Chen Mengsheng asked: "Then what happened when Zangji came back? Why are you two brothers so hesitant and unwilling to say anything?"
Zang Da timidly said: "Two uncles, it's not because we brothers don't want to tell you, it's actually because Zang Laosan was no longer a human when he returned to Hulu Town! He... all the skin on his body was covered with strange fish.
Most of his body was peeled off, and he fainted on the riverside beach with blood all over him. It was our brothers who carried him home. But the boy was really tough. After lying in bed for several days, he was able to walk around.
"
Zangda took a breath and continued, "But not long after we came here, that is, in the middle of the night when the strange fish was sunburned to death and the whole town ate its meat, we all heard the screams of the blacksmith in the town! Wait for us in the town
When the people inside rushed to the blacksmith's house, they saw his whole family hanged on the beams in the house. Zang Laosan invited the Feng Shui master in the town to come, but the Feng Shui master said it was
We killed the spirit fish, and the Dragon King made a curse to kill all the surnames in the town."
Xiang Xiaotian scolded: "Can Mr. Feng Shui's words be believed? Those are all lies and nonsense, and they will defraud people of their money."
Zang Gui said awkwardly: "The Feng Shui master said that within a few days, everyone in our town had this thing on their faces. We went to the Feng Shui master to find a solution, but unexpectedly he had died at home, and the whole family of five
They all died after their tongues were pulled out. Zang Lao San is from the White Lotus Sect and can be considered a half-cultivation person. People in the town went to ask Zang Lao San for advice, but they didn’t expect Zang Lao San..."
"Alas, Mr. Zang died too. The one who died was so miserable. His whole body was cut with knives, and not a single good piece of flesh was left. Later, our brothers and the people in the town buried him. From then on, there were many disasters in Hulu Town.
That crazy aunt often came to Zang Laosan’s house by the river and scolded him for being a pest.” After Zangda finished speaking, he seemed to have grown much older all of a sudden, and with the help of Zanggui, he returned to his house.
.Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian did not stop them, and each sighed at the strange things in Hulu Town.
Xiang Xiaotian looked back at Zang Ji's house and said, "People are dead and still get a bad name. It's really unfair!"
Chen Mengsheng patted Xiang Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "Brother, let's go. We still have to get some food back for the people in the house. Junior sisters have dark spots on their faces now and it's inconvenient for them to walk."
"Well, people in this damn place who beat gongs and drums all night long don't have the energy to go down to the ground. Fortunately, there are enough fresh fish in the river and no one will starve to death. Once the curse in the town is broken, we will leave immediately
…”
When dusk fell in Hulu Town, it was perhaps the quietest time in the town. After a group of people finished their meal in Zangji's room, Chen Mengsheng suddenly asked: "Junior sister, do you know about the White Lotus Sect?"
Shangguan Yanran was surprised: "Brother, why did you suddenly think of this? I heard my father mentioned that there was such a sect. It was a branch of Buddhism founded by Mao Ziyuan during the third year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in Shaoxing. But the White Lotus Sect is very mysterious.
, I don’t know the pope.”
Xiang Xiaotian took a sip of tea and said: "Brother, do you care what sect he does? Now we should take a good rest before beating the gongs and drums, so as to have enough energy to wait for the resentment to come again.
It’s time to take care of him!”
Shangguan Yanran and the other ladies found it hard to fall asleep after the fright last night. They were talking to each other in the inner room. Ever since Qi Ying was rescued by Xiang Xiaotian in the cabin, there was always something that she couldn't explain to him.
I have an unclear feeling, but when I think about the ugly black spots on my face now, I no longer dare to have any extravagant expectations about my emotions.
Shangguan Yanran smiled at her and said: "Sister Xianglan, don't worry. If my senior brother can't break the curse in this town, then it will be difficult to find someone with such great ability in the world. Brother Xiang, if he dislikes you
The... on his face, I will definitely not let him go." Shangguan Yanran told Qi Ying how she met Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian one by one. Qi Ying heard that Shangguan Yanran used Ci Ma in Pingyang Mansion.
Xiang Xiaotian couldn't help but smile when the cake burned his tongue. The moods of Lihua and the two little girls lying on the bed were completely different at this moment. They recalled that when the third son of the Li family put a knife on his neck, it was Chen Mengsheng who used it.
His back blocked the long sword in Li Bao's hand for him. If it were Yao Rengui, he definitely wouldn't have that ability. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel sad. The two little girls escaped from the clutches of the Li family. It felt like
It's a freedom I've never experienced before, and nothing else matters...
Yao Rengui was already asleep in a daze on the floor of the outhouse. Xiang Xiaotian was whittling a long arrow with Chen Mengsheng's magic ruler. Although there was no ebony for the arrow shaft, he found some old moso bamboo and passed it through boiling water.
The hardness is still much worse after cooking, but it is better than nothing. Chen Mengsheng sat under the lamp and looked through the book of life and death for more than an hour. Among the many people who died in Hulu Town, there was not a single one.
The soul is left behind.
Chen Mengsheng rubbed his eyes and put away the book of life and death. He suddenly felt that breaking the curse of the gourd was a bit tricky. The sky was about to get up, so he could only wait until the resentment came again to kill him. Xiang Xiaotian finished cutting seven or eight pieces.
Changjian returned the Demon-Conquering Ruler in his hand to Chen Mengsheng and said strangely: "Brother, why haven't you heard any commotion in the town today?"
Chen Mengsheng also looked at the window for a while and felt surprised and said: "Yes, the scene last night has already started to have the sound of drums. Could it be that something unexpected happened tonight?"
"Brother, I think it's better to do this. I'll stay here and take care of them. You go to the town and take a look. If nothing happens, just kill him if that resentment causes trouble again!" Xiang Xiaotian
Holding the Overlord's Bow in one hand, he said bitterly.
Chen Mengsheng nodded, and when he went out to draw an exorcism spell in front of the house, he was surprised to find that many people had gathered in front of Zangda Zanggui's house by the river in the morning. He didn't know what happened. He walked quickly out.
They saw that Zang Jiu was leading a group of people arguing with the two brothers of the Zang family. Xiao Qingzi, who was playing the drum, was standing in the crowd with a sad face. Everyone saw Chen Mengsheng and kept silent.
"Uncle Zangjiu, what are you doing?" Chen Mengsheng asked in confusion.
Zang Jiu sighed and said: "Oh! My blind sister is missing. Xiao Qingzi came to my house just after dark and said that his mother was missing. We searched every corner of Hulu Town but found nothing.
I heard from Xiao Qingzi that my sister was scolded by two brothers from the Zang family during the day today, so I brought some clan members to ask them if they had ever seen my sister. I didn’t expect that these two bastards would scold me when they opened their mouths, which made people feel sad.
angry."
Zang Da hurriedly argued: "Uncle Jiu, we respect you as the clan leader because you are older, but you can't be such a bully. We scolded your sister today, but she came to slander Zang Ji. Uncle Jiu
You are also a decent person, Zang Laosan has been dead for so long, there is no need to treat him like this even if you made a big mistake."
"My sister was born blind. Why do you think you are just like her? There are only so many places in Hulu Town. I came here to ask you after I searched all over and couldn't find any solution."
Zang Gui said angrily: "Uncle Jiu, who do you think your brother is? If we really had a plan with that crazy aunt, we would have been rude to her earlier. Xiao Qingzi, you are also a nephew in this town. If you didn't see your father cheating on you, you would be blamed."
For the sake of killing the fish, will the people in this town help you mother and son? Did you see our brothers kidnapped your mother? You red-mouthed white-toothed one, tell me clearly here, don’t let your mother disappear.
It seems like our brothers did something. We brothers have wives and children, how do you want them to meet people in the town?"
Xiao Qingzi stammered: "Uncle Da..., Uncle Gui..., although my mother is blind, she is not crazy. I... I took a nap after lunch today, and when I woke up, my mother was gone.
So I had to find Uncle Jiu."
Behind the brothers Zangda and Zanggui stood two women and several children. When a woman wanted to speak, Zangda shouted back and cursed: "Go, go, what's wrong with you girls? You and your sister-in-law
, please go home with me and don't cause trouble here." The two women took the children and retreated into the house without saying a word. Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a sudden burst of hurried shouts came from Hulu Town.
The sound of the drums is getting louder and louder and more urgent.
Zang Jiu shouted: "No, something happened again. Don't be stunned, everyone, go and see what's going on..." Chen Mengsheng followed everyone to the center of the town. The iron cage in the center of the town was already surrounded by people.
Nearly a hundred people gathered. Zang Jiu pushed through the crowd and saw his blind sister sitting in an iron cage. Behind her was a big jar, and a bright red lantern was lit in the iron cage.
The unlocked iron cage was now padlocked inside. The blind woman seemed completely unable to hear the loud beating of drums outside, and was minding her own business combing her hair inside with a comb.
"Sister, sister, come out quickly and open the lock for me!"
"Mom, mother..., I am Xiao Qingzi. Why are you here? I will take you home." Xiao Qingzi's heartbreaking scream did not arouse the blind woman's reaction at all. Chen Mengsheng how could
Every time I tried to get up there, I was squeezed out of the wall by the people from Hulu Town.
"Stop making noises, my sister is talking. Shut up and be quiet!" Zang Jiu shouted, and everyone shut up and stopped playing the drums in their hands. They listened with bated breath as their hair was being combed in the iron cage.
The blind woman spoke.
There was a smile on the face of the blind woman, and she stretched out a hand towards the empty iron cage next to her and stroked the red lantern. In the beating light of the fire, the red lantern looked like a human head hanging in the air, exuding a strange feeling.
The light was bright. He said in his mouth: "Qingzi's father, you have lost weight again. It's really hard for you to go fishing every day to support us and my mother. Come here, I'll give you a drink." The blind woman got up and picked up the
The big jar was poured carelessly towards him.
"Get out of the way, it's kerosene." Chen Mengsheng shouted, leaping up, holding the magic ruler and slashing straight towards the iron cage.
"Boom!" Before Chen Mengsheng could split the iron cage, the kerosene exploded as soon as it hit the lantern's candlelight. The blind woman's head was shattered by the explosion, and the fireballs flew towards the crowd. Chen Mengsheng's chest was shattered.
The broken bones and flesh and the fragments of the jar were blasted back ten feet away. Fortunately, they were protected by the armor and were not injured. The crowd was in chaos, and screams and cries resounded through the sky...
