Creation of the Universe
Chapter 208: Mysterious words confuse the public
According to the innkeeper, the so-called messenger of the God of Man came to the town and spread rumors to confuse the people, saying that the whole town was full of evil spirits and would soon be met with bloody disasters.
At first, the people in the town just thought he was a charlatan and no one took him seriously. However, the messenger did not argue with them, but just said that he would come to the town again in a month, and the outcome would be clear then.
The second time he came was a few days ago. The difference from the last time was that he easily gained the respect and worship of the townspeople, because in the past month, one person died in the town every day!
Everyone's cause of death was inexplicable and varied. Some had just gotten married during the day and committed suicide at home that night. Some accidentally fell to death after a fight. Some died quietly while sleeping on the roadside after getting drunk. There was even one who went to the toilet in the middle of the night and was scared to death by a black cat that suddenly jumped out!
In short, ever since the messenger of the Man God came to the town, it has lost its former peace and tranquility. Every morning people have to face a dead body and then wait for the next morning in fear.
No one knows when misfortune will befall him, maybe tomorrow.
Shen Yunli couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this: "How could such a thing happen? Could it be that what the messenger said was true?"
Zhu Xiuyuan chuckled, his eyes filled with affection as he explained, "Li'er, you're oversimplifying things. Although I don't know exactly what methods the other party used, if I want to make a group of people fear me, then I must first make them suffer, and this suffering must be terrible and thorough enough.
Death is the biggest fear in everyone’s heart.”
Zhu Xiuyuan's words hit the nail on the head. He thought the same as Shen Zhan did: the sudden death in the town must be closely related to the messenger.
Shen Yunli exclaimed, "To achieve his goal, he would actually kill so many people who had nothing to do with him? How despicable!"
The Chu sisters sitting next to her also showed indignant expressions. Sure enough, this trip from the East China Sea to the world of martial arts had broadened their horizons and given them a deeper understanding of the world and human nature.
"Dear gentlemen, ladies, heroes, and good men!"
"Please save me! The messenger in red said I won't survive tomorrow. If you don't help me, I will definitely die!
I have an elderly mother at home to take care of, I can't die!"
The guy's emotions completely broke down. Is there anything more terrifying in this world than waiting for one's own death?
At least for ordinary people like the innkeeper, tonight was like a purgatory of torture, with life and death hanging by a thread.
"Brother, let's think of a solution?"
When Meng Zhong heard what the Man Shen Sect had done, he felt very unhappy. He could not help but intervene in this matter and wanted to fight with those Man Shen Sect members immediately.
Everyone present also looked at Shen Zhan, who concentrated on thinking before speaking, "It seems that I am destined to not be able to rest well tonight.
I will be responsible for protecting this guy and making sure he can see the sun tomorrow. Li'er has special predictive abilities. Although it is not clear what is going on yet, it will be helpful if she stays with me.
"As for Han Fei, Meng Zhong, you should keep a close eye on him. Don't let something like that happen again, otherwise it will only make things worse.
And Ruxuan and Rumeng, you two have just started practicing, so I won't let you do anything too dangerous. Just stay in your rooms tonight and act accordingly."
Shen Zhan made arrangements quickly, but he did not make any demands on Zhu Xiuyuan. After all, this man had an unruly temperament and did not get along well with him, so he let him make the decision on his own.
Zhu Xiuyuan said, "Wherever my disciple is, there I will be. It just so happens that I will teach you the specific methods of using the Daluo Cave Observation. Perhaps this, combined with the abilities you have realized, can achieve unexpected results."
So everyone quickly reached a consensus and went into the three rooms in the courtyard, waiting for the night to fall, and the atmosphere changed accordingly.
The innkeeper heard that his waiter had gotten into trouble, so he brought a few people over to question him. Shen Zhan pushed open the door and said, "Interesting. You weren't there when this happened, so why are you here now?"
"Sir, I know you are new here and don't know the rules of our town, but I still advise you not to meddle in other people's business at this time.
Erhu has provoked the messenger of the Manshen Cult. He is definitely going to be in trouble. I must kick him out of the inn today. Otherwise, if Lord Manshen gets angry at us, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
Although the innkeeper looks honest and kind, his words are actually very cold and inhumane.
This fellow named Erhu has worked in his inn for quite a long time. When something happened today, instead of trying to help him, he started to coax him to leave. This is really too unkind.
Shen Zhan said in a deep voice: "Boss, this is your own guy. You can't just throw him away like a cat or a dog. That's not how you behave."
"Sir, I'm not here to argue with you. Don't worry about what's going on in town. I have the final say on matters concerning my inn. Otherwise, just leave with Erhu. You're not welcome here!"
The innkeeper waved his hand and instructed several strong men to drive Shen Zhan and the others away. At this time, Zhu Xiuyuan walked out of the house.
He sneered and said, "You cowards, you bully the weak and fear the strong, you are the worst kind! Although I look down on your inn, if you are like this, then I will stay here. What can you do to me?"
Zhu Xiuyuan flicked his sleeves, and the men brought by the innkeeper flew backwards like willow catkins.
"If you dare to say anything more, I'll throw you into that dead river and make you the one who will die tomorrow morning!"
The innkeeper saw the trick Zhu Xiuyuan had just used, and knew that he must be a mysterious person in the martial arts world. So he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly ran away with his head down.
"There's no point in reasoning with people like this. We have to use some tough tactics to make them understand that we're not easy to mess with!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Erhu, a waiter, was heard from the room. He had been sitting upright in his seat, but without any warning, he suddenly stood up and let out a painful roar.
"what!!!"
"It hurts so much, my head is going to explode!"
Erhu kept hitting his head with his hands, looking like a madman, which was shocking.
