Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Bronze Mirror Rings Loudly
Gou Banxian's hexagram when he was leaving, made me suddenly realize that I was forced to leave Xiaopanhe Village, bumpy and displaced, and experienced twists and turns, is it all an accident or coincidence? The "self" to the west, who will he be? Also, there are obviously turtles and jackals in the two stone coffins, and Gou Banxian calculated it with a hexagram, why do you say that it is the coffin of the burial of King Yu? What's inside that black hole-like whirlpool at the bottom of the river? Gou Banxian can't deduce it, and he doesn't dare to forcibly divination, I think it's a pity, if his grandfather and old god are still there, these things may not be calculated some clues.
With these questions in mind, I turned and walked back to Maitreya and Jinbao. Jinbao won't stay in one place too much, he drove so many dead bodies into the river last night, and he is going to leave with his daughter-in-law and children. Actually, I would love to tell him to go and live his life as if nothing had happened, because he was innocent and completely forcibly dragged in.
"No, water baby." Jinbao shook his head and said: "You know, I didn't believe in fate, I always felt that I could make my wife and children live a good life by relying on my own hands, but after following the sixth master for so long, I believed it, some things, since it is spread on your head, there is a reason to spread it on your head, the sixth master didn't tell me so much, but I know that he is doing big things." I'm used to the work of chasing corpses, the sixth master is alone in the river, I can't do it without a helper, water baby, let's go, do what you have to do. ”
I was silent, in fact, the days when I was separated from Jinbao were not very long, but he seemed to have matured a lot in these days, and he understood a lot of truths.
Jinbao left with his daughter-in-law and children, and I discussed it with Maitreya and decided to follow the original plan and go to Sangyuanling, where Luban's house was located. Their family has killed a lot of people on the river beach, and now it is estimated that people are panicking, and we have a chance to take advantage of it.
"I've been wondering, could that stone coffin last night leak from another ancient ship? And drifted over here? As he walked, Maitreya said to me, "Think about it, since the stone coffin containing the big turtle was originally placed in the bilge of the ancient ship, then the coffin last night was also very likely to be like this." ”
"What else is there to think about here? It's all gone. ”
"You can't say that." Maitreya shook his head: "If the stone coffin is placed in the ancient ship and no one touches it, it is estimated that it will not break out of the boat and drift to other places, what does this mean?" It shows that someone has been staring at the ancient ship and the stone coffin. ”
I was still at a loss as to the true origin of the ancient ship and the stone coffin, and I couldn't understand it so much, so Maitreya sighed, stopped talking, and hurried away with his head down. For the next three or four days, we went well. On the fifth day, Maitreya pointed to a faintly visible village in the distance and said, "I haven't been here, but it seems that this should be Sangyuan Village." ”
Most of the people in Sangyuan Village are surnamed Lu, and they are the side branches of the Living Luban Gate, and the direct descendants of their families basically live in the mountains behind the village. This is far away from the river beach, the water can not be flooded, so the village was not affected, when I arrived with Maitreya, it happened to be the sixth day of the death of those people in the living Luban family on the river beach, the village set up a spirit shed, the ringing team played non-stop, many of the bodies of the dead must not be recovered, but still in accordance with the local rules, the spirit shed put longevity wood. The craftsmanship of the living Luban family is good, and there are many people who need to ask them for help in the side door, so the family does white things, and people come and go for a while, and there is a lot of noise.
"Okay, very." Maitreya was happy at the time: "The people in their family all ran here to greet the funeral, and the back mountain was empty, so let's sneak in, even if we can't catch anyone, it's good to take a look." ”
I consulted with Maitreya for a while, and then stayed in the far part of the village to rest, I was a little worried that he had not been healed from the wounds he had suffered on the ancient ship, and although he was strong, he would be in trouble if something really happened.
I fell asleep in a groggy state, and when I woke up, it was already night, the village was doing white things, the lights were bright, and Maitreya and I felt that the time was almost up, and I helped him to re-bandage the wounds on his body, and Maitreya straightened his belly, and said that he felt very good. But as soon as he stood up, his gaze froze, and he looked back at me from the village not far away.
"Something is wrong."
I glanced in the direction he was looking, and suddenly it seemed that there was nothing unusual about the village, but when I looked closely, the people in the village were all gathered around the coffin of more than a dozen coffins in the mourning shed, walking around in a circle. I don't know if it's a local custom, because tomorrow is the first seventh, and you have to prepare for the burial. But the men walked around the coffin in circles, their limbs stiffened, as if their souls had been sucked away, and only a mindless body remained, one on the shoulder, walking slowly.
Quack
A group of old eagles flew over the village from a distance, the kind of thing that is regarded as very ominous in our hometown, a black field of old eagles, hovering over the village, and the old eagles called out, and the people walking around the coffin zombies seemed to be a little faster.
"A flock of big white geese in the west, puff puff jump down the river, hahaha"
Just as Maitreya and I were observing the movements in the village, two little girls of four or five years old jumped out of the village, the two little girls held hands, pink and lovely, one was tied with two pigtails, one was dressed in red, and the other was dressed in white, and ran from outside the village to the side of the mourning shed with a smile.
I felt that the boldness of these two little girls was a little evil, and the black man ran to the side of the spirit shed in the middle of the night to play, and he was not afraid at all.
"Little flower, come here." A little girl stretched out her little arm and beckoned into the distance, and a meow came from the darkness, followed by a black cat lazily approaching. The black cat looked indescribably strange, black and black, but its tail had leopard prints.
The big cat with a black tail was fat and fat, and walked up to the two little girls in a square step, and the little girl in red pointed to the spirit shed and said, "Take them away." ”
The big cat ran to the front of the spirit shed, the flower tail stood up like a flagpole, meowed, and those people who were circling around the coffin immediately exploded, and the big cat turned around, and everyone followed behind its butt and walked out of the spirit shed.
"Come on, come on." The two little girls jumped out and led the big cat to the entrance of the village.
Meow
The big cat barked again, and the men all fell to their knees with a poof. Two little girls, one red and one white, stood in front of the crowd, pointed with their little fingers, and said, "You have all done bad things, do you know?" What should I do if I do something bad, Xiaohua, you say. ”
The big cat didn't know if he could understand people, but as soon as the little girl spoke, it barked.
"Yes." The two little girls clapped their hands and said, "If you do something bad, kowtow." ”
Bang bang bang
Before the words fell, the person kneeling on the ground rushed to the ground, banging up, it was definitely not a joke, just two or three times, someone had already kowtowed his head and broke the blood, but he still didn't stop, and continued to slam into the ground. The two little girls clapped their hands and looked ahead, and the silver bell-like children's voice sounded eerie at the moment. The kneeling people on the ground kowtowed continuously, and the sound of knocking one after another, and not long after, someone fell to death by himself, his body was crooked, and he collapsed softly.
"Is this the enemy seeking revenge in the living Luban's house?"
It didn't take long for the people at the entrance of the village to collapse, blood splattered all over the ground, and some people even had their skulls cracked, and they were not yet dead, and they still hit their heads on the ground as if they were not dying. The sound of the knock, the cry of the big cat, and the still immature laughter of the little girl echoed in the night sky.
Bell, bell, bell
At this time, there were people in the village who got up at night to see this scene, and they rang a bell in the village in a hurry, and soon, a group of people ran out of Hulala, and at the same time, the back mountain not far away also received the bell, and the sparkling firelight gathered together from all directions, and then rushed down the mountain, swarming towards this side.
"A group of pigs, running fast, followed by an old lady" The little girl saw someone coming, she didn't panic, clapped her hands and laughed.
When the people of the village rushed to the entrance of the village, a person slowly walked out not far away, I could not see the man's face clearly, but he was dragging an ash pole almost two meters long. I suddenly remembered the ugly-faced man who appeared in the sky not long ago when I was chasing the yin-yang sedan chair in Lao Huailin.
The two little girls jumped up and down and pounced on the ugly-faced man, the ugly-faced man did not speak, reached out and touched their heads, and the people in the village happened to rush to the front, the ugly-faced man straightened his arm, and waved the ash rod, the force was terrifying, and the first two people were swept down by a stick, and they struggled twice and did not move.
What is the origin of the ugly-faced man, I don't know, but he seems to have a strong murderous aura, the stick dances, a stick can knock down a person, the bell in the village rings non-stop, the village is close to the back mountain, the distance is very close, the Lu family who came from the back mountain has bypassed the road outside the village, and is coming.
The ugly-faced man didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, and smashed down more than a dozen people in one go. In the wailing, the direct family of the Lu family arrived, and Hulala surrounded the ugly-faced man in the middle.
"They were all brought over from the back mountain, just to give us a chance!" Maitreya patted me and said, "Take a detour and go to the back mountain." ”
I really want to see how this ugly-faced man will deal with the predicament in front of him, his murderous aura is so heavy that people dare not get close. I looked back as I walked, and the ugly-faced man was completely murderous, and he was majestic. Maitreya and I didn't dare to walk up the mountain, so we climbed up from the back side of the mountain, which would definitely be a little tiring, but it was safer. Before we could reach the halfway point, many pillars of light lit up from the east side of the village, and the men were walking unhurriedly, but as soon as they saw the fight at the entrance of the village, they immediately quickened their pace.
"Why are so many people here?" I looked at it, and there were quite a few people coming.
"Don't worry about it so much, let's do our thing."
Maitreya and I climbed the back hill as fast as we could, and the back hill was empty, but the courtyard was connected, and we couldn't tell which courtyard was where the people lived. At this time, when I looked back, the ugly-faced man had been solidly surrounded by the crowd in the middle.
At this moment, the Zhenhe mirror on my chest suddenly shook suddenly, and there was a sound for no reason, and the sound was not at all like the sound of the bronze mirror, but like a person's moan.
My heart suddenly tightened, I couldn't think about anything, I didn't know why Zhenhe Mirror suddenly made such a sound, but I could vaguely hear that the voice was very similar to the voice of an old ghost.
