At the end of Shenshi, a group of people arrived in Yuncheng.

Ziwu Street was originally a place for five-way trade, and Wufu Minfeng was extremely prosperous. Later, more and more businessmen settled here, and Yuncheng began to take shape. Yuncheng is Ziwu Street, and Ziwu Street is also Yuncheng.

Shenshi is the time when the night market is about to start. There is an endless stream of people on the street, cars and horses are constantly flowing, and red lights are hanging high in the pavilions, making it a bustling scene.

The circular square made of bluestone slabs is full of crowds and voices. Bamboo stalls are arranged in an orderly manner around the circular square, and there are many hawkers carrying umbrellas parked there, shouting one after another. .

"Ziwu Street is also known as 'Miscellaneous Market', where you can buy many strange things." Xiu Zhaoxuan said to Lin Qiubai, "It is very similar to the mortal market."

The group of people wore Daoyanzong's school robes, which attracted countless people's eyes. Yu Chuci and others also heard whispers nearby, but they were also used to being complimented by others, with their sleeves fluttering, and they walked forward unmoved. Lin Qiubai walked at the end, and was listening to Xiu Zhaoxuan popularizing the history and culture of Yuncheng, when suddenly his eyes lit up, "There is milk tofu here, big brother, do you want to try it?"

Most of the monks are pure-hearted and ascetic, so is Xiu Zhaoxuan, who doesn’t pay much attention to appetite. He was about to lick his head, but Lin Qiubai had already walked over, and came back after a while with two small bowls and a piece of fried rice in his hand. sugar.

A bowl was given to Xiu Zhaoxuan. Xiu Zhaoxuan was not interested in milk tofu, but when Lin Qiubai scooped up a piece with a small spoon, the juice overflowed from his lips, he swallowed and lowered his head to take a bite.

Lin Qiubai was in high spirits, "Is the taste good?"

Xiu Zhaoxuan hesitated for a while, then nodded.

The whole long street is full of snacks and snacks. Lin Qiubai hasn't tasted such delicacies in a few days. He walked and cleaned up, and bought croquettes, candied haws and other kinds of messy snacks.

After passing the food street, there is another theater.

There was a man and a woman at the door, and a singer in purple and gold wearing a rosy head and wearing a crown pinched his throat, and you spoke to each other. First, the man sang and asked the woman why she looked sad, and the woman babbled and sang in a handkerchief: "Slave is right!" That Xu Guangzu is sincere, but Lang's heart is like iron, he hides the neighbor's green plum in his heart, the slave is infatuated and wrongly pays, and Lang wants to take my spiritual root away, and my parents-in-law will also come to help..." It's all folk sayings It didn't rhyme at all, but the woman started to cry when she said it, and the desolation also attracted many people's onlookers.

Taking people's spiritual roots is tantamount to killing their parents. Even the few disciples of Daoyan Sect who walked in front disagreed, their faces were full of anger.

"Poor, so pitiful, this woman has done nothing wrong, yet she has such a sweetheart."

"This Xu Guangzu and his parents are really not the same thing."

"His green plum is not a thing either."

Several people were aggrieved and filled their chests with anger, and the discussion became louder and louder. Yu Chuci also heard their comments, and his calm expression froze suddenly, but a disciple asked him, "Does Junior Brother Yu think the same?"

With a stiff face, Yu Chuci nodded slowly.

So the disciples became more and more excited, they scolded Xu Guangzu and Qingmei bloody, and they even poohed several times.

Yu Chuci's face froze from holding back.

This street is an opera street, and most of the stall owners in it are Yinxiu. The streets and alleys are filled with silk and bamboo orchestras, and even the shouts are sung by holding the qinpa.There was a book store at the corner, and it was crowded with people. As soon as Lin Qiubai passed by, he was hooked by the boss's shoulders, "Brother, come and see my new products. They are selling very well. Now in the whole city, only my family has them." , Mr. Bao is satisfied."

Xiu Zhaoxuan frowned, and replied instead, "We are not interested."

But the boss persisted, glanced left and right, took out a yellow book from his cuff, and deliberately marked Grape Dafa's masterpiece. On the cover were two men, and the title was astonishing and exciting——

#Click to open to see, infatuated first apprentice climbs bed late at night Shizun#

Lin Qiubai: ...

Xiu Zhaoxuan:! ?

The boss also gave them a knowing look, "You understand."

Lin Qiu's face turned red immediately.

No, I don't understand.

Xiu Zhaoxuan took it over, flipped through two pages at random, and his face was flushed red, as long as anyone with a little IQ knows that the protagonists here are Lin Qiubai and Hongyu Daoist, one of them is his beloved junior brother, The other one was the master he admired, especially when the younger brother was still standing beside him, Xiu Zhaoxuan's heart was beating fast, and he asked, "How many other books like this are there?"

No matter it is for the younger brother or the master, he can't let such books go out. He made up his mind to buy all of them. However, the boss waved his hand, "The sales are too popular. This one is left."

Xiu Zhaoxuan: "..."

"However, if the guest adds ten more spirit stones, we can also present a commemorative version of the fire-avoiding map. There are all kinds of tricks and postures." The boss shook his head and talked about three fingers. This store is no longer there."

Lin Qiubai: "..."

Xiu Zhaoxuan: "I bought it."

After paying the money, Xiu Zhaoxuan threw the tightly-packed yellow scroll and the fire avoidance map into the storage bag, and explained with a serious face, "I'll burn it when I go back."

Lin Qiubai bit the candied haws and replied vaguely with a blushing face.

Just as he was about to leave, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a painting scroll in the middle of the bookshop, "What is that?"

The boss took down the painting scroll and unfolded it slowly in front of them. What was laid out in front of their eyes was a vivid and colorful painting. There was only one hand drawn on the huge rice paper, but the bones of the hand were well-proportioned and graceful, and the transparent nails covered the eyes. With a touch of pink, it is like a delicate flower blooming with dry bones, which is unbelievably beautiful.

Xiu Zhaoxuan recognized it at a glance, "Immortal Baiyue!"

The boss put away the scroll carefully, and said in a reverent tone, "That's right, although no one has seen the real face of Baiyue Xianjun, Wu Luozi, the painting sage, was lucky enough to copy one of the Xianjun's hands, and such a picture alone is enough No. [-] on the beauty list, this painting of mine is just a fake, without the sacrifice of Baiyue Xianjun, we would not be able to live a peaceful life like we are now, so everyone worships Xianjun like this."

In fact, there is another reason, that is, the aura of the cultivation world is declining year by year, and Immortal Bai Yue is the last ascendant in this dharma-ending era.

After leaving the book shop, the two caught up with the main force. Xiu Zhaoxuan noticed that Lin Qiubai had stopped eating snacks, and instead held his hands to look over and over again. He couldn't help asking curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with your hands? "

Lin Qiubai hesitated for a moment, then spread out his fingers, "Does it look like it?"

Xiu Zhaoxuan: "Like what?"

"The painting just now."

Xiu Zhaoxuan has long forgotten the painting just now. What he thought was that Junior Brother Lin originally had a smooth road, but later he made a mistake and became a mortal. His heart was bitter and inhumane. He thought that Lin Qiubai was using this method to entertain himself Zi Le, that is, his eyes became more gentle, he patted his head, and comforted him: "Like."

It is impossible for Lin Qiubai not to recognize his own hand. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was a rubbing of a mold.

A group of people finally came to the residence of the city lord. The officials of Yuncheng belonged to the Daoyan sect, and the city lord had been waiting for a long time. At this time, he opened the door with his family members to welcome them.

The lord of the city, Jindan, has a square face and short beard, and calm eyes. Because he often travels far away, his body is stronger than others, but his conversation has a scholarly atmosphere, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. He also has seven children, all of whom are full Xiao Douding, who was running around, hid behind the door and quietly looked into the hall.

After inviting everyone to take their seats, the city lord said with a smile, "Everyone, you might as well stay here first, I've already ordered people to prepare drinks..."

"No need," Yu Chuci said with a faint and distant smile on his white and elegant face, and his words were very sincere, "I just walked through Meridian Street and didn't see anything unusual. The city lord should just tell me what's going on."

Hearing this, the city lord showed a sad face, "It was fine a few days ago, but then a crazy Taoist priest came to the city, first walked around the city and left three judgments, saying that Meridian Street will usher in three surprises." Dreams, the first frightening dream-the turbid haze is terrifying, the second frightening dream-people and animals are restless, and the third frightening dream-floating corpses are everywhere."

The eye doctor named Zhao Bin slapped his thigh, "This isn't a dream, it's a curse!"

The city lord nodded helplessly, "At that time, no one saw that crazy Daoxiu in their eyes. They didn't expect that after he left, the first day outside the city ten miles to the north would be cloudy and foggy, and the sound of beat wood was often heard. Strange thing, many casual cultivators went in to investigate, but never came out again."

Yu Chuci said: "The first startling dream has come true."

The city lord poured down a cup of tea, "Yes, the next day all the livestock in the city began to stir and died one after another. The air above the city was filled with a bloody smell, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in haze. A dream has come true.”

Zhao Bin: "Needless to say, the third verdict has come true?"

"Yes."

"Floating corpses... so where are these corpses now?"

Since you want to find out the ins and outs, you must find the answer from the corpses. Except for those claimed by relatives, the remaining hundreds of corpses were arranged by the city lord in a temporary shed outside the city.

Going north outside the city, dry grass is everywhere, night falls and a thin layer of air is shrouded, hogs and worms chirp quietly in the dry grass. There are hundreds of corpses, the space is limited, and the corpses are placed one by one.

The rotten smell was really unbearable. Yu Chuci covered his nose with his hands and frowned delicately. Seeing that he was not feeling well, Zhao Bin immediately said, "Junior Brother Yu is waiting outside, let's go and have a look."

Yu Chuci didn't insist either.

Zhao Bin and the other two medicine cultivators squatted down to check, "They are all Qi-refining monks, they died not long ago, and their storage bags are all there." Seeing Xiu Zhaoxuan and Lin Qiu also walking over, they cupped their hands, "Senior Brother Xiu. "

As for Lin Qiubai, they both ignored the past.

Xiu Zhaoxuan: "Have you found anything else?"

Affected by the rot, Zhao Bin and the others shook their heads with pale faces.

A female disciple said hesitantly, "These people are so skinny."

The wind in the wasteland passed through the bony branches and turned into a hoarse chirp, which was so faint that it made people's mouth rise. Lin Qiubai turned around, and a few strands of hair fell on the side of his cheeks and fell on his sharp and thin chin. The moonlight shines through the window lattice, elongating the frail and thin shadow, which is so vague that it doesn't look like a real person.

He said softly, "They all starved to death."

There are people who have money but starve to death, and there are people who eat a lot and hoard it in their stomachs, but they also starve to death.
