Chapter 12: Frustration (12)
Thinking of this, Qi Bei breathed a sigh of relief. She came from Jun'an City, I am afraid that she doesn't know about the disappearance of the Golden Crow God and the reincarnation of the two Jiazi, and it doesn't matter if she marries a foreign woman or not, whether she invites the Golden Crow God to follow the wind to the city, and whether she is in danger with the wind in the city.
"Auntie, what about the sixteen-character prophecy?" In order to ensure that the inference is foolproof, Qi Bei still has to get to the bottom of it.
Who knows that this question can ask a big question.
The eldest lady took a sip of water: "You also know that when our city was just established, there was a great battle between heaven and earth and ghosts." β
Qi Bei hurriedly nodded: "I've heard of it, I've heard of it." He immediately recalled the horror story told by the boss of Yuyu Rice Noodles, "Everyone is telling that if it weren't for the Golden Crow God to come to the rescue, Fenglin City would be finished." β
This sixteen-character prophecy is a reproduction of ancient legends. The eldest lady sighed, "Because the Taishi Mansion has not changed repeatedly, the sins of Fenglin City are so heavy that they can't be washed away." The 16-character prophecy is the punishment that God has descended on! The entry of a hundred people into the city is a doomed disaster when the wind comes to the city. β
Qi Bei only felt a slight coldness behind his back: "Is Fenglin City really going to be destroyed?" Is it true that 'Baiyu enters the city'?"
"Of course it's true. Xuantong said that those ghosts have actually entered the city. β
Baiyu has entered the city. Sure enough, it's the same rhetoric. If a disaster really happens, you must be the first to report it. Qi Bei hurriedly knelt beside the eldest lady and begged: "Auntie, you tell me more." Is Wind Landing really going to perish? Is Baiyu so powerful?"
"Child, don't be afraid, as long as there is the Golden Crow God and the Xuantong Layman, we will not die. The eldest lady clenched her fists very firmly.
"But you just said that the Golden Crow God abandoned Fenglin City, so will the Golden Crow God still come?"
"I heard Xuantong lay priest say that as long as there is a pious new city owner, the Golden Crow God will not abandon the Fenglin that was built by himself!" the eldest lady nodded firmly, "However, if the anger of the heavenly god does not subside, the Golden Crow God will not come, and the Golden Crow God will not come. So, Xuantong Layman has to hurry up and become the city lord. β
The Xuantong monk really wants to seize the position of the city lord. Qi Bei took a breath and felt like he had countless major secrets stuffed into his head.
More and more people gathered in the temple, and in the palm-sized open space, people were almost unable to stand on their feet. It seems that there are not a few people who believe in the words of Xuantong Jushi and think that Master Taishi has lost his qualifications as the city lord.
He couldn't get around the scene of the three sneaky spies outside the old mansion, and confirmed over and over again that it had nothing to do with Mrs. Bailing, and tried to ask: "Auntie, actually, well, I saw those three people today," he pointed to the three people waiting next to the statue of the golden crow, indicating their identities, "Feel the way outside the old mansion of Taishi." β
The eldest lady recognized it and said clearly: "Those three people are all disciples of Xuantong monks. β
Qi Bei cautiously asked the question he was most concerned about: "Master Taishi doesn't live in the old mansion, right?"
"I heard that the Xuantong monk has found a very powerful killer in the Western Regions. If we can get rid of the person who led the hundred dragons into the city as soon as possible, the sixteen-character prophecy will be broken. β
Qi Bei secretly said: Then, the most critical question is-
"Did the Xuantong monk say that the person who wants to kill is the person who introduced Baiyu into Fenglin City?"
No one knew how hard and painful Qi Bei's throat and vocal cords rubbed when he asked this question. He didn't want to make a sound, because he always felt that some words seemed to be a foregone conclusion once they came out. And how he wished, never hearβ
The eldest lady glanced at him: "Who else could it be?"
Qi Bei's throat suddenly couldn't make a sound. The three spies sneaked around in front of the old mansion and discussed inviting the Nishizawa killer to kill-
The eldest lady had a cold face and ruthlessly accused the murderer who led the wolf into the house to destroy Fenglin City: "The lady who lives in the old mansion is from Jun'an City." β
Qi Bei was suffocated!
Crackling, booming, booming.
Five thunderbolts!
What?!What did she just say?!
Qi Bei didn't know how to move, he clutched the sleeve of the eldest lady tightly, his face was as white as paper, his breath was short, his tongue was knotted, his throat was cold, and he couldn't stand steadily. It was as if a big ball of cotton was stuffed in my ears, what did the eldest lady say just now? Who is in the old mansion? Who is from Jun'an City? What I just heard is the Taishi Old Mansion? Is it the imperial official who lives in the old mansion? Is it Qin Zhi from Jun'an City?
He coughed violently, and his throat was almost bleeding, but he still felt like he had blocked a piece of phlegm, and he couldn't speak. At this time, the two Taoist boys walked out of the side door and shook the copper bell in their hands, and the crowd immediately quieted down.
The Xuantong monk appeared.
The eldest lady didn't care about talking to Qi Bei, hurriedly put away the bucket, squeezed to the front of the crowd, and like all believers, folded her hands, knelt down reverently, and kowtowed to the Xuantong monk who walked out slowly. Qi Bei had no choice but to follow her closely, kneeling down like everyone else, his whole body swayed, and his spirit was in a trance.
Those who came from Jun'an City and lived in the old mansion of Taishi, that lady......
Oh my God, how many ladies are there? There must be two, right? There must be more than one, right? Surely not, it won't be, yes, it's her......
The gray-robed Xuantong monk had a bit of a fairy style, and indifferently accepted the hundreds of people in front of him prostrate on the ground, as if he had ascended to the throne of the city lord in the wind. Suddenly, the statue of the Golden Crow God behind him emitted a golden light, and the gods appeared like spirits, and the pious believers saw this, and they kept kowtowing and shouting "The Golden Crow God" in their mouths. After all, Qi Bei was born in a hundred opera troupes, and he was familiar with tricks such as spitting fire, and secretly looked at the intoxicated expressions on the faces of the believers around him, and wondered in his heart, isn't it just igniting copper and aluminum powder, why does everyone believe that it is the divine power of the Golden Crow God?
I only heard the Xuantong monk speak, and said: "Today, the wind is coming to the city lord is unkind, and he abandons God in the wilderness and ignores it. If today's Xuan Pavilion changes, and hundreds of people invade the city, if we sit and wait to die, the thousand-year-old city will be destroyed in one fell swoop. β
All of them had frightened expressions on their faces, like iron nails, firmly absorbed by the words of the Xuantong monk.
"However," said the layman, "the Golden Crow God is merciful and cannot bear to see his people in dire straits, as long as we are united, we will be able to maintain the stability of the wind." The cheers of the believers came and went. The layman waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Fortunately, with the help of the gods, we have found a swordsman, a hero from ancient times, and we will go to kill the hundred dragons tonight, and the sixteen-character prophecy will be self-defeating, and the wind will be prosperous and peaceful!"
"Layman, let's meet that young man with a knife!" In the high cheers, Qi Bei's face couldn't be more sad. The person he wants to kill is his sweetheart.
