Chapter 5: The Fasting Place

In the early morning, the whole village has been rejuvenated, and people are gradually getting up to work, cook or joke, and the whole village is bustling with activity.

"Oh, old Zhangtou, eat? hey, I did. Okay, go ahead and get busy. This is the way of greeting between the villagers of Zhangjia Village, the village style is simple, and the villagers seem to be very honest.

"Hey, why didn't you see Zhang Fengren today?" asked a chubby woman in her 40s in the village.

"Idle woman, don't you just go and call him, doesn't she get up late sometimes. Another woman said.

"Idle woman" is the nickname that everyone gives Zhang Lianhua, just because she is idle in the village all day long, and she goes to other people's houses to eat and drink when she has nothing to do, but this is an era of relying on the sky to eat, it is impossible for you to eat and drink for nothing, right? So in return, she will tell some strange things to the family who invited him to dinner, from astronomy and geography to scoundrels. For these villagers, it is strange enough, and the exaggerated statement of the idle woman seems to pretend to tell you: "I know everything, there is no strange thing that I don't know!" If she was born in the West, maybe one day she would have given birth to a world famous book of "The Fable of the Idle Woman".

So the idle woman walked towards Zhang Xiaoyi's mother, Zhang Feng's house.

"Hey, Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng? Zhang Feng...... What about Zhang Fengren? It's a big deal! Zhang Fengren is gone!" The idle woman just walked into Zhang Feng's house and found that there was nothing abnormal, and that was because Zhang Xiaoyi had already cleaned up the scene before leaving. Then the idle woman walked into the back room, turned the whole house around, looked around for a while, and found that Zhang Fengren was indeed gone!

This voice didn't matter, and immediately attracted the attention of the whole village, only to see everyone looking at each other, with a little panic in their eyes. There are only two words in everyone's hearts......... What they didn't know was that at night, Zhang Xiaoyi had already transferred the body to a bamboo forest two miles away from the village and buried it in the soil. And the terrifying legend of that bamboo forest and the rule that you must not go have already been spread by the idle woman throughout the village. And apparently, this seemingly ordinary town seems to have some hidden secrets......

We will continue to tell about this seemingly ordinary village in the future, so now, let's cut the camera back to Zhang Xiaoyi and the others.

On a small dirt slope 10 miles away from Zhangjia Village, two young people were walking side by side, and in such a state, the two of them walked for half an hour, all the way, without words.

After walking for another half an hour, Zhang Xiaoyi said softly: "It's almost time to Longxi." ”

"Hmm. Zen replied softly. The two of them did not speak again.

Walking like this, they quickly walked to the gate of Longxi, and after giving a few officials who guarded the gate "tolls", the two entered the city and went straight to the "Fuzi Lane" in Zhang Xiaoyi's mouth.

After walking blindly and asking for directions, the two finally walked "smoothly" to Fuzi Lane. Fuzi Alley doesn't look at the word "lane" in its name, but the whole alley is very lively, and its popularity is not inferior to those streets in the center of Longxi County. The whole alley of Fuzi Lane is very spacious, there are more than a dozen hawkers on the side of the alley, and the things sold are everything, eating, drinking, and playing, which is dazzling. There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and you can meet people of all kinds here.

I saw Zhang Xiaoyi excitedly pulling Zen Lai, pointing to an inconspicuous pharmacy and saying: "Zen, Brother Zenlai, this is there!"

At this time, the black poison in the two of them had already begun to take effect, and the bursts of fatigue and pain had made Zen too late to think about anything, so the two hurriedly walked into the "Kang Lian Pharmacy". ”

As soon as I entered the meditation, I found that there was a hole in this house! As soon as I entered a spacious courtyard, I continued to walk forward and saw two doors, only to see that the first door was painted with red paint with a few big characters written on it: "Visitors to the doctor enter", and the other door was also painted with red lacquer, with the words "other enter".

Zen came to see without saying a word, just wanted to walk into the right door, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaoyi, only to see Zhang Xiaoyi said mysteriously: "Senior brother, this river and lake has the rules of the rivers and lakes, we are here to treat the disease, and the curable disease is related to the rivers and lakes. All the participants must enter the fasting place, and this fasting place is opened by those masters of martial arts and deep concealment, and its purpose is to find the participants and those who are hidden in the people, and this meeting is another saying........."

"Stop, stop, you keep talking, the county officials will come to this pharmacy to carry the two corpses after dark. Zen came to see Zhang Xiaoyi open the chatterbox, chattering endlessly, as if he was going to say his eight ancestors as legends, he hurriedly stopped him from talking, and walked to the second door first, and found that Zhang Xiaoyi was still stunned in the local area, so he urged: "You really want to let the officials collect the corpse, don't hurry up!"

Zhang Xiaoyi reacted at this time, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth embarrassedly, and then walked to the front of the second door, and pushed the door in with Zenlai.

But within two seconds of them entering, Zhang Xiaoyi felt that his neck was cold, not only to the neck, but this shot didn't matter, Zhang Xiaoyi directly held a cold hidden weapon! This made Zhang Xiaoyi take a big jump. He subconsciously looked around-

"Brother Zen Lai be careful!"

Zen Lai reacted suddenly, suddenly took out the Zen staff and subconsciously slammed it back, and in an instant a person fell behind Zen Lai and fainted.

At this moment, seven or eight people dressed in black with swords in their hands suddenly poured out from behind the corners of the walls and beams of the house, and they rushed forward without leaving much of a chance for the two of them to think.

"If you enter the door, you will be plotted, is this the rule of the rivers and lakes?!" Zhang Xiaoyi said without tears, drew his sword out of the sheath, and with a "dang" sound, he started a battle that lasted for half an hour. Although the two of them were affected by the black poison and their combat effectiveness was reduced, they were too weak to stand up to those few people, and they couldn't stand up after being beaten by Zhang Xiaoyi and the others without two hits. The situation quickly flipped around.

Just as the two of them were boiling with enthusiasm to "beat" those people, a handsome young man with a small pipa behind him walked out, instantly attracting the attention of Zhang Xiaoyi and Zen Lai.

"Are you—" Zen asked nervously.

"Hahahaha. The young man didn't answer, laughed softly, looked at Zen Zhang Xiaoyi stunned for a moment, and then continued as if he was very satisfied, "Below is the Longxi Zhaizhai Seeker, Qin Ya." ”
