The world of Taoism

Chapter 124

Wang Mazi is a local land rogue who runs rampant in the village and hates gods and ghosts.

It's a drought, farmers are losing their crops, and most are tightening their belts.

Wang Mazi is usually idle and has no savings, so he has to go hungry in the face of this kind of disaster.

It's the so-called poor and evil tricks.

Wang Mazi simply recruited a few local scoundrels who got along well together, and together they turned into bandits.

During the day, he is a land rogue, and at night, he is a bandit blocking roads and robbing wealth.

Wang Ermazi also saved a lot of floating money by virtue of his activities of robbing houses.

However, Wang Ermazi didn't kill people at first.

After all, they are just ordinary rogues, coupled with superstition, they usually only steal money, and even leave a little travel expenses.

Later, things gradually deteriorated, and a group of people really became robbers, robbing wealth and sex, killing people and throwing corpses.

However, businessmen and passers-by are not fools, knowing that there is danger here, of course they will not go this way.

With fewer passers-by, life for Wang Mazi and others is difficult, and they can only live on their previous laurels.

The group had an argument.

Some people think that if they save enough money, they can wash their hands in the gold basin and live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Some people think that they should pay a few more votes before leaving. After all, such a small amount of money can't save time.

The hooligans are more or less involved in gambling, and this little wealth is not enough for them to lose for a month.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to resign themselves to fate.

Finish the last vote.

No matter how much the income is, the group will be disbanded after finishing the last vote.

After everyone discussed it, a passerby came after a while.

There were three passers-by, a short and thin old man sandwiched between two strong men.

The old man in the middle is full of regalia, wearing brand new clothes, and carrying a big package on his back.

The moonlight was bright, and everyone saw a trace of golden light in the package through the moonlight.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes turned green.

This is a gold ingot!
A whole package may add up to several hundred taels.

One tael of gold can be exchanged for more than a dozen taels of silver, which means that this package has at least a few thousand taels of silver.

After completing this vote, you will basically have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

The crowd was like greedy wolves, rushing forward, and surrounded the three of them.

The two big men next to the old man are tall and strong, with powerful Kong Wu, they are two heads taller than the average person.

Wang Mazi and others had scruples in their hearts, they only asked for money, they didn't kill their lives, and they didn't dare to conflict with these two big men.

When the old man saw ten people surrounding them, he felt helpless and looked at the big men on both sides.

The two big men didn't show any expression.

Even in the face of such danger, the big man seemed fearless, seeing the old man's eyes, the big man nodded.

The old man said helplessly: "The package can be given to you, but you will bear the consequences yourself."

Wang Mazi laughed immediately, and said: To walk in the rivers and lakes is to put your head on the waistband of your trousers, and you are afraid of the consequences.

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the old man's package directly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two big men took the old man away.

This big man put a lot of pressure on Wang Ermazi. After all, he was much taller than them. Once they fought, they might suffer.

Everyone excitedly opened the package.

There are seven or eight gold ingots in the package, under the moonlight, exuding a bewitching light, besides the gold ingots, there are...

"Guess what they saw?" The old shopkeeper made a fool of himself.

Everyone's interest was attracted by the old shopkeeper, even the old man who was alone was listening attentively.

Only Zhuhan Festival is still buried in eating.

It seems that this guy is really hungry, otherwise he would not have the idea of ​​selling knives.

Zhou Xuan also listened with interest.

"I guess they robbed the big man, so they made them pay the price." The middle-aged man said.

"No!" The old shopkeeper shook his head.

"It's a knife. In the face of such great wealth, I'm afraid anyone will have their own ideas, so they have internal strife?"

There are so many gold ingots, not to mention these robbers, middle-aged men are coveted, how can the robbers not be tempted.

"No!" The old shopkeeper revealed the answer, "It's a reminder..."

Wang Mazi opened the package, and besides the gold ingot, there was also a charm inside.

There is a line written on it: On a certain day of a certain year, a certain guest died in a foreign country, and his head fell to the ground. The Yin soldiers and Yin will quickly detain him and return him to his original place.

The moment Wang Mazi and others opened the package, the date on it changed to today, and the names were automatically replaced with the real names of Wang Mazi and others.

The moment they saw the life-threatening talisman, the gold ingot turned into flying ash, and the heads of these murderous robbers fell to the ground.

It turned out that the old man was a ghost, and the two men next to him were Yin soldiers and Yin generals who detained ghosts.

Because Wang Mazi and others snatched the reminder, so the cause and effect should be on them.

Wang Mazi and others fell to the ground as if they were human heads, but since they couldn't find the head, they ran around without the head.

As long as you catch a passerby, you will go up and drag them to find their heads.

If pedestrians don't take out their heads, they will take off the pedestrian's head, put it on their own head, and throw it away when they find it doesn't fit.

So the legend of the headless ghost has been circulating around here.

"Do you believe it?" the old shopkeeper asked.

"Of course I don't believe in headless ghosts. How can there be so many strange powers and gods? It's just a legend." The middle-aged man shook his head and laughed.

The middle-aged man travels all over the world, and he hears strange legends, but which ones have come true?
It's just that ordinary people don't understand it.

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said nothing.

The story of the old shopkeeper did not arouse everyone's response

Who can walk in the middle of the night, which one is not a bold person with high art skills.

How can I be afraid of this little story.

At this time, the old man sitting alone at another table raised his head.

This person's hair was disheveled, his face was as black as charcoal, and the wrinkles on his face were like dry bark.

"I've heard this story too. When I was young, I heard from my family that you can't walk around the mountain not far away, because there are headless ghosts on it." The old man has a sturdy temperament and his voice is full of anger.

"Your Excellency is alone, why not come over for a drink?" Zhou Xuan laughed.

The old man didn't refuse, and came over to sit down with food and wine.

The Han Festival on the one hand filled his stomach, he took a deep look at the old man, raised his glass, and said, "I toast to your Excellency."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hanjie drank the wine in one gulp.

The old man drank the wine boldly.

"Which place is your Excellency a soldier?" Zhu Hanjie's eyes were vicious, and he could see the identity of the old man at a glance.

"Beijiang." The old man smiled.

"

The old man looks old, but his actual age is only in his 50s.

"The general saw that I was old, and gave me the permission to disarm and return to the fields." The old man seemed to be a little emotional, "I feel timid because of the proximity to my hometown, and my hometown has changed so much."

The old man didn't talk much, he just kept his head down and sipped his wine.

The atmosphere was a little silent. At this time, Zhu Hanjie suddenly raised his head, looked around, and said with a smile: "I also have a story here..."
