Chapter 283: Qingfeng Town
"When did something unusual happen to you here?" asked Sun Xiaoman solemnly.
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his neck with a cloth towel and said, "It's been about a year." ”
"A year, such a long time, and no one has to deal with it?" Bai Miaozhen asked, her face a little more worried and nervous.
An old man next to him, who was thin and a little hunchbacked, took off his straw hat, fanned the wind, and coughed and said: "Yes, there have been several groups of people, there are cultivators, there are Taoists, and there are government personnel, but it is useless, it can only be good for a while, after a while, this groundwater will still make people deaf and dumb, but in addition, there is no other discomfort, this is the place where we have lived for many years, there is a field that we can't get to share, it is our life, Naturally, we don't want to leave here, so we can only stay here, but I heard that the rich people in the neighborhood have already left for other places. ”
Hearing that several groups of people had come, the two women and Li Zhengdao were a little relieved, this is Jincheng County, if they are all ignored by the White Tigers in the county like Zhang Cun, it will be too bad.
However, it is obvious that the few groups of people who came were not very good, so that the disaster here was not solved at all, which means that the trouble here is indeed not small, because this is just the border place of Jincheng County, and it is quite remote, and it is good to be able to come a few groups of people, and a few people have not lifted the disaster, nor have they been too harsh.
Along the way, as disciples of Zhengyang Daomen, they have all grown a lot, and they know that the demons who cause trouble for a small village chief can also be very tricky and difficult to deal with, because they are always insidious and cunning, and they are elusive.
"Is anyone still in charge of this matter now?" asked Li Zhengdao.
The middle-aged man said: "Two days ago, the mother-in-law of the family entered the city, and I heard that a new county was dealing with this matter, and the original county was dismissed.
Hearing that the magistrate of the county had been dismissed, Ying Wuxin and Wang Banxian were also a little surprised this time, thinking that this was the same as the remote place in Monkey County, but they didn't expect that the security requirements here were much stricter than there.
Li Zhengdao asked about the situation in the vicinity, how many people have become deaf and dumb, where they started first, and what the results of the investigation are.
With the result, after comforting them a few words, everyone set off for Qingfeng Town, where the incident occurred.
This purposeful march brought up the speed of several people, they were all cultivators, and even if they were only walking, their speed was much faster than the average person's trot.
When it was close to night, everyone rushed to Qingfeng Town.
It was the time when the peasants came home from their work, and many people came out of the fields in twos and threes, carrying hoes and walking to the town, and when they saw a few people dressed beautifully dressed and with extraordinary temperament, they couldn't help but be curious and take a few more looks, but unfortunately now they were deaf and dumb, unable to speak, unable to hear, and had no way to communicate.
So although several people were eager to try, none of them stepped forward.
A few people walked into the town, next to the courtyard with earthen walls, it looks relatively small, it seems that this town is not very rich, otherwise the area outside the town must have a brick wall.
After walking not far, a group of people in front of him gathered a hunched white-haired old man over, holding a piece of white paper in his hand and handing it to a few people.
"Are you here to help us?"
Li Zhengdao nodded, "Exactly." ”
The people were overjoyed, and although they had become deaf and dumb again after the people who had come had left a few times, it was at least for a while, and it was also very good for them, so they were very happy to see outsiders come to help.
"Inside please. ”
The old man took out a piece of paper again, and there were three words written on it, and it seemed that the old man was very clever enough to write down the general content of the conversation, so that even if he could not speak, he could communicate with normal people.
Several people glanced at each other, and followed the old man to the center of the town, a relatively large mansion, although it is relatively old, but this mansion is indeed not small, and there are several courtyards to see.
Entering one of the courtyards, the old man let the crowd of onlookers disperse, and only brought a few people in, invited a few people to sit down, and greeted them for tea.
Thinking that the groundwater here had been polluted, Li Zhengdao was about to urge the Sanyang True Fire to get rid of the demonic qi, but Ying Wuxin next to him waved his hand lightly, and a light breeze came up from his sleeve, sweeping over the table and everyone, and a trace of demonic qi flew away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the old man saw this scene, his eyes widened in shock, and his mouth trembled, as if he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.
He had received the officials and cultivators who came before, and he had also seen the other party's methods, which were usually to use real fire to get rid of demonic energy, but now this one can wave his hand, it seems that the means are too clever.
Seeing that everyone on the opposite side looked shocked, Sun Xiaoman glanced at Ying Wuxin dissatisfiedly, blaming him for being showy and stealing the limelight from his senior brother.
Li Zhengdao smiled mildly and said: "Thank you Brother Wuxin, this has helped me save a lot of natural energy, and in the future, we will eat and live here and clear the demonic energy, so I will hand it over to Brother Wuxin." ”
Li Zhengdao looks very serious, but there are times when his belly is black, and now it is clear that he wants to use Ying Wuxin as a coolie.
Sun Xiaoman grinned proudly, raised his snow-white chin, and his rosy lips smiled into a line.
"It's easy to say, Haoran is righteous. ”
Ying unintentionally agreed, stretched out his arms, and a mighty and magnificent righteous qi gushed out of his body, spreading in all directions, passing through the doors and windows of the house, and surging farther outside, and at the same time, a part of the righteous qi also entered the well and began to spread along the groundwater.
On the one hand, it is qi, like an air current, and on the other hand, it is not a real air flow, it will be completely blocked by obstacles, and it can completely penetrate into the earth's soil and water currents, and even into the building materials of the human body and houses.
A trace of black demonic qi was expelled by the righteous qi and gradually dissipated, the old man turned his head and coughed vigorously a few times, making a loud sound, and the other young people behind him also turned around and coughed vigorously.
This cough came too suddenly, and they couldn't resist it, but their own upbringing still made them choose to turn their backs on the masters.
After a while, the old man turned his head with a red face and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help this." ”
"It doesn't matter. Li Zhengdao responded lightly, and glanced at Ying Wuxin with a strange look, obviously shocked by his hand.
The other young men howled excitedly when they saw that the old man could speak and that they could hear the voice, but after only two calls, they were scolded by the old man, so they had to run away excitedly and gloomily.
More coughing was heard outside, and after a while bursts of cheers rang out.
Seeing this scene happen with their own eyes, Sun Xiaoman, Bai Miaozhen, and Wang Banxian were also full of consternation, this trick seemed to be very casual, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good, it was comparable to taking a Qingxin Righteous Qi Pill.
"This is the second-stage Dao Sect, and it is really powerful. Sun Xiaoman thought in his heart.
"Senior Brother Wuxin is getting better and better, and I have to work hard. Bai Miaozhen thought to herself.
Wang Banxian's eyes lit up excitedly, "Xiao Dao Ye is so powerful, it seems that it will be safer and more face-saving to follow him in the future." ”
As for the old man who was cured and other ordinary people, they didn't feel how amazing this was, because they didn't understand anything at all, and the people who came before made a mess for a while, and they got better, so they didn't feel how amazing this was, but they didn't think it was amazing, but they didn't want to raise their two arms, which were far neater than those before, and they should be more powerful when they came to this, as for how many of these are, the old man didn't know.
"The mayor of Xiaqingfeng Town, Li Changyi, I have seen all the masters, I don't know how to call them?" the old man said solemnly.
"Daoxia. Li Zhengdao responded with two words simply.
Li Changyi didn't ask much, and said: "Thank you, let us have the ability to speak again, and we can hear it, this feeling is really good, the older people get, the more they miss it." ”
Li Zhengdao said with a straight face: "Let's talk about the situation here, let's solve the problem as soon as possible, and you won't have to suffer this kind of hardship in the future." ”
Li Changyi nodded, his expression was not too urgent, because he had experienced it a few times, in his opinion, the disasters here were not so easy to eliminate, so this mentality was much calmer.
Li Changyi recounted an incident that happened in Qingfeng Town a year ago.
There is a family surnamed Li, the family is quite solid, the husband often runs to do business, the number of times he goes home is relatively small, a trip home, the husband and wife are intimate, in the morning, the man died suddenly, the family reported to the official, Li's mother insisted that it was the daughter-in-law who was greedy for joy, demanded excessively, and tired her son to death, so she asked the magistrate to kill the daughter-in-law with a cane according to the crime of murder.
The magistrate sent someone to inspect and found that the bed in their bedroom was indeed a mess, obviously happy more than once or twice, and asked the man to do an examination of the body, the man surnamed Li was indeed too yang-consuming, and he already had symptoms of retraction.
After questioning Mrs. Li, she learned that she had indeed been happy several times that night, but according to Mrs. Li's testimony, her husband took the initiative to ask for it, and she did not take the initiative to ask for it at all, and she was also very tired.
Mother Li naturally didn't believe it, and said that her daughter-in-law was not clear with others, obviously killing her son and wanting to remarry, but her son was unwilling, so he was poisoned.
The Li family still has some prestige in Qingfeng Town, and they encouraged a lot of people to go to the county government to shout, but in fact, they put pressure on the magistrate to give him a heavy sentence.
It's not good to say this thing after all, and most of such a woman will have a difficult life in the future, thinking about it, the magistrate was convicted of murder, and killed the woman with a cane in the court.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that something happened that night, all the villagers in Qingfeng Town became mute after eating, and it didn't take long for their ears to become deaf, and everyone panicked and called for help, but ordinary Langzhong had no way to heal at all, and this situation spread rapidly, and the county was affected, and now one-third of the entire county is like this.
Later, the officials of the county town and the White Tiger team cooperated with the investigation, but there was no result, so they invited people from the county town, set up a formation, and purified the demonic energy, and then once they left, it didn't take long for the people here to become dumb and deaf again.
