Chapter 8: Shock
"Oh? What's going on? ”
At that time, Chen Liang and Huang Qing often went up the mountain to chop firewood together, because the place where they lived belonged to the deep mountains and Daze, and few people usually visited, so in this place, there are many legends of all kinds, one of which is like this: it is said that there was a temple in that mountain in the past, and there were ten monks in the temple, which could have been regarded as the peak of incense, but one day I don't know what happened, a mountain flew from the sky, and the mountain pressed straight on this temple, The monks in the temple have also been suppressed at the bottom of the mountain since then and buried alive."
"This kind of legend, there is nothing particularly unusual, very old-fashioned, once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple on the mountain, there was an old monk and a little monk in the temple, and so on, do you think it's interesting? Okay, pick the key points," Shu Yao said impatiently.
"I said, girl, be a little patient, okay? It's a very complicated thing, and I'm going to have to start from the beginning, and if you don't like it, I won't talk about it."
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you, go on"
Huang Jun paused and continued: "Yes, the story itself is indeed very old-fashioned, but the problem is that all the people in the village believe in this legend, and they believe that these monks must have done something harmful to the heavens to attract the punishment of the heavens, so they will have such a tragic end. The legend didn't end there, and about a hundred years later, people began to disappear in this place, and it was very strange that the missing people would come back after ten days, but they were not sane. The expression on his face was extremely painful, and he would die that night."
"Oh, there's such a miracle?"
"Even stranger things are yet to come, these dead people, even the doctors sent in the capital can't find out the cause of death, it's like, it's as if their souls suddenly left their bodies."
"It's ridiculous, how can there be such a thing," Shu Yaoqi said.
"It's ridiculous, but it was very normal for people at the time. Later, it was rumored that it was the evil spirits who were doing the tricks, and these evil spirits were the monks who were buried in the ground, and they were unwilling to die a tragic death, so they came out to take revenge."
"This matter is getting farther and farther, I don't know how it was solved in the end?"
"What else can be done? In the end, it was over, because after a while, this incident never happened again, and the village returned to a peaceful life, but this incident itself caused a shadow for the villagers, who knows, this matter is not over, and what happened next is even more weird."
"Oh? What happened? ”
Later, news came out of the village, saying that the reason why this matter could be resolved was because the king of Hades sent Impermanence to take a treasure to suppress this group of evil spirits, so that one side could be safe. And there are even people who claim that they often hear the howls of those evil spirits tormented by the earth treasure at night, and in the end, this matter is spread to the gods, saying that this earth treasure is on this mountain, and it will emit a faint blue light at night, and those who get the earth treasure will be able to live forever and travel freely between the mortal world and the underworld."
"How can there be such a thing? It doesn't look like it's very peaceful."
"Although the legend is so, but hundreds of years have passed, saying that they have seen a lot of people in the treasure, and there are many people who have taken care of things, but in the end no one has gotten the treasure, and even some lawless and bold people, specifically to find the treasure, in order to be able to live forever, at that time, the famous rich people in the towns and towns of the four towns often spend a lot of money to hire these people to find the treasure, but dig three feet into the ground, the whole mountain to search, and failed to find this kind of thing, and then finally this craze gradually fell down, People also slowly forgot about it, but after tea and dinner, they often used it as a talking point or to scare children."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"Listen to me slowly, these legends are still circulating until the era of Chen Liang and Huang Qing, but people generally don't take them seriously. But one day, when Chen Liang and Huang Qing went up the mountain to chop wood, they encountered a strange thing, which made this legend about the treasure of the earth remembered again."
"Oh, so what the hell is going on? I said, can you speak more crisply, do you think this is telling a story, I said, we don't have much time" Shu Yao almost jumped up.
Huang Jun glanced at her, "Why don't you talk about it?" ”
When Shu Yao heard this, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Hehe, let's talk about it, I'll listen, hee, I'll listen."
Huang Jun glared at her and continued: "What happened here is that on this day, when Chen Liang and Huang Qing went up the mountain to chop firewood again, the two of them were delirious and returned to their respective homes like crazy. At this time, there were more and more rumors about the two in the village, and in the eyes of the villagers, the two had become ominous people, which put Chen Liang and Huang Qing's wives under a lot of pressure. Some people were even afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and even said that the evil spirits had come out to make trouble again, so they possessed Chen Liang and Huang Qing, so that the people in the village were even more respectful of these two families. ”
"It's ridiculous, but from this point of view, the symptoms of the two of them are really a bit similar to those who disappeared before," Shu Yao said.
"That's what's going on, what did the two of them run into in the mountains? No one can tell. But one thing is for sure, these two are luckier than the ones who disappeared before them, because they miraculously came to their senses."
"You mean, they're sober?"
"That's right, one day after returning a year later, the two woke up at the same time, suddenly like a big dream, in this way, the wives of the two were naturally overjoyed, and the villagers were also very curious, but because of the previous rumors, they still didn't dare to contact them, and Chen Liang and Huang Qing were obscure about what happened on the mountain, as if they didn't want to mention it, and they also understood their image in the hearts of the villagers, so they were even more silent, except for often communicating with each other, they usually didn't say a word to others, even their wives are silent, and the days are gradually returning to peace."
"Is this the end of the story? Are you still finished? Say the point," Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun smiled bitterly: "It's not that I deliberately want to sell Guanzi, but the whole thing is very complicated, and if you don't start from the beginning, there is no way to explain it clearly."
"Mr. Huang, what happened later? What happened next? ”
