Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mysterious Stone Turtle Village (Part I)
Originally, I thought that the stone turtle village might be a stone turtle at the entrance of the village, or there was a stone turtle in the ancestral hall, or there was a turtle called a stone turtle or something, so it got its name. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
I never imagined that when I walked through the forest and looked down on the stone turtle village on the high mountain, I saw that the whole village was a huge stone turtle! And the shape is three-dimensional, and from a distance, the stone turtle seems to crawl slightly......
However, the truth is actually the dense stone houses built in this village, posing in the shape of a turtle! It's just that the designer and builder of this village seems to be an artist, and he used a stone house to pose such a vivid turtle! From afar, it's just vivid!
"How can there be such a big village in the mountains? On Chinese New Year's Eve, how did you become the village chief? How did the village look like this, it looks like a stupid turtle! I asked curiously
"I am the only one of the villagers in the village, I am the village head, and I am in charge of myself! Hey! Chinese New Year's Eve said with a smile.
I'll go! I see!
"This was indeed a village, and there were not many people living in the village, just enough to fill those stone houses! Ever since this village existed, it has been like this for thousands of years! My grandfather is a native of this village, he said that when he was a child, or the end of the Qing Dynasty, he had never entered the stone turtle village of outsiders, and a foreigner came, this person is said to be an explorer, who has entered the ancient tomb, has been to the ruins, explored the magical secret realm, and broken through the Longtan tiger's den, but when he came to the stone turtle village, he was already terminally ill and was a dying person! He was very interested in the architectural pattern and level of Shigui Village, and wanted to explore the history of Shigui Village, but he was evicted...... However, the kind-hearted people of Shigui Village cured him of his terminal illness! And what cured him of his terminal illness was the witchcraft inherited from Stone Turtle Village......"
It turns out that the place chosen by Grandpa Tugui is his hometown! It's also good, it's the so-called fallen leaves back to the roots! I think so.
However, the foreigner did not keep his promise! He had promised to keep his mouth shut about the village's existence. However, after two years, a person came to the village, claiming to be a Guigu Daoist! He insisted that the witchcraft heirs be taken away, otherwise he would use explosives to blow up the village! Guigu Daoren is a magical existence, and his soldiers put a few explosive packs on the spot, blowing up half of the mountain in the distance...... The villagers were shocked, and they had no choice but to let my grandfather follow the Guigu Daoren! became the soil ghost of the five ghosts! ……”
"Since there is such a powerful witchcraft, why are you afraid of other people's explosives?" Nakamoto asked, "If he dares to come to me, I'll hypnotize him and transform his memory......"
"You don't talk nonsense......" Shangyuan pulled Zhongyuan and stopped his words.
"Because the Guigu Taoist himself is very powerful, he has a magical way to protect himself, my grandfather said that if he wants to hurt him, the whole village will die with him...... Moreover, the elder gods in the village have already understood that this is a catastrophe and cannot be avoided......"
I see!
"My grandfather inherited the witchcraft here, and at this time he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and he had almost learned it, so he was sent by the village to follow the Guigu Taoist and save the village! Later, he conquered the world and did many mysterious and thrilling things! When he was old, he chose to hide here, and when he came back, as the inheritor, he was the patriarch, and everyone also chose him as the director of the village committee to communicate with the outside world......... After the reform and opening up, the village gradually began to disperse...... The main reason is that there are no women willing to marry here, because it is too poor and remote, so there are more and more old singles, the number of people is not prosperous, and the stone houses are gradually empty...... Later, my grandfather announced that everyone could go out and beg for a living...... Everyone went out to see the flower world outside, plus they all have a little ability, everyone is mixed up outside, and no one wants to come back! My grandfather didn't force everyone to come back, he said that according to the deduction, this village should have been scattered many years ago, and now it is only dispersed, which is already very good, and everything cannot be forced! My grandfather and I lived in this increasingly deserted village, and we practiced witchcraft with my grandfather for more than ten years. So, I became the only villager and village chief here! ”
"Then this village has been inherited for thousands of years, how did you get women from outside to marry in?" Chongyang asked.
"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the seven elders in the village had the right to often travel the world, play hexagrams, look at the graves, see the doctor, etc., because there were indeed some means, so the income was not bad, and at that time, the poor everywhere, most of them had a full meal was a dream thing, so it was easy to buy some school-age women to marry the young people in the village; The daughters of the village will also be married by the elders who are well-off outside with lotus words! Of course, the daughters have been educated since childhood, never divulging the location and secrets of Stone Turtle Village, and generally marrying far away, and the secrets of the village have always been well guarded! The people in the village are busy farming, hunting, literacy, and inheriting a little housekeeping skills. ”
"Hehe, it's not bad to think about! But why is this happening, is it just to avoid chaos? Zou Jianglong asked.
"Of course not! The people of Stone Turtle Village are guarding this sinkhole here! This is their mission! ”
"Huh?" We were all stunned!
"Wouldn't it? It sounds like the villagers of Shigui Village are obedient and good-natured, how can they guard such an evil existence? "I asked.
"This sinkhole has become an evil place, it should be a matter of a few years after the stone turtle village has been guarding here! My grandfather said that the villagers of Shigui Village are guarding the divine sword of Wang Chan Ancestor to suppress demons! And the oath passed down through the generations of Stone Turtle Village is not to enter the bottom of the sinkhole! So the village was built on such a high hill and guarded the entry of outsiders, who knew that this sinkhole could be entered through the crack at the bottom...... Maybe the crack was formed at the time, or it was dug artificially...... It's hard to tell! ”
"Huh? So, you already knew about the existence of this sword? Shangyuan asked.
"Before we entered the sinkhole, we didn't know it was a famous night practice! We only know that there is a legend of the divine sword, saying that in this pit is Wang Chan Ancestor who used the Divine Sword of Unkillable to suppress the demon who loves to kill! Later, after the villagers of Shigui Village dispersed, grandpa said that the guardian mission of the people of Shigui Village had been completed, the oath had been broken, and they could go down to have a look. It also tells the story of a tomb robber who entered the forbidden area...... My grandfather was shocked when he heard this, so the four of us hung the rope and went down to the bottom of the sinkhole! However, we encountered many unexpected difficulties, and we resolutely gave up exploration! The three grandfathers were still a little injured to protect me......"
Chongyang exclaimed: "I see! They took you down, but they put me in a hotel to be bored! When I came back, I found that my two grandfathers were injured, and it turned out that this was the kind of injury! And they kept it a complete hide from me! ”
"As we climbed up with a rope, we found a little hole! Experienced grandfathers judged that this cave must lead to an important place! So we went down from here...... However, I was disappointed that I arrived at a dungeon, but there was nothing in it! My grandfather thought there must be something hidden here, but none of the four of us were meant to open it, so we went back! Later, my grandfather took me here a few times, but I still didn't get anything, so I gave up! ”
"But when we triggered the trap and opened the cave where the crystal coffin was, why did you come down just right? Is it such a coincidence? I asked.
"I think there is an element of coincidence, and there is also an inevitable factor!" Chinese New Year's Eve said with a smile.
