Chapter 21 The Concept of Cannibalism
"The books are all here, and the good believers can read them at will." The little Taoist priest took Gu Sheng and the others to a side room, pushed open the door, and saw that there was a summer vacation, a table, and two chairs inside.
There were half shelves of books on the shelves, and Gu Sheng was in a very good mood when he saw these books.
"Lunch and dinner will be brought to the good faith, if the good faith needs anything, you can also say it directly."
"That's it, thank you." Gu Sheng walked to the bookshelf, his eyes first swept around, and found that most of the four books and five classics and poems and songs were also here, and many of them were still duplicated.
There are a few novels, a few travelogues, but there is not a single Taoist classic.
It stands to reason that there are usually people who spend a few days on the mountain, and generally Taoist temples should put a few Taoist classics......
I didn't feel anything when I saw Xu Daoren before, but at this time, I felt that everything was surprising in Qingyunguan.
Gu Sheng turned his head to see that the little Taoist priest hadn't left yet, so he asked casually, "Why don't you have Taoist classics?" ”
"We Qingyunguan only believe in Marshal Wen, the protector god, to kill demons and eliminate demons to protect the peace of the world, and to enter the world but not to be born, so we don't read those classics." The little Taoist priest said with a respectful face.
"I see, but I've always heard of Marshal Wen, but I don't know what the deeds of this Marshal Wen are?" Gu Sheng asked again.
"Marshal Wen's real name is Wen Liang, but in the early years of the previous dynasty, a talent who rushed to take the exam, one day when he went to the mountain village to stay, he found that a group of mountain bandits rushed into the village to loot, and drove people to a place, surrounded by knives and guns, intending to kill.
Although Wen Liang has courage, he is no match for that gang of bandits. In a hurry, he took off his clothes, took red flowers to dye his hair red, and took grass to dye his body blue, made a mountain ghost and jumped out, and killed a mountain bandit with a knife.
The other bandits were horrified when they saw this, and after being hacked to death by Wen Liang, they fled one after another.
It's a pity that Chiluan Hua is highly poisonous, although Wen Liang drove away the mountain bandits, he was finally poisoned and died. The local people were grateful for the grace of Wen Liang's life, so they set up statues and temples for Wen Liang.
The god of the three mountains saw that Wen Liang was upright and brave, and recruited his soul to be a subordinate official, as the god of Zuoyou, to protect one side, and later the emperor of heaven set up Wen Liang as the god of gold, the head of the three mountain generals, and then later promoted to the marshal of the three mountains of soldiers and horses.
And Marshal Wen has also become one of my Taoist protectors. ”
"I see, thank you for your doubts." Gu Sheng nodded, it was a more down-to-earth folk tale.
As for how much is true and how much is false, then I don't know.
Gu Sheng rummaged through the bookshelves, took out a few travelogues first, and started with the thinnest one.
"Childe, you read here, I'll go and get the piano." Yan Ruyu said, that piano is the most expensive thing for the two, so it's better to take it.
And if Gu Sheng is tired, he can also encourage him to play the piano to relieve his boredom.
"Go ahead." Gu Sheng waved his hand and read a book by himself.
I have been seeing that in the evening, lunch and dinner are delivered to the door by a Taoist, and Yan Ruyu brings them in again.
After dinner, after a while, Gu Sheng finished reading this book.
"Let's go"
A fresh scent similar to medicinal herbs enters the nose, which makes people feel refreshed. Gu Sheng looked over at a glance and saw that it was a slender ginseng with extremely developed roots, more than half a meter long.
And a red rope is tied around the neck of the ginseng.
Yes, it's not lychees, fruits, or anything.
After reading the travelogue several times before, Gu Sheng got fruits and vegetables, which tasted extremely sweet and delicious, which left an extremely deep impression on the author of the travelogue.
This time it is a wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old.
Hundred-year-old ginseng is already a rare thing, and the rich buy it back for hanging, that is, people are dying and have one breath left, and they can hang their lives with hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and maybe they can save people again.
As for the wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old, this thing is already hard to find.
Even Gu Sheng can use it now, and this thing can also be used as a great medicine for forging bones to speed up the speed of forging bones.
"Put it away, don't let it run away." Gu Sheng handed the ginseng to Yan Ruyudao.
"Can you really run?" Yan Ruyu's eyes flashed.
"Maybe you will fall to the ground and run away." Gu Sheng said with a smile.
Yan Ruyu wrapped the ginseng with a piece of cloth and said coquettishly: "Go back and find a wooden box and put it in, and then wrap it with a rope, it will definitely be foolproof." ”
"Good idea." Gu Sheng smiled, stretched his waist, and returned to the room to refine his body.
After a few moments, the whole room was heating up, and there seemed to be a burning fire in the middle of the room.
Yan Ruyu was sweating profusely, walked to the side and wanted to open the window, but suddenly frowned: "What smell?" ”
She smelled a sweet and somewhat greasy aroma, she was a little stunned at first, turned her head and winked at Gu Sheng, and gently pushed open the window with her fingers.
Then he said coquettishly: "Oops, why are you so dizzy all of ...... all of a sudden?"
His body staggered, his eyes swept from side to side, trying to find a more comfortable place to lie down, and finally threw himself on the bed.
Gu Sheng retracted his movements, exhaled a breath of arrow, and the steam could be faintly seen above his head, and then fell to the ground with a pop.
There was a soft click, and the wall moved to the side, and two Taoists walked out of it.
"You drag this, I'll drag that little lady." One said.
"Phew, you drag this, I'll drag the little lady, I saw it when I delivered the meal at night, and the eyes and body hooked people's hearts itched." The other spat out.
"It's a pity, these two people are people named by Marshal Wen, otherwise they can enjoy it first."
"When Marshal Wen finishes eating, there will be no bones left."
The two walked into the room as they spoke, and at this moment, Gu Sheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst out, kicked a person away, and the sound of broken bones sounded one after another.
At the same time, he grabbed another person by the neck with a lightning bolt.
The man desperately pulled Gu Sheng's hand, and seeing that the man was almost out of breath, Gu Sheng let go of a little strength, stared at him expressionlessly and asked, "What is Marshal Wen?" ”
"You are so bold, Marshal Wen is the Marshal of the Three Mountains Soldiers and Horses, and if he is angry, a thunderstorm will fall immediately." As soon as the man said a word, Gu Sheng tightened the substance again, pinched his mouth with one hand, and kicked his calf off with one kick.
"Hmm——!" The man howled, but he couldn't make much noise.
Gu Sheng's five fingers loosened a little again: "What is Marshal Wen?" ”
"Marshal Wen is Marshal of the Three Mountains Soldiers and Horses......"
Gu Sheng operated again as he did just now, kicked off his other leg, and then asked word by word:
"What is Marshal Wen?"
"I don't know, I don't know, I haven't seen it, it's all conveyed by the senior brother......"
"Marshal Wen sometimes picks some people from among the people who come to the temple, and we are responsible for arresting them, and those people never come out again...... It is said that it was eaten......"
"Please let me go, I'm sure I won't shout."
The man was covered in cold sweat and said quickly, his eyes full of begging.
I just hope that after I finish answering, the other party can let me go.
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and asked again, "How many people have you arrested?" ”
"Only once or twice a month, and only Marshal Wen has a fancy to someone will instruct us to send it over."
"If someone goes missing in Qingyunguan, their family will definitely not give up, and it should have been spread a long time ago, why have I never heard of it?" Gu Sheng asked again.
"I don't know...... But I've heard from my brother that all of those people's families have been eaten by monsters, or killed by ghosts......"
Gu Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter, and his heart was full of MMP.
In other words, many monsters and ghosts outside are all made by this Qingyunguan?
Did the monsters in Qingyang County also come up with them this time?
And then he deliberately ran to their lair? Takeaway made a bag and delivered it to the door, what is this?
"What's in the Secret Passage? Where is Xu Daoren? In addition to Xu Daoren, who else is powerful in Qingyunguan? ”
"I don't know what's inside, there's only a small area I can move around, and I'm in charge of dragging people into it with two senior brothers, and then someone else will take over......"
"The master has to retreat for three days every month, and the master has been in retreat since the day before yesterday, and will leave tomorrow night and the morning after tomorrow......
"And the senior brother is also powerful...... There was a person who wanted to run before, but he was caught by the elder brother and fed the bugs...... We're forced too......"
Gu Sheng asked some more things, but when he saw that he couldn't ask anything, he pinched his neck with a hard hand.
Turning his head, he saw Yan Ruyu stepping on the neck of the person on the ground, making a crisp sound of bones breaking.
This little vixen usually looks cute and cute, but she is not soft at all when it is time to do it.
"Childe, this nest is not a good person, that Marshal Wen may be a monster, what should I do?"
