Next Chapter

Outside the window, the vast and open fields and plains, the upright and lush trees, and the mountains looming in the distance, have already appeared in the line of sight, and then whizz away in the blink of an eye, and the scenery outside the window is like a flowing landscape, flashing with active beauty everywhere, like a slowly unfolding ink painting.

Sitting on the green train, I flipped through the notes in my hand, this notebook has been a little yellow, and the cover has long been rotten, it seems that it has been some years.

Looking out the window, my father's words before leaving came to mind: "I'm sorry, I've bothered you." ”

And the mother's sentence: "It's all our fault, child, I shouldn't have brought you into this world." ”

In the world, there are really some things that we don't know and don't know, and sometimes even though we don't believe in evil, there are times when we ...... You have to believe.

My name is Gao Ziyun, I am twenty-four years old this year, in my father's words, there is a family tree in the family, and in the middle of my generation's name is Zi, why is it a cloud, he wants me to float like a cloud, don't stop, stop, it will be easy to disperse.

To tell you the truth, I didn't understand the meaning of his words until that year, when I was thirteen years old, I suddenly felt that my palms were very itchy, itching terribly, and when I came home, I spread out my palms, and there was something like a red mole in the middle, although I didn't feel anything after feeling this itch, but that day, I heard my father shutting himself in the bedroom, crying loudly, and saw my mother's trembling and even frightened eyes.

I don't know, why they are like this, after three years, I itched again, that time, my whole arm began to itch, but I didn't say it, I was afraid, afraid that my parents would be in pain again, although I don't know why, and then later, once every two years, once a year, the last seizure, my whole upper body was a little unbearable, that feeling of dying, although I haven't taken drugs, but, I think maybe this is the feeling, and the red moles on my hands are now three.

My father works in a factory, a lumber mill, my father has a wonderful knife work, and the carved works of art are very valuable, and my mother is a cadre of the city's cultural bureau, so it can be said that my family conditions are very good.

However, since that time, the two of them have become very mysterious, often on business trips, until, last year, my father died mysteriously, why is it bizarre, because my father's colleague told me that that day, my father was smoking, stunned, and suddenly fell to the ground, on the hospital bed, looked at me, and said very painfully: "I'm sorry, I have troubled you." "I haven't opened my eyes yet.

Because of my father's death, my mother's painful expression every time I saw the red mole on my palm, I couldn't bear the blow, and in the first two months, I also left, committed suicide, and the doctor said that I was depressed and stressed.

Close my eyes, try not to let myself continue to remember, all this, like a mystery, until, I found this notebook, or rather, not a discovery, but my parents deliberately let me find it, on it, in addition to the notes, there are also letters left to me by my parents, I don't know, why didn't my mother tell me personally, but in this way, is it afraid that I will blame them?

smiled bitterly, thinking of his life experience, it was really a bit mysterious, all of this had to start a long, long time ago.

In ancient times, Emperor Yan established the Qi Kingdom, that is, Chuli, and later came from the fief of Sun Dayou, a descendant of Emperor Yao in ancient times. "Chu", because there is an ancient Chushui name (now turbidity Zhang River). Ancient Chuli is located in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain, there are many mountains and few rivers, because ancient Chuli is not only the earliest place to see the sunrise in this area in ancient times, but also the place where the earliest cultivation and planting of the rice (Li rice, yellow sticky rice, sticky millet seed), and its author's skin color is dark, so it is also called "棃", and later unified as "Li".

During the Shang Dynasty, Yao's descendant Sun Dayou was divided into ancient Chuli, and his clan was called "Chuli" and "Li Fang". By the late Yin Shang period, the country inherited by the descendants of Dayou was called the Lihou State, which was a vassal state of the Yin Shang. According to the genealogy of the Li family, the Shang Dynasty moved the capital to Yin, and Geng sealed his cousin Wenkui in the southwest of Shanxi to establish a local state - Li State, also known as the Pear State, the surname of the child, and the Marquis State.

Of course, these are what I saw from my father's notebook, the experience of the Li country is very bumpy, the people have migrated around, and there is a prince king in the Li country, has always believed in evil arts, according to the records in historical legends, he found the descendants who are said to be Chi You at that time, that is, the current Miao people, and Chi You has always been regarded as an ancestor by the Miao people, this prince and king were obsessed with evil magic Gu art all their lives, and built a huge mausoleum after his death, and let his eighteen personal guards with their family relatives to protect them from generation to generation, children and grandchildren, are guarding this mausoleum, unknown to the world, and living in seclusion for generations.

And I, the descendants of these eighteen guardians, for thousands of years, the people in the village have lived a relatively peaceful life, of course, there are also many descendants who yearn for the outside life, but the clan rules are strict, but there are still people who have escaped from the mountains, one escapes, naturally there is a second, the third, more and more, but, within a few years, they have fled back one after another, and they are very frightened, that is, the blood curse.

Once they leave the mausoleum, these people will appear to be swallowed by a curse, and their bodies will be strange, and the farther away they are, the faster the curse will be, until the tragic death of several of them, and the rest of them will realize that the ancient legend is true, and they will flee back to the mountains to seek refuge, but it still has no effect, only to prolong the date of death.

For so many years, the ancestors of the village were not resigned to fate, they were looking for various ways, in fact, this is normal, they have been guarding for thousands of years, any fate should have been completed, the ancestors have been looking for a way to save themselves from generation to generation, but they have failed, they have tried to intermarry, look for elixir, and even open their stomachs to find the root of the curse, but they have failed, no matter what, as long as there is a bloodline inheritance, the curse will continue, as long as you leave the surrounding area of the mausoleum, the curse will attack.

I remembered the scene before my father's death, I knew, for so many years, how my father endured that pain, back to my father's notebook, my father was eighteen years old when he went up the mountain to pick herbs, met my mother, she was a member of a scientific research expedition at that time, separated from the scientific expedition team, that time science and technology was not developed, a lot of equipment was not available, after being injured in the mountains met my father.

In this way, the father gave the mother herbs, and carefully healed, and many novel plots are very similar, they fell in love with each other, the mother was taken back to the village by the father, although the people in the village often go to the outside world to purchase, in exchange for survival resources, but do not allow outsiders to live in the village, so, the father was very severely reprimanded, and their love, was not recognized by the clan, and was hindered, so, the father eloped with the mother, escaped from the mountains, to the outside world, at that time, His father's martial arts are also considered to be outstanding among the younger generation and even the older generation, no one can stop him, what his father thinks is that as long as he can be with his mother, even if he is cursed to death, he will admit it.

However, my father couldn't imagine the curse, in order not to worry my mother, he hid the curse, just said that he didn't want children, but what he didn't expect was that my mother was pregnant, and when I was pregnant in April, my father found out that my mother had told me that my father was very angry at the time, and my mother didn't know the details, she was very afraid, and she felt that my father's whole person had changed, like an angry beast, so my mother ran away, and three months later, my father found her, but it was too late, At that time, it was very dangerous to kill a child after being pregnant for more than seven months, and such inhumane things were not allowed in society at that time.

So, I was born, and until I was thirteen, my father was nervous, but he didn't see the curse appear, and he settled down until he was thirteen.

A few days before my mother left, she suddenly found me and told me a lot of things that she knew later, some of which my father said, some of which she had verified herself, and in short, a lot of information, and she told me that there were a lot of materials and files, all of which were stored in a cabinet in her office, so that I could have time to look at them, and finally told me that I must go back to the village, and that I knew what she was worried about, that it was my life.

Just after my mother left, I set foot back to the place where my ancestors lived, I decided to take a look, although there are information files left by my mother, but I still decided to go back to the mountains to see what is going on, as for the curse, maybe I am still young, I don't care much, the gradual development of medicine, makes me feel that such an evil thing, it is difficult to accept.

I just graduated from college less than a year ago, studying civil engineering, but I didn't succeed in my studies, I was half-baked, it was not easy to find a job, anyway, I was very idle, I went back, not because I was afraid of death, but because I wanted to untie the knot in my heart, find an explanation for my father and mother, and also, I wanted to help those people in the mountains.

And, since I was a child, I have followed my father to practice martial arts all year round, this kind of martial arts, which cannot be seen on TV, and it is difficult to meet even in reality, in my father's words, this is the real martial arts, and it is handed down from ancient times, and it continues to change from generation to generation, it is the origin of Chinese martial arts, I don't study well, but I have a good talent for learning martial arts, and my father said at the time that at my age, he can't compare to me.
