Chapter 105 The Three Sects of Ghost Road
Hexi Town is not far from Changlong Town.
About five hours later, three people and one dog arrived at Hexi Town.
When we arrived at the center of Hexi Town, it was already past four in the afternoon.
Although it was almost evening, people were still coming and going on the street, as if they were visiting a market.
Hexi Town is a town with a large population, with more than twice as many people as Changlong Town.
So it's not surprising that there are so many people on the street at this moment.
But what is puzzling is that with such a large population, Hexi Town should have a particularly prosperous economy.
But looking at it, it is all made of wood, which looks a bit primitive and old.
With such a large population, why can’t Hexi Town’s economy develop?
The private houses here are very different from those in Changlong Town.
Even if the houses in Changlong Town are not buildings, they are still brick houses.
But here in Hexi Town, there are still old-fashioned wooden houses.
It’s hard to imagine that there is such a big difference between Changlong Town and Hexi Town, just five hours away.
Da Fei looked out the window, probably thinking of this, turned around and said to us:
"Why is Hexi Town so poor? I thought Changlong Town was poor enough, but I didn't expect that Hexi Town is even poorer than our Changlong Town!"
I agreed and nodded in agreement.
Fang Taihe and Dahei were sitting in the back seat.
After hearing what we said, he snorted coldly and said:
"Two young boys don't understand anything, so they just talk nonsense!"
Hearing this, Da Fei and I were both stunned.
I don't understand what Fang Taihe means by this.
I asked curiously:
"Uncle Fang, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that Hexi Town did this on purpose?"
Fang Taihe said "hmm" and said:
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that nine out of ten people here in Hexi Town are all practicing ghost ways.
They are particular about using wooden houses."
I was stunned for a moment, wondering why I was getting involved with Ghost Road again.
But Wei Zhonglai is also a ghost practitioner, so why is his house made of bricks and tiles?
Fang Taihe expressed the doubts in his heart.
Fang Taihe touched Dahei's head and said:
"You are not stupid if you can discover this.
Ghost Tao is not actually a specialized Taoist sect, but a general term for evil heretics.
Generally speaking, ghosts are divided into three factions.
One sect is a Taoist sect that sucks little ghosts and raises little ghosts, which is called the ghost sect.
One sect is a Taoist sect that mainly focuses on raising gu, which is called the gu sect.
There is another type, which is different from the other two sects. They are not humans at all, but animals in the mountains who have turned into elves. This type is called the Elf sect."
I suddenly understood and nodded.
Unexpectedly, a ghost channel can be divided into three factions.
Fang Taihe lit a cigarette and continued:
"Tao is divided into the righteous way and the ghost way.
The righteous way is what you usually call the Maoshan sect, Banshan sect, etc. Although there are many sects of the righteous way, they are all united as one.
As for Ghost Road, although there are few factions, they are the least united.
As the saying goes, gentlemen are harmonious but different; villains are harmonious but not harmonious.
Although those who practice ghost ways, their ultimate goal is to harm others in order to improve themselves.
But these guys are all fighting over who is the authentic ghost master.
He is simply a villain!”
At this time, Da Fei asked from the side:
"Master Fang, didn't you say that the people in Hexi Town also practice ghost ways?
Then which sect do they practice?"
Hearing this, Fang Taihe sighed and said:
"Gu faction!"
The Gu faction is to raise Gu.
In Mr. Jin Yong's famous work "Eternal Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", it is mentioned that women from the Miao border will not betray themselves for the sake of their husbands.
He would secretly feed the opponent golden silkworm Gu.
Once the other party breaks the oath, the golden silkworm Gu will take effect.
At that time, life will be worse than death, and the intestines will be pierced and the belly will be rotten.
I told Da Fei and Fang Tianhe what I knew.
Fang Taihe nodded and agreed.
Da Fei, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said "Huh", cast an admiring look at me, and said:
"Ah, Gao Xing, you actually know so much?"
I sighed helplessly and said:
"I usually ask you to read more books and read more books, but you always don't listen.
Haven't you heard this famous saying: 'He who hears the Tao in the morning will die in the evening.'
It means that if you learn knowledge in the morning, it will be worth it even if you die at night.
You should also learn more knowledge and enrich your idiot brain."
Da Fei was very dissatisfied when he saw me ridiculing him and said angrily:
"You're in trouble now. I said you're fat and you're still breathing heavily! I forgot that when I was in school, you often copied my homework!"
It's okay if Da Fei doesn't mention it, but I get angry when I mention it.
At that time, I was simply too naive. If I didn't copy anyone's homework, I had to copy Da Fei's.
Every time, we are among the bottom one or two in the class.
She rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, asked Fang Taihe, and said:
"Uncle Fang, how can we tell whether this family is raising gu?"
Fang Taihe looked out the window and said:
“Look at the structure of their house and how clean it is!”
When Da Fei and I heard this, we were stunned again and asked what it meant.
Fang Taihe continued:
"Gu insects don't like brick houses, they only like wooden huts.
If the poisonous insects are kept in a brick building or a reinforced concrete house, the poisonous insects will die within three days.
This is one of them.
Second, look at the cleanliness of his home.
Gu insects like to be clean very much and can be said to have quite severe mysophobia.
Therefore, the home where Gu is raised is spotless, not even a spider web or a planet of Saturn can be seen.
Of course, there are no spider webs because spiders don’t dare to settle here at all, after all, Gu insects eat their own kind!”
I nodded in realization and looked outside the car window.
If you look around, they are all wooden buildings.
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Is this saying that these people are all cultivators?
The master Chang Ye mentioned lives in Hexi Town.
Fang Taihe helped me find out that there are three experts in Hexi Town.
Does that mean that the expert who can help me solve the Meizhuang matter is also a member of the Ghost Dao Gu sect?
Sensing the change in my mood, Fang Taihe added again:
"Although the houses in Hexi Town are all wooden buildings, not all of them are Gu sect practitioners.
After all, do as the Romans do, the neighbors around you are all made of wood, but your family only has a brick house, which seems a bit nondescript."
Seeing Fang Taihe say this, I felt a little relieved.
My heart says that this master must not be a member of the ghost world.
The arrival of Wei Zhong is enough to give me a big headache.
At that time, this guy just gave me a bronze mirror and almost sent me to report.
If there were another person who practiced ghost ways, would I still be alive?!
