I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

There are dozens of people in the caravan, and they are here to purchase Mianyan.

When we arrived outside Yingxian County, just like Song Yushan, we were astonished by this strange way of entering the city.

"If you can't win the bet, can't you enter the city?" Someone from the chamber of commerce asked the local people in surprise.

Local people are not surprised:

"If you keep failing to win, then Grandpa Gambling Fairy is reminding you that you have bad luck today, so it's best not to go out!

Unlucky, I only lost one copper plate when I lost a hand at the city gate.

Once you enter the city, the losses will be huge! "

The people in the caravan had no choice but to queue up to gamble.

There were dozens of people, some won the first round, and some lost several rounds in a row and were unable to enter the city.

In the end, I had no choice but to win, go first into the city, and the people behind would gamble over and over again, and then enter again after winning.

Song Yushan hid on the side and watched them gamble, not noticing anything unusual.

I followed them into the city, saw that they finally won the bet, and found an inn to stay at.

A group of people were locked in the room talking.

“It’s ridiculous to win the county!”

"I always feel that the people in this place are a little abnormal! How can anyone gamble like this?"

"The winning county magistrate must have been selected by the reading examiner. How could the county be allowed to become like this!"

"That's it? Or is it Ying County, which is rumored to make people not want to leave when they come?"

"I always feel that there is something strange here. Maybe there is something weird. Let's quickly collect some Mianyan jade and leave!"

"Yeah!"

……

When they went to the jade shop to look at it, they discovered that the current Mianyan jade was now called Ying jade.

It is still a specialty of Ying County, and it is said that wearing this jade will improve your luck. People in Ying County have the custom of wearing Ying jade.

There are quite a few shops selling this on the street.

But like other stores, you have to bet when buying something!

The people from the caravan took turns gambling on jade.

If you win, you can get a piece of good jade for free, but if you lose, you will lose a lot of gold and silver. Sometimes you are ecstatic, sometimes you sigh with regret, but in general you lose more than you win.

The emotional ups and downs are so great that they are miserable.

Song Yushan watched with cold eyes for a few days and saw that people from the caravan participated in hundreds of gambling games in the city.

But they don't seem to be addicted to gambling like the people who came to Ying County in the past.

Because every night when they got together and counted the goods, they were full of complaints.

"If this continues, when will we be able to buy all the goods we want?"

"When I win a bet, I'm very happy, but when I lose, I'm heartbroken. After all, it's better to clearly mark the price and buy it honestly!"

"No wonder Mianyan jade, oh no, Ying jade has gradually been lost outside! If you buy this way, if you are not lucky, you will lose money!"

……

About more than a month later, the caravan spent all its budget. Although they did not buy as much Ying jade as expected, they also left Ying County.

Song Yushan saw them go away with his own eyes and never came back.

On the road, he didn't fall into a crazy state because he hadn't gambled for a long time.

It seemed like they really weren't affected.

But before them, a few months ago, there was a group of outsiders who were addicted to gambling. After leaving Ying County, they returned to Ying County.

Now he is no different from a local in Ying County.

Why are there such big differences between these two groups of people?

Song Yushan looked at the talisman in his hand.

When Mi Long was released again, he had a confused look on his face: "Why, you finally thought about it and let me go?" "Did you poison the people?" Song Yushan asked.

"No need to ask, I won't tell!" Mi Long was very fearless.

“You can’t control such a large-scale poison.

And you also control the ghosts and extract their life span.

So it’s not poison, it’s poison! "

Song Yushan said: "I heard that in the southwest mountainous area of ​​Liangzhou, some mortals know the art of voodoo and can control people with voodoo insects..."

Milong's expression remained unchanged: "I won't answer."

Song Yushan just deceived him.

These days, she thought about what could allow a mortal to control so many people. The only thing that seemed possible was a voodoo technique that mortals could master.

Plus the caravan left unharmed, it was even more like that.

However, Song Yushan had only seen this southwestern Gu technique in Liangzhou in some travel notes, and the cultivation world only regarded it as an unpopular technique, not even comparable to the magic technique, and there were not many records.

Therefore, it is not certain to what extent it can be achieved.

Now that he was thinking about this, Song Yushan sneaked into the county government office to see if there was any historical information related to voodoo.

Although the name of the county seat of Ying County has been changed, it still has a long history and the county government has gone through thousands of years. However, in the office room where documents are kept, there are only classics that are more than two hundred years old.

And there is no book about voodoo.

However, Song Yushan still found clues.

These are a few brief records.

About two hundred years ago, there was a fire in the county government office. Almost all the documents were burned, but the arsonist could not be found.

Since then, it has been stolen many times, but the thief has not been found. However, there are only some rural legends and folk magic, so no efforts are made to catch the thief.

There is no information related to Gu magic even locally.

Song Yushan always felt that there was something fishy in this.

She asked Uncle Jin to go find Xiong Changsheng to inquire about voodoo, because she had been in the city for such a long time and had never seen anyone who knew how to voodoo.

All knowledge of this Gu technique comes from travel notes and legends whose authenticity cannot be tested.

If Xiong Changsheng couldn't find out about this matter here, Song Yushan would really have no choice but to seek help from the local monks in Liangzhou, or wait for Bian Yigua to come and tell the story.

Uncle Jin had become good friends with Xiong Changsheng, and he no longer had as many worries as before. He went directly to his cave to ask him.

"Gu magic!" Xiong Changsheng showed a look of reminiscence: "When I first became wise, I saw some villages in the mountains that practiced Gu magic, but later, it became rare... Few people mention this now. ."

"How could it be? Isn't Gu magic very popular in the southwestern mountainous area of ​​Liangzhou?" Jin Da asked.

"In short, Ying County has been basically invisible for nearly two hundred years." Xiong Changsheng said: "Even the original villages are so rotten that the ruins can no longer be found."

Another two hundred years.

Song Yushan felt that the problem might be caused by this poison.

She knows nothing about this thing!

It seems I can’t do it without finding someone.

She found a secret place in Ying County, hid the magic talisman that held the dragon inside, and protected it with a formation.

Leaving Uncle Jin to take care of her in Ying County, she went to Yunmeng County, where Ying County belongs.

The Yunmeng Sect on Yunmeng Mountain near the county town is the largest cultivator force here.

Song Yushan arrived by the clouds and landed outside the gate of Yunmeng Zong Mountain.

The disciple guarding the door widened his eyes as he watched her descend from the cloud.

He has seen those who control swords and magical weapons, but he has never seen those who control clouds.

After landing, the cloud just disappeared, unlike a flying magic weapon.
