Dengxian of crossing

"It's not good! It's not good! Dali is dead! This time it's Dali!"

During the stalemate, suddenly a thin villager ran towards the entrance of the village from behind She Yunzhen and the two, shouting as he ran.

"This time, Empress Peach Blossom chose not an outsider, but Dali!"

Immediately, no matter which side of the people, they all looked towards the person who came.

Sheyun really didn't know and didn't understand, but the villagers in the opposite village looked ugly.

The thin man was also a middle-aged man, probably because he was not strong enough to act as a deterrent, so he didn't gather at the entrance of the village like everyone else.

The middle-aged man fell to the ground while running and didn't get up. He knelt down on the ground, covered his face and cried, "Peach Blossom Empress is not going to spare us! There is no longer any substitute for the dead in our village! Woohoo, the ones who will die in the future, woohoo, it will be us!"

On the opposite side, a young man dropped the wooden stick in his hand and landed on the ground with a "clang", and then burst into tears, shouting, "Father!" and rushed towards the person coming.

She Yun looked at Xue Zhisha in confusion.

What's going on here?

Xue Zhisha's eyes were deep and deep, but he smiled and said nothing.

In a wooden house on the edge of the village, the young man who had just run away hugged the corpse on the bed and cried loudly, his voice was so miserable that one couldn't help feeling sad.

There were a few people from Taohuazhai standing in the room, most of them were on good terms with the owner of the house.Now my friend has gone to Jiatong Village to see the situation and help with the funeral, so that he can leave in a decent way.

Most of these people are middle-aged and elderly people, and some middle-aged men have some hurtful expressions on their faces. Looking at the gray-skinned man who has lost his popularity on the bed and exudes the fragrance of peach blossoms, he seems to be looking at something sad .

Xue Zhisha and She Yunzhen also followed, Xue Zhisha wanted to get that thing, and She Yunzhen wanted to see what happened.

When I came here, I found out that the person who died happened to be the real Orion who had saved She Yun before.

For this Orion... Sheyun is a little complicated in his heart.

This person said he was a good person, but he still tricked them into moving in even though he knew that something was wrong in the village.If he is a bad person, but he actually took the risk to save She Yunzhen once, he is a cultivator, and he will suffer some injuries when he falls from a horse, and he will recover soon, but if it is a mortal, it will be a traumatic injury.

If the horse goes crazy, there may be death.

After all, medical technology is not high in this era.

She Yun really thought about it, it would be great if this person didn't show up at the beginning.

It's just a mountain village passing by. Unlike ordinary people, cultivators don't need three meals a day, and they can meditate and regain their senses even after rest. What's more, She Yunzhen has entered the foundation building, and he is not even a human being.They may not live in the village, and there will not be so many incidents.

But since I already know that something happened to my master, and there is something in this village that can help my master, then... just follow the trend.

but……

She Yunzhen sighed, "As expected of the world of immortals, even a remote village has artifacts."

"What artifact?" Xue Zhisha looked at him.

She Yunzhen looked back, blinked, and said innocently, "You didn't say that? There is something here that can help my master, isn't it some magic weapon?"

Xue Zhisha: "...No one stipulates that only magic weapons can help aspirants."

"...Okay," She Yunzhen asked, "What the hell is that?"

Xue Zhisha smiled meaningfully, "A good thing."

"..."

She Yunzhen swallowed "I want to slap you" to the edge of his mouth, then turned to look at the young man beside the bed.

This young man has just reached his twenties, and the greenness on his face has not completely faded away, and he already has the appearance of an adult.Children from poor families always mature very early.

Now, after he first came into contact with the adult world, the only father who could help him has died. It seems that this child will suffer a lot in the future.

Although his body is only in his teens, his real age is more than 20 years old, and he can be regarded as a junior.

The appearance of the half-child crying with his arms around his father's corpse was really miserable.

She Yunzhen tugged at Xue Zhisha's sleeve, Wen turned his head and looked at Xue Zhisha suspiciously, "Aren't you going to ask what's going on?"

Xue Zhisha stretched out his hand to touch She Yunzhen's head, and when he was slapped away, he didn't think it was disobedient, and said, "This...I said it, they can only tell us on their own initiative."

"If they volunteered to tell us, would the weirdness of this village go away?"

"No," Xue Zhisha said, "it's just that if they don't take the initiative to tell us, even if we solve the problem, the curse here will still not disappear."

She Yunzhen poked the guy's waist with his elbow, "Hey! Aren't you very good at tricking people? Go, go! Use your bad stomach!"

Xue Zhisha: "...you are the only one full of bad water!"

After finishing speaking, she pinched She Yunzhen in retaliation, making She Yunzhen grin.

Fortunately, the attention of the villagers on the opposite side was focused on the corpse on the bed, otherwise, this guy's image of a noble son would have collapsed.

However, the man still walked over and asked the villagers, "This brother helped the two of us a few days ago. When we met, he was still very healthy. Why did he suddenly become ill in just a few days?"

The villagers next to each other looked at each other in embarrassment, you look at me and I look at you, and finally, one person laughed awkwardly, "People eat whole grains, how can they not get sick."

Xue Zhisha raised his eyebrows, "Oh, that's such a pity, this brother still has a lot of time, but he left early... It seems that he was too tired on weekdays? Otherwise, how could such a strong body be for no reason? It's gone."

"Yes, yes..." the villager who had just spoken said awkwardly.

The child who had been crying while hugging the corpse suddenly stopped crying, and said through gritted teeth, "I didn't die of illness! My father has always been healthy! It's clearly..."

"Little embolus!"

A villager sternly stopped him.

Xiao Shuanzi yelled back even louder, "You want to hide the truth, but I won't! My father died wronged! My father never participated in those things! Why is it my father who died this time! My father Such a good person usually helps you with work, and you just watch him die for no reason?"

All the villagers kept their mouths shut, only one who seemed a little older was still persuading the emotional young man, "Little Shuanzi, I know that your father's death was wronged, but if you don't mention this matter again, it is the responsibility of the whole village." People decide together.”

Xiao Shuanzi stared at the man resentfully, and said with a fierce expression, "Of course you don't want others to mention it! Because you have a share in killing that woman!"

The villager's face immediately changed, a little scared and a little annoyed, and finally turned his head and cursed, "Follow you! Animal education boy!" Then he slammed the door and left.

She Yunzhen looked at the man's back and frowned.

He doesn't like this man.

Death is the most important thing, this person curses, but both the living and the dead curse.

Xue Zhisha didn't seem to have seen all this, but asked Xiao Shuanzi with great interest, "It seems that there is something hidden about this matter? I don't know, what does it have to do with you stopping us?"

Hearing Xue Zhisha's question so straightforwardly, the faces of the villagers were all ugly. An uncle said to Xiao Shuanzi, "I'll come back next time to help you see what you need to prepare." Then he turned and left.

Another villager comforted Xiao Shuanzi, saying, "Everyone is dead, so don't be too sad, lest something will happen to you. I will bring the coffin to carry him tonight." Then he also left.

With the first and second, there is the third and fourth.

The rest of the villagers expressed that they would help with the funeral, and then left with excuses. It didn't take long for the cabin to become spacious.

Only one corpse and three living people remained.

Xue Zhisha looked at the door with a smile in his eyes.

Humans are really interesting things.

Little Shuanzi had cried enough, wiped away his tears and snot with his sleeve, and pulled the straw mat to cover his father.

"In our village, something happened ten years ago."

Both She Yunzhen and Xue Zhisha's attention were attracted.Is this about to start telling secrets?

Xiao Shuanzi stood up, sat by the bed, looked at the two outsiders in luxurious clothes, and said slowly, "Since that incident, the peach blossoms in our village have always been in bloom, and the seasons are like spring."

It turns out that Taohuazhai has been famous for its luxuriant peach blossoms since a long time ago. Many tourists and businessmen from nearby come here to enjoy the peach blossoms, taste the unique peach blossom wine, and have some peach blossom desserts.Because the villagers are warm and honest, and the products made of peach blossoms are also affordable and delicious, Taohuazhai became famous all around for a while.

It is said that a long time ago, people in Taohuazhai rescued a businessman. The businessman was grateful and told the villagers to use peach blossoms to make food and sachets for sale, and then went outside to publicize the beauty of Taohuazhai. People have a way of making a living.

But as the village became richer and richer, people's hearts gradually became impetuous.

More than ten years ago, a beautiful woman named Tao Niang came out of Taohua Village. It is said that she was born in March when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, so she was named Tao Hua, nicknamed Tao Niang.

It is said that this peach girl is naturally beautiful, with an unusually fragrant peach blossom fragrance around her body, and a small mole on one side of the bridge of her nose, which is not only not ugly on her face, but also adds to her appearance. How pretty.

Since Tao Niang Jiji, the threshold of his family has been broken again and again by matchmakers and marriage proposals, and because there are many tourists in the village, Tao Niang's beauty is well known not only in the village, but even outside. The people seeking marriage gradually expanded from the village to outside the village.

But just when everyone thought that Tao Niang would choose the one with the best conditions among the many proposers to marry, a scandal happened in his family.

Myrtle is pregnant.

The child was later aborted, but his reputation was rotten.

One month after this happened, Tao Niang tied a hemp rope to the beam at home and hanged herself.

His family buried Tao Niang's body under a peach tree in the village. Since that year, the peach blossoms in the village have always been in full bloom, and every day is in full bloom.

Under the sun every day, the charming and gorgeous peach blossoms are as beautiful as the smiles of peach girls back then.

It is said that those who have seen it will never forget it.

And since that year, every three months, a person will die in the village, and the person who dies must be a healthy young man. Within an hour after the death, the corpse will have the lingering fragrance of peach blossoms.

The villagers began to panic, but no matter how much they prayed to the gods and worshiped Buddha, or took care of their family members, people would definitely die in the village.

Those who died were all young and middle-aged men who could work. How could this make the villagers feel relieved?

But after a long time, everyone also saw the way.

Although four people die every year, and these people are young and middle-aged people who are able to work hard, those who die are not necessarily from the village, but may also be outsiders who came to play.

Moreover, when there are people from outside the village, it seems that there is a greater chance that the person who died was from outside the village.

Therefore, people in the village began to play tricks on outsiders.

I can't help not telling outsiders the secret here, and keeping it secret, whenever outsiders come, I try my best to keep them behind.

However, outsiders are not stupid.

With so many dead, it always draws attention.Gradually, Taohuazhai's reputation became bad, and outsiders didn't come here very often.

They had just deceived a scholar who went to the imperial city to study and kept him, but they also got into a lawsuit. They finally won the lawsuit, but no one dared to come again.This time, if Xue Zhisha and She Yun really didn't stay, the ones who died would be people from their village.

"That's what you said." There was a vicious smile on the young man's face, a bit vicious, a bit gloating.

"But who doesn't know, they did something wrong first!"

"Oh?" Xue Zhisha said, "What's the solution?"

The young man seemed to be venting his narration, with a mocking smile on his face all the time.

"The scandal of Tao Niang's pregnancy was exposed by a villager. The villager was interested in Tao Niang, but his family was poor and couldn't afford a wife, so he simply wanted to rape Tao Niang. First, make good things happen, and then slowly talk about marriage. .”

A little disgust appeared on She Yunzhen's face.

What a scum, to think of such a way.

The young man said again, "Hehe, that man is not a good guy, he is the only poor guy in the village, and he doesn't even think about the reason. !"

"This man is ugly, so Tao Niang naturally didn't want to. That man exposed Tao Niang's pregnancy and said a lot of nasty things. Tao Niang couldn't see anyone when she went out."

"Women in the village will spit at the door of her house when they go out to wash vegetables, and there are men who deliberately tell some nasty jokes outside her house for fun."

"To be honest, these are not the reasons for Tao Niang's death. The real reason for her death is that a wealthy businessman from outside the village fell in love with her, so he hired a few villagers to spend 100 taels as a dowry, and forced Tao Niang to do it. His concubine."

She Yunzhen said, "Please allow me to say something, this Tao Niang got a bad reputation first, and the villagers pushed her back. At this time, there are wealthy businessmen who are willing to marry her. Even if she is a concubine, it is better than wasting time in the village, right?"

What She Yunzhen said was a little sorry for Tao Niang, but it was the real truth.

In ancient times, women's chastity was very important. Tao Niang hanged out with unknown men and had children. First of all, this honor is gone. Moreover, no matter how prosperous the village is, it can't compare with the rich clothes and fine food in the city.

Rich households who can give out 100 taels of concubines will not be in short supply if they want to come to their families.

And if Tao Niang married her, she would be a noble concubine, and her worth would be higher than the concubines brought up by ordinary maidservants and prostitutes.

"Who says it's not?" The young man laughed mockingly, "But the premise is that the rich man is not an old man in his seventies or eighties, who also eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles, and has a litter of concubines in his family. I also like to play with new things."

The conclusion of the truth about the cloud.

They are all seventy and eighty and still want to marry a concubine?Still like to play?

Really old and strong.

"In order to refuse to be that old man...that rich merchant's concubine, this Tao Niang, committed suicide?"

The true way of involving clouds.

The young man said, "Of course not."

She Yunzhen: "..."

"Tao Niang's parents almost killed someone, and finally made the rich businessman give up the idea, but he also offended those fellow villagers who were bribed. Once again, Tao Niang's parents were not at home, and those beasts united with a few If you have evil intentions, take Tao Niang..."

The young man suddenly laughed strangely a few times.

"Tsk." She Yunzhen frowned, feeling that his impression of this village was even worse.

"The few who died at the beginning were all from their own village, and they were the ones who took Tao Niang..." The young man continued, "The next day, Tao Niang committed suicide. It is said that when she died He has a ferocious face, and there is an unusually strong peach blossom fragrance on his body, which doesn't dissipate until an hour later."

She Yun couldn't help but look at the corpse on the bed.

The scent seemed to turn into a rotten stench in an instant.
