Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 159 Broken
In his aged voice, he recounted the past friendship with Wang Xiaohei’s grandfather, A Guang. It turned out that he and A Guang had been friends for more than ten years. A Guang was younger than Wang Da, but the two became acquainted through listening to operas. , both of them love to listen to the town's opera excerpts, such as "Double Brocade Yi".

This Qin Opera excerpt tells the story of the love entanglement between two lovers in the Southern Song Dynasty and the feelings of family and country. At that time, the play also specifically mentioned assisting King Kang of the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the invasion of the Jin soldiers. Elder Wang and A Guang could both hear it. They all believe that only if "the country is safe can the family be safe."

The two people had so similar views that they hit it off immediately and became close friends.

"Ah Guang loved his grandson very much and loved his family very much. Unfortunately, he had been suffering from diseases since he was a child and passed away early. When he left, little Heizi was only ten years old. He held his grandfather's hand and refused. After a while, he kept crying, and the younger generations of the family made A Guang into a puppet according to the method passed down from generation to generation. Perhaps it was because A Guang had a good relationship with me before he died, but this child later became particularly close to me and also called me grandpa. .”

"Hey, Grandpa, don't keep mentioning these old things and make the many immortal friends from Taixu Mountain laugh at me! Besides, my A Guang is very loyal. I have been wandering around the town for a long time these days, and it is A Guang who Protect me, even if it’s not completely dark now, there are no strangers walking around in the town, there are only some unruly puppets wandering around, and they keep making trouble and yelling, I don’t know what is agitating?”

When Wang Xiaohei said this, he scratched his head as if he thought of something good, and chuckled, "It seems... the whole Wangjia Town just saw that our Aguang didn't go crazy anymore."

"Then you can't take any chances. We still haven't figured out the reason yet..." Elder Wang couldn't help but say a few words to Wang Xiaohei.

Gardenia found something in these chats, and it seemed that there were some details that she should pay attention to, "What? Why is your Aguang the only one in the town who hasn't gone crazy?"

"I'm not sure," Wang Xiaohei shook his head and chuckled, "Maybe my grandfather still remembers me and protects me even if he dies."

The grandfather he mentioned at this time naturally refers to the puppet A Guang.

"Is that so?" Gardenia frowned slightly, with some unclear thoughts lingering in her heart. She always felt that things would not be that simple.Perhaps the key to solving this matter is to figure out the reason why A Guang is the only puppet who is not restless and unruly.

Wang Xiaohei wondered: "If it's not like this, what could it be? But it's almost dark. Don't walk around the town casually. Close the door tightly at night and don't come out. Now there are three families in the town, and a total of eight people have been killed. , including a child..."

His words made everyone present feel uneasy again. Although Elder Wang's house is spacious, it cannot accommodate so many people in Taixu Mountain.

Before it was completely dark, Elder Wang arranged for the rest of the people in Taixu Mountain to live in other elders' homes, leaving only Beimian, Gardenia, Ni Anzhi and Nangong Wenxiu to continue to live in his home.

After arranging all this, it was completely dark, and Azhong, who was shut up in the main room, began to become restless again. He kept roaring and barking, and kept scratching the iron door that closed him with his long nails. The sound of "clang, clang, clap, clap", every time it is grasped, is like grabbing the heartstrings of people's hearts, making people feel fear and horror.

Wang Xiaohei took A Guang away after dinner at Elder Wang's house.

"Alas..." Elder Wang was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the remains of food on the table, and sighed, "Tonight may be another sleepless night. If the country is safe, the family will be safe, but now every family is uneasy. If the situation is over, how can the country be safe?"

The night is getting darker, and as Wang Xiaohei said, there is no one left in Wangjia Town. There are only some dead leaves rolling on the ground with the evening wind, not knowing where they are going.

The entire Wangjia Town no longer had the bustling scene of the past, but instead it was filled with layers of strong death energy, like a huge shadow covering everyone's heart.Gardenia and Ni Anzhi have been guarding the main entrance of Elder Wang's house, observing the situation in the town through the crack in the door. Nangong Wenxiu has always been more timid. She hid behind a row of chairs and looked at Gardenia, but she Don't dare to go near the door.

Different from the nervousness of the three of them, Bei Mian was sitting at the coffee table in the main room, leisurely and contentedly sipping his favorite Fangshan Luya. He seemed not at all concerned about the puppets in the town who were hurting people at night and causing trouble. do not worry.

"Bang bang bang -" After waiting for a long time, someone knocked on the door, and the sound of knocking on the door this time was very different from the sound of ordinary people knocking on the door. It was extremely loud, as if with endless strength.

Nangong Wenxiu poked her head out from behind the chair and asked quietly: "Are you here? Are you really here?" Seeing Gardenia and Ni Anzhi nodding solemnly, she was so nervous that she dropped the fairy sword in her hand. On the ground, "What should I do? What should I do?"

The puppet Ah Zhong, who was originally locked in a corner in the house, may have heard the movement outside the door, so he roared even louder and scratched the door louder.

Beimian took a sip of tea, looked up at Gardenia and Ni Anzhi, and said, "Go out and have a look."

Gardenia and Ni Anzhi were about to open the door when they heard an extremely resentful roar and wailing from outside the door, "Ah, I'm not willing to accept it..." That voice further confirmed that the puppet knocking on the door was Wang Jitong.

Gardenia looked through the crack in the door and saw that Wang Jitong had not been seen for more than ten days. After being made into a puppet, he didn't know whether the scars on his face were scratched by himself or by other puppets. He was even more disgusting, and his clothes were in tatters and in disgrace.

Perhaps he smelled the scent of gardenias in the crack of the door outside, and suddenly became furious, roared, and even banged the door with his body.

The sound of "——" banging on the door made it clear that Wang Jitong was obviously different from the other puppets. Perhaps it was because he had learned the method of cultivating immortals for a few days before, and he was much stronger than the other puppets.

Seeing that the door of Elder Wang's house was crumbling, Gardenia and Ni Anzhi looked at each other and suddenly opened the door——

A white rainbow sword was unsheathed and stabbed towards Wang Jitong's body. Wang Jitong was already a puppet and his body was not as flexible as before. Gardenia's sword brought another two points of spiritual power. He could not dodge and was stabbed in the chest on the spot. A bloody hole immediately appeared.

The puppet would be injured, but would not feel any pain. Wang Jitong was stabbed by Gardenia and his eyes turned red. He grabbed Gardenia's White Rainbow Sword and tried to break it with brute force.

Gardenia couldn't believe it. This was the White Rainbow Sword given to her by Master Bei Mian. It could not be damaged easily. She instinctively drew the talisman with her hands and struck Wang Jitong with a fire talisman without any hesitation.

　A Guang and Elder Wang both loved listening to the opera excerpt "Double Brocade Clothes".
