Chapter 315: Demon Legend
"Since you promised me, I'll tell you about Chen Zhen!" Lin Xia sat down as she spoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
I sat across from Lin Xia.
Lin Xia poured two glasses of water, then took one of them and took a sip.
Then, Lin Xia said in an orderly voice: "Chen Zhen's matter is a long story. There is a legend about demons in Xiwang Village, and as long as the villagers sell their souls to demons, the demons will be able to fulfill one of the wishes of the person who sold their souls. Have you heard of this legend? ”
Lin Xia asked me, but I hadn't heard of it at all, and I hadn't heard this legend mentioned by my uncle Ma Xiaoyuan.
How can there be such a legend?
I shook my head.
Lin Xia smiled and said, "It's not surprising, you haven't heard of this legend, which means that you don't know much about Xiwang Village." ”
I was stunned, she actually said that I didn't know anything about Xiwang Village?
What the hell is this? I grew up under the influence of my uncle Ma Xiaoyuan, my uncle Ma Xiaoyuan was born and raised in Xiwang Village, how can I not know about Xiwang Village?
I didn't agree with Lin Xia's words, and sneered.
Lin Xia heard what I meant, and she said, "Don't you agree with what I said?" ”
I didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Sister Xia, you said that I don't know anything about Xiwang Village, I don't dare to agree!" ”
"Tell me, then, what's going on with the legend of the demon?" Lin Xia didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted me, and I was dumbfounded when she said this.
Seeing that I couldn't answer, she said again: "Do you know the past and present life of Xiwang Village? ”
I shook my head even more.
She immediately laughed, laughed for a long time, and her voice was also very loud, and only after laughing did she say: "It's not surprising that you don't know the legend of the demon in Xiwang Village, I think your uncle shouldn't know either, right?" ”
I was stunned and shook my head.
She added, "If your uncle knew the legend of the demon, he wouldn't have felt uneasy and puzzled because he was excluded from Xiwang Village back then. ”
At that time, my uncle was indeed excluded from the village by the villagers of Xiwang Village, and he never wanted my uncle to return to Xiwang Village.
If it weren't for the unexpected death of my uncle's grandmother, Ma Xilian, my uncle would have rushed back to mourn.
I think that if my uncle wants to set foot in Xiwang Village again, he doesn't know that it is the Year of the Monkey.
"The legend of the demon has actually been passed down in Xiwang Village for thousands of years. A thousand years ago, Xiwang Village was called Tongle Village. Fun together, everyone is happy, the whole world is happy. This Tongle Village was a famous paradise that day, and the people in the village also lived a leisurely fairy-like life. Have you read Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring"? ”
I nodded.
She smiled and said, "Even the Peach Blossom Source in Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" is not as good as one-tenth of Tongle Village. ”
I was even more stunned, in my impression Tao Yuanming's description of the "Peach Blossom Spring" of the Peach Blossom Spring, is a famous paradise of seclusion, Taoyuan Village is not even more than one-tenth of Tongle Village, it can be seen how hidden and beautiful Tongle Village should be.
"Xanadu is not forever isolated from the outside world." Lin Xia sighed and said, "During the Three Kingdoms period, tomb robbing was prevalent, especially led by Cao Cao's army of Wei State. Cao Cao has a lot of gold captains, who are responsible for the inverted bucket to act as a military quartermaster. Because of the inverted bucket, many hidden villages are displayed in front of the eyes of the world. ”
"Tongle Village is also not in trouble." Lin Xia said, "The Wei State of Captain Mojin first discovered Tongle Village, and there is a large cemetery under Tongle Village. Captain Touching Gold wants to steal the tomb, but because of the foreign battle, it is very inconvenient. As a result, he secretly colluded with the government of Wu. The Wu government also coveted the treasure under the tomb, so it sent heavy troops to support, which caused the villagers of Tongle Village to clash with the army. The villagers of Tongle Village have suffered countless casualties, and Tongle Village has also suffered a catastrophe. ”
"However, the captains and soldiers who robbed the tomb did not leave, and they all died in the tomb." Lin Xia said, "For thousands of years, although there have often been tomb robbers who come to rob tombs, the final result is either death or scarelessness. Because of the massacre of the village back then, the villagers who survived were particularly xenophobic, so they called anyone who came to the village from the outside was a demon! This statement continues to today's Xiwang Village. ”
Lin Xia said this, silent.
I was confused and asked, "So, you and I are both demons?" ”
Lin Xia didn't answer, nor did she shake her head or nod.
I took Lin Xia's silence as a tacit consent, so I said: "This is strange, Chen Zhen sold her soul to the demon, and this demon is you and me, when did she sell her soul to the two of you?" ”
Lin Xia snorted coldly and said, "Could it be that you and I are outsiders in Xiwang Village?" ”
"You mean Xiaohan?" I asked.
"Are we outsiders?" Lin Xia rejected my speculation again.
I was immediately annoyed and frustrated.
"Can you think about it?" Lin Xia said angrily, "If the demon is us, how could Chen Zhen know that he sold his soul to the demon to save Chen Mo?" ”
I was stunned and thought for a long time before saying, "Oh, I see." You mean to say that demons have existed for a long time! But who is the devil again? ”
Lin Xia didn't answer my words, but said, "This matter starts from two hundred years ago. Two hundred years ago, a natural disaster befell Xiwang Village, and the people in Xiwang Village were miserable. Many young people are planning to leave the village and go out to earn a living. In this way, Xiwang Village has opened a precedent for one-on-one communication with the outside world. ”
"These young people are actually on a mission, and they are on a mission to find a way to save Xiwang Village and leave the village." Lin Xia said, "There were almost ninety-nine eighty-one young people who went out that year, but only one man named Liulang came back. Rokuro brought back a wizard and said that this wizard could save the people of Xiwang Village. However, the sorcerer has a requirement to use the human heart as a medicine primer. ”
"The human heart is a medicine primer? It's certainly impossible. Lin Xia said, "As soon as this matter was raised, it was opposed by the village chief and several elders. Seeing that no one was willing to use people's hearts as medicine, the wizard prepared to go home. But just as the wizard was halfway home, Rokuro stopped him and dragged the wizard back. ”
"After Rokuro pulled the sorcerer back, he gave his heart to the sorcerer privately, and the sorcerer did solve the siege of Xiwang Village after getting Rokuro's heart, but Rokuro's yin spirit was never willing to disperse." Lin Xia said, "The wizard got Liulang's heart and swallowed it alive, it turns out that he is not a skilled mage, but a weasel spirit who has been cultivating for a long time!" (To be continued.) )
