Chapter 138: The world is turbid, how can you wake up alone
On this lonely boat in Taihu Lake, where did Ye Cheng go to get water for Zhao Xuanwu, so he had to take off his clothes and dip them in the lake water, and then drip them in Zhao Xuanwu's mouth, and the blood had condensed on Zhao Xuanwu's face at this time, which looked very terrifying.

Ye Cheng felt infinite grief in his heart, blaming himself for causing Zhao Xuanwu to become what he is today because of himself, but now where to go on this vast Taihu Lake, Ye Cheng had no idea for a while.
"It would be nice if Qing'er was here, she has a lot of ideas, even if it is already an extremely difficult situation in the eyes of others, she can come up with a way. Ye Cheng sat alone on the side of the boat thinking about Zhong Qing.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and Ye Cheng couldn't tell the direction, so he had to let the boat move forward, fortunately, after a long time, he finally saw the shore.
Seeing some fishing boats docked on the shore, it turned out to be a village, Ye Cheng couldn't help but be very happy, as long as it was a place where people gathered, at least there should be a Langzhong, so that Zhao Xuanwu could be treated.
When the boat docked, Ye Cheng hurriedly helped Zhao Xuanwu to get off the boat, walked by in the surprised eyes of four or five fishermen, and went straight to the village.
However, although it is a fishing village, the streets are clean and tidy, and the houses are better than those of ordinary cottages, which shows that the villagers here are still relatively wealthy.
Seeing that it was the busy farming season, apart from some children and the elderly, there were few adults in the village.
At that moment, Ye Cheng found an old woman who was weaving a basket, and asked, "Old man, excuse me, excuse me, but what is this place?"
The old woman looked up and said, "What did you say?"
Ye Cheng thought that this old woman must be old, and her ears were not good, so he leaned closer and asked loudly, "What is the name of this village?"
"You ask me what is the name of my grandson? I have no grandson, only a granddaughter, who has just returned. The old grandmother said, but the work in her hands did not stop at all.
Ye Cheng saw that this old man was very deaf, so he had to turn around and want to ask someone else, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant voice behind him and said, "Big brother, is it you?"
Ye Cheng was familiar with this voice, and suddenly his thoughts flashed: "It's Youling, how could she be here." ā
Hurriedly turned around and looked back, and saw a six- or seven-year-old girl wearing a floral cloth shirt standing opposite him, but unfortunately it was not Youling.
"Little girl, are you calling me?" Ye Cheng didn't recognize this little girl, so he had to ask.
The little girl looked at Ye Cheng carefully up and down, and then nodded vigorously and said, "Big brother, is it really you?"
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly: "Little girl, this is the first time I have come to this village, you must have recognized the wrong person, right?"
"How could it be, on that big island, it was the big brother who saved us!" the little girl smiled brightly.
After the little girl said this, Ye Cheng suddenly remembered, could it be that this little girl was also one of the children who was taken away in the Fengming Cave on Sanfo Island at that time? At that moment, Ye Cheng hurriedly asked the little girl about the situation, it turned out that this was the case, but there were hundreds of children at that time, how could Ye Cheng remember their appearance one by one.
Ye Cheng walked over and hugged the little girl, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, your complexion looks good!" But remember to listen to grandma and father and mother, don't walk around casually anymore." ā
"Mom and Dad don't listen to Grandma. As she spoke, the little girl stretched out her immature little hand and pointed to her grandmother beside her.
The old lady still didn't seem to hear, and went about doing the manual work by herself.
Ye Cheng was really in no mood to take care of other people's affairs now, seeing that Zhao Xuanwu's eyes were already bulging high, and if he didn't heal it, he was afraid that there would be some danger. Immediately, Ye Cheng squatted down with a smile, took the little girl's hand and said, "Little girl, do my brother a favor, tell me what is the name of this village, can Lang Zhong see a doctor here?"
The little girl smiled innocently, and then said: "This is Moyu Village, of course Langzhong has it, but it's a strange Langzhong, I heard my father say that he drove away the original Langzhong, and he became Langzhong, but he didn't stay at home much, sometimes my father and mother wanted to find him and couldn't find it." ā
Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this: "Even the residents of this village are so difficult to find this Langzhong, let alone me, an outsider." ā
But Ye Cheng still didn't give up, and still wanted to ask what was going on before leaving. So he said to the little girl: "Little girl, the strange man you said doesn't often stay at home, but after all, he has a family, can you take me to him?"
The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, he lives in the ruined temple in our village." ā
When Ye Cheng temporarily settled Zhao Xuanwu in the little girl's grandmother's house, he asked the little girl's name Xiao Ning, and followed Xiao Ning to the broken temple on the outskirts of the village. But when he arrived, Ye Cheng was stunned by what he saw, but he saw that outside a small temple, there were four or five hundred people gathered.
Ye Cheng looked carefully and saw a plaque hanging on the face of the door of the broken temple, with three big characters on it: "Wenxiang Temple". The temple is old, but the words are new.
Ye Cheng said secretly: "Wenxiang Temple? Could it be that the Wenxiang Sect Master Stone was naturally set up? If this is the case, it is really a nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there, Brother Zhao is bent on getting rid of the leader of this cult, but today he met by chance." ā
Ye Cheng thought in his heart, then lowered his head and asked, "Xiao Ning, how can there be so many people here, are they all from the village?"
Xiao Ning looked at Ye Cheng with a smile, obviously she was too young to answer Ye Cheng's question.
Ye Cheng immediately understood, then squatted down and said to Xiao Ning: "Xiao Ning, you go home first, Brother Ye can handle the rest alone, listen to grandma at home, don't run around." ā
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "Okay big brother, if you run around again, you will be caught on the island again, right?"
Ye Cheng gently stroked Xiao Ning's hair, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, no matter when, it was ordinary people who suffered, either stolen or deceived, and it was really not easy to survive in this world.
After sending Xiao Ning away, Ye Cheng also followed the crowd and squeezed into the crowd, and then he noticed a strange thing, but he saw that these villagers were in groups of three or five, each of them seemed to be leading a little girl, the older one was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was only the age of Xiao Ning.
"This big brother is bothered, I am passing by here on business, but I see that it is so lively here, but I don't know why?" Ye Cheng asked a man leading a girl.
"Don't you know? Shi Zhenyan, the son of Shi Tiantian, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, traveled to Yumo Village, and changed the original Fengshen Temple to Wenxiang Temple.
After hearing this, Ye Cheng said secretly: "It's a pity, it turned out that it was not Shi Tiantian himself, but his son." But even those who deceive the people and harm the people with such fallacies should be removed. ā
Thinking of this, Ye Cheng asked with a smile: "Then this eldest brother, since ancient times, you can see Lang Zhong when you are sick, is there any illness that you can't even cure Lang Zhong?"
"Lang Zhong? How many patients can Lang Zhong see? Since Shi Dao Chang came here, many people who are dying have been taken care of, and many people in the village have been possessed by ghosts, which is like the reincarnation of a living Buddha!"
Ye Cheng pretended to suddenly realize, and continued to ask: "I see, but I see that you are all bringing girls here, is it possible that this stone path chief specializes in female illness?"
At this time, the man's expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "It's not, it's just that Shi Dao Chang said that this minor illness can be cured without money, but this possessed ghost is extremely difficult, and it is necessary to collect the aura of a young girl, and then cast a spell on the possessed ghost, so that it can be killed, otherwise the possessed ghost will be carried on the body every day, and this family will suffer a great disaster." ā
Ye Cheng had already understood the general idea when he heard it, and he couldn't help but be angry, but he didn't show it on the surface: "What a powerful ghost, but there are so many people here, why didn't I find out where they were?"
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Cheng as if he was very surprised, and then laughed and said, "Look at your young age, why are you so ignorant? If that powerful ghost can be seen by us mortals, can it still be called a ghost? Of course you can't see it!"
Ye Chenggong arched his hand and stopped talking. Seeing that the queue is extremely long, it can be seen that not only Yumo Village, but also some people from nearby villages are also admiring it, if they wait like this, I am afraid that the time will be very long, and immediately made up their minds, went around to the back of the temple, and entered through the wall from the backyard.
But seeing that the front of the temple was bustling and the sound was very noisy, this backyard was quieter in comparison, Ye Cheng was looking around to observe, but saw a Taoist boy leading a girl to the back.
Ye Cheng hurriedly hid in the dark, but seeing that the girl was about ten years old, she was led into a side house by Daotong, and then Daotong turned around and went out and closed the door.
Ye Cheng jumped on the roof, uncovered the tiles and looked inside the house, but saw that the furnishings in the house were very simple, a young Taoist in his twenties was sitting there, and in front of him stood a girl who had just been ushered in.
"Little girl, don't be afraid, you are making a contribution to your parents to drive away the possessed ghosts, it is a great merit, and the poor road can only dispel the ghosts with your strength. The young Taoist said slowly.
The little girl lowered her head and pulled the corners of her clothes, looking a little cramped and a little scared.
"Come on, come on, take off your clothes, only in this way can you lend your childlike aura to the hands of the poor Dao, so that you can help your parents dispel the ghosts. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take off the girl's clothes.
Ye Cheng looked at it, his lungs were almost going to explode, he picked up the tile he had just removed, threw it downward, and smashed it on the man's hand impartially.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Cheng jumped down from the roof, kicked the door in, and quickly closed the door. The man rolled on the ground in pain, and suddenly there was one more person in the room, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "You...... Who are you?"
Ye Cheng sneered: "I'm the possessed ghost you said, but it's not on someone else's, it's on you, but I don't know if there is any way to resolve it?"
The young Taoist is Shi Tiantian's son Shi Zhenyan, but he is not his own son, he is just the righteous son of the disciples, but this Shi Zhenyan is swaggering to the outside world, lying that he is the son of the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, because he often worships gold and silver, Shi naturally turns a blind eye and doesn't ask too much.
At that moment, Shi Zhenyan was in pain, and just wanted to open his mouth to call someone, Ye Cheng had already leaned up and lit his acupoint, took a candlestick with a candle in his hand, and pressed it against Shi Zhenyan's throat with a sharp point.
"Shi Dao Chief, don't make a mistake, my possessed ghost is not very good-tempered, if you dare to shout and scream, I can make you my companion in an instant. Ye Cheng said with a smile.
Shi Zhenyan was pointed at the acupoint, and was pressed against his throat, how dare he say more, he just nodded vigorously.
Ye Cheng smiled and said, "That's fine, let me ask you, how many disciples are there in this temple?"
Shi Zhenyan didn't dare to speak loudly, so he had to reply in a low voice: "Together..... There are twenty-one people in total. ā
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "From now on, let them send the girl over, but every time a different person will send it, understand?"
Shi Zhenyan's life was only in an instant, even if he didn't understand, he had to explain it, he shook a rattle next to the seat at the moment, and after a while, a disciple walked in, but seeing that all the lights in the room were extinguished, it looked very dim, Shi Zhenyan sat there, but the girl was still standing aside.
The disciple was very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to stand with his hands down and wait for Shi Zhenyan to speak.
"Go, take the girl away and give it to her parents, and then bring the girl back, but remember that you have to bring it to everyone else each time, just rattle my bell. Shi Zhenyan said in a low voice.
The disciple bowed and retreated, Ye Cheng leaned out from behind Shi Zhenyan, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "That's right, just say so." ā
So I saw that every time Shi Zhenyan rang the bell, a disciple came in with a girl, but when he came out, there was only a girl, and the disciple had already been tied up by Ye Cheng. In this way, after a while, twenty-one disciples were all tied up in this hut by Ye Cheng with their clothes.
The villagers outside were still wondering, how could they receive fewer and fewer Taoist children, and finally they couldn't see anyone at all, and some of them were not only shouting impatiently.
At this time, I suddenly heard a voice inside say: "Everyone, please take three steps back, the stone path chief will come out to meet everyone!"
As soon as they heard that Shi Zhenyan was going to come out, the villagers were in an uproar, and they took a few steps back, and when they looked again, they saw two people coming out of the temple gate, a gray robe in front of them, it was Shi Zhenyan himself, but there was a teenager behind him, and the villagers didn't recognize him.
"What's going on? Why is Shi Dao Chang tied all over, and who is the person in the back?" the villagers began to discuss.
Ye Cheng saw everyone's puzzled expressions, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Fellow villagers, you don't know, you have actually been deceived these days! This Shi Zhenyan doesn't know any medical skills at all, and the theory of possessing ghosts is even more false, the reason why he is playing tricks is to let you offer gold and silver and his daughter, so as to satisfy his personal desire for money." Don't say that he is just a righteous son of Shi Tiantian, even if it is Shi Tiantian himself, he is just a bigger liar!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire temple suddenly exploded, and a man in the front row asked, "Who are you?"
Ye Cheng replied: "Under the surname Ye Mingcheng, he is a person in the rivers and lakes, but he is passing by here, and he happened to encounter such a thing, Wenxiang Sect has always deceived the people and done some unsightly things, since I have touched it, there is no reason!"
I saw that everyone first whispered, and then fell silent, and then someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Don't believe this guy, he must be possessed by a ghost, and when he saw the Taoist chief here to subdue demons and eliminate demons for us, he was afraid that he would also be implicated, so he deliberately broke the Daoist's rituals, so that he could avoid being suppressed!"
"Yes, where did you come from, why do you want us to believe you!" "The Taoist chief has been treating and saving people for us for many days, and many people have been cured, how can you say that the chief is a liar based on a few words from you!" "You are a mortal with the naked eye, how do you know how powerful the leaning ghost is, you have tied up the Taoist now, the prostrated ghost will harm us sooner or later, how can you let you succeed!"
For a while, everyone seemed to have exploded, and the spearhead was pointed at and promised, and even Ye Cheng did not expect this scene.
Ye Cheng didn't say a word, let everyone scold and accuse angrily, he looked around, just shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect the world to be so ignorant, except for the traitors, as if they had harmed them, and this traitors are here to attack their women, but they still have to be grateful to Dade, as if they have received a lot of favor." Foolishness, foolishness!"
Ye Chen saw that everyone was scolding more and more fiercely, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart: "Why am I doing this, since they don't believe in me and are willing to be deceived, why should I stop it." ā
At this time, I saw Shi Zhenyan, who was tied up next to him, and smiled proudly: "What's the matter, you have seen everything? I don't have to say anything, they all believe me, no matter how much you say, no one will believe you if you break your mouth." If I don't deceive such foolish people, there will be people who deceive, so what's the use of you saving them?"
Ye Cheng kicked Shi Zhentian out in a fit of rage, and all the villagers exclaimed in unison, and they all stepped forward to help, for fear that this would hurt the mage in their hearts. And in this panic, Ye Cheng performed light skills and flew away.
Although Ye Cheng was open-minded, it was still difficult to let go of things like today, he ran all the way and said angrily: "I went to help them, they thought I was harming them, Shi Zhenyan was obviously harming them, but they thought they were helping them, how could the truth in this world be so reversed, how could the eyes of this world be so muddy?"
