Chapter 346: The Greed of the Human Heart


Qinghong and Li Jingxun followed the example of mortals and hurried in the other direction, resting at an inn in a small town in the evening.

The town was quite noisy, and there were many people coming to the market from all directions.

The few inns in the town were full one by one, and in the end, Li Jingxun and Qinghong had to squeeze into a dilapidated warehouse.

The warehouse was at the end of the inn, in a remote location, and few people came.

And the warehouse is dark and damp, not a place to live for a long time.

The two frowned, but finally endured it.

After all, the two of them have to go through a lot of hardships when they travel through the world, and this is just a small thing.

Qinghong stood at the door, silently watching the town's qi.

Li Jingxun began to pack the mattress, light the lights, and tidy up the house.

When everything was done, she asked Qinghong, "Senior brother, do you feel it?"

” "There is something different here, and the gold in the town is mixed, I'm afraid it's a little bad."

"What, those people again?"

"It should be them.

Unexpectedly, the game world is not at peace.

But it's okay, it's better to find out early than to be tossed by them later.

Qinghong sighed and said, "It's really an old enemy, this is the first time we've met someone from the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect?"

” "Seventh-eighth."

"The eighth time?

Hopefully, nothing innocent will happen this time. ” The Heavenly Heart Demon Sect is one of the few gates in the Demon Dao that uses the Heart Demon to enter the Dao.

The Demon Sect emphasizes the nourishment of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, and unlike the ordinary Demon Dao that refines the demonic qi, they are better at mixing in the world, provoking the emotions of mortals, and using that strong emotion to refine the Seven Emotions Pill for them.

Qinghong and Li Jingxun have traveled in the past few years and have met many disciples of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect.

If you're lucky, you can even capture people and send them to the Demon Suppression Tower, but if you're unlucky, you can only watch people escape.

"It's a small town, and there are very few visitors on weekdays.

As a result, several inns were poorly prepared.

Right now, the crowd is pouring into the town, forcing them to even use the firewood warehouse. ” Qinghong walked around the inn and saw that the firewood in the original firewood room was scattered in the corner.

There are also the original goods in the warehouse, which are also scattered in other parts of the inn.

If there is a good one, there is a fire, and I don't know how many people will die in the inn?

Qinghong's thought flashed in his heart, and he said to Li Jingxun: "It's evening, if you and I don't plan to eat at the inn, let's go out and have a look?"

” "It's fine."

The two of them packed up and went out to find out the information.

The town is called Chuanyang Town, and it was originally a quiet and remote small place.

But a few days ago, someone suddenly found gold nuggets from the bottom of the river in the distance.

After the news spread, many villagers in the town went to visit the river and dug up gold nuggets one after another.

Gold is hidden at the bottom of the river!

The news spread quickly from Chuanyang Town to the surrounding towns, so many people flocked to make a fortune in the river.

Qinghong and the two walked on the narrow and crowded streets.

Approaching night, there are still a lot of people in the town, and even many people who can't afford to live in an inn, are making bunks in the corners.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Qinghong vaguely felt a rush of heat.

Suddenly, seeing a group of beggars in the distance, Qinghong's eyes moved slightly: "Senior sister, there are people from the beggar gang here, can you ask about the situation?"

” "It's fine."

The two were temporarily separated, and Li Jingxun went to find out the situation with the beggar gang, but Qinghong jumped and stood in an attic at the highest point of the town, looking around the Chuanyang Town.

There is a canal next to Chuanyang Town.

This canal is drawn from a river 30 zhang away, and can be used as a fire protection for the town on weekdays.

Of course, the town's domestic water is also here.

Every day, sewage is brought in from the city and downstream by means of drainage channels brought in by the canals.

"Although the scale of this town is small, the ingenuity shows the ingenuity of the designer."

After looking at it for a while, Li Jingxun came to look for it below, and Qinghong jumped back to the ground: "Senior sister, how is the situation over there?"

” "About the river digging up gold.

I have three rumors. ” "Oh?

Three copies?

” "One is that this place was the site of a treasure left over from the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago.

The gold at the bottom of the river is actually a treasure left over from the previous dynasty. ” "In that case, the court will not sit idly by."

"Therefore, this rumor is absurd, and no one is stupid to report to the official."

"And the second?"

"A rich man died last year on the edge of the river, and his family fortune fell into the water, and now he is being fished up."

"That's a bit credible.

What else?

” "Self-produced gold at the bottom of the river."

"From the point of view of the water quality and the soil, this river will definitely not breed gold, let alone the so-called mineral veins."

Qinghong asserted: "That gold, someone must be hiding at the bottom of the river.

By the way, junior sister, how many days has this news been circulating?

” "It is said that the news came out four days ago.

And it was only five days before the first person dug up the gold. ” "Five days?

Time is too short.

The first person digs up the gold, the news spreads five days later, and then so many people gather in four days?

Even if the money is tempting, it can't spread so quickly in five days.

I even saw people in the big city next door.

Two days after the news passed, wouldn't it take a few days of fermentation time to determine?

One back and forth is enough for five days, and if you calculate the time of intermediate fermentation, it is absolutely impossible to be nine days.

At least that means—" "Does it mean that someone is behind it?

Senior sister, I have already sent someone to find the person who first mined the gold, hoping that it will be a breakthrough. ” "Hmm."

Li Jingxun paused, and then asked: "The method of the Demon Gate encourages people's hearts, this is to use money to attract people's greed, and then provoke mortals to fight?"

” What kind of "swallowing gold and eating children" and "two peaches killing three soldiers", the two of them have encountered a lot when dealing with the Tianxin Demon Sect.

The sea of suffering in the human world, this greed, hatred, hatred and other desires is the source of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect.

According to Ji Feichen's understanding of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect, the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect can be described as having a bright future.

After all, Xuan Zhengzhou does not have the so-called "Heavenly Demon".

Not to mention that when the cultivation reaches a certain level in the immortal family, there will be external demons to obstruct it.

The existence of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect, in Ji Feichen's speculation, may be the predecessor of the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Sect appeared and the Heavenly Demon opened up a cave after the Heavenly Queen.

The Cave Heaven with the spirit as the source can be regarded as an extraterritorial Heavenly Demon Realm, automatically absorbing all the negative emotions of the Red Dust and Bitter Sea to grow.

At that time, they could secretly obstruct the Dao when the Immortal Family was cultivating.

The threat of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect was still above the sea of blood in Ji Feichen's eyes.

"With the lure of gold, the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect can definitely do it.

But I always felt that there was something wrong behind it.

Let's go back and talk about it.

Looking at the people around him, Qinghong took Li Jingxun's hand and returned to the inn.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper added water to the house of the two of them, and the three of them collided.

Smelling the aroma of tea, Qinghong sniffed it, and then immediately stepped forward: "Little brother, this water is coming from the river?"

” The shopkeeper shook his head: "In the past few days, people have often dug gold in the river, where can the river water be drunk."

This is the well in our backyard.

This well is one of only three wells in our Chuanyang Town.

It is the treasure of our inn, and only our shopkeeper's family can enjoy it on weekdays.

In the past few days, there has been no water in the city, and the shopkeeper deliberately asked us to fetch water from the well in the backyard to make tea for the guests.

The two guest officers are in good time. ” Li Jingxun: "Good time?

The river water cannot be used, and it is inconvenient.

Do you do laundry and cooking, and you fetch water from the backyard?

” "The well doesn't produce much water, just for our inn to drink.

But don't worry, the water for washing and cooking is all brought by our people from far upstream early in the morning.

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper seemed to think of something and kept silent.

"Little brother has something to say, why don't you just say it?

The two of us are not gold diggers, so we will only stay for a few days and leave, and we will not delay your business.

Looking at the territory you have arranged for us, is there anything else that is not to be said?

” "Don't hide it from the two of you.

In the past few days, many gold diggers have come from all directions.

It seems that they deliberately intercepted the upstream and temporarily cut off the river in order to make it easier to get gold from the bottom of the river. ” "Cut off the river?"

Qinghong squinted, as if he understood something.

"I don't need you here, let's go down first."

The second child left the shop, and the two returned to the warehouse.

In the small warehouse, there is only a small wooden bed and a table.

Qinghong opened the teapot and checked: "This water is really good, it seems that there are some good things in this town." ” The few green leaves in the teapot floated in the emerald tea.

After pouring a glass and tasting it, you can feel a faint sweetness, which is completely different from ordinary well water.

"By the way, there is still a faint aura in this water?"

Li Jingxun looked at the teapot and said in surprise: "Is this actually a spiritual spring?"

” "Chuanyang Town, I'm afraid this town is not simple!"

Afterwards, Qinghong moved a small bench and immediately began to paint the composition of the entire town.

Li Jingxun looked at the small wooden bed in the warehouse: "Senior brother, ...... tonight?"

"You sleep in the bed, and I make the bunk.

It doesn't matter, why should an immortal family like us care about this?

You come and look at the drawings I made.

Qinghong buried himself in the pen, and after he finished painting, he asked Li Jingxun to come over.

"Look—" Qinghong pointed to the drawings and said, "Chuanyang Town is built by relying on the river next to it.

Lead the canal from the river, turn from the south gate to the west gate, and then return to the river from the north gate.

This aqueduct surrounds the town and also serves as their drainway. ” Li Jingxun Qianqianyu pointed on the drawing, and the whole person entered a state of meditation, exploring the terrain of Chuanyang Town with inspiration Dafa.

"Because of the topography, the south is high and the north is low, and the drainage canals flow from south to north.

Take Suzaku Road, re-flow into the canal at the north gate, and then discharge into the downstream mouth of the river?

” "Not bad.

In this way, drinking and draining are correct, and it can also prevent fire on weekdays.

But—" After all, the girl and Qinghong had a heart-to-heart connection, and immediately understood Qinghong's meaning: "Senior brother is worried that the river will be blocked, so the water of the river will not flow into the town."

If there is a fire in the town, will there be a big disaster?

” "Not bad."

"But on the map drawn by the senior brother, didn't there be a corresponding backup method early?"

Li Jingxun passed by the four corners of the town one by one: "Chuanyang Town leads four reservoirs from the canal to provide daily water.

If there is a fire, this water is enough for the time being.

This should have been a response to the fear that someone would block the river and cut off the town's drinking water during the war.

At this time, it can be used. ” "A small fire, maybe the fire prevention measures prepared in the town will work.

But don't forget, there's a lot of people in town right now.

What if there is a panic stampede?

” At the moment, there are people on both sides of the street who are laying on the floor.

You know, this kind of town doesn't have any parallel official roads.

Sleeping on the ground with pedestrians, if it really makes a fuss, I'm afraid it will be too late to put out the fire.

"Not to mention, there are a lot of outsiders in the town.

The town's neighbors may be able to mobilize and unite to deal with the fire.

But the first reaction of these outsiders when they encounter a fire is to save people or save their lives?

” The streets of the town are not wide in the first place, and if there is another crowd of people.

One side carries water to save people, the other side runs for their lives, and the two sides are on the street, and the fire that could have been saved will not be saved because of the spread of the fire.

If there is another situation of stampede to death, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

Li Jingxun was told by this and immediately came to his senses.

Thinking deeper, I am afraid that there is another intention in this matter.

"If the town does burn down, the surviving townsfolk will be angry.

And the gold diggers who come from all over the world will become an outlet.

Is this to force them to kill each other?

Indeed, this is like the handiwork of the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect, with the help of mortals killing each other to obtain the corresponding negative emotions. ” "It's possible.

But don't you think the sacrifice is a bit big?

Qing Hong was a little puzzled: "It is true that after Chuanyang Town is destroyed by fire, it will inevitably hit the townspeople hard, and then provide the corresponding negative emotions to the Tianxin Demon Sect.

Emotions such as grief, grief, regret, and even resentment are excellent food for them.

But this emotion is only a one-time harvest at the cost of mortal numbers.

It's better to run a long stream and slowly operate here for a few years.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Sect was not a stupid person, how could he not think of this step?

” "Senior brother's thoughts, don't you suspect that there are other demon forces behind it?"

"If the Demon Sect unites, it is impossible to target this small town.

It should be someone from the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect, but how many affiliated forces may be involved?

But if the Heavenly Heart Demon Sect was still in charge, he would never do such an conspicuous thing.

Hiding in the shadows, inducing mortals to kill each other, and absorbing power little by little like a long stream of water, this is their usual trick."

"Setting fire to the town in one go, although the hand is very large, it is contrary to the Tianxin Demon Sect's consistent exquisite methods.

I always feel that they have other plans behind them. ” Qinghong couldn't figure it out, shook his head and said, "Forget it, no matter what, what they want to do, let's just oppose it."

Doing this well is my chance. ” Hearing this, Li Jingxun smiled: "Yes, if the other party really wants to set fire."

Then the senior brother who is good at walking clouds and spreading rain must be a good time to make merits.

By the way, you can also spread your 24 solar terms. ” "It's not all.

I have a feeling that there is red air rising and white waves rolling under this town, and I think there is a Shinto foundation.

Here, when a water god was born. ” The Tianxin Demon Sect set fire to the town, gold appeared under the river, the inn well contained aura, and there was an image of the rise of the water god in the town.

The piles and piles illustrate the extraordinary things about this place.
