Chapter 101: October 15th Divine Sacrifice (1)
As Shen Guhong expected, early in the morning, the inn exploded. There were dead people in the inn again, and more dead than last time.
Meng Zhe came with the people from the City Lord's Mansion, and the autopsy had already experienced that they all died around the time of the child, and there were no injuries, and there was no sign of poisoning.
Could it really be that the moon god wants to punish those who have done bad things? The people in the inn, except for the new merchants, are all people from the rivers and lakes who have come to hunt for treasures this time, who does not have a few lives on their hands? Who can say that they have not done bad deeds? Even if they are famous knights, they will inevitably kill some good people in vain. At the moment, they were all trembling, and they were all silent.
Shen Guhong went down the stairs, and Meng Zhe looked at him in surprise. He thought that Shen Guhong would not come out after knowing the cause and effect, but he didn't expect Shen Guhong to come.
When Shen Guhong saw those dead people, he was suddenly shocked, because several of them had eaten the fried rice of the fried rice brothers. On that day, he passed by with Meng Zhe, and it was these people who were eating fried rice, and at that moment he had a horrified thought in his heart, the dead people had all eaten fried rice from the fried rice brothers. In other words, these people are all doing things for the fried rice brothers.
"Guan Daguan Er must know some secrets of the Moon God Temple!" Shen Guhong muttered to himself in his heart. After everything was straightened out, Shen Guhong walked towards his room again, just in time to meet Guan Daguan Er and come out to eat. As always, the two of them saw the dead as if they didn't know each other, and in fact they probably didn't know each other, after all, there were so many people who had eaten their fried rice.
In the days that followed, unsurprisingly, every day someone died when he was a child, but the cause of death could not be determined. At this time, not to mention the Moon Clan people in Feiyun City, even many people from the Central Plains believed that it was the Moon God who was punishing the bad guys, and they were all staying in the inn at the moment, not daring to go out again.
Legend has it that on the day of the moon god festival, the moon god would come to the world and reward those who did good deeds. Many people who think that they have not done bad things are wondering if they will be favored by the moon god. The funniest thing is that those people with blood on their hands actually started to be good people at this time, they thought that the people of the Moon Clan were more likely to be favored by the Moon God, and then they all went to help the people of the Moon Clan. Of course, there are still nine out of ten people who have the idea of treasure. They don't believe in God, they don't even believe in themselves, they believe that there is a treasure here, but how to find it, they don't seem to move, obviously waiting for something.
Shen Guhong looked at those who did good deeds, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, if he hadn't done so many unsightly things on weekdays, how could he have been fooled so much?
"It seems that there are really fewer people who have died recently, and the Moon God can really manifest himself, as long as he does things for the people of the Moon Clan and gives them money, he can forgive his sins?" Xiao Rin said half-jokingly.
Shen Guhong said with a smile: "That's because the people who fry rice are no longer fried, it is estimated that there is no rice, and there are no green peppers and shredded meat!"
"It seems that you have basically determined that everyone who dies is basically the one who has eaten fried rice!" Xiao Rin said.
Shen Guhong said: "From Xie Lianyi and others, to now, all I know has eaten fried rice." Now I'm curious about where the two brothers really fried rice some time ago, and why the people who lived in the inn could eat it. ”
Xiao Rin said: "No matter where they fry, as long as someone tells the people in the inn that in this Feiyun City, there are definitely a bunch of people who are willing to eat their fried rice." ”
"In other words, there are still their people in this inn!" Shen Guhong said.
Xiao Rin said: "Not necessarily, maybe it's just that he gave some people benefits and asked him to tell the people in the inn." ”
"Then why did they come to the city to fry rice again?" asked Shen Guhong.
"It's very simple, people who have eaten fried rice have died, who will not be afraid? Only when you come to a place where there are many people in the city, will there be people who are not afraid of death, and at the same time, there are also people who do not know that they will die if they eat fried rice!" Xiao Rin said.
Shen Guhong nodded, he cleared some thoughts, but he didn't tell Xiao Rin that those people went to the Moon God Temple to be poisoned, because his intuition told him that this Xiao Rin must also know the real cause of death of these people.
In the blink of an eye, it was the twelfth of October, the moon was gradually rounding, and in the last two days, there were basically no dead people. At this time, everyone didn't bother to investigate the murderer, as long as they didn't die, they were not in danger. However, the uneasiness in Shen Guhong's heart became stronger and stronger, and in this Feiyun City, it seemed that there would be a storm coming.
The moon in the desert is no different from that in the Central Plains, but from here, it has a different taste. All of this may just be a function of the heart, such as homesickness, or looking forward to going out sooner.
But no matter what you think about the moon, the law that it rises from the east and falls into the western mountains has never changed for thousands of years. In this desert, because there are no mountains, the yellow sand spreads, as if it is connected to the sky, so there is always an illusion that the moon is very close to people.
The cold moon and yellow sand are the wonders of the desert, but there are not many people who come here to see the scenery, because the scenery here is easy to kill people. Therefore, at this time, people who stand in the desert and look at the moon are definitely not just looking at the moon for the sake of looking at the moon.
"It's been fifteen years, and you're finally back!" said a man. His face was extremely pale like the people in Feiyun City, but there was something different, that is, his eyes. The people in Feiyun City, because they have a common belief in the moon god, what they have to do every day is to tell their joys and sorrows to the moon god, praying for peace and happiness, because most of the time, their eyes are pious. But this man is different, his eyes are slender and narrow, sharper than a falcon, and not only that, you don't see in his eyes the slightest bit of devout belief in the moon god, there is desire and ambition, he is Andra, the treasurer of the desert star.
"It's been fifteen years, and I was still a teenager of more than eleven years old back then!" The person who spoke wore an extremely hideous ghost mask, and there was a king in the center of his eyebrows, adding a bit of coldness. A person who can wear such a mask has no one else in the world except the ghost-faced Yama.
"Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that fifteen years have passed, this time the two of us cooperate, we will definitely be able to get the treasure in the Moon Temple, when the time comes, I will not only be the richest man in the desert, but also the richest man in the world, I want to use that money to build an army, expedition to the east and west, so that the east and the west are coherent, when the time comes, I will not only have endless territory, the harem of three thousand, I will also conquer overseas. ”
Ghost-faced Yama said lightly: "You are cultivating in the Desert Star in Feiyun City, and the money you have earned in the past ten days is worth your income in a year or two, I thought you would be satisfied, but I didn't expect your ambition to be so big, but I underestimated you!"
Andra said: "People can only be motivated if they set the most ambitious and ambitious goals for themselves. If I had just been a devout believer in the moon god like them, how could I have Andra today?"
"You're not wrong about that!" said Ghost-faced Yama.
Andra snorted coldly and said, "Did you bring that thing? That's the condition of our cooperation." ”
"Don't worry, I've always been honest in what I do, and besides, there are still things I need in it, if we don't have that thing, how can we get in?"
Andra nodded: "You revealed the matter of the Moon Temple to those two fried rice, right?"
"You should know that in the past fifteen years, the statue has been painted with a lot of fox hearts, and even the entire hall has been filled with fox hearts. If I don't let them go out of the way, what will I do to lure them here?" said Yama.
"It seems that you are indeed a Yama from hell, do you know? How many people have been dragged into the desert to feed the eagles during this time? There are more than 400 people! You, you are really more ruthless than me!" said Andra.
Ghost-faced Yama said: "There are not only eagles in this desert that will eat the dead, besides, you are a Moon Clan who believes in the Moon God, how can you talk about Yama!"
Andra laughed dryly: "What the high priest said, you even took away the formula of Fox Heart Scatter back then, is it true or false?"
Ghost-faced Yama said, "It seems that you haven't gotten closer to the high priest over the years!"
When Andra heard this, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable, but he was a famous vampire in the desert, so who was he afraid of? ”
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I will naturally do it. "Ghost-faced Yama said. "Okay, can these Jianghu people you bring in deal with the people in the Moon God Temple, the key to our success is here!" Andra said.
Ghost-faced Yama looked in the direction of the Moon God Temple, and said in his heart: "To destroy the Moon God Temple, what is needed is not human hands, but to provoke the greedy heart that is filled with human flesh, the high priest did not prevent those people from entering the Moon God Temple, I think her pious heart may not be pious." It's just that the person who set up the mechanism doesn't know how many fox hearts are in it, and he doesn't know how many people's lives will be used to open the way. ”
In the inn, Shen Guhong was bored and climbed on the roof of the Desert Star again. At this moment, I saw a delicate figure standing not far away, her long black hair was scattered and a vest, and she held an ordinary long sword in her left hand. You don't need to look at this person's face, just from this back, Shen Guhong can also recognize this person as Qinghan. This is a very strange feeling, the moment he saw Qinghan, Qinghan has long lived in his heart like an old friend for many years, and even he doesn't know what is going on.
"Do you also like to watch night scenes?" Shen Guhong said first.
Qinghan was still standing there, without even turning her head back, Shen Guhong didn't care, walked over, and stood down three feet away from her.
"The Moon God Festival is about to begin, and a lot of people will die, so you should leave early. Qing Han's voice came out, extremely cold, but Shen Guhong could feel the heat under the cover of the cold.
