Chapter 202: Key Person: Shui Qiu
"Is there something uncomfortable?" Seeing that he was silent, Wen Lang said with concern, "Why don't we go back, if Brother Zhang knows that I am running around with you, I guess he will be chattering about me again!"
Bai Xiu laughed for a while: "It's me who has troubled you......"
He looked up at the tall ancestral hall and changed the topic without a trace: "It's all here, let's go and see, otherwise we will be scolded, and we won't look strange, it's really a loss." ”
Wen Lang nodded again and again: "That's what I think!"
The two climbed the stairs, only counted to one hundred and ninety-nine steps, and the gorgeous and quaint archway was already standing in front of them.
Bai Xiu raised his eyes and saw that there was a square in front of the ancestral hall, which seemed to be used for sacrifice, and in the center of the square was a figure sculpture.
He was stunned, he always felt that this person was a little familiar, but when he asked him to study it carefully, he couldn't say why.
Wen Lang thought he was surprised by the position of the sculpture, and explained: "This is the mortal appearance of the founder of Qinghong, and there is his real body in the treasure hall." ”
Bai Xiu came back to his senses and nodded slightly, he just wanted to cross the square with her, when someone suddenly said behind him: "Two." ”
He looked back and saw that there was a person standing there at some point, this person was wearing a Taoist robe, fifty or sixty years old, kind and kind, but also a bit of fairy wind bones.
He pointed to a thatched hut in the third-floor field, and said to Bai Xiu: "Young man, I see that you fit your eyes very well, why don't you go to my house and sit down." ”
"Old man, is there anything you can't say here?" Wen Lang immediately showed her pungent personality, "We finally climbed up, and you asked us to go down, how can there be such a reason." ”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "People want to go forward because there is something in front of them that attracts him, if there is a dead end in front, is it necessary to go?"
"If you haven't walked it, how do you know that there must be a dead end ahead?" Wen Lang was puzzled, "Even if it's a dead end, can't you work hard to make it a living road?"
The old man was still smiling: "What if it's a dead end?"
Wen Lang stuck out his tongue: "There's really no way, it's a big deal to turn back." ”
The old man asked her inscrutablely, "Nizi, what if that is a dead end from which there is no turning back?"
Wen Lang didn't bother to talk to him about theories, so he pulled Bai Xiu: "Let's go quickly, go back late, Brother Zhang will scold people." ”
Bai Xiu nodded, and was about to leave, when the old man said in a cold voice: "Young man, you haven't answered yet." ”
Bai Xiu paused for a moment and thought: "I won't choose a dead end at the beginning, if there is a dead end in front of me, it actually means that I have no way to retreat, and I can only go forward." ”
The old man smiled strangely: "It's really the same as he said......"
Seeing that the two of them looked puzzled, the look on his face returned to his previous kindness: "Young man, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember what you said today." ”
He nodded and drifted away.
Wen Lang couldn't help muttering: "What a weird old man......"
When the two came to the door of the ancestral hall, Wen Lang's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the door was closed, he was a little disappointed: "Why is it locked?" Didn't Shui Qiu say that the ancestral hall is not closed all year round, and it is for the people of Dizhuang to worship?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man appeared on the side.
He smiled: "Little girl, you are a foreigner, you may not know that we have a sacrifice during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Dizhuang, specifically to commemorate the founder of Qinghong, so we have been preparing behind closed doors for the past two days!"
Bai Xiu knew in his heart that the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice ceremony in Dizhuang was estimated to be the same as the Zhongyuan Festival in Hongmeng Town, in addition to the meaning of the sacrifice itself, it was also a ceremony for the beginning of some kind of activity.
It's no wonder that Zhang Tianshou said that the Tomb is only opened once a year, and it is no wonder that people who left Dizhuang twenty years ago think that the loss of the Yin Core is a self-theft by the guardians, because no one else has the opportunity to touch it.
In fact, in addition to the guards, there is also a possibility that the person who pretended to be him before, and used illusion to disguise himself as one of the inspectors, and entered the Spirit Pagoda in his place.
Twenty years ago, illusion, Bai Xiu suddenly thought of one person, that is, Fang Chunjun, the current head of the Fang family.
Fake Zhang Tianshou also said that the Fang family was willing to be breeders because of their idea of building towers.
Now that all the clues point to the two cores of yin and yang, can it be speculated that the Fang family is actually fighting their idea?
Of course, questions also arise, if Fang Chunjun has already obtained the Yin Core, why do he still want to be a breeder, it is not to protect Siyantan Village.
There is only one possibility, he is not willing to only seize the yin nucleus, in order to avoid the lack of yang nucleus nourishment and abolition, so he directed a play, the purpose is to delay time, so that he can get the yang nucleus many years later.
This means that Zhang Tianshou belongs to the Fang family, at least he is now on the side of the Fang family.
What Bai Xiu wants to figure out now is whether the two cores of yin and yang have anything to do with the Heaven of Death, if so, it means that the truth is not as Ming Xue Chu said before, in fact, the role played by Chunjun twenty years ago is much more complicated than everyone knows.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Lang nodded excitedly: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, just so we can see and learn!"
The man flattered: "I heard that the three are new members, but I didn't expect that they would be able to enter the tower to inspect when they first came, and they will definitely have a bright future in the future!
New members......
Bai Xiu didn't know what means Zhang Tianshou used, but he successfully persuaded the management of Dizhuang to let them join, and even agreed to let them enter the tower.
He only had a vague feeling that things were already developing according to the speculation he had just made.
Back then, Fang Chunjun was able to successfully mix into Dizhuang, and if Zhang Tianshou's Fang family could naturally do it.
As he spoke, there were several more people around, and when they saw that the door was closed, they were as puzzled as Bai Xiu and the others, it seemed that they were also newcomers.
Yu Yong didn't pay attention to them, and looked up at the sky: "This autumn tiger is also hot, why don't you two go to my house and sit?"
"I don't know what day it is today, it's just a treat!" Wen Lang sneered, "Brother Bai Xiu, I think we're not welcome, I'm thirsty after walking for so long." ”
Bai Xiu was trying to find someone to inquire, but when he was really sleepy, someone sent him a pillow, so he also arched his hand: "It's troublesome for big brother." ”
"No trouble, no trouble!" Yu Yong said these flattering words as he led the two of them down.
Bai Xiu didn't expect that the inspector was still a scarce position, and it was a performance close to the inner circle, which made him even more curious about how Zhang Tianshou and Dizhuang tacitly reached an agreement.
Yu Yong's home is located at the very edge of the second floor, which seems to show his awkward position in Dizhuang.
He led the two into the courtyard, then gave up his seat, served tea and poured water, and finally sat down, chattering about the various customs of Dizhuang.
In the end, he concluded: "People here like to do things like Shinto, it's not interesting, it's not interesting!"
Bai Xiu mentioned quietly: "Yesterday I saw someone performing with drought ghosts, which was quite interesting." ”
"That's ......" Yu Yu shook his head again and again, "It's just that the young people are interested and joking, the people of Dizhuang don't believe in any drought, they only worship the founder of Qinghong!"
Hearing a lot of complaints in his words, Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he smiled apologetically: "There is a saying that I don't know if I should say it in charge, Brother Yu, you are so different from other people's ideas, it may be better to leave." ”
Yu Yi's eyes rolled, and he immediately said: "What can a person like me do when he goes out, it's better to eat here and wait for death." ”
Even Wen Lang could see that his words were insincere: "Uncle Yu, do you have something unspeakable?"
Yu Yong sighed: "I'm also afraid of making you laugh when I say it...... Alas, in fact, I stayed to find out one thing, the tower is overflowing, is there something wrong with the tower itself, or someone is playing tricks. ”
Bai Xiu was a little strange, listening to Yu Yu's words, he didn't seem to know the truth, but he seemed to be aware of it, so he asked him: "Brother Yu, how do you say this?"
Yu Yong waved his hand, walked to the door and looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he closed the door and walked back quickly.
As soon as he sat down, he lowered his voice and said, "I tell you, there are people in the tower!"
"Someone?" Bai Xiu began to wonder, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "You mean that there are people living in that tower?"
Yu Yong nodded hurriedly: "I think I was also a tower patrol back then, young and promising, and the scenery was unique, just because I saw that woman in the tower at that time, and told the captain, they removed me." ”
Wen Lang couldn't help but say: "What kind of tower is that, why are there girls in it, are they imprisoned inside?"
Apparently she had Siyantan Village in mind.
Yu Yong shook his head fiercely: "She is by no means trapped in the tower, but like the guardian of the tower, because when I saw her at that time, she also spoke to me, she said, 'In the land of the gods, the trespasser is dead. ’”
Bai Xiu frowned: "Didn't anyone find her before, why were you the only one who was removed from your name?"
"Don't tell me, I really bumped into her. Yu Yong was also a little helpless, "At that time, I remember that at that time, Shui Qiu's father secretly took him into the tower to pray for blessings, but he was very playful, and he didn't know where to go."
At that time, I was friendly with his father, so I secretly went to look for him, and somehow went to a place I had never seen before, and then I saw her.
Alas, speaking of which, when Lao Shui left Dizhuang, he was also upset for me, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would be able to stay here......"
Water Autumn!
Bai Xiu didn't know how many times he had heard this name today, and it seemed that it was indeed necessary for him to visit this Shui Qiu.
Thinking about it, he deliberately glanced at Wen Lang: "I heard people talk about it before, and he stayed alone in the Shuiqiu family, thinking that he was not very old at that time, and it was hard for him to live alone." ”
Wen Lang blinked: "That's right, looking at his house in tatters, he also said that it was very beautiful, it's really strange and pitiful!"
Yu Yong touched the tip of his nose and nodded: "This kid is good anywhere, he just likes to talk nonsense, what kind of drought ghost is he made trouble, and he often takes his partners to play those tricks to exorcise ghosts, it is estimated that he was scared when he entered the tower......"
It's him—
Bai Xiu naturally remembered the person last night, and became more and more curious, could this Shui Qiu really know any secrets?
