Chapter 715: Different Ways to Enter (4,000 Words)
When they returned, sure enough, the strange man was still sitting there very indifferently, having already expected their return.
Du Bai had been closing his eyes and concentrating, and only after noticing that their breath was approaching did he slowly open his eyes, and smiled slightly after seeing this line of familiar figures: "Sure enough, I'm back." ”
He had already sensed that the proximity of these living people had probably attracted the attention of the evil god entrenched in Suwon Village.
Including the heat of the weather, the sudden rainstorm, all of them are just various conspiracies to lead them to Suwon Village.
This is not a difficult task for an being who may have the power of an immortal.
Even now, when I think about it, when I passed by this place with Wanmiao in the past, the storm I suddenly encountered may also be the strategy of the evil god.
If it weren't for the abnormality he showed at that time to attract the attention of the other party and put all his energy on himself, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Su family and his party to get out of Suwon Village alive.
The eldest brother looked at him with confidence, although he still felt strange in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't help but have some respect, when he was a strange person who did not show the dew.
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "This gentleman is really clever, it's already raining, I'm afraid this mountain road can't be rushed, we decided to go to Suwon Village to avoid it for the time being, why don't we go together?" ”
Du Bai got up again, nodded and said, "It's okay." You should be careful when you walk the rivers and lakes. ”
He calmed down and recalled it just now, and he could be considered to have figured it out, and he no longer wondered what they did.
It's just a pity that these people really haven't been able to escape the covetousness of the evil god.
Since these dart masters accepted him, their attitude was not as cold as before, and they took the initiative to entertain him.
And on the way to Nasuwon Village together, Du Bai also had a general understanding of the situation of their group.
The more calm eldest brother is named Qin Zhengwei, and the bald head with two mustaches is named Qin Honglong, although he is not a brother, he is better than a brother, and they are all children who have been adopted by the Qin Family Dart Bureau since childhood.
And because of his good martial arts talent and strong martial arts, he picked up the big beam when he grew up and became an official dart master, specializing in escorting all kinds of darts from all over the world.
This time is no exception, it is said that the cloth and dyes of a certain cloth merchant are escorted, which are the favorite of many princes and nobles, and the value is extremely expensive! But don't get a little water, otherwise you'll lose all your efforts.
Otherwise, why would it be necessary to ride a horse and travel a long way uphill, wouldn't it be much faster to take the waterway?
And they were naturally a little curious about Du Bai's experience.
They have traveled from south to north, and the experience they have seen is much richer than that of ordinary people, and some strange people and strange things have also been heard, and it is inevitable that they will be a little surprised when they see it with their own eyes this time.
Of course, Du Bai wouldn't tell them the truth, he just casually made up a life experience.
For example, he was originally a poor and sour talent, and he repeatedly failed the imperial examination, so he was a little disheartened and went to the Taoist temple to become a Taoist priest, but after a few years of small success, the master said that he was not over, so he sent himself out to travel the world......
Because Du Bai himself had been in contact with many Taoist priests before, he was very similar in imitating some demeanors and movements, and these people in the rivers and lakes couldn't tell the difference for a while.
Not to mention that Du Bai also casually showed them some of the simplest tricks, such as taking things from the air, such as dead wood in spring and other tricks, which really frightened them into a daze, and even more convinced and admired what he said.
And in the end, those dart masters still have a doubt.
"Then dare to ask sir, since you have such a ability, why did you ...... before?"
They stopped talking, apparently referring to the same words they had said when they first met.
Du Bai smiled slightly, but he didn't explain too much, it was not good to let these mortals know too much about ghosts and gods, it was better to sell it.
"This matter involves heavenly opportunities, and it should not be divulged too much. But when you go to Suwon Village next, don't play and play casually, you need to be careful in everything, and if there is any problem, do as I say. ”
Hearing this, these people were already old rivers and lakes, although they didn't understand what was going on, but they also sensed that something was not quite right, looked at each other, and nodded slightly.
While a few people were talking, a small village near the mountains and rivers in the distance had appeared in front of them.
The most conspicuous thing is obviously the huge river that irrigates almost the entire village, which is quite wide and magnificent, and has a long range. But perhaps because of the dreary nature of the approaching storm, there is something unusually calm on the surface of the river.
Du Bai looked at the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Finally here again......"
The small village in front of me is very familiar, and it is exactly the same as when I accidentally broke into here with the Su family before!
Although he knew that the village had been destroyed by a rainstorm one night, and no one survived, when he came here again, he saw it as it had been intact.
There are even wisps of smoke rising, dogs barking, human voices, everything is so realistic and natural, as if it were real.
However......
After all, what is fake cannot be true.
Even if he just watched from a distance, Du Bai could feel the thick resentment and cold humidity that filled the place.
The resentment seemed to be the product of the torture and death of hundreds of people, and the dampness was like a faint smell of shame that permeated the air after a flood had not yet had time to dissipate.
I was limited in strength when I came before, and I didn't notice all this. Until now, when he came here as the Nightmare Dragon King, all he could feel was real.
Of course, the other group of dart masters still didn't notice anything wrong, at most they felt that the village was too deserted and lacked popularity, and they were a little puzzled.
It's just that when they really got closer, they saw the paper money and potholes that could be seen everywhere on the ground, the village in the distance crying and crying past a line of funeral processions in white mourning clothes, and the villagers in the village staring at them with unnaturally pale faces, which made them inexplicably a little creepy, and their backs were cold!
"We are not welcome in these villagers!"
From the other party's backwater-like resistant eyes, the dart master and his party were easily aware of this information.
There were even some young men who stopped directly at the gate of the village, holding sticks, not wanting them to enter.
These unexpected circumstances made the dart masters a little uneasy.
But the slight drizzle that had gradually begun to fall in the sky made them look even more nervous!
Compared with the hostility of these villagers, it is more important to escort the goods themselves.
The eldest brother, Qin Zhengwei, took a few steps forward and clasped his fists and shouted to the young villagers: "Everyone, we are just going to the rivers and lakes to eat, this time I came from afar, and I have no intention of offending!" It's just that it's going to rain on this day, and so many of us still have goods with us, so we have to find a place to shelter from the rain! ”
"Please make it convenient for you to go in and take shelter from the rain!"
He tried to say as many good things as he could, but it seemed to have little effect in the current situation, such as the young men who were still glaring angrily, with undisguised anger in the words of the few dialects of the place.
"You outsiders don't want to come in again! It was because of you that the river god was angry, and we died so many people...... Are you going to continue to kill us?! ”
They all roared loudly, apparently irritated.
However, these words are very inexplicable when they fall into the ears of the dart masters.
"River God?"
They vaguely felt that something was not right.
But seeing that the rain in the sky is getting heavier and heavier, it is impossible for them to change places temporarily.
It's just that just when a few people were trying to persuade them, and even thinking about taking out money to buy a road, suddenly the gentleman behind them said loudly: "Since you don't welcome us so much, then we might as well leave and find another way!" ”
"This ......" Qin Zhengwei suddenly turned his head to look at him with a stunned face, and was about to make a sound, when he suddenly remembered what the other party had told him and others on the road before, and decided not to refute it for the time being.
But the second brother Qin Honglong was a little uncontrollable, although he didn't question it face-to-face, he still asked the eldest brother in a whisper.
"Big brother, if we really can't get in, what can we do with these goods?"
"Don't worry." Qin Zhengwei's eyes fell on Du Bai, and he replied quietly, "This gentleman's destination is also this Suwon Village, so it's impossible that he doesn't want to go in." Now maybe there is something else planned, but we will wait and see what happens. ”
"If he really wants to leave, then we can separate again and buy into this village."
Du Bai didn't care about their thoughts, just quietly watched the performance of those villagers.
I want to see, if I really plan to leave, will the evil god really watch the duck fly away?
If they really don't care, then why would they go out of their way to lure them here?
In retrospect, when I passed here with the Su family before, I was also stopped outside, and I had to spend money to buy a road.
But this time, he really wanted to see what a different option would be.
And when he said this, it was obvious that everyone in those villages was stunned, as if they didn't expect them to be so obedient and planned to leave.
However, he didn't change his mind immediately, and when he came back to his senses, he still glared at them with disgust: "Then you should leave quickly!" Don't stay here longer! Maybe the river god will be angry again! ”
"You really don't want to keep us?"
Du Bai had some doubts in his heart.
It's just that when the situation is now deadlocked, suddenly the familiar slightly fat village chief hurriedly came with a group of people, and as soon as he came, he loudly reprimanded the young villagers who blocked the road.
"Why are you guys so ignorant! Others came from afar and were tired, just to take shelter from the rain in our village! Why do you have to stop it? Hurry! Put down everything you have and don't scare anyone! ”
Although those young people were still a little unwilling, the majesty of the village chief was placed here after all, and they could not be allowed to disobey it, so they could only temporarily give up the posture in their hands and make way for the dart board to open a way to the village.
"Sure enough......" The corners of Du Bai's mouth hooked, and he had a further understanding of this evil god who controlled the entire village.
Regardless of whether he and the others will spend money to buy the road, in the end, the old village chief will appear to relieve them.
All they did was to introduce them into the village.
Although there were slight deviations from what he expected, the difference seemed to prove that the evil god had been watching this place from the beginning.
"I just don't know if this guy is not making a move now because he is afraid, or if he needs to make other preparations?"
Du Bai thought about it, maybe both.
After all, his identity is special, although his breath is completely hidden, but as long as the other party really obtains the power of a certain immortal, he should be able to see some clues about himself.
Of course, the other party must wait until night before making a move, and there must be a reason for it, maybe they are preparing some evil formation for sacrificing flesh and blood.
Of course, these things he was considering were naturally unknown to the people of the Qin family's dart game, so they looked at him with a look of surprise on their faces, as if they were looking at a god.
"This gentleman is really clever, and he actually retreats as advances, and he expected that the old village chief would take the initiative to let us go......"
Qin Zhengwei was amazed, in his opinion, it must have been Du Bai who had expected all this, so he was so confident.
But having said that, the difference in treatment between those who have the money to open the road and those who have no money to wait for the village chief to take the initiative to give way is still quite obvious.
For example, the Su family had good wine and good food to entertain them before, although the taste was really sparse, but it was also a part of their hearts.
However, at this time, although those villagers let them in because of the face of the village chief, they did not give any good faces, let alone give them a banquet.
In terms of some meals, the people from the dart bureau took the initiative to go to the village chief to buy some of them, but most of them were dry food, and it seemed to have been stored for a long time, not only wrinkled, but also jerky and difficult to swallow, which really made them feel unhappy.
What made them even more unacceptable was that even the wine that they thought they could drink freely was full of muddy water at this time, and not only did they not feel comfortable drinking it, but they made it sick to their stomachs and almost vomited.
"Bang!"
In front of the table, the second brother Qin Honglong angrily smashed the bowl in his hand to the ground, and the wine in the bowl suddenly spilled to the ground, and then turned his head to look at Qin Zhengwei, who was also frowning on the side.
"Big brother, I think it must be the people in this village who deliberately stumble us and deliberately disgust us! Otherwise, just these foods and drinks, even if you go to feed the pigs, you will not like it! ”
"We went to the rivers and lakes to do business, what losses have we not suffered? But it's the first time I've encountered this kind of deliberate cheapness! I can't stand it! ”
He raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and then he was angry and planned to put on his sword and go to the village chief to theorize!
The juniors and disciples who were traveling around were also indignant, and they responded one after another, planning to go together to let these people know that they were not easy to mess with!
It's just that before they could walk out, Du Bai took the initiative to reach out and stop them.
"Wait, you don't have to be so indignant, look there."
He smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to a well outside the window, where a few sluggish-looking villagers were drawing water, and their movements had a stiffness that was very different from ordinary people, and they were as strange as some kind of walking corpse.
But these dart masters didn't want to go to strange places, just because these villagers were weak and couldn't lift buckets.
They looked at it for a while and wondered: "What's going on there?" It's just an ordinary well. ”
What does it have to do with them going to the village chief for comment?
