Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Immortal Sits in Baiyun Town
Except for the wood god, the other seven people didn't have the heart to listen to the book, and they each paid for their own affairs.
I haven't been in touch with Li Shihe for a long time, and Dou Jingpeng doesn't know what happened to his Shidaomen recently, and he is a little eager to tie the knot with Situ Lanlan, but he doesn't know Situ Heiyu's whereabouts.
Dou Jingpeng drank cup after cup, and kept drinking, although he didn't drink the best hairtips, he had a feeling of being casual and happy, and he had a local flavor that the good hairtips did not have.
At this time, someone approached the storyteller and gave some reward: "Uncle, you go south and north, you are well-informed, we want to hear about what has happened in the rivers and lakes recently, as for this Han Dynasty, it is good to talk about it later." ”
"Since you want to hear about the rivers and lakes so much, the old man will give you some knowledge. The storyteller took the man's request.
"All things are born and restrain each other, one after another, who is in the world today? The stars in the sky are dotted and changing rapidly, and it is already a magpie's nest! The rivers and lakes are full of talents, the world is unpredictable, and the young man fights the sword in the world!" Almost every story has a gorgeous beginning.
"Good! good!"
"There is a new sect in the rivers and lakes, called the Poetry Knife Gate, because the Poetry Knife Gate violated the martial arts alliance leader Pang Qiushui's agreement to accept apprentices, so the master of the Poetry Knife Gate, Feng Dao Scar, was intercepted and killed by a group of assassins at the Huangshui Bridge, needless to say, this group of assassins must have something to do with Pang Qiushui......"
Dou Jingpeng, Situ Lanlan and Xiao Kaiyan were shocked when they heard that Feng Dao Scar had been killed, but they did not interrupt the storyteller, calmed down, and continued to listen patiently.
"As for how the leader of the martial arts alliance could have a relationship with the assassins, it is unknown below......"
Although the storyteller didn't know why the assassin appeared, Dou Jingpeng, Situ Lanlan and Xiao Kaiyan knew that this was a killer raised by Pang Qiushui.
"The Yellow Water Bridge, the reason why it can be called the Yellow Water, is because the river water under the bridge is in addition to the cold winter and the moon is frozen, rolling all the year round, the river water will roll up the yellow sand, the waves are turbulent, just like a pot of boiling yellow water, so the bridge on this water is named the Yellow Water Bridge,
How dangerous the river under the bridge is, it can be imagined that Feng Daoscar, the owner of the Shidao Gate, was seriously injured by the assassins and shot down the Huangshui Bridge, and his life and death are still uncertain. ”
Dou Jingpeng suddenly stood up and asked, "Uncle, do the disciples of the Shidao Sect know about this matter?"
The old man looked at Dou Jingpeng for a while, and said in a consistent tone: "I also heard from others, as for whether the disciples of the Shidaomen know, I don't know, but I heard that a large number of people have been to the Huangshui Bridge to salvage, and the result is that the bones are gone." ”
"It must be a disciple of the Shidao Sect. Dou Jingpeng muttered, "May I ask the old man, how is the flow of water under the Huangshui Bridge?"
"It's so big and out of control. The old man was concise and to the point.
"Thank you, uncle. Dou Jingpeng sat down, since the body was not recovered, it means that Feng Scar may still be alive, maybe Feng Scar was just washed away by the current, Dou Jingpeng comforted himself.
"What's the matter, boss, are you unsettled, does the dead have anything to do with you?" asked the wood god.
"The deceased is the eldest disciple of my best friend, and he shouldn't have agreed to let him be the acting head of the Shidao Sect in the first place, wouldn't it be a fire to put others in the fire. Dou Jingpeng was sad.
The five people of "Ye Xuanzi" were confused, but they were very sad to see Dou Jingpeng, Situ Lanlan and Xiao Kaiyan, so it was inconvenient to ask more.
Although the five people of "Ye Xuanzi" didn't know what was going on, they knew very well that this acting head Feng Dao Scar must be a very important person for Dou Jingpeng.
Dou Jingpeng and the eight people no longer renewed the tea, paid the tea money just now, and went downstairs one after another.
In the process of going downstairs, Dou Jingpeng said to "Ye Xuanzi" and others: "The case of the death of the gentry needs to be concluded as soon as possible, I still have very important things, I want to rush to Beicang Mountain, now that the head of the Shidaomen is dead, soon the entire martial arts will know the news......"
"Ye Xuanzi" interrupted Dou Jingpeng's words and said: "Boss, the five of us are still very confused about this matter, and we need you to make it clear, why does there be a substitute head of the Shidaomen?"
"That's the case, the head of the Shidaomen was originally my friend Li Shihe, but Shihe and Pang Qiushui had a grudge against the teacher, and the Shidaomen started late, in order to prevent Pang Qiushui from eliminating the Shidaomen because of his hatred for Li Shihe, so he chose a substitute head, the purpose is to hide people's eyes, and this acting head is Feng Daoscar. Dou Jingpeng explained.
"Understood, Boss!" replied Nightshade.
"Now that Feng Dao Scar is dead, everyone in the rivers and lakes will soon know about it, then, Shi Dao Sect only has another substitute to take over, no matter what Shi He's decision is in the end, Feng Dao Scar's death will anger the other three first disciples and some disciples of Shi Dao Gate, if they can't withstand the test of hatred, a bloody battle is inevitable, and then I am afraid that Shi Dao Men will be ruined. Dou Jingpeng said.
"Now we all know that the death of the gentry was caused by the 'Weasel Daxian', but the only witness, Xiaocui, is dead, and we can only end the case by continuing to expose the conspiracy of the 'Weasel Daxian'. Situ Lanlan said.
"Let's go to the gentry's mansion first to get a feel for the town's customs, and it's better to know something than to wait until it gets dark. Dou Jingpeng said.
Eight men rode back to the gentry.
Mu Shenxiang called the housekeeper Zheng Youcai and asked him about the changes in Baiyun Town in recent years.
It turned out that the housekeeper Zheng Youcai had been the housekeeper of the mansion since the master took office, not only greeting family affairs, but also doing his best for official affairs, and he could be regarded as the master of the town gentry.
When he first arrived in Baiyun Town to take over, Baiyun Town was still very wealthy, and the position of the lord was arranged by the prefect Lord Du, who was a distant relative of the lord, so he naturally took good care of him and arranged a good position for him.
Dou Jingpeng understands that such an arrangement is also reasonable.
Later, a group of bandits and robbers appeared at the junction of Baiyun Town and Beicang Town, because they were at the junction, so the gentry of the two towns were unwilling to deal with it, and they pushed the matter to themselves and others, and the responsibility was shifted to others.
Later, the townspeople of the two towns complained that if the matter was not dealt with, it would disturb the superiors, and there was no way, so the gentry of the two towns had to unite and jointly suppress the bandits.
The receipt is still quite large, the bandits almost no longer dare to openly intercept the road, although there are still small thieves and small robberies, but as long as there is a government suppression, they are afraid, it will have an effect, the people dare to set up stalls to sell goods during the day, and the girls also dare to go out of the town to travel.
After a year or two, the bandits suddenly disappeared, which was a good thing, but suddenly there were monsters in the town, and at night on the rooftops, outside the door, or in the gloomy corners, there were always strange screams.
Some of the brave townspeople came out to take a look, and those who were unlucky would die tragically, and the death was strange, unlike man-made, and if they were lucky, although they would not die, they knew from their mouths that there were indeed monsters.
There are dead people with scattered heads, they are dressed in white, their chests stained with blood, their fangs are sticking forward, and there are all kinds of beast demons, tiger demons, bear demons, and so on.
For a time, the city was full of wind and rain, there were many dead and wounded, no one dared to go forward late at night, and even the husband who played the guard no longer went out.
The squire was very distressed, so he asked if this happened in other towns, but their answer was no, and the squire knew, it turned out that this incident only happened in Baiyun Town.
The squire guessed that it could be that there were too many grievances in Baiyun Town before, including too many people who were in the jungle. So the squire invited a mage to overkill the souls of the dead humans and beasts, but it had no effect, and the monsters were chaotic and intensified.
The gentry had no choice, so he had to invite some profound Taoists to exorcise demons and subdue demons.
As a result, the Taoist priests who practiced the law the next day would die tragically on the streets, and then gradually there were no Taoist priests who dared to come to subdue demons, and some Taoist priests who were greedy for money did not stay overnight, and they would leave Baiyun Town on the same day.
The people were panicked and complained, and then Baiyun Town came from nowhere a great immortal, this great immortal was not invited by the town gentry, since the great immortal himself said, it was to smell the demon and come to find the demon.
He also said that these demons were subdued, but someone mistakenly opened the lock demon bowl, and as a result, a group of demons were released, this great immortal is the "Weasel Great Immortal", and the purpose of his arrival is to collect demons, not for money.
When the old man of the town gentleman learned about this, he was not very happy, he thought that this great immortal might not be much different from the previous Taoists, and even politely persuaded him to come as soon as possible, so as not to lose his life in Baiyun Town.
Who knew that the "Weasel Immortal" not only did not leave, but signed the book of life and death on the spot, and used the head of the item as a guarantee, and if he did not accept the monster, he cut off the head to sacrifice to the sky.
He said that he was an immortal master sent by God to the world, and although he would die if he cut off his head, God would place him in the reincarnation spiritual pagoda because he was for the people, and would not send him to hell.
Hearing him say this, the gentry stopped persuading each other, and he would be reincarnated when he died, and although he suffered a lot, he did not hurt anyone's life after all.
Of course, this is also what the "Weasel Great Immortal" said, reincarnation will suffer from reincarnation, peel skin and polish bones, and reshape the body of a child;
Although reincarnated as a mortal, he can still defeat the calamity and cultivate immortals and ascend to heaven.
After some painstaking lobbying by the "Weasel Immortal", the old gentleman finally agreed to his request, and gave him a lot of gold, and the reason for giving him money was that he hoped that he would get the money and leave quickly, so as not to lose his life and the lives of his disciples.
In the evening, the people were still as usual all night, the doors and windows were closed, and the oil lamps were extinguished, although the people still heard the sound of ghosts, but some people also heard another sound, to be exact, it was the spell of exorcism and the sound of fighting. Of course, there are also people who do not hear.
By the next day, the streets were full of white broken steps and the skins of some wild beasts.
"Weasel Daxian" explained that the monster had been stripped of its clothes and skin, turned into a bone phase, and locked the demon bowl.
The people are not sure, "Weasel Daxian" said, the people can go out at night, he will lead the people to parade the streets, and hold a grand lantern festival.
As a result, at night, the street was clear, and there were really no ghosts, and then the people believed in the "Weasel Daxian".
"Weasel Daxian" said that Baiyun Town was originally a battlefield, there were many skeletons underneath, and monsters would make a comeback, and only if he sat in Baiyun Town, would he keep the people safe.
When everyone heard this, they were even more happy, those who had money contributed money, and those who did not have money contributed to build a holy ancestor temple in the west of the town, and "Weasel Daxian" claimed to be in the heavenly palace, and he was a saint ancestor who had attained the Tao.
