Chapter 188: Beiyangzhai and Pinggu
The twilight faded, the sunset sank to the foot of the mountain, and the forest shadow disappeared into the fallen leaves, returning to the whispering of beasts. The night quietly shrouded everything, wearing the stars and the moon.
At the entrance of Pinggu Town, Jingye and Kefeng stood in front of the stone monument, their eyes falling on it, each with different thoughts.
Hearing that Jingye said that there was something Yan Youyu and Master Liao wanted to seek under the stele, Ke Feng squatted down again and touched the circle under the stele.
Confirming that the stele was firmly fixed to the ground, Ke Feng said to Jingye: "Brother Jing, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I touched it just now, and there is not even a crack under this stele." If there's a secret down there, then you'll have to go back and find someone to dig it up. ”
The golden eyes of Pure Industry stared closely at the word Pinggu on the stone tablet, he heard Ke Feng's words, but he didn't believe that there was no special mechanism here. If it really took a lot of effort to dig up the entire stone stele, then it would be impossible for Master Liao to agree with Yan Youyu's plan to kill.
"Brother Kefeng, do you know when this stele was erected, and what is the origin of the word Pinggu?" After looking at the stele for a while, Jingye turned his head and asked Kefeng.
Hearing this, Ke Feng also looked at the word Pinggu on the stone tablet, then lowered his head and thought about it, he didn't think of anything, and shook his head helplessly.
"This stele is used to commemorate a strong man. Just as Ke Feng shook his head, a familiar and old voice sounded coldly behind the two, startling both Jingye and Ke Feng.
Turning his head suddenly, Jingye saw the old lady on crutches standing quietly behind them, pointing to the stone tablet and saying slowly.
"Old lady, when did you come, there was no sound, which could scare us both to death. Ke Feng gasped and complained. I was really shaken just now, this black light was blinding, and the old lady suddenly made a sound, which was really terrifying.
"Old lady, why did you come out?" Jingye looked at the old lady and asked softly. He wasn't as serious as Kefeng, but he was too fascinated by what he was thinking about just now and didn't notice the movement behind him.
"Look at your boy's bear-like appearance, and then look at people. Young man, didn't you say that I will help you with anything. Just now I counted the silver taels shipped from Heizhai, and I was going to come to tell you, but the little guest said that you went out, so the old man came out to look for it, and saw you standing here staring at the stone tablet. The old lady said a word, and then said softly to Jingye. He knew that Pure Karma didn't want to call him Buddha, so he didn't call him that anymore.
Ke Feng snorted and didn't dare to say more. Jingye was a little puzzled when he heard this, but soon he also figured it out, looking at the old lady, he smiled softly: "The rest of the things in Heizhai can be handled by the old lady himself, and there is no need to tell me." Then I would like to ask you about the origin of this stone tablet and the origin of the word Pinggu. ”
The old lady looked at the golden pupils of the pure industry, took two steps forward, and the guest Feng on the side hurriedly supported him, worried that he would fall.
Standing in front of the stone stele, the old lady said slowly: "This town was originally not called Pinggu Town, but Beiyang Village. It was established by a family in a small country in the south who migrated to this place, and that family was called the Beiyang clan. This stele did not exist at that time, but it was only later. ”
"Old lady, why haven't I heard anyone talk about this?" When Ke Feng heard what the old lady said, he didn't have any impression in his mind, and he was very puzzled. He knows his town very well, but he really doesn't know this Beiyang Village.
"I heard my grandfather tell me these things when I was young, and I remember them for most of my life, and I'm going to tell you about them on the day you become mayor. But since the young man wants to know, the old decay will naturally not hide. This stone stele, as well as the word Pinggu, are used to commemorate a strong man in the past. The old lady glanced at Ke Feng, who asked the question, explained leisurely, and then went on to talk about the origin of the stele.
"About a hundred years ago, after two or three generations of the Beiyang family, it has long since declined, and most of the people in the village are outsiders. Suddenly, one day, a monster came here, covered in black, bubbling black, and eating people everywhere. Just when people were about to despair, a strong man came and fought with the monster for two days and three nights, and finally killed the monster under the sword, but he was also seriously injured and submerged in the forest. At that time, people only knew that his name was Pinggu, and in order to commemorate him, there was this stone tablet, and there was Pinggu Town. After telling the memories in his mind, the old lady reached out and touched the words on the stone tablet, and now no one in this town knows these things except him.
"I see, but old lady, has anything strange happened in the town since then?, for example, the stone monument has been moved, or has someone dug it here?" From this point of view, it is likely that there are some leftovers of the predecessor named Pinggu hidden under this stone stele, and Master Liao's purpose is these.
Hearing the question that Jingye asked herself, the old lady shook her hand and exclaimed, "It's really worthy of the Buddha, you know all about it!"
Jingye was stunned when he saw this, and hurriedly explained: "I guessed blindly, the old lady should talk about it quickly." ”
Ke Feng quietly supported the old lady, listening carefully to these memories that were about to be washed away by the years.
"Later, a few days after the stele was built, a flash flood rushed down and merged into the town, but fortunately, everyone did not lose much, but the stele fell to the ground. Later, when everyone was ready to re-erect the stele, they couldn't put it in. Everyone had no choice, so they all went back and thought of countermeasures. But one night later, the stele stood up on its own, tightly embedded in the ground, and the mayor of the town at that time put this matter on the strong man, so that everyone no longer guessed, and over time, they were all forgotten. After a pause, the old lady told the strange story. When this happened, there were many opinions.
After hearing these things, Jingye probably figured out these things, bowed to the old lady, and said with a smile: "Thank you for telling us these things, you may not know that there is a secret hidden under this stone tablet, which is the secret that the mayor of the town and Master Liao wanted to get." ”
Hearing what Jingye said, the old lady was stunned, and only after a while did she speak: "You mean that there is something under this stone tablet? This old man still really doesn't know, but how did Yan Youyu know?"
"It must have been the news brought by that Master Liao, and then he bought Yan Youyu, the bastard. Ke Feng said directly, since even the old lady didn't know about it, it was impossible for Yan Youyu to know, and only Master Liao knew about it.
"We looked around just now and didn't find any mechanism, but I just took a closer look at this place, and there is indeed a special aura down there. After listening to what you said, I now know that I know what the mechanism is. Jingye had no opinion on what Ke Feng said, and Jin Tong stared at the words on the stone tablet again, and he opened his mouth and smiled.
"Brother Jing, where are you found?" Hearing Jingye say that he had found the mechanism, Ke Feng said a little eagerly. He was curious about what was down there that made Master Liao so crazy.
The old lady didn't speak again, but also looked at the stone tablet with doubts in his eyes.
"You take the old lady away first. Jingye stood in front of the stone tablet, facing the word Pinggu, and said to the guest front behind him.
When Ke Feng heard this, he helped the old lady to retreat to the middle of the town and looked at the pure industry.
The two people behind him were far away, the golden eyes of Pure Industry flashed with golden light, and the spiritual power around his body appeared, and the golden light covered his whole body, illuminating the surroundings.
Stretching out Jin Can's right hand, Jingye pointed at the words, and then a white rune lit up, blocking his fingers.
Jingye looked at the runes full of various symbols, the powerful aura that had already emanated from the runes, frowned, and then sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and concentrating.
It was determined that the core mechanism was on the stone tablet, but he couldn't open this rune, and if he forcibly broke it, he was afraid that it would cost him too much energy. Therefore, Pure Karma intends to use the Buddha's eyes to see through the bottom first, and then decide whether to open it or not.
The scriptures kept ringing out of his mouth, and the eyes of the pure karma were closed, but the eyelids were very transparent. He successfully saw through the runes and saw the scene below.
Beneath the stele, there is endless darkness. A thing that exuded a rich black aura, entangled in various rune chains. Just as Pure Ye wanted to see clearly, a pair of purple pupils suddenly opened in the black aura, and then an extremely terrifying aura emanated, directly shattering his Buddha eyes.
"Poof!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Jingye suddenly opened his eyes, gasping heavily.
He didn't expect that a big demon would be suppressed down here!
