Chapter 269: The True Image of Five Hundred Years Ago (Part II)
After Agni motioned for the bandit to return to his place and sit down, he sighed and said, "Before handing over the task, let's let the deputy leader of the drunkard tell you the details." ”
The drunkard immediately rubbed his throat. As if to suppress the upwelling wine worms, he swallowed a mouthful of foam and coughed dryly, "Let me tell you a story first." Have you heard of the nine-tailed fox?"
Everyone nodded in unison, the nine-tailed fox is a legend in the mythical world. It is said that it has a thousand-year-old Taoism, and it can transform beautiful women into seductive people. And the women transformed by the nine-tailed fox are all stunning beauties. All the men who saw them willingly gave up a qiē just to get the heart of the beautiful woman, so this is how the derogatory name of the fox spirit came about. It is said that Shang Xun died at the hands of a nine-tailed fox, and that nine-tailed fox is Su Daji, who is still familiar to this day.
"Nine-Tailed Fox...... cough ......" The drunkard picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, probably thinking that it was not too hard, so he drank it all again, cleared his throat and continued: "The legendary nine-tailed fox is a very rare white-haired fox species. They appear every hundred years, taking the form of stunning beauties to seduce men, and then devour their hearts alive, and they must eat nine hundred and ninety-nine hearts. After that, the nine-tailed fox will enter a deep sleep, continue to cultivate in a deep sleep for a hundred years, and then come out again after a hundred years to find a fresh heart, and so on until nine tails grow. ”
The demon spirit shouted, "Boss, this is just a folk myth and legend." ”
Agni stretched out his hand to stop the demon spirit from continuing to speak, and said, "Listen to the deputy team leader." "The nomadic god hits by hand.
The wraith pursed its lips and stopped talking.
The drunkard smiled lightly and continued: "Yes, this is a myth and legend, and it is impossible for these things in mythology to exist in the world. But ......" the drunkard deliberately accentuated his tone. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he said, "There is a file sealed in our dragon soul, which contains a record of the nine-tailed fox. ”
The girl lost her voice and said, "Is there really a nine-tailed fox in this world?"
"Water soft. Agni glared at her. The girl, named Shui Rou, stuck out her tongue. Don't dare to speak again.
The drunkard sighed lightly, picked up a file bag in his hand and said, "This is the information about the nine-tailed fox that the dragon soul has been keeping well. He put down his file bag and asked, "I don't know how many of you have heard of the legend of Qiandu Town?"
A few of the people in the audience looked at each other and nodded, while most of them shook their heads.
The drunkard continued: "In the town of Qiandu, five hundred years ago, many people died overnight, and it is said that the number is close to a thousand. ”
No one spoke, everyone listened. They knew that what the drunkard was going to say must have something to do with the murder and the legendary nine-tailed fox.
The drunkard glanced at Chu Yuan with a meaningful gaze, and then said, "Five hundred years ago, the townspeople of Qiandu Town died for no reason. And the deceased, without exception, all lost their hearts. At first, it didn't go too unnoticed, and only a few people died on the first day. The news was blocked by the government, and there was no chaos caused by the fight. The next day, a dozen more people died. The death was also the loss of a heart, and finally the people of the town began to feel that something was wrong. However, it was also suppressed by the government. On the third day, hundreds of people died overnight. The townspeople were terrified, and some of them were planning to move out of the town for a while, but at this time. The government cordoned off the entire town of Qiandu and several small villages and towns nearby. ”
Shui Rou couldn't help but ask, "What about those townspeople?"
The drunkard shrugged his shoulders and said, "Dead, some of them died inexplicably like the people in front of them." Most of them were set on fire by officials on the grounds of the plague. ”
It may be due to the naturally good motherhood of women. Rose and Shui Rou cried out in unison, "Why?"
Agni shook his head and said, "Maybe the officials don't want this news to leak out, so as not to affect their careers." ”
Rose said angrily: "Can you just kill those thousands of lives for your own benefit?"
Shui Rou also couldn't stop nodding, her expression was very angry.
"Alright. The drunkard quipped, "It's been hundreds of years, and you're not angry now, unless you can find their graves and drag them out and whip them out." ”
Agni Birth stopped, "Alright. Don't interrupt again. Drinker. You continue. ”
The ghost cleared his throat and continued, "After that disaster, Qiandu Town has almost become an empty town, and even the nearby towns have become desolate. Officials at the time reported war and plague to the imperial court, and the imperial court recorded it without much investigation. Because it was a war at that time, there were refugees everywhere, so soon the imperial court pulled a group of people to settle down in Qiandu Town and start a new life. But soon after, the bloody case of the heart reappeared in Qiandu Town, and the townspeople who moved in later thought that it was a ghost who had wronged him and asked for his life, and he was in a panic all day long. It wasn't until later that the Shaolin Temple dispatched thirty-eight monks to Qiandu Town for those wronged ghosts on the grounds of practice, and then Qiandu Town was able to calm down to this day. ”
"Wait a minute, deputy leader. The demon spirit shouted, "You just said that all the people in Qiandu Town are dead, but aren't there still a few families who survive?"
The drunkard explained: "Those families have already moved out of Qiandu Town in between, and later came back to settle down. They only knew that it was the government that burned the town, and they didn't know the true picture of the matter, so they passed it down as a falsehood. ”
Ling suddenly realized: "It's been a long time, and it turns out that it's still fake news." Well, you already know about it, why don't you sue us sooner?"
"Wives. Agni said in a deep voice: "We will talk about these things in a while, now let the deputy team leader finish the matter." ”
"Got it. "The nomadic god hits by hand.
The drunkard continued: "Aren't you very strange, why did Qiandu Town become peaceful after the thirty-eight Shaolin monks went?"
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, except for Chu Yuan. It seems that from beginning to end, Chu Yuan is that expression and that posture.
"Those Shaolin monks are not going to degree, degree is the business of monks, the past thirty-eight people are all warrior monks, and they are all the most outstanding martial arts monks in the Shaolin Temple at that time. The drunkard picked up the teacup, and then there was no tea in the cup, so he unceremoniously took the teacup placed in front of the fire and drank it all before saying: "At that time, after receiving a request from the officials of Qiandu Town, the Shaolin Temple decided to touch the thirty-seven warrior monks led by Master Puci of the Dharma Hall to rush to Qiandu Town overnight. ”
As soon as Rose opened her mouth, the drunkard immediately said, "Don't say it, I know what you want to say." The Shaolin Temple is not doing things for the imperial court. They just have mercy on the innocent people. ”
Rose pursed her lips and stopped making a sound. The nomadic god hits by hand.
"And the rumor that the Shaolin monks came to Qiandu Town for the unjust ghost was also spread by the government, anyway, everyone thought it was a ghost asking for his life. And they pushed the boat with the current. As soon as the thirty-eight monks arrived in Qiandu Town, they launched a sleepless investigation with the cooperation of the government. They quickly found their way and tracked it down. But the murderer is very cunning, and every time he is about to get close to the answer, all the clues are cut off out of thin air. These Shaolin monks and this murderer who never showed up just kept playing hide and seek, and they stayed for half a month. Until an accident. It was only then that they revealed the true face of the murderer. The drunkard opened the previous file and said, "In the forest on the south side of the current Hunting Mountain, there used to be a small village. In this village, people usually bring the dry food they grow to the nearby towns in exchange for daily necessities. Because they have lived in that village for generations, they are also familiar with people in nearby towns. But one day, a guy from a medicinal herb shop came to report to the official. Because they have a long-term relationship with the people in the village, there are several families in the village who grow some medicinal herbs for them. But that time had passed the agreed delivery time for several days, and there was still no one in the village to deliver the goods, so the owner of the medicine shop asked the guys to go into the mountains to find them to urge the goods. But when the men got there, there was not a single living person in the whole village. It's all dead bodies. The man was so frightened that he immediately ran out of the mountain to report the crime. The Shaolin monks then went into the mountain with the government. When they got there, they realized that the people of the village had been dead for a long time. The corpses were almost rotten. The guy was so scared that he didn't tell the bodies were decomposing. After examination, it was concluded that the men had been dead for at least five months. The people of Shaolin Temple thought that the murderer was likely hiding in this mountain, and asked the government to search the mountain, but this search found a big problem. ”
"The murderer was indeed hiding in the mountain, but when they found the murderer, they found out. It turned out that this murderer was not human at all. It's ......" The drunkard looked at Chu Yuan and said word by word: "Nine-tailed fox." ”
