Chapter 3: The Root of the Curse

I looked at my grandmother in disbelief, my mind almost went blank, the news was so damn amazing.

After being stunned for a long time, I came to my senses, took a deep breath to calm myself, and in order to make sure that it was not my ear that was wrong, I asked again in a trembling voice: "Grandma, don't be kidding, my uncles...... Isn't it really your own? ”

Grandma looked at me with a complicated expression and asked, "What, you don't believe it?" ”

I nodded, and said to myself, how can I believe it, but I have lived with them for twelve years, and my entire childhood memories are basically made up of these people, and I have never suspected that they are not my relatives. If I were told that one of the three of them was not my own uncle, I would have grudgingly accepted it, but I really couldn't believe that none of them were any.

"It's true!" Grandma sighed, her eyes cloudy, as if recalling the past, "Your uncle, I picked it up a year before I got married to your grandfather, when I was wandering around with your grandfather, when I met him, he was still in swaddling clothes, his family was starving to death, he was about to starve to death, your grandfather and I couldn't bear it for a while, so we rescued him." Later, when we returned to the village, your grandmother saw that we were carrying a baby, so she misunderstood us and forced us to get married......

Speaking of her youth, grandma seems to have returned to that youthful time, with a happy smile on her face. I'm very yearning for this kind of bridge that can only be found in the middle, but at this moment, it is important to find out the background of several uncles.

Grandma shook her head and let out a long sigh. From the time I entered the room with my grandmother until now, she had sighed so many times, and it seemed that at her age, sighing had become commonplace. She continued: "When your uncle was four years old, that is, three years after I married your grandfather, I had your father, and about two years later, an old friend of your grandfather got into trouble and entrusted his child who was less than half a year old to us, and then the old friend lost news, and the child was adopted by your grandfather, that is, your third uncle. ”

In fact, when I got here, I already believed what my grandmother said, but if this is the case, our vein is really in danger! In addition to my father, there is only one seedling left, and now I am entangled by that strange curse, if it weren't for my life when I entered Yeling this time, I'm afraid I would have died, if I died, wouldn't the old Zhang family be the last one?

I knew that my grandmother wouldn't lie to me, but I still didn't want to believe that this would be the case, so I hurriedly asked, "What about the fourth uncle, isn't there still a fourth uncle?" ”

Grandma glanced at me, shook her head, and said lightly: "Your fourth uncle is ten years younger than your uncle, and when I adopted your fourth uncle, your grandfather had been missing for four years. ”

Now I am completely dead, the fourth uncle is indeed very young, in his thirties, not much older than me, pay a little attention to it, I know that he can't be born to my grandmother.

Grandma's expression was complicated, ignoring my loss, and then said: "The ancestor of the Zhang family who came out of the Ghost Turning Ridge back then was your grandfather. When he returned from the Central Plains, he brought back dozens of masters of Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains. After that, he didn't even have time to explain the aftermath, so he led the group of people into the Ghost Ridge again, and this time, there was no more news. Fortunately, several people who came out of the Ghost Ridge with your grandfather were settled in Miaojiang by him, and your grandmother was already pregnant with your grandfather. ”

My eyes widened in disbelief. Although a series of strange things have changed my worldview recently, so that I have to believe in ghosts and gods, but what my grandmother said is too shocking, the war between people and ghosts, and it is also a war between people and ghosts involving the entire Miao River, who will believe it? However, what my grandmother said was so realistic that even my grandfather was involved, and even disappeared because of it, even if I didn't believe it all, there were some traces in my heart.

However, these curses still have nothing to do with me, and besides, the curses on my body were contracted when I entered Yeling when I was twelve, and the root cause should be Yeling.

This time, I didn't wait for my grandmother's slow explanation, and directly said the doubts in my heart.

After listening to my words, my grandmother sighed again: "Xiaoyi, do you know where your grandfather went back then?" ”

"Where to go? Didn't Grandpa die of illness? I asked suspiciously, I heard the old man say that my grandfather died when he was three years old, although I didn't believe it at the time, who remembered the events when he was three years old, but I couldn't be sure that my grandmother told him later, this kind of thing, I have no interest in doubting, and now listening to my grandmother say this, I suddenly have some doubts.

Grandma smiled, her smile a little bitter, "It would be strange if he was really dead, but now it is no different from dead." Grandma's words were even more weird, and I was busy asking why.

Grandma didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it from me, and after thinking about it for a while, she turned to look at the three tablets on the table in the hall, and said slowly: "Your grandfather, grandfather, are all here, it's just ...... They only have tablets, no graves, because, until now, I have not been able to find their bodies! ”

Today's surprise was enough, and I was basically a little numb, but as my grandmother's words fell, I stood up, and my eyes stared at the two black tablets on the table in disbelief, and my heart had already turned upside down.

"What the hell is going on?" My eyes were still staring at the black spiritual position, and vaguely, I felt as if I was approaching a shocking secret, a nervous, anxious, but also fearful emotion, slowly enveloping me.

Grandma looked at me with a strange expression on her face, an indescribably strange expression, hesitation, reluctance, and even some fear. I don't know what kind of secret could make my grandmother look like that, but I've said it for my sake, and I'm sure she'll not hide it from me anymore.

As I expected, in the next hour or so, my grandmother revealed a big secret to me, although I had already guessed some clues in the conversation just now.

The ghost turns over the ridge, in fact, it is Yeling! It's just that more than 100 years ago, the name of Ghost Ridge was more well-known.

The legend of calamity, that is, the written record of the disaster of death, the legend is that the Ghost Ridge is a Jedi discovered by Miao Wu that should not exist in the world. My grandmother told me that the first person to discover the ghost was my grandfather.

When the first disaster of resentment broke out, it was at the time of the Great War between the Central Plains Righteous Path Alliance and the Nine Lotus Divine Sect, and the Central Plains Righteous Path was at an absolute disadvantage, and was suppressed by the Nine Lotus Divine Sect so much that it could not breathe.

The master followed his master to Miao Jiang to seek an opportunity for the union of witches and Taos, and he didn't want Miao Jiang to break out in the disaster of resentment, and it was difficult to protect himself. In order to seek cooperation, the master ran around with the master, contacting the hidden masters of both sides of the witch road to deal with the disaster of resentment, after the disaster subsided, thanks to the help of the master of the master, and the shadow of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect behind the disaster of resentment, Miao Jiang naturally became an ally of the Central Plains Righteous Path Alliance.

Later, the Wudao alliance thwarted the conspiracy of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect, the cult collapsed, the Wudao turned against him, and the grandfather was unwilling to participate in the internal fighting, so he left the Central Plains with the grandmother and settled in Miaojiang. I also mentioned what happened after that, the grandmother was originally the descendant of the goddess of the seedling village, and she was not allowed to marry, but the grandfather and grandmother were in love, so they broke away from their camp and settled in Wawu Village.

As mentioned earlier, the predecessor of Dingyan Village was Wawu Village, and Wawu Village was slaughtered by the Nine Lotus Divine Sect when the grandfather and grandmother arrived, and it was here that the grandfather met Lan. Because of the heinous sacrificial evil deeds of the Nine Lotus God Sect, the Taiye discovered the existence of Yeling. At that time, Yeling was not called Yeling, but called Ghost Turning Ridge, because there were too many evil ghosts gathered in the forest at that time, and the forest as a whole looked very much like a rice bucket turned over, so it was called Ghost Turning Ridge.

At the beginning, the grandfather found that something happened when the ghost turned the ridge, which made the grandfather have a great fear of the ghost turning the mountain, and then the master took root in Dingyan Village and told the people in the village that the ghost turning the ridge is a forbidden place, and if you enter it, you will suffer great misfortune, and you must not go in.

After the second disaster of resentment subsided, the grandfather and a large number of people from Miao Jiang who participated in the pacification of the disaster of resentment disappeared, in fact, it was because the master found that the source of the disaster came from the ghost mountain when the second disaster of death and resentment broke out, so after the disaster subsided, in order to cut off the root cause of the disaster, the grandfather contacted those people to enter the ghost mountain together to eliminate the trouble, but I didn't expect that this time it would be six years, and there were only a few people left who went in together.

Since then, the bold and uninhibited grandfather's personality has changed drastically, and he has become extremely silent, and even his best friend is difficult to talk to. Half a year later, the master brought back a group of masters from the Central Plains and entered the Ghost Ridge again, and there has been no news since.

It is said that the Zhang family should have been left behind, but fortunately, the grandmother was already pregnant with her grandfather when she came out with the grandfather, and then she did not follow the grandfather into the ghost ridge, which saved the only blood of the Zhang family. This is a good thing, after giving birth to her grandfather, Grandma Tai left Miaojiang with the two children who came out of the Ghost Ridge together.

It stands to reason that things have a good ending at this point, but ten years later, grandma and grandpa suddenly returned to Dingyan Village. And the reason why she came back was because something happened to her grandfather.

At that time, the young grandfather and grandmother settled in other places, and it is said that in Tibetan areas far away from the war, strange things happened when the grandfather was eight years old.

I couldn't wake up and was riddled with nightmares, these were not just haunting me, my grandfather, who was younger than me, also experienced this. And he also has the symptoms of provoking evil things, but whenever it is night, as long as he sees the moonlight, there will inevitably be a great calamity.
