Seeing that Xiao Bai was a little nervous, Chen Heng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, those in front should be humans, but for some reason they are crying in the middle of the night, let's go over and take a look." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Chen Heng led Xiaobai and walked in the direction where the voice came.
Walking through an area of peach trees, the eyes suddenly opened up.
As Chen Heng said, on the bank of the Peach Blossom Creek, under the moonlight, there are many shadows, only hundreds of men and women, mostly middle-aged, and some old people, crying loudly by the stream, while crying, put lights in the stream.
That's where the white lanterns you saw come from.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Mingming, come back......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
"My Precious Granddaughter......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
Every time they cried, they would put a white lantern into the stream, and the cry was miserable, but the name of their daughter's house was shouted.
"It seems that these are people who have lost their children. ”
Seeing this scene, Chen Heng let out a slight sigh, and the doubts just now were also solved, but there were a few more questions in his mind.
"But why are they crying here, and why are they putting lights on Peach Blossom Creek?"
While Chen Heng was pondering, Xiaobai also came back to his senses.
He was not a timid person, but he had a sudden change, and he had something in his heart, so he seemed a little dull, but now when he heard Chen Heng say, he immediately said: "Just ask in the past." ”
Chen Heng was noncommittal, and with questions, the two of them stiffened their heads and walked towards the stream.
The people by the stream cried hoarsely, and they didn't seem to notice the arrival of Chen Heng and the others at all, or they didn't care at all, but they were still crying and shouting, and the whole stream was filled with a thick sadness, which made people cry.
Chen Heng and Xiaobai glanced at each other, the two approached, came to a woman who was crying and almost fainted, and asked out loud: "Auntie, in the middle of the night, why are you all crying here?"
Regarding Chen Heng's questioning, the middle-aged woman turned a deaf ear and only cared about herself screaming and crying.
Chen Heng thought that he hadn't heard it, so he repeated it again.
But what made him helpless was that the middle-aged woman still ignored him.
"Forget it, let's ask the others!"
Xiaobai turned around and walked towards the person next to him, but the situation was still the same, and the other party didn't pay attention to him at all.
Chen Heng felt strange in his heart, and he also asked a few more people, but the result was still the same.
It's as if the people here didn't even notice their existence.
Just as Chen Heng and the others looked at each other and were about to give up, a girl beside him suddenly raised her head and asked, "Who are you?"
The girl wore a veil and could not see her face, and judging from her appearance, she should have been only sixteen or seventeen years old. It's just that his eyes are red, and his body also exudes a sense of sadness, which makes people look forward to pity.
At a certain moment just now, Chen Heng and the others thought that they had entered some kind of illusion, but at this time, they were quietly relieved when they saw that someone finally responded.
"Hello, my name is Chen Heng, this is my friend Xiaobai, we are just passing by, temporarily living in Taoyuan Town. Originally, I saw that the environment here is beautiful, and I went out to look around, but I saw that you put lights here, and I had doubts, so I stepped forward to ask. ”
Chen Heng obviously felt that at the same time as he finished saying this, the faint trace of vigilance in the girl's eyes slowly relaxed.
"I see, you are the two outsiders during the day. ”
Taoyuan Town is not big, and a little thing can quickly spread throughout the town, this girl obviously also knows that there are Chen Heng, so she didn't ask more, just said: "The people here are all relatives who have passed away or disappeared, and it is inevitable to grieve in my heart, please forgive me for my rudeness to you just now." ”
Chen Heng and the others were surprised, and wondered in their hearts, what had happened to this Taoyuan Town? There were so many people who had lost their relatives.
However, seeing the sadness in the girl's eyes, they didn't ask directly.
After a pause, the girl looked at the white lights floating in the Peach Blossom Creek, and said leisurely: "Legend has it that if a relative dies unjustly, put a white light in this stream late at night, and write down the situation, so that you can go straight to heaven and send immortals to help you." ”
The girl's statement, Chen Heng can also empathize. It's just an immortal or something, Chen Heng naturally won't take it seriously.
Hearing this, I finally understood why they gathered here to cry.
At the same time, so many people's family members had accidents, and Chen Heng knew that there must be a reason for this, so he kept a little heart.
Civilians are not like cultivators, they have no ability, and if something really happens, they can't do anything other than pray to the heavens.
And as a cultivator, his ability is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he looks down on all living beings, so he must come forward at such a time.
Chen Heng had already decided to stay in Taoyuan Town for a while to figure out the reason for the matter.
He wanted to know more about the situation, but after seeing that the girl was in a deep sadness after finishing speaking, he didn't want to say more, and Chen Heng didn't want to be reluctant, so he glanced at Xiaobai, who also had a sad face, and slowly retreated downstream.
"Brother Chen, what are we going to do?"
As soon as he left a distance, Xiao Bai looked up at Chen Heng, obviously not thinking about letting it go.
Chen Heng pondered for a moment, looked at the white light in the stream, and said, "Let's stay away a little longer, go downstream and scoop up the lamp, and see what they write." ”
If you want to understand the situation, if you ask directly, you are afraid that it will cause misunderstanding, so you can only look for clues from those white lights.
Now they are not far from those townspeople, if they fish for the lantern directly, they will definitely be seen, in order to avoid trouble, Chen Heng and Xiaobai followed the stream again and returned to their original place.
After looking around left and right to make sure that no one around would see it, Chen Heng took advantage of the buoyancy of the boat to pick up a few white lights from Peach Blossom Creek.
Xiao Bai naturally would not be idle, he looked at the white lights that Chen Heng fished up one by one, took out a piece of paper from it, and read out the words on it.
"Fang Ziya, age seventeen, on the fifteenth day of February in the fifth year of the new calendar of Tiantong, went out to buy a family, and did not return after that, and finally appeared in the Bai family's rice grain. According to the white boss of the rice shop, there was nothing unusual when he saw the little girl, and the little girl also indicated that she would go home as soon as she finished the goods. After half a month, he still didn't return, and Fang Zhirui, the father of believer Fang Ziya, begged God to rescue him, or tell him the whereabouts of the little girl. After that, you should fast and purify your body, and worship God with all your heart. ”
"Zheng Qing'er, thirteen years old, on January 30, 5375 of the new calendar of the Tiantong Dynasty, was playing and playing on the bank of Peach Blossom Creek, but unfortunately died in the water, and his blood dried up. Heaven has mercy on her, the little girl has a very good water nature, and often closes the water for a moment, how can she hide in the water? The believer came to see her and begged heaven to hear. ”
......
A white lamp and a note looked at the past, and it was much the same, all of them had accidents within three months, all of them were daughters. Or accidental death, or loss of traces, there is nothing in a single view, but dozens or even hundreds of households happen together, and there must be differences.
The more Xiaobai read it, the lower his voice became, and his tone was a little choked.
And Chen Heng was shocked at the beginning and angry at the end, and his mood couldn't calm down for a long time.
"There are so many girls killed, there must be evil demons in Taoyuan Town, cultivating yin and evil qi with the body of a girl. As a cultivator, if you ignore this matter, how can you seek the Dao?"
"No matter who the devil is, Chen Heng will make you pay a heavy price!"
Chen Heng was full of anger, and while shouting angrily, his body was also trembling with anger.
Xiaobai raised his head and said with red eyes: "It's not just that, as mentioned above, there are still many people who don't believe in immortals, and go to the peach blossom village on the mountain to find the owner of the peach blossom village to help, if it is really counted, the number of victims is far more than a hundred." ”
Chen Heng took a deep breath, reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, and then looked at the surrounding environment, he no longer felt that there was anything relaxing and pleasant, and he left behind what Xiaobai wanted to show him before.
looked at the sky and said resolutely: "Let's go, let's go to Peach Blossom Village." ”
Since the townspeople of Taoyuan Town will go to ask the owner of Peach Blossom Village to make a move, then presumably this person should have some ways to go even if he is not a cultivator, maybe they can get some useful clues from Peach Blossom Village.
Xiaobai nodded, folded the notes, stuffed them back into the original white lamp, and put them back into Peach Blossom Creek one by one until they disappeared at the end of the stream, then turned around and said to Chen Heng: "Let's go!"
Xiaobai is a sentimental person, and when he encounters this kind of thing in Taoyuan Town, it is normal for him to feel a little depressed, Chen Heng was not surprised, until he finished everything, and then walked towards a mountain not far away.
The two of them had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they were silent with each other, walking quietly on the road.
Not long after leaving, I suddenly saw a purple light in the sky rushing by, flashing away, and cast onto the bank of Peach Blossom Creek.
"What's that?"
Seeing the purple light, Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim.
The direction in which the purple light fell was the place where they saw the townspeople of Taoyuan Town crying just now, and for the first time, Xiaobai thought it was the hidden demon.
However, when his body had just moved and was about to rush over there, he was stopped by Chen Heng.
"This aura is very pure, it should be orthodox, not a crooked demon. Perhaps, he should be the legendary immortal!"
Before, on the bank of Peach Blossom Creek, the girl told them that if a relative died unjustly, put a white light in Peach Blossom Creek late at night, so that they could go straight to the sky and send immortals to help them.
At that time, they thought it was just a rumor, but they didn't expect that Taoyuan Town really had a high-ranking person to protect it.
Xiaobai said strangely: "Since this is the case, then we can help somehow much in the past, right?"
Chen Heng shook his head, "Even if he is really a cultivator, he is also a person from a nearby scattered cultivator or a small sect, he was just attracted by the light of these white lights, and he definitely doesn't know the situation." Let's not meet him for the time being, let's go directly to Taohuazhuang. ”
After listening to Chen Heng's analysis, Xiaobai suddenly came over, if the so-called immortals knew the reason, they would not wait until so many people had an accident and released the white light before rushing over.
These white lights can't reach the sky at all, they are just equivalent to a signal.
The cultivators who secretly sheltered Taoyuan Town, once they saw the white light from a distance, they knew that something was wrong here, and they would rush over as soon as possible.
So even if they go now, it's impossible to get any clues.
Thinking about these clearly, Xiao Bai couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen, you can always think so far, Xiao Bai is afraid that he will never be able to catch up with you." ”
Chen Heng smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Who made me your big brother Chen? If you really let you surpass me, then wouldn't you be the eldest brother?"
"Less smelly and beautiful!" Xiao Bai took a sip and slapped Chen Heng's hand away, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the haze caused by those things before disappeared a little.
