Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 556 555. Born Here, Died Here

Sanliang Mountain is an extension of Taihang Mountain.

Extended to the east of the river.

And it was about two days away from Hejin City.

This way, Li Zhen and the others did not walk fast, not that they were not in a hurry, but that Du Ruhui had to do some other things.

He is a county lord, so it's not easy to put everything on his elder brother.

So passing by some villages and towns, I always have to go and have a look.

The so-called heavy codes in troubled times, the current situation in Hedong is actually a tight high-voltage line, there is no chaos on the surface, but people are panicking secretly.

He had to show an attitude, that is, Hedong did not give up on them.

At the same time, it is also necessary to make sure...the township laws controlled by the elders can spread the greatest degree of fairness to everyone.

No, when passing by a place called Dahuaishu Village, something happened.

it's actually really easy.

When a group of people entered the village, Du Ruhui summoned the villagers and told them that the sheriff was trying to find ways to raise food and other news to calm people's hearts.It was nothing at first, but after Lao Du finished telling the news, he asked if some injustice happened. If it happened, tell it, and I will make the decision.

On the surface, no one said.

Everyone is one hello, hello, hello, everyone.

That being the case, let's go.

The carriages and officials were ready to start again.

But who would have thought that as soon as he walked out for less than a mile, the officer behind heard a shout.

Turning around, a young woman with delicate features was chasing after her.

Du Ruhui ordered the woman to be brought over and asked what was the matter.It was learned that... the woman's name was "Liu Shi", and her husband was recruited by Wu Duan'er and became a traitor.And the village head of Dahuaishu Village has a silly son. The village head decided without authorization and asked her to remarry into the family and carry on the family line for his family...

As a result, the silly son couldn't pass it on, and the village head personally... wanted to humiliate her body, but she refused and forced her to die. The village head had no choice but to lock her up.

Today, she escaped while the Master Master was summoning the villagers...

I beg the master to make the decision for her.

Old Du has a temper and is jealous of evil.

After hearing this, he immediately ordered the chariots and horses to turn around, and the twenty officials came back to the village viciously and arrested the village chief who had just shouted to support the governor.

There is no need to talk about the details of the case involving ethics. In the end, Lao Du followed Da Sui's law and ordered five police officers to suppress this apparently kind but animal-faced old man to Hejin, where he was detained pending trial.

While Du Ruhui was trying the case, Li Zhen noticed that when the village chief was sentenced, these villagers did not have any pleasure in "the bully being eliminated", but looked at the woman who was protected by the officials with cold eyes.

I don't know if it's the poor people who come out of the poor mountains and rivers, or it's because the village chief has a lot of prestige in the village although he doesn't cultivate his personal morality.

Can't figure it out.

But if things go on like this, even if the village chief falls, there probably won't be a place for this woman in Dahuaishu Village with the same surname and family.

So Li Zhen whispered to Du Ruhui a few more times.

The escort team changed from 5 people to 6 people.

One more person took this chaste and fierce girl back to Hejin, and arranged a servant in the city lord's mansion.

For the time being, that's all.

In an instant, there were only a dozen or so left in the team of twenty.

Li Zhen, who seemed to understand the difficulty of his parents and officials, didn't say much, and left the village again amidst the villagers' attitudes.

Old Du did nothing wrong.

The crowd continued on their way.

From Hejin to Sanliang Mountain, I walked for three days.

After three days of eating and sleeping in the open air, when I came to the foot of Sanliang Mountain, I finally got relief.

There is a pool at the foot of Sanliang Mountain, which is formed by the accumulation of spring water on the mountain.

A group of people, including Li Zhen, who had been driving for a few days in the scorching summer and were already a little sleepy, stood by the pool in loincloths and took a refreshing bath.

Even Xuanzang is no exception.

The monks at this moment are no longer wearing white clothes, but replaced by an ordinary gray monk's robe.

The appearance has also dropped a little.

But it's true that we haven't been handsome old Li.

A group of people washed and refreshed, lit a fire to cook food, and dried clothes.

Right next to the water pool, there is no sign of hiding the figure.

Especially at night, I lit a big bonfire, cooked two large pots of porridge with a few smoked fish, wild vegetables and dry biscuits that had begun to age in summer, and ate it with a slurping, slurping, and delicious meal.

And after resting for the whole night, early the next morning, Du Ruhui, who had informed the people in the mountain in advance of our arrival, led the way into the mountain.

As soon as he turned over a gentle slope, Li Zhen saw dozens of corpses on the side of the road that had decomposed to the point where mosquitoes were flying all over the sky.

Just when I was about to take a look, I heard Du Ruhui say:
"Master Dao, that thing of yours is what I got from these people."

"..."

Li Zhen was taken aback and asked:

"These people... were you killed?"

"Well. At that time, there was no time to dispose of the corpses, so they were piled together. This group of people was fighting for that thing. As a result, after we appeared, they rushed towards us indiscriminately, as if we were insane. There is no way, we can only Beheaded on the spot. It seems...the weapons seem to have been taken away."

Du Ruhui shook his head slightly. Obviously, seeing these rotting corpses now, he didn't feel very happy.

And at this moment, Cheng Xuanying in the carriage suddenly pulled the corner of the teacher's clothes:
"teacher."

"Ok?"

"If the corpse is not disposed of, there may be a plague...or...the disciple should set it on fire."

Although there was some fear in Xiao Daotong's eyes, it came from the compassion of the practitioners, and he still couldn't bear to see these corpses rotting in the wilderness.

There was no need for Li Zhen to answer. After hearing this, Xuanzang sang the Buddha's name and said softly to his little flute:

"Okay, take me there for the teacher."

The two of them flew out and landed next to the horrible corpse that had been infested by these mosquitoes and maggots had already appeared.

The monk sat down, and the scriptures of compassion and rebirth echoed in the mountains and forests.

But Xiaodaotong resisted the discomfort, and took out a stack of yellow paper from the cloth bag.

Neither blood, nor cinnabar.

Holding the sword and chanting plausible words in his mouth, after a while, his fingers sketched a few pens on the yellow paper, pinched and flung them out:
"Fire Talisman! Edict!"

A blank yellow talisman came naturally out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a passive sky fire, which landed on the corpses piled up in one place.

It burned quickly.

But at the next moment, Xuanzang suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although the sound of the scriptures did not stop, there was a phantom of a golden bowl in his hand, and he turned towards the corpse.

"Buzz!"

"Bang!!!"

The sound of explosion suddenly exploded, and countless flesh and blood maggots turned into meat paste, and exploded onto the golden phantom.

"what!!"

Dao Tong staggered, obviously frightened.

But he was supported by the second teacher, and he patted his back gently:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is a corpse explosion. When the weather is hot, the dead soul has been away from the body for a long time, and it is caused by resentment in the heart. This explosion will eliminate the resentment and go to bliss."

"Uh……"

Xiao Daotong's face was pale.

The whole body is trembling.

The officials who heard the movement were also a little uneasy.

However, following Xuanzang's explanation, he was relieved.

But Li Zhenna has a more scientific explanation.

The weather is hot, and the human body seals the flesh and blood to rot to produce methane gas, which detonates in case of fire...

But obviously this statement is not as good as Xuanzang.

So he didn't say a word, but the Taoist mantra of rebirth was integrated with the Buddhist scriptures, echoing in the mountains and forests.

The fire was raging.

Soon, black smoke rose into the sky.

Then, only the blackened bones remained.

"People live their whole life...from being born to dying in a foreign land...in the end, they are nothing but bones. Alas..."

Du Ruhui sighed.

Li Zhen didn't answer, but just waved his hand. The golden light formed a huge golden shovel, and with the cooperation of the earth's veins, a deep pit was formed when it was shoveled down.

With another shovel, the bones were shoveled up and filled in.

Finally, the dirt cover.

The earth is also like ancient times, buried countless love, hatred, conspiracy and deceit in the world, but no words have been spoken.

Born here, raised here, and finally... rested here.

This is the greatest tenderness it gives to the world.

And when the little apprentice came back, seeing his flustered look, Li Zhen touched his head with a smile:
"well done."

Fear is an instinctive emotion.

But under the fear, still abide by the duty, that is compassion.

The character of his apprentice, at least in Li Laodao's opinion, has surpassed many others.

And maybe it was because of the black smoke soaring into the sky, or maybe people had discovered them a long time ago.After everyone continued to move forward for about 300 meters, a dozen or so unkempt-looking men appeared not far from them with knives in hand.

After Du Ruhui glanced at it, he jumped out of the carriage and shouted:

"I am Du Ruhui, the supervisor of Hedong, do you still remember?"

The men nodded immediately, with an inexplicable look on their faces.

And one of them shouted:
"Master Du, it was the Sergeant Cao who ordered me to come and pick him up. It's just that the mountains are rough and difficult to walk, and the chariots and horses of your lord..."

"Let's take care of the poor monk where he is. Just to appease Xuanying, how about it?"

Xuanzang took the initiative to stand up.

Hearing this, Du Ruhui nodded:
"Alright. Then... Taoist priest, how about just you and me going?"

"it is good."

Seeing that Li Zhen agreed, Du Ruhui said to the officials again:

"You guys stay here too."

"Yes."

After giving the order, Du Ruhui took the volume of appeasement order written by Du Weiyong himself, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a bag of grain seeds in Li Zhen's hand.

Good buddy, there is a tacit understanding.

Needless to say, Du Ruhui guessed what the Taoist priest was going to do.

At this time, Xuanzang called out the Buddha's name:
"Flowers bloom to see the Buddha~"

Opening his pocket and taking a look at the sprouts of wheat, Li Zhen nodded:
"Let's go."

The two of them came in front of the dozen or so men in rough clothes.

Seeing that although they were a little thin, they didn't look like they had disheveled faces, Li Zhen reckoned that there should be no shortage of food in this mountain.

At this time, I heard Du Ruhui say:
"There are many people hidden in Sanliang Mountain, but because Wu Duan'er was not a regular army back then, most of these people were mainly from the troops they belonged to at that time, and they were not intrusive. The one we are going to meet now should be the one I met last time Wang Juncao. Right? Everyone?"

"……Um."

Several men nodded, but they didn't say much, just cupped their hands:

"Two, please."
