Mystery: From adding points to the strongest on the surface

Chapter 49 Master Ford, Li Family Village Massacre!

Dusk is approaching.

Fan Wu held a parchment scroll in his hand, on which was drawn a crude map of the southern county of Great Zhou.

There are not too many labels on the map.

There are only names of counties and towns, and simple routes.

He relied on this thing to find his way, all the way from Yunlong County to Baihe County, and then to the place where he was resting for a short time.

"Go east for about a day, and you will arrive at Yinghe Mansion."

Fan Wu put away the sheepskin scrolls properly, and when he arrived at Yinghe Mansion, he only needed to go north for a while...

He will be able to reach the county mansion in South County, and he will be able to find his righteous sister.

Fan Wu stood up slowly.

He patted his pants.

Just as he was about to continue on his way, he heard the sound of gongs and drums beating.I even heard a very penetrating sound, like the sound of a suona-like instrument.

Fan Wu walked in that direction.

It's not that he likes to watch the excitement, but that direction is the only way he must pass to Yinghe Mansion.

After all, his map only showed one route.

Fan Wu could only follow its route.

Go some way.

Fan Wu saw a village in front of him, and it seemed to be a large village.Rows of densely packed houses and patches of reclaimed farmland came into view.

He also sees people.

A lot of people.

These people should be local mountain people.

Fan Wu could clearly smell the smell of burning incense candles in the air.

In the sound of beating gongs and drums...

You can also vaguely hear someone reciting prayers and scriptures.

This is at……

Sacrifice?

……

There are hundreds of people gathered in the village ahead, most of them are ordinary villagers, including men and women, old and young.

What they have in common is that they all have a little sadness and a little daze on their faces.

There is a six-foot-high statue of the deity, which is placed on an incense stand.

All the villagers turned their attention to the statue.

There is more or less expectation and hope in their eyes, as if they are seeking the blessing of that god statue.

In front of the statue, there are not only a lot of slaughtered and cooked cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, but also a lot of melons, fruits and desserts.

A censer as big as a tripod was filled with a large number of incense candles.

Every incense stick is burning slowly.

Green smoke curls.

blowing with the wind.

I saw an old man who walked tremblingly, holding a pottery bowl in his left hand and a willow branch in his right hand.

He stepped on an unskilled special step, while dipping a willow branch into the water on the pottery bowl, and splashing the water around.

With a strange tone in his mouth, he kept chanting a sentence: "Master Ford, please bless me..."

"Master Ford, please bless me..."

"Master Ford, please..."

After the old man spilled all the water in the pottery bowl, he carefully placed the willow branches and the pottery bowl on the incense stand.

Then he took a large handful of incense sticks and lit them all.

Enduring the billowing smoke billowing hot eyes and choking nostrils, the old man tremblingly turned towards the four directions of southeast, northwest, and bowed respectfully once each.

however.

next moment!
A gust of strange wind came from nowhere, and the old man suddenly lost his balance and fell down.

A large handful of incense candles in his hand also fell to the ground, and most of those incense candles were extinguished.

"Lizheng!"

"Rizheng, are you alright?"

The surrounding villagers were shocked when they saw this scene, and they wanted to step forward to help the old man up.

The old man waved his hand suddenly.

Signal no.

His old face full of wrinkles and age spots was full of sadness and sighing emotions.

He sat on the ground and hesitated for a while, before he said under the eyes of everyone: "The wind just now didn't blow out of nowhere, the old man was asking for the protection of Lord Ford."

"It was a coincidence that a gust of wind knocked me to the ground at this moment. This can only mean...Master Ford can't help us."

"It's also possible...Master Ford thinks that our hearts are not pious enough. We can't stay here any longer. Let's move out of this place after a few days..."

"Ugh……"

The old man sighed again and again as he spoke.The wrinkles on the whole person's face became deeper, as if they had aged several years.

The posture is also more stooped.

"Lizheng, didn't the people from the imperial court say that they will handle this matter well?" Someone among the villagers said in a low voice: "Maybe we can wait for them to settle the matter, and then we will settle the matter." Don't you need to move out?"

"That's right!" Someone also echoed: "We are all poor mountain people. We don't have a few grains and copper coins at home. Where can we move?"

"But... It's not like the big guys don't know about the weird things that happened in the Lijia Village next door in the past few months. Moreover, our Niejia Village has also shown signs of being implicated in recent days! In the first three days or two in the village, there were serious illnesses. Who can stand it?"

"That Qin Tiansi hasn't come to our place for quite a while, and they probably have nothing to do!"

"Hey, let's listen to Lao Lizheng...the village can't wait anymore. The Lijia Village next door is dead!"

"..."

The voices of the villagers moaning and sighing were slightly noisy.

The statue enshrined by them should be the fairy god named "Master Ford" in the old man's mouth.

Fan Wu led an old green bull and walked towards Nie's Village in front of him without haste.

The trampling sound of the old green cow's hoofs is relatively clear.

Some of the sharp-eared villagers of Niejia Village looked back wonderingly.

at once.

They froze!
In the eyes of these generally sallow and thin villagers, Fan Wu's sturdy body is undoubtedly like a moving pagoda.

It shocked them all!
The aura of killing a large number of strange things in just a few days made the few villagers who turned around and saw Fan Wu almost stagnate.

"Li... Lizheng, there is an outsider coming!" One of them swallowed secretly and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Suddenly, a person looked back.

A series of astonished gazes fell on Fan Wu.

Immediately after...

It was the sound of gasping for air.

The sounds of beating gongs, drums and suonas also stopped suddenly at this time.

The whole scene suddenly fell silent.

It was so quiet that even the breathing of others could be faintly heard.

The old Lizheng from Nie's Village barely stood up at this moment.

He pushed aside the crowd and looked outside the village.

I saw Fan Wu.

"Hiss!" Although Lao Li had been alive for seven or eighty years, he had a lot of experience, but it was the first time he saw such a tall person.

However, compared to other villagers, Lao Lizheng was much calmer.

Perhaps it was because he knew he didn't have many years to live.

in this case……

There is no need to be afraid of anything.

"This Daoist..."

Lao Li's tone of voice reminded him politely and kindly: "Nie's Village has not accepted outsiders into the village for the past few months. The past few months in the village... has been a little unsafe."

"Please, Taoist priest, take a detour."

"..."
