Chapter 45: Go to the Gym
Li Huaiyun saw the middle-aged man who jumped out of the room, this person was excited, opened his hands, and pressed against the door, inside were two women who wanted to squeeze out.
One old and one young, at first glance, they know that they are men's wives and daughters,
"I still want to follow, you are shameless, what is the situation at home!"
The man shouted hysterically, "That gym is simply harming people." ”
The two women inside the door talked but didn't think so, their eyes were a little glazed, they didn't say anything, and still squeezed towards the door like walking corpses.
The look of fanaticism and adoration is puzzling.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to be unstoppable, Li Huaiyun and Ah Tian glanced at each other, then stood behind the man, and pushed the man and the two women into the room with all their might.
They also entered the house and closed the door.
"Who are you?"
The elderly man asked warily, and he put his hands in front of the two women, who were still in front of him, even though they were unconscious.
It's just that the man's wife and woman ignored the obstacles, and directly wanted to bypass them, ran out of the door, and were knocked out by the two of them.
Seeing this, the man thought that the two of them seemed to be trying to do evil, so he immediately picked up the farm tools from the side of the wall and pointed them at them, "Who are you and what do you want to do?" ”
From time to time, his eyes looked at his wife and daughter lying on the ground, "If you dare to touch them, I will definitely fight with you!" ”
Li Huaiyun picked up the token on his waist, "This old man, don't be nervous, we are the demon hunters of the Demon Slayer Division!" ”
"Demon Slayer!"
Hearing this, the old man put down the farm tools tremblingly, and knelt directly on the ground with tears on his face, that appearance was moving, "Demon Slayer Division, the imperial court has finally sent someone down, if you don't come again, this Xiakou Town is really going to be finished!" ”
"Uncle! You have to do it! Li Huaiyun and Ah Tian helped up the man who was kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me more!"
This middle-aged man is a farmer in Xiakou Town, who has been farming here for generations, and his life is not too poor.
It's just that I don't know when a fortune teller popped up in Xiakou Town, and later built a dojo, and no one knows the specific location.
At first, few people went there to burn incense and worship, but because of the yellow rune paper produced there, the effect of keeping peace was very good, and slowly the incense began to flourish.
Many people in the town go there on weekdays to worship and pray for safety.
It was only later that in order to attract more believers, this dojo said that if the incense money given reached a certain amount, it would get a special jade product of Bao'an.
At the beginning, there were very few people who donated incense money for that object, but once someone got that thing and hyped it, more and more people would donate incense for the object.
Li Huaiyun took out the jade carving in his hand, "Uncle, the jade product you said is this?" ”
When the old farmer saw the jade carving, his face showed a frightened look, and he pointed at the jade carving with a trembling arm, "Yes, that's it, I took it to the pawnshop, and I only got three taels of silver in exchange." ”
He covered his eyes and cried in a low voice, "They secretly spent their family's savings for many years, but the things they got in exchange were only worth so much money. ”
Listening to the old peasant's tragic experience, the two became more and more angry at the practice of this hall.
"With this thing, it completely makes the two of them crazy, and what they want to do every day is not to work, but to worship in the gym!"
The look on the old farmer's face gradually turned into anger, "When the people from the gym sent them back, I saw with my own eyes that the beasts in the gym attacked my daughter!" ”
He couldn't hide the anger in his heart at this time, "I don't know why they became like this. ”
Ah Tian clenched the hilt of the knife, and the anger in his heart was even worse, "Damn, uncle, why didn't you report to the official!" ”
"Reporter? The official master is also their believer, and he also helps them, I can only stop them every day, and I don't know what will happen if I don't stop them. ”
Who is in this hall?
Li Huaiyun asked, "There are also people like you who take this jade carving to the pawnshop, right?" ”
"Yes! However, there are only a few people, and the jade carving is not worth anything at all! Those people have basically lost a lot,"
"Those who worship have no one to work on their fields and their family savings have been spent, but this still does not stop them from going to worship, so some have betrayed their wives and daughters."
"It's too much!" The more Ah Tian listened, the more angry he became, he gritted his teeth and knocked on the wall gently, "It's just like a cult, it's completely knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow." ”
Li Huaiyun then asked, "Just now, the people from the Daoist Pavilion took those believers to walk on the streets of the town, and they went to the Daoguan, right?" ”
"Yes, it is said that what is the true monarch descending to earth, once a month, it needs to be greeted with the largest grand scene, and when the time comes, what kind of ceremony will be carried out in the entire Dao Hall, I guess when the time comes, someone will have to give the money."
Li Huaiyun thought to himself, once a month, is this special true monarch a woman?
"Uncle, how did your wife and daughter join? We want to blend in with the parade first. ”
The old peasant went into the inner room and took out the gray hooded robe, "In order not to let them go, I will hide this robe, and as long as it is a female believer, I will give you this robe." ”
Li Huaiyun took the robes handed over and joined the team as a female believer?
He felt the chrysanthemum tighten, but there was no other good way at the moment, it was almost an hour, and the procession was coming to an end.
"Uncle, do you know the route?"
"They all left at the entrance of town!"
"Great! Later, it will be handed over to us to the Demon Slayer Division, and this evil gym must be destroyed. ”
With tears in his eyes, the old farmer knelt on the ground again, and then thanked him, "You two, you must destroy this hall, and you can't let them continue to harm people." ”
The two of them reached out and pulled the old farmer up, "Don't worry! ”
Li Huaiyun and Ah Tian walked out of the house, looked in the direction of the march just now, they turned into the alley, prepared to change their hoods, and then blended in.
Ah Tian was a little timid, he knew what situation he was facing.
"Ah Yun, we should inform the Demon Slayer Division first! It would be very dangerous to sneak in like this. ”
Li Huaiyun explained, "The main reason is that the time to go back and forth is too long, even if it doesn't stop for a moment, it will take nearly half an hour." ”
"As long as they leave the town, they will have to wait for a month, and the people in the town can't wait, let alone run away directly."
With a solemn gaze, he looked around this desolate street, "We can wait, but the people in this town can't wait, and the later they are, the more vigilant they will be." ”
Ah Tian still insisted on his own opinion in his heart, and felt that it was too dangerous to rush in, after all, they were isolated now, in case they were discovered, with the cultivation of the two of them, they were not going to be crushed into slag, they had already seen the power of that monster.
"I still think it's inappropriate to sneak in like this, it's too dangerous! Notify the Demon Slayer Division first, that's right. ”
Li Huaiyun frowned, he looked at the gray robe in his hand, "That's it, you go back and tell the story first, let the Demon Slayer send someone, and I will blend in alone." ”
"This... It's not proper, you're alone, and if you don't take care of it, it's even more dangerous! ”
Li Huaiyun laughed indifferently, "It's okay!" Don't worry about me, after all, I still have a secret weapon on me, it won't be a problem to hold on for an hour or two, you can leave as soon as possible, the sooner I come, the safer I am. ”
Ah Tian pondered for a moment, and then nodded, thinking that this guy was improvisable and avoided many dangers before, and this time it should not be difficult for him.
"That's it, I'll get out of here first, and you're careful."
"Hmmm! You walk from the rest of the town, and if you run into someone at the entrance of the town, you're in trouble! ”
At this moment, a crow stopped at the edge of the house and let out a terrible cry.
Li Huaiyun looked at Ah Tian's back, thinking that since Ah Tian had an accident in the water prison, he was much more timid than before, and he no longer had that impulse, in other words, he was stable.
Maybe it's because of Fang Yuan, a woman!
He put on his hood, then leaped to the roof, and with his swiftness ran across the eaves, quickly approaching the procession.
Then he hid on the roof of a place, and after observing the route of the procession, he chose to hide in the alley of the street that must be passed.
As long as the procession passed there, he could blend directly into the procession.
Pitch-black crows hovered overhead.
After waiting patiently for a while, he finally found his chance and blended into the team.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the breeze was constantly blowing paper money and leaves on the ground.
Li Huaiyun pulled his hood down very much, lowered his head, no one could see his whole face, in order not to be recognized, he also deliberately learned the way a woman walked, and his crotch twisted and twisted.
This woman is really troublesome to walk!
The procession was relatively long, and he was surrounded by people dressed in this way, and they were mostly women, their eyes blank and their faces flushed. It's like something you've been through.
Li Huai used his spare eyes to look around the team, and saw that those men who maintained order and had strong muscles left the team from time to time and came to the house on the street, holding a cloth bag in their hands, and someone threw silver taels into the bag from the crack in the door, and soon the bag was full!
The people of this town are already in dire straits, and they have to take out the money! This hall is too evil.
He became more and more curious, who was the fortune teller who built the gym, and what was the relationship with the black-robed man, it was probably the same person.
After the procession reached the entrance of the town, they rested for a while and then walked out of the town.
At this moment, those who resembled guards took out a bell from their pockets and began to shake it, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed in their ears, as if to summon something.
Then, above the team's heads, a lot of white runes floated down, and a heavy fog slowly appeared in front of them, making it difficult to see the surrounding situation.
With the sound of bells and runes, the team entered the fog and walked forward.
After walking for a while in the fog, he finally came to the hall when the fog lifted.
Li Huaiyun wondered, he couldn't see anything in the fog, how did he pass through the fog, he turned his head sideways, glanced back, and found that behind the team was a narrow mountain road that curved and stretched.
When I came, it was obviously a flat road, but why was it this mountain road behind me?
He raised his head full of doubts and looked at the archway in front of the steps of the mountain, which was covered with moss, overgrown with weeds, and dilapidated, and the carvings and handwriting on the archway were blurred.
When Li Huaiyun saw the stone statues on both sides of the archway, he felt a little uncomfortable.
