Mystery: Evildoer! What Do You Know?

　　The person sitting next to Lin Yi said in surprise when they saw Er Halang's appearance.

　　"Little brother, your dog looks a bit majestic!"

　　Lin Yi smiled.

　　"Don't look at his majesty, but he is a little timid. When he sees a lot of people, he will be cowardly."

　　Because Erha Lang can't understand human words, he has no idea that his reputation has been damaged.

　　He is a wolf, how could he be cowardly when he sees a lot of people.

　　The person sitting next to Lin Yi saw Erha Lang obediently lying at Lin Yi's feet, and felt that it was really what Lin Yi said.

　　"That's fine. He will be more obedient when he is brought to a place where there are many people, and he will not jump up and down."

　　Lin Yi nodded.

　　"It seems that Xiongtai is a dog lover?"

　　The person sitting next to him quickly waved his hand and said modestly.

　　"There are a few local dogs near my house. I have been in contact with them for a long time, and I only understand some of the dog's habits."

　　Lin Yi felt that it was quite comfortable to get along with this brother, and he seemed to be a gentle person.

　　"I haven't asked Xiongtai what to call it?"

　　Hearing Lin Yi being so polite, the man quickly cupped his hands.

　　"My surname is Wang, I'm a rough guy."

　　Lin Yi also briefly introduced himself.

　　"My surname is Lin. I passed by this place today to go north."

　　The man surnamed Wang looked at Lin Yi's clothes and asked hesitantly.

　　"Brother Lin looks like a cultivator?"

　　In the memory of the man surnamed Wang, there are very few times when there is intersection between practitioners and ordinary people.

　　Most of the cultivators looked aloof, so he couldn't help but sit further away.

　　Lin Yi guessed the consideration in his heart and explained with a smile.

　　"I am indeed a practitioner, but I am the most inconspicuous one in the cultivation world."

　　"Brother Wang, don't look at me dressed like this, in fact, I just don't want to look different from other practitioners."

　　The man surnamed Wang breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he also felt that Lin Yi was very easy to get along with. Hearing him say that, he became a little closer.

　　While the two were chatting, a blind old man walked slowly to the stage in the middle of the teahouse with a cane.

　　The teahouse, which was still full of people, gradually became quiet.

　　Lin Yi couldn't help but look at the stage.

　　Knowing that Lin Yi had just arrived in this city, the man surnamed Wang explained kindly.

　　"This old gentleman is a storyteller in this teahouse."

　　"If it weren't for the old gentleman, the business of this teahouse would not be so good. Everyone is here for him."

　　Lin Yi nodded suddenly, it seems that this old gentleman should have some skills.

　　"Then I'll have to listen carefully to see how good the old gentleman's technique is and how he can attract so many people."

　　The man surnamed Wang smiled and shook his head.

　　"Brother Lin may not know something, this old gentleman does not rely on technology, but on his story."

　　Then Lin Yi was even more looking forward to it.

　　It didn't take long for the old man to speak slowly.

　　"Today, let's talk about a story about the Wanyang Sect on the Tibetan Mountain outside the city."

　　Everyone sat up attentively, and the man surnamed Wang also took a look at Lin Yi's reaction.

　　It turned out that Lin Yi was not as excited as he had imagined, and even started to nibble on melon seeds.

　　The man surnamed Wang patted his head before he remembered a key question.

　　"Brother, you may not know, our Wanyang Sect here is a bit different from other sects."

　　Lin Yi raised his eyebrows with respect.

　　"What's the difference?"

　　The man surnamed Wang explained to him while watching the old gentleman on the stage.

　　"In other places, there is a separation between the sect and the towns where ordinary people gather."

　　"But Wanyangzong is different. Many things here are under their control."

　　"Someone's family wants to file a grievance, or if there is a murder case, they must report to Wanyang Sect, and then the sect will send someone to solve it."

　　"Or, if there is a famine and there is no food in the city, Wanyang Sect will also come to distribute food to everyone."

　　"Anyway, for us, Wanyang Sect is not only a sect, but also the manager of this city."

　　It was the first time Lin Yi heard of such a situation, he asked curiously.

　　"Aren't these things all the people sent by the imperial court to take care of? Why is a sect in charge now?"

　　The man surnamed Wang explained patiently.

　　"Originally, the imperial court sent someone to take care of it, but a strange thing happened in the city a few years ago, and it was only suppressed by Wanyangzong."

　　"At that time, the people in the city were very convinced of Wanyang Sect, and the court simply reached a cooperation with Wanyang Sect and handed over the jurisdiction of our city to Wanyang Sect."

　　Lin Yi nodded suddenly, although it sounds a little strange, the whole story still makes sense.

　　Then the man surnamed Wang talked about the reason why the old man attracted so many people's attention as soon as he opened his mouth.

　　"So we won't arbitrarily evaluate things about Wanyangzong."

　　"Not to mention the story of Wanyangzong to tell a story."

　　Lin Yi looked at the old man on the stage, and then asked a question that had nothing to do with the call the man surnamed Wang said just now.

　　"How is this old gentleman blind?"

　　The man surnamed Wang was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

　　"Speaking of which, I really don't know that."

　　"The old gentleman was not from our city before. When we saw him, he had been blind for a long time."

　　Lin Yi nodded noncommittally, and then the old gentleman on the stage finally started to get to the point.

　　"The story I'm going to tell next, I'm sure many people in the city have heard of it."

　　"A few months ago, strange things happened again in the city, and girls disappeared one after another."

　　"In the end, it was Wanyangzong who took action to find those girls back."

　　"But sadly, those girls have turned into bones."

　　"Wan Yangzong explained the cause and effect of the incident to everyone, saying that it was caused by a monster that likes to eat girls."

　　"Then Wanyang Sect also dragged out the monsters that had been killed for everyone to see."

　　"That monster has two horns on its head, but its body is in the shape of a snake."

　　"But the story I'm going to tell is not the part you already know, but the story behind it."

　　"Although the story is related to Wanyang Sect, the protagonist of the story is the monster with a horn and a snake body."

Chapter 156

　　Lin Yi's speed of eating melon seeds has slowed down.

　　I didn't expect that the old man's storytelling angle was a bit novel. How did he know the story of this monster?

　　Just looking at the old gentleman sitting on the stage, with his hands folded flat on the crutches, his head lowered slightly, and he began to tell the story without any fluctuations in his tone.

　　"It's impossible to test the name of the monster, so let's call him a snake with horns for now."

　　"To say that this ox-horned snake-body beast looks like a behemoth, and it looks particularly scary, but it is not yet an adult."

　　"From his horns, we can tell that the monster is similar to his close relative, the buffalo.

　　As soon as I said this, someone shouted from below.

　　"Sir, what are you saying here is unreasonable?"

　　"This monster has eaten so many girls, how can he like to eat aquatic plants, so he is a vegetarian~?"

　　Then there are loyal fans of the old gentleman, and they immediately stand up - to hate him.

　　"Don't you know that the stories told by the old gentleman are always based on life and higher than life?"

　　"It doesn't mean that it must be the same as in reality. Besides, the old gentleman hasn't finished talking yet. What are you in a hurry!"

　　There are more people who agree with the latter statement, so those who deliberately found fault before silently silenced and dared not speak any more.

　　The old gentleman stopped when they were arguing, and continued when they were done arguing.

　　"It just so happens that there is a river with very clear water in this city, and the monster lived along the water flow not far from the city."

　　"There is also a family living next to the river."

　　"If it weren't for being too poor, no one would want to live by such damp water."

　　"Sleeping in bed without even drying the blanket underneath."

　　"But the peasant in that family couldn't do anything. He and his wife had eight children together, and the burden was too heavy."

　　"They are reluctant to throw away their children when they are born, like other people, so they can only live reluctantly."

　　When he heard this, Lin Yi fell into a strange silence.

　　He carefully looked at the expressions on the faces of the people around him, but found that when they heard this passage, they did not show any sad expressions, as if they had become accustomed to such things.
