Taiping Inn

If Su Yunjiao could receive praise from the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal just now, even if she didn't say it on her face, she would definitely feel proud in her heart, but now she was a little sighing.

In the past, her sister always said: "People come in all shapes and sizes." "A big forest has all kinds of birds." She had never felt deeply, thinking that people in the world were either black or white, but today she discovered that between black and white, there is another kind of people. To say that they are evil people is not to say that they are just ordinary people on weekdays, but to say that they are good people is to tarnish the word "good". Such people want a good reputation, but they are not afraid of evil deeds. Compared with those real evildoers, they just lack the capital to do evil.

Li Xuandu saw her expression and could probably guess most of it, but he didn't want to persuade her. Newcomers who have just entered the Jianghu always think that the Jianghu is a place of free and unrestrained, with white clothes like snow, coming and going like the wind, drinking and eating meat in big bowls, and drawing swords to do justice. People who enter the Jianghu with this idea will most likely be hit hard by the Jianghu, and all their fantasies will be shattered in an instant, leaving only the cold reality.

After being in the Jianghu for a long time, from being a rookie to an old Jianghu, you will gradually understand that this kind of free and unrestrained Jianghu does exist, but it only belongs to a very small number of people. Most people are rolling in the mud, just like in a big lake, there may be only two or three angry dragons turning over the river, and the dragon covering the sea is only in legends. The majority are mud loaches and small fish and shrimps.

Jianghu is a place of heroes, but not a good place. Some people say that "chivalry" comes first in the Jianghu, but it is only limited to talking. People who believe this sentence but do not have enough ability to practice it will most likely be miserable. The spring breeze and peaches in the Jianghu are ultimately a minority, and most are still cold lights and rain at night.

After walking aimlessly for a while, Su Yunjiao stopped, looked at Li Xuandu, and asked, "Where are we going next?"

Li Xuandu did not answer, but pointed to a place not far ahead.

Su Yunjiao looked over and saw a well built of blue bricks with a wheel on it. Many people were waiting to draw water around the well.

But after a closer look, she found something wrong. These people did not seem to be waiting to draw water, but were pointing and talking around the well.

"It seems something is wrong. Let's go and take a look," Li Xuandu said, and walked towards the well.

Su Yunjiao hurriedly followed behind.

The two squeezed into the crowd and looked inside. They saw that the well water seemed to be boiling water, bubbling up. Someone used the wheel on the well to draw a bucket of water. The well water, which should have been clear, turned into a turbid earthy yellow, as if someone had poured a lot of loess into the well.

Although Su Yunjiao didn't have much experience in the martial arts world, as a disciple of the Cihang Sect, she knew that this was unusual and couldn't help but look at Li Xuandu.

Li Xuandu had no expression on his face, but invisibly, there was still a bit of heaviness between his brows. He slowly stepped forward a few steps and touched the long rope wrapped around the wheel of the well platform with his fingers. After being soaked in the well water, the long rope was a bit cold. Li Xuandu put his fingertips under his nose and sniffed. There was a faint odor like a rotting corpse.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that well water can lead to the underworld, so the well water has a very heavy yin energy, which is not as good as rainwater, spring water, and lake water. It has always been considered inferior in the tea ceremony. However, no matter how strong the yin energy of ordinary well water is, it is not so strong. Yin energy is originally an illusory thing and unpredictable, but at this time, the yin energy is so strong that it is almost real, which will turn the well water into a yellowish earth color.

Where does this kind of yin energy come from?

A middle-aged scholar suddenly appeared in the crowd and said with a smile: "The water in the well must be boiled, but you can't steam buns."

Li Xuandu turned his head and looked at the scholar.

The scholar smiled at Li Xuandu and said: "The disaster is coming, why don't you leave quickly?"

"Who are you?" Li Xuandu was shocked.

The scholar opened the folding fan in his hand with a "snap" sound, fanning gusts of breeze, smiling without saying a word.

The people who were watching seemed to have heard nothing of this scene, as if they had not seen it.

Su Yunjiao pressed the hilt of the sword and rushed towards the man.

But the result was that Su Yunjiao rushed past without touching the man at all.

Li Xuandu walked out of the crowd and said to Su Yun'an: "Don't waste your energy. It's the 'clone method' in the 'Yin Shen Dafa'. His real body is not here."

The middle-aged scholar shook his folding fan and said: "Suddenly I saw a fire chain in the sky, as if the Jade Emperor wanted to eat tobacco. If the Jade Emperor doesn't eat tobacco, why is there another fire chain? I also saw a strange mouth on the ground, because Yama wants to eat people. If Yama doesn't eat people, why is there another mouth?"

When the voice fell, the sky suddenly darkened.

Li Xuandu and Su Yunjiao looked up and saw that the sky was surging, and countless black clouds gathered from all directions to the county town, covering the sky and the sun.

Just now it was still clear, but in a blink of an eye, it was about to rain heavily. At the same time, the rumbling of thunder came faintly from the black clouds, and lightning flashed.

I think this is the so-called "fire chain", but I don't know where the second half of the sentence "Yan Luo opens his mouth" will come true.

When the two of them retracted their gaze, the figure of the middle-aged scholar had disappeared.

"Brother Li..." Su Yunjiao looked at Li Xuandu worriedly.

Li Xuandu shook his head: "Your sister is right, things have become complicated. In the martial arts world, complexity means thorns and troubles. Beimang County is very close to Beimang Mountain, and Beimang Mountain has always been the power of Zaoge Sect, so this matter must be related to Zaoge Sect."

At this moment, there were still people on the well platform who didn't believe in evil and put the bucket into the well.

If the water from this well cannot be used, then you have to go to the wells elsewhere, which will cost money. Or you will go to the river outside the city to carry water, which will make you exhaust yourself.

After a while, the man turned the wheel and lifted the well water up.

Everyone gathered around and looked, then heard a scream, and the bucket fell to the ground and spilled all over the floor.

This time the well water was not earthy yellow, but turned into dark red, like thick blood. After the bucket was knocked over to the ground, the dark red well water slowly meandered on the ground, and then gradually gradually became like blood. solidification.

All the people waiting to fetch water suddenly dispersed. In just a moment, only an empty bucket was left lying beside the well platform, with blood beads dripping from the edge of the bucket.

Li Xuandu reached out and pressed the "cold beauty" on his waist and walked back towards the well platform.

Before you get close, you can smell the fishy smell coming out of it and the deep coldness hidden in the fishy smell.

Li Xuandu leaned over and looked into the well, and saw that the well water turned into blood, rolling endlessly, and several blood bubbles popped out from time to time, just like the blood pool hell in the eighteen levels of hell.

Li Xuandu said in a cold tone: "What a big deal, it is to use the lives of people in the city to sacrifice their evil skills. It is really worthy of being the Zaoge Sect that made thousands of ghosts come to pay tribute to them back then. It is really awesome. "" ""

Speaking of this, Li Xuan was already showing some anger, "What a Zaoge Sect! What a Tibetan old man on the fourth place in Taixuan List!"

Su Yunjiao followed Li Xuandu closely, pressing the sword with one hand and covering his mouth and nose with the other, and said in a muffled voice: "Aren't people who do this evil act afraid of being punished by God?"

Li Xuandu retracted his gaze and said, "If they were afraid of being punished by God, they would not have done this. Throughout history, it would not be said to be a small county town, and even if a state is slaughtered into nine out of ten empty houses, it has happened. After all, how could there be any punishment from heaven? The Supreme Taoist ancestor said: "The heaven and earth are not kind and regard all things as straw dogs, and the sages are not kind and regard the people as straw dogs. "This sentence does not mean that heaven and earth are not kind, but that heaven and earth do not mean that benevolence and not benevolence. Heaven and earth treat all things in the world equally. Since livestock and plants can die, why can't people die? Heaven and earth have never given heavenly punishment because of people killing plants, so heaven and earth will not give heavenly punishment because of today's affairs."

Su Yunjiao studied Buddhism and practiced Taoism in Cihang Sect since she was a child, so she naturally understood this truth and asked, "What should we do? Do we still have to find that Mrs. Lu?"

Li Xuandu said: "There is priority for the matter. In the current situation, it is no longer the key to finding Mrs. Lu. The key is..."

"What is it?" Su Yunjiao couldn't help asking.

Li Xuandu sighed: "Save your life first."
