Chapter 129 Cause and Effect
"This was found in a grave halfway up the mountain. Do you know whose bones these are?"
Bai Wuchen looked at the villagers and asked.
Villagers, you looked at me and I looked at you. They lowered their heads and no one spoke.
At this time, an old man came over accompanied by several young people.
"If I tell you the immortal master, these bones should be those of Zhao Daniu's wife and daughter."
"Exactly what happened, please tell me clearly." Bai Wuchen said expressionlessly.
"No one knows what happened. One night more than a month ago, Zhao Daniu drank too much and hacked his wife and daughter to death. By the time people knocked open the courtyard door, they were all dead. .”
The old man was trembling, still frightened when he recalled what happened that night.
"What? You mean Zhao Daniu is dead too?"
Bai Wuchen said in surprise.
"Yes, some young people saw Zhao Daniu wiping his neck."
"But why is this? The whole family is dead."
"This? No one knows." The old man shook his head.
At this time, Bai Wuchen found a person in the crowd who seemed to have something to say.
"come here."
He said pointing his finger at that person.
This person is none other than Danuo's younger brother, Erniu.
"Me?" Zhao Erniu looked around and saw that others were looking at him. Knowing that the immortal master was calling him, he hurriedly came over cautiously.
"Do you know something? Don't lie. I can tell if you lie. When the time comes..."
The White Water Sword appeared in his hand, emitting a hint of cold light.
Bai Wuchen stuck his sword on the ground, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and looked at Zhao Erniu calmly.
Zhao Erniu was so frightened that he trembled all over and knelt on the ground, "The villain dare not deceive the immortal master."
"Get up and talk."
Bai Wuchen didn't like to kneel down at every turn.
Zhao Erniu quickly got up, lowered his head and bent over, not daring to look at Bai Wuchen.
He stuttered and said: "Hui, if I tell you the immortal master, it's my eldest brother's family who died. My eldest brother has a straight temper and likes to get into trouble. I heard someone said that when we were drinking, someone was making fun of me, saying that my eldest brother only had three daughters. , He won’t even throw tiles when he dies, he is a destitute person, he will go to hell and be tortured after death.”
"What does this have to do with your elder brother killing someone?"
"There are often rumors in the village that my eldest brother has no son. In recent years, my eldest brother has become more and more silent, and sometimes he talks nonsense. I suspect that my eldest brother has been possessed by monsters."
"Extinct? Don't you have two sons? How come your family is extinct?"
"This?" Zhao Erniu glanced at Bai Wuchen strangely and quickly lowered his head.
He whispered: "We have separated."
"What happened to the separation?"
Just pull some useless stuff.
"After we separate, we become two families."
Song Yudao remained silent.
"So heartless?"
"It's always been that way."
this? Bai Wuchen really didn't know the customs and habits here in detail.
Is this what it turns out to be?
Zhao Daniu couldn't bear the pressure of exterminating the family, so he killed the whole family.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like an extremely absurd farce.
Isn’t it good to live well? No matter what happened before or after his death.
It can be regarded as understanding what happened.
Bai Wuchen waved his hand, "You all go back."
Naturally, no one dared to disobey the immortal master, but the sword with cold light was still stuck on the ground.
After all the villagers left, Bai Wuchen took out a few fireball charms and threw them at the pile of bones.
The sight of those tiny bones was so heartbreaking that Bai Wuchen turned his head.
"Do you think Zhao Daniu is really possessed by evil spirits?"
Bai Wuchen asked as he looked at the burning flames.
"The vine demon has never harmed anyone before. I even think that Zhao Daniu has a demon inside him."
"Mortals also have inner demons?"
"Everyone can have inner demons."
Inner demon, Bai Wuchen thought, this is a bit like the mental illness in the previous life.
I have been in a bad mood, depressed, and depressed for a long time, especially since my younger brother has two sons.
Then, Zhao Daniu became insane, but he didn't show it usually.
That night, I drank some wine and listened to some nonsense, which led to tragedy.
Bai Wuchen guessed that he finally woke up, but it was too late.
He can only commit suicide and apologize.
As for why Zhao Erniu said that Zhao Daniu was possessed by evil spirits, on the one hand, there is no such thing as mental illness here. Mental illness is evil.
On the other hand, blaming Zhao Daniu's behavior on evil spirits is to excuse Zhao Daniu and for his own consideration.
Just imagine, if you don't say this, then Zhao Daniu is a murderer. As the murderer's brother, he will not have an easy life in the village.
If they were all blamed on evil spirits, it would be beyond human control, and people would be full of sympathy for Zhao Daniu and Zhao Erniu.
"We need to find all the people who drank with Zhao Daniu that night."
"What to do?" Song Yu said.
"I have a kind of grass called silent grass. Mortals can't speak after eating it for five years."
"I love you very much." Song Yu smiled, not sure whether he was talking about grass or people.
Through Zhao Erniu, those people were quickly found, and two of them had died at the hands of the vine demon.
One person fed one grass, and the most vicious one fed two. He was unable to speak for ten years.
Bai Wuchen felt that this punishment was light, and it really gave them an advantage.
As a righteous person, you cannot kill ordinary people at will, otherwise it will hinder your practice and be entangled in cause and effect.
A small amount of punishment is still okay.
After that, the two went to the village chief's house.
They wanted to ask the village chief about the situation in Nanshan.
The village chief was about to take a nap, but he was too old to take it anymore.
After seeing Bai Wuchen and the others arriving, they quickly stood up.
In the hall, Bai Wuchen and Song Yu were sitting at the front.
Bai Wuchen wanted to give in, but Song Yu sat down calmly, so he didn't say anything else.
In the world of immortality, strength is respected, and the status of monks is higher than that of mortals. This is common sense.
Bai Wuchen didn't have this consciousness. He still wanted to respect the old, love the young, and be humble.
Little did they know how frightened the village chief would be if he were sitting in the first place.
"Is there a passage into Nanshan?"
Song Yu got straight to the point.
"Well, there was phosphate iron ore in the mountains in the early years, and it was mined for a while. But the mine tunnel has been closed for so many years, and no one has ever gone in. I'm afraid..."
"Tell us the entrance to the mine tunnel."
"Just east of Nanshan, at the foot of the mountain, there is a big rusty stone at the entrance of the cave."
"Okay, let's go."
Song Yu glanced at Bai Wuchen, and the two walked out together.
When passing by the kitchen, Bai Wuchen saw two skinny little girls working beside an old woman.
The life of the village chief's family should be the best in the village.
Bai Wuchen has seen the village chief's children and grandchildren, who are fatter and better looking than others in the village.
"It seems that this village chief is patriarchal. This is true for his family, let alone other families. This village chief has not played a good leading role."
Walking out of the village chief's house, Bai Wuchen felt something.
"Their family is indeed more serious. When we go back, we should tell the monk stationed in the nearby immortal city and ask him to appoint a village chief with good character."
Power is such a good thing.
He was still worried about what to do, but Song Yu had already thought of a solution.
