I am your natural enemy
Chapter 575: People in Taohua Township, which came first, the chicken or the egg (6k)
As time goes by, the underworld has actually been changing, especially in the past two years, after entering the version of A Piao, the underworld has actually changed the most, but not many people pay attention to it, and not many people have contact with it.
If there is no absolute need, the Taoist priests of various mountains and sects would rather transfer to the high-speed rail and travel for a day than walk the underworld.
People in Qingcheng do not use the road to walk the underworld, let alone the Taoist priests of other mountain gates. Everyone has always been very secretive about this and regards it as a taboo.
In the past two years, there are many things that have been revived in the underworld. Every time Tong Si passes the underworld, she will see more and more temporary paths that appear and disappear from time to time, but everyone has always kept their distance.
After some things are revived, they live on the underworld. Some people who can't keep calm or want to make trouble have either left long ago or can't help making trouble.
The people who warned Tong Si and Feng Wei before were the aliens who lived on the underworld after resurrection.
This time, too, after the aliens were revived, they were unwilling to get involved in the outside world, thinking that life outside was too troublesome, and they did not want to return to the underworld. The residence they created was not at the end of the path, but on the path itself.
The advantage of this is that it is neither in the underworld nor in the world, and even the path is not always there, which is the most comfortable.
There are actually quite a few such aliens now, but everyone is hiding.
Now this alien who ordered takeout here, Wen Yan had placed food at the intersection several times before, lit incense, and asked the souls of the underworld to taste it, and this alien naturally tasted it.
After tasting it, he began to mutter in his heart, but Wen Yan did not come to place offerings every day, and not every time he placed what he liked.
After he muttered in his heart, a few days ago, he finally triggered the ability of the takeaway boy without muttering, placed an order with the takeaway boy, and received a takeaway while sitting at home.
So far, it has been out of control.
Takeout perfectly solves his need to not want to go out and want to eat delicious food.
When the delivery guy left, several ghost lights lit up in the dark courtyard, and a four-eyed alien who looked like a human walked out of the house.
He opened the door and took the takeaway hanging on the door. Four eyes looked at the delivery guy's back as he walked away. Under his robe, he stretched out a slender palm and pointed at the delivery guy from a distance. A dark halo flew out and landed on the guy. This was a payment plus a reward, which he learned specifically.
After confirming that the guy rode an electric donkey without looking back and left safely and smoothly, the four-eyed alien closed the courtyard door with satisfaction, and did not step into the path outside the door the whole time.
He carried the takeaway and looked to the other side. At this moment, he could not see anything, but just now, he saw the figure of the blind corner ghost flash by, and at that moment, the blind corner ghost turned around and looked behind.
The four-eyed alien curled his lips and was too lazy to care anymore.
If the ghost in the corner hadn't hidden, he would still wonder if the ghost in the corner had come with the delivery boy, and whether he should take advantage of it.
Now even he couldn't see the lost ghost in the corner, so there was no need to think about it, it was a ghost in the corner.
Then why bother, just let that guy fend for himself.
Besides, he couldn't see it now, so he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.
The four-eyed alien closed the door, took down a white lantern hanging under the porch, and the courtyard disappeared on the side of the path.
On the path, the ghost in the corner who had hidden his figure extinguished his last bit of life.
He was lost on the path of the underworld, and a huge uneasiness swept over him. He instinctively hid his figure. When he realized that he was like this, even if someone wanted to help him, they couldn't do anything, but it was too late.
As a ghost in the corner, the only way to be rescued was to stop hiding.
But he was extremely uncomfortable. When he was lost, he couldn't disperse and hide when he was completely unsure of the surrounding situation.
This is basically equivalent to running naked with all his weaknesses exposed, and he can't be sure who will see him.
After just a little hesitation, there was only the path left under his feet, and even the small courtyard next to him disappeared.
As time passed, part of this unfixed path began to slowly dissipate.
Blind corner ghost stood there, not knowing how to go, he was completely lost.
When the path under his feet disappeared, he stood in nothingness, completely lost.
And now is just the beginning, from the initial, simply unable to distinguish the direction, entering the perception without any reference.
Gradually, it will also begin to enter the next stage, and consciousness will also begin to lose.
The final result, in the best case, is to wander here endlessly like countless unconscious souls in the underworld.
Or, he is not as good as those souls, he did not go to the main road, and if he went to the main road, he might be discovered.
Blind corner ghost realized his situation and kept thinking about ways to save himself.
But no one knew he was here. The last person who knew where he was going only knew that he was going to take advantage of the rare opportunity to sneak into the neighborhood where Wen Yan lived.
Everything outside was still going on.
Gauss was tinkering with something in his basement. A glimmer of light emerged from the magic circle in the corner, and a little devil came out of it and gave Gauss the materials he needed.
Gauss casually threw the leftover chicken leg to the trembling little devil standing there as an extra reward.
He waved his hand and continued to toss, letting the little devil leave.
The little devil ate the food in his mouth, flattered him with gratitude, turned into a puff of black smoke, and disappeared into the magic circle.
The meal delivered this time had a bit of a yin flavor to it. Gauss didn't like it too much, but he liked it spicy enough.
I guess it was the strange takeaway guy who had other customers before and got some contamination when delivering the food, but Gauss didn't care.
There is only one guy who can deliver food here. When the guy is resting, the store won't take orders here.
It's just a little bit of yin energy. As long as this little brother doesn't die, everything else is easy.
Thinking of this, Gauss thought for a while and pulled out a gray-white bone block with some densely packed magic runes carved on it. He threw it on the table and gave it directly to the little brother next time he saw him.
He really didn't want this little brother to die suddenly one day.
Next door, in the quietest house, Jishui Shuishen, who slept for a long time every day and slowly recovered with time, stood by the window and looked outside with some doubts.
When she woke up just now, she felt a particularly annoying power aura appearing nearby. That annoying power circled around the community several times.
After she noticed a little bit of power from other gods, that bit of power left.
Wen Yan was not at home and was busy with other things. Everyone at home had gone out. She could sense that something was not right in the atmosphere and wanted to help.
Unfortunately, it was not her turn to do anything. She finally noticed something just now, but it was scared away again.
She couldn't remember what the trace of power she felt that disgusted her was. She could only remember that it was extremely disgusting, so disgusting that she would wake up if she felt such a power nearby.
The community is very quiet, even quieter than usual.
The people who came to infiltrate didn't even see what the front door of Wen Yan's house looked like.
On the other side, the evil son-in-law was already asleep with one arm held by the woman.
After the woman fell asleep, he looked at the woman who remained relaxed and happy while sleeping for a long time.
When the woman turned over and let go of his arm, he quietly got up, went to the small study, and took out a wooden box from the cabinet.
There is a piece of yellowed paper in the wooden box, which says that if a person abandons his rules, he will become a monster.
The brush strokes are restrained and there is no edge at all. Each stroke seems to have left seven points of strength, and it is bound to remain able to be turned back at any time.
He looked at the note and suddenly felt a little different today.
He was thinking whether it was the Taoist priest who had left him enough escape routes. He was also advising him that he must leave enough escape routes for himself when doing things, and he must not use them all when writing.
Hearing the presence of the gray-robed Taoist today, he was indeed a little out of sorts. What was he afraid of?
Late at night, he looked at the note and asked himself. After a long time, his eyes became a little empty and he sighed softly.
He seemed a little afraid of losing his current life.
Looking at the note, he realized something again. After realizing this, he was actually quite unbelievable.
But now when he looked at the note and could face himself, he couldn't help but think of what happened during the day.
He hurriedly went to see the blind spot, Ah Piao. To a large extent, he was actually afraid that the idiot would be too impulsive and cause trouble for him.
There are not many people who know how to contact him, but Ah Piao is one of them.
After he learned about the stupid things that the blind spot A Piao had done, he really hoped that it would be best for the blind spot A Piao to die as soon as possible.
Of course he knew about the fierce performance of the Great Evil Star in Decheng. He stood alone at the intersection and killed all the aliens without even getting out. If Wen Yan was not there, the evil star must be there.
It would be perfect if Ah Piao died in the hands of the evil star in the blind spot.
In this way, the blame for the failure of the mission must also be the blind spot A Piao's back. Who let the blind spot A Piao be exposed first?
If he had not been exposed in advance, and the first opportunity of exposure was given to Decheng, he would probably be able to complete the task.
The man stared at the note and thought of a lot today without realizing it.
After looking at it for a while, he solemnly put the note away. For some reason, every time he took out the box and read the words carefully, he would always feel something different.
The next morning, he had just turned on his computer, made coffee, and was waiting for the market to open when he received a call from his wife.
"Hey, hubby, what a coincidence. I went out to do some errands at work today, and met that Taoist priest again. The Taoist priest said that it was the third time we met, and we were really destined, so he could help me do the math. If not, he can also recommend a powerful Taoist priest to me, do you want to come over?"
The woman was in a good mood and spoke very fast, and the man's face tightened when he heard her.
"The market is about to open, what should I do?"
"Oh, look at me, the Taoist priest just said that the calculation was not accurate, and I want to see you."
The man's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed.
Of course he knew that these eight achievements were just to see him.
but why?
Why did you notice him?
His wife has nothing on her body, can you tell something from this?
Did that Taoist really become so powerful after he only practiced Taoism?
"Hello? Hello? Husband, why don't you come over? I'm near our house. It's still half an hour until nine o'clock. I'll definitely make it in time. I just want to chat for a few minutes and see each other." The man breathed softly. In one breath, he said.
"Okay, where are you? I'm coming over now."
On the other side, in the small open park next to it, the gray-robed Taoist was sitting on a stone bench, looking at the beaming woman in front of him, and burst into laughter. They were indeed destined.
He originally just came here for a casual visit, but he never thought that he would meet here during working hours.
Since we met by chance, there's no need to beat around the bush and just invite people over.
The gray-robed Taoist waited quietly and chatted with each other. The woman was not very vigilant. It could be seen that the people she met were all good people and she had never suffered any losses.
Seven or eight minutes later, I saw a thin man wearing a shirt and glasses walking in the distance.
When the woman saw it, she immediately waved.
When the gray-robed Taoist saw the other party, his eyes narrowed slightly and became deep.
I really didn't expect that Yaoxie, who was extremely prejudiced against his son-in-law, could actually see people very accurately.
The man walked up and looked at each other with the gray-robed Taoist. After feeling the gray-robed Taoist's temperament, he knew in his heart that the other party would definitely be able to see something.
His moral conduct was not low, but after the mountain gate was burned down, his qualifications for conferring urn were revoked, and his altar was cracked, he was now so peaceful and not feeling depressed at all, so he must have gone out of his trough.
The man came over and said a few polite words. The gray-robed Taoist didn't say much. He just chatted for a few minutes according to the previous method of contacting believers and laymen.
After the woman got a bunch of satisfactory answers and left contentedly to continue her work, the gray-robed Taoist extended his hand and motioned for the man to sit down and chat.
After sitting down, the man didn't say anything, and the gray-robed Taoist didn't go around in circles and asked directly.
"Which village are you from?" After the gray-robed Taoist asked, he seemed to think it was not very good to ask so directly, so he added: "I have seen people from the White Bone Village and the People from the Peach Blossom Village..."
"Peach Blossom Spring." The man immediately replied.
"Hey, you are different from the people from Peach Blossom Village whom I have seen before." The gray-robed Taoist was a little surprised. He took a closer look and saw that there seemed to be something spiritual on the man's chest. He suddenly said, "No wonder most people can't see through it. you."
Just now, the gray-robed Taoist could only see that the man seemed to be no ordinary person, like an alien from a strange place. Now that he felt it up close, he suddenly realized.
This man's body has no power at all. He is just an ordinary person, so naturally he can't see anything.
He didn't know where he learned the Waidan method and integrated it into his body. All his power was hidden in the thing on his chest.
"It's true that you are doing this to hide it, but one day, if someone discovers your things and becomes malicious, you may be making wedding clothes for others."
"Taoist Priest, you want to see me today, what are you going to say?" The man couldn't hold himself back. He thought he had been discovered.
The gray-robed Taoist just smiled and said.
"Don't be nervous. Pindao is just entrusted by someone. Come and see how your wife is entrusting you. Pindao doesn't know who you are."
"My wife doesn't know this."
"It's the poor guy who's being rude. If you're just an ordinary person, the poor guy's coming here won't have any impact. I never thought that you are also very human. So if I come to see you today, I won't be able to bring you any trouble or attract the blazing sun." Ministry of people.”
Speaking of this, the gray-robed Taoist looked at the man's face, his eyes and his mind, and he had some guesses in his mind. He stood up and said.
"Pindao thinks he's pretty good at judging people. You didn't get married just to hide your identity.
Your wife is the daughter of my friend, and I don't want anything to happen to the person she entrusts her life to, so I have to say a few words.
There is a saying in Zuo Zhuan that when people abandon the ordinary, evil will flourish.
When the demons were in chaos, and all the sentient beings in Peach Blossom Township were in chaos, these words were sent to them. "
Hearing this, the man's expression changed drastically. He had no idea that such a thing existed. Only now did he truly understand why the old Taoist priest sent him that note.
The gray-robed Taoist sighed and continued.
“There are wise men among demons, who have understood this sentence, and the common practice of walking around in demon bodies has now taken hold.
At that time, the people in Peach Blossom Township did not know what was normal and acted recklessly.
What a pity.
While you can still turn around, let's break it off. "
After the gray-robed Taoist finished speaking, he turned and left.
After leaving the city, he heard the sound of evil spirits coming from the cloth bag he carried with him.
"Taoist Master, let me tell you, that boy doesn't look like a good person."
"You can bear it, and you're just opening your mouth now."
"I'm not blind yet. I can see that he treats my daughter very well. The Taoist priest is right. No matter how displeased I am with him, it's not as good as my daughter being happy or being nice to my daughter. ." Yaoxie's tone was a little complicated.
The gray-robed Taoist laughed. Yaoxie had actually changed his nature. Just now, he thought that Yaoxie would jump out and press the people from Peach Blossom Village to the ground and rub them.
"It's really not easy for him to be in this state. He's more human than many ordinary people. He really treats your daughter sincerely. I still think it's not good to be too arbitrary. I still have to give him a chance. If he wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. Even if I do, I can’t wait until today.”
Yaoxie didn't say anything, and suddenly fell silent. Now it was the gray-robed Taoist's turn to be curious.
"You have been talking about it several times every day before, but why did you ignore it today?"
"If that kid is just a financial liar, I am really afraid that one day my house will be splashed with red paint. He is not an ordinary person. Maybe he can still live in this world and have some strength to protect my daughter." Yaoxie's thoughts have indeed changed.
The gray-robed Taoist really didn't expect such a level, and he didn't look at the problem from the perspective of a father.
Yes, the world is different.
They left, and the people of Taohua Township returned home, and they were not interested in the market. He took out the wooden box again and continued to look at the note. Only then did he completely understand.
The old Taoist priest pointed out a clear path for him and gave him a chance.
Today, the gray-robed Taoist priest also pointed out a clear path for him and gave him a chance.
This time he made a choice. If he missed it, he might never have another chance.
He looked at the note and recalled the peaceful days in his mind. He really didn't want to lose them, but he needed to make a choice. It was difficult to have the best of both worlds.
Moreover, things were not as he wished just by making a choice.
When he was staring at the note, a message came on his mobile phone. It looked like a spam marketing text message, and it also came with a link.
He clicked on the link, entered and saw the advertisement, and interpreted the information hidden in it.
The plan of the island country was completed, and now they asked how the plan here was going.
Meanwhile, in Guanzhong County, Wen Yan is still here. He is waiting to see the dust settle on Tong Si and Feng Wei's job transfers and the names of the new jobs are completely determined. At the same time, he is also waiting for Prince Zhu's information to see if there are any clues about the ghosts in the blind corner.
If he finds anything, he will no longer care about hiding it. He will go there as soon as possible to deal with the ghost in the blind corner.
Now he is staying in Prince Zhu's library, looking through various records. There are many rare books here, and many books are books that Wen Yan has never heard of.
Prince Zhu said that he remembered a book that recorded the way to see ghosts in the blind corner.
This is what Wen Yan needs.
Wen Yan doesn't know if he can see ghosts in the blind corner.
According to his estimation, if the prompt is triggered, there will be a temporary ability to see ghosts in the blind corner.
And to trigger the prompt, according to previous experience, you have to see the other party first.
Wen Yan didn't dare to be too confident. He had to find other ways first. He was afraid that if there was a clue, he would be in an awkward situation of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
When he was helping to find the clues here and felt dizzy, Prince Zhu came over with a yellowed ancient book.
"I found it. There is indeed a kind of person, or a way, who can see ghosts in blind corners. I was right."
Coming to the desk, Prince Zhu turned to one of the pages and pointed to the record on it without even a sentence break.
"People in Taohuayuan can see people in blind corners, or take the tears of Taohua villagers, add camphor, and drip into the eyes, and ordinary people can see people in blind corners."
"Cambronzo???"
"A kind of medicinal material!"
"Oh..." Wen Yan smiled embarrassedly. He was shocked just now. He thought to himself, if he could be so awesome as to dig out camphor, why would he bother with this effort?
"What does this Peach Blossom Spring mean? The Peach Blossom Spring in Peach Blossom Spring?"
"Yes, it's them, half human and half ghost, called Peach Blossom Villagers, but it's a pity that they are not easy to find.
Thirty years ago, when Peach Blossom Villagers appeared, they thought that it was the same as before the end of the law, and the imperial law was difficult to pass down to the countryside.
Then they were treated to the Fiery Gatling and suppressed and exterminated.
I haven't heard of Peach Blossom Villagers for at least twenty years. The dead ones are easy to talk about. I remember that the Lieyang tribe has specimens.
But the living ones are not easy to find.
I'll look for it again to see if there is any other way."
"I'll ask someone." Wen Yan took out his mobile phone and asked Black Box to search it first. There were indeed specimens, but there was no record of living Peach Blossom Villagers.
Then Wen Yan asked Black Box to send a message to his "informant", the proprietress of the White Bone Villagers, to ask if he could get the tears of Peach Blossom Villagers.
What are they called? One is a skeleton wearing a painted skin, the other is half human and half ghost. Plus, the lady boss knows a lot of strange creatures, maybe she knows something.
I don't ask for intelligence, I just want the stuff. This informant can always play a role, right?
As long as the stuff is in hand, I will believe it even if you say it is inventory from 30 years ago.
