Chapter 88: There's a Situation
The ancient tomb has existed for hundreds of years, and the underground tomb keepers have continued, and the tomb keepers outside the tomb account for a major reason, not to say food and clothing, but blood.
When the grave keepers on the ground forgot the ancestral teachings for various reasons, the tradition of offering several marriageable girls to the mountain gods every few years continued.
Originally, Chongyang didn't know about it, and the villagers didn't want to mention it, offering girls or something, in the final analysis, it was a sign of their cowardice. In the year before last, when Chongyang came to Xiaonan Village to relax, he happened to encounter a big red cloth hanging on the head of the beast at the entrance of the village.
So Jin Yu and other girls were selected.
Jin Yu wept and said, "Those maidens dedicated to the mountain god have all disappeared, because they have disappeared, so we have always believed in the existence of the mountain god. ”
Chongyang asked, "What if you don't give it?" ”
Jin Yu said: "The mountain gods will be angry, and the mountain fire will swallow everything." ”
In the past, some villagers moved out of the village in order to get rid of the sacrifices, and the group on the other side of the mountain who made a living by fishing on the other side of the mountain moved out of Xiaonan Village. But they did not get rid of their bad luck, and they heard that every year in the fishing village there are girls who disappear, and some people say that it is the punishment of the mountain gods.
The wrath of the mountain god, Xiao Nancun definitely couldn't bear it, so they didn't dare to disobey it once. They can't do it without this land, after all, they have lived here for generations, and they have nowhere to go.
So, on the night of the sacrifice, out of curiosity, Chongyang replaced Jin Yu and blended into the sacrificial procession.
So, on the hill of sacrifice. In the dead of night, Chongyang was taken captive along with other girls and taken to the mausoleum.
It is conceivable that this is the truth of the girl's disappearance.
The underground grave keepers do not marry close relatives, but their number is limited, and in order to reproduce, they can only go to the ground to ask for maidens. In the final analysis, the tomb keepers of Xiaonan Village, who do not know much about the mausoleum, may be an arrangement for the continuation of the underground tomb keepers.
Underground, Chongyang will naturally go to explore the ancient tombs, and other ordinary tomb keepers pose no threat to Chongyang. Traps in the tomb. She can handle it too. It's just that during the exploration, she met the mat and was caught by him, and then he ordered it, after all, he was also of marriageable age.
Girls brought from outside are fed a medicine. Forget everything that came before. Chongyang was also forced to drink medicine. But she escaped and hid in the tomb for three whole days. Hungry and unable to walk, he was found by the mat and was caught again.
At that time, not long after Chongyang went mad, his skills were lost, and he was a very weak existence. Caught in the confinement of the mausoleum because of curiosity, she wanted to find a way out, but the way in was guarded by someone who couldn't get out, looking for other ways out in the ancient tomb, but she couldn't find the way for a long time, she could only plead.
Under Chongyang's snot and tears, the mat softened.
After that, Chongyang got along with Xizi Xiang day and night, she accompanied him to read books and practice with him, at that time Chongyang was still suffering from the sequelae of going mad, and he would have a splitting headache every few days.
Seeing that she was suffering, the mat picked the fire fruit for her.
The fire tree is a treasure that the mat Zixiang focuses on guarding, and he picks the fire fruit for Chongyang, which is against the ancestral teachings, but he says he doesn't care.
The Chongyang meridians can be restored, and the fire fruit accounts for the main cause.
During this period, Chongyang also studied the ancient books in the ancient tombs.
In return, Chongyang originally wanted to tell Xi Zixiang about the interesting things outside, but Xi Zixiang didn't want to hear it at all, he said: "The Huahua world outside is a demon, which will lead people to hell." ”
At that time, Chongyang felt that the grave keeper in the ground was not saved. In order to keep people, the ancestral rules of this tomb keeper are really amazing.
Chongyang's predicament was until the masters of Heshan Temple were killed in the mausoleum.
Follow Master, that's for sure.
In those two months, Chongyang was very grateful to Xi Zixiang, because of the fire fruit, because Chongyang said that the mausoleum was stuffy, Xi Zixiang took her to the door on the cliff to look at the sea and the sky.
For these two months, Xi Zixiang did not force her to do what she did not want to do.
……
There are two back baskets on the cliff, the Snow Maiden is watching from the side, Chongyang throws a back basket during the Dragon Boat Festival, looks at the sky, and says: "It's not early, we must find all the materials we need as soon as possible." ”
Chongyang seemed to have expected that the Dragon Boat Festival would come out indiscriminately, and put a set of villagers' clothes in his back basket.
Now, there is no need to say anything, the Dragon Boat Festival should also understand that he has been calculated early in the morning.
Dragon Boat Festival actually cares a lot about the relationship between Chongyang and the mask man, because of his appearance, Dragon Boat Festival always feels that the mask man is a strong competitor.
On the way, the Dragon Boat Festival took out two jade pendants from his arms and handed one to Chongyang.
Chongyang glanced at him and accepted the jade pendant, these two jade pendants are a pair, the shape of the mask is very small and exquisite, one side of the piece, together it is a complete mask.
The texture of white jade, with other jade lines of blue, is very cold to start.
Dragon Boat Festival held his jade pendant in his hand, sighed a few times, and then showed it to Chongyang, the blue lines turned red.
Chongyang also tried to do this, and the jade pendant wrapped in the palm of his hand slowly became hot! Gradually, it became hotter and hotter, and when Chongyang spread his hands, the lines became as dark red as blood.
Dragon Boat Festival smiled and said: "When you come to the menstrual event, if you feel uncomfortable in your stomach, you can put this jade pendant on your stomach, it is absolutely comfortable!" ”
Chongyang sighed: "Do you think I will have this problem?" ”
Women need to be regulated, as a person who knows how to heal, Chongyang naturally pays attention to daily conditioning, and the little trouble of menstruation has naturally been solved by herself.
However, this jade pendant is very good, and Chongyang accepted it.
As for the provenance of the jade pendant, it goes without saying, it is naturally an ancient tomb, he just got it, otherwise he would have taken it out earlier.
On a busy day, collecting medicines, everywhere you go is a shady place, and the medicines you collect are poisonous.
Back in the village, the sun has set in the west, and on the way back to the sunset, the Dragon Boat Festival has been paying attention to the surroundings.
Chongyang asked, "What are you guarding against?" ”
"You stole two fire fruits, and the masked man didn't come out to chase and kill?"
"I won't chase it, the child won't need the fire fruit, if I pick it, he won't ask for it. He won't come out of the tomb either. ”
When Chongyang mentioned the mat item, he smiled lightly, which was very dazzling for the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival fell into deep thought.
Before you pick it up, you have to live or die to obstruct it, and you don't care if you take it off? It's a baby.,It's so easy to let go.,Isn't it looking forward to coming back next time? Children don't come out of the tomb, and others don't come out? So how did they survive in the tomb? Someone must have gone outside the tomb to find food!
Sure enough, there is a situation in this! And the "child" is called so intimately!
After being silent for a while, Chongyang suddenly said: "The rumor of the fire fruit immortality is false, it has other effects, I have useful use, so I won't give it to you." In the past, you took my stuff and settled the account. ”
In Xiaozhuang Building, she was searched once she was caught, and many of her things were taken away by the Dragon Boat Festival. It's time to take it out for some good. (To be continued......)
