Chapter 40: The Promise

The room with doors and windows closed was dimly lit.

Old Madam Xie sat down slowly.

"Ah Shan, this matter is not recorded in our clan, and it is only passed on by word of mouth of Lord Dan."

There seemed to be a woman in front of her who turned around, with a solemn face similar to hers, this was her mother Xie Rong.

"Mother, what is the witch song?" She asked curiously.

Dan mainly learned the cheats of song and dance basically before the age of thirteen, the rest is practiced by the mother, why is his daughter now going to be the master of Dan, and the mother who has not asked anything for a long time came to her and said that something important?

"It's not a witch song." Xie Rong said, "It's one thing, the real cause of your great-great-grandmother's death. ”

More than 140 years ago, the story of the great Dan of the Xie family who died of injury in order to save a miner when he was mining is a well-known thing in Pengshui and even the whole Bashu, and it is also a long-standing story of the mercy and kindness of the Lord of the Xie family, which often appears on the stage of the teahouse temple fair.

For more than 100 years, Lord Ru Da Dan has almost become an immortal in Bashu, and there are often stories of encountering Lord Ru Da Dan's manifestation to save the crisis.

For this, the people of the Xie family are also convinced.

Now that her mother suddenly told her that there was a real reason for Lord Ru Dadan's death, that is to say, the things that they were convinced about Lord Ru Da Dan were false?!

What's going on?

"At the beginning, it wasn't a point mine, it was a mountain."

The point mine is also a mountain, but this kind of mining is very gentle, and the purpose is to find cinnabar. And the so-called opening of the mountain is very rude, regardless of the indiscriminate smashing, the purpose is not to find mines.

For people who rely on mountains and mines for their livelihood, this is a great blasphemy against the mountain god, and the Xie family, as a great witch, will not and should not do such a thing.

"There are no miners who have been rescued, and it is the sorcerer of the mountain temple who followed Lord Ru Dadan into the cave."

If there is a mountain, there is a temple, which is dedicated to the mountain god, and it is impossible for the Dan lord to guard the temple, so there will be a special shaman to be responsible for guarding it, as well as daily incense offerings.

These sorcerers were all selected by the Xie family from among the mountain people who attached them. I am familiar with the mountains. They were also taught a certain amount of ritual knowledge, but then they were gradually abolished, and the duty of guarding the temple was replaced by the mountain watchers.

"It was because of that accident that the family was extremely dissatisfied with the wizards. Removed the Wizard to see the temple. ”

So what the hell is going on?

"It is said that in ancient times, Da Wuqing got a scripture. Therefore, it is possible to point sand and distinguish sand and raise sand. But I don't know if it's lost or it's just a rumor, I haven't seen this scripture for two hundred years, more than one hundred and forty years ago. Your great-great-great-grandmother, Xie Ru, somewhere she found that this scripture may be hidden in the mountains. ”

Old Madam Xie's heart couldn't help but beat violently when she heard this.

Hidden in the mountains? So do you want to open the mountain? But......

"But at that time, the Yushan mine was the most prosperous, and according to the rules, it was not allowed to open the mountain."

Mining has already offended the mountain god, and it is necessary to open the mountain at the same time as mining, which is simply to cut the injured people with knives, which is really cruel.

"However, the family really wanted to get the scriptures, and finally decided to open the mountain, and after opening the mountain, they found a hidden cave."

"Because it involves the cheats of the Great Wuqing, so you can only go in with your great-great-grandmother, and for safety, the wizard of Yushan at that time, Mai Gu, was allowed to accompany him, but it didn't take long to go in and it collapsed."

"Although both of them were rescued, they were both seriously injured and unconscious, and McGoo survived for four days, and your great-great-grandmother survived for eight days, and finally died, but this matter must not be said outside."

Yes, as the lord of Dan, he did such a disrespectful thing to the mountain god, and was stoned to death in the mountain, it can be seen that the mountain god was angry, and he deserved the crime of death.

If this kind of thing spreads, the miners will be disgraced and awe-inspiring in front of the people, and the Xie family will be finished.

It turns out that this is the story of desperate efforts to save the miners.

What compassion is cherished, the legend is always so beautiful, but the truth is chilling.

It's just such a thing, why bother with word of mouth, and let it disappear forever More than a hundred years ago, it will always be a beautiful talk.

"Yes, everybody wants it to be so, but it can't, because your great-great-grandmother has been muttering strange things all the time during the seven days she was unconscious."

Strange words?

"It's the scriptures."

Old Madam Xie felt that her heartbeat had stopped, and she couldn't help but stand up and hold her heart.

Really found it?

"I don't know if I really found it, the mountain collapsed too much, the hole can't be entered at all, no one else knows what happened in the cave, your great-great-great-grandmother just recited those scriptures repeatedly, except for the scriptures, only remember to remember these two sentences, and then died, everyone suspected that this was the scripture seen in the cave, so let your great-great-grandmother memorize it firmly."

"But the scriptures are very short, and I don't know if they are complete or not, and your great-great-grandmother's words are so repetitive that they can't be pieced together."

"After the death of your great-great-grandmother, the family was unwilling to dig the hole that collapsed, but they found nothing."

"Therefore, I don't know whether this scripture is true or not, and this matter cannot be recorded, but I am afraid that if it is really true, I will not dare to lose it, so I decided to pass it down by word of mouth, and pass down the true situation of this matter, as well as the scriptures that your great-great-grandmother repeatedly recited when she was in a coma, so that one day it will be verified whether it is really a scripture that was lost in ancient times."

"But for so many years, there has been no clue about the scriptures, your great-great-grandmother, great-grandmother also tried to read and analyze, but it was meaningless at all, so it was just passed down like this, because of the death of the great-great-grandmother, I didn't dare to let the Dan lord have the greed to dig up the scriptures, so as not to have another accident, so this matter was only told when the previous Dan lord was old, the next Dan lord had experienced human feelings, and his children could also take charge of themselves."

"Ashan, now that I'm old and dying, it's time to pass on the scriptures to you."

"Ahsan, listen up."

"East of the South Mountain. There are mountains, the soil is like red, and the shape is like a tiger......"

Old Mrs. Xie thought in her mouth, took a deep breath, and looked at the old Haimu who was kneeling on the ground.

"So, Mai Gu didn't die directly from a coma, he woke up, and told you about these things?" She asked, slamming to her feet and raising her voice. "And you. It has been hidden for more than 100 years! ”

Old Haimu was busy kowtowing.

"Lord Dan, the ancestors did not wake up, they were unconscious, and they recited these scriptures in a coma. In addition to these verses. I didn't say anything. He said with a choked bow. We don't know anything other than these verses, Lord Great Dan. The descendants of Maigu swore by their ancestors that if there was half a lie, the white tiger would devour it forever and would not be reincarnated. ”

Old Madam Xie looked at him and lowered her gaze.

"Then how do you know that these verses are relevant to the events of that year?" She asked.

"Lao Er didn't know it, and he didn't take it seriously in his daily life, because Lao Er was not in good health, and he was afraid that he would suddenly die in the mine, so he taught these scriptures to his son Brother An early, because he was young and afraid that he would talk nonsense, so he didn't teach him all the scriptures, only taught a few sentences in the middle." Lao Haimu said, with a bit of reminiscence.

"The first time I found an abnormality was when Brother An was eleven years old, he was old enough, working as a handyman in the mine, and suddenly shouted that the rocks over there were going to roll down, at that time everyone thought it was a child with hysteria, but I didn't expect that the stones on the mountain really rolled down, and injured several people, everyone thought it was strange and came to ask Brother An, but he couldn't say why, and then I asked him privately, and he said that he had read the scriptures to him."

Hearing this, Old Madam Xie couldn't help but clench her hands.

"I also read a few of those verses, but I couldn't feel anything, so I thought it was a coincidence." Old Haimu continued, "Later, when he became an adult, he was sent to work in other mines, and one day he suddenly came back and told me that his mine had collapsed, and I thought he was scared so he fled back and wanted to reprimand him, but he told me that he had found out about the collapse in advance. ”

"I asked him, and he said that it was about those verses, and that those verses were about the reaction before the mine collapsed, and that when he found this reaction, it meant that something was going to happen to the mine."

"Only then did I become convinced that this scripture was definitely not the temple prayers of the ancestors, and I thought that the ancestors had been protected by Lord Ru Dadan, and these words were recited after that incident, so I wondered if this was a scripture handed down by Lord Ru Dadan."

"Because it involves the scriptures of Lord Ru Dadan, Lao Er doesn't dare to talk to people lightly, and he wants to ask to see Lord Dan because of his low status."

"I didn't expect you to come to the mine, Lord Dadan, Lao Er was so excited that he wanted to tell you, but he didn't know where to start."

"This time there was an accident in the mine again, and it was Brother An who relied on the scriptures to warn in advance, it can be seen that this scripture is really passed down by Lord Ru Da Dan himself, and Lord Da Dan also saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, Lao Er no longer dared to hide it, so he stood up and sued Lord SΓΉ Da Dan."

At this he leaned down and kowtowed.

"If the old man hides half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky."

As he said this, the room fell silent.

Old Madam Xie sat down slowly.

"He didn't just rely on the scriptures to warn." "He was holding on to the bone." ”

Supporting the mountain bones?

Brother An didn't say anything about this, and Lao Haimu was even more excited.

"Lord Great Dan." He knelt down and took a few steps forward, "It must be the scriptures that tell him how he found the bones." ”

There are so many bones in a huge mountain, even the most experienced old miners will not be able to find it, let alone the young Ango.

Only those witches who can communicate with the mountain gods can do this.

The witch scripture that can communicate with the mountain gods, so to speak, the Lord Ru Da Dan really found the lost ancient scriptures.

The scene seemed to come to her mind.

Standing in the cave, Lord Ru Da Dan saw the scriptures, but the cave was about to collapse, the scriptures may not be able to be taken out for some reason, she could only recite and memorize frantically, and Mai Gu, who followed her, was also secretly reciting.......No, not necessarily secretly, or, Lord Ru Da Dan asked him to recite it, because it was too urgent, I am afraid that a person may not be able to remember the ...... completely."

"How many verses have you memorized?" Old Madam Xie asked sharply.

"Twenty-four sentences." Lao Haimu said without hesitation.

That's not right.

"I only have eighteen sentences to remember." Old Madam Xie said, "You carry it." ”

Old Haimu nodded.

"To the east of Nanshan, there are mountains, the soil is like red, the shape is like a tiger, the mountains, rivers and forests are ......," he said.

As soon as he said this, Old Madam Xie interrupted him.

"No, after the shape of a tiger, there is grass like a leek." She said.

"Lord Dan, I didn't lie to you." Lao Haimu hurriedly shook his head and said.

"You carry it on." Old Madam Xie said.

Old Haimu continued to recite, and Old Madam Xie first frowned and shook her head, and gradually became a little abrupt.

"I see." She said, after listening to the twenty-four verses of Lao Haimu, "What you memorize is completely different from mine except for the first sentence, which is probably the difference in the passages you memorize." ”

The paragraphs are different?

It seems that in order to memorize more, Lord Ru Da Dan and Mai Gu recited different passages respectively, and it is very likely that one is the beginning and the other is the end.

No matter how I remember it, many things have been verified today, Lord Ru Dadan did find the scripture at the beginning, and this scripture is indeed a witch scripture about cinnabar.

It's really a lost scripture of antiquity!

Old Madam Xie couldn't help but her heart beat faster.

Be able to predict the mining disaster, be able to communicate with the mountain god, see the mountain god thoroughly, and find the witch scripture that the mountain bone supports the mountain bone.

No, this scripture must be more than this, those techniques that have never been accurate in spotting sand, distinguishing sand, raising sand, etc., turned out to be true, not the dry secret book of the great witch handed down by them, in fact, it is just the experience accumulated by the miners.

The great witch of the Xie family really existed, no, no, it was not saved in the past, it was possible that it could appear now.

Just get that scripture!

Old Madam Xie stretched out her hand and pressed her heart, only to feel her ears buzzing.

Go and get it, find it, there really is this book, it is really stored.

"....... when I was about to die, and when you were old, I told you about it, so that Lord Dan would not be greedy and misguided..."

Old Madam Xie's ears suddenly sounded her mother's words, and she came back to her senses as soon as she was smart, and a layer of sweat broke out in this short moment.

No wonder, no wonder it has to be passed down from generation to generation, she is so old, she almost can't help but rush into the mountains immediately, splitting the mountains and opening the mountains no matter what, she has to find this book, if she is a younger person, she is probably not just thinking about it, but rushing out.

Calm, calm down.

Old Madam Xie took a deep breath and sat down, her eyes falling on Lao Haimu again.

"Haimu." She said, "What do you want?" ”

Lao Haimu's body shook.

"Lao Er doesn't dare to ask for anything, this is the Great Dan Lord." He said.

Old Madam Xie smiled.

"Haimu, you've noticed the anomaly a long time ago, isn't it a bit ridiculous to wait until now to say that you want nothing else?" She said, "Although Lord Dan is not easy to see, but if you really want to see it, there is always a way to see it, haven't you waited so long just to wait for a foolproof opportunity?" ”

Old Haimu leaned over and trembled.

"I won't say anything else, I'll sue you now." Old Madam Xie's voice continued, "Now, this opportunity has arrived. ”

Old Haimu raised his head suddenly.

"Lord Dan, Lao Er has nothing else to ask for, my ancestors have sinned a lot because of the death of Lord Dan, and our children and grandchildren have sworn not to leave the mine to atone for the miners for generations, Lao Er only asks Lord Da Dan to forgive me and other poisonous oaths, so that my children and grandchildren can return to freedom." He said.

Old Madam Xie smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I will set your children and grandchildren free." She said, and muttered for a moment, "Your son Brother An, I will take him out of the mine and give him glory and wealth." ”
