I was sitting on a stool, but when I heard this, I fell off the stool, and the news was so shocking. asked my second uncle: "You say, the old wizard in the air stole the things of the mountain god thirty years ago, a man and a woman, is my Grandma Xiu'e and Zhuo Anu?" ”

The second uncle took out the photo, I didn't know what this photo was just now, but now I completely understand it, the second uncle has already verified it just now, and the old people who experienced the disaster thirty years ago have already identified it, a man and a woman who came at the beginning are Grandma Xiu'e and Zhuo Anu in the photo.

"This!" I disagreed.

The second uncle smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't feel quite right when the wizard was talking, so I came back to verify it, and now everything seems to be strung together in a thread, after my mother and Zhuo Anu left the lock village." Came to this Broken Tail Village, went to the forbidden place, that is, the mountain god's dormitory, and stole the treasure of the mountain god, causing a snake disaster that almost destroyed the village. ”

After that, they couldn't bear it and gave the mountain god a gift. This allowed the villagers to survive in dire straits, if I guessed correctly, the gift to the mountain god was the half of the jade pendant, and it was the half of the jade pendant that made the mountain god angry, and then, things calmed down for thirty years. Who knew that a few months ago, the ground rat and a few of them came here, thinking that the place was a tomb, and went in and dug out the half of the jade pendant given to the snake god, and the mountain god must be angry now, so the old wizard opened his eyes this time, and the disaster is coming again. Everything is related to that half of the jade pendant. The second uncle said.

After speaking, the second uncle looked at me, it was very strange, I knew what he was wondering about, he didn't know the origin of the jade pendant, my father said to him that this is just a more valuable jade pendant handed down by my family, and it was given to Zhuo Anu and Grandma Xiu'e to let them be entangled. But this jade pendant has such a wonderful use here?

"Second uncle, don't look at me, you old man, I also know about the jade pendant in my family." I said.

The second uncle looked at me again. didn't dwell on this topic, but frowned: "I can't even think about this problem now, what I'm most concerned about now is why Zhuo Anu brought my wife here, why did he steal the things of the mountain god, and how did he know that half of the jade pendant can calm the anger of the mountain god." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "To be honest, when I read my grandfather's notes, I also felt that Zhuo Anu was not very normal, and my grandfather said several times in the notes that Zhuo Anu couldn't see through it at all, maybe he was just taking advantage of Grandma Xiu'e. ”

Before I finished speaking, the second uncle slammed his fist on the table and scolded: "I'll kill that bastard sooner or later!" ”

I quickly shut up, for the second uncle, the fact that my biological mother eloped with someone else back then was a reversal of the scales, and it was definitely death if I touched it. I didn't dare to say any more, and after the second uncle walked around the room for a while, he said to me, "You and Jiu Liang stay here first, and I'll go talk to that wizard." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of firecrackers exploding sounded outside, I stretched out my head to look, and smiled bitterly at the second uncle: "Don't look for it, that old man wizard is outside." ”

A few of us went out of the guest house, and the scene we saw was still the same as last night, it seemed to be a sacrificial event, except that last night the wizard sacrificed a few animals, and this time, those with grimace masks, actually carried a man, and in the light of the torches, I saw that it was actually a ground mouse coated with a strange ointment.

"What is this for? Take the ground mouse as a sacrifice?! "I was stunned, although I didn't have a good impression of the ground mouse, but it was a human life after all, wasn't it?

The second uncle shook his head and called the proprietress who was standing not far from us and said, "Big sister, what is this for?" ”

"This boss, I also only learned today that that friend of yours went into the mountain last time, he stole the things of the mountain god, and this time his death was the revenge of the mountain god, and the wizard is now afraid that the mountain god will anger the villagers, and is ready to sacrifice this murderer to the mountain god for forgiveness." The proprietress said.

I listened to a chill, thinking that this kind of human sacrifice was only available in ancient times, and now I actually saw it with my own eyes, but fortunately, this ground mouse is dead, and I can accept it if I don't sacrifice a living person, think about it carefully, this ground mouse can have today, maybe it is also the so-called karma.

We didn't stop it, just followed the sacrificial procession from a distance, wanting to see this strange sacrifice, the sacrificial procession went to the position of the village entrance before stopping, the person carrying the corpse put the corpse of the ground mouse in the mountain pass, the wizard danced around the corpse and watched and even had an inexplicable sense of joy in the dance, the mouth was full of words, and finally burned a handful of yellow talismans and knelt down in the distance, shouting: "Ask the mountain god for forgiveness, the murderer has been subdued, and I am willing to sacrifice to the mountain god!" "Juju Yuba.

Although I can accept that this grave robber's ground mouse was sacrificed like an animal, but I still think that I can go all the way, and after the sacrifice is completed, I will burn the body and find a place to bury it, this guy is not a good person, but the tragic death of a young man is already retribution, the dead are great, how can they be buried in the ground.

But just after the wizard shouted three times to sacrifice, suddenly there were several black lines gushing out in the mountain pass, because it was far away, so it couldn't be seen at all, but it was like a black fog like the appearance of the goblins in Journey to the West.

These black fogs burrowed into the body of the ground mouse, and then, in my stunned eyes, the corpse of the ground mouse lying on the ground slowly stood up on its own!

A corpse stood up at this time, and then walked towards the mountain pass!

I looked at the second uncle and Chen Jiuliang, they are people who have seen the world, but at this time, both of them grew up and looked at this incredible scene, I exclaimed: "Second uncle, is there really a mountain god to say?!" ”

The second uncle nodded lightly and frowned: "There can be yellow-skinned spirits in the lock village, and it's not strange that there are snake spirits here, but the goblins are gods?" I always felt that something was wrong. ”

The corpse of the ground mouse walked into the mountain, and the rest of the people worshiped the mountain god and worshiped the wizard, so to speak, in this Broken Tail Village deep in the mountains, the status of this wizard is much more powerful than He Zhenren in the lock village.

Even I feel that this wizard is more powerful than He Zhenren, blind once in thirty years, and sacrifice the corpse to the beetle, which is something He Zhenren can't do.

It's just that He Zhenren gives me the impression that he is a Taoist priest who destroys demons and defends the Dao, and when I look at that wizard at the moment, I feel that it is a demon Dao, an absolute demon Dao.

--We went back to the guest house for dinner, the second uncle had been uneasy, he said that he must talk to the wizard, I don't worry that he went to see the demon alone and asked Chen Jiuliang to follow him, but he didn't let him, and in the end I could only watch him go alone with worry.

I was left in the room with Jiuliang, the atmosphere was ambiguous and awkward for a while, and I was a little scared because I saw the weird scene and didn't want her to go, so I found a topic to talk about, I asked her: "Jiuliang, do you believe in ghosts and gods?" ”

"Faith." He nodded.

"And what do you think of tonight's events?" I asked, this is a supernatural event that I have seen with my own eyes, and it is even more mysterious than the yellow skin of the lock village.

"Your second uncle is in an unstable state of mind now, I didn't dare to tell him, I believe in ghosts and gods, but I feel that there is something strange about this matter, and there is something wrong with that wizard." Jiuliang said.

"What's the problem? I said, auntie, you said. I asked.

"--Of course this is my guess, did you see the potion he made at the wizard's house today? I don't know what kind of herbs it is, but I know that nature is mysterious, and animals and plants have a certain relationship, so I'm assuming that those herbs are herbs that can attract the attention of snakes, then everything is easy to explain. ”

"The wizard painted the corpse with the smell that the snake likes, and then attracted the snake, so the black fog we see is actually a snake, and the snake got into the body of the ground mouse to control it, and then moved, and you wouldn't feel strange if you saw the corpse of the ground mouse in the morning, right?" Chen Jiuliang asked me.

I was so surprised by this little girl that I could only nod.

"So the death of the ground rat is not the revenge of some snake, if you guess correctly, it was the fragrance that was smeared on his body, the strange fragrance of the herb, it was this that made him lose his life." Chen Jiu said.

I was dumbfounded.
