The Hong'er he said should be He Hong, and now He Hong, there are less than two years of Yang Shou left, and I vaguely feel that when He Lao Ghost speaks, there is guilt in his tone.

I didn't know how to persuade the old ghost, so I stood silently beside the bedside, he didn't speak, and kept looking at the bright moon outside the window.

When I met with Old Ghost He this time, I always felt like I was pressing a very heavy thing in my heart.

At that time, I was completely immersed in my own thoughts, so much so that I forgot a lot of details, and I also forgot when I left the Emerald Villa that night, I only remember that when I walked out of the gate of the villa, the night had begun to be swallowed up by the white light of the eastern sky little by little, He Lao Ghost came to the courtyard, arched his hand towards me from a distance, and said to me: "Zuo Zhangmen, farewell today, I will not have the opportunity to meet in the future, cherish!" ”

That was indeed the last time I saw Old Ghost He, and after that, the world was goodbye, and Old Ghost He never appeared again.

It was only in March last year, when I had just started writing this book, and Xiao Renya and Liu Shangang's second child was about to be born, and the people of Jiufeng Mountain came to congratulate me.

But I have no way of knowing how He Hong survived.

Back at Jisoul Village, I spent a few hours flipping through the booklet given to me by He Lao Ghost, and I found that many of the spells created by Wudang had something in common with the inheritance of the same lineage in terms of details.

These spells he created have one of the biggest things in common with the spells of the Righteous One Pulse, that is, they are very fast to cast, and many of the spells need to be cast in a single thought, among which there is a step called "Thirty-six Steps of the Heavenly Gate", which is simply the same as the Gang Step of the Righteous One Pulse.

It's just that Gangbu is stepping on the seven-star position, Tianmen step is stepping on the thirty-six Tiangangxing position, Gangbu is three steps and nine traces, Tianmen step is a slippery step, two steps and one trace, thirty-six steps, leaving only eighteen footprints on the ground. When both of them are used, they must first reach the realm of "thinking and saving".

The key to the eight characters of Gangbu is "three steps and nine traces, step Gang Dou", Tianmen step is similar, its key has 16 words: "read to walk the gate of heaven, two steps and one trace, foot on Renchen, one star and one god".

The word Renchen refers to Tiangang, Chen is one of the twelve gods of Renxue, called Dizhichen in the territory, and Tiangang is the god Tiangang in Tianpan, and it is also one of the December generals.

Wudang wrote down the word "Ren Chen" in the sixteen words of the key to have a deep meaning, he was telling his heirs, this set of footwork is the real induction of the gods, some people roughly understand the induction of the gods as "the introduction of the gods possessed", in fact, this is inaccurate, to be exact, the introduction of the gods should be "borrowing divine power", to put it bluntly, it is to let their own power temporarily reach the realm of the gods.

I have to say that just by seeing the movement of Tianmen Step, I know that the power of this set of footwork is much stronger than that of Gangbu, but it requires extremely strong mental power, and once the spell fails, the backlash against the caster will be greater.

Relying on my current cultivation alone, I will never be able to step out of the Heavenly Gate, and if I want to achieve the technique, I must rely on the Great Void Technique and the Fantian Seal, both of which are indispensable.

As soon as I finished reading the contents of the booklet, Liu Shangang pushed open the door of the wing.

I closed the booklet and carefully put it in my bag, and Liu Shanang watched my actions and asked me curiously, "What is that?" ”

I cheered at him: "He is the reward given by the old ghost." You're fast enough to arrive so early. ”

"What's coming, it's noon, Grandpa Xia asked you to go to Emerald Mountain Villa for dinner." Liu Shangang said as he wet a wet towel in the basin and handed it to me to wipe my face.

I stayed up all night without sleeping, my face was greasy, and I hastily plucked myself, and followed Liu Shangang out of the house.

Uncle Xia asked Senior Brother Huang Youqi to prepare a light meal for us, and during the meal, I dialed Wang Dafu's phone and asked him for the address of the fake Wang Dafu.

Wang Dafu said that the fake Wang Dafu now lives in an old Qiang village in Yunnan, in the early years, the local landslides, and frequent floods, the local people moved out of the old village, to live in other places, now there are only fake Wang Dafu and the villagers who came out of Erlong Bay in the old village.

At the same time, Wang Dafu also told me that when I got there, I could easily find the village by asking people from nearby villages about the location of the "tulou".

After hanging up the phone, Wang Dafu sent me another coordinate.

In fact, before calling, I thought that Wang Dafu would only ask me what I was doing with the fake Wang Dafu, but he didn't seem interested in the purpose of my trip.

Xia Shibo's previous calculation was correct, judging from the coordinates, the old Qiang village where the fake Wang Dafu and them were located was directly south of the Soul Village.

After dinner, we went to the county town to buy some books and snacks, and then Liu Shangang drove the car onto the provincial road and went straight to the destination.

These things bought in the county town are for the children of Laozhai, and I think that when we meet Wang Dafu, whether he can trust us or not, we should show enough kindness.

Liu Shangang said that the coordinates given by Wang Dafu were not particularly far from Jisoul Village, and if the road was smooth, it would be a day's drive.

Although he said this, I didn't feel at ease at all, if the place where the fake king Dafu lived was so easy to find, it wouldn't be so many years later, and no one would know where they were.

Sure enough, when Liu Shangang drove the car down the provincial road, the winding mountain road and the complicated situation of the old forest actually made him lose his way, he originally wanted to use satellite positioning to determine our current position, but the instrument failed in the mountains, this time, we didn't know how to go, and even didn't know how to leave this woodland.

The point is that the weather is very cloudy, the sun is not visible during the day, and there are no stars and moon at night, so we can only walk blindly forward, and we don't know what direction is ahead.

We tossed and turned in the mountains all night, and it was not until the next morning that we found a mountain village by the light.

Wang Dafu said before that if you ask the villagers in the mountains about the location of the tulou, it is easy to find the old Qiang village where the fake Wang Dafu is located.

Liu Shangang parked the car at the entrance of the village, got out of the car with me, and went to the village to ask for directions, while Liang Houzai and the others stayed in the car to guard.

When I entered the village, I looked at my watch, it was about five o'clock in the morning, and the people in the village should have gotten up, but there were few people on the village road.

When I came to an intersection, I saw an old man smoking a hookah with a thick cigarette stick, so I approached him.

He noticed me as I walked towards him, and kept staring at Liu Shangang.

I came to him, smiled politely, and asked him, "Uncle, I want to ask, what direction is the tulou in?" ”

He still stared at me in a daze, not saying a word.

I thought that he might be a student and would not help us easily, so I took out a hundred yuan from my pocket, and still smiled and said to him: "Uncle, let me ask for directions, this money ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand at me, then stood up again and trotted away.

I looked at Liu Shangang, who spread his hands at me, obviously unable to figure out why the old man was like this.

After a few minutes, the old man returned, followed by a young man about my age.

The old man came to me with the young man, pointed at me and Liu Shangang, and spoke some language to the young man that I did not understand.

The young man first nodded at the old man, and then said to me, "Most of the old people in the village can't understand Mandarin, do you have anything to do?" ”

No wonder the old man's behavior just now was so strange, it turned out that he couldn't understand me.

I stretched out my hand and tried to put a hundred dollars into the young man's hand, and the young man looked at me suspiciously: "Do you want to buy something?" ”

I said, "No, we're asking for directions." ”

He smiled and waved his hand at me: "Just ask for directions, how can you pay back the money?" You might as well keep the money yourself. ”

Hearing him say this, I suddenly felt very embarrassed, and hurriedly put the coins in my hand back into my pocket, while asking, "Do you know how to get to Tulou?" ”

He was still smiling just now, but when he heard the word "Tulou", his face became unnatural: "You want to go to Tulou?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, go to Tulou." We are engaged in geology, and we heard about the landslide on the side of Tulou two years ago, and we wanted to take a look and understand the situation. ”

He raised his left hand and pointed in the direction of the entrance of the village: "If you go to the left after the entrance of the village, you will see a river, and if you keep walking towards the upper reaches of the river, you will find the tulou." ”

I asked him, "What is the direction to the left when you leave the entrance of the village?" ”

He looked at me suspiciously: "It's Zuobei." ”

I said, "I mean, is that east or west?" Or is it a north-south direction? ”

He thought hard for a while before he said with some uncertainty: "It should be the west, or it should be the southwest." Hi, there are many mountain roads on our side, and few people distinguish between east and west, north and south, and they are generally left and right. ”

I smiled at him, thanked him, and turned to leave.

But before I could turn around, he suddenly asked me again, "Are you really geology?" ”

I said, "Or else?" ”

He hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to me, and whispered to me, "I advise you not to go to the tulou." ”

Seeing his cautious appearance, I couldn't help frowning: "Why? ”

He pursed his lips and whispered to me, "That place...... There's dirt. ”

Dirty? Is it a ghost?

Seeing his solemn face, I didn't think he was lying, pondered for a moment, and asked him, "Is there still anyone living over there in the tulou?" ”

He shook his head: "No, no one lived there more than ten years ago." Now that place is occupied by filthy things, you'd better not go. ”

I nodded: "We mainly look at the local geology, not necessarily into the village." ”

After saying that, I pulled Liu Shangang away, and I heard the young man shouting behind me: "Don't go in." ”

I didn't respond to him and walked straight to the entrance of the village.

When I was about to walk out of the village, Liu Shangang said to me: "Is Lao Qiang Village haunted?" Why was that guy so nervous just now? ”

I said, "What the hell, it is estimated that the fake Wang Dafu didn't want people to enter that place, so he deliberately made a name for himself." ”

Liu Shangang nodded: "It's really possible." ”

Back in the car, Liu Shangang took out the map and reconfirmed our location. After that, we drove due west, and after several hours of driving, we finally saw the river in the young man's mouth, and the mountain road was cut off near the river.

I asked him why he did this, and he said that he was afraid that someone would steal the car, so he hid the car first.

However, I don't think it's okay to park on the road, and through the contact I just had with the villagers, I think the local folk customs are still very simple.
