Chapter 6 Get on the road again
Following.
The people of Taoyuan Village get up very early, and farming and weaving are their lives, although it is not exciting, but in their eyes it is very peaceful and calm.
Yue Fan pushed the door out, the sky was faint, but it was drowsy, it seemed that it was going to rain today.
......
"Little brother, are you going to leave now?"
"Well, I still have something!"
"But it's about to rain, so it's better to stay for one more day. β
"The rain will stop. β
......
Although Yue Fan does not consider himself a hero, he is a principled person.
In order not to affect the people here, Yue Fan ignored his weak body, inquired about the way forward, and repeatedly refused Lao Suo's stay and left alone. It's just that people want to stop, but they are in chaos......
"Alas~~" Looking at Yue Fan's distant back, reflecting the loneliness of Yizhong's thoughts, Lao Suo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Grandpa, look what this is!" asked the little dog, holding a stack of silver tickets in her hand.
Lao Su was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this silver ticket?" β
"This is what the white-haired brother asked me to give to my grandfather. He also said that if you want to get it, you have to give, and I hope I can do it in the future. β
"Oh! hehe...... He's an amazing man!"
"Yes!"
......
ββββββββββββ on the hill to the north of Taoyuan Village, a man stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Taoyuan Village from afar, and a group of masked people behind him were half-kneeling and waiting.
The man said indifferently, "What's the news?"
The masked man at the head said respectfully: "According to the information we inquired, Li Yuefan did appear in that village to inquire about the way to Hangzhou. And he also stayed at the house of an old man surnamed Luo for one night, and had already left early this morning. β
After a pause, the leader continued: "Chief, are we going to chase and kill with all our might?"
The man waved his hand and said, "No! we don't need to kill him." Tell me, what is the situation in the family surnamed Luo?"
"Rural farmers, only grandparents and grandchildren, no suspicious background. β
"What about the others?"
"The rest of the people were all farmers. β
"Okay! You act tonight, and there will be no one left in Taoyuan Village...... Remember, get the word out afterwards......"
"Yes!" ......
Conspiracy is like hands in the dark, manipulating secrets that no one else can know. And at this time, the victim knows nothing.
......
ββββββββββββ afternoon......
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-"
The rain was pouring down, and Yue Fan took refuge in a small cave for the time being.
"Although the strength is restored quickly, the vitality in the body is very thin, and it seems that it will take a while to recover. β
Listening to the sound of rain outside the cave, Yue Fan's thoughts were wandering in his heart, and he couldn't calm down. So he reached into his bosom and took out a few things and laid them on the ground.
opened the oil paper bag on the left, but there were a few books: "Soul Chasing Sword Spectrum", "Five Poisons Secret Biography", "Secret Piercing Heart" and a silver ticket, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of taels.
On the other side, there was a token and something wrapped in oilpaper that was found from Yuan Hai's body, and of course, the short sword that both injured himself and saved himself.
Taoyuan Village is a simple villager, and Yue Fan is not easy to show weapons in front of people, so he has to collect them. The short sword was sharp and tough, and there was no break on the cliff, which made him a little surprised.
Yue Fan picked up the short sword and put it in his hand and looked at it carefully. This sword is about a foot long, two fingers wide, and dark black, and I don't know what ore it was forged from.
"Huh!" Yue Fan touched the root of the sword with his hand, but there were concave and convex symbols. Carefully recognized, it was two ancient words - "fish intestines".
"Is it actually it!?" Yue Fan exclaimed, secretly smiling bitterly, I don't know if it was his luck or bad luck, he almost died under this ancient famous sword.
......
The three books were casually flipped through by Yue Fan and put aside, and then picked up the token.
The token is the size of a palm and is made of cold iron. It is bronzed in color and has an eerie appearance, resembling the shape of an animal. The word slender elder is engraved on one side, and the word red bloody clothes is engraved on the other. I think this is the identity token of the Bloody Clothes Gate.
Yue Fan put down the token after playing with it twice in his hand, and then picked up the oiled paper bag on the side, opened it and saw that it was a dilapidated ancient book.
Yue Fan stroked the broken cover, and vaguely discerned the four oblique cursive characters "Wind Soaring". Carefully turning the pages of the book, it is all about the use of light exercises......
"Such a weird move, he can keep changing direction in the air, no wonder he almost fell into the hands of that killer. After reading it in one go, Yue Fan breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally knew that Yuan Hai's move that almost killed him at the beginning came from it.
These light exercises are not driven by internal forces, but by the body's control of the muscles. The stronger the body's control over the muscles, the more it changes direction in the air. For example, the killer Yuan Hai, after all, he is not a person who cultivates external skills, so he can only turn back twice in the air.
At this point, Yue Fan is confident that he will not do worse than others, and the "Dragon Pole Nine Changes" that should be cultivated for him is already close to the realm of "forging bones" Mahayana, that is, in the rivers and lakes, close to the super-first-class foreign masters.
"Anyway, I can't calm down and cultivate now, it's better to study this book, maybe I can control the enemy by surprise in the future......" Yue Fan had nothing to do, so he simply held the ancient book and studied it carefully.
"Walking against the wind, restrained as empty, body like a light swallow, flashing in the clouds. The force gathers in the heart, and then disperses into the whole body, and the direction is different depending on the severity......"
......
"Tick-tock-tock-"
Outside the cave, the water drops and stones chirped, and the heavy rain had stopped.
Although the law in "Wind and Flash" is jerky and difficult to understand, after more than an hour of careful study by Yue Fan, he finally has a certain understanding.
Back then, after Yuan Haixi got this book, it took several days to get a glimpse of the mysteries. But Yue Fan only studied this book for a few hours, and he had a certain understanding...... I have to say that there is still a big difference between people! Seeing that after Yue Fan realized the "Heavenly Dao Realm", the benefits brought to him were really immeasurable!
"This method is really mysterious! It just so happens that the vitality in the body is not good now, so it is better to control the training power. Seeing that the rain outside the cave stopped, Yue Fan immediately got up and walked outside, with this martial art, he couldn't wait to try his skills.
......
In the woods, a figure jumped up and down, changing direction in the air like a bird. If ordinary people see this scene, I am afraid that there will be another story of the ghost forest in the world.
"Five downs...... Or can you only change direction five times...... It seems that this is my limit. Stopping, Yue Fan gasped and muttered to himself. Somewhat frustrated, this was his twenty-fifth attempt.
Originally, Yue Fan thought that he could change the direction at least ten times in the air, but after trying, he realized that the control of muscle strength was not as simple as imagined, and compared with the explosive power of "Breaking Strength", this kind of kung fu paid more attention to the coordination of various parts of the body.
At first, Yue Fan could only barely fold twice in the air before falling to the ground, but after many attempts, he was finally able to change direction in the air five times. It's just that five times in the air is already his limit, and no matter how hard he tries in the end, he can't continue.
"I've worked hard, I can try again in the future, it's important to hurry first!" Yue Fan packed up his mood and walked towards the small cave.
Further ahead is Jingyang Town, Yue Fan walked forward according to the route pointed out by the villagers of Taoyuan Village.
......
ββββββββββββ Jingyang Town, surrounded by mountains, belongs to the west of the coast. The terrain itself is difficult to navigate, the location is relatively remote, and the annual tax is too heavy, so that the already resource-poor town cannot live a rich life at all.
Fortunately, the environment here is good, and every family can be self-sufficient to take care of food and clothing. And it's far from the war. Therefore, compared to the troubled times, this town is much calmer and more harmonious.
Today, however, this quiet town has become lively.
I saw that in the middle of the street at the north gate of the town, a large group of ordinary people were densely surrounded, they hugged each other in groups full of attention, and even the people who came after them stretched out their heads to look at the crowd. At a glance, it was two Taoist priests, one old and one young, who said here.
The wrinkles of the old man's two white beards are prominent, but he is full of energy in his fifties, and he is dressed in a cyan robe, which looks like a master. The little Taoist priest standing on the side was slightly immature, his face was ruddy, his eyebrows were delicate, and his golden boy appearance was praised.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerableβ"
β......β
When the people quieted down, Lao Dao straightened his face, and said: "Poor Dao is the nineteenth generation of Longhu Mountain, the road number is 'no ring', and the ancestor is 'Dao Immortal' Zhang Daoling." If there will be chaos today, there will be demons in troubled times, so we will uphold the heart of heaven and go down the mountain to help the world......
Today, Poor Dao and his disciple Fang Han passed by here, and saw that this town is not very popular, and the yin qi is breeding, and there must be a ghost that will not go away! Otherwise, at the end of this year, when it is extremely cloudy, it will be the day of the limit of this town. When the time comes, corpses will be strewn all over the field, and no ...... will be left for people and animals."
"Wow-"
The eerie tone of the unquit caused an uproar among the people around him, and they looked nervous and unbelieving.
"What? No, are you mistaken?!"
"Yes, our town has always been safe, and nothing has happened. β
"That's it, Taoist priests, don't talk nonsense!"
"Yes, yes, what kind of ghosts are there?"
......
"Everyone is ......quiet!" a crisp voice shouted, interrupting everyone's uproar: "My master is a descendant of Longhu Mountain, because he adheres to the heart of heaven and goes down to the mountain to help the world, how can he deceive you ordinary people!? Originally, we were kind-hearted, hoping to make good karma and accumulate more merits to prove the consummation, but you ...... But you are so ignorant...... In that case, let's leave. But...... I hope you survive this year...... Hmph!"
The person who spoke was the little Taoist priest beside him, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and his face was angry, as if he had suffered a great grievance. As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the master out of the crowd and wanted to leave......
"Alas-" Buqi sighed, shook his head and said regretfully: "I have mercy in my heart, but I don't want others to dislike it." Since you despise the poor road so much, then the poor road will not be cheeky to stay, but to leave, just ...... Alas, don't say it, don't say it...... Let's go!"
Bu Qu such a compassionate expression made everyone look uncertain. When he saw that the two of them were leaving, he did not get out of the way.
"Why are you doing this? Do you still want to force me to wait?" said the little Taoist priest with indignation.
......
"Wait!"
There was a sudden shout behind him, and an old voice called out to the two of them: "Don't go, two Taoist masters, don't go, don't go, ......."
"Sir!"
"It's the old man here!"
The crowd consciously stood on both sides......
At this moment, an elderly man staggered with crutches and the support of others.
The person who came was the oldest man in the town, because he had been an official, so the people in the town respectfully called him "the boss". Here, his prestige is even higher than that of the county magistrate.
A smile flashed in Bujie's eyes, and he turned to the old man and said, "What advice does this old gentleman have?" β
The old man arched his back and saluted back, and said weakly: "Dao Chief...... Yes...... Polite...... The people here ...... I haven't seen much of the world...... How much...... Somewhat ignorant...... Still...... I hope the Taoist chief won't be surprised!"
"Where, where! How can we cultivators have so much anger. Bujie chuckled.
The old man nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Thank you for the length and width...... The old man wants to ...... I want to ask the Dao Chief, how did you know that there are Yin Spirits in this town?"
Bu Quan stroked his two white beards, looked at the four directions and said: "The poor road passes through this place, and the yin qi in the four places of this town does not disperse, presumably this place has unjustly killed people, right? It is precisely because of this that there is no popularity here, and it cannot prosper." β
Fang Han on the side smiled secretly: "Nonsense! No one has died in this world! Whether you are wronged or not is not said by mouth." The master asked questions...... Uh, it's really level!"
"Nonsense!" said a woman disdainfully: "Everyone knows that we have been safe and sound here for many years, where can there be people who die unjustly?
"Yes, yes......" the crowd also replied.
In the face of other people's objections, he didn't care, but looked like he was in his chest.
"Shut up! cough...... Cough...... Taoist ...... He's right......"
"Uh!" everyone was stunned, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
When everyone stopped the noise, the old man spoke: "More than twenty years ago, when I was still a county magistrate...... Our ...... in Jingyang Town Indeed, there are people who have died for unknown reasons. β
"Ahh
"I thought I was so old that my memory was bad. Can...... But you're not even as good as me, aren't you...... You have forgotten the deserted mansion......" The old man's face turned a little pale, and he shook his head and said, "...... Remember more than twenty years ago...... There was a large family in the courtyard of Zhennan Street, with more than 20 people overnight...... All of them died...... Don't ask anything else......"
"Ahh
"Yes. β
"......" everyone was speechless, and the quiet atmosphere made the surroundings extremely depressing.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable-" He said: "The poor road does not speak, only because he has learned the art of reaching the sky, he has the ability to have this heavenly eye." If you don't believe me, you can give it a try. β
"Oh?!How do you try?"
"It's coming!" Fang Han sighed secretly: "Master's trick is really unpleasant!"
"Cough!" Without quitting a dry cough, Ka Zhi counted for a while, and said to the woman just now: "This benefactor has hemorrhoids on the corners of his eyebrows, sweeps away the stars, and his ears are thick and his lips are thin, and the heavenly court is flat, which is the image of Kefu...... I wanted to marry three times and didn't obey, and I have been widowed for many years. β
"You ......"
The woman turned to a man again, looked at it for a while, shook her head and said, "This benefactor, with a broad face and a sharp nose, thin eyebrows, and a downward curve of the corners of his eyes, must be the ...... parents in the early years of the family."
"This donor ......"
β......β
Bujie criticized the four people in a row, and all of them were in the middle of what they said, and everyone couldn't help but believe it, and their faces were suddenly full of respect.
Unsuspecting in his heart, he continued: "Although this town is calm and quiet now, if the ghosts here do not stop for a day, you will suffer for a day. After a while, yin qi will enter the body, and at least it will be painful to be sick, and at worst it will be difficult to worry about your life! I dare to assert that if this continues, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive this year!"
"Ahh
"yes! What should we do?"
"Dao Chief, help us!"
"yes, yes!"
......
Everyone panicked, and the old man was even more excited: "Dao Chief...... You are so capable, you can ...... You have to save our town!"
At this moment, there was no doubt in everyone's hearts.
Bujie smiled slightly: "As a descendant of Longhu Mountain, Poor Dao is a descendant of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and it is his responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the Dao. The responsibility lies in, and it is naturally incumbent on him!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, ......"
"Dao Leader True Bodhisattva Turns ......"
"The Tao is gracious and virtuous, we will remember it in our hearts......"
......
The sky is dark, the lights in Jingyang Town are bright, and from a distance, it looks like a twinkling star in the dark night.
There was a strong smell of dampness in the air, and it seemed like it was going to rain again. In such bad weather, the streets are much deserted at night.
At the end of North Street, in a dark alley, the two of them were rubbing something!
"Master, haven't all the people here seen the world...... I really didn't expect them to be so easy to deceive. Just flickered a few words, and they really believed it, and obediently sent us something...... Haha-"
"Hehe, hey, we spent half a day inquiring about the news, and we were so well prepared, of course, we could confuse the truth with the false. β
"Of course...... But I feel uncomfortable that we deceive these people like this......" As he spoke, his tone was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, don't worry, we just took some food, and it's not about making money and killing people, how can it be considered excessive, isn't it?
"That's ......"
"Okay, okay, it's not good that we won't lie to the people in the future...... It was dark and humid, and it looked like it was about to rain...... Let's find a place to shelter from the rain first, and by the way, we will sum up the next things. β
"Okay, good, I'm hungry, let's go ......."
The voice faded and the people left......
It turns out that there is a profession in this world called a liar. It's just that people who are often cheated usually feel at ease because they paid.
......
ββββββββββββ along the way, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, Yue Fan still covered his white hair with a shabby coat and hat.
It was late at night, lightning and thunder were thundering in the sky, and after a while, heavy rain poured down again. He had to stay in a deserted house in the town. Thinking of the large amount of silver tickets on his body, but he could only live in this kind of place, Yue Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
But then again, being a killer is really a very money-seeking profession. After Yue Fan searched all the way, he now has tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets in his hand. The first time he got so many silver tickets, Yue Fan was a little overwhelmed!
Touching the small stone on his neck, Yue Fan's heart was slightly wide.
It was the "Dan Heart Stone" given to him by his father Li Tan, and whenever Yue Fan missed it in his heart, he couldn't help but pinch this quick and intimate stone.
Hooking the firewood in front of him at will, Yue Fan's thoughts had flown thousands of miles away.
......
ββββββββββββ "Whoa-whoa-whoa-"
Outside Taoyuan Village, a large group of masked people lurked quietly around, allowing them to soak in the heavy rain.
Their eyes were sharp, like fierce wolves, staring straight at the lights of the village.
"Kill!"
With an order, all the masked men rushed forward. When they broke into the village, dozens of people dispersed in an orderly manner and threw themselves into the farming households.
......
Outside the hut, a man is behind a pergola...... In a daze, he felt a gust of cold wind behind him, and just as he turned his head to look, a white light flashed and slashed his neck. The whole person slowly fell to the ground like this, and he couldn't even make the last sound.
......
Killing, quiet killing. Except for the falling rain, almost no sound can be heard, including barking dogs.
Such a scene appears in this peach blossom paradise in the countryside, and it is extremely weird.
......
"How?"
All but one of the missing children were killed. β
"Search again, don't leave any clues. Spread the news afterwards......"
"Yes!"
......
The sky is easy to get old and tears are endless, if there is love, white hair is thick.
Life, in the eyes of God, may only be a proof of time.
......
ββββββββββββ
