Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Old Friend, the Ancient Town

Granny Yan is a blind old woman, I don't know the origin, it seems that there is a son who is the little leader of the evil spirit sect stationed in Honglu, so she was able to live in this evil spirit town, and she is also a devout evil spirit cultist, there are many people like her in the town, living a simple and peaceful life, and she is also very enthusiastic.

The white-robed girl's name is Jin Xiaoxiao, her ancestor is a Manchu bannerman, and she has lived here for generations when the evil spirit sect was founded, and she is familiar with Granny Yan, and it is also cordial to come over to discuss, the two said a few words at the door, and the white-robed girl still has many things to arrange, so she didn't stay any longer, and left in a hurry, while Granny Yan pulled a tiger-headed teenager and walked in.

My miscellaneous Xiaodao and I were in the room after being checked countless times, and we poked our heads out to look, but we didn't expect this young man to be Wang Yongfa, the son of the earth.

This young man was alone in front of the main altar, and his heart was somewhat hesitant, looking at the surrounding scenery, he was frowning sadly, seeing me and Zamao Xiaodao, he couldn't help but greet excitedly, calling Uncle Zhang, Uncle Gao, I didn't expect us to meet again. We went out of the room and met him, and Granny Yan next to him smiled and said You still know each other?

Wang Yongfa said yes, Uncle Lao Ye introduced me before, these two uncles are my father's former colleagues, a brother who eats in Honglu.

Granny Yan smiled slightly, and said That's good, that's good, since it's your father's comrade-in-arms, it's naturally very good to meet Lu. She asked Wang Yongfa if he had eaten, and if not, there was still some fire in the stove, so she went to the next bowl of noodles. Wang Yongfa shook his head and said no, I had eaten in the restaurant on the West Wharf just now, and the rooms had already been arranged, but as a result, several parishioners in Sun Moon Lake Honglu had to live in one room, and there was no way to make trouble, so I arranged a few of us separately......

Although he is young, he understands everything, carefully said the reason why he was temporarily arranged, and then looked at us, and said that this is not right, anyway, we don't have any acquaintances here, everyone knows, living together is fate, one day let Uncle Zhang teach you a few hands of self-defense, it is also the etiquette of the uncles......

Wang Yongfa hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, while Granny Yan next to him smiled and said Yes, they are all good children, unlike some people before, who always thought that our main altar was the paradise on earth, and always only thought about enjoyment, not penance and dedication. Okay, let's talk, I'll boil you hot water......

The old woman groped her way to the backyard with a yellowed and blackened cane.

When he saw us, Wang Yongfa was more excited, first went to put away his small bag of luggage, and then came to chat with us, talking about his experience of coming to the main altar. From Wang Yongfa's words, we learned that as children of the Evil Spirit Sect since childhood, those guys were far more at ease with them than we miscellaneous soldiers, and he came here with the succubus as the top student of the school—in their school, there were only five people who could have this qualification.

This child has been precocious since he was a child, I couldn't take a hundred bills from him back then, and after the drastic changes in the situation in the past few years, his temperament has long been reined in, even if it is such an honor, he just understates it, and talks to us about the doctrine of the evil spirit cult like an adult, and what he has seen and heard along the way.

In my opinion, the education of the Evil Spirit Sect's Reserve Force Training School in Mangshan was really a bit dehumanizing, and it had cultivated a vigorous boy into a pretended mature conspirator. Such a student or occasionally a genius or two can become the backbone of the cult, but more guys may only become cannon fodder characters.

In addition to the cultivation talent, the strong people in the Evil Spirit Sect also have many more important factors, such as inheritance, or resources.

If you don't have enough resources, then these guys will always be left to wander between cannon fodder and minions with invisible glass panes on them, and there will never be any possibility of rising. However, in order to better understand the operation of these schools, we still sat in the courtyard and discussed with him the learning process over the years. Granny Yan's granddaughter was a shy little girl, not very old, only six or seven years old, she was a little afraid of people, but curious, hid by the door, looked at us with bright eyes, cautious.

I just sorted out Zhang Jian's luggage, and found a small bag of white rabbit toffee, saw the little girl, touched it, beckoned her over, and handed her a few.

The little girl took the toffee a little timidly, peeled one and put it in her mouth, the fragrant toffee melted in her mouth, and her eyes lit up suddenly, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. Seeing her unabashed innocent smile, I lowered my head, and felt a little uncomfortable in my heart - there are so many beautiful things in the world that are worth protecting, but why are there so many careerists, trampling these things to worthlessness for the sake of their own bullshit ideals?

Life is so beautiful and so worthy of awe, but in the eyes of these people, it is just a resource to increase strength.

We chatted late that day, and from the conversation with Wang Yongfa, we got a lot of first-hand information about the reserve strength of the cult training, and at the same time, without revealing my identity, I also taught Wang Yongfa some basic methods and tips for cultivation, and the child bowed to me with a cautious face, which made me a little unaccustomed.

Before we knew it, it was late at night, and the little girl named Su Wan was also by our side, holding her chin with her hands, and she could hear it, and Granny Yan came over to urge us twice, and then we went back to our rooms to rest.

After a night of silence, I got up the next day with Shamao Xiaodao, and after washing up, I practiced a yoga routine from Min Mo in the yard. The fist does not leave the hand, the song does not leave the mouth, if you want to be awesome in front of people, you must be forced after people, since you can't do solid, practicing this yoga is also a good choice, Wang Yongfa is also exercising next to him, this boy got up earlier than us, and at five o'clock in the morning he has already run several laps around the bluestone road next to the town.

Behind the town, there are several peaks with huge halls and old forests shrouded in white mist, which are the real forbidden places, and they are generally not allowed to go to them without anyone leading them, and these things are explained to us on the boat.

Being able to observe the situation of the Evil Spirit Sect's main altar at close range, this opportunity is difficult for many people in the Religious Bureau and even the entire cultivation world to obtain, and I and Zamao Xiaodao naturally will not miss it, and after insisting on completing this set of yoga exercises, Zamao Xiaodao suggested that Wang Yongfa take us out of the hall to run a lap again, and the young man readily agreed, and then the three of us hung towels around our necks and set off outside in sportswear.

Yesterday arrived here is the night, and to directly arrange to come here, this evil spirit ancient town did not look at much, today out of the day, found that this town is built according to the mountain, set up along the stream, paved with cyan breccia, there are several wide bluestone roads in the town, both sides of the road are the ancient buildings of the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, the residence is gathered, the city is with the valley, the tile houses are side by side, it looks simple, in fact, it is very charming.

In front of every street, there will be an obsidian archway, large or small, carved with various gods, there are three heads and six arms of the big black sky, there are tigers and guns of the wrestler, and there are three-eyed demon kings with lupine scarves, quite charm, as if condensing the power of many beliefs.

The water network in the town is dense, many old houses are built near the river, there is a river and there is a bridge, along the way, the covered bridge, stone arch bridge, stone slab bridge, wooden plank bridge are numerous, adding a lot of scenery. However, this scenery is beautiful, but in our eyes it is another scene, but to see that the bridge, road, house, tree, orientation, material and structure have condensed a lot of the designer's efforts, faintly, there is a huge array dominating this ancient town, as soon as it starts, this quiet and serene town, can immediately turn into a grinding disc of meat, that is, hundreds of enemies poured in, I am afraid that it will also be crushed.

The hundred-year-old cult of evil spirits is really extraordinary and worthy of its reputation.

Although it is a small town attached to the main altar of the Evil Spirit Sect, although the residents of this town are inextricably linked with the Evil Spirit Sect, most of them are not cultivators, they also have their own jobs, and there are various workshops, shops and vendors, and from the outside, it is actually no different from some remote towns in South China, but we can see that every family here believes in Almighty God, and the religious atmosphere is very strong.

The town is not big, it is not small, there are thousands of people in total, we ran along the bluestone road to the wharf, and ran around the rice field next to it, then stopped, and slowly walked back to Granny Yan's house.

On the way back, I could see some familiar faces of the same fleet, and I wonder if the road was affected by the leisurely atmosphere of this ancient town, and those guys who didn't pay much attention to others before would also greet us, which was surprising. When I returned to Granny Yan's house, I didn't go in, I saw Zhai Danfeng, the woman talking to Granny Yan on the corner of the street, Granny Yan pulled Zhai Danfeng, the woman kept shaking her head, and the expression on her face seemed to be a little sad, but after she saw me, she restrained her emotions, said a few more words, and left in a hurry.

The appearance of the special envoy of this Buddha Hall made me and Zamao Xiaodao a little surprised, and returned to Granny Yan's house for breakfast, I saw Granny Yan go to the back kitchen, so I whispered to the little girl Wan'er, why didn't I see your parents?

The little girl proudly told me that her parents were big people, especially her father, everyone said that he was very smart and a wise man like Zhuge Liang, but it was a pity that her father was on a business trip and had not been back for a long time......
