The Great Elder said to us, this Black Water Demon Cave, is indeed the beginning of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, once used this place as the residence of the Immortal Heaven, at that time it was called Longshou Mountain, and all the facilities in it were built hundreds of years ago, at that time, although it was the same remote and remote, but every year there were people to worship the Immortal Heaven and pray for the protection and blessing of the Immortal Heaven.

Later, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the national capital was set up in Beijing, and the land of Kanto became the hometown, and this Longshou Mountain, which is located in the 64th Tun of Jiangdong, is a little too far away, so I don't know which emperor at that time, he ordered an indigenous village near this Longshou Mountain to be responsible for guarding Longshou Mountain.

Speaking of which, it has been almost hundreds of years, and several later emperors have also come to worship Changshengtian, but as time goes by, in the Daoguang period, the Qing Empire began to have such internal and external troubles, and it was busy all day long, so this activity of sacrificing Changshengtian was put on hold.

But I don't know when, this Longshou Mountain began to appear abnormal, a dragon's eye grotto, began to erupt mist from time to time, accompanied by a strange roar, and then this area, it began to become desolate, the grass and trees on the mountain withered, and a large number of animals died inexplicably.

People thought that there was a demon in this place, and the people who lived in the sixty-four tun realm of Jiangdong, especially near this Longshou Mountain, almost all knew the strangeness here, so slowly, the name of the Black Water Demon Cave spread far and wide.

Later, the trouble here became more and more fierce, and people moved out of this place one after another, and slowly it became more and more desolate, and in the end, only the indigenous village that was originally ordered to guard Longshou Mountain was left, and it was still performing its duties.

This indigenous village is Shenlong Village.

For hundreds of years, Shenlongzhai has been believing in shamanism and worshiping Changshengtian, and as the closest tribe to Changshengtian, in each generation of Shenlongzhai, there will be a great shaman, who will serve in the imperial court, as the great wizard of the court, and be in charge of a sacrificial ceremony.

More than a hundred years ago, the great shaman who entered the imperial court on behalf of Shenlongzhai was the ancestor of Ansali, who was also ordered to return to Longshou Mountain and presided over the last sacrifice of the Manchu court to immortality.

This is also the reason why Ansari can enter and exit freely in Shenlong Village and has a special identity.

At that time, there was no one in the court to worship the immortal heaven for a long time, about a hundred years, and when only one emperor ascended the throne in the middle, he had come once, but unfortunately the Longshou Mountain at that time had become a black water demon cave, and the sacrificial group of dozens of people never came out after entering.

Some people say that there is a real dragon in the Black Water Demon Cave, and those who sacrifice are not sincere, so

After that, no one came again.

The people of Shenlongzhai were panicked, and they all said that this was the wrath of the Immortal Heaven, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not last long.

However, according to the custom, Shenlongzhai will still choose one of the most outstanding shamans of each generation to fulfill the promise of the year, and they also hope that this great shaman can convey the true meaning of the immortal heaven, so that the Manchu court can continue.

It's just that, as time goes by, the people of Shenlong Village begin to suffer from a strange disease, or rather, a very strange symptom.

No one can figure out what that's all about, but it's a kind of narcolepsy.

Whenever night falls, the people of the entire Shenlong Village will fall into a collective sleep, no matter what the situation can not make them wake up, at first people are not aware, and then a wizard in the village found that the people of the whole village have this situation.

At the time of entering this deep sleep, people are completely unconscious, as if they were dead.

It is necessary to wait until dawn and the sun comes out, and the whole village will slowly wake up, and no one remembers last night's qiē, not even a dream.

The person who discovered this situation was a wizard named Su Muza, and for some reason, he was the only one in the Shenlong Village who stayed awake.

Later, panic began to appear in the village, and rumors spread that the immortal heaven was going to destroy the land of miè, and people might never wake up after falling asleep one day. It is also said that this is the dark world of the far north, and this world will be swallowed up.

At that time, there was indeed such a saying, because in Siberia further north, the phenomenon of the polar night often occurred, and even in the past, in the course of the Mongols' conquest of the world, they also saw the polar night retreating, and they thought that it was another world, a world that was completely dark.

At that time, in order to control this kind of rumor, and also to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Su Muzha was on duty at night, reminding people that everything was still there, and at the same time, it was also to wake everyone up at dawn.

In fact, this kind of behavior is not so much a reminder as a self-comfort, or a protest against the destiny of heaven, because people are already asleep, where will they hear the sound of the watch?

But the strangest thing is here, everyone wakes up in the morning, they don't remember anything, but only remember the sound of the watch, and after the fifth watch, they will wake up collectively and start a day's work.

No one can explain this phenomenon, everyone said that Su Muzha is the messenger of the immortal heaven, is the messenger of light, and from then on, Su Muzha will be on duty every night to guard the Shenlong Village.

Day after day, in this strange phenomenon, Shenlong Village spent many years, and people became accustomed to this life, but there were exceptions, that is, after each generation of people who were chosen as Great Shamans, after leaving the land, would return to normal, and the night would no longer fall into a deathly slumber.

Later, some people wanted to escape, but those who escaped from Shenlong Village, perhaps because they did not have the inheritance of the Great Shaman, in the process of escaping, their souls would be lost in the vast wasteland, falling into an eternal sleep, and never waking up again.

There are exceptions, that is, outsiders who inadvertently break into this place, they will not be bothered by this power, but the people of Shenlong Village are very afraid, because after nightfall, the whole village is completely unguarded, and the safety of everyone cannot be guaranteed.

So Shenlongzhai began to close itself, creating a desolate scene outside the valley, and blocked the road into the valley with many rocks, and set up a stone monument at the mouth of the valley, they believe that this land is a cursed place set by the immortal sky, is the cemetery of the sky, and at the same time, this is also a forbidden place for human beings, and those who enter it will die.

Therefore, the stele was engraved with the words "Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land" to prevent outsiders from entering this place.

Later, Su Muza's descendants inherited his magical ability, and passed it down from generation to generation and became the night watchman of Shenlong Village.

Of course, at that time, Shenlong Village was not called Shenlong Village, but called Longevity Village, which was given by Nurhachi back then, because the people here have a surprisingly long lifespan, generally more than a hundred years old, and those shamans can live to be one hundred and forty or fifty years old.

It is said that Shenlongzhai received the great elder of Nurhachi at the age of 100, and even met Emperor Qianlong with his own eyes

If you do the math, how old does this have to be, and it is estimated that it will be at least more than 200 years old, right?

And the origin of the name of Shenlong Village is even more legendary.

After the strange narcolepsy appeared, when Su Muzha was keeping vigil, he patrolled one night, and when he walked to the back mountain, he accidentally found two giant pythons with a thick waist, and he wanted to lure the giant python away, and the two giant pythons were also very strange, he followed wherever he went, and he also showed great interest in the sound of beating the bell.

At this time, Su Muzha felt that something was wrong, and after careful observation, he found that the two giant pythons had majestic bodies, huge scales and armor, and two protrusions on their heads, which looked like the legendary real dragons.

And these two giant pythons didn't seem to have the intention of hurting people, and their temperament was relatively docile, and after a few circles around Su Muzha, they slowly left.

Later, these two giant pythons often appeared at night, and after a long time, Su Muzha found that he seemed to be able to control them with the sound of Bangzi, of course, it is still a bit exaggerated to say that they can control the sound of Bangzi, to be precise, they can become interested in the sound of Bangzi and are willing to follow that sound.

Su Muzha told the Great Elder about this, and the Great Elder was very happy, thinking that this was a sign of the arrival of the dragon, so he held a grand sacrifice and prayed for the dragon to appear, and after three days and three nights of sacrifice, the two "dragons" really appeared.

Since then, these two dragons have lived in the back mountain, people eat and drink to worship, and the name of Changshou Village has also been changed to Shenlong Village, but they have lived in such a remote place for a long time, and they will not think that in the name of Shenlong, they have actually committed the taboo of the imperial court.

But at that time, the Qing Dynasty government could not take care of this, so the name of Shenlong Village has been used, and the two "Shenlong" also live leisurely.

A hundred years have passed, and just when the divine dragon they have worshiped for nearly two hundred years began to have signs of turning into a dragon, they accidentally died a few days ago, and then, they met us

The story of the Great Elder, even if it is finished at this point, it can be seen that he has told us and the plate, perhaps, this is a secret that they have hidden in their hearts for many years, and when he finishes speaking, I can clearly see that he breathes a long sigh of relief.

Perhaps, for a few adventurers, this is just a bizarre and wonderful story, but for them, it is a puzzle that is difficult to solve for a lifetime, I don't know what year, what month, this qiē can end, the people of Shenlongzhai can re-step out of this ancient land and start their new life.

However, in his story, he still did not tell the secret of the Black Water Demon Cave, I think, probably even they don't know, maybe no one knows at all, in that mysterious place, what unknown secrets have happened.

Where did those two "dragons" come from? Why are there signs of dragons? Do they have anything to do with the huge dragon bones in the Black Water Demon Cave? Can the only remaining "divine dragon" turn into a real dragon after a few years?

None of this will ever be known.

However, we are not very entangled, in the land of China, for thousands of years, there are many long-rumored secrets, but never known. Nowadays, it is impossible for us to completely crack the truth, just to touch the tip of the iceberg of those secrets, which is enough to make our world, our lives, wonderful.

We stopped at Shenlong Village, because the Great Elder wanted to summon the soul of Ah Li, and Su He invited us to wait a little longer, so we had to agree, to be honest, we were also very curious about whether Ah Li would return to normal.

This spiritualist ceremony for Ah Li is very thrilling, she lies quietly on a makeshift simple altar, the great elder beats the shaman drum, goes up the knife mountain, enters the sea of fire, sings shaman songs, a group of people dance shaman dances around the fire, we also see many ancient, almost lost shamanic sacrifice customs, it is an eye-opener.

The night after the ceremony, Ah Li's floating spirit did not reappear.

The next day, she woke up.

Miraculous shamanism, miraculous immortality.

This day is also the day we agreed to leave, and we can't stay any longer, because this trip to the Black Water Demon Cave is confusing, and there are still many unsolved mysteries waiting for us.

Ah Li sent us far away with the whole village, and when we finally got away and looked at the Shenlong Village and waved, Ah Li suddenly ran over and stuffed something into my hand.

I spread out my hand, and on the palm of my hand was the piece of burial jade that Ansari had taken away.

I was stunned.
