Now it was our turn to change faces, and I hurriedly asked, "What did you say...... It's all true? ”

Uncle Chen nodded, took out Lin Yuanzhang's identity card from the rag bag, and rubbed it in his hand, his face full of sadness. Then he said to me: "When the fire broke out yesterday, you desperately saved the backpack for the old man, and then brought back the relics of the senior brother, I think you already know the identity of our waiting." ”

Hearing this, I nodded and said: "Senior, you and Senior Lin both have an identity card, in addition to engraved with your name, there is also the word 'Zhengqian', although I don't know the meaning of Zhengqian, but I also know that this must be a branch of my Shenzhou Xuanmen, you and Lin Yuanzhang's predecessors are both Xuanmen cultivators." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Uncle Chen looked at me in surprise: "I didn't expect you to know Xuanmen, you are right, my senior brother and I are both from Xuanmen, that is, the Taoist priests in your mouth, um... No......" Uncle Chen suddenly stopped when he said this, and then stared at me with an unkind face, and shouted: "Since you know the Xuanmen, how can you not know the Zhengqian faction?" Say, "Who are you?" ”

As he spoke, Uncle Chen quickly reached out and clasped it on my neck, and the strength of his hand was extremely strong, almost comparable to the strength of the zombie that had choked my neck before.

The old man's movements were not at all symptomatic, and he started very quickly, I didn't have time to react at all, but the doctor was not a vegetarian, and when he saw the old man's sudden difficulty, the doctor also grabbed Uncle Chen's hand.

"Huh! What a force! The moment the doctor grabbed his hand, Uncle Chen was shocked, looked at the doctor in surprise, and then the hand around my neck lightened a little force.

The doctor's face sank like water, stared at Uncle Chen and said calmly: "Uncle Chen, I respect you as a senior elder, we are already very respectful to you, but what do you mean now?" The journalist family is also related to you, and it is not unusual to know this, so please let it go. ”

When he said this, the doctor could not see any waves on his face, and even the tone of his voice was very gentle, but it sounded like a kind of fear from the heart, as if he did not do what he said, and something very terrible would happen in the next second.

Uncle Chen was old, but he was obviously also shocked by the doctor's momentum, I saw a look of disbelief flashing on his wrinkled old face, and then he really let go of his hand, I was pinched uncomfortably, and I didn't have the heart to observe the old man's expression at this time, holding my throat and coughing.

"Thanks!" The doctor's expression remained unchanged, but he still thanked him, which was regarded as giving Uncle Chen a step.

"Humph!" At this time, Uncle Chen had already restrained his surprise, snorted coldly, and then looked at me again, and asked nonchalantly: "What he just said, but is it true?" ”

I knew that Uncle Chen was asking about the contact between my family and Xuanmen, although he didn't have a good impression of this old man, but he didn't want to stiffen the relationship, so he nodded and replied: "Yes, my grandmother's surname is Miao, her name is Miao Fengxian, and my third uncle is the deputy director of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau......

I originally thought that Uncle Chen might not recognize the name of my grandmother, but if I reported the title of the third uncle, this old guy should always know, right? Since the Zhengqian faction belongs to the Xuanmen, it is under the control of the Taoist Association, and the third uncle's department is very close to them, and these people should have heard more or less of his name.

However, before I finished speaking, Uncle Chen showed a very surprised expression, interrupted my words, and said in surprise: "The Miao Fengxian you are talking about, is it not the holy daughter of the Si Yang Witch Gu lineage, Miao Immortal Gu?" ”

I didn't expect Uncle Chen to know my grandmother, and looking at his appearance, it seems that what he cares about most is not the deputy director of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau of the third uncle, but my old lady who lives in seclusion in the barren mountains and wild villages all the year round.

"If you say that Miao Xiangu is also from Si Miao Miao Village, then it should be right, she is my grandmother."

Looking at Uncle Chen's shocked expression, a sense of happiness suddenly rose in my heart, and after getting my affirmative reply, Uncle Chen stared at me stunned for a while, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and sighed: "Providence, this is really providence, senior brother, you are right, you are right!" ”

At this time, we were all stunned, we didn't understand what Uncle Chen meant, just wanted to ask, Uncle Chen had already returned to normal, looked at me and said, "Didn't you just ask me the purpose of coming to Guzhen?" Since you are Miao Xiangu's grandson, it doesn't hurt to tell you this. ”

Uncle Chen's eyes looking at me at this time made me feel a bad feeling in my heart, listening to the meaning of his words, the purpose of his coming to Guzhen seems to have something to do with my grandmother, before I can think about it, Uncle Chen has already begun to speak.

"The cause and effect of this incident is very complex, and if you want to trace it back, you have to start more than 100 years ago."

I frowned, more than a hundred years ago, and more than a hundred years ago, I am now very sensitive to this time period, because of the curse on my body, all the troubles I am facing now come from that time, could it be that what Uncle Chen wants to say is related to the source of the curse that my grandmother told me when she was in her hometown?

Chen Bo continued: "At that time, Shenzhou was burdened by the war, the lives were devastated, and there were too many people who died in vain. After the death of the sword soldier has evolved to a certain extent, there will be strange people who will end the disaster and end the war with war, but the disaster of the spirit medium brewing in the war disaster can be solved by human power. ”

"In troubled times, Xuanmen, as a part of Shenzhou, naturally can't sit idly by and watch the chaos happen, but Xuanmen has its own way of guarding the world, soldiers are conscripted, and Xuanmen disciples are to eliminate evil and defend the way, and solve the evil caused by the war everywhere, although it is hard, but it can still be supported, until the birth of the largest cult at that time, everything has been changed."

Part of the content of Uncle Chen's next narration is something I am familiar with, that is, I heard it from my grandmother and Sister Bailing. The cult he was referring to was the predecessor of the Heavenly Witch Sect: the Nine Lotus Divine Sect.

The Nine Lotus Divine Cult is in the world, and under the pretext of the doctrine of destroying the world and being reborn, it has tried to cleanse all living beings in Shenzhou and has reached its doctrine of salvation. To this end, they tried to unleash the six gods of the Black Witch, and as a result, they committed heinous evil deeds everywhere.

In order to survive in troubled times, the righteous path of Xuanmen was already struggling, but as a member of the Daomen, how could he sit back and watch the cult cause chaos in Shenzhou, so several of the largest Xuanmen at that time, such as Wudang, Wangwu, Maoshan, Zhengyi, Laoshan and other major factions took the lead, and the entire Daomen of Shenzhou formed an alliance and began the struggle to entangle the Nine Lotus Divine Sect.

The follow-up process is no different from what my grandmother told me, the only difference is that my grandmother narrated this incident from the perspective of the grandfather, while Uncle Chen was from the perspective of the Righteous Path Alliance at that time, but the experience was roughly the same.

The strength of the righteous path has long been greatly damaged because of the war, and the Nine Lotus Divine Sect has received the assistance of the foreign sect forces that invaded Shenzhou at that time, and its strength is in full swing, and the righteous path alliance has been defeated. Although the situation has been leveled, the cult members are ruthless, and their various black witches and evil arts are powerful, and the righteous path is still at a disadvantage.

Just when the situation was not optimistic, the Wudao Alliance received the help of eight people, and it was because of the addition of these eight people that the balance was completely broken, the Nine Lotus Divine Cult was defeated, and the once-prosperous cult was finally uprooted.

Whether it is grandma or Sister Bailing, when talking about the experience of the grandfather, they have not mentioned in detail these eight people who have ended the scourge of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect, I was very curious before, but whether I asked grandma or Sister Bailing afterwards, they couldn't tell clearly, and at this moment, in Uncle Chen's narrative, although the identities of these eight people are equally mysterious, they have a more specific description.

In fact, I have been in contact with the identities of these eight people for a long time, and they have a very loud name: Eight Strange People.

I was very shocked when Uncle Chen said the title of Eight Strange People, the first time I heard about the Eight Strange People was when Fengyang was in distress, the Taoist priest saw the curse of Doom on my arm, and then thought of another person with a similar tattoo, that person, the eldest of the Eight Strange People, the most powerful and the most mysterious young man.

When the Taoist priest first mentioned the Eight Strange People, he gave an example to illustrate the mystery and power of the Eight Strange People, and the person he gave the example at that time was the fourth most powerful god operator among the Eight Strange People, known as the Heavenly Calculation. Eighty years ago, this person calculated that a certain village in southern Gannan would give birth to an immortal bone in fifty years, and arranged the means to eradicate it in advance, and accurately calculated the number of days of his reign after Yuan Shikai became emperor, this unpredictable ability was only ranked fourth among the eight strange people at that time.

The Taoist priest mentioned in detail about the boss of the Eight Strange People, and there was also a strange black line on the man's arm, which, according to rumors, was very similar to mine. It is rumored that that guy eradicated a corpse king in Xiangxi alone two years before the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

According to Uncle Chen, at that time, the Wudao Alliance and the Nine Lotus Divine Sect formed a tug-of-war, but the Nine Lotus Divine Sect always had the upper hand, and they had been secretly planning a shocking conspiracy. Finally, in 1909, the long-planned conspiracy of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect was finally revealed, and the second disaster of resentment broke out in Miao Jiang.

There was a fire in the backyard, and the Miao Jiang Witch Gu, who had formed an alliance with the Central Plains Righteous Path, couldn't sit still, and they were ready to return to Miao Jiang, and that time the disaster of death and resentment also involved two very terrifying existences, a thousand-year-old corpse king associated with the evil eye of the source of evil, and the six-eyed black sky evil god among the six gods of the black witch.

The Nine Lotus Divine Sect's plan to catch the Witch Dao Alliance by surprise and was about to fall into a total rout, when the Eight Strange People appeared, and with their help, the Six-Eyed Black Sky Evil God was resealed, and the eldest of the Eight Strange People was alone to destroy the thousand-year-old corpse king who was ravaging Xiangxi.

The six gods of the Black Witch are the source of the belief of the Nine Lotus God Cult, and the six-eyed Black Sky Evil God that they have worked so hard to summon has been sealed, which is almost devastating to them, and the huge Nine Lotus God Sect has been scattered, and it has been completely defeated in less than half a year, and since then the disaster of the Nine Lotus God Cult has subsided.

At this time, I remembered the same thing that the Taoist priest and I said, the Taoist priest said that the time when the boss of the Eight Strange People killed the Xiangxi Corpse King alone was two years before the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, that is, in 1910. And the boss of the Eight Strange People in Chen Bo's narrative also eradicated a thousand-year-old corpse king who was a disaster in Xiangxi, and the time when the second disaster of death and the appearance of the corpse king was 1909, if you remove the time when they sealed the six-eyed black sky evil god, then the time for the boss of the Eight Strange people to eradicate the corpse king of Xiangxi is almost 1910. From this point of view, what the Taoist priest and Chen Bo said just corroborates each other, which means that the authenticity of this matter is quite high.

But I still don't understand what kind of connection these things can have with the purpose of Chen Bo's visit to Guzhen? So I asked him: "Uncle Chen, I have more or less heard some of what you said, but does it have anything to do with your purpose in the ancient town?" ”

Chen Bo waved his hand at me to tell me not to worry, while he continued: "According to the investigation of the Xuanmen Righteous Path after the fact, whether it is the disaster of death and resentment, or the sudden appearance of the Black Witch Evil God at that time, it is a conspiracy of the Nine Lotus God Sect, and they have a very terrible plan. It is rumored that there are several very terrifying places in this world, which is the node that communicates with hell, and it is very weak, and it is precisely one of these points that the Nine Lotus God Cult has mastered, so that it suddenly caused the disaster of death and resentment when the witch path was holding on to it, and summoned the black witch evil god Six-eyed Black Sky that only exists in hell. ”

"Wait!" Uncle Chen's words reminded me of something else, and I hurriedly interrupted him and asked, "What are you talking about, the node of communication hell?" ”

Maybe my face was too much of the same, Uncle Chen looked at me strangely and nodded, "That's right, this is the result of the Xuanmen Righteous Path since the Nine Lotus Disaster has been traced and deduced, the places where these nodes are located are all forbidden places that the living can't tread, once you enter, there is death or life, even if you are lucky enough to escape, you will be infected with ominousness, and finally die miserably." ”

My heart suddenly jumped wildly, these things that Uncle Chen said were too important to me, and now I seem to know what I experienced the first two times. Underground ruins, Yeling, needless to say the terrible and weird of these two places, these two places that almost cost me my life, it is likely that Chen Bo said that the node of the communication hell is forbidden - the ground!

Uncle Chen definitely couldn't have imagined that he said that these forbidden places that people could not tread, I had already experienced two of them, and I still survived, it is estimated that he regarded my reaction at this time as a normal reaction after hearing these shocking secrets.

Chen Bo continued: "In fact, the Nine Lotus Divine Sect was not completely wiped out back then, and its core members basically disappeared in the end, we guess that they may have hid in Miao Jiang and Southeast Asia back then, changed their appearance, and became the Heavenly Witch Sect. In recent years, they have been thieves and ready to move, and they have started the idea of banning these nodes again, and my Xuanmen Zhengdao has also been secretly playing with them. ”

Speaking of this, he held up the rag bag I brought out from the mirror ancient town, and said with a sad expression: "This bag belongs to my fellow senior brother, a year ago, the senior brother who has been traveling in the earthly world suddenly came with news, saying that a familiar Taoist brother in Maoshan found a suspected forbidden land node, invited him to investigate, and sealed it if necessary, and didn't want to go, so he never came back." ”
