Chapter 2, Yin and Yang Desperate Face
There is another thing that has not been listed, before Uncle Zhuzi left, he asked me to go to Hongdong County to find a person named Gu Zhongqiang, saying that this person had worked under him, but he just said that if he found him, what happened was my cause and effect, whether it was life or death, it all depended on whether my eight characters were really hard.
I was very confused, I didn't take it seriously, in the summer, a few elders in the family suddenly said that they didn't know how long they could live to go back to their ancestral land to see, and finally I knew that the place I was going to was Hongdong County, Shanxi.
Before I went, I remembered the instructions of the pillar uncle, so I carried the half of the Zhonglang seal and the crumpled brocade silk and followed the people of my family to the car to Shanxi.
Along the way through the Taihang Mountains, the road at that time was not as good as it is now, the bumps naturally needless to say, some sections of the road can only allow one car to pass, the roadbed is under the cliff, and the weather in the mountain is also the face of a child, it is impossible to say that it is a gust of wind and rain, the mud on the ground and the rain, always make people shudder.
Especially when going downhill, sometimes a steep slope is several kilometers long, which is even more intimidating.
"Bang" worried about the thing still happened, another big slope, a car in front of the breakdown, the car behind can not brake at all, directly hit it, two cars in no particular order to the ravine under the turnover, our car is behind the two cars, the front wheels can be on the edge of the cliff to stop, my palms sweat, I don't know when to hold the half of the impression, the mouth can't stop chanting "bless peace", wait for us to go down that part of the road, the car's brake drum has already been burned red, the driver carried a bucket of water to splash up, "poof" The water vapor rises more than one person high.
Later, after Hongdong County, I learned that there were only three of us who walked that section of the road that day, and the other cars returned to see the bad weather. Fortunately, the people who came later said that the two cars had overturned into the thorny ground, and although the passengers were injured, they did not die. After listening to it, I unconsciously touched the half of the impression, and I felt a kind of eagerness in my heart, and I even wanted to see that Gu Zhongqiang immediately to relieve the confusion in my heart.
I saw the old locust tree from a distance, the branches and leaves were not luxuriant, but the main trunk was so conspicuous and abrupt, the abdomen seemed to be hollow, not very tall but explained the vicissitudes of life, and the inheritance of life was like this.
"Millennial pine, 10,000-year-old cypress, not as good as the old locust tree for a rest", the ancient legend praises the long life of the old locust tree, the longevity of the pine, cypress and other trees have been boiled to death, but it is just like a rest and dead wood in spring and another reincarnation.
The whole ceremony of worshipping the ancestors was a little boring, and I was thinking in my heart about how to find the person who was called Guzhong Qiang, and as soon as the ceremony was completed, I ran out.
After looking for a long time, I haven't heard of a family surnamed Gu, "I don't say that I have a good seat with my clan, and I go out where is the wilderness" when I came back, and was scolded by the old man of the family in front of the Hongdong clan.
"Have you ever heard of the surname Gu under the old locust tree? Gu Zigu: "I saw the local people of Hongdong, and my eyes lit up and I stepped forward to ask.
"The surname Gu? Nope"
"But there is a family with the surname Gu, and there is no one in the family"
"Where do you live?" I asked eagerly.
"The most dilapidated house next to the Drum Tower is their house," I ran to the Drum Tower in the eyes of the elders of the clan.
The word "broken" is to describe the broken wall and ruins to describe the family's house, which is barely sheltered from the wind and rain by holding a few pieces of wood together.
There was a musty smell in the yard, but when I came in from the yard, not even a bird would fall, and there was a carriage about to pass by the gate of the yard before I entered the door just now, and the horse was stunned and did not go forward, and only retreated and did not go forward despite the whip of the coachman, which was very evil.
When I entered the house, there was an old man lying on the floor, his eyes were black, half of his face was black, half of his face was white, he was really panicked, I had heard all kinds of shocking stories told by Uncle Zhuzi, but I had seen such a strange situation with my own eyes, I wanted to leave the house but I found that I couldn't move.
I couldn't move, but the old man didn't react, and for a few minutes, the old man still didn't move, but his face was whiter and blacker. I really couldn't hold it anymore so I had to bite the bullet or ask: "Excuse me, but the old man in the valley, you always give me a good time", but I still haven't seen his response for a long time, I don't know if the old man is alive or deliberately teasing, I was just about to scold, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and his eyes were like lightning staring at my heart.
After reading it, the old man sighed again: "Little doll, can gold and stone be wealthy?" Can jade silk be used for meals? ”
"Old man, what you said is a bit profound, can you explain a thing or two," I replied with a confused face.
The old man sighed again: "Maotou Xiaoer, are you here to entertain my old man?"
I saw that he was impatient and very fierce, not like he was pretending, there must have been a misunderstanding, so I quickly told Uncle Zhu's explanation.
After listening to this, he was silent, and sighed for a long time, "You are late, I am no longer the Gu Ziqiang of the year, if you came over two years earlier, I can still take care of you, and now I am only a year old, how can I entrust him", he seemed to know that I didn't dare to look at his face, so he didn't stare at me, but I knew that he was paying attention to me.
"What's the last name?"
"The surname is Zhu," I hurriedly replied.
"But Zhu Yunwen's Zhu?"
"Ah, yes, that's right!"
The old man turned around and looked at me again before saying, "Oh, that's right, Master has a token to pass on to you", and before I could speak, he smacked his mouth again, "I see that your face is still a bit auspicious."
This time it was my turn to be surprised, "You are the apprentice of Uncle Zhuzi?" ”
When the old man heard this, his face stretched and he smiled proudly: "That is, back then, the master took me to watch the mountains, look at the sea, fall down the mountains, and fill in the gullies, how happy it was, and now the master is gone, leaving me with this remnant to carry this walking corpse, sad!" When the Chinese New Year's Eve Sixth Road Warrior followed the master into the sunset abyss of Kuocang Mountain in Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province to explore the Jianmu Doubtful Tomb, how could he enter more than 100 people, and in the end only I and the master came out·····"
When I saw that his eyes were shining when he talked about his master, and he had completely lost the appearance of being on the verge of death, I placed the two things left by the pillar master in front of him.
"This is Master's Zhonglang seal? I thought that the master had thrown it in the Jianmu Doubtful Tomb, but I didn't expect it to be passed on to you" snatched it from my hand as he spoke, looked at it again and again, rubbed it with his hands, and put it in my hand for a long time, so that I could hide it well, and I didn't even look at the brocade silk.
"Don't think about it, I've seen that brocade many times, I originally thought that the token that the master gave you should be this brocade silk, but I didn't expect that even the Tianguan seal was given to you, and you will call me senior brother in the future" He seemed to know my doubts.
"Senior brother, what's the matter with your face?"
The old man was happy: "After returning from Qingtian County, the master asked me to go back to the big locust tree to retire and wait for the letter, and I must not enter the dangerous place again, if I wait until the master comes back in person, then the disaster must be gone, otherwise I will not be allowed to enter the dangerous place again half a step in the life of the mountain, but when I came back, I got a map from the hands of a large family of mother-in-law, the map is some years, others can't understand it, and when it comes to my hands, it is natural that any secret has surfaced, it is a spiritual vein, and someone has built a tomb on it, You must know that not everyone can build a tomb on the spiritual vein, non-princes are not allowed to enter and there must be treasures to suppress the spiritual vein, and after death, burial not only to obtain detachment can also nourish the family's luck in the rivers and mountains, I was carried away by this information, regardless of the master's instructions, led a group of people to explore the cave to find the tomb, but has not yet entered the tomb The ground is full of big corpse cockroaches, and several good hands have been lost one after another, the back road was cut off, and I had to flee into the tomb, but there was no air, some were just corpses, and when I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge of the spiritual veinLater, I checked a lot of ancient books, and I knew that this is called Yin and Yang Desperate Face, and I guess that one side of the face is all white and the other side is all black, and my birthday has arrived."
"Is there no way?"
"Ordinary people often say that tomb robbers steal gold and silver treasures, but they don't know that the most precious thing they stole from the tomb owner is peace, and what they stole is their souls.
The old man looked at me with a smile, as if he was talking to himself and as if he was hinting at me, but I was too shallow to understand it for a while.
After a long time, I patted my head in a daze, my eyes were gloomy, and I sighed for a long time: "Method? It's not nothing, but it's not easy, maybe there's a glimmer of hope to find the suppressed spirit vein baby, but it's up to you to be a chick? The master who will definitely not last a minute in the corpse qi when he enters, not to mention that you can deal with those corpse cockroaches? ”
"What, what is a corpse cockroach? One minute? "I couldn't help but feel a chill at the thought of the legendary disgusting image of insects eating people.
