Chapter 458 One or two points

Hu Ma's heart was not as big as that of Fairy Miaoshan. It seemed that she didn't care about the lobby officials outside at all, and she only wanted to make her Lantern Festival a lively event.

Now he only felt heavy in his heart, and he vaguely felt that things in Shima Town were already a little out of control.

Although Yiqianjiao originally planned to organize this lantern blessing event and had already released the news, and the great virtuous master did have corresponding principles, everyone knows that the current situation is severe and the so-called lantern blessing event is no longer that important.

It's important.

Your life is almost gone, so you still want to pretend to be a ghost?

Moreover, after sealing off the town, it was easy to fool them. After all, most of the people in this town were church members and merchants, and they would not take it seriously. But now that so many people have poured in at once, how can they count?

It's easy to be fooled when there are few people, but there are so many people all of a sudden. Just these densely packed heads, it's hard to imagine how heavy the cause and effect it represents...

Furthermore, these people came at a strange time. Didn't they realize how dangerous this town was now? Didn't they notice the ghostly fog blocking the road when they came?

Or maybe it was the lobby official and the Meng family outside who let it in on purpose?

"..."

Old Abacus stretched his head, looked at the big pot in front of him, and whispered: "It's like this all over the world, especially in the past few years, it's become more and more obvious."

He did have doubts in his heart. If it was just one or two households, they would not be able to survive and would not be ready to rebel. This was why he had never been able to agree with the One Money Cult's rebellion before.

"But it's also strange..."

After hearing what the old abacus said, Hu Ma couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She inexplicably remembered what the old man with the white beard said to her: "Is this what the old man said about the world becoming lighter?"

No, even if we just let them in, there shouldn't be so many people coming here. We are in the mountains now, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. Even if we are lucky, how many people can come? Why do we look at it now? It seems like it is within a hundred miles.

All the people rushed over?

Thinking in his mind, he walked out of the door and came to the now bustling town. His eyes also glanced at the faces full of joy and sorrow.

All of a sudden, the vague information Dahongpao had told him about things like weighing the world began to come together.

But she saw Hu Ma coming from a distance, so she waved these people away, and waited reservedly for Hu Ma to approach, with a probing expression on her face: "Uncle Master, you think our lantern festival..."

"But the situation just now is not limited to one family or two families..."

He queued up to receive a bowl of talisman water, squatted next to Hu Ma, and sipped it. He didn't forget to suggest to the Yiqian Cult members beside the pot: "...Throw away the half piece of sheep in the back as well."

Come in and cook!"

Standing among the bustling people, Hu Ma frowned slightly and said to himself: "I haven't heard of any major drought or flood disasters around me. This place belongs to the boundary of Gunzhou. Previously, the five evil spirits caused disasters in Mingzhou.

, and it has not affected this place..."

...I would believe it even if it was changed to flax. After all, there are large oily flowers floating on the talisman water, and there are bones with meat in it. It bubbles and bubbles from time to time. It looks very magical.

"Compared with 20 years ago, taxes have not increased, and the people above are also suppressing banditry. However, they are less than one or two cents every year. By now, a small amount adds up to a large amount. By now, there is already less food.

That’s enough for one or two..."

"You're a good little steward of the Blood Food Gang, wouldn't you also listen to those monstrous words and follow the Yiqian Cult to rebel?"

"Of course, it's not obvious if you just look at each household. That is, the harvested grain is less than 10% or 20%. Occasionally, one or two people in a household fall ill. But what if all of them are like this?"

"I……"

The more she thought about these issues, the heavier Hu Ma's mood became.

The world has become lighter, so there are more disasters.

When he saw the hungry faces, he knew that these were not the work of others. They were actually people who came to seek relief from their suffering. Otherwise, they would not be so eager for this talisman water.

.

"There are so many people who have suffered disasters, it's just ordinary people..."

"One or two or two?"

Most of the people who came to Shima Town were ragged and disheveled people. Even looking at it, many of them just came to this town with only one breath left.

"Why do you look like this?"

Hu Ma, who understood this, let out a long sigh, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked towards the Zongtan Mansion. Immortal Miaoshan did not follow just now, but she had been waiting by the house, with Bai Fan and others beside her.

They were all anxiously waiting to ask her some questions.

"..."

In the streets and alleys, there are already Yiqian sect members wearing white paper clothes, welcoming the people who came from all over the place. They are standing in front of the big pot, burning the paper charms in their hands and throwing them into the pot, and then throwing them towards the pot.

Those common people shouted: "But we will give you this talisman water that can cure all diseases now."

He turned around, but all he saw was poverty everywhere, as if someone had specially gathered all the people from within a few hundred miles here.

Hu Ma sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "I have seen your account books. They are very well prepared, aren't they?"

"The fields all over the world have been harvested less than one or two cents. What do you think this is?"

"People who have money in their hands, or even more and more money, don't care about the two-for-one split. They even feel that no one is taking care of them, and they are becoming more and more relaxed..."

"There are fewer and fewer things growing in the fields, and there are more and more weird diseases."

"..."

"...Why are there so many destitute people here, as if they have suffered a disaster?"

"Everyone has already arrived and the words have been released, so what can we do?"

Could it be that the world is really being sold off bit by bit, and the consequences of this deal have actually already appeared?

The thin, dark child nestled in the adult's arms almost had his little head stuck into the big pot...

"..."

"People above can fill their stomachs with only a few taels more, but for people below, if only one tael is missing, countless people will starve to death..."

Hu Ma took Xiao Hongtang with him and walked among the crowd, wanting to see if there was any sinister means hidden among them. But the result surprised him. In the town now, it was true that everyone was

People came from all over.

Lao Abacus hesitated to speak. Seeing Hu Ma Zhen walking away so relieved, he could only sigh heavily. His face was full of helplessness and he could only remind: "You should also serve some snacks..."

Hu Ma was not surprised that this old guy would show up, but directly said with doubts in his heart: "Even if the weather is not smooth in this area of ​​Gunzhou, it is almost the same. The tax officials still collect it, but because of their low profile, they dare not bully them too much.

Can’t you just live your life?”

Hu Ma smiled at him and said: "I'm not professional in this kind of thing. Besides, with my little ability, if I want to go with others, they may not be willing to accept us!"

"There are still many people behind, so I'm afraid the magic power of this talisman is not enough..."

"My old life is still hanging on you..."

No wonder there are so many poor people, no wonder the Yiqian Cult showed its signs and affected so many people at once...

He spoke slowly, his eyes swept over the people on the street, and whispered: "But they can feel it..."

"knew."

"..."

If you think about it carefully, there is nothing more terrifying than this. For twenty consecutive years, the food in the fields has been decreasing year by year, and there are ghosts and gods at work, natural and man-made disasters, and ordinary people can only survive.

There is a ghost...

Shima Town already has a large population, and as soon as the people who came from within a hundred miles arrived, it became even more bustling and lively, as if the pressure brought by the old-year-old lobby official outside the town had become insignificant.

"How can it be?"

These words made Lao Abacus feel a lot better. He led the donkey to the inn: "I finally have some conscience..."

Hu Ma just waved his hand and said: "Your life is very valuable to me!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, the Lantern Festival starts at night, and the Immortal Official will bless you."

Old Abacus also held a bowl in his hand, and was squeezed into the crowd waiting to receive the talisman water. The way he was dressed was actually similar to that of the disaster victims around him, so he couldn't see it if he wasn't paying attention.

Looking at Hu Ma as if he had figured something out and sighing in a low voice, Lao Abacus also seemed to be sighing a little. He slowly finished half a bowl of broth, and then gave the bowl and the remaining meat to a thin man.

The little baby with a big head turned to Hu Ma and smiled:

Only in troubled times will you rebel, and only if you can't survive will you rebel. The disciples who don't eat cows teach people to rebel everywhere. They are not forcibly bewitching the people and ambitious clans everywhere. In fact, there is such an internal reason.

"Don't wander around anymore. Go back to the inn and keep an eye on our donkeys and horses. I think there are a lot of poor people in this town. If someone is too hungry to lose weight, he might eat our animals."

, I really can’t find a place to cry!”

"It's not us who can't survive, it's these poor people."

While she was thinking intently, a feeble voice rang out from beside her. Huma turned her head in surprise and saw the resentful face of Old Abacus. Beside him, there were also a resentful donkey and a disdainful horse.

With yellow and thin faces, they desperately held the bowls, waiting for a bowl of talisman water that could cure all diseases. They did not dislike the black talisman ashes at all, as if they truly believed that it was a life-saving elixir...

In my previous life, I knew that in places where there were rebellions, the people were often in dire straits and there was really no way to survive. If someone could have survived but was incited to rebel, then he would be a monster, and he would kill many people.

Immortal Miaoshan looked happy, as if the lantern blessing ceremony had already been held as soon as Hu Ma spoke, and said hurriedly: "But the matter of blessing on the altar..."

Hu Ma settled his steps and said: "All the gods on the altar are dead, right? Then I'll lend you a life to use..."
