Chapter 174: The Secret of the Aqueduct

Yes, Ye Qiu is fine, he is a monster, a monster that cannot be examined with the eyes of a normal person, or rather, he is not a human at all!

When this guy entered the house with two pheasants in his hand and lowered his head, I was stunned for a moment and only asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Stoned." Smashed...... Stoned ...... I had already completely convinced this old man, he sat down and rummaged for a while as if he was nothing, and after a while he turned out two clay pots from the house, he took them in his hand and weighed them and said, "It's okay, you can use it." ”

I drank the fragrant chicken soup, and at that moment I decided to have a good conversation with him, but when I tore off the large piece of chicken thigh meat to show favor to him, he took a few bones out of the jar and threw them to the dumb and said, "Come, this is your ......"

In an instant, I had a feeling of being ignored again, okay, let him go, I don't bother to care if you like to take care of it or not.

Cha Wenbin seems to be in spirit, but in fact he is still weak, continuous blood on the tip of the tongue and blood on the middle finger, last night's fight has already overdrawn all his essence, and now he is just forcing a smile to show us, he is always keeping the most bitter things to himself, and putting the greatest pressure on his shoulders.

Today's weather is good, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, there are still some clouds and mist, but suddenly the Taoist temple in the forest has seen the roof, Gu Lao said: "It is estimated that the fog on this mountain should disperse in another twenty minutes, and standing here, the landform within a radius of dozens of miles will be unobstructed." ”

After taking over the conversation, I said: "I'm looking forward to it, I said that I grew up in Hongcun since I was a child, but I really didn't know that there were so many mysteries in it, and I didn't know the true face of Lushan, just because I was in this mountain." ”

"Brother Xia, this village is not simple, most of the earliest historical records about China start from the Yellow River Valley. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in addition to Hemudu culture and Liangzhu culture, there are few more famous cultures. The northwest of Zhejiang is located at the intersection of the inland and the coast, with high mountains and dense forests, and I think it should have been closed here before the Southern Song Dynasty. These stone houses don't look like the style of Jiangnan, but they are a bit like the stone houses of Bashu and the old caves. ”

"What is the Abandoned Old Cave?" I've never heard of anything like this in the Hongcun area.

Gu Lao said: "In ancient times, productivity was low, and the "abandoned old hole" was used to place those who had reached the age of 60 to "burden" the elderly. The cave is small enough to be curled up, and there is an equilateral triangular stone hole on the inside of the bottom of the cave with sharp edges just enough to accommodate an adult's head. It is said that the stone hole was used for the suicide of the old man in the cave. In ancient times, the "abandoned old hole" will be the door slot and the bolt hole are carved outside the cave, when the old man who is locked in the cave can not stand the hunger and cold, he will lie down on his back, put his head into the stone hole, face up to the top, the sharp stone ridge will help the old man end his life. ”

I stuck out my tongue and said, "It's cruel." ”

Gu Lao said: "Last night, Brother Cha found that there were bones all over here, and I had a question in my heart, when Xiaobai dug up the remains, I secretly checked it, and found that the bones and teeth of the skeleton she dug out were worn out very badly, and the permanent teeth were almost to the root. This indicates that the deceased was older at the time of death. The Chinese nation has always given priority to filial piety, especially the Central Plains civilization of the Yellow River generation, but at the same time China also had a very glorious Bashu civilization in the southwest region, which, as far as I know, was a tribal empire that was highly ruled by religion. Their mastery of smelting technology and silkworm breeding technology even surpassed the Central Plains civilization of the same period, the old cave has been recorded in some legends of Cuban Shu, until fifteen years ago, when your country was preparing to build the Three Gorges Project for investigation, you accidentally found forty-eight stone houses on a hillside that are very similar to what we saw. ”

Looking at our expressions of interest, Gu Qinghe greeted: "Brother Cha, come and see, there is such a structure in the house where we lived last night." ”

Gu Qinghe took us into the stone house, he pointed to the corner near the stove and said: "If it wasn't for a large amount of rain coming in from inside yesterday, I wouldn't have found that there is a hole here, but this hole is round, and they didn't choose stone tools, but wrapped a layer of metal around this circle, you see." ”

Sure enough, there was a green round thing on the inner wall of the stove, and this thing was just enough to clip into a person's head, and it would be a bit laborious for a figure like a fat man. However, it was probably too long, and only half of the ring stuck in the stone remained, covered with patina, and at a glance it was a bronze artifact. Judging by the thin edges, this thing should have been pretty sharp back then.

Looking at the door of the house again, there is indeed no bolt inside the door, living in the mountains and mountains naturally needs to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, there is no reason why there is no bolt in the house, and the lighting of the window is also very small, not much bigger than a slap, so it is really possible that it is the abandoned old hole that Gu Qinghe said.

At this time, Ye Qiu said coldly: "I smell blood. ”

Cha Wenbin's face changed: "Where?" ”

He pointed to the corner and said, "Right there, there were many dead people in this house, and there were rivers of blood, and there were things that the rain could not wash away. ”

Cha Wenbin nodded and said, "For example, we were lucky to escape last night." ”

"Didn't you beat them up?" I still remember how majestic Cha Wenbin was last night, that posture was like a god descending to earth, the electricity, the thunder, and the incantation were 10,000 times more professional than the dancing gods in the village.

Cha Wenbin shook his head and said: "I took advantage of luck to calculate that the full moon was not long last night, and the weather would have an anomaly, but I just borrowed the weather that was about to thunderstorm as a guide." This is just barely surviving **, the real dragon does not live at the mouth of the stagnant water, the yin qi here has been growing for thousands of years, if it were not for the Tianmu Mountain Range rising from this mountain, there is still a remnant of the dragon vein, and the plague would have broken out within a radius of 100 miles, and the corpses would have been everywhere. ”

"Another point, Brother Cha is still young, last night I saw that your Dao method seems to be forcibly overdrawn pure yang blood sacrifice, tangible and powerless, and you can't fully exert this set of Tiangang Earth Evil Technique. Brother Cha, let me give you a suggestion, after last night's battle, you will have to clean up for at least three years, and it is possible to make up for what you lost. ”

Since Gu Qinghe took the initiative to open his mouth, there was no need for Cha Wenbin to be sloppy anymore, and said bluntly: "Forgive me for my clumsiness, I didn't see that Gu Lao was not only a university scholar, but also proficient in Dao Gate Mathematics, dare to ask Old Mr. Gu when he cultivated the Tao, and what sect and sect he studied from?" ”

Gu Qinghe said with a smile: "I just admire Taoist culture, although I have a US passport, but I have always regarded myself as Chinese in my heart." Since I have said this, I will not hide it, my grandparents used to be a Taoist under the Qingcheng Gate, and they studied under Yunyangzi Ink Han. Later, because of an accident on Qingcheng Mountain, my ancestor was forced to leave the division and went to Nanyang through Guangxi, and then went to the United States to work as a miner. Because he could understand the direction of the feng shui mountains, he could find the veins of the mineral deposits for the mine owner, and he was later reused. When I was a child, I used to hear him tell some stories about Chinese Taoist priests, and I wanted to learn them, but he refused. He said that Taoist priests fight with the sky and the earth but never fight with people, so they often suffer from the curse of heaven and cannot die well, and finally my grandfather also died in a mining accident, and the body has not been found so far. ”

Cha Wenbin laughed at himself: "Just like this, I can understand the magic of heaven and earth, it seems that I am really a frog at the bottom of the well, and I thought that I had learned some great things, but it made Mr. Gu laugh." ”

Gu Qinghe stopped again and again and said: "Non-yes, non-yes, Brother Cha's moves and styles are not something that can be practiced overnight, once I had a very good friend who gave me a lot of information about Taoist methods, spells and moves. Because of my personal profession and interests, I have the privilege to know one or two, as far as I know, the Tiangang Earth Demon Technique can only be used at least after the age of thirty-six, a total of one hundred and eight moves, with the pace of the mantra, one must not be wrong. I've only heard about it, but I've never seen it, but yesterday Brother Cha had opened my eyes. ”

"You must know that people's hearts are not ancient, inspiring the evil spirit of heaven and earth, and evil stars are on the verge of the world. These thirty-six Tiangang and seventy-two earth evils are born from the good and evil qi of heaven and earth, a total of one hundred and eight divine generals, I have just learned a superficial one. I didn't measure myself, and I wanted to forcibly open the altar according to the gourd painting scoop, but I was hurt by the evil spirit. Saying this, Cha Wenbin coughed twice, his face was not as good as before, he saw that I was nervous, he just shook his hand and said: "Don't get in the way, just rest for a few days, people are always responsible for their own self-determination." ”

Walking out of the house, Cha Wenbin and Ye Qiu came to a piece of the house, and he gently pulled it twice with his hand, revealing a stone path about the size of a palm. Ye Qiu tidied up a little and found that one side of the stone road was connected to the round hole of the house, and the other side seemed to lead to both ends, which was a bit similar to the drainage gutters commonly used in the village now.

The two looked at each other one after another, and probably had a little answer in their hearts, the terrain of the houses here is from low to high, with two rooms in each row, increasing upwards in turn, and the construction is very planned. Cha Wenbin walked up along the terrain, and along the path, the gutter-like stone path ran through the village until it reached the peak.

"They were very thoughtful and knew how to build a drain," I said. ”

Cha Wenbin sighed and said, "This is not drainage. ”

"Ah......h

He picked up a stone and threw it down the hillside and said, "This is a blood drain, a blood drain trough connected to every house, so these stones have some mottled brown on them, which have been soaked in blood for a long time. As soon as the sun came out during the day, it was on these stones, so Ye Qiu said that he smelled blood. ”

It's really a stupid brother, I'm afraid that these two stupid noses are more agile than stupid, I don't know which dynasty and which generation left something, he can still smell it, it's really a god!

Gu Qinghe said: "The purpose of collecting blood is nothing more than to use it in priesthood or ceremonies all over the world, and only people in the barbarian era would believe that blood would bring them courage and strength. ”

However, this time, Cha Wenbin did not agree with his statement, he said: "Not necessarily, in China, there is also a kind of blood magic art, this kind of evil art is not for the living, on the contrary, it is specially prepared for the dead......
