At this time, a group of villagers gathered around and saw the old man letting go of my hand and lying on the ground.

The strong young man in the lead pointed at me and shouted: "Who are you?"

"Don't get me wrong, I was just passing by. My car broke down. He was the one who brought me back."

The strong young man had already arrived in front of the old man, "What's wrong with my third uncle?"

"I didn't know either. He wanted to take off my ring as soon as he came up. As soon as he took it off, he lay down on the ground."

"Impossible, my third uncle won't care about your broken ring."

At this time, other villagers had come out of the cave, "This is terrible! The patriarch and the old people in the village are dead. This kid must have cast some kind of magic. We must not let him escape."

Just when I was about to explain, two villagers had already put a pig-tying rope around my neck. I grabbed one end of the rope with both hands and yanked it into my arms. The two people trying to tie me were unsteady on their feet.

He fell directly to the ground.

"Listen to my explanation. It's really not me. Just find a doctor and you will know. They all died normally."

"Absolutely impossible. In the morning, they were all fine. How could they become like this in the blink of an eye? It must have something to do with you. Even if it has nothing to do with you, you must know the inside story."

I spread my hands and said, "You can't be unreasonable, right? I told you, I'm just passing by."

"Passing by? Could you happen to pass by the holy place of our village? I think you had a plan in advance. A few more people came and tied him up for me."

The villagers really listened to this young man and jumped on me like they were desperate. I couldn't really hurt these innocent villagers, so I could only let them tie me up and take me to a pothole.

"If you know what's going on, please tell me the truth, or else I'll let you taste the water prison."

What they call a water prison is to dig a pit in the ground and then build four walls with cement. It is about half a person tall. When I stand on it, the position above my shoulders is on the ground. The pit is not big, just big enough for me.

Big people stand four.

Four villagers struggled to lift an iron cage that fit perfectly into the hole, placed it on my head, and then began to heat water inside.

"It's freezing cold here, so you better tell the truth so that we can let you out as soon as possible."

I looked at the slowly rising water level and said, "You are setting up a private prison and carrying out lynching. This is against the law."

The strong young man kicked the cage and said, "I am the Dharma in this place. I will come again before dark. If you still refuse to tell me then, then you can't blame me." After saying that, he turned around and left. The group of villagers

, also scattered away.

This water prison is fine for standing, but I'm too sleepy and there's no place to sit, but I can't sit down either, after all, it's full of water below. If an ordinary person takes a nap, he'll choke to death from the water below, and it's winter.

, although it is hot water now, as the temperature gets lower and lower, it will become ice water before night, and may even freeze.

I raised my hand and looked at the ring in my hand, and naturally said to myself: "What kind of magical power does this ring have?"

While I was thinking about it, a villager came from a short distance away with a black dog. When he walked to the cage, he lightly knocked on the iron railing and tied the dog to the railing.

After doing this, he pointed at me and said, "Be honest, or I'll let you die here tonight." Then he left without looking back.

The dog he brought just stared at me and bared his teeth, as if he had a grudge against me.

Because it was winter, the water in the pool lost its temperature quickly.

The dog was lying on the side with his head leaning against the iron railing, seemingly asleep.

"Five Dharma Heavenly Spirits, Water Control Technique."

I condensed all the water in the pond into the sky and turned it into a big drop of water. Then the weather got cold and it froze into a huge lump of ice.

With a wave of his hand, the ice lump came down hard, bending the iron cage. The dog let out a strange cry, and then started barking at the iron railings.

Such a big movement caused a group of villagers to appear in front of me again.

The strong young man at the head squatted in front of me and said, "It seems that you are really good at magic. Today, I will ask you to pay with your life for the elderly in our village."

He stood up and said, "All the women turned their backs, and all the unmarried men gathered around, letting this monster taste the taste of child urine."

Soon, a circle of people gathered, mostly young and middle-aged people, and a few older ones.

"If you have to scratch someone, please forgive them."

A man dressed as a Taoist priest came out of nowhere. The strong young man walked up to the Taoist priest and said, "Taoist priest, this is a monster. He not only cast spells to harm the patriarch of our village, but also many elderly people in the village. You must do justice for heaven."

ah!"

The Taoist priest walked to the cage and looked down at me. I didn't recognize the Taoist priest in front of me, but he didn't look like a bad person.

"What you're wearing on your hand is a Xuanwu ring?"

I lowered my head and glanced at the ring on my hand, "I don't know what it's called either?"

A handle of Fuchen slipped out of the Taoist priest's sleeve. The Taoist held the Fuchen and said, "Infinite Heavenly Lord, since you can be recognized by Lord Zhiming, it seems that you are not a treacherous person." As soon as he finished speaking, Fuchen caught him.

The Taoist priest raised his hand slightly on the railing, and the cage instantly flew thousands of feet into the sky, and everyone around him was stunned.

"This demon is in the same group as him, arrest them all."

I jumped up from the pit and jumped to the Taoist priest, "Does the Taoist priest know the origin of this ring?"

Before the Taoist priest could say anything, a red liquid was splashed from top to bottom, and the smell was extremely fishy.

The Taoist priest grabbed my arm and pulled back, just in time to avoid it. The liquid spread all over the floor, but not a bit fell on our clothes.

"What's this?"

The Taoist priest said coldly: "Black dog blood, they regard us as monsters."

I took a step forward and said, "Listen to my explanation. Your clan leader and the elderly in the village all died of normal old age. You can go outside to hire a forensic doctor or call the police. Their deaths really have nothing to do with me."

"Besides, you have also seen my ability. If I really want to kill you, it will be easy. The reason why I let you put me here is because I don't want to bear the reputation of a murderer."

All the villagers looked at each other, and finally looked at the strong young man who took the lead. The strong young man bit his lower lip and said, "I can believe you, but all the old people in our village died in an instant. It can't be justified by reason. You

If you don’t give us an explanation, I’m afraid this matter won’t be solved so easily.”

The villagers shouted in unison, "Yes, it's not that easy to solve."

I glanced at the Taoist priest and took out a bank card from my pocket, "There is some money on this card, which will be used as funeral expenses for the elderly in the village. The rest will be used as a token of my gratitude."

The strong young man took the card and looked through it twice, "How much money do you have in it?"

"It's not much, just a hundred or so. If it's not enough, I'll think of a way."

The strong young man was stunned and said, "How much did you say? A hundred or ten thousand?"

I nodded, and an aunt behind me pulled the young man, "That's a lot, that's a lot."

The strong young man and several villagers behind him immediately smiled and said, "How embarrassing. Since you are willing to pay this part of the money, then we will accept it."

The Taoist priest turned around and walked away, and I immediately chased after him, "Taoist priest, stay."

The Taoist priest stopped and turned to look at me.

"I didn't thank you properly for saving my life just now."

The Taoist priest collected the dust and said, "As a poor Taoist, I only see uneven roads. Besides, the benefactor is blessed with great fortune. Even if I don't take action, with the benefactor's practice, I can still turn disaster into good fortune and disaster into good fortune."

After saying that, a cloud of auspicious clouds appeared under his feet and rose into the sky.

I made a trumpet shape with my hands and shouted towards him as he walked away: "I don't know what to call him?"

"I will tell you when we meet again."

I looked at the ring in my hand, and suddenly I remembered a sword that Brother Long lent me. First it turned into an iron glove, and then it also turned into an iron ring. I wonder if it has the same function as the Xuanwu ring in my hand. I touched it with my left hand.

Touching the ring on the middle finger of his right hand, "Xuanwu Ring! It seems to be a magical weapon."

I turned around and came to the villagers just now, "Is the dragon capital far away in your village?"

"Longdu?"

I nodded, "Is it far?"

"It's not far. First, take a bus to the county, then take a train to the city. Finally, you can buy a train ticket from the city to go to Longdu. You can get there in less than two days."

Less than two days, not far? But this place is colder than Longdu, and it seems to be still north of Longdu.

I arrived at the county in the car where the village was responsible for purchasing funeral items and collecting money.

This county town is much more lively than the one in Gushan Town, and there are quite a lot of people coming and going. I didn’t look good wearing the same feather armor as the black tights, so I went to a clothing store and bought some clothes.

On the strong recommendation of the store clerk, I bought a black mink coat. I don’t know whether it is genuine or not, but it is quite warm anyway.

After coming out of the clothing store, I took a taxi and went directly to the train station, bought a ticket, and waited to drive back to Longdu.

After checking the ticket, I bought a bottle of drink and sat in the waiting hall playing with my phone.

At this time, a bald man wearing a monk's robe sat next to me, "Brother, let me see you..."

I turned around and saw that it looked so familiar, "You're not trying to sell me the Buddha statue, are you?"

The bald man looked me up and down and said, "Am I so destined to be the donor? I have other good things here."

"Good stuff? Is there any magic weapon?"

He looked around, lowered his voice and said to me: "Of course, I just don't know if you can afford the price."

"As long as I like it, the price is negotiable."

He put the canvas bag on his lap and carefully pulled the zipper. When it was just big enough for a hand to put in, he stopped and put his hand in.
