Chapter Seventy-Three: The Incense Woman
When I first came to southern Xinjiang, no one had a clue to investigate, so instead of pursuing it aimlessly, it was better to wait according to what Yue Izumo said. After all, judging from the time when the people of Liujia Village disappeared, the people who caused the people to disappear were all shot after the fire.
The money gang came to Liujia Village much earlier than Tsukizumo and his party, and then Tsukizumo followed Gao Sheng to the place where the fire was originally ignited. According to the villagers' descriptions, the first place where the fire caught fire was the forest outside Liujia Village, and it was the time when the weather was dry and dry from winter to spring, but the warm and humid climate of Liujia Village made it difficult for this forest to be lit.
can make a forest burn in an instant, if it is not because of man-made, what else can it be?
Moreover, this forest is really some distance away from Liujia Village, and when the fire spread to Liujia Village, the fire naturally could not be suppressed, but these times were enough for the people of Liujia Village to react and start running away.
Why is the place where the fire is so far away from Liujia Village, and why did the people behind the scenes take away the scattered villagers one by one after the fire? Tsukizumo thought about it for a long time, and after a whole day of investigation, several people kept talking about their thoughts around the campfire, and finally came to a rough guess.
Why was the initial fire point away from Liujia Village enough time for the people to react, because the people who set the fire did not want all the people of Liujia Village to burn to death in the village. They needed the living, so they took away the scattered people one by one after the fire. But in the same way, the firefighters did not want their purpose to be exposed, so they used the fire as a cover, attributing the disappearance of the people to the fire, so that they could do their thing in secret.
However, if it is the people in the rivers and lakes who set fires, then what is the use of bringing these people over?
And that night, Yue Izumo suddenly remembered the woman named Liu Qifei who was mentioned by Gao Sheng during the day, and she was still looking for his husband on the night of the fire, indicating that his husband had disappeared before that night. And after Liu Qifei's father-in-law disappeared, a fire broke out in Liujia Village...... Tsukizumo always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this, but he couldn't think of anything about it.
After the second half of the night, there was a light rain in the sky. This should be the first rain of the year that Tsukizumo has seen, but the spring rain, which is supposed to symbolize auspiciousness, looks a little miserable on such a night. The rain was slightly cool, and a faint cry came from the ruins of the ancestral hall not far away.
Tsukizumo was inexplicably heavy, and although the rain had no effect on him, he still got up and walked out of the place where he was meditating. Footsteps sounded, and Yue Chuyun raised his head, but saw that the knife had never walked out outside without a trace, holding some ink in his right hand, but behind him was carrying a large bundle of firewood.
"When did even a magic weapon like Dianmo need to be used to chop wood. Moonrise tried his best to make himself look more indifferent.
Dao Wuxian shook his head, and slightly gestured to Chiba Changsheng in Yuezumo's hand and said, "I'm just a little faster than you, otherwise Chiba Changsheng would have to be used to chop wood, wouldn't it?"
"You can see it. Yue Chuyun smiled bitterly, but saw that the laughing scholar Luo Qinghuan all walked out.
"It seems that everyone thinks the same way, since Traceless is one step faster, it is better to send firewood over like this. The scholar smiled and said, "Do you know, every day in Qinglian Academy, although many headaches make me so busy that I don't have any time to rest, there has never been a day as fulfilling as today." ”
"Maybe that's what it's called chivalry. Lu Weifang continued.
Ah Xiao turned his face sideways and asked, "Brother Lu, are you a hero?"
"Count as a chicken. Lu Weifang said and put the scimitar in his hand behind him again.
A few people walked quickly towards the ruins of the ancestral hall in the village, and when they arrived, they didn't say anything, quietly lit a bonfire next to the crowd, and then sat down next to the bonfire.
Yue Izumo suddenly smiled, and the four people on the side suddenly looked at him, and when Yue Izumo saw it, he immediately smiled: "I suddenly remembered a question that someone asked me a long time ago. ”
"What's the problem?" asked Ah Xiao.
"Someone once asked me, what do you do, what is what, what is it, many things seem to be unnecessary, why do you do it?"
"Seeing that the road is uneven, pull out a knife to help, why do you need to ask for this kind of thing?" Ah Xiao asked puzzled.
Tsukizumo smiled bitterly: "It may be that many people in the place where I lived before are used to having to pay and have to gain, so I suddenly found that I seem to like my current life more." Not to mention these, I once thought that I had seen enough of the coldness in the rivers and lakes, but now I find that I am still trapped in my own world, the real helplessness of the rivers and lakes, how many have I seen?"
"What Brother Yue said is what I think. Dao Wuxian nodded and said, "Before going down the mountain, Master told me that only by seeing the things in the rivers and lakes can I truly see my heart. I didn't understand it before, but it wasn't until I met Brother Yue and saw so many things that I understood what Master meant by the word "heart" back then. ”
"This is the rivers and lakes, although doing some things for the people in the rivers and lakes is just for their own purposes, but what they bring to others is countless despair. The scholar sighed, "Just like a person in a high position, a random thought is enough to displace the people and make them miserable." ”
"So I suddenly had a dream. Tsukizumo suddenly smiled.
"What dreams?"
"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy. ”
Ah Xiao was excited when he heard this, Lu Weifang was thoughtful, and nodded inadvertently, while the scholar's face suddenly became serious.
"Brother Yue, what you said is true?"
"Who knows?"
The eyes were sly and smiling like foxes, and the scholar shook his head helplessly, but in an instant, he seemed to see a trace of persistence in Yue Izumo's eyes that he would never regret.
The light rain fell overnight and did not stop until the next day, and the rain seemed to be like a cry of God, all the way down from southern Xinjiang to Songzhou.
Outside Songzhou City, but ten miles is a temple of incense Ding City. The people say that the Bodhisattvas in this temple are the most effective, and the monks in the temple are all people with great magical powers.
This place is called Sumeru Pavilion, and there are countless pilgrims in Sumeru Pavilion.
On the bluestone steps in front of the mountain gate, a small monk in gray monk robes cleaned it early in the morning.
Dressed in a thin plain white shirt and holding a cyan oil-paper umbrella in his hand, on the bluestone steps where only the little monk swept the fallen leaves, Qiubai stepped lightly towards the steps.
The little monk raised his head with a smile on his face like seeing an acquaintance.
"Flawed girl, come to worship the Buddha again?"
Qiu Bai nodded, the veil on her face covered her expression, but it couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
The Zhang family has disappeared, you might as well throw away the surname that represents pain, anyway, now Qiubai is no more, and she just appears here Jun Wufang, that is, the flawed girl in the mouth of the little monk.
