Chapter 5: Materialism is the first step in superstition

Views:

The security captain at the exit of the scenic spot was furious with Wei Xi's words before he left, and his whole person was not well.

However, Wei Xi was taken away by the seemingly wealthy couple again. He didn't dare to chase after him, and he couldn't hold his breath. Those who wear ordinary clothes, because they don't come out often and don't know how to brush tickets in scenic spots, they slow down the progress of exiting the gate.

The little security guard tried to persuade him a few times, but he didn't dare to go forward after being scolded. He could only listen to his leader's voice like Hong Zhong's reprimand resounding in his ears.

After a while, the tourists at one of the exits were crowded again. He stepped forward to check and found that it was two young men who couldn't find the tickets.

The clothes of the two of them were very dirty and torn, as if they had ripped apart frantically after rolling back and forth on the ground a few times. Although they were not as strange as the young man in the Taoist robe just now, the degree of desperation was not far from the same. There are wounds on the face.

The two of them looked a little irritable, and accused each other while taking out their pockets. The one in white said, "Damn, it's all you. You must have lost it when Yingzuifeng was fighting."

The one in the green shirt replied, "I also lost my ticket, not to mention that if you hadn't been rude at the time, we wouldn't have been able to fight."

The little security guard was at a loss. Just as he was about to step forward to ask, he saw his own leader hurried over. Seeing their embarrassed expressions, his expression immediately became impatient: "Why are you two blocking this? Where's the ticket? Take out the ticket."

The two replied, "The ticket is lost."

"Fuck." The captain of the security scolded when he heard it. "Today, everyone said that they lost their tickets. Stop talking nonsense, and come over and pay me the fine!"

The two of course refused, and they began to discuss, saying that they could take their ID cards and enter the system to check the ticket purchase records. It's a pity that the captain of the security wanted to find a punching bag. They seemed to be very easy to bully, but of course he refused.

Unexpectedly, these two people were dressed in rags, but their tempers were very arrogant. Seeing that the security guard was not only deliberately embarrassing, but also greeted his parents.

After all, they are two adult men, and even if the security captain is unreasonable, they will struggle enough to get angry. Carrying a riot stick, he just fought on equal footing with the two of them. When he was finally separated by the colleagues called by the little security guard, both sides were so injured that they couldn't stand up.

This is not the end, the security captain was asked to invite family members to escort him after entering the hospital. After thinking about it, he had to call his wife who had returned to her parents' home. The wife came, but she also brought a large group of relatives, all of whom came to support the divorce of their child who was beaten by her husband.

The security captain was terribly shocked. He couldn't figure out why his wife, who had been beaten for decades and had been submissive, was suddenly so tough this time.

He was angry, anxious, and hurt, and wanted the son who came with him to persuade his mother not to be confused, but the son who had just graduated from college came up to give him another punch, the hatred in his eyes was so intense that he felt chills all over.

"Don't know? I personally persuaded her to divorce you! My mother has endured you for me for so many years, and now I can finally make money to support her. Wait, you scum, good and evil will pay off in the end, The days to come are long!"

In the ward, the screeching, weeping, fisting, and hand-to-hand fighting sounds shocking. The security guards of other scenic spots who sent the leader to the hospital stood at the door and looked at each other, listening to the various gossip that colleagues started immediately. The little security guard was suddenly stunned.

He remembered the young man in a tattered Taoist robe at the entrance of the foreground area a few hours ago, and when the other party left, he looked back with a blank but firm expression and said, "It's bad luck if you want your wife and son to be separated."

The little security guard trembled in his heart and shivered.

Isn't it, so evil? Is that person really a master of iron-mouthed calculations? Then the Taicang Sect he was talking about at that time, it is estimated that it is really a very powerful and famous sect!

At the same time, a Cayenne without the side rear lights sped down the road.

Lin Hanyang glanced at his wife after finishing the work on the mobile phone, and saw that the other party was still playing with the rag, he frowned in disgust: "Okay, dirty, look at the ash on the mud above. , you're not in good health, you don't know how many bacteria you have on it, so quickly throw it away."

His wife was still angry, so of course she didn't listen, and gave him an angry look: "What do you know, if you hadn't caused trouble just now, I would have invited the master home long ago. Maybe they can really solve the current situation in our family? ?"

"One of you, one of my mother, tell me what to say." Lin Hanyang was helpless, "You women, you love to believe in ghosts and gods, how can there really be any masters in this world? Let's just say there are, but you Looking at his dejected appearance, he is still so young, can he possibly have real skills? Those famous Taoist monks and monks who are active outside, which one is not seventy or eighty?"

"But he's really accurate. At a glance, we know that our family is in trouble, and I'm not in good health!"

Lin Hanyang still insisted: "He guessed that, and you don't even think about where we went. The most famous mountain in Fengyang Mountain is the Temple of the Mountain. Who is not troubled by people who go to the temple? You are not in good health. A person with eyes can tell at a glance that he can connect two things, and at best he can only be said to be very smart. Who does not have the ability to observe subtle things if he wants to deceive people in this business?"

"But where did he cheat money? I gave him the 200 yuan before the fortune-telling!"

"This is his conscience. You are so beautiful and kind, and you helped him not be beaten by that fierce security guard. He is grateful that you couldn't bear to lie to you again."

Mrs. Lin was speechless and couldn't tell her husband. She turned her head in anger and looked out the window.

There are not many cars on the road in the small city, only a few cars, the scenery outside the window flies by, and a large truck loaded with wood rumbles over from the right lane.

Seeing the height of the pile of wood, Mrs. Lin immediately sighed: "It must be overloaded. These people really don't take their own safety seriously."

The driver skilfully avoided the big car and let the other side drive ahead. Lin Hanyang knew that his wife had always been nosy and sympathetic, so he smiled helplessly. He was still thinking about the rag that his wife was holding in his hand, and reached for it: " They are also trying to make money, and we can't worry about whether others are alive or dead. Come on, if you are not in good health, don't be angry with me, and quickly throw this thing away."

Mrs. Lin refused and held on to the small piece of cloth tightly. She felt uneasy for some reason at the moment. Only by holding on to the piece of cloth seemed to make herself feel more at ease.

The couple started fighting with each other. His wife was so stubborn, and Lin Hanyang was a little angry. He was about to reprimand her for being ignorant, but at this moment, a series of earth-shattering crashing noises suddenly sounded outside the car.

Almost at the same time, the panicked shout of the driver came from the driver's seat. He subconsciously raised his head and saw the scene outside the front window in a flash of lightning, and his eyes were immediately split.

On the road ahead, the big truck that transported the wood may have been overloaded too much, and the rope binding the goods broke! Under the action of high-speed driving, the thick wood that rolled down the cargo compartment was like a terrifying torrent, smashing towards the rear with a thunderous momentum!

Their car was just behind the side and there was no way to avoid it. In an instant, Lin Hanyang clearly saw the densely packed annual rings of wood cross-section, and rushed straight to his face!

In an instant, the pores all over his body stood up, his mind was blank, but his body subconsciously threw aside, firmly protecting his wife's thin body.

However, the power that steel and iron can't resist, how can he be blocked by his mortal body

The vehicle flew out sideways out of control, Lin Hanyang hugged his wife tightly, and closed his eyes in horror and despair. Before darkness fell, he lifted weightlessly into the air, only to hear the loud noise of his vehicle being smashed through wood, and the shuddering screams of his wife and driver.

The moment he opened his eyes again, he almost thought he was just waking up from a nightmare.

However, the sobbing sound of his wife and the deformed vehicle under him told him that he had indeed escaped the fate of his life.

The car had completely rolled over, and he dazedly and instinctively untied his seat belt and hugged his wife to fumble up and down, only to find that the other party only had a bruise on the back of the seat, and he only had the dull pain from a little impact on the back.

From the front came the panicked greeting from the driver: "President Lin? President Lin? Mrs. Lin? Are you all right?"

He responded in a daze, and the driver let out a sigh of relief: "Amitabha! It's fine! It's fine! It's fine!"

He exclaimed in disbelief: "Oh my God, how is this possible? How can we still be alive?!"

Lin Hanyang knew what he was incredulous about, because the front windshield of the vehicle had been penetrated by two tree trunks. Under such a terrifying impact, even the glass with the film was shattered to the point of leaving no body left, but the two tree trunks stopped just like that, like a traveler who suddenly lost all strength.

Lin Hanyang looked at a tree trunk that was almost face to face with his own face in confusion, where the fibrous skin at the end was blooming, as if it was blocked by some indestructible material.

The wife in her arms suddenly cried out, "Ah! It's so hot!"

He froze all over, spread his arms, and saw his wife hurriedly let go and throw something into the air.

It was an old piece of cloth with some patches on the edge, and a faint flame burned from its irregular edge out of thin air, engulfing it into a speck of dust in an instant.

The dust slapped on his face, as light as nothing, but it made Lin Hanyang sturdy.

The young driver, who had not recovered from the luck of escaping, saw his boss climb out of the car with his hands and feet and use the ground to protect his wife in the next second. The boss's eyes were straight, as if he had been drinking dichlorvos, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Go find the car! Let's go back to Fengyang Mountain! Go back to the master just now! Come on!"

The driver's mind was still numb at the moment, and when he heard the words, he was suddenly confused. what master? Didn't you tell the boss just now that he was a liar

A man's heart is really a needle at the bottom of the sea.

At this moment, Wei Xi had already walked along the flow of people to the small town at the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, he saw countless mounts that were exactly the same as those driven by Mrs. Lin.

These mounts have different shapes. The smallest has only two round feet, which can only be used by the owner. The larger one is like a hill, and it can carry dozens of people. Putting it together with such a mount, Mrs. Lin's side is obviously not enough to look at. I think it is because the couple's strength is limited and they are not qualified to keep more ferocious prey in captivity.

However, this prey is not very tasty, and Fei Yakou has no taste at all, so Wei Xi is not very interested in these beasts after he finds that these beasts don't seem to be actively attacking him.

He was dressed in fancy clothes and carried his big bamboo basket on his back, and received countless eyes along the way. In order to avoid the crowd, he chose a remote road along the river.

He was carefully observing the surrounding scenery the whole time, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. The buildings here are so high that they have never been seen before, the roads are flat and tidy, and the flowers, plants and trees on both sides are in good order.

But even in the capital, he could not remember which country had such huge financial power in his memory.

The river next to him was flowing quietly, Wei Xi leaned over and took a bow, it was a little turbid, and he didn't want to drink it.

Standing up and looking up, he was surrounded by unfamiliar scenes. He was alone and had nowhere to go.

To revive the Taicang Sect, where should we start

He was at a loss when he suddenly heard a muffled sound, turned his head to look, and saw a unkempt man jumping out from under the magnificent road that crossed the river in front of him, blocking his way with a vicious expression.

The sturdy man in rags opened his hands and growled threateningly, "Boy, what's in the basket behind you?"

Wei Xi winked at him calmly.

ten minutes later.

The gang of beggars on the first bridge in Fengyang Town curled up in the corner of their bridge hole with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

He couldn't rob him, and instead was beaten by a fat man, and he could only look at the thin back in front of him who was forcibly occupying his mat.

Holding the handle, he touched the wound on his face, sobbed, and didn't dare to breathe. He took out a bag of biscuits aggrievedly. After opening it, he opened his mouth and raised his head suddenly.

The beautiful young man sitting cross-legged on the mat has turned his head at this time, staring at his hands, his eyes almost innocent.

He asked, "Is this delicious?"
