Why did Jianzun steal his relatives [Rebirth]

At this time, many years have passed since the "Taoist Rebellion". They didn't even know that there had been such a shocking disaster here.

At least along the way, the other towns I saw were peaceful and peaceful.

However, Pengxi County right now is unusual, with a sinister and sinister aura that sends chills down the spine, Chong Jiu put away his smile, and pressed his fingers on the hilt of his waist: "Something's wrong, be careful."

Xu Yun nodded, bent over to put the pearls into the skirt of his clothes.Chong Jiu held him with his left hand to prevent the two from getting separated, until when they passed through the city gate, there was a sudden tick on his shoulder.

The two raised their heads at the same time, Xu Yun was startled "ah", it turned out to be several heads hanging high!Some are old and some are young, most of them have decayed, exposing thick bones, leaving a pair of black holes in the eye sockets.

"Pretending to be a ghost!" Chongjiu swung his sleeve with a sword, and the hemp ropes all snapped, and heads fell one after another, and they were about to split on the ground like watermelons.He looked back at Yan Xuyun, frowned and clicked his tongue, unwilling to dirty the little monk's eyes with redness all over the floor.

So he grabbed a few old straw mats under the wall and wrapped the heads hastily.

Chongjiu lifted a corner of the straw mat, and took a few glances without being so disgusting: "It was the neck that was cut and bled, there is something wrong with it."

He was throwing the straw mats out in disgust, but Xu Yun couldn't see their corpses exposed in the wilderness, and wanted to drag them outside the city for burial.

At this time, there was a strange noise in the distance, and Chong Jiu had no choice but to pull out the sword that had just been sheathed——I saw dozens of people crawling out of the city, each holding a sickle, rake, hook and shovel , both men and women are skinny, dark and dark, with alert faces.

Xu Yun swept across these villagers, before he could speak, handfuls of stones were thrown at him!

"Xu Yun!" Chong Jiu led him to dodge, unable to think too much, raised his hand and spread out a barrier to cover the two of them, seeing Xu Yun's forehead was smashed, his heart oozes blood with pain , turned around and scolded angrily, "What's wrong with your broken place! You smash anyone you see?!"

He pulled off his sleeve and touched Xu Yun's wound, asking: "Are you all right?"

Xu Yun was stunned by this brilliant formation, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses and shake his head: "You..."

The one in the lead was barely stronger, seeing the golden light in front of them, and the stones couldn't hurt them at all, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment, raised his rake and shouted: "You, who are you!"

Chong Jiu frowned, and said sarcastically, "Save your gods!"

A group of people looked at me, I looked at you, and stared at the golden light enchantment, which is obviously not something ordinary people can do... I don't know who hit the head, maybe because they didn't dare to provoke them, someone knelt down embarrassingly , followed by one after another, all knelt next to each other all over the ground.

"... Immortal Elder, Master."

Before the two could react, they were welcomed into the city.

Xu Yun looked around for a while, and saw that the city was in a state of despondency, with everything waiting to be built, as if it had just been hit by a plague, the children were hungry, the women were sick and thin, the city was filled with a stench, with the summer Exposure to the sun makes it even worse.

When I came back to my senses, I saw a temple that was incompatible with the ruined scene in the city.

The temple is decorated with gold, shining brightly, Xuyun is always pious, and he must worship every temple, so he walked in naturally.

The incense table was surrounded by countless flowers, and there were pieces of red meat on the white jade plate. He approached suspiciously and covered his mouth suddenly.

Seeing this, Chong Jiu followed in with a stunned expression.

——These offerings turned out to be freshly cut livers, spleens and hearts, both from humans and animals.

"Pearl" was hidden in Xuyun's bosom, but at this moment he struggled to get out.Looking up, I saw a golden statue standing on the altar, which was neither Laojun nor Bodhi, but a flute-holding god, with flowing clothes and a handsome figure, but no facial features.

Chong Jiu blocked the plates of bloody things, turned around and asked, "Who is enshrined here?"

Everyone hesitated for a long time, faltering.

Chongjiu pulled out a long-bearded man in a robe, who looked like a priest, kicked him and said, "Speak!"

Miao Zhu flinched and dared not speak, but a young man in the crowd ignored the obstruction and shouted: "This is an evil god!"

The complexion of the young man's parents changed, and they hurriedly covered his mouth, then hurriedly kowtowed to the statue, saying, "Don't blame the gods."The young man didn't believe this at all, so he dismissed it and said, "Hey, what kind of god, is there a god in this world who drinks blood and eats flesh?"

Everyone was speechless by his questioning, but they all kept their mouths shut, not daring to speak ill of the god.

Only the young man named Wu Xiaohai didn't believe in evil, he talked about Chongjiu and Xuyun, and said angrily...

——This "god" came to the city more than ten years ago.

In other towns, there may be sects attached to them, who can receive shelter and relief, or the entire village will be relocated to find another way of life.

The Pengxi people live mostly by planting lotuses and selling lotus roots, and they don't have much money to curry favor with the Immortal Mansion.It is also located at the junction of the three Taoist schools. Due to various disputes, these three families often have conflicts over the ownership of Pengxi County, and it is not easy to take over directly.

Simply don't care about anyone, and gradually, Pengxi has become a place that doesn't matter.

At that time, Pengxi County had just experienced the Tiantai Mountain massacre for a few years, and the shock was still undecided. The people in the city went to seven or eight in the chaos, and most of the remaining living people moved away with their families, leaving only a hundred and ten old and weak Even farming has become a problem for women and children, and it has almost become a dead city.

At first, the three Taoist sects would give a helping hand, but no one was willing to let them support Pengxi consistently for ten years.So within a few years, Pengxi County became a poor little place where no one cares about it and no one asks about it, as if no parents care about it.

That fairy came at this time, he can summon the wind and call the rain, fly the clouds and ride the fog, make people out of earth, and bring the dead back to life.He even brought countless gold, silver and jewels, which suddenly made the Pengxi people who had been suffering for a long time live a good life.

The common people no longer have to work hard at farming from dawn to dusk, and they don’t have to cry for mercy and relief from Lin County. They are grateful to the immortal, worship him as a god, and build a temple for him to offer incense.

And the god's request is not much, but two live chickens and ducks that are slaughtered for 49 days are enshrined every day.Until the chickens and ducks could not be used by the gods, people offered cattle and sheep without even thinking about it.

The gods not only protected the people, but also responded to their requests. Everyone converted to believe in the gods, and the temple of the gods was full of incense. Even the statues of the gods were changed from wood to stone, and from stone to gold, creating a magnificent atmosphere.

As long as every household offers animal sacrifices, they can sit back and enjoy the benefits, wear gold and silver, drink tea and walk birds every day, and their lives are in full swing.

It's been like this for many years.

Finally one day, the cattle and sheep were all slaughtered, and the people had nothing to sacrifice. Miao Zhu and the county magistrate had to bring a group of devout believers to invite the gods to report the matter.

However, the divine monarch was hovering above the clouds, and as soon as he waved his sleeves, several thunderbolts fell, scorching the half-body robes of Miao Zhu, and then issued a decree: "There are no animals, so why not human animals?"

As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at a young woman. She was the newly married young daughter-in-law of the county magistrate's family, and she was clamoring to follow her to see the god's beauty.

The little woman raised her eyes secretly, and saw that the god was born so tall and handsome. If she could serve the god, her life would be worthwhile... Thinking of this, she not only blushed.

So in the panic of everyone, the woman stood up in a trance, pushed aside the crowd and walked over, took the dagger from the god's hand, and slit her throat without changing her expression, the blood immediately flowed like brocade. It floated out and was gracefully sucked into the mouth by the god.

Immediately, she took out her beating heart and placed it in the palm of the god with a smile.

"..."

Although everyone was terrified by this, they couldn't easily let go of the rich clothes and fine food they were used to.Miao Zhu and others kowtowed to confess their crimes, and promised in trepidation that they would make human sacrifices on time and worship the gods to practice.

That's it, Shenjun took root in Pengxi County.

Whenever the gods need human sacrifices, the temple will use the name of worshiping the gods to select people who volunteer to serve the gods and sacrifice them in exchange for the safety and prosperity of everyone.

Some people are willing to fight and some are willing to suffer. No matter how absurd this matter is, it is understandable.However, until three years ago, after enjoying a human sacrifice, the god suddenly disappeared without a trace and never came back.

People didn't take it seriously until they were sitting and eating, and then they woke up.But they have been used to getting something for nothing, and suddenly lost their source of wealth. The first thing they think about is not how to rely on themselves, but take the initiative to offer more human sacrifices, kneel down to the temple, and beg for the coming of the gods.

The old and weak, the strong and capable young, and the virgins who are like flowers and jade... They were anxious, guessing the taste of the gods, and reflecting on where the lack of service made the gods unhappy, so they refused to perform miracles ?

——After many years, Pengxi County has become like this.

After hearing this, Chong Jiu sneered fiercely.

Even so, to this day, these people have become sick and emaciated to such an honor, and they don't want to regain farming and improve their lives, but they still pin their hopes on this glorious temple?

... No matter how bad it is, smash this statue of god embellished with beads and jade, and exchange it for money!

Xu Yun frowned and glanced at him, Chong Jiu silently closed his mouth and stopped talking nonsense.

Xiao Yihe secretly stared at the statue for a long time, his eyes fell on the blank face without eyebrows and the jade flute on his waist.

The jade flute is thicker and longer than ordinary flutes, but the sound hole is indeed a flute. Such a strange appearance, is it a craftsman's mistake?And this statue, although there are no facial features engraved, but the more you look at the figure, the more familiar it is...

Suddenly his cat pupils shrank vertically, a flash of inspiration flashed, and a bad thought came to his mind.

This might not be the flute...Xiao Yihe suddenly realized.

——This is not some unknown Sanxian god, but Ning Wuzhi who "knows me" with a jade flute in his hand!

The reason why the flute is carved like a flute should be that the common people can't tell the difference between the two.

The golden statue and Ning Wuzhi are exactly the same in shape, and counting the time, it is just right - 65 years ago, the puppet sect was destroyed, and Ning Wuzhi disappeared and was hard to find; within a few years, Pengxi County There was one more "Shenjun" holding a jade flute.

And the reason why the "Shenjun" suddenly left may be...he accidentally learned some news, so he had to go to investigate it himself.

For example, Daichuan is suppressing an earth spirit that is rare in a hundred years.

Xiao Yihe's back felt cold, his eyes narrowed, and he thought: ... Ning Wuzhi, what exactly do you want to do?

Xuyun saw the pearl in his bosom raised suddenly, stroked it gently, until he stroked Xiao Yihe until his whole body was comfortable, then he turned his head to look at Chongjiu, and said softly: "Chongjiu, I want to stay here and open the altar to give lectures."

Chong Jiu was thinking about leaving this ghostly place quickly, when he heard Xu Yun make this decision, he looked at him in shock: "...ah?" He quickly pulled Xu Yun aside, and lowered his voice: "What are you staying for, This group of people can even do murder! You don’t even know how to use your legs and feet, no, I won’t allow it!”

Xu Yun said: "They are just bewitched by evil gods, they are not really vicious people, if no one guides them to be good, how can they wake up? The Buddha said that there is great compassion and peace, and all suffering..."

Chong Jiu couldn't understand his prophecies, so he just folded his arms and shook his head, firmly saying, "No!"

Xu Yun was silent for a while, pulled his sleeve, and his voice became softer, like a feather falling down: "...isn't there still you?"

"..." Chongjiu stared at him strangely, smacked for a while, and teased him, "Master, are you acting like a spoiled child to me?"

Xu Yun lowered his head, lightly squeezed the holding beads in his hand, held back for a long time before mustering up the courage to raise his eyes, and asked Chongjiu: "Is it okay..."

His eyes were soft, like mist falling from the clouds, making people sink in.

Chongjiu was stunned for a moment, the troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers, and the evil god eating human liver in the middle of the night, all of them were cleared out of his mind, and there was only a light and soft cheek with a slight blush in his eyes.

This face wanted to eat his heart, and he was willing to offer it with both hands.

It's over, Chongjiu thought.

He pretended not to care, but his palms were sweating, and he stuttered suddenly: "Okay, okay. Then it's settled, you must stay, just in case, you have to... let me share the same room with you, I will protect you."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xuyun, feeling a little regretful, afraid that he would not agree.

Just when he was about to change his mouth, Xu Yun pursed his lips and nodded: "...um."

Chongjiu was a little dizzy by the unexpected happiness.

Is this true, is there really such a good thing?Live with Xu Yun?He can't wait to pay homage to this golden statue, it's all thanks to your old man!

"Come, come! Wu Xiaohai! Come on, make room for Master Xuyun!"

Fearing that Xu Yun would repent, he grabbed the young monk's wrist and yelled loudly, asking the young man to find a deserted house where he could stay.

Wu Xiaohai hurriedly led them there.

Xiao Yihe began to doubt Maosheng: Why am I here?

Tsk, I suddenly have a toothache.

Looking at the sleeves that the two held up, he shrank into the depths of Xu Yun's skirt, his eyes were out of sight, he licked his paws, and suddenly thought of his junior brother again.

Sect Master Xue was still listening to the scriptures outside in pain, and he didn't know how he was listening. Did he find that he was no longer there?
