Yun Ling thought to himself,

"What a quirky village......"

The four of them followed the old man into the house, Shen Qianhua and the three of them were already shivering from the cold, the old man was very enthusiastic, and filled the stove with some wood, and took out some old clothes, and motioned for the three of them to change first.

Shen Qianhua and the three of them took their clothes to the back room, the old man's wife was cooking breakfast on the stove, and Yun Ling was sitting in front of the fire with the old man chatting......

"Grandpa, why is this called a mosquito-free village?"

The old man frowned,

"Mosquito-free village, the name is strange, as the name suggests, there are no mosquitoes in this village in summer, and there are many legends about the village......"

It just so happened that Shen Qianhua and the others were still changing their clothes, and Yun Ling was also idle, listening carefully to the old man telling the legend about the mosquito-free village......

The old man's surname is Xu, and there are only more than 60 households in this village, most of whom are surnamed Xu, and it is also known as Xujia Village.

According to legend, Xujiacun is a descendant of Xu You. Xu You, the ancient Gaoshi, is hidden in Keishan. According to legend, Emperor Yao wanted him to take over, but he refused to obey and retreated to the foot of Kei Mountain. Emperor Yao was the leader of the tribal alliance in the later period of the patrilineal clan society, and was very politically enlightened, visiting the virtuous everywhere to give way to Xu You. Xu You didn't even want to take the throne, which shows his high wind and bright festival.

It is recorded in the "Origin of Xu Village" on the wall of the gatehouse of Xujia Village that during the Wei and Jin dynasties, a branch of the surname Xu in Henan moved to Xuyuan, Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province to settle down, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty, some of the surnames Xu moved from Fuzhou to Longhu Mountain, making a living from fishing and hunting, and this group of people was the ancestor of the Xu family who lived here at the earliest!

The origin of the mosquito-free village comes from another legend......

Longhu Mountain is the birthplace of Taoism, according to legend, once Zhang Tianshi and his mother returned to Tianshi's Mansion from Tushi Palace to spend the night in Xujia Village, there were many mosquitoes at night, disturbing Zhang's mother to sit and lie restless. The Heavenly Master is a filial son, and when he picked up the Dharma fan and waved his hand, the mosquitoes immediately fled. Since then, there have been no more mosquitoes in Xujia Village.

This story is also said to be a good story, because of its strong educational significance, so Xujia Village has since officially changed its name to Mosquito-free Village.

Yun Ling listened to the story, naturally also has his own ideas, the legend is a legend, it is not credible after all, it is built by the mountain, living in front of the water, the Luxi River in front of the village is crystal clear, bubbling and flowing. Since ancient times, it has been said that flowing water does not rot, and it has put an end to the soil where mosquitoes and flies breed.

What's more, when she just came in, Yun Ling noticed that there are camphor trees and eucalyptus trees that can repel mosquitoes in front of and behind the houses of the mosquito-free village houses, and the fragrant fragrance of camphor trees and eucalyptus trees can indeed inhibit the growth of mosquitoes.

However, Yun Ling's inquiring about the legend here was not to study why there were no mosquitoes here, but the main purpose of coming here this time......

Shen family!

Yun Ling's brows furrowed slightly, while recalling what the fat man said before......

Longhu Mountain is because Zhang Daoling is alchemy here, "Dan Cheng and Dragon and Tiger Present" is named, and according to the story told by the old man, the history of Xujia Village can be traced back to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and Zhang Daoling is the Western Han Dynasty and the Emperor came here for alchemy!

In this way, the history of Xujia Village came later than the name of Longhu Mountain......

Yun Ling was also faintly disappointed, according to what the fat man said, the history of the Shen family was earlier than that of the Zhang Daoist in Longhu Mountain!

Originally, Yun Ling was also going to use some legends of Xujia Village to try to explore the Shen family that was earlier than Zhang Tianshi, but now he could only give up, if it was really like what the fat man said, then the existing history could not be traced back to such a long time ago.

Shen Qianhua Wucheng and the fat man also changed their clothes and walked out of the back room, their faces were blue from the cold before, but now their complexions are much better, and the three of them sat down next to each other on the earthen kang in the outhouse, it was so cold before that they didn't bother to take a closer look at the farmhouse......

Shen Qianhua likes this feeling very much, the reinforced concrete in the city can show the progress of science and technology and the times, but it also seems to cut off the warmth between people, and these ordinary houses can make people feel extra warm.

Yun Ling sat in front of the stove, his face was red under the reflection of the fire, very cute, and the porridge in the pot also wafted out bursts of fragrance, and Shen Qianhua's stomach couldn't help but growl......

"I'm hungry, just wait a little longer......"

The uncle's wife was very kind, and as she spoke, she added firewood to the stove.

Shen Qianhua raised his head and swept around, the whole room was very simple, except for some necessary furniture, there were almost no superfluous furnishings, only an old cabinet above the wall was pasted with a painting that seemed to be hand-painted, probably because of the long time, the colors on the paintings were already very dim.

Shen Qianhua is more strange, because the person on the painting does not look like a Taoist priest here at all, nor is it Guanyin Buddha or the like, Taoist priests generally tie their hair, and Guanyin Buddha doesn't need to say more......

The man in the painting sits quietly on a stone platform, his hair is naturally draped over his shoulders, and his eyes are not kind and kind, but as sharp as a knife! In his sharp eyes, there is still a vicissitudes that seem to see through everything in the world......

Shen Qianhua looked at the man's eyes painted above, and his spirit was in a trance, but it returned to normal in an instant, Shen Qianhua frowned slightly, and always felt that this painting seemed to be too realistic and expressive, and suddenly the thing behind the man caught his attention!

A square pillar was behind the man, because many parts of the painting had been blurred, so Shen Qianhua hadn't noticed what was exposed behind the man's long hair before, but now that he saw it, it felt like the square pillar he had taken out at the bottom of the river!

The corpses are sunk at the bottom of the river, but the things that are suppressed are not like the magic weapons of the Taoists of Longhu Mountain! So, suppress the ghosts...... Someone else!

And it's very likely that it's the person enshrined by the old man's family!

Shen Qianhua suppressed the shock in his heart and asked the old man,

"The person in this painting doesn't look like Zhang Tianshi?"

The old man was stunned, turned his head to look at the painting on the wall, and smiled honestly,

"Who told you that this is Zhang Tianshi......"

"Forehead ......"

Shen Qianhua scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked again,

"And what is...?"

The old man smiled,

"I don't know very well, every household here hangs this painting, it is the blind mother-in-law once dreamed that the coffin of Longhu Mountain once hung in the place to breed evil, but was a person with great mana at the bottom of the river, after waking up from the dream, the blind mother-in-law painted the appearance of this person, rubbed out a lot of copies, and then distributed to every household, so that a stick of incense in the morning and evening was enshrined......"

Shen Qianhua listened to the uncle's words, and was shocked, it was exactly the same as what he had encountered!

"There are ghosts in this river...?!"

The old man laughed a few times before saying,

"What the hell, Longhu Mountain is a big road, how can any ghost dare to appear here, old man, I've been fishing here all my life, I've never seen any ghosts, hahaha!"

Shen Qianhua did not relax in the slightest...... Because they've seen it!

"What the blind woman said...... And who is this blind mother-in-law......"

"It's all a dream, where can I take it seriously, but the blind mother-in-law is the oldest person in this village, and now she is more than one hundred and twenty years old, and she has been here for a long time before I was born, so everyone is obedient to her words, as for this painting, hang it, it's okay."

The old man chattered for a long time, and Shen Qianhua didn't listen to it, but was very curious about this blind mother-in-law, this matter may be fantastical for others, but it is important information for the four of them!

After all, the events of last night are still vivid......

Shen Qianhua quietly discussed with Yun Ling and the three of them, and they also agreed to visit this blind mother-in-law, even if they didn't know what the ferryman was, they could also know what the square pillar from the bottom of the river was, and what were the consequences of Shen Qianhua releasing a group of ghosts!

The four of them had breakfast at the old man's house, and Yun Ling opened his eyes wide and proposed to visit the longevity old man, and the old man was also a little helpless.

"It's not that I don't take you...... The blind mother-in-law's temper is also very strange, I haven't seen her for some years, these years have been staying in their own yard and have never come out, a few days ago the village chief went to eat closed-door soup, she only likes some children on weekdays, and ordinary people can't see the blind mother-in-law's ......"

Shen Qianhua was stunned, this temper was really weird......

Such a small village, all neighbors, haven't seen each other for some years...?

Isn't that an exaggeration......

"Grandpa~ You can take us there, if you can't see it, you'll die~"

Yun Ling said with big eyes.

made Shen Qianhua and Wu Cheng feel a chill, this goods are endless...... Disgusting......

Sure enough, the elderly can't afford this......

"Then I'll only take you there, as for whether you can see it, you can see it yourself......"

The old man reluctantly made the last concession.

"Okay, okay~ Thank you, grandpa!"

Yun Ling was as excited as a child, but when the old man turned around and went out, Yun Ling came to Shen Qianhua and Wu Cheng's side and smiled faintly......

"What's your expression?"

"No... Not... What ......"

"Say it well!"

"Beautiful... The eldest sister is so beautiful! ”

……

The village is not big, the old man took Shen Qianhua and the four of them out of the door, and they arrived after a few turns, the terrain of the small mountain village is not very flat, and this yard is the highest foundation in a village, in feudal society, the higher the house is built, the higher the status will naturally be, it seems that the status of the blind mother-in-law in the village is really not built!

The old man took Shen Qianhua and the four of them to the gate and went back directly, obviously he didn't want to meet the blind mother-in-law, which also made Shen Qianhua panic for a while, how strange is this temper......

Yun Ling knocked lightly on the door, and stood quietly at the door waiting, but there was no sound in the courtyard for a long time, let alone someone opening the door!

Yun Ling endured his temperament, increased his strength slightly, and his ears may not be very good when he is older, so he knocked three times with a "puff".

There was still no sound in the courtyard, and no one came to open the door, Wu Cheng was in a hurry, and he was about to shout when he opened his mouth, and then an old voice slowly sounded......

"Let's go."

The voice was hoarse and old, like a sigh.

Yun Ling had no choice but to explain,

"Come to visit your seniors, and your seniors are accommodating!"

"Get out!"

The old man's voice seemed to be a little angry, and one word made Shen Qianhua's faces change a little!
