Chapter 105(1/2)
As Chang Boning practiced in Meihua Town for a long time and coupled with the inexplicable disaster of the dam, the secret of the "Man Pillar" gradually could not be hidden.
A few days ago, families in the town who suffered from marrying their children gathered together in front of the old courtyard, saying that they would pay their lives.
As a last resort, the elderly old town mayor came with crutches when he heard the news and told the story of the past that had been hidden for a long time.
After hearing the old things, the people who came to ask for their debts were silent.
Ordinary people have a simple account book in their hearts:
——Without a "man pillar", their children will not die.
——But without the "Pillar of Man", the whole town will die.
After some calculations, they all fell into confusion.
In the end, these victims did not say forgiveness or pursue the matter, but left silently, but the crowd was filled with long sorrow.
The mayor, who made up his mind to set up a "people pillar" in Meihua Town, watched everyone leave.
The mayor is already very old. He is leaning on a cane, like the oldest willow tree in Meihua Town, turning into a human form.
He looked up at Feng Rugu.
During the Zhongyuan Festival, the old mayor even shared the edamame from a dumpling basket with him.
At that time, the Taoist lord was unpretentious and kind and cute. He laughed with the old men and said some jokes in the market without hesitation.
At that time, it was very dark, and there was only a river of swaying lights, which was not enough for his dark old eyes to see a person clearly.
Now, the old mayor has completely seen Feng Rugu's face.
He stood on the threshold with a bamboo smoker in his arms, one foot inside and one foot outside. Compared with the righteous and gentle Taoist Lord Chang, this Taoist Lord Feng had no immortality and Taoist sect, which was more like a beautiful ghost who had cultivated the left-handed Taoist Taoist sect and looked back against the door.
Facing this face, the old mayor did not dare to do it again, and said politely: "Daojun, I'll do it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Rugu understood what he meant. He gently turned his head into the door and signaled him to come with him.
Following the old mayor, there was also a woman with a little messy hair.
Her feet were a little limp, so she walked slowly like the old mayor.
After passing through the two screen walls, the old mayor met his grandson in a sunny courtyard, whom he had not met for sixteen years.
...It was sacrificed as one-seventh of the "Pillar of Humanity" back then.
The lame woman also stood still, holding the moon gate, tiptoed on her uninspiring feet, and looked inward.
In the eyes of normal people, they are complete people.
But as long as you use your spiritual power, you can see that there are seven people living in a body, and they are very harmonious with each other: Xiao Si and Xiao Wu took the right to use their mouths, chewed at a table of snacks, and ate the debris on the ground; A San was sleeping heavily; A Er took one eye, staring at a book on the table, and Xiao Liu took the other one, staring at the direction of the swing; Xiao Qi's feet moved back and forth on the ground, wanting to run out to play.
Among them, the busiest is the busiest.
He occupied two hands, one was busy flipping books for his second brother, and the other was feeding snacks to Xiaosi and Xiaowu, wiping his mouth and dusting the crumbs.
They hugged the group and lived a family in such a deformed and lively manner.
The old town mayor and Xiao Liuniang looked at their children from a distance, and their eyes were shining brightly.
They each saw the person they loved the most on that face of thousands of people.
But the "Pillars" are only busy with their own affairs.
They do not recognize the old men and women outside.
...Even if we meet, we will not know.
The old mayor murmured: "He did something bad, right?"
He was Ada's grandfather. When the unknown Taoist Yang proposed to save the people of the town by using the method of children to hate victory, he was the first to bring out his grandson with tears in his eyes.
But he regrets it a little now.
Feng Rugu said calmly: "There are seven people, only two of them make mistakes. Your child did not do those things."
The old mayor smiled and coughed.
He knew that Feng Rugu was comforting him, and he was grateful for his comfort.
"My house is a girl, the sixth one who was put down..." the lame woman asked, "Has she done bad things?"
She is Xiaoliu's mother.
When the child was still sipping breasts in her arms, she was forcibly taken away by her husband.
Because this can save lives in the town, their family can save a bite of chewing the valley.
They really can't support their third child!
However, just a few months ago, her second daughter got married happily, and was transported home in a wedding dress coldly and lay in a thin coffin.
She was sad at first, but after learning the truth about her second daughter's victimization, she became panicked.
She looked at Feng Rugu, hoping not to get an answer that made her desperate.
Anyone whose heart is not made of iron and stone will inevitably be heartbroken by her eyes with tears in her eyes.
However, Feng Rugu was not moved at all and said without changing his face: "She has never done it."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and her slightly loose skin stretched out a crying and laughing expression: "It's okay...that's fine."
The old mayor looked at Feng Rugu with some confusion: "Did we... do something wrong?"
When the woman heard this, she looked at Feng Rugu, hoping to ask for peace from him.
...The facts are obvious.
All the people in Meihua Town were used by the "Master Yang".
Even the corpse of the magic Taoist formation cultivator who was thrown into the water and floated downstream may be a bait to lure this group of kind water town people into the bait.
They thought it was an innocent drowning stranger, so they took the body ashore and buried it with kindness, but they did not expect that a disaster was buried.
Judging from the results, they did do something wrong. After making a huge sacrifice, they made a wedding dress for others.
But Feng Rugu didn't say anything.
He held the cigarette holder and slowly let out a mouthful of fog, saying, "If you hadn't made up your mind at that time, the Meihua Town would have become a dead place in Zeguo today and would not have existed again. There must be a choice in the world, so it is not wrong."
The old mayor grinned, revealing the gums that had two teeth lost.
He bowed to Feng Rugu, turned around and walked out with his cane.
The old mayor did not let the envelope remain the same.
He could guess that the Taoist priest named Yang was probably not that simple.
...But when a person lives to his age, he should have the ability to pretend to be confused.
If you are wrong, you are wrong. Life has passed, and everything is irreversible. The best way now is to make the mistake just right.
When the woman saw that the old mayor had left, she also turned around step by step.
She lowered her head, trying hard not to think about more things, muttering to herself: "...a piece of cabbage costs one penny, and a piece of tofu costs half a penny--"
She was very confused, and she seemed to be floating in the air.
She urgently needs some daily trivial matters to bring her back to the world.
Although the second daughter is dead and the younger daughter is half dead, she still has to go home to cook.
Feng Rugu looked at their backs, holding a puff of cigarette in his mouth, and was reluctant to vomit until their figures disappeared completely.
He turned around and faced Ruyi standing under the corridor.
Feng Rugu looked at him without saying a word. The light bamboo smoke that he had been holding for a long time slowly emerged from his mouth.
Ruyi looked at his red lips shrouded in thin smoke, thinking that sometimes, his mouth was not that hateful.
The matter of Meihua Town will take place for a whole month.
After staying here for half a month, Jing Sanchai also left on his own.
His Qianji Academy business was very prosperous, and he was no longer a member of the Taoist sect. He helped them for so long for so long, and he was already a great devotion to the fullest righteousness.
When the four of them settled everything and set off again, no one saw him off.
After this secret that was dug out from 16 years ago, the people of Meihua Town didn't know how to deal with it.
Because from beginning to end, it all looks like a joke between God and Meihua Town.
Although Feng Rugu and others cured the disaster in Meihua Town, no one can truly be grateful to them who discovered this cruel secret.
If you have seen human nature since childhood, you have seen a lot of it, so you are not surprised by it.
Chang Boning is tolerant by nature, and Feng Rugu is even more energetic. Therefore, except for Hai Jing who cannot practice home, he is a little unhappy. He misses Luo Fuchun and Sang Luojiu, the other three are all as usual.
As for the "human pillars", after they unbind the binding to the water vein of the plum blossom town, they immediately lived happily into the "semi-life form" and almost couldn't wait to start their journey!
However, shortly after they set out, Ruyi realized something was wrong and took the "Man Pillar" out of the sword to watch.
——This "Man Pillar" is not good-looking and does not look vicious, but the ghosts in the sword who are not strong enough were eaten by them in less than an hour!
When Ruyi was taken out, Xiao Wu, who had a face in Feng Ruyuan, sucked it, swallowed the foot of a remnant soul, and acted obediently and stared at Ruyi with a eager look.
