Holy Bone

Chapter 712 Phoenix Town

Unexpectedly, he could find news about his eldest brother here, so Shen Zhuxiao hurriedly asked what happened next.

The locals shook their heads when they went to the business. They didn't know what happened next. They didn't know whether Mr. Liang and his party went to Fenghuang Town to suppress the living piles.

"Hey, you are also from other places. Could it be that you know Mr. Liang and those people?" These merchants are all veterans, and they are best at observing words and expressions, and they all saw the wrong expression on Shen Zhuxiao's face.

When they heard that Shen Zhuxiao really came to find Mr. Liang and his party, these merchants made a suggestion: "We also heard about these things from the villagers in several nearby villages. We are not the ones who experienced it. You can wait until dawn, Come with us into the village to find the local villagers to ask what happened afterwards."

This is the only clue, and that's all there is for now.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Jin'an and the others went to the nearby villages together with these merchants. When they went down the mountain, they saw a wooden arch bridge at the foot of the mountain. A pier beside the bridge was driven into the river by itself. Form a vortex.

The bridge pier was driven into the riverbed by several thick logs. On the surface of the bridge, there is a water-suppressing evil dragon carved with black lacquer on its scales.

But now the evil dragon is incomplete, a big gap has been dug, and the living pile inside has been taken away.

Seeing Jin An and the others facing the bridge pier, someone mysteriously said: "When Mr. Liang led people to cut open this bridge pier to take the living pile, something happened."

"I heard that when the pier was dug open, a lot of black and smelly water flowed out of the pier. The fish, shrimp and crabs in the river turned white and floated a lot. Mr. Liang collected the urine of several village children and poured it into the pier. It was exposed to the sun for half a day before I dared to go down to the pier to collect the corpse."

Hearing this, Jin An and the old Taoist looked at each other, because there were outsiders by their side, neither of them said much.

The matter of entering the village to find someone went smoothly. When the villagers heard that Jin'an and the others were looking for Mr. Liang and his party, they told them all they knew. Fenghuang Town is not far from here and can be reached by turning over two hills. There are no horses and carts. If you do it on your behalf, it will take about a day to walk halfway up the mountain if you rely on human power alone. Mr. Liang and the others went to Fenghuang Town and there was no news.

Jin An frowned.

Several people discussed it, and instead of going to the pawnbroker, they went directly to Fenghuang Town.

To get to Fenghuang Town, you have to climb two high mountains. The road in the mountains is not good. Fortunately, it is the end of June and the weather has been sunny for half a month. This makes the road in the mountains dry and easy to walk. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can look down from a bird's-eye view of a small town built by mountains and rivers.

"This Fengshui town is a treasure land of geomantic omens, surrounded by mountains and rivers, facing south from the north, with mountains stretching out on both sides, like a phoenix spreading its wings to protect the entire Fengshui town, keeping natural disasters and man-made disasters out, like a paradise far away from secular disputes. "Occupational disease of the old Taoist has committed again, meeting people, meeting Fengshui.

At this time, even Shen Zhuxiao nodded with emotion: "Even without Daoist Chen's words, even I think this Fenghuang Town has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the terrain is flat. The people who grow up here must be longevity stars."

Shen Zhuxiao's words originally intended to flatter the old Taoist priest, but the old Taoist changed his temper this time, instead of being complacent and happy, his face was solemn, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"No, no, no, no, no." The old Taoist said four or five times in a row, and the expression on his face became more serious.

Jin An turned his head and looked: "What's wrong?"

The old Taoist pointed to the only traffic route for Fenghuang Town to enter and leave the mountain at the foot of the mountain: "Little brother, you can see that the mountain behind Fenghuang Town has experienced mudslides and landslides. The top of the mountain is missing a corner, which makes the Feng Shui here unable to hide the wind. The land of the falling phoenix. Moreover, landslides and boulders rolled into the river, causing the river to be blocked and turning the big river into a dozen trickling streams. The huge rock is the head of the phoenix that was chopped down, and those trickling streams are the broken tears of the phoenix. It is said that a phoenix in distress is not as good as a pheasant. This phoenix died unwillingly. This is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. It has become a land of absolute households, a land of absolute darkness, when the Phoenix sheds all tears, it is the time when the people of Fenghuang Town will be wiped out."

"What a sin, and what a vendetta, it is necessary to drag a whole town to be buried with her!"

After hearing the old Taoist's words, Shen Zhuxiao's complexion changed drastically: "Chen Daochang means that my brother's life is in danger!"

Jin An didn't delay, and directly took people to Fenghuang Town.

However, just as they were about to arrive in Fenghuang Town, the sunny weather suddenly became cloudy, with torrential rain and strong winds.

Summer weather is so moody.

When they were just looking for a place to shelter from the rain, they saw a yizhuang on the side of the road. It should be a yizhuang built in the outskirts of Fenghuang Town. A group of people went in to shelter from the rain and wind, but they didn't seem to come at the right time. The yizhuang was quiet and no one was there. .

The wind and rain were howling outside, and the coffins were filled in the Yizhuang, and the atmosphere began to develop strangely.

Next, Jin An and the old Taoist grabbed a large handful of incense sticks and lit a stick of incense for each sealed coffin in the Yizhuang, saying that they were just passing by to avoid the rain and had no intention of disturbing everyone's deep sleep.

Shen Zhuxiao and the accompanying warriors were ordinary people, they were not afraid of the living but the dead, since they entered Yizhuang, they followed Jin An and the old Taoist all the time, and they didn't dare to run around.

Every time Jin An and the old Taoist put a stick of incense on the coffin, they followed suit, praying not to cheat the corpse.

"Little brother, the situation in Fenghuang Town is probably more complicated and serious than what the old Taoist said before!" The old Taoist said seriously after offering incense.

"Yizhuang is the place where corpses are buried. Standing at the gate of Yizhuang, you can just see the chopped-off phoenix head, or the dead Phoenix head has been staring at Yizhuang. This is not a good thing... I hope it is an old man. "

The summer sunshine and rain come and go quickly. When the rain outside stopped, everyone continued to go to Fenghuang Town.

Not far from Yizhuang, they saw the stone archway in Fenghuang Town. Good Fengshui can support people. Fenghuang Town is prosperous and bustling, with many vendors hawking along the street.

"Chen Daochang, did you read it wrong? Didn't you say that Fenghuang was in trouble, tears were broken like beads, Fengshui town's feng shui has changed drastically, and it has become a land of extinct homes? Isn't Fenghuang town now always good?" Shen Zhuxiao asked in a low voice Old Taoist.

The old Taoist frowned, wondering what went wrong?

At this time, Shen Zhuxiao pulled a townsman to inquire about the whereabouts of his brother and Mr. Liang. Fenghuang Town is in the mountains, and outsiders are rarely seen, so Shen Zhuxiao found clues after a little inquiring.
