Yun Dingxiang was just a young man who remembered what happened back then. He could remember as much as he could and could find out everything he could with a big smile. So although he told a lot about what happened back then, there were not many truly valuable clues.
Then he talked about the history of Nanzhao Kingdom. What he meant was that it was precisely because of the rise and fall of Nanzhao Kingdom that the location of Heiyun Village was not static. This explained why we first met
The reason why the ancient tombs we arrived are on the outskirts of Heiyun Village, and the current core area of ​​Heiyun Village is located near Dagushan.
Furthermore, the existence of this Wuman tribe led to the blending of the Han civilization inherited by Heiyun Village and the ancient civilization of Nanzhao, precipitating the unique Heiyun Village we see today. Heiyun Village has both the Central Plains civilization and
It is the epitome of the ethnic minority areas, and there are traces of the secluded and backward customs in minority areas, especially their characteristics of raising voodoos and monsters, which adds to the mystery.
Unknowingly, half an hour had passed. Yun Dingxiang finally said what he had been holding back for a long time. As the saying goes, he looked excited, his hands were trembling slightly, and he was still in excitement.
Yu'er stayed by his side, constantly rubbing her head against her master, as if trying to appease his mood.
Tenzin was plotted and poisoned, and he was hanging with only half a breath left. He leaned under the big tree, half asleep and asked where we were now. I told him to carry those three damn boxes in a while.
Go up there and take it to the designated place, and the matter will be settled.
Tenzin was very excited. He coughed for a long time and spit out a mouthful of thick blood. Then he spoke: "I will definitely repay you for your great kindness when I have the opportunity. Cough cough cough. Cough cough. The old man just now,
It seems familiar...he...who is he?"
"You should have seen this person, Shuizhai Teahouse..." I guided.
"Oh! I remembered it!"
"You kid has been poisoned."
"Master! What on earth do you think is the poison on my body?"
"Your poison was caused by the small fish in the village. Ahem, it seems that the person who ordered you to come is still an old friend."
"What's the meaning?"
"I'm from Heiyun Village, so it's not surprising that I can recognize Gu creatures."
"Old sir, please save my life."
"It doesn't matter whether I can save you or not. After all, I don't know how to cure this poison."
"this……"
"Forget it, forget it. Time is running out, so we have to act quickly."
Tenzin nodded repeatedly and waved for us to go quickly.
After struggling for nearly half an hour, the distant mountains had already revealed a slight glow.
I looked at my watch and said, "It's broken. There are still about twenty minutes left. Let's hurry up."
Yun Dingxiang said unhurriedly, "There is still half of the story I just told. The ancestral hall on the mountain is long gone."
I was dumbfounded. I didn't expect such a fatal joke to happen at this last moment.
"Old man, don't scare me. What's going on?"
"The madman's village has disappeared long ago. Where can I find an ancestral hall for him now?"
"The more I listened, the more confused I became." As soon as I heard this, my expression suddenly changed.
"Come here, I have something to tell you." Yun Dingxiang asked me to help him go to the cargo box. I didn't know what the old man's intention was, but I still did it.
Yun Dingxiang walked tremblingly to the edge of the cargo box, holding his knees with one hand and hanging his hand on the oilcloth wrapping the box. After groping for a while, he asked me what the box looked like.
"It was dismantled once before. I don't know if it looks the same as the others. I remember that it was a wooden box with black paint on the mouth. The material was quite strong and the mouth of the box was sealed with steel nails. Let me give you more details.
I'm not sure either
Chu."
Yun Dingxiang asked eagerly: "Are there any fish? Are there any small fish?"
"There are, there are, sealed fish made of wax..."
"That's it, that's it." Yun Dingxiang's throat rolled up and down for a while. He grabbed me, quite excited, "Come on, follow me. We've caught him, we have to catch him."
"Old man, what's going on? You haven't told half of the story yet!"
"We'll talk about it later!"
I was confused by Yun Dingxiang's crazy words. Ren Yonghai and Xu Yaxian were also confused. Everyone stared at each other, not understanding what he was talking about.
"We don't have time, push the cart! Follow me, and I'll explain on the way." Yun Dingxiang stamped his foot and made a "go" gesture.
I understood that there must be a shocking secret in this, so I suppressed my doubts, pushed the car together, and followed Yun Dingxiang up the mountain.
Jianba couldn't help but muttered: "This bad old man can't see me. He's running ahead alone. What if we take him the wrong way?"
Yun Dingxiang didn't seem to hear him, but still strode forward.
"Why do I feel that this is not very reliable?" Ciwang lowered his voice and said to me, "We are following a bad old man with a history of mental illness wandering around the mountains and plains. If something goes wrong...
"
"What else can I do if I don't follow him?" I shook my head, feeling helpless, "I just wondered. You guys can tell me, which blind asshole would come up with such a bad idea to torment people. Ah, the village
There is nothing left, but you are still delivering goods to the ancestral hall. Isn’t this a ghost?”
"But I think the old man seems to be confident. Does he know some hidden secrets? The story just now is clearly only half of the story. We still don't know how the crazy village disappeared." Ren Yonghai said.
"Yes." After being answered by Ren Yonghai, I remembered an important question.
The story Yun Dingxiang told me was all about what happened to the God Team that night. He didn’t talk about the Madman Village at all. In other words, he didn’t tell me why the Madman Village became what it is today.
so.
"Although he has figured out where the lunatic village came from, according to him, this place is nothing more than an extremely cruel 'nursing home'. Why is there no one left now? Why don't all the elderly die collectively?"
." The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. "This old and crooked guy was almost fooled by him."
I handed the car to Ren Yonghai, chased after him, brewed my feelings for a while, and then asked Yun Dingxiang, "We haven't finished talking just now, what happened next?"
After all, Yun Dingxiang is getting older, so he is inevitably panting as he walks faster. I reached out to help him, but he blocked me with his backhand: "It's okay, let's not stop. We'll be there if we walk for a while. I knew it was him."
He is causing trouble behind his back, and he will never succeed this time."
"Who? Are there other survivors in the Madman Village?"
"You really want to know?"
"This is not nonsense."
"It's not that I won't say it, but I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't believe it."
"Aren't there enough weird things these days? Now that you know what I do, what other weird things are there in the world that I can't believe?"
Yun Dingxiang pondered for a while and stretched out his hand. I hurriedly stepped forward to hold it. He cleared his throat and said: "I was hesitant about Yun Ding'e's rescue. After all, the scene at that time was witnessed by everyone.
It's definitely not something this kid can do on his own."
"so what?"
"But it was just a question without any basis. After that, I left the remaining three people in the ancestral hall and ordered them to lock the door. After dawn, we would find a ferry back to the village. Then I carried the boat with Yun Ding'e
We took the rice bag master and Xiaoya back to the village. It was already midnight, and the noisy and chaotic sounds resounded throughout the village. Before we entered the village, torches were lit inside, which immediately attracted the village soldiers. Then
At that time, there were ferocious dogs like Yu'er all over the village. Every household had one or more dogs. Among the village soldiers, the dogs were the most ferocious and could eat half a cow's head in one bite. I was afraid of them.
I let the dogs hurt people, so I had to park the boat on the lake, and then shouted to the soldiers. The other party didn't believe what I said at first. Everyone knew that today was a big day, so Wu went to Dagushan early with the offerings.
I won’t be back until tomorrow. I was so anxious that I had to pick out the leader on the spot and beat him up. When I finally figured out my identity, it was almost dawn.”
"Everyone hurriedly carried Master Mibao and Xiaoya into the village. Xiaoya's master was called Sanniang. She was a witch from the previous generation. When she saw her apprentice coming back at this time, she knew something was wrong. She called for people to carry Xiaoya into the village.
After leaving the house, he summoned Yun Ding'e and I alone to a secluded place to ask about the whole story."
"Sanniang said that the sacrifice matter is related to the prosperity of the entire Heiyun Village, and if it is not handled well, there will be big trouble, so she ordered Yun Ding'e to return to Dagushan immediately and bring back the soul-suppressing pagoda and other people in the divine team.
.To prevent any unexpected events, we sent a group of village soldiers to accompany him."
"Why don't you go?"
Yun Dingxiang shook his head and said, "If I'm not taking the blame for that boy Yun Ding'e, I didn't know the crime was so big."
"Is it possible that there is another hidden reason behind your being condemned by the clan?"
Yun Dingxiang nodded and said: "When Yun Ding'e and his people finally rushed back to the ancestral hall on Dagu Mountain, they found that the door of the ancestral hall was wide open, the tablets were broken all over the ground, and there was no one in the house, let alone the town.
Soul Pagoda." When Yun Dingxiang heard this, he almost fainted. He couldn't believe that in just four or five hours, everything had changed beyond recognition.
"I knew I was in big trouble this time, so I had someone tie me up and go to the clan leader myself to apologize. From then on, the way everyone looked at me changed, and the older ones called me Sangmenxing
, some people even proposed that I should be used to worship my ancestors to vent their anger. In short, everything changed overnight... changed."
"I see. So, you have fallen to this point not only because you took the blame for Yun Ding'e, but more importantly, because the soul-suppressing pagoda was lost?"
At this point, Yun Dingxiang suddenly stopped. I was listening intently, and I didn't know why he stopped.
Yun Dingxiang sniffed and asked me, "Have you seen the hillside in front of you?"
I looked into the distance and saw that there was indeed a steep slope at the end of the forest about a hundred meters away from us.
"The ancestral hall is right there. Our road is almost at the end. Don't be surprised when you see it later. I didn't lie to you."
I thought to myself that it was just an ancestral hall, what was there to make such a big fuss about, why did it involve cheating or not? He got to the point, and we naturally understood, and it was inconvenient for me to ask more questions, as it seemed like I had no depth.
At this time, the first ray of light in the morning had already passed over the mountain. I called on everyone to work harder and deliver the things before sunrise.
Soon we climbed to the top of the peak. We originally thought that this mysterious Heiyunzhai ancestral hall would be an ancient building, but when we got there, it was my turn to be dumbfounded, "Is this an ancestral hall?"
I looked around and found that this was just a cave. There were indeed traces of human activities in the cave. There were holes cut into the dark walls, and there were still traces of burning wax oil inside.
"What kind of crappy place is this?"
Yun Dingxiang said: "It seems that if I don't explain clearly what happened back then, you won't understand."
Chapter completed!
