The old man waved his hand and let himself follow him, Ning Yang saw that there seemed to be hospitality on his face, so he followed him, and heard the old man limp back, and said, "Young man, how did you get to this deep mountain so late?" Are you lost? However, seeing that you still have a dog by your side, it's not as simple as getting lost, right? ”

The old man has a heavier Sichuan sound than the black pillar, but, fortunately, it doesn't sound difficult, Ning Yang saw that the old man's tone was kind, his face was also indifferent, and he didn't mean anything else, so he said: "I came to this village to find He Gang?" ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "So you want to go to Fulong Mountain?" Looking at your equipment, I guess you also want to go to Fulong Mountain to find that demon tomb? ”

"Demon Tomb?"

Ning Yang was puzzled when he heard this, but said, "Old man, I don't know what demon tombs are?" I went to Fulong Mountain to find someone. A few days ago, an old man entered Fulong Mountain, I don't know if he came to this village? ”

The old man sighed: "I have seen the old man." In terms of dress and temperament, he is really good, and he still looks like a master, but when he went to Fulong Mountain, it seems that he also went to rob tombs. The day before yesterday, Xiao Gang led the way for the old man. How? Are you going to him? For what? ”

Ning Yang just smiled and didn't say anything, the old man seemed to know that he was asking more, and said with a smile: "When you are old, you just talk a lot." Don't be disgusted, young man! However, it is rumored that there is a demon tomb in Fulong Mountain, and at night, there are demon clouds there. Once, there were people in our village who wanted to dig the big tomb, but as a result, five people went to it, only one came back, and said crazy that there were monsters there, and then Fulong Mountain became a forbidden place in the village, except for some hunters in the village who went into the mountains to hunt, basically did not dare to approach the border of Fulong Mountain. However, over the years, I don't know what rumors have attracted many tomb robbers, and they all want to enter Fulong Mountain and dig the demon tomb. Those people really don't believe in evil? Some people haven't even found the tomb, while others have gone and never returned, anyway, there are many strange things in that place. Young man, if there is nothing important, old man, I still advise you not to go to Fulong Mountain, your life is at stake? ”

Ning Yang smiled bitterly: "Old man, I won't lie to you. It's really a matter of human life for me to go to find that old man, it's a matter of my wife's life, even if there are really demons and monsters, I'm going to break through! ”

"I see!"

The old man seemed to be very sorry when he heard it, and probably thought that Ning Yang might stay in the mountains, so he stopped talking, but Ning Yang changed the topic and said: "Listen to the old man, have you been to Fulong Mountain?" ”

The old man nodded, but then pointed to his lameness: "Even if I know and want to take you there, it's impossible!" Xiao Gang did eat this bowl of rice, and most people who went into the mountains looked for him to lead the way. However, I'm afraid that tonight is not a good place to meet him? ”

Ning Yang was puzzled when he heard this, and the old man pointed to the high courtyard that had been lit up in the distance: "That's Xiaogang's home, but his family is getting married tonight?" ”

Ning Yang pretended to be strange and asked, "Marriage at night?" Is that really weird? ”

The old man squeezed out a smile: "It's a happy event, but it's actually ...... Forget it, young man, I think you will stay here with the old man Ningyang, talk to me, and go to Xiaogang tomorrow, right? Tomorrow, he should have time too! ”

Ning Yang thought to himself that it was really a little unlucky, the guide that Cui Laodao introduced to him turned out to be the He family who was doing a secret marriage, and frowned slightly, but time was pressing, Cui Laodao was in this deep mountain, and he didn't know if it was enough to toss? It was better to find him earlier, and I felt more at ease, so I stubbornly said: "My matter is very urgent, it's better to go and see." I'm getting married, so I want to congratulate and send some congratulatory gifts? ”

The old man walked to the door of his wooden house, pulled Ning Yang into his house with a somewhat ugly face, and said with a solemn face: "Young man, it's not that the old man wants to lie to you, but the marriage of Xiaogang's family, you outsiders better not go?" Their family is not an ordinary marriage, but a ......"

Ning Yang said: "And what?" ”

The old man didn't seem to want to explain the problem thoroughly, but seeing that Ning Yang was stubborn to go, he sighed and said: "It's a secret marriage, it's a marriage for the deceased!" Actually, old man, I can tell you this, I have already violated some taboos in the village, but when I was young, I had been outside and had some knowledge, so the terms and conditions of these customs and taboos were not as deeply rooted as some of the elders here, but I still tried not to touch them. Young man, although you look full of complexion, this secret marriage is always not good for people, so when the dark marriage is done in the evening, you will be fine if you go again tomorrow! ”

Ning Yang suddenly smiled and said: "Old man, I know that you care about the kid, but you may not know it, I went to find that old man, in fact, he is a Taoist priest, and it just so happens that I am traveling with him, and he is also a little Taoist priest, so I still know some about these netherworld things." Secret marriage is really taboo. However, it didn't affect me very much, and my matter was really urgent, and I couldn't delay it for a moment! ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at Ning Yang seriously, but found that his face remained unchanged, and his smile was light, as if he was not lying, so he sighed: "Since this is the case, then I won't persuade much, but let's drink saliva first, and your big backpack." You go to see Xiao Gang with this backpack on your back, many people in the village are now helping in his yard, and it's almost time for dinner, I'm afraid it's not good to see you like this? ”

Ning Yang looked at the big backpack placed next to him, took the boiling water handed over by the old man, took a sip, frowned and worried, and the old man said: "Young man, it's better to be like this, if you can trust the old man and me, just put the things here, and you can get them tomorrow." Don't worry, I'm a lame old man, and I won't do anything crooked! ”

Ning Yang hurriedly said: "Old man, you are too careful. By the way, what's going on in He Gang's house? For a secret marriage, who in his family died? ”

The old man seemed to believe that Ning Yang was a Taoist priest, so he sat on the wooden bench next to him and sighed: "It was He Gang's son 'He Wei' who died, and he had just turned eighteen years old. What a sin! ”

Ning Yang said: "There is no such thing as evil in this world? The cause of the past life, the effect of the future life! He Wei may not have committed any mistakes or major sins in this life, but the sins of his previous life made him unable to enjoy the blessings of this life, this is the cycle of cause and effect, there is no theory of evil, this is the ordinary world to look at life from the perspective of the present life, somewhat biased and intuitive one-sided, without a deep understanding of the so-called cause and effect. ”

The old man nodded: "Maybe, but in this life, I am an ordinary person, so I naturally have to look at all this from the eyes of the world, if everyone looks at you like this, then this world may not be what it is now, I am afraid that it is a situation where demons and monsters are raging everywhere, and people's hearts will scare themselves to death!" ”
