Chapter 15: The End of the World
Behind me, a fog rose from the crack, and subconsciously, Xiaohu and I turned around and ran.
In the mountains and forests, it was dark at this time, there was no way, we could only run towards the other side of the mountain, the four fields, deserted, a dead silence, a horse lantern became our only lighting tool.
Along the way, I felt chills down my spine until I ran for miles, and that feeling disappeared completely.
This night, Xiaohu and I didn't feel sleepy, and we walked far in the dark, and finally found an abandoned reservoir hut and hid in it and didn't dare to come out.
Early the next morning, the two of us dared to come out, but we were already embarrassed, Xiaohu was in tears, staring at the other side of the mountain, squatting on the ground and crying.
"Brother Asheng, what should we do?" Xiaohu asked.
"Alas, we have no home, and I'm afraid we won't be able to go back." I felt extremely lonely.
Everyone has a home, no matter where they are, they can put their hearts and minds, but now it seems that everything is gone.
In the end, the two of us decided to go to Dongmen Town to find Ermazi, and now we can only continue to explore with this clue.
Luoshui Village, we didn't take another look, in fact, I didn't even have the opportunity to see it, I looked deeply in the direction of the mountain, and thought in my heart: "Uncle, Master De, and Uncle Auntie, don't worry, I Jiangsheng will definitely avenge you." ”
The year was 1965, and it was a moment in my life that I will remember, and perhaps many years later, when I came back again, the place would probably no longer exist.
I put aside the worries in my heart and left this place with Xiaohu.
And this walk is ten years, in the past ten years, I have experienced a lot, and I have grown a lot, of course, the most important thing is that in the people, I have a title, called Jiang Shi, of course, these are all later words.
Leaving Luoshui Village, Xiaohu and I walked dozens of miles of mountain roads on foot, until sunset, when we arrived at Dongmen Town.
Dongmen Town, a prosperous small county town, is different from Luoshui Village, not only big, but also has a strong secular atmosphere, poor me and Xiaohu were dumbfounded when they entered the town.
Because he came in a hurry, he didn't have a penny on him, and he even had blood stains on his face after a long journey, which was even more miserable than a beggar.
To put it bluntly, the two of us were like refugees, and as soon as we entered the town, we were immediately met with rolling eyes.
"Brother Asheng, I'm hungry!" Xiaohu touched his stomach with a look of grievance.
"Stay up, we'll be there later." I'm also anxious in my heart, De Ye is too unreliable, and he doesn't say an accurate address, where to find such a big county.
In this way, the two of us groped in the city for a long time, and it was not until night that we found the largest rice warehouse in the county.
The rice warehouse was almost closed at this time, and there was a fat old man who was about to close the door and rest.
The old man looked quite kind, wore black-rimmed glasses, had two goatees, and had a ruddy complexion.
I took a look, stepped forward and asked, "Is it Ermazi?" ”
When the fat old man heard this, he immediately looked at the two of us: "Little young man, who are you?" ”
I looked at it, absolutely can't be wrong, I have been worried all day, and now I see that I have found the right person, Xiaohu and I are suddenly excited.
"I ...... We were found by Deye. I was incoherent with excitement, and the fat old man was a little suspicious, seeing this, I hurriedly explained: "It's Chen Zhengde, an old eunuch." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the fat old man's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly looked around, and pulled the two of us in: "Remember, don't mention this name before." It's going to be doomed. ”
I didn't understand what that meant, but now that I found the right person, Xiaohu and I also relaxed.
The fat old man looked us up and down, but he didn't dislike us, but closed the door, and then turned on a small lamp inside.
Xiaohu and I haven't eaten all day, and we are embarrassed to beg for it, but we watched with a blank eye, but the fat old man was very knowledgeable, and immediately made us two bowls of noodles.
After eating and drinking, the fat old man, no, it should be said that it was Er Mazi, sat next to us curiously: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
I didn't hide it, I told what happened, after Er Mazi heard it, he was quite emotional, he looked up and sighed, there were tears in his eyes.
"The steward has been in that village for so many years, alas!" Ermazi sighed.
The chief manager is what Master De used to call in the palace, after all, the old guy is also a high-ranking official.
"Uncle Mazi, Master De asked us to come to you...... "I don't know what to say, let him take him in, it seems that people don't have this obligation."
"I know what you're worried about, this rice warehouse is short of people, so stay here." Er Mazi was very enthusiastic, and went into the back room to tidy up a room for us.
At the moment, we are also settled, and when everything settles down, Xiaohu is too tired, so he goes back to the room to rest first, and Er Mazi calls me to a room alone.
"Jiang Sheng, since Master De has passed on the Yin Technique to you, it seems that this creation will also fall on you." Er Mazi looked serious, and then took out a book and gave it to me: "This book is handed down by the ancestors, and it records the techniques of how to deal with evil spirits. ”
I curiously took it and took a look, there were a few words written on it "Hundred Miles of Witchcraft", and a trace of thought suddenly appeared in my heart, since I met Deye, I knew that there are still many dark things in this world.
Let's not say whether it is a ghost or a god for the time being, but at least it is beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.
And now, if I want to take revenge, I must have the ability, just like Master De.
"Uncle Mazi, after learning this, will I be able to deal with Lord Chen?" I asked.
"Well, how easy it is to say, you will know later." Er Mazi said that he was leaving, but when he left the room, he turned his head again and said, "The sword is hidden, and you will go to a place with me tomorrow." ”
In fact, Er Mazi is still a good person, and he didn't expel us because he was ordered by Master De, but on the contrary, he settled us down.
This night, I lay in bed tossing and turning, thinking about the way forward, turning my head to look at the sleeping little tiger next to me, and couldn't help laughing, and at the same time I had an idea in my heart.
Early the next morning, Er Mazi woke up the two of us early, Xiaohu was arranged to help in the rice warehouse, and I followed Er Mazi out of the town, about two kilometers away, to a large warehouse where rice and grain were stored.
It was a large barn fenced off by two old men.
I don't know what Er Mazi brought me here for, and it wasn't until I entered it that Er Mazi said, "Jiang Sheng, do you know why I want you to come to this place?" ”
I shook my head and said I didn't know, who knows, I'm not a god.
Er Mazi pointed to one of the big warehouses and said, "There is a dragon vein buried under this, that is, a royal treasure." ”
I stared blankly at my feet, and my heart was stunned: "Treasure, isn't it, this is not a palace, let alone a tomb." ”
Er Mazi smiled: "This is what Master De said, telling us to stay here, saying that someone will come here in the future to open the secret of the treasure." ”
As he spoke, Er Mazi looked me up and down, I shuddered, and suddenly understood, it turned out that the so-called creation was this.
All of a sudden, I slandered De Ye again, the old guy has never had a good thing, let me do the work of digging people's graves, isn't this a pit for me, whether it is a dragon vein or not, just by this one, I feel that my life is already full of stains.
"Uncle Mazi, can I not want it?" I was speechless.
"No! Er Mazi said in an unquestionable tone: "If you want to take revenge, you must go down." ”
It seems that I can't hide from this, and I feel quite aggrieved in my heart, so I have no choice but to stay.
According to Er Mazi, this underground tomb is built according to the side door Dunjia, there are many mechanisms, and there is a time limit, you can only enter for an hour, to put it bluntly, the probability of death has reached 90%.
Er Mazi was afraid that I would run away, so he locked me in a small dark room.
It was only in the evening that the fat man released me and took me to the warehouse.
It was full of food, and during the day two old men also came over, dressed in black and with serious expressions.
In the far corner of the big warehouse, there is a stone platform, Ermako walked aside, pressed it gently, and there was a clicking sound from the stone platform, I was also very curious, but more worried.
"Remember, listen to the eldest and second when you go in." Ermazi said.
I looked back at these two old men, and muttered, why did I take this name, but these two old men are not smiling, and they are also boring, no way, I have to walk up to the stone platform, and then look inside, this look is not tight, I am immediately scared to the legs.
