Chapter 42: Sleepless Nights
Someday.
Bai Yujun came to a mass grave, perhaps because it was very close to the town, this mass grave was very large, Bai Yujun thought that he was going to be tired and tired to read the scriptures all night, but when he arrived at the mass grave, he was suddenly stupid.
There are no ghosts?
Bai Yujun, who was originally going to dig the grave, looked at the silent grave and didn't know whether to be happy or strange, the huge mass graves were full of corpses, and there were no dead souls in the new graves, could it be that those ghosts who were quite resentful were self-conscious, sublimated their human nature, and then went to the underworld?
In the mass grave, Bai Yujun looked at the graveyard messy in the wind......
Go to the town to rest.
The town is very large, maybe it is a large household, so it seems that the people in the town are barely starving to death, there are many strong villagers in the town who patrol back and forth with hunting bows and sticks, and the foreign population is the focus of inspection.
All the shops in the town are closed, and there are few people to be seen.
When passing by the high-walled courtyard of a large family, he saw a few homeless people squatting in front of the drainage ditch to catch something, and walked in to check it out curiously, and when he saw what those people were doing, Bai Yujun could only sigh.
Large households don't look at the famine years, there is still rice and meat, and the vegetable soup and rice residues that can't be eaten are directly poured into the drainage ditch.
Oil flowers or something is a good thing, a few homeless people put rags on the surface of the water and then pick them up and twist them, and then scoop up some vegetable residues, and they can get a bowl of food for half a day, which is much stronger than eating the bark of the grass roots.
As long as you send some money to the government, you can buy a large piece of good land, and every time there is a famine, it is a time when the strength of the family increases.
The ancients liked the land the most, and the family did not have to pay taxes if they got a meritorious name, and there was no one who did not pay a penny of taxes for thousands of acres of fertile land, and the big taxpayers of the state were those poor peasant households, and these poor peasant households who were forced to simply dedicate their farmland to the local large households to avoid the heavy miscellaneous taxes, the large households are getting bigger and bigger, and the taxes are getting less and less.
Fortunately, these are all human affairs, and the White Snake only needs to act according to the orders of the Pure Yang Palace.
The town withered, and Bai Yujun carried a bookcase to find a place to live.
Suddenly, a man in black who passed by caught the attention of Snake Eyes......
The man's breath was very cold, according to common sense, humans couldn't be so cold, they were about to catch up with cold-blooded animals, and they didn't know what to pack with a backpack bulging.
I glanced twice and continued to look for a place to live.
In the end, I found a dilapidated house in the town that had not been inhabited for a long time due to the leakage of rain, and threw two cleaning spells to clean up a little.
I found an oil lamp with a thick layer of ash in the weeds, blew off the dust and put it on the stove, took out a small clay pot from the bookcase, carefully poured out a little lamp oil, picked up a rag and tore it into strips of rags and rubbed the wick.
Put the wick into the oil lamp and leave a small section outside, wait for the lamp oil to soak through the wick, and cast a small spell to light the oil lamp.
In fact, he could have shown his identity as a pure yang disciple and went to those big families to ask for a good room, but Bai Yujun didn't want to get too close to those humanoid vampires, it didn't matter if he ate and drank without worrying about the sleeping environment, a snake was easy to satisfy.
The fuel lamp is lit to tell people that the house is occupied tonight and that they should not be disturbed.
The head sticks into the bookcase and tosses, pulls open the bacon, finds the books wrapped in oil paper, and picks up some books in many people's homes along the way, and there are miscellaneous wild chronicles that can be used to play boring time, of course, if you don't always write a story about fox spirits and ghosts falling in love with scholars and being abandoned by scholars, it would be better, as if fox spirits like scholars not like that skinny flesh but like character.
Night.
In the quiet night, the sound can be heard far away, Bai Yujun can clearly hear the sound of big families in the town pushing cups and changing glasses and drinking and guessing fists, as well as the smell of wine and meat.
Turn over and don't look out the window.
Bai Yujun went down the mountain for a few days and understood why Yu Rong let her snake demon go down the mountain to help the disaster, at first she was very dissatisfied and even thought about finding a place to sleep and wait for the disaster to end, but along the way, she found that Yu Rong had good intentions.
Cultivation is not only about the body but also about the mind.
By walking step by step with both feet, seeing little by little through the eyes, the state of mind improves with the journey, observing the various states of life along the way, you can see many things clearly, the practice is more solid, it is difficult to go further and may go crazy if you only care about cultivation and do not cultivate the mind, and it is possible to go crazy, most monks do not understand what cultivation is, only know how to blindly cultivate the body, collect magic weapons and pills, and ignore the most important thing, cultivating the mind.
It is quite strange that a snake spirit can cultivate orthodoxy.
There is no way, Bai Yujun must cultivate orthodoxy, the prosperity of the human race is full of luck, if you want to become an immortal, you must follow the rules of the human race, purely according to the monster system, it is very likely to be killed by the demon subjugation.
The snake is free when it is alive, and when it is dead, there is nothing left.
There was a strong wind blowing outside the window, and only half of the broken window was finally dead after struggling for a long time, and what made Bai Yujun speechless was that a few broken tiles had also fallen from the roof, and he could see the sky and the moon more clearly.
Quickly stretched out his hand to protect the oil lamp from being smashed by the dust and tiles, and it didn't take long for the wind to stop.
"This wind is very evil, and it ends willfully after two blows. ”
After patting the dust that fell on his body three or two, he lost interest in continuing to read, so he simply put away the book and lay down with his arms behind his head to look at the moon through the hole in the roof.
Then, Bai Yujun saw a cloaked ghost on the roof flash through the hole......
After being stunned for two seconds, he bounced up, grabbed two weapons, rushed out of the house, and jumped onto the roof!
How could there be a powerful ghost figure under the moonlight, only Bai Yujun in a white robe on the empty roof, raised his head and found that the moon was shrouded in a faint red, and there must have been a killing nearby!
A keen sense of smell found that there was a smell of blood in the air, not to mention jumping around on the roof to find the source of the smell of blood, such a strong smell of blood is afraid that many people will die, and such a thing in the area in charge of his own responsibility is simply deliberately looking for snake trouble.
The source was quickly found.
The screams of a large family in the town spread far away, and nearby neighbors surrounded them with torches.
"Devil for your life...... Help......"
The lights gradually turned on in the quiet town, and the people in the compound of the rich family were still wailing and screaming, and the neighbors outside the door knocked on the door, and no one opened the door, and people realized that the situation was wrong and began to bang on the door.
After several bumps, the gate finally slammed open with a bang, and when they saw the scene in the courtyard, everyone screamed and fled in horror.
The courtyard was like hell, with stumps and severed arms littered with scraps of flesh, white window paper splattered with blood, and only a few men in the clothes of servants and maids were hiding in the corners crying and screaming.
Bai Yujun, who was standing on the roof, shook his head, turned around and chased in the direction where the ghost disappeared.
