Chapter 45: Master Zu
I had only heard that Zeng Xin was from the city before, but I never expected that she was still from the imperial capital, which made Su Jie very surprised.
The imperial capital is not very far from Beizhou City, and it is only a hundred kilometers away, and it takes about 20 minutes by high-speed rail.
I don't know where the man from Erlang Village came from such a great ability, he actually hooked up all the beauties of the imperial capital to the village, and widowed him for seven or eight years.
Su Jie was very surprised and depressed, the men in Erlang Village were all blooming peach blossoms, why didn't they have such a good life.
He himself didn't want to think about how many beauties he had met during this time, and which one was not the top beauty in Beizhou City.
"Okay, when are you leaving tomorrow? I'll help you carry your luggage. Su Jie laughed.
"Six o'clock in the morning, can you get up, I heard that all of you contemporary college students are very lazy, and you don't sleep until noon and don't get up. Zeng Xin smiled mischievously, which made Su Jie look a little stunned for a moment.
He scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "There are those who are messing around, and there are those who are diligent and hardworking, well, I'll come here to look for you at six o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
"Good. ”
Holding a bag of lollipops, Su Jie left with a smile, and when he left, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at what Zeng Xin was wearing today, it was an orange floral dress, very conservative.
In fact, when Su Jie saw Zeng Xin's revealing clothes, it was just that time, the one that made him bleed from his nose upstream.
After leaving, Su Jie first went to the house, the little girl went to school, her grandfather was playing with the birds at home, Su Jie put a bag of lollipops on the table, and explained to the old man twice.
The old man was still a little depressed at the beginning, what are you doing with a lollipop, my old man is too old to eat, take it back and bring it back.
However, when he heard Su Jie say that he was bringing it to Su Jie, he first looked suspicious, and then he didn't know what he thought, he patted Su Jie's shoulder with a sly smile, and praised Su Jie for being a college student, and the people who came out of the book were different, saying that he would leave Su Jie to drink two glasses.
Su Jie was confused by him, and he was inexplicable, so he quickly found an excuse to slip away.
He first returned to his old tiled house, which was very old, went into the house and cleaned it briefly, and put a stick of incense on the old man, and then prepared to go door by door, and finally went to the shrine to have a look.
But the man hadn't gone out yet, and his stomach was gurgling.
"I'm going, why are you hungry?" Su Jie rubbed his shriveled belly, a little depressed, he remembered that he had eaten two breakfasts, one for two, that is to say, he ate four for breakfast.
At that time, he felt that he had not eaten enough, no, it was not long before he was hungry again.
Su Jie was a little puzzled, what was going on? Since yesterday, there seemed to be some problems in his body, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
But I was hungry, so I must have to solve the problem of food and clothing first, so I went to Aunt Wang's house next door to buy a local chicken, and I made a soup to drink.
Then, after walking around the village and saying hello to everyone in the village, Su Jie walked all the way to the ancestral hall.
The door of the shrine is closed, this is to prevent outsiders from stealing the things inside, after all, there are still many valuable treasures in the shrine, and the key is in the village chief, an old man in his nineties, who used to be an iron buddy with Su Jie's grandfather.
Su Jie went over to ask him for the key, and the village chief said to Su Jie like the head of the family, and then mentioned Su Jie's grandfather who "died young", and couldn't help but feel sad.
Yes, although Su Jie's grandfather lived to be ninety years old, which is already considered a very long life outside, in the eyes of the village elder, he still died young.
Most of the healthy elderly in the village can live to be 100 years old, and the reason why the average age is only 90 years old is because some young people have accidents, or children die prematurely, which has lowered the average life expectancy of Erlang Village.
The secret of Erlang Village's longevity is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in Beizhou City.
After listening to the old village chief's chatter for a while, Su Jie very politely asked the old man to pay attention to his body, and after that, the old man insisted on keeping him here for lunch, and let him take a nap after eating and drinking, saying that only by taking a lunch break can he be in good health, in order to live a long and healthy life, the old man in your family is because he does not have a good habit of taking a lunch break, so he left early, you must not be like him......
Balabala, Su Jie listened to him talk a lot very depressed, and then fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up again, the village chief was gone, I didn't know where I went, I glanced at the time, it was already three o'clock, and there was a key on the table, and there was a note pressed under the key, and a word was written on the note.
"The key is the golden one, give it back to me after using it, in the ancestral hall, you must be respectful to the ancestor!"
It said this word, as for the people, I don't know where they went, so they probably went to the village to wander around.
Su Jie took the key, and sure enough, there was a golden one on it, carved with some strange veins.
I don't know what material this golden key is made of, it resembles gold, but it doesn't look like gold, it looks like it glows in dark corners, but it becomes dull and dull in the sun.
The winding path leads to the secluded place, the Zen room is deep in flowers and trees, the ancestral hall of Erlang Village is in the center of the village, I don't know why, the terrain of Erlang Village is surrounded by Cheng, the people in the village live in the periphery of the village, the place of worship is in the center of the village, and there is no family in the 100 meters around the ancestral hall.
According to the people in the village, they are not allowed to live near this area for fear of disturbing the rest of the ancestors.
The old ancestor of Erlang Village has always been called the ancestor by the people in the village, and it is rumored that he is the reincarnation of the gods and immortals.
In today's era of advocating science, anyone who says that there are immortals will definitely be ridiculed and superstitious, but the people in Erlang Village firmly believe it.
In the past, Su Jie was not, after all, we are intellectuals, and feudal superstition will make people laugh.
But since the last time he got that bead, he has obtained a magical perspective ability, which makes Su Jie start to doubt science, maybe there is really a special superpower in the world.
Take out the golden key, insert it into the big lock of the shrine, and with a slight twist, the lock will open.
This lock is not big, only the size of a fist, and the whole body is also golden, and it is very simple to unlock, Su Jie once suspected when he was a child, such a broken lock lock is here, if the thief is really coming, it can be knocked off with a hammer.
Later, there was a sacrifice in the village, the hammer in the village could not be found, the old man was still alive at that time, seeing that the time for the sacrifice was approaching, the old man took the lock and knocked it on the sacrificial bull's head a few times, and the two horns fell off and were placed on the sacrificial platform, and this lock did not do anything at all, not even scratches, since that time, Su Jie no longer feels that this is a broken lock.
On the issue of sacrifice, it is a tradition that has been handed down from ancient times in Erlang Village, a big sacrifice is carried out every ten years, no matter where the people of Erlang Village are, even if you are at the end of the world, you must rush back to worship the ancestors, otherwise you will be expelled from the village, that is to say, if you dare not come back to worship the ancestors, you will not have to come back in the future, and the ID card and household registration will also be changed for me!
Entering the ancestral hall, the space inside is very spacious, and the spiritual seats of the ancestors are placed, among which there is the spiritual seat of the old man of the Su Jie family, but it is placed at the bottom.
Su Jie gave incense to every old man, and in this hall, it did not look gloomy, but gave people a bright and peaceful feeling.
At the top, there is a statue of a person, I can't tell what material it is made of, Su Jie has not touched it, it looks like gold anyway.
This is naturally the statue of the ancestor of Erlang Village, the statue is angular, it looks very resolute and lifelike, but I don't know why, once you look away, you can't remember what this statue looks like.
On his resolute face, there were two dark green jewel-like eyes, and Su Jie's heart was shocked, these two dark green eyes were exactly the same as the one he had coaxed from Yu Yu's hand last time.
How can there be three?
He was puzzled and puzzled, and suddenly his heart moved, and the left eye waved, and a faint green light shone in his left eye.
He turned on the perspective ability, and Huo Ran found that the left eye on the statue seemed to be a little different from the right eye, the right eye looked more divine and lifelike, as if it was the eye of a living person, while the left eye was completely lifeless and very sluggish.
What's going on?
Suddenly, I don't know if it was dazzling or what's wrong, Su Jie actually saw the right eye on the statue turn, which startled him, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously, wondering if it was an illusion.
Immediately after, Su Jie suddenly felt a chill coming, making his hair stand on end and his scalp tingle, as if he had been targeted by a prehistoric monster.
Rumble!
His head rumbled loudly, as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt, and exploded in his mind, making his whole mind blank and unconscious for a moment.
I don't know how much has passed, it seems to be eternal, and it seems that there is only a moment of time, Su Jie opened his eyes, his left eye glowed, looking straight ahead, but his right eye was hazy, and he couldn't see anything.
He was so shocked that he couldn't see anything in his right eye.
There was nothing around him, and there was a statue standing in front of him, with his hands behind his back and his eyes looking at Su Jie, not angry.
Su Jie also looked at him, and his heart seemed to be turned over by a monstrous wave, and he was stunned.
This statue has come to life?
