This person named Ah Jin came from outside the door, saying that he had come from Qianshan to report the news, and he named the person who wanted to find me and Hua Bo, but he was stopped by Da Zhuang at the door.

When I came out, Da Zhuang was leaning on the door frame to stop people out of the door, and it was a man from the Miao family in his forties, who looked very anxious, and this person looked a little familiar. Xia Ti reminded in my ear: "It's from Qianshan, and his eldest son has been hit by the Descending Head Gu." ”

Yes, I remember, the second night we arrived in Qianzhai, his eldest son lowered his head and died, fortunately this man also has a young son, otherwise his family would be dead, I also had a fight with him at that time, what can he do with him taking the initiative to find me? It's not like you want to find fault and fight again, right?

Just thinking about it, Ah Jin also saw me, he came up in a panic, grabbed my hand, and said in broken Chinese: "Oh no! Crazy old man, crazy old man, dead! ”

I was taken aback, felt uncomfortable for a while, and blurted out, "How did you die?" The man in the letter was a crazy old man. ”

"Well, well, head down Gu, head down dead! Crazy old man. ”

My head "buzzed" and I exclaimed, "This, how is this possible?" It's not time yet? "Actually, what I thought in my heart was that even if Qianzhai still had to die a year, but this year's climbing festival has died, it's this Ah Jin's eldest son, how can the crazy old man still die, but after saying that, I also feel that this sentence "It's not time yet?" "It's a bit too bad in front of Ah Jin.

Ah Jin's expression really became complicated, it must be very unpleasant, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, Hua Bo also hurriedly walked over and asked with a look of surprise: "Don't worry, this brother, how can you say it slowly like this, and Le Yang, what's going on?" What does it mean that the day is not up? ”

Hua Bo and Da Zhuang have not experienced what happened in Qianzhai, although they have heard a little, but they are not very clear, at this time, I don't want to uncover Ah Jin's scars, so I told the strange things that happened in Qianzhai carefully, Qianshan Miao Village since the tragedy was created thirty years ago, every year on the day of the climbing festival, there will be a clansman who is good and dignified, and he twisted off his head with his own hands, and the deceased are the youngest and strongest young men in the clan, and there has never been an exception in the past 30 years.

There are dozens of households in the village, almost every family has experienced such the pain of losing a child, and the good sons are about to die, in fact, the cause of death has always been a mystery, but the superstitious Miao people only think that the soul of the wronged soul came to collect debts from them, who told them to kill the mountain 30 years ago to destroy the village? The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant.

However, since the truth of the matter in Houshan has been revealed, the statement of unjust souls collecting debts has been self-defeating, all of this should be Zhang Pu and others' head reduction, revenge for the frog clan, compared to killing all the enemies, this kind of revenge is a hundred times more terrible, little by little cannibalization of the former village, so that they have lived in endless fear and grief for decades.

After listening to me, Ah Jin also put aside the pain of losing his son, and added: "Not only the crazy old man, but also the cloth elder of the clan is also dead!" ”

Xia Ti asked, "Did you also bow your head and die?" ”

Ah Jin nodded.

This matter is serious, I said strangely: "This is strange, Zhang Pu's group of people have already died, who will go to Qianzhai to lower this head Gu?" ”

"Well, that's not the most critical thing." Ah Jin was a little stunned, and when he said this, he unconsciously shook his spirit, and looked frightened.

Da Zhuang slapped the table and shouted: "What's the key, you should say it quickly!" Grinding and chirping, but I'm in a hurry. ”

"Guan, the key is that he is a crazy old man, after his head is broken, he can still speak!"

"Ahh The crowd shouted in unison.

"What did he say?" Waber asked.

"Like, it's like saying 'the mantra of the Heavenly Master'."

"Celestial Master's Curse! What does it mean? Da Zhuang muttered, looked at Xia Ti, and talked about his mind, Xia Ti was the smartest and careful. But Xia Ti also shook his head, and he really couldn't guess anything based on these four words.

Ah Jin looked bitter, and asked Hua Bo again: "Doctor Hua, is it possible for people to speak after they die?" ”

Hua Bo said categorically: "It is absolutely impossible. ”

Ah Jin lowered his head, and only after a while did he cry: "Retribution! I know those souls won't let me go, hehehe! I was the only one who participated in that incident back then, the crazy old man and Elder Bu, and now they are both dead, it seems that I will die soon, I have done evil, I have carried several lives, I have died innocently, I have lived in vain for decades, I should have died a long time ago, but, just the disaster is not for the children and grandchildren, my eldest son died miserably, you have also seen it, I can't let the younger son have anything to do again! At this time, Ah Jin was a little cowardly, but when he mentioned his youngest son, he seemed full of courage, and he had the posture of protecting his son even if he died 10,000 times.

Da Zhuang patted Ah Jin and persuaded: "Big brother, don't scare yourself, where did the soul come from?" As the saying goes, 'people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts respect people for seven points'. It's shitty! According to me, there is no need to ask, it must have been done by the remnants of the Fang Immortal Sect, pretending to be gods and ghosts, they just wanted to avenge Zhang Pu's evil way. ”

Xia Ti shook his head and said: "I don't think so, with our understanding of the other party's immortal sect, they are well-organized, act indifferently, only do things that are beneficial to them, and are not very good at avenging the dead, and even if they want to take revenge, they should come at us." After speaking, he said to Ah Jin: "'The curse of the Heavenly Master', are you sure that the crazy old man said it after he died?" ”

Ah Jin said very firmly: "Sure, I can't hear the crazy old man's voice wrong, but when he said this, his head was no longer on his neck." ”

Hua Bo nodded and said, "This matter is indeed unusual, how did Brother Ah Jin find us?" ”

"It was the mad old man who said it, and when he went back he told him what had happened, and the stockade celebrated happily for several days, and thought that from now on there would be nothing to do, alas! Now people are panicking again, compared to before, it is even worse, it used to be a big deal to die a year, but it's only a few days...... The crazy old man said that you are here, and only I know the way to the back mountain. Ah Jin's words were a little unanswered, he paused, and said a little embarrassed: "The crazy old man said, said, said that you got the wood butterfly, uh, uh, I also know that this thing is very important to you, but, but the people in the village have been tricked by Gu, uh, can you?" ”

Only then did I understand the real purpose of his coming.

Da Zhuang's mouth was fast, and he said angrily: "Alas! It turns out that you had the idea to fight this wooden butterfly! That's us

I took it with my life. ”

Ah Jin nodded awkwardly, "Yes, yes, what Shaoxia said." ”

Hua Bo said: "It's okay, no matter how precious the medicine is, it's also to cure the disease and save people, this matter is not trivial, no one can die, it's still important to save people, let's go and have a look." ”

Ah Jin also knew who was talking, and he ignored me and Da Zhuang at the moment, and knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, "Knock knock!" "As long as my youngest son is okay, I can take my life." ”

We had to pack our backpacks, say goodbye to Shangzhai, and follow Ah Jin back to Qianshan Miao Village.

Three days later, when I entered the front village, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, the villagers became very nervous, and they were very vigilant about our arrival, and they muttered that we should have been heroes, but now it is good, these villagers are full of resentment in their eyes, as if they want to eat us, we have to be careful, otherwise we will be killed and we don't know it. Listening to Da Zhuang say this, it may be because of psychology, I also feel that the wooden buildings in the village at this time are much more mottled than at the beginning.

The crazy old man and Elder Bu have been buried, Ah Jin can only take us directly to see the patriarch, on the way he gave us a brief talk about the patriarch's family, the patriarch in the village is hereditary, the patriarch's family was originally a famous family in the village, but now the family is in the middle of the road, the current patriarch lost his wife in his early years, no children and no daughters, there is only one dumb old servant called dumb uncle in the family, this patriarch's family is weak and naturally not a good thing, so the patriarch has been cautious everywhere over the years, and there has been no big mistake, Coupled with the support of several elders from the side, it has been barely able to secure the position of the patriarch over the years. But now, as soon as Elder Bu, who was closest to the patriarch, died, and died one after another, the patriarch must have been unable to sit still, and if he couldn't give an explanation to the villagers, the patriarch would have to be questioned.

Talking to the patriarch's house, the wood carving on the lintel cracked several messy openings, at a glance it is an old ordinary old house, but it is very large, a gate is a two-entry compound, the hall opposite is fifteen or sixteen zhang away from us, around a circle of black wooden buildings. This is the ancestral home of a large family, but now it is not prosperous, and it looks a little dilapidated.

An old man of about fifty or sixty greeted him, this person had a blue face and a bitter face, perhaps the tragedy that happened in the village made no one happy.

Ah Jin said to the visitor: "Dumb uncle, these are the righteous men of the Han nationality mentioned by the crazy old man, and I brought them to see the patriarch." ”

Uncle Dumb bowed slightly, spread out his hand and made a gesture of please, let us into the hall, after taking a seat, Uncle Dumb served us tea, made a gesture of waiting and entered the inner hall.

After a while, a man in his forties, who did not look very generous, walked out, this man was the head of the family, but he looked a little cringe. Seeing us, he seemed very unenthusiastic, sat lukewarmly on the main seat, and stopped talking several times, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time, which made the atmosphere extremely embarrassing.

I wonder how there is such an unsuitable patriarch in the village! I feel that this person is extremely twisted, he can't say what he wants to say, he can't do it if he wants to, and the head of the clan is also miserable, and all the contradictions are gathered together.

Da Zhuang held his breath and said with a slashing face: "What the hell is going on, should you speak quickly?" ”
