Chapter 289 The Shadow of the White Snake in the Land of Zhoushan
The land of Yongdong is owned by Yue Kingdom. Since the Yue Kingdom destroyed the Wu Kingdom, the king of Wu Kingdom moved to the land of Yongdong. If history was allowed to develop, it would be renamed Zhoushan in a few years, which would have good development prospects.
Su Cheng left the Netherworld Sea of Blood from the underworld, and then came directly to the land of Zhoushan.
The reason for getting here is that in the mouth of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I learned that after becoming Guanyin Bodhisattva, Miaoshan has lived in the human temple for a long time. Therefore, Su Cheng came here to find Miaoshan.
Near the seaside, there is a small town with about a thousand households, with houses scattered and the streets are filled with bumpy mud and water. At this time, Sucheng was walking leisurely, and saw white cloth hanging on the street. Children ran by in groups, rushing to eat mats. Unconsciously, he slowed down and walked slowly on the street.
There is a family on the easternmost side of the town, and now there are many people surrounding the door.
The yard was crying, while some neat chefs outside were already busy, killing chickens and fish, and breaking down big pigs.
"Young Master, why are you standing here? Come and do a favor."
An old man who was busy saw Sucheng Xian Station and shouted quickly.
"I'm just a little younger."
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng walked forward, reached out and lifted the rice jar with the greeting person, put it outside, and said, "If it were age, I would be more than enough to be your grandfather."
"Drink, you are so angry."
When the old man heard Su Cheng's words, he was not very angry and said with a smile: "Our place is not lazy when it's old. As long as it's alive, everyone has to work. If you don't work a day, you will be hungry every day. Don't say that you are young, just say that you are really my grandfather. You can only leave and talk now, and you have to come out to work."
Those who don’t work will not be allowed to eat.
Su Cheng nodded, of course he understood this truth.
"Young Son, where did you come from?"
The old man asked Su Chengdao.
Now the world is relatively closed, with accents changing every three miles and every five miles. Most people guard several pieces of land at home, or adhere to their ancestral property, and do it for a lifetime. Therefore, most of the faces of each family are informed. When Su Cheng comes here, he just talks and looks at Su Cheng's face again, which is enough to make them judge to be outsiders.
Su Cheng chuckled and said, "Chu State."
Su Cheng did not change his accent or fabricate his identity, but was still using the accent of Chu.
"Chu State?"
The old man nodded and thought for a while, and said, "I have heard of the war between Wu and Chu. I heard that Wu has killed in the state of Chu. Is the Chu State now in chaos?"
The old man took Su Cheng as a fleeing famine for granted.
"well enough."
Su Cheng said: "The state of Chu is still invincible, and there is still a strong day."
After the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, all the kings of Wu were moved here, and it was not surprising that the old man knew about these things.
"You said you are from Chu, do you have any posts to prove it?"
A middle-aged man was around the old man, and he interrupted and asked when he heard the conversation between the two.
Su Cheng thought for a while and said, "There is a post, but it has been useless for a long time." Su Cheng took out the post from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man also knew some words. After getting the post in his hand, he carefully reviewed it and recited: "King Zhuang of Chu... Oh, the king over your side is called King Zhuang of Chu."
"right."
Su Cheng took the post and smiled and said, "But I heard that he is dead."
After talking to the old man and the middle-aged man, they all knew each other, and Su Cheng also got to know each other.
Su Cheng did not fabricate his identity, and the old man was named Chen Tao and the middle-aged man was named Chen Jun. They were all fishermen from Yongdong. Now that the person here is dead, they all came to help when they were about to be buried.
"It's my cousin who died."
Chen Jun told Su Cheng about the past and said, "His name is Chen Huang. He usually reads some books at home and celebrates the New Year's greetings in every village. He wants to write, read some letters, or prescribe some elementary school for his children. He always looks for him. He often runs out. More than a month ago, he went to Lijiazhuang in the west to celebrate his birthday. It suddenly rained heavily on the way back, separating him in the mountains, and came back until noon the next day."
"It's strange that he was in the mountains for a night, and his clothes were not wet at all, and his whole face was full of rosy. After arriving at home, he looked for my uncle and aunt, and insisted that they go to Lijiazhuang to propose marriage, wanting to marry the white girl there."
"He said that a white girl took him in all night. The two talked a lot at night, and he led the white girl as his confidant in life."
Chen Jun shook his head and said, "He was really confused. Lijiazhuang has all the surname Li, where did the white girls come from? My uncle and aunt asked all the way, but there was no place for this white girl, so there was no way to discuss the proposal. But my cousin was ill after all."
"Before dying, I told my uncle and aunt that I had been sick because of Miss Bai. If Miss Bai could pass by his house, please tell Miss Bai to let Miss Bai know his infatuation."
Death by love.
Su Cheng looked into the room, shook his head, and said, "You can't even think about cause and effect. The girl was there for a night so that he would not be frozen. This was originally a good cause, but it had a bad result."
Chen Jun nodded and said, "Who said no? Maybe he is the last of his life."
While talking, Su Cheng and Chen Jun and Chen Tao moved the rice and flour outside, and set up a large pot outside the yard, boiling a pot of water.
"Master Zhao is here."
Someone outside called out, and Baixin, who were originally packing up food, put down his work and walked outside.
Su Cheng followed and saw that surrounded by the crowd, there was a Taoist priest in his forties. His Taoist robe was neither new nor old, his clothes were very neat, and he also held a magic ruler and sword in his hand, and walked towards the room with his head held high.
"This is the most famous wizard here. He doesn't come to Yongdong very much on weekdays. All my cousin is very handsome and familiar with him during his lifetime, so he came here."
Ma Jun said to Su Cheng: "We, the wizard, can pardon the rat, and can also make the rat speak."
Su Cheng nodded, followed Ma Jun into the room, and mixed in the crowd watching the fun.
There was a straw mat in the middle of the room.
Chen Huang's body was lying on it. Su Cheng seemed to be skinny and even though he was wearing clothes, his bones were still vivid in his eyes.
"This is a ghost-loving person! He will not eat or drink, and he will be in vain to save his life."
Master Zhao entered the room, looked at Chen Huang's body on the straw mat, and asserted.
"Ghostly obsessed?"
Chen Huang's parents were beside him. When he heard this, he looked at the corpse on the ground and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Of course I'm obsessed with it!"
Master Zhao said, "Eating and drinking water is human instinct. Even if you don't want to eat, you will eat naturally when you really want to eat. Moreover, he still thinks of others in his heart, and he has no desire to die of hunger strike... You really should have notified me early, and maybe you can save him."
"Master."
Chen Huang's parents shouted in grief: "Now my son is dead, I just want the wizard to save him and capture this evil spirit and avenge my son! Although my family doesn't have much money, I will definitely give it all."
“No need to do so.”
Master Zhao said righteously: "A person who practices Taoism is to capture evil spirits for good deeds and duties. Since this evil spirit dares to harm others, I will naturally not forgive her."
While speaking, Master Zhao took out the bamboo basket on his body and opened it, he saw that there were about ten rats inside.
These mice were all fat, but after leaving the bamboo basket, they shivered and shrank in a ball.
"What's wrong?"
Master Zhao looked at these mice and repeatedly used magic, but could not find the reason.
"Rats also have things they fear."
