305. The world under the pool of vain death
We came to Lao Yang's residence, it turned out that what people called the Ma family Gu Master was just a Gu Master in the courtyard, there were not many Gu Masters here, only seventy or eighty, less than one-tenth of the village's population.
Lao Yang told me that when he came here, he learned that the people here were abandoned by the Dao League because of Ma Long's betrayal of the Dao League, so it was very difficult to live here, and when he came, he used the 100,000 yuan I gave him to buy TVs, beds and other daily necessities, which made the Ma family very moved.
So after going back and forth, he gave full play to some of the skills that Malone passed on to him, and he was recognized by everyone, and he became the leader of this tribe.
At this time, I was sitting in a bamboo house with Sanaiduo, drinking freshly brewed lotus leaf tea, the taste was also very fragrant, the tea was made by a beautiful Miao girl, with a cloth head painted with a lattice, at this time I could see that I had a big belly, I should have been pregnant, but I looked at his affectionate eyes on Yang Wanli, and I understood everything.
After the woman left, I teased, "Wanli, good job!" ”
Lao Wan also immediately understood what I meant, and said with a sincere smile: "I forgot to introduce, this is my wife, her name is Ma Yu, and her tricks are even more powerful than me...... When I came here to help everyone, it was Ma Yu who suggested that I inherit Ma Long's position, and then take everyone back to the old days of prosperity. ”
I nodded, I looked at Lao Wan and said, "Now, there is an opportunity in front of us...... Maybe it can help you and make the life of the Ma family rich. ”
"I later learned that Ma Yu was Ma Long's daughter, Ma Long originally had an eldest daughter, but later died, and this Ma Yu was not Ma Long's child born to his wife, but a child born privately between him and a widow in a clan, but there are many twists and turns, many reasons, and it is not something that can be explained clearly in half a word." Lao Wan said.
I thought about it, because I knew what Ma Long's eldest daughter was called Ye, and my friends also called her Yezi, in fact, her real name, I don't know what it was called, but I knew that Ye Zi later died, but after her death, she was occupied by a character called Lingpo, who was good at ghost spells, so after occupying Yezi's body, she carried out some evil plans.
At the same time, Ye Zi later died in Ma Long's arms, this ending was very unexpected, and it also made any father collapse, so that Ma Yu's identity was revealed, but the people of the Dao Alliance didn't know, they only thought that Ye Zi was dead, and he died very miserably, and Ma Long was also dead.
Lao Wan was willing to explain these things to me, also because he believed in me, which made me very moved, Lao Wan said: "Recently, the eldest brother is still a member of the Dao Alliance?" ”
"As we planned, I've broken away from the Dao Alliance, but what...... I discovered a fact, that is, the culprit of all this is not the Dao Alliance, but another very special force, seeing that I came to you this time also has my purpose, I hope you can go out of the mountain to help me in advance. I said sincerely.
Yang Wanli sighed, and he said, "Big brother, if it was me a year ago, I would definitely come to help, but now I ...... You know, I'm going to become a father soon, and after becoming a father, I'm not just on my own, but with a family of people around me, if I have any accidents, what about my wife and children at home? ”
I know Yang Wanli's thoughts, since he has now been married to Ma Yu and has his own children, it means that all this is not so important to Yang Wanli, after all, any man has a purpose in life, most men are for their families, even if they are outside, it doesn't matter if they suffer alone, as long as their families are happy......
And Yang Wanli is thinking like this now, now that he has a family and children, Yang Wanli is no longer the young man I know, clamoring to avenge his master.
All this makes me very embarrassed, after all, a person's change, fast and slow, in the blink of an eye, people can have such earth-shaking changes, it is also unexpected.
Yang Wanli became like this, maybe I wouldn't be surprised if I knew that his prerequisite was already to have a family, but the main thing is that this fact came so suddenly, so suddenly that I felt incredible.
But if Zhao Xiwen is also pregnant, maybe I won't care about these worldly things, after all, if a person has concerns, it is already a completely different personality, compared to the impulse of youth, it is as light as a passing cloud.
Maybe this is also the reason why Zhao Xiwen insists on not having children now, if she has a child, I'm afraid everything will have to come to an end.
I looked at the sky and didn't say a word, Yang Wanli probably thought I was angry, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Long, what's wrong with you?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, no, no, no, I just thought of something...... Now that you've decided to live a good life, I shouldn't force you too much, but let me ask you, do you know about Jiuying? ”
As I spoke, I took out the map, and as soon as I talked about Jiuying, Ma Yu in the room walked out, she looked very anxious, from walking to trotting, she said: "What, big brother, are you talking about Jiuying?" ”
I nodded, and said in my heart Since Ma Yu is a local, maybe he will know about Jiuying, I immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is Jiuying, one of the purposes of our visit is to visit the two of you, and the other is to find Jiuying." ”
Hearing about Jiuying, Ma Yu said to Yang Wanli: "Brother Wanli, do you know the vain death pool in the east? ”
"You know, there is a very huge stone tablet sealed on the mouth of the Dead Pool, the last time we went to hang out together, you said that the origin of the stone tablet is very ancient, could it be ...... You mean......" Yang Wanli seemed to think of something, and he looked at Ma Yu to come to his senses.
Ma Yu smiled: "Yes, that's what I mean!" There are some local legends, you should not know much, and our Ma family has lived in Xize County for thousands of years, and its Chinese accumulation is also familiar with many mysterious stories...... Among them is the legend of the Nine Infants, who were beheaded by the ancient gods and their bodies fell in this place...... And then the body turned into this pool of vain death......"
"Death in vain, this name is really interesting!" I said.
Ma Yu nodded, sat down across from us, and said, "Because many children have died in vain...... Those children all went to swim and play in the pool of death, but then they were all pulled down, and this pool of death is very weird, because the corpses of dead children will not be floated up, and it is like a bottomless pit underneath, and there will never be a bottom! ”
"What do you mean by that? No matter how deep the well is, it will definitely have a bottom...... Could it be that the pool of vain death can still lead to the underworld? I joked.
At this time, Ma Yu didn't joke at all, she said: "In the legends of the older generation, it is even said that the end of the pool of vain death is connected to a country of the River Styx......"
"Styx Country?" I looked at Ma Yu puzzled.
Ma Yu explained: "That is the world of the dead, that is, the place waiting for reincarnation, people line up in a long line, after drinking Meng Po soup, swaying, no self-consciousness, completely walking numbly, and walking in the direction of reincarnation......
"You've really been there?" I laughed because I wasn't convinced.
But Ma Yu said quite surely, as if she had experienced it herself, she said: "I know you may doubt what I said, but this is all a legend left by the ancestors, and it ...... At that time, the Ma family was completely isolated from people outside, but after the ancestors and people outside came into contact, they found that the legends about the dead were so close, so people concluded that in this world, there really is the so-called Styx Country, and the dead are queuing up......"
