Chapter 1: Cold Night, Xiao Xiao, Cold Rain and Chaos 1

Yu Yi's goal is the Hidden Gate, and framing Qian Xuan is nothing more than trying to convey the clues of the Hidden Gate to Yun Chu through him, so that he can investigate the matter of the Hidden Gate.

As for why he didn't tell him the truth of the matter directly, but Fei had such a big circle, thinking that it was a measure taken by Yun Chu who was afraid that Yun Chu would not listen to him.

framed Qianyan and put him in prison, just to force Yun Chu to submit and listen to him?

However, there is one thing Yun Chu can't understand, what is the reason for Yu Yi to think that the hidden door has something to do with him?

Yun Chu stood in an abandoned house, looking around at the collapsed and dilapidated houses, the garden was full of grass and trees, and the green brick path was paved with moss, and it was obvious that the house that had been abandoned for a long time had no trace of anyone living there.

Here, Yun Chu remembers, it used to be the place where those people stayed.

Revisiting the old place, the old man is no longer there, although there is no disappointment, but the doubts that linger in my heart are even heavier?

Yun Chu's thoughts went back to three years ago.

……

……...

In the spring of that year, after bidding farewell to the master, Yun Chu went to Shangfang alone, in order to see someone, at that time, this habit had been maintained for two years.

Meeting those people was actually just an accident!

It was on the way to Shangbiao, passing through a village, it was getting late, and Yun Chu stayed in the village for one night. It was also during that night's stay that he accidentally bumped into the 'mountain god' festival held in the village that night!

According to the local villagers, there was an incurable disease in the village, there were no signs, no cause could be found, and the only sign that people who had this disease showed were unconscious.

Sleeping there and hanging for a breath, the water and rice did not enter, the medicine stone was ineffective, and the patient died without medicine for ten and a half months.

The doctor could not say the symptoms or find the cause, but he frankly told the villagers that the disease would be contagious, and once it spread, the village would be regarded as a source of plague by the government, and the village would be closed from then on, leaving the villagers to fend for themselves.

The doctor's words frightened the villagers, who begged him to save the village, but the doctor shook his head and said that he could not do anything.

At this moment, the priest of the village stood up and told the villagers that it was not a disease at all, but that someone had angered the mountain god, and the mountain god was angry, so he took out his anger on the people who lived under the mountain.

When the villagers heard that it was the mountain god who was angry, everyone was in danger, and begged the priest for a way to save them. The priest told them that only by arresting those who had angered the mountain god and sacrificing them to the mountain god would the mountain god's anger be appeased, and the mountain god would continue to protect the safety of the village, and the sick villagers would be healed and the village would be restored to its former tranquility.

The villagers asked the priest, who was the one who offended the mountain god? The priest stood at the entrance of the village and told them that it was the people who lived in the mountains!

The villagers knew that the people who lived in the mountains were people who had come here from other places, settled deep in the mountains, and never had any contact with the countryside, and there were only a few or so villagers.

The villagers have always feared the mountain god, and now, the mountain god has made the villagers sick, and it turns out that someone has angered Shenwei!

No wonder I rarely see those people coming down the mountain, it turns out that those fleeing mountain people are the source of all disasters!

The villagers were filled with righteous indignation, shouting to catch the calamity, and return the mountain temple village to a tranquility, so under the leadership of the priest, the villagers took shovels and flattened the burden, and went up the mountain to arrest the mountain people back to the village, and presented them to the mountain god, hoping to calm the anger of the mountain god and return the original peace of the village.

The night Yun Chu came, it was the day when the villagers held a sacrifice to the mountain god!

After learning about the cause and effect from other villagers, Yun Chu felt that something was wrong, how could anyone get sick but just be unconscious?

Moreover, according to their descriptions, Yun Chu believed that those dead patients were not killed by illness at all, and they did not eat or drink for ten days and a half months, and they were clearly starved to death!

Yun Chu had already seen the people standing on the sacrificial platform, and the villagers held torches to illuminate the people on the platform clearly, two of them were the most eye-catching, one was a priest wearing a wide robe, and the other was a doctor sitting next to him with a sad face. They were the two people who were respected by the villagers, but their intuition told Yun Chu that they were not good people.

Yun Chu didn't do anything to harm the countryside against them, these two people looked honest and honest, and there was nothing wrong with them, but their eyes on the altar were full of resentment, and even blasphemy looked at the people tied to the pillar.

Yun Chu noticed that most of the sacrifices that were about to be burned to death by them were women, a total of thirteen people.

The man was just the size of a palm, one of them had gray hair, and there was a middle-aged man with a broken arm, and the other three were all teenagers.

The others were all women, the oldest woman seemed to be about forty years old, the youngest was only eight or nine years old, and one of them was the most eye-catching, for she was very beautiful and young, seventeen or eighteen years old, and I saw pity on her face, and the evil gaze of the priest was swirling on her!

The priest paced back and forth on the high platform, pointing to the prisoners tied to the pillars, and declaring the charges they had committed, and the higher the villagers who stood below, the higher the shouts of 'burn them', the doctor could not help but look at the people who were about to be burned, with a sad look on his face, but he could not hide the gloating in his eyes.

The mountain people who were about to be burned to death by them looked silent and desperate, but no one from women, children, old and young, cried in the face of death, or even listened to their begs for mercy.

Yun Chu thought, if that woman spoke, maybe they would be able to live!

However, the noble qualities they show are unyielding!

Yun Chu looked at their hands holding torches, and thought to himself, the so-called 'mountain god is angry and punishes the villagers', I'm afraid it's a trick by the priests and doctors to deceive people, right? Listening to the priest using his 'priesthood' to convey the words of the mountain god as an excuse to demonize the villagers into diseases, there is a doctor to do the internal response, and the two are embarrassed to act as a traitor, so why is it difficult to create a plague? It's really easy to incite villagers who don't know the truth!

Yun Chu has always done things freely, as long as he thinks it is right, he will do it even if he is wrong.

Just like the act of throwing the priest who lit the first fire with a torch and slashing his neck on the ground, he did whatever he wanted, and he didn't think about it at all, it was just his own conjecture.

Perhaps, the bad guys are not necessarily priests and doctors, the reason why Yun Chu saved the mountain people, Yun Chu just pity those who are strong and desperate!

The villagers were stunned by Yun Chu's sudden murderous action, and after that, there was a commotion, you pushed me, screamed constantly, and fled from the altar in all directions.

Yun Chu took a short sword to scare the doctor sitting on the altar, threatening him that it was better to explain everything clearly. The doctor was so frightened that he peed his pants, and just saw that his companion had just died in the hands of the young man, and when he listened to his questioning, he gave it all his head, and there was a villager who was scared and didn't leave on the altar.

Sure enough, as he thought, the priest coveted the woman's beauty, and because he couldn't get her, he joined forces with the doctor to plot against them, and the sick villagers were caused by the doctor's drug in his meal, because he was the only doctor in the village, and it was easy to deceive the villagers.

Yun Chu nodded with satisfaction, just cut off one of the doctor's fingers as a lesson, you must know that compared to his companions, he is really lucky.

As for the villager who had weak legs and didn't make it, when he learned the truth at this time, his face turned red with anger, and he immediately beat the doctor with his fist and screamed, and finally beat him half-disabled!

Yun Chu untied the ropes of the people tied to the pillar, and that was what happened when Yun Chu met them.

Later, from the subsequent contact, I knew some things about them.

According to them, they were the families of the convicts who were assigned to the army by the imperial court, and when they passed through the sand dunes, they encountered a sandstorm, and a team of more than 100 people, including officers and soldiers, was the only one who survived.

Those who survived, who were convicted, could not go to crowded places at all, were homeless, and finally had to run in seclusion in the mountains. They had planned to die there, but they never thought that such a thing would happen!

After the truth was revealed, they left the village with Yun Chu, they couldn't stay in this place anymore, they were fugitives, and their exposed whereabouts had to be changed. Even if the villagers don't know now, they can't afford to know in the future, considering the juniors, they can't afford this kind of risk!

The small is hidden in the forest, and the big is hidden in the city.

After a long journey of half a month, they followed Yun Chu to Shangqi, and it was from that time that they settled in Shangqi.

The original name of the hidden door was Anyin, which was intended to find a stable place to live in seclusion.

……

……....

Yun Chu stood in this old mansion and sighed softly, now, even the last bit of clue has been broken!

The search for the whereabouts of the hidden door may have to be put on hold.

Yun Chu returned to the inn where he stayed, asked for a pot of freshly brewed tea from the counter, told the shopkeeper that he was not allowed to disturb him, and returned to his room with a pot of tea after speaking.

Yun Chu felt that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, what had happened in the past few days was beyond his expectations, and he was very responsible for the accident with Qianzhu, if he had listened to him and left Shangbiao together, Qianzhu would not have been imprisoned!

Tiredness hit, Yun Chu, who was lying on the bed, hypnotized himself, don't think about it too much, rest well, recuperate your spirits, and prepare for tonight's events.

The matter of a thousand brands must be summed up well!
