Chapter 030: Yin Soldiers Cross the Road
After eating the rabbit in his hand, the sloppy old man spit out the bones unsatisfied, and saw that Meng Xingnan was also gobbling up, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and then he laughed again, and his voice was like a bell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He stretched out his hand to the ground and grabbed a few handfuls, and wiped it on the Dao robe a few times, Meng Xingnan vaguely glimpsed it out of the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help frowning, no wonder the Dao robe on Lao Dao's body was so dirty, and he dared to love it like this.
After the sloppy old man wiped the oil stains in his hands, he glanced at Meng Xingnan meaningfully, didn't speak, stood up directly, raised his head and drank a big sip of wine, and walked away.
A song came from afar: "Once in the red dust for thousands of years, the white head is poor and idle." If you can't ask the sky, why not laugh at the rivers and lakes. "The song is melodious, and it is getting farther and farther away.
Meng Xingnan looked at his disappearing back blankly, but he didn't expect this sloppy old man to be so free and easy, and he didn't say thank you for snatching his roast rabbit...... Singing like this, he left......
The demeanor of this worldly master is really ......
Shaking his head and laughing, he ate the remaining rabbit meat in his hand. When he went to the river and filled the gourd with water, he also walked away like the sloppy old way.
After eating the little half of the rabbit, his body gradually gained strength, and Meng Xingnan continued to hurry.
I don't know how long I walked, but I saw that the sky was getting darker. I didn't see the village all the way before, and I didn't see the store after. Meng Xingnan didn't feel that it was a headache when he saw it, how could he go down the mountain by himself, and the path he walked along the way was always wrong.
It's not that I missed the accommodation, so I had to sleep in the wilderness. is to encounter some abandoned ancient temples, barely coping with the night, why can't I always find a Taoist temple to place an order?
Seeing that the sky was approaching dusk, fortunately, after walking for a short time, I saw a small village faintly appearing in front of me. Meng Xingnan's spirit suddenly perked up, grinned, and said in his heart: "Tonight, I finally don't need to sleep in the wilderness, I can find a farmhouse to spend the night." ”
When Meng Xingnan walked to the intersection of the village, it was already dark, and he found the nearest family, planning to stay overnight. He patted the dust off his body. Knocking lightly on the courtyard door and shouting: "The head of the household is here, Xiaodao missed the night, and wants to borrow it for one night." It will be done in the morning, and I hope that the donor will make it convenient. ”
Meng Xingnan slapped the door panel many times, and his voice gradually increased, but no one answered. There was no one around, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, so I took a few steps back, looked at the surrounding environment, and carefully watched the situation of this small village.
The village, which has about dozens of families, is in the recess of a hill. The houses in the village also look neat. And most of the houses are very clean in front of their homes, obviously often cleaned, not an uninhabited village.
Meng Xingnan saw that this family had never come out to see the door, and he was not reluctant at the moment, so he was ready to change another one. When he was about to leave, he suddenly only heard a **** "squeak", and the door in front of him was opened at once, revealing a crack in the door.
A white-haired old man with vicissitudes of life poked his head out carefully, and he saw that there was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Taoist priest like Meng Xingnan outside the door, so he opened the door. Without waiting for Meng Xingnan to speak, he pulled him into the house.
Moreover, the white-haired old man seemed to be very vigilant, and when he turned around, he firmly closed the **** and dropped the door latch. didn't speak, just grabbed Meng Xingnan's hand and pulled it into the house.
Meng Xingnan did not fight against the old man, but let him be dragged into the house. However, the white-haired old man's actions made Meng Xingnan suspicious. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Why didn't the old man come to open the door just now?" What's going on in Shamo Village?"
The old man looked Meng Xingnan up and down a few times, and saw that although this little Taoist priest was dusty, the childishness on his face was still not taken off, and he did not look like a villain between conversations.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said: "Xiaodao Chief, you are so bold, but you don't know that something strange has happened recently in our Niutou Mountain area. After sunset, no one dares to go out of the village, if it weren't for the old man's courage, who would dare to open the door for you?"
Meng Xingnan was greatly surprised by the old man's words, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what happened here, old man, making the village so deserted." ”
Asked by Meng Xingnan like this, the white-haired old man sighed and didn't answer first.
After he beckoned Meng Xingnan to sit down, he immediately served coarse tea, and then said: "The little Taoist chief doesn't know, there have been demons and evil in our village recently. The people were panicked, and the big guys were very frightened. ”
Meng Xingnan traveled a long distance, tired all the way, and felt very hungry and thirsty, so he took a sip of tea and moistened his throat first. When he was about to inquire carefully about what kind of evil was going on, he suddenly found that there was no one else in the house except for the white-haired old man, so he asked casually: "Why does the old man live alone, and he doesn't see any children and grandchildren living together?"
The old man listened to Meng Xingnan's question, and sighed and said, "The little Taoist chief doesn't know something, the old man Li Chongjiu (note)." This year, he is fifty-six years old, and he has two sons and seven or eight grandchildren. ”
"It's just that some time ago, Liu Twelve from the village came back from hunting in the mountains, and suddenly saw a group of people marching in front of him, all wearing helmets and armor, about thousands of people......
Meng Xingnan listened to the old man Li Chongjiu's eloquent words, and gradually knew the whole story, and his face began to become heavy.
It turned out that Orion Liu Twelve came back from hunting, and when he saw the army suddenly appearing here, he thought that this place was just a small mountain, how could so many people suddenly appear.
When Liu Twelve hits wild things, sometimes he will take them to the market to sell them, and exchange them for some oil and salt and other things to supplement his family. Walking around a lot, the news is naturally much better than that of the villagers.
He once heard that the Mongols in the imperial court often rebelled because the Han and Nan people often rebelled, and thought that the current Han and Nan people were too difficult to govern, and advocated that the five surnames of Zhang, Wang, Liu, Li, and Zhao should be killed completely.
The reason is that these five surnames have the largest number of people, and if you kill these five surnames, you will naturally not be able to rebel. Either these generals came here to slaughter the village on the orders of the Mongols.
You know, who in the whole world does not know the tyranny of the Mongols? In the past, when they were at war with the Great Song Dynasty, they killed people and slaughtered cities at every turn, and I don't know how many people have died until now?
Liu Twelve was among the five surnames, and he was panicked, afraid that these soldiers would come to kill him.
However, when he saw that the direction of the troops was not the village where he lived, he felt a little relieved, so he secretly followed, wanting to see what was going on and be prepared.
As he followed closely behind these soldiers and horses, he felt in a trance that a man in mourning clothes was approaching to snatch his prey.
How Liu Twelve was willing to give up, he naturally fought with all his might. Unexpectedly, after he punched the man, the man suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
Moreover, the thousands of military horses that kept moving forward in the mountain road were also mysteriously gone.
When Liu Twelve saw this situation, he couldn't help but be shocked, and even though his face was colorless, he knew that he must have encountered the legendary Yin soldier passing by.
The Yin Soldier Crossing is also called the Yin Soldier Stepping Realm, or the Heavenly Soldier, which is a corps composed of powerful ghosts in the underworld, which is responsible for escorting ghosts. It usually occurs only around the time of the Great Tribulation.
It is rumored that those who see the Yin soldiers passing by are like being taken away by the Yama Difu, and they will die soon. Nine times out of ten, they will be taken away by the Yin soldiers and enter the Netherworld.
Liu Twelve returned home in despair, and he briefly told his family what had happened. arranged the aftermath, and soon died violently.
Since then, there have been cases of people dying violently for no reason in the village, and more and more people have died. Later, the same thing began to happen in the surrounding villages......
