Chapter 722 The key to solving the mystery
"It's possible that he died a long time ago." Li Qingxian picked up a cup of tea and drank it, his eyes lowered.
The dirty beggar smiled and said: "I don't understand what you are saying. As long as you can solve the mystery, how can you let me die? I think you have drunk too much tea and are drunk." "Then, what do you think is the key to solving the mystery
? What is it? As far as I know, you must have been to Shangshan District."
The dirty beggar raised his head, looked at the roof, with a nostalgic look on his face, and said slowly: "Yes, of course you have been to Shangshan District. At that time, you entered Shangshan District. There was no need for bamboo hats in the mountainous areas. At that time, everyone could enter the upper mountainous areas. At that time, there were men and women, boys and girls in the lower mountainous areas. At that time, the land and houses in the town belonged to everyone... Oh, I am old and confused. Oh, I forgot the point."
The dirty beggar looked away at the roof and said: "I don't know how to solve the mystery specifically, but I know that the key to solving the mystery must be the ginseng fruit, the ginseng fruit tree, and the ancient well."
"Ancient well?"
The dirty beggar smiled coldly and said: "This nonsense about immortality and the other side of the world is all made up. I have seen it with my own eyes. After the townspeople died, they turned into light and threw themselves into the ancient well. The ginseng fruit tree immediately It blooms, and after blooming, it slowly bears fruit. I have traveled every inch of the town, and only the ginseng fruit tree and the ancient well are the most strange. If it can really solve the mystery, it must be the ginseng fruit tree. This is why the mayor and the others control the ginseng fruit tree and strictly control the ginseng fruit. "
I heard that ginseng fruit can weaken the evil spirit?"
"Yes and no. Eating ginseng fruit within three days of being evil can dispel the evil spirit. But after three days, the body will become evil. Eating ginseng fruit will also It has no effect. However, ginseng fruit can indeed enhance a person's cultivation. The more he eats, the higher his cultivation level. There has been a legend here that people who walked out of Nanzhen were particularly powerful because they ate a lot of ginseng fruits, such as Zhang Wen "
Apart from Zhang Wentong, who else walked out of Nanzhen?"
The dirty beggar was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought, and said: "I really don't know. We just heard people who came in later talk about things outside. It was discovered that Zhang Wentong had left with Jiezhen. He had been the mayor of Nanzhen before and had even cheated the mayor of ginseng fruit." "
What?"
The dirty beggar said: "Rumors are just rumors. After Zhang Wentong disappeared, the mayor went crazy, yelling and cursing like crazy, killing hundreds of people before he finally woke up. Think about it, what could happen to make him so angry? Like this? In addition, there were rumors that the two brothers Zhang Wentong and Zhang Wentian had found a way to solve the mystery and would leave soon. At that time, the mayor was very happy, but then he suddenly became angry. The contrast was too great. "
Li Qingxian nodded.
"Before that, the mayor occasionally rewarded us with ginseng fruits and allowed us to use Jide to exchange them. But since that day, the mayor completely blocked the upper mountainous area and no longer rewarded us with ginseng fruits. If Jide wanted to exchange ginseng fruits, he needed his warrant. People from the lower mountain area , and could no longer get ginseng fruits. In short, various signs indicate that the ginseng fruits in the hands of the mayor suddenly decreased a lot. Therefore, some people speculated that Zhang Wentong deceived the mayor, saying that as long as he gave enough ginseng fruits, he could lead the town The mayor left together, and then the mayor believed it, but Zhang Wentong and the noble man didn't care about the mayor at all and ran away." "So
you think ginseng fruit is the key to solving the mystery?"
"Yes. But..." Zang The beggar looked at Li Qingxian.
"But what?"
"However, there are also rumors that you can only eat one ginseng fruit. Eating too much will damage your moral character. The more you eat, the more damage you will do, and you will eventually have no descendants." "Oh? How could this happen?
"
" I don’t know either. Anyway, the mayor must have no descendants, hahahaha..." The dirty beggar leaned back and forth.
"What other rumors are there?" Li Qingxian asked.
The dirty beggar slowly leaned forward, stared at Li Qingxian, and said slowly: "Legend has it that only two kinds of noble people can walk out of the town, one is a great evil person, and the other is a great good person."
Li Qingxian smiled and said: "That's it. , I am neither a great evil person nor a great good person. It seems that I am going to find a great evil person." "Why do
n't you find a great evil person?" "I am not stupid. Can the great evil person take me out of Guizhen? The big bad guy will only take himself out of Guizhen."
"Then what if you meet the big bad guy?" asked the dirty beggar.
Li Qingxian was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door. Don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles." The
dirty beggar smiled and said: "Sir, you really know how to joke. There are evil people here, but you still have a front door? And a home? ? Even if there is, sooner or later it will be gone."
Li Qingxian drank tea quietly.
The two chatted for a while, and the dirty beggar kept telling the story about Guizhen.
"Legend has it that the builders of the town worked together..."
"Later, things slowly changed..." "
Then later, I don't know when, the Gui Town turned into a Fu Town..." "
I'm lucky. , I ate one ginseng fruit very early, and later I gave away the second and third ginseng fruit. There were many, many, but I gave them to others. Because I knew that I could only eat one ginseng fruit. Eating too many ginseng fruits was not good. If you eat too much, you will lose your descendants..."
"General Tomb is a man of integrity. When we went up to the mountain for the banquet, he said that the child had just been born before entering Gui Town, and he couldn't eat the ginseng fruit because of its appearance..." "Tsk, tsk,
Xue The family is so powerful, they all have their people in Guidi..." "
Do you know why Xu Changren gritted his teeth every time he mentioned the mayor and the Xue family? His old mother and daughter came in with him, and the daughter was sent directly to the mountain area He snatched it away. Later, when he encountered the first mist, his mother died. When he came out of the mist, he felt sick to his stomach when he heard about the Xue family. He suspected that his mother was killed by the Xue family. Not long after, his daughter also died. In Shangshan District. A four-year-old child..."
"Why does this strange town exist? If God really has eyes, why does he allow this strange town to exist..." The
two chatted for a long time, and the dirty beggar wiped Tears left.
Li Qingxian sat quietly, and after a long time, he silently studied the overall situation of the four guilds, and learned the tricks of qi.
While he was studying, Han Anbo hurriedly walked in and reported: "Sir, the King of Chu has taken action."
"Oh?"
"Two of King Chu's guards served as officials in the yamen in Xiashan District. One was Captain Fu and the other was an inspector. Captain Fu arrested two members of the night guard because they were chatting about why there was no woman in Xiashan District. , even the women who followed the night guard before were gone, and the ground was full of men. After asking around, I found out that the women were all in the mountains, and I complained a little by the way. They were framed and said that they didn't shout, "Fu is a panacea, and Fu can prolong life." ', deceiving the public with evil words."
"There was also a night guard who was wandering around the new market and found that the people who were farming didn't have enough to eat. After asking, he found out that the land in the town was managed by the town government, and all the farmers were considered The hired workers were given a small share, but they were deducted by the Yamen people and could not survive. The night guard was also a reckless man and asked, since the life was not comfortable anyway, why not kill the dog officer? The man replied, murder is illegal. . Then Ye Wei said, people who are going to die are not looking for revenge, and there is no point in being afraid of this and that. Then, he was caught." "Brother Han, what do you think I will do if I don't have enough to eat?
