Although the old woman did not say it explicitly, her action of pointing to Shi Zhongshan in the painting shows that Shi Zhongshan will have monsters every time Poyang Lake is dry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The full text of the latest chapter reading Shizhong Mountain is located on the shore of Poyang Lake, and Zixu Village is located at the foot of Shizhong Mountain, if there is a monster on Shizhong Mountain, Zixu Village will bear the brunt.
"Mother-in-law, what kind of monster is it?" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked, he is a disciple of Maoshan and has the responsibility to eliminate harm for the people.
The old woman shook her head thoughtfully, and said, "During the dry season, all the people in the village are closed, and no one has ever seen what the monster looks like, because according to the ancestral legend, those who have seen the monster will definitely die, but, in my opinion, this rumor is not true. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
"Because I've seen it." The old woman said in a deep voice, "When I was young, out of curiosity, I peeked out of the crack in the door behind my family's back, and I saw that monster, but I have lived until now, and I have not died. ”
"What does that monster look like? Do you recognize it? Wu Zhiyuan continued to ask.
"I don't know." The old woman shook her head slowly, but there was a look of horror on her face, and it was obvious that the scene she had seen as a child had left a heavy shadow on her heart. She was silent for a moment and said, "I just remember that the moonlight was very dark that night, and I saw a monster that was very white, frighteningly white, it was almost as tall as those hairy people in the woods, and it passed in front of my house, and it walked without a sound, like a ghost." ”
"Ghosts?" Wu Zhiyuan was a little stunned, because the ghost wandered, if it was not attached to the yang people, there was indeed no sound when walking, and the ghost could also be black and white, but why did this ghost appear during the dry period? It's a bit hard to explain.
The old woman did not answer Wu Zhiyuan's words again, but quietly looked at the calligraphy and paintings of Shi Zhongshan on the wall, and was silent for a long time. Read the full text of the latest chapter
"Mother-in-law." Wu Zhiyuan cleared his throat and asked, "This village will take off this calligraphy and painting every dry season, and leave this room vacant, is it because that monster wants to come here?" ”
The old woman came back to her senses, nodded, and said expressionlessly: "This is certain, that monster did come to this room, and it also looked in the mirror here." (Qianqian)" she said, reaching out and pointing to where Wu Zhiyuan was standing.
Wu Zhiyuan subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at the place where he had landed just now, and said with some surprise: "It's ...... Standing here looking in the mirror? ”
The old woman nodded again: "It is here, because when we return to this house the next day, we will see that there is a puddle of water here, which was left by the monster." ”
Wu Zhiyuan deduced: "In this way, it is very likely that that monster came out of the water. ”
This time, the old woman shook her head and said with regret: "This village seems to exist for the monster in Shizhong Mountain, and the ancestors have been doing the same thing for generations, that is, to take off calligraphy and paintings for that monster during the dry season." No one knows why, but they've been doing it for generations. Even the number of people in the village is getting smaller and smaller, and there are only two people left, and they have never slackened. Perhaps, this is a curse. ”
"The two people you are talking about are ......," Wu Zhiyuan looked at the old woman in surprise.
The old woman looked sad and said, "I still have my son, but the day before yesterday he was already dead, in the hands of the Mao people. At this point, she turned her head to look at the savage skin on the stove, and said angrily, "My son is also careless, the bamboo tubes of both arms are all broken, I don't know which hairy man died at the hands of the hairy, I have killed their two companions, I think it can be regarded as avenging my son." ”
Wu Zhiyuan suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that the middle-aged man he had just seen in the woods was the son of this old woman, and it was no wonder that the old woman would chop the flesh and blood of the savage into meat sauce, although this behavior was extreme, but thinking that his son's arms were torn off from the body by the savage, and the blood was drained to death, this behavior became easy to understand and be sympathized with.
At this time, Wu Zhiyuan was a little remorseful, he mistakenly regarded the middle-aged man as a villain, so he used a peachwood sword to smash all the bamboo tubes on his arms, if he was not so reckless, the old woman's son would not have died in vain.
Now that the old woman has lost her beloved son and is alone, Wu Zhiyuan can't bear it, he struggles in his heart for a while, and finally he still met the old woman's son by chance, and mistook him for a wicked person, and said the original story of smashing the bamboo tube on his arm. Even if the old woman has any reproach, he will suffer it, otherwise he will not be able to pass his own level if he conceals this matter.
Unexpectedly, after Wu Zhiyuan explained the matter and the situation, the old woman laughed bitterly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Providence, this is all providence." I knew that my son would end up like this, and I would rather let him take a look in the mirror after the calligraphy and painting, rather than live alone in this deserted village. ”
Wu Zhiyuan didn't understand the meaning of the old woman's words, and asked, "Why do you want him to look in this mirror?" ”
The old woman said in a deep voice: "Because as long as you look in this mirror, there will be another you in this world." ”
Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback, he didn't believe that there was such a bizarre thing in this world, he looked at the old woman in astonishment, and subconsciously asked, "What you said is true?" ”
As soon as this sentence was asked, Wu Zhiyuan had already got the answer: the old woman's words were true. He saw two evening incense in succession to prove it.
"It's true." Wu Zhiyuan muttered, "But, how is this possible? ”
The old woman slowly shook her head and said: "There is nothing impossible in this world, the so-called impossible, just the self-consolating words spoken by those who are not capable of achieving it. ”
Although there is factual evidence in front of him, Wu Zhiyuan is still a little incredulous. The bronze mirror behind the calligraphy and painting, as long as people shine on one side in the past, there will be one more person of the same kind in this world, which is really too unbelievable.
"That's why I asked you to take off your calligraphy and painting after you put out the torch." The old woman said in a deep voice, "You can't look in the mirror until you put out the torch, and this is also for your own sake." ”
Wu Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I'm not a villain, if there is one more me in this world, it shouldn't be a bad thing." ”
As soon as the words fell, the old woman smiled disdainfully and said, "It is precisely because your nature is not bad that I can't let you shine in this mirror." ”
"Why?" Wu Zhiyuan asked.
The old woman did not answer, but asked rhetorically, "What is the nature of your missing confidante?" ”
Wu Zhiyuan understood and understood that she was talking about Sheng Wanxiang, but he was burned in his heart by the words "confidant" in her words, and replied: "My friend is kind by nature, and when she sees an injured little animal, she will take it home to help it heal." ”
What Wu Zhiyuan said was that when he was in Wujia Village before, Sheng Wanxiang took a white fox with an injured hind leg home for treatment.
The old woman nodded, and then asked, "What about the nature of the woman you just saw on the edge of the swamp that looks exactly like your friend?" ”
Wu Zhiyuan recalled the woman who looked the same as Sheng Wanxiang who pushed himself into the swamp on the edge of the swamp, and was immediately stunned.
Although Wu Zhiyuan was with her for a very short time, her fierce nature was undoubtedly exposed.
