Concubine's true colors

Chapter 219 The Legend of the Black Mountain King

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu and the two of them entered the town, they stopped. Immediately, the old man Zhao sighed sadly.

"Both benefactors, now you should believe the old man's words. It's not because I'm stingy and I don't want to entertain you. It's because our town is really unclean."

For example, the streets are full of white silk and ghost coins all over the place. Although Xiao Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, she is not that afraid of ghosts and ghosts. She herself has been a ghost before. The atmosphere, just trying to scare her out of her guts, is really not enough.

Immediately with a gentle smile, Xiao Jinxuan stepped on the Mingbi paper money and walked forward calmly, and said calmly:

"Father, don't worry about us. Since you dare to come with you, even if there are those ghosts and ghosts, the two of us are not afraid. On the contrary, it is the white silk hanging in every household, which makes me puzzled. Could it be that you Every family here is dead."

Already leading the two of Xiao Jinxuan out of the main street and turning into a simple alley, the old man Zhao nodded immediately, but then shook his head again.

"It's inaccurate to say that these people are dead, because they are the same as the old man, all relatives are missing, they can't see the people when they are alive, and they can't see the corpse after death, so they can only hang the white silk in front of the door, but because they can't find them The dead body cannot be buried, and some white silk is hung to comfort the missing relatives."

While speaking, old man Zhao brought them to a place in front of a yellow mud tile house, pushed open the fence door, and walked in.

"Da Nier, come out soon, there are guests at home, if I hadn't met these two benefactors, grandpa, I would be torn apart by the bamboo bear today, quickly take out the white rice at home, and the one I caught two days ago Bamboo rat, hurry up and prepare the food, grandpa must thank you very much."

As soon as the old man Zhao finished speaking, a young girl came out from the mud-brick house with a big face and a thin waist. Her long hair was braided into a big braid, with a red rope tied at the end, and her eyes were straight. Big, smiling with a simple face.

This girl named Da Nier is the granddaughter of the old man Zhao. She is a typical peasant girl with buttocks all over her body, hard-working and hard-working, simple temperament.

As soon as she came to the front, she heard that Xiao Jinxuan and Xiao Jinxuan turned out to be her grandfather's savior, and immediately Da Nier was about to kneel down and kowtow to thank her.

It was just a matter of little effort, and with the addition of the old man Zhao and his granddaughter, it was hard enough. How could Xiao Jinxuan accept this gift from the other party, so she quickly supported Da Nier, and said kindly:

"Da Nier, get up quickly. Although we saved your grandfather, we still have to disturb you here tonight and stay overnight. So to be honest, it's the two of us who are bothering you. If you are so polite, But it forced us to leave."

Upon hearing this, Da Nier showed a shy smile on her plain face, but when she heard that Xiao Jinxuan and the others were going to stay overnight, she immediately shook her head vigorously and said:
"No, no, we can't take in outsiders in this town, otherwise it's not kindness, but harming people. We are under the jurisdiction of the King of Montenegro. As long as outsiders come, they will definitely cause death. "

After saying this, Da Nier couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Xianyu, and she couldn't help being a little crazy immediately.

Da Nier, who had never been out of the town since she was a child, felt that the most outstanding man she had ever seen was Guo Juren in the town, but Zhou Xianyu was originally a dragon and phoenix among men, and his appearance was too confusing for all sentient beings.

Da Nier even felt that the other party was even more handsome and extraordinary than the person walking out of the painting. Seeing that Zhou Xianyu looked at her at this moment, Da Nier hurriedly turned his face away, It was so embarrassing to even look at each other.

But Zhou Xianyu would look at Da Nier, mainly because he was curious about the Black Mountain King that the other party was talking about, and immediately raised his eyebrows frivolously and asked:

"I heard your grandfather mentioned the Black Mountain King for a long time, and now you have also mentioned the Black Mountain King. Who is this sacred person? You'er and I haven't heard the slightest bit yet. Why don't you tell us about it, Da Nier As for the safety of the two of us, you don't have to worry about the safety of the two of us. Don't talk about the Black Mountain King. I have never heard of the existence of such a ghost. Even if he is really evil, I just want to catch him. See Look at what this so-called ghost looks like."

Seeing that she really couldn't persuade the two benefactors in front of her, Da Nier was just a village girl, she was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, old man Zhao came out of the small thatched shed in the yard where he used to live and cook, which was barely a kitchen. He held this big gray bamboo rat in his hand, which was as big as a piglet, and patted Da Nier's face. shoulder, sighed and said:

"Don't try to persuade me. I've told my two benefactors everything I need to say, but these two don't believe in evil. Don't go out at night. Let's turn off the lights early. If you want to stay overnight, the King of Montenegro may not If you know it, you won’t go down the mountain to arrest people. Now that the sun is setting, the next town is several miles away. It’s safer to stay. It’s easier to drive at night to avoid the Black Mountain King. Bandits, that's more ominous than good."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianyu frowned, and then said in a dignified voice:

"I just heard from you, old man, that Zhuluo Town is only twenty miles away from Changping, the capital. Although your town is not near the official road opened by the imperial court, and its location is a bit remote, it is not far from the foot of the emperor. It’s a hundred miles away, why is there a lot of evil spirits and monsters, and banditry is rampant, what are the parents and officials here with the imperial salary, what do they do for food, they are simply a bunch of waste.”

As a child of the royal family, Zhou Xianyu has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. When he never went out to fight against the enemy, he would hand over some bandits.

However, since the banditry in Zhuluo Town is so serious that the people dare not go out at night, there is no local official to report to the court and send troops to suppress the bandits. In Zhou Xianyu's view, this is an unforgivable fault.

After all, this has already involved some of the official affairs within Zhou Xianyu's direct jurisdiction. If it is said that this place is incapable and can't fight against the bandits, he can be forgiven, but if he can't beat the people who don't know how to report, this kind of negligence That's what he can't forgive.

Immediately Zhou Xianyu had already made up his mind, when his injury healed and it was unnecessary to conceal his identity, he had to kick the gate of this Zhuluo Town, the local government office, and take all the officials inside. Do it, and uphold justice for the people on this side who have suffered for a long time.

Zhou Xianyu would be so angry because his position as a prince is here, but Mr. Zhao and his granddaughter don't know his true identity. Seeing this handsome benefactor, they dared to open their mouths. Scolding the official is a waste.

Immediately, Da Nier's hands and feet became cold from fright, and the old man Zhao hurried to close the fence gate, for fear that such rebellious words would be heard by outsiders.

As for the old man Zhao, once he closed the door, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said:
"My benefactor, you have to be careful what you say. The King of Montenegro can't offend, but our official lord, Lord Yan Luo, can't offend either. If you let him know what you scolded him, I must take you to the Yamen and beat you to death."

Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was a little confused at this meeting. First, there was a Black Mountain King, and she hadn't figured out who it was. Now, there was another Yan Luoye. This small Zhuluo Town, there is still It's so strange that I can't finish listening to it.

Immediately signaled Zhou Xianyu not to get angry, the words of the province did not reveal his identity, and then Xiao Jinxuan smiled, and asked soothingly:
"Daddy, we are foreigners, and you really don't understand the rules here. The Lord Yan Luo you are talking about probably refers to the local parental officer in Zhuluo Town. It seems that you must have been bullied by each other, otherwise And I won’t give it such a nickname to others.”

Old man Zhao, who had already ordered Da Nier to cook and led Xiao Jinxuan and the two into the low and dark mud room, could not help but have a bitter and sad expression on his face when he heard this.

"Miss You'er, what you said really touched the hearts of us poor people. Our parents' official surname is Yan, and their name is Yan Sibao. To be honest, they are really not a thing. Not only did they raise three levels of official taxes to exploit us , bully men and women, and do all sorts of evil, the Black Mountain King kidnapped people to go up the mountain, but if you offend this Yan Luo Lord, it will kill you immediately."

Zhou Xianyu was straightforward, but Xiao Jinxuan signaled him to be calm and calm, not allowing him to mess up and scare the simple old man in front of him.

Then Xiao Jinxuan thought for a while, and brought the topic to the King of Montenegro. After all, Yan Sibao was an official of local tyranny. With her and Zhou Xianyu's identities, it would take him an instant to clean him up, but this sneakiness is not It's the same, if she doesn't figure it out, she will always feel uneasy.

"Father Zhao, we already know about Lord Yan Luo, but what kind of existence is this Black Mountain King? You haven't told us all about his origins yet. Tell us one or two things. An accident really happened, and the two of us don't know." As for panicking, no."

Hearing this, old man Zhao nodded hurriedly, then thought about it, and then spoke slowly.

It turns out that the Black Mountain King did not exist around Zhuluo Town all the time, but the goblin who robbed and ate people suddenly appeared more than ten years ago.

To the east of the bamboo snail forest is the virgin forest that Xiao Jinxuan and others passed through, while to the west is an independent high mountain. Because the soil on this mountain is naturally black, this mountain has been called the Montenegro.

And because this evil monster that suddenly appeared is often active in the Montenegro area, and the common people don't know what it is, so it is called the King of Montenegro.

According to the old man Zhao, the Black Mountain King went down the mountain every time at night. Looking at it by the moonlight, the opponent's body could stretch for more than ten meters.

Every time it enters a village, it will inevitably set off a gust of evil wind, and if it breaks into someone's house, young and strong men will be captured, but it is always old, weak, sick and disabled, and it will not move a little bit for women, children and children.As long as you hide in the house and don't come out, the Black Mountain King will leave on his own after he kidnaps someone.

But if this family dares to leave the house and resist, then the Black Mountain King will wash the whole family with blood, and even the chickens and dogs will not be left alive. Therefore, although this thing has been making trouble for more than ten years, it is really true to see its true self. People are either dead or have been captured, and the Black Mountain King is still like a mystery, tormenting the people near Zhuluo Town, panicking and restless.

Therefore, the common people guessed that the Black Mountain King must be an evil monster with a horse-headed worm body and an iron armor. After thousands of years, this thing has practiced Taoism. The purpose of arresting those young and strong boys is to cultivate the sun. , become a fairy after attaining Taoism.
