"Grandma Wang, you said that Xu Changhe was lying to me when they asked me to lift my grandfather's seal, what the hell is going on? And also...... What is the relationship between my grandfather and this Shoushantun? I'd love to know ...... this."

Wang Po glanced at me: "Shoushan has never mentioned this place to you?" Didn't tell you about his youth? ”

I shook my head: "I've been with my grandfather for as long as I can remember, and he never mentioned these ...... to me."

Wang Po nodded: "That's because he doesn't want you to get involved, but I don't understand, he doesn't want you to get involved, why can you still come here?" ”

When I communicated with Wang Po, she made me feel like a relative. This kind of feeling can't be given to me by Xu Changhe and others, so I don't need to hide it from Wang Po.

I took out the map that my third uncle had given me and said, "I'm because I can't help it." I was entangled in a poisonous insect called a poisonous silkworm, and my third uncle gave me this sheepskin map, saying that my grandfather left it behind, saying that when the people of the Li family encountered a crisis, they could come here to avoid trouble. And since I came here, I really haven't seen those poisonous silkworms again. It seems that the purpose of coming here to avoid disaster must have been achieved. ”

Wang Po took the map, looked at it, and gave it back to me: "It seems that everything is providential." Your grandfather didn't want you to get involved, but you ended up here for this reason. Your third uncle did the right thing, this Shoushantun has a very special geographical location, it can be said that it is isolated from the world, ordinary people can't find it here without guidance, and people here can't go out. People here are getting old, and no newborns have been born. Over time, there is a sense of old age and death here. It is said that this is a village for the living, but the living can't find it, and that this is a ghost village, and it is not registered in the underworld. This is where there is neither yin nor yang, no people and no ghosts, and it is a three-regardless zone. So if you're in danger, it's definitely okay to hide here. ”

After listening to Wang Po's introduction, I realized that I could avoid disaster when I arrived here. It seems that Wang Po really knows a lot of things, and I may really be able to find out some secrets from her.

I couldn't wait to ask: "Grandma Wang, Xu Changhe said that there is a curse in this village, and as long as the people inside go out, they will die tragically." Grandpa left Shoushantun in order to find a way to break the curse. In order to convince you that he can come back, a clay sculpture was erected in the ancestral hall with his hands tied behind his back. As long as the people who guard the mountain go to worship on the fifteenth day of the first month of the month, my grandfather will suffer. Is this true? ”

Wang Po nodded: "In this matter, Xu Changhe didn't lie to you. Most of what he said was true. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Then why do you say that he is lying to me when he asked me to lift my grandfather's seal?" ”

Wang Po shook her head: "Did he tell you that the clay sculpture contains a wisp of your grandfather's remnant soul, as long as you use your blood, you can break the seal and release your grandfather's soul." When your grandfather's soul is gathered, you can go to reincarnation? ”

"That's right." I nodded repeatedly. Xu Changhe did say so at the time.

Wang Po smiled bitterly: "That's true."

There's a remnant of your grandfather's soul. But as long as you drip your blood into the clay statue, not only will the seal not be lifted, but even your soul will be trapped in the clay statue. When the time comes, if you want to get out, it will be difficult. ”

"They...... Why do you do this to me? Didn't my grandfather save the whole village? So, my grandfather is the benefactor of Shoushantun, but they want to harm me? I was startled and quickly asked.

Wang Po leaned over to the window, looked at the sky outside through the window, turned around and said, "It's still too late, I'll tell you everything I know." As for how far you can go, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven. Do you know how your grandfather saved the entire Shoushantun back then? ”

I shook my head, I just heard Xu Changhe and others mention these several times, but they didn't mention the details, so I don't know anything about the details of this matter.

Wang Po stood at the window, looking at the moon in the sky outside, as if muttering to herself, as if talking to me.

I listened quietly in the back.

Wang Po said slowly: "The villagers in this mountain guard didn't originally live here. Originally, they all lived on the other side of the mountain, and the original village was called Gushantun. Fifty years ago, when the four olds were in full swing, the slogan of defeating the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods was shouted loudly. The backer is also in full swing. At that time, your grandfather was still a descendant in his twenties, but he was not from the village, but a passing Taoist priest. ”

I was stunned for a moment: "Grandma Wang, you say my grandfather is a Taoist priest?" ”

Wang Po nodded: "That's right, I can still clearly remember the picture of your grandfather wearing a white Taoist robe passing through the village." At that time, although your grandfather was young, he had the demeanor of a fairy. ”

I couldn't believe my ears. I also remember very clearly that when my third uncle ran away from home, when he came back, he was also dressed in a broken Taoist robe and became a half-hung Taoist priest. At that time, because he was a Taoist priest, he almost his grandfather to death, and he used a stick to drive the third uncle out of the house. In this way, the third uncle had to go to the town to set up a stall to tell fortunes for a living.

If his grandfather used to be a Taoist priest, how could he not let the third uncle become a Taoist priest?

However, I didn't ask Wang Po again about this question, and I guess she couldn't answer it. I continued to listen to Wang Po's narration: "But your grandfather was really bold, at that time, it was people like him who were arrested everywhere, and when he saw your grandfather wearing a Taoist robe and swaggering through the street, where would he let go." At that time, it was a group of people led by Xu Changhe who had been tossing in the backer for a while. Smash all the old things that you can smash, and burn everything you can. But at that time, many people were arrested in several other villages next to it, saying that they were engaged in feudal superstition and wanted to be arrested and paraded in the streets. Only there is no one to catch the backer, Xu Changhe and they are panicking, now they can be regarded as seeing your grandfather, so they led people to tie up your grandfather directly. ”

I listened and said indignantly, "Isn't this bullying? ”

Wang Po smiled bitterly: "At that time, there was no reason to talk about it. After your grandfather was arrested, he didn't defend himself, but shouted loudly, saying that the village was in trouble, he

It's here to rescue the village. But you know, those people finally caught someone, where are they willing to listen to what your grandfather has to say. Without saying anything, I locked up your grandfather. But after your grandfather was imprisoned, he was still yelling and telling everyone to leave the backer quickly, otherwise it would be too late. At that time, most people regarded your grandfather as a madman, and everyone had lived in Gushantun for decades, how could they leave? But how did they know that a calamity was really coming......"
