Volume 2: The Heart Has a Thousand Knots Chapter 45: Weird
The village of the saint is the most favorite place of fun for the literati and writers of the past dynasties, one of which is naturally because there was a Confucian saint here, and the other is because there is a well here, the name of the well is Zhenlong, it is said that because in that ancient year, there were human monks who slashed the dragon here, the dragon blood fairy qi gathered, and finally condensed out of a fairy pool, there was that the ancient monk could not bear the flow of the fairy liquid, so he hit a well with great magical powers, and poured all the fairy pool divine water into it.
The specific origin of this statement is unknown, but anyone who has drunk the water in this well, whether it is a local or a foreigner, is willing to believe this statement, why is this? Since because of the uniqueness of the water in this well, the water quality is sweet and delicious not to mention for the time being, the most important thing is that it can also detoxify a hundred poisons, which is the conclusion that has been tried by countless people, it is said that there was a person who accidentally ate the broken intestine grass and saw that it was about to pass, but once he drank the water of the Zhenlong Well, he could get out of bed the next day, and he would be alive on the third day.
Because of this deed, Zhenlongjing is famous, countless people come here, whether they drink it or not, they are scrambling to bring it back to their own home, and Zhenlongjing is indeed a miracle, no matter how you use it, anyway, it has never been less.
As for why those literati and writers came here, the main reason is to bring some Zhenlongjing water back to make tea, it is said that the tea boiled with this water is often the immortal products of the immortals, if ordinary people drink a sip, the refreshment is the energy doubled, into the self-cultivation and self-cultivation, retreat can prolong life, it is really a rare divine object.
However, since the ghost baby happened, no one has come here anymore, and what is even more terrifying is that this Zhenlongjing, which has lasted for countless generations, has also dried up.
Today's Zhenlongjing is terriblely silent, except for the huge black rat that occasionally runs by the well, there is no living thing to be seen.
On the steps not far from the well, there was a middle-aged woman staring at this side in a daze, her eyes not blinking, her face black and thin, almost terrifying.
The woman's surname is Li Xinghua, she is forty and four this year, she is a widow, I don't know what she remembers, Li Xinghua suddenly turned hideous, grabbed a handful of stones from the ground and threw them to the Zhenlong Well.
"It's all your damn well that harmed my man, what kind of dragon is not dragon, I think it's almost the same as summoning ghosts."
"My poor son, my mother is sorry for you, you shouldn't have been born in this saint village, otherwise why would you have been killed by the black and white impermanence at a young age."
"Lord Ghost Baby, the woman begs you, can you return my son, I can make you a cow and a horse, you can kill me, kill me."
The woman trembled as she spoke, squatted down violently, buried her head between her legs, and unconsciously swayed her hands as if she had seen a ghost.
"Jinchen, what's wrong with her?" The silence that followed Xiao Jinchen into the village tugged at the corner of the young prince's clothes, and his face turned pale.
"I don't know, let's go take a look."
"If you don't go, you can't do it." Miss An trembled, what is a girl, in the face of such a strange scene, she is afraid, if it weren't for the man she loves by her side, I am afraid that she would have escaped from this saint village long ago.
"It's fine." Xiao Jinchen comforted softly, and then his face became solemn.
To tell the truth, walking here from the gate of the Sage Village, his heart was a little hairy, and along the way, the people he saw in his eyes were either sluggish and silent, or they were like the women in front of him who were crazy and scolding the heavens and the earth, and they were all thin into skin and bones, like skeletons, and terrifying.
The most important thing is that there are many corpses on the street, some are missing arms, some are missing legs, and there are those who have no eyeballs, adults and children, young and middle-aged and elderly, everyone has it, the skin is shriveled, and it seems that there is no moisture, but the smell in the air is not the smell of corpses, but an indescribable aroma, there are many mice, and they are very bold, Xiao Jinchen saw one just now, sitting high on the back of a corpse without legs, seeing Xiao Jinchen looking at it, he also shook his tail demonstratively.
Xiao Jinchen slowly drew his sword with one hand, and hugged Jing Jing tightly with the other, and the two slowly approached the woman's side.
Seeing that it was about to get closer to within one meter, but unexpectedly, the woman who was squatting on the ground suddenly got up, hooked her five fingers, and pounced straight at Xiao Jinchen.
This is not all, Jing Yi's scream is really moving, Rao is Xiao Jinchen's body was shocked, but Jing Yi can panic, but he can't panic, the cicada chirped and the sword buzzed, and a gang qi did not hurt the woman, but just shook her out more than three meters away and stopped.
Li Xinghua seemed to be sobered up by this anger, she looked at the pair of men and women in front of her who were obviously dressed in brocade clothes, tears welled up from the bottom of her eyes, but the tears were left from her cheeks, and they turned red, and her voice was a little anxious.
"Childe, Miss, what are you doing here, but you want to find the town Longjing, I tell you, the well has dried up, you go quickly, leave here quickly, otherwise you will die, you will really die."
"Auntie, we are not here to find Zhenlongjing, we are students of Luyuan in Luoyang County, Luyuan knows, our best academy in Xichu, we are specially here to investigate the changes in your Sage Village, Auntie, can you make it clear, why don't you leave and die?" Xiao Jinchen tried to be as gentle as possible.
Li Xinghua smiled miserably, she pointed to the town of Longjing, there was hatred in her eyes that could not be concealed: "My man was the first to see the ghost baby in the Sage Village, it was on the edge of the dragon well in this town, my man told me at the time that I still didn't believe it, but he died on the third day, and then the well also dried up, from that day on, the ghost baby came out to cry every night, poor my eight-year-old child, left me at a young age."
"Later, people from the government came, and they also said that they were here to help us, I didn't care, so I told them the situation, and then they stayed here at night, but the next day, the next day, they all died, their hearts were dug up, and they were miserable, so you can't stay here, my aunt knows that you have good intentions, but you lost your life, no matter how kind you are, it's useless."
Li Xinghua's words were quiet and pale, Xiao Jinchen's attention was attracted by the so-called Zhenlongjing, Zhenlongjing he knew, Xichu local chronicles have been rewritten, saying that this place is the place where the real dragon in the world fell, the dragon is extremely prosperous, and the well water has not faded for thousands of years, but the local chronicles are different from the legends, according to the local chronicles, there is a natural spring under the town dragon well, as for why it can cure a hundred poisons, it is because the water is mostly herbs, but about the legend that can relieve the poison of intestinal grass, it is apocryphalAt that time, the man suddenly improved, and the lord of Chen Guo, who was obsessed with asking for immortals at that time, was shocked, so he sent someone to bring the person to the palace, only to find that the person was not eating the so-called broken intestine grass at all, just a similar herb.
Ghost baby, Xiao Jinchen still hasn't figured out what this thing is, why can this originally outstanding village become such a hell on earth, it's really puzzling.
For the so-called ghosts and gods in the world, Xiao Jinchen doesn't know how to believe in it, the more books he reads, the more profound his understanding of the world's beliefs becomes, to put it bluntly, it's just to scare himself, especially for martial artists like him, even if there are some unexplainable things, it is also because of the vision of heaven and earth brought by monks to a certain realm, he has always believed in a sentence, the so-called ghost disaster has always been a man-made disaster, so for this ghost baby, he is really curious about what this thing is, he knows that there is a ghost cultivator in this world, I just don't know which one it is at the moment.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, can you tell me what that ghost baby looks like, don't worry, we are all cultivators, even if it is a ghost, we can cut it with a sword, you boldly say."
Li Xinghua didn't speak, but her eyes were confused again, she smiled nervously, extremely harsh, and pointed behind Xiao Jinchen.
"Right there, look, that's the ghost baby, hahahahaha, the ghost baby, the ghost baby."
Xiao Jinchen's face changed when he heard this, anyone who was suddenly pointed behind him would be afraid, not to mention that people are emotional, even if they don't believe it, but in the hint in their hearts, they will always be afraid, and the young prince turned back violently.
But what is there behind him, an ancient well, and there are three rats on the well, with pointed ears and sharp teeth, not so much rats as beasts.
"Ah, what are you doing!" Quiet screamed, the dragon in her hand danced wildly, kicked out without looking, and kicked the woman who pounced again, Li Xinghua looked at it in confusion, and actually fainted.
The scene at this time is actually very interesting, a man who pretends to be strong and a timid woman meet a patient and are frightened by the patient, one who is obviously not afraid of being deceived and the other who is frightened and wants to fight desperately regardless of it, but they are scratching like a cat.
"Stop, stop, the eldest lady has fainted, don't be afraid." Xiao Jinchen hugged the crazy Miss An, and finally calmed Jingyi down.
"Really?" Miss Ann's little hand covering her eyes parted a gap, and her mouth pursed.
"Haha, Jingyi, why are you so cute." Xiao Jinchen inserted the cicada back into the scabbard, brushed away Miss An's chubby hand, and pinched her bun-like face, full of smiles.
"People are scared like this, and you still laugh." Jing Yi stared at the young prince who was making a mistake, a look of dissatisfaction.
"Don't laugh, don't laugh, you heard it just now, you can't stay overnight, then, you go to the town over there first, I'll spend the night here tonight, I want to see what this so-called ghost baby is." Xiao Jinchen pinched the hand that was quiet and relaxed, he held the pretty face, and his voice was soft to the bone.
"I don't want to, I want to stay with you, what's the matter with me, I'm all five products, I can tell you, people's names are Jingyi, Jingyi Jingyi, quiet dependence, since I like you, I have to rely on you for a lifetime, my wish is very small, I just want to accompany you, do nothing, you can't drive people away."
Listening to Miss An's little love words, Xiao Jinchen only felt a tingling on his bones, and hugged the girl tightly in his arms, he looked down at her, quietly closed his eyes, and seemed to know what was going to happen.
Xiao Jinchen smiled and pecked her lightly on the side of her mouth, a little helpless.
"You little sticky cat, don't look at this place, your first kiss can't be gone here, wait a minute."
Quietly snatched out of his arms, and covered his blushing face with a snort.
"You're the little sticky cat, huh."
"Okay, let's not make trouble anymore, say it again, whether you can go back tonight or not, it's too dangerous here, I don't worry about you."
Quietly answered the question, and hugged Xiao Jinchen's arm tightly: "Where you are, I will be there!"
