Chapter 139: There Are Living People in the City of Xudu
"It's okay!" Lin Yuantao nodded, and Cai Lao smiled and respectfully retreated.
"Lin Xi, you look much stronger than before!" Lin Yuantao looked at me with satisfaction and nodded.
I smiled silently and told him the reason why I came to Xudu City: "Brother Lin, the people of the Zhong family and the Lu family are searching for me everywhere, I don't know where to go, I only got you here!" ”
"It's okay! As long as you come to me, not to mention the Zhong family and the Lu family, even if the people from the four major families are here, don't try to take you away from me! You can stay with me in peace, and when the crisis outside is resolved, you can go out again when you want to! "Lin Yuantao is very confident and domineering. His attitude made my heart warm and steady.
"Thank you, Brother Lin!" I smiled happily and bent my eyes, "That's right! Brother Lin, there is one more thing I need your help with! ”
"What's the matter?"
"I brought them over with me with the more than 100 ghosts who followed King Jing before, hoping that Brother Lin can help find a place in the capital city, so that they can have shelter from the wind and rain!" I'm a little embarrassed, but this is what I promised Zhao Huan, and I must fulfill my promise.
"It's simple, tomorrow I'll ask Steward You to take you to the west of the city, where there is a vacant house, you let those people who follow King Jing live there!" However, after that, they will have to work on their own to support their families! ”
When Zhao Huan heard this, a reassuring smile appeared on his face.
"Raising a family? Work? "I'm a little surprised, does this ghost still have to work to support himself?
"Haha......" Lin Yuantao saw that I looked ignorant, and immediately laughed loudly, "There are rules in the world, and ghosts also have rules for ghosts." There are not only ghosts living in the ghost capital, but also living people. If they don't go to work, where is their source of livelihood? ”
"Anyone else?" I'm even more surprised, isn't this ghost all living in the city? How can there still be people?
Lin Yuantao chuckled lowly, and patiently explained: "The ghost capital was actually inhabited by people at the earliest, because it was very suitable for ghosts to live here, so later on, many ghosts lived here. After a long time, there was friction between this man and ghost, and in the end, it evolved into a war between man and ghost. Of course, in the end, the ghosts won, and they drove out all the people who lived in the ghost capital. I thought that the ghost capital, where only ghosts were there, would be a paradise for ghosts. But I didn't expect that after a few years, because this ghost capital only had yin energy and no yang energy, the original creatures in the ghost capital began to order. In the end, it turned into a dead air. Ghosts only have yin and no yang energy, just like a fish pond without living water, gradually the water of the pond begins to turn green, and many unknown creatures grow in the pond to threaten the survival of the fish. At first, the ghosts of the ghost capital didn't notice it, and it wasn't until more and more ghosts appeared inexplicably that the ghost energy dissipated, and the ghosts of the ghost capital became alert when the ghosts were scattered in less than two days. The city lord of the ghost capital found a lot of ghost doctors to treat the sick ghosts in the ghost capital, but they didn't get better, and they searched everywhere for the cause to no avail. In desperation, the city lord had no choice but to go to the yang world to find the fontanelle ghost doctor Mo Chou. ”
"Fontanelle ghost doctor?" I couldn't help but reach out and cover the position of my fontanelle, thinking that the name of this sect was so strange, it was called fontanelle.
"Hmm!" Lin Yuantao nodded and said, "Ghost Mochou named his ghost doctor gate fontanelle, because he felt that he was as important to the sick ghosts as their fontanelle!" ”
"I see! And what about later? "It dawned on me.
Later, after the ghost Mochou followed the city lord to the ghost capital, he said that there was no rule of law for the illness of these ghosts. But if you want to prevent any more ghosts from getting sick, you must let there be living people in this ghost capital! It is also said that this is because there is only yin energy and no yang energy in the ghost capital, which causes yin and yang to be unable to be reconciled. The city lord didn't believe it at first, but when he caught dozens of people from outside and came in, no one was infected with the plague anymore, so he believed it! At that time, it was during the Wuhu Rebellion, and the patriarch took hundreds of people from their family to take refuge in the ghost capital. The lord of the castle made an oath to him! The ghost capital provides a place of refuge for their people, and ensures that these people living in the ghost capital will not be harmed by the ghosts, let alone be corrupted by the yin energy. But these people must live in the ghost capital for generations, and they cannot go out. Once you get out, you will die instantly. The ghost capital will also set aside a special area for these clansmen to live! Since then, people and ghosts have not offended each other and have lived in peace. Later, such problems arose in the central Lingzuka Mountain, Liushawan in the northwest, the black bear forest in the northeast, and Jinjiling in the south, and they all made oaths with the people living in the ghost domain in the way of the ghost capital. Lin Yuantao paused and continued: "The people and ghosts living in these ghost domains have to support themselves through their own labor. If the ghosts are unwilling to work, then they don't have any money, they can't shop, they can't go out, they can't improve their strength, and they will be looked down upon by other ghosts! ”
"Oh! So that's it! I nodded, thinking that the rules of the ghost capital were good.
"Lin Xi, you will live in You Yun Pavilion in the future! It's not early, I'll let you go down to rest! Tomorrow you'll go to the west side of the city! Lin Yuantao beckoned to the maid behind him, and the maid came over and led me to the residence.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Lin!" I thanked Lin Yuantao and followed the maid to the back. Zhao Huan also saluted Lin Yuantao and left with me.
Behind Youyun Pavilion is a bamboo forest, and there is a small building in the middle of the bamboo forest, and I was arranged in this small building.
"Lin Xi, there are many masters lurking in that bamboo forest!" Huang Sier, who had been silent, suddenly whispered.
I turned my head to look at the bamboo forest, and there was silence inside, and I couldn't see that there was a master lurking at all.
"Lin Xi, don't worry! Even if there is no master in this Youyun Pavilion, no one dares to break in! Zhao Huan also said with a smile.
"Hmm!" I nodded and asked Zhao Huan, "Lord Jing, when can you advance?" ”
Speaking of advancement, Zhao Huan's face showed a hint of bitterness, "I don't know either!" I feel that the strength has reached the mouth of the bottle, but there is still a little bit of a breakthrough that cannot be broken! ”
"Do you still have any knots in your heart?" I thought for a moment and asked.
"Heart knot......" Zhao Huan repeated these two words in a low voice, and did not speak for a long time.
"Lord Jing, which do you think is better for the people to live now than in your dynasty?" I thought about it, the biggest knot in Zhao Huan's heart is estimated to be that the Northern Song Dynasty perished at his hands.
When Zhao Huan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became enlightened. A bright light burst out of his eyes, and his whole person seemed much lighter.
The obvious changes in Zhao Huan's body surprised me very much! I just asked a question, and the knot in his heart was untied! It seems that sometimes it's just a matter of chance that you can't advance!
