Twilight Boundary: Chapter 328 Cao Xintang Little Boss
Chapter 328 The Little Boss of Cao Xintang
Invisible changes have appeared in every corner of Mingzhou, just like five big sores, which breed evil and create evil, bad luck for people.
There are many people in Mingzhou Prefecture, and among them there are naturally some who know how to watch Qi and perform hexagrams. They are vaguely aware of this change, but they are all a little worried.
Although this Mingzhou is not a treasure place, it has always been peaceful and free of troubles. Now, in just three to five days, so many evil places suddenly appeared, casting a shadow over the entire Mingzhou. .
Logically speaking, this matter involves everyone in Mingzhou, so they should go and take a look.
But the people in these sects are not fools. Although they are worried, they don't understand: "This evil spirit is coming so fast and strong, something big must happen, and it is not an ordinary evil spirit causing trouble."
"But if that's the case, why is there no movement in Meihua Alley? No one from the government office is paying attention?"
…”
The top is not anxious but the bottom is anxious, which always makes people feel that something is not right. Some people even kindly sent a letter to the other side to remind them, but there was still no response from these two places, and the evil atmosphere became stronger.
Smart people immediately understood it. Even though they felt that those places had an increasing impact on the surroundings, they did not dare to go and find out. Those with lower moral standards and less knowledge did not know. What happened, I just felt more and more uneasy.
Hu Ma's bluestone village is impartial and right in the middle of the five evil directions.
But there is also a vague uneasiness in various places, but there is no movement, but now there is also a team of people from Caoxintang, surrounded by a sedan, heading towards Laoyin Mountain.
“These two poor people didn’t even live to be eighty…”
After the age of 100, for every additional year the old man lives, the medicine will become more magical and the medicinal properties will be better.
But now, he was sitting helplessly on the chair. He raised his eyes and glanced at his great-grandson's wife. He wanted to say something, but he was unable to speak. He raised his head hard and looked outside the yard. He also saw the villagers gathered, all pointing. There was a lot of pointing and discussion:
The person leading the way was none other than the Five Ghosts shopkeeper of Cao Xintang. This time he went into the mountain to find a hundred-year-old pillow to use as a medicine introduction.
The so-called centenarian pillow is the soil under the bedside of a centenarian. Pinch a small amount and mix it into the decoction. It has the effect of prolonging life. However, there are not many centenarians, only in Yuqian Village near Laoyin Mountain. There is one.
“Grandpa, please let your children and grandchildren go…”
But when the people from Caoxintang entered the mountain and asked the porters to choose the etiquette and entered the village, they didn't expect that in front of the old man's yard, there was a circle of people, huddled together, pointing. From a distance, I heard a woman's voice crying inside:
"Now that all your sons and grandsons are dead, you can no longer think about your grandsons. Leave your children with such a life..."
The old man is always smiling and energetic. Even though he is over a hundred years old, he still loves to joke with people and tell stories to children.
Such a blessed person, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, is more valuable than Mr. Tai Sui. How can you not care about it?
The people in Cao Xintang knew how important this old man was, and they would go to the mountain to visit him every year. They knew that the old man had a strong body and would be fine if he lived to be 108 years old.
Not only did he live over a hundred years old, but he also lived to be a hundred and seven years old.
Only the horse that Brother Mazi brought back from Anzhou was different. It should eat and drink, but occasionally looked up into the air, its big eyes seemed to be full of expectation.
Now that Hu Ma has gone out, Zhou Da and other people in Zhuangzi don't know what happened, but they always feel panic in their hearts, as if something bad has happened.
"I know you don't want to die, but you can't steal the lifespan of your children and grandchildren. Your son, my father-in-law, only lived in his seventies and died. Your grandson was just over sixty years old and was licked by a blind bear. …”
…”
Even the animals in the village seemed to have been affected by something. They refused to eat grass honestly, snoring and kicking for a while.
The old man is already one hundred and seven years old now. In a few months, he will live to be one hundred and eight years old, which is great. It is the tea birthday and the perfect age.
Looking towards the yard, I saw the old man sitting in the yard, holding a cane in his hand, silent. In front of him, there was a woman kneeling in mourning clothes, holding a woman in her arms. Holding a child of twelve or thirteen years old.
This old man lived for more than 108 years, so the medicine became a miracle medicine, and a handful was worth a thousand pieces of gold.
“Borrowing longevity…”
"When this man gets old, he becomes a spirit and borrows his life from his children and grandchildren. His children and grandchildren die early, but he dies later."
“There were people in our village who lived for a long time in the past. From time to time, young people fell down from the mountains, got plague, and couldn’t feed themselves..."
“It’s all thanks to these old monsters that I have borrowed my life...”
“Then this Yao family member must be the one who has borrowed the most life. He is the oldest, and all the children and grandchildren in the family have died early. It seems that he has borrowed all the money, and now he wants to borrow money from his grandson..."
…”
After all, the old man was speechless. He just used his crutches hard, slowly propped up his body, turned around and walked into the house. It was noon now, and there was a bright snow outside, but the small main room, But it seemed to be dark and I couldn't see clearly inside.
Seeing such a scene, everyone in Caoxintang who had just rushed over was also shocked and hurriedly asked the surrounding villagers. Only then did I learn that this old man’s last son died thirty years ago, and his two grandsons died ten years ago.
Just the day before yesterday, his last remaining grandson, the husband of the crying woman, suddenly fell ill and died, and her children were also infected.
People in the village said that the old man was borrowing life from his children and grandchildren. After borrowing all the children and grandchildren, it was the turn of his great-grandson, so she was also afraid.
Now that the funeral has not been completed, I came to cry and beg the old man.
“How can such a thing be possible…”
The shopkeepers of Five Ghosts frowned when they heard this. They were quite anxious. How could they not understand the nonsense of such a thing?
It can only be said that in the past, there were no cases of old people stealing their lives, but most of them were in Gaotang compound and in families with countless children and grandchildren. How could this old man, a peasant, have such ability?
Furthermore, not to mention the evil method of extending life span, this old man has never even touched a mouthful of blood food, let alone any method to extend his life. Otherwise, his life span will be impure. How could Cao Xintang use him? Use the mud under the bed as a concoction to prepare life-extending medicine?
But even though he was anxious, he couldn't say anything.
The door has its own rules. They can get the medicine, but they cannot interfere with the old man's fate. Whether they are trying to extend the life of the old man or using their skills to treat him, the medicine will be impure.
Just as he was looking at his young lady anxiously, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the hall.
Everyone was shocked, but it was the great-grandson's daughter-in-law who entered the main room when the old man said nothing. She wanted to follow him in and say a few words of advice, but when she saw him, she was so frightened that she flew out of her mind.
The people in Caotangxin didn't care, they hurriedly pushed their way through everyone, and when they got to the main room, their hearts dropped at first glance.
The old man threw his crutches aside and was lying in front of the bed, already lifeless.
The old man who was only three months away from living to be one hundred and eight years old died so silently.
The old fairy who could use the dirt under the bed to make medicine did not die in the bed in the end.
“It’s just nonsense.”
When Leng Buding saw the old man dead, Shopkeeper Five Ghosts could not describe the anger in his heart, and was extremely heartbroken.
Seeing that the old man who would have lived a full life in a few months died, it meant that most of Cao Xintang's attention and expectations for so many years were wasted, and he was heartbroken that such an old man with perfect blessings was finally angry to death. Understand.
He couldn't help but turned to his great-grandson's daughter-in-law, who was standing aside in shock, holding her child in her arms and looking surprised, and shouted: "Where did you hear those monstrous words about longevity? It's purely to harbor evil intentions and harm your family."
“This great-grandfather of your family has the blessing of longevity due to his good deeds in his previous life and his kindness to others in this life. He is only a few days short of being able to live past the age of 108.”
"At this age, he is an old god. Enemies will kowtow when they see him, and the gods in the hall will secretly bless him!"
“As long as he is here, your family will be able to withstand the shadow of other families for five generations. Your children and grandchildren will be blessed, free from illness and disaster, and evil spirits will not dare to disturb you. It is better than any protection.”
“Others couldn’t even invite such an old immortal, but you actually scolded him to death.”
…”
The woman didn't expect to see Shopkeeper Five Ghosts. She had also seen Shopkeeper Five Ghosts come into the mountain before, and she knew he was a nobleman from the city. The people in the village were already in awe of the people in the city, but now they were angry and angry when they saw him. , also vaguely felt as if he had done something wrong, and hurriedly cried:
“It’s none of my business, it’s none of my business, and I don’t know. If everyone else says so, how can it be false?”
…”
The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts almost laughed angrily and said, "Who, who said that?"
The mother-in-law was frightened by his angry look and muttered: "Later, Langzhong, who brought people to fill the pond, said it. How can it be false?"
"ah?"
Shopkeeper Five Ghosts was startled and immediately walked towards the place she said. He walked at first, then couldn't help but start running. Soon he came to the north of the village, where he met Lao Yinshan, and his heart suddenly dropped. Half of it.
There is a wild pond here. Although it is not running water, fish and turtles have always been growing. Now, looking at it, large rocks have been pushed into the pond, and people are filling it with soil!
“Ah this…”
The shopkeeper of Five Ghosts hurriedly took out a small bunch of herbs and lit them. He smoked his eyes and looked forward, his face suddenly turned ashen.
He saw that in the pond that had been filled with stones, an old turtle the size of a millstone appeared vaguely, and next to him were old people wearing shrouds one after another, standing dully by the pond, heading in the direction of the village. , slowly, kowtowing one by one.
The billowing Yin Qi swayed over the village, blowing up gusts of Yin wind.
