Volume 3 The Heroes of Middle-earth Rise Chapter 159 Outsiders cause panic, and it is difficult to solve the mystery
The flowers of Qinhuai Water Pavilion bloom early, and who knows that it is easy to freeze. I saw him raise the Zhu Tower, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse. This verse is a true portrayal of the scene that the six people saw. The market was still very lively just now, but it fell apart in an instant because of two sentences. One is outsiders, and the other is that they are outsiders. Two short sentences, as if a plague had broken out, everyone avoided it.
"What's going on? Outsiders? What's wrong with outsiders? We're not ghosts and monsters, are we so scary? ”
Yun Yang's eyes widened in astonishment, and he touched his nose a little unnaturally. Although he muttered quietly, there was silence around him, and the five people could hear his words.
No one answered Yun Yang's words, and the five people at this time also looked at the desolate street speechlessly. A light breeze blew, rolling up the fallen leaves on the streets. For no reason, the bodies of the six people all trembled subconsciously. When a cultivator cultivates to the stage of condensing qi, although it is not that the cold and heat are inviolable, the resistance to the cold and heat is also very strong. The subconscious movements of the six people were not because of the cold, but completely infected by the atmosphere.
"What are we going to do next?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Yun Yang looked at the few people present.
Still no one answered him, because the five were also confused at this time. After a moment of silence, Xu Chenglin coughed lightly twice to attract the attention of several people.
"If we come here, we should go to the town and have a look?"
"Yes, I can't see anything standing here. What do you think?"
Su Yunhe agreed with Xu Chenglin's opinion, and at the same time did not forget to symbolically ask the other four for their opinions.
"So be it!"
Gongsun Jing also nodded in agreement, and then she turned her head to look at the other two. The meaning is self-evident, and it is also a symbolic inquiry. The minority obeys the majority, what is not a symbolic inquiry.
"Yes, but don't forget the rules of the sect, don't make a move on secular people!"
Li Zhao's face was pale, as if he had warned Yun Yang intentionally or unintentionally. Ma Zhiyuan saw that he had no objection, and nodded and answered.
"Humph!"
Yun Yang snorted lightly and didn't say anything more, because as Xu Chenglin said, how can there be any leisure to deal with these now.
The six of them walked down the street together, but they didn't go far enough before they stopped. In the middle of the town, a cacophony of voices rang out again. Along with the sound came a group of people who cowered and shrank their hearts closer. Several youths walked in the front, holding wooden sticks and kitchen knives in their hands as weapons. Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring look, it is obvious that this group of people is the most courageous.
"Behold, there they are, they are the strangers!"
The Taoist priest stretched his head out from behind several young men, and he barely squeezed out another hand and pointed at the six people in front of the group.
Squeezed by this Taoist priest, the young men at the front couldn't help but stumble forward. But then, the young men hurriedly leaned back as hard as they could, so as not to let themselves fall down before. Looking at this hurried look, it is obvious that these young people are also
It's just that the outside is strong and the middle is dry.
"Squeeze what, you can't die. Even if you want to die, don't bother us. ”
A young man roared viciously, not forgetting to turn his head back and glare at the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest laughed twice and struggled to retract the hand that was squeezing in front of him. He laughed dryly twice, and the head that was squeezed in front of him also shrank back.
"What are they trying to do?"
Seeing a group of people behaving strangely, Yun Yang couldn't help but be curious.
"Can't you see that? they're afraid of us!"
Su Yunhe shook his head helplessly and replied to Yunyang in a low voice.
", of course I can see that. I mean, why are they afraid of us?"
"Who knows!"
"I don't know what you're answering?"
"You didn't understand what you asked, who is to blame!"
The two of them were engaged in some meaningless conversation, but this scene was a different scene in the eyes of the townsfolk who cowered forward.
"Look, what are they discussing?"
One of the townsfolk whispered, and he winced as he pointed to the two. As if afraid of being noticed, he hurriedly withdrew his hand again.
"Who knows, it's not a good thing anyway. These outsiders must have bad intentions towards us!" After another townsman hid in the people, he was not afraid of being discovered, so he spoke without hesitation.
"You're too arbitrary, none of you have ever seen outsiders. How do you know that outsiders have bad intentions towards us?"
There is no shortage of sensible people at any time, and this deep voice is not so arbitrary.
"You know what. Every time these outsiders arrive, it brings us disaster. This is an indisputable fact, and there is nothing to justify!"
An extremely high-pitched female voice quickly suppressed the deep voice. The woman's voice was strong, with some reproachful hints of reproach.
"That is, these outsiders are the embodiment of disaster. You don't know if you haven't seen it, and if you did, you wouldn't say that. ”
No remarks can withstand the response, and there are many people who should respond, and even false remarks will come true. As the old saying goes, three people are tigers, and this is the truth.
"That's it, outsiders, none of them are good people, they are disaster stars!"
"yes, yes, that's what I've heard. ”
The image of an outsider has no good impression basis at first. This group of townspeople talked to themselves, and they completely smeared the image of outsiders.
The cultivator's five senses were extremely acute, and they could hear the conversation of the townspeople clearly. When the six of them heard their conversation, their brows furrowed. Outsiders are not good people, outsiders are the embodiment of disaster, outsiders are ...... Every person, every sentence is inseparable from three words, and these three words are like a magic spell. Whenever the word "outsider" is mentioned, the faces of the townspeople are unnatural, and it is clear that these three words have a special meaning to them.
"Outsiders, what's wrong with outsiders? What have we done? Why aren't we good people? How are we the embodiment of disaster?"
Yun Yang heard
The chatter of the townspeople, a burst of annoyance for no reason. He couldn't help but look up and shout at the townsfolk in front of him.
The shout didn't matter, and the townsfolk hurried back like frightened rabbits. Hula, a large number of people are retreating. The people at the back of the crowd didn't know what was going on. Squeezed by the people in front, the people behind were almost trampled under their own feet.
"You guys!"
Yun Yang saw that the townspeople were almost in danger, and he subconsciously took a step forward to help. He only took a small step, and it caused a commotion again. The frightened townsfolk fled back one by one in terror as if they had seen something terrible.
"Senior Brother Yun, don't be impatient!"
Gongsun Jing saw that this situation was not right, and hurriedly stopped Yun Yang, who was a little reckless.
Yun Yang nodded, and retreated step by step to the six. The six of them watched the frightened townspeople quietly, and it was not until a while later that the townspeople's commotion gradually stopped.
The crowd began to slowly move away from each other. There is a path in the middle, which is actively given up by people. At the end of the path, there stood an old man with gray hair and a gauntlet body. The old man is about eighty years old, but his demeanor does not show the slightest sign of aging, but has a kind of vigorous vitality. The old man put one hand behind his back, and covered his lips with one hand, as if he was coughing very badly. Two light coughs rang out, and the crowd suddenly became unusually quiet.
The six cultivators saw that the old man was not coughing due to old age and decay, but to calm the crowd. Two gentle coughs can make the crowd quiet, plus the crowd takes the initiative to make way for the old man, no matter which point it shows, the identity of the old man is not simple.
The old man walked out of the crowd step by step with slow steps. Walking up to the crowd, he stopped. The old man raised his head and squinted at the six cultivators, then nodded slowly.
"Sure enough, it's an outsider, and I've never seen it in the town. ”
The old man seemed to be telling Xu Chenglin and the other six people, and he seemed to be explaining to everyone behind him.
"Old man, look at what you said. I haven't seen it in the town, so we say we're outsiders. I don't think this town is small, haven't you seen all the people?"
Yun Yang felt that this old man was exaggerating, so he retorted mercilessly.
The old man squinted and laughed, and he shook his head slightly to show his attitude.
"yes, there's no one in this town that I haven't met. From the old man who is about the same as me, down to the newborn baby, I have seen these people. ”
"Old man, your cowhide is really big!"
Yun Yang chuckled twice, still not believing what the old man said.
"Bastard! How dare you doubt the mayor's words. He is the mayor of Qixia Town, and of course he knows everyone. He didn't even know the mayor, and he argued that he wasn't an outsider. ”
Someone in the crowd shouted, and this sound suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and the continuous voices of response and abuse sounded one after another. For a moment, the scene seemed chaotic
。
"What did you say!"
Yun Yang's face instantly turned gloomy, and his eyes were staring at the person who had just shouted for a moment.
It was a sturdy man who shouted loudly just now, and when Yun Yang saw this, the man suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave. A layer of fine sweat appeared on the man's forehead, and his body subconsciously trembled and stepped back.
"Enough! Senior Brother Yun, have you forgotten the rules of the sect!"
Ma Zhiyuan condensed his voice into a line, and his voice sounded directly in Yun Yang's ears.
Yun Yang looked away, and the sturdy man felt better. The man gasped for breath for about a dozen breaths before he recovered. The people around him felt a little strange when they saw the situation of the man just now. But then they saw Yun Yang look away, and only then did they realize what had just happened.
"Demon law, this is demon law! These outsiders actually know demon law! And say that they are good people! I just told the truth, and they secretly cast demon magic. They say, 'Are they good people?' Should they be expelled?"
The man who had recovered immediately shouted loudly again.
"You ......"
A nameless fire rushed straight into his mind, and Yun Yang's eyes were full of anger, and he was about to attack when he saw it.
"Isn't it enough to make trouble, don't retreat!"
Li Zhao opened his mouth without being salty, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him.
Yun Yang exhaled and glanced at Li Zhao. He suppressed his anger and turned his head to look to the side.
Two more gentle coughs, and the crowd fell silent again. The old man, known to the townspeople as the mayor, shook his hand behind him. The mayor first motioned for the townspeople to be calm, and then shook his head at the six people in front of him.
The old man sighed, and then slowly spoke.
"A few young outsiders, we don't welcome you in Qixia Town. Or to put it another way, we don't welcome all outsiders. In order not to cause any further trouble, please leave. ”
"Oh, what if we don't leave?"
Li Zhao's voice was cold and his expression was light, and his true attitude could not be seen from his face at all.
The old man frowned, then shook his head.
"Looking at a few of them, I don't think it is possible to forcibly evict them. There's no way, since you don't leave, we can't afford to provoke it, so let's hide. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he nodded to a few people. Then he turned and walked towards the crowd, making a strange gesture to the crowd.
"Let's all go back, if these people don't exist. ”
The old man greeted and walked slowly into the distance. With his words, the townsfolk gathered together glanced at each other, and then dispersed in a hurry.
The six cultivators looked at each other, and at this time they all sensed the clue. Nothing else can be seen, it's true that this town is extremely xenophobic.
Uninhabited islands, small towns under the mountains, and xenophobic townspeople, these things seem to be unrelated, but there seems to be some kind of connection.
