Daming King of Punishment

Page 389

"Brother Wu Ya, let's go over and see what's going on!" Bai Zhuo couldn't hold back his curiosity, and tiptoed over the chaotic crowd to look at the bullock cart in the distance.

Song Wuya nodded, and the four immediately headed towards the bullock cart.He was also curious to know what had gone wrong up front that would cause such confusion among the people.

Cutting through the crowd, they approached the bullock cart.

Among the crowd, near the bullock cart, the previous Taoist priests surrounded the bullock cart, while the few farmers were already kneeling on the ground in horror, kowtowing to the bullock cart.

The sky was still flickering with lightning, and the chaotic crowd dispersed in an instant.

There was a smell of burning, the ox cart had been overturned, and the tribute covered under the red cloth was also scattered on the ground.

"Hey! This tribute is really strange! Besides the three animals, there seems to be a lot of food!" Bai Zhuo looked at the scattered things on the ground and asked strangely.

Song Wuya was also very surprised about this matter, and when he was about to answer, the Taoist priest in front seemed to have heard their conversation, frowned and said: "The mountain god is already angry, and the idlers back immediately, if you don't listen to the poor Taoist, If you get into trouble, you can't blame others!"

The Taoist's admonition made them even more strange. Song Wuya didn't say anything, and led Bai Zhuo and the others back, while continuing to look at the bullock cart.

The old cow had fallen to the ground at this time, bright red blood was flowing from between the eyebrows, and there were still a lot of paper ashes on the blood-stained cheeks.

Isn't that the place where the Thunderbolt Curse was pasted just now?

Looking at the old cow who was still panting, Song Wuya dragged a few people away from here.

Seeing that it was going to rain, they had to find a place to settle down.

"It's going to rain soon, we won't go to the magistrate's yamen, let's find an inn to settle down first." Song Wuya said to them, and began to look around to find the inn.

As soon as the words fell, there was another thunderstorm in the sky, and the big raindrops poured down.

"No, hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain." Song Wuya yelled, turned around and dragged Situ Wen like a nearby shop.

Soon they entered the shop, but fortunately they responded in a timely manner and were not completely drenched by the rain.

"Shopkeeper, it's raining suddenly, we'll take shelter in your store for now." Song Wuya entered the store, ignoring his clothes, and immediately said politely to the store owner One sentence.

This is a tailor's shop, and the shopkeeper seems to be busy with the work in his hands. Hearing Song Wuya's words, he raised his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's raining heavily today, and my shop just doesn't have much business. You guys Find a place to sit by yourself, I still have some things to do, so I won't greet you."

Song Wuya and the others nodded to the shopkeeper, and found a place to sit down.

"Why does it rain when it rains today?"

Bai Zhuo was still very puzzled, when they entered the city just now, they only felt that it was evening, and they didn't feel that the weather was turning cloudy. He didn't expect that the rain would come down just as soon as they entered the city and while they were talking.

Song Wuya frowned, took a deep breath and said, "It's already spring, and rain is a common occurrence. I haven't looked at the sky much today, so it's no wonder we're not prepared."

"Wu Ya, what do you think happened to that cow? It looks like it was really struck by lightning!" Situ Wen was curious about the cow, so she found a place to shelter from the rain and listened to the noise outside. The sound of thunder and rain asked Song Wuya for help.

Regarding this matter, Song Wuya shook his head and denied it.

"That cow was definitely not caused by lightning strikes." Song Wuya is very clear about this. After all, the phenomenon of lightning strikes may still be a relatively superstitious thing in this era, but to him, it is not considered at all What. "If the cow was struck by lightning, it would definitely hurt the whole body. It's not as simple as a spot between the eyebrows. Moreover, the cow was only panting heavily and did not twitch, which is enough to show that it was caused by other reasons."

Song Wuya's words made it very clear, if it wasn't done by God, then it was man-made.

Bai Zhuo exclaimed: "Could it be that those Taoist priests are causing trouble? But why do they want to make trouble with this old cow?"

"Didn't you notice what they said before? If there is any offense, the mountain god will be angry. Doesn't this just fulfill what they said?" Song Wuya thought clearly about this Taoist priest, after all, he is not Superstitious. "I think these Taoist priests are just some fake Taoist priests who have taken off the clothes of Taoism and used the name of Taoism to cheat food and drink. Their purpose of doing this is just to make people believe in their strength."

The matter of a monster, I didn't expect to attract a fake Taoist priest.

The theory of the mountain god seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, otherwise those farmers might not be afraid to become like this.

Song Wuya got up and came to the door, looking into the distance.In the hazy rain and fog, there were no people to be seen, and it was unknown where those Taoist priests and farmers had gone.

"According to what they said, they should be going to sacrifice to the mountain god. Those farmers should be the residents of the village near the mountain forest where the accident occurred." Situ Wen did not continue to ask about the priest, but instead focused on the mountain god and the farmers body.

Song Wuya nodded and said: "Yes! What happened here? All kinds of ghosts and snakes have appeared! The theory of mountain gods is just superstition. There are no ghosts and gods in this world. Since ancient times, those The so-called gods are nothing more than the beliefs in the hearts of the people, and they are intended to be a spiritual comfort."

They can understand this, but those people are unwilling to give up on it.

"Brother Wu Ya, then tell me what methods those fake Taoists used to make the Thunderbolt Curse seem real!" Bai Zhuo obviously couldn't understand the reason behind it. "After all, we just watched the Taoist priest draw the Thunderbolt spell in front of everyone, and cast the spell on it at the same time. Just after he cast the spell, Tiangong suddenly went out of his way, and there was a thunderstorm. And the Thunderbolt Curse also took effect at this moment, blowing the old cow to the ground. Isn't all this a bit too coincidental? I don't know what kind of methods and methods they used!"

Although Song Wuya didn't see with his own eyes what kind of means they used, but guesses can also be guessed.

"Just now, I smelled the smell of gunpowder in the smell of burning! The Thunderbolt Curse must have used gunpowder. Taking advantage of the coincidence of the sky thunder, it was skillfully cast so that people would believe it!" Song Wuya said with certainty: "I think these people are somewhat capable, otherwise they wouldn't have grasped the timing so accurately!"

"Uncle! There is a lot of food in that cart, and I don't know what it is used for! Could it be that the villagers ate it?" Xiaohuan naturally has her own curiosity, and she also agrees with the previous questions. Curious, but Song Wuya explained everything, but Bai Zhuo and Situ Wen didn't ask about this matter either.

This is what Song Wuya and the others were confused about at first.But now Song Wuya felt that he had some guesses.

"The food must not belong to the farmers. They grow their own food, so they probably wouldn't buy it from others. Besides, how could the food of ordinary people be mixed with the tributes of mountain gods? I think this is probably what the Taoists meant. It's just I don't understand why they use these grains to enshrine to the mountain gods? After all, they did this scam for money, so there shouldn't be such a thing? Maybe this grain has something to do with their next scam! "

Song Wuya didn't know this, so he could only guess that it had something to do with the deceit behind those fake Taoist priests.

Chapter 421 A Succession of Strange Events

?Chapter 421 A series of strange events

The torrential rain came and went quickly, but it took only a moment of incense, and the heavy rain turned into sporadic raindrops.

At this time, the sky also darkened, and the weather became much colder after a spring rain.

"Thank you shopkeeper, the rain has stopped, we won't bother you anymore." Song Wuya turned and said goodbye to the shopkeeper behind him politely.

The shopkeeper just nodded at a few people, it seemed that he hadn't finished the work in his hands, and didn't say anything like Song Wuya and the others.

I thought that the shopkeeper would talk to him more or less, but I didn't expect that he didn't say anything at all.This forced Song Wuya to ask again: "If you don't know the shopkeeper, do you know where there is an inn nearby?"

"Oh! Go straight along the street to the east, and you will see it soon." The shopkeeper of the tailor shop told Song Wuya when he heard Song Wuya's inquiry.

After thanking Zhang Guo again, Song Wuya and the others left the tailor shop. According to what the shopkeeper said, they saw an inn, Yingsifang Inn, as expected.

"Shopkeeper, is there any room left?"

As soon as he entered the inn, Song Wuya immediately asked about the room.

As soon as he said these words, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him warmly: "There are plenty of rooms, a few guests, please come in quickly."

The innkeeper twisted his fat body and ran straight out from the counter.Song Wuya and the others did not expect such an enthusiastic appearance, Song Wuya and others immediately entered inside.

At this time, the waiter in the shop ran down from the second floor, and as soon as he poked his head from the stairs, he yelled, "Boss, that customer has lost his temper again!"

"Hey! What can I do!" The shopkeeper frowned when he heard this, showing a bitter expression.

Seeing the situation, Song Wuya didn't ask any further questions.In just a split second, the shopkeeper hurriedly put away the bitter look on his face, squeezed out a smile and asked Song Wuya: "How many rooms do you want?"

"Two rooms are enough!" Song Wuya explained the demand to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper greeted Song Wuya to the counter, and after accepting the deposit, he ordered the waiter to take them to the second floor.
