Chapter 11: Sinners

The bright yellow flag seems to depict a dragon, lifelike, ready to come out, and the flag looms on the back of the old beggar, which looks very mysterious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The jet-black trident glows with black light, giving people a chilly feeling, exuding a gloomy aura, which makes people a little creepy.

Although the golden swastika gives people a peaceful feeling, there is also a strong will in the heart, wanting to force you to surrender to it.

What do these three patterns mean? Why did it appear on the back of an old beggar?

"It's a mark? Brand? Liu Yi touched his chin and muttered.

"That's right, it's a brand! It is the imprint of the verdict! The old beggar heard Liu Yi's muttering and said loudly.

"Convicted? What the hell is going on? Liu Yi hoped that the old beggar would tell him the reason in detail.

"I don't know the specifics, old man, I only know that those who are marked like this are sinners! or a relative who has sinned and been implicated. The old beggar said.

"Everyone here has this imprint on their bodies!" As he spoke, the old beggar opened the back of his little granddaughter, and sure enough, Liu Yi and the others also saw these three marks on the little girl's body.

"Actually, my granddaughter and I are not from here, but we just begged here along the road, who knows that after staying for a long time, we have been infected with this brand!" The old beggar sighed and said with some grief.

Liu Yi suddenly felt that no wonder the old beggar persuaded them to leave as soon as possible and not stay in this town for long, because he was afraid that they would also be branded as sinners.

But can the stigma of a sinner be contagious? It's not a plague or something.

"It's him, this person, who bought my bun with spirit stones!" At this time, a group of people appeared on the street, blocking Liu Yi and others at the main entrance of the dilapidated General's Mansion.

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows, what is the situation, looking at the menacing posture of this group of people, it seems that something not very good is about to happen.

"Is that him?" A few people pointed at Liu Yi and looked at the owner of the bun shop and asked.

"Yes, it's him, the one who uses the spirit stone." The owner of the bun shop nodded vigorously.

After that, several strong men rolled up their sleeves and walked up.

Damn, what's this for? Want to fight? Liu Yi's eyelids jumped, and he didn't know what the hell this was about.

"Take them all back!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and it was like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up a thousand waves, and more and more people echoed it.

"Nghe An, if something happens later, you can take Shuang'er and Dream Savor first, and I'll follow later." Liu Yi stopped in front of the three of them and said to Guang Yi'an.

"Good!" Guang Yi'an nodded, came to Yu Yueshuang and Jiang Bangmeng's side, and pulled them up and ran away whenever something was wrong.

Although they are monks, they have no problem dealing with such ordinary people, but they don't want to make trouble, so it's better to leave here.

More than a dozen big men slowly approached in an arc-shaped encirclement, and it seemed that they were planning to take down Liu Yi and the others.

Liu Yi put on a posture and was ready to fight, they were all ordinary people, and he decided to stun them.

Knock knock!

At this time, there were three rapid sounds of wooden sticks hitting the ground from the back of the crowd.

The crowd gradually quieted down, and a road split in the center, and an old man with white hair and old age spots on his cheeks walked out on crutches.

"Old mayor!" Some of the strong men turned their heads and looked at the old man, and the fierce expression on his face became respectful, and he saluted respectfully.

"You guys are fooling around! Uh-a-hah, uh-huh, uh-huh, ......" The old man slammed the ground with his cane, and said loudly, and finally couldn't help coughing a few times, obviously feeling sick.

"Old mayor, we ......" The strong men lowered their heads one by one in embarrassment, obviously realizing their mistakes.

The old man walked over with a cane and trembling step by step, passed over the strong men, and then raised his head as much as possible to look at Liu Yi on the steps in front of the general's mansion.

Liu Yi saw that the old man's eyes were full of turbidity, no longer clear, and he seemed to be in tears often.

He hurriedly walked down the steps and asked the elders to look up at the juniors, that was a kind of injustice, even in a world where the strong are respected, Liu Yi felt that he still had to respect the elders.

Liu Yi walked down the steps and stood on an equal level with the old man, but the old man's figure was really rickety, and he was still a lot shorter than Liu Yi. So Liu Yi also bent down slightly to show his respect.

The old man slowly looked up at Liu Yi, then opened his mouth and nodded, probably understanding what Liu Yi meant, and expressing his respect for Liu Yi in his heart.

"A few young heroes, I'm really sorry, these stinky boys are impulsive. They shouldn't welcome their guests like that. The old man explained, apologizing for what had just happened.

"It's okay, it's just an old man, can you please explain to me what's going on?" Liu Yi said humbly.

"I'm the mayor of this town, and decades ago, there was no mayor here, and the army was in charge of the town, but it was only later that the army left, and everyone decided to elect the mayor to run the town."

The old man said, and then sighed again, "Alas, you come with me first, this matter is a long story, if it is convenient, please also invite Xiaoyou to the house to talk about it." ”

The old mayor opened his mouth to invite Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked at Yu Yueshuang and the others, thought about it, and finally agreed, he was also a little curious about what happened in this town, how did it become like this? Sinner? Brand?

"Little brother, then you can go, but I want to warn you, old man, don't easily agree to do things that are beyond your ability!" Before leaving, the old beggar admonished.

"Thank you!" Liu Yi nodded to the old beggar, according to the old beggar's statement, staying in this town for less than three days will not be affected by the brand, so Liu Yi decided to stay and take a look.

Liu Yi and the four of them followed the old mayor to a fairly grand mansion, but when they entered it, they found that it only looked magnificent on the outside, and it was also full of barren scenes.

The paths were overgrown with weeds, the flowers and trees had not been taken care of for a long time, and the roads were filthy, with withered leaves and broken branches.

"Sit down first, and I'll make you some tea." The old mayor led the four of them to the hall, which was full of old furniture, and there was no servant to serve them, so the old mayor had to do it himself.

And the others were blocked by the old mayor at the door of the courtyard wall, not letting them in, for fear that they would be troubled.

Soon, the old mayor came back with a pot of tea, poured tea into the four white porcelain teacups, Liu Yi took the teacup, and the cracks on the white porcelain teacups were obvious.

"Alas, the whole town is out of luck, and no one wants to do anything anymore, so I have to do everything myself." The old mayor explained.

"Old mayor, what happened to this town?" Liu Yi took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and asked.

"Alas! Our town has been abandoned! Abandoned by God! The old mayor sighed again.

Forsaken from above? What does this mean? Liu Yi was puzzled.

"Decades ago, our town was thriving, and there was an army stationed here all year round, so we didn't have to worry about thieves and goblins. However, one day, during a sacrifice at the end of the year, someone overthrew the tribute and angered Tianwei! Therefore the heavens have punished the whole town! ”

Soon after, the lord of the people ordered the army to withdraw and abandon the town. Since then, the town has often been infested by youkai, and we have asked for help several times, but we have not been able to get help. As he spoke, the old mayor's eyes became cloudy.

"Punished by heaven? The lord of the people ordered the army to withdraw? Liu Yi touched his nose.

The situation in this seems to be a bit complicated, the human lord is the strongest person in heaven and earth, what else can he be afraid of? Even if it's providence, you dare to fight, right? Why fear a trumped-up divine punishment?

Thump!

Suddenly, the old mayor knelt down.

Liu Yi was startled, and hurriedly helped the old mayor up, and said, "Old mayor, what are you doing here?" I can't afford it. ”

"Young man! Please save our town! The old mayor pleaded, his voice choked.

Liu Yi smiled bitterly, and finally knew why the owner of the steamed bun shop was so excited when he saw the spirit stone, it turned out that he saw a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could save them as a monk.

However, how can he contend with things that even the master of man is afraid of?

"Old mayor, there is nothing anyone can do, what can I do as a minor monk?" Liu Yi was a little embarrassed.

"It's not for the young man to fight these imprints and lift the curse of our town. I just hope that the young man can get rid of the nearby monsters for us! The root cause of our real difficulty in surviving is the infestation of these monsters! The old mayor said with some excitement, holding Liu Yi's arm tightly with both hands.

"Demon slayer?" Liu Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, he was just a little monk who had just debuted, and he had more than enough to beat ordinary people, if he got rid of demons, he was afraid that he had more than enough heart and not enough strength, right?

Moreover, promising to eliminate demons for this cursed town, there is no cause or effect involved. The old mayor must have paid for other monks as well, but when they learned about the situation in the town, they probably refused.

Otherwise, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can still solve the problem of being infested by monsters, but no monk is willing to take orders, and they are afraid of being implicated.

"Old mayor, please forgive me for not being able to do anything." Liu Yi was a little embarrassed and excused himself, he felt that it was important to hurry up at the moment, try not to cause more trouble, and he also brought three people with him, and he was responsible for them.

"Young man! Please, save us! The old mayor was about to kneel down again, but was pulled by Liu Yi.

"Young man, please save us!" At this time, the crowd crowded at the main entrance of the old mayor's mansion knelt down one after another, asking Liu Yi to help them eradicate the demon plague.

"This ......" Liu Yi was very embarrassed, and looked at Guang Yi'an, Yu Yueshuang and Jiang Bangmeng.

"I followed you, and I came out to practice, and this kind of opportunity is quite rare." Ngai Ann stated.

Yu Yueshuang and Jiang Bangmeng didn't speak, but Liu Yi knew that Yu Yueshuang, the little girl's temperament, probably also agreed to stay and help eradicate the monsters, she was a soft-hearted girl, as for Jiang Bangmeng, she went with the flow and didn't have any opinions.

In that case......

"Boy, this is a favor, it's best not to follow lightly, the cause and effect in this...... Not what you can imagine. As soon as Liu Yi was about to promise the old mayor, the voice of the sword soul came into Liu Yi's mind.

As a result, Liu Yi became hesitant again.
