The witch god punishes the people of the Western State?

It's not the first time Liu Yunxiang has heard this kind of statement, "Why did the witch god punish the people of Xizhou?" ”

"It's not because of the ...... of King Suping"

When the proprietress said this, her expression suddenly froze, and she listened carefully again, and whispered: "Ah, they are here." ”

Liu Yunxiang listened carefully, there was a bell outside, but this bell was terrifying to hear.

Clang...... Clang...... Clang......

Each sound stretched out long, piercing the night, as if coming from a distant land.

Without waiting for Liu Yunxiang to ask clearly, the proprietress hurriedly turned around and walked out, and when she went out, she also explained that if the two of them were fine, don't forget to go downstairs, and don't go out at night.

After the proprietress left, Liu Yunxiang and Zijin glanced at each other, and both the master and servant were very curious. The two of them leaned over to the window and opened a slit to look out. It was pitch black outside, but there were four clusters of fire flickering, and with the sound of the bell, from far to near.

When I got closer, I saw that there were nine people, all dressed in wide white clothes, with their hair scattered, and their faces could not be seen clearly. Dressed like this, it was at night, and with the ringing of the bell, it was like a white ghost emerging from the ground.

In their row, the rattle bell at the front, the four people in the middle were carrying torches, and the four people in the back carried a large black wooden box.

Before they could get to them, the innkeeper and the proprietress had already gone out. The two knelt down on one knee with their hands crossed and saluted in a very special gesture.

And the leader stepped forward, like the two couples with their hands crossed, nodded on the heads of the boss and the proprietress respectively, read something, and then stepped back.

The boss and the lady got up and hurriedly invited them in.

Zijin closed the window and sighed, "What kind of people are these people, strange and mysterious." ”

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, "I think they should be the 'messengers of the witch god' in Lao Zhang's mouth." ”

"If they were messengers, then the big wooden box just now contained the corpses of the children they had poisoned?" Zijin thought down.

"It should be."

There was a lot of movement downstairs, and the innkeeper and the proprietress were greeting these people. Then there was movement in the backyard, and then there was the fire.

Liu Yunxiang came to the back window and looked down, and saw that they had already put the black wooden box in the courtyard, and then the eight people held the rune paper in their hands, and after lighting it, they began to jump around the black wooden box, and they were still muttering something.

When the paper was about to burn out, they placed it on the eight corners, sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes and recited the scriptures. After about a quarter of an hour, they got up and went downstairs.

This time, Liu Yunxiang and Zijin were stunned, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

"Girl, why do you feel like a bunch of neurotics?" Zijin sighed.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It's like some people believe in Buddhism and some people believe in Taoism, and they believe in witch gods." But we'll have to make sure if the box is a child's body. ”

Zijin nodded, "While they are eating, I'll take a look." ”

Zijin was about to go, but he heard crying from the backyard, and then opened the back window to see that the innkeeper was beating his son.

"It's not telling you not to run around, don't touch this holy thing, you stupid thing that can't be taught, angered the witch god, see if you still have a life!" The innkeeper hated it very much, and the innkeeper was on the side, although she was very distressed, but she didn't dare to step forward to stop it.

Until a white-robed person spoke, "That's it, the witch god still loves the people of Xizhou and won't bother with him." ”

Hearing this, the boss let go of his son, and asked the proprietress to quickly lead his son into the house, and then went to entertain those people.

Zijin stuck out his tongue, "It's just that I accidentally touched it, and they reacted so much, if I open it, I won't be chased and killed by them." ”

Liu Yunxiang looked at the wooden box in the courtyard and looked at it for a long time.

When it was late at night, when the white robes had gone back to their rooms to rest, Zijin quietly jumped down from the back window, looked around the black wooden box, and was about to step forward to open it. A white robe suddenly rushed out, and rushed towards her with a sword.

Zijin hurriedly turned around to fight, not wanting that this white robe's kung fu was not bad, the two of them had just passed a dozen moves, and other white robes arrived one after another. She knew that if she continued to fight, she would suffer a loss, so she hurriedly escaped over the wall.

Liu Yunxiang saw this scene through the crack in the window and exhaled a little. After Zijin escaped, several white robes did not chase after him, but sat directly around the black wooden box and began to meditate and rest.

Zijin slipped in through the front window and glanced through the gap in the back window.

"They're too cautious."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "That's it, we have already come to Panlong City, and the truth will be revealed soon." ”

The next day, Liu Yunxiang got up when she heard the movement below, she looked at the front window, and saw that the white robe and his party had already left the inn with the black box, and were walking towards the city gate in the faint light.

Liu Yunxiang and Zijin packed their clothes and came down, and saw the boss and the proprietress cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing that they were going downstairs, the proprietress hurriedly beckoned them to sit down.

"I'm going to bake you two meatloaf, okay?" The hostess asked.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at the table next door that had not yet been cleaned up, and said, "What they eat, you can serve us, don't be too troublesome." ”

"They eat raw white porridge and boiled vegetables, and you two are afraid that you will not be used to eating them." The proprietress said.

Zijin was curious, "That's all they eat?" ”

"Yes, they must be pure, not eat meat, but also eat raw rice to bitter their minds."

"All of a sudden?"

"No, it's like that."

Zijin tsk, I thought that this Witch God Sect was a three-class sect and a nine-rate one, but I didn't expect that there were still rules and precepts, and they were so strict.

"They often give to the people and heal the local people, and the people remember their goodness." The boss said while cleaning up the table next to him, "But we are all afraid that they will come to the house, just like they came last night, I didn't dare to sleep all night, and my heart has been hanging." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"I'm afraid that the witch god will take a fancy to his own child."

"Oh?"

"The witch god will search for the Holy Son in the world, and if he chooses him, the Holy Son will fall ill and die. These messengers would fill the child's body with charms, and then take the child's body away and offer it to the witch god. Although it is a child's blessing to serve the witch god, for us, death is death, who wants to be separated from the child Yin and Yang. ”

"So the black wooden box they carried was the corpse of a child who was chosen by the witch god and died of illness?" Zijin asked.

The boss nodded, "So my lady instructed the two of you not to go out as much as possible, so as not to provoke bad luck." ”

mentioned the word 'bad luck', the boss quickly took two sips and made up for it: "Blessing, blessing." ”

"But recently, they have brought back dozens of such black boxes from the outside, and they want to carry out a ceremony to worship the witch god or something." The boss said.
