Chapter 6 Tragedy

About a year ago, Baoqi Town, which was originally a good weather, suddenly became more and more difficult.

Because Baoqi Town is located in mountains and rivers, it has always lacked water sources.

Most of the residents in the town take water from water wells on their daily basis. However, water wells are not easy to drill, geography is difficult to choose, and the water is also turbid.

Even though there are some shallow ponds around, they are often dry and rarely have a large amount of water storage, which is not enough for thousands of households in Baoqi Town to use.

But a year ago, strange things happened.

A large number of ground cracks appeared around Baoqi Town, forming various crypts and water channels.

However, for a few months, the town, which has been water-deficient since ancient times, has become abundant in water.

Logically speaking, this should be considered a good thing.

But since Baoqi Town has more water sources, strange things have increased.

For example, strange beasts and birds often appear at night, ravaging the countryside, and even attacking local residents. For example, the number of strange diseases in the town increases, and residents often die inexplicably.

The most terrifying thing is the surge in murder and bloody cases. In the originally ordinary ancient town, strange criminal cases with tragic casualties have appeared one after another.

The local government of Wuzhou, who patrolled the local government, was in a state of great trouble and miserable way.

Later, rumors began to spread in the town, saying that there was a demonic energy overflowing from Jinglong Palace underground a thousand years ago, resulting in a drastic local geographical changes, so strange events occurred frequently.

As soon as the rumors came out, the residents were frightened and began to suspicion.

From then on, all kinds of rumors emerged one after another, such as monsters, soul-devouring and soul-absorbing, possession, strange changes, nightmare, eating people and digging their hearts, etc.

If it's just a rumor, that's fine.

But there are really many strange things, such as the shadowless thing of the lingering monsters, which gradually become a beginning and a final end, and the encounters are all explained clearly.

The government office has been repeatedly banned and has begun to post notices, warning residents in the town not to catch up on rumors, not to exaggerate, and to stop rumors.

But things went against my wishes. As soon as the government government notice was released, it made the residents of Baoqi Town even more frightened.

The rumors not only did not calm down, but they were more powerful than the performance.

Many criminal cases with unknown causes of death have been rumored to be committed by monsters.

In less than a year, Baoqi Town became a place of bad luck with strange things. Many wealthy and powerful gentry began to move away one after another, causing panic.

Yanlan Lane, under the locust tree of the five doctors, Jiang Youcai wiped tears and whispered in shock and fear:

"Little God, you just came here and didn't know what happened in the town. If you were a local, you would definitely be the same as me, and you would want to leave..."

After hearing him for a while, Chen Fusheng was full of fearful rumors. He didn't start saying what happened to the Jiang family and what happened to his own family, and he couldn't help but comfort him:

"Don't panic, let's talk about the Jiang family first..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Youcai's neck shrank, and he quickly pulled Chen Fusheng's sleeve. He didn't dare to look at the entrance of the alley more and whisper:

"Let's go, don't say it here, be careful to cause trouble."

As he said that, he pulled Chen Fusheng up and left quickly.

Until another street far away, which was quite crowded, Jiang Youcai stopped with lingering fear.

He found a stone pier to sit down, wiped his sweat, and sighed:

"Little God, you don't know anything. It's not that I'm suspicious, but that my uncle's family is invincible and tragic. I really don't dare to say more in that place..."

Chen Fusheng nodded slightly and listened with his ears.

Jiang Youcai continued:

"On the day of the incident, it was the twelfth month of previous years, and every household was preparing winter food. I also heard the news from the yamen that I realized that something happened to my uncle's family..."

"Oh, I still dare not recall the scene at that time. It's so miserable... My cousin is a famous local doctor and his family is quite well-off.

Although Jiang Botong went out of his home and had no news, he adopted several disciples at home and had a servant settled down. Everything was still appropriate, and there was a settlement behind him..."

"About it, the old and the young, a dozen or twenty people died in a bad life that night, and there was no more living..."

Jiang Youcai shivered and whispered:

"My cousin and aunt are in different places... the remaining disciples and servants in the house are all incomplete, as if they were torn apart... Other family members also died of blood and died with their eyes closed..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Youcai choked up and didn't dare to say anything again, trembling and wiping away tears.

Chen Fusheng took a deep breath.

Just this few words can imagine the tragic situation at that time.

"What do people from the government office say?" Chen Fusheng asked again.

"Oh... what else can I say?" Jiang Youcai shook his head and sighed, "The murderer was found nowhere and the case was unknown. The government determined that it was the cause of the bandits, and it was only caused by the burglary, which caused the bloody crime..."

"But... the neighbors in Yanlan Lane said that it could not be a bandit."

Jiang Youcai lowered his voice sadly, "Because everyone around him never heard anything. More than twenty people suffered this tragedy, but they died silently... You said, little god, are there such a strange robbery case in the world?"

"So you all think that this is done by the demons and ghosts?" Chen Fusheng frowned.

"Little God, I have to believe some things!" Jiang Youcai quickly lowered his voice, looked around, and said:

"I heard that my cousin's house was shaking the demonic energy and hidden medicinal materials that ghosts hate, which caused a tragedy."

Chen Fusheng was silent and had to ask:

"Is the Jiang family's former residence still there now?"

"How dare you keep it!"

Jiang Youcai quickly waved his hand and shook his head, "The government office sealed the house and invited a group of monks and Taoists to do great rituals. Then, he set up a thorny barrier around him, prohibiting entry and exit."

"To this year, the Jiang family's house has long been deserted and corrupted, and many places have collapsed. The surrounding neighbors have moved away several families. Not to mention others, even those beggars who have no food and clothing will not dare to go."

Chen Fusheng was silent again, thinking about it secretly, and could only find an opportunity to take a look.

If it is in broad daylight and swaggering, I don’t know how many rumors will cause, which will cause suspicion.

"You said before that there are many more water sources in the town for no reason?" Chen Fusheng suddenly thought of a question and asked again.

"Yes." Jiang Youcai nodded, "In the past year, there have been many open channels for water storage and many sinking deep ponds, all of which are unprecedented strange things."

Chen Fusheng couldn't help but remember what the old Taoist priest said:

"No matter whether it is a fairy or a ghost, if you want to form, you must obtain the Taoist Qi, which is also called a God-given opportunity..."

"But the divergence of the Taoist qi mechanism must have the foundation temple of the 'spirit kiln' before it can be born..."

"Only if the towns and villages have the foundation of beautiful mountains, living water, a hundred-year-old prosperous family, and thousands of families, can they have the possibility of building a 'spiritual kiln'..."

"... Baoqi Town has no foundation, so there will never be a 'spirit kiln'. Then naturally, it will not turn into monsters and monsters..."

......

Xiushan, living water, a hundred-year-old prosperous family, thousands of families... Chen Fusheng pondered secretly. It seems that Baoqi Town already has the foundation of "spiritual kiln".

In other words, some practitioners have built temples here?

Sure enough, the old Taoist priest said that Baoqi Town has undergone a major change!

Chen Fusheng looked at Jiang Youcai's distraught appearance and asked again:

"What happened to your home?"

Jiang Youcai's face suddenly collapsed, and he said hoarsely:

"I have only one child in my family, and I am twenty years old this year. I arranged a few months ago and married a wife for him. Oh, who knows..."

"I saw that my wife was pregnant and was about to give birth, but I didn't know what strange things she caused... my belly was getting bigger and bigger, not only could she not give birth, but my wife woke up from fainting and became weird and terrifying..."

When Jiang Youcai talked about his family affairs, he seemed even more timid and afraid. The wrinkles on his face squeezed into a pile, making him feel sad as if he was about to drip out of bitterness.

Seeing his situation, Chen Fusheng couldn't ask anything after asking. After thinking about it, he took the hexagram banner inserted in his backpack and stood in front of Jiang Youcai.

"Come on, I'll tell you a divination first."
