Chapter 542: Born equal
It’s not surprising that there is no one in the town. It’s because of this that Li Si brought everyone out.
Otherwise, such a large group of people would easily attract other people's attention.
"From the records at that time, the scholar returned home from Tianmen Village. We can find the place where the scholar encountered ghosts from the road from Chaotianmen Village, Wangxi Town." Li Si saw the town and looked at everyone.
When everyone heard this, their faces showed excitement.
I found that place today and it is very likely that I can go to the next floor, so that I can get closer to leaving here.
Then, everyone entered Wangxi Town.
The town seemed very quiet at this time, with the faint moonlight falling in the town, illuminating the empty streets.
"Brother Li, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful when I go to the next floor this time." After entering Wangxi Town, Zhang Yuan lowered his voice beside Li Si and said: "If I'm not wrong, there will always be ghost guarding this kind of passage, so we won't enter the next floor, so that there will be people dying in many places."
"You mean, after that scholar killed the ghost, there were ghosts here again?" Li Si thought for a moment, then frowned and said.
"nature."
Zhang Yuan nodded, paused, then shook his head and smiled, "Didn't you think the debate about ghosts is interesting before? We are likely to meet the real master this time."
Hearing his words, Li Si raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised, "Do you think the ghost guarding here is likely to be that scholar?"
"I'm not sure." Zhang Yuan smiled on his face and rubbed the fan in his hand. "I just thought it was possible. After all, this is interesting, right? What's more, only this explanation can explain why there was no death in that place."
Li Si was silent after hearing this and asked, "Do you think that because the new ghost is that scholar, there is no harm to the people in the village?"
He has only seen such a ghostly suppressing person a few times, but he didn't expect that he could meet such a person here.
"Not necessarily, humans are naturally consuming ghosts, and it is difficult to control them." Zhang Yuan shook his head, spread the folding fan in his hand, and a half-human and half-demon head was exposed. "The bigger thing is that he eats people, but someone has covered him, so the government here doesn't know."
It was at this time that everyone passed by a corner.
Zhang Yuan paused and turned to look at a tall ancestral hall next to him.
As he looked at the ancestral hall, everyone stopped and followed Zhang Yuan's gaze.
I saw three words written on the plaque of the ancestral hall, Wang Xi Temple.
When Li Si saw this scene, he looked at Zhang Yuan with a strange look. This was a prophecy.
Since this is called Wang Xi Temple, it is not a ancestral hall built for Wang Xi, and who else was it built for?
At the same time, Li Si's nose twitched slightly, and her brows frowned.
He also smelled a faint smell of blood in this air.
Although the smell of blood is so light that it is almost impossible to smell it, he was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood after many battles, so he smelled it out in an instant.
Afterwards, Li Si and Zhang Yuan looked at each other and took everyone toward Wang Xi Temple.
When I walked to the side of Wang Xi’s ancestral hall, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
But there is also a strong incense here, which is entangled with the smell of blood, and the taste looks a bit weird.
"The smell here is quite nice." It was at this moment that Zhang Yuan muttered in a low voice.
Li Si looked at him speechlessly, but he didn't know that Zhang Yuan had such interests.
Seeing him, Zhang Yuan looked at him with a clear smile.
"Let's go in and take a look." Li Si didn't want to say anything, and held it on the long sword in his hand.
As his hand moved, the sword light flashed.
"bite……"
With a crisp sound, the door lock fell to the ground.
When everyone saw the clear sword light, they felt a chill shave from their skin, and goose bumps stood up.
The sword fell on me and others, and I am afraid that my soul has returned to heaven and earth.
At this time, the people in Meihuawu also had a certain understanding of Li Si's strength, and also put away their contempt in their hearts, and treated Li Si a little respectfully.
"Jiga..."
Li Si pushed open the door, and a sound of wood rubbing that made people feel sour in their hearts sounded.
As the door opened, a strong smell of blood came to my face.
The smell was accompanied by the incense and a subtle smell of dead rats, which made everyone frown.
After opening the door, Li Si took everyone in.
Bypassing the screen in front of the door, the scenes in the ancestral hall came into view.
I saw an ordinary ancestral hall in front of me, with the abbot only about a hundred square meters.
Inside the ancestral hall, there is a table made of wood.
On the table are a few tablets, and the tablets are all names starting with the word "Wang", which are obviously the ancestors of Wangxi Village.
What Li Si noticed was that there was a painting hanging on those tablets.
There is a man dressed as a scholar in the painting, standing upright, looking ahead with a smile.
This painting looks a bit rough, and perhaps because of the age, the paper is a bit yellow and ragged.
The scholar's originally kind smile was a bit hideous and terrifying under the moonlight.
"This Wangxi Village is probably Wangxi Village." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile at Li Si when he saw this painting.
Li Si nodded, he could see that, as Zhang Yuan said before, Wang Xi was probably really a ghost, and he was worshipped here.
Then, he looked at a stone trough made by hollowed out by a stone in the yard. The inside of the trough was a little dark and a little worn.
In front of the stone trough, there was a jar with some fine wooden sticks burning incense.
The smell of blood and incense just now came from the stone trough and the jar.
Seeing the dark marks on the stone trough, Li Si frowned. He didn't have to think about what this thing was.
This is probably the blood stain left by the drying of blood.
The outside of the stone trough is cleaned very clean, and it is obvious that someone has cleaned it frequently.
However, the blood stain in this blood tank is still so heavy, and you can imagine how much blood has been produced here, which makes the blood stain impossible to clean.
"Wang Dexing sacrificed his daughter to the god on April 13, 319, Tianli..." It was at this time that someone murmured.
Li Si looked at him and there was a person standing in front of the wall in the yard watching.
The wall is inlaid with long black stone slabs, with dense fonts on it.
Then, Li Si walked up to take a closer look.
The above is like a book of merit, which says what people here do for their God.
Most of the words written on it are mainly about sacrifice women, and they all use the sentence structure mentioned by the plum blossom wall before.
And this wall, front, back, left and right, is probably more than twenty or thirty meters in total.
Even the people at Plum Blossom Dock felt cold in their hearts about the records on the black stone slab in front of them.
Although they have seen many people oppressing abandoned people in the sea of violence, they are definitely not as creepy as parents sacrificing their children in front of them.
"This village probably despises women more. It can be considered as using things they don't like to exchange for what they need, and it can also be said to be a good deal." At this time, Zhang Yuan's words came from the side.
"Human lives cannot be traded, even their parents cannot do this." Li Si said slowly when he heard Zhang Yuan's words.
He remembered what the original owner’s parents did, which was very similar to what was happening in front of him.
Everyone cannot choose their own family. Although they need to be grateful for bringing life to their parents, this does not mean that parents can control their children's choices and lives.
This is not unfilial, but life has no distinction between high and low, and should respect each other.
"And, it is not necessary for men to be superior to women." Li Si continued to say.
He comes from the earth and is also disgusted with this kind of boyishness over girls from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, like on Daughter Island, he also hates men as playthings.
"Brother Li, you take it for granted." Zhang Yuan shook his head, then said with a smile: "Human hearts are complicated, who can grasp the degree in his heart? Only people have disputes and interests. And with interests, there are high and low. Just like abandoning people on other islands, like common people on noble households, isn't that the case?"
Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "People's hearts are unpredictable. Although many people say that they are equal friends, they ask themselves, who can say true equality? Moreover, some people give him equality, but do they really want equality? After all, there is a ghost living in everyone's heart!"
When the others heard the conversation between Li Si and Zhang Yuan, they were all surprised and thought deeply in their hearts. They only felt that what they said seemed a bit profound for those of them who didn't study much.
When Li Si heard Zhang Yuan's words, he pondered for a while, and felt that Zhang Yuan was right and very reasonable.
"Dangdangdang!!!"
"Catch the thief!!! Someone has entered the ancestral hall!!!"
“…”
It was at this moment that a gong sounded, accompanied by a scream like a person tearing his throat.
In the ancestral hall, except for Li Si and Zhang Yuan, the expressions of others became terrified.
"It's interesting." Zhang Yuan's face was not frightened, but instead smiled.
