Chapter 30 [Xijiang - Haunted House]
(The first more, I go to the second chapter, and strive to come out before twelve o'clock.) )
Xijiang Town is located in the south of Luozhou, Shenyuan Continent, and is named after the western part of a Grand Canal called the Nile River. The perennial business and trade exchanges have made Xijiang Town develop bigger and bigger, although it is still named after the town, but it is actually more extensive and rich than the general city.
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water.
Xijiang Town is close to the Nile River, the Grand Canal, and almost every household in the town has a boat. or carrying people, or fishing, or merchant...... The usefulness of these ships varies.
Luo Laohan's boat was specially used to carry people, and it traveled from Xijiang Town to and from the surrounding towns.
Relying on the work of carrying people across the river, although Luo Laohan has no children and no daughters under his knees, he can barely make ends meet.
Luo Laohan has been crossing the river with people for almost half his life, and he has seen all kinds of strange people. But this is the first time he's seen such a strange combination as today.
Holding the oars with both hands paddling the boat, Luo Laohan couldn't help but look back at this strange combination in the canopy again: a young Taoist priest, a stunning beauty, and ...... A donkey!
Luo Laohan is strange here, he has held the boat for most of his life, young men and women, whether they are handsome or miserable, he has seen them. Although the combination of a young Taoist priest and a stunning beauty is rare, it is not unusual.
But what's the deal with adding a donkey?!
And, was the donkey a sperm or something? From the moment he got on the boat, he lay down on his side, with a look of disdain for everything around him......
This made Luo Laohan couldn't help but quietly look back at the donkey frequently.
But for Ye Yichen and the others in the canopy and the demons, Luo Laohan's actions that he thought were secret were naturally impossible to hide.
"Heh, this old man's taste is really curious. Ye Yichen smiled slightly, poked the stupid donkey lying on the ground with his hand, and whispered: "Your desperate love is here again, this old man is watching you be an old man pushing ...... Well, the old man rowed. ”
The stupid donkey gave him a blank look, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The sand whale on the side suddenly said loudly: "Where are you going, what are you looking for in Xijiang Town?"
When Ye Yichen heard this, he smiled and said, "If you are looking for people, you are also looking for things." ”
The conversation between the two did not lower their voices. After hearing this, Luo Laohan, who was paddling in front, laughed loudly and said: "This Taoist, if you go elsewhere, the old man will not talk about it." But if you want to go to Xijiang Town to find something, whether it is a person or an object, the old man should be able to help a little. I don't know who or what I'm looking for?"
Luo Laohan's words made Ye Yichen interested.
Although on the way from the Demon Barren Ridge all the way here, the young man named Zhang Manjiang told him a lot of things about Xijiang Town, but Zhang Manjiang has been worshipping a cultivator sect since he was a child, and he only comes back once in two or three years.
"Does the old man know that he lives in a family named Jiang You in Xijiang Town?" Ye Yichen asked.
This Jiang You is one of the four people in Shangguan Shenlong's memory who obtained the fragment of the "past" time law.
"Jiang You!"
Who would have thought that after Luo Laohan heard this name, his face suddenly changed! He shook his head again and again: "I don't know! I don't know!"
This look, in Ye Yichen's eyes, simply knows something.
"If the old man knows something, please let me know. Ye Yichen said with a smile, and at the same time reached into the sleeve of the robe, took out a gold ingot and handed it over.
Luo Laohan's eyes widened, looking at the gold ingot handed over by Ye Yichen, he didn't rush to take it, but swallowed his saliva and said, "Let's talk about it first, the old man will only tell you what he knows, and he will never follow!"
"It's nature. Ye Yichen replied with a smile.
Only then did Luo Laohan take the gold ingot with satisfaction, then cleared his throat and said: "This Jiang You family was originally a big family in our Xijiang Town! It is said that Jiang You himself is a cultivator! It seems that he has reached the transformation realm or something, anyway, he can control the Nine Heavens Fire and the Netherworld Water with his mortal body! It is incredible!"
Luo Lao said with an exaggerated expression, wanting to see the shock on the faces of Ye Yichen and the others after hearing this.
But soon Luo Laohan was disappointed, and the two people on the boat, a donkey, did not react at all after listening to his words. Even the donkey snorted and sneered.
This made Luo Laohan very frustrated, and he no longer had the interest in narrating with pictures and colors, so he told Ye Yichen and others what he knew straightforwardly......
Jiang You is a native of Xijiang Town, and when he was a child, his family conditions were not good.
At that time, the Nile was not yet the Grand Canal, and there were no merchant ships that frequented it. At that time, Xijiang Town was just a small town in Luozhou that no one knew, with a population of no more than 1,000 households. People make a living by fishing and planting, as well as hunting wild animals in the mountains.
When the harvest is bad, it snows in winter, and it is not uncommon for poor people in the town to starve to death and freeze to death one or two people.
Jiang You's family was very poor at that time, and several brothers in the family starved to death.
When Jiang You was seven years old, he had an illness, and the harvest was not very good that year, and his parents originally thought that Jiang You would not survive that winter. But fortunately, a tourist happened to pass by Xijiang Town at that time and asked Jiang You, who was critically ill, to go with a lot of silver.
Jiang You had been gone for seven years, and when he came back, he was already a very powerful cultivator.
After that, Jiang You relied on his ability to go south and north, and within a few years, Jiang You's family became a big family in Xijiang Town.
But the good times didn't last long, and more than ten years ago, Jiang You returned home again.
But not long after he came back, one night, a very terrible scream suddenly came from inside the Jiang family's mansion! According to the neighbors around the Jiang family, the blood splashed at that time could directly cross the courtyard wall more than three meters high and shoot outside!
Such a tragic scene, naturally no one dared to go to the Jiang family's mansion to see what was going on at that time.
When the next day, when the official sent the head to check, he found that the entire Jiang family had been slaughtered, and the blood directly stained the entire house!
If it is just like this, it can only be said to be a relatively bloody tragedy.
Unfortunately, that's not all.
Every night after that, this kind of scream would be heard in the Jiang family's mansion, reproducing the scene of blood splattered more than three meters high! However, just the reappearance of such a horrific scene at night also frightened the surrounding townspeople to move away.
Someone was brave enough to go in at night when there was a scream in the Jiang family's mansion to find out, but it was gone, and, strangely, the corpses of these people could not be found at all when they went in during the day!
This matter gradually spread, and many good people went to Jiang's house at night, either to bet on courage or to find out. But without exception, none of them ever returned.
The surrounding residents moved out one after another, and the area where the Jiang family was located gradually became uninhabited, and eventually, it became a deserted house.
And the Jiang family has also become one of the countless deserted mansions - a ghost mansion!
