Chapter 17 First Arrival in Renji Village

Wang Ming stopped in front of a stone bridge in front of Renji Village, and he just looked at the stone bridge in front of him blankly, and his eyes showed a sadness from time to time

。 The two of them also looked at the stone bridge, this stone bridge is slightly arched, from this side of the bridge you can see the knees of the opposite person, the stone bridge is very wide, it seems that three carriages can walk at the same time.

On both sides of the stone bridge there is a guardrail about half a foot high, each guardrail is relatively carved with some stone lions, there are two stone lions at each end of the bridge, this lion is obviously much larger than the guardrail, the lion is carved very realistically, each of them is majestic, it seems that it can make a roaring sound at any time.

Under the stone bridge is a river, the water is very clear, and the river is full of lotus flowers in this season, and the lotus flowers are beautiful and the colors are different. The lotus leaf is spread on the water surface, occasionally the lotus leaf is angry with a splash, the water droplets splash on the lotus leaf, along the lines on the lotus leaf dripping and earning a few laps, most of them slipped into the water again, and in the place where the splash just now, a black shadow swam by.

This stone bridge is nothing special compared to other stone bridges in other parts of the world, except that it is larger and wider. Lu Mu and the two of them understood that this stone bridge naturally meant something else to Wang Ming, so they didn't bother him.

Lu Mu lightly touched Lu Yan and made a look, and Lu Yan nodded instantly. Lu Mu looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, and his figure disappeared with a slight flicker.

Lu Mu came to the sky above Renji's village, and from the air he saw that Renji Village was east-west, and the whole village was built on the terrain of Kunlun, and the village stretched for about seven or eight miles, which was obviously much larger than other villages in the world.

Running alongside the village was a river, the one they had just seen. The east side of the river extends from the Kunlun Mountains, but the west side is not visible at a glance, the river completely surrounds the whole village, except for the stone bridge just now, the whole river and the village have the same length of a total of three stone bridges, each distributed on the left and right sides of the main stone bridge about two or three miles.

The two stone bridges are noticeably smaller than the one in the middle. Looking at the geographical location of Renji Village, Lu Mu understood that the construction of this village must have been designed by a master, although Lu Mu was not very proficient in the problem of feng shui, but looking at the village by the mountains and rivers, he knew that even if it was not a treasure land, it must be a place that could better accept the aura of heaven and earth.

Another reason why Lu Mu has such an idea is that he can faintly see a kind of auspicious light emitted from the village in the air, which emits from the east end of the village and spreads to the entire village.

Lu Mu looked at the place where the auspicious light was strongest, and he could clearly see the appearance of a temple, and he knew in his heart that this was naturally the stone tablet temple, and from the stone tablet temple, a black fog could be faintly seen, and this black fog could clearly see that there was a tendency to flow, but it was surrounded by auspicious light, and it couldn't rush out for a while.

Lu Mu thought in his heart that the reason why there was a change in Renji Village must be related to this black fog, and all the problems should be in the stone tablet temple, he originally wanted to go down and take a closer look at the temple, but first, Yu Yan was still waiting, and second, his spiritual power was still very unstable, and besides, although the black fog had hidden dangers, it would not break through the auspicious light for a while, so there should not be any big problems, so he flew down.

It's just that what Yu Mu didn't know was that the moment he appeared and disappeared, the fluctuations of the black fog fluctuated significantly, and with the fluctuations of the black fog, he could clearly see that the auspicious light also moved, and the place at the west end of the village was obviously darker.

When Yu Yan came back, Wang Ming had already come back to his senses, he didn't see Yu Mu's movements, and said, "I'm back again, the village will definitely get better." ”

His tone was still very firm, but the two of them could still hear that they were still a little lonely. Finally, Wang Ming took a step and walked onto the stone bridge.

The bridge was paved with green bricks, and each green brick was polished to shine, and the expression on Wang Ming's face when he stood on the bridge was a lot easier. It's just that what makes the two of them strange is that it is noon, and although the weather is hot, there is no one around.

It stands to reason that this should not be the case, there are a lot of people on the street when Lu Mu looks at it from the air, and even from their current position, they can clearly see the people in the village walking back and forth, and they can clearly hear all kinds of lively sounds.

Wang Ming didn't seem to think much about it, and quickly rushed into the village, and the two of them followed, at the moment when Wang Ming rushed into the gatehouse of the village building, Lu Mu could see that something seemed to be fluctuating around Wang Ming, and the three big characters of Renji Village on the gatehouse obviously lit up when Wang Ming entered the village.

Yan Yan also observed this situation, and quickly walked to the gatehouse. This gatehouse is built up of stones, the style of the gatehouse is so ordinary, two stone walls of one foot square on both sides, the distance between the stone walls is the same width as the stone bridge, the two stone walls are a stone face about two feet high horizontally, the middle of the stone face is written with three big characters of Renji Village, and there are some small characters on the side, which is to introduce the history of Renji Village.

Yu Yan entered the gatehouse and did not feel any changes, so after trying again or twice, everything was calm, and Lu Mu didn't know what the reason was, although his heart was full of doubts, he had to follow Wang Ming in.

Just like what they saw in the stone bridge, there were many people on the streets of the village, and the various voices of all kinds of people buying and selling things filled the whole street. Lu Mu is okay, after all, he has learned about the situation of the village from the sky above the village, but Yu Yan's face is incredible, all he can see is that the street is very spacious, both sides of the street are covered with buildings, and there are all kinds of signboards hanging on the upper floors.

The whole street is full of small vendors, and in front of each vendor's stall is a person, everyone is haggling with each other, and all kinds of aromas can be smelled at all times.

If it weren't for Wang Ming's explanation in advance, Yu Yan couldn't believe that the place in front of him was just a village, this village was much more lively than ordinary towns, and everyone's faces were full of smiles.

Although Yu Yan was shocked in his heart, after all, he was also a cultivator, and he could still see something different from the smiles of the villagers, this thing was hidden behind each smile, although it was looming, but it really existed.

Lu Mu was naturally aware of this situation, but this was not the same as the black fog he saw, the black fog was always displayed, but this thing was intermittent, seemingly non-existent.

The smile on Wang Ming's face has never broken from the moment he came in, and Wang Ming's smile naturally does not have the kind of thing in the smile of the villagers. Some of them saw Wang Ming and quickly greeted him.

Walked to Wang Ming's side and bowed: "Wang Gongzi is back, you don't know that since you left, Wang Ye is very anxious, we are all untouchables, naturally there is no way to comfort Wang Ye in person, despite this, I also burn incense every day and pray that Gongzi can turn evil into good fortune outside, so as to return safely as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he turned around again, thinking about the direction east of the village. This person was full of smiles from the moment he saw Wang Ming, but he could clearly see that behind the smile was also a black thing, which covered his entire face, and the louder he laughed, the more obvious the black thing became.

Wang Ming couldn't see this situation, he just had an uncomfortable expression on his face, and subconsciously arched his hand at the man, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to look.

Seeing this, the surroundings also began to want to come around, but the man seemed a little anxious and said: "My name is Wang Erlin, I heard that Master Wang's quota for buying salt has not been used up yet, and I also ask my son to go back and say a few kind words." He had a flattering look on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding people gathered over, Wang Ming obviously knew that there would be such a situation, and his face was not surprised but full of helplessness. Wang Ming was surrounded by the villagers, and everyone was talking nonsense, although they couldn't fully hear what they were saying, but they generally understood that what they said was related to salt and quotas.

The people who came later were very excited that Wang Erlin had been squeezed to the outermost, and he wanted to squeeze through again, so he tried a few times and said without success: "You people don't bother Wang Gongzi, let's hurry up and let him go home, what's the matter with all the crowding here." ”

Seeing that no one listened to him, it was obvious that he was a little angry, and said in a loud voice: "You people are really shameless, Wang Gongzi just came back, you are here to ask someone to do something, is there such a thing as you, besides, you must be polite first, you will not play any role in this way, Master Wang will not give you the quota, you..."

No one listened to Wang Erlin's words, and he was obviously angry. It seemed that he also realized that saying this was useless, so he began to squeeze desperately into it again. All this came too fast, and before the two of them understood what was going on, they were pushed far away from Wang Ming by everyone.

The strength of these villagers at the moment is surprisingly great, and Yan Yan can obviously feel the feeling of being thrown out, and the sound of buying and selling that was still lively just now has become the sound of what kind of salt is it that is chaotic at the moment.

The whole street came out of the small stall owners were still guarding their stalls, and the other people ran over, and it was obvious from the eyes of the stall owners that they also wanted to come, but they could not give up their stalls, for fear that others would take their things.

And some of them were already quickly cleaning up this thing, and their eyes were still looking at Wang Ming's side from time to time, the movements in their hands were very fast, and the things were messed up.

Wang Ming was surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three layers, his body was no longer under his control, and his eyes showed great fear. Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other and nodded, and Mu Mu made the spiritual power to fix these people, and at the same time, Lu Yan pulled Wang Ming out, and after Wang Ming came out, the three of them quickly came to a corner and hid, and Lu Mu resumed the free movement of those people.

All this happened so quickly, those people didn't know what was going on, and they didn't know that the king was still in chaos at the moment.

Wang Ming was shocked, took a few deep breaths, looked at Mu Mu Yan's face full of shame, blushed and lowered his head, and then clasped his hands and said: "The village is not like this, I don't know why they have become like this, everyone is so selfish, for their own interests, there is no etiquette, righteousness and shame at all." This is also the reason why I went out, living in these two on the surface seems to have no change, in fact, everyone's essence is gone, I am not awake when I am like this, I don't realize this difference at all, but when I wake up, I understand that if I go on like this, the village will be finished sooner or later, and nothing will end well without a good starting point, so please help me, I don't want them to go on like this..." Wang Ming's eyes were full of tears, and his voice became trembling.

Yu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are here to help you, we are friends, friends naturally want to help each other, you don't have to cry, it's not ours when you cry, so we will be very embarrassed." ”

Lu Mu also comforted: "I just looked at the people in your village, but some changes have occurred, you can rest assured that we will definitely investigate and deal with the reasons for this, and help your villagers to return to their original state, which is also our task." ”

Wang Ming nodded, trying to hold back the tears that were about to flow. It has only been two days since he met Wang Ming, and Wang Ming has shed tears several times, each time for the villagers in his mouth, they don't know what Wang Ming will be like in the future, but at this time, the young man's sincere heart touched them again.

The two of them were also more determined to help Wang Ming, and they also realized that the changes in Renji Village this time must have something to do with their mission.
