Chapter 64: A Strange Mountain Village
The mountain is the body of the guillotine, the trees on the top of the mountain are the wooden handle of the guillotine, and the two rows of ingenious rocks under the mountain are the guillotine's knife slots.
Wu Zhiyuan never thought that this mountain actually implied such a feng shui layout as a guillotine, and for a hundred years, the ancestors of Wujia Village have been living under the guillotine. He doesn't understand feng shui, but he knows very well that the guillotine is by no means an auspicious thing, and the people of Wujia Village who live here must be in a great evil situation.
At the same time, the layout of this guillotine reminded Wu Zhiyuan of the thrilling scene that happened to him when he was a child, when he was only three or four years old, of course, he had no memory of this incident, but almost all the elders in the village knew about this matter, and in everyone's words, Wu Zhiyuan knew the whole process of this matter.
At that time, everyone in the village was collecting sun-dried wheat in the yard west of the village, and Wu Zhiyuan was playing with another child of the same age, and a guillotine used to make wheat straw was placed there. Wu Zhiyuan didn't know the danger, he squatted next to the knife groove of the guillotine, a pair of small hands on the knife groove to stroke the blade of the guillotine, and the other child was only about four years old, at that time he didn't know where to get the strength, actually held the handle of the knife alone, and lifted the guillotine, located under the guillotine, it was Wu Zhiyuan's young hands.
Wu Zhiyuan's mother, Wu Shi, and other villagers saw this scene at the same time, and everyone's hearts were suddenly pulled up and twisted into knots. The guillotine was carrying a child who was still breastfeeding, and Wu Zhiyuan under the guillotine had only just learned to stagger and move, and they didn't understand what the consequences would be if the guillotine suddenly fell.
The moment Wu saw this scene, his face turned pale with shock, and he was about to shout out when he opened his mouth, so that Wu Zhiyuan quickly flashed to the side. This is the most basic reaction of a normal person, especially a mother.
The fifth uncle stepped forward suddenly, covered Wu's mouth, and at the same time shook his head to signal everyone not to make a sound, because if there was any abnormal sound, the child who carried the guillotine was likely to be frightened and threw down the guillotine, and then Wu Zhiyuan's hand would be cut down by the sharp guillotine.
At this critical moment, the fifth uncle quietly approached the child who was carrying the guillotine, taking two steps at a time...... Everyone present held their breath, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and when they walked to the child, the fifth uncle stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the guillotine, and everyone rushed up and hugged Wu Zhiyuan and the child aside.
In this way, Wu Zhiyuan's hands were spared, although more than ten years have passed since this incident, Wu Zhiyuan still sweats on his back when he imagines the scene at that time. Later, I heard from the elders that a few days after that incident, the child who carried the guillotine had a high fever for several days, and even the fifth uncle could not do anything.
This incident made Wu Zhiyuan have a deep fear of the guillotine, and he also subconsciously knew that the guillotine was a great weapon.
Now, under the prompting of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, Wu Zhiyuan clearly saw that Longshan actually implied the layout of the guillotine, which brought him a shock that could not be described in words.
"Yes, this layout is a guillotine." Moon Shadow Fuxian said worriedly.
"This ...... How could it be ......" For a while, Wu Zhiyuan's mind was flustered, and he couldn't speak, he was silent for a long time before he asked, "Moon Shadow, tell me, what does this guillotine layout say?" ”
"You look at the distribution of your Wujia Village, the whole is east-west, and you live around Longshan in a half-encircled manner, this looks like the wheat grass ready to be guillotined under the guillotine, if I guess correctly, none of the people in your Wujia Village, whether male or female, have lived past the age of forty." After Moon Shadow Fuxian finished speaking, he looked at Wu Zhiyuan with an inquiring gaze.
"That's not right." Wu Zhiyuan said categorically, "My parents are just over 40 this year, the fifth uncle, a barefoot doctor who taught us to read, is over 50 this year, and there are several elderly people in the village who are over 70 years old, and they are all alive. ”
In the old days of the Republic of China, it can be said that people who are over 70 years old can be said to be old.
"Strange, is there a master who breaks the situation for you?" Moon Shadow muttered puzzled.
"Superior?" Wu Zhiyuan's heart flashed Zhang Zefang's name, but when he thought that Zhang Zefang had only come to Wujia Village about a month ago, it obviously had nothing to do with the cracking of this guillotine feng shui layout.
Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked: "The ancestral training of our Wujia Village is that the villagers are not allowed to step into Longshan for half a step, and the mountain lion is the boundary. ”
"There may be a certain relationship, and the specific situation will have to wait for us to see. I only know a little about the layout of Feng Shui, and experts in this area still have to find the Maoshan school. Moon Shadow Fu Immortal smiled indifferently.
Wu Zhiyuan had already longed for the Maoshan faction in his heart, and after listening to the words of the Moon Shadow Fuxian, he strengthened his belief in becoming a disciple of Maoshan, and at the same time planned to take the time to cultivate the secret book of the Maoshan faction, "Guiyuan True Scripture".
"Let's not talk about that, when we get to the door, let's go home first, besides, I'm hungry now." Wu Zhiyuan touched his stomach and smiled, leaving behind the troubles of the guillotine layout, and pulled the Moon Shadow Fuxian towards the direction of the village.
The sun was almost midday, it was noon, the sky was cloudless, the late autumn sun was exceptionally warm, and everything was as beautiful as Wu Zhiyuan's mood.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wu Zhiyuan found that the leaves of the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village had withered completely, and there was not a single leaf left, and even the abrupt branches were so dry that they seemed to be scorched.
"It seems that I have been away from home for too long, and when I left, the leaves on this banyan tree were still sparse, and now they are bare." Wu Zhiyuan smiled, pulled up the Moon Shadow Fuxian and walked towards the village.
Before the Moon Shadow Fuxian could take a closer look at the banyan tree, he was pulled into the village by Wu Zhiyuan.
"It's strange, the third grandfather usually sits on this stone and basks in the sun at this time, why didn't he see anyone today?" Walking to the door of the first house at the entrance of the village, Wu Zhiyuan said to himself in surprise, only to see that the wooden door of this family was closed, and although the low gatehouse was dilapidated, it was also solid.
"Even the door is closed, and there is no one at home?" Wu Zhiyuan glanced at the crack in the door strangely, but didn't find anyone in the yard.
"Brother Zhiyuan, look, it seems that every house in this village is closed." Moon Shadow Fuxian pointed to the houses in front of him, and Wu Zhiyuan looked in the direction, and sure enough, all the doors were closed.
"What's going on? Where did all the midday go? Wu Zhiyuan looked stunned and went door to door, all of them closed the door without exception.
A gust of autumn wind blew, the fallen leaves on the ground kept swirling, and the withered dogtail grass on the low earthen wall swayed with the wind, and it was unexpectedly unpopular, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly shuddered, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
"Brother Zhiyuan, something is not quite right!" Moon Shadow Fuxian suddenly said in a deep voice, "It's noon, it should be the time for every household to make a fire and cook, look at the chimneys of these houses, why don't even a family have smoke coming out?" ”
Wu Zhiyuan looked up and suddenly became suspicious.
