Chapter Eighty-Five: Evil Daoist
I hurriedly asked, "Senior, what happened after that made the whole town empty and you were the only one?" ”
I don't know if the energy of the past is too terrible for him to dare to recall, the old mayor pondered for a while, sighed, and said eloquently: "At that time, a group of them lived in the old house, and they were also kind and kind-hearted, so they were not guarded. www.biquge.info I don't know why, but in the evening, the wife of the blacksmith in the town came to say that her husband's hand was very badly injured, and he didn't know how he was smashed when he was striking iron. I didn't notice it before, after all, the blacksmith is indeed prone to injury, but why is the king blacksmith so careful, he has never seen him injured in decades of ironsmithing, why was he injured that night? At that time, we were having dinner, and saw that Wang Blacksmith's wife was running very quickly, I thought it should be that the injury was not light, I am the mayor of this Tangxi Town, and the only doctor, so which family in the town is injured or sick will come to me to see, although I am not good at medicine, but I can still cope with small injuries and illnesses, if I am too sick, I will be sent to Yancheng where to find a doctor. At that time, we put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed, and the Taoist priests said that they also studied medical skills when they usually practiced, and they were quite accomplished, so they could help to take a look. I thought it would be a good thing to have someone who knew how to heal, so I went together. When he arrived at the king's blacksmith's house, he found that his left palm was injured by a hammer, and it seemed that even his muscles and bones had been broken, and the injury was very serious, and he would be crippled if he didn't do it. This kind of hard injury can only be temporarily healed with yam wrapping to see if there is a chance to connect the damaged tendons and veins to recover. But the Taoist priest who came after me came forward and said that he had a way to completely heal the damaged hand of the blacksmith, and he said it very confidently and sincerely, not like a lie, and the blacksmith Wang seemed to be in great pain, so he decided to let the Taoist priest try, no matter what, everyone else was for the good of the blacksmith. Then the Taoist priest said that the scene might be a little disturbing when he was treated, and hoped that we would avoid it, and we didn't think much about it, so we temporarily withdrew from the house, and soon heard a few miserable cries of the king blacksmith from inside the house, and everyone panicked all of a sudden, and was ready to rush in to see what was going on, but they were stopped by the Taoist priest guarding outside the house, and they said that it would be fine, let us believe them. I think since it was in our town, it seemed that they didn't dare to kill them directly in front of everyone, so they didn't break down the door and rush in. Not long after, I saw the Taoist priest come out, wiped his forehead and said that it was cured, and he looked a little tired, it seemed that it took a lot of effort, I don't know how much strength this kind of smashing will take to treat, but since he said that it has been healed, I am very surprised, this kind of injured tendons and veins can be completely healed in a short time, that is really the ability of the reincarnation of the gods. I wasn't convinced, so I was the first to rush in. ”
Speaking of this, the old mayor paused for a moment, as if he had just said that it was too fast and needed to be slowed down, and I wanted to know what I saw when I went into the house, but I didn't dare to urge, so I had to wait for him to slow down.
The old mayor eased his tone to calm his trembling voice just now, and said, "After rushing in, I saw that Blacksmith Wang's hand was actually reconciled as before, and there was no sign of injury, not even a scar, but a trace of black line in the palm of his hand. This seems to me to be very incredible, because as a normal person, this behavior is beyond the scope of my understanding, this is not a realm that ordinary medical skills can reach, although I am only a small town mayor, and I am not a famous doctor, but I have also visited today's imperial doctors, and they have learned medical skills, no one has ever been able to reach this realm, so I was a little skeptical of this Taoist priest's treatment methods, but he did treat the hands of the king blacksmith, if you ask face to face, I was worried that the townspeople would say that I could not do anything to heal Blacksmith Wang's injuries and that I would ask someone who could heal me and say that I was jealous, so I didn't ask, but just said why Blacksmith Wang's palm had black marks and his face didn't look good. The Taoist priest replied at the time that the black marks on the palm were bad blood, harmless to the body, and would disappear in a few days. ”
"It shouldn't be that simple!" Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt and asked.
The old mayor of Zhu Ziliu did not blame me for interjecting, nodded, and continued: "At that time, his answer was not much of a problem, although I had doubts in my heart, but I couldn't say it clearly for a while, so it was not settled at that time. The next day, the group of Taoist priests said that they had rested, thanked us for our hospitality, and left. But when they left, I felt like they were laughing, and I don't know exactly what it was, and I suspected that I was dazzled, because the smile was very weird. For a moment, I thought maybe I was dazzled by my suspicions last night. But there are strange things that continue to happen in the back, the villagers are always inexplicably injured, and the origin of these injuries is very strange, either they are accidentally burned when boiling water, or they are burned when they make a fire, and they are accidentally injured when they go to the field, these are very weird, everyone has lived for so long, these farm work has been done for more than ten years or even decades, why is this situation suddenly appearing in groups now. Whenever I go to help them with treatment, they always flicker, saying it doesn't matter, but I see that they are all very badly injured, and then they don't know where to get some ointments to apply them, and they all get better very quickly, which makes me very strange, who is selling these ointments? The medical skills are truly remarkable, and they can configure, such a magical thing. I went to ask the people who had used it, they all said that it was the king blacksmith's house, I was a little curious, so I went to find the king blacksmith, but the king blacksmith immediately denied it, so I went to find those injured people to confront the king blacksmith, but I didn't expect that the person who told me before that it was taken by the king blacksmith also denied it, and said that I was not too worried, I was a little confused, why suddenly I felt that the character of the residents of this town had become so fast, and it had become so much, I felt that those old friends who had lived with me for decades had become very strange. “
"What the hell is going on? Why did it sound like the elders were evil in the town, first the innocent people were injured, then the magic came, and then the temperament changed drastically, what happened in it? I asked, puzzled.
The old mayor continued to answer: "I also did not understand at the time, but I could not find the reason, but I found that the people of the town came back later and later after their work at night, although there are no guards in the town, because we have always been very peaceful here, but there will still be one or two who are in charge of the sentry post, but they are all gone during the day, I suspect that everyone is busy with farm work, so I don't pay much attention, but I found that everyone came back at a very good time, and there was no trace of farm work on their bodies, and what is even more strange is how your blacksmith shop went to the ground, and how did you sell breakfast and open a shop go to the field, and they don't do business anymore." ? And everyone was very tired when they came back, they all came back together and didn't speak, and they went back separately when they came back, so I couldn't find anyone to ask. Later, I really couldn't help it, I got up at the gate of the town at night to see what time they got up, but the five watch was not enough, the people in the town got up and set off, and walked towards the farmland, I quietly followed behind, and found that everyone was actually going to listen to the Taoist priest who came to our town to stay for one night in the preaching, everyone was fascinated, and listened very seriously, and after listening, the Taoist priest would take out some dry food from the backpack for everyone to eat, and after eating, take a knife to cut their palms, Then there was black blood oozing out, and I didn't know what they were doing, but I thought it wasn't going to go on like this, and the whole town would be ruined, so I rushed out to stop it. ”
"Did it work?" I looked around for a moment, then sighed and said, "Hey, how could such a weird thing happen?" "I knew I couldn't stop it, otherwise the town wouldn't be what it is.
"Nope!" The mayor shook his head and said, "I was pushed hard by two Taoist priests, but those residents I once knew and were familiar with turned a blind eye, and were still very devout listening to the Taoist priest's preaching, I can basically judge from their rituals that they are cult Taoists, when I went to Yancheng before, I heard that there are some cults in this world, which specialize in confusing people's hearts, they have very evil rituals, through these rituals, you can enhance your own skills, and turn people into terrifying puppet monsters, I think they must be part of the cult, They must have unleashed the evil magic on the townspeople, that's why the guys are like this. I don't know why he did this magic to the whole town, but he didn't deal with me, they just warned me not to meddle and left the place where he had lived for ten years or even decades with the inhabitants. ”
"Senior, where did they go? Where did the townspeople go with them? It is said that there are so many people, walking together will definitely be very eye-catching, and these people will definitely not just target Tangxi Town, they will carry out an evil magic when they go to one place! I asked.
At this time, the old mayor couldn't help the sadness in his heart, and his voice carried a hint of crying, and said: "Indeed, as you said, they will carry out such evil magic every time they go to a place, they will not take those people away, but will suck up their blood and essence, let them become the living dead, and then directly throw their corpses into the wilderness, those who are abandoned do not die, but become monsters." ”
"Turned into a monster?" I was surprised, it seems that these Taoist priests are a bit like vampires, but the corpses of vampires become dried corpses after sucking blood, what is the living dead monster that the old mayor is talking about?
