Chapter 257: Hints 21 before the supplement
After being reminded by Wushuang, I suddenly thought of my grandmother and Chen Xiaojiu.
Back then, after we killed the Immortal. Chen Xiaocai and Yang Gongzi sued. said that Yang Gongzi forcibly seized his sister. All of a sudden, it was all right. Chen Xiaojiu was forcibly occupied by Yang Gongzi, and this kind of thing will naturally not be told to future generations. She hated Yang Gongzi, and even hated everyone surnamed Yang.
Sure enough, the mysterious man whispered: "It is said by word of mouth in our clan that Grandma C's name is Chen Xiaojiu. Then he pulled out a yellowed portrait from his bosom.
The portrait is painted on a white cloth. It doesn't have any artistic value, but the strokes seem very serious, and obviously, they were painted by the painter.
There is not only a portrait of Chen Xiaojiu, but also a line of words: Portrait of Lao Zu Xiaojiu.
After knowing that grandma was Chen Xiaojiu, we suddenly became enlightened.
Wushuang raised his eyebrows: "It's not difficult to resolve her grievances, we just need to go to the underworld to get Yang Gongzi up, interrogate her in front of her, and give her a breath." ”
Then Wushuang looked at me with a smile on his face: "These nasty fish scales on your body will fall off soon." ”
I nodded and sighed, "yes, yes." I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Chen Xiaojiu was actually hiding here. ”
The mysterious man was lost in thought, as if he hadn't heard what we were saying.
I said to him, "As far as I know. Back then, Chen Xiaojiu was just the daughter of a poor family in your Chenjiazhuang, and she and her sister depended on each other, and even worked as someone else's maid. Later, he died at a young age. How did she become your grandmother? ”
The mysterious man sighed and said, "There are too many legends about grandmothers. It's hard to tell if it's true or not, but we all think it's true. ”
Then the mysterious man said: "Grandma did work as a maid back then, this is true." But one year, she came back out of the blue. When she returned to Chenjiazhuang, she fell to the ground and fainted, although her grandmother left home very early, but after all, there were still a few relatives in the village≡ her relatives fell on the street, and she couldn't ignore it. So they pooled the money and hired a doctor. The doctor took the pulse, and suddenly became furious, and said, "Why did any of you dead fool me? The heartbeat has long since stopped. When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward and touched it. Isn't it? Grandma has long since lost her pulse.
But just then, she woke up. "What are you doing?" The crowd was so frightened that they fled in all directions, but the old gentleman, who was old and had poor legs, ran to the rear, and said as he ran, "You are dead, how can you still speak?" Deceived corpses, deceived corpses. At this time, my grandmother was stunned: "I'm already dead?" Immediately, she lay down on the bed. Never move again. This time, it's really dead.
"After that, it was rumored in our village that Grandma recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors, although she died, but a wisp of soul and wisdom were immortal, and she returned to her hometown with this body. It's really impressive. The more this matter spread, the more evil it became, and the county officials even issued a commendation document to build a small temple for their grandmother. Of course, the people who went to burn incense and worship were also from our Chenjiazhuang. Later, over time, my grandmother became the most prestigious figure in our Chenjiazhuang. It is only natural that we regard her as an ancestor. ”
I nodded, "I see. Then I asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the village underground is your Chenjiazhuang." ”
The mysterious man glanced at me and nodded: "Yes, that's our Chenjiazhuang." However, it has been destroyed, and our Chen family has been displaced, and we have this poison again...... Hey, it's Heaven punishing us. ”
I asked the mysterious man, "What's the matter with the poison on your body?" How did your village go underground? Even the earthquake didn't shake the whole village so completely. ”
The mysterious man said: "Actually, our village ran into the ground, which has a lot to do with the poison on our bodies. ”
I sat on the ground curiously: "What's the matter?" ”
The mysterious man said: "Since the day my grandmother died. There are people who worship from time to time. Everyone said that grandma was very smart and almost responsive. However, it is not known since when. People in the village began to get sick. First he went crazy and tore all the clothes on his body. Then there is the armor-like scales that grow on your body, and you become the kind of monster you see. All those who have poisonous hair are in pain all the time, and our Chen family is no longer afraid of death, death is actually a relief.
Later, some people began to go to the grandmother's temple to complain. When these people came home, they all had the same dream. In this dream, my grandmother told us that our Chen family had blasphemed the gods and deserved this punishment. If you want to detoxify, unless you find a person with magical powers, whether it is a Taoist priest, a monk, or a god who knows witchcraft, you have to give it a try, this person is a man, and send him to the temple of his grandmother. If we find the right person, maybe we can still be saved.
So, our Chen family went on looking for it. The first few days went well, but soon the situation got out of hand. Those monsters are not initiating a madness, scratching and biting. Not only our people in Chenjiazhuang, but even the surrounding villages have many people who have been poisoned. With the increasing number of people, there is gradually a tendency to become uncontrollable.
In the end, this incident alarmed the imperial court. I don't know who came up with the idea. Digging the river embankment, the sediment and sand are all down, and the water rolls in, burying our Chenjiazhuang even more. Except for a few who escaped, the rest were buried under the mud and sand. ”
The rest of the matter, we don't need a mysterious person to say it, we also understand. Those who escaped returned to their homeland much later. Discover that the homeland is no longer there. The sediment has not yet completely dried, walk on it, step by step. They haven't had time to make their mark on their homeland. was driven away by the people of the imperial court. Then, the sand was divided among the others.
The Chen family itself offended the imperial court, so naturally they did not dare to argue. I had to live here for generations. Rent land from others that once belonged to them. Give birth to a child with poison, and then go out to find a cultivator and find a way to detoxify. so that the children and grandchildren can return to normal.
The mysterious man looked at us and said, "It seems that you are indeed the cultivator that Grandma is looking for, and as soon as you come, you have solved the mystery that has been going on for so long." It turned out that my grandmother was burdened with such a major grievance. ”
Wushuang looked at the mysterious man suspiciously: "Chen Xiaojiu is waiting for us?" I don't feel like it. ”
Wushuang didn't say anything deeper, and I didn't think anything deeper. Because I'm thinking all over the place, how do I detoxify.
I asked Wushuang, "Do you have a way to inform my master?" Let him come to the world for a trip, and by the way, get the souls of Yang Gongzi and Chen Xiaocai. ”
Wushuang patted his chest: "What's so difficult about this?" We are father and daughter. However, then she was worried again: "It's true that father and daughter are true, but how can I let my father know that I want to find him?" ”
I made an idea for her: "Most of those yin errors belong to the City God Temple. Otherwise, let's go talk to Chenghuang in the evening. Let him tell you on his behalf. ”
Wushuang nodded: "This method is good, but you need to wait until the evening, what can you do in this daytime?" ”
I yawned and said sleepily, "Otherwise, let's go back to sleep." ”
This proposal was approved by the majority. We've been tossing and turning all night, exhausted and dizzy, and it's time to get a good night's sleep.
By this time the East had turned white. A red sun slowly jumped out of the horizon. Instantly, the light hit us.
This was a thriving landscape, but for some reason, I suddenly remembered the golden light last night, and Chen Xiaojiu, who was trapped by the golden light. I couldn't help but shudder.
After a while, we returned to the village. It's not too early by then. But there was no one on the street, and the houses were closed, and it was very quiet.
Wushuang scratched his head and asked strangely, "What's the matter?" Can't they hear that big movement last night? ”
As he was talking, a small head in front of him stretched out from the head of the gate. Immediately after, he retracted and shouted loudly: "Mom, there are living people coming to the village, and there is no war that night......"
When we heard this, we couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it turned out that these villagers thought that there was a war last night, so they were so frightened that they closed their doors.
The mysterious man helped Lao Chen back to the broken courtyard. We, on the other hand, followed our cousin home. First they gobbled it up, and then everyone was content to lie down on the bed and sleep.
This night, I slept until dark.
I don't know who woke up first and woke us up. We got up one by one, freshened up, and walked to the temple at night.
When we came out, we had already inquired, there was only a Dasheng Temple in Dasheng Village, and if you wanted to find the Chenghuang Temple, you had to go to the village next door.
By the time we reached the temple gate in the dark, it was already dark.
I walked over with a big face: "Chenghuang, Chenghuang, we have something to look for you." ”
The statue of the city god stood there silently, without the slightest reaction.
The fat man learned the lines in Journey to the West, and said in a weird manner: "Your Majesty, the gods are not at home today." ”
These words made Wushuang angry enough.
Wushuang took out the peachwood sword from his arms, pointed at the clay statue and said, "If you don't come out again, I will smash your City God Temple." ”
This sentence had an immediate effect. A voice came through the air: "Who is so bold. ”
Then, a beautiful man floated down from the roof. This person is no different from the clay statue, who is not the city god?
Seeing Chenghuang's dedication, Wushuang's original anger vanished, and she said to Chenghuang: "Please tell my father, and he will say that he has found Chen Xiaojiu." Then she added: "My dad is Zhang Yuan." ”
