Chapter 323: The Land of the Seven Evils
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Qianqian and Tang Xuan were both taken aback and followed his gaze.
There is a stone cave in front of you, dilapidated, the most common dwelling on the Loess Plateau, there is really nothing to be surprised about.
"Mr. Yan, this stone cave was personally chosen by the Lingshi?"
Xiao Fan's surprise was quickly put away, he turned his head to look at Yan Taihua, frowned and asked, his tone was still full of suspicion.
Angry!
The geographical location of this stone cave is naturally nothing in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Xiao Fan, it is so dangerous and unpredictable.
This is the Land of the Seven Evils!
Among the feng shui geography, the land of the seven evils is also known as the "land of the seven uniques", which is one of the most dangerous terrains among all the Jedi, and its danger is second only to the "ten places of the dead". People who know a little about feng shui geography will never choose to build a house in such a place to live. To build a house in such a place is to "cut off children and grandchildren".
If it were an ordinary person who didn't understand feng shui, it wouldn't be enough, Xiao Fan wouldn't be so surprised.
But who is Master Yan?
His apprentice is already so powerful, how can he not understand feng shui at all, and choose to build a house and live in such a "land of seven evils"? This is deliberately trying to get along with yourself!
Yan Taihua smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xiao also saw it? This homestead was indeed chosen by my master himself. He insisted on going home to live, but he refused to live in the courtyard of his hometown, so he had to dig two caves here to live, and no one could resist his old man. ”
Xiao Fan frowned and said, "Mr. Yan, this is not a trivial matter, you don't stop the old man?" ”
As a sorcerer. What is the intention of letting his master live in the "Land of Seven Evils" without dissuading him?
This "land of seven evils" not only hinders the children and grandchildren. There is also great harm to the body of the occupant.
Yan Taihua shook his head again and again. sighed: "Mr. Xiao, don't you know my master's character, the old man is too stubborn, if you can persuade him, do you still need to drag it out until today?" I've been building him a new house for many years, and he just won't move. ”
"Is there such a thing?"
Xiao Fan's eyes flickered, and he didn't seem to understand the old man's strange behavior. This kind of thing can't be explained by stubbornness.
In other words. There are a lot of people who commit suicide on this shijie, which is not surprising, and there are more people who can't think about it for a while. But killing oneself is so many years, and the blunt knife slowly cuts the flesh, but it is absolutely difficult to explain.
"Taihua, why is it so slow for the distinguished guest to come to the door?"
At this time, an old and abnormal voice sounded in the stone cave, and he didn't finish a word. was a little out of breath, as if he was struggling, but his words and sentences were crepe.
"Master!"
Yan Taihua hurriedly shouted, and then turned to Xiao Fan.
"Mr. Xiao. Please! ”
"Okay, Mr. Yan, please."
Under the guidance of Yan Taihua, Xiao Fan slowly walked into the courtyard outside the ancient stone cave.
The caves are not the main body of mountain village dwellings in Ha Dong Province. It is a huge old river village, and most of them are still brick and tile bungalows. Only a few people live in the caves. Unlike the neighboring province of Qinguan. Throughout the northern part of Qinguan, most of the villages are dominated by caves.
This stone cave and courtyard have an obvious atmosphere of the seventies and eighties of the last century, and even some traces of slogans at that time remain on the walls, one of which is to resolutely support Chairman Zhu.
Taihua County, as the hometown of Chairman Zhu, resolutely supports it, which is very reasonable.
The yard is very level, the concrete floor is new, and it can be seen that it has been repaired not long ago. Seeing that Xiao Fan's gaze was just on those slogans, Yan Taihua smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "The old man doesn't let him paint, saying that this is also a kind of witness to history." Speaking of which, the old man's father, that is, the thirteenth prince of our Laohe Village, really had an intersection with Chairman Zhu back then. ”
"Oh? What kind of intersection is it? ”
Xiao Fan suddenly became interested and asked with a smile.
"Well, let's ask Mr. Xiao about the old man yourself. He knows better than I can tell. ”
Yan Taihua smiled, sold a pass, and then pushed open the door of the cave and invited the guests to enter.
The inside of the cave is clean and clean, and there is no decay or strange smell, which is very different from the residence of ordinary elderly people who live alone.
Xiao Fan walked in the door, only to see an old man sitting cross-legged on the kang, because of the backlight, Xiao Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and it took a while to adapt to the indoor situation.
"Master!"
Yan Taihua stepped forward quickly, came to the old man's side, called out respectfully, and stretched out his hand to help.
At this moment, Xiao Fan had already seen clearly that the old man sitting cross-legged on the kang had snow-white hair and age spots all over his face, and he looked at least eighty or ninety years old, and the light in the room was dim, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Wearing a azure gown, it is very clean and tidy.
"Master Yan, hello!"
Xiao Fan bowed slightly towards the old man and shouted respectfully.
Yan Taihua made it clear just now that this was the real Master Yan.
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "Hello." ”
Yan Taihua hurriedly said: "Master, this is Mr. Xiao, his big name is Xiao Fan, and he is from the capital. ”
The old man nodded with a smile and said to Yan Taihua, "Did you find that thing?" ”
Yan Taihua hurriedly said, "Yes, Master, I found that thing. That thing is now in Mr. Xiao's hands, and I asked him to come here and show it to your old man for himself. ”
"Good, good......"
The old man nodded again and again, a happy smile on his face.
"Ah, here's a guest? Brother Taihua is back? ”
While he was talking, a loud voice sounded, and as soon as the door squeaked, a middle-aged sister-in-law in her forties strode in. This middle-aged sister-in-law is tall, very strong, and her chest is heavy, like holding two watermelons in her arms, giving people a sense of oppression.
"Haha, Cuihua is here?"
Yan Taihua was also very familiar with this middle-aged sister-in-law, and said hello with a smile.
"Yo, where did this girl come from, why is she so good-looking? Tsk, that's really amazing...... Come on, the house is too narrow, and the air is not circulating, so let's go and sit in the yard, and it won't be cool in the evening......"
The middle-aged sister-in-law Cuihua is a self-familiar character, and she snorted haha in a loud voice, and did not wait for the master's family to agree or disagree, so she picked up the small table and walked to the courtyard outside the door.
Yan Taihua smiled and explained to Xiao Fan: "Mr. Xiao, my master lives here alone, and Cuihua's house is not far away, and I usually ask her to take care of my master." She is a warm-hearted person, but the people in the mountains don't understand etiquette, and please don't be surprised by Mr. Xiao. ”
The sorcerer is "one of the five evils and three deficiencies", Yan Taihua's master lives alone and has no children to accompany him, which is very reasonable. I don't know if he has children.
Yan Taihua asked Cuihua to take care of the master's daily life nearby, and with the elderly taking care of them, Cuihua can earn wages without going out, which is also the best of both worlds. No wonder the courtyard and the cave are very tidy, and the old man is also clean.
Cuihua was in full swing, and soon set up a "dragon gate array" in the yard.
It was in the afternoon, the sun was shining, although it was in the mountains, it was not very cool, and it was indeed much more comfortable to sit in the courtyard and talk than to sit in the cave. Yan Taihua personally helped the master out and sat down at the table. Cuihua quickly put up four tea trays, put these melon seeds and peanuts and other guests, and poured a cup of hot tea for each guest, decent.
Under the sun, when I looked closely, I found that the old man's face was slightly gray, and his spirit was not so vigorous. It seems that no matter how good the old man's health is when he is young, no matter how high his attainments in magic are, he still can't resist the encroachment of evil qi when he lives in this "Seven Absolute Land" all year round.
Xiao Fan couldn't help but look at the old man, and the old man was also looking at the four of them, bowing slightly.
"Taihua, have you shown that thing to Mr. Xiao?"
"I've seen it."
The old man nodded, looked at Xiao Fan, and said, "Mr. Xiao, from the northeast?" ”
Speak standard Mandarin.
Xiao Fan smiled and nodded, and replied, "Yes, Master Yan." ”
"So, Mr. Xiao is a descendant of Wuji?"
Master Yan asked casually.
Xiao Fan's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "How did Master Yan know?" ”
The old man smiled, gasped twice, and then said: "For those formulas and laws, Mr. Xiao came thousands of miles to this remote mountain village, and he should be the descendant of Wujimen." Although I have not cultivated these mantras and Dharma phases myself, my father once told me that they should be things of the Wuji Gate. Now it seems that this is the case. ”
Xiao Fan looked at the old man steadily, and said slowly, "Master Yan, does Lord Lingzun have any dealings with our Wuji Sect?" How did he know that these mantras and dharma phases were the inheritance of our Wujimen? ”
Although his tone was calm, his eyes were shining.
The old man turned a blind eye to Xiao Fan's sharp eyes, his eyes were blurred, he took a breath, and said softly: "Mr. Xiao, reincarnation goes back and forth, and everything has a fixed number. Although the Wuji inheritance is vast and profound, it does not necessarily mean that no one knows about it. May I ask Mr. Xiao, what do you call Mr. Zhao Zhishui? ”
Xiao Fan was busy and owed his body, and said, "It's the family teacher!" ”
Master Yan's snow-white and sparse eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "Mr. Xiao is a personal disciple of the Ancestor of Zhishui?" ”
With a hint of disbelief.
It is really that Xiao Fan is too young, but the Ancestor of Zhishui is already a hundred years old, and even Master Yan is called "old man". These two turned out to be masters and apprentices, and the age gap was too big. It is hard to imagine that when the water stop patriarch reaches the age of eighty or ninety, he can still accept apprentices and teach in person.
This is really not a joke, I don't know how much effort and energy it takes to become a disciple as a master, and it is indeed not a major task that an old man can do.
Yuan Qianqian chuckled and said, "Master Yan, the one in front of you is the sixty-fourth generation master of the Wuji Sect!" ”
PS: Chapter 321 has been modified, and the sixth path of "reincarnation phase" should be "Shura Dao", please be aware. (To be continued......)
