"Quick! Fast! Fast! Lao Yang, isn't your daughter-in-law sick, why don't you go home and get steamed buns dipped in human blood to cure the disease! ”

"What's the hurry, I can't grab it today, isn't there still a batch of people to cut off tomorrow?"

"Today is different, today is the head of a scholar! Dip their blood in steamed buns, maybe your daughter-in-law's child will also become an official! ”

"What?! You didn't say it earlier! ”

Seeing the two people around him running home in a hurry, the Bodhisattva didn't kneel, and Amitabha Buddha didn't bother to shout, it seems that human blood steamed buns are more important.

The crowd suddenly surged and ran in one direction, Lin Shou was carried by the crowd, but he didn't resist and went to the place where the so-called vegetable market was beheaded.

I saw that at the entrance of the vegetable market, there were more than a dozen soldiers with spears in two teams.

In the center of the vegetable market, several strong men in red uniforms, with fat heads and big ears, held a ring-headed machete in their hands.

I saw those strong men pick up the wine jar on the side and pour it into their mouths, then spit on their machetes with a puff, and took out some old rags and wiped them on the knife.

This was followed by a group of fierce-looking officers and soldiers in armor, with more than a dozen shackles and a dozen prisoners in tattered prison clothes, with a dead silence on their faces.

Finally, there were several carts parked next to them, with bundles of blood-stained thatch on the side, apparently used to transport corpses.

The people gathered one after another, surrounding the three layers inside and the three layers outside, not only ordinary people watching the excitement, but also peddlers, pawns and even beggars, while those rich people carried fans and watched coldly from the teahouses on both sides of the vegetable market.

Lin Shou followed the crowd to the entrance of the vegetable market a little closer to the execution ground, holding an orange in his arms, and standing next to Ah Liang.

But at this time, Ah Liang frowned, and said to Lin Shou: "Master, this is not right, this place is obviously a torture ground that has been practiced for many years, but there is no evil spirit here!" It's weird! ”

Lin Shou raised his eyebrows, twisted out a magic trick in his hand, and then swept it in front of his eyes.

After a faint flash of light, Lin Shou could also see the evil situation in this vegetable market.

The situation is no different from what Ah Liang said, looking at the degree of dried blood stains on the ground, this should be an old execution ground for many years, but there is no evil spirit.

On the contrary, the place where the evil spirit is strongest is actually the executioner.

Lin Shou nodded slightly, grabbed a passer-by beside him who was watching the excitement and asked, "Brother, how many years has this place been used as an execution ground?" ”

The passer-by seemed to be a guy from a restaurant, about forty years old, who was caught by Lin Shou and was about to get angry, but found that Lin Shou had a handsome face.

Being able to stay in this part of the capital and still grow so handsome, either rich or expensive, the man immediately suppressed his anger and said: "Where do you know where to go, anyway, since I was born, this place has been used as an execution ground." ”

At this moment, there was another commotion at the entrance of the vegetable market in front of him.

"child, are the steamed buns ready? It's going to be cut! ”

"Ready!"

"I heard that there is another official in the beheading, who was ineffective in fighting in Soviet Province, and escaped with thousands of people, but his own county town is gone."

"Then what do you mean this official is a scholar?"

"That's for sure, it's not that a military general can't study, how can he be an official? What's more, even our Taizu of Daqian advocates military generals to read! ”

"Isn't that the blood steamed bun of this official can not only cure diseases, but also make the family a scholar?"

"Hey, do you know which prisoner is the officer?"

"Eh, I don't know this, the second son of the third aunt of my fourth master is an errand in the official mansion, and he said that the one who holds his head high is the official!"

"Thank you, thank you, but my brother has a relationship with his family, why are you a beggar?"

"This ......"

……

The people below are whispering, and the entrance of the vegetable market is bustling.

The supervisor was holding a brush in his hand, and there was a pot of tea on the table in front of him.

After drinking the tea and slugging his lips, the warden picked up a brush and sketched a little on the booklet in front of him.

Seeing this, the time announcer standing on the side hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.

"The hour has come, slash!"

The executioner twisted his neck with a large knife and pulled the arm that held the knife as if it was convenient to cut off the head next.

Most of the prisoners were crying and trembling with their necks pressed down by the officers and soldiers, and some of them were still dripping with feces and urine, and a strange smell came out of the scene.

The beheaded person trembled, and the people below were eager to try it with steamed buns.

Only the prisoner who was recognized as an official still held his head high, and refused to even kneel, and there was no fear of death in his eyes, but he sighed faintly and shouted: "I was born at the wrong time, I was born at the wrong time!" ”

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The big knives were swung down one by one, and the bloody round heads rolled off the stage with a gurgling grunt.

Only a headless corpse was left on the execution ground, and no matter how much blood there was in life, it turned into a slope of loess at this moment.

The officers and soldiers who were blocking the people were no longer in the way at this time, and the group of people rushed to take steamed buns and dip human blood in the bodies of the beheaded prisoners.

Seeing this, Lin Shou could only shake his head slowly, and sighed: "The people are foolish and the officials are mediocre, and they really look like the end of the dynasty, and I don't know if Mr. Zhong can have the ability to save the sky and give this dynasty another breath." ”

Just when the people were scrambling to dip the steamed buns in human blood, Lin Shou noticed that something was wrong.

"Ah Liang, why don't these people have a bad time to collect their souls when they die?" Lin Shou saw the souls of those dead people floating next to their corpses, and refused to leave for a long time, so he asked, "What the hell is the Chenghuang in the capital doing, it stands to reason that the incense here should be quite vigorous." ”

Ah Liang looked around and found that there was indeed no black and white impermanence or other soul seducing messengers, and he was also a little puzzled.

"Master, no, I don't even feel the smell of the city god in this area! Where did the city god of the capital go?! ”

Ah Liang suddenly felt a little frightened, a small county with a slightly larger population like Huashui County has a city god, it is impossible for such a large population in the capital to have a city god?

When Lin Shou heard this, his divine sense looked towards the City God Temple in the capital, and his eyes penetrated through countless buildings, and found that the clay statues in the City God Temple were indeed empty shells, and there was no existence of cultivators of the Incense Dao.

At this moment, Ah Liang suddenly said to Lin Shou: "No, sir, look, those souls and blood have actually merged into one and escaped into the ground!" ”

Lin Shou frowned slightly, and found that it was indeed as Ah Liang said, those souls turned into pure soul power, and the remaining heart essence and blood on those corpses fused into one piece, and all sank into the ground.

Lin Shou felt that something was wrong, and his divine sense sank into the ground along those essence bloods, only to find that the entire capital was covered with dense tunnels!

It is said to be an authentic, but in fact it is more like a slender pipe, which cannot even accommodate mice.

Obviously, this is not caused by animals, but more like human beings or other beings made up under the capital.

"I didn't expect that the inside of this capital is really authentic......" Lin Shou muttered to himself.

Ah Liang looked at his master with some confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.

Seeing that no one could understand his own stalks, Lin Shou could only sigh and shake his head.

And his divine consciousness had already been divided into thousands of parts along the tunnel at this moment, and in an instant, he had completed the exploration of the tunnels under the entire capital.

Lin Shou finally discovered the final destination of this tunnel, and it was also the final place where these essence blood and souls went.

It was a huge lake in the east of the capital, and it was hard to imagine that there was such a huge lake in the middle of this city.

At the same time, a magnificent palace was built in the middle of the lake.

The corners of Lin Shou's mouth curled, and he said to Ah Liang next to him: "Go, Poor Dao knows where this is wrong." ”

When Ah Liang was still stunned, Lin Shou dragged Ah Liang with one hand, and his body flew into the air in an instant.

When the people on earth saw this, they all exclaimed, and some even knelt down on the spot, just as they did when they knelt down to worship Gelaji.

"Wife, come out to see the gods!"

"Amitabha! God bless! ”

"People are Taoist priests and not bodhisattvas, what is Amitabha called."

"And what do you think it should be called?"

“……”

……

Ignoring what was happening on the ground, Lin Shou had already come to the middle of the lake.

Lin Shou's body was empty and stood on top of that magnificent palace, but Lin Shou didn't see anything wrong from this palace, what about the disappeared essence blood and soul?

Lin Shoumo rubbed his chin, bowed his head and pondered, the huge Buddha statue on the top of the palace stood with his hands folded without sorrow or joy.

Ah Liang and Tangerine were a little puzzled, why Lin Shou came here, is there anything strange about this place?

"Sir, is there a problem here?" Ah Liang asked.

The orange yawned in Lin Shou's arms and said, "Is the Taoist priest uncomfortable living in that small house at home, and wants to occupy this palace?" That meow wants the biggest room! ”

Ah Liang glanced at the orange, his own master is not such a superficial person.

Lin Shou didn't see anything abnormal for a while, but you must know that the main hall in this lake was originally the biggest abnormality.

You must know that the current emperor has been obsessed with monasticism for decades and respects Taoism as the state religion.

Although Daomen does not pay attention to this, under the effect of upward and downward movements, the atmosphere of the people's heavy Taoism is also very strong.

The government spent a lot of money to build large and small Taoist temples, and those cultivators who were not very good at cultivating in the subordinate sects of the Taoist sect, but were still very obsessed with the world, were willing to give the emperor this face.

And such an emperor, who would rather make the national power so weak, now he doesn't know why he is willing to build such a luxurious palace for a Buddhist sect that has been banned by the Taoist Gate.

Lin Shou couldn't help but start pinching his fingers to calculate, but found that there was no strange result.

It seems that the emperor has changed his attitude and wants to throw himself into the arms of Buddhism.

Although Taoism prohibits the large-scale spread of Buddhism in Middle-earth, it does not prohibit individual practice.

After all, when you go to the Daomen, you don't even care about the monks who sacrifice to the evil gods to get cultivation, and it doesn't matter if there is a monk in the Buddhist Gate as long as they don't preach.

In the past, Lin Shou still had some doubts about this, but with the improvement of his cultivation and the contact with [Mythology], it seems that the Dao Sect needs more high-level monks to step on the [Ascending God Long Steps].

Although I don't know what the purpose is, I hope that there will be more ascendants, or [myths], which is what the Daomen wants.

And the disappearance of those souls and essence blood, as well as the strange phenomenon that there was no city god in the capital, still made Lin Shou write down this matter.

"Hmph, these guys hide their heads and show their tails, they don't look like poor people at all, aren't poor roads the side door?" Lin Shou held his forehead and slowly fell.

Returning to those prosperous areas of the capital, Lin Shou found a passable-looking inn to rest.

Zhong Yunyi originally wanted to stay in Lin Shou to rest in his house.

But Lin Shou was not very interested in the intrigues in the court, and just wanted to find a quiet place to feel the style of the capital.

Having found a place to live, Lin Shou was ready to go and taste how the food in the capital was different from other places.

It's best to buy some blank paper along the way, after all, the paper man you tie yourself can transfer the cost of casting, and it is not too much at any time.

It's already noon, and the closer you get to where the restaurants are located, the more lively the local area becomes.

Came to a lively restaurant comparable to the beheading at the door of the vegetable market, a guy in front of the door was shouting hard, his voice can overwhelm the entire crowd in front of the door, it seems that he has to call all day.

This made Lin Shoudu feel a little surprised, you must know that this guy is just an ordinary person, and ordinary people can't tell what his voice is like all day long.

This restaurant has six floors, and in terms of appearance alone, it is not comparable to Lao Liang's humble tea shop.

Lin Shou followed the crowd and walked towards the inside of the restaurant together.

But the people who walked with Lin Shou were all people who were dressed in rich clothes, and Lin Shou was naturally a little conspicuous in his tattered and patched clothes.

The guy who was shouting at the door obviously saw Lin Shou, instinctively thought that Lin Shou was a beggar who asked for food, and wanted to drive him out, but after taking a closer look, he found that the tattered clothes Lin Shou was wearing were actually a Taoist robe, and in the end he still didn't make a move to drive people away.

Lin Shou noticed this detail, and the corners of his mouth curled.

I didn't expect that this emperor had cultivated the Tao for decades, and there were such benefits in respecting the Daomen.

Lin Shou took care of himself and found a table by the window and sat down, although the guy in the store blamed the guy at the door for letting a beggar in.

But the act of driving people out in public was not good after all, and he squeezed out a smiling face and walked over and asked, "What does this Taoist chief want to eat?" ”

Lin Shou smiled: "Serve all the famous dishes you have here." ”

The guy thought that Lin Shou was here to eat the overlord meal, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, we don't have credit here, do you want to think about it anymore?" ”

At this moment, a voice that was somewhat familiar to Lin Shou came.

"You just urge the kitchen to serve the food, I'll pay for this table!"
