"Bamboo, what bamboo?" Liao Qingjiang was a little unsure.

"Do you remember, the bamboos on both sides of the front of the bamboo building in the village have been scraped with knives, and some have even been directly replaced with new ones, maybe those bamboos are the key to the seven killing arrays that have not been launched."

Hiss......

Liao Qingjiang couldn't help but gasp: "I have paid attention to the bamboos on both sides of the bamboo building, but I thought it was some custom of the Miao family, so I never asked." ”

When he said this, he suddenly realized that Feng Tingting was still by his side, but it was too late, and Feng Tingting had heard all these words.

I also realized that the two of us had completely forgotten about Feng Tingting just now because of our agitated hearts, and our faces suddenly darkened: The two of us had discussed escaping. But don't let this little girl notice that something is wrong.

But Feng Tingting had obviously heard it, she frowned, and said, "You said those bamboos!" I noticed it too, but I always thought it was replaced when the bamboo building was being built. Although the bamboo building of the Miao family is strong and durable, it will also decay, and if it is found to be broken, it will be repaired and replaced. ”

I saw that Feng Tingting didn't seem to be wary of us, so I asked tentatively, "Then think about it carefully." What does the bamboo that hasn't been changed look like before, there must be something special about it. ”

Feng Tingting frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "When I was a child, I often came to Jinhuazhai to play, but I never seemed to pay close attention to the bamboo on both sides of the door of the bamboo building, it's so strange, I remember everything else clearly, why don't I have any impression at all?" ”

Apparently, she was also confused.

Liao Qingjiang slapped his thigh suddenly: "It must be a special magic circle, a kind of magic with a hypnotic effect, which makes people subconsciously ignore it, and even confuses people's memory, making people unable to remember the content at all." ”

As soon as he said this, Feng Tingting also seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "I remember, I remember that the bamboos on both sides of the bamboo buildings in the village seem to be carved with beautiful and complex patterns, but I can't remember what those patterns look like now." ”

Liao Qingjiang and I glanced at each other: Yes, it must be like this. The intricate patterns on the bamboo are the real reason why the Seven Killing Arrays didn't work, maybe there are other effects, otherwise these bamboos wouldn't have been deliberately scraped or replaced before we arrived.

It's just that replacing those carved bamboos will make the Seven Killing Array activate? Causing harm to the people in the stockade? Are we in the midst of it? I feel something strange in the stockade, is it caused by the activation of the Seven Killing Array?

I was calculating all kinds of possibilities in my heart, and Feng Tingting over there couldn't stand it anymore, she got up and said: "Since I can't remember what pattern is engraved on the bamboo, then I'll go to the village and ask my cousin, or ask those mothers-in-law, they must know." ”

"No, I can't. Absolutely not! Liao Qingjiang and I said in unison.

"Why?!" Feng Tingting was a little aggrieved.

At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind me: "What are you talking about?" What is absolutely not going to work? ”

Liao Qingjiang and I were both startled, and when we turned our heads, we saw the woman pretending to be my mother slowly climbing up from the peak.

My heart immediately rose to my throat: why didn't this woman come early or late, but she suddenly arrived at this time. How much did she listen to our conversation just now? Moreover, the two of us forgot to avoid Feng Tingting when we talked just now, will Feng Tingting tell her all these words later?

Feng Tingting saw the woman coming up, and stepped forward excitedly to grab her arm: "Cousin, why are you here too?" ”

"I can't find the three of you in the stockade, and I guess that you, the leather monkey, brought the two of them here to see the scenery, you, when you were a child, you were trapped on it and scared and cried, and now you have forgotten it all?"

"Cousin, how can you expose people like this!" Feng Tingting rarely blushed.

"That's right. What were you talking about? ”

Feng Tingting glanced at the two of us, and didn't know what she thought, so she turned her words around and pulled the woman and said, "Auntie." I've always felt that Jinhuazhai is like a human face since I was a child, do you see it? ”

The woman seemed to have suddenly realized, nodded and said, "It turns out that you are talking about this, but in fact, the layout of this village has a history. ”

"Where did it come from?" Feng Tingting looked curious.

"Legend has it that in the past, there was a very special place in this area of our Miaojiang. It's called the 100,000 Great Mountain. No one knows the specific location of the 100,000 mountains, but it will appear from time to time, and those who strayed into the 100,000 mountains will evaporate from the world. Hardly anyone made it back alive. ”

My heart suddenly rushed like a hundred thousand divine beasts: What's the matter? Why is it that this myth and legend has always been today? Liao Qingjiang said, this woman who pretended to be my mother also said?

"Later, there was a clansman who had a great life and escaped back miraculously after entering the 100,000 mountains. But he was badly wounded, and after telling what he had seen in it, he died. ”

He said that there are countless strange beasts and fierce birds in the 100,000 mountains, as well as countless poisons. Some have never been seen at all, unheard of, and even more terrifying, in the middle of a hundred thousand mountains. There was a huge volcano that erupted magma day and night, and next to the volcano sat a huge headless giant, who stretched out his hand and kept groping around, as if looking for his own head. Wherever the palm of his hand went, strange beasts and fierce birds fled in all directions, hurting people everywhere, and he was attacked by these strange beasts and fierce birds. will flee back scarred. ”

The priest of the clan listened to his words and knew that the headless giant who was looking for the head would not stop for a day, and our Miao family would not be at peace for a day, so they came up with an idea, and when building the village, they deliberately built the village into the appearance of a human face, so that the headless giant would think that he had found his head. It's slowly going to stop. ”

"Huh?!" A few of us young people couldn't help but exclaim, this story is a little too magical, as if it has been completely out of time.

"These are all myths and legends, what is the situation. I can't say clearly, but an old village like Jinhuazhai will choose this layout when it is built, which is said to bless the safety of the village. ”

"Why are the bamboos on both sides of the gate of the bamboo building in the village scraped? Some have been replaced with new ones? Feng Tingting asked.

"Well, it's all engraved with a blessing pattern before, but it's raining a lot this year, and I don't know what's wrong. Those carved patterns are all moldy, so they have to be replaced with new ones, and in the next two days you can see the mother-in-law and they show their skills and carve patterns for those bamboos. ”

When we came down from the peak, Liao Qingjiang and I were a little embarrassed, looking at the steep rocks, our legs were a little weak with fright, but fortunately, there was only no danger.

When I returned to the village, Liao Qingjiang and I were dragged to eat together, eating the special food here, and there were fried insects, and I was a little nauseous at first. But after tasting it, it was really delicious.

But my mind was not on food, I kept thinking about what I heard the woman say on the mountain peak, what 100,000 headless giants in the mountains were looking for heads. This does correspond to the legend of the Emperor of Heaven killing the demon god and cutting off his head.

But the layout of the village can never be so simple as a tradition, not to mention that so many things have happened in the Ji family, the woman should also know the meaning behind these things, what does it mean that she deliberately used a myth and legend to deceive children like this?

She thought she could fool me? Let me continue to stay in the stockade with peace of mind? Or did she think I hadn't seen the giant's head in the illusion? Thought I didn't know anything, that this was just a delaying tactic?

After eating, I returned to the bamboo building, I was still thinking about these things, Liao Qingjiang was pulled downstairs by Feng Tingting to the room downstairs, helped him massage his body, and eliminated the soreness caused by climbing.

Just as I was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the bamboo stairs, and I opened the door to see it, and I was stunned that it was actually the woman who came.

She walked in and smiled, "Ji Zang, aren't you welcome to me?" ”

"No, I'm just thinking about things."

The woman's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly spoke, "Ji Zang, there is something I must tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, I'm not your mother."

Yes?!
