Chapter 57: The Legend

(The update is delivered, and it will continue tomorrow.) Thank you also for the support of my brother and my friends who are filled with milk, thank you. ）

Before I finished my cup of coffee, my friend arrived.

My friend's surname is and, and his single name is a Tao character. In fact, I think most people in Yunnan should have the surname Duan, and my friend should be called Duan or something even if he is not called Duan Yu. It's a pity that the reality is always the opposite of the three words "I thought".

He Tao is an authentic Yunnan native. In view of the geographical location of Yunnan, it is inconvenient for me to say much about what he usually does. Anyway, he should be able to help me.

I found a hotel to stay in, and I told him something briefly. During this period, he deliberately concealed the incident in the Wei's ancestral hall, mainly telling Lan about becoming an idiot after coming out of the door.

He Tao's eyes widened after hearing this, and he said how could there be such a strange place in this world. I said I don't know, but the truth is that Lan was scared silly when he came out of the door.

He Tao touched his chin and thought about it for a long time, and finally let me rest in the hotel for one night, and he went back to find someone to ask. I nodded. To be honest, in my subjective consciousness, I don't think I can find any clues from my side. After all, I have nothing to do with the inverted bucket and the things derived from the inverted bucket, and to put it bluntly, the profession is not right. Even if I mobilized all the relationships, I don't think it would be very useful. Because I don't know where to start.

It all depends on the progress of the fat man's side. Thinking about it, I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes on the bed. After sitting on the train for a long time, my mind is full of "clang" sounds, and even after getting off the train, my body will involuntarily sway left and right with the rhythm of the train.

The next day, near noon, He Tao called me and said that he had heard something related from one of his horses. Ask me if I want to go over and ask in person.

I didn't expect He Tao's efficiency to be so fast, or I didn't plan to rely on him to help me find any clues. I came here this time to a large extent just to avoid the arrest of my uncle, but I didn't expect He Tao to really find a clue for me.

I made an appointment with He Tao. An hour later, his car appeared in front of the hotel.

The driver was a little brother, and when he saw me, he politely called me Brother Cheng.

After getting in the car, He Tao told me that the person driving the car is the person you are looking for, and you can ask him if there is anything.

I looked at He Tao and asked him with my eyes if he could trust this person. He Tao nodded and said that this person was his confidant, so he didn't have to worry too much. After speaking, he patted the little brother on the shoulder and said, "Allo, tell me what you know." ”

The guy named Ellio looked up at us in the rearview mirror, nodded, and said yes.

I leaned back in my chair and thought about it with my eyes closed, and asked the first question, "Do you know what I do?" ”

Ah Luo nodded: "Brother Tao told me last night." ”

I turned my head to look at He Tao, and then asked, "Then do you know what the surprise door is?" ”

Allo nodded again: "One of the eight gates of Qimen Dunjia." ”

I was a little stunned when I heard him say this, and I said no, you all know this, is it possible that you are all people with diplomas in the underworld?

Allo saw my doubts in the rearview mirror and explained: "That's the case, after Brother Tao asked me last night, I went to study in a surprise attack. At this point, I saw He Tao pat him on the shoulder with an approving expression and said to me, "Alleyo is a master's student. ”

Damn, you have to have a master's degree in the mixed society these days? I smacked my tongue secretly.

I thought about it again and asked, "Your brother Tao told me on the phone that you know some clues, could it be that you checked it on the Internet last night?" ”

"No, no," Alho shook his head: "This clue is a local legend, I don't know if it has anything to do with the surprise door you are looking for, Brother Cheng." ”

When He Tao heard him say this, he sat up straight and patted him on the head: "I don't know if it has anything to do with it, it's also called a clue?" ”

This Allo seems to have a good relationship with He Tao, touched his head and shouted Brother Tao Don't fight first, you will know when I say it.

He Tao waved his hand and asked him to speak quickly.

I could see in the rearview mirror that he was blinking, as if he was organizing the language. It was only after about a minute that Ario told the legend:

Next to a road in the west of Yunnan into Sichuan, there is a lake called Ximatang. Legend has it that something strange happened one night a few decades ago. Overnight, the water level of the entire lake dropped to the extreme, as if it had evaporated, and almost all of it was gone. And all this happened to be seen by the peasants who were hurrying in the middle of the night. The peasant thought that the god of water had appeared, and his curiosity drove him to the edge of the lake to look down. But it's a pity that because it was at night, and the washing pond was very deep, the farmer didn't see anything after looking down for a long time. But just as he was about to leave, he heard a series of sounds like the stone mill being pushed. It wasn't small, it sounded like an unimaginably large millstone spinning. And the sound seems to have come from under the Xima Pond.

Where did this peasant encounter such a thing, he was immediately scared away.

When he returned to Ximatang with his son the next day, he found that the water in the lake had risen again. And the sound of a giant grinding disc grinding something is gone. It's as if nothing happened.

(I was stunned for a moment when Ellio said this, and suddenly thought of the sound I heard at the bottom of the plank road, before the Yin Soldier appeared.) That voice sounded like the sound of a millstone turning. ）

While Alleyo was still talking, I tapped him on the shoulder to indicate that I had a question to ask: "Did the farmer hear anything else after he heard the mill turning?" ”

Ellio blinked and thought for a moment, "Like- no, right?" ”

He Tao's eyes widened: "What do you mean?" ”

"Brother Tao, I'm not that farmer, how do I know."

I think it is also true that these legends are very easy to deify in the process of circulation, and there are errors in expression and understanding between people, and some details and even important issues will be biased. So he waved his hand and asked him to continue.

Ellio nodded, honked his horn over a car, and continued:

The farmer's son insisted that the farmer was hallucinating because he was too scared when he was on a night trip. It's like when you walk at night, you always look back and feel that something is following you. But the farmer insisted that he was not mistaken, and that the Ximatang had indeed been inexplicably dried up the previous night.

The farmer's son looked at his father with a serious face, thinking that he had been fascinated by mandrills when he was walking the mountain road at night. So they no longer argued with him, but did as he pleased. When the farmer returned home, his son found an old gentleman in the village who was said to know some feng shui, and planned to show the farmer. Unexpectedly, Mr. Feng Shui did not go to see the farmers after arriving at their house, but walked around their mud house a few times. After turning around, I looked up at the sky again, and finally went to see the peasants.

After looking at the farmer, Mr. Feng Shui shook his head, left a word, and left.

Ario stopped at this point. I looked at him and thought he was organizing the language. But I didn't expect him to finish speaking.

"Finished?" I asked.

Ellio nodded.

He Tao asked him, "What did that feng shui gentleman say when he left?" ”

Allo suddenly looked embarrassed: "Brother Tao, don't talk about this, right?" ”

"What do you mean don't say it? What do you mean by talking halfway through? Go on. He Tao said.

I saw that Allo's face was a little ugly, and I was a little puzzled, so I asked, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”

Aloo suddenly looked up and looked at me in the rearview mirror, and I could tell in the rearview mirror that he was very troubled right now.

After being silent for a long time, he still spoke: "That feng shui master said: You are dead." If you want to know why, go down to the bottom of the Xima Pond. ”

I blinked after hearing this, and my heart said that this sentence didn't seem to exist for him that there was nothing he couldn't say, right? But then again, how does this sound so familiar to me? Thinking about it, my heart trembled.

Damn, my grandfather's head seems to have said something similar to my father's when my grandmother was preparing for the funeral.
