"Where is this? Where are you going to take me? Ayosha asked worriedly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Longyan glanced at her and said lightly, "You'll know in a while!" ”
Although the mountain road is winding and rugged, and very steep, but the driver has never slowed down the car to less than 100 kilometers, it can be seen that the driver is also a skilled and bold guy, the driver is a dark-skinned young man, about twenty years old, I didn't see him say a word along the way, but I saw firmness and calmness in his eyes, which reminded me of Leng Feng.
After two hours of bumpy driving on the rugged mountain road, a few families began to appear at the foot of the mountain on all sides, most of them were tall houses made of red brick and cement with more than two floors, and there were no bluestone houses full of ancient charm.
"This is my hometown? How do you know? I'm talking so generally! Ayusha's heart finally let go.
"Even if you only confess your grandmother's name, we can lock this place immediately, and you have explained so much." Ru Ling said with a slight meaning.
"Huh? Brother, do you think there are only one or two families in the village in this place? This is good, the provincial visits, playing mahjong can not make up a table. The fat man said.
I nodded and said, "Looking at the architectural style of the houses here, it's not much different from the outside." ”
Ru Ling said, "What do you know? The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and in some places there is not a single family even tens of kilometers, and now most of the people here have been sinicized, so of course their houses are also Han style. ”
At this time, Ayusha on the side said, "Who said that? Our village is different from here. ”
During the conversation, I only heard the alarm sound from the GPS in front of me, and then the driver, who had never spoken, finally spoke: "Report to the chief, we have arrived at our destination." After saying that, he closed his mouth again, and did not say a word.
Longyan nodded, everyone got out of the car, looked up and looked around, except for the rolling green hills, the gurgling river, and there was no shadow of the village.
Longyan smiled at Ayusha and said, "Please lead the way!" ”
Ayusha reluctantly turned her head and walked forward. After walking for more than half an hour, I finally saw the path paved with mountain stones, and walked along the path to the inside, and I saw a faint trace of cooking smoke in the verdant in front of me, and I thought it was fog if I didn't look carefully.
This is an ancient village, people are built against the mountain, the height is different, and they are all bluestone and black tile houses, the foundation walls of the house are very high, almost half of the overall height, it looks like some years, everywhere is full of simplicity, I don't know and think it is a village in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Stepping on the bluestone road, turning left and right to the depths of the village, from time to time I met curious villagers staring at us novel outsiders, Ayusha will come forward to say hello cordially, those villagers recognized it for a long time before calling out Ayusha's name, the older villagers also gently stroked her little head, it seems that she is still quite popular in the village, all because of her grandmother, Zoya.
In the depths of the village, on the gentle terrain of the mountain depression, stands a tall stilted building, which is basically built of wood, and unlike the stone houses in the village, it still maintains the oldest charm of the Miao family.
When I came to the small building, I stopped to listen, and there was a faint quarrel in the house, speaking in some dialects that we didn't understand, only Ayusha had beautiful eyes and stared nervously at the door. And Ru Ling seemed to know something, and his brows furrowed slightly.
After a while, I heard an old and simple voice from the room: "Is it Ayusha?" You don't think you've been to see me in a long time, have you? ”
I wasn't shocked, I didn't even have to look at it to know who was coming, how did it do that? But what shocked me even more happened, I saw the door of the house creak open from the inside, and a short, fat figure stepped out of the room, which was somewhat similar to the loss of people and property.
I was shocked again, how is this possible? The grandma in Ayosha's mouth turned out to be a man? This person is born with a slanted mouth and crooked eyes, and a hateful face, even if the damage to people and wealth is in front of him, he can definitely be called a beautiful man, wearing a homespun short coat and a blue scarf, and walked out angrily.
"Bhabong! It's you again! Ayusha angrily blocked the man's way.
Ba Feng was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Ayusha was followed by a few Han people dressed in army green.
"Yo! Isn't this Ayosha? When did you come back? The man, known as Ba Feng, feigned a wave of hello.
As if she had seen a ghost, Ayusha quickly jumped away and came to the front of several of us, looking at Ba Bong with a nervous expression.
The fat man stepped forward with an arrow, blocked Ayusha behind him, and said, "Why do people scare you like this as soon as they raise their hands?" Does he have a knife or a gun in his hand? Fatso! You're not welcome! Don't you see? ”
At this time, another figure appeared in the door, not tall, with a deep hunched back, his face was covered with wrinkles like knife cuts, and even his lips were covered with deep wrinkles.
"Let him go!" Zoya's shriveled lips twitched up and down a few times.
Ba Feng sneered a few times after hearing Hehe, glanced at everyone contemptuously, and a subtle smile rose at the corner of his mouth, the feeling of hiding a knife in his smile made people inexplicably uneasy and depressed.
Looking at Ba Feng's short back, I faintly felt a hint of foreboding. But I heard Zoya's old voice come again: "A few friends from afar, please come in!" ”
The decoration of the house is very simple, except for some unknown animal bones hanging on the four walls, the rest is the jars and jars scattered all over the floor, and the whole house is filled with a strange smell of Chinese herbal medicine.
There were no tables and chairs in the room, so everyone had to sit on the ground, and Long Yan spoke first: "We had to disturb Zoya Gu Master this time, please forgive us for our presumptuousness." ”
Old man Zoya smiled and said in Mandarin mixed with dialect accents: "You outsiders have spread the witchcraft here too much, and I don't dare to take the title of Gu Master, in fact, I am just a wizard, or a pharmacist." ”
"Huh? Is there any difference between a pharmacist and a Gu master? The fat man asked suspiciously.
Old man Zoya thought for a while and said: "Since ancient times, people have begun to worship various abilities of nature, such as wind, fire, thunder, grass, trees, beasts, etc., and later they found that they can use these special abilities through special rituals, thus deriving witchcraft, and witchcraft is divided into black witches and white witches. ”
Before Old Man Zoya could finish speaking, he only heard Ru Ling say: "I understand, the medicine master is equivalent to the white witch, and the Gu descending master is equivalent to the black witch." ”
Old Man Zoya nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, Gu magic is also a kind of witchcraft, but some people use it to save people, and some people use it to harm people." ”
"Then is there a Gu Descending Master yet?" Ru Ling asked.
Ayusha on the side said: "Why not?" The Ba Bong you just saw, that's it! It's just that he didn't use evidence to expose him, and Gu Descenders are to be spurned by others here! If someone gets evidence of their harm, the Gu Descender will be beaten to death. ”
"Huh? But I've heard that Gu art has always been passed on to women and not to men? Ru Ling asked.
Zoya shook her head and sighed and said, "That Ba Feng was originally a good-hearted good boy, but I don't know where he learned those evil arts that were forbidden by his ancestors, so he ended up like this. ”
Ayusha nodded and said, "Not bad! That Ba Feng used to be really good-looking, and it was the complete opposite of what you see today. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked by this, they didn't expect that Gu magic could also affect a person's appearance, and it could make a person's appearance change drastically.
Old man Zoya suddenly grabbed my pulse and said slowly: "Actually, I already know the purpose of your coming today!" ”
I was about to withdraw my palm, but I saw the dragon's eye signaling me not to move, so I asked, "How do you know?" ”
Old man Zoya smiled and said, "Do you still need to ask?" I've been fighting with Gu all my life, and I know that you are a Gu by looking at your faces! Huh......"
Old man Zoya suddenly took a breath of cool air, and stopped in the middle of speaking, only to hear her say to herself: "Impossible! It's impossible! How so? ”
