Chapter 65: Exploring the Peak
Although the world has begun to be chaotic, everyone has successfully reached the realm of Xiaoyao Peak. In Xiaoyao Peak's sphere of influence, there are passes set up on the road, and all people who come and go to Xiaoyao Peak to do business must pay taxes to Xiaoyao Peak, otherwise they will not be allowed to pass.
Shi Ping paid the tax, and when he walked to no one's place, he scolded: "Joyful Bliss, you son of a bitch! One day, you, a thief, will be torn to pieces. β
The reason why Shi Ping scolded Xiaoyao Bliss so much, in addition to the hatred and disgust for him, in fact, there was another important inducement, that is, the tax he paid just now was much higher than before. When everyone saw Shi Ping scolding, they all echoed the scolding and scolding. It's just that everyone knows that they can't afford to provoke it, so when they scold, they are observing whether there are ears and eyes around them.
Just when everyone was resentful, a person came to the front of the road, Shi Ping and Zhao Datou suddenly felt that the person who came was a little familiar, and both of them tried their best to think about it in their hearts. In the end, Shi Ping remembered that this person was Wu Zhonghao's personal subordinate, named Chen Zhe. When Wu Zhonghao was the owner of the island, this person had been to Yunhe Villa, and at that time, Shi Ping was still in the villa, so he and Zhao Datou had seen him.
Shi Ping said: "Senior Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed." I didn't expect to meet you in this strange place, what a coincidence. β
Chen Zhe said: "Eh! Isn't this Zhao Datou?" You're - let me think about it-"
Zhao Datou said: "Senior Brother Chen, he is our young master, why can't you even remember our young master?"
Chen Zhe exclaimed: "Ah! You are Shi Ping." I didn't expect to see each other for many years, but I completely changed and became a big man, and I really didn't recognize it. Oh - fortunate - fortunate - fortunate will! Disrespectful, I hope the young owner will forgive me. β
The reason why Chen Zhe recognized Zhao Datou at a glance was because Zhao Datou had a lot of meat heads from childhood to adulthood, and he was more impressed, while Shi Ping had changed a lot, so he didn't recognize it for a while. Chen Zhe was much older than both of them.
Shi Ping said: "Senior Brother Chen doesn't have to be polite. This Xiaoyao Peak is thousands of miles away from your Yunxiao Peng Island, how could you come here alone?"
Zhao Datou continued: "Yes, Senior Brother Chen. A while ago, I met your master in Shudi, they were playing in the mountains and rivers, why didn't you go with them?"
The master Chen Zhe that Zhao Datou said was Wu Zhonghao. When Zhao and Shi were talking, Chen Zhe was slightly thinking.
Chen Zhe said: "Ah! You also met my master, what a coincidence! My master called me to go with me, but at that time, someone in my hometown brought a letter saying that one of my elders was dying and wanted to see me for the last time." I had no choice but to go back to my hometown, and now I am returning to Yunxiao Peng Island, passing by this Xiaoyao Peak. β
......
After chatting about the old days, everyone went their separate ways. Shi Ping led everyone to continue walking, and when everyone walked to a market, they hung up the pennant of Yunhe Villa and began to sell the goods in the carriage.
While selling goods, everyone inquired about the recent situation of the mountain people. These mountain people are all regarded as the children of Xiaoyao Bliss, and they are all subject to the management of Xiaoyao Peak, so any abnormalities in Xiaoyao Bliss can occasionally reach the ears of the mountain people.
In the process of inquiry, the mountain people all worshiped the joy of leisure, and all sang praises to him. Those words that sang the praises of free bliss, Shi Ping wanted to plug his ears, but in order to find out the news of his sister, he could only endure it.
The sensual and disgusting words that the mountain people said to everyone were, such as: The old man is our great benefactor and our savior! His old man is not only the best in the world in terms of divine skill and wisdom, but also a degai Yaoshun, jealous of evil like hatred, and merciful like a bodhisattva. Since he took office, everyone has lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there are no more foreign bandits who harass everyone peacefully......
Originally, everyone had come to inquire about the news, but whenever everyone inquired about the situation of the Bliss, the mountain people only sang praises to him, and basically did not say anything else, so everyone felt very disappointed and frustrated. Later, when a mountain man came to buy goods, he sang the praises of the joy of bliss, Shi Ping suddenly couldn't hold back, and opened his mouth to refute him.
Shi Ping said: "This big brother, you were kept in the dark and deceived. I'll tell you the truth, he is an evil and adulterous person, and everyone outside of Xiaoyao Peak knows about him, and no one knows his details. Most of the things he advertises to you are lies made up for you, and I don't blame you, because you only have the opportunity to listen to him, but not the truth-"
Before Shi Ping finished speaking, the mountain man suddenly grabbed the goods in the carriage and smashed it at Shi Ping. The mountain people scolded in their mouths: "What nonsense, you all get out of Xiaoyao Peak! You dare to slander his old man like this, you are really tired of it! I will report you to see if you dare to slander his old man." β
At this time, Shi Ping regretted that he didn't hold his mouth. After the man left angrily, Shi Ping was worried about getting into trouble, so he prepared to leave. However, just as he was about to leave, another female mountain man came, and after she bought the goods, she took the initiative to speak.
The female mountain folk said: "Listen to your accent, you are from other places." β
Shi Ping said: "We are from out of town, what's wrong? β
The female mountain folk said: "It's nothing, I want to ask if you have any ghosts there?"
Shi Ping said: "Eldest sister, have you ever been haunted here?"
The female mountain folk said: "Yes! It's scary. When I think about it now, I feel hairy all over my body. A few months ago, we had a female ghost haunt every night in Xiaoyao Peak, and the female ghost's cry was so eerie and terrifying that as soon as I heard her scream, I would suddenly wet my whole body with cold sweat. In those days, we were restless, and almost every night a girl or virgin was sucked dry by her and died. Finally, everyone was digging holes during the day so that they could hide in the holes at night.
But later, everyone was very glad that the old man came back in time and drove the female ghost away. His old man is really powerful, and we mountain people have his old man's house, which is really a blessing that everyone cultivated in their previous lives, and he is closer than our parents.
I'll tell you another piece of good news, since the female ghost ran away, his old man is in a very good mood. Recently, he announced that all mountain people would be exempted from paying taxes for half a year. - Hey, he's a living bodhisattva!"
As long as the mountain people talk about the joy of leisure, they will call him an old man in the future. Everyone wanted to vomit for a long time when they heard it. However, at this moment, everyone has no choice but to endure it silently.
Shi Ping heard that Xiaoyao Bliss had been in a very good mood recently, and that he had also exempted the mountain people from paying taxes, and immediately associated this incident with the disappearance of his sister.
Shi Ping thought to himself: "What would make Xiaoyao Bliss so happy, it shouldn't be that he really captured my sister." This bastardβ"
In fact, after listening to the words of this mountain woman, everyone basically thought like Shi Ping, and linked the good mood of joy with Shi Xinhui's disappearance. Because everyone thinks that Shi Xinhui looks like a fairy, if she gets her, she will definitely have such a good mood.
In addition, Zhao and Fang were very surprised when they heard about the haunting of female ghosts in Xiaoyao Peak, because Shu Di was also haunting female ghosts not long ago, and listening to what this mountain woman said, the female ghosts haunted on both sides seemed to be the same female ghost.
After the mountain woman left, Shi Ping was worried that the previous person would go to sue and cause trouble, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to drive the carriage, leave Xiaoyao Peak, and wait for him in the inn. He and Zhao and Fang continued to walk into the mountains, preparing to visit the foot of Xiaoyao Peak again.
