One hundred and eighty-three, the manor
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan had some thoughts in his heart.
Harness the tortoise and snake sword and sway upward.
Find a valley, and then press the sword light.
Not far from the valley, I saw a cave, which was deep and abnormal, and the cold wind was whistling, and I didn't know where it went.
The entrance to the cave is narrow enough for only one person to pass through.
Lu Xuan had already guessed a little, and when his thoughts turned, he took away the turtle and snake sword and walked into it.
Walking dozens of steps, suddenly enlightened.
Fruit to see a manor, covering a wide area, surrounded by mulberry fields and bamboo, everything, like a warm spring, and the outside cold winter weather is very different.
There is no noise in the manor, and at a glance, you can see the farmer working, a picture of strange traffic, and the scene of chickens and dogs.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan had already determined that this place was the manor where Li Ji and others had arrived, and he also knew that there should be something strange here.
Although it is not certain that Li Ji was infected with the 'witch' disease here, it is very probable.
Lu Xuan, a foreign guest, came to visit, and someone came to greet him after a while.
The person who came was a middle-aged man, the man was richly dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, which was not like an ordinary background.
"When the distinguished guests visited, they lost their welcome, and the contemptible Liu Zhi added this place to the master, and did not ask the Taoist to respect him. ”
The man is good at smiling and has a lot of courtesy.
"Ascending and descending, wandering people, disturbed. ”
Although he knew that there was something strange here, Lu Xuan was not rude.
"It turned out to be Lu Daochang, and I asked Zhuang to talk about it. ”
You have to enter the village, there are many beautiful maids and servants, and you can see the liveliness.
Thinking about what he saw and heard along the way, there were many strange things, and in Lu Xuan's eyes, he could also see that the people here did not have the slightest breath of life, so he said: "Poor Dao has a friend, surnamed Li Mingyuan, who came to visit the village in his early years, but he didn't return, Li Jushi's parents, wife and children miss it very much, so they asked Poor Dao to find it, and finally came to Guizhuang, dare to ask Liu Zhuang, do you know where I am going?"
When Liu Zhi heard this, he groaned slightly, and then said: "The Taoist chief is a master of the Tao, and he wants to know the essence of my place, so I can't say it, please come with me." ”
So he led Lu Xuan to a courtyard, and saw three or two scribes in the garden, making wine and making fun, and there were even more beautiful women to accompany him.
"Look at it, Li Sheng is among them. ”
Although Lu Xuan had never seen Li Yuan's appearance, according to the description of others, he could probably tell that it was indeed one of the three or two scribes.
But seeing this Li Yuan is very happy, unlike people who have been away from home for a long time.
"The land of the lord of Liu Zhuang is not a good land for mortals, so why do you stay for a long time? Isn't it a harmful act? I see that the owner of the village is outspoken, and he is not a demon generation, and I dare to ask the reason. ”
Liu Zhi smiled bitterly: "Dao Chang has a good eye, you should know that we are not living people, we are all people of the previous dynasty, living here, between life and death, not free, this is okay, but if there are living people in this place, and then leave, they will not die well, and maybe there will be disasters, so they have no choice but to stay in the people who have entered by mistake for a long time." ”
"But if you stay for a long time, you can't leave, and you will be born in a trance, so you can see it as a Taoist. In my village, in addition to Li Sheng and others, there are also several people who have strayed in, all of which are like this. ”
"In the early years, there was a Bai Yuan person Li Ji, who left overnight, and couldn't stay, thinking that it was a rare good fruit, but I don't know if it involved others. ”
Lu Xuan frowned when he heard this, he is a layman, although he came here for the matter of 'witches' this time, of course, he still has to pay attention to his own safety first.
Liu Zhi seemed to understand Lu Xuan's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Dao Elder Extraordinary People, unless you stay here for a long time, it will be difficult for the Qi in this place to infect, and it will not be affected. ”
Lu Xuan nodded at this time, and said, "Why don't you seal the entrance?"
In the early years, there were immortals like the Taoist to visit, and after some entertainment, I also begged him to seal the entrance, but for some reason, in recent years, some people have strayed into this place, and it is also helpless. ”
When Lu Xuan heard this, he realized that there was such a cause and effect.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Lu Xuan glanced at Li Yuan and the others in the courtyard again, and said, "I don't think that the other generation is a living person, but why is this?"
"But if you enter this place, you will be assimilated, if you are not a local person, but for more than ten years, you will definitely be gray, Li Sheng and others are now the same as us, they can't get out, they can only wait to die. The only difference between them and us is that we can't die, and we can't be free for generations, and there will always be a day when their bodies and souls will die and get out of trouble. ”
Lu Xuan was silent.
Liu Zhi and other people in the village can also be said to be an alternative immortal, but listening to his tone, this immortality is obviously not what they are willing to do, and it is obviously not a good thing to change it to Lu Xuan, such an immortal who is not free.
It's hard to say what you have to lose.
"Bai Yuan Li Ji, after returning home, he got the disease of 'witch warriors', infecting hundreds of people, and countless dead, I don't know if it has anything to do with Guizhuang?"
Lu Xuan asked.
Liu Zhi frowned and shook his head: "Those who strayed into this place have insufficient fortune and are involved in it, but if they die at home, it will not be like this, at most it will be the decay of the family road, and the Taoist chief is here for that strange disease, I am afraid that there will be some misunderstanding." ”
Lu Xuan was surprised.
This village is weird, Liu Zhi, the owner of the village, also admitted that although he did not intend to harm people, this place is indeed not a good place, and he never thought that the disease of Baiyuan County's 'witches' has nothing to do with this place?
"Master Liu may confirm?"
When Liu Zhi heard this, he muttered: "The disease of 'witch warriors' has nothing to do with this place, but I can't be completely sure, this place is weird after all, that is, as the master, I can't control it, and the secrets are difficult to understand, or there are other machines, and I don't know, if Li Ji's corpse is in front of my eyes, I may be able to distinguish one or two, otherwise I can't be sure." ”
But where did Lu Xuan go to find Li Ji's body, because of the disease of 'witch warriors', all those who suffered from this disease were burned in lieu of money, and it was not good to burn down the house, involving the entire county, maybe the homes of Li Ji and others would be burned down.
"Then I can't help me. ”
Liu Zhidao.
Lu Xuan was not easy to force, but remembered that there were monks who visited this place in the early years, and maybe he had gains, so he asked: "I don't know which famous mountain the Taoist friend who visited this place back then, and does the owner of the village know its origin?"
Liu Zhi shook his head: "The Taoist chief has not been detailed, only said that his surname is Jiao, but to talk about the details, the Taoist chief has a treasure bell, called the Luoluo Bell, and has played in the village, which is quite mysterious, if the Taoist chief wants to find it, he may be able to find clues from it." ”
"I don't know more. ”
At this point, it is difficult for Lu Xuan to gain anything.
I heard Liu Zhi say again: "Although the Taoist is extraordinary, but if he lives here for a long time, it will inevitably be affected, although Liu wants to entertain, but for the sake of Dao Chang'an, it is better to leave early." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan didn't say much, but said: "Li Yuan's relatives, I don't know what his situation is, I don't know if the owner of the village may ask for a personal belonging, after I go back, I can also explain?"
"It's a small thing. ”
Liu Zhi did not refuse, and immediately walked into the courtyard and asked for a jade pendant from Li Yuan's hand.
When Lu Xuan left, he could still see Li Yuan, who was originally enjoying wine in the garden, looking around, as if looking for something, and his face could see a little more sadness.
When Lu Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head, after all, he didn't stay long, and quickly left the manor.
