Chapter 16

By the time I saw the torches, the east had turned white.

Seeing them come out, the guards hurriedly threw over the two clothes and bags as instructed, Xie Roujia and the king of Dongping County changed their respective clothes, threw the clothes they took off and burned them, and then walked to everyone.

The two guards held the flasks, and the two of them took them and drank them.

Xie Roujia stuck out her tongue and coughed again and again.

King Dongping reached out and patted her back.

"What do you want to do? I see that this miasma is violent, and there are more and more miasma scattered. He said.

Xie Roujia calmed down a few breaths and looked back at the mountains and forests.

"Your Highness, how can people be so bad?" She said.

"The wickedness of the human heart is unfathomable." The king of Dongping said, "This is why some witch creators are disgusted, but Wu Qing Niangniang can be worshiped as a god." ”

Xie Roujia nodded.

"Your Highness is right, some witches must be rejected." She said.

The voice fell, and I heard a scolding from the front.

"What people!"

These are two scolds.

Xie Roujia's ears pricked up.

"Brother An!" She shouted.

Footsteps sounded, and someone ran over from one place, standing in front of Xie Roujia, although he didn't speak, but the torches around him shone with a surprise on his face.

"You're here?" Xie Rouqing's voice also came.

Xie Roujia looked over and saw Xie Rouqing walking over with Shui Ying on crutches.

"Why are you here too?" Xie Roujia asked.

"The miasma of the mountain people fled to the side of the mine, and there were quite a few of them. I had arranged for them to be surrounded, and I had heard that the nearby villages had been invaded, so I came to look for them. Xie Rouqing said, looking behind Xie Roujia, "Is it really here?" ”

Knowing that the mountain people were poisoned, she naturally knew how terrible the miasma was, and she even kept looking for it.

Now is not the time to be happy, of course, she is not afraid of this miasma, but Xie Roujia's heart is a little sour and hot, and she feels like crying and laughing.

What a good girl. What an honest and brave lowly miner. In their previous lives, they died early.

When the Xie family was wiped out and the men, women and children were dragged to beheaded, they resented the unfair fate and resented the ancestors for not protecting them. Do you know that those who could have protected them have been destroyed by themselves?

Wu Qing Niangniang's reputation must be maintained. And the witch must be rejected.

Xie Roujia raised her head and took another long sip of wine. handed the wine jug in his hand to Xie Rouqing.

"Drink." She said, "Come on, everybody drink." ”

Xie Rouqing was stunned. Can drinking alcohol drive away miasma?

She reached out and took the wine jug, the king of Dongping County signaled to the guards, and An Ge Yu and Shui Ying were also handed the wine jug.

"Drink." Xie Roujia said loudly.

Xie Rouqing and the three of them all took a sip.

This is a specially prepared liquor, and suddenly there was a cough, Brother An was fine, Xie Rouqing coughed twice, and Shui Ying spit it out.

"It's not tasty at all." She said.

Xie Roujia smiled and took the wine jug from the hand of the king of Dongping County, and raised his head again to drink.

"Drink..."she said, and before she finished speaking, she was reached out and taken back by the king of Dongping County.

"Drinking alcohol can fight miasma, but when you are drunk, night sweats are frequent, and evil winds are easy to invade, so you are prone to miasma." He said gently.

Xie Roujia smiled.

"I'm happy." She said.

Glad?

"You've found the miasma, has it been cleared?" Xie Rouqing asked.

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"Nope." "And I'm not going to clear it." ”

Xie Rouqing was stunned.

"Why?" She said, and then thought of her body in order to teach herself the scriptures and fell asleep for two days, "Don't worry, you take care of your body first." ”

Xie Roujia smiled.

"I'm fine." She said, turned around and stood side by side with Xie Rouqing and looked at the mountains and forests that were gradually revealing light in the distance, the night mist was steaming and thick, with a bit of immortal aura, but there was no immortal in it, but there was an evil hidden.

"This miasma is raised by people." She said.

Xie Rouqing looked stunned.

"Xie Rouhui?" She said, then indignant, "How could she do such a thing? The miasma harmed countless people, they had no grievances with her, and they did not block her path or harm her interests! ”

"But they can be used by her as a stepping stone." Xie Roujia said, "She wants to use them to blame you and me." ”

Xie Rouqing looked at her.

"What does she want to do?" She asked.

"The rules of the Xie family, the beliefs of the people, there is only one big witch in the land of Pengshui, and everyone else is disobedient when they come here to practice witches." Xie Roujia said, "She must say that this miasma is because you and I are doing something wrong in Yushan to cause the mountain god to be angry." ”

"Then why don't you just use Da Da to expel the miasma?" Xie Rouqing said, and the words were silent.

In the previous Dan Nu dispute, the two sisters could fight witches in public, but now the elder sisters have been decided, one is the Dan master, and the other has bid farewell to the ancestors of the Xie family and become other women.

Other women, the Xie family will never give her a chance to perform witch blessings, and there are enough reasons to get rid of her in public, even if she is the princess of the county, because everything will be deduced as the punishment of the gods.

To jump or not to jump?

Jumping, even if it succeeds, it is very likely to be burned to death on the spot by the people instigated by the Xie family.

If you don't jump, this miasma condensed in the mountains and forests will never dissipate by itself, but will only grow bigger and bigger, covering this piece of heaven and earth.

To jump, or not to jump?

…………………………………………………

Blazing torches illuminated the door of the Xie family's mansion, and the sound of horses' hooves broke the quiet street.

There was a long queue in front of the door, and the little guys in big red robes raised their horns and blew them with an order.

The whining sound resounded through Pengshui City.

The sleeping people got up in panic, listened to the continuous sound of horns, and began to diffuse the aroma of wormwood between their noses.

"There's a plague!"

"There's a plague!"

This warning of the coming plague has not been seen in person for years, and many people have heard it from the word of mouth of their elders.

When there is a furious plague. Xie Jiawu numbered.

Mugwort incense spreads all over the sky and rises high on the Yu Mountain.

There was no chaos, no war, and there was even a plague.

The entire Pengshui City was stirred, the adults shouted and the children cried, and countless people poured out of their homes in disheveled clothes to gather at the Xie family's mansion.

"Is there really a plague? How can there be a plague? ”

The county magistrate was once again pulled up from the bed and buttoned up the official robe, the last time it was the ground that almost cost half a life, and this time it was a plague again.

Plague, or miasma, that's four or five out of ten dead. And you don't even have to touch it. You can get sick between breaths.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, Lord Dan will personally go to Yushan to ask the gods to expel the evil and protect the people of Pengshui." The elders of the Xie family said.

This kind of god-to-god chatter. Is it going to work?

The county magistrate, who was born as a scholar, only felt sweating profusely. This time, I really regret coming to this southwestern wilderness as an official.

Of course. This kind of wilderness does not refer to the kind of Lingnan, the country of Bashu Tianfu, with salt and sand. But I really hate these kinds of existences that don't obey the discipline of the religion.

"Then there will be Lord Lao Dadan, and this official will gather soldiers in the city to make a strong reputation." The prefectural order plastic surgery said.

"Then how can it be done, my lord, the court officials, the stars in the sky and the earth, of course, you must go together in person to be powerful." The elders of the Xie family said categorically, and without saying anything, they ordered, "Prepare a car for your lordship." ”

Let's just say that I hate these people the most! Take the people to coerce at every turn! It's just that these people are still so obedient!

The prefectural magistrate shouted in his heart that he was picked up and stuffed into the car.

The main entrance of the Xie family's mansion was wide open.

"The Great Dan is the Lord."

With a shout, a carriage drove out of the gate, and Xie Rouhui was dressed in a Dan lord dress and sat on it upright.

"Lord Great Dan!"

The people gathered in front of the door immediately shouted in panic.

"Megumi!" Xie Wenchang broke free from the person who was pulling him and rushed over, and the light of the torches in the sky turned pale, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Xie Rouhui in the car turned her head to look at him and smiled slightly.

"Of course, it is to drive away evil spirits, calm the anger of the mountain gods, and protect the people." She said.

Xie Wenchang looked at her and suddenly knelt down.

"Huihui, Rouqing was bewitched by Miss Roujia, it has nothing to do with us, we were also forced." He said.

Xie Rouhui smiled.

"yes." She said, "Second uncle, don't worry, I know everything, that's why I want to expel the evil spirit." ”

Say no more, retract your gaze and look ahead.

The night is fading.

It has been many years since a fire has been erected on Yushan, and she has only seen the deeds of expelling and burning those witches who came to Yushan to do evil.

It's been too long, it's been a long time, it's time to light another fire to deter these wolf ambitions.

Watching the chariots and horses roar away, Xie Wenchang fell to the ground like dead ashes.

"Master, master, what should I do?" Shaw cried and knelt beside him, "With Miss Roujia here, it must be okay, right?" ”

"Miss Roujia, even if she can't get the rights of the Xie family, then she can be a princess of the county well, how could she take the initiative to send her to death." Xie Wenchang said.

"What about Rouqing, she can teach Rouqing and let Rouqing come, Rouqing is a member of the Xie family, as long as Rouqing can expel the plague, it proves that they are not filthy or evil." Shaw cried.

Xie Wenchang looked at her.

"Are you stupid?" He Mumu said, "Rouqing, she is a cripple, she can play the drums, she can step a little sand, but she can't dance." ”

Da Da can't be done by playing drums alone, Shaw fell to the ground and covered his face and wept.

"You're stupid, Miss, you're not stupid." Xie Wenchang muttered, looking ahead, the people of the carriage and horses had already gone far away, and they could only hear the noise, "Cripple, if you had died, there would have been so much to do." ”

…………………………………………….

"No, no, I'm not afraid to die." Xie Roujia said, looking at the brighter and brighter mountains and forests, "Besides, I jumped and expelled the plague, how could I obediently let them burn me, I just ran away, it's a big deal that I won't come back for the rest of my life." ”

Xie Rouqing smiled.

"It's just that she can't be so cheap." Xie Roujia said, "She got her wish when I died, and she got her wish when I ran away, I will never let her get her wish in this matter, she can raise miasma and use the people to deal with us, and we can naturally use miasma to deal with her." ”

The smile on Xie Rouqing's face froze, and she reached out to grab Xie Roujia.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked.

Xie Roujia turned her head to look at her.

"I know that if you don't do this, Xie Rouhui will do it too, you can afford it, but the people can't afford it." Xie Rouqing said, stretching out her hand and pointing at the mountains and forests, "If the miasma does not dissipate for a day, it will hurt people for a day, and the lives of those injured people are at stake, if you can do it immediately in order to deal with her, and deliberately let it go, Xie Roujia, what is the difference between you and Xie Rouhui?" ”

Xie Roujia looked at her and smiled.

"No, I'm not letting it go." She said, "I don't jump, you can't jump, it doesn't mean we don't care, we still have others to jump." ”

Others?

Xie Rouqing was stunned, Xie Roujia's eyes looked behind her, and Xie Rouqing also turned around to look over.

As the sky grew brighter, the torches had been extinguished, and An Ge Yu and Shui Ying stood behind, still carrying wine jugs in their hands.

Seeing them coming, Shui Ying was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised the wine jug to her mouth.

"I'm drunk." She said.

Xie Roujia smiled and stretched out her hand to wave at her.

Shui Ying hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief and jumped away, and Brother An fell into Xie Roujia's sight.

Perhaps because of her gaze, Brother An's body was stiff and a little cramped, but he still stood steady and did not move a step.

"She doesn't treat people as human beings." Xie Roujia said, "Then let her know what a person is." ”

Man, the most precious person in heaven and earth, is not a plaything that you can trample on at will. (To be continued......)
