Chapter 12 Bamboo Forest
Changsheng is in dire need of a place to practice now. The room in the house was too small to be opened, and in the courtyard, Changsheng didn't dare to let her grandmother know that she knew martial arts. So she needed a secret place.
"Grandma, I'm out looking for beauty to play!" One day after lunch, Changsheng said to Grandma Chen. The hidden place can only be deep in the mountains. But she couldn't tell her grandmother that she was going to the mountains, and she wouldn't allow it. There is no way, but to use beauty as a guise.
"Go ahead, play for a while and come back, don't get tired! Don't go to dangerous places! Especially the bamboo forest behind the mountain! Also, you can't go down to the lake, you know! Every time she goes out, Grandma Chen will explain solemnly.
"Got it! Promise not to go to the bamboo forest or to the lake! Changsheng also replied seriously. No way, if the attitude is not correct, you will not be allowed to go out! Changsheng has suffered perfunctory losses.
In fact, she is very curious about the legendary bamboo forest! It was a forbidden place in the village!
Legend has it that none of the people who have ever entered the bamboo forest have ever come out! On the big stone tablet at the entrance of the General's Temple, every name engraved is not a hero, but an unlucky ghost who will never return!
The monument erected by the predecessors is to warn future generations.
Immortal life counted, a full hundred and thirty-eight! This is saved by successive dynasties, only the number of missing people in the General Temple. The names of missing people from other villages are not engraved on stone tablets.
One hundred and thirty-eight! I don't know if there is a monument before it is erected. At first, there were people who accidentally got lost and walked in, and later there were people who didn't believe in evil and deliberately walked in, and there were people who didn't want to live and walked in by themselves. I heard that there was a great famine a few decades ago, and some people really had no choice but to go in and dig bamboo shoots, and they originally planned to be around, but they didn't come out.
In short, no matter how it starts, the ending is the same! Gone!
However, in recent decades, no one has entered the bamboo forest anymore. Even if you go in, you won't be a person in the General's Temple.
The villagers also thought about destroying this bamboo forest to prevent future troubles! It's not okay to set fire to the mountain, 100,000 mountains, where is there a border? If you're not careful, they'll all burn out, so don't live!
Then there is only one way to cut bamboo! However, there are more than a dozen distinctive blood-red names on the stele to warn future generations that those are all people who try to cut bamboo in vain!
There is a legend in the village that more than 200 years ago, the grandson of the village chief was young and vigorous, did not believe in evil, and organized more than a dozen villagers to cut down this bamboo forest to see what secrets were inside!
A dozen of them, tied to their waists with the same long hemp rope, cut the same piece of bamboo together, so as to prevent them from getting lost, and the whole village watched them from the entrance. But where is there a straight line on the mountain? They slash and slash and always turn and go deep until the villagers can't see it, and then they really can't see it......
Said to come out before dark, no, not the next day or the third day! The anxious village chief mobilized the villagers to go in to find him, but who dared! In the end, the village chief went in person, but he didn't come out either!
Since then, the villagers have to kowtow to the bamboo forest from afar during the New Year's Festival, who dares to mention the matter of cutting bamboo!
More than ten years ago, the village even found two people to guard the mountain and guard the entrance of the bamboo forest. In order to prevent children who are overly curious and outsiders who do not know the truth from entering.
If you want to talk about outsiders, there are really not many. The General's Temple already belongs to the deep mountains and old forests, and there are 100,000 mountains behind it, and I don't know where the next village is. There are also two mountains in the nearest village in front, which is Yaojia Village.
It can be said that there is only the General's Temple directly bordering the bamboo forest, and it is only separated by a mountain.
In the early years, the transportation was inconvenient, and the General Temple could not see a single outsider for several years. But the life of people outside the mountains is getting better and better, and more and more people come to this poor mountain and bad water to travel! Because the poorer the mountains and rivers, the more inconvenient the place, the better the scenery!
More than 10 years ago, a few tourists came, and the villagers warmly received them and kindly warned them not to go to the bamboo forest. Unexpectedly, it backfired, and the villagers didn't say that it was okay, but what they said aroused the interest of those people and insisted on entering the bamboo forest. Finally, the villagers showed them the stele before they stopped!
After sending these people away, the village chief immediately convened a general meeting of the whole village, and it was strictly forbidden for the villagers to tell people outside about the bamboo forest, for fear of harming people's lives.
Later, he sent people to guard the mountain.
But the bamboo forest is so big, how can it be kept! And where did the entrance come from? It's just that this so-called entrance is the closest to the General's Temple. In fact, if you want to enter the bamboo forest, there are entrances everywhere!
This is cheap for Changsheng, otherwise she would really not be able to enter!
She had already found time to go around the bamboo forest. To be honest, the bamboo forest is not big, and it is only twenty miles in radius. She had already vaguely seen that this was a maze array, and as for whether it was natural or not, she had to go in to find out.
For the war formation, Changsheng boasts that he is the best in the world.
The enlightenment of other people's children is all three-character scripture and hundred family names, and immortality is the stem of heaven and earth, and the gossip and five elements. Girls from other people's families read the four books of female precepts, and Changsheng looks at the art of war and Qimen.
When he grew up, he applied what he learned and fought in all directions. You can't do it if you don't want to! And the Lost Trace Array is not a war formation. It belongs to a small path of Qimen, which can be simple, and those who are a little knowledgeable will come out after walking, and at most they will be a beast; It can also be profound, trapping the gods.
And this bamboo forest, Changsheng is not good. Formation, only when you enter the formation, can you break the formation.
Changsheng decided to join the battle! The Sleepy God Array was legendary, she had never seen it, and besides, an area of twenty miles within a radius of twenty miles could not trap the gods. The more complex the formation, the larger the area it occupies. If you want to trap God in every inch, that's not what people do.
Therefore, this bamboo forest may be used by some "master" to live in seclusion. This phenomenon was common in her previous life. Masters always hate to be disturbed, so it's normal to set up a maze outside your residence!
Immortality came in with the heart of a visitor. But she was doomed to disappointment.
This maze array is not profound, or even superficial, but it is indeed man-made, not natural. But in the bamboo forest, there is nothing!
It's not right, there are bamboos, springs, and bones.
In the center of the bamboo forest is a 100-meter-square open space, paved with large and small mountain stones, there is a huge round mountain stone in the middle, three meters high, five or six meters long, the spring is just below the round stone, one meter square, at a glance to the bottom.
More than a dozen skeletons were scattered around the spring. The ages are far and near. Come to think of it, it's some of the unlucky people.
Changsheng carefully explored the bamboo forest again, and found some scattered bones and some dirt bags, perhaps, they were the graves of the lost, the graves dug by the lost for the lost.
Changsheng stood in front of the dirt bag and let out a sigh. At that time, these people did not know what kind of mood they had in mind, and buried others. They may speculate about who will bury them in the future.
The mood at that time, thinking about it, was sad, desperate and helpless.
Changsheng is also helpless now.
I really don't have anything to do with myself! Makes you curious! Call you eventful! Now what? To bury or not to bury? If you don't bury it, the bones of those unsightly corpses will be in front of you.
Bury? Let her dig the graves and pick up the bones of these strangers with her own hands? Dream!
What a dilemma!
It's such an ideal place to practice! Absolutely no one bothered and the view was nice! It's a pity to abandon it!
But let her do it herself?
That's it! It's time to accumulate virtue! Let's be cremated!
Changsheng turned his head and went home. It's going to be dark soon, don't go back and don't think about it next time! Besides, she had to go back and find the tools, and ask her to touch someone else's corpse with her own hands, that was impossible! If that were the case, she would rather abandon the bamboo forest.
The next day, Changsheng made another excuse to come out. This time she brought gloves, a mask, a knife, a bag, a lighter.
When I arrived at the bamboo forest, I first picked two suitable bamboos as pliers, then put on gloves and masks, took the bamboo, and pinched the bones on the ground into a bag. Finally, he gathered all the bones in the clearing, collected some dry wood, and lit them together. Finish.
In the next two days, she didn't go to the bamboo forest, but took a good bath at home a few times, and went to bad luck!
I felt that I was in a good mood, so I came to the bamboo forest again to explore this spring.
There is always a purpose for building this Lost Circle! However, according to Changsheng's observation, there are no man-made houses, and they may be old and demolished.
And when the location of the Lost Array is selected, it is all particular. This spring is the eye of the array. Maybe there's something strange about this spring? The "master" set up a formation in order to hide this spring?
I'm looking forward to it! Hope for a special cure!
Unfortunately, she was disappointed again.
"Hey~~~~" A thousand words turned into a sigh.
She knows that God loves to toss her. In her previous life, she was an emperor, but it was not what she wanted. In fact, she has nothing but the throne! The heart is full of bitterness.
In this life, the heart is not bitter, and the identity is really bitter. And it was a great gift when she first came, and it almost hurt her to death! It seems that God is not enough to play with her once, this is going to continue playing!
She has worked so hard to collect the corpses of others, you have a surprise! It's okay to give comfort without surprises! What's going on with this spring water, which is only sweeter than tap water?
If you don't wash the meridians and cut the marrow, you don't have the flesh and bones of the living and dead, you can at least invigorate the blood, dispel stasis and strengthen the body!
But Changsheng has tasted it, tasted it again, tasted it again! Keep up the tasting! The product is about to go up, and it has not made a name. The only good thing is that it's a little sweet!
Is it okay for her to find some soil to bury the spring?
That's it! It's her greed! I already have such a good body, and I just need to force something else. Be content!
In an instant, Changsheng straightened his mind and became happy. At least there's a place to practice!
