Chapter 389: Secret
As Luo Xiaobei finished speaking, the smile on Uncle Li's face began to disappear little by little, and his face became solemn.
"Can you really see the structure of this village?" Uncle Li thought about it, and seemed a little incredulous.
"Uncle Li said with a smile, since you can be called a master, if we can't see such a formation, how can we be worthy of your title of master?" Luo Xiaobei deliberately eased the atmosphere in front of him, because Uncle Li's expression began to become serious, making Luo Xiaobei believe that he must know the origin of this village, but it may not be so easy to say.
"The location of the village and the construction of the houses were indeed well thought out. For this, Uncle Li admitted, "However, it was the ancestors who spent a lot of money to invite a master who is proficient in feng shui to choose the address." In order to ensure that everything in this village is never disturbed by the outside world, so that we can live our lives with peace of mind. ”
"The ancestors chose such a path in order to escape the war and for the safety of future generations, and I don't know if there is any other reason. Uncle Li shook his head, "These things have been too long ago for us, and I really don't know what the reasons are." ”
Uncle Li's words are completely logical, there is a formation in the village because the ancestors invited a feng shui master, and they chose to be here to completely avoid the war, such an answer has no flaws, and all the guesses made by Luo Xiaobei and the three of them before are blocked.
It seems that the clue is about to be broken here, but how could Luo Xiaobei not see it?
She smiled, her tone was cold and not excessive, "Uncle Li doesn't believe us?"
Uncle Li shook his head and sighed, "I really don't know, it's about the lives of the villagers, how can I hide it? ”
"Really?" Luo Xiaobei asked rhetorically: "Since you don't want to believe it, then why does Uncle Li want to sell Guanzi again?" Having said this, Uncle Li must also know that our skills are not comparable to ordinary Taoist priests, and if we want to know something, it is only a matter of time. ”
"I will choose to ask Uncle Li, but I think that Uncle Li, as a respected veteran in the village, is definitely willing to let the villagers come back as soon as possible, and tell us these details, after all, time waits for no one, and if it is a little later, maybe everyone will not be able to come back. ”
"We do have time, but I don't know if those missing villagers have that time!" Luo Xiaobei deliberately put the last word at the end.
Luo Xiaobei's words are threatening, but the most is inducing.
From the moment Luo Xiaobei asked the question, Uncle Li's expression was strange. It's no problem to say it, it can be connected with the clues that Luo Xiaobei and the others speculated, but the more full of reasons that have no room for it, the more problematic it is.
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Xiaobei's last sentence came out, Uncle Li's expression changed again.
The atmosphere in front of him was even more silent, and Uncle Li lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Luo Xiaobei seemed to be able to hear the sound of time passing by bit by bit, but she had the patience to wait now, because she knew that the answer she wanted would be available soon.
However, because of Uncle Li's reaction now, Luo Xiaobei began to determine that Uncle Li was not the person who had a connection with Qu Yan. In other words, the Nei Ying who told Qu Yan about the method of coming in here was not Uncle Li.
And Uncle Li chose not to answer Luo Xiaobei's question at the beginning, because he knew a lot of things that villagers like Feng Qi didn't know, presumably the reason why he believed in Qu Yan so much before was because Qu Yan could enter the village from the outside and see through the village's formation.
In other words, in fact, from the beginning, Uncle Li didn't believe Qu Yan very much, so much so that he didn't believe Luo Xiaobei later either.
It was as if he had been watching the fire from the other side.
This Uncle Li is old, but his thinking is definitely not an old man. Jiang is still old and spicy, maybe in Uncle Li's opinion, Luo Xiaobei and Qu Yan's purpose is the same, and he even hopes that Luo Xiaobei and Qu Yan will fight, as long as it doesn't endanger the village, so why not treat these things in front of him as a play?
But Uncle Li himself didn't understand the reason why these villagers would disappear, and he didn't know where these disappeared villagers went.
So he actually had hope for Luo Xiaobei, hoping to find the missing villagers, but he didn't want Luo Xiaobei to discover more secrets about the village.
But now that Luo Xiaobei has caught up with the door and asked, Uncle Li is still hesitating, is Luo Xiaobei really worth believing, and does he really want to tell Luo Xiaobei all the secrets about the village without reservation?
"Do you already have a clue about the villagers?" Uncle Li raised his head suddenly, staring at Luo Xiaobei fiercely.
The silent atmosphere was suddenly broken, and Luo Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Naturally, there is, but this clue, I guess it should be related to what you said next, so I have to wait until you say what you want to say first, and then I'll tell you!"
The smile on Luo Xiaobei's face returned again, she held the tea in her hand and took a sip.
But the words that came out made Uncle Li's hands tremble involuntarily. If the villagers' clues are related to what is said next, then ......
The village was not chosen to escape the war, but the structure of the village and the location of the tomb group are indeed the work of Feng Shui masters, or rather, long ago, the people of the village were considered descendants of Taoism.
They should have mastered everything related to the Dao from an early age, but this inheritance was deliberately cut off by the family ancestors.
This practice has led to the fact that the village is now inhabited by ordinary people, who do not know that their ancestors used to be able to pinch their fingers to tell fortunes, and they only know that they will come here to escape the war.
Uncle Li would know this because he was the one who was responsible for cleaning and taking care of the ancestral hall.
Yes, in this small village, there is also an ancestral hall. It's just that this ancestral hall is not open, so that no one in this village except Uncle Li knows that the so-called ancestors set up an ancestral hall to escape the war.
And the people who clean and take care of the ancestral hall this time must be carefully selected by each generation. It is equivalent to the type of master and apprentice in a sense, but this is just a succession, and there is no such thing as teaching any Taoism.
In addition to the spirit cards placed by the ancestors, there are also the spirit cards of the ancestors who came here at the beginning, and those books related to the Tao are all locked in the ancestral hall, along with the secrets of the ancestors who came here.
