"Then I hid in that secret room, waiting for life and death," Lu Liang said: "No one dares to go out rashly, we have handed over our fate to 019, and my disciple took the time to copy all the strange words on it......"

019 was a silent man, he would never tell them half a superfluous word, and their people were also seriously injured, so these people bandaged them with their own needles and threads, and then 019 ordered two of them to go out to explore the way, and then after making sure that there was no movement outside, the group began to return the same way.

"019 didn't tell you what they encountered?" Cha Wenbin asked, "What about later?" After you come out. ”

Lu Liang took a puff of his cigarette and said: "Later, we began to rest in the camp, and after another three days, all the places where 003 announced the upstream interception were reopened, and the water began to flow into the lake from the new, which became the Merlin Reservoir you see now." And we were called by 003 to talk one by one, and we were not allowed to talk about anything unrelated to water conservancy, you know that the people of that era were very loyal, and had a special affection for the organization and the country. Each of us wrote a letter of guarantee, and it was said that this letter of guarantee would be put in the file and follow us for the rest of our lives, and it was a test, and the reservoir was built in the next three months, but in fact, the end of the Merlin reservoir was very hasty, and my disciples had already had bad reactions during that time. ”

"Fever, cough." Lu Liang said: "At first, I thought it was just an ordinary cold, but this phenomenon is not only my people, 019 they also appeared, the skin began to fester, the body began to stink, there was no way, they were all secretly transported out one after another, in that group of people, 019 and I and the rest of the few people are lucky." At the time, we thought that there was some kind of bacteria infected under it, but then I went to someone to interpret the text transcribed by my disciple and got the final answer, which was a curse. ”

"Cursed?" Li An said: "A while ago, I read the newspaper that there was also a curse in the pyramids of Egypt, and several archaeologists who went in died inexplicably. ”

Cha Wenbin said: "According to the situation they described, I personally think that it is more likely to be some kind of germ, and the symptoms mentioned by Mr. Lu are very similar to the Zhang Weidong who died a few days ago, and he is also ulcerated and foul all over his body." Most of the curses are frightening, and people are born with a kind of awe of death, so they will leave a curse to try to keep those descendants from disturbing their rest, I wonder if Mr. Lu's share is still there? ”

"No," he said, shaking his head, "I happened to meet a fortune teller back then, and he was very accurate, and he said almost nothing wrong in the first half of my life, so I took out the manuscript left by my disciple and showed it to him, and he said that this kind of writing is a curse. ”

"Fortune teller?" Cha Wenbin frowned and said, "Did he take that thing?" ”

"He said that this curse needs to be dissolved, otherwise those who died will not be at peace, and I am already ashamed of those disciples of mine, who were all recruited into the team by me back then, and if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have ...... so young."

"What are the characteristics of that fortune teller?"

"Features," Lu Liang thought for a moment and said: "The clothes are a little tattered, I met them when I came to my door to ask for food, by the way, his surname is Jia!" ”

Hearing this, Cha Wenbin only felt "hum" in his heart, how could it be so coincidental, the Taoist priest Zhang Weidong met was also surnamed Jia, and he was a begging for food! Cha Wenbin hurriedly asked again: "When was that?" ”

"Last year," Lu Liang said, "I was already retired, and I rarely went out on weekdays, and I happened to meet him downstairs when I needed to go out to check my body that day." He said that I had a few debts in my body, and I was retired, especially because I couldn't let go of the things of the year, so I started talking to him, and then I ......"

"Okay, Mr. Lu, take care," Cha Wenbin basically understood in his heart when he arrived here, there must be something wrong with the Taoist priest surnamed Jia, not to mention whether he can understand those strange words, if a Taoist priest wants to tell fortunes to people, he will not calculate 100% of the true past. Even if someone really has such a powerful ability, he won't say it all, everyone knows that there is no good end to breaking the sky, which is tantamount to joking about his own longevity. Seeing that the time was almost up, he got up and said goodbye to Lu Liang first, this old man brought him too much information, and he couldn't even digest it for a while.

After Cha Wenbin left, he went to the Anxian Historical Museum with Li An to check it, and there was no mention of large-scale construction in Molin Town in all the county records of Anxian County, and there was no such civilization in the history of Anxian County, so who built such a mysterious underground palace, and why did it become a lake in later generations, and the aborigines of Molin Town lived there for generations?

If there is no answer, then wait for the answer, Cha Wenbin vaguely predicted in his heart that he would soon get the answer he wanted, but he didn't expect the answer to come so quickly.

It is around the time of the summer heat, and at this time there will be folk activities to celebrate and praise Zhongyuan, commonly known as "as a seventh half" or "Zhongyuan Festival". In the old days, from the beginning of July, there was a ceremony to open the ghost gate, and until the end of the month, until the end of the month, the ghost gate was closed, and the Pudu almsgiving activity was held. Pudu activities start by opening the ghost door, and then erect lanterns, and release river lanterns to attract lonely souls; The main body is building the Pudu Altar, erecting lonely sheds, interspersed with robbing orphans, etc., and finally ends with closing the ghost door.

As a Taoist priest, he not only wants to cultivate the Tao and enlighten the Tao, but he knows better than anyone how to deal with the relationship between them. Therefore, from the time the ghost door was opened, Cha Wenbin would appear at various intersections, bridgeheads and cemeteries around evening, and these places were all places where lonely souls and wild ghosts gathered in his eyes. Along the way, he had to put incense and pressure money every day, place some sacrifices, and respect the gods and ghosts is to respect himself, all of whom are people who have passed away, and more or less let them feel the friendship of the world, so that they will not harm the world.

In the summer season, the most lively thing in Anxian County is to put lanterns, there is a river in Anxian County, named Tiaoxi, this river is from Hongcun, the end of the river flows to the Huangpu River into the East China Sea through Taihu Lake, so it is the source of the Huangpu River. The upper reaches of Tiaoxi are the Lion Peak, and the entrance of Hongcun is the Water Dragon Pond five kilometers inward, and it is the best place to put lanterns here.

The river lantern is also called "lotus lantern", which is generally placed on the base lamp or candle, and placed in the rivers, lakes and seas in the middle of the night, and let it drift. The river lantern is released for the purpose of purifying the water ghosts and other lonely ghosts. Later, putting lanterns gradually became a folk activity, in that era of lack of entertainment, Cha Wenbin would occasionally be romantic, that day he took Concubine Yu to the Water Dragon Pond to join in the fun.

This lantern is naturally at night, Concubine Yu is skillful, the lantern is finely made, and by the way, she also made a few for Lao Xia's family. Lao Xia's daughter-in-law is pregnant, and it is estimated that she will be able to add a big fat boy in the coming year. When the two families came back happily after putting out the lanterns, they passed by the gate of the big temple, and Cha Wenbin saw a person leaning on the stone side of the temple gate from a distance.

The Hongcun Temple is not an auspicious place for the locals, most people avoid it, although there are also people from other villages who have come in to put lanterns recently, but who will squat there in the dark night? Cha Wenbin couldn't help but look at it twice, his action attracted Lao Xia's attention, and said: "That's a food, it's been here for two days, and people who come to pass by often encounter such a season, everyone is willing to give some money, and it is estimated that it will be a lot in these two days." ”

Lao Xia's daughter-in-law also said: "This is a bit interesting, he doesn't seem to want to eat white food, but he will return the gift if he gives money, and give a poured "blessing", but now it is neither New Year nor festive, and his blessing word is estimated to be a disposal item that cannot be sold in other stores, so let him be a good person." ”

"Really?" Cha Wenbin said: "That's really interesting, since I encountered it, then I'll go over and take a look." So saying, he walked toward the man. It was very dark, and the man brought a hat to cover most of his face, and the clothes on his body were also tattered, and there was a bowl, a mat, and a rag bag at his feet.

Cha Wenbin took out a few change and bent down to throw it into the bowl, he deliberately lowered his body and looked up to see the person's appearance, but the man turned his head slightly, and when Cha Wenbin got up, he didn't react at all.

"Didn't you say that you would repay your wish if you gave money?" Cha Wenbin asked: "Why don't you give me a blessing when I give alms?" ”

The one who asked for food actually said, "Because you are not blessed in your life, it is useless for me to give it to you." This is for others to be afraid that they will quarrel with him soon, but Cha Wenbin is not biased, but says with a smile: "It seems that this friend is still a person who understands numerology, so tell me where my blessing has gone?" ”

"You are born unblessed, just go and put the lanterns, I see that you are also kind-hearted but send you a word, you put the lanterns a little earlier, and this water will harm you in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"In a few years you will understand what I mean, you will hate this water, it will take away the happiness of your life, it will become a lingering shadow for your life."
