CHAPTER XX: The Truth II

"Hanshan Gate is not a sect, but a real gate, which fell from the sky more than 100 years ago, because of its unique power, it affected a large area and caused some changes in the surrounding residents. After more than 100 years of evolution, the neighborhood has become a village, although the area is not large, but because of the existence of Hanshan Gate, so the people who know us call us collectively called Hanshan. ”

The woman's expression was calm, and her voice was cold, "The two of us are residents of Hanshan Gate, and we came out this time to take over the task of the village chief, let us investigate the reason for the failure of Wucheng's sacrifice." ”

Cheng Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, "Sacrifice? ”

"That's right!" The woman said lightly: "The strange power of the Cold Mountain Gate does not exist out of thin air, and it needs to replenish a large number of lives every ten years. At the beginning, our Hanshan attacked at will, causing a lot of trouble to the world. We were then approached by other people and signed contracts.

I'm just a pawn, and I don't know anything about it, but I know that the imperial court must sacrifice to a county town with a population of more than 5,000 people every ten years. ”

"The Imperial Court?" Cheng Ming couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait, the court you are talking about, is the court I understand?" ”

"If you're not stupid, it should be the same!" The woman looked at Cheng Ming coldly.

"So you're so blatant? Where did you get the treasure that caused the sand plague? ”

"I don't know!" The woman said confidently: "I never care about these little things!" ”

"Are you sure you put it, I got the news that it was a meteor from the sky!" Cheng Ming was puzzled.

"Ignorance!" The woman pursed her lips disdainfully, "It's just a spell to cast a magic weapon over, what's so strange." ”

Cheng Ming said: "What magic weapon do you know?" ”

"Pearls of Sand!" The woman said: "It's a very practical baby, but the effect is a little slow!" ”

"Unreasonable!" Cheng Ming shook his head and said: "If it is the pursuit of sacrifice, the speed of the sand is obviously very slow, why not just put a fire, there will definitely be more lives to kill!" ”

The woman was stunned: "Who told you that we need human life?" ”

"Hey, didn't you just say you needed to sacrifice?"

"That's right! Sacrifice to the county seat! No people, just the city! The woman emphasized.

Cheng Ming was stunned, "What kind of ghost sacrifice method is this?" Want a city? ”

"You think it's a sacrifice of human life? It's ridiculous! The woman said disdainfully: "If there is such a bloody organization, the imperial court would have sacrificed a large army to exterminate it, how can it be spread to the present!" ”

"Uh-" Cheng Ming suddenly didn't know what to say.

The woman snorted lightly, "The Hanshan Gate needs a city, so we will sacrifice one every ten years, and then give some money to the imperial court to build another one on the original site." Of course, the sand plague will slowly subside in a few years, and the buried city will disappear with it. At that time, as long as some rumors are released among the people, saying that it is a natural disaster, and the imperial court will rebuild, basically no one will care. ”

"This ......" Cheng Ming scratched his head, "Then there's no need to kill me!" ”

"You ruined our plan, who will you kill if you don't kill you?"

The woman sneered: "Is the pearl of sand also in your hands?" Sure enough, it's a good method, and it can easily solve the sand bead that broke out. You're not easy! ”

Cheng Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Hanshan Gate?" What a strange place, where? ”

"You dare to go?" The woman was a little surprised.

"It doesn't hurt to see more while you're young, right? As the old saying goes, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles. How could such a strange thing be let go? Cheng Ming spread his hands.

"Young?"

Looking at the little old man with white hair and white beard, the woman had a cold face, retched twice, and then closed her eyes and ignored Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming screamed tentatively twice, but there was no response at all.

Flashed out of the sealed space.

“book!”

With a soft call, the card album appeared in his hand out of thin air, turned the first page, inserted the card that sealed the woman on it, and muttered: "Dude is old on the outside, young on the inside, what's wrong with white beard and white hair, it's also another trend!" I don't know anything about fashion! ”

He took out the card that sealed the man, and then the whole person disappeared, and reappeared in the next instant.

Cheng Ming touched his chin and inserted the card as well.

"Sure enough, the man is a little more stubborn! It's still a dead brain, and he only said the name of a cold mountain gate, which is completely useless! ”

Close the card album casually, and the card album will disappear directly.

After looking around, there were still a few broken wheels left on the road, and some debris, piled up, obviously being cleaned.

No matter how long it takes to be in the card space, the real world is an instant, Cheng Ming has been in and out twice, and the two escaped soldiers haven't turned the corner yet.

Strange look, didn't care.

took out a card, shook it slightly, and suddenly four or five people appeared in front of him.

Xue Rong looked around blankly, suddenly startled, pointed to the broken carriage, and stammered vigorously, "This, this, this ......"

Several family members looked flustered and subconsciously touched their waists.

Cheng Ming slapped his hand down, and said angrily: "It's all over, what are you excited about!" If you want me to say, if you're okay, you should go to the temple and offer incense. It's only been a day since I came out, and I was attacked twice, the first time I barely escaped, and the second time was even more powerful, if I hadn't saved you, there would have been a few more corpses on that pile of slag! ”

Xue Rong let out a sigh of relief, bowed to the ground, and said gratefully: "Thank you Dao Chang for saving me, and I feel five guilty!" ”

"Alright, alright! Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and fix it, really! Cheng Ming blinked and said with a smile: "I know I'm hungry!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's my negligence, it's my negligence! ”

Xue Rong was also a whole person, and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Didn't you see them all entering the city? Hurry up, hurry up, you go and report a message to your home, and then get me some silver, and we will have a banquet in Sihailou! Tell Madame, I'll go back later! ”

A few family members nodded their heads and ran away in two ways.

A group went home to report the news, and a group went straight to Sihailou to order food.

Cheng Ming and the two of them were in a hurry, they were not in a hurry at all, anyway, the county seat was so big, no matter how far it was, it would not be far away. When you go to the place, you can probably eat it directly.

Although Hanshanmen is a little strange, Cheng Ming is indeed a little curious, but he is not in a hurry, first enjoy the appetite and then say, the world is the biggest eat, and the delicacy is not to be disappointed.

Within a few months of coming to this plane, Cheng Ming found that the food was really good, especially the more famous restaurants, which were all colorful, flavorful, nutritious and delicious, and they were no worse than after.

Some special dishes can even make Cheng Ming recall special ingredients. Quite remarkable.
