Seeing that the old man refused to speak, Qin Rui frowned, and when he wanted to ask again, Ling Kai had already taken the lead and said, "That's right, then thank you a few more." ”

The old people got up one after another to say goodbye, and after they were all gone, the old man who brought me in the door beckoned us to go up to the second floor to rest, Ling Kai glanced at me, although he didn't speak, but I understood what he meant, and they went upstairs in silence without mentioning it.

There are only three rooms on the second floor, the innermost one is locked, and the two outside are not very bright, but the beds made of solid wood are very spacious, and two people will not feel cramped.

A silver-haired old lady was helping us change our sheets and quilt covers, and we couldn't help but be polite to each other, and we didn't get together to discuss it until the old couple was gone.

"The ghost gate they are talking about, could it be the tomb of the ancestor of the witch we are looking for?" Qin Rui asked Ling Kai straight to the point, because I hadn't heard the previous story, I couldn't help but interrupt, "What the hell?" ”

Li Hongxun told me the story told by a few old people in Yongning Village, and I was very curious to hear it, but I felt that the stories that circulated in this village were really mysterious.

It turns out that this Yongning Village used to be a big village, hundreds of years ago also lived in hundreds of households, during the Song Dynasty, there was a big official in the village, in order to show grace to the villagers, specially built a private school, for the children in the village to study and learn words, in the future to get fame and glory to the ancestors.

Because of this incident, the cultural level of Yongning Village has improved, almost every family can read and write, and it is also very famous when it is in the county seat.

But then one day, a group of outsiders came to the village, these people stayed in the village, and ran to the back mountain, the villagers began to feel a little strange, but they didn't understand what they were doing, until a few months later, in the middle of the night, the villagers all heard a loud bang, the ground shook the mountains, and when they ran out to see, they saw dark clouds covering the sun, flying sand and stones, obviously and the mountains connected to the Qinling Mountains outside the Guanhai were split in half by some sharp weapon, and the rocks rolled to cause dust to fill the sky, and the heavens and the earth shook.

At that time, the people were more ignorant, thinking that the punishment of heaven was coming, and they were so frightened that they all bowed to the ground and bowed to the heavens, and the heavens seemed to really hear their prayers, and after about half an hour all the visions were restored to the original, and they were overjoyed, but when they went to the back mountain to inspect the next day, they found that the mountain range of more than 20 meters was broken into two, and the gap in the middle was very smooth, as if it was cut open by a sharp axe, and in the middle of this neat gap, there was a canyon like a moat.

The valley was as dark as ink, but from time to time there were faint green ghost fires flying, and the cold breath was constantly gushing out, making people wonder if the middle of the disconnected mountain range was connected to the Netherworld, so there was such a scene. So that the villagers were very afraid of this place later, and they did not dare to go easily, which slowly led to the desertion of the fertile fields reclaimed in the back mountains, the wild grasses were overgrown, and the trees grew more and more densely.

The most amazing thing is that those strangers who live in the village have all disappeared without a trace, and they have magically made them think that they have met a master of the world, or some kind of fairy and ghost, and since then they have become more and more cautious, lest they anger the gods.

After a hundred years, it was late at night, and the village patrol man had just knocked on the second watch, and saw a group of people and horses flashing from the archway at the entrance of the village, fast as lightning, looking at the direction of going to the back mountain. Although he was afraid, he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and quietly followed.

The husband finally crossed the vegetation and trees that had no road at all and arrived near the back mountain, and saw that the group of men and horses had appeared again, and saw that there were hundreds of people, and carrying a few black coffins, and the fish penetrated into the canyon like a ghost gate, without the slightest fear.

Thinking of the story that has been circulating in the village for a long time, the husband thought that this team of people was not mortals, but the underworld who specialized in picking up the ghosts of the Yang people in the Netherworld, and he was anxious and afraid, so he turned around and fled back to the village, developed a high fever, and only picked up his life after a serious illness.

But the husband later told what he saw that night, and the villagers became more and more panicked, and many people were worried that his actions would annoy the ghosts, and they were afraid that they would condemn Changning Village, so they moved their families and did not dare to return to the village.

Later, there were fewer and fewer people in the village, and the private school was deserted, and the young people went out one after another, leaving the old people to stay in the village, but from time to time some villagers saw that the people and horses like before suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, carried the coffin to the back mountain, and entered the gloomy and ghostly canyon.

Since then, more and more people dare to go to the back mountain, and even regard it as the only way to pass after death, often teaching the disobedient child that he will send him to the ghost gate of the Hades in the back mountain, which scares the child and cries.

In fact, many years later, no one has gone to the back mountain, but the yin qi and ghost fire in the canyon have never disappeared, and the villagers are now secretive when they mention the back mountain, for fear of offending the gods, even in this open era.

I was so curious that I couldn't help but ask, "What's so strange about the back mountain?" Is it really a ghost door that can't be closed? ”

"What's the hell going on?" Li Hongxun chuckled, "It's just a superstitious statement, but I think the people they are talking about are probably from the Wu Clan." ”

Speaking of the Wu Clan, the eyes of the three of us turned to Ling Kai at the same time, and he unconsciously flipped through his mobile phone, his eyes were dark. After a long time, he said, "I think the people and horses seen by the villagers are probably the ancestors of the Wu clan, and they should have taken a fancy to the peculiar feng shui of this place, so they split the mountains and made valleys to create such a scene, in order to prevent the world from entering, so as not to be harassed by the outside world and not be at peace." Calculating the time, the last time the villagers saw outsiders enter was probably before the Wu clan had a civil strife, and almost all the clan was wiped out, that should be the time when the Wu clan sent the last patriarch here for burial, and no outsiders appeared after that, and the timeline is consistent. ”

"You mean, the villagers saw the people and horses carrying the coffin and passing away in a flash, but they actually came to give the funeral to the patriarchs of the Wu clan for generations?" Although I thought it was incredible, I still asked with great curiosity.

Ling Kai frowned slightly, and only replied after a while, "The possibility is very high, but it's just my speculation, and I still need to go to the back mountain tomorrow to find out if it's correct." ”

I was silent, although the legend told by the villagers is likely to be related to the Wu Clan, after all, this kind of thing is not a very capable person can do it, but this world has already subverted my cognition, not only the existence of the mysterious race Wu Clan left over from the ancient gods, but also the existence of demons, demons and charms.

But in any case, there are some signs that this place does have some kind of connection with the Wu Clan, so it is not a trip in vain.

After the discussion, Ling Kai and Qin Rui went to the next room to rest, Li Hongxun and I lay on the bed and chatted for a while after a simple wash, remembering that Ling Kai said that the feng shui here is peculiar, I couldn't help but ask, "Hongxun, do you know what is so peculiar about the feng shui in Changning Village?" ”
