Chapter 35: The Guardians
The stone door, which is also a rock, is tightly closed, and some strange patterns are carved on the top of the stone door. It looks like a nine-headed strange snake, and it looks like a big bird flying in the sky. The shape is indescribably weird. An arched door. On both sides are dense bamboo forests. A gust of wind blew and rustled.
Luo Lantian took him to the stone gate, only to see him press the stone door. The stone door rumbled open. A strong white light shone through the stone door.
He faintly saw a spiral staircase, with white steps, leading to the top of the cemetery. This design is quite unique. Since the top of the stone gate is a cemetery, it is very ventilated, and there is no damp smell at all, but there is a gust of cold wind from the top of the cemetery. It made him shiver after shiver.
It was also the first time that Cheng Nuopho had seen a cemetery with this design. "Lan Tian, did the people in your village come up with this design?"
Luo Lantian turned his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Hmm! It is designed to prevent tomb robbers from robbing tombs. Seventeen years ago, there was a tomb robbery here, and then it was changed to this, you don't know, the stone door of this cemetery is not for you outsiders to enter, you need to enter the village, it needs to check the handprints. ”
"What? Do you want to check your handprints? "He's a strange thing he's never heard before.
"What's all the fuss. The stone door opened for only 30 minutes, and after 30 minutes he would close automatically. Luo Lantian told him the mystery of this stone gate.
When Cheng Nuofu stepped on the stairs, he glanced back, looked at the magical stone door, and thought faintly in his heart: It's amazing. The stone doors are all inducted, and they are hand-printed...... Speechless.
The two of them finally reached the end of the spiral staircase. In front of him was a large number of cemeteries. Tombstones stood neatly in front of them, and the tombstones were pasted with a black and white photo of the deceased before his death.
There are almost a few hundred cemeteries here. Every row, every column is very neat, and the size of the cemetery is the same. When Cheng Nuopho saw these cemeteries, he couldn't help but gasp in fright. "Blue sky, since when did there appear so many cemeteries here?" And what he wants to ask most is, are all the villagers of the bell tower buried here? How can there be so many cemeteries? What terrible things have happened to this closed village?
Obviously, his question was also difficult for Luo Lantian, when he saw the hundreds of cemeteries in front of him, he froze, since when did a large number of cemeteries appear here? Why is he a member of the village who doesn't know? Isn't that weird?
"Blue sky! Don't tell me, you don't know what's going on! This is the ancestral grave in your village, why do you look like you don't know anything? Cheng Nuofu pushed Luo Lantian beside him.
He came back to his senses, but said something thought-provoking: "In the past, there were only a dozen cemeteries here, when did so many tombs be added here?" ”
Cheng Nuopho was stunned for a moment when he heard this...... It seems that something big must have happened in this bell tower village. Now I don't think about what terrible things have happened in Zhonglou Village, first find out the cemetery of Shuishui: "Lantian, let's look for Shuishui's cemetery separately and see if we can find the cemetery where the video is buried." ”
Luo Lantian nodded, he was originally a silent and steady person, so when he followed Cheng Nuopho, the dominant power of words was often on him. What he said, Lan Tian just nodded in agreement.
The two of them started looking for the cemetery in the first row, walked to the end, and then walked back from the end of the second row.
The surroundings are very quiet, there are cemeteries everywhere, and the atmosphere is really very eerie and terrifying. Even if it is two big men, the slightest movement behind their bodies can scare them into a cold sweat.
They had just reached the third row of tombs. Suddenly, they felt a black shadow flashing in front of them, and the two of them raised their heads one after another, but saw that at the end of the cemetery, there was an old man dressed in black who was moving.
In the distance, they saw an old man moving his body as if he were flying, and when they first saw him, he was at the end of the cemetery, but when the two of them raised their heads again, they saw the old man in black appear in front of them. Holding a broom made of bamboo in his hand, he looked at them with a pair of strange eyes, and said with a mouth open, "Who are you?" Why did you break into the Clock Garden without permission? "The voice is loud and there is no lack of air at all......
Cheng Nuofu and Luo Lantian were stunned, and the two of them were quite surprised by the hundred-year-old uncle in front of them...... But his actions are more energetic than a young man? Why? "Blue Sky, who is he? Elders of your village! Cheng Nuofu whispered in his ear. In a moment, the sturdy old man had already come to them, and looked at them coldly, without the slightest smile on his face.
Luo Lantian took a closer look and saw the wrinkled face. He suddenly remembered that he was Uncle Zhang, the guardian here. But the strange thing is - isn't Uncle Zhang in his 130s this year? But the old man in front of him is not 130 at all, he looks like he is in his fifties at most, isn't it Uncle Zhang, but a different person? He still planned to test the other party.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm the little heaven of the Luo family! Do you remember? The little boy who used to sit in front of the banyan tree and listen to your stories when I was a child? Do you remember? He stroked his head and said. However, I heard that the old man's memory is not good, he is so old, it is normal to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. He probably doesn't remember him!!
I saw Uncle Zhang take a serious look at Luo Lantian. After looking at it for a long time, he slowly spit out the words from his mouth: "Oh! I remember, you are Luo Jialu's grandson, that very quiet little boy, what is it called, it seems to be called Blue Sky! "He's remembering.
Luo Lantian nodded: "Yes!" Right! I am the blue sky! Uncle Zhang, do you remember me? He asked, apparently wondering if he really knew who he was.
"Of course, my memory hasn't regressed at all! You go to Chen's house in the village from time to time to play! At that time, I played the house wine game with the granddaughter of the Chen family every day! I see you rejoicing! Pity...... It's a pity...... "Uncle Zhang said the pity very regretfully. There was endless sadness in his eyes.
Luo Lantian's face was slightly red, thinking of what happened when he was a child, he inevitably had a feeling of youth and ignorance. He is really Uncle Zhang, but why does his appearance become younger?
Uncle Zhang looked at Cheng Nuopho, and asked in a very friendly tone: "Blue sky!" Who is this lad? Don't you know the village rules in our village? If you don't bring outsiders into the village, outsiders are bandits. The young man in his mouth was referring to Cheng Nuofu, who was obviously extremely unfriendly to him.
Luo Lantian grabbed Cheng Nuopho and said: "Uncle Zhang, he is Cheng Nuopho, my classmate, he has been to the village before, do you remember?" ”
Uncle Zhang looked at Cheng Nuofu again, but he didn't have any impression, he shook his head and snorted coldly: "Outsiders, it's better to bring less back!" Bring back less! His words were clearly in his words.
Cheng Nuofu clearly felt his hostility towards him. Why is there such a strong hostility towards him? When he wanted to ask, he was repelled by his sharp eyes. Uncle Zhang is so mindful of himself, he won't answer what he asks now, let Lan Tian ask! The people in the same village are all their own family members. Chatting will relieve a lot of stool. So he took the initiative to hand over the right to speak. This time, he decided to be a transparent person.
Luo Lantian was said to his face to be red and blue, alas! He was really embarrassed to be said by an elderly old-timer: "Ha ......" He smiled helplessly: "By the way, Uncle Zhang, where are the people in the village?" ”
In the face of his question, Zhang Bo was stunned for a long time, and then slowly showed a strange smile and glanced around. He stood in front of them, the smile on his face growing more and more, almost a little weird, and his tough voice rang out: "Do you hear that? See? They've always been there. When he said this, his eyes were looking at the large and densely packed cemetery in front of him.
When they heard this, their whole bodies were shocked, and they looked around in a panic, except for the three of them, it was the cemetery, and there was obviously no sound, only the whirring wind. But why did Uncle Zhang say that?
"Uncle Zhang, I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything! The people in the village have always been there? Where is it? Why can't I see it? Luo Lantian asked.
Uncle Zhang laughed dryly, walked to one of the tombstones, gently stroked it and whispered: "Look, they are finally with me!" Never separated, quiet as a kitten obedient, and will not walk around. I will always be one with them. They don't leave me, and I don't leave them, don't you see? ”
It's inexplicable again, could it be that he has Alzheimer's disease, so he doesn't know what he's talking about? Where else is there here? Why can't they understand what he's saying?
He patted the tombstone gently and said, "O blue sky! Look, all the people in the village are here! He kept tapping his hand at the erected tombstone.
