Chapter 141: The Legend of Heartless Town
Just as Chen Xiaoyu was about to rely on his consciousness to type on the twenty-six buttons of his mobile phone to give up the ninth task on his initiative in a panic, the lively street where he was standing suddenly became quiet.
Chen Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, looked at the crowds on both sides of the crowd, and didn't know what was going on.
"Masters, back down."
An old and hoarse shout sounded from his side, and the silence and the others were quick to hear and pull Chen Xiaoyu to retreat to the back of the street vendor stall.
In the next second, a group of men and horses armed with long knives, spears, and long swords, and black sacks behind them, galloped past, raising clouds of dust on the ground.
The dust was flying, and Chen Xiaoyu, who didn't have time to bow his head, took two sips, choked and coughed, and frowned, "What's the situation?"
"This is our Pegasus team from Heartless Town, and it looks like they're returning from a mission!"
It was the old and hoarse voice again, Chen Xiaoyu calmed down, followed the reputation, and found that it was the vendor of this stall, a gray-haired old man.
The old man glanced at the young man mixed with the three middle-aged monks, looked up and down again, and asked, "Is the young man a lay disciple of Huaiyang Buddhism?"
Chen Xiaoyu waved his hand, where is this! The world is so beautiful, he wants to go home, not to become a monk.
When the old man saw Chen Xiaoyu denying it, he felt bored, and after saying Amitabha Buddha three times in a row to the three of them, he asked in a low voice, "Then, the four are from Huaiyang Prefecture, right?"
Silence smiled, shook his head, and said, "My Buddha is compassionate, yes and no. The four poor monks went from Huaiyang to Qinghe, and from Qinghe back to Huaiyang."
The old man peddler nodded, as if he understood the Zen language of "playing tricks on the mysterious".
Chen Xiaoyu just remembered that he had just died on the road, and said that the name of this town was very Buddhist and related to the interpretation.
It seems that the old man who is setting up a stall on the street also has the wisdom roots of Buddhism.
He snapped the ap and pulled out a map.
On the map, the location of this Wuxin town is just at the boundary between Qinghe Prefecture and Huaiyang Prefecture.
In this way, it is not surprising that the people of this town have that Huigen.
But how could a town related to Buddhism have a ghost cultivator who can make him fall into the ten-mile ghost path?
The more Chen Xiaoyu thinks about it now, the more he can't understand it.
Just as Chen Xiaoyu was holding his chin and pondering, the Master of Silence standing next to him suddenly said to the old man, "The right donor said that the Pegasus team returned from a mission, can you tell the poor monk and the others about the mission?"
The old man glared, inexplicably moved, and pulled Silence's sleeve and said, "Of course you can! Absolutely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man removed the wooden stool beside his lap, rubbed his hands, his round eyes suddenly narrowed into a slit, and he whispered, "If you really come from Qinghe Prefecture, you must have crossed that deep valley."
The deep valley? Chen Xiaoyu nodded, and unnaturally took two steps forward.
For the deep valley that was called hell by silence, Chen Xiaoyu had palpitations.
But the more unknown, the more scared he is, people, he will go against the fear in his heart to explore and seek knowledge.
The old man didn't notice the change in Chen Xiaoyu's expression, and only saw that the three monks didn't have a big reaction, so he decided to increase the surprise and continued: "A few people can know that the deep valley is the hell that the Buddha said, and there must be demons in the hell!"
Hell, demons? Isn't this an oriental fantasy? Why does this moment sound a little like Western fantasy......
Chen Xiaoyu frowned slightly and listened silently.
The old man suddenly noticed a change in the expressions of the young men beside the three monks.
Suddenly, he felt a sudden sense of accomplishment, took a slight breath, and began to talk at length like a professional storyteller, telling the legend of Heartless Town.
At that time, he was still a young scholar, and this town was not called "Wuxin Town", it had a more Zen name, "Nirvana Town".
Legend has it that as long as the young people of this Nirvana town work hard, they will definitely achieve their own success.
It's like a phoenix
, Nirvana.
So this town is full of young people.
But one day, a female ghost who had practiced for thousands of years ran out of the deep valley hell in the west of the town.
And the female ghost has a difference from the ghosts in the usual script, that is, she only eats young people.
As a result, Nirvana, which was full of young people, became the target of female ghosts, and in one night, countless young scholars and boys became the food of female ghosts.
Gradually, because the female ghost devoured a large number of young people, her cultivation became higher and higher day by day, and later she even used her own ghost cultivation power to introduce the demons formed in the deep valley hell into the world.
The border between Qinghe and Huaiyang states is on the verge of chaos.
Therefore, it attracted a large number of cultivators from Qinghe Prefecture and Huaiyang Prefecture, as well as the disciples of the Sword Pavilion who lived high in the Spirit Sword Peak.
Eventually, the female ghosts were suppressed back into the deep valley of hell, and those who crawled out of the deep valley to form demons, because there were too many of them, some of them secretly hid in the major towns on the border.
After that, these demons hiding in the towns would come out from time to time to kill a few ordinary people in various towns at the junction of the Qinghe River and Huaiyang.
The cultivation sects of the two states were at a loss for this, and they could only have one head and two big.
Soon, the old sect master of Spirit Sword Peak died of illness, and this matter about the demons on the border of the two states was quickly forgotten by the major cultivation sects.
But just as all this is developing towards the end of destruction and sinking, a masked woman from nowhere appears in Nirvana Town and uses her unique charm to form a team of Pegasus.
The Pegasus team is full of unpopular entry realm cultivators in Qinghe and Huaiyang, and the formed Pegasus team adheres to the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than misplace, and hunts and kills "people" who may be hidden demons along the way in more than 30 small towns on the border of the two states.
This hunt for the demons hidden in the town is the daily task of the Pegasus team.
Chen Xiaoyu listened carefully, he didn't expect such a small town to have such a past.
"In other words, the black sack that the Pegasus team was carrying just now is the person they were on a mission to hunt and kill, and it may be related to the demon?" Chen Xiaoyu thought for a moment and asked.
"It's not a whole person, it can't fit in, it's a head." The old man sighed and said, "As far as I know, old man, after the corpse of the demon is cut open, the body will dissipate, and there is no possibility of resurrection."
"Aren't people the same?" Chen Xiaoyu paused and responded.
The old man waved his hand, "Where's the same?" The human body will not dissipate!"
"So you mean that the Pegasus team kills innocents indiscriminately?" Chen Xiaoyu suddenly realized.
Perhaps, this is why Nirvana Town changed its name to Wuxin Town.
This is exactly what Silence said, those who do evil have no heart.
"My Buddha is merciful! Amitabha."
After listening to the legend of Wuxin Town told by the old man, he sorted out the conversation between Chen Xiaoyu and the old man again, closed his eyes and bowed his head, folded his hands, and prayed for those innocent creatures who died in vain.
