in front with a ghost flag, and every time he recited a mantra, he struck the copper bell in his hand towards the flag.
Bai Xiu had a faint bad premonition in his heart, he didn't know if someone had died, or if he was blindly following some customs like Siyantan Village.
Fortunately, he soon got the answer, and the team marched to a clearing not far away, and the eight people lowered the coffin.
Before they could disperse, there was a loud bang in the coffin.
The faces of the people nearby suddenly showed a look of fear, and they showed the paper sticks in their hands, as if they wanted to resist the contents of the coffin once.
Seeing this, Bai Xiu's heart fell again, and the fear on everyone's faces was more of a pretense component, and the whole ceremony was like a performance like a puppet opera.
Sure enough, soon the coffin shook violently, and suddenly its lid flipped over, and a red-haired hand stretched out.
Bai Xiu remembered the Red Blood Corpse, but this should refer to the Dry Blood.
Legend has it that as soon as the drought comes out, the red land is thousands of miles, and here it should be to express the determination of the people here to surrender the yang.
As he was distracted, the "drought" had crawled out and sat on the lid of the coffin, looking at the frightened people, waving its claws proudly.
Suddenly, his eyes swept away, his feet stood up, and he ran directly towards Bai Xiu.
"Hey, why are you going?!" found that he had escaped, and immediately some people were dissatisfied and chased after him.
Soon Bai Xiu had a face-to-face with the person who played the role of Drought Fish.
He was wearing a mask, and Bai Xiu couldn't see his face clearly, only to find that the pair of red eyes were staring at him.
Suddenly, he bared his teeth and said viciously: "Where to go back and forth, you don't need to participate here!"
Without waiting for Bai Xiu to react, he had already turned around, and as he walked, he shouted at the person who was chasing him: "What's the noise, every time I play the drought ghost, I haven't complained yet!"
The sacrificial scene was continued because of his return, but Bai Xiu didn't have the heart to look at it anymore and slowly walked back to the room.
He wondered what that person meant by what he was saying, that the other person knew and knew what he was going to do.
This doesn't mean anything, Zhang Tianshou must be angry with the people here, and their purpose is the same, it seems that there should not be such hostility.
Does he know anything?
Bai Xiu's expression froze, the other party was not here to demonstrate, but seemed to have some clues to tell him.
He thought to himself, it looks like he's going to have to make a trip.
The next day, under the guidance of Wen Lang, Bai Xiu visited this settlement built by the tower keepers, and the people here called it "Dizhuang".
The embankment consists of three floors.
The first floor is the smallest in area, with only one ancestral hall above;
The second floor is where they live, densely distributed with hundreds of houses, high and low;
And at the bottom of the layer is farmland β yes, they live a self-sufficient life.
To Bai Xiu's surprise, this is not a dungeon, but an ordinary hillside.
Surrounded by mountains, green mountains and green waters, it is like Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source.
This is strange, he walked a few hundred meters underground, and finally appeared in Dizhuang?
Bai Xiu also asked Zhang Tianshou where they found themselves, but the other party was silent, and he couldn't do anything.
Bai Xiu faintly felt that Zhang Tianshou seemed to have a lot of hostility towards him, and he didn't delve into it, and set his eyes on Dizhuang again.
There is no doubt that it seems to be more closed than Siyantan Village.
However, this is not the case, the embankment is free to come and go, those who do not want to guard the tower can leave, and they will also absorb new members.
It can be said that this place is more like the developed Bai family.
However, he still had many questions, such as the people in Dizhuang did not seem to belong to the Fang family, which meant that the people who guarded the tower and the people who supported the tower were not the same group.
Secondly, what is the origin of the people of Dizhuang, and why do they come to guard?
In the end, how did the tower come about, is it really as fake Zhang Tianshou said, there were ancients, and finally moved to the underground?
And what does the Spirit Pagoda have to do with the real Heaven?
His thoughts flew until Wen Lang pointed to the ancestral hall and said, "Brother Bai Xiu, why don't we go up and have a look, I've been here for so long, and Brother Zhang won't let me go, thanks to you today, I can go up and open my eyes." β
Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he smiled gently: "Is there anything fun on it?"
Wen Lang nodded his fingers and counted them one by one: "I inquired with Shui Qiu, and he said that there are three immortals in it, the god of yin and yang, the god of the five elements, and a ...... I forgot, it seems to be called 'Qinghong Founder'?"
"Qinghong founder?" Bai Xiu said silently, he was sure that he had never heard of this name.
Wen Lang nodded and said, "Legend has it that he brought the tower from the sky to the world and suppressed the underground dragon vein. β
Many people are willing to believe in the existence of dragon veins, they are like the backbone of people, supporting the qi of the entire world.
When she said this, it seemed to confirm what the man saidβthe Pagoda of the Soul was about the survival of this world.
Bai Xiu asked quietly: "The people nearby are in danger of being in danger, if it is really him who put the tower here, why does Dizhuang still worship his godship?"
Wen Lang suddenly said: "One yard is one yard, the imbalance of yin and yang in the Lingling Pagoda is a disaster caused by that thief, not only the business of Qinghong's founder." β
Bai Xiu took the opportunity to say: "Don't you know who stole the yin core back then?"
Wen Lang shook his head again and again: "I don't know, I heard Shui Qiu say that his grandparents, parents' generation still quarreled about it back then."
Because some people suspected that there might be a traitor in the village, he stole the yin core by himself.
Many people left Dizhuang that year, and Shui Qiu's relatives left at that time, and Shui Qiu was reluctant to leave here. β
Do the guards steal from themselves......
Bai Xiu was even more curious about the origin of the tower guards, and they seemed to be guarding here on the orders of some person or force.
Moreover, the so-called Yin Core and Yang Core are not part of the Spiritual Pagoda, but are like treasures placed in the Spiritual Pagoda.
Wait a minute, could it be that the people of Dizhuang are not guarding the tower, but the yin and yang nucleus?!
Then many issues have to be reconsidered, and Bai Xiu tries to restore the ins and outs of things.
It is impossible to verify that the Qinghong Emperor placed the tower here, but whether it is true or not, this is not a key factor.
The key is that one day, the supporters of Dizhuang found that it could contain spiritual objects, so they put the yin and yang nuclei into the tower and let some people stay here.
After that, someone must have come to steal the treasure, and the real Dizhuang people released the news in order to better protect them, and there is now a saying that Qinghong is the master of the dragon vein of Ta Town, and the Ling Tower is related to the survival of the world.
In this way, the people of Dizhuang turned into tower guards, and in this way, they attracted enthusiastic cultivators who did not know the truth, and guarded the two cores of yin and yang in the name of guarding the tower.
Of course, it is not enough to move with affection and reason, and the people of Tizhuang deliberately reveal the existence of treasures and supporters, so that the interests will keep them here.
That Shui Qiu's parents are likely to be these people.
Twenty years ago, someone stole the nucleus, and in the midst of suspicion, many people left here.
If this is the case, then Zhang Tianshou's role is strange, according to the fake Zhang Tianshou's disclosure, this person was instructed by his father to wait for Bai Xiu's arrival in Siyantan Village, and then bring him into the tower.
And the latter seems to be conditional, before Bai Xiu thought that they were going to solve the problem of the imbalance of yin and yang in the Lingling Pagoda, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Could it be that his father asked them to steal the Yin and Yang cores, or even the Yin and Yang cores that should have been well preserved?
No wonder Zhang Tianshou seemed to be hostile to him, in fact, it was to gag him and let him not ask too much, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the people of Dizhuang.
But......
If it is really to solve the so-called yin and yang imbalance in the Ling Ling Tower, it can be said clearly, the people of Dizhuang know that this problem does not exist at all, and the yang evil is only caused by the lack of yin nucleus, why would they allow the three of them to enter the tower?
Is it to perfunctory the part of the Dizhuang people who don't know the truth, or is there some conspiracy planned, or is Zhang Tianshou and the others simply in league with them, they just want to lead him into the tower?
Bai Xiu shook his head secretly, his suspicions were really too heavy, Wen Lang was just a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, and Zhang Tianshou was the man arranged by his father, which was also revealed by the fake Fang Xuanqian's partner fake Zhang Tianshou.
And they were not hostile to him, and even helped him.
He realized now that they seemed to be holding him back, but they were actually helping him find his way to the Evil Tower.
If things are really as he just analyzed, then he is not only an enemy of Yangsha, but also an enemy of the entire Dizhuang.
Facts have proved that whether it is Fang Xuanqian or him, it is indeed difficult to succeed alone, and he needs an alliance.
Even if they don't know what purpose Zhang Tianshou wants to enter the tower with him, at least now they are people in the same boat.
Bai Xiu thought about it, and already had a plan in his heart.
