[Honghuang] After dressing as the goddess of laurel, I came to Honghuang again

However, another reason why rumors can rise is that everyone is afraid of the unknown.They had to pin these unknowns on the gods, and then introduce a scapegoat to ease their fear.

Shang Zhi and the others want to stop some of the rumors. The most important thing at the moment is to find out the reason for the birth of the deformed fetus.

Yuan Qing will definitely not lie, and there is no problem with his strength.If it is not the work of God, then it can only be caused by man.

Thinking of this, Shang Zhi asked Fuxi to take him to a few families who gave birth to deformed fetuses.

The children born after a narrow escape were so different, which made the family's mood not very good.Especially on the mother's side, it is even more sad.In today's situation, the relationship between father and child is often not as close as that of mother, and many children do not even know who their father is.So the mother also has a closer relationship with the child.

But today the husband and wife are regular partners. When Shang Zhi and the others went, the man silently came out to greet them.

Fuxi asked, "Where is that child?"

The man shook his head, and there seemed to be a sound in the house, and there was a sad cry.

Shang Zhi and Fuxi looked at each other, and both had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Fuxi asked: "What did you do to the child?"

After a while, the door was opened, and the woman with gray hair said: "That child is not blessed, he has lost his breath and was buried by his father."

Fuxi was stunned for a while, and looked much more tired.

Shang Zhi was equally sorry, but he also remembered their purpose, so he asked: "Where is that child buried? We need to go and see, and his mother may also have a look."

Shang Zhi still remembered the troublemakers behind it, so he was afraid that someone would curse them or something.

The old lady nodded, pushed the man and said, "Hurry up and bring the leader and Dong Guan in."

Shang Zhi noticed that her facial features were similar to those of a man, so he asked, "Are you mother and son?"

The old lady nodded and said, "You can come in now."

She covered the woman with an animal skin and covered it with a layer of sackcloth.The woman lying on the bed looked weak, but it was more of a mental blow.

Not only is the child suffering from a strange disease, but also because she is worried that the so-called curse will also come true to her.

Shang Zhi carefully observed the woman's appearance, and then used his spiritual power to enter her body and inspect it.

"How?" Fuxi asked.

Shang Zhi said strangely: "It's a bit strange, she is in good health, and she doesn't look like she has been cursed, nor does she seem to have eaten anything strange."

Hearing this, the woman was taken aback for a moment, and hastily turned her cheek to look at them.

Shang Zhi always felt a little familiar when he saw her appearance, but couldn't remember where he saw it for a while, so he could only frown in distress.

The old lady said: "The child has no problem, could it be that I and Amu have a problem?"

Fuxi said, "Would you like to take a look as well."

Shang Zhi nodded, and let the spiritual energy penetrate into the bodies of the two of them again, but still found no problem.

Seeing this, the woman thought that Shang Zhi hadn't discovered the real problem, and her surprise turned to worry, so she couldn't help coughing twice.

Amu hurried to help her, and gave her water again.Looking at the two cheeks that were close together, Shang Zhi suddenly asked in doubt: "Why do they look alike?"

"They are brothers and sisters, but their fathers are different." Fuxi, as the leader, had made a special effort to understand the people involved in the accident, so he answered first.

Shang Zhi was startled, and suddenly patted his forehead forcefully.

He is really good looking.I have been in this world for so long, I am used to seeing gods and ghosts, but I forgot that this matter can still be explained by science.

Fuxi stared at him nervously, and asked, "Are you okay? It's okay if you can't find the reason for now, don't do anything to yourself."

"No." Shang Zhi explained to him, "I suddenly remembered, and I probably know the reason."

Hearing what he said, all the people in the room became nervous, looking at him eagerly, wanting to know the answer.

Shang Zhi said: "Are the families involved in the accident all related by blood?"

"Blood relationship?" Fuxi was puzzled.

"See if they have intermarriages of three generations or less. The children of the parents and their brothers and sisters are counted. Including the parents of the parents and their brothers and sisters. The closer the relationship, the more attention should be paid."

Fuxi didn't even need to think about it, he told all about their relationship.Because of the group marriage, this is actually an extremely difficult task.Fortunately, among the three couples, the blood relationship between the husband and the wife is fairly close, so Fuxi soon cleared his mind.

After discovering that these three families were actually related by blood between their parents, Fuxi fell silent.

"You mean, the reason why these weird children appear is because of the intermarriage of brothers and sisters?"

Shang Zhi nodded.

The three of the family also heard this, and at first they didn't believe it at all.The old lady even said directly: "When I was young, I didn't see children together at home. Why are their children okay?"

Shang Zhi said: "This is a matter of probability. It is impossible to have all of them. But if siblings marry, the chances are higher and it is easier to give birth to deformed children. If you don't believe it, you can count the families that gave birth to deformed children. Let's see if the blood relationship is mostly similar."

How many people could understand what he said, they all went to see Fuxi.

Fuxi was different from them, as early as when Shang Zhi came to this conclusion, he had already started to think about the possibility.He knew the tribe's environment better than ordinary people in the tribe, so it was obvious that Shang Zhi's conclusion was correct.However, in order to convince everyone, some investigation is needed to tell everyone the real data.

Fu Xi said: "Shang Zhi said that the clues are very important, and they may be the key to solving this problem. I will investigate carefully after I go back. You... don't have any close contact for now."

When he said that, he agreed with Shang Zhi's words out of ten.The three of them understood this, but they could only accept it.

After leaving Amu's house, Fuxi said: "After I go back, I will immediately find someone to investigate the families that gave birth to deformed children, and I will find evidence as soon as possible to prove what you said. What about you, do you want to go back to the divination master?"

Shang Zhi shook his head: "You go back first, I have something to do for the time being, if Yuan Qing asks about me, tell me that I will go home at night at the latest." He also wants to find the person who spread the rumors, let him know what to say Say, what should not be said.

Fuxi met his angry eyes, paused, and stopped persuading him.It was rare to see Shang Zhi so angry. It seemed that the man's slander against the fortune-teller really angered Shang Zhi.

One must know that Shang Zhi would not necessarily be so angry even if he was accused of that kind.

"Don't attack too hard." In the end, Fuxi casually persuaded him, and stopped meddling.

In a small room in the central area of ​​the Suiren tribe, a person woke up.The weather has turned hot recently, and many people have changed into thin linen clothes, but this man only wore a piece of animal skin around his body.

Qingxi got up, took a splash of water from the jar and washed his face. After feeling much refreshed, he poked his head out of the room door slightly, wanting to observe the situation outside.

I heard that the leader is going to investigate the deformed fetus with Dong Guan, and I don't know where he is now.

Qingxi touched his head, feeling a little disdainful.

The deformed fetus happened a long time ago, and the leaders of the various tribes couldn’t find a solution, or even the cause, and it could only be attributed to the ghosts. He didn’t believe it. find the truth.

Thinking of Shang Zhi, Qing Qing felt more jealous and resentful.

Shang Zhi himself may not know it, but Qing Xi knows that, in fact, the old jade craftsman wanted to select a child from the tribe to pass on his craft.Qingxi was lucky, and was among the candidates of the old jade craftsman with three others.As a result, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and the old jade craftsman picked up a wild child somewhere, and made that man his disciple.

No matter how unwilling Qing Xi was, there was nothing he could do.Fortunately, the old jade craftsman died within two years, and Shang Zhi became a lonely and helpless orphan, so Qingxi felt a sense of superiority.

At least there are still people in his family, but this Shang Zhi can only live by himself, and it is not certain whether he can live with the outside area.

But who knew that Shang Zhi was so lucky, survived year after year, and got Fuxi's attention.

Qing Xi hid in a dark corner, silently watching Shang Zhi's every move.Watching him live comfortably alone, with friends like Fuxi and Qingshi by his side.

The more he looked at it, the more unhappy Qingxi felt.

Later, Fu Xi succeeded as the leader and appointed Shang Zhi as the winter official. He also said that the sackcloth and many foods were discovered by Shang Zhi.

Qingxi didn't believe a word, Shang Zhi was an orphan, where did he get the resources to find those, it must be Fuxi deliberately giving him a good reputation.

After that, Shang Zhi was with the divination master again, which made Qingxi feel that his guess was right.

He can do this, there must be someone to help him.Otherwise, the way of men and women will not go, but stay with that man.

But before, Qingxi only dared to sarcastically say a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to say these words in front of Shang Zhi.The reason why he was willing to spread rumors this time was because someone exchanged food and clothes with him, and even promised him a winter official after Fuxi stepped down in the future, so Qingxi dared to spread rumors.

Ever since he became an adult, his family found that he couldn't lift his hands or shoulders, and he was a lazy man who couldn't work, so they separated him out by himself.It is difficult for Qingxi to even have a full meal. He just feels that the people around him have no eyesight and cannot see his talent. Now that someone finally promises him good food and clothing, he naturally has to work hard.

Qingxi thought he was clever, and soon discovered that the tribe's deformed fetus had a problem recently, and the leader couldn't solve it, so Qingxi secretly released the news.Although the divination master later said that the gods did not punish the Suiren tribe, who made him have some contact with Shang Zhi, so he only needed to use their relationship to deliberately discredit it, and it became a favoritism of the divination master.

According to his guess, in the past two days, if the leader still can't find a solution to the deformed child, it will be particularly unfavorable to the leader.

Thinking about it this way, Qingxi pursed her lips and wanted to see what was going on outside.

Thinking this way, Qingxi pushed open the door, and when she saw a cold face, her hands trembled in fright, and she almost closed the door again.

Standing outside the door was precisely Shang Zhi whom he was jealous and jealous of.

"Qingxi...you should be called this?" Shang Zhi's uncertain question stirred up Qingxi's anger.

Shang Zhi's tone clearly didn't take him seriously.With a gloomy face, he asked back: "Yes, I am Qingxi, I don't know why Lord Dongguan is looking for a small person like me?"

Before Shang Zhi built a fence outside the house, after he became a winter official, many people in the tribe also learned about it and saw the benefits of the fence, so they followed suit and built a fence around the door of their own house. lock up.But the fence is generally very short, so it can't block the sight of people around.

If there is something wrong with someone's house, everyone around can hear it.

Now that Shang Zhi found the famous lazy Qingxi in the tribe, everyone was a little surprised and wanted to see what they were going to do.

Shang Zhi didn't care about the onlookers, or he hoped that there would be more onlookers, so as to expose what this person did.

It is not difficult to find the person who spread the rumors. You only need to investigate and use a little magic to find the source of the rumors.So Shang Zhi just sneered when he saw that this person was still pretending to be stupid.

"I have some impressions of you." Seeing that Shang Zhi's words attracted Qingxi's attention, "Qingshi said that you used to speak ill of me to others, and I didn't care at the time. I didn't expect you to dare to hurt me by offering sacrifices to heaven. people."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Qingxi, even the onlookers couldn't keep up with their train of thought.

What's the meaning?Was this rumor spread on purpose?Just to harm Dong Guan?

The scorching gaze cast on Qing Xi's face, leaving him nowhere to escape.Qingxi didn't expect Shang Zhi to be so sensitive, but he also understood that of course he couldn't admit it at this time, so he changed his face and said angrily: "Even the official Dong can't slander people at will, right? Could it be that the problem can't be solved, so he can Just find someone to push the pot?"

Shang Zhi smiled lightly: "We already know the reason for the birth of the deformed fetus, and we will be able to tell everyone the answer in about two days. As for you, you said that you did not do anything to slander and sacrifice to heaven, so how dare you stand here in front of everyone?" Swear to God?"

As soon as these words came out, Qingxi's expression flickered instantly, and the words in his mouth were no longer coherent: "You... what... what did you swear?"

Seeing everyone's eyes becoming more and more suspicious, Qingxi suddenly thought of something, and retorted loudly: "Who knows if you will deliberately create some false appearances to deceive everyone, after all, everyone knows that your partner is..."

Shang Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Then Shang Zhi swears to the sky, if he blames you for the rumors by attacking you, he will be struck by lightning."

In the age of God, it is really possible to swear to God.There are more restrictions on monks. For ordinary people, if they are accidentally noticed by the gods, they will also be punished if they break their vows.

After Shang Zhi said this, many people believed him.

Shang Zhi continued: "Are you relieved now? If you don't dare, you should be guilty, then I have to take you to the leader and talk about it."

Facing everyone's oppressive eyes, Qingxi gritted her teeth and weighed the pros and cons in her heart.

In fact, swearing is not necessarily dangerous. After all, he is just a small person, and the gods have no time to pay attention to his oath.Even divination masters communicate with heaven and earth, don't they also need sacrifices?

Thinking of this, Qingxi persuaded himself temporarily, and then said with the corners of his mouth: "Just post it, anyway, I have a clear conscience. If I, Qingxi, deliberately spread rumors...to deceive everyone and slander the divination master and the leader, then let my god Bad mouth!" In the end, he still didn't dare to utter the oath that was so scary at first glance.

After a long while, Qingxi was not punished, he couldn't help feeling complacent, and felt that he had made the right move.Not noticing the horrified gazes of the people around and Shang Zhi's slightly surprised eyes, Qingxi was triumphant and wanted to fight against the general: "How, I..."

All the following words were swallowed down his throat, Qingxi's expression changed drastically, he stroked his mouth suddenly, and saw that the skin of his mouth began to swell and become bigger.Mouth pouted together, unable to utter a word.

What was even more frightening was that he felt scars suddenly appeared on his mouth. Qingxi touched them with one hand, and the piercing pain came from his mouth, which made him scream.

Seeing this scene, the people around were frightened and immediately moved away a few steps.

It's not over yet, this Qingxi didn't know what happened, suddenly lay on the ground and began to scream and roll, as if encountering an irresistible pain, and could only barely relieve the pain in this way.

The shrill scream made everyone's hair stand on end.

Then they saw that Qingxi seemed to have received some orders, and suddenly walked towards the center of the tribe step by step, kneeling, and could vaguely hear his vague apology: "I shouldn't lie——"

"I shouldn't have made up..."

The people around were scared and curious, hugged each other in twos and threes, followed him and watched his movements.

Shang Zhi also followed slowly, but he didn't pay too much attention to Qingxi, but was thinking about the incident just now.

He was pretty sure he didn't do it.Nothing is done.So Qingxi suddenly became like this, it is very likely that the oath came true, so he was punished like this.

But if every oath can be paid attention to by the gods, then the gods are too leisurely.

Unless, someone has been watching them.

Shang Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the Nine Heavens again.

In the Nine Heavens, all the immortal officials had originally punished the person who had the audacity to slander Shang Zhi and falsely preach the oracle, but when they suddenly met Shang Zhi's searching gaze, they couldn't help feeling tense.

"Does the Emperor of Heaven know that we are looking at him?"

"...Probably not, I'm just wondering why that person was punished."

"But we haven't violated the rules. We've been acting according to the law. That person did take an oath, and he slandered the heavens and punished the world at will. It's really hateful!"

Although part of the reason for this punishment was that the immortals in the Heavenly Court hated this man's nonsense and slandered the Emperor of Heaven, but they had been enduring it before and did not take any action. Now it was the human race who committed the crime in their hands and punished him.

Or Haotian said: "It is a good thing to see us, it means that the Emperor of Heaven has realized something is wrong, if he recovers his memory, he should come back."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was awakened.

That's right, if the Emperor of Heaven remembered this, wouldn't he be able to come back?

Because of this incident, the hearts of all the immortals in the heaven instantly opened up a lot.

In the tribal center, hearing the commotion outside, Fuxi hurried out, and saw someone knocking three times, explaining his sins.

At this time, the people in the tribe had already surrounded the place, all pointing and pointing.

Fuxi also gradually learned the cause and effect from their conversations.Thinking that when they were looking for a solution, this person used those children to fabricate rumors just to slander them, Fuxi was also furious.But you can't let this person just kneel like this, how scary.Fuxi thinks about it, he would have nightmares when he sleeps at night.

Fortunately, not long after he came out, Qingxi exclaimed, and then fainted on the ground.It's just that after today, the rumors about his nonsense slandering Shang Zhi and the others have spread throughout the tribe.

Many people who spread the rumors were a little scared, but fortunately in the end, they found out that the punishment was only for Qing Xi, the instigator, and they were relieved.

Shang Zhi stood on the outside watching this scene, but suddenly there was a kind of alienation around him that didn't seem to exist in this world.

When Yuan Qing came over, he saw this scene, and felt tense for some reason.Putting the Lingzhu into Shang Zhi's palm, seeing Shang Zhi looking back in surprise, and then smiling at him, Yuan Qing relaxed a little.

"What were you thinking just now?" Yuan Qing asked.

Shang Zhi shook his head, didn't say anything, but suddenly asked: "After this matter is settled, can you accompany me to the Sansheng Stone?" It is said that when Nu Wa created a human being, she put a small grain of water beside it. Stones, wait until the back, the small stones piled up into a stele.When the first marriage between heaven and earth appears later, and the six paths of reincarnation are established, the stele becomes the Three Lives Stone.

Hearing that the Sansheng Stone is not far from the Suiren tribe, and that it can see the past life, present life and future, Shang Zhi wanted to take a look.

In fact, when he met Chang Xi before, Shang Zhi felt that something was wrong.With Chang Xi's appearance, she clearly knew him.If he had only heard his name, it would be impossible for Chang Xi to recognize him as soon as they met, and later told him so many things about himself, what if there was something wrong with Shang Zhi's character?

Unless Fei Xi knows something about him.

In addition, Shang Zhi suddenly discovered that he actually didn't have the memories of the time before he was picked up by the old jade craftsman. He didn't think deeply about it before, but when he thinks about it now, he only feels blurred and can't see anything clearly.

Coupled with today's Qingxi incident, Shang Zhi finally made up his mind, he wanted to go to the Sansheng stone where it was said that he could see the Sansheng, and answer the doubts in his heart.

Yuan Qing's hands tightened suddenly, and he asked, "Why do you want to go there?"

Shang Zhi stared at him closely, and then said with a smile: "It is said that people's three lives can be seen there. So I want to see if our fate will continue to the next life. Don't you want to go?"

Yuan Qing shook his head: "It's nothing, since that's the case, let's go. It's just that we are monks, so we may not see anything."

"It's nothing, just go and have a look, it won't affect anything." Shang Zhi said, holding his arm.

Yuan Qing responded lightly, but always felt a little upset.After being with Shang Zhi, some scenes that he had never seen before appeared intermittently.

For example, when he was sitting with Shang Zhi and talking about things, Shang Zhi glared at him, and then only left him with an unhappy back.

Yuan Qing didn't know where these memories came from, but he also noticed something was wrong.

If those memory fragments are true, does Shang Zhi have the same doubts.

Did they... have a feud before?
