Chapter 30: Reason
After breakfast, Li Xiaoyi wandered alone in the town of Linjia, while the monk Yuanjue walked from house to house, in his words: "Buddhism was born in Si and grew up in Si, and the root of it lies in the people, and the people's hearts are guided, taking refuge in the Three Jewels, achieving liberation by renunciation, and achieving Buddha fruit by bodhichitta." ”
Li Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, he had never gone to private school, the ink in his stomach came from the root of the wall, and he was also a monk halfway through the cultivation and Taoism, not to mention the Taoist collection, in addition to the jade trick, the rescue is still the jade trick.
Buddhist scriptures, jokes, how can Li Xiaoyi understand it, but he will also have a general meaning, and he pretends to understand if he doesn't understand, so he ignores the old monk.
But he was depressed enough, he wandered around for most of the morning, seeing that it was almost noon, and asked a few people one after another, but still found nothing.
The people of Linjia Town seemed to be extremely afraid of the big tomb in the deserted suburbs outside the town, and it was precisely because of fear that Li Xiaoyi concluded that the people here must know something.
At this moment, a panicked villager man trotted all the way, shouting as he ran: "Doctor Xu, is Doctor Xu not at home?"
The pharmacy of the medical hall, not far from Li Xiaoyi, saw an old man in his sixties, with white hair and beard, and a goatee mixed with a piece of tea, trembling and walking out.
"Oh no, hurry up and go to the mayor's house, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are smoking sheep's horn. The man said eagerly.
Doctor Xu waved his hand: "Don't panic, don't panic, wait for the old man to take the medicine box first." ”
When the man heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, went directly into the house, and soon came out with a broken wooden box, raised his hands, and directly carried the old man to his back, and forgot the east end of the town and ran away.
Li Xiaoyi stood for a while, and then walked leisurely again, not with many steps, but kept following behind the man, until he stopped in front of a house with two entrances and two exits.
Lin Jiazhen said that it was not a big deal, and there was usually nothing to do in the town, so if something happened to someone's family, it would be full of people inside and outside, watching the excitement, blindly coming up with ideas, and the voices of people were boiling.
When Dr. Xu came, Li Xiaoyi looked at an old woman lying on the bed, foaming at the mouth, and her body was stiff and motionless.
Dr. Xu pulled his eyelids, and finally patted the old woman's face, sweating profusely for a long time.
He sighed at the anxious Li and said, "I'm afraid it's not going to work, it's too late!"
In the "Old Woman ......", she looked at the old woman on the bed, her voice trembled a little, and the originally noisy crowd also quieted down.
"Maybe saved!"
The voice was crisp, and everyone was stunned, and everyone was also surprised and inexplicably looked at a young man wearing a Taoist robe, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
It's just that this little Taoist priest is wearing a hat, and he can't see his face clearly.
And Li Xiaoyi faced everyone's gaze, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and the lieutenant governor hurriedly gave up the place, only Dr. Xu looked at him suspiciously.
Li Xiaoyi picked the old woman's eyelids, and pretended to touch the old woman's veins, and her behavior was basically the same routine as Dr. Xu.
"Soul Disorder, you mother-in-law, were you frightened last night?" Li Xiaoyi asked pretending to be profound.
The expressions of the villagers immediately changed, and even the faces of the chief were difficult to look at, but he asked in a non-answering manner, "Is there still salvation?"
Li Xiaoyi frowned, looked at Li Chang for a while, until his face became unnatural, then he nodded slowly: "Whether you can save it or not, it's up to you!"
"Pretending, nonsense!" Dr. Xu couldn't help but say after watching coldly
But no one echoed him, the chief looked uncertain, looked at the old woman on the bed, and then looked at Li Xiaoyi, just wanted to say something, only to hear Doctor Xu say again: "Captain, have you forgotten what happened ten years ago?"
"The Taoist priest ten years ago?" Without waiting for the lieutenant chief to answer, Li Xiaoyi turned around and said.
Doctor Xu was suddenly shocked and pointed at Li Xiaoyi: "You, you, you haven't said half a word for a long time." ”
Li Xiaoyi turned his head to look at the equally surprised Li Chang and said: "Don't be me one of those small doors, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are obviously overly frightened, and their souls are locked by ghosts, if they delay any longer, even if Da Luo Immortal descends to earth, they can't save her!"
Li Xiaoyi is completely pretending to be a pretence, and all the tricks and tricks that ran the rivers and lakes in the past have been used.
The chief saw sweat on his forehead, and the villagers behind him looked at each other, but they didn't have any ideas, and Dr. Xu was silent.
At this time, a big man with a straight back and a strong figure suddenly shouted: "I'm afraid of a bird, if it goes on like this, our town will really become a ghost town!"
"Big pillar, don't talk nonsense!" At this time, a woman beside her hurriedly grabbed him.
The lieutenant chief looked at him, then at the villagers behind him who still had no ideas, and glanced at Dr. Xu, and then said "sigh": "Little fairy, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I really can't say it!"
"Ten years ago, there was also a Taoist priest who we spent a lot of money to invite, but later, the Taoist master took his own life, not to mention, and also affected the lives of more than a dozen people in our town, so that the ......"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Li Xiaoyi had already understood, and couldn't help but say: "Go and find it or not, you have to give me an explanation!"
"You can't go, it's not that we dislike your low cultivation, it's that it's too powerful!"
"Let me know the cause of the incident. ”
Li Xiaoyi didn't say anything to death, the chief and Dr. Xu glanced at each other again, the latter nodded and said, and then told Li Xiaoyi the whole thing.
It turned out that as early as fifty years ago, when the lieutenant was still a half-old child, a group of troops suddenly came to the town, led by the general, in the name of requisitioning grain, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
I thought that they would leave after they were free, but who would have thought that this group of people would not leave!
At that time, the mayor secretly discussed with the villagers that if this group of people continued to stay here, the people of Linjia Town would die!
So at that time, Dr. Xu's master, along with the villagers, poisoned the army's food.
Sure enough, after the night, when the lieutenant chief led the villagers to the place where the army was stationed again, more than 200 soldiers were all poisoned and died.
In order to prevent the matter from spreading, the lieutenant chief, together with the villagers, buried the group on the mass grave in the back mountain.
At the beginning, the big guy was still frightened, but after a few years, nothing happened, and just when the people in Linjia Town thought that this matter was over, it was a real nightmare that began.
Every time on a full moon night, there will be the sound of horses neighing and drumming in the village, which is the scene that Li Xiao has just seen.
The villagers found that during this time period, all the living people who were encountered by the Yin soldiers would be taken to the underworld by the Yin soldiers, and there was no possibility of seeing each other again.
At the beginning, the big guys thought that this was the wronged ghost asking for their lives, so the lieutenant led everyone to the mass grave, trying to dig up the big grave and burn the body.
What is strange is that the big grave was dug up, and it turned out to be an empty grave inside.
This made the chief and the villagers frightened, and fled home one after another, that is, that night, the old chief and the master of Dr. Xu at that time, as well as the person who poisoned that night, appeared on the street in a trance.
The villagers spoke to him, but there was no response, his eyes were glazed, and he came to the grave again in front of the mass grave, and with his own hands, began to bury the grave that had been dug up.
In the end, they all died in front of the grave inexplicably, without any scars on their bodies!
The villagers were afraid of the grave and did not dare to come to collect the corpses, and when everyone mustered up their courage, the corpses of the old chief and everyone had long since disappeared, and as for the old chief, they never appeared again.
The people in Linjia Town panicked to the extreme, and they were afraid that the next person to be killed by the Yin Ghost would be themselves, and some people began to think about leaving.
But no matter which family it is, if you leave that day, in the early morning of the next day, the corpse will inevitably appear in front of the big grave, and no one will dare to leave.
Fear and despair began to grapple over the town, and every three years, a family would inevitably die in front of the grave.
Unless there are outsiders, then these are the people who die, and after this secret is discovered, the people in the town begin to try their best to trick outsiders or past merchants to come here, and the big guy calls it "blocking life!"
However, the good times did not last long, and the haunting of Linjia Town began to spread throughout the nearby villages, no matter how many words the people of Linjia Town were, no one dared to come to this place again.
Originally, there were nearly 600 households in the town, but there were less than 100 households left, and the current lieutenant in order to prevent the people in the town from dying, spent a lot of money to hire a famous wandering Taoist priest, but the development of things greatly exceeded the expectations of the lieutenant.
After the Taoist chief arrived here, there was some effect at first, but the good times did not last long, and after a while, everyone found his body in front of the big tomb, and the next day, even the body was gone.
On the third night, more than a dozen people died in the town, and this time it was different, and the dead were miserable, terrified, and kneeling on the ground with all their limbs broken, obviously a warning.
Speaking of this, Li Chang looked at the old woman lying on the kang, and said sadly to Li Xiaoyi: "You say, do we dare to ask for trouble again?"
Li Xiaoyi was silent, then walked to the old woman's sickbed, opened his mouth slightly, and a seven-colored glow was sprayed onto the old woman's face.
Immediately, a faint black gas slowly floated out from the old woman's eyes, nose, mouth and ears, and the old woman coughed violently and gasped for a few breaths one after another, which was considered to be coming back to her senses.
When everyone saw such a magical scene, they all exclaimed again and again, and the lieutenant chief even threw himself in front of the old woman, asking again and again, only Li Xiaoyi slowly retreated to the side, still thinking about what the lieutenant chief said to himself in his mind.
There's something strange about this!
