Old man Zhao didn't answer my question immediately, he turned around and walked to the back room with the bottle, and I followed him in.

There was a small room in the innermost part of the room, which contained a lot of miscellaneous items, and among the miscellaneous items was a large coffin. Just like the bed is divided into single and double coffins, I feel that the coffin is also a double coffin, but the material seems to be stone.

Old man Zhao walked to the coffin, and then pressed a mechanism on the side of the sarcophagus, and the coffin lid immediately opened with the sound of rattling stones. In an instant, a cloud of ghostly aura emerged from the sarcophagus, filling the room.

What's inside the coffin? What a heavy yin qi! I asked outside.

Do you have yin and yang eyes? Old man Zhao asked in surprise.

I nodded at him.

It seems that you do have some skills, but you can still come out safely after entering the Snake Head Valley, and I'll talk about it later. As he spoke, Old Man Zhao turned around again, opened the bottle, the mouth of the bottle was facing down, and poured the black bones inside into the sarcophagus.

The yin qi in the hut was too thick, and I couldn't see clearly what was in the sarcophagus outside, but just as the black bone fell down, the yin ghost qi that came out of the sarcophagus suddenly converged a lot, as if it was attracted back by this bone, but this convergence only lasted for a few seconds, and then the yin qi spread outward again.

After pouring the bones, Old Man Zhao pressed the mechanism again, the coffin lid made a grinding sound again, and tightly closed back to its original position, and the frontal yin qi in the hut also dissipated instantly.

The sarcophagus is full of bones. Old man Zhao came out of the hut and answered my previous question: Just like the bones you brought me, there are those things in it. You must be wondering what these bones are for, right? I'll tell you about it slowly.

After returning to the big house and sitting down, Old Man Zhao asked me: Do you know why Snakehead Valley is called this name?

I said, "Isn't it because the terrain of that valley resembles a snake's head?"

The old man shook his head and smiled, and said: It's not because of this, listen to my father's generation, the place of Snakehead Valley used to be a big snake nest, there were several big snakes living in it, and there were hundreds of small snakes, every year from January to May, the snake climbed out of the valley, and looked into the valley from the outside, and the eyes were full of snake heads, so it was called Snakehead Valley.

Well. I nodded in response, then motioned for him to continue.

You've also entered the Valley of the Snakehead, and you haven't seen a single snake in it, have you? The old man asked.

Snakes hibernate.

Haha, even if you come in the summer, you can't see it. Old Man Zhao laughed, and then the expression on his face immediately became gloomy, because the snakes in the valley were all killed, and not just killed.

Old man Zhao's words can give me a wake-up call.

I heard him say before at the old black man's house in Snakehead Valley that the guerrillas and the common people had been surrounded and suppressed by devils in Snakehead Valley, and I didn't think about it in detail at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems that things are not so simple. According to the old black head, the Snake Head Valley is a big pocket, surrounded by mountains and has an exit.

But the problem is here, the devil can't get in if he wants to, but the people inside don't want to come out, so many people are trapped in this valley for 7 months, what do they eat? I don't think they're going to eat people, and they don't eat dead bodies, and if that happens, they can't live there.

According to Old Man Zhao, this snake head valley used to be a snake nest, but now there are no snakes, so the most reasonable explanation is that they dug up the hibernating snakes and ate them, and there was not a single one left.

What about the serpent god? You say there is a great serpent in that valley? I asked along the train of thought of Old Man Zhao.

Yes, I've been into the Valley of the Snakeheads! But I don't have a very deep impression of snakes, when I was born. But my dad told me later that he took my mom, me, and one of my sisters into the valley of snakeheads, and they caught two big snakes in the snake cave, and the snakes were almost as thick as two people, and they could easily swallow a large living person in one bite.

The grass ghost woman surnamed Hei who lives in the Snake Head Valley, you know each other, right? I interrupted him and asked.

Know, how can you not know. My dad originally wanted to marry her, but later my grandfather said that it was unlucky to marry a grass ghost woman, at that time, marriages were arranged by my parents, my father didn't agree, and my dad couldn't help it. Later, I heard that she didn't seem to marry until she died. Old man Zhao replied.

Does your dad know the cause of her death?

Got it!

Your dad knew that she was beaten to death by the people in the village, so he wanted to avenge her, so he made a curse in the coffin, so that the people in the Snake Head Valley would suffer from strange diseases for generations? I asked speculatively.

No! Old man Zhao immediately glared at him, my Zhao family is doing right, walking straight, we will never do anything that hurts heaven and reason, and we are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth!

I stared at Old Man Zhao's eyes, and he looked back at me without the slightest fear, as if he didn't have any weakness in his heart.

Well, I believe you. I nodded at Lao Zhao, then let's talk about this bone, what does this thing mean in the hands of the old lady Hei? And what are the snake bones you have in your house for?

The two snakes that are so big in the Snake Head Valley are not animals, they are goblins. That thing has spirituality, and even if it dies, it will hurt people, so my dad left with the bones of the big snake after leaving the Snake Head Valley, for fear that the big snake would borrow the bones to return the soul, and the bones he put in Heimei's hand were actually the snake tail of the big snake.

The black plum in Old Man Zhao's mouth is obviously the grass ghost woman surnamed Hei, and I can understand the things he mentioned, because I have the best example of the white tiger attached to me, almost as tall as me.

Old man Zhao didn't finish his words, he paused for a moment and then continued: After our family left the Snake Head Valley, Heimei has always had correspondence with my family. She told my father that she dreamed of the two big black snakes almost every night, and they told her that their souls had taken root in the village, and their spirits remained in the bodies of the villagers, and that their souls were not separated, and that if the villagers left the Snake Head Valley, they would bring disaster.

You must have been to the cemetery in the west of the village. Old man Zhao continued: There is the former snake nest, originally the people in the village buried the dead outside the valley, since the dream of Heimei, the dead in the village are buried there, this is called Ye Luo to the roots. I remember that two years before I got the news of Heimei's death, she came to my house to find my father in the Snake Head Valley, and I was not young at that time, and I was already learning about sending souls and requiems, so I listened to what they said.

Well, what was said? I leaned forward as I asked, because I felt that what Lao Zhao was going to say next must be crucial, and this should be the key to solving the mystery of the snakehead valley insect sore.

Heimei's exact words at the time were like this. The old man seemed to be deliberately learning Heimei's expression, and frowned his brows and said: My yang life is coming to an end, as soon as I die, the snake god is afraid that the disaster will come, when the time comes, you bury me in the southwest snake eye position, and use the yin snake Gu to soak the snake god bones and bury it with me, and then find a way to stabilize the snake god after I die.

Old man Zhao's words surprised me, things went in two diametrically opposite directions to what I originally thought.

I thought it was the grass ghost woman who died with resentment, so she turned into a ghost and harmed the villagers, but if what Old Man Zhao said was true, then this grass ghost woman not only did not harm people, but was saving people.

I thought back to the night when we were digging the grave of the ghost. At that time, I broke the coffin, and Wei Wu's situation was immediately not good, this should be because I disturbed the soul of the grass ghost woman, so that she could not appease the two-headed snake god, and later in order to save Wei Wu, I let the white tiger repel the snake god by mistake, so I saved Wei Wu's life.

Not good!

At this time, I suddenly realized another thing, the ghost of the grass ghost woman has been kowtowing at the entrance of the village, which is not a good sign. She seems to have no ability to suppress the snake god, so she can only kowtow and beg the snake god to let the villagers go, and the reason why the snake god has not attacked the villagers is because they have lost both of them and the white tiger, and once the two big black snakes recover their vitality, the result may be unimaginable.

What's wrong? Old man Zhao looked at me and asked.

I didn't hide anything from him, and I told him in detail about what I had experienced in the Snake Head Valley in the past two days.

The pimple in the center of the old man's eyebrows wrinkled even tighter after hearing this, and he pinched the sparse beard on his chin and whispered: It turns out that what my father and my father said are right, I know that the snake head valley is unlucky, but I didn't expect it to be the snake god! Judging from what you said, the snake god is probably going to take his soul back! As he spoke, the old man also looked back at the room in his eyes.

Now I understood that he had hung so many messy things in the house, which was actually used to prevent snakes!

An idea popped into my head, and I asked, "What if you took all your snake bones to the Valley of the Snakeheads?"

I don't know! My dad told me on his deathbed that you must not bring these snake bones into the Snake Head Valley, I didn't ask the reason specifically, but if you really bring them in, I'm afraid the snake god will come back to life and eat people. The old man speculated solemnly.

Or you can take it away and seal it before it comes back to life, and I'll do that as I do.

Are you sure you can do it? Old man Zhao seemed a little skeptical.

The fact that I was able to get out of the Snake Head Valley is the best proof of this, and this time I was prepared to go, and I was sure to be able to catch it. However, for the sake of safety, lend me half of your snake bone, as long as it is enough to lure the snake god out, even if something goes wrong, it will not really come back. I built yì said.

Old man Zhao hesitated, and then he motioned for me to wait for a few minutes, and he went to get the phone and didn't know whose number he dialed.

When he called, I remembered that my phone hadn't been ringing for a long time. I took out my phone and looked at it, and sure enough, the screen of the phone was completely black, and I couldn't turn it on no matter how I turned it on, and it looked like it was broken.

After a while, Old Man Zhao's phone call was over, and he said to me: I asked my two sons to come back, and they will be there in three hours. Then when you see when you are going to go to the Valley of the Snake's Head, tell me, and I will let them both go with you with the snake bones.
