Where the wind chimes sound, there is a god

Chapter 7: Elimination of Adultery
At the chaotic city gate, there were more than a dozen soldiers maintaining order in and out. Jincheng had been stable for more than ten years and no one was searched one by one. However, they still had to verify their identity, that is, their household registration certificate, to prove their identity.

Chen Beimo's panic slowly dissipated after he queued up to leave the city. If it weren't for the group of soldiers riding their horses in the street to disperse the strange aura, he would have been beaten to death as a demon.

He probably didn't believe in these things in his previous life, but in this life, he can control snakes. The green snake spirits he encountered in the mountains all show that this is a world where supernatural powers exist, so these mediums probably really have some magical powers.

But where did the evil spirit in me come from?

He is a human being, and there is no ghost possessing him. Could it be that the soul of the old master has not yet dissipated?

Chen Beimo walked and thought as he carried a bamboo basket, all the way to the outer mountains of Yunzhu Mountain.

On the tall city wall, stood two mysterious figures wearing star robes and long hats. The soldiers beside them all stood respectfully, fearing that any mistake would displease the two masters of the Six Gods.

"Qi Hong, did you sense it just now?"

"Are you talking about that divine power?" The man in star robe who was asked had a tall and strong body, a strong face, and a masculine air.

"It's probably some god who came down to play. Today is the third day of the third lunar month. Isn't this normal?"

"You're right." The man who spoke first said, "If there really is any evil spirit, it's not something we two warriors from the Rain God Division can deal with."

"Anyway, our chief is in Lingping, so we don't have to worry about it. But, you said that Jincheng is just a small city, is it really going to be set up as the capital of Jinzhou Prefecture?"

"How could it be false? Otherwise, how could our boss, with such a noble status, come to this small town?"

……

On the mountain road, Chen Beimo found that he had broken out in cold sweat on his back. The scene just now was too shocking and beyond his understanding.

By noon, he had already entered the mountain, paid his respects to his master in front of the grave, and prayed that his master would rest in peace soon, and that everything was fine at home and he didn't need to worry.

In any case, he felt at ease after burning paper in front of his relatives' graves. On the way back, he carefully analyzed the matter of leaving the city.

He also knew something about the legend of Guan Jiangshou. It was said that they were originally two ferocious ghost kings. After being subdued by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, they became gods of the underworld, who only killed but did not save. Baihe Tongzi was a god who was in charge of leading the way, but don't underestimate him. In the world's ghost and god affairs, leading the way and tracking the tracks was mostly the job of this god.

Chen Beimo understood a little bit. He didn't know why the priest had possessed him, but the two generals of the underworld were Yin gods, while the officers and soldiers on horseback were accompanied by the orthodox official aura of the dynasty, which was Yang.

When Yin meets Yang, Yin disperses and Yang passes away. It was the soldier on horseback who broke through the force field of the Yin and Ming gods and inadvertently saved his own life.

Thinking of this, a bold idea came to his mind. He found a small pond with dense aquatic plants blocking people's vision and shouted low slogans. A dozen wild snakes near the water surrounded him as his protectors.

Chen Beimo sat cross-legged, calming his mind and visualizing the water in the well. Water has roots and connects to the underworld. The yin energy rises and the yang energy falls into the water. At the same time, he uses his mind to guide the qi to move the acupoints.

The sense of Qi that had been intermittent before was now extremely smooth. He inhaled and drew in the wind from the surroundings. At this moment, the sun was setting, the yin was rising and the yang was increasing, the female and yang turned into water, as if a bit of Qi in his body had broken through the thirty-six barriers and finally landed in his dantian and lower abdomen.

Chen Beimo suddenly opened his eyes. He was not sure if he had succeeded, but he could indeed feel a little bit of air in his lower abdomen.

This bit of Qi was neither sinking nor floating, and it was between reality and illusion. With his perception of the body, he could only feel a faint breath in his body. But if there was any mystery, he could not feel it at all.

However, if I can succeed once today, there will definitely be a second and third time in the future. If I keep accumulating like this over a long period of time, things will be different in the future.

Chen Beimo felt much calmer. He estimated that most of the temple fairs in the city should be over, so he stood up and prepared to return to the city.

Looking at the sun halo gradually disappearing on the edge of the distant western mountain, the clouds in the sky are colorful, like a burning sky, the weak sunlight shines on the water grass and marshes, and the insects chirp, it is quiet, but very comfortable.

Chen Beimo carried a bamboo basket and walked towards the city. It was getting dark and it was not safe outside the city. Fortunately, there were several villages along the way. After leaving this dense water grass marsh, there was a mountain road.

But he had just walked a dozen steps when he suddenly heard sounds of struggle and screaming coming from the dense grass, and the tip of a patch of grass not far away was shaking violently.

Chen Beimo stopped and looked at the situation. Could it be that those men and women from the mountain villages who couldn't bear the loneliness were looking for happiness in the bushes?
How could he get through? The road was covered with grass as tall as a person. When he walked through, the grass leaves would rustle so loudly that it would definitely disturb the couple.

Just as Chen Beimo was still hesitating, another scream came from the bushes in front.

"Uncle, please let me go! I'm scared!"

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Er is taking you to play with good things. You will be happy soon!"

"No, Second Uncle, please let me go! I don't want it! I don't want it! Wuuuuuu..."

Chen Beimo was stunned when he heard the voice, because the childish voice belonged to a boy who sounded young!

This reminded him of a report he had read somewhere in his previous life, that bachelors or men living alone in rural areas would often prey on village girls.

But few people know that in the vast rural areas there are more boy victims who keep silent about their crimes because they are boys and no one thinks they will be targeted. But precisely because they are boys, neither the parents nor the children themselves have ever thought of this possibility, let alone speak out.

In ancient society, such situations were even more terrifying, but they were hidden in the torrent of history and no one ever paid attention to them, causing irreparable trauma to their young minds.

Those elders who are kind and amiable in front of others are demons in the eyes of children behind their backs!
Chen Beimo didn't even need to think, he shouted: "Who is that person in front!"

His shout startled the birds in the water and made them spread their wings and fly away, the frogs in the pond stopped croaking, and the struggling in the grass stopped.

But the weak voice of the young Chen Beimo could not scare away the lustful man. He saw a burly dark-skinned man unbuttoning the buttons on the chest of his short shirt and standing up to fasten his belt. When he looked up, he saw a handsome young man in a green shirt with handsome eyebrows and eyes, who was much more handsome than his country nephew. Therefore, he, who had not yet aroused his lust, could not help but become bolder and rushed over without saying a word.

The two men were only a few feet apart. The man rushed forward in a few steps and was about to pounce on Chen Beimo when a brightly colored triangular-headed snake suddenly jumped out from Chen Beimo's shoulder, spitting out its tongue and ignoring him.

The burly man was frightened by the bizarre scene and stopped in his tracks. A few faint rays of sunlight under the setting sun shone on the handsome young man. He had fair skin, long black hair, and a venomous snake around his shoulders. He was as beautiful as a snake demon that transformed into a human and waited for its prey to take the bait!

"You...who are you?

"

The man couldn't help but ask. He worked in the mountains all year round and was not afraid of ordinary small snakes. But the snake on the shoulder of the "man" in front of him was the most poisonous one in the three nearby mountains, the colorful snake king. Once bitten by this snake, it can be said that there is no cure and you can only lie down and wait for death. Every year, people in several nearby villages are killed by this poisonous snake.

Chen Beimo did not reply to him, but stretched out his trembling hand and pointed at the burly man. A dozen snakes lurking in the grass immediately jumped out from under his feet and pounced on the man.

"Ah! Monster! Monster!"

The burly man lost his courage instantly after seeing this horrifying scene, and ran out into the bushes shouting in fear.

Unfortunately, there were already four or five snakes hanging on his body. The poisonous ones bit his exposed skin, while the non-venomous ones wrapped their bodies around his neck and hands.

On the mountain road outside the bushes, Tuwa panickedly put on his torn clothes and prepared to run away, but suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

Fear suddenly surged in his heart. It was that monster-like second uncle who had returned!
But when Tuwa was about to run away, he saw four or five huge snakes of different colors hanging from his second uncle's body!

My second uncle struggled in fear, trying to hold the snakes' bodies with both hands and try to throw them off his body, but each snake's body was so soft and slippery that he couldn't hold it at all. They would slip away if he exerted force.

Tu Wa stepped back in shock when he saw this scene. His second uncle opened his mouth and shouted, "Tu Wa, come and help your uncle! Quick... um... um..."

While he was speaking, a long black snake slipped into his mouth. This horrifying scene frightened the eleven-year-old boy so much that his legs went limp. The body would become temporarily stiff due to extreme fear.

Then, one big snake after another crawled out of the bushes and ran into his body through his trouser legs. One big snake even bit his second uncle between his legs. The severe pain caused the burly man to fall to the ground and roll around, and the snakes on his body were also rolling around.

The grass suddenly parted, and Tuwa watched a handsome boy walk out of it. Coiled around his shoulder was a colorful venomous snake that his father had said was the most terrifying. But the snake not only did not bite him, but instead rubbed the boy's ear affectionately.

He was stunned. Seeing the young man approaching him, and the venomous snake was less than a foot away from him, Tu Wa trembled and asked, "You...are you a snake demon?"

Chen Beimo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "That's right, I'm the snake demon from Yunzhu Mountain, I specialize in eating rapists and prostitutes!"

As he spoke, the colorful poisonous snake on his shoulder suddenly opened its mouth and spit out its tongue, scaring the boy so much that he fell to the ground.

Chen Beimo smiled and helped him up, saying, "Don't be afraid, your uncle deserves it. Good boy, go home."

Tu Wa nodded stiffly, then said numbly: "Go home.

Come back home.

go home. "

Watching the child walk back home, Chen Beimo turned around and looked at the burly man who was entangled by more than a dozen snakes and had only one breath left, and said, "It's a pity that there were no snakes to bite your eyes blind!"

The big man said in a weak and terrified voice: "Snake Fairy, spare... spare my life!"

He just felt weak all over and he didn't know how many times he was bitten. The severe pain from his lower body made him completely unable to resist.

Chen Beimo looked down at him and extended his hand to him.

The burly man thought the snake demon had softened its heart, so he stretched out his hand desperately to grab it.

But when the handsome young man in front of him stretched out his hand, a colorful-bellied poison king crawled down his arm and bit his hand. The deadly venom entered his body through his fangs. The stinging pain on his skin had become numb, but the fear of death in his heart began to gradually increase.

The seemingly thin and beautiful boy in front of you is actually a demon who kills without blinking an eye!

Chen Beimo picked up the bamboo basket, straightened his clothes, and left without looking back.

The snakes on the burly man's body also dispersed one after another. He tilted his head, his eyelids heavy, watching the last sunset glow in the distant sky disappear along with the figure in green clothes. It was night.

……

Chen Beimo placed the colorful-bellied venomous snake in a bamboo basket to calm it down, then covered it with paper money and a cloth shirt and walked back to the city.

He had no sympathy for the man. He was still weak, and if the man was alive, he would probably recognize him and cause endless trouble, so he had to make sure his attack was clean and fatal.

If I couldn't control the snake, I would be harmed by this man's dirty thoughts today.

The child looked no more than ten years old. How many people could believe what a child said?
Chen Beimo thought for a while, and found that he had not left any problems, so he felt relieved to go into the city. The man died in the mouth of a poisonous snake in the wild, what does it have to do with him?
When he entered the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city only took a look at the household registration certificate, and then saw that the basket contained things for memorializing the dead, and shouted "bad luck" before letting him enter the city.

The city gates have closing times every night. If you miss it, you can only sleep outside the city for a night and wait until the gates open at 7 o'clock the next day to enter the city.

The West Quarter was much darker at night, but in the distance in the East Quarter, bright lights could still be seen, illuminating the darkness so that the entire city was not completely dark.

Of course, there is still some light in front of every citizen's house, either candlelight from the paper-covered windows, or tall lanterns hung in front of some shops that remain open at night for lighting.

Chen Beimo did not go through the front door of the street, but walked back to Xishui Street from the back alley. Even at night, there were still some gods from the temple fair patrolling the front street, and if he ran into a gangster again, it would be troublesome.

The alley was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Fortunately, he had prepared a tinderbox. He took it out of the bamboo basket, opened the lid, and blew it with his mouth to light a flame to illuminate the way ahead.

As soon as I turned into the alley, I saw a woman squatting in front of a small door burning paper money. The woman was still mumbling something.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would have run away in fear, but Chen Beimo has never been afraid of these ghosts and monsters. He walked over and saw that it was Granny Chen, so he asked, "Granny Chen, what are you praying for?"

The woman who heard the voice slowly turned around. Her wrinkled face looked a little scary under the firelight at night. She said gloomily, "Be careful. Today is the day when ghosts come down from the mountain. I advise you to walk through the front street to avoid being scared and crying."

Chen Beimo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Granny Chen, I'm not a coward."

As he said this, he continued walking into the alley. After walking a dozen steps, he suddenly felt something strange. Usually, Grandma Chen was always smiling, so why was she so serious today?
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked.

But he found that Granny Chen in the distance was burning paper money. Suddenly, the fire paper in the basin was blown up by a strange wind, and the fiery red flame turned green. Granny Chen was so shocked that she stood up and screamed loudly. Then her wrinkled face suddenly turned around and looked gloomily at Chen Beimo who was surrounded by darkness. The strange screaming of the old woman echoed in the narrow alley.
