Chapter 16: Ten Miles of Strange Incense

The old housekeeper hurriedly ran in when he heard the movement, apologized again, and reprimanded the maid, "How do you serve your guests?!"

Murong Lingfeng interrupted the old housekeeper, "It was I who asked about Quanxi Village that distracted them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Info Butler, Grandpa, don't blame them. ”

"Quanxi Village?" the old housekeeper was stunned, and his face was a little unsightly.

Murong Lingfeng nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Housekeeper, do you know this place?"

Qian Jin let the people out, and there is no need to wait here. After everyone was gone, the old housekeeper asked, "How did the divine doctor know about Quanxi Village?"

"I ...... yesterday" Murong Lingfeng had just gotten up, Yun Mo kicked him lightly under the table, and the little boy pursed his lips and changed his mouth. "I heard it mentioned yesterday on the road. What's the matter, is this place in Quanxi Village dangerous?"

Qian Jin looked at Murong Lingfeng's curiosity, and had to sigh helplessly, "Since the divine doctor wants to know, the old slave will talk about it." However, the divine doctor, you must remember that you must not mention the three words of Quanxi Village outside, which is a taboo in the entire Xuzhou Mansion. ”

There is a group of hot springs in the place where Xuzhou Mansion and Nanping Mountain meet, and thousands of hot spring eyes of all sizes are the most famous tourist attractions in the whole Xuzhou Prefecture. Many literati and scholars came here, and the emperor visited this place in person, leaving the reputation of the world's first spring.

There are four villages in the vicinity of the hot springs: east, south, west, and north, among which Quanxi Village is the richest and most populous. There are beauties in Quanxi Village, and the rough men in Xuzhou Mansion are proud to be able to marry a girl from Quanxi Village. However, all of this came to an abrupt end three years ago in the summer.

The tragedy of Quanxi Village began with a piece of red earth. Xuzhou Mansion is close to the mountains and water, the soil is fertile, and any crops can grow well here, but only a piece of land in the north of Quanxi Village does not grow anything, even if it sprouts and then moves to the ground, it will quickly rot. If you can't grow crops, you can build a house, but the house also collapsed, and even a small thatched house can't stand it. It's just that this piece of land is not big, and over time everyone has forgotten about it.

However, suddenly one day, a strong aroma spread in the village, and the fragrance spread for ten miles, and even the city of Xuzhou was incense.

People followed the aroma to find the source, only to find that the barren land had turned red at some point. The bright red color was like a burning flame, and the faces of the people were flushed. The most amazing thing is that nothing grows on this red earth, and this strange fragrance seems to be the smell of the red earth itself.

This incident caused a huge sensation at the time, and everyone wanted to know why the land turned red and why it smelled. Some people say that there is a treasure growing under the ground, but nothing is dug out after digging three feet into the ground, and the hair is all red clay underneath, and the more you go down, the more gorgeous it is.

Before the matter of the Red Land could be clarified, another terrible thing happened. The people of Quanxi Village all fell ill overnight, and their hair, nails, and teeth began to grow wildly, and soon, the whole person's bones were deformed, and the back could not be bent and straightened, and they could only crawl like livestock. Their long teeth pierced the flesh of their faces, and they had lost the ability to speak, and could only let out a beastly roar.

The prefect Xu tried every means to gather Langzhong, hoping to find a way to heal the villagers. But before they could figure it out, their condition deteriorated again, and these monsters began to attack humans, completely dehumanizing, tearing and eating people with their sharp teeth and sharp nails.

The most terrifying thing is that the people who were bitten by them were also infected with the virus and soon became monsters as well.

For a time, the people of Xuzhou Mansion were panicked, as if the end had come.

When the catastrophe comes, the human desire to survive can destroy all humanity and morality. The big squires in the city organized people to throw all the monsters into the village, and a fire burned down the entire Quanxi Village. The fire burned for half a month, and the flames filled the sky, and the mourning was everywhere.

By the time Governor Xu arrived, the fire had already been uncontrollable, but fortunately, the two heavenly masters passed by and begged for rain to extinguish the fire and prevent the tragedy from spreading.

The 3,786 people in Quanxi Village, plus 35 people outside the village, all died in the fire, and none of them survived. The originally rich and beautiful village has become an eerie ghost village, and several squires who took the lead in burning the village have also died tragically in January. The atmosphere of terror was not consumed by the fire, but intensified.

The Heavenly Master said that the 3,000 souls in Quanxi Village were deeply resentful, and they could not be relieved by wandering in the village, which was a debt owed by the 170,000 people of Xuzhou Prefecture, and it could only be dissipated when these 170,000 people died. The two of them could only set up an enchantment and lock the unjust souls in Quanxi Village.

"It's been three years since this happened, and nothing has happened in Xuzhou Mansion in the past three years. But people have lingering palpitations, on the one hand, the fear of corpse poison, on the other hand, the guilt of the three thousand villagers, the people of Xuzhou Mansion are reluctant to mention Quanxi Village anymore, and that place has become a taboo for the people of the city. ”

When the old butler finished telling the story, the room was quiet, and no one spoke for a long time. Such a thing is too heavy, not to mention that the pampered little boy has never seen it, even these generals who fought in all directions have not slaughtered an entire village so cruelly.

Di Ting stood up and walked to the door to breathe, no one could have a deeper fear of fire than him. The fire in memory coincided with the fire in Quanxi, but after the fear was deep sorrow and hatred.

"Don't you have to report such a big incident to your superiors?Why didn't Chu Jing get any news at all?" Su Ying said indignantly, although it was terrible for the villagers to turn into monsters, weren't those who slaughtered the village even more terrifying?

Mo Ying shook his head, "Maybe Chu Jing didn't know, but ...... The law does not hold the public accountable, and there is no way above. "You can't kill the 170,000 people in Xuzhou Mansion in order to avenge Quanxi Village.

Three thousand seven hundred and eighty-six lives is indeed a painful number for a doctor, but what caught the attention of Murong Xiaogongzi was another thing, "Grandpa housekeeper, what kind of aroma did you say?"

The old housekeeper didn't expect her to ask such a question, and stroked his beard and recalled, "Some people say it's pear blossom fragrance, and some people say it's osmanthus fragrance, but I smell like orange peel." ”

Murong Lingfeng tapped the table with his index finger and reached out to probe the old housekeeper's pulse, "Grandpa, do you have a bad voice?"

"Yes, I'm sick, I always feel like there's phlegm stuck here, and I cough a lot. I haven't been cured by a doctor for more than ten years, so I'm used to it. She reminded the old butler that his throat and eyes were itching again, and he turned around and coughed twice, and then turned back with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, the old slave was rude." ”

Murong Lingfeng asked for a pen and paper, and wrote a recipe for the old housekeeper, "Two times in the morning and two times in the evening, it should be fine to drink for seven days, and if you drink two pairs in early spring in March every year, you won't do it again." ”

The old butler hurriedly thanked him.

However, Murong Lingfeng's question was not finished yet, "Grandpa Housekeeper, do you know what shape that red earth is, is it all red, or is there some patterns?"

Now he shook his head, "This old slave really doesn't know." The old man has never been interested in this kind of strange thing, and the old slave didn't inquire much. But it seems that someone has drawn down the scene at that time, and if the doctor needs it, the old slave will ask you to find it. ”

After saying that, the money went in and went out.

"Is there anything wrong with that land?" Yun Mo asked.

"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. Murong Lingfeng smiled proudly, "If I'm not mistaken, that piece of red earth is the legendary Blazing Incense Soil, and what about the underside of the Blazing Incense Soil......"

"There are earth fire spirits. Chu Jin walked in with a yawn, and pulled Di Ting over, "What's the matter?"

Di Ting waved him away and sat down depressedly, "What do you know, I'm reminiscing about the past and paying tribute to my ancestors!"

Chu Jin took a bowl of porridge and drank it, "Do you also pay tribute to the ancestors? The ancestors lived much more comfortably than us, we didn't have time to eat every day, we didn't sleep enough, we didn't have to say anything, and we had to use our brains to figure out the old man's thoughts, alas, I also want to be an ancestor, and I can save my mind when I close my eyes." ”

"What old man?" Di didn't understand.

Chu Jin looked at him faintly, "I suspect that my master is here." ”

"Not here. Di listened to Murong Lingfeng, who went to grab xiaolongbao to eat again, not to mention that this little boy was still looking at his prince, seeing that the prince was not eating well, he stuffed it into his mouth vigorously. The prince really gives face, he eats whatever the little boy stuffs, he usually can't eat a few bites of xiaolongbao, how can he taste so fragrant today?

Chu Jin waved his hand and whispered, "I mean my original master." ”

Di was stunned for a moment, "Venerable Qingya?"

Chu Jin nodded silently, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." But you said that my master didn't come to hug me when he saw me, why did he run?"

Di Ting pouted in disgust, "Still hugging you, if I were your master, I would have to run, how old are you and still so clingy, isn't it disgusting!"

Murong Lingfeng also held the same point of view as Di Ting, this kind of sticky apprentice must not want it. The little boy looked at Yun Mo pitifullyβ€”what if he let me hug me too.

Yun Mo raised his eyebrows - expelled from the division!

"By the way, Master, what kind of blazing incense soil were you talking about just now?" Chu Jin then remembered.

Everyone looked at him with contempt, isn't it just the right thing that you interrupted.

Murong Lingfeng shrugged, "That's just my guess, it just sounds like it, I haven't seen it before." And it's also a mystery whether there is an earth fire spirit under the blazing incense soil. ”

"But didn't the old housekeeper just say that they dug three feet into the ground and didn't find anything?" Song Xiao still felt unreliable.

"How can you find the Earth Fire Spirit after digging three feet. "Murong Lingfeng still has studied this," and according to my speculation, the Earth Fire Spirit should not be under the Blazing Incense Earth. ”

"The Earth Fire Spirit is the hottest thing in the world, and its temperature is not something that ordinary objects can bear, so it makes sense that the land can't grow anything. But Xuzhou Mansion is not ridiculously hot, and even the four seasons are distinct, cold and hot. Most of the time, it's because there's something blocking the heat of the Earth Fire Spirit. Murong Lingfeng explained.

Song Xiao used his brain vigorously, but he didn't come up with a reason, "What is the obstacle?"

"Stupid!" Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but knock his head, "Of course it's water that extinguishes the fire!"

Song Xiao suddenly realized, "You mean those hot springs." ”

Murong Lingfeng nodded, "It's not stupid enough to rotten wood." ”

"But if that's the case, shouldn't the water in the hot springs have been dried up a long time ago? I haven't heard that the water in the hot springs has decreased!" Song Xiao was still a little puzzled.

"Okay," Yun Mo put down the porridge bowl and wiped Murong Lingfeng's mouth with a handkerchief, "Isn't it, we have to take a look too, after eating and leaving, this king really wants to see what the legendary ghost village chief looks like." ”
