Pinluo clenched his fist with one hand and hit it the palm of his hand, making a crisp sound of 'pop':

"I think Na Yichang wears the thickest, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and everyone seems to be very afraid of him."

He thought about it for a moment, and said, "That first look is also dressed a lot, no wonder the old man with the long beard was still very respectful to him before, and when he came in, the residents who were ordered by him to come out to greet him were also a little afraid of him." ”

Speaking of this, Pinro was a little puzzled:

"You say they wear so much, isn't it hot?"

"......" Song Qing glanced at him, a little speechless, the two talked about the abnormalities of these people's dresses, and he didn't care if other people's skirts were hot.

"But then again, the temperature here is really low, and it may be built by the mountains and rivers, so it's no wonder that you need to wear thicker." Especially this house, it is even more cold.

When the young man said this, he couldn't help but wrap his shoulders and shrink his neck.

"The reason it's cold here is because the yin is heavier than other places." When a few people came in from the Nine Dragon Caves, they were already contaminated with yin qi, which damaged their own yang energy, so as soon as Pinluo entered, he felt chills all over his body, difficult to resist, and felt that something was not quite right.

"Yin Qi?" Pin Luo was stunned for a moment, and Song Qing pointed out to him:

"Didn't you see the tiger painted in gold paint on the door when you came in?"

Of course I did!

The young man nodded, and Song Qingxiao continued:

"The tiger is painted on the door to suppress the ghosts." It's just that although the golden tiger on the door is quite aura, it can't compare to the spiritual breath of the tiger found on the gate of Gu Mansion when Song Qingxiao was on an expedition to Gu Mansion that day.

"Is it, really, there's that thing?" He shuddered, and saw that Song Qingxiao's expression didn't look like a joke, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly spoke:

"When Hatsurong mentioned the Dragon King Festival, he said that he had prepared for it......"

At that time, Pinluo also misunderstood, thinking that Churong's 'early preparation' meant that the life of the girl who could be sacrificed could be saved, but Churong said with a straight face: "After the sacrifice, there will be a series of cleaning work to ensure that the dead ghost cannot be troubled and affect others." ”

When Chu Rong said this, Pin Luo didn't think so, at this time, combined with Song Qing's words, and then thinking of the tiger painted with gold paint on the house where the two of them came in, Pin Luo's face immediately turned pale.

There are not only ghosts here, but there is a good chance that ghosts will also appear in this house.

When Song Qingxiao came all the way, he noticed that the doors of the other houses were not the same as this house.

Although the place is small and the population is small, it is clearly hierarchical, and the lowly clansmen live in the outermost places.

And this house is not only located in the middle, but also close to Yichang's residence, proving that this house is not an ordinary residence.

And the door is not painted, but also locked.

The population in the Yulun Realm is sparse, and there is no contact with the outside world, so it can be said that every household here does not leave behind the road, and does not close the door at night, so there is no need to lock it at all.

I am afraid that this is the only house that is forbidden to enter and leave this place at will, except for the holy temple.

And what makes this house so special? Adjacent to the atrium, it occupies a very large area, but only the two sisters live.

The yin qi in the house is extremely heavy, and the water from the lake is introduced into the courtyard, which circulates continuously in the building, which deepens the accumulation of this yin qi.

The two girls trapped here, the tiger painting that blocks the ghosts, and the dragon king sacrifice is imminent, all kinds of clues are connected, where is there anything Song Qingxiao doesn't understand?

"Why don't we go find someone else now, and get out of here first." As soon as Pinluo heard that there was a ghost here, he felt that he couldn't stay for a moment:

"I see that there are more than local evil sects here, and the first appearance is not a good person, the dragon king sacrifice he said has already been selected, and nine times out of ten he wants to stabilize us first, wait until we are trapped here, and then take you ......"

"Nope." Song Qingxiao interrupted him and shook his head:

"The candidate for the Dragon King Festival has been decided."

Pinro's words took her by surprise, "It's decided?" ”

He repeated, then raised his voice: "How do you know?" ”

"Of the two sisters who live here, I'm afraid one of them is one of the candidates to be sacrificed."

Pinluo's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a while, but Song Qingxiao remembered the topic he had taken away before.

As Pinluo said, the clothes worn by Yichang and the others were too heavy and not conducive to walking.

The heavier the layers of the dress, the higher the status of the person, but it may also represent other information.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking:

"Pinluo, do you know anything about your local funeral customs?"

Pin Luo was still immersed in the shock brought by what she said earlier, and when she heard Song Qingxiao's question at this time, she still couldn't react, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face.

"Have you ever dug up an ancient tomb or something like that, and what kind of clothes did the dead wear when they were buried?"

The young man now heard what she said, and soon understood what she meant:

"You're saying they're wearing clothes, probably ......"

Song Qing nodded, he began to tremble again, and there was a 'click' sound between the teeth hitting:

"Can't you? I've just met them, and they're alive. ”

He was already panicking at this moment, but with Song Qingxiao's reminder at this moment, he quickly remembered something:

"More than ten years ago, a 3,000-year-old Tusi tomb was dug up here...... his face was pale, and his hands and feet trembled:

"The whole country was shocked because the discovery was so significant that we built a museum in our area."

The dress that the toast wore when he was buried was cleaned up by scholars and presented in the museum.

At that time, the museum was opened, and the locals went to see it, and Pinro often went there.

Thinking about it now, the funeral clothes that were stripped from under the body of the toast were indeed somewhat similar to those worn by these people.

"It's all a wide-sleeved shirt with a dark blue collar, wrapped in cloth on the lower body, and hung on the waist with a jade hook."

"Are you sure?" Although this answer was expected by Song Qingxiao, she still asked.

Pinluo's face turned pale, but he nodded very firmly:

"I'm sure."

He swallowed his spit and calmed the deep apprehension in his heart:

"You don't know, there have been legends of dragons in our local area for a long time."

Three thousand years ago, the etiquette was not established, and the dress was not standardized and formal, but there is a legend of the dragon here, so the local people worship the totem of the dragon with the custom of believing in the dragon king.

Even the most powerful Tusi in the local area did not dare to embroider the dragon's totem on his clothes when he was dressing, because he was afraid that he would wear the dragon on his body and be disrespectful to the dragon, which would attract the wrath of the dragon king and lead to disaster.

But after death, there is no such great constraint.

When you are alive, you are afraid that the blessing will not suppress the dragon energy, and you will generally not embroider the dragon totem on your body, but after death, the longevity clothes worn when you are buried will have a dragon-shaped pattern, which means that after death, the soul will be guided by the dragon king, return to the world of bliss, and bless future generations.

"After you said it now, I noticed that the embroidered edges of the clothes worn by Yichang and the others were very similar to dragon patterns."

At first, it seemed like a simple curved figure, but after Song Qingxiao reminded him, Pinluo thought about it again and noticed that something was wrong.

The shroud in the museum, because of its age and damage, even if it is repaired, it is impossible to restore it to a new era, so he didn't recognize it for a while.

After thinking about it at this time, the shroud in the museum is not only similar in appearance to what Yichang and others are wearing, but also has seven or eight points of similarity.

"At that time, the embroidery skills were not developed later, so they were just god-like and shape-like, not like the dragon embroidery of later generations, which was lifelike."

It's just that the clothes worn by Yichang and the others are obviously newer and more luxurious than the burial objects taken out of the dug up tomb, and because they are worn on the 'living', he didn't think about it in this direction at all.

"What's more, what's more, the clothes that the toast is wearing don't have so many layers." The more Pinro said, the more he had to cry.

Song Qingxiao was very calm, and what Pinluo said verified her deep guess.

After determining that the clothes worn by Yichang and the others were wrong, the only thing that remained to be confirmed was the meaning of the layers of the clothes, and what was the reason.

In addition to the people brought by Uncle Xiang this time, there are a total of 147 original clansmen here, and this number should be fixed.

“147……”

Song Qingxiao repeated this number in a low voice, she remembered that when she came all the way, among the people who saluted her, there were men and women, middle-aged people like Chu Rong, and elderly people, but only as if they had never seen children.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the youngest person they had ever seen was the most noble Yichang lord here.

When he was in the dock pavilion, an old man with a goatee was very respectful to Chu Rong and called him the third uncle, what does this mean?

The first appearance that looks like a forty or fifty-year-old is really only forty or fifty years old?

If he was not merely forty or fifty years old, but somehow made him preserve his present appearance, what was that method?

If he was really only forty or fifty years old, then the reason why the old man called him the third uncle before might just be the reason for his higher rank.

After all, it is not impossible for some couples to have children when they are old, and the eldest son is born early, which will also widen the age gap between uncles and nephews.

But in this way, Song Qing had doubts in his caution-

There were no children here, not only did there be no children, but she had never seen the existence of tombs along the way.

Chu Rong said that there were 147 people here, and the number was fixed and almost unchanged.

It's just that since we are born as human beings, there are births and old age, as well as sickness and death.

This is what Song Qingxiao finds strange, there is no new life here, and there is no grave for the dead.

She thought of Uncle Xiang.

When he was on the river corridor, when Uncle Xiang was talking to Yichang, he mentioned his age.

At that time, he was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Pinluo was talking to her at that time, which attracted the attention of Na Yichang, so Uncle Xiang was not allowed to continue.

Uncle Xiang said at the time: He is already seventy and one, and his health has not been as good as before recently, and Yichang promised him at that time--

Song Qingxiao guessed that Uncle Xiang had been cold and hot for decades, and Yueyue had transported materials to people in the Yulun Realm at a fixed time, and Uncle Xiang said that this was a transaction.

And judging from the situation when the two parties get along, the status of these two parties is obviously not equal, Uncle Xiang contributes money and efforts, and the things he asks for must not be ordinary items.

When he mentioned his age, Song Qing could probably guess that people are most afraid of birth, old age, sickness and death, especially people like Uncle Xiang who have walked through the ghost gate before, he will spare his life more than ordinary people.

In other words, if Song Qingxiao guessed correctly, Uncle Xiang's unfinished words may be like this: 'The adults promised me back then to let me live. Or, 'My lord promised me that I would live forever.'" And so on.

Then the question arises again, with Uncle Xiang's life experience, how can he believe that Yichang really has the ability to give him immortality or continue his life?

Unless Uncle Xiang has witnessed a 'miracle' with his own eyes, and this 'miracle' must be closely related to the way of immortality, so according to Uncle Xiang's character, age, and experience, he will be convinced of it.

"How many years ago did Uncle Xiang have an accident?" She asked.

The panicked Pinluo listened to her question, and almost subconsciously replied:

"More than 50 years ago......"

He can't remember the specific time, after all, the age is long, with the passing of the older generation, a few generations later, it is difficult for future generations to tell the real age of the time when the incident happened to Uncle Xiang.

Pinluo only vaguely knew that when Uncle Xiang had an accident, he was still young, only a teenager.

This calculation should have happened more than 50 years ago.

When Song Qingxiao heard this, she pursed the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"Did you notice something was wrong?"

Pinro asked, but she didn't speak.

Uncle Xiang first met the people in the Yulun Void more than fifty years ago, and since then he has found the 'secret path' to enter the Yulun Void Realm and reached a deal with them.

And Yichang should have given Uncle Xiang a promise that he couldn't refuse.

But that was more than 50 years ago, Uncle Xiang went from a teenager to a gray-haired old man, and how old was Yichang more than 50 years ago?

Is it as Uncle Xiang said, this place is beyond the Three Realms, and Heaven and Hell cannot intervene and detain the souls of the people here, so that the people here have the ability to live forever, or is there any secret method in Yichang that can make him immortal and stay young forever?

If this is the case, then some of the previous doubts make sense, such as what Chu Rong said, the number of people in this place is fixed, and there are no tombs.

People here don't grow old or die, so naturally they don't need tombs.

So what is this secret method that can make people immortal, and what does it have to do with the Nine Springs and the Dragon King Sacrifice?

Her gaze went back to the direction of the temple, which Hatsurong had repeatedly mentioned that she could not enter and leave at will, and the attic balcony here happened to be facing the direction of the temple.

The groove that made Pinro feel creepy after looking at it, but she was fascinated by it.

"Song ......" Pinluo saw that she had been silent for a long time, and when she was feeling a little uneasy, she just spoke, and then a girl's surprised crisp voice suppressed his voice:

"Song San!"

Under the attic, the girl who came from the wing room on the right side wore a blue crop top and a pleated skirt embroidered with totems of the same color, and the small bells hanging from her slender waist on the hem of the dress collided with each other, making a crisp sound of 'jingle bells'.

The two trialists, who had been separated since the trial, finally met at this time.
