Marry the No. 1 Violent Beauty in the Immortal World [Rebirth]
Chapter 16 Drum Master
The old man asked curiously: "The three of you came here suddenly this time, what's the matter?"
Naturally, they couldn't say the real purpose of their trip, so Zhao Li made up a random reason: "The three of us are cultivators of immortality, and we noticed that there was an evil spirit hanging over Qingyao Town, so we came to take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man hurriedly made a silent gesture at him, looked around nervously, and whispered to them: "If the three of you are here to get rid of evil, then there is no need, let's go."
Yu Liangheng said coldly: "Why?"
The old man's face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Don't ask why, anyway, if you don't want to die, just leave!"
The old man is so eager to drive them away, the situation here is not normal, Zhao Li smiled and said gently: "Don't worry, old man, the three of us are quite capable, even if we can't get rid of the evil, self-protection is not a problem, but if Leaving the evil spirits in the town alone, wouldn't it mean turning a blind eye to the life and death of the people in the town in a disguised form, this is too cold-blooded, we can't be cruel."
After Zhao Li finished speaking, he grabbed the old man's sleeve and shook it twice, his eyes were bent into small crescents, and his bright smile had an inexplicable power of reassurance.
Yu Liangheng couldn't help but take another look at him.
Seeing that the old man was still hesitating, Yu Liangheng didn't want to waste any more time, and said calmly: "The village next to Qingyao Town is not the only one in Yufeng Village. Since we don't want to stay here, let's go to another place instead."
"Don't!" The old man stopped without thinking.
Luo Xie laughed: "Don't let us enter your village, and don't let us go to other villages, old man, you are too strict."
The old man explained with a bitter face: "It's not that the old man won't let you go, it's because you can't go, it's dangerous there."
Zhao Li was stunned: "How dangerous?"
The old man sighed, and helplessly took the reins of the mule: "Forget it, if you insist on this, then follow me into the village first, and I will tell you as I go."
It turned out that since more than [-] years ago, abnormalities appeared in the entire Qingyao Town and its surrounding villages.
At the beginning, a wealthy businessman in the town went out to do business, and when he came back, he brought back a statue of a god.It is said that it was consecrated to him by a living god that he met halfway, and the spiritual consciousness of the god is attached to it.The so-called living god also said that if he opened a temple for him and worshiped with incense and fire all day long, his wishes would come true.
At first, everyone didn't believe it. Even the merchant himself wondered if he had been deceived by God after he returned home.
Later, the businessman's wife asked for a divination from nowhere, saying that the statue was unlucky, and if it was kept, it would bring bad luck, so it had to be thrown away as soon as possible.
So, the next day, the statue was thrown into the forest ten miles away from Qingyao Town.
But the matter didn't end there. One month later, the well-known poor gambler in the town suddenly became rich overnight in the casino. Almost closed down their gambling shop.
Then, the boss of the casino asked his subordinates to follow the poor man to see if he was playing tricks.
The subordinates followed all the way to a ruined temple in the mountains. In the temple, there was only one bare god statue. A few dried melons and fruits were enshrined in front of the god statue. Bye, while saying, thank the gods for blessing and helping him win money.
And the statue enshrined in the ruined temple is the one that the businessman threw away.
As soon as this matter got out, it caused quite a commotion. The businessman felt remorseful, and kept scolding his wife for asking for a god or Buddha from some wild temple, and letting others take advantage of it for nothing.
Later, more and more people went to worship in the ruined temple. The believers squeezed the temple wall, and the tribute collapsed the table.Because the dilapidated temple was too dilapidated, there was no value in repairing it, so everyone pooled money to build a decent new temple in the center of the town.
In recent years, because more and more people have fulfilled their wishes, people have long stopped believing in gods and Bodhisattvas. Every household has such statues. They even named him the God of Laughing Face and Drumming.
The reason for this name is that the face of the statue is wearing a white mask with a crooked smiling face painted on it, and the second is that every [-]th day of the lunar new year, there will be rumors from the temple in the center of the town. The melodious sound of the skin drum is regarded by everyone as a symbol of the blessing of the gods, so the name of the smiling face drum god came into being.
"Drum God..." Zhao Li frowned, "Why have I never heard of such a god?"
The old man smiled wryly: "Young master, of course I have never heard of it. After all, this is not a fairy, but a complete evil! A monster!"
Zhao Li was stunned: "Monster?"
A trace of hatred flashed across the mottled face of the old man: "It's a monster, and it's a heinous monster who kills without blinking an eye."
Yu Liangheng and Chao Li Qiqi glanced at Luo Xie.
Luo Xie quickly waved his hand and said, "Look at what I'm doing, our demon world, oh no, we don't have such monsters there."
Luo Xie is the prince of the monster clan. He knows how many groups the monster clan has and how many members there are in each group.
The old man couldn't understand Luo Xie's words, so he continued: "Anyway, except for our Yufeng Village, all other villages have worshiped this kind of idol, and the villagers are all bewildered."
Chao Li tilted his head: "Then why doesn't Yufeng village offer it?"
The old man sighed: "It's not that I don't want to confess, it's just that our village is not a local. They migrated here three years ago. When they moved here, everyone swore an oath to the sky and believed that all things have spirits. I also fear demons, ghosts, gods and Buddhas, but I will never enshrine righteous gods. If I break my oath, I will never recover. Therefore, during the festivals, the statues posted in every household are those eleven hidden gods who do not know whether they really exist."
"So that's how it is." Zhao Li suddenly realized, no wonder the old man's family provided a portrait of Yu Liangheng for no reason.
Luo Xie asked the old man curiously: "Where did your whole village move here? This custom is too strange."
The old man gave him a wary look, and laughed, "It's not a famous place, and I don't even know about it after three people."
Luo Xie raised her eyebrows: "But if you don't tell me, how do you know we don't know?"
Seeing that the old man really didn't want to talk about it, Zhao Li must have something to hide, so he opened his mouth and changed the topic: "The origin of Yufeng Village is not important. The most important thing at present is the smiling face drum god who lives in Qingyao Town."
Yu Liangheng said coldly: "The old man just said that the villagers are all stunned, what does that mean?"
The old man shook his head helplessly and said: "If you have no money, you don't go out to work, if you're sick, you don't go to see a doctor, and you all go to pray and worship God. Isn't this madness?"
Zhao Li said: "I'm curious about another point, since this smiling face is so good, why haven't I heard of it in other places for more than [-] years?"
Before coming here, they made a special trip to investigate Qingyao Town, but they did not find anything related to the smiling face drum god. Obviously, this news did not spread to Qingyao Town.
The old man sighed: "Man, after a long time of getting something for nothing, it has changed. Since the number of believers has increased and spread to the surrounding villages, everyone's vows have become less effective. Everyone guesses that the drum gods have limited power. If the number of believers is allowed to continue to increase, it will be even more difficult for them to realize their wishes. Therefore, they consciously blocked the news. You haven’t entered the town yet. It hasn't been opened for more than two years."
After saying this, the old man carried the three of them in a mule cart and entered his small courtyard.
"Here we are, this is the old man's residence." After the three got out of the car, the old man tied the mule into the straw shed.
Luo Xie looked at the small dilapidated house in front of him, so dilapidated that the thatched roof could be blown away by the wind, his face twitched and he said: "Old man, your house is too shabby."
Yu Liangheng looked at him indifferently: "The broken stone cave in your house is not much better, so I have the nerve to talk about others."
Zhao Li: "..."
The old man smiled awkwardly: "The old man's house is really shabby, and there is no guest room in the house, so the three of you will come with me to the village chief's house later. Their family is big, and they should be able to arrange a place for the three of you."
Zhao Li bent his eyes and said with a smile: "Then thank you, old man, don't worry, we won't live in vain, one or two gold per person per day, how about it?"
The old man quickly waved his hands: "This is not good, this is too much, don't say that I don't agree, even if it is the village chief, he won't agree."
"It's okay." Zhao Li waved his hand, "Last time you helped me drive away the traffickers, I haven't had time to thank you, this time the extra money should be regarded as thanks."
Yu Liangheng lowered his eyes, and said to Chao Li indifferently: "The talk was quite quick, do you have money?"
The smile on Zhao Li's face froze, he seemed to have no money...
But after all the words have been said, it is not good to go back on it. He winked at Li Chong Luoxie, and said with his lips: "Do you have money? Can you lend me some first?"
"Yes!" Luo Xie readily responded.
As soon as he put his hand into the purse, Yu Liangheng pushed him aside, then took out a big gold ingot and handed it to the old man: "We don't know the village chief well, after you talk to the village chief later, Just give it to him."
Although the old man still didn't want to accept it, he was frightened by Yu Liangheng's indifferent eyes, timidly put it in his pocket, and then asked the three of them to wait here, and went to talk to the village chief himself.
As soon as he left, Yu Liangheng took the money bag in Luo Xie's hand and took out two gold bars from it.
Luo Xie was stunned: "That's my money!"
"I know." Yu Liangheng said indifferently, "I just paid the rent for you, since you have money now, I will pay back the money you owe, can't you?"
After finishing speaking, he tied the purse and threw it back into Luo Xie's arms.
The corner of Luo Xie's mouth twitched: "Sure enough, it's an iron cock, and it's so fussy about a few taels of gold."
"My money didn't fall from the sky, so naturally I have to worry about it," Yu Liangheng said, turning to look at Chao Li, "And you, little wild cat, even though you are my cat now, you still have to pay back the money." of."
"?" Zhao Li was stunned, what kind of drama did this scum sing? "But I have no money."
Yu Liangheng said coldly and arrogantly: "If you don't have money, you owe it first, and I will be your creditor from now on."
Zhao Li: "..."
Creditor shit!Stinger!
Yu Liangheng covered Zhao Li's eyes with his hands: "I don't like people staring at me, even cats staring at me."
Chao Li slapped Yu Liangheng's hand off: "Young master didn't stare at you."
Yu Liangheng said indifferently: "It's not staring, it's just looking at me, how good-looking me is?"
Just as Zhao Li was about to say no, Yu Liangheng's face was already close to his own, with a fierce look in his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone, as if if you said no, I would kick you into the sky like a star.
Little life is important... Zhao Lihong swallowed nervously with her ears pointed, "Yes."
Yu Liangheng reached out and touched Zhao Li's head, and said solemnly: "I like people who tell the truth."
Zhao Li: "..."
Why does he feel that Yu Liangheng is different from when he picked him up, not only likes to touch him now, but also narcissistic? !
Naturally, they couldn't say the real purpose of their trip, so Zhao Li made up a random reason: "The three of us are cultivators of immortality, and we noticed that there was an evil spirit hanging over Qingyao Town, so we came to take a look."
