Chapter 9: Formation (9)
At the last moment of the extremely dangerous Hundred Flowers Conference, the huge insect swarm suddenly stiffened and died inexplicably, which made the people of Fenglin City, who were convinced of the Golden Crow God, insist that Fenglin would not perish, and the Golden Crow Divine Envoy had already come, and would the arrival of the Golden Crow God still belong to the distant future?
In addition to the swarm of insects, a strange event just happened today that also took people's attention.
For example, the people who surrounded the motionless and unfamiliar circles quickly began to talk:
"Have you heard anything about what's going on outside the Northwest Gate?"
"I heard, I heard! The ground was suddenly sprinkled with a lot of gold!"
Mo Zhichou pricked up his ears. What gold?
The first time I heard that there was such a good thing as gold falling in the world for others to pick up, it is estimated that everyone would be very excited, and even a few of them wanted to run, planning to pick up a few more pieces of gold first?
"Wait!" someone shouted, "that gold is not ordinary gold, it's fish head gold!
Mo Zhichou maintained the posture of stretching out her hand and did not move, and Jue's upper limbs gradually began to be paralyzed, but she still could not move an inch. Squinting at the red poisonous spider on her shoulder still lying there, she thought to herself, this little insect is really in the way, so I can't even speak, and I can't ask clearly, what is the fish head gold, why can't I pick it up, this red poisonous spider, a little movement, it will crawl forward an inch.
Fortunately, some onlookers did not understand the situation as much as Mo Zhichou, and the man asked this question for Mo Zhichou: "What kind of gold is fish head gold? Since it is all gold, why is it different?"
"I said, this man, you are from the city of Wind, don't you know the legends about fish in this city?"
"I moved to the city the year before last. What kind of fish are you talking about?"
People look at each other and stop talking. In front of the public, there is no willingness to loudly discuss the taboo topic of "exterminating" the goldfish clan ten years ago.
"Well, it's a long story. You're not a native, and it's normal not to know. Well, in short, there is a rocky mountain to the west of the city, and there are goldfish people buried there. I don't know when it began, but a fish-headed fruit tree grew on the rocky mountain. It was a tree, but it had gold in the shape of a fish's head. ”
Another person hurriedly added: "No, no, the gold on the tree is all an illusion! In fact, the tree is hung with the head of a dead goldfish clan." ”
Mo Zhichou listened, and became more interested.
The man continued, "Not only that, but the ghosts of the rocky mountains also lure passers-by with gold. Probably in order to avoid the unlucky place of the Troubled Stone Mountain, the Taishi Mansion deliberately moved the passage in and out of the city to the south, and it was far away from the Troubled Stone Mountain, but the ghosts and monsters on the mountain were entangled, and they plucked the heads of the dead from the trees, turned them into fish heads and gold, sprinkled them on the road, and led to the Troubled Stone Mountain, attracting the greedy people to take the bait, what was waiting for them? Of course, the heads were taken off and hung on the branches, turned into gold, and lured the next group of people to take the bait. ”
The man's face turned pale when he heard this, and he stammered and didn't dare to say more, but he made up his mind that he would never have anything to do with the rocky mountain, and he would not be able to lure him with gold!
Mo Zhichou listened, but he was pleasantly surprised and secretly thought, there are so many strange things in this world, find a time to go to the Troubled Stone Mountain to meet the group of demons and monsters, and pick up a few pieces of fish head gold to play by the way.
"I heard from you that something happened outside the West City Gate, has the fish head gold been sprinkled outside the West City Gate?"
"Of course!"
Many people began to tremble.
"Did you see it with your own eyes? Did the fish head really get to the city gate? That's a big deal, are the ghosts of the Rocky Mountain going to enter the city too?"
"Guys, please listen to me, in fact, I have just returned from the northwest gate, and I have seen it with my own eyes and learned a little. The northwest city gate has been sealed, and we can't get out or enter, and the officers and soldiers are guarding it, and we won't be allowed to come forward to see what is going on. Although I didn't see with my own eyes whether it was fish head gold, but the Taishi Mansion sent so many people, there must be a big deal. The shoulders of the man who answered trembled, and his limbs were cold.
"Well, it's probably Baiyu entering the city. It's not enough to just come in with poisonous insects, the undead of the goldfish clan are coming to take revenge on us. ”
"But what does this matter to me?" said the man who had just moved to Fenglin City the year before last, "I have never killed anyone in my life, and I only eat vegetarian food, so will the undead of the goldfish clan also come to me for revenge?"
"Although it is not specifically aimed at you, it is Taishi Mansion who gave the 'extermination' killing order, and it is the city lord of Fenglin City......" Many people around made eyes, this man opened his mouth, and he didn't dare to reveal too much, "Besides, you live in Fenglin City now." Let's just talk about the poisonous insects in the Hundred Flowers Conference, does it make up whether you grew locally or relocated later?"
"That's what the eldest brother said. This man has already begun to tremble, he thought that when there was turmoil in the Jiuding Kingdom, it would be the best choice for the family to move to the prosperous and stable Fenglin City, where did he know that more terrible dangers lurked behind.
The people who didn't know what was going on hurriedly asked for the opinions of more people: "Did anyone present see with their own eyes that there was a fish head gold outside the northwest city gate? ”
Mo Zhichou stood still, as long as she kept this posture unchanged, the red poisonous spider on her shoulder seemed to be frozen and did not move. She heard all the chats around, the "extermination" of the fish head gold, the chaotic stone mountain, and the goldfish clan, she was full of interest and listened carefully, the only fly in the ointment was that the red poisonous spider was too much of a hindrance, so that she couldn't open her mouth to ask clearly-in other words, did Yu Hui's guy really run away?
Finally, one person stood up: "...... Guys, I see that. At that time, as I do every day, I got up early to fetch firewood and carry it home for use, and when I entered the city gate, I didn't pay much attention, but you know, behind me, actually, there was a carriage!"
"Carriage? isn't that normal?" the people dismissed.
"No, no, it's not a carriage for us. The woodcutter who spoke was obviously frightened by the ghost rumor he had experienced in his own life, his whole face was distorted, and his eyes bulged out widely, "That's the carriage of the ghosts of the Rocky Mountain!"
"You mean ghost cars?"
"Yes!"
"What does it have to do with the gold at the Northwest Gate?"
"I didn't pay much attention to it at first, because the carriage didn't look out of the ordinary. The carriage came after me, and we were lining up to enter the city, and it was only this one, which I remember more clearly, and I heard the clatter of horses' hooves. But suddenly, I heard the officers and soldiers defending the city shouting 'blockade,' and they all rushed towards the carriage, and when I saw that the officers and soldiers were going to stop us and not enter the city, I was so frightened that I slipped in while no one was paying attention, and when I looked back, the city gate was sealed, and those who did not come in had entered. ”
