My Weird Life

  Chapter 613 Talking swords! (twenty two)

  The sky is bright.

  The morning sun sheds golden light, spreading golden scales on the river surface.

In front of the Wutong Ferry, several boats were tied to the shore, men, women and children gathered on the shore where the boats docked, or told the boatmen on board, or took out money, please go on a long journey. The boatman of the boatman helped him buy some rare items in the big city that could not be seen in the village.

  Outside the ferry,

  Under the river embankment, next to a row of thatched huts that have been in disrepair for a long time, villagers from various villages also gathered around the open space, and from time to time a mournful cry could be heard from the gathered crowd.

   "Sister Sun!

  This person is the wife of Zhang Erlang in Zhangjiazhuang—a few days ago I heard that she and her husband had a quarrel, so she went back to her natal family in the next village—unexpectedly, she also drowned in the Minjiang River!

  Hey, she's still pregnant..."

   "There are so many female corpses present, which one was not pregnant and drowned in the river?

  I think this is Jiang Longwang asking for sacrifices for us! "

   "What are you talking about here?!

who! Since you know this female corpse, hurry up to Zhangjiazhuang, inform that Zhang Erlang, and ask him to claim his wife's corpse! "

   "Okay, okay, I'll go!"

  On the open space, elders and elders from the surrounding villages were walking back and forth around the twenty female corpses placed on the open space, leaning on crutches.

  The white-haired elders in the village looked at the dead bodies on the ground with solemn eyes.

  The surrounding villagers gather and recognize each other,

   It didn't take long to identify the identities of all the female corpses on the ground except for the few Goulan women. Villagers have already helped run errands and went to each house to inform the news.

  The villagers here gathered more and more, and the noise became louder and louder.

   "These twenty female corpses are all pregnant!

   Pregnant, I don’t know what happened, just fell into the Min River and drowned! "The 'elder of Xiuliu Village' frowned and lowered his voice to talk to the elders of the Huang clan in Jinxi Village nearby.

   "Strange, strange.

  If the Dragon King of Minjiang swallowed pregnant women exclusively, wouldn’t the villages around us have their population withered in the future?

  Continuing on like this, maybe, our local four surnames, Chen, Huang, Zhao and Liu, may all have the possibility of extinction! "The old man of the Huang family in Jinxi Village was worried and thought about things further.

  The elders of the village gathered together and were talking to each other.

  The noise of the crowd gathered around exploded.

Someone pushed out the crowd and hurriedly asked several village elders: "Lizheng, old patriarch—my wife has also been missing for three or four days! I heard from them that the drowned female corpses on the ground were all pregnant women. Pregnant...

  My wife is also pregnant for more than two months,

  Could it be Jiang Longwang who ate her? ! "

   "My son's wife is also missing!

   Now there is a month of Shen Yun! "

   "Uncle Clan, what should I do?!"

   "Lizheng..."

  The panic that had accumulated to the climax was no longer suppressed by the villagers when someone announced it, and it exploded in an instant!

   People are panicking!

  Su Wu led Xianzheng and Xian one or two, standing in the corner behind the village elders. At this time, he heard the shouts of the surrounding villagers, and his brows were tightly frowned—as expected by him and his master,

  In many surrounding villages, there are many pregnant and missing women,

   They all probably drowned in the Minjiang River too!

  The twenty corpses on the ground are not all the living beings swallowed by the Minjiang River!

  All the village elders had never seen such an evil thing before. Looking at the shriveled female corpses on the ground, they were at a loss for a while, and finally turned their attention to the purple-robed Taoist in the corner—Su Wu.

  After Su Wu ordered Huang Liuzi to pass the news to the village elders,

   Everyone arrived in time, but they didn't pay attention to him as a young Taoist. They identified the corpses by themselves, called the villagers to claim them, and directly ignored the existence of Su Wu.

   Now that he really encountered a difficult problem, he thought of Su Wu instead.

  Su Wu didn't think it was disobedient.

  The surrounding land highly respects the red-headed master on the 'Tianwei Taoist Altar'. As a foreign Taoist priest, he is naturally not easy to recite scriptures when he first arrives. Now that he is involved in the situation, he also has the purpose of improving the current situation.

  Although the village elders didn't believe that Taoists from the "Beilu Mountain Sect" could solve the current affairs, they didn't dare to be too contemptuous towards Su Wu, and on the surface they still showed enough courtesy to Su Wu.

   After saluting, one of them hesitated and said: "Little Daoist, look at the current situation, what is going on?"

   "The top priority should be to count the number of missing people in the surrounding villages.

  Compile a list of pregnant women in various villages, take care of them, and warn them not to leave home. "Facing the hesitant eyes of several village elders, Su Wu directly put forward his own opinion.

"If that's the case, don't we care about those missing pregnant women?" A village elder frowned and asked Su Wu, "If this disaster is not eradicated, pregnant women will disappear every day in the villages around us, and Fujian will be drowned." Jiang's matter.

  If things go on like this, it is inevitable that the population will wither.

  The situation is more serious, maybe we have to leave our hometown and flee to other places! "

   "The purpose of counting the number of missing persons is to investigate whether the missing persons are all pregnant women and no males are missing, so that we can gather the young and strong from the village, patrol the villages, and take into account the safety of the villages.

  The purpose of compiling the roster is to better take care of those pregnant women.

  With this roster, targeted control can be carried out on those people who are more likely to disappear, and the waste of manpower can be avoided.

  Under such circumstances, if one person is missing, the situation can be brought under control in an instant, and more clues can be unearthed.

   Your Excellency has been working in Zhangzhuang Lizheng for many years, but don’t you even understand this principle? ! " Su Wu looked directly at Zhang Zhuang villager Zheng who frowned and questioned him, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

  Zhang Zhuangli was immediately overwhelmed by his aura, unable to speak for a long time.

  Jinxi Village was trying to smooth things over, and apologized to Su Wu with a smile: "Master Xiaodao, Master Xiaodao, I'm not questioning your plan, how about it—"

He glanced at the crowd gathered around, and shouted: "Jinxi Village has a few young and strong people from all surnames, bring an old gentleman who can read and write, and tell us if anyone in our village has disappeared recently? Or if you haven't returned after going out for many days?" Count it!

   In addition, find out how many women of childbearing age there are in the village,

   How many of them are pregnant, compile a roster, and bring it to me! "

  This 'Jinxi Villager Zheng' wanted to come to have a lot of prestige in the village. Not long after his words fell, more than a dozen young and strong men got their errands and left the crowd to go back to the village to do errands.

After ordering this matter in front of Su Wu, Zhengcai in Jinxi Village turned to Su Wu and continued, "Little Daoist, the method you proposed is indeed useful, but what I'm waiting for is—is there a more effective method? ?

  For example—grab the evil spirit directly behind, open the altar to kill it,

   Settle this once and for all? "

  Su Wu's expression turned pale, and he pretended to be confiding in Jinxi Village, and said: "Someone really has a plan in mind for the matter here."

  As soon as he said this,

  Everyone around pricked up their ears.

   Several village elders all set their sights on him.

"Presumably everyone is aware that these twenty female corpses were all salvaged by the poor Daoist and his disciples from the mouth of the Shaxi River to a certain section of the Minjiang River, and the cause of this incident was that Huang Liuzi of Jinxi Village capsized on the river. , encountered some strange things,

  Going to the Wutong Temple for help, I happened to meet my party.

  I immediately went to the riverside to investigate the situation, and only then did I salvage the twenty female corpses.

   Regarding the situation, Huang Liuzi should have talked to the village elders this morning.

  Someone might as well say more now.

  Lao Miaozhu was killed by gouging out his heart, and there was no trace of a sharp instrument tearing the flesh on his chest—the chest injury was not caused by human power, and it may be related to ghosts and gods!

  He served the Wutong God all his life, but now he died in the Wutong Temple.

  In this matter, the Wutong Temple is inseparable!

  Tianwei Dao Altar cannot be separated from the relationship!

   And the fact that many pregnant women drowned in the Minjiang River, I suspect that this matter is also inseparable from a certain god! "

  Nowadays, Su Wu's words are inevitably tainted with a little accent of Master Chilong, and he gradually begins to call himself "someone".

  As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately caused an uproar!

  Wutong God is widely worshiped in the local area, and the incense is not fading. This **** has long been closely related to various production and living activities of the local people. Naturally, they cannot accept Su Wu's statement.

  The elders of the village listened to the uproarious remarks of the surrounding villagers, and looked at Su Wu with subtle eyes.

Zhang Zhuang Lizheng, who was intimidated by Su Wu's aura just now, got courage support from the surrounding villagers, and said to Su Wu: "The old temple wished to die in the Wutong Temple, this matter should be brought out by Tianwei Dao Altar Clarify one or two, distinguish right from wrong.

   But this Taoist priest, you said that many pregnant women drowned in Minjiang, which is also deeply related to Wutongshen.

  What evidence do you have for this? "

"Do you know why the Goulan girls carried by Huang Liuzi were sold by the Goulan masters of the big county to the secret gates of the small town?" Su Wu glanced at the surrounding villagers who were showing hostility towards him, and suddenly said in a trembling voice .

  His words implicitly carried the endowment of "talking with swords and swords",

  It can make people listen to his words unconsciously.

  The villagers were at a loss for a moment, not knowing what Su Wu's question meant.

  All turned their eyes to him, waiting for him to say the answer.

   Zhang Zhuangli was squinting his eyes and asked, "What's the reason?"

   "Those Goulan women were pregnant at the same time!

They worshiped the Wutong God at the "Wutong God Parade" in the first month, and soon thereafter, each of them became pregnant—thinking that they were from prostitutes, the Goulan master was most jealous of them being pregnant, and could not make money for them. The stomachs of these prostitutes must be strictly guarded against, with a small check every three days and a big check every five days-but under such circumstances, these Goulan women are pregnant at the same time!

  Even after taking a few doses of miscarriage pills, the fetus in the womb was still not lost! " Su Wu said.

   "Even so, it doesn't mean that this matter is related to Wutongshen?

  Maybe, they were just unlucky, so they got pregnant with the guest's child? "In the crowd, someone asked hesitantly.

  Zhang Zhuangli was relatively close to Su Wu, and had been persuaded by Su Wu's words unconsciously, and did not raise any objections immediately.

  Su Wu looked at a young villager who was asking a question in the crowd, then glanced at the surrounding villagers, smiled suddenly, and asked: "Who have wives—may as well recall carefully,

   When was your wife pregnant?

  Not long before she conceived, did you both pay homage to the Wutong God? Did you also make a wish before the **** that you would give birth to an offspring as soon as possible? ! "

  What Su Wu said was originally intended to make use of his flair talent to make people around him subtly agree with his words.

   But he did not think,

  At the moment, his words of hidden speculation,

   But it hits the nail on the head!

  Among the surrounding villagers, many people's expressions suddenly changed!

   "This, this, this! How can this be done?!"

   "Master Taoist, real person!

  You save my wife and my child! "

   "I beg the priest to open the altar to save people!"

  Among the onlookers around, the men with families fell to their knees!

  They knelt down towards Su Wu, causing their parents, relatives, and followers to kneel down too!

   In just a moment,

  Only a few village elders were still standing in the arena.

   One of the village elders also fell to his knees suddenly!

  The village elder kowtowed repeatedly to Su Wu: "Master Daoist, my daughter-in-law is also pregnant—it was the old man who ordered them to offer incense and pray for a child in front of the Wutong God!

  Not long after offering incense, my daughter-in-law had a happy event! "
