Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 115: Strange Events in Qianli Town
Wencai felt pain and looked at Uncle Jiu with grievance, why is it always me who gets hurt?
Qiu Sheng was originally a little annoyed that Wencai stole his lines, but now seeing Wencai being beaten, he stopped talking and just laughed on the side, and then Uncle Jiu took full advantage of him.
Jiangfu Temple, Monk Xuanming!
"Uncle Master, I'll go check it out in the next two days. It's so close to the charity cemetery. If there are any bad intentions, we can be on guard. What's more, it's too unruly to extend our reach into Renjia Town."
Don't underestimate this matter. Renjia Town has been the location of Uncle Jiu's Taoist temple for nearly ten years. It is obvious which cultivator dares to establish a foothold here. Not to mention Renjia Town, even within a hundred miles, everyone asks Uncle Jiu to do things, and there are very few other cultivators who intervene. One reason is that they are concerned about the reputation of Maoshan, and the other is that there are established rules.
Generally speaking, if you want to gain a foothold in someone else's Taoist temple, you can either destroy the place and if you are good enough you can stay while the original people leave, or you can pay your respects and get permission from Uncle Jiu, then you can stay. But now, Jiangfu Temple is a bit unruly and opened a branch thirty miles away without making any noise.
If we ignore this, either people will misunderstand that Monk Xuanming was allowed by Uncle Jiu to build a temple here, and if there are any problems in the future, Uncle Jiu will naturally have to bear some responsibility; or people will think that Uncle Jiu can be bullied, and who knows how many people will come here in the future. Therefore, when problems arise, we must solve them from the source.
Moreover, this monk Xuanming helps everyone, which is somewhat unscrupulous. Keeping him around is like a time bomb, so it is better to deal with him as soon as possible.
After hearing what Jiale said, Uncle Jiu thought about it and nodded .
Even if Jiale didn't go, Uncle Jiu would still go, but if Jiale went first, there would be some buffer space, and he would be able to deal with it better when the time came. As for whether Jiale would be in danger, Uncle Jiu was really not worried. With Jiale's current strength, he was almost invincible in the Qi Refining Realm, and with the help of the summoning technique and Baili Huating in front, who would dare to mess with Jiale?
"Okay, then you go first."
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai performed well this time, and Jia Le was not stingy and rewarded each of them with five dollars, which made the two of them smile immediately. However, blindly urging them will not work, and appropriate rewards should be given.
Renjia Town.
Master Qian passed away suddenly, and the Qian family wore mourning clothes in white, which made the whole Renjia Town sigh. After all, that was Master Qian. It was said that he was so popular with women just two days ago, but he died suddenly?
And it wasn't just Master Qian who died. Many of the men in the Qian's mansion who assisted Master Qian in his atrocities turned gray overnight and turned into old men. Some of them died right after Master Qian, while others didn't live for many days.
Although the Qian family remained tight-lipped about such a strange thing, the people in Renjia Town had their own speculations. They all said that the Qian family had offended someone they shouldn't have offended and suffered a disaster, or that Master Qian had done many evil things and that the wronged ghosts and evil spirits had come to visit.
There are all kinds of rumors, but it is true that the Qian family went bankrupt. The Yihonglou was taken over by the young lady of the Ren family, and the girls were arranged to make other livings. If they did not want to leave, they could become honest officials. The Yihonglou was directly turned into a teahouse.
Finally, people still have to sigh, Renjia Town, after all, belongs to the Ren family. Two days ago, it was rumored that Mr. Qian was going to take action against the Ren family, and Miss Ren would not be able to escape the bad luck. But now, it seems that Mr. Qian suffered first. It's really unpredictable.
Jiale walked on the streets of Renjia Town. It seemed that Renjia Town had become more lively and prosperous because of the fall of the Qian family. If he thought about it carefully, he would understand that the men in Renjia Town used to go out at night, but now they go out during the day, so it is naturally more lively. In the past, they spent their money on the most important things, but now they can buy other things, which naturally led to the development of other industries in Renjia Town.
Thinking about it this way, it's simply a disaster for the Qian family. Renjia Town is full of fat people, and the men in their families don't go out to cheat. The old women are naturally happy, and most of them have smiles on their faces. There are fewer quarrels and more harmony. The men will definitely not be able to adapt at first, but since they all have women, maybe the population of Renjia Town can be increased.
I really didn't know until I thought about it. I was shocked when I thought about it. The "yellow" among these three evils was so serious. Although Xiaohong killed a lot of people this time, it was hard to say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He went to gamble for Shiligou and got rid of yellow for Renjia Town. He was simply a great benefactor to most people. Unfortunately, he could only be an unknown benefactor.
This actually allowed Ren Tingting to get a great bargain. Not only did she get rid of a major threat, but she also gained a lot of fame through Yihonglou. Her future business will be easier, and she will have a direct monopoly. It will be difficult for Renjia Town to have another family that can threaten the Ren family.
After leaving Renjia Town, Jiale rode on his black horse and soon arrived at Qianli Town.
Qianli Town is where Jiangfu Temple is located. This town, Renjia Town and Tanjia Town are like the three corners of a triangle, all not far away from each other. However, when it comes to prosperity, Renjia Town is still the most prosperous. Even Renjia Town, which has experienced the Chen Dao Ren incident, is still better than Tanjia Town and Qianli Town.
Walking into Qianli Town, Jiale felt that the town was a bit deserted. It was broad daylight. Even though the economy, culture, etc. were inferior to Renjia Town, there shouldn't be so few people on the streets, and they shouldn't be in a hurry.
Jiale saw a civilian passing by and quickly grabbed him.
"My friend, what's going on? Why are there so few people on the street, and why are they in such a hurry?"
The person who was being held didn't want to care at first and wanted to break free from Jiale's pull and leave quickly, but after pulling twice, he didn't move at all and couldn't be torn apart at all. Instead, his clothes were torn. Helplessly, he could only look back at Jiale with anger in his eyes.
"You are from another place, so leave here quickly. There have been monsters in the town these past two days, and many women and children have been lost. Not to mention at night, not many people dare to go out even during the day. Many people have already moved to other places. Don't even think about staying here. The inn has closed. While it's still early, find another place to stay."
After saying this, the man felt that Jiale’s grip was not so tight anymore, so he quickly broke free and left.
Losing women and children?
Jiale was confused, but his intuition told him that this matter was closely related to the monk Xuanming from Jiangfu Temple.
I looked at my fellow villager who had already walked far away and forgot to ask for the address of Jiangfu Temple. Forget it, I'll just pull another one and see if there is any other unlucky guy passing by.
"What are you doing?"
A girl was suddenly grabbed and was shocked. Jiale was speechless. There were fewer and fewer people on the street. Otherwise, he would not have grabbed a girl in the street.
"Girl, don't panic. I see your forehead is black, which may be a bad omen. That's why I'm holding you back to help you avoid disaster."
Unexpectedly, after Jiale said this, the girl became even more frightened and burst into tears.
The people on the street saw this scene and took a look. When Jiale was worried that someone would come up to him and drive him out of Qianli Town, the people actually quickened their pace, as if they had seen something terrible, leaving Jiale speechless.
Seeing the girl crying harder and harder, Jiale felt helpless. He just wanted to ask for directions, but why was it so difficult? However, what he said just now was not just an excuse to strike up a conversation, but the truth. This girl was above average in appearance and had a good figure, but her only flaw was a dark spot on her forehead. She would be in trouble today, and her life would be in danger.
Thinking of what the fellow villager had said before, that women and children were being lost in the town, Jiale's heart moved again. Could this girl be related to this matter?
It was really possible. Jia Le had an idea and read her fortune. After reading it, Jia Le immediately felt that this girl should cry.
She lost her mother at birth and her father at a young age , and depended on her grandparents for life. When she was ten years old, her grandparents passed away one after another. Fortunately, the ten-year-old girl was able to support herself and was hardworking, so she did not starve to death. In theory, with her beautiful appearance, she should be considered first-class in the town, and it should not be difficult for her to find a good family.
But she just couldn't be found. Without her, she would be unlucky. This girl's reputation in the town was probably worse than that of the mayor. She was unlucky for her father, mother, and three generations. With such a fate, hiring her into a red building would probably affect the business. Anyone who got close to her would easily get into trouble. Even those little hooligans didn't want to bully her for fear that she would die the next day.
No wonder the girl was crying just now and the people around her turned a blind eye. It turns out she is unwelcome.
There were many people coming out of the street, but most of them were men. There were no children or women to be seen. Only this girl went out on the street alone. I'm afraid she had no choice, after all, there was no one else in her family who could rely on her. However, this girl was not really doomed to fail. She just had a stronger fate. The people around her couldn't bear it, so they died one after another.
She does have a talent for cultivation, but unfortunately she is a little old. She is already eighteen years old, which is considered a grown-up girl. If she starts to cultivate at this age, unless she has a golden finger, otherwise, she can only be a Wencai at best. If I could meet her when she was a few years younger, I might as well introduce her to Uncle Jiu. This child who has been without parents since childhood, needless to say, has better determination and talent than Qiu Sheng and Wencai. She is much more suitable to inherit the mantle than Qiu Sheng and Wencai.
But speaking of it, people with a talent for cultivation have their own destiny. It is definitely a good thing for themselves, but not so good for the people around them. This is true for this girl and Jia Le, and it is similar for Uncle Jiu and Simu.
After waiting for the girl to stop crying, Jiale breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his head and glanced at Jiale quietly. Perhaps she had come to terms with it now and no longer regarded Jiale as a monster who robbed women and stole children. She felt relieved. The girl had been crying loudly just now. Perhaps she was afraid of encountering a monster, or perhaps she had accumulated so many sad things over the years and was afraid that she would not have the chance to cry in the future. So she burst into tears.
However, it is understandable that at this time of year, if someone on the street tells you that your forehead is black and you may have a disaster, no one can stand it.
"Who are you? I have never seen you in Qianli Town."
Looking at Jiale, the girl asked curiously.
Jiale was relieved to see that he was someone who could talk.
"I'm a Taoist priest passing by. I saw something strange in the town, so I wanted to stop you and ask you. Also, I want to ask for directions. Do you know how to get to Jiangfu Temple?"
Jiangfu Temple!
The girl's eyes flashed with confusion, and she looked Jiale up and down a few times, "You don't look like a Taoist priest. As for the things happening in the town, I don't know much either. Anyway, in the past month, children and women have been lost , making people panic. Many people have moved away. As for Jiangfu Temple! Did you find the wrong place? I grew up in Qianli Town, there are no temples here. By the way, my name is Bai Shao."
No temple!
Jiale was also a little surprised when he heard this. Could it be that Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had deceived him and Jiu Shu, and in fact had never asked Mr. Qian, and were just making it up?
After thinking about it, Jiale shook his head again. This situation was basically impossible. It was possible to lie to him, but it was not that Jiale looked down on them. They really didn't have the courage to do such a big thing. Since it was not Qiu Sheng and Wencai's problem, could it be that Master Qian lied? Or was it that Qianli Town was weird?
The monk Xuanming of Jiangfu Temple is so powerful that he can attract Mr. Qian. He must be very famous. How could he be unknown?
Looking at Bai Shao, he thought that she probably wasn't lying. She was just an ordinary person and it was impossible for her to deceive him. Thinking of this, Jia Le became more interested. This matter was becoming more and more interesting.
Jiale was only wearing casual clothes today. He originally wanted to come to Qianli Town to check out the Jiangfu Temple first. If he put on Taoist clothes, he would inevitably alert the enemy.
I didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
"Thank you very much, young lady. But what I said just now was not false. You should be careful."
Bai Shao did not ask any more questions in response to Jia Le's words, but shook her head and left. In Bai Shao's heart, her existence was a disaster, and the black spot on her forehead and the fear of disaster were no longer important.
Jiale looked at Bai Shao's leaving back and figured something out. However, Jiale was very interested in Bai Shao's follow-up and couldn't just leave her alone. After thinking about it, he asked Xiao Qi to follow her secretly. He wanted to see what secrets this Qianli Town held.
As the Qimen Bagua unfolded, Jiale quickly found a place for himself to live. Bai Shao had said that many people in the town had moved away, so naturally there were many empty houses, so it was not difficult to find one.
Jiale has used the Maoshan Six Trigrams to calculate the situation of every person in Qianli Town. He wants to see if everyone knows about the Jiangfu Temple. As long as they have any connection with the Jiangfu Temple, there is no way they can hide it from him after he opens the Qimen Bagua.
There were only about one or two thousand people left in Qianli Town. Jiale was in an unknown space, so his consumption was not that great, so he just looked at them one by one.
"Hey! There really is a problem."
