Chapter 33: Bai Yang II
What Ye Zhen said refers to the place where Lao Huang picks that kind of strange red fruits, Ye Zhen has always longed for that place, but Lao Huang just hasn't taken him there, saying that the time is not right, which makes Ye Zhen very depressed, and now Lao Huang said that he can go, how can Ye Zhen not be happy and happy, so he put Yuanxiu aside for the time being.

Ye Zhen hurriedly asked the exact location of that place, and seeing his eagerness, he was eager to set off immediately.
Lao Huang was not in a hurry, let Ye Zhen be a little calm, and let Ye Zhen finish the affairs at home first, and then prepare to go.
Ye Zhen didn't quite understand when he heard it, and then he realized that Lao Huang was talking about the firewood in the yard, and he had to wait for him to deal with it.
Ye Zhen thought about it, he is still a woodcutter, and this firewood still has to be sold, although the cultivation is great, but he can't forget his roots.
On this day, Ye Zhen was busy for a while, chopping the wood all over the yard into firewood, and then sorting it into bundles and loading it on a wooden cart.
On the second day, before dawn, Ye Zhen pushed the cart on the road, and now he is a monk at the peak of qi refining, the innate true qi rotates all over the body, pushing a cart of firewood is simply like nothing, and his feet are like the wind, and it didn't take long to reach Tongguan County.
He hadn't been in the city for a few days, Ye Zhen was really excited, and those of his old customers were also very happy to see Ye Zhen, and they had a better relationship, and asked Ye Zhen what was going on these days, why didn't he come to sell firewood.
Ye Zhen casually said a reason, soon a cart of firewood was sold out, Ye Zhen did not delay time, in less than an hour, he went back and forth to Dahua Mountain three times, and all the accumulated firewood was sold, in exchange for a little silver tael, the harvest was quite rich.
At noon, Ye Zhen found a restaurant to rest, and in this half day, he heard some news.
Ye Zhen is concerned about Qian Yuanwai, although Qian Yuanwai has disappeared, but the sudden disappearance of such a big man will definitely attract the attention of the government, Ye Zhen wants to know how the government will deal with this matter.
The disappearance of Qian Yuanwai is indeed a big deal, the Qian Mansion moved a lot that day, and naturally it also alarmed the government, and when people entered the Qian Mansion, they were really shocked, no one thought that the Qian Mansion would be like this, the corpses were all over the ground, it was terrifying, it was simply hell.
More than 100 people died in Qianfu at once, this case can be regarded as a whole day, after careful investigation by the government, it was found that the bloody case of Qianfu really has a lot of weirdness.
One is that the cause of death of those people is unknown, and the experienced servants can't find the cause of death, and there is no blood in the bodies of those corpses, but there are all kinds of external injuries, and the most terrible thing is that the expressions of those people are very bland, and it seems that they are very quiet when they die.
The second is the whereabouts of Qian Yuanwai, there is no richest man in Tongguan in the corpse, and no trace of him has been found, Qian Yuanwai seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
The third is that since the cause of death is unknown, it is even more unclear who the murderer is.
In this way, the Qianfu bloody case is not only a big case, but also a mysterious case with many mysteries.
Months have passed, it is said that the government is no clue at all, the reward notice is posted next to the city gate, the bounty has reached a thousand taels of silver, but no one to uncover this notice, rumors say, Tongguan County Lord was forced by this case to be about to hang, and the people are secretly happy, the people in the city know that Qian Yuanwai and the county master are good friends, the two of them have done a lot of bad things for the traitor, now the Qian Mansion has an accident, the county master must feel that Qian Yuan is retribution, and he as a friend and partner outside the Qian Yuan, of course, will also worry about his own life, this is not to solve the case, and worry, the county master is of course not having a good timeγ
The government couldn't solve the case, and the people had already come to a conclusion, and they were talking about it in private, saying that the money clerk had been punished by God, and this beast had done so many bad things, making the heavens angry and resentful, and as a result, he was punished.
The common people are not talking nonsense, someone once said that on the night of the incident, they saw a blue lightning falling from the sky, and heard bursts of thunder, and the place where the lightning fell was the Qian Mansion, and then the Qian Mansion had an accident, which is enough to show that the Qian Yuan was struck by lightning and died cleanly, naturally the body could not be found, as for those people who were really affected by the Qian Yuan, God opened his eyes this time, but it was really too ruthless to start, it was really a fire at the city gate and the pond fish.
Ye Zhen was secretly funny when he heard these news, and felt that everyone's imagination was really rich, and the sky thundered, that is, the money clerk did a lot of evil, so everyone said so, but after being punished by God, Ye Zhen also felt that it was very reasonable, otherwise how could the money clerk be inexplicably gone, maybe it was really accepted by God.
Ye Zhen rested in the restaurant for a while, ate a bowl of noodles, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone in the next seat say to his companion, "Old Sun, do you know Niu Er?"
Ye Zhen paid attention when he heard Niu Er, listened carefully, and the old Sun said, "Niu Er, isn't that the little gangster?"
Lao Li said, "It's that gangster, this kid is crazy!"
Old Sun Qi said, "Crazy!?What's going on?"
Lao Li smiled and said, "Who knows what's going on, it's crazy anyway, it's said that I met a ghost!"
Lao Sun said, "I met a ghost, hehe, this is really God's eyes opener, that kid deserves it, you see what he has done all day, he is tyrannical and bullying the township, he should have been retributed." Come, let's have a toast to this kid. The two clinked glasses and drank as they spoke, and then laughed.
Ye Zhen heard that Niu Er was actually crazy, and sighed secretly, he knew best how Niu Er was crazy, although Niu Er was not dead that night, the fright he received was enough for him to bear, but Ye Zhen didn't expect Niu Er to be scared crazy, this is really the retribution that the two said.
Ye Zhen was in a good mood, but after hearing the news of Niu Er, he felt a little uncomfortable for some reason, and he didn't have the heart to listen to the conversation between the two, his eyes swept outward, and suddenly he seemed to see something, his eyes were stunned, and his expression was a little trance, what did he see?
The restaurant where Ye Zhen was located was on the side of the street, an avenue running through the east and west, and what he saw at the moment was an alley on the side of the street, just opposite the restaurant, and Ye Zhen looked at the alley and became distracted.
That alley doesn't look special, and for Ye Zhen, this alley and this alley definitely have commemorative significance, a large set a few months ago, Ye Zhen passed by this alley, and vaguely heard some voices from the depths of the alley, maybe it was curiosity, maybe it was providence, Ye Zhen turned around and walked into this alley, and as a result, he met her, Yuan Xiu, since then a relationship, a legend, and even a myth have kicked off, and this alley is also a turning point in Ye Zhen's life.
Goodbye to this alley, how could Ye Zhen not be distracted, how could he not think back to what happened in the alley that day, of course, what he missed most was her, Yuan Xiu!
Ye Zhen looked at the alley in a daze, recalling the past, anything that happened around him could not affect him, many people were very strange, why did this young man stupidly stay there in a daze, but it was none of his business, no one bothered him, so Ye Zhen was silent in his memories for a long, long time.
"Dangdang, knock knock ......" A series of crisp and loud gongs and drums woke Ye Zhen up, making him return to reality, sighing slightly, Ye Zhen looked for the sound, and saw a group of people in the distance coming to this side, the gongs were bursting, noisy and lively, I don't know what the joy is, there is such a movement.
Ye Zhen didn't know, but the old Li next to him was very clear, so he heard him say, "Old Sun, have you seen it, the county master has invited a master." β
Lao Sun Qi said, "What master?"
Lao Li was a little proud, after all, he really didn't know much about this matter, and after a while, he said, "The county master can't solve the case, so I thought of asking someone to help." β
Lao Sun was a little surprised, and said, "Isn't the reward notice unrevealed?"
Lao Li said, "There is only a few dollars in the reward, and this time the county master has made a bloody investment, which is enough ten thousand taels of silver, so he invited the master." β
Lao Sun exclaimed, "Ten thousand taels of silver, my God!
Lao Li didn't speak immediately, looked around mysteriously, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's the real person of Jin Tianguan." β
Lao Sun was stunned and said, "Jin Tianguan, how can you go to the Taoist priest to solve the case?"
Lao Li smiled and said, "You don't understand this, the county master can't solve the case, so he attributed this matter to the ghosts and gods, since it was done by the ghosts and gods, I have to invite a Taoist priest who is proficient in magic to come." β
Lao Sun immediately woke up and sneered, "I understand, the county master has no choice but to do this, what ghosts and gods do, it is obvious that he has a ghost in his heart." β
Lao Li hurriedly said, "You should be careful when you speak, it will be bad if this reaches the county government." Saying that, when he looked around, there were only Ye Zhen and the three of them in the restaurant, and Ye Zhen was an ordinary teenager, so Lao Li was relieved.
Lao Sun also knew that it was powerful, so he didn't say much, so he snorted heavily, and at this time, the sound of gongs and drums had come closer, the sound was loud and deafening, and Ye Zhen was also very curious about where the Taoist priest of Jintianguan was, so he stared at it carefully.
I saw that there were forty or fifty people in that group of people, most of them were officials, and there were two Taoist priests wearing big red Taoist robes in front of and behind, the two Taoist priests were very tall, with a proud expression, walking with their heads held high, really arrogant, looking like no one in their eyes, and next to the two red-clothed Taoist priests, there was a middle-aged man in official uniforms, looking at the head, this gentleman should be the lord of Tongguan County, but the lord who was full of official authority was smiling at the moment, and was saying something to the two Taoist priests, that look can be regarded as humble, and even whispered, just in the deafening sound of gongs and drums, whether the county master's words can reach the ears of the two Taoist priests is really a question.
Obviously, these two Taoist priests are the real people of Jin Tianguan, Ye Zhen was a little curious, so he took a closer look, with the improvement of cultivation, his eyesight is also much smarter, he saw these two Taoist priests, their feet were light, they landed silently, their eyes flashed, obviously they had a good inner family cultivation, but compared to the middle stream, Dewey and the two were still quite inferior, but their shelves were amazing, and they really had a bit of real style.
Ye Zhen said secretly, "These two people are at most a beginner level of qi refining, what kind of magic can they know with this cultivation, the county master spent 10,000 taels of silver to invite this kind of goods, alas, they are really blind." "He didn't know the inside story, the county lord invited the Taoist priest to do the magic of the gods, not to really do anything, but to attribute the Qianfu bloodshed to the haunting of the Qianfu, since it is haunted, it is naturally not humanly able to solve it, since manpower cannot, he, the county master, has no responsibility, so that he can sit back and relax and be the county master in a down-to-earth manner.
The sound of gongs and drums gradually faded away, and behind the large group of people followed by many people, who were all the people in the city, and heard that the county lord had invited a master, they all came to take a look, and there were still more and more people, and a long dragon was formed on the street, and the city of Tongguan was really lively.
Ye Zhen lost his curiosity after seeing the master, and the old grandson next to him, Lao Li had already integrated into the long dragon, so he naturally wanted to go to see the excitement and see how the master caught ghosts and gods.
After a long time, it quieted down, Ye Zhen looked at the empty street, and saw the alley again, his mood was suddenly low, he wanted to go in and have a look, but he knew what to do when he entered and saw it, he could only recall that past again, Yuanxiu would not appear, and affectionately called him "big brother"!
Ye Zhen was silent for a long time, suddenly got up and left the restaurant, didn't look at the alley again, took a big stride, and walked away like the wind.
This is the last time Ye Zhen came to Tongguan County, and he has never been back since, even if there is a place he misses, but after all, he still has a lot of things to do, a long way to go, and the small Tongguan County can't accommodate him, he belongs to this world, and even the world outside that heaven and earth.
