When I told Ding Ming about the origin of Jueyu, he was completely defeated.

The past is gone!

Ding Ming thought that Xiao Qiao left the most important Jueyu to me, so he regarded me as a relative, and told me everything he knew.

If you don't want people to know what to do unless you do, the Gen organization will leave clues after all, and Ding Ming will integrate all the broken clues through the identity research of the reporter.

In fact, I am somewhat skeptical of Ding Ming's words, he said before that it was because of the case of Senior Brother Hong's mysterious sudden death that he noticed Zong Qingguan, so that he could investigate so many things in just over a year?

Just thinking about it, Ding Ming suddenly said: "Later, I inquired about the history of the county annals, and I learned that this abandoned port was once prosperous, and it also had an obscure name: no return to the port." ”

Zhao Jie and I asked in unison, "No return to Hong Kong?" ”

People near the sea are more superstitious, and they generally worship when they go to sea, and the name of the port is more exquisite, how can they give such an unfortunate name, if they don't return to the port, they will never return if they leave.

Ding Ming nodded in confirmation and said, "At first, I was also puzzled, but then when I saw the reason for the construction of this port, I understood. In the eighteenth century, the countries on the other side of the Pacific Ocean were building railroads, and they were short of labor, so they either abducted or cheated, or lured, and tricked people out of here to go to sea to do labor, and those who went to sea either died on the sea road, or died of exhaustion, and even if there were survivors, they could not come back, so this port was called the port of no return, and if they went out, they could never come back. ”

I had read this in the history books before, and the Pacific Railway on the other side was built with the blood of the Chinese.

I asked, "Why were you deceived when you know that you are not going back?" ”

Ding Ming shook his head, sighed and said: "At that time, the country was poor and weak, and the people who were deceived were mostly poor families, and a steamed bun could be sent away. Of course, there were fugitives or others who could not survive, and from there they went to sea, and many of them were buried in the sea forever. ”

"In this way, why did the Taoist priest of Zongqingguan go there and sacrifice himself, do he also want to go to the other side of the ocean?" I asked this with my mouth, knowing in my heart that those Taoist priests might be going to Penglai Island, but what is the connection?

Ding Ming shook his head and said, "I can't guess these reasons. ”

At this time, Ding Ming looked at me again and asked, "You are practicing in Zongqingguan, have you ever met someone with another piece of Jueyu?" ”

Su Xuanke's name is stuck in my throat, but I don't have the courage to say it, if I say it, he will definitely go to Su Xuanke, and then he will just be sent to death.

I shook my head and said, "No, maybe your child has been sold to a rich family, maybe you are living your own life." ”

Ding Ming smiled bitterly and said: "If this is the case, I will have no regrets, I am afraid that he will be used, and life is better than death." ”

Sometimes people's feelings are really accurate, and Su Xuanke at this time is afraid that life is really worse than death. But I could only shake my head and say, "No, most rich people will buy it, how can poor people buy it." ”

Ding Ming said: "Hopefully." ”

Seeing that Ding Ming was so old, and he was so sad just now, and he still couldn't let go of it, Zhao Jie hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Don't talk about this, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and there are immortals in the evening, in case of good luck, Ding Lao, if you meet an immortal, you can ask where the child is." ”

Ding Ming, who was originally depressed, seemed to grasp the last hope, sat up a little upright, looked at me and continued to ask: "Now it is rumored that the immortals are about to come into the world, and it is near your Taoist Bay, have you ever felt it?" ”

I shook my head and said, "You said it was a rumor, I didn't feel anything." ”

"I don't know if it's true or not, but seeing Zong Qingguan making such a big move, something big must happen here." Ding Ming said, and then instructed: "Little Taoist, I am in the town, and I have heard a lot of rumors about you, although I know that you have something to hide from me, but I am old, and I can't force you to investigate deeply, just warn you, be careful everywhere, I see that most of these rumors are aimed at you." ”

I don't know what Ding Ming heard, but judging from his investigation of the Gen organization, this person is not so simple, he knows that I have something to hide from him, and similarly, the implication of this sentence, what he said to me, may not be all said, it may just be due to the presence of Zhao Jie.

But Jueyu is in my hands, Ding Ming will choose to believe me, because he believes in Xiao Qiao's choice, this admonition should be in his heart.

Zhao Jie looked at Ding Ming, then at me, and said with a smile: "The immortal came into the world, it's not a good thing, although Zong Qingguan has a problem, but he doesn't dare to blatantly come here to do anything, Lang Lang Qiankun." Besides, he is a local little Taoist priest, what can he do. But when he said it, his expression was obviously not confident, as if he was comforting himself.

Ding Ming smiled, then stood up, as if he had regained his spirits.

After that, he visited all the rooms from ancient times, and rummaged through them casually, and I didn't stop them, and asked me some Taoist things.

After a long time, Ding Ming said to Zhao Jie: "It's not too early, I want to visit an old friend, and ask Mr. Zhao to lead the way." "His old friend is referring to the eighth master, it seems that he wants to get some information from the eighth master.

Zhao Jie hurriedly responded, and the two went out, preparing to go to the eighth master's side.

When leaving, Zhao Jie glanced back at me again and said, "Today's Shangyuan Festival, don't stay in Taoist Bay at night, go back to Songwan, accompany your parents, and worship your ancestors at home." ”

I nodded, and it seemed that he was genuinely worried about me.

After they left, I sat on the rice field in front of Daoist Bay, looking at the river of life below, now there is no way back, and it is impossible for my parents to leave Qingshan Town, now the whole Qingshan Town is a big bird cage, but I don't know, the last thing left will be the bird, perhaps, only a bunch of feathers left.

I looked up and looked at the mountain where my grandfather was buried.

It was just after noon and the sky was beginning to be overcast, and the forecast was that there would be snow in the evening, and the wind was howling in the mountains.

At this time, between heaven and earth, it seems that I am alone.

From Ding Ming's information, it was found that the search for the hidden place has existed since ancient times, but until now, no one has succeeded, and the cycle has been repeated.

The universe represents time and space, and space has not changed, as if time has not changed, and everyone is repeating what their predecessors have done, which is called reincarnation.

Suddenly, I had a sense of vicissitudes and unspeakable helplessness.

At this time, I saw some dark shadows in the lower reaches of the river of life, and as time slowly approached, I realized that it was the people of the town, they all carried lanterns, and went up the river, it seems that they really followed the prophecy and came to find the immortals.

I think the leader turned out to be two Taoist priests from Zong Qingguan, it seems that the Lord really wants to use the people of Qingshan Town as a bargaining chip against us.

I hurriedly got up and ran to Songwan, although I couldn't persuade my parents to leave Qingshan Town, but I could persuade them not to go into the mountains, but as soon as I was halfway there, I saw people from Songwan, all carrying lanterns, walking this way, including my parents and them.

On the lanterns, there are talismans given by the people of Zong Qingguan.

"Where are you going?" I shouted into the crowd.

An old man in the family shouted to me: "Song Hao, tonight the immortal is about to come into the world, it is the glory of our entire Qingshan Town, you should hurry up and enter the mountain with us." ”

At this time, the crowd came to my side, everyone was discussing, if you meet an immortal, what wish should I say, whether the immortal will come true, etc., I came to my parents, my brother also handed me a lantern, which was also pasted with a talisman, and my brother said to me: "Now go into the mountain, it is said that someone has cracked the place of the prophecy, at the foot of the mountain where you are buried the ancestor of the Louguan School, I doubt that the so-called immortal will be your ancestor." ”

Someone next to him chimed in: "Yes, Song Hao, you have just practiced for more than a year, and you can encounter this kind of good thing, it's really lucky." ”

I just smiled awkwardly and persuaded my parents to go back, but it was impossible.

Passing by Taoist Bay, I ran back under the pretext, came to the house, looked at the wooden statue of the ancestor master, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone thinks you are an immortal, but in fact, you are a demon." ”

With that, I knocked down the wooden statue and took out the bronze sword from underneath.

I knelt in front of the master's tablet, kowtowed a few times, and said, "What I believe in is not the ancestor master, but the morality taught to me by the master, the true way of heaven. What is a Taoist priest, a pedestrian avenue, guarding the way of heaven! ”

Then, he turned around and walked out.

What should be faced, will be faced after all, without fear and no regrets!
