The strong man sighed, took a kitchen knife and began to clean up the piece of meat on the chopping board, talking as he worked.
Kaoshan Town was originally a small village. Because it was close to Tianyin Mountain, and there were many medicinal herbs in the mountains, many people went to the mountains to collect herbs. In this way, the number of immigrants increased, and the permanent population of Kaoshan Town continued to increase.
Now there are hundreds of households, there are many businessmen coming and going, and the development is getting better and better.
But a few months ago, the red sedan appeared, and then accidents happened one after another, causing people to panic and people started to run out. The result is now like this. The thing is very simple.
The strong man's surname was Lu, and he was a butcher. His life was getting better and better, but now everyone ran away. This made Butcher Lu very angry. He had no other place to go, so he stayed. Maybe the butcher was murderous, and his family There's nothing wrong with living here.
"Are you sure someone saw this red sedan?" Ye Xu asked.
"Someone saw it! The red sedan only caught men, not women. Many women fainted when they saw the red sedan. Those women said it after they woke up." Butcher Lu said.
"Does this red sedan appear on the fifteenth day of every month?"
"I don't know about this. It's just that the first woman who saw the red sedan was on the fifteenth day of the month. I don't know if it happened before. After all, there was a lot of people in Kaoshan Town. Someone suddenly disappeared, and everyone noticed it. Nothing happened, so I thought I was out doing business, so I’m not sure what day it was.” Butcher Lu took a knife and chopped the meat into pieces.
"Where did it appear?"
"Maybe, just appear on the street."
"Oh, I see, aren't you scared? Why do you want to stay?" Ye Xu asked, everyone else ran away, why didn't the butcher run away?
"I don't believe in evil. I don't want to leave home, and I have nowhere to go." Butcher Lu slammed the knife on the chopping board with hatred in his eyes.
"I want to cut down the red sedan chair. I went out at night a few days after the accident and wanted to see what happened to the red sedan chair, but I never came across it." Butcher Lu's body emitted a burst of evil energy. This was produced by himself as a social animal all year round.
"Are there many people in the town who haven't left yet?"
"There are quite a few, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. They have no other choice and are not afraid of death, so they stay!" said Butcher Lu.
"Oh, that's it. We went to an old lady's house in the north end of town before, but she was hard of hearing. She couldn't hear me when I talked to her." Ziying listened carefully.
"Yes, that is Mrs. Liu. She lives alone. She is deaf and cannot hear what others say."
Butcher Lu's wife had already boiled the water and was carrying a porcelain pot to pour water for everyone. The little boy was hiding in the distance and watching the group of people. He had never seen so many gorgeously dressed and beautiful women hiding behind the Peeking aside.
"If you want to get rid of this red sedan, you must be careful. People from the Mingyue Sect came before and wanted to get rid of the red sedan, but the next day, the four people they came with disappeared." Butcher Lu reminded.
"Thank you! We will be careful." Ye Xu said.
"Which sect do you guys belong to? Can you see if my little hero can practice?" After talking to Ye Xu and others for a while, I saw that Ye Xu and others were easy to talk to and not as arrogant as other monks. Tufu Lu Dare to speak.
"We are from the Pingyang Sect. Let me see if this little brother has the qualifications to practice." Ziying immediately answered. She was very enthusiastic about the work of increasing staff.
Ziying came to Xiao Xia'er. The little boy Xia Er shrank in fear and looked timidly at the beautiful young lady in front of him. He had never seen such a beautiful young lady.
Ziying touched Xiao Xia'er's body decently, nodded and shook her head from time to time.
"Yes, it's okay, but my qualifications are limited, and it's difficult to achieve Heavenly Cultivation." Ziying said, stroking her chin like an adult.
Butcher Lu looked at Ziying with suspicion, feeling that it was unreliable. Why should a little girl see it? Shouldn't it be Ye Xu himself?
He looked up to Ye Xu, but now Ye Xu was still incomplete. He couldn't verify a person's qualifications at all. Even if he looked at it, he couldn't understand it.
"This is our deputy sect leader of Pingyang Sect!" Miao Xin spoke, and she could see Tufu Lu's suspicion.
"Deputy sect master?" Tufu Lu was surprised that such a young girl was actually the deputy sect master. Could it be that this was not a little girl but an old woman who had lived for hundreds of years? It's really amazing that he can maintain his childlike appearance. Butcher Lu's inner activities are very frequent.
"When we open the mountain gate to accept disciples, you can take him to our mountain gate." Ziying was already planning to open the mountain gate to accept disciples.
"I wonder where the gate of Guizong is?" Butcher Lu was very happy. It would be great if his children could practice. Becoming a monk was an ordinary person's dream.
"Duanshou Mountain!" Ziying said proudly.
"Duanshou Mountain?" Butcher Lu was dumbfounded. Isn't this place a forbidden area? These people are not here to fool me, are they?
"Duanshou Mountain is no longer a forbidden area, it is now the mountain gate of Pingyang Sect." Miao Xin began to explain.
"Oh, okay, I wonder when Guizong will open the mountain gate?" Butcher Lu asked hurriedly.
"I don't know about this. We will tell the world when we are done for a while. When you hear the news, you can go to Xiaoxia'er." Ziying showed off her deputy sect leader's style and said with a serious face.
"Then can I become a disciple now?" Butcher Lu wanted to establish the relationship immediately.
"This won't work. We still have things to do now. Besides, Xiao Xia'er's qualifications are not high. It is impossible to directly become the disciple of the sect master and deputy sect master. Just wait for our news." Ziying said rudely.
"Okay! Thank you all, immortals." Butcher Lu didn't know who the sect master was. He was still afraid of the monks, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He really wanted his son to go to Qingxu Mountain, but Qingxu Mountain's requirements were too high. It was harsh, and it was difficult to enter other sects. Now that he met a sect that said he could accept his son, he still hoped that this sect would be powerful.
"Everyone, please stay at my house tonight! I'll entertain you all." Butcher Lu planned to get close to each other.
"Brother Lu, don't bother us. We're going to check the town to see if we can find any clues." Ye Xu and the others were going to take a look around the town.
Butcher Lu did not dare to force him. Ye Xu and others went out to thank Butcher Lu, and a group of people walked on the empty road in the town.
It was getting dark, and there was nothing on the empty street. It was very quiet, except for the call of the nightingale in the distance.
Ye Xu and others found a few houses that had not yet left, and after making some inquiries, they found that they were similar to what Butcher Lu said.
"Brother, what should we do? Just wait outside?" Ziying was very concerned about this matter. She wanted to see the red sedan as soon as possible.
"Go to the inn in the middle of the town!" There is an inn in the middle of the town, but it is empty now and the shopkeeper has long since run away.
Ye Xu and others opened the door of the inn and prepared to rest in the lobby on the first floor of the inn. Ye Xu did not dare to disperse them in case the red sedan was really weird, so it was better to stay together.
When it got dark, Ye Xu lit all the lights in the inn and cooked dinner in the inn's kitchen. After dinner, Ye Xu sat in the hall on the first floor and acted as the shopkeeper. Ziying sat at the counter and prepared the dishes. Mr. Accountant and the others were sitting together chatting, and a few beds were brought down from upstairs. If they were tired, they could rest here.
The night began to get late, Ye Xu was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and practicing, while Ziying was very energetic, walking around the house, trying to get closer to the door to take a look outside.
"A little sleepy!" Li Yuning and Wu Siyan were a little tired.
"You guys should rest! I'll just keep an eye on you!" Ye Xu closed his eyes and spoke. Although they would be fine if they didn't sleep, they would be very exhausted.
"Okay! Let's sleep for a while first!" Wu Siyan and others rested.
"Why aren't you here yet?" Ziying was tired of waiting.
"Go to sleep!" Seeing that Ziying was a little tired, Ye Xu said.
"Okay! I'll lie down for a while! I'll let Little Yueya accompany you!" Ziying lay directly on the big chair behind the counter and pulled out the Moon Golden Wheel.
It was already midnight, and Ye Xu was the only one sitting there drinking wine in the inn, accompanied by a crescent moon. The dim candlelight swept away the blackness, and Ye Xu's shadow was reflected on the inn window.
The entire Kaoshan Town was completely dark, with only the inn in the middle of the town having lights, which was very conspicuous in the dark night.
The wind picked up, and the fallen leaves on the street were rolled up and made a huffing sound. The wind blew from one end of the town to the other, blowing on every street.
Ye Xu raised his head and looked at the closed door. There was wind.
The wind blew rapidly, blowing the leaves outside and the window paper of the house, and the candlelight swayed slightly.
The wind came and went quickly. After a huffing sound, it calmed down. There was no more movement outside. It was eerily quiet. The nightingales no longer cried and the insects disappeared.
"Are you coming?" Ye Xu stared at the door and muttered to himself.
The golden moon wheel made a slight golden sound, as if to warn.
"Ziying!" Ye Xu shouted, but Ziying slept deeply and did not wake up.
"You protect them, I'll go out and take a look!" Ye Xu said to Yue Jinlun.
The moon gold wheel shook and began to slowly rotate back and forth in the inn, starting to perform its protection mission.
Ye Xu opened the door gently, walked out, and closed the door behind him.
There is a half-full moon in the sky, and the moonlight shines on the earth. Even though it is night, you can still see things under the moonlight.
The inn was in the center of the town, at the northeast corner of an intersection. Ye Xu looked at the north and south streets, but there was nothing there.
Looking towards the east-west street, there was no one to the east. Looking back to the west, Ye Xu's eyes wrinkled slightly.
I saw a lamp emitting red light slowly drifting from west to east on the road. If I looked carefully, I found that the lamp was hanging above the red curtain of the sedan.
The sedan seemed to be very slow, but it seemed to be flashing. Every time it swayed, it suddenly appeared a few meters ahead.
Although Ye Xu was confident, seeing this, the hairs on his hair stood up and his scalp was a little fried. After all, there were many ghost stories in Blue Star. The things were not scary, but the atmosphere was a bit scary.
After calming down, Ye Xu walked to the crossroads with his hands behind his back and looked at the red sedan that was getting closer and closer.
The red sedan stopped when it was still a few feet away from Ye Xu. Only then did Ye Xu see clearly that the light was a red lantern, emitting red light. The bright red sedan curtain became even brighter red under the light of the red lantern. The red sedan The bar seemed to be stained with blood.
Ye Xu stood there motionless, staring at the red sedan. The sedan did not move, only the red lantern swayed from time to time.
