Chapter 285: Immortal Introduction
Hearing this, Wuming's face didn't change much, but he smiled faintly.
"Once in twenty years?" Liu Ziang couldn't help but mutter, "It seems that our luck is really not very good." Such a long interval, but we just encountered it. ”
Xu Ling's ugly face relaxed slightly.
She is no longer obsessed with whether it is illegal to be buried alive.
The officials can't manage it, and she certainly can't manage it.
In such a situation, the best way to deal with it is to arrest all the people who live here.
Just sending them out won't cure the problem.
Of course, arresting all these people, whether it is Liu Ziang's Divine Punishment Division or Xu Ling's Heavenly Mandate Division, they don't have such power now.
After shaking his head slightly, and completely abandoning the thoughts in his mind, Xu Ling asked Uncle Zhang curiously: "When we entered the village, the people in the village told us not only not to go out at night, but also to close the doors and windows. ”
"Could it be that it has something to do with the immortal burial they are going to do?"
"Hmm!" Uncle Zhang nodded, "This is indeed the kindness of the people in the village." ”
"In the past few days of the immortal burial, some strange things will happen. And to outsiders, it is somewhat dangerous. ”
"Strange things?" Liu Ziang's brows furrowed again.
"Dangerous?" Xu Ling also muttered solemnly.
In the end, the two asked Uncle Zhang in unison, "What's the strange thing?" ”
At this moment, even Wuming was a little curious. Holding the dishes and chopsticks, he looked at Uncle Zhang with wide eyes.
Seeing that everyone was curious, Uncle Zhang shook his head a little helplessly.
He put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after thinking carefully for a while, he said to Liu Ziang: "It's the same as the Red Lotus remnant you mentioned earlier. The locals also believe that the ancestors who have been buried by Changsheng can become immortals and protect them and the entire village. ”
"And when the buried people start to dissolve the soldiers, there will be heavenly immortals who will lead the military liberators to the heavens to become immortals."
As he spoke, Uncle Zhang took a light breath.
His face also became a little strange at this moment.
"Don't say it, it seems that there are really extraordinary people who come to pick up the burial people!"
The immortals said that Liu Ziang's Zhu Shen Division and Xu Ling's Heavenly Mandate Division knew too well what was going on.
Naturally, they don't believe that there are gods and immortals in this world.
When Uncle Zhang said this, both of them frowned at the same time.
"Uncle Zhang, are you saying that there are really immortals?" In the end, the two asked Uncle Zhang at the same time.
Uncle Zhang shook his head.
"I don't know if it's an immortal. But those nights twenty years ago are still fresh in my memory! ”
When Uncle Zhang said this, he glanced at everyone.
Whether it was Liu Ziang, Xu Ling, or even his adopted son Wuming looked at him nervously.
It's only Ling'er who eats vegetarian dishes without a bite by herself.
No one spoke.
But Uncle Zhang knew that everyone wanted him to continue.
So, he frowned and thought about it again for a while, and after sorting out his thoughts for a while, he continued.
"Twenty years ago, from the day of the burial, the weather was very strange."
"Including the burial, it was a total of six days. Every day is a sunny day and a stormy night with thunder. ”
"And it's very noisy. The noise was not heard by the villagers who participated in the sacrifice. And a lot of weird sounds. ”
Uncle Zhang's voice stopped!
It seems that his old age has blurred his memory a little.
After stopping, he raised his hand and gently rubbed his temples.
Liu Ziang, Xu Ling, and Wuming did not bother Uncle Zhang.
Just watched him silently and waited in peace.
After about three or four minutes, Uncle Zhang shook his head and continued to speak.
"That night, I was also warned by the villagers that I didn't dare to go out. I honestly don't know who is coming from the noise. ”
"I only vaguely remember that there was a horse crying and a neighing similar to a horse."
"And there are beast-like creatures, but they don't resemble the roar of beasts."
This last sentence contradicts each other.
But Liu Ziang and Xu Ling knew that it was not Uncle Zhang's mind that was confused.
Rather, the situation was extremely complicated.
The old gentleman, who could teach the children in the village to read and write, didn't know what words to use.
After saying that, Uncle Zhang shook his head fiercely again.
Finally, he smiled bitterly at Liu Ziang and Xu Ling.
"It's been too long. And I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was scared to death at the time. For the next few days, he hid under the bodhisattva every day. ”
"In short, the situation in the village must have been extremely complicated in those days."
"As for whether it's an immortal or not, I can't say."
"If you want to say it's an immortal, those weird sounds don't sound like they're coming from some immortal. But you have to say that it is not an immortal, and it comes without a trace, and goes without a trace. ”
"As you should have seen, the way in and out of this village is very complicated. I heard voices from horses and beasts and men. I went in and out for six nights in a row, and I couldn't leave no trace. ”
He shook his head bitterly, "Anyway, it's weird." ”
After speaking, Uncle Zhang picked up the dishes and chopsticks again.
But just picked up the dishes and chopsticks, Uncle Zhang didn't know what to think, and suddenly put the dishes and chopsticks down again.
Then he looked even more ugly and said to Liu Ziang and Xu Ling: "There is really a very strange thing that I have seen with my own eyes. ”
"More than 10 years ago, official people came to the mountain villages to popularize modernization. At the same time, he was determined to break the bad habits of the village. ”
"It was a big one. In order to solve the problem of eternal burial, the officials made the deceased in the village have to go to the town for cremation in the future. As for those who have already been buried, they also want to move to the public cemetery in the town. ”
"However, when the official people organized the coffin to be moved, they found that the coffin in the grave was empty."
"Empty?" Liu Ziang and Xu Ling were taken aback at the same time.
Even Wuming was stunned.
Uncle Zhang nodded with difficulty, "That's right, there is only a coffin in the grave, but there is no body." Not even bones. ”
"And ten graves were opened in a row."
"Could it be that there was no burial in the coffin from the beginning?" When Liu Ziang and Xu Ling were surprised, Wuming immediately asked Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang shook his head without even thinking about it.
"No, it won't. One of the coffins that was opened that year. It was the coffin that was buried twenty years ago. I saw with my own eyes an old man buried in a coffin, covered with a lid, and nailed to the coffin. ”
For a while, Uncle Zhang couldn't help but keep shaking his head, "And there are some coffins, and I can vaguely see that people are buried." ”
"It won't be that there was no one in the first place."
After muttering, Uncle Zhang picked up the dishes and chopsticks again, and smiled at Liu Ziang and Xu Ling, "It doesn't matter if it's really immortals, or the villagers are pretending to be ghosts." ”
"In short, it's better to listen to the villagers, and don't go out at night."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Ming also hurriedly said to Liu Ziang and Xu Ling: "The villagers are already xenophobic. Even if the immortals they say are false, you will ruin their customs if you go out rashly. ”
"It's good they didn't find out. If it is really discovered, there will definitely be chaos. “
"In this world, even if there are really ghosts and gods, they can't compare to the sinister of people's hearts. God knows what terrible things the villagers can do when they get angry. ”
Liu Ziang and Xu Ling glanced at each other, and then nodded to Mingwu at the same time.
