Chapter 383: The Evil Thing in the Town
I didn't take a taxi, Bai Chengfeng took me on foot, from the afternoon to the evening, and then I came to a small town at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
It's an old town, with no tall buildings or any new buildings, everything remains the same as it was ten years ago, and the road is full of old people basking in the sun.
But as soon as I walked into the town, I felt very comfortable, the sun seemed to be extra warm, the town was very clean, and there were not even floating spirits in the air.
"This town...... Belong to Longhu Mountain? ”
Such a clean town made me suspicious, and asked Bai Chengfeng on the side.
Bai Chengfeng looked at the signboards and houses on the street, as if comparing them with his memory, and said to me at the same time:
"This town is at the foot of Longhu Mountain, so it will naturally be taken care of by Longhu Mountain, and as for what Longhu Mountain is in charge of, I can't say anything."
I nodded and followed behind Bai Chengfeng.
Walking in the town, we passed by many hotels and inns, but Bai Chengfeng didn't seem to see it, so he didn't go in.
Walking all the way to the old town to the east of town, there are only a few scattered buildings, and the rest are low-rise bungalows.
Bai Chengfeng took me to a bungalow and knocked on the door, and after a while an old man in his sixties and seventies opened the door and looked at us suspiciously.
"Who are you?"
Bai Chengfeng took out a sword spike and said:
"Lao Wang, you don't know me anymore?"
Lao Wang looked at Jian Sui, then at Bai Chengfeng, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and said:
"Yes...... It's Brother Bai, it's really you, you haven't been old for so many years, come in, come in! ”
Lao Wang let us in, the bungalow has a small courtyard, and there is a jujube tree in the yard, but the tree does not grow well, and only a few dates are sporadically produced.
There is also a vegetable garden in the courtyard, planted with some turnips and greens, and a small fence with some chickens and ducks.
Lao Wang took us into the house, made hot tea, and then said:
"I haven't seen you for twenty years, I'm old, I can't imagine that Brother Bai, you are still so young, you are here to go up the mountain this time?"
Bai Chengfeng nodded, patted me, and said:
"The main reason for this visit is to accompany my nephew up the mountain...... Boy, don't call Uncle Wang soon. ”
I smiled and called Uncle Wang, and I was happy that Lao Wang smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"It's good to go up the mountain, it's good to go up the mountain! Lao Wang, I also wanted to go up the mountain when I was young, but the Taoist chief on the mountain didn't accept it at all, alas, ......"
Lao Wang seems to have misunderstood that I wanted to go up the mountain to learn art, but Bai Chengfeng and I didn't explain, this kind of thing is easy to understand.
In order to entertain us, Lao Wang deliberately killed a chicken, and the fragrant stewed chicken was brought to the table, which made my mouth water, and I couldn't help but eat two large bowls after eating instant noodles on the train for several days.
"Eat, eat more, young people can eat, it's so good......"
During the banquet, Bai Chengfeng asked Lao Wang if he had a family over the years, and Lao Wang said that he had a daughter-in-law, but he went back to the village to visit relatives, and he has not come back yet. There are also two sons, who work in the city, and come back to see the old couple several times a year.
Bai Chengfeng ate a chicken leg and said with a smile:
"Very good, Lao Wang, you can be regarded as old and dependent."
After dinner, Lao Wang packed up the west wing room for us to live in, and then said:
"I know that Brother Bai has a lot of ability, but the town has not been peaceful lately, don't go out at night no matter what you hear, and the Taoist chief on the mountain will come down to deal with it in a few days."
After saying that, Lao Wang yawned and went back to sleep.
Bai Chengfeng and I looked at each other, staring at each other, and finally I said first:
"Senior Bai, what did Uncle Wang mean just now, did he mean a man-made disaster, or was there a demon in the town?"
Bai Chengfeng thought for a moment, and then said:
"The people of the town are simple, if there are villains, they will be severely punished, and here is the foot of Longhu Mountain, there is the spiritual light of Longhu Mountain, ordinary demons and evil can't get close at all, and the old man doesn't know it."
"That'...... Shall we go out and have a look? ”
"It's better not to ......"
Bai Chengfeng told me that there are many cultivators and cultivation sects in Shenzhou, and according to the rules of the cultivation world, evil affairs in the area near each sect are under the jurisdiction of this sect by default, and other cultivators generally do not interfere.
If you intervene, it is likely to have a conflict with this sect, and it is said that there are two other sects that have fought because of this.
So let Longhushan handle it himself.
So we went to sleep, and at two or three o'clock in the evening I heard a strange whining sound outside, and the chickens and ducks in the yard were all crowing.
I sat up, but quickly lay down again, and as long as the outside stuff didn't come in, I wouldn't do anything.
The screams of the chickens and ducks soon stopped, and the things in the strange wind seemed to be satisfied, and they soon left with the strange wind.
Early the next morning, I hurriedly opened the door and went out, and Uncle Wang followed me.
The jujube trees have been scraped off a lot of leaves, and the small greens in the vegetable garden have become crooked, but the worst ones are the chickens and ducks in the fence.
Half of the chickens and ducks were killed or wounded, and the remaining half were visibly frightened and cowered in the coop and refused to come out.
The corpses of the dead chickens and ducks were very shriveled, apparently drained of blood, but I couldn't find the tooth marks and blood holes, as if the blood had been sucked out of thin air.
From the corpses of chickens and ducks, I can't feel demonic and evil spirits, which is very strange.
After Bai Chengfeng came out, he looked at the chickens and ducks on the ground, frowned, and asked Lao Wang on the side:
"So many dead, how many days is this?"
Lao Wang was stunned, and then sighed:
"It's been half a month......"
Half a month ago, there was a strange thing in the town at night, there was always a strange wind blowing around the town, but everyone didn't pay much attention to it at first, and it was normal for the wind to blow.
But the strange wind blew bigger and bigger, and soon some people were blown to the roof of the building, and the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks raised outside were also slowly poisoned, and the appetite of the strange wind became bigger and bigger.
At first, he was satisfied with only one hamster or chick, and then he targeted the cats, dogs, chickens and ducks that had grown up, and a week ago it was only one or two, and now it will suck ten or eight at a time, and it is ten and eight in each family.
“…… A week ago, we told the Taoist Elders on the mountain, but the Taoist Chiefs said that there was something on the mountain recently, so let us wait a little longer, and in a few days the Taoist Elders will come down the mountain to collect the demons. ”
After listening to Lao Wang's description, I already have a rough idea of what the strange wind in the town is, this should be a kind of spirit that has not yet been cultivated, and is cultivating with the help of blood food.
Bai Chengfeng sighed and said:
"Wait a few more days, I'm afraid it will be too late then......"
"Thanks to me coming early, I don't know if I'll ever see you again in a few days."
Bai Chengfeng let out a long sigh, and I immediately understood what he meant.
