Chapter 178 Journey back home (3)
After collecting Yun Xi's money, the store owner continued to look at the door. After confirming that no one was there, he moved a stool to sit next to Yun Xi and whispered:
"This matter has to start a month and a half ago."
"A month and a half ago, there was a man named Li Yong in the city. His father died."
"His father passed away due to illness. This is not a rare thing, but who would have thought that on the third day after his father's death, Li Yong suddenly heard a call while going up the mountain to cut firewood."
"The voice calling him was very familiar, and he subconsciously turned his head to look. Guess who he saw?"
Qingchan asked tentatively: "Is...is he his father?"
The shop owner slapped his thigh and said with emotion: "That's right! The person calling him is actually his dead father!"
Qingchan was startled by the fussy tone of the store. She immediately stood up and ran to Yun Xi's side. She sat down next to her, stretched out her hand through Yun Xi's arm, and leaned against her tightly.
Even though she was already a warrior, she still felt scared when she heard such strange things.
The store owner looked at Qingchan's actions and looked at Yun Xi with questioning eyes. Yun Xi said: "It's okay, just keep talking."
The store owner continued: "Li Yong was shocked when he saw his dead father. He quickly dropped his things and ran back to the town. He went to the government to report that he had hit a ghost."
"But the people in the government didn't believe it at all. How could there be a ghost in Tianling Continent in broad daylight? So the people in the government thought he was reporting a false case. Not only did they not help him, they also beat him up and drove him out of the government. .”
Xuanxuan said angrily: "The people in this government are so disgusting!"
The store owner quickly raised a finger to signal silence and said, "Girl, don't say this nonsense."
Xuanxuan curled her lips, but in order to continue listening, she did not speak again.
Seeing that Xuanxuan stopped talking, the store owner continued talking.
"After Li Yong was beaten up by the officials, he calmed down. After going home and thinking about it, he felt that he might have missed his father too much and was hallucinating. However, that night, when Li Yong was sleeping at home, he once again I heard someone calling him!”
The store owner has a talent for telling stories, and when his demeanor and tone match up, it creates a somewhat spooky atmosphere.
Even Xuanxuan sounded a little creepy.
"This time, Li Yong opened his eyes in the middle of the night..."
The store owner paused deliberately, and then his voice deepened: "When I saw his dead father, he was standing beside his bedside, looking down at him!"
"ah!"
Qingchan screamed and moved her head directly into Yun Xi's arms. Her delicate body shivered like a newborn puppy, trembling.
Yun Xi hugged her with a smile, touched her head, and raised her chin slightly to signal the store owner not to stop.
Perhaps it was because seeing Qingchan's frightened appearance gave the store owner a sense of accomplishment. He still spoke in a gloomy tone: "It was dark at night, and Li Yong didn't see his father's whole face clearly, but from the figure's Judging from the size, it is definitely his father! This time, Li Yong not only heard his father calling him, but also heard his father say other things."
"Anything else?"
Yun Xi became curious: "What are you talking about?"
The shopkeeper said: "It seems that he is forcing him to marry and have children. You probably don't know that Li Yong is now over forty and is still an old bachelor! His father's biggest wish before he left was to be able to hold him in his arms. grandson."
"Li Yong experienced such an incident in the middle of the night and was so frightened that he fainted. The next morning, he couldn't bear it anymore and called several companions to run to the tomb in the back mountain to prepare to dig up his father's tomb. check it out."
"Ha! Guess what?"
The shopkeeper picked up the kettle on the table next to him, made a glass of water, and poured it into his mouth.
"His father's tomb... had been opened a long time ago, and there was no body inside at all! Now everyone finally knew that Li Yong was not lying, and they were all shocked."
"For several days in a row, Li Yong could see his father at various times. Over the next few days, others became a little crazy. Until later, a Taoist priest came."
Speaking of the Taoist priest, the store owner trembled: "The Taoist priest claimed to be from the Xingyue Sect and could help Li Yong solve this problem, but in return, Li Yong must spend all his family wealth and contribute to the growth of the Xingyue Sect. Share your own strength.”
"Li Yong was about to die at that time, so he didn't care about the money, so he agreed without hesitation. So the Taoist priest gave Li Yong a paper stick, and the result was amazing! From that day on, Li Yong continued to He was no longer harassed by his father’s ghost. When we went to the graveyard, we found that his father’s tomb had been filled in again. I guess the body had also gone back!”
The store owner sighed: "Since then, the reputation of the Xingyue Sect has spread in Fang Yue City. This Xingyue Sect is a foreign sect, but because of this, the Xingyue Ancestral Temple was opened in Dafangshan Mountain in the city. "
"Because of its reputation, many people in the city would go to the Xingyue Sect to offer incense. It is said that the statue of the leader there is very efficacious, and whatever you ask for will come to you. Then Li Yong later went to the Xingyue Ancestral Hall to ask for a marriage, and unexpectedly he actually got it. He is done!”
"Tsk tsk! An old man in his forties actually married a young wife in her twenties! But he was so stunned! The Xingyue Ancestral Hall is very lively now, and there are endless pilgrims every day. , it is said that many people’s wishes came true.”
"But if it works, it will work, but anyone who dares to arrange something to offend the Xingyue Sect will not end up well."
The shop owner looked a little sad when he said this: "A good brother of mine is like this. His wife suddenly got seriously ill a few days ago. After asking for help from the doctor, he went to the Xingyue Sect for help. Then the Xingyue Sect asked him to bring his wife there. ,result……"
The shopkeeper clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "A man from the Xingyue Sect brought his wife into the room and said she would be treated behind closed doors, but my brother stood outside the door and clearly heard... the sound of his wife being bullied!"
Yun Xi slapped the table and said with a cold face: "This is happening!"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and looked gloomy: "Not only that, my brother was furious at the time, but how could he beat these Xingyue Cultists! So after his wife was sent out, the two of them went to the government to file a complaint, but... the Xingyue Cult insisted They said this was their method of treatment, and his wife was indeed cured, so the government did not punish the Xingyue Sect, but instead gave him a beating for reporting a false case."
"And that night, my brother hanged himself and died, and his wife... also disappeared."
Xuanxuan was scared just now, but now she was very angry. She said angrily: "The government and the Xingyue Sect are obviously working together! Sister Yun, in my opinion, these illnesses and strange phenomena are probably caused by the Xingyue Sect! "
"G-girl! You can't say this! You can't say it!"
Seeing Xuanxuan's indignant look, the store owner quickly stopped her. There were so many people on the street, and if someone from the Xingyue Sect heard her, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Say? Why don't you let them say it?"
Strange voices came from outside the store, and two men walked in from outside the store.
They wore blue robes with a crescent moon embroidered on their chests, and above the crescent moon was a star.
When the store owner saw these two people, his face suddenly turned pale.
The thinner of the two men looked at Yun Xi and the others, his eyes brightening slightly.
Yun Xi and the others have become much more mediocre in appearance after being disguised. However, although their appearance has changed, their figure and temperament remain the same. In a small city like Fang Yuecheng, they can surpass them just by virtue of their figure and temperament. Above many women.
There was a vague lustful light in the thin man's eyes, he looked at Xuanxuan and asked: "Did you scold our Xingyue Sect before?"
Xuanxuan stood up, put her hands on her hips and said, "I scolded you, what's wrong!"
"Tsk! He's still just a little pepper!" The thin man said coldly, "Girl, now come with me to the ancestral hall to offer incense and apologize, and then do some purification and baptism, and you can still save your life. Otherwise, you will be punished by the god of the leader. Come on, you won’t survive tonight!”
Xuanxuan sneered, happy and unafraid: "Then you should ask him to give me divine punishment now!"
The eyes of the two people suddenly darkened: "If you speak rudely, let us take care of you foreign girls on behalf of the leader today!"
When the store owner saw that they were about to take action, he quickly stepped forward and begged: "Don't do it! Don't do it here! They just don't understand the rules. There are a lot of them, please let them go!"
"Get out of my way!"
The thin man slapped the shopkeeper on the face and knocked him away. Then he gathered the spiritual power in his palm and slapped Xuanxuan's chest directly.
Xuanxuan felt nauseated, and without hesitation, she used her spiritual power to meet him.
"Musha?"
The two of them were surprised at first, and then sarcastically said: "It turns out that he is an Earth-level warrior. No wonder he dares to speak arrogant words. It's just a pity that the strength of the Earth-level is not enough in our eyes!"
Both of these two people are warriors in the early stages of Heaven Level.
The two Xingyue Sect disciples attacked from both sides, using the strong to defeat the weak and at the same time using the larger to defeat the smaller.
It's just that they forgot for a moment that there were several companions beside this earth-level warrior.
Two figures jumped up from the wooden bench and rushed directly towards the two Xingyue Sect members. This time, Qingchan kept up with Hongling's pace and struck decisively and quickly. She gathered spiritual power in her palms and struck out directly. He slapped the tall and thin man with his palm.
"There are two more heaven-level warriors?"
The two were shocked and reacted immediately, preparing to switch attacks. However, at the moment they reacted, a black and white formation appeared in their sight.
Qingchan's eyes flashed slightly and she murmured silently.
"Xumi Mind Dharma·Gua Yin and Yang!"
Black and white intertwined in the air, turning into a black and white formation, just like the Tai Chi roulette handed down from ancient times. The moment the two saw the Yin and Yang roulette, they felt a strange power fall on themselves.
The next second, their souls were separated and they lost control of their bodies.
At the moment when their souls briefly emerged, Hongling and Xuanxuan's fists fell on them.
Bang bang! !
The two figures did not fly out, but directly bowed up. Invisible air waves spread out from their backs. The tables and stools around them were lifted up and scattered on the ground in a messy manner.
The moment the two souls returned to their bodies, severe pain swept over them. They lay on the ground, unable to breathe in pain.
The shop owner, who was slapped to the ground, stared at this scene blankly, his mind going blank.
"She, they beat up people from the Xingyue Sect?"
At the dinner table, Yun Xi looked at Qingchan with interest and said, "So this is the effect of Xumi Mind Technique? Soul attack, this is stronger than mental attack."
Ying Nianling also nodded and said: "Qingchan's skills are so powerful."
Yimeng was not sleeping, and also saw the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but said: "You guy, where did you get so many magical skills? The healing like bringing the dead back to life, the extraordinary improvement of the realm, and this direct attack on the soul Ability...what is your identity?"
Yun Xi smiled lightly and responded in the sea of consciousness: "Don't you know my identity? I'm just a reincarnated person who still retains the memories of his previous life."
Yimeng squinted his eyes, knowing that she didn't want to tell him, so he could only shake his tail reluctantly, his heart still shaken by the scene that just happened.
Yun Xi picked up the dishes on the table and put them into her mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, she said to the store owner: "Your dish is not bad, but the heat seems to be a bit off. If the fire can be stronger when frying, the speed of cooking can be improved." It should taste better if it’s faster.”
The store owner pointed at the two people wailing on the ground, then at Qingchan and the others, and stammered: "You...you..."
Yun Xi put down his chopsticks and said with a faint smile: "Didn't I tell you earlier? We are the people sent by the alliance. The strange diseases you call or the souls of the dead are just people from the Xingyue Sect. It’s just an illusion disguised by using spiritual power.”
The store owner still felt unbelievable and asked: "Are you really sent from the Tianling Alliance headquarters?"
"Do I need to lie to you?"
Yun Xi walked to the door of the store and looked outside the store. There was a lot of movement in the store, which attracted the attention of many people. When everyone found that the person lying on the ground was a member of the Xingyue Sect, everyone was full of surprise.
Some pointed at Yun Xi and others in the store and said some bad words, while others left quickly to avoid being affected. Everyone felt that these women with unfamiliar faces... were going to die. .
Yun Xi turned around, kicked the tall and thin man, and asked, "How many people do you have in Xingyue Sect?"
The tall and thin man gradually got used to the pain in his body. He knew that his life and death were in the hands of others, so he did not dare to say anything harsh. He could only endure the pain and honestly confessed: "Three...thirty-four people."
"Are the various strange phenomena in Fang Yue City recently related to your Xingyue Sect?"
The tall and thin man was silent.
call out!
A wooden chopstick flew out of the chopstick bucket on the table next to him, and the slender end stopped in front of the tall and thin man's neck.
"Don't test my patience."
The chopsticks were slowly inserted towards the throat.
"I said! I said!"
Feeling that death was approaching, the tall and thin man spoke very quickly: "It's the leader! All of this is what the leader ordered us to do! It was he who asked us to use the body of Li Yong's father to create the illusion of the undead, so as to carry the stars and the moon The reputation of the cult! Many of the events that happened in the city this month were arranged by the cult leader! It has nothing to do with us! It has nothing to do with us!"
He said hurriedly: "We are all forced! We are all forced!"
Yun Xi snorted and continued to ask: "Why did he do this? Also, why did he choose to come to Fang Yuecheng?"
The tall and lanky man knew everything: "The leader has encountered a bottleneck in his practice and needs to collect the yin energy of women and the spiritual energy of children to help him practice. As for why he came to Fang Yuecheng, I really don't know! Heroine, Sir, please let us go. Come on! We are all forced!"
"Forced?" Yun Xi asked indifferently, "Let me ask you, have you ever bullied a girl from a good family?"
The tall and lanky man paused: "I, I didn't..."
The wooden chopsticks fell and sealed his throat. Blood flowed out from the back of the tall and thin man's neck and gradually spread to the surrounding ground.
"Hesitated."
Yun Xi said lightly.
Thanks for the reward from TeaHi!
Because I'm thinking about graduation, I've been working hard to learn code recently, and I'm pretty good at it. I forget to update it from time to time, which is embarrassing...but I won't stop updating it.
