Chapter 163: Heart-Damning
"What's the scary thing?"
"It's either haunted or haunted, and the people on the mountain have come down to see it, but they can't solve the problem, and gradually the people in the town begin to distrust them......"
Hong Tuo went to see Di Hexagram's reaction, and saw that he was just staring at the teacup without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something, so Hong Tuo went to see Ah Sheng again.
While Ah Sheng was staring at the remaining snacks on the table and drooling, Hong Tuo was speechless and embarrassed, and continued to chat with the old woman.
"What kind of people are those visitors who come every year?"
The old woman also noticed Ah Sheng's gaze, handed the half plate of dim sum to Ah Sheng, and said kindly, "The girl is hungry to fill her stomach." ”
Ah Sheng hurriedly responded, took the tea, and ate it deliciously.
The old woman looked at Ah Sheng lovingly for a while, and then began to answer Hong Fu's question: "It's just an ordinary foot merchant, in the past, the town would come one or two every once in a while, and after that plague, only one person would come every year. ”
"What are you selling?"
The old woman thought for a while, "Every year they come differently, there are people who sell medicinal herbs, jewelry, and antiques, and they are of different ages, some old and some young, but no one dares to buy their things, and even the inn is unwilling to take them in, so they left that day." But after they left, strange things started to happen in the town, last year it was haunted, one family died, the year before last it was the loss of children, there were several children lost in the town, and then there were droughts and floods or something, and there were always a few deaths......"
After eating, Ah Sheng, who was in a good mood, wiped his fingers and smacked his lips, "Maybe it's not a grocer here, it's a monster disguised as a grocer, this town is targeted by bad things, and the other party is an existence that can't be solved by people on the mountain......"
"The girl is right, it must have been something that provoked these troubles, and the mountain people who have been sheltering us have no choice, but our ancestors have lived like this for generations, and some townspeople guess that it is the people from the mountains who have caused the troubles......"
Ah Sheng took a mouthful of water in his mouth, rinsed his mouth with a gurgle, and when he heard this, he hummed and chirped, "Shrimp pig heart......"
Hong teased for a long time, and then realized that it was "killing people and punishing the heart", and while sighing that Ah Sheng actually knew this idiom, he was embarrassed whether the old woman could understand the meaning.
Obviously, the old woman didn't understand, so she asked Ah Sheng, "What pig heart?"
Ah Sheng shook his head and swallowed the water, looking not very good, "It may be that someone wants to target the people on the mountain, or it may be because the footman you burned has a lot of background." ”
At the mention of the foot trader who had been burned alive, the old woman became frightened, and defended the townspeople, "Because the townspeople who came into contact with him at that time were all sick, everyone thought that he was the source of the plague, and the people were angry...... And the plague did disappear after burning him......"
"The old man knows, tomorrow we will go up the mountain to find a way to solve the problem here, the night is dark, and the old man is asked to arrange a room for us to rest. ”
Di Gua, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, wanting to stop the topic.
The old woman was also a sensible person, and knew that they didn't want to mention more, so she stood up and arranged a room for them, because there were not many rooms, Hong Tu could only have one room with Di Gua, and Ah Sheng could sleep with the old woman.
After asking the old woman for hot water to wash up a little, Hong Tu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Di Gua meditating at the end of the bed, and didn't know what to do for a while. This is the first time he has shared a bed with someone, so he is embarrassed.
Di Gua raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly, "Apprentice, you can sleep, just meditate at the end of the bed for the teacher." ”
"How can this work? Hong teased his head, running around for days, he was indeed very tired, but it didn't seem good to sleep alone.
Di Gua said, "For a monk of this level, meditation is far faster than sleeping, don't think about it, sleep!"
Hong Tu nodded, took off his clothes a little embarrassed, went to bed and lay down, who knew that he would not be able to fall asleep for a while after lying down, so he could only look at Di Gua.
Di Gua sighed helplessly, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask......"
Hong Tuo said unceremoniously: "What does it mean that Ah Sheng said that he was being targeted?"
"Obviously, this is a bureau deliberately set up by someone to target Shushan, in order to divide the relationship between the townspeople below Shushan and the Shushan sect. ”
"But what is the loss of Shushan like this?"
Di Gua's expression was solemn, and he was a little grim, "Of course there is, and it is very important, most of the disciples on Shu Mountain have not yet opened the valley, and some food and materials are procured in the town below the mountain, and the townspeople will reduce the price of these materials because they have been enjoying the protection of Shu Mountain, the price is secondary, but if they refuse to continue to provide food and materials to Shu Mountain because of distrust, it is really troublesome......
"Can't you go to other places to procure, there should be more than one town around here, right?"
"Yes, but it is far away, and there is a certain risk, and the large-scale procurement movement is very large, which is easy to attract the attention of some demons who are already hostile to Shushan. Moreover, the relationship between the town of Shushan has been maintained for hundreds of years, if someone deliberately instigates and instigates the townspeople to attack the mountain, the disciples of Shushan will definitely not be able to take action against ordinary people, and they are afraid that those evil things will take advantage of this opportunity to do ......"
"These people also know that they are not the opponents of the Shushan disciples, they should not take the initiative to attack them, right?"
Di Gua chuckled, not knowing whether it was ridicule or sarcasm, "Didn't the old man just say it, at the beginning, the footman was burned alive by the townspeople, because he spread the plague, and the Shushan disciples couldn't think of a solution. In the face of life and death, most mortals are selfish, and as long as someone magnifies their greed, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”
At present, I am still a mortal, and Hong Tuo doesn't like this sentence, and thinks that Di Hexagram is biased: "What Master said is only a part, and you can't summarize everything with this part of the person." ”
Di Hexagram does not say much, the ruler of the people is to fool the world, in order to facilitate management, and those with bad intentions can just take advantage of this.
"Look, boy......"
In the early morning of the second day, after eating the meal prepared by the old woman, the three of them left the promised silver and talismans, and then set off to Shushan.
There is a no-fly formation at the foot of Shushan Mountain, since she can only climb the mountain, although this formation does not work for Ah Sheng, she still follows step by step.
Halfway up the mountain, there are some blocking formations, people who can sense the existence of spiritual power, and release the attacking sword formation, if it weren't for Di Hexagram from Shu Mountain, know some, the three of them would probably waste a lot of time on the mountainside, even so, when the three of them walked to the top of the mountain, the sky gradually darkened.
The red burning clouds piled up in the sky, and a huge building finally appeared in front of it, and the Shushan Sect finally arrived.
