Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Well Water Is Like Blood
If Su Yunjiao could get the praise of the dignified Purple Mansion Sword Immortal just now, even if she didn't say it on her face, she would have a color in her heart, but at this time, she was a little embarrassed.
In the past, my sister always said: "There are more than 100 people, and there are all kinds of people." "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. She has always felt that she has not been deeply touched, thinking that the people in the world are black and white, but today she found out that between black and white, there is another kind of people, saying that they are evil people, not to mention, they are ordinary people on weekdays, but if they are good people, it is to taint a "good" word, this kind of people want to have a good name, but they are not afraid of evil deeds, compared to those real traitors, but there is less capital for evil.
Li Xuandu looked at her demeanor in his eyes, and he could probably guess seven, seven, eight, eight, or eight, but he didn't mean to persuade her. Newcomers who have just entered the rivers and lakes always feel that the rivers and lakes are chic and wanton places, white clothes are like snow, coming and going like the wind, drinking wine and eating meat in big bowls, drawing swords and chivalrous deeds, people who enter the rivers and lakes with this idea are most likely to be hit head-on by the rivers and lakes, and all illusions are shattered in an instant, leaving only cold reality.
After a long time of mixing rivers and lakes, from stunned green to old rivers and lakes, you will gradually understand that this kind of wanton and chic rivers and lakes does exist, but it only belongs to a very small number of people, and the vast majority of people are rolling in the mud pond, just like a big lake, there may only be two or three angry Jiao who turn over the river, and the dragon covering the sea is only in the legend, and a large number of them are still mixed with cement loach and small fish and shrimp.
Jianghu is a heroic place, but it is not a good place. Some people say that "chivalry" on the rivers and lakes comes first, but it is only limited to words, and people who believe in this sentence and do not have enough ability to practice it will most likely be miserable. The spring breeze on the rivers and lakes is finally a minority, and most of them are still cold lights and night rain.
After Su Yunjiao walked out aimlessly, she stopped, looked at Li Xuandu, and asked, "Where are we going next?"
Li Xuan didn't answer, but pointed to the place not far ahead.
Su Yunjiao then looked at it, it was a well made of blue bricks, and there was a wheel on the well, and many people were waiting around the well platform to draw water.
But when she looked closer, she saw that something was wrong, and these people didn't seem to be waiting to fetch water, but were pointing around the well.
"It seems that something is wrong, let's go over and have a look," Li Xuandu said and walked in the direction of the well.
Su Yunjiao hurriedly followed.
The two of them squeezed into the crowd, looked inside, and saw that the well water seemed to be boiling water, gurgling upwards, and someone used the reels on the well platform to hit a bucket of water, and the well water that should have been clear turned into a turbid earthy yellow, as if someone had poured a lot of loess into the well.
Although Su Yunjiao didn't have much experience in the rivers and lakes, as a disciple of Cihang Sect, she also knew that this matter was unusual, and she couldn't help but look at Li Xuandu.
Li Xuandu's face was expressionless, but invisibly, there was still a bit of heaviness between his eyebrows, he slowly took a few steps forward, and lightly touched the long rope wrapped around the shaft platform with his fingers, after the long rope was soaked in well water, it revealed a little cold, Li Xuandu put his fingertips to his nose and sniffed, faintly smelling like a corpse rotting.
Since ancient times, there is a saying that the well water leads to the netherworld, so the well water yin is extremely heavy, compared to rainwater, spring water, rivers and lakes water, in the tea ceremony has always been considered inferior, but the ordinary well water no matter how thick the yin is not to the point of being so thick, the yin is an illusory thing, unpredictable, but at this time the yin is rich to almost the substance, which will make the well water turn into an earthy yellow color.
Where does this yin energy come from?
At some point, there was a middle-aged scribe in the crowd, and said with a smile: "The well water in the well needs to be boiled, but the steamed buns can't be steamed." ”
Li Xuandu turned his head sharply to look at the scribe.
The scribe smiled at Li Xuandu and said, "A catastrophe is coming, why don't you leave quickly?"
"Who are you?" Li Xuandu was shocked.
The scribe unfolded the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", fanning the breeze and laughing without saying a word.
The people who were watching were unaware of this scene, and they were as if they had not seen it.
Su Yunjiao held down the hilt of her sword and rushed towards this person.
But the result was that Su Yunjiao rushed by, and she didn't touch the man at all.
Li Xuandu walked out of the crowd and said to Su Yuncheng: "Don't waste your efforts, it's the 'doppelganger method' in the 'Yin God Dafa', and his real body is not here." ”
The middle-aged scribe shook the folding fan lightly and said: "Suddenly I saw a chain of fire in the sky, it seems that the Jade Emperor wants to eat tobacco." If the Jade Emperor doesn't eat cigarettes, why is it another chain of fire? I saw a strange mouth on the ground, and the reason was that Yama wanted to eat people. If Yama doesn't eat people, why is it another mouth?"
As the words fell, the sky suddenly darkened.
Li Xuandu and Su Yunjiao looked up, only to see that the sky was surging at this time, and countless black clouds were swarming from all directions to this county, covering the sky and the sun.
The sky was still clear just now, and in a blink of an eye, it was already a posture of heavy rain. At the same time, there was a dull rumbling thunder faintly from the black clouds, and electric light could be seen.
I think this is the so-called "chain of fire", but I don't know where the second half of the sentence of "Yama opens his mouth" will be fulfilled.
By the time the two of them retracted their gaze, the figure of the middle-aged scribe had disappeared.
"Senior Brother Li......" Su Yunjiao looked at Li Xuandu worriedly.
Li Xuandu shook his head: "Your sister is right, things have become complicated, and in the rivers and lakes, complexity means tricky and troublesome." Beimang County is very close to Beibi Mountain, and Beibi Mountain has always been the power of the Soap Pavilion Sect, so this matter must be inseparable from the Soap Pavilion Sect. ”
At that moment, there were still people on the other side of the well who did not believe in evil and put buckets of water into the well.
If the water from this well is not usable, then you have to go to a well elsewhere, which costs money, or you have to go to the river outside the city to carry water, and you will be tired to death.
After a few moments, the man turned his wheel and brought the water up from the well.
The crowd gathered around to take a look, and then they heard an exclamation, and the bucket fell to the ground and spilled it all over the ground.
This time, the well water was not earthy yellow, but turned dark red, like thick blood, and after the bucket was knocked over to the ground, the dark red well water slowly meandered on the ground, and then gradually coagulated like blood.
All the people who were waiting to fetch water dispersed in a hurry, but in a moment, only an empty bucket was poured next to the well, and blood was dripping from the edge of the bucket.
Li Xuandu stretched out his hand to hold down the "cold beauty" on his waist and walked towards the well platform again.
Before you get closer, you can smell the fishy smell and the coldness hidden in the fishy smell.
Li Xuandu leaned over and looked into the well, only to see that the well water turned into blood water, tumbling endlessly, and several blood bubbles appeared from time to time, like a blood pool hell in the eighteenth layer of hell.
Li Xuandu said in a slightly cold tone: "What a big stroke, he actually wants to use the lives of people in the city to refine his evil arts, it is really worthy of the Soap Pavilion Sect that made ten thousand ghosts come to the court back then, it is really courageous!"
Speaking of this, Li Xuandu was already a little angry, "What a Soap Pavilion Sect! What a Tibetan old man who is fourth on the Taixuan List!"
Su Yunjiao followed closely by Li Xuandu's side, pressing the sword with one hand, covering his mouth and nose with the other, and said in an urn voice: "Aren't those who do this evil act afraid of being punished by heaven?"
Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and said: "If they were afraid of being punished by heaven, they would not do this, throughout the ages, Hugh said that it was a small county town, that is, the land of a state was slaughtered into ten rooms and nine emptiness, how could there have been heavenly punishments? This sentence does not mean that heaven and earth are not benevolent, but that heaven and earth do not care about benevolence, nor do they care about unkindness, and that heaven and earth treat all things in the world equally, and since livestock, plants, and trees can die, then why can't people die? Heaven and earth have not been punished by heaven because people kill plants and trees, and then heaven and earth will not be punished by heaven because of today's events. ”
Su Yunjiao has studied Buddhism and cultivation in Cihang Sect since she was a child, so she naturally understands this truth and asks, "What should we do, do we still want to go to that Mrs. Lu?"
Li Xuandu said: "There are priorities, in the current situation, it is no longer the key to find Mrs. Lu, the key is ......."
"What is it?" Su Yunjiao couldn't help but ask.
Li Xuandu sighed: "Save your life first." ”
