Dao Pi Jiu Xiao

Chapter 345 Greed
Qinghong and Li Jingxun followed the way of ordinary people and headed in the other direction, resting at an inn in a small town in the evening.

This small town is quite noisy, and there are many people going to the market from all directions.The only few inns in the town were full one by one, and finally, as a last resort, Li Jingxun and Qinghong had to squeeze into a dilapidated warehouse.

This warehouse is at the end of the inn, and it is located in a remote location, so few people come here.Moreover, the warehouse is dark and damp, not a place to live for a long time.

The two frowned, but finally endured it.After all, the two of them had to experience a lot of hardships when they traveled around the world, and this was just a mere trifle.

Qinghong stood at the door, silently watching the health of the town.Li Jingxun began to tidy up the mattresses, light up the lights, and tidy up the house.After everything was done, she asked Qinghong: "Brother, can you feel it?"

"This place is different, the golden energy in the town is mixed, I'm afraid something is not good."

"What, is that group of people again?"

"It should be them. Unexpectedly, the game world is not peaceful. But it's good, it's better to find out early than to be tossed by them later." Qinghong sighed: "It's really old enemies, this is the first time we have met Are you a member of Tianxin Demon Sect?"

"Seventh—eighth time."

"The eighth time? I hope nothing harms innocent people this time."

The Tianxin Demon Sect is one of the few sects in the demon world who enter the Tao with heart demons.The Demon Sect emphasizes the seven emotions and six desires as nourishment, and is different from the general way of cultivating evil spirits. They are better at wandering around the world, provoking the emotions of mortals, and using that strong emotion to refine the seven emotions pills for them.

Qinghong and Li Jingxun have traveled in the past few years and met many disciples of Tianxin Demon Sect.If you are lucky, you can even capture people and send them to the Demon Town Tower. If you are not lucky, you can only watch people escape.

"This small town is small, and there are few tourists on weekdays. Therefore, several inns are not prepared enough. Right now, the crowds are pouring into the town, forcing them to use even the firewood warehouse."

Qinghong walked around the inn and saw the firewood in the firewood room scattered in the corner.There are also the original goods in the warehouse, which are also scattered in other places in the inn.

If there is any good or bad, if there is a big fire, how many people will die in the inn?
A thought flashed in Qinghong's mind, and he said to Li Jingxun: "It's evening, if you and I are not going to have dinner at the inn, why don't we go out and have a look?"

"Alright."

The two packed up and went out to inquire about information.

The town is called Chuanyang Town, and it was originally a quiet and remote place.But a few days ago, someone suddenly found gold nuggets from the bottom of the river in the distance.After the news spread, many villagers in the town went to the river to visit, and they also dug gold nuggets one after another.

Gold hidden at the bottom of the river!

The news quickly spread from Chuanyang Town to the surrounding villages and towns, so many people flocked here, wanting to make a fortune in the river.

The two of Qinghong walked on the narrow and crowded street.As night approached, there were still many people in the small town, and even many people who couldn't afford to stay in the inn were laying on the floor in the corner.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Qinghong vaguely felt a wave of excitement.

Suddenly, seeing a group of beggars in the distance, Qinghong's eyes moved slightly: "Junior Sister, there are members of the Beggar Gang here, you go and ask about the situation?"

"Alright." The two separated for a while, Li Jingxun went to find out about the situation of the Beggar Gang, but Qinghong jumped up and stood in an attic on the highest point of the town, looking around the town of Chuanyang.

There is a canal next to Chuanyang Town.This canal is drawn from the river thirty feet away, and it can be used to protect the town from fire on weekdays.Of course, the domestic water in the town is also here.The daily sewage is led downstream from the city through the drainage channels introduced by the canals.

"Although the scale of this small town is small, it has unique ingenuity, which shows that the designer's mind is ingenious."

After watching for a while, Li Jingxun came to look for it, and Qinghong jumped back to the ground: "Junior Sister, how is your situation?"

"About gold being dug out of the river. I have three rumors."

"Oh? Three copies?"

"One is that this place was the location of a treasure left by the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago. The gold at the bottom of the river is actually a treasure left by the previous dynasty."

"In that case, the imperial court will not sit idly by."

"So, this rumor is absurd, and no one is foolish enough to report it to the government."

"What about the second?"

"A certain rich man died by the river last year. His property fell into the water and is being fished out."

"There's something plausible about that. What else?"

"Gold produced at the bottom of the river."

"Judging from the water quality and soil, this river course will never produce gold, and there is no so-called ore vein." Qinghong asserted: "The gold must be hidden at the bottom of the river. By the way, junior sister, this news has been circulating for a few days gone?"

"It is said that the news spread four days ago. And it is only five days since No.1 dug up gold."

"Five days? The time is too short. No.1 dug gold, spread the news five days later, and then gathered so many people in four days? Even if the money is tempting, it is impossible to spread so fast in five days. People in a few big cities saw it. The news spread in two days. Doesn’t it need a few days of fermentation time to determine? Five days are enough for one round trip, and counting the intermediate fermentation time, it is absolutely impossible to be nine days .At least that means—"

"It means that someone is really behind the push? Junior sister, I have sent someone to find the person who dug up the gold in the first place, hoping it will be a breakthrough."

"Ah."

Li Jingxun paused for a moment, then asked again: "The method of the Demon Sect is playing tricks on people's hearts. Is it to use money to lure people's greed, and then provoke mortals to fight among themselves?"

What are "swallowing a golden food child" and "two peaches killing three warriors", the two of them encountered a lot when dealing with Tianxin Demon Sect.

The sea of ​​suffering in the world, greed, hatred, ignorance and other desires are the source of Tianxin Demon Sect.

According to Ji Feichen's understanding of Tianxin Demon Sect, Tianxin Demon Sect has a bright future.After all, there is no so-called "heavenly demon" in Xuanzhengzhou.Not to mention that if you practice to a certain level in the fairy family, there will be external demons to obstruct it.The existence of Tianxin Demon Sect, in Ji Feichen's speculation, may be the predecessor of Tianxin Demon.That day, a celestial demon appeared in the Heart Demon Sect and opened up a cave.The cave with the spirit as its source can be regarded as an extraterrestrial demon world, which automatically absorbs all kinds of negative emotions from the sea of ​​mortals and bitterness to grow.At that time, they can secretly block the Tao when they are practicing in the Xian family.

In Ji Feichen's eyes, the threat of Tianxin Demon Sect is still above the sea of ​​blood.

"Using money to lure, Tianxin Demon Sect can definitely do it. But I always feel that there is something wrong behind it. Let's go back and talk about it." Seeing the people coming and going around, Qinghong took Li Jingxun's hand and returned to the inn.

It just so happened that the waiter in the shop was adding water to their houses, and the three of them collided.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Qinghong took a sniff, and immediately stepped forward: "Brother, is this water brought from the river?"

The waiter shook his head: "In the past few days, people often dig gold in the river, how can the river water be drunk? This is the well in our backyard. This well is one of the only three wells in our Chuanyang Town. It belongs to our inn. The treasure of the town shop is only enjoyed by our shopkeeper’s house on weekdays. There is no water in the city these days, so the shopkeeper deliberately asked us to fetch water from the well in the backyard for the guests to make tea. It’s time for the two guests to catch up .”

Li Jingxun: "A good time? The river water can't be used, how inconvenient. Don't you all fetch water from the backyard for washing and cooking?"

"The well doesn't produce much water, it's just for our inn to drink. But don't worry, the water for washing and cooking is all brought from far upstream by our people early in the morning." Speaking of this, the waiter seemed to think What, keep silent.

"Brother, if you have something to say, why don't you just say it? We are not gold diggers, and we will leave after only a few days, without delaying your business. Looking at the boundary you have arranged for us, is there anything else to say? of?"

"I will tell you the truth. Many gold diggers have come from all directions in the past few days. It seems that they intend to intercept the upper reaches and temporarily cut off the river channel so that they can fish for gold from the bottom of the river."

"Cut off the river?" Qinghong narrowed his eyes, as if he understood something.

"I don't need you here, go down first."

The waiter from the sending shop left, and the two returned to the warehouse.

In the small warehouse, there is only a small wooden bed and a table.

Qinghong opened the teapot and checked: "The water is really good, it seems that there are still some good things in this town."

The few green leaves in the teapot are floating in the emerald green tea.After pouring a cup and tasting it, you can feel a slight sweetness, which is completely different from ordinary well water.

"By the way, there is actually a little spiritual energy in this water?" Li Jingxun looked at the teapot and asked in surprise, "Is this actually a spiritual spring?"

"Chuanyang Town, I'm afraid this town is not simple!" Afterwards, Qinghong moved a small bench and immediately began to draw and paint the composition of the entire town.

Li Jingxun looked at the small wooden bed in the warehouse: "Brother, tonight..."

"You sleep on the bed, I lay on the floor. It doesn't matter. Why do we immortals care about this? Come and see my drawings." Qinghong buried his head in his pen and invited Li Jingxun to come over after he finished the drawing.

"look--"

Qinghong pointed to the blueprint and said: "Chuanyang Town is built on the side of the river. The canal leads from the river, turns from the south gate to the west gate, and then returns to the river from the north gate. This canal surrounds the town and is also their drainage channel. .”

Li Jingxun's Qianqianyu finger clicked on the drawing, and the whole person entered a state of meditation, exploring the terrain of Chuanyang Town with the Dafa of inspiration.

"Because of the terrain, the south is high and the north is low, and the drainage canal flows from south to north. Take Suzaku Road, re-flow into the canal at the north gate, and then discharge it into the downstream mouth of the river?"

"That's right. In this way, drinking and drainage are both correct, and it can still prevent fire on weekdays. But—"

After all, the girl and Qinghong connected with each other, and immediately understood Qinghong's meaning: "Brother is worried that the river will be blocked, so the water in the river will not be able to flow into the town. If there is a fire in the town, will there be a catastrophe?"

"good."

"But on the map drawn by senior brother, didn't there be corresponding backup methods?" Li Jingxun pointed at the four corners of the town: "Chuanyang Town leads four reservoirs from the canal to supply water for daily life. If There is a real fire, and the water is enough for the time being. This should be a countermeasure for the predecessors who worried that someone would block the river during the war and cut off the drinking water in the town. It can be used at this time."

"A small fire, maybe the fire prevention measures prepared in the town will work. But don't forget, there are a lot of people in the town right now. What if there is a panic stampede?"

Right now, there are people laying pavements on both sides of the street.You know, there is no official way in this kind of town.Sleeping on the ground with pedestrians, if there is a commotion, I am afraid it will be too late to put out the fire.

"Not to mention, there are a lot of outsiders in the town. The neighbors in the town may be able to mobilize and work together to control the fire. But the first reaction of these outsiders when they encounter a fire is to save lives or save lives?"

The streets in the town are not wide at all, if there is another crowd, it will be crowded.One side carries water to save people, while the other side runs for life, and the two face each other on the street. The fire that could have been saved will become irreversible due to the spread of the fire.If there is another stampede to death, it will be even more troublesome.

Li Jingxun woke up immediately after hearing this.Thinking deeper, I am afraid there is another intention in this matter.

"If the town is really burned, the surviving townspeople will definitely vent their anger on others. And the gold diggers who come from all directions will become a vent. Is this going to force them to kill each other? Indeed, this seems to be the work of Tianxin Demon Sect , using mortals to kill each other to obtain corresponding negative emotions."

"It's possible. But, don't you think the sacrifice is a bit big?" Qinghong was a little puzzled: "It is true that after Chuanyang Town is destroyed by fire, the townspeople will inevitably be hit hard, and then Tianxin Demon Sect will be provided with corresponding negative Emotions. Emotions such as grief, sadness, regret, and even resentment are their excellent food. But this kind of emotion is only a one-time harvest at the expense of the number of mortals. It is better to slowly run here for several years. The Tianxin Demon Sect is not a fool, how could it not have thought of this step?"

"Brother's thinking, could it be that there are other demon forces behind it?"

"If the Demon Sect is united, it is impossible to target this small town. It should be a member of the Tianxin Demon Sect, but several affiliated forces may be involved? But if the Tianxin Demon Sect is still the leader, it will definitely not do such a thing. Conspicuous things. Hiding in the dark, inducing mortals to kill each other, absorbing power little by little, this is their usual trick.”

"Set fire to the town in one go. Although it was a big deal, it went against the usual delicate approach of Tianxin Demon Sect. I always feel that they have other plans behind their backs."

Qinghong couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter what, let's just oppose what they want to do. It's my chance to do this well."

Hearing this, Li Jingxun smiled: "Yes, if the other party really wants to set fire. Then the brother who is good at flying clouds and rain must be a good time to reap merits. By the way, I can also spread your 24 solar terms."

"It's not just that. I have a feeling in the dark that there is red air rising and white waves rolling under this small town. I think it has the foundation of the divine way. Here, a water god should be born."

The Tianxin Demon Sect set fire to the town, gold appeared under the river, the well of the inn contained spiritual energy, and there was a rising water god in the town.Pieces of piles illustrate the extraordinaryness of this place.

　I am also very helpless about the update issue.After all, I have to take care of the update next door, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, right?One side is updated early, and the other side is naturally late.
