Chapter Ninety-Three: A Village Without Man

We were all pleasantly surprised, because the meaning of the secretary's words proved that he also knew a little bit about the Taiping Tomb, which made us all stare at the secretary as if we had seen the hope of the lights again in the darkness, waiting for his next words.

The branch secretary smiled and said: "About the Taiping Tomb, you ask me, that is to ask the right person, except for one or two older generations in our village who still know about the Taiping Tomb, that is no one else knows." Hehe. ”

"Oh? Then we are really lucky, I wonder if the branch secretary can tell us about this Taiping Tomb, whether its place name no longer exists? I was very excited, but I didn't dare to show it too much, so I just pretended to be curious about it and asked.

The branch secretary said: "Taiping Tomb is not actually a place name, but the name of a large tomb, but you are right, the name of this Taiping Tomb does not exist for people today, because no one knows it." ”

We are overjoyed, not the name of the place, but the name of the tomb, which further confirms that this may be the location of the treasure, because the treasure is usually buried in the ground, or buried with the tomb.

At that moment, Lao Tang couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "Branch secretary, I don't know whose grave this Taiping Tomb refers to?" Is the grave still there? ”

The branch secretary said: "The Taiping Tomb refers to the tomb of Zhang Jiao, the ancestor of Taiping Dao, whether the tomb is still there now, because it has been so long, and no one has been there, who knows." ”

Lao Tang said: "The branch secretary, you know so much about this, you should know the location of the Taiping Tomb, right?" ”

The branch secretary smiled, shook his head and said, "I really don't know the specific direction, I also listened to the old people of my previous generation." The reason why I know so much when you ask about the Taiping Tomb is because the allusion of our place name is actually named after the tomb of Zhang Jiao on Taiping Road. Because the tomb of Zhangjiao of Taiping Road fell in our place, our place was called Taiping Town in ancient times. However, before the liberation, the population here became smaller, so it was changed to Taiping Village. ”

We nodded, thinking that no wonder this old man knew about the Taiping Tomb, and the origin of the name of the Taiping Village, which was also derived from the name of the Taiping Tomb. However, when we heard that the tomb was the tomb of Zhang Jiao, the founder of Taiping Dao, we believed that we were not looking for the wrong place this time, because according to Xu Xiaolin, the treasure was buried in the ground with Zhang Jiao, which coincided with the statement of the branch secretary. In other words, as long as we find the Taiping Tomb, it is equivalent to finding the treasure of the Yellow Turban Army.

Thinking of this, I asked him: "Branch secretary, you said that you don't know the specific location of the Taiping Tomb, but do you know the general direction?" ”

The branch secretary said: "Well, I only know that before the liberation, we called Taiping Town, and there was a real small village in the mountains, called Taiping Village. It is said that the tomb of Zhangjiao of Taiping Road is near Taiping Village, because I heard from the old people of my previous generation that the people of Taiping Village in the past are said to be the disciples of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road, and the reason why they stayed in front of the tomb is to guard the tomb, and this guard has been guarded for thousands of years, from generation to generation. ”

As soon as I heard that there is a small village in the mountain, that is the real Taiping Village, the people in the village are the tombs for generations, we are all stunned, if this is the case, let alone looking for treasures, it is estimated that when you go to the tomb, the villagers who guard the tomb will come to stare at you.

Xu Xiaolin asked: "Then the village in the mountain, also called Taiping Village, I don't know how far away it is, and there are many people guarding the tomb?" ”

I know what Xu Xiaolin meant by asking, she wanted to inquire about the people guarding the tomb in that village, if there were few people, maybe we could still do it secretly. Of course, if there are a lot of people, if we are caught by others, not all of our lives will not be saved, and if one person comes up to beat a stick, we will have to lose half of our lives if we don't die.

But the branch secretary said: "That village is long gone, otherwise our village would not have been changed to Taiping Village later." Because there was no one in the Taiping Village in the mountain, our Taiping Town was later changed to Taiping Village. ”

When we heard this, we were stunned and asked, "Is there no one in that village?" ”

"Yes, there was no one for a long time, I heard from the people in the past, that there was a plague in that village, and then all the people in the village died, and some people said that there were zombies in that village, and all the people in the village were bitten to death by zombies, anyway, everyone has different opinions and don't know which statement is true. In short, this was two or three hundred years ago, and now almost no one in Taiping Village knows about it. The secretary preached.

"The whole village is dead?" We frowned, but this was good news for us, without the grave keeper, as long as we found the Taiping Tomb, we could do what we wanted to do with confidence.

At this time, Xu Xiaolin asked the branch secretary: "Branch secretary, can you take us to the village where there is no one?" ”

When the branch secretary heard this, he was startled, as if he was very scared, and hurriedly stopped: "No, no, no, that village can't go, it will die." ”

"Will someone die?" We were stunned, so I said, "Is there something wrong with that village, why can't you go?" ”

The branch secretary said: "Young man, you don't know this, because the whole village was dead, so it is often haunted and very evil. I've heard of people going to the vicinity of that village before, and when they pass by, you can see the shadows of the village drifting, and some people can hear the crying. There were also people who heard the villagers shouting his name, and as a result, the people who had been to the neighborhood came back with no good end, and they didn't die in the end, and they all went crazy, stupid, even if they were haunted by ghosts. In short, you can't go to that place, otherwise you will be unlucky. ”

"How can there be such a strange thing?" We were all stunned, Xu Xiaolin and they all looked at me and asked me if there were dead people in the village, if it was really haunted.

I nodded, and told them that if they died unjustly, they would indeed linger in the village and ask for their lives.

Everyone was a little scared when I said that. Yes, who is not afraid of ghosts?

At this time, the party secretary said to us, "By the way, you must not go to that village, otherwise it will be too late to regret it." ”

I said, "Thank you for your concern, but we're here for the Taihei Mound, and we have to go anyway." ”

The branch secretary was startled and shouted, "Young man, don't go, don't you think I'm deliberately scaring you, I'm doing it for your good." ”

I smiled, and I was very grateful to this old branch secretary. At this time, Xu Xiaolin said: "Branch secretary, we are here to study the Taiping Tomb, to make up for the mystery of the life of Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army in history, in order not to leave a mystery in history, as researchers in the Department of History, it is necessary to make a little contribution to this." Besides, we advocate science and don't believe in superstition, but thank you for your concern. ”

Hearing that we had to go to that village to find the Taiping Tomb, the branch secretary was so angry that he stomped his feet, and finally he said: "Since you have to go, I will guide you down to that village, but if something really happens to you, don't blame me for warning you in advance." ”

We nodded, thanked the secretary, and made an appointment to set off for the village where no one existed tomorrow morning.

That night, we were all very excited, because we had finally found a specific location for this Taiping Tomb, which undoubtedly meant that we were about to succeed. Thinking that soon, we will be able to get a treasure that rivals the richness of the country, everyone is very eager to run to the Taiping Village a long time ago.

Without further ado, the next morning, after breakfast, we left this Taiping Village under the leadership of the branch secretary and went to the "Taiping Village" that has long been forgotten by the world.

The party secretary told us that in the past, Taiping Village was fifty or sixty miles away from here, and we had to climb several mountains. Hundreds of years ago, there were still roads at that time, and then the people of that village died, and there were no roads left. The difference between civilized society and primitive society lies in this, human beings, are all factors.

Listening to the meaning of the branch secretary, the "Taiping Village" that disappeared two or three hundred years ago is actually a place where no one can go anymore, and what that Taiping Village looks like now, no one knows, whether there is still a village, whether there are still houses, whether it has long become a dense forest, no one knows, or there are fierce spirits wandering and corpses everywhere.

The branch secretary took us out of the village, and after walking more than ten miles of mountain roads, we stopped, because there was no road in front of us, and the high mountains were lined up in front of us, and the trees in the mountains were dense, and if we wanted to go to the uninhabited village, we had to climb over the mountains and mountains from this dense forest to reach.

The branch secretary said: "I can only send you here, you have been walking towards the west, climbing a few mountains, about forty miles of mountain road, almost there." Remember, if something goes wrong, come back and be careful. ”

We thanked the branch secretary, and we didn't really want him to take us to the village, after all, we were going to hunt for treasures, and this matter could only be done secretly, and no outsiders could know about it. Second, that uninhabited village was so terrifying by the branch secretary, although I don't know if it's true or not, but there is no reason to let the branch secretary take risks with us.

At that moment, Xu Xiaolin took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and forcibly gave it to the branch secretary, just as we gave him the food money last night.

In this way, the branch secretary went back, and we continued to rush over the mountains and mountains to the uninhabited village to ......<
