Chapter 113: The Man Who Unveiled
By night, the houses were already locked and the streets were empty. Yu Xia carried a burden and walked out of Dengyun Tower.
At this time, it was past one or three o'clock, and it was curfew time. The night at the beginning of winter was very cold, and the cloth jacket worn by Yu Xia was a little thinner.
She is already a second-grade Xuan Master cultivator, and it stands to reason that she can resist the cold, but because her congenital vitality is damaged, her physique is still slightly weak, so she still wears warm clothes like ordinary people.
Huailing County has a stricter control over the activities of the people at night, the dusk drum is sounded at three o'clock, and it is forbidden to travel, and the morning bell is ringed at three o'clock at five and three o'clock before the passage is prohibited, if the people are still wandering outside during this time period, then they will be arrested by the night patrol for the crime of "committing the night", and even sentenced to a certain punishment.
However, this provision has no effect on the Xuanshi.
The status of the Xuanshi is special, and the curfew is for the people to ensure their safety and the stability of the city, and for the Xuanshi, many things are rampant at night.
At night, it is often the time when the activities of the Xuanshi are more frequent.
Of course, Yu Xia's trip was not to get rid of filth and catch ghosts.
Yu Xia came to an intersection, raised his eyes to look at the few white phantoms floating in front of him, and sighed quietly. Unwrapped the package, and there were some paper clothes inside, which Yu Xia specially bought on the way here.
Yu Xia lit the paper clothes with a fire fold, and silently recited in his mouth: "Taiying Huanghua really descends the five internal organs, the fetus is born, the ghost soul is born, and the heaven soars towards the upper clear." ”
She didn't know the names of these spirits, so she could only burn their clothes to them in this way.
The paper clothes slowly turned to ashes in the dancing flames, and when Yu Xia looked up again, he found that the phantoms looked a little solidified, and there was an extra white cloth on his body.
The phantom consciousness was a little confused, but they knew that the clothes on their bodies were burned by the black and thin little girl in front of them, and they immediately bent down at her to show their gratitude.
Yu Xia waved his hand, glanced at the north of the city again, looked at some of the winter clothes left in the baggage, and went there again.
In October, winter clothes were awarded. Yu Xia once heard Chen Daoren say that many homeless wandering souls have no clothes to wear.
Although ghosts are yin things, most of them are just a group of spirits with weak consciousness. As long as they do not get entangled in the body of the living to weaken the yang energy of the living person, and use the yin energy to infringe on the body of the living, to a certain extent, they are harmless to people, and those powerful evil ghosts are very rare, and most of them are people who are angry and die in vain.
The north of Huailing City is relatively close to the mass graves in the suburbs outside the city, there are many ghosts, and there are new souls and old souls, and there are dozens of colorful paper clothes in Yu Xia's baggage, which are prepared for these wandering souls.
Yu Xia walked towards the north of the city, turned a corner, but saw that there was already a person squatting there, while fiddling with the fire to make things burn more thoroughly, while chanting words in his mouth, Yu Xia approached to take a look, and found that the person turned out to be Gu Dabao.
Gu Dabao also heard Yu Xia's footsteps, looked up and saw that it was her, and then looked at the burden on her back, and a big smile bloomed on her face.
"Miss Yu, did you also come here to give those wandering spirits a dark robe?"
Yu Xia nodded, squatted down beside him, and took out all the paper clothes in the package.
Gu Dabao glanced at the shadowy shadows not far away, frowned lightly, and sighed, "The weather this year is colder than in previous years, I don't know how many people should freeze to death." ”
Yu Xia also saw those yin spirits, most of them were new souls dressed in thin white clothes, and he was a little puzzled.
"These are either starved to death, or they froze to death a few days ago."
When Gu Dabao saw Yu Xia's expression, he understood what she was thinking, "Those homeless beggars and the victims who fled from other places began to be a little overwhelmed when the weather just turned cold a while ago. ”
Yu Xia naturally knew the origin of the Winter Clothes Festival before, but when she burned paper clothes with her family in previous years, she didn't see the ability of the Yin Spirit, and the sparsely populated Guoshu Village didn't think that many people would die every winter.
When you become a mystic, you will see more things than ordinary people, and seeing these things means that you have more responsibilities.
"But as far as I know, there have been no disasters this year, so why are there still victims? And I see that in Huailing County, although there are many homeless people, the victims are rarely seen. ”
Gu Dabao shook his head and said, "Our Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times, and the wind and rain are smooth, but this is not the case in other places. Many people in the north not only have to face the cold, snow and various famines in winter, but also be burned, killed and looted by the border north of the country. ”
"It's just that where is it so easy to avoid disasters, in the cold winter season, the road is long, and many victims have died on the road. So there are very few people who can actually make it here alive. ”
After Gu Dabao said this, he glanced at Yu Xia with admiration, "Although you are young, among so many Xuan Masters, you are rare with a benevolent heart. ”
In the previous incident at the maid in Dengyunlou, everyone else hung up without caring about themselves, and even looked like they were watching a good show. And in the Winter Clothes Festival, she was the only one who came out to give clothes to the wandering souls, except for herself.
Yu Xia smiled, "You are also very rare, no matter how you cultivate, with a benevolent heart, you are already much more noble than other Xuan masters." ”
She has lived in a farming family since she was a child, and she thought she was poor enough, but there are more poor people in this world, struggling on the line of life and death.
If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world and save the people when she "smells", how much merit should she miss?
The next day, the Xuanshi Conference opened.
All the mystic masters gathered on the first floor, and the tables and chairs in front of them had been removed, a high platform was erected, and a red carpet was spread.
The clerk who had been registered for the crowd yesterday stood on a high platform.
"Everyone, please be quiet." The clerk used his vitality when he said this, and although the environment was noisy, his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
The building fell silent for a moment.
"The Xuanshi Conference has existed since ancient times, from the earliest date of the founding of Mr. Liu, to now it has been held for more than 600 sessions, for thousands of years, there have been many big figures who stirred up the storm later, some of these people have influenced the general trend of the world, some are extremely close to the way of heaven, and some have established sects. It is precisely because of the existence of our predecessors that we are here today. ”
"We are people in the Xuanmen, our hearts are towards heaven, but we are in the red dust. The reason for holding this Xuanshi Conference is that the Xuanmen needs to be inherited; Second, there is a need for exchanges and exchanges between Xuanmen, so that our Xuanmen can be more prosperous; The third is that the organizers of the Xuanshi Conference will use the income of the conference as good silver to buy winter clothes for the poor people to make merits. ”
"Next, we asked Master Chen, the master of the Jiangnan Hall of Daoyuan Hall, to unveil this conference."
A tall man in a tie slowly stepped onto the stage, a snow-white falcon on his shoulder stood quietly, the man's face was cold, and there was a murderous aura around his body, which made people feel nervous, and the whole person became serious.
Yu Xia looked at the man in surprise, she didn't expect to meet him here.
The person who came was Chen Dao.
