Chapter Seventy-Six: The Yin and Yang Boy
Niu Rhubarb took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I can't rule out this possibility." It's just that we don't have the ability to enter the underworld, so we can only go to Baiqiao Town to find out first, I hope this matter has nothing to do with the underworld! Wang Shenpo She has been doing yin and yang things all the year round, I am afraid that she has offended many people in the underworld, if she is really caught in the underworld, I am afraid that it will be ......"
That's what I'm worried about, I knew that this was the case, I should have let Wang Shenpo go to Baiqingguan or the Mountain Temple, at least I should have avoided it for a while.
This Baiqiao town is an ancient town.
The reason why it is called Baiqiao Town is because there is a river that meanders through this town. In the town, there are nine white marble bridges for people from the east and west of the He River.
There is a legend in the town, which is very magical, that the river in the town seems to be only a dozen meters wide, but the water is very deep, and people used to drown. Later, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest surnamed Ma, who lived in the town, and he cast a spell to summon nine white dragons from the bottom of the water, it is said that the nine white dragons were evil dragons, and the people who drowned were eaten by the white dragons. The Taoist priest took pity on the villagers in the town, so he cast a spell to turn the nine white dragons into nine white marble bridges.
This legend is known to everyone in Baiqiao Town, and Niu Da Rhubarb and I also heard about it when we ate at a restaurant in the town and listened to others tell about it to those foreign tourists.
Later, Niu Rhubarb and I also went to a nearby white marble bridge to have a look. The stone bridge is very old, but it is carved in white marble, and the traces of the craftsmen's chiseling are also obvious, obviously, the legend is not true. I guess it's to attract those out-of-town tourists, that's why I made up such a story.
After seeing the stone bridge, Niu Rhubarb and I walked around the town for a while, and found that there were many scattered Taoist priests in this town. They were dressed like ordinary people, but they all wore gossip taboos around their waists. Niu Rhubarb said that this thing is generally the belongings of scattered Taoist monks.
Along the way, there were at least five or six out of ten people, all of whom carried this kind of gossip and forbidden walking.
According to this, I am afraid that half of the people in this town may be scattered Taoist priests. Moreover, it is very likely that there will be secular Taoist families. However, then again, since there are so many cultivators in Baiqiao Town, as well as the Daomen family, the scattered Taoist priests in this town can solve some yin and yang matters, why would anyone still go all the way from here to invite Wang Shenpo to come here to do yin and yang affairs?
This thing is indeed boring.
There are indeed a lot of people in this town, but except for those scattered Taoist priests with gossip and forbidden steps, and a few tourists, the other people look gloomy and have no spirit.
The whereabouts of Wang Shenpo are unknown, and we haven't seen Weiyang here, so our eyes are also black, and we don't have any clue, so we have to ask one by one. Especially those who do business on the street, ask them if they have ever seen a man riding a white horse in the town. The answers of those people are the same, they have never seen it.
However, their answers were somewhat fragmented and suspicious. Eventually, the owner of a noodle shop said he hadn't seen it, but his child said he saw a grandmother passing by on a white horse.
I immediately went over and asked him, but the owner of the noodle shop said that the child was talking nonsense, and who was still riding a horse, and glared at the child and did not let him say more.
Going out of this restaurant, I felt the same way as Niu Da Huang, Wang Shenpo did come to Baiqiao Town, and I don't know where she is now.
Then, Niu Da Huang said: "Yiwa, did you notice just now that in the shops we just entered, there are small coffins in some of them or at the door. ”
This thing is too conspicuous, I just noticed it. Especially in the noodle shop just now, the small coffin seems to be a new coffin that has just been painted black.
The coffins are not large, only more than a meter long, and at most they can only hold a child.
It seems that this town of Whitebridge is problematic.
After that, Niu Rhubarb and I entered another shop, which was a shop that sold small souvenirs. Niu Rhubarb asked the shopkeeper while picking out all kinds of small things: "Boss, what are you doing with a black box in this store?" ”
As a result, the middle-aged woman glared at Niu Da Huang and drove us out without saying a word. Niu Da Huang asked if he said something wrong, and the middle-aged woman ignored it, but directly closed Zhang. I went over with Niu Da Huang, but I heard someone crying there.
"Mom, I don't want to be a yin and yang boy, don't send me to the Ma family, I'm afraid!" There was also a child's voice, crying as he spoke.
"Child, Mom doesn't want to, but can't we help it? Your dad is long gone, if your dad is here, the people of the Ma family won't dare to bully us! ”
The woman began to cry as she spoke.
I was about to knock on the door to ask what was going on, but Niu Rhubarb suddenly stopped me, he pulled me aside, and said, "If this matter could be said, we wouldn't have been kicked out just now." Even if we asked, we wouldn't be able to ask anything. Having said that, the mother and son just now both mentioned the Ma family, and it is estimated that the problem lies with the Ma family. ”
Niu Rhubarb mentioned the Ma family at this time, and I suddenly thought of a previous incident. At that time, I asked to marry Weiyang, and there was a Daomen family, the Ma family, who once inserted a bar, could this Ma family be the Daomen family at that time?
I said to Niu Rhubarb, Niu Rhubarb nodded, and I also felt that it was possible.
We are not familiar with this place, and if we want to know about the Ma family, we can only ask around. However, this Ma family seems to be very famous in the local area, and I asked someone on the side of the street, and the person said that the Ma family is on the west side of the ninth white bridge, a high gatehouse, and the pomp is very large, and you can find it over there.
Knowing the place, I also have a rhubarb, so I'm going to explore the truth first.
However, before he arrived at Ma's house, he saw a doorway in front of him, and there seemed to be a dispute. There are scoldings, and there are also the cries of children.
Niu Rhubarb and I walked around a small alley, and I saw a child about ten years old, crying profusely, lying on the ground, holding an adult's leg, and kept shouting, he didn't go to Ma's house, he didn't want to be a yin and yang boy, and he didn't want to live in a coffin.
However, the two adults were very resolute, the man said, you were chosen as a yin and yang boy, it is your honor, and it is also the blessing of our family, living in a coffin, getting promoted and making a fortune, what's not bad?
The child was pitiful and hugged the man's thigh tightly, and the man was impatient and raised his hand to beat. I immediately went over, grabbed the man's wrist, and said, "He's so young, so good, why do you want him to sleep in a coffin?" ”
The man glanced at me up and down, then looked at Niu Rhubarb behind him, snorted coldly, and said, "This is my family matter, don't worry about it!" Let's go! ”
"What is the Yin Yang Boy, why do you all have to send the child to the Ma family?" I continued to ask.
"Who are you?" The man gave me a wary look.
"You don't care who I am, this child is your own flesh and blood, you don't recognize him, have you ever considered his feelings? You still let him sleep in a coffin, isn't that a curse for him to die? "Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little excited.
At this time, the man was silent, he didn't know how to answer me, and suddenly squatted down, holding his head, looking very entangled.
The woman hurriedly ran over, hugged the child, and began to cry.
The man bowed his head and said, "Alas...... It's not that we curse him to die, it's that he really won't live long. was selected as a yin and yang boy, and when the time comes, he will be sent to Ma's house, how can he live! ”
I asked him, what the hell is going on?
The man sighed, wiped away a handful of tears, looked at us again, and said, "I see, you two are strangers, and you may not know about our town. Ma Zhenxing is alive, and the river god is going to marry...... Let's go, we can't talk about this outside, if the people of the Ma family hear it, our whole family won't survive! ”
The man and the woman winked and asked her to open the door.
I glanced back at Niu Da Huang, he nodded slightly, and then we followed the man to his house. When I sat down with Niu Rhubarb, the man said that he would go out and prepare some tea for us. I said no, but the man said, "No trouble," and then he went out and locked the door from the outside.
"You hurry up and inform the Ma family, just say that you have caught those two people!" The man said, and the woman mumbled and immediately went out.
"Hey, big brother, what are you doing locking the door?" I asked, but the man outside ignored me. Of course, this door can't close me and Niu Rhubarb at all, since he asked the woman to inform the Ma family, we are about to go to the Ma family, and we will meet this Ma family for a while, who is it.
However, at this moment, a cloudy wind suddenly blew outside.
I could only hear a plop outside, and I saw through the crack in the door that the man who had locked us up had fallen to the ground. Strange, where did this yin wind come from? Could it be Weiyang, I glanced outside, but I didn't see her.
Just now, the children of this family hid behind the gate.
I called the child over and asked him to open the door of our house, but the child did not hesitate to open the door.
I asked him, don't you want to be a yin and yang boy?
He nodded.
Then, I told him that he should go with us first, so that he could not go to the Ma family to be a yin and yang boy. However, the child shook his head, he said, he can't go, if he doesn't become a yin and yang boy, the Ma family will kill his parents.
