Chapter 114: Remnant Finger Village
After coming to the foot of Lishan Mountain, Qin Wuming looked up at the mountain, and felt very emotional.
It's not the first time he's been here.
After all, this time it should be the twelfth.
Lishan is not a big mountain, only more than 1,000 meters, but in addition to the beautiful scenery, there are many ruins here.
The beacon tower, the Dharma Cave, the Laojun Palace, the Sanyuan Cave and the Old Mother Palace, etc., are located on different mountain peaks.
Everywhere you go, there is a road to the mountains.
In the past, Qin Wuming would always go to the Old Mother's Hall and point to a sculpture in the hall and scold.
But this time, he won't scold anymore, but will apologize to the sculpture.
The sculpture enshrined in the old mother's hall is none other than Lingxi!
He didn't know before, but now he knows how much Lingxi has sacrificed for himself.
A gray and black path leading to the mountain, twisting and turning, like a big snake crawling and walking, that road was exactly what Qin Wuming had walked out of.
The Old Mother Hall is not only the ancestral hall of Lingxi, in fact, in the earliest days, this was the place where Qin Wuming and Lingxi lived.
Of course, Qin Wuming at that time was not called Qin Wuming, but had another name.
These things are no longer important, Qin Wuming knows that Lingxi must be in a secret cave that goes straight to the belly of Lishan Mountain under Her Royal Highness the Old Mother at this time.
In that secret cave, there is a natural cold spring, which can not only heal injuries, but also improve the stability of the Dao, and it is a secret cave that only he and Lingxi know.
In fact, Lishan has changed a lot today.
Various ruins have been developed into tourist attractions by ordinary people.
However, due to the fact that it is very remote, there are not many tourists who come to visit at all.
It's off-season, and no one is here at all.
In addition to the landscape, there is actually a Daomen sect on Lishan - the Quanzhen Dragon Gate sect!
The Longmen sect is a branch of the Quanzhen faction, but the Taoist priests in it are higher than the people of the Quanzhen general sect.
This is because only in the Quanzhen General Sect, the best disciples can come to the Dragon Gate Sect to practice dragon slaying techniques.
The dragon slaying technique was passed on to them by Qin Wuming, a group of seven people, a total of seven groups, united to form a powerful killing array.
I don't know how many disciples of the Dragon Gate Branch are still practicing dragon slaying techniques now.
After sighing for a while, Qin Wuming shifted his gaze to the small village at the foot of the mountain.
"Let's live in that little village today."
Looking at the small village with only a few dozen households, Qin Wuming opened his mouth and said to Nana and Commander Zhou.
"Aren't you going up the mountain?"
Nana and Commander Zhou were stunned at the same time, puzzled.
Qin Wuming shook his head, "Don't worry, let's stay first." ”
Before that Faqiu Zhonglang came, Qin Wuming didn't plan to go up the mountain.
He wanted to figure out what Shen Gongbao was going to do.
Second, Lingxi hasn't come out of that secret cave yet, and obviously hasn't fully recovered, and going to her now will definitely affect her.
So Qin Wuming decided to wait in the small village, waiting for Shen Gongbao to appear, and waiting for Lingxi to get out of the customs after he fully recovered.
"Okay then."
Commander Zhou said with some regret.
He also wanted to hurry up and see what the master looked like.
"There don't seem to be many people in the village."
Nana glanced in the direction of the village and spoke.
Qin Wuming said: "It's normal, in this era, people in the countryside like to run out, go out to work to earn money, and those who stay in the village are basically old and weak. ”
With that, Qin Wuming led them in the direction of the small village.
A moment later, the two of them came to the entrance of the village.
Looking at the village, I found that on both sides of the main road in the village, the people sitting in the sun were basically old people over 60 years old.
Except for the elderly, it is the young children who chase and play.
Qin Wuming didn't see a single young man, as he guessed, the village was full of old and weak, not even middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.
With Qin Wuming's arrival, the old people who were napping in the sun suddenly opened their eyes and looked at him and Nana.
These people are ordinary people, and they can't see Commander Zhou.
Qin Wuming also secretly glanced around those old people and found a striking similarity in them.
"Nameless brother, why are all the old people in this village disabled? It's weird. ”
Nana also found out and whispered immediately.
Qin Wuming frowned and nodded, it is not uncommon for people to be disabled, but the old people in a village are all disabled, and the key parts of the disability are all on their hands.
Some people are missing one finger, some are missing two, three, and even one old man has only one finger left.
This situation is very strange.
Other than that, all the old people are old men, and there is not a single old lady.
Moreover, there are several old men, with white cloths on their hands, and blood stains can be seen, as if they have just lost their fingers.
However, there was no expression of pain and fear on their faces, but an expression of satisfaction.
There is no yin qi in the village, no evil qi, and no demonic energy.
However, this situation makes the atmosphere of the whole village seem very strange.
"Don't alarm them yet, don't ask, wait until you stay." Qin Wuming replied to Nana.
"Two young babies, do you have to get lost?"
Without waiting for Nana to reply, an old man on the stone tooth at the entrance of the village asked in a loud voice.
Qin Wuming had no choice but to hurriedly reply, "It's not that we are lost, we want to live in the village for a while, I don't know if there is a place to spend the night in the village?" ”
"Oh? What are you doing in our village? The old man said with a wary expression on his face.
Qin Wuming smiled, glanced at Nana and said, "My sister and I have never been in the countryside, so we want to experience rural life." ”
The old man glanced the two of them up and down, and saw that the clothes were not ordinary families, well, not lying.
"Then you can live there, there are many empty houses in the village."
The old man said with a smile in northern Shaanxi.
"Then thank you, old man." Qin Wuming hurriedly thanked him.
"You're welcome, the person who comes is a guest, the head of the village, you come with you, I'll take you to find an empty house."
The old man stood up enthusiastically, shook off the padded jacket on his shoulders, and led Qin Wuming to the village.
"This old man is a little weird."
Commander Zhou, who had been silent on the side, said.
Qin Wuming sent a voice to him, "You hide it, don't show up and scare him, I'll talk about other things later." ”
He also sensed that the old man was indeed a little strange.
Because, when he looked at Nana just now, there was a look of dislike flashing in the depths of his eyes.
You must know that although Nana is only a teenager, her appearance and figure are definitely not lost to mature women.
Normal people, regardless of men, women, young and old, can't help but take a few more glances when they see it.
Even if it was an old man, showing a stunning complexion, Qin Wuming wouldn't feel strange, but this old man who said that he was the village chief was actually disgusted with Nana.
That's weird.
"Hey, master, I finally know that this old man is weird, look at his fingers."
At this time, Commander Zhou couldn't help but spread the word again.
Qin Wuminggang really didn't pay attention, and when he heard Commander Zhou's reminder, he saw that the old village chief's fingers were actually complete!
"You can live in my house, the old man is alone in my house, it's strange and deserted, you can live in Ha and be more lively."
At this moment, the footsteps of the old village chief stopped in front of a compound, and he directly pushed open the doorway.
Qin Wuming saw that there were four newly built houses in the compound, which were indeed very spacious.
"Thank you, old village chief."
Qin Wuming thanked him again, and at the same time took out a wad of money, handed it to the old village chief, and said, "This is our accommodation and food expenses, the old village chief is not polite." ”
The old village chief frowned and didn't want to take it, but after secretly glancing at Nana again, he took it.
"Okay, I'll get you some delicious food, don't worry, I won't lose your money." The old village chief took the money and said again.
"Yes, young baby, I have something to tell you." Without waiting for Qin Wuming to reply, the old village chief continued.
Qin Wuming was stunned, "The village chief just orders." ”
The old village chief frowned and said, "After dark, you can go for a walk, don't let your sister go out, don't you know?" ”
Qin Wuming asked, "Why?" ”
The old village chief said, "Don't ask so much, I'm afraid of scaring you, and besides, no matter what you hear or who you see, don't pay attention to him, understand?" ”
Qin Wuming hurriedly said, "Could it be that the village is haunted?" ”
The old village chief's eyes widened: "Ghost? If it's a ghost, we have a Taoist priest on the mountain, please come and catch the ghost. ”
Qin Wuming said again, "Since it's not a haunting, why did the old village chief say that?" ”
The old village chief waved his hand, "You just came here and didn't know, that thing in the village is more scary than a ghost, anyway, if you don't want to have an accident, just listen to it, otherwise you won't be surprised if you get hurt." ”
Qin Wuming and Nana glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Okay, let's listen to the village chief." ”
The old village chief also nodded, and then turned his gaze to Nana and said, "Especially you, girl, you must not go out at night, otherwise someone will have an accident, don't blame the old man for being unkind to you and letting you leave directly." ”
Nana said aggrievedly, "Grandpa, I didn't do anything, why are you so cruel to me?" ”
The old village chief snorted coldly, "A good-looking girl like you is a scourge." ”
Qin Wuming was a little speechless, the reason why the old village chief was hostile to Nana was because she was good-looking?
Nana wanted to say something more, but Qin Wuming hurriedly stopped her, "Listen to the village chief!" ”
Nana sighed and nodded.
Qin Wuming was really a little interested at this moment, and he wanted to know why the old village chief said this.
What's so strange about this village with a lot of broken fingers?
