Chapter 222: The Origin of Muji Village
Millennial flowers bloom on the other side
The evil dragon crosses the village of Kiyoshi
It only takes a few minutes for these spooky flowers to grow and bloom.
At the moment when those vein-like meridians were covered with petals, those flowers suddenly bloomed. They are beautiful, so beautiful that it is difficult to describe them in adjectives, the huge petals are like the wings of angels and elves, gently swaying in the wind, the white light is like the most beautiful holy place of time, attracting all the creatures of this underground world, its fragrance is like the highest perfume, so that everyone who smells it will never forget.
But there is another side to all things beautiful, and what is the other side of this white flower like a holy fairy?
It's death!
It's killing!
The most brutal and inhuman killing.
Because the stamens of these white flowers are none other than corpses that have been drained of their essence.
Their bodies were shriveled and blackened, and every drop of water on their bodies seemed to have been sucked dry by the vines of this ancient tree, and there was this layer of milky white liquid on the surface of these dried corpses, and I don't know if it was the nectar secreted by this flower, or the corpse oil from these corpses.
These dried corpses in the stamens of the flowers had hideous faces, some stretched out with one hand, some with both hands, some stuck their throats, and some held their heads with both hands, so it looked as if they had been sucked away by this strange flower in an instant.
The scent of flowers spreads quickly under the influence of the wind, and by the moment they turn around, they are all over the abyss.
Many unknown birds and beasts and large bats, after smelling this fragrance, began to rush towards the ancient tree in groups.
There are even a lot of desert rats and sand pythons in the team.
If these guys met in normal times, it was estimated that there would be a life-and-death battle for survival, but at this time, they didn't seem to see each other at all, and just ran towards the ancient tree with their hearts.
Seeing these guys coming, the vines that had been clinging to the ancient trees on the rock wall seemed to come to life in an instant, and they rolled their thick bodies towards the herd of birds and beasts.
Those birds and beasts did not dodge, let those arm-thick vines roll around their bodies, and what was unexpected was that those birds and beasts were absorbed by the vines in an instant after touching the vines, and a few seconds later, a light blue mushroom grew where the birds and beasts disappeared.
The pale blue mushroom turned into a large white flower in a matter of seconds, and the flower bloomed, and the shriveled body of the bird and beast leaked out.
After Xiao Liu and Huang Duoduo smelled the strange fragrance of those strange flowers, they couldn't help but show an inexplicable smile on their faces, and at the same time, they couldn't help but run towards the ancient tree under their feet.
Seeing this, Father Zhao immediately knocked the big cigarette pouch on the wall, then poured the gray-white cigarette ash in the cigarette pouch pot on the palm of his hand, and then inserted the cigarette pouch into his waist with his backhand, bit his index finger to let the blood mix with the cigarette ash, and smeared it under the noses of Xiao Liu and Huang Duoduo respectively.
The two of them suddenly felt a scorched smell rushing to their nostrils, and after sneezing four or five times in a row, they woke up from the fantastic dream.
"This ...... What's going on? Xiao Liu rubbed his nose vigorously and said.
"You were eroded by the pollen of this pillar of white flowers, and you almost became flower fertilizer." Daddy Zhao said.
"White Flowers?" Huang Duoduo asked in surprise.
"That's right." Father Zhao looked at the ancient tree and those weird flowers and said: "According to legend, the flowers on the other side bloom for a thousand years and fall for a thousand years, and the flowers and leaves will never be seen. ”
"Legend has it that this flower only blooms in Huangquan and is the only scenery on Huangquan Road." Xiao Liu looked at those white flowers and said, "Flowers on the other side, flowers bloom on the other side." The flower on the other side is the flower that blooms on the road of the Yellow Spring, where a large number of flowers bloom in large quantities, it looks like a carpet paved with blood from a distance, so some people call it the road of fire, and legend has it that people are walking on the guidance of this flower to the hell of the netherworld. But why are the flowers on the other side here white? ”
"Because they absorb the essence of the dragon, that's why they become this color." Father Zhao looked at the ancient tree and said word by word: "Since the flowers are blooming on the other side, then we really don't have much time, let's go quickly." ”
"Let's go? Where to go? Huang Duoduo asked in surprise.
"To get the Toth disc, of course." Father Zhao looked at Huang Duoduo and said.
The Toth Disk, which is the name given to it by later people, means the mirror of death.
But was it really called that?
Naturally not.
So, what should it be called?
Perhaps time has not only made people forget its existence, but also made most people in the world forget its original name.
However, if there is one more person in this world who knows, then this person may be the Ghost Gate Song.
There was silence on the chair of the Ghost Gate Song for a long time, then he patted the iron lock Zhang, took a cigarette from his hand, Liu Junxiao drew a match and lit it for him, the Ghost Gate Song took a big puff, and after a while he said slowly: "The Heavenly Mirror." ”
"The armillary mirror? What is that? Li Suna asked from the side.
"If your son goes to Muji Village, then what they're looking for should be the Armillary Mirror." Ghost Gate Song said word by word.
"What is he looking for that thing for?" Liu Junxiao asked.
"You really don't know anything?" Ghost Gate Song asked a little surprised.
"I hope Brother Song informs." Liu Junxiao said.
"Well, then I'll tell you everything I know." Ghost Gate Song Chang sighed and said.
According to legend, this Muji Village was not called Muji Village at the earliest, but was called Guolong Village, and then changed its name to Beixin Village at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why this place is called Guolong Village is because the residents who live here have seen dragons more than once.
According to legend, the dragon was a behemoth with nine heads, and every time it appeared, it would be overwhelmed by black clouds and violent winds, bringing great disasters to the inhabitants of the area.
In the local legend, this guy has a dragon body and a human head, and the nine heads are men and women, old and young, it not only eats people, but also absorbs all the local water cleanly, turning the dealer into dry grass, drying up the river, desertifying the land, and turning the rich land where the grass grows and warblers fly into a barren desert.
In order to be able to hold on to their homes, the people of the dragon village invited the Taoist to open the altar every time the dragon crossed, and offered 20 boys and girls as sacrifices to the dragon to protect the safety of the village.
This situation lasted until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, one day Liu Bowen led the army to quell the border rebellion after passing by here, saw that the world was shocked here, then strangled the reins of the horse, after dismounting Liu Bowen made a divination on a stone, and found that the dragon heart was located under the dragon village here.
Immediately, he ordered people to turn the team and march straight to Guolong Village.
And when Liu Bowen arrived, it happened that the giant dragon was haunting and devouring the sacrifices offered by the people of Long Village.
Liu Bowen immediately stopped him and asked about the origin of the dragon. The dragon calls itself the Nine Infants, which is an ancient divine beast, which was sealed in the fierce water of Beidi during the period of Emperor Yao, and then escaped from the deep mountains and evil waters to return to the world due to the great changes in the heavens and the earth.
When Liu Bowen heard this, he made a bet with the Nine Babies of the Evil Dragon, saying that he could not swallow nine hundred and nine living people in one day. The evil dragon Jiuying laughed wildly, laughing at Liu Bowen for not understanding its powerful power, Liu Bowen didn't answer, just sneered, Jiuying was enraged, and immediately agreed to Liu Bowen's bet.
Liu Bowen set the date on the same day a month later, and Jiuying turned around and left, but it didn't know that this was a ploy set up by Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen ordered people to find the armillary mirror that Yao used to suppress the nine babies of the evil dragon from the Shanbai Mountain, and ordered people to make 999 straw men, put on the clothes of the villagers, poured black dog blood, and at the same time grinded the flower seeds of the other side into powder and dotted on the eyebrows of the straw man.
A month later, the evil dragon nine babies really went to the appointment on time, and saw that the village entrance was full of people, and without saying a word, he opened his mouth and sucked all those straw men into his belly, and suddenly the wind near Long Village was fierce, but it didn't know that this was Liu Bowen's plan.
After those straw men were sucked into their stomachs by it, the sky fell apart in an instant, and countless arm-thick iron chains came out of thin air to firmly locate the nine babies of the evil dragon in the abyss, and at the same time, the flowers on the other side of the straw man's eyebrows also took root and sprouted, breaking through the belly of the nine babies in the blink of an eye, and taking root in the abyss.
Jiu Ying knew that he had been tricked, and struggled hard, and eight of the nine heads barely escaped, but it was too late for the deepest one to escape, and he could only be chained in the bottomless abyss.
Seeing that the plan was successful, Liu Bowen ordered someone to change into his own clothes and go deep underground with an armillary mirror to suppress the remaining evil dragon.
Before leaving, Liu Bowen had promised the evil dragon that when the village became old, it would be the day it came out, but this was also Liu Bowen's plan, because when Liu Bowen walked out of the underground, he ordered someone to change the name of the village from Guolong Village to Beixin Village, which means a village that will never become old.
In addition, Liu Bowen also built a huge well in the center of the village, where the dragon's heart was, and laid eight copper rings the size of water tanks around the eight hexagram eyes for bolting iron chains, and also built a bluestone slab on the well, and put a unicorn on the stone slab, called the coffin beast.
At this point, there are no more evil dragons in this realm.
It was not until 1963 that the wave of breaking the four olds poured into all parts of the motherland, and Beixin Village also followed with a large-scale anti-four-old trend, many young soldiers who did not believe in evil and local residents smashed the coffin beast on the top of the stone well, and dragged the iron chain out with a truck, but what people didn't expect was that those iron chains could not be dragged to the head, and after dragging about 20 meters, suddenly a puff of black smoke like ink suddenly rose from the well, and then the iron chains with the thickness of their arms began to retreat by themselves. Even the military trucks, which were moving at full speed, were dragged back. At the same time, the ancient well began to constantly reflect the black water, the well water was as black as ink, and it was fishy and smelly, and everyone who smoked it couldn't stop vomiting.
In desperation, the officers on duty could only give up the operation, and the most terrifying thing was that in the next less than three days, all the people involved in the operation at that time began to appear abnormal and died violently, and 80% of them committed suicide by throwing themselves into the well.
The incident soon became known to the local government leaders, who immediately ordered a halt to the destruction of the ancient well in Beixin Village, and withdrew the deployed troops and all local residents.
It was also from that time that Kitashin Village was renamed Muji Village, which means an unlucky village.
