Chapter 62 The Truth
Tu Yangxing said dissatisfied: "Why should we listen to you? You should stop talking. I, Brother Murong and Brother Qian will find a way, just follow." Tang Yue ignored him and said directly to the others, "We are going to do something to change the development process and see what happens to this secret realm."
Senior Brother Qian nodded, "That makes sense." Just like the others They followed Tang Yue together.
Tu Yangxing was in disbelief, "You actually listened to her?"
Murong Hai put his arm around his shoulders, "Let's go, you can go to the village chief's house to see us, we're here." "
After he said this, Tu Yangxing mumbled and could only go with them. If he found nothing after a while, he would have to talk to Murong Hai and Qian Wangduo about how they could do it. What about listening to a child? Still a girl.
The village is not big, and they quickly arrived at the village chief's small office building, where his family also lived. Hu San from behind called another monk and followed them from a distance.
When he arrived at the village chief's house, Brother Qian knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was the village chief's mother. She looked at the group of people, including men, women, and children aged eleven or twelve, with confusion.
Monks like them have appeared in their village for some time inexplicably and have not left, as if they are looking for something. Is there a treasure in the village?
But they are ordinary people, and they dare not drive away these immortal masters. Fortunately, they will give some benefits to the villagers, and they will make a small fortune.
"What's the matter with the immortal masters?"
"Auntie, we do have something that we can't talk about outside. Can you let us in?"
The village chief's mother is a little worried. I wonder why these people come to my home in the middle of the night?
At this time the village chief came out, a middle-aged man in his forties, "Why are you immortal masters here late at night? Come in and sit down."
He motioned to his mother to come from The door opened to allow these immortal masters to come in, with a look on their faces that was blaming their mother for their neglect.
Tang Yue and his party came in, and the village chief shouted to the inner room: "Xinghua, come out quickly and pour tea."
Senior Brother Qian stopped him, "No need, we are here to One thing, we want to know what you are hiding in the basement."
The expressions of the village chief and his mother changed and they hurriedly denied, "There is nothing in our cellar, just some unsightly things. It’s just sundries.”
Hu San and others outside the door thought: Sure enough, these famous disciples want to steal the treasure behind their backs. He broke into the house anxiously
"Who are you? What are you going to do?" The village chief was very frightened when he saw that many people had rushed into his home. It reminded him of the murder and robbery in the village last month. robber.
The following monks looked around, saw the stairs, and rushed there.
Tang Yue said: "We can't let them kill Hanbao."
Senior Brother Qian and Murong Hai rushed over while she was speaking. The first monk to go down shouted: "What kind of monster is this."
After he finished shouting, Brother Qian had already pushed him away, went up to tie Hanbao with the immortal rope, and cut off the iron chain.
The mother stumbled downstairs, "Here is my sick little son. He is not a monster."
Hu San looked at the monster Qian Wangduo had caught. Frowning, he said: "How could you grow such a tail when you are sick? He is obviously a monster."
The village chief's mother shook her head repeatedly, "He is not a monster, he is my son, but he was born with a strange disease." Sick."
The village chief also went downstairs, "Mother, I told you before that you couldn't hide the monster downstairs. You should kill him. Now you have offended the immortal master. "
The village chief's mother beat him, "He is not a monster, he is your brother."
The village chief sneered, "How could my brother kill his father? I don't understand why you want to." Keep raising this monster”
Hearing her son mention this, the village chief's mother collapsed on the ground, "I didn't give birth to a monster, I didn't! I have always adhered to women's ways, how could God punish me?"
Tang Yue sighed and walked to The village chief's mother stood beside him and helped him up. "It's not your fault. You hit the big Yin thing when you were pregnant."
"Let's go up. There are too many people here and the cellar is too crowded. "
After she finished speaking, she went upstairs. Ruan Ying and Duan Yitang followed her up. They also couldn't stand so many people crowded together.
Senior Brother Qian also pulled Hanba upstairs, and the others had no choice but to follow.
The village chief glanced at the old mother on the ground with disgust, but still helped his mother, whose legs were a little weak, to go upstairs.
After she went upstairs, she hurriedly asked Tang Yue: "What happened to the collision with the Yin thing? I have never been to any strange places."
After she said this After speaking, he was stunned for a moment and turned pale, "No, when I was pregnant with my third son, I seemed to have met the ghost of my sister by the small lake. She said that she was so wronged and would never rest in peace."
The village chief scolded: "Nonsense, your sister was unclean during her lifetime. After the sacrifice, she was purified. She should have passed away clean now. How can there be injustice?"
Tang Yue asked with a frown. : "I would like to ask if your village has the practice of sinking women who have lost their virginity into the pond." The village chief didn't know why they were curious about the village's old rules. "Yes, it is very bad luck for a woman who has lost her virginity. She needs to be buried in the pond." To appease the anger of God, forgive their crimes, and allow them to be reincarnated with a clean identity.”
"Otherwise, God will bring disasters to the village and punish all the people in the village."
Ruan Ying couldn't help but say, "Nonsense, heaven has no rules for such nonsense."
The village chief's expression changed. This has always been their belief. This is how they have dealt with women who have lost their virginity for hundreds of years. Why did the immortal say they were talking nonsense?
"This is a rule handed down from our ancestors. There can be no mistakes." The village chief looked persistent. Their ancestors must have their own reasons for setting such a rule.
Tang Yue felt unhappy. She had seen such bad habits in the village chronicles, and now she just wanted to confirm again, "You all killed these women in the lake outside the village?"
"The sacrifice is performed at the lake outside the village. If there is a woman who has lost her virginity, we will perform a ceremony on the ninth day of the lunar month to punish the woman who has lost her virginity."
The village woman mentioned during the day that today is the third day of the lunar month. , these women will be drowned in six days.
The village chief mentioned again, "Recently, for some unknown reason, there is no water in the village's wells, and there is less water in the lake outside the village. We feel that the village has provoked robbers, causing too many women to lose their virginity. , angered God, so the punishment was handed down so quickly this time, before we had time to wait until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year."
Hu San vaguely felt that the things about the robbers in the village and the women by the lake sounded familiar. But after he came here, he only summoned monks in the village to investigate the village, and did not encounter any of these things.
Tang Yue said directly to him, "It's not because of those women. Your brother was born with drought. Now he has grown up and has the power to make the world drought."
The village chief's face suddenly changed, he knew this The monster is a scourge, what should the villagers do if they find out? Maybe they will attack his family.
He raised his head and glanced hard at his mother. The old man shrank when he saw the look in his eyes.
The village chief handed over his hand, "In that case, please help me kill this monster. I have tried to kill it many times myself, but I can't kill it. The wound will heal soon."
The tied up Hanba seemed to understand his words and hurriedly curled up, hoping to avoid something.
Seeing this, Tang Yue sighed, "Now that I know that there is no water in the well, it's because of your brother, why do you still want those women to soak in the pig cage?"
The village chief replied : "This is a rule passed down by the ancestors of this village. I hope that the immortal masters will not stop us from abiding by the ancestral precepts."
"Okay, then I will tell you that the great Yin thing that hit your mother is probably The resentment of the women who died in the lake in vain for six hundred years, and the drought demons your mother gave birth to are the revenge of their evil spirits on this village."
She said this to the village chief expressionlessly. After saying this, Senior Brother Qian suddenly realized, "In this way, everything is connected. No wonder Hanbao also has the ability to attract sandstorms. They killed innocent women again, and their resentment accumulated to the peak, which was born from their Yin Qi. The Hanba mutated and became stronger."
The village chief looked in disbelief, "Those women were obviously purified and passed away, how could they become innocent souls?"
< br>
Chi He smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, let us take you to see the wronged soul in person."
Tang Yue glanced at Chi He and nodded, "Okay, maybe this is a turning point. ”
Tall and straight, Murong Hai lifted the village chief with one hand and prepared to go out.
The village chief's mother was worried, "What are you doing? You have arrested my youngest son, and you are going to arrest my eldest son. Put him down quickly."
Tang Yue went out directly, Senior Brother Qian They also followed out. Tu Yangxing looked confused, "Why do you seem to know what this is about?" But he also followed out.
Hu San didn't know what the famous monks like Qian Wangduo were going to do, so he followed him and sent a letter to his men, asking them to rush over and take care of them when they grabbed things.
They were walking in front, while the village chief’s mother and the village chief’s wife Xinghua were crying behind them, “The immortal master killed someone, come and see if there is any justice!”
The villagers heard Hearing the howl of the village chief's mother, some hurriedly closed their doors and windows to avoid the disaster. Some brave people who were friends with the village chief came out: "Isn't the immortal master trying to do good deeds and accumulate virtue? Why would he attack innocent people like us? Heaven will punish you."
Tang Yue said to them : "You are not innocent. If you don't believe it, you can come and see with us. Don't worry, we won't kill you."
These villagers were confused. What did they do? But the immortal master said not to kill them, so some people followed him.
When the villagers saw someone following them, they thought there was strength in numbers, so more and more villagers followed them to the lake.
After the monks and villagers almost gathered at the lake, Tang Yue asked Murong Hai: "Brother Murong, please use your family's secret spying skills so that these mortals can see the innocent souls in the lake."< br>
The monks have already seen the wronged soul of the woman in the lake, and their scalps are numb. Hu San looked at these wrongdoers, and his expression suddenly changed. He remembered that when he first came to this village, he was not investigating the village.
