Seeing that no one came up with an answer, the deputy commander continued: "That's why I refused to go down the river at night to save the lives of my brothers. Instead, I waited until dawn tomorrow to find out what the so-called Cave of Thousand Corpses was all about.

.”

"I don't care if it's a cave of thousands of corpses or a cave of ten thousand corpses. I don't believe that I brought so many brothers today and can't turn it upside down. If it doesn't work with so many brothers, just blow them all up and kill them all."

, so as not to come out and cause trouble later.”

"What's going on down here will naturally be clear by tomorrow daytime."

…

…

The next day.

The story about the Yinyi River's drying up has spread all over the city.

After a day of deliberation, the matter spread to nearby counties and villages along with traveling merchants and people leaving the city.

But what is most talked about and discussed after dinner is about the Cave of Thousand Corpses that appeared after the Yinyi River stopped flowing overnight.

Although officials have come forward to refute the rumors, saying that there is no such thing, people should not spread rumors and create panic.

After the river stopped flowing, thousands of caves did appear, but there were no corpses at all. It was just a rumor among the people.

It was just an ordinary Thousand Cave, because it was washed away by the river all the year round, and the rocks under the river were washed out into water holes one by one.

The reason why the Yinyi River stopped flowing is also very simple. The debris flow collapsed, causing the river water to be cut off.

Although some officials came forward to refute the rumors, people still talked about the Thousand Corpses Cave with great enthusiasm, and this matter also reached the ears of the old Taoist priests in Jin'an.

In the early morning of this day, Jin An stood on the roof of the Taoist temple, facing the morning glow, and after breathing out the vitality, he used Taoist skills to "find things in the bag" and stole a few peaches without doing his job. After that, he went to Uncle Lin opposite the Taoist temple to share the peaches.

After following Jin An for so long, the old Taoist priest has learned well now. Now, as long as Jin An sticks his butt, he will know what color Jin An is going to fart.

The old Taoist priest who was sweeping the yard with a dustpan and broom immediately followed Jin An to beg for peaches. In the end, the old Taoist priest, sword sharpener, and goat all got the peaches.

When Jin An came to the coffin shop opposite today, he found that there was business coming to the coffin shop early this morning. It was a woman and two maids.

From the looks of it, he looks like someone from a wealthy family.

Jin'an and the old Taoist priest saw that the coffin shop had business this morning, and originally planned to come to the coffin shop owner later. Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin took the initiative to call Jin'an and the old Taoist priest.

The two of them walked into the coffin shop with some curiosity.

"Mrs. He, these two are both Taoist priests of the Five Zang Taoist Temple. If you want to find someone to exorcise evil spirits, you might as well talk to them."

"This is Taoist Priest Jin'an."

"This is Daochang Chen."

Uncle Lin introduced the other party that in order to avoid being seen by others, Jin An had been wearing the Taoist robe of the five internal organs since he came to Fucheng.

Exorcism?

Jin An was really curious now.

Since the other party is a noble lady, she seems to have status, status and no shortage of money. Why would she go to a small shop like Uncle Lin to find someone to exorcise evil spirits?

This is not because Jin An deliberately looked down on Uncle Lin.

The main thing is that this thing is really illogical.

Since he is a nobleman and his family is not short of money, he must go to the Bailong Temple, the largest temple in Fucheng, to exorcise evil spirits. There are several other big temples and Taoist temples in Fucheng, so why not the small temple?

Unexpectedly, when the woman met Jin An and the old Taoist priest, she took another look at the dilapidated Taoist temple opposite the coffin shop, which was a small Taoist temple with no incense and no incense. She politely greeted the two of them, and then told Uncle Lin that she wanted to go there again.

After thinking about it, he took the pair of young maids behind him and left.

When the lady walked out of the street, Jin An threw a peach to Uncle Lin, and then asked Uncle Lin what happened to the lady just now?

Uncle Lin didn't care whether the peach had been washed or not. Anyway, he ate it uncleanly and didn't get sick. After taking a bite of the fresh and juicy peach, he talked about the reason.

"That lady is the eldest lady from He Mansion."

"Master He Guihe from He Mansion is one of the three major medicinal material dealers in Fucheng. These three medicinal material dealers control most of the medicinal material purchase channels in Fucheng."

"But recently, something unfortunate happened to the He family. Because this kind of family misfortune should not be publicized too much, the people of the He family cannot go to those big temples or Taoist temples, which are popular places.

More or less, she will interact with famous people in the city. So she heard someone introduce her and came to me, hoping that I could introduce her to some exorcists who have real skills and practices."

"Perhaps it's because in recent days, Mrs. He has been in urgent need of medical treatment and has found many charlatans, so she is a little on guard and needs to go back and think about it for some time."

Jin An heard this and asked curiously: "What kind of misfortune happened to the family?"

"You need to hide it so much, are you afraid of being known by outsiders?"

Uncle Lin shook his head this time and said: "Mrs. He did not tell the truth. She was very guarded. She only said that she would tell her in private after she confirmed the candidate."

This was just a small incident, and Jin An didn't waste too much energy on it.

Instead, Jin An asked about another thing: "Why did Uncle Lin recommend us to Mrs. He so firmly?"

Uncle Lin continued to eat peaches and said, "Taoist Master Chen and Xiao Taoist Jin An are both people with real abilities."

Uncle Lin's words were a bit ambiguous.

On the contrary, the old Taoist priest beside him made his eyebrows dance and his face couldn't stop being happy.

After eating the peaches and chatting for a while, Jin An's life returned to its usual routine. Since he had perfected the "Blood Knife Sutra", "Baji Xingyi Quan" and "Black Mountain Kung Fu", Jin An's life has returned to normal these days.

Heaven has been consolidating my cultivation.

He was not in a hurry to enshrine martial arts secrets.

It took him a month to complete the entry speed that others had achieved in twenty or thirty years. He was worried that his foundation was unstable, so he spent a lot of time in recent days polishing and consolidating what he had learned.

There is no conflict between accumulation and progress in practice.

And on this night, the Yinyi River, which had stopped flowing overnight, miraculously regained its water level at night.

However.

Jin'an's peaceful life was broken by miserable cries after the third day.

That morning, Jin An, who was practicing in the private backyard of the Taoist temple, heard the crying that didn't stop for a long time, so he stopped and prepared to go out to see which family was crying.

As soon as he reached the front yard of the Taoist temple, he met an old Taoist priest who had returned from outside.

"Old Taoist, what's going on with the crying outside?"

The old Taoist priest said regretfully: "It's Mr. Ma from this street. His son, who was a village hero, died in a thousand caves. He didn't even see his body. I heard that this time the officials went to the caves."

Many people died. Of the more than a thousand people who set out from the barracks and Yong camp a few days ago, half died and only half escaped. Those soldiers and Xiangyong who died in Qiancao Cave all died without seeing their bodies.

Everyone stayed in the Jiangxia Cave."

Mr. Ma, as the old Taoist said, was known to Jin An.

A month ago, when Jin An first arrived at Wu Zang Taoist Temple, this old man was among the old people sitting at the door basking in the sun.

The man's body is strong and his eyes are clear. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, a man with white hair has given birth to a man with black hair.

"What's going on? Is it because the river water recovered the night before and those people were drowned alive and couldn't escape?"

Ps: There is only one update today. The 233 red envelopes that did not reach the target yesterday have been sent out in the v group. In fact, I know that the goal of 10,000 updates per day is very difficult to achieve, so why do I still promise to send out 233 red envelopes if I can't complete it?
Chapter completed!
