Chapter 147: The Mayor's House That Bought a Lot of Animals
The content of the story is very simple, about thirty years ago, Tongjia Town was originally a thriving town.
The residents of the town are not said to be harmonious and loving, but it can be regarded as an excellent town.
Mainly, Tongjia Town at that time belonged to the situation of the transitional market, there was a big river in the south of Tongjia Town, and naturally Tongjia Town became a place where many people gathered, including monks, and sometimes settled in Tongjia Town.
With the geographical location of Tongjia Town, it is not too good for cultivators, after all, the vicinity of Tongjia Town is not a blessed land with sufficient spiritual energy, so it is not attractive to monks at all.
But for mortals, Tongjia Town is definitely a good place.
Lin Yuan can see through that Tongjia Town is a place of nurturing spirits, it doesn't mean that other monks can see through it, you must know that the profession of Heavenly Mechanic Feng Shui Master is very popular in the world, let alone monks who are really capable and have entered this path.
Tongjia Town, just listen to the name, you know, most of the people in the town have the surname Tong, and in this environment, the people surnamed Tong in the town basically have the same ancestor.
In Tongjia Town, the best, the most nourishing, the richest, the most land, and the most slaves are the Tong masters in the mouth of the merchants.
In fact, what the merchant said was not very accurate, the Tong Lao in his mouth was the Tong Lao of thirty years ago, and now thirty years have passed, and the original Tong Lao is gone, replaced by a new Tong Lao.
This Tong Lao Man is the largest landlord in Tongjia Town, and he is also the mayor of the entire Tongjia Town, and the chief of the entire Tong clan.
For a long time, the ancestor of the Tong family has been a great patriarch in the sacrifice.
As the merchant said, the ancestor of the Tong family was indeed a monk, but his strength was not strong, otherwise he would not have been reduced to breeding in Tongjia Town.
You must know that in the world of monks, multiplying children is a very solemn thing, and most monks will not have a child in their lifetime, on the contrary, there may be many disciples.
The original order of Tongjia Town was very harmonious, and under the leadership of the patriarch, the days of Tongjia Town can be said to be thriving.
However, since thirty years ago, when a new patriarch succeeded him, the atmosphere in Tongjia Town has changed.
I don't know what the reason is, the family of the patriarch who was eager to write their power on their faces on weekdays suddenly became low-key.
On weekdays, there is no human figure at all, only slaves buy every day.
Only when it is time for the clan to sacrifice will the great patriarch show up.
As we all know, as a leader, you must often appear on various occasions and use various means to win people's hearts, so as to maintain the vigorous development of a force.
Although Tongjia Town is only a small town, the position of the great patriarch in Tongjia Town is equivalent to the emperor.
Without the presence of the leader, Tongjia Town soon fell into a stage of sluggish development.
If it weren't for the fact that the patriarch's family still maintained a large amount of material purchases, the people in the town would still think that their family had an accident.
As a result, Tongjia Town fell into a very strange atmosphere.
Until now.
After listening to the story told by the shopkeeper, Lin Yuan frowned.
He felt that there must be something wrong with this story, otherwise how could the luck of Tongjia Town be so strange?
From Lin Yuan's point of view, the sky above the entire Tongjia Town was gray, and even a little black.
This is very fatal in terms of luck.
There is definitely something wrong with Tongjia Town, and the so-called family of the great patriarch is definitely in a situation.
"Then you haven't thought about changing this situation?"
Lin Yuan looked at the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was in front of the counter, supporting his head, with an indifferent expression on his face, and even a little disdainful.
"Change? What can change, in Tongjia Town, the patriarch's family is the emperor, and most people regard the patriarch's family as gods, this is not my nonsense, every year when the town is sacrificed, the patriarch will always show his hands, which I have seen with my own eyes. ”
"Moreover, what kind of voice can people with foreign surnames like us have in the town? Don't hide it, I'm not a native of Tongjia Town, I heard how good Tongjia Town is, so I sold my family property and wanted to settle down in Tongjia Town, but I didn't expect it to be this ghost, and now it's like that every day, even if I am dissatisfied? ”
The shopkeeper yawned boredly, his eyes were full of boredom, of course, this was not for Lin Yuan.
"Oh yes, the Taoist chief must not talk about this matter, there is a problem with the mayor's family, we have actually seen it a long time ago, but if our people have too little say in the town, and those children in the town are too obsessed with the authority of the big patriarch, in case something goes wrong, a small family like us can't resist it."
The shopkeeper said, his face changed, and he looked around cautiously.
Lin Yuan also observed suspiciously, and as a result, he found that there was suddenly movement in the originally calm town.
A young man dressed in ordinary clothes was driving a herd of sturdy green oxen in one direction.
During this time, the road was silent, as if something terrible was there.
It wasn't until the herd had passed a long distance that the shopkeeper beside Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the direction in which the cattle were leaving, and said to Lin Yuan.
"No, Dao Chief, that is the direction to the mayor's house, over the years, the mayor's family has bought a large number of domestic animals or something, the most outrageous thing is that they have to be young and middle-aged livestock, and these beasts have never come out since they entered the mayor's house, I tell you, there was a young man who was angry, relying on his youth and strength, and went to the mayor's house to see, but he didn't see anything, and those beasts seemed to have disappeared."
"The most amazing thing is that the young and strong young man seems to have changed since then, and it didn't take long for him to get sick and die."
The shopkeeper's eyes became a little complicated, and this kind of story was like a fantasy to tell.
But it really happened, when someone in the town asked about it, the mayor's family always thought that the sacrifice was prepared.
But every time the sacrifice was made, there were no animals on the stage.
That's a sacrifice, although it's very solemn, but the explanation given by Mayor Tong's family is too biased, your family uses so many beasts for sacrifice? And it's not yet on the table.
This is the end of the story, and the shopkeeper doesn't know much, but he just tells what he knows.
In the shopkeeper's confused eyes looking at the silver, Lin Yuan slowly left the shop.
The problem of Tongjia Town has been going on for a long time, for thirty years, even the need to buy livestock is enough to bankrupt the mayor's family, but this move has lasted so long, and there has been no property scandal in the mayor's family.
And according to the information gathered now, Lin Yuan had reason to suspect that the mayor of that town was cultivating some kind of evil law.
