Chapter 157: Speculation
The late autumn night is cold, but I can't resist the fear of half of my heart.
"This is really self-inflicted, but once this demon is born, how many innocent people will have to be killed."
The ghost doll scoffed, "There aren't many innocent people, one report and one report." ”
Zhang Zheng shook his head disapprovingly, since the daughter of the old couple was beaten to death by the people in the mansion for no reason, it was inevitable to take revenge, but because of his own selfishness, he harmed the entire Ning Mansion, and then the entire Taiping Town, and even the lives of more people.
It is really undesirable, and it is indeed a bad karma.
In the next half month, someone fell into the pond by the lotus pond for no reason, but it was only a one-person deep pool, but no one could escape, even if it was a good water.
The people of the Ning Mansion were already at peace, and the people were panicked, and the slaves were all silent like cold cicadas, and they walked away from the lotus pond.
In the lobby of Ningfu, a middle-aged man wearing a jade crown and a blue-striped brocade jade belt sat on the upper seat, the folds between his eyebrows were deep like a ditch, and under it were several old people and elders in the house, and several ladies and ladies sat on both sides with a group of young masters and young ladies, pinching brocade handkerchiefs in their hands, and they wanted to cry, thinking of the ghost born that day that the Taoist priest said, and felt even more panicked.
The second lady was restless, so she simply stood up, hugged her daughter who had just recovered from a serious illness with one hand, and begged, "Master, let's get out of here quickly." ”
Someone responded: "Yes, sir, during this time, the concubine's body is just worried all the time, and her heart is tormented, and her hair is silver." Let's go early. ”
There are also those who object, "Where can we go?" The nearest state and county are thousands of miles away, across the cannibalistic Liugu River, the caravan of the dart bureau often has to go without returning, our big family is out of the city, where can we solve the problem of dry food and rest on the road? What's more, it's hard to cross the river with bones, and then most of them die and leave? If you just stay here, at least there will be less bumps. ”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the lobby of Ningfu instantly shouted like an explosion, some of them were fighting to get out of the city, and some of them were swearing to stay here, each with their own opinions, and there were even ignorant children who sobbed in fear.
Taiping Town is located on a high terrain, built by the river, many years ago, according to the big river path, there are also many villages and towns around, forming a small and medium-sized settlement here, not only can be self-sufficient, but also can intersect with other towns thousands of miles away, but the road is a little farther.
But later, there was a sudden flood, and the surrounding villages were burned overnight, leaving Taiping Town with high terrain and not affected by flooding.
The flood lasted for three days, and then miraculously receded, and the submerged houses were washed away, leaving only the ruins and ruins, alone in the night complaining about the ravage.
Most of the surviving people also moved to the vicinity of Taiping Town, some entered Taiping Town to live, some settled outside the town, and some packed their bags and left this sad hometown.
Taiping Town once sent a team of more than ten people to retake the route to the outside town, but did not expect that the road had been cut off by a big river, and there was no boat to cross, so he made his own boat, and finally only three people came back alive and brought back news from the outside world.
Since then, the people of Taiping Town have lived in a corner of peace, and regularly send teams to trade outside, because Taiping Town is rich, there is a mining area in the north, and there are often caravans and miners who travel here.
Even so, the unpredictable and unpredictable river has become the grave of many passers-by, and it is difficult to cross.
Because almost every time someone crosses the river, almost someone dies, boating on the river, it seems that you can see the bones buried in the river, and slowly, the river is also passed on the name of the bone river.
The noise was harsh, and the old man's black hair gave birth to a few strands of silver because he was worried day and night, which was sandwiched between the black hair, which was particularly dazzling.
He propped his elbows on the chair, pressed his temples tiredly, his face turned pale, and shouted angrily: "Shut up! ”
In the midst of the chaos and noise, his anger was like thunder, and everyone sat back in their places, silent.
The gray-haired old man sitting on the lower seat of the old man coughed lightly twice and broke the silence, "We are old, our bodies and bones can't stand the fatigue of the boat, and we are scattered, and the road is also dragging you down, if you want to leave, leave us to go." ”
A group of juniors looked at him in surprise, some were puzzled, some were happy, and some were sad.
The rest of the old people also stood up and expressed their firmness.
The old man was also shocked, "This ......"
These old men include his mother, his uncle, and some of them who have made great contributions to the Ning Mansion.
According to the rules of Ningfu, only the eldest son can be in charge, and the rest of the descendants need to leave Taiping Town if they have children.
How could he abandon them in times of crisis, wouldn't he be a despicable villain who was unkind, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial?
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and finalized the conclusion of this matter, "There is no need to mention the matter of family migration, I will send someone to ask the Taoist chief to exorcise the demons, this method will not work and then discuss." ”
The council ended, and in the afternoon of the same day, a group of seven people secretly left the city from Ningfu, carrying simple bags and looking cautious.
Looking at the backs of a few people leaving in a hurry, Zhang Zheng also wanted to follow to take a look at the legendary cannibalistic Liugujiang without blinking.
She remembered that there were no rivers around Taiping Town, let alone the Liugu River, and the bamboo forest farther away.
The ghost doll said disdainfully: "You all know that this is an illusion, and it is not certain that it is fake." "Anyway, it doesn't have an impression of Liugujiang.
Zhang Zheng shook his head, "It shouldn't be fake, from the beginning to the present, there is no place in the illusion that is different from your memory, this should be the time when the ghost was born when it was reproduced." ”
"Then we have walked thousands of miles since we left here, why haven't we seen the Liugu River?"
Indeed, if the illusion is not fake, then why don't they see the Liugujiang outside the illusion, they can't disappear out of thin air.
Zhang Zheng stroked his chin and thought for a while before he suspected: "Could it be because this is not a complete Taiping Town......"
She had seen Zhidao Village, but according to the books left by the previous gentlemen of Zhidao Village, Zhidao Village needed to sacrifice his life in order to protect the safety of the village for a while.
It can be inferred from the side that Plantado Village should not exist in the mountain and sea realm, because of the sacrifices of the previous gentlemen in exchange for its safety in the mountain and sea realm.
In this case, it is impossible for Taiping Town to exist in the realm of mountains and seas.
The ghost doll didn't understand her inexplicable guess, and asked irritably, "What's incomplete?" Can Taiping Town still be incomplete? ”
Zhang Zheng didn't answer, but asked, "How did the people from Taiping Town leave?" ”
"How else can you leave......
Zhang Zheng heard the ghost doll's weakness, twisted his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "Huh? Let's be honest. ”
"Eaten by me! Alright, I've eaten it all! The ghost doll yelled to herself.
Although she had expected it, Zhang Zheng was still shocked when she heard this answer, but she didn't want this answer.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the expected criticism and disgust, the ghost doll glanced at Zhang Zheng, who was contemplative and confused, and said tentatively: "You don't scold me? ”
Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "What are you scolding for?" If a person is dead, can you get back to someone who has died? What's more, this is not your intention, the world is impermanent, and cause and effect are unpredictable. ”
As the yellow-robed Taoist priest said, the ghost demon is not a thing in this world, and he was reincarnated in this world by chance, and he should have died at birth and re-entered the ghost world, but he didn't think that when he was born, he devoured a resentful soul, causing him to be born smoothly.
There are no ghosts who have gone through the wrong world, but no matter how strong the resentful spirits are, the newborn ghosts cannot devour them, but they just encounter the same newborn resentful spirits, and the probability is really small to be negligible.
could have become a ghost world spirit in the ghost world, practiced the ghost path with excellent qualifications, and pursued the avenue, but he was involved in the so-called evil fate, and after two years of ignorance, he did not harm people out of his original intention.
Later, with the help of the Tao, he was able to re-enter reincarnation after a hundred years of sealing, and then return to the ghost world, but he was awakened again by people because of his own selfishness.
It is true that the people of Taiping Town are innocent, but if you really want to blame whose fault it is, how can you say that the way is clear?
The world is not black and white.
